Chapter 546 (1/2)
Watching the group of children like beggars rush away, Xiao Ruixuan and Mr. Jin quietly follow the group of children and arrive at a dilapidated small earth temple outside the city.
Seeing that the boy came back triumphantly, several other children ran out of the small earth temple, and looked at the boy expectantly and said, ”brother Gouzi, did you hit him?”
”Of course!” The young man raised the pigeon in his hand with a proud face, ”did you boil the water?”
The children nodded busily and arched the boy into the small earth temple like a mountain king.
Xiao Ruixuan exchanged a wink with Mr. Jin, and followed him in lightly.
The earthen temple is not big and dilapidated. At first glance, it is in disrepair. Above the lacquer table, there are mottled clay figurines.
Under the table is a simple stove made of stone,
There is a broken earthen jar on the stove. Water is boiling in the earthen jar.
The young man skillfully threw the pigeon into the pot and boiled it for a while. No matter whether the water was hot or not, he grabbed the pigeon's foot and lifted it out of the pot. Then he sat on the steps beside the earthen temple and plucked it.
However, with a few efforts, a pigeon was stripped clean by him, and then he took out a knife from his body, cut the pigeon into small pieces, and found a broken bowl with a missing mouth.
While the boy was dealing with the pigeon, the other children poured the water out of the jar and replaced it with a new one.
After the young man cut the pigeon, he just poured all the pigeon meat into the pot, while the other children looked forward to the pigeon soup, as if it was the best food in the world.
Xiao Ruixuan hid in the dark and quietly counted. With the boy, there were seven or eight children living in the local temple.
Judging from their dirty clothes, they are all vagrants and beggars.
He went to the place where the boy plucked the pigeon's hair just now. In the pigeon's hair there, he saw the bamboo tube that they had tied to the pigeon's leg to pass the note.
Xiao Ruixuan also bent over and searched in the pigeon hair mixed with blood.
As expected, he easily turned out three or four similar bamboo tubes.
Mr. Jin helped to dismantle the small bamboo tube. Sure enough, he found the news that the rejuvenation hall had been burned.
Xiao Ruixuan's face became complicated.
He squeezed the small bamboo tube in his hand and went to the small earth temple.
At this time, the pigeon soup in the earthen jar has been stewed with bursts of fragrance. The boy is adding something to the earthen jar, while the group of children are swallowing their saliva.
Seeing a stranger in the temple, the boy stood up very alert.
He looked at Xiao Ruixuan and Mr. Jin, and then said, ”who are you
Who is it? ”
Xiao Ruixuan took a look at him, then glanced at the earthen jar and said, ”is the pigeon meat delicious?”
However, without waiting for the boy to answer, a child beside him replied naively: ”delicious ~!” Xiao Ruixuan also looked over and found that the child was about the same age as de Ge'er, but he was covered with an adult's coarse cloth shirt, and he was too dirty to see the original color.
The young man seemed to have guessed something. He subconsciously protected the six or seven children behind him. He said to Xiao Ruixuan, ”one person should do things for one person. I beat the pigeon. If there's anything wrong, you come to me. Don't embarrass them!”
