Chapter 8: Ruined Earth Temple
Ji Zhao shrugged weakly. In the end, she squatted back in the corner and took a tree branch to seriously write and draw.
From the looks of it, the Shen family would not forgive her easily.
Therefore, she had to think of a way to find a place to stay as soon as possible.
Yesterday, when she went to the back of the mountain to gather pigweed, she saw a short and simple Earth Temple.
Moreover, the Earth Temple was not too far from the Shen residence. It was only about 2 to 2.5 kilometers away.
Ji Zhao was a woman of action. After she made her decision, she immediately set off for the Earth Temple.
Therefore, when Zhao Lanhua was about to bring a bowl of chicken soup to Ji Zhao, she was no longer outside the courtyard.
“Mother?” Second Sister-in-law Shen, who had eaten her fill, held her stomach and walked to the door. “Has Ji Ah Tao left?”
“She must have left.”
“What about the remaining chicken soup? Can I have it?”
“You’ve already drunk two big bowls!” Zhao Lanhua looked at her angrily. “Do you have to eat until you’re full to be satisfied?”
“Mother, it’s your grandson who wants to eat, not me.” Second Sister-in-law Shen looked away guiltily and pouted.
“I’ll ask your eldest sister-in-law to make some noodles with the rest of the chicken soup at noon!”
“Alright!” bender
Zhao Lanhua said a few more words before leaving with the basket on her back.
Now that the year was not good, she had arranged to meet her neighbor, Sister Guihua, a few days ago to go to the back mountain to find some edible mountain goods.
“Sister Guihua?”
“Coming!” Sister Guihua, who was feeding the chickens, heard a familiar voice and hurriedly replied before rushing out of the courtyard.
“Something so big happened to your family yesterday. I thought you had forgotten!” Sister Guihua held her arm affectionately and asked with a smile, “Sister Lanhua, your Sanlang is definitely going to divorce Ji Ah Tao, right? If you ask me, that Ji Ah Tao is too seductive. Isn’t this old saying good? Beautiful women are too restless!”
Zhao Lanhua silently glanced at Sister Guihua, whose face was filled with freckles and had narrow eyes. She said with a faint smile, “You can’t be so absolute. There are many beautiful women in this world. You can’t overturn a boatload of people with one strike.”
“Tsk! I’m not talking about you. Don’t take it to heart!”
“Alright, alright. Don’t I know you?” Zhao Lanhua quickly said, “Let’s hurry up and go to the mountain to take a look. If we’re late, I’m afraid we won’t be able to find anything.”
“Alright!” The two of them quickened their pace and hurried in the direction of the back mountain.
At the same time, Ji Zhao had already arrived at the simple Earth Temple.
She arched her back and walked in, only to choke on the dust.
Cough cough!
After a careful look, she realized that the size of this temple was not small. It was at least ten square meters.
It was just too short, only about 1.5 meters tall.
Ji Atao, who was 1.65 meters tall, had to bend over to move around the temple.
Ji Zhao first helped the statue of the Earth God up, then knelt down respectfully and kowtowed three times.
“Earth God, I am your devotee, Ji Zhao. I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you during this period of time. Don’t worry, I won’t stay for nothing,” Ji Zhao said sincerely. “I’ll clean the entire temple later. When I’m more wealthy in the future, I’ll offer you delicious food. If I become the richest woman, I’ll even mold a golden body for you!”
