Chapter 273: Chapter 273: Shenlu Temple

Fan Qing was somewhat excited and quickly reached out to pull down the scarf covering his mouth and nose to make his breathing a bit smoother.

"Qingqing, I’m okay.

"Damn, has it gotten down here?"

He still couldn’t believe it, as just a moment ago he was still upstairs.

"When you came down, you were hit in the back by a small cement slab.

My dad had to firmly help you down..."

Jhiang Yuan said this intentionally, not wanting him to dwell too much on the matter.

Actually, if one thought about it carefully, they would realize there was a problem with the timeline.

But, no one had walked down the stairs below before.

So no one knew what the situation was like, and, as they were about to leave, she was not afraid to confront it.

After gathering their belongings, everyone started to head out, now the entire land was covered in a vast expanse of white.

Outside, one could still see the scars left by the avalanche as it passed.

It was indeed magnificent, and one had to admit that humans were just too weak in the face of natural disasters.

A few people carried their luggage and did not dare to walk too fast.

Li Tianyu and the others were actually following leisurely behind.

Fan Qing was somewhat annoyed, constantly looking back at that group of people.

"Those people are so annoying, they don’t have anything in their hands; they can’t be thinking about targeting us, can they!"

Now, she saw everyone as potentially suspicious...

"Don’t worry, just keep moving forward, we’ll find a chance to deal with them later."

Song Yi didn’t even blink, those few behind him still didn’t know their end was near.

The situation outside was really not good, they continued their way down.

The visible sight was that of the residential buildings in the neighborhood, all skewed, especially those near the road.

Two buildings that weren’t supported by anything had directly collapsed, and the road was filled with numerous ruins.

The buildings inside had fallen but could still crush the adjacent buildings.

Although they did not completely fall and were supported by a nearby building for a moment.

But the situation was also particularly bad, everyone saw it and no one spoke.

The astonishment inside their hearts was not at all reduced.

Finally, they arrived at the village below, which typically was just two stops away.

This time it took a full two hours, even though they hurried.

"Song Yi, let’s just stay here, it’s getting late.

We’ve been toiling all day; everyone’s tired."

"Yeah, okay!"

This was the previously evacuated village where they had been caught looking for firewood; it was also an abandoned village.

This place had been declared relocated a long time ago, and not many houses were left.

With the snowfall now, they could only see a construction unit’s leftover prefab houses.

However, only one roof remained, making it completely uninhabitable.

"Sister Yuan, there’s no place here either; I remember there used to be houses before, probably all buried by the snow now."

What Ye Mianmian said was the fact that there were indeed no houses left now.

Moreover, the weather was too cold, and there was even a thin layer of ice formed on top of the snow.

It wasn’t very sturdy, but walking on it was certainly much slipperier.

"Let’s go there!"

Jhiang Yuan pointed towards a temple on the hill behind the village.

"What is that place, it looks kind of strange."

Ye Mianmian had lived here for several years and had never noticed that there was such a place here.

"It’s Shenlu Temple, which also lends its name to this village."

This area used to have a legend of a divine deer, and several nearby villages believed in it.

Over time, the story was passed down.

This village was also named after this temple, "Shenlu Village"!

Having made up their minds, everyone prepared to head there!

However, this location was indeed challenging.

It was on a high slope, but there was nothing they could do.

Because, nearby, there were no other places to settle.

Song Yi crouched down, patted Little One, and then pointed to the temple above.

The little guy shot out with a "whoosh," very fast.

"Quick, follow up..."

Song Yi hurried everyone along because there were two other children, which made him more concerned.

Xiao Nuan walked a bit by herself, but later Qin Yue had to carry her.

Jhiang Yuan went over to pull her, letting her walk by herself.

It would keep her warmer, and it would be easier on the mother as well.

The group set off mightily; the village was relatively wealthy, and the path to the temple had wide steps constructed.

Although it was snowing now, it was still passable.

Song Yi led the way, with Liang Kang and Jhiang Xingzhi bringing up the rear.

The others were in the middle; those four people were still following them, truly recklessly.

Without time to think further, everyone quickly moved on.

Fortunately, atop the ice and snow, there wasn’t much distance.

When they reached the entrance of the temple, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The temple was not big, just a room without even a courtyard.

Otherwise, it would have been buried.

Song Yi pushed the door and entered directly since it had wooden latticed windows, so the windows here were still intact.

Inside was tightly sealed; starting a fire here, they estimated it would be very warm.

There was no special decoration, just a statue of a divine deer placed in the middle.

In front, a red cloth covered the offering table, with several offering plates placed on it, but no offerings.

On either side, there were three wide yellow cloths.

It was unclear what they were used for, but many temples had these.

"Let’s rest here for a bit, everyone find your own spot,"

Song Yi said and then called Liang Kang over to look around and stand guard.

Jhiang Yuan wasn’t idle either; they were now a group of the old, weak, sick, and injured.

"Put your belongings here, and let’s see if there are any branches nearby, gather some firewood to bring back."

The female comrades all helped out. When they had entered, she had seen that there were quite a few trees outside.

It was just that, with the ice and snow, it was uncertain if they could still be used.

"Don’t go out, just stay inside. Let’s dismantle this offering table, there’s still plenty of stuff behind it."

Liang Kang dragged out two baskets, Jhiang Xingzhi saw this and quickly went over to help.

Inside, there were quite a few incense sticks, the long type used for offerings.

There were also some ingots and other things, seemingly leftovers from rituals.

Song Yi was already busy. When he was dismantling the offering table, he was still very reverent.

He mumbled something for a while, basically just mentioning borrowing something.

Then, he called Liang Kang over.

Together, they moved the offering table over.

Qin Yue also found a broom and started to clean up the ground.

The middle spot was reserved for the fire later.

Jhiang Yuan wasn’t idle either, preparing to go out and close the door, as it was really too cold.

The four people below had already come up.

They were also ecstatic, unlike their earlier peering around; they clearly were thinking about coming inside.

"What are you doing?"

"Sister Yuan, you found such a great place; let us come in and take shelter too, it’s so cold outside."

Li Tianyu’s attitude was good, but Jhiang Yuan did not let them in.

These people were purposefully following them.

"This place is already occupied by us; you all find somewhere else!"
