Chapter 326 Meeting Again
Fortunately, when the carriage turned a corner, we saw a dilapidated temple standing in the mountains.
Qingzhi was overjoyed and immediately drove the carriage towards the dilapidated temple.
However, the rain came too quickly. Just as it was about to reach the gate of the dilapidated temple, there was a loud thunder and heavy rain fell impatiently. Qingzhi was soaked like a drowned chicken in a short while.
After parking the carriage, the three of them entered the ruined temple.
The dilapidated temple has been in disrepair for a long time. There are cobwebs among the broken walls and ruins. There is an air of desolation everywhere. The walls are mottled and there are several leaks on the roof.
After touring the temple, Lin Shuyue chose a relatively intact room as her place to stay.
Although it is "intact", it is only in comparison with the main hall which has a leaking roof, no windows and no doors.
As soon as he entered the room, Lin Shuyue took out a fire starter from the space and blew it gently. He looked around with the weak light of the fire and found a relatively dry place in the corner.
Then she took out the pots and pans that would be needed later, as well as Qinghe and Qingzhi's packages from the space, and she carefully filled the pots with water.
Qingzhi fumbled to untie the package, walked to the shadow in the corner with the faint firelight, quickly took off the wet clothes that were clinging to her body, and changed into clean clothes.
Qinghe found some slightly dry wood and skillfully built a bonfire. She placed the iron pot filled with water steadily on the fire and began to prepare dinner.
Lin Shuyue took out a few sweet potatoes from the space, buried them in the fire, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I tasted roasted sweet potatoes. Today is a good time to satisfy my craving."
The three of them ate a bowl of hot noodles with meat sauce in the warm firelight, and then pulled out a few plump roasted sweet potatoes from the fire.
The skin of the roasted sweet potato was charred and cracked, and still emitting a thin smoke. When the fingernail dug into the charred skin, there was a crisp "crack" sound, revealing the golden-red potato flesh. The sweet fragrance mixed with the hot air hit my nose, which was particularly tempting on this cold rainy night.
“Hiss! Hot, hot, hot!”
"What a nice smell! So sweet! Miss, this roasted sweet potato is even better than the one Aunt Sun roasted before." Qingzhi couldn't wait to take a bite, and it sizzled from the heat.
Lin Shuyue raised her eyebrows. These were sweet potatoes grown in her space. How could they not be delicious?
Just as we were enjoying our meal, we suddenly heard a noise coming from the direction of the main hall of the dilapidated temple.
Qing He stood up alertly, "Miss, it seems someone is coming."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard several footsteps approaching from afar, and then the door of the wing room was suddenly pushed open, and several tall and strong men who were soaking wet rushed in, led by a big man with a face full of flesh.
Lin Shuyue put down the roasted sweet potato in her hand and looked at the people at the door with a calm expression, "Everyone, what can I do for you?"
The person at the door glanced around the rooms and his eyes fell on the fire next to Lin Shuyue and the others.
"Boss, there's a ready-made fire. Hey, there are also roasted sweet potatoes."
A man with a wart on his mouth excitedly pointed at a few round roasted sweet potatoes on the ground and shouted at the leading man, completely ignoring Lin Shuyue's questions.
The leading man looked Lin Shuyue and the other two up and down, then walked inside, not forgetting to greet the people behind him: "Brothers, there is a fire here, come in and warm yourself by the fire and eat some roasted sweet potatoes to fill your stomach."
"Get out."
Lin Shuyue frowned unhappily and scolded harshly.
Qing He and Qing Zhi quickly stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right to protect her. They drew the daggers from their waists in tacit understanding. A cold light flashed, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The leading man was stunned at first, then burst into laughter: "Brothers, these three guys who haven't even grown all their hair are trying to chase us away."
"This brat is too ungrateful. Boss, let me teach them a lesson and see if they dare to be so arrogant again."
The man with warts rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Lin Shuyue and the other two, staring at them with a malicious grin on his lips.
Lin Shuyue's face suddenly turned cold. Since these people were determined to die, she would not hold back anymore.
She turned around and gave Qingzhi a wink.
Qingzhi understood what he meant, and immediately leaped up with all his strength. Without waiting for the person opposite to react, he kicked the person walking towards him hard in the chest. The person immediately flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily on the bluestone slab outside the wing room.
Then, he suddenly turned around and slapped the remaining people on the chest with his palm filled with internal force, and directly knocked the others out of the room.
In just a few breaths, there was no outsider in the room.
"Whoops..."
For a moment, there were screams outside the room.
Several men covered their chests in pain and looked at each other, their eyes full of fear.
They have messed with a tough guy who cannot be touched!
Thinking of this, several people struggled to get up from the ground and staggered towards the gate of the dilapidated temple. They walked very fast, as if there was a wild beast chasing them.
After waiting for a while and confirming that the group had left, Lin Shuyue and the other two sat down and continued to eat roasted sweet potatoes, as calmly as if the previous incident had never happened.
The rain didn't stop until late at night. During this time, a group of people came to the dilapidated temple. Judging from the noise, there must be quite a few people.
When the group saw the fire in this wing, they tactfully went to another wing.
The two groups spent the night in peace.
The morning after the rain is filled with the fragrance of soil and grass, and the air is so clear that it seems to cleanse the soul.
Lin Shuyue leaned against the door of the wing room and stretched her body. She took a deep breath of the moist and fresh air and looked up at the sky that had been cleansed by the night rain. The transparent blue was like spilled indigo paint, spreading from the corner of the eaves to the distance.
Well, it’s another sunny day today, so it seems we have to set off early.
After having a simple meal, the three of them packed up and left the room.
As soon as I stood outside the door of the wing, I saw the door of the wing opposite creak open, and I looked at the person opposite.
Hey, what a coincidence, the people living next door are Su Jinxiao, his servant A Sheng, and his five guards.
After all, they had met each other twice, so Lin Shuyue nodded politely to Su Jinxiao. Su Jinxiao yawned and nodded back in confusion.
After Lin Shuyue and the other two disappeared through the small door leading to the main hall in front, Su Jinxiao looked at Ah Sheng in confusion, "Ah Sheng, do I know them?"
Ah Sheng frowned and thought hard, then shook his head, "I don't think he knows me."
"Hey, useless thing."
Su Jinxiao cursed with a smile and walked towards the main hall.
As soon as Lin Shuyue and the other two got on the carriage, they saw Su Jinxiao and others' carriage following closely. It seemed that they also wanted to travel while the sun was not too high.
So, the two groups of people, without saying a word to each other, walked one after the other on this mountain road, which was inexplicably harmonious.
The mountain forest after the rain is shrouded in mist and looks lush and green. It is stunning at first glance, but it becomes boring after seeing it for a long time.
Su Jinxiao leaned against the cushion of the carriage, playing with the jade pendant on his waist boredly, his fingertips moving it and yawning several times.
