Qingyan jumped off the donkey cart, drove the cart inside, and rushed to the eaves on the other side of the temple gate, so that when those people came over, they would not have to pass by her donkey cart.
According to human nature, when passing by a donkey cart, she would definitely not be able to help but take a look inside. Although the plastic sheet sandwiched in the middle was more tightly covered, she was also afraid that the naughty child would have a hand, and she would not be able to take a look if she lifted it up. Just saw it.
Moreover, this little donkey is actually quite impatient. If it wasn't suppressed by Chou Chou, it wouldn't be so honest. If too many people make it agitated, it would be bad if it kicks someone. If the kick is broken, you won't be able to compensate for it. , it’s better to do less than to do more.
As for why Qingyan decided that those people would come in to rest, it was of course because those people looked very embarrassed and were soaked by the rain just now. With such a place, they would definitely come in to repair it. Fan's.
At least he would make a fire and dry his clothes.
Qingyan was a little confused. The fire inside was probably not only used for lighting at night. It was also possible that it was used to rest after being caught in the rain.
I thought about it quite happily, is it because the Dragon King Temple has been moved and the rain no longer falls here? This is the Dragon King Temple. The Dragon King is not around, and the rainwater has gone around. So, this temple is quite good.
Qingyan entered the temple while thinking about it, and said to Xue Minghua: "There is a group of people coming here. They look like the group of villagers who have met before to rest in the shade. There are quite a few people. Let's go to the car." Take a rest, or just here?"
She was afraid that Xue Minghua would not want to face outsiders, so she asked in advance. Anyway, most of it was blocked by the eaves, so it should be fine in the car if it rained.
Xue Minghua looked at the sky outside through the open temple door. It was now very cloudy, as if it was going to be dark soon, and there was a flash of lightning, followed by the rumble of thunder.
"Let's stay in this room. It won't rain much this way. Why don't we bring the quilt in too? It'll be hard to dry if it gets wet."
Qingyan thought for a moment and nodded. She knew there was plastic sheeting, but Xue Minghua didn't. It was normal to worry about the quilt.
The thunder was quite loud, and it seemed like it was going to rain heavily, so I might as well bring it in for insurance.
Qingyan went out and untied the square basket at the back of the car, folded the quilt and stuffed it in. Then she asked ChouChou to make another smaller basket and put the pottery bowls in it later. Just come inside.
Fulai saw her coming in with two baskets and hurriedly came over to help. Qingyan handed him the small basket. There were a few commonly used things in this unsinkable basket, including the flint and steel condiments that Chou Chou put in, just in case. There is no need to take it out again when you need it later.
It was a coincidence that as soon as the things were brought in, it started raining outside, and soon it turned into a gurgling sound, and the leaky place in the house began to drip.
Xue Minghua frowned and looked outside, "It's raining so hard, I'm afraid those people you mentioned will get wet. They must come in and light a fire to dry their clothes. This temple is not big, and there is a leak on one side. I don't know if they can stay there." Down."
She was thinking in her mind whether she should go to the donkey cart and wait for the rain to subside before leaving as Qingyan had just said.
After a while, a group of strangers would come in. She didn't know whether they were good people or bad people. She didn't care. Anyway, they had no money and no sex. At first glance, they looked like middle-aged MILFs. She was afraid that they would be unfavorable to Qingyan. After all, Qingyan was tall. She is so pretty, and at first glance she looks like a young lady who doesn’t understand the world.
Although she knew that Qingyan was really strong and could pick up Chen Jiawong and her mother-in-law at once, but as the saying goes, it is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands. There were so many opponents, and it would be very dangerous if they were not good people.
What's more, she can't help at all, she's just a drag, and there are two children who can't run away even if they want to.
Seeing that she was frowning and not knowing what she was thinking, Qingyan looked for a topic and said, "Those people I just saw are probably coming soon. Let's move to the side. There are at least thirty people in that group. I'm afraid I can only stand, and I definitely won’t be able to sit down.”
This temple is only about 40 to 50 square meters. It is okay for a dozen or so people, but when more than thirty people suddenly squeeze in, you can imagine the situation.
