Chapter 304: Orphans of Yumen Pass
Lechen thought he was very brave, but when he saw that strange uncle, he was scared and his back felt cold.
If he eats the cakes made by this beautiful "tiger", will he throw himself into the mountains to feed the wolves?
"He's not angry with you at all." Seeing him so cute, Shen Wanxiao pinched his red little face that was frozen, "You don't have to pay attention to him."
When the "tiger" suddenly touched his face, Lechen was frightened and turned pale.
He quickly clasped his hands together and kept chanting, "Amitabha, female donor, please respect yourself."
Shen Wan and Ling Xiaoxiao almost laughed themselves to death when they saw it.
If he lives in Amitabha Temple for a few more years, this child might really become a real monk.
"Sister, this kid is so funny!" Ling Xiaoxiao said excitedly, "It seems he really thinks we are tigers."
"Hahaha, I am a tiger, and the tiger is here to eat you!"
She smiled and roared like a tiger.
The other little monks saw this and started laughing too.
"Don't laugh at me, sisters. Brother Liaochen has been like this since I arrived here." The youngest monk said while eating cakes.
Shen Wan smiled and looked at the little monk: "How long have you been here?"
The little monk counted on his fingers and said seriously, "I am five years old this year, and I have been in Amitabha Temple for three months."
"We are almost the same!" After hearing this, several young monks rushed to answer.
What women are tigers? That’s all a lie.
Tigers are not so beautiful, and they will not give them cakes to eat.
Shen Wan frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Did you come here together?"
The young monk shook his head: "No, I came the latest. Senior Brother Liaochen came the earliest, probably several months earlier than me."
The more Shen Wan listened, the more confused she became.
strangeness!
These children are of similar age and came to Amitabha Temple at about the same time. Such a coincidence is impossible in this world.
"How did you get here?" Shen Wan thought for a moment and then looked at Chen.
Ling Xiaoxiao was even more curious, and quickly sat on a small stool to watch the show online.
How could she be missing from such an interesting thing!
"More than half a year ago, my father died in the battle of Yumen Pass." Lechen hesitated for a moment, then told the truth, "My mother couldn't bear the blow, so she jumped into the river and committed suicide."
"Later, the master found me and brought me to this Amitabha Temple."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wan's expression suddenly changed.
"Is your father also a soldier at Yumen Pass?" She quickly looked at the other little monks.
The young monks nodded.
Looking at these innocent little faces, Shen Wan seemed to understand something.
Suddenly, a strange sound came from behind.
When he turned around suddenly, he saw Xie Mubai standing outside the door.
He had a sullen expression, and his handsome face was cold without a trace of warmth.
Upon seeing him, Liaochen's face turned pale with fright, and he quickly explained, "It was... this female donor who gave us the cakes. I didn't ask for them!"
Xie Mubai didn't say anything, just looked at them coldly and turned away.
Shen Wan saw it and quickly chased after him.
The villain did not return to the house, but walked through the heavy snow to the outside of the temple.
His breathing was noticeably rapid, and his eyes were a terrifying scarlet.
At this time, an extremely thick tree in front blocked his way.
The villain gritted his teeth and punched the tree.
Suddenly, the sturdy tree shook a few times and then fell forward with a loud bang.
Shen Wan was shocked.
She immediately rushed forward and pulled him aside.
"Don't be like this!" She advised, looking into the villain's scarlet eyes, "I know you feel bad."
"But it has happened. All we can do now is avenge them!"
"If you also fall, who will avenge them?"
Xie Mubai frowned in pain, tears flickering in his eyes.
"Wan'er, hug me, I'm so tired!" He leaned his head on Shen Wan's shoulder, feeling as lonely and helpless as a child, "I'm so useless!"
"It's been over half a year since the Battle of Yumen Pass, but I still haven't been able to obtain evidence of the Third Prince collaborating with the enemy."
"Honestly, I'm too embarrassed to see these kids..."
Whenever he thought of those clear eyes, he no longer had the courage to return to Amitabha Temple.
This old abbot was able to find the orphans of these soldiers one by one, but what did this so-called prince do?
"No, you've done very well!" Shen Wan hugged him tightly and comforted him, "If we act rashly, more innocent people will die."
"We have to endure it, we must endure it!"
"Don't be afraid, I will be with you!"
"No matter what happens, I will always stand by you!"
Xie Mubai didn't say anything else, but buried his face deeply in her soft long hair, without moving for a long time.
He is tired, really tired!
For the past six months, he has been living cautiously and treading on thin ice every day.
Only by her side could his wandering heart find a moment of peace.
Shen Wan didn't say anything either.
She hugged him tightly and warmed him with her body temperature.
No matter how hard and difficult the road ahead is, she will not let go.
After a long time, Xie Mubai slowly stood up.
The villain had regained his composure by this point, and his pale face showed no trace of joy or sadness: "Let's go back."
"Wait." Shen Wan looked at the big tree and said with a smile, "Aren't those children short of firewood? Isn't this ready-made?"
"I still have a lot of food here, give them some too."
"I'll take over the Changlu Salt Works warehouse tonight and give them some more salt."
"This way, their wintering problem this year will be solved."
The food in the space was almost piled up into a mountain, and now that it could be put to use, Shen Wan was naturally very happy.
Xie Mubai thought about it and nodded.
The time is indeed not right now, and he can only do his best to take care of these poor children.
So he started to drag the big tree back.
Seeing this, Shen Wan also moved a few bags of food out of the space.
Their group only drove two carriages, so it was naturally inconvenient to take out too many things at once.
But even so, the little monks were still so shocked that they couldn't recover for a long time.
"Thank you, sister!" The youngest monk took Shen Wan's hand and shouted happily.
Shen Wan touched his little head and said with a smile: "This big tree was cut down by my brother. It's such a thick tree, it should be enough for you to burn for a while."
"It's obviously my uncle!" said the little monk seriously.
Shen Wan held her forehead slightly.
Okay, uncle is uncle.
In fact, the villain looks quite young, but he always has a stern face, which gives people the illusion that he is cunning and scheming.
Xie Mubai was not angry either.
He glanced at the young monk and walked straight to the old abbot's room.
Pushing open the shabby wooden door, I saw the old abbot standing in front of the tattered window with a cane.
"Who are you?" the old abbot asked cautiously with a serious face.
