In front of the Daoxiang Temple, several birds rushing their wings and leaving in shock.

Ping An turned around and solemnly reminded Ah Huang: "Be obediently looking for food nearby, don't run away like last time, or you will cut the hair on your tail when you go back."

The hair of Ah Huang's tail was cut once before winter and used as a pen. However, after a long winter, it has grown very well now.

So for peace, spring is coming, it is a busy season for sowing and farming, but it is another season for harvest.

When Ping An saw Ah Huang nodding, he happily patted his neck and said, "Okay, go and come back in the evening."

Ah Huang chewed the grass stems and left slowly, while Ping An carried a cow-herding matter and shrank into the temple.

Daoxiang Temple is also called Gu Niang Temple. It is dedicated to Gu Niang, which is responsible for good weather, good harvests, prosperous livestock, and safe houses.

Of course, just like most temples, Gu Niang Temple is also a versatile temple. Good men and women sometimes seek marriage, children, fame and fortune.

However, it may be that the scale is too small after all, with only one temple building, and the image of the god statue is not very distinct, and there is not even a temple blessing, so the incense is not very popular. On the 15th day of the lunar month, if there are surplus food in several villages in the near and near, they will go up the mountain to worship.

Recently, it was the busy spring farming time, and the fields were too busy, so the incense on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month was less than during the slack farming period.

When I came into the temple safely, I felt that the temple was very deserted and not very comfortable.

There was a muddy cup on the incense table. The three incense sticks in the incense burner may have a poor texture. They were burned for a little and then turned off and were cold there.

Ping An often eavesdrops on outside a private school. When he was explaining the "Analects of Confucius", he once said that he respected ghosts and gods and was far away from him.

Ping An calmed his expression, walked to the statue, imitated the way the gentleman in the private school bowed, bent down and bowed respectfully: "Gun Gu, Ping An is polite. I have troubled you. You are a god and magnanimous, please don't be surprised."

After bowing and saying something to himself, he secretly glanced at the statue and felt that Gu Niang was acquiesced to stay here for a while.

In exchange for a while, Ping An thought that she should do Gu Niang a favor.

Since he was helping, he couldn't sit there. He thought about it, turned around and left the temple. When he came back, he had a few more pine branches in his hand.

Bind the pine branches with grass vines, make them into a broom, and then start cleaning.

There is no temple blessing in Gu Niang Temple. It is only the few simple cleanings that the nearby villagers cleaned up on the 1st and 15th day of the lunar month. Naturally, it will not be very clean.

It took Ping An a half hour to remove the dust on the incense table, the ground, the spider webs on the beams and pillars, and the few weeds emerging in the corners of the wall. After cleaning it, she washed the teacup on the incense table and presented three cups of clear spring water.

The clear spring is cold and sweet, and Ping An feels better than the village brew.

He had seen the village brew that the elders in the village drank. It looked very similar to the turbidity, and it smelled even more pungent. It was no match for the rice fragrant spring.

Finally, when he straightened the candlestick, Ping'an was so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist.

There was some broken charcoal in a basket in the corner of the wall, which might have been left by passers-by. He used dried mugwort as a guide to grill the broken charcoal and put it on fire.

But when he sat down, he always felt that something was missing. When he looked left and right, his eyes finally fell on the three extinguished cold incense sticks.

"So there is no incense."

Ping An had a thought, got up from the ground, and before he arrived at the desk, he bowed three times, then pulled out the cold incense, lit it again, bowed three times, and inserted it back into the incense burner.

Looking at the three wisps of blue smoke, it rose up, smelled the faint smell of incense, and leaned against the warm smell of hot charcoal, I relaxed and lingered in peace in my body. I felt as if I was soaked in a hot spring, so comfortable that I closed my eyes unconsciously.

Like the drizzle weaving, the clouds cleared, the sun rose, and the setting sun shone in the evening.

"Fuck Ping'an, I'm in a hurry, where are you going?"

"Ping An Herding Cattle hasn't come back yet."

"So you are looking for peace."

"Hosh, are you seeing Ping An?"

"The person didn't see him, but the cow was there. You go there quickly at the Gu Niang Temple."

But it was Ping'an's mother, Liang, who saw that it was getting late and there was no one in Ping'an, so she felt a little nervous. Now she heard that the old ox at home was at the Gu Niang Temple, and her heart was slightly relieved.

When she hurried to the hillside of Gu Niang Temple, she saw Ah Huang lying at the gate of the temple, rumination without mouthfuls. She took two steps at three steps and rushed into the temple to see Ping An lying on the charcoal fire, sleeping soundly, and then she relaxed in one breath.

Compared to Ping An once sleeping beside the grave while herding cattle, Liang was not too surprised when he was sleeping in the temple this time, but just sighed slightly: "This child is very broad and can sleep anywhere."

Liang stroked Ping'an's head pitifully and called out: "Ping, wake up, wake up, wake up?"

After calling this for a long time, Ping An woke up like a dream and opened his eyes: "Mom, why are you here?"

Liang patted Ping'an's shoulder and said, "You child, there is no place to sleep, and you ran to Gu Niang's temple. Fortunately, Gu Niang has a large number of great masters, so you don't care about children like you."

Liang said a word about peace, turned his head and said a few words to Gu Niang's statue, "I'm not sensible, please do you think Gu Niang has any doubts, and so on."

In Liang's eyes, she didn't understand the great principle of respecting ghosts and gods and distant things. She would rather believe in the existence of ghosts and gods than not.

After awakening Ping'an, she was afraid that something would happen, so she pulled Ping'an together, kowtowed and kowtowed, said all the good things, and then sorted out everything before leaving the Gu Niang Temple.

Ping'an followed his mother out of Gu Niang Temple and was blown outside by the wind. He became energetic. He hesitated for a moment and said to his mother: "Mom, I just had a dream."

This is not a good thing to dream in the temple. Liang frowned: "What dream?"

Ping An scratched his head that turned into a chicken coop when he just fell asleep and said, "I seemed to see the fairy sister in my dream."

Liang said strangely: "What fairy sister?"

Ping An thought of something, and there was a smile on his lips: "It was the fairy sister who helped me find Ah Huang and gave me a bag of silver."

Liang's heart trembled, but he was afraid that his son would be scared when he dealt too hard, so he tried to calm himself down and told him in his usual tone: "Don't mention Sister Ping'an Shenxian to others, do you know? Also, it's Gu Niang Temple, so you can't talk nonsense."

Ping An sniffed and said, "But I see, Gu Niang looks like a fairy sister."

Liang replied: "That's a dream, and it's not accurate."

Although she was also very grateful to the fairy sister Ping An mentioned, after all, she was the one who had saved her son, no matter how grateful she was, she could not say that God was like a human. Liang now just hopes that the child will speak without restraint and the strong wind will blow away.

"Is this really the case?" Ping An was obviously a little confused.

"You sleep in Gu Niang's temple, Gu Niang helps you shelter from the wind, rain and cold. You are blessed by Gu Niang. Tomorrow is the market, and we will go to the market together. The day after tomorrow, my mother will hold a pair of three animals, go to the temple to repay Gu Niang, and pray to Gu Niang for blessing your fairy sister."