Xue Minghua nodded and stood up with strength on the crutches. Qingyan moved the wooden board to the corner on the right rear, packed up the things and put them in the basket, placed them next to the corner, picked up the little leopard, wiped its paws and put it in In the satchel.
As soon as the four people, two large and two young, were seated, the sound of many people running could be heard outside. The sound was so loud that it overwhelmed the thunderstorm outside, which showed that there were really many people there.
I heard someone shouting: "Hurry, hurry, there is a temple here! Let's go in first to take shelter from the rain."
"But there is a donkey cart there, and there should be people inside."
"What are people afraid of? This doesn't belong to anyone. It looks like an abandoned temple. Everyone can enter."
"That's it, come on, come on, stop talking nonsense, come in quickly, I'm almost drowned!"
Immediately afterwards, three young women who were soaked with water ran in. They looked about the same age as Qingyan. They must have worked in the fields all year round, and their exposed skin was all dark.
After coming in, he saw that there were only two women and two children inside. He turned around and shouted outside: "Father! Mother! Uncle! Auntie! Come in quickly, there are not many people inside, let's all come in and squeeze in."
Qingyan and Xue Minghua were sitting outside, squeezing Fulai and Huan'er between the basket and the basket. This corner was empty before, not the corner where hay and firewood were placed. They didn't get wet and didn't need to To light a fire, I left the dry wood and hay to others.
Afterwards, many more people came in one after another, including men and women, old and young. Qingyan took a look and found among them the women who had been staring at her before. She confirmed that they were indeed resting on the roadside before. of that group of people.
After that, three more people came in. They didn't seem to be with them, mainly because their clothes and temperaments were very different.
Two of the men are relatively tall for this era. They should be about 1.8 meters tall. They have very ordinary looks. They are the kind of looks that you can't pick out in a crowd. If it weren't for their outstanding height, they would really be very tall. Hard to notice.
There was another one who was very short, only about 1.5 meters tall. He was walking in front of the two tall men and should be their master.
Although the skin of the two people was also dark, their walking posture did not look like villagers at all. They should be guards.
It's not that Qingyan's eyes are so good, but the way those two people walk makes them look like Lian Jiazi.
Because she also practices boxing, she usually observes people's walking postures and expressions, so she can tell them at a glance.
The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, were guarding the little man in a protective posture. They were obviously the opponent's subordinates.
Qingyan could also tell that the little one was a woman disguised as a man. The reason why she could tell was not because she was wearing men's clothes like in the TV series, so she thought she was disguised as a man.
This woman actually looks quite similar. She looks like Xue Minghua, with some edges and corners, and a very flat figure. She is no different from a thin boy.
Although the skin is relatively white, it is not the kind that is white and tender, but the kind that is a little yellow, which makes him look more like a sickly young man.
As for what later generations will say about Adam's apple, please, if you are young, a teenager like Fulai, it is normal for you not to have an Adam's apple at all.
What really betrayed her true identity was the clothes that were soaked by the rain and stuck to her body.
This weather is really unfriendly to her. No matter how flat a woman is, as long as she reaches the growth stage, the clothes on her body are different from those of men. Even if it is not obvious, you can still see it.
Another thing is that the rain is really heavy. Everyone is soaked. You can basically tell it...
So, this is really God's fault. The other party obviously hasn't realized his image yet, so he didn't cover it up.
As for the villagers who came in with them, they were busy looking for a place to stay as soon as they entered the house, and they didn't pay attention to others. Moreover, they were all wet and uncomfortable. Who was in the mood to look at others.
That is to say, because of her position, Qingyan looked at everyone who came in one by one, so she could see them at a glance.
These three people must have joined these villagers later. Although their clothes were also coarse, they were not patched. The shoes on their feet were cloth shoes, unlike the villagers' straw sandals.
The other party may have sensed Qingyan's gaze and looked towards her.
Qingyan didn't dodge, she nodded to the other party generously, and looked back very naturally.
When she turned around, she met Xue Minghua's eyes. Apparently she had noticed just now, and she pursed her lips and winked at Qingyan.
