Chapter 25 Temple of the Dead
One day and night, Wanli leaned against the head of the bed, touching the Braille and reading the book, and suddenly heard someone knocking outside the door.
It's already late at night, why would anyone come to the door?
"Here you come" Wan Wei put the book against the corners of the two walls, and stood up while touching her shoes.
The door opened, and he stood far away from the door.
"I hope I didn't disturb you to rest..." Daoyuan looked inside the house, and felt relieved after seeing the book in the corner of the wall.
In fact, Wan Wei was about to finish reading that side and then go to bed, but she still smiled and waved her hand to comfort her and said that she was reading a book before she could rest.
Daoyuan stood outside the door and had no sound for a long time. Wan Li looked out and said, "Is there anything wrong?"
Daoyuan's face was very heavy, "...What I said may be a bit unreasonable in a while, but please consider it."
Wan Li nodded and said casually, "Okay, you said"
"I know a businessman who is now 60 years old but has no children so far. Although he is not rich, he has a lot of savings. He owed me a favor and has not paid it back yet. I plan to send you to be his adopted daughter. Everything in the future will be yours. There is only one condition that is to leave tonight."
"Daoyuan...hahaha" Wan Wei laughed while covering her stomach, "What are you kidding?"
"Listen to me, you must leave tonight, otherwise..." Daoyuan was anxious and said something later.
Wanli paused and told him seriously, "I am an orphan. I was the abbot since I was a child and pulled me to the top. In my heart, the abbot is my father. I, Li Wanli, will no longer be a father in my life."
Seeing Wanmei saying so firmly, Daoyuan showed a sad expression. He swallowed his saliva and red eyes, "Since you have made up your mind, stay if you want to stay."
After saying that, Daoyuan turned around and left, leaving Wan Li standing alone by the door.
"It's so strange," she closed the door.
The heavy snow in Yucheng took many days to come, and the steps in Qingguan Temple were covered by layers of white snow.
Chen Chi is responsible for the cleaning work in the temple. In Chen Chi's opinion, it is not a tiring task to sweep the dust on weekdays, but when it encounters such heavy snow... it is really annoying. He sat alone on the steps, his eyes were full of grayness, which made him feel hurt.
"Chen Chi?" Wan Li walked out of the house and happened to hear Chen Chi sighing on the steps.
The ice skating on the eve of the past was still accumulated on the surface of the steps, which made the steps very slippery. Li Wanyu leaned on a crutch and had to hold the wall and carefully poke out his toes to test the road ahead. After stepping on it, he moved over his body and then took the next step.
Chen Chi immediately turned around when she heard Sister Feng'er's voice. Seeing Wanli frown after she came out of the room, she turned her head and rushed forward and supported her, "Sister Feng'er, be careful." Li Wanli felt that he also grabbed Chenchi's arm tightly.
Sister Yu'er's eyes were not good, and Chen Chi was afraid of something missing and was careful to help Wanli walk down the ground from the steps before breathing a sigh of relief.
Chen Chi turned around and looked at the road that Wan Wei walked by, and became scared. The little man became angry because of it. "It was so dangerous just now. Do you know that the stone was covered with skating and fell and injured?"
In such a cold weather, Li Wanwei only wore a thin dress, not because she had no clothes.
Last time, a noble young master sent someone to send many winter clothes to the temple, including women's clothing. However, although I took them away, I gave them these clothes to the wandering girl, and I also specially looked for women in my early thirties.
"How can you spend the winter if you don't wear those clothes and lean on these thin clothes and ragged cloth?" While speaking, he was angry and draped his coat on Sister Yu'er's shoulder. "I'm going to be stupid when I stay in the room to read books all day!"
Wanli crossed his hands and closed his coat, lowered his head and smiled warmly.
This child likes to ‘educate’ himself, and although he always doesn’t listen to his words, he really cares about it.
The coldness of winter kept pounced on her cheeks and her face turned red with a late chill. "Did you see the abbot?"
Chen Chi was also surprised when she was asked this, "I haven't seen her, I'll ask Vina on your behalf, maybe he knows."
"No need" Wan Li grabbed the arm that was about to leave, "I haven't gone out for many days and am just about to walk around."
Chen Chi bent down and picked up the broom in the snow, and sighed as Li Wanli slowly moved away.
Today's temples are a little different, but they can't say that they are different from each other. Perhaps it's because it's not time to recite the Buddhist scriptures yet, or perhaps it's because the weather outside is too cold, and there are fewer walking monks in the temple and lesser speaking voices.
All I felt was the cold air coming from my face and countless loneliness.
Li Wanli walked towards the temple.
As usual, she easily found the door of the room where Vina lived. When she pushed open the wooden door, Wan Wei clearly felt the thing behind the door. Something leaned against the door and blocked her push.
It was not a very heavy thing, so Wan Li pushed it hard, and the person behind the door moved the object aside, and the door creaked and pushed it open.
She stood outside the threshold and leaned inside and shouted, "Vina--" "Are you here in Vina?"
Usually Vina will definitely respond after two sounds, but this time it doesn't.
Vina is not a playful person who will not leave the temple at will. There is no morning class at this time, so where will it be if you are not in the house...
Instead of walking in, she pulled the door directly. The wooden door was stuck when the door was about to touch the door railing.
"Strange..." Wan Li squatted down with the wooden door, stretching his hands forward to reach the things behind the door.
The soft touch is clearly the human skin.
Wanli touched the pendant that Vina often wore on her neck. It was the jade pendant given to him by Vina when she first entered the temple. There was a hole in the jade that should have been round. This hole was accidentally broken by Wanli last year.
How could Vina fall here... Li Wanxiu reached out to push his body, but Vina let her push her, but she didn't react at all...
"Vina!!" Something was wrong, and Li Wanxu pushed him hard and called him.
A man tiptoed toward Li Wan from behind, his face covered, and his hand behind him tightly held a sharp dagger. The dagger had long been stained red with blood. The blood stain was still falling down bit by bit.
Li Wanmi focused all his attention on the ground, not paying any attention to the evil man approaching behind him.
The man's shadow fell on Li Wanli's body, and the black shadow wrapped her up.
His eyes were covered with blood, showing a terrible and cruel expression. He suddenly raised the dagger in his hand, and the dagger in the air reflected a silver-red light.
