074 “Blessing from Heavenly Official” Chapter 73

☆、Chapter 73: Everything in the world meets flowers in the rain 2

Xie Lian thought of something and said softly “Hey”.

That face covered with layers of bandages inevitably reminded him of the child he met three years ago.But he wasn’t sure.Thinking pessimistically, after escaping down Taicang Mountain alone, can the child really live another three years?

At this time, the young man came over, stood on tiptoes, took off the flowers in the hands of the clay statue, and replaced them with the bunch in his own hand.Xie Lian was sitting on the altar and could clearly see that the newly replaced flowers had more delicate, plump and juicy petals, and a more fragrant fragrance. They must have been picked just now.Could it be that he came to this humble temple every day to put a bouquet of freshly picked flowers on the left hand of the clay statue?

Moreover, after presenting the flowers, the young man stood under the clay statue of the prince, clasped his hands together and prayed silently. He did not kneel down indiscriminately like others, but he really listened to Xie Lian’s words.

Three years.There are so many believers who have paid homage to Xie Lian, including dignitaries, celebrities, and amazing talents. However, the one who makes Xie Lian truly feel “careful” is such a child of only 12 or 13 years old.Moreover, he was a poorly dressed child who would not fit into those gorgeous golden temples, so he could only come to this grassroots temple to worship.

I really don’t know what it feels like.

At this time, there was a sound of treading water at the entrance of the temple, and a group of children holding umbrellas ran past playfully.Initially, Xie Lian thought they were just passing by, but unexpectedly, after these teenagers ran over, they ran back again, as if they had discovered something extraordinary, and clapped their hands and said: “Wow, wow, wow, the ugly monster has been driven out again!”

This group of teenagers were about the same age as the young believer in the temple, but they were all taller than him. They seemed to have been well-raised by their parents.Probably because the festival is approaching, everyone is wearing new clothes and new shoes.They were treading water at the gate of the temple, with innocent and lively smiles, without any malice. It seemed that they didn’t think “ugly” was a bad word, nor did they think their words were hurtful. They really just thought it was fun to call them that.The young man clenched his fist, but the fist was too small and had no deterrent effect. He shouted outside the door: “The ugly monster is going to sleep in the temple again today. Be careful when you get home and your mother will beat you to death!”

Xie Lian frowned.One of the young man’s eyes exposed under the bandage was covered with bloodshot eyes. He raised his fist and roared: “I have no home!! I have no mother! She is not my mother! Get out of here! Get out of here! If you call me again, I will beat you to death!!!”

But those children were confident and stuck out their tongues and said, “If you dare to hit us, be careful we tell your father and let him teach you a lesson.”

Some winked and said, “Yes, you don’t have a mother, because your mother doesn’t want you. You don’t have a family either, and your family members despise you. So you can only live in this ruined temple…”

At this point, the young man suddenly shouted and rushed over.

Although he was small, he was very powerful. He yelled so loudly that several children were frightened and wanted to run away. However, the young man who was struggling with him shouted: “What are you afraid of? There are many of us!” Then they all came back and tried to pull him and beat him.Xie Lian couldn’t stand it anymore. With a wave of his hand, a sudden strange force in the air separated the two groups of children.Immediately, an extremely powerful splash of water flew up from the ground, causing the group of teenagers to fight in a row.

After all, he was a child. He was thrown weirdly for no reason, drank another mouthful of muddy water, and all his new clothes were soaked. He became dirtier and uglier than the object of their ridicule. He suddenly changed from laughing to crying. He got up from the ground, cried and grabbed an umbrella and ran away.

Xie Lian shook his head.He is a mighty warrior god, slaying evil spirits and monsters, and ensuring safe travels. This is the first time he has intervened in such a dispute between children. Even if he drives away the bad party, he has no sense of accomplishment at all.He turned back to look at the young man, slightly startled.

In the chaos, half of the bandage on the young man’s head was torn off, and half of his exposed face was bruised and swollen. It was obvious that he had not been beaten just now.Before Xie Lian had time to take a closer look, he wrapped the bandage without saying a word, hugged his knees, and sat at the feet of the clay statue.

Xie Lian came to this Prince’s Temple with the original intention of being close, summoning Feng Xin and Mu Qing here, and delivering orders to discuss important matters. Unexpectedly, when he met such a child, he couldn’t help but become concerned. After issuing the summons, he knelt down and stared at him.After squatting for a while, the young man heard a growling sound from his stomach.There were a few fruit snacks on the offering plate. Although they looked shriveled and not very tasty, they were better than nothing.Xie Lian chose one and threw it lightly on him.

The boy was hit by the fruit, and he suddenly held his head in his hands and huddled up in a ball, showing a defensive posture, as if what was thrown at him was a stone, and more stones would hit him soon.After looking around for a long time, he found that it was just a fruit and there was no other person present. He hesitated for a moment, picked up the fruit, wiped it on his clothes twice, and put it back on the offering plate. He would rather go hungry than eat the offerings on the plate.

Then, he walked to the door and looked at the heavy rain outside the temple, as if he wanted to go find something to eat.But the rain was too heavy and I didn’t want to get wet anymore, so I came back and curled up at the feet of the clay statue and fell asleep.

