After the system ran, I took off with my family

Chapter 347 Uninvited Guests in the Ruined Temple

Before they reached the city gate, Qinghe, who was driving the carriage, and Qingzhi, who was sitting on the shaft, noticed several obscure gazes coming from all around.

Lin Shuyue sat in the carriage with Gousheng. She closed her eyes and spread her spiritual awareness around her.

After a moment, she opened her eyes and looked down at Gousheng's big, clear, and curious eyes.

She didn't explain, but just gently touched his head.

Gousheng squinted his eyes, rubbed his little head against her palm, and then continued to eat the fruit obediently.

There were not many people leaving the city at this time, so the carriage left the city smoothly and headed towards the official road.

After walking for about an incense stick's time, Lin Shuyue suddenly told Qinghe, "Qinghe, there's a fork in the road about a mile ahead. Take the one on the left."

"Okay, sir." Qinghe was a little confused, but still followed the instructions obediently.

They soon reached a fork in the road, and Qinghe drove the carriage smoothly to the left.

At this fork, going straight will continue north, while the road on the left will go towards Longzhou, and past Longzhou is Shu.

Lin Shuyue decided to lead those people towards Longzhou, and after dealing with them, he would take a detour to Bingzhou and continue heading north.

After the carriage had been going for a quarter of an hour, Lin Shuyue closed his eyes and used his spiritual sense to explore behind him.

After a few breaths, she opened her eyes, and a flash of coldness passed through her eyes.

Sure enough, they followed.

There were far fewer carriages heading towards Longzhou than towards the north. It took more than an hour to occasionally come across one or two carriages.

Qinghe followed Lin Shuyue's instructions and drove the carriage very fast. Except for a break at a tea stall on the way, he kept on traveling for the rest of the time.

It was not until dusk fell that they stopped at a small dilapidated temple on the side of the road.

This dilapidated temple was really dilapidated. More than half of the wall had collapsed, and the main entrance door was hanging precariously. Lin Shuyue didn't dare to push it hard, for fear that it would cause damage.

Qinghe parked the carriage in the corner of the yard and started moving the luggage. Gousheng also picked up his small package and walked towards the dilapidated temple with a grunt.

Qingzhi found a slightly cleaner place in the corner of the dilapidated temple and cleaned it up. She then went to the vicinity of the temple to pick up some firewood and lit a fire.

As far as Gousheng could remember, this was the first time he had lived in a dilapidated temple, and he felt very curious about it.

He ran to Qingzhi to help collect firewood, and then ran to Qinghe to watch her cook dinner. He never stopped after getting off the car.

After dinner, the three adults and one child stared at the fire in a daze.

Gousheng is still young after all. He had been traveling for an entire afternoon and had just been busy for so long that he began to doze off while sitting.

The little head nodded, which made Lin Shuyue, Qinghe and Qingzhi laugh a lot.

When he was about to fall to the ground, Qing He quickly caught his small body, picked him up and put him on the thatched grass beside him.

As soon as he was put down, Gousheng turned over, smacked his lips, and fell into deep sleep again.

"This child is quite well-behaved." Looking at Gousheng's sleeping face, Qinghe gently covered him with a coat.

Lin Shuyue looked at Gousheng, and her eyes softened. "Well, he's really well behaved, and he's a pitiful child."

"Okay, you guys should go to bed early too. I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep in the second half of the night."

Lin Shuyue urged the two of them to rest, and she leaned against the wall with her head tilted up, looking at the stars in the sky through the big hole in the roof, but her thoughts had already drifted away.

It is already mid-August. According to the time, my second brother's palace examination should have been finished.

I don’t know what the result will be. When I go back and see my second brother, I will have to call him Mr. Lin.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Time passed little by little, Qinghe and Qingzhi fell asleep one after another, and Lin Shuyue leaned against the wall with her eyes closed and dozed off.

For a moment, the only sounds that could be heard were the crackling of burning firewood in the dilapidated temple and the chirping of crickets in the grass outside the temple.

Just as Lin Shuyue expected, the first half of the night passed peacefully. After midnight, the chirping of crickets in the grass suddenly disappeared.

Lin Shuyue suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the dilapidated temple gate.

She immediately stood up, and a "humming" sound of sword rang out. Qinghe and Qingzhi woke up immediately after hearing the sound.

The two men carried the sleeping dog to a corner and used their luggage to cover him.

After doing all this, the master and his two servants stared at the direction of the gate, waiting for the uninvited guests to arrive.

"Boom..."

The door of the dilapidated temple was suddenly kicked open from the outside.

The door shook, and finally fell to the ground with a "bang", sacrificing its life gloriously.

Immediately afterwards, eight or nine men in black rushed in with a murderous aura.

The leading man in black looked around the dilapidated temple, and finally fixed his cold gaze on Lin Shuyue and the other two.

"Hand over the child."

The man's voice was hoarse and his tone left no room for doubt.

Lin Shuyue snorted coldly, "If you want a child, let's see if you have the fate to do so."

As soon as she finished speaking, she drew her sword and leaped forward, the sharp tip of the sword pointing directly at the man's heart.

"Ridiculous."

The man sneered and waved his hand. Several men in black behind him immediately rushed towards Lin Shuyue, trying to stop her.

Seeing this, Qinghe and Qingzhi immediately jumped forward and fought with the men in black with their swords.

For a moment, the only sound on the field was the clanging of weapons.

Lin Shuyue slashed through the two men in black who were blocking the way with a sword, and then she dodged and appeared in front of the leader in the blink of an eye.

The leading man's face turned stern, and he raised his knife and slashed at her chest. However, the knife missed, and then his neck suddenly felt cold.

He looked down and saw that Lin Shuyue's cold and sharp sword was already against his neck.

Thinking of the identities of these people, Lin Shuyue said nothing and quickly cut off the man's jaw. Then, with a flip of his wrist, he cut the tendons in his hands and feet.

After doing all this, ignoring the man's screams, she decisively turned around and killed the remaining three men in black in the ruined temple, and dealt with them quickly and efficiently.

The only sound left in the dilapidated temple was the leading man's heavy breathing.

Lin Shuyue looked in the direction where Gousheng was sleeping. Gousheng had woken up at some point. He covered his mouth tightly with his little hands and stared at everything that happened in the ruined temple with wide eyes.

Seeing her looking at him, Gousheng immediately smiled at her obediently with a smile on his face.

She couldn't help but curl her lips and smile, she was quite brave.

On the ground, Qingzhi forcefully pried open the man's mouth, took a look in the light of the fire, and then exclaimed, "Sir, there really is poison hidden in his teeth."

As he spoke, he used the tip of his sword to pick out a small poison pill from his teeth, and then clicked his jaw back into place.

"Okay." Qingzhi clapped his hands contentedly and stood up.

Lin Shuyue walked up to the man and looked down at him condescendingly.

"Tell me, who are you? Why did you capture Gousheng? What is your purpose?"

After walking for a while, Lin Shuyue closed her eyes and looked behind her. She soon opened her eyes, and a flash of coldness passed through her eyes.
