The temple door was half-closed, and a few dim, flickering lights shone through the crack, like will-o'-the-wisps, eerily flashing and leaping in the thick darkness.
Based on what the little girl said about Grandpa Qin, I thought of someone.
Qin Yubo!
Qin Yubo's deeds and upright image during the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties are widely circulated among the people. Considering this location, it should be him.
(Note: The surnames of the City Gods vary in different regions. For example, the City Gods of the capital city are Wen Tianxiang and Yang Jiaoshan, the City Gods of Nanning and Guilin are Su Jian, the City God of Shaoxing in Zhejiang is Pang Yuan, and the City God of Xi'an is Ji Xin, etc. There are many City Gods in different regions of Northeast China alone.)

He said with a serious expression, "But right now you're only this little bit bad."
Seeing that she was in a good mood, I took the opportunity to ask her, "Can you tell your uncle why your grandma wants you to stay with him all the time?"
The little girl clenched her fists with a serious expression: "Because a bad older sister is going to bully the bad uncle, I want to protect the bad uncle!"
Bad older sister?
I said, "Isn't it Grandpa?"
"You're so stupid, you bad uncle!"
The little girl looked at her with disdain and said in a clear voice, "That grandpa just rode on your shoulders to play, but that naughty older sister in the red dress is different."
"She's fierce, and she's holding a pair of gold scissors!"
