Chapter 29: Rain Trapped in the Temple

Shen Yunyue added a lot of pepper to the porridge. Drinking a bowl of chicken porridge in winter is particularly delicious and warming.

Shen Citong, Shen Zhoushi, Shen Lushi, and Liu Xiaoyun all came out to serve the porridge.

Liu Feifei felt a little unwell.

Shen Zhou asked her to rest inside, hoping that if something happened to her, she would not be able to find a doctor.

The old man of the Shen family, his two brothers and two sisters-in-law were all sitting in the temple.

After everyone had finished, Shen Yunyue also filled a large bowl for herself. All that was left was some rice soup at the bottom of the pot.

"Come over and cook some steamed bread."

The women who were waiting had already dried their wet clothes until they were half dry.

Hearing this, they understood that Shen Yunyue was helping them. There had to be at least half a bowl of rice at the bottom of the pot. Now, even a few grains of rice were a gift of food.

I was filled with gratitude and said:

“Thank you, Miss Shen.”

The woman with her son was named Xiangling. She greeted Shen Yunyue and used the water from the Shen family's wooden barrel. After pouring the water into the pot, she placed the barrel back under the eaves to collect rainwater.

Several people had taken a few bites of the steamed bread in their hands.

Now, no matter who’s saliva is involved, just put the steamed bread in the pot and cook it.

The monkey finished the porridge in his bowl and couldn't bear to see them so he took out a few wooden spoons and gave them to them. "You can use these wooden spoons to eat."

"Thank you, sir." Xiangling took the lead in kneeling and kowtowing.

He also kowtowed to several people from the Shen family, but Shen Yunyue and the others all dodged sideways.

Finished the porridge.

Xiangling and the others rushed to wash the dishes for the Shen family. They kept saying:

"Miss Shen. Please let us do something to make us feel at ease. After using your things, how can we just rely on a word of thanks."

"Miss Shen. It's because of you that we have dry clothes to wear today and a hot meal to eat. We should do something, otherwise God will not tolerate us being conscienceless."

…

The women spoke sincerely to each other, leaving Shen Yunyue speechless.

"Alright. After you wash it, give the bowl to Yingfeng. There are some medicine residues left in the jar. If you don't mind, you can boil some water and drink it."

"No problem. No problem. You've only cooked it twice."

Shen Yunyue didn't say anything else.

Those cold medicines were boiled twice.

The efficacy of the medicine will definitely be greatly reduced.

But it's better to boil some more for them than to drink water.

Faced with the flattery of these people, the others were somewhat disdainful.

Others also came to ask for the remaining medicine residue.

Seeing that they were not people who usually had conflicts with her, Shen Yunyue gave them all to them.

Naturally, some people wanted the medicinal residue, but they couldn't bring themselves to ask. They waited hesitantly for Shen Yunyue to ask them, but unfortunately, Shen Yunyue returned to the temple as the rain outside grew heavier.

Sitting next to Fu Xuanheng, he covered his mouth and yawned.

Fu Xuanheng frowned and stared at her unhappily:

"Look at you, you don't even take a break when you have time. Take off your shoes and put your feet inside your cloak. I'll massage your feet to loosen them up."

Mo Yiran and Liu Xiaoyun beside them looked at each other.

The two smiled knowingly.

Look at how good this couple's relationship is.

Shen Yunyue did not miss their gazes and obediently took off her shoes and put her feet in her cloak.

"Please massage me for a while and then I can fall asleep. Later, Uncle Si and the others will go to the woods to wake me up, and I want to go with them." Shen Yunyue was indeed a little sleepy.

Listening to the sound of rain outside the land temple, my head became dizzy.

The air inside the temple wasn't good, but fortunately the Shen family had chosen a spot right by the broken window. Even though it was raining outside, the eaves provided some shelter, so no rain was blown in by the wind.

Fu Xuanheng frowned even more tightly.

He didn't agree to her, but just said "hmm" vaguely.

Shen Yunyue leaned against the wall, closed her eyes, and fell asleep. After a few breaths, her body relaxed.

Watch her relax.

Fu Xuanheng thought for a moment and moved Shen Yunyue to a different position, pressing her head onto his thigh. "Mom, move Yunyue's feet a little to the side so she can sleep more comfortably."

"OK."

Mo Yiran sat over there.

He put Shen Yunyue's feet in his arms and sat on the thatch to sew the shoe uppers.

Shen Yunzheng ran over and saw Liu Xiaoyun holding Shu Bao and sleeping. He was sleeping obediently in Mo Yiran's arms.

