Looking at the fainted young man, Jiang Si's eyes flashed.

To kill or not to kill, this is indeed a question that makes people hesitate.

Killing people just because these two people stole their barbecue was too extreme, but these two people were from Northern Qi, so what they said might be true.

Killing him is naturally the easiest way.

But these are two lives after all.

Jiang Sigan simply pushed the problem to Long Dan: "Long Dan, you handle it."

On this trip south, there were only four of them, but Long Dan had other preparations, so it would be safer to let him handle it.

Long Dan thought about it for a while and said, "Then let them sleep in the ruined temple for one night."

As for other things, he didn't mention much.

Jiang Si didn't ask. Old Qin was a man of few words, and Elder Hua was even less talkative.

Long Dan dragged the young man and put him together with another Northern Qi man.

Lao Qin suddenly put his ear to the ground, his expression solemn: "It seems someone else is coming."

"Someone's coming again?" Long Dan said helplessly. "Today is really weird. It's already dark and snowing heavily. How come people keep coming to such a dilapidated temple?"

"It's snowing, so many people come here to rest." Old Qin said as he stood up and dragged the older Northern Qi man to a corner.

Two people were lying side by side without moving. One of them was missing half of his left ear, which was not appropriate for someone to see.

Fortunately, it was already late at night and the light in the temple was dim, so it was not difficult to drag the two men into a corner and cover them up.

Lao Qin and Long Dan worked together to cover the two unconscious people when they heard movement at the temple gate.

"Is anyone there?" Two people appeared at the door and one of them asked.

Jiang Si and the others looked over, and in the light of the fire, they saw that the man who spoke was an old man with gray hair, and next to the old man stood a teenager.

Seeing Jiang Si and the others looking over, the old man asked politely, "It's a cold and snowy night. Can I and my grandson stay for one night?"

Elder Hua thought it was better to have less trouble than more, and said nothing.

Jiang Si pretended to be the granddaughter of Elder Hua. The grandmother didn't say anything, so it was even more difficult for the granddaughter to speak.

Long Dan saw the old man with gray hair and the thin young man beside him with a red face from the cold. He nodded and said, "Come in, both of you. We are also passers-by who are taking shelter from the wind and snow."

The old man, visibly relieved, walked in with his grandson.

The warmth in the temple made the grandfather and grandson feel a little relaxed, and the fragrance that wafted into their noses made them look towards the fire involuntarily.

Long Dan glanced at Jiang Si secretly, and seeing that she had no objection, he said, "If you two are hungry, you can have some barbecue."

The handsome young man with a red face from the cold couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

When you go out on a snowy day, the steaming barbecue is undoubtedly an amazing attraction.

The old man hesitated for a moment and said with an embarrassed look: "Sorry to bother you."

Long Dan took the initiative to cut off a few pieces of barbecue and handed them to the old man and the young man.

The grandfather and grandson thanked them, and perhaps because they were very hungry, they devoured the food in no time.

For a moment, the only sounds in the temple were the grandparents' chewing and the crackling of flames.

Soon the grandfather and grandson finished their meal, and the old man thanked Jiang Si and the others again.

"Don't be polite, old man. It's fate that we met. It's getting late. We should take a rest." Long Dan said with a smile.

The old man was very interested and took his grandson to the other end, where he half-lay down against the wall.

No one on either side spoke, fatigue set in.

Lao Qin suddenly stood up and walked towards the temple gate.

The old man, who had closed his eyes, immediately opened them and followed Lao Qin with his gaze.

"The wind is strong. Let's see if there is anything that can block the door." Lao Qin explained, walked around outside the door, and came back empty-handed.

Long Dan squinted his eyes and said, "Don't bother yourself. Go to bed early. If the snow stops tomorrow morning, we'll have to hurry up. We've wasted a lot of time today."

Lao Qin came over and sat down next to Long Dan.

Gradually, peace returned to the temple.

Although Long Dan closed his eyes, he was not asleep.

It's not that he wasn't sleepy, but he couldn't sleep peacefully in the wilderness. The princess's safety always came first in his heart.

Suddenly, someone grabbed his hand.

Long Dan's eyelids twitched and he opened his eyes.

The person who grabbed his hand was Lao Qin.

Long Dan blinked to express his confusion.

The fire was already half extinguished, and the light in the temple was growing dimmer. However, because the two were so close, they could clearly see each other's expressions.

Lao Qin loosened his grip and wrote a few words on the ground.

Long Dan looked down and his expression suddenly changed. He saw something written on the ground: There is someone under the tree on the side of the road.

Long Dan moved his lips and asked silently, "How many?"

Lao Qin wrote the number "two".

Long Dan turned his gaze and looked to the other end.

The old man and the young man were lying close together, seemingly asleep.

Long Dan's expression became serious.

This is really a restless snowy night.

Lao Qin found two people under the tree outside the temple. Were they with the grandparents who came later, or with the two Northern Qi people who came earlier?

Regardless of who you are with, if you don't come in to avoid the wind and snow but stand quietly under the tree outside on such a day, there must be something wrong.

Do you want to wait until they fall asleep and then enter the temple to kill them?

Long Dan thought about it, then suddenly stood up and walked out.

As he did this, several pairs of eyes opened immediately, including that of the grandfather and grandson.

Long Dan sneered secretly.

His movements were gentle enough, but the grandparents still noticed it immediately, and it was obvious that the two were not asleep.

Arriving at the temple gate, Long Dan muttered to himself, "I've had too much to drink and can't hold it back. This cold weather is really a torture."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared at the temple gate, blending into the starless and moonless night.

The young man who was sitting next to the old man moved and wanted to get up, but was held down by the old man.

"Grandfather——" The young man's expression froze slightly, and he shouted silently.

The old man shook his head slightly, stopping the young man from continuing, but his eyes never left the temple entrance, and his expression was nervous.

Long Dan walked out of the temple gate, and his tiredness was immediately swept away by the wind and snow, and he quickly looked around.

There is a row of trees not far from the ruined temple, and two figures can be vaguely seen standing beside the trees.

If it were summer, the lush branches and leaves might have obscured the two figures, making them difficult to spot at night, but now only a small part is covered, so they can be seen with a careful look.

Long Dan walked towards there on the snow.

It is normal for men to urinate under a tree.

As they got closer, the two figures remained motionless.

Long Dan slowed down his pace and felt something was wrong.

The snow hasn't stopped yet, and I don't know how long these two people have been standing under the tree. Whether they can bear it is one thing, but why didn't they react at all when they saw someone coming?

He was quite patient. Did he think that he didn't notice and was waiting for him to come closer and stab him?

But until Long Dan came closer, the two figures remained motionless.

What's happening?

Long Dan was surprised and alert. He walked closer and looked over carefully, then saw two pale and stiff faces.
