In the human world, the sky gradually darkened as the dusk approached. When the dry wind blew away, it still felt like sand and gravel, and the temperature also dropped. However, an inconspicuous small temple in Guli Kingdom began to lively.
This place was originally considered to be incense, but since a thunderstorm fell from the sky a few decades ago, the Buddha statue in the temple was cut off at the waist, and the people were so worried that they stopped coming. Stay longer.
So over time, this small temple fell into ruin, and only occasionally some beggars or homeless vagrants stayed here.
But today is still a little different.
There are many people coming and going, and they are all young and strong men.
It's just that the clothes are ragged, and they are all dressed up as beggars.
"Hey, Lao San Lu is here too, what's the matter, I'm addicted to that girl's soup, why don't I have another bowl of it?"
The beggar surnamed Zhao took the broken stick in his hand and slapped Lao San Lu on the body and greeted him friendly.
The man being questioned looked ordinary, dirty, and had greasy hair knotted together, and he pulled out a cool smile with his mouth crooked.
"Oh, you are not the same? I have been living for so many years, and I haven't had such a delicious soup. I still don't need money. Why not!"
Old San Lu turned his head and found a corner to sit down.
The beggar surnamed Zhao narrowed his mouth.
"Cut, who knows if you came here because the girl who gave the soup was beautiful, but the soup is indeed delicious."
When the beggar surnamed Zhao mentioned the soup, a coveted expression flashed in his eyes very quickly, licked his dry lips, and then glanced at Lu San who was about to sit down, and leaned in too.
"It's just that this girl only comes here twice a month. Today is the eighth day of the month. The next time I drink it, it will be sixteen."
The beggar surnamed Zhao sat down and muttered.
"The Bodhisattva girl who gave the soup is heart-hearted, caring and caring for the homeless people like us. It's a joy to eat the bowl of hot soup and chew the glutinous rice noodles."
Lao San Lu couldn't help but recall the last time he ate.
"That's right, you said that those of us who are disgusted with wherever we go, that girl can still think of giving us something to eat, all the people from all over the country know her and come over to beg for food."
The beggar surnamed Zhao frowned at the crowd sitting next to him, and stretched out his hand to scratch the dead skin on his feet, pulling out pieces of tawny things.
Lu San didn't seem to care. The people here are all of this virtue, and the place where beggars come to freshen up is naturally different from those of high-ranking officials.
"There are more and more people in this meeting, and we have to hurry up to grab them in a while."
Lao San Lu whispered.
"I know, but is the girl late today, isn't it time to arrive at this time as usual?"
The beggar surnamed Zhao grabbed his feet and spoke without raising his head.
The sky outside gradually darkened, and there were several thunders in the faint distance, and the sound of the wind scream was also very stern, which caused the beggar who had been waiting in the temple for a long time to be a little impetuous without seeing people, and chatting. , Talking about whether the girl hates too many people and doesn't want to come to alms again, but after all, they don't miss a full meal, or they should wait patiently.
When the sky was completely dark, it was raining outside the temple.
The pouring rain poured down, the sound was terrifying, and there was another thunderstorm outside. When the lightning broke, the white light was terribly tight. The ruined temple was in disrepair for a long time, and the rain fell on the tiles. , Seeping from those holes, the temple is also wet, making the beggars inside even more angry.
"Oh, looking at this horrible weather, when can Gu Li get such rain!"
The beggar surnamed Zhao woke up, rolled over and scratched the itchy flesh on his buttocks.
"Wake up, it's quite late, it seems that the girl doesn't plan to come over, the rain is so heavy again."
Old San Lu glanced at the man beside him, showing a trace of disappointment, and said.
"Hey, I was blinded by Lao Tzu's kung fu, and came to this ruined temple specially."
The beggar surnamed Zhao spit, and his heart was annoyed. When he looked at the wet ground around him, he became even more upset. He simply got up and planned to move somewhere.
There was a lot of noise in the temple, and the beggars waited for a long time before they arrived, and when they encountered this rainy day, they became more irritable.
When this was about to leave here in the rain, a faint light appeared at the entrance of the temple.
The orange light came from a distance, seeming to be a hand-held lamp, burning in the rain curtain, drifting faintly.
There is also the sound of wheels running over the sand.
Seeing this lamp, the hope of the people in the temple was aroused again.
"Look, is the female bodhisattva here!"
Someone shouted excitedly.
For a while, everyone's eyes were focused on the lamp, and when people gradually walked in, they could see that it was a figure of a woman, holding an umbrella, holding a leather stitched lamp in her hand, her figure exquisite and elegant. , I just don't know what my face looks like while covering my face.
"You have been waiting for a long time. Today I have something to delay, and it rains again. It is so late. I am going to apologize to you!"
