Trivia 2: First meeting

That year, the wind and snow traveled at night.

The snow is flying, the road ahead is long, the road has been out of sight, tossing and turning, finally saw a temple, in front of the difficult trek, look up, it should be a land temple.

It looks very shabby, and there is no incense.

In these years, people can't live anymore, so what about the money left over to worship these immortals?

Pushing open the half-opened temple door, stepping on the snow that barely reached his legs and necks, the snow in the sky was still falling, and it had not stopped for a moment, and the snow had been falling for a whole day.

Enter the main hall.

I found that the doors and windows around were already dilapidated, and the wind was leaking everywhere, and the roof beams of the main hall made a "creaking" sound in the cold wind, as if it might collapse at any time.

In the middle of the hall is enshrined is the clay sculpture of the land father-in-law and the land mother-in-law, because it has fallen into disrepair, the statue is amiable, but it has collapsed a little half.

The wind and snow were blown in and fell to the ground, although it was much thinner than the outside, but there was still such a shallow layer.

Chen Miao looked around and found that there was no snow on the ground in the southwest corner of the main hall, and the wall could still block the wind.

Tonight can only make do, but fortunately he has some dry food in his backpack, and he will find a crockpot later, boil some hot water, and fill his stomach.

Although this land temple is broken, it should not be difficult to find a clay pot to hold things.

Clear out a corner of the wall.

I found some hay, sat directly on the ground, it was too cold, and found a clay pot with missing ears, and washed it inside and out with the snow water that melted to make sure that there was no special smell, so I used the clay pot to fill a jar full of clean snow and came back.

Prop up the shelf and hang the clay pot on the shelf.

With fire.

Suddenly, I could feel the temperature in the main hall rising.

Rubbing his hands, which were already numb from the cold, Chen Miao asked him to take out two steamed buns that were frozen like stones from his baggage, as well as some jerky.

The jerky went down the clay pot first.

In about ten minutes, there was a smell of meat in the hall, and Chen Miao's unassuming stomach immediately "gurgled".

The jerky is a little dry, and you have to cook it for a while, otherwise you still can't chew it.

The water in the clay pot is tumbling, stirring the jerky, the fragrance is getting stronger and stronger, Chen Miao also roasted the frozen steamed buns on the fire, and the aroma of the roasted steamed buns is mixed with the aroma of the meat, which is extremely tempting!

The steamed buns are cooked, and the jerky soup is almost ready.

Chen Miao reached out and tore open a layer of steamed bread, threw it into his mouth and chewed it, just as he picked up the spoon he carried with him and was about to scoop a mouthful of broth from the crockpot and prepare to drink it, he suddenly heard a movement under the seat of Sumeru, who enshrined the father-in-law of the land and the mother-in-law of the land, in the main hall.

Mouse?

Among the ruined temples, this kind of creature is extremely common, and even they can be regarded as the owners here, and most of the people's offerings have entered the belly of these guys.

If no one takes care of it, it will definitely be a flood.

But looking at the dusty offering table, I am afraid that no one has come here for a long time to offer incense, and if the rats go elsewhere to find food, they will only starve to death.

Maybe there are one or two lovers who refuse to leave.

"I'm sorry, it's your new arrival, I'll just stay for one night and leave!" Chen Miao said with a fist in the direction of Sumeru, and then drank a mouthful of broth, and a warm current instantly flowed to the limbs, and the frozen limbs instantly had a swollen reaction.

Comfortable!

Da Da ......

"Brother Rat, if you want to come and eat with me, then come here." Chen Miao smiled and couldn't help teasing.

Knock Knock......

No, the sound is very regular, not like a rat, but like a human hand striking something.

Chen Miao stood up with suspicion, listened carefully a little, and the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he felt, and slowly walked towards Sumeru.

The sound came from inside the Sumeru seat.

"Forgiveness!" Chen Miao confessed, climbed up the Sumeru seat from the offering table, and glanced at the half-collapsed clay sculpture land.

He couldn't see anything in the dark, and when he came back, he took a torch and came back to illuminate it, and this time he saw a man curled up in the empty stomach under the clay statue.

There was a person pressed under the fragments of the mud tire, and on closer inspection, it seemed that he was still wearing single clothes, barefoot, and very thin, and he should be a child.

Saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter.

Regardless of whether the person is dead or alive, save the person first.

Chen Miao avoided those sharp edges and corners, and went down from the collapsed entrance, lightly, for fear of causing a bigger collapse, and burying both of them in it when the time came.

It's really a child, dirty, skinny, and his clothes are tattered, so he should be a little beggar based on his identity.

Chen Miao sighed, stretched out his hand to probe his nose, it seemed that there was still some, and then reached out and touched his chest, which was slightly hot, and touched his pulse again.

And the beating!

Chen Miao did not hesitate at all, and decided to save people, if he didn't save it, this child would definitely not survive tonight, but if he made a move, maybe there was still hope of surviving.

A little boy about eight years old, with a look of less than thirty pounds, Chen Miao carried him up from below with one hand.

There is no good way.

Chen Miao could only move him to the fire, put it on the licorice, and then took out a set of his own long coat from the baggage, put it on for him first, and then used snow balls to wipe his palms and feet for him constantly.

Wait until his body temperature has risen slightly, scrub his face and body with warm water, and finally, find a set of his own old inside. and put it on him.

It looks like a little monkey wearing adult clothes, and it looks very funny.

However, the injuries on this little boy's body made Chen Miao feel extremely surprised, such a young child, he didn't wash, and there were hundreds of adult old injuries, and there were seven or eight new injuries, which should have been caused by falling under the hole of the ground statue.

Chen Miao fed him a broth mixed with steamed bread batter again, and then, there was only a limit to what he could do, and the rest depended on whether his life was hard or not.

An hour, two hours......

After waiting for four hours, Chen Miao heard a slight "groan. groan".

The little guy actually moved.

Chen Miao was also very excited, got up with a bone, and looked at the little guy who opened his eyes, what a stubborn and fragile look.

"You saved me, and I will repay you."

"No, it's your luck, your life is hard, God won't accept you." Chen Miao smiled, "Hungry, get up and eat something first." ”

Chen Miao deliberately boiled a crockpot of meat paste.

These were all the dry food he had left, and he was gone when he was done.

"Eat slowly, you just relieved your breath, you can't eat too much......" Looking at the little man's gobbling up, Chen Miao reminded.

The little boy suddenly put down the crockpot and knelt down with Chen Miao: "Mr. Dag, I will definitely make a grass ring in the next seven days to repay the great kindness." ”

"Your name is Xiao Qi?"

"Yes, I'm seventh in my family."

"Get up, meeting is fate, don't mention the matter of repaying the favor, my name is Chen Miao, you can call me Sanshui, or you can call me the third brother." Chen Miao had never seen such a polite little beggar.

"Third brother."