Qingyan also winked and smiled at her.
The little girl disguised as a man obviously also reacted, and directly put the baggage on her back in front of her chest, which could cover it to some extent.
Everyone in the room was squeezing out their clothes, and soon the ground was wet. Now there was no dry place to sit.
It was raining so hard that they still had two trips, and the clothes in the bag were all wet, so it didn't make any difference whether they changed or not.
Fortunately, it was a hot day. Even if it was raining outside, the temperature was still in the 30s. It was estimated that the rainwater would be warm on the body. At least none of the group of people, including the children, shivered from the cold.
However, it is not good to wear wet clothes on the body, it is still easy to cause wind chill, but everyone can't make a fire to warm the clothes.
There were too many people, so it was not easy to find a free space. The house was not big, and one side was still leaking. It would be okay if there was no leaking on that side. At least a small space could be squeezed out in the middle.
The two tall men looked up and looked at the location of the leak on the roof. In fact, it was not that big, just two holes as big as the mouth of a bowl. They probably looked like two missing tiles.
The two of them observed for a while, one of them whispered a few words to another man next to him, then whispered to the little girl dressed as a man and went out.
Of course, all this cannot escape Qingyan's ears. Even though there are so many people inside, including adults complaining and children snoring, you can still hear it as long as you listen carefully.
The man said he would go up and have a look, and if possible, he would make up for it, and asked him to protect the young lady.
Qingyan raised her eyebrows in surprise. It seemed that that person must have the legendary Qing Gong. There was no ladder outside. It was not easy to get to the roof. At least she couldn't get up.
If you have qinggong, it's not necessarily the case. Like those on TV, you can jump up the wall with a single jump.
I wonder if this person has that kind of qinggong? She had been envious when watching TV before. Although their Wanxiang boxing method was very powerful, it could develop inner strength, break stones with bare hands, and be ever-changing when fighting with people, making them soft and strong, but it would not make their body light and light. That kind of flying over the wall effect.
That Qing Gong should be a specialized skill. I don’t know if it can be found in ancient times. If it does exist, I really want to learn it.
Then I thought about my lack of time and felt a little tired.
At this time, I heard movement from the roof. The movement was not small. Others heard it, looked up, and started talking quietly.
Sure enough, that person should have Qinggong!
Qingyan's eyes suddenly brightened up. When she got back, she would discuss it with Chou Chou and let Tai find a way to come here again. Then she would go to a martial arts sect to learn kung fu, or look for where to buy it. This kind of martial arts secret book.
But the chance is not too high. After all, people in ancient times pay attention to inheritance, and generally do not sell their own secret books to takeaways. Those sold are either commercial products or fake. Really advanced kung fu will not only not be passed on to outsiders, but also passed down to men. If you don’t tell women what they say, it would be too much for you to learn it yourself.
Just as she was thinking about it, she felt that the sound of dripping water in the water tank suddenly disappeared. Qingyan looked up and saw that the two holes had been blocked. From the sound, the tiles from the eaves next to it should have been moved here. Covered on it.
Just now she thought that this person was going to plug that hole with thatch or something. He was much smarter than her. Although it felt a bit like demolishing the east wall to mend the west wall, it didn't really matter whether there were tiles on the eaves. As long as the Just block it here.
There is no rain leaking inside the house. Although the ground is a little wet, it doesn't matter.
Others hurried over, lifted up the bottom of the broken vat and put it outside the door. There was no way, there were too many people, and the bottom of the broken vat was quite big, and it really took up space in the house.
Fortunately, the bottom of the tank was big enough, and it had caught a lot of water before. The ground next to it was covered with some of the splashes when water dripped from it. It was not very wet, and has now seeped into the soil.
Everyone moved in that direction, leaving a relatively spacious place for the three of them. After all, people were repairing the roof, so they had to leave it for them. That was a bit unjustifiable.
After a while, the man who repaired the roof came back. His clothes were even wetter. Seeing that he had left a place for himself, he squeezed the water from his clothes at the door before entering.
