Night of the Wilderness Temple

1588 Words
The clear moonlight shone on the ground, and the desolate and gloomy front of the dilapidated temple amidst the desolate smoke and grass. Dong'er picked up her bundle and carefully pushed away the weeds that were about one person tall. Finally, she saw the ruins like entrance of the temple. She took a few steps forward and focused on looking inside. Under the moonlight, the temple appeared dark and messy, with dust and spider webs densely covering it. "Shouldn't it be possible to stay here?" She thought, staying here for a few nights before finding a place to live. As soon as she entered, her hair and clothes were all covered in sticky spider webs. She waved her hand a few times and couldn't help but mutter, "Can this be used for living?" There was a desk in front of her, which was messy. Yuluo took two steps and kicked something with her feet. She was startled and let out a loud scream. A rough man on the ground let out a mournful cry, "Oh my! Who is so wicked? Kick me like an old bone?" Someone sat up from the ground in the darkness, muttering a complaint. Surprisingly, someone? Or a man? Dong'er panicked and hugged her bundle, trying to escape, but was stopped by a voice from behind. "You don't need to apologize for kicking someone, little girl? Didn't your parents teach you?" Dong'er quickly calmed down and turned around, saying, "Who knew you were lying there?" "Sigh! You're quite impolite, little girl?" The man stood up, and a strong smell of alcohol hit her nose, making Dong'er furrow her nose and wave her hand vigorously. "I'm leaving, I'll see you soon!" Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an old drunkard. Dong'er glanced at the old man and immediately turned around. The man looked at her back and said, "Little girl, it's late at night. I don't think you have a man by your side, so it's not like eloping. It's likely you'll argue with your parents and run away from home." "You mind me!" Dong'er turned around and called out to him. "I'm too lazy to bother. I'm going to sleep. Stop kicking me and go find a place to sleep in the corner by myself." The man fell to his original position and immediately fell asleep, snoring with a flick of his finger. Dong'er was confused and frowned, muttering, "Can this person sleep too well?" She looked around a few times. It was already late at night and there was only some luggage left on her body, so she couldn't afford to stay at the inn. She leaned into the corner and walked over, put down her bag, curled up, and soon fell asleep. After a tiring day of sleep, I fell into a deep sleep. In my dream, my benefactor picked her up from the trap on the brink of death, took her home, and helped her apply medicine every day, taking care of her every day. I slept soundly but heard someone calling out to me. "Little girl, little girl..." Dong'er suddenly woke up in shock, her wrinkled face approaching her and she screamed in shock. "Ah..." She quickly bounced up, hugging the bundle and flashing to the side. "Who are you trying to scare?" The old man smiled and rubbed his head. "I'm worried that you're not breathing. If you die, they might accuse me." Dong'er glanced at him, but her heart was warm. She was a stranger, and this person still cares whether she's alive or dead? "Why not speak? Where are you going?" The old man raised his chin, worried that she might not be safe. Dong'er thought for a moment and confessed, "I don't have a place to go." "No place to go?" The old man looked at her in confusion, his heart spinning. "Are you really running away from home?" "I don't have a home, no parents." Dong'er pondered without hesitation. "Really?" The old man frowned with suspicion. "Really!" The old man rubbed his head and thought for a while. "Okay, come stay with me for a few days first. It's quite dangerous for a girl's house to be alone outside." Dong'er widened her eyes upon hearing this and didn't dare to say anything. "You have a place to live, why don't you go back?" The old man glanced at her and said, "You mind me!" He turned around and walked towards the temple entrance, feeling that no one had followed him. He turned around to look at her, who was stunned and said, "Are you going or not? Don't go down!" Dong'er quickly hugged the package and walked over, unable to believe that someone had taken her in like this?
