Chapter 7(3)()

East of Bingzhou City, Land Temple.

Li Yuanfang rode a horse to the Tudi Temple in East Chengdong. Unlike the last time he came here, this time he ran all the way and rushed into the broken yard of Tudi Temple. He tied the reins of the horse in the courtyard. He just turned over and got off the horse and shouted Han Bin's name. After shouting a few times, the yard was still silent and there was no sound. Li Yuanfang's expression became nervous. He walked a few steps and ran up the steps. The door of Tudi Temple was open, and the dilapidated statue of Tudi God was covered with dust and

Spider webs. There is a pile of grass poles against the wall in the mud all over the ground. Han Bin slept at night. The footprints on the mud were messy and there was no trace of others. Li Yuanfang breathed a little relieved. After walking around the Land Temple, he walked out and continued to search slowly in the yard. The wall at the east end of the yard had completely collapsed. Outside the wall was a deserted place with weeds, with a few big trees growing sparsely, and crows hovering on it. Li Yuanfang carefully

Searching around the ground, he suddenly found a small pool of blood on the collapsed courtyard wall. This shock was extraordinary. He leaned over and looked carefully. It was indeed bright red blood, very fresh. Suddenly, he felt his chest tightening and dizzy, and he almost fell to the ground. He quickly held a wall brick and took several breaths to calm his mind. Looking at the weeds, it seemed that something was lying inside. Li Yuanfang gritted his teeth, pulled out the Youlan Sword from his waist, and held it firmly.

In his hand, he stepped over the bloodstain and walked step by step into the weeds. After walking for more than ten steps, Youlan Jian reached out to find something in the grass. He withdrew his sword and stretched out his hand to push away the weeds in front of him. Han Bin curled up in a ball and was sleeping soundly! Li Yuanfang was stunned for a moment. Youlan entered the sheath and hugged the sleeping child. Han Bin was awakened by him, opened his eyes in a daze, looked at it for a while before recognizing him, pouted and complained: "What are you doing! I'm sleeping."

Li Yuanfang smiled and said, "What are you sleeping in the afternoon?"

Han Bin said: "I caught a weasel that I had been trapped for one night!"

"Catch the weasel?" Li Yuanfang looked at him laughably, feeling that his head was completely confused.

Han Bin took his hand, dragged him to the collapsed courtyard wall, pointed to the small stall of blood and said to Li Yuanfang: "I also gave it a moment with scissors, this is its blood."

Li Yuanfang said: "Ah, so that's the case. I thought..." He forced himself to walk forward a few steps, sat on the steps in front of the Land Temple, and looked at Han Bin without saying a word.

Han Bin sat down beside him and said, "I've been watching for two nights. The weasel is so bad. He always goes into the chicken coop next door. Yesterday I wanted to take out a few eggs to eat, but it bit the hen that laid the eggs to death. I'm so angry that I want to avenge the hen!"

Li Yuanfang sighed and asked, "Then have you caught it?"

"No, it ran away...but I also let it bleed!"

Li Yuanfang nodded and said, "You let it bleed, and you almost made me faint from anxiety."

Han Bin curled his lips and said, "How could I do? I've never seen you like this."

Li Yuanfang looked at him and smiled bitterly, "I feel very uncomfortable today. Really, can you treat me a little better?" Han Bin looked at his face and stopped talking. After a while, the child lowered his head and said, "Actually, I am afraid at night and dare not sleep, so..." Li Yuanfang hugged him gently and whispered, "You will never be afraid from today on. I will always be with you from now on." Han Bin looked at him in confusion and muttered, "Really? You really

Be with me? But I don’t want to go to Di Mansion!" Li Yuanfang said, “Don’t go to Di Mansion. Let’s find another place to live.” He tried hard to cheer up and asked, “You little local snake, do you know where there is an inn? Be more secluded, it’s better to be in the north of the city, not too far from Di Mansion.” Han Bin frowned and began to think hard. Li Yuanfang simply leaned against the temple wall and closed his eyes, gradually becoming blurred. Suddenly, he heard Han Bin scream: “What are you sleeping in the afternoon?”

