A gust of wind blew away the tarpaulin on Li Baolu's head, and the rain hit her head and face. She couldn't help but close her eyes, and heard the roar of red dates in her ears. The reins in her hand were pulled several times, and the car almost bumped. Turning over, hearing a loud boom in the car, Li Baolu's face turned ugly.

She jumped out of the car, stretched out her hand to grab the rein next to Hongzao's nose, and stroked its neck to comfort it for a while before it calmed down a little.

But she knew that animals were afraid of thunder and lightning, and if they couldn't find a shelter from the rain, they would have to stop even if it was raining.

Fortunately, the carriage was covered with a demo tarpaulin, so even if they parked in the middle of the road, they still had a shelter from the rain.

but……

Li Baolu looked at the official road that had started to accumulate water, and feared that there would be no place to park.

Just when Li Baolu was hesitating whether to abandon the car and go to a higher place, her sharp eyes spotted a little light behind the trees.

That point of light is especially noticeable in the dark sky due to rain.

Li Baolu was overjoyed, and didn't care about other things, she pulled the red dates and walked there.

Going around a grove, turning a corner, I saw the place where the light was shining, it was a temple.

Li Baolu breathed a sigh of relief, pulled the red dates and rushed over.

Several cars had been parked under the porch in front of the temple, and a dozen horses and donkeys were tied to the side.

Li Baolu's footsteps paused, a smile appeared on his face, and he happily and loudly said to Gu Jingyun in the car: Brother Yun, we found a temple.

Gu Jingyun in the car sank face into the water, frowned slightly when he heard the words, turned around and took out the crossbow arrows that Li Baolu had kept in his luggage, packed them separately, and stuffed them in an easy-to-reach place.

Li Baolu quickly pulled the car under the eaves, released the jujube and tied it aside, stroked its neck to comfort it for a while, and then took out a bundle of grass from the back of the car to bribe it, which made its wounded heart heal. Her master snorted and forgave her.

Gu Jingyun got out of the car with his luggage, saw that she was still dawdling and only trying to comfort the mule, so he stepped forward to put a coat on her with an ugly face, and said, Why don't you go in and wash and change, don't you think it's not cold enough?

Li Baolu stuck out her tongue, finished her clothes and took the two bundles in his hands into the temple. Gu Jingyun took the remaining bundle and took out the wooden barrel from the car and put it in the yard to catch water.

The wooden barrels were replenished when they passed a small town, and it was a great help to them.

As soon as the two entered the temple, people in the temple cast their eyes on their faces.

Seeing that they were all half-grown children, everyone's hearts couldn't help but tighten.

They are not afraid of adults, because most of the people walking outside are adults, old and weak, women and children, those who dare to wander outside, and dare to live in deserted temples, most of them have something to rely on, such people are the last to offend, and they should be the most careful.

As for the two half-grown children, not to mention the girls, the boy was pale and looked not very healthy, but no one dared to look down on them at this time.

Li Baolu's gaze swept across the temple, and when he glanced at the east corner, his eyes paused for a moment, then he moved away as if nothing had happened, and went to the northwest corner first, there was only one vacant space there, and other places were occupied.

This is a ruined temple, inside which is dedicated to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. The Buddha statue is a little crooked and corroded. The cobwebs on the beams are connected together, which seems to have taken up the entire temple, which shows how dilapidated it is.

In such a place, it is rare to see people resting here in a year, but because of the sudden heavy rain, many people gathered in the temple at this time.

Two fires rose in the east corner of the temple, and they were divided into men and women. A few strong men sat on the outside to protect the people inside. They probably had just arrived not long ago, and they were quite embarrassed, but Li Baolu paid special attention to their appearance. The reason was that she had seen several of them in the convoy of the Weiyuan Escort.

If there is no accident, they are members of Weiyuan Escort Bureau.

But this is the northern part of Fujian, and they will enter Zhejiang after another day and a half. These people are going to the capital, and the fastest route should be to go to Jiangxi. How could they come to Fujian?

The center of the temple is occupied by two youths from the rivers and lakes. They are sitting cross-legged on the ground, sharing a roast chicken, and taking a sip from the water bag from time to time. They can tell that it is wine by smelling the smell.

The reason why they knew that they were people in Jianghu was not only because of their free and easy movements, but also because of the swords they placed beside them, and because Li Baolu heard the two whispering about the new round of martial arts competition.

Li Baolu almost fell to the ground with her left foot mixed with her right foot. It turns out that there were such things as martial arts conferences in ancient times.

The southwest corner near the door is occupied by two peasants. There are two large baskets beside them, filled with pears. They are sitting by the fire while drying clothes, while looking worriedly at the outside. rainstorm.

