I really don't want to be a teacher

Lian Ge stood, listening to the rustling in his ears.

behind,

The middle-aged man who walked into the courtyard of the earth temple with incense sticks and paper money,

Then I stood by the gate of the courtyard, turned my head and looked around in the courtyard of the Earth Temple,

"...Lord of the land, don't blame me, don't blame me... I didn't have time yesterday afternoon, so I didn't come here... As soon as the rain stopped this morning, I came here to worship you..."

Moved his feet again, the middle-aged man walked a few more steps into the courtyard, respectfully walked towards the open hall, and muttered a few words,

Stopping again, looking at the yard, the middle-aged man was holding the incense sticks and paper money in the bag,

Stepping on the somewhat wet muddy ground in the yard, towards Lian Ge's side, he walked towards the old tree.

"...Grandpa Shu, I had something to do yesterday afternoon, and the priests in the village didn't come over... Now that the rain has stopped, I rushed over to offer incense to you..."

Walking to the tree, the middle-aged man stopped at the place where the villagers worshiped and burned incense and candles yesterday.

Squatting down again, I found a slightly dry place to put down the bag I was carrying,

While holding the joss paper money from the bag, he was chanting words.

Standing aside, Lian Ge listened to some voices in his ear,

He didn't look away, and didn't say anything.

Just looking up slightly, looking at the old tree,

On the top of the tree, the thinner branches and leaves were still slightly disturbed by the breeze blowing, and there were some sparse sounds.

"...Grandpa Shu, you and the land master have been neighbors for so many years, please help me talk to the land master, and help me accommodate..."

Next to him, the middle-aged man took out the joss stick paper money, and then took out the lighter, first lit the joss stick, then stuck the lit joss stick on the ground,

Holding another three sticks of incense, I lit the candle, stood up again, bowed respectfully to the aged tree, and said in my mouth,

"...I hope you, Grandpa Shu, will bless my parents with good health. I don't want to be like you, Grandpa Shu. I just want to live a long life..."

"...May my son be healthy and safe...my wife is also safe from illness..."

"... bless me to earn more money. When I have free time, I will also come to burn more incense for you and the land master..."

Respectfully speaking, after bowing, the middle-aged man stuck a few sticks of incense on the ground in front of the burning incense candle,

Then he got up and made a few bows, then bent down and put it aside, and picked up the bag containing the incense sticks and paper money again.

Carrying the bag, the middle-aged man moved his foot away again, then turned around and walked towards the main hall of the earth temple.

"This old man,"

Looking at the branches and leaves on the top of the aged tree in front of me, still shaking slightly with the breeze,

Lian Ge didn't turn his eyes away, just calmly, and called out to the middle-aged man,

"... lad?"

The middle-aged man couldn't help but paused, turned sideways, and looked at Lian Ge,

"I don't know, bro, can you lend me a stick of incense?"

Turning his gaze away, Lian Ge looked at the middle-aged man and said something aloud.

Hearing the sound, the middle-aged man couldn't help but stamped his feet again, looked at Lian Ge,

"...Young man, are you going to offer incense to Grandpa Shu?"

The middle-aged man paused, smiled again, and said with a smile,

"Young man, take it yourself."

Pulling open the plastic bag in his hand, handing it to Lian Ge, the middle-aged man said again.

"Thank you."

Glancing at the middle-aged man, Lian Ge didn't say much. He reached out and took out one of the incense sticks in the bag.

"Boy..."

Seeing Lian Ge take out a stick of incense, the middle-aged man couldn't help calling Lian Ge, hesitant to speak.

Lian Ge didn't answer any more, just took the incense stick, turned around again, and looked at the aged tree.

"It's not easy to live for such a long time. I also thank you for the two fruits, and I will give you a stick of incense as well."

Looking at the aged tree, Lian Ge said aloud, he didn't light any incense, but just stuck the incense on the ground in front of the tree.

On the top of this tree, the dense branches and leaves swayed slightly with the breeze, as if responding to Lian Ge's words.

Next to him, the middle-aged man watched Lian Ge's movements, and seemed to have heard Lian Ge's words,

Can't help opening his mouth again, as if he wanted to say something,

But he just shook his head and said nothing.

He took back the bag in his hand, turned around again, and then walked towards the main hall of the Earth Temple.

"...Boom!"

At this moment, on the top of the old tree, a branch thick as an arm seemed to be broken by the violent wind and rain last night. At this time, it was disturbed by the breeze,

The arm-thick fork fell straight from the dense branches and leaves, and just happened to hit the ground in front of the middle-aged man who was going into the hall,

In front of the middle-aged man,

"...Hoo...Grandpa Shu, you don't blame me for not coming over yesterday, do you..."

The middle-aged man was startled suddenly by the fork branch that fell in front of him and almost hit his head, he stopped his feet,

Waiting to come back to his senses, he took a deep breath and said aloud,

After taking a few more breaths, it seemed that he had calmed down. The middle-aged man opened his legs again, stepped over the forked branch in front of him, and was about to walk towards the hall again.