Li Yuanfang opened her eyes and asked with a smile: "Did you remember?"

"Well, let's go. I'll take you there."

"Okay, but try to walk the path as much as possible. Do you know the path that is not easy to be discovered?" Li Yuanfang stood up and asked.

"Of course I know this, I'm familiar with it."

"very good."

Li Yuanfang took the horse and carried Han Bin up. He led the reins in front of him and walked forward in the direction indicated by Han Bin. Han Bin was indeed very familiar with Taiyuan City. Along the way, they walked around in secluded alleys or abandoned open spaces. They slowly walked from the east of the city to the north of the city, and walked a short distance along a small river. A small courtyard appeared in front of him, with the four words "Linhe Inn" on the flag.

Li Yuanfang did not rush into the inn, but slowly walked around the inn. The courtyard was not big, and the house looked disrepaired. The inn faced a river, on one side, there were woods on one side, and the sparse houses on the other side, facing a pothole-filled muddy road. He observed coldly and found that there were very few pedestrians passing by on the road, and they were all in a hurry, and there was no intention of staying here at all. It seemed that this place was indeed a place that was not easy to be noticed. Li Yuanfang then led the horse into the yard, carried Han Bin down, and took him to the counter to ask for a room. The shop seemed quite unhappy to have business to come to the door.

Fang said he wanted a secluded room and replied impatiently: "This guest official, look at it yourself. Our store is secluded enough. There are only a few people coming in ten days and half a month. Now there are only three customers in this store, plus you and this child, a total of five. As for the room, you can choose the room you like, and you can stay where you like. Anyway, we have the same specification here." Li Yuanfang finally chose a room near the river at the east end. When the shop sent them to the room, Li Yuanfang took out some silver for him and asked him to send the address to Di Renjie's mansion, and handed it to the housekeeper Di Chun himself. The shop ran away with the silver with a smile.

This is really a simple house. There is a window on the wall near the river. There are tables and chairs under the window. Under the wall on the other side is a earthen kang. A crooked cabinet is all the furniture. Han Bin climbed up the chair and looked out of the window curiously. He felt it was very fresh. Li Yuanfang leaned on the chair opposite him without saying a word, just looking at him quietly. Han Bin looked at the river for a while and felt bored. Turning back, Li Yuanfang smiled at him and asked, "How is it? Are you willing to live here?" Han Bin nodded and said happily, "It's much better than the Land Temple and is also better than Lan Yuguan." After saying that, he knew that he had missed his mouth and stuck out his tongue. Li Yuanfang didn't ask, and said, "I'm going out for a while now, and I will definitely come back before dark. Are you okay to stay here and wait for me?"

Han Bin said "hmm" and asked repeatedly: "Are you going out again? Where are you going? What are you going?"

Li Yuanfang said: "I was about to ask you, do you know where there is a drugstore?"

"Pharmaceutical shop? Are you going to buy medicine? Are you sick?" Han Bin asked several questions in a row.

Li Yuanfang shook her head, nodded again, and smiled, saying, "My back hurts so much that I didn't want to pay attention to it, but when I hugged you just now, I found that my arms were so numb that I almost couldn't hold you. So it seems that I still have to pay attention to it. It's really troublesome... But, I can just bring some food back when I go out. What do you want to eat? I'll buy it."

Han Bin said: "I want to eat bean paste pie."

"good."

Han Bin thought for a while and said, "As a medicine shop, Baicaotang in Dongcheng City is the largest. Otherwise, you can go there, it's not too far from here. There are several shops selling bean paste pie in Dongcheng City, and the bean paste pie there are the most delicious."

Li Yuanfang laughed in silence: "You child, you are quite good at sending me. Okay, then you wait, I'll go back."

Li Yuanfang walked out of the house and closed the door. Han Bin looked at the door for a while, took out a small paper bag from his arms, opened it, thought about it, and then wrapped it carefully. He looked up and down the room and hid the paper bag under the cabinet.