The woman stood in the rain holding an umbrella, her voice apologetic.
"How can it be! The Bodhisattva deliberately prepares these things for us, it is enough hard work, we who are mixed eating and waiting to die, where there is still the ability to make you apologize!"
A beggar came out, said with a pleasing smile on his face, and his eyes directly looked at the car of the woman, flashing a greedy light.
"Yes, yes, I can't afford it, I can't afford it!"
Someone in the crowd echoed.
"You are polite, the little girl is all about the Buddha, just doing good deeds without asking for anything in return. It is a blessing to be able to give you a full meal and thank you all. Don't say it, you are afraid that you are starving."
The woman turned to the two men in the trailer and said.
"Hurry up, let's divide the things in the car. Everyone, as usual today is the soup and some noodles. I hope you all have a good time."
After giving the instructions, the woman stepped aside, and the two men behind pushed the car into the temple. Before the thick cloth was lifted, the fresh scent of broth mixed with the aroma of wheat circulated in the small temple. It made these hungry beggar greedy insects climb up too, like a wild wolf who had been hungry for a long time seeing the meat and pounced directly on it.
"Don't worry, they have them all."
The two men who were distributing soup and cakes said, one took the bowl for soup and the other divided the noodles and pancakes. The speed was so fast that they seemed to be used to cooking.
"Ah! Today's broth seems extra fragrant!"
The old man Lu finally grabbed a bowl of soup, took a bite of the noodles, chewed vigorously with his cheeks, and ate very vigorously. At the end, he sipped the noodles again. The comfortable soup melted into the noodles, mixed into a ball and fell into the stomach. Don't mention how comfortable it is.
The beggars in the temple all received the food and lay in their corners to eat. The two men who had just distributed the food here wiped off their sweat and rested on the handrail of the cart.
"The two eldest brothers have worked hard. I think there are still soup and noodles left. If you are hungry, you might as well have a little bit of it. It is very embarrassing to ask them to come and help on a rainy day."
The woman who had been standing in the rain saw that the things were done before she slowly closed her umbrella and walked to the two.
Rain was still flowing from the umbrella surface that had just been closed, and it gathered along the ribs to the top of the umbrella. Large drops fell on the ground, splashing water.
The woman's voice was soft and delicate, and the delicate and beautiful jade-bottomed beaded shoes were gently lifted, and then fell gracefully, even the skirt swaying, very beautiful.
Such a beautiful and moving woman's posture fell in the eyes of the two, even if the night was dark, it made them dazzled.
"Two eldest brothers, I told you about this money before, and I promised you to give it, but I can collect it."
The woman took out two small purses, and one of them handed them over. The two men turned out that the beautiful fragrance of their daughter's home was still on the purse, which made the two of them feel dizzy.
"Pouch."
The woman chuckled softly, and the lamp in her hand flickered.
"Big brothers, hurry up and eat some hot soup, it's raining heavily this day."
"Oh, oh, drink!"
The two each scooped a spoonful of soup, and ate half of the cake.
"Girl, you want to eat some!"
As soon as one of them asked, he realized that something was wrong. How could the expensive lady's house be the same as the fuckers like them, and it was immediately embarrassing.
"I have eaten at home, so I don't eat it anymore."
The woman replied politely.
The two men stopped talking, and ate the soup and pancakes.
This is a god-given job. As long as the cart sends some food, the girl gave them two a month's wages on weekdays, and they naturally regarded the kind-hearted girl in front of them as a living Buddha. .
Except for the woman in the small temple, everyone ate their food. Everyone ate attentively, but they didn’t notice. The color of the lamp in the woman’s hand slowly changed from orange to faint green, which was so weird. A person's back is cold.
"what!"
The beggar surnamed Zhao suddenly felt cramps in his intestines and stomach, and his eyes flashed strange green light, the muscles all over his body shrank into a ball, and the bones cracked.
But after a while, the person fell to the ground and lost his breath.
The old man Lu next to him was startled by him, but before he could react, he screamed like him and fell to the ground.
The rain outside the temple suddenly became heavier. When the lightning struck, the white light suddenly lit up.
The corpse lying on the ground is terrible.
The sound of just chewing food and the muttering of beggars disappeared without a trace, and it was so quiet that life was cold.
"laugh."
With a sudden sneer, the lamp in the hand of the remaining woman had completely turned green.
As soon as he opened the oil-paper umbrella with both hands, the person disappeared into the rain.
The night was deep, thunder struck, and fell with a sound, hitting the dilapidated pillars of the temple.
The wooden pillar shook a few times, making a sound of breaking and grinning, and fell down with a bang. After that, the tiles that had lost their support also fell off.
The ruined temple, which had been lingering for a long time, was paralyzed.