Exiled all the way.

Comparatively expensive shoes.

The women of the Shen family, with the exception of Old Madam Shen and her sisters-in-law, would sew shoes whenever they had time. Meanwhile, all of Mo Yiran's generation were engaged in needlework.

This aroused the envy of others, and they also wanted to do some needlework.

But there were no rare items like cloth and cotton.

The sky outside looked like someone had punched a hole in it.

The sky began to darken.

Scarface Peng knew he couldn't leave when he saw the situation.

Just this morning, after being drenched in rain, many people have started coughing.

I'm afraid this rain will claim many lives.

"Monkey. We have to stay in the land temple for one night. There will be no steamed bread to share at night. Let everyone know." Scarface Peng's words fell into the ears of several people nearby.

Everyone had a sad look on their face.

Without reaching the post station, there is naturally no way to prepare steamed bread.

But they will go hungry.

The monkey responded and stood at the door of the land temple with a whip in his hand.

Make sure everyone in the house and under the eaves hears his voice.

Monkey swung the whip in the air, lashing it hard against the door frame. "I'm telling you, you can't leave today. There won't be any steamed bread tonight. Each family will have to send someone out to find food."

"Officer, how far is it from here to the town or village?" someone asked in a trembling voice.

The steamed bread we had at noon was soaked in muddy water. At night, we didn’t even have steamed bread soaked in muddy water.

Are you going to let people live?

"The nearest village is twenty miles away, and the town is even farther. You'd better give up on this idea." The monkey replied lazily, leaning against the door.

Suddenly.

Everyone's heart sank to the bottom.

The sound of chattering could be heard in the temple.

Scarface Peng took a quick look and asked coldly:

"If you are not convinced, leave now."

It was like someone was holding everyone's throat, and everyone kept silent.

It’s raining so hard.

Set off?

It's equivalent to death.

"Are we seeking your opinion? We're just telling you there's nothing to eat tonight. Do you think we're afraid you'll die on the road? If you keep talking, all the young ones will be taken to brothels. The old ones will be left in the rain to freeze to death."

Scarface Peng finished speaking.

The temple was silent, with only the sound of rain falling on the ground outside the window.

The monkey grinned. "Pengtou is still the best."

Scarface Peng glanced over coldly, leaned against the wall with his hands holding the machete and closed his eyes to rest.

Monkeys can't sit still.

He ran out and waved to Ah Si, "Ah Si, shall we go to the woods?"

"good."

Ah Si responded and told Ying Feng to stay and look after the carriage outside, to prevent anyone with ulterior motives from stealing the items on the carriage.

Shen Yunfeng looked at Ah Si eagerly.

"Uncle Si. Can I come with you?"

"Can you ask Miss Yue?" Ah Si picked up the straw raincoat and put it on, and also put a hat on his head.

Shen Yunfeng sighed in frustration:

"If it hadn't rained, it would have been fine. My sister definitely wouldn't let me follow her now."

"Then why are you asking?"

Shen Yunfeng didn't say anything. He squatted on the ground with Shen Yuncheng, Fu Xuansheng and others, watching the rain fall on the puddles on the ground, forming splashes of water.

In addition to the monkeys, there were several escorts who did not want to stay in the temple and also put on straw raincoats and went along.

The strong men from the Lu and He families and several other families also put on straw raincoats.

Ah Si looked coldly at the women who were trying to catch up. "We're going deep into the woods. We can't wait for you."

The monkey frowned and sneered:

"Those who are slow on their feet, please be more careful. We are going hunting."

A group of more than a dozen people set off.

The women were still behind, forced to go into the woods to look for food.

Fu Xuanheng reached out and covered Shen Yunyue's ears to prevent the noise from disturbing her.

Mo Yiran thought about what Shen Yunyue had told him.

I couldn't help but frown, "Xuan Heng. Yun Yue said..."

"Mom. The family doesn't need Yunyue to go out in the heavy rain to find food." Fu Xuanheng's voice was cold.

Mo Yiran stopped talking when he thought of this.

She didn't mean to ask Shen Yunyue to go out and find food, she just wanted to obey. Now it seems that Fu Xuanheng is a man with his own ideas, and he can live in harmony with Shen Yunyue in the future.

After having a dream, Shen Yunyue woke up.

I was confused for a moment, then I remembered that they were staying in the Tudigong Temple.

Shen Yunyue stood up and stretched, then reached out and touched Fu Xuanheng's chest. "Did you deliberately not call me?"
