Night mountain forest.
Wang Jin and Mei Niang were walking with umbrellas, and the moonlight shone on the oil-paper umbrellas, reflecting their faces as warm as jade.
Mountain streams gurgled, frogs and birds chirped, and the air was filled with the fragrance of earth.
After walking forward for dozens of steps, we suddenly arrived at the familiar orange grove.
"Mei Niang, do you want to pick some more?" Wang Jin said with a smile. He took this road when he came, so he had to pass through the orange grove when he returned.
As soon as he asked this question, Wang Jin suddenly saw a figure in the orange grove.
It was a middle-aged man, probably in his forties or fifties, with gray hair. He was pacing back and forth in the orange grove with his hands behind his back, observing the growth of the orange trees.
The middle-aged man heard the noise and turned his head from the orange grove.
The next moment he saw Wang Jin and Mei Niang, he was shocked... Such a handsome young man, such a beautiful woman, especially their unearthly aura, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were a couple of gods.
"Is there anyone here at this late hour?" The middle-aged man looked surprised.
"Are you a farmer in this orange grove?" At this time, the young man's clean voice came from a distance.
The middle-aged man nodded, "Yes."
"I'm sorry, I read some of your sentences without your consent." Wang Jin walked over with a smile, "I didn't expect that this orange grove has an owner."
He thought of modern people's greetings and said again: "Hello, I ate some of your oranges and transferred money to you. What is your QR code?"
"That's it." The middle-aged man was stunned, but he didn't expect Wang Jin to be so sincere, "Scan this..."
He didn't hesitate, took out his mobile phone and called up the QR code.
"How many have you eaten?" the middle-aged man asked curiously.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a 'ding' sound, and the sound of a transfer arriving came from his mobile phone.
Wang Jin smiled and said, "I've transferred the money. Let's go first."
The middle-aged man was stunned. He didn't expect Wang Jin to be so cheerful. He immediately lowered his head subconsciously.
One, ten, hundreds, thousands...
"What the hell?!"
He was shocked by the transfer. How many oranges had he eaten? A full three thousand yuan was actually transferred!
At this time, the middle-aged man saw Wang Jin stop again and turned to look at him, "That's right, uncle."
"What's wrong?"
"Uncle, some of your oranges are sour...some are very sweet. Is it because there is not enough light? But overall they are still very good." Wang Jin smiled and gave a fair evaluation.
The middle-aged man was stunned. He also knew the situation of his own oranges... What Wang Jin said was indeed correct.
After Wang Jin finished speaking, he turned around and left without stopping.
Mei Niang held Wang Jin's arm and never looked at the middle-aged man. Her eyes always stayed on Wang Jin, holding an umbrella for Wang Jin.
It wasn't until Wang Jin and Mei Niang disappeared that the middle-aged man came back to his senses and shook his head slightly, "What are you doing with your umbrella at night?"
Somehow, the middle-aged man always felt that the middle-aged man felt a little weird, but he couldn't explain it carefully.
He didn't hesitate much and continued to inspect the orange grove and observe the growth of the orange trees.
At this moment, the wind suddenly started blowing in the forest. The middle-aged man stopped and felt the surroundings getting colder. He looked up at the sky, and small raindrops fell on his cheeks.
"Hey, it's going to rain... Did they know it was going to rain in advance, so they held an umbrella?" The middle-aged man was surprised and subconsciously looked in the direction Wang Jin left.
But there was only the rich darkness of night in the mountains and forests, and the couple was nowhere to be seen again...
…
Earth Temple.
By the time Wang Jin and Mei Niang walked over slowly, the temple fair had ended, and even the door of the Earth Temple was closed.
When Wang Jin walked to the door of Tutu Temple, the temple door opened by itself!
Although no one was there, the door seemed to be pushed open by an invisible force, as if to welcome Wang Jin's arrival.
In fact, there is indeed a 'person' welcoming you, but this figure is invisible to mortals!
"Wang Shenxian is back."
The Earth God stood at the door of the hall with his hands folded up and his sleeves, smiling. The next moment he saw Mei Niang holding an umbrella for Wang Jin, he couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately took the initiative to salute.
"I've seen the Charming Ghost King."
"It doesn't have to be like this." Mei Niang didn't care.
"need."
The landowner laughed and gave some tributes to Wang Jin, "I have to go out."
"Where are you going?" Wang Jin nodded and took the tribute.
The tributes this time were mostly fruits, which were suitable for eating at night.
"I'll deliver it to the City God." The Earth God pointed at the other tributes that were not given to Wang Jin and said with a chuckle.
"Go ahead."
Wang Jin smiled solemnly and looked around at the empty surroundings, "Where are the temple guards in the temple?"
There are usually one or two people living in the temple. They are usually retired old people, members of the temple fair, or even the organizers of the temple fair. They live in the temple and guard the temple in disguise to prevent people from sneaking in and causing trouble. .
This kind of situation is not uncommon in the south. There are many temples in the south. In many places, there is even one temple per village. If it is an ordinary small temple, it is normal for no one to guard it. However, in large temples, there are usually one or two people living in them. Some temple fairs even have We will pay wages to the retired people who stay in the temple, and they can earn two to three thousand a month.
Wang Jin knew this, not because he knew much about modern times, but because he had talked with the Tu Tu Gong a few days ago, and the Tu Tu Gong at that time talked about it.
"His grandson is one month old today. He has gone back to spend time with his grandson on vacation. He won't be in the temple these days." Tudigong said with a smile.
"It seems that when I come here, I will be a temple guardian for you." Wang Jin also smiled.
The Earth God was so happy that his beard stood up, "Haha, I have the Immortal Wang guarding the temple for me, so I have to brag to the City God."
After saying this, the Earth God left in a hurry, not knowing whether to get delicious tributes to the City God or to brag.
…
Soon, night falls, and the sky and earth are completely taken over by night.
Wang Jin came to the center of the temple, raised his hand, and a simple bed appeared out of thin air in the open space.
He put on his pajamas and lay down. Mei Niang also smiled and floated up on the bed, lying in Wang Jin's arms.
Wang Jin put one hand on the back of his head and looked up at the stars.
"There are mosquitoes." Wang Jin saw the mosquitoes passing by and raised his hand to pinch one.
Seeing this, Mei Niang blew the mosquitoes away from Wang Jin's hand with a gentle blow, and said with a smile, "There won't be any more now."
The breath she exhaled was still lingering, isolating the mosquitoes around her, and carried a faint fragrance of orchid.
Exhaling like a blue orchid, that’s probably what they say, the ancients honestly didn’t deceive me!
Wang Jin looked up at the stars, enjoying a moment of tenderness and feeling the beautiful quiet time between the two of them.
After a while, Wang Jin suddenly thought of something, and a box suddenly appeared in his hand.
This box is exactly the gift given by the three people from Longhushan, another gift besides the 'elixir'!
"I almost forgot about this." Mei Niang said with a smile.
"Yeah, when I was looking at the moon, I suddenly thought of it, and I felt like I had forgotten something." Wang Jin also smiled.
