"Oh, what kind of place is this? There's no shelter from the rain. We might as well be in a carriage!"
Two men and two women entered the temple one after another. One of them, a charming-looking woman, looked around and complained.
When she saw Zhu Yuanyu and the others, her eyes suddenly lit up. She walked over with an umbrella, swaying her body left and right. The middle-aged man standing behind her stared at her with a squinting look, as if his soul had been taken away. .
The charming woman smiled slightly, looked at Zhu Yuanyu and said, "Master, you are the only one in the deserted temple that has no rain. Can you give me a piece of land so that the slave family can take a rest?"
Zhu Yuanyu didn't speak, but Cui'er stood up, blocking the woman from moving forward, and said dissatisfied: "Didn't you say it's better to be in the carriage? Then go to the carriage! The place here is small, and we are crowded even when we are sitting. Where is the land left for you?"
This woman doesn't look like a serious person at first glance, but she can't be allowed to get close to the young master. Who knows what her intentions are? Cuier said silently in her heart, her petite body blocking the woman's face.
Normal people would have a little bit of annoyance on their faces when they were driven away so unceremoniously, but this charming woman didn't have any of it at all. She still kept her smile, but she didn't even look at Cui'er and looked at Zhu Yuanyu quietly. , seems to have decided that he is the one who can make the decision.
The charming woman was half a head taller than Tweety, so even though Tweety could block her body, she could not block her sight.
Cui'er also noticed it, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but didn't know what to do. She could only hold her position and prevent the enemy from taking a step forward.
"Hey, what are you talking about, girl! Did you build this temple or something? Why don't people take shelter from the rain?"
A beautiful woman pointed at Cui'er with an angry look on her face.
"Xiaowei, don't be rude!" the charming woman turned her head and said, then turned back and looked at Zhu Yuanyu with a smile.
The middle-aged man behind him also seemed to have come to his senses. He walked forward, looked at Zhu Yuanyu and the others, and then said kindly to Cui'er: "Little girl, it's fate that we all meet by chance. Why are you so angry! Look at this place. It’s still enough, why don’t everyone just squeeze in a little bit more!”
After saying that, he deliberately continued to move forward, completely ignoring the defenses of men and women.
Cui'er didn't expect someone to be so shameless. In order to avoid the middle-aged man and prevent him from approaching her, she had to retreat.
The middle-aged man smiled proudly, glanced at Cui'er sideways, put his arms around the charming woman's waist and was about to step forward.
Silver light flashed, and a sharp sword was placed in front of the middle-aged man.
Qi Ao glanced at him coldly, holding the hilt of the sword firmly with his hand, not feeling at all how dangerous his behavior was to others at this moment.
The middle-aged man was startled, glanced down, and his face turned earthy.
"This, this little brother... has something to say... something to say carefully... Swords have no eyes!" He swallowed and continued: "I'm so tired standing... Why don't we all sit down... ... Let’s have a good talk together?”
Compared to the frightened middle-aged man, the seductive woman beside him who has always remained calm is worth pondering.
From the moment she stepped into the deserted temple, Zhu Yuanyu felt that the atmosphere around her had changed, but she couldn't tell what was wrong for a while, so she had to put it aside for the time being and pay attention to her movements.
Seeing that things were a bit tense at this time, Zhu Yuanyu had to speak out——
"Put the sword down."
Qi Ao gave the middle-aged man another cold look before obediently taking his sword back.
Zhu Yuanyu looked around and found that in this deserted temple, only the place where they were sitting was not leaking. However, he didn't want strangers to sleep in the place at night, so he had to smile apologetically at the middle-aged man, "This - Uncle? Uncle, right? You seem to be two rounds older than me, so it’s not an exaggeration for me to call you uncle. As you can see, uncle, I am the only one in this deserted temple that has no rain, but The ground is not big, just big enough for us to put our feet on, but it really can’t accommodate you... Just now I heard the sound of wheels, I guess you guys also came in a carriage, right? Why don’t you get on the carriage to take shelter from the rain? "
Zhu Yuanyu felt that the advice he provided was quite sincere, but others did not think so.
The middle-aged man opened his mouth to curse, but when he glanced at Qi Ao, he immediately remembered that he had just been threatened with a sword. This was someone he could not afford to offend. He immediately shut his mouth, turned around and left with a blue face. The charming woman seems to have forgotten.
The coachman, who had been watching the show for a long time, immediately caught up with him holding an umbrella, "Hey, sir, wait for me, slave—"
"Why don't you leave?"
Cui'er stared at the charming woman and the beautiful woman named Xiaowei.
The charming woman smiled sweetly and said: "Master, do you really want me to stay in such a carriage to hide from the rain? It's raining so hard. If I go out now, I will get wet. I only have this set of clothes~"
As soon as these words came out, even Li Zhuangzhuang couldn't listen anymore. He suddenly felt that the charming woman in front of him was really disgusting. Not only did she look seductive, but she also spoke in a coquettish and unpleasant tone. She was not a serious woman!
