Chapter 247 City God Temple

Gu Qingcheng's face changed slightly, but it didn't take long to change, but he still smiled as usual, "I just saw that there are wontons written on your signboard, are you from the south?"

The boss and the proprietress smiled at each other and rubbed their heads: "I lived in the south in the early years, but later, because of some things, I slowly came to the north."

"It turned out to be like this, and it's not easy, so let's have two bowls of wontons." Gu Qingcheng smiled, like a little girl in the family, and she was the most lovable kind: "I used to hear that wontons are good. Eat it, haven't tried it yet."

"Oh, okay! Two guest officers, please wait a moment."

Seeing the boss busy there, the proprietress took another clean handkerchief and wiped the tables and chairs vigorously.

"After so many years of running a small stall, it's the first time for the two guest officers to ask why there are wonton people. It's not my mother-in-law bragging. If you want to start wonton, I'm the first-class one. "

"I can smell it, it's very fragrant."

Gu Qingcheng took a deep sniff, and with a smoky breath, said casually: "I like this place, it's clean."

"Now, the world is getting better, and there are no more wars, and everything is clean!" The proprietress said with a smile, holding two bowls of steaming wontons in her hand: "Your wontons are ready. , please use it slowly."

Gu Qingcheng looked around for a while, reached out and gently grabbed the sleeve of the proprietress, "We are from other places, and we want to take a rest in this city and go shopping. It's not very busy at the moment, otherwise you Just chat with me?"

Although the proprietress is from the south, after arriving in the north, her temperament is much more refreshing.

"Okay, at first glance, the two of you are newlyweds! You came to our city specially, so you can't let them go back empty-handed, that's right."

Nangong Mo frowned slightly at first, he was a little disgusted, for example, the oil stains on the table for many years, and the wonton fragrance that was not exquisite and had a rough mineral smell.

Gu Qingcheng didn't think too much, and ate happily one by one.

From time to time, I chatted with the proprietress, "In addition to Yuelao Temple, we also have a night market at night, and a lake in the east. Are there other places we can go?"

"Other places are not too different from normal days, there is really no need to go there once." The proprietress said, and looked at Gu Qingcheng with some affection: "At first I thought you were a very special girl, but now I understand, It looks like it’s not from an ordinary family.”

Gu Qingcheng lowered his head and pretended to smile shyly. When he raised his head again, there was a bit of panic on his face.

"There is one more thing, please help me," Gu Qingcheng said with tears, and came right away, wanting to cry: "I used to play with my brother at home. Not only did I get separated, but when I met a beggar, I was almost kidnapped." So now I am very scared, lady boss, please tell me, where do the beggars in this city usually go?"

When Nangong Mo heard this, he finally felt some clues.

This place is indeed too quiet.

It doesn't mean the silence without sound, but it always feels extraordinarily peaceful.

Even in the capital city, a group of little beggars will surround you at places like this where you prepare to eat in the morning, and will stare at you quietly with big black eyes without fighting or grabbing.

Some shopkeepers are friendly, and even give out some inexpensive shit.

But now this place is just a small town.

From last night to now, there is not even a single beggar along the way!

"Yes." Nangong Mo also chimed in: "My wife is a little more courageous than a mouse. Once bitten by a snake, she will be afraid of well ropes for ten years. Please ask the proprietress to remind me."

The proprietress laughed out of the teasing of the two, and said casually: "It's okay, you're on the land boundary in Jiaocheng, you can go wherever you want."

Gu Qingcheng's eyes flickered, but he was still naive: "Really? Could it be that there are no beggars in this city? Then where do those beggars usually stay?"

"Just Town God's Temple..."

The words blurted out, the face of the proprietress changed, and she stood up: "The two guest officials will eat first, and I have to go help."

"Okay! Thank you, lady boss!"

Gu Qingcheng raised his voice to thank him, but in the blink of an eye, his eyes turned cold.

"It seems that the matter of the emperor's southward search has already been overwhelmed." Gu Qingcheng gritted his teeth and glanced at Nangong Mo, "Otherwise, what's the point of driving out beggars for no reason?"

Nangong Mo really laughed out of anger at the stupid things of the officials below.

If you want to get promoted and get rich, you can only show real political achievements.

In the end, who told these people?
Drive those old, weak, sick and disabled beggars out of the city.

When I came here, I couldn't see those beggars. Is it possible that I really think that they are doing well enough?

"I remember that our bike frame also passed through the Chenghuang Temple before. It looked brand new, and it didn't look like a habitat for homeless people."

"It doesn't matter, let's go and see."

Nangong Mo thought of what the old man said about the subsidy for soldiers in the army, and thought of the old man's tattered clothes and orange clothes, which were a bit weird.

The two of them lost the intention of having breakfast, and when the proprietress mentioned those words, she seemed to be a different person.

Even if they got up, the proprietress never said hello again.

About half an hour later, Nangong Mo quietly looked at the Town God's Temple in front of him, and it seemed that it was renovated, and there were only a few young monks in the whole hall.

"Several little masters, I heard people say that there is a good man living here, and he will open a porridge shed from time to time to help."

After finishing speaking, Gu Qingcheng carefully looked at the little novice's stiff face, and the half-grown boy paused: "You came from the city, right? The city said that the Town God's Temple is this one, not what you said it would be A place to help beggars."

It was rare that a young novice was willing to speak. Gu Qingcheng was about to make persistent efforts when Nangong Mo stopped him.

After walking out of the temple, Gu Qingcheng was a little confused: "I haven't found out anything yet, why did you take mine out?"

"In this situation, it cannot be ruled out that someone ordered it. If it is kept warm for a long time, it is easy to cause death."

Nangong Mo always had endless patience with Gu Qingcheng, "Now that we know the direction, we can check it ourselves. If other innocent people are implicated, then it is really a crime."
