Chapter four hundred and sixty-eight children

Yizimei simply pushed all the wine gourds and gave them to Lu Rou to drink. He turned his head and looked at Ye Hancheng, and said angrily: "What is this Taoist priest? Brother, can I beat him up next time I meet?"

He couldn't stand this self-righteous guy very much. He felt itchy when he saw it, thinking in his heart that if he met next time, he would definitely revenge the revenge he was fooled this time!

It’s a pity that this idea was stopped by Ye Hancheng as soon as it arose.

"The overall situation is important now, don't mess around." Ye Hancheng stood up and looked at them, and said in a calm tone, "When Master Tian goes to the Wang family tomorrow, we must also conduct a secret investigation. We must not take it lightly and miss any clues."

"Okay..." Yizimei felt a little regretful, looked up at Lu Rou and others as they were drinking the wine in the gourd, and looked a little sad, so she turned her head and stopped looking.

On the other side, after leaving the Wen family, Taoist Tian looked up at the still cold moonlight. He was used to it, and his palms subconsciously passed through his waist but touched it in vain. He was stunned and smiled, remembering that the wine gourd he had just left was thrown into the room.

I thought of the rough man with unique eyebrows just now, and I guess the little tricks I set up should make the other party very frustrated...

It would be a different kind of fun to tease others occasionally.

Since there was no wine, there was no leisure and elegance to drink alone with the moon. He simply turned over and jumped off the wall and walked alone on the dark and deserted street.

The cold wind came towards him, which made him feel a little cool even though he protected his body. He looked up and saw that there were several lanterns emitting pale lights scattered under the eaves around the sides, and the range that could be illuminated was extremely limited.

The intermittent sobs and knocks of the woman from afar, which vaguely came from somewhere, adding a bit of gloomy atmosphere.

It is probably because of the famine here that it seems so desolate. Thanks to the Wen family's disaster relief activities during this period, it has at least been alleviated, otherwise it may be a bit worse than what we see now.

However, in the late night like this, ordinary people dare not sway around outside. On the one hand, they are afraid of ghosts that exist in the shadows, and on the other hand, they are afraid of similar people.

After all, in this chaotic world, sometimes people's hearts are more terrifying than ghosts!

At this time, I'm afraid only a person like Taoist Tian, ​​who is skilled and brave, will walk here alone. I wonder if there will be a pair of hidden eyes behind the lightly hidden windows in the pavilions on both sides looking at him secretly?

While thinking about it casually, Taoist Tian accidentally looked into the distance and saw that there were lights on the other end of the street market. Although it was not very bright, it was still very conspicuous in this dark night.

"That's..." He was stunned, narrowed his eyes and looked at it for a moment, but he couldn't see anything. After thinking about it, he continued to walk forward.

"Anyway, I'm still idle now, so why not go there and take a look."

After all, this Peishan is quite interesting, and there are always unexpected things happening.

After walking for a while, he could finally see the true face of the place that was still so conspicuous in this darkness.

Unexpectedly, it was a Dragon King Temple!

The storefront itself is actually not big, even a little narrow. After all, it is located in a town, and with the current atmosphere of peace and stability, it is actually not necessarily very popular with the immortals and gods. The original Dragon King Temple gradually showed signs of abandonment. It was not until this abrupt drought and famine began to come that some changes gradually occurred.

Now this place has obviously been repaired, with the wide wooden door dyed bright red, and even two red lanterns hanging next to the door plaque, which seems to be a bit festive and uneven with the disaster here.

The door was half-closed at this moment, as if it was still welcoming the pilgrims. Through the door, you could smell the fragrance of candlelight from inside, and you could vaguely hear some subtle sounds, and there should be someone inside.

Taoist Tian stepped in, but unexpectedly saw that there were several half-year-old children surrounding the altar in front of the statue. The clothes on his body were a little torn and dirty, and he was busy as if he was holding something from the altar.

The strange sound I heard just now was made by the sneaky actions of these children.

He could see it at a glance, and his face became a little strange.

I thought there was something strange, but these children were... stealing sacrifices to eat? It was really beyond his expectations.

At this time, one of the larger ones of the children could hear in a very low voice while stealing something: "Speak quietly... If we wake up that old man, we will have nothing to eat!"

Hearing this, Taoist Tian noticed that there was a small bed made of hanging rattan in the shadow of the candlelight on the side. An old white-haired man was sleeping there with his back facing everyone, as if he was snoring, and he was sleeping soundly, even the tip of his beard was trembling slightly.

The children next to them were headed by the older child. After hearing this, they nodded one after another, and while tucking the pastries into their pockets more quickly, they also looked around and cautiously.

As a result, when one of the little girls turned around, they saw Taoist priest Tian who was watching them with great pleasure after turning their heads behind him. He couldn't help but be stunned and opened his mouth wide. The movements in his hands stopped immediately, as if he didn't know what to react, and he looked a little panicked and scared.

The child next to him hadn't realized what was going on. Seeing that she was stunned for some reason, he pushed her with his elbow and urged in a low voice: "What are you doing when you stand there? Hurry up! If someone finds out, it's over!"

"But...but," the little girl turned around and muttered in a little aggrievedly, "It seems that we have been discovered by others! You turn your head and look first..."

"What?"

The children were stunned at the same time, turned their heads stiffly, and they just met the sight of Taoist priest Tian looking over, and their faces changed.

"No, we were discovered..."

"When did this person come in? Why didn't he have any sound?"

"No, the question is what we do now? We were found to steal the Dragon Prince's offerings and were beaten to death by those adults!"

They were talking in fear, and were also worried that they would make a sound to wake up the old man guarding the Dragon King Temple next to them.

The older child gritted his teeth, looked around, suddenly rushed forward and hugged Taoist Tian with his hands, intending to make him unable to move for the time being, and immediately shouted: "You guys go quickly! I'll hold him!"