And occupying the southern corner, not far from them are four big men. Li Baolu glanced at them, and felt that the youngest among them, only in his early twenties, seemed to be the son of an aristocratic family who came out to study, while the other three People faintly respect him and take good care of him, like his guard, but they don't look like ordinary guards.

Li Baolu glanced at it and then gave up, put the things on the ground and began to toss about changing clothes.

After sweeping away the thatch on the ground, she saw a mass of water stains on the ground, and then she knew why the two peasants didn't choose the place near the back, but chose a place like the door, because it was leaking here!

Gu Jingyun also saw it, he moved back a little, glanced at the temple, and found three thick sticks to prop up.

He took out a blanket from a bundle and wrapped it around the stick to create a private space. He seemingly casually picked up a bundle and stuffed it into Li Baolu's arms, saying, Go in and change.

Li Baolu took the bundle and got in, Gu Jingyun glanced around the temple sharply, everyone looked away and lowered their eyes obediently.

Zheng Yi withdrew his gaze and sighed softly, I don't know if it's a coincidence, or...

Young master, why don't I go over and find out? The escort who had talked with Gu Jingyun said: They don't have enough firewood, I'll take some over there, if it's really a coincidence, maybe we can ask them for help...

Zheng Yi thought for a while, then nodded and said: Okay, don't force it.

The bodyguard nodded, secretly paying attention to the movement over there, planning to wait for the little girl to change her clothes before going over.

And the young man surrounded in the middle also raised his eyebrows slightly. He leaned against the wall in a relaxed posture, pointed to the firewood on the ground and nodded slightly to the young man on the left. The young man got up and threw a handful to Gu Jingyun. He shouted: That kid, this is for you, come over and light the fire yourself.

With a smile on the corner of Gu Jingyun's mouth, he got up and bowed to the four of them, thanking him, Thank you, brother.

But he didn't go over to light the fire, but continued to stand in front of the fitting room and wait for Li Baolu.

After Li Baolu changed her clothes and came out, she reached out and touched Gu Jingyun's body, seeing that only his sleeves were a little wet, she felt relieved, I'll make ginger soup in a while, you can drink more.

Gu Jingyun nodded.

Li Baolu pushed the person into the fitting room, Hurry up and change, I'll light the fire.

She turned around and smiled at the four young men, and said sweetly: Thank you four big brothers, but I don't have anything to ignite here.

All the firewood was given, and the four of them were not stingy with something to light the fire. A young man who was closest to them simply picked a burning firewood from the fire and gave it to her.

Li Baolu used the pile of firewood to quickly start a fire.

The bodyguard and Zheng Yi finally came up with an excuse: ...

Li Baolu has some commonly used medicinal materials. As an important medicinal material and ingredient, ginger, Li Baolu naturally also prepared a lot.

She directly took out a large piece, took out a sickle from the bundle, and peeled it, and quickly peeled the ginger into small pieces.

Pour the water in the water bag into three bowls, and put the pot directly on the fire.

Looking at the nearly empty water bladder, Li Baolu looked anxiously at the rainwater outside. It should be drinkable. It is said that literati like to use rainwater to make tea...

As soon as Gu Jingyun came out, he saw the expression on his little wife's face. He twitched the corners of his mouth and said, Go and bring the wooden barrel back, and just boil the water for a while. After a pause, he explained: Don't worry, the rainwater Even if it’s not clean, it won’t go anywhere, it can be drunk.”

Li Baolu let go of her heart, and hurriedly ran to pick up the wooden bucket.

Because they had just passed the heavy rain, both of them were exhausted, and neither of them wanted to move, so dinner was porridge made from two handfuls of rice.

Gu Jingyun drank the ginger soup, but he didn't mind, he drank a bowl of hot porridge and leaned against the wall to sleep in a daze.

Li Baolu was in better health than him, so she tidied up after she was full, and spread a layer of dry thatch on a place that would not leak, then spread a blanket on the thatch, and dragged Gu Jingyun to let him sleep on the blanket.

The people in the temple also saw Gu Jingyun take out a pillow from a big bag and put it on the blanket.

Everyone: ...

The young man raised his eyebrows in surprise, he didn't expect this person to be more delicate than him.

Zheng Yi, on the other hand, was speechless for a while, stopping the bodyguard who wanted to inquire. Forget it, these two people really look like they went out for an outing. Such a person would not do such a thing as robbing a bodyguard, because he would eat too much Bitter.

As for asking the other party for help, Zheng Yi was even more hopeless. If he really wanted to get involved with them, it would be impossible for them to live such a leisurely life, and the other party would probably not agree.

Li Baolu yawned, moved the stick used as a fitting room to the outside, and swung a few pieces of clothes up, immediately separating everyone's eyes.

She lay beside Gu Jingyun, with her arms around his, and fell asleep sleepily.