At this time, Feng Xin and Mu Qing arrived after receiving orders.The two of them walked out from behind the temple. Feng Xin said depressedly: “Your Highness, where did you find such a small Prince’s Temple? Why are you delivering orders here?” When he lowered his head, he suddenly saw a group of people huddled on the ground. He almost stepped on them and blurted out: “Why the hell is there a child here?!”

Mu Qing also lowered her head, took a closer look, and immediately asked: “Your Highness, is this the child who ran away from Taicang Mountain three years ago?”

Xie Lian shook his head: “I’m not sure. I don’t know his name or what his face looks like.”

The three of them spoke a few words around an unconscious child. The boy tossed and turned on the ground, wiped his face, and found blood on the corners of his mouth, nose, and mouth.Seeing this, Xie Lian felt more and more unable to let him lie down anymore, and said: “Let this child leave first. It’s getting dark, and this temple is not a good place to spend the night.”

Feng Channel: “Does he have nowhere to go? If so, I’m afraid he can only spend the night here.”

Xie Lian said: “He has a home, but the home may not be very good. But the temple is not good either. We must leave first before we can find food for him. The child is still injured.”

Mu Qing said: “Your Highness, with all due respect, I have no time to care about such trivial matters now. You summoned us, but what decision have you made?”

There has never been a priest who went to heaven who accepted the prayers of all believers.It should be noted that there are tens of thousands of believers in the world, and everyone is in charge. It is annoying and annoying to death. Therefore, sometimes one turns a blind eye and pretends not to hear some trivial or subtle prayers, which can save a lot of trouble.However, Xie Lian is probably too young and energetic, and has not yet recognized this kind of flexibility.He thought for a while, then walked outside the small temple with the umbrella given by the passerby.

Xie Lian slowly opened the umbrella, and raindrops pattered on the umbrella surface.When the young man on the ground heard the sound, he thought someone was approaching and moved slightly.But maybe he thought it was none of his business if someone came, so he lay back down again.Xie Lian put the open umbrella at the door. The young man heard that the sound had not disappeared. He was probably surprised at last. When he got up and came out, he saw a red umbrella leaning on the ground in the rain, like a solitary red flower in bloom. He was immediately stunned.

Seeing the young man rushing over and holding the umbrella, he said admiringly: “Your Highness, this is enough. If you do it too obviously for him to find out, it will create too many complications.”

Unexpectedly, before Xie Lian could answer, the young man rushed back and shouted loudly behind them: “His Royal Highness!”

The three of them were startled and looked back.I saw the young man holding an umbrella, with red eyes, extremely excited, raising his head and shouting to the clay statue: “His Royal Highness! Is that you?!”

Feng Xin didn’t know that Xie Lian had helped him drive away a group of children before, and even lost the fruit. He said curiously: “This kid is quite smart, and he discovered it.” Mu Qing seemed to have guessed the prospect, and glanced at Xie Lian.

The young man said: “If you are here, please answer me a question!”

While sitting on the high altar, Xie Lian would hear “Please show your spirit” countless times every day.If you listen to any sound too much, you will become numb.However, whenever he hears such a sound, he can’t help but pay attention to it and stop for it.Mu Qing reminded from the side: “Your Highness, don’t worry about it.”

Thank you for your pity without saying a word.The young man held the umbrella tightly with both hands and gritted his teeth and said, “I’m in pain! I wish I could die every day. I want to kill everyone in the world and then myself! I live in pain!”

A child of 12 or 13 years old shouting these words loudly, this scene is probably really ridiculous and pitiful.However, there was something explosive in that small body, which supported his anger and roar.

Feng Xin frowned and said: “What’s wrong with him? Killing everyone in this world, is this what a child would say?”

Mu Qing said calmly: “It’s just too young. When he grows up, he will know that what he is experiencing now is nothing.”

After a pause, he looked at Xie Lian and said: “There are too many suffering people in this world. Let’s talk about the Yong’an drought. Which Yong’an person is not more miserable than him. Your Highness does not need to care. Just do what you need to do.”

Xie Lian whispered: “Maybe.”

One person’s pain may be nothing more than a trivial annoyance to another person.

The young man looked up at him. One of his eyes was very red, but he did not shed tears. He held an umbrella in one hand and stretched out the other hand to grab the hem of the clay statue. He asked: “Why am I still alive in the world? What is the meaning of living?”

There was silence for a long time, and no one responded. The young man seemed to have expected this result, and slowly lowered his head.

Unexpectedly, suddenly, a voice broke the silence and sounded above him: “If you don’t know how to live, then live for me.”

Feng Xin and Mu Qing, who were beside Xie Lian, did not expect that he would really answer, and it was still this kind of answer. They both stared wide-eyed and said: “…Your Highness?!”

The young man raised his head suddenly, but saw no one. He only heard a soft and ethereal voice coming from the clay statue:

“I don’t know how to answer the question you asked. However, if you don’t know the meaning of your life, then you might as well regard me as that meaning.”

Feng Xin and Mu Qing’s faces were split. They both stretched out their hands to block Xie Lian’s mouth and shouted: “Stop talking, Your Highness! You have violated the rules! You have violated the regulations!”

Before being covered by them, Xie Lian rushed to shout again: “Thank you for the flowers! They are beautiful, I like them very much!”

The author has something to say: This umbrella is not the one Huahua took later.The top of Huahua’s handle can block a mountain of knives, and the bottom can pass through a frying pan. It is an exclusive hand-made custom-made weapon made of special materials, and is a powerful weapon for killing gods.