"Since he has blocked your way, you might as well wait a little longer."

Without turning his gaze away, Lian Ge looked at the aged tree in front of him, and said something calmly.

The foot just stepped couldn't help but stop, and the middle-aged man stood there for a while listening to Lian Ge's words,

Can't help turning back again, looking towards Lian Ge's side,

"...Young man, what do you mean by that..."

"Crack..."

The middle-aged man opened his mouth and was about to ask,

At this time, there was an overwhelmed voice behind him,

"...Boom..."

The middle-aged man couldn't help turning his head to look, and saw the main hall of the Earth Temple,

From the back of the eaves, it collapsed, and more than half of the hall collapsed.

Chapter 965 The Temple Falls, Incense Burns

The outer wall of the main hall near the courtyard cracked and some mottled wall ash on the wall collapsed, and the roof with wooden tiles made some harsh sounds and hit the ground.

The broken tiles mixed with some broken bricks and wall ash splashed, and then fell on the still wet ground in the yard.

The middle-aged man was frightened by this scene, he was stunned for a while,

Immediately afterwards, he waited until the outer wall had completely collapsed before he panicked and hurriedly stepped back a few steps.

"...this is... young man..."

The collapse of the hall gradually stopped.

From the original eaves to most of the main hall were turned into ruins, leaving only some broken walls, broken tiles and bricks piled up on the ground, broken planks,

And leaning against the inner side of the main hall, the wall for the statue of the land god is still barely standing, and on the top, the beams of the roof are still barely pressed on the ruined walls on both sides, and there are still some crumbling tiles.

There was also some splashed dust on the statue of the land god.

"...Young man, this is..."

Looking at the ruins of the Earth Temple in front of him, the middle-aged man panicked, and turned around in a hurry, as if he wanted to ask Lian Ge,

"... lad... lad..."

It's just that in the sight of the middle-aged man, he didn't see Lian Ge again.

"... What about people, how come you can't see them when you turn around...Young man, young man..."

Somewhat in a hurry and eagerness, the middle-aged man turned around, looked at the courtyard of the earth temple, and shouted loudly,

"... lad... lad..."

Called a few more times, looked around several times, the middle-aged man gradually stopped talking,

Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man paused again,

Looking at where Lian Ge was standing before,

On the ground, the stick of incense that Lian Ge had erected in front of the tree before, but was not lit,

At this time, a faint blue smoke is rising.

Looking at it, the middle-aged man opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

Turning around again, he looked at the collapsed ruins of the Earth Temple. The broken bricks and tiles that collapsed forward and covered part of the yard happened to stop not far from the branch that was lying in front of him.

Looking at it, the middle-aged man lowered his head again, looked at the bag of joss paper money in his hand,

"...almost, almost..."

The place where the futons were originally placed in the main hall has also been submerged by broken walls and broken tiles.

Looking at the ruins again, the middle-aged man's eyes showed some fear, and he couldn't help trembling.

"……thanks, thanks……"

It was whispering at first, followed by the voice of the middle-aged man gradually getting louder,

"...Grandpa Tree has appeared, and I even met a real god...Grandpa Tree has appeared!"

"...Thank you Grandpa Shu...Thank you Grandpa Shu for saving me..."

In a hurry, the middle-aged man turned around again, knelt down on the muddy ground in the wet yard, kowtowed to the old tree,

"...Thank you, thank you Daoist, thank you God for saving me..."

Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man was grateful again, and kowtowed to where Lian Ge was standing before.

"...Old Chen, Lao Chen, are you here?"

"...Old Chen, what's the matter...Are you okay, Old Chen..."

At this moment, it seemed that in that village, several villagers ran over, holding hoes and farm tools in their hands,

"... At the entrance of the village, when I heard such a big movement here, I saw the earth temple collapsed... I saw you coming here just now, so I hurried over to have a look...Old Chen, what's wrong? Are you okay..."

"...Maybe it was affected by the rain last night. The wind was so strong last night that the rain was like pouring down with a ladle... The Earth Temple has been around for a few years, and it collapsed if it couldn't bear it...I'm fine. I'm fine..."

"...Almost, almost, I went in with a joss stick...Grandpa Tree appeared...I even met a real fairy...If it wasn't, if it wasn't..."

"...Thank you, Grandpa Shu, for your blessing, thank you, Grandpa Tree, for your blessing..."

"...Old Chen, you are really lucky..."

"...Some time ago, Uncle Dong and the village were discussing that they were going to renovate the Earth Temple... This is just right..."

"...I'll pay some money too..."

"...Old Chen, you should pay some money...haha..."

……

Walking out of the courtyard of the earth temple, Lian Ge walked to the side of the slope road at the entrance of the village,

Watching the passersby at the entrance of the village hurried towards the earth temple.

Lian Ge followed the village road and passed through the village in front of the mountain.