"Hey! I'm talking about you, you stinky bitch! Don't you understand people's words? My young master said it very clearly. You should stop talking about it. I'm tired of hearing it. ! I don’t know how to speak truth, and I don’t know how to say nice things. I just know that you are in my young master’s eyes! If you don’t get out, I will beat you up! I will still beat up annoying women! Do you believe it? Do not believe?"
Li Zhuangzhuang slowly stood up and waved his thick fist in front of him as a threat.
Having said that, that charming woman would be an idiot if she didn't know what to do.
He smiled nonchalantly, turned around in an enchanting way, held an umbrella as if strolling in the garden, and quickly disappeared through the temple gate.
The woman named Xiao Wei glanced at Zhu Yuanyu expressionlessly and left quickly.
After everyone was gone, Zhu Yuanyu began to educate Cui Er.
"Tui'er, don't be so impulsive next time. You, a young girl, come forward rashly. What if you meet a bad person with sinister intentions? Doesn't this put yourself in danger? I know you are eager to protect the Lord. , but your young master, am I a vegetarian? Besides, there are Qi Ao and Zhuang Zhuang here! Three grown men are not reduced to the point where they need a little girl to stand in front of them, right? Next time, you will stand up properly On the side, we can take care of those shameless people! Do you understand?"
Cui Er's nose felt sore and she almost shed tears - in her life, this was the first time someone cared about her so much, and this man was her own young master. She was almost moved to death.
After sniffing, Cui'er said in a low voice: "I know this... I won't do it next time... Young Master."
"Yes." Zhu Yuanyu nodded and yawned slightly. Feeling that his eyelids were a little heavy, he tilted his body and lay sideways on the blanket.
Seeing this, Qi Ao immediately stepped forward and knelt down, shook out the cloak prepared by Cui'er next to him and gently covered him.
Zhu Yuanyu raised his eyelids slightly, and when he saw it was Qi Ao, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"Zhuangzhuang, I'll be on duty in the first half of the night, and I'll call you in the second half of the night." Qi Ao said to Li Zhuangzhuang.
Li Zhuangzhuang didn't say anything after hearing this. He nodded and found a place to lean against and close his eyes.
Qi Ao looked at Cui'er.
Cui'er said: "Then I'll go to bed first, please."
"Um."
Cui'er smiled and followed Li Zhuangzhuang's example and found a place to lean on. She was probably sleepy and fell asleep quickly.
Qi Ao looked at the firewood, listened to the sound of rain, and thought quietly.
As I thought about it, I felt my eyelids were very heavy. I held on for a while, but I couldn't resist the onset of sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.
For a while, the only sound in the deserted temple was the crackling sound of firewood burning, and it seemed very quiet.
The rain was still falling, and the dilapidated temple door was wide open. Suddenly a figure appeared inside the door, quietly and motionless.
After a while, the figure finally moved.
Slowly extending to the corner where Zhu Yuanyu and the others were, the black shadow stretched out, like noodles, getting longer and thinner, looking extremely weird.
Just when the black shadow was still two meters away from Zhu Yuanyu and the others, a thin layer of blue light flashed out. As soon as the black shadow came into contact with the blue light, it immediately seemed to be burned, and quickly retracted and disappeared. not see.
Sure enough, activating the barrier talisman before going to bed was the right choice - Zhu Yuanyu drowsily praised his wit, and then finally fell asleep.
Originally, the scope of the barrier was intended to include the entire deserted temple, but then the arrival of those people disrupted his arrangement, so he finally reduced the barrier, otherwise the black shadow might not even be able to enter the deserted temple.
The next day.
Qi Ao said with an annoyed look on his face: "Why did you fall asleep? Obviously——"
Zhu Yuanyu squatted and teased his hair while saying casually: "It's all over. What are you worrying about? Clean up and let's continue on our way."
Qi Ao glanced at Zhu Yuanyu, not sure if it was his misunderstanding. He always felt that the other person seemed to know something.
Zhu Yuanyu looked up with a harmless smile, "What's wrong?"
Qi Ao shook his head and quickly shook his head, "It's nothing."
"That's good." Zhu Yuanyu stood up, clapped his hands, and greeted Mao Tou to walk out of the deserted temple.
There was only one of their carriages outside the deserted temple, but the two horses were gone.
Zhu Yuanyu asked in confusion: "Where did the horse go?"
Cui'er heard this and poked her head out from behind the car curtain, "Back to the young master, the horse was taken to graze by Zhuang Zhuang. He will be back later."
"Oh, that's right." Zhu Yuanyu nodded understandingly.
After feeding the horses, they continued on the road.
