The ancestor is here, she is here with space

The officials walked into the dilapidated temple cautiously and looked around carefully.

They frowned, very dissatisfied with the dilapidated temple covered with dust and cobwebs, but there was nothing they could do.

One of the officers walked up to the leader and asked in a low voice: "Sir, what should we do now?"

The leading officer snorted coldly and replied: "What else can we do? This is our only place to stay!"

After saying this, he waved his hand to signal the other officers to enter the ruined temple.

Holding torches, the crowd drove the prisoners in.

The dilapidated temple was filled with an old and decayed atmosphere. The dim firelight flickered, illuminating the tired and helpless faces of the prisoners.

Lin Congyun stood quietly at the temple gate, staring at the desolate scene inside the house.

She couldn't help but sigh deeply, wondering in her heart whether she could find something useful in her own space to improve her current predicament.

After all, spending the night in such a dilapidated temple with drafts everywhere would make it very easy for everyone to catch a cold, especially the young and weak children who could hardly withstand the cold.

Thinking of this, Lin Congyun decided to let everyone drink more spiritual spring water to enhance their body resistance.

At the same time, she began to search her mind for items that might come in handy, hoping to use these things to get through this difficult night.

Just then, Nanny Bai came over, bringing a few thick quilts and some simple food.

"Grandfather, fill your stomach first. If you need anything else, I will bring it to you."

Lin Congyun said to Aunt Bai: "Aunt, please prepare some hot soup and bring some charcoal fire."

Nanny Bai nodded and hurried to prepare.

The night was getting darker and the wind outside was getting stronger.

Lin Congyun looked at the shivering Li Hongsui and others, and quickly lit the charcoal after Nanny Bai brought it.

Suddenly, the dilapidated temple became warm.

"Everyone, please get closer so you can stay warmer." Lin Congyun said softly.

After a while, Aunt Bai came in with a bowl of steaming hot soup. "Everyone, come and drink some hot soup to warm your body."

Lin Congyun took the bowl of soup, blew it gently, and drank it. Although the taste of the soup was simple, it made her feel extremely warm.

After drinking the hot soup, Lin Congyun asked Aunt Bai, "Have you arranged for the guards outside and the people from Huangjia Village?"

Nanny Bai replied, "Everything has been arranged, don't worry, old ancestor."

Lin Congyun nodded, "That's good, let everyone take turns to keep watch and pay attention to safety."

Nanny Bai responded and went to make arrangements.

It was late at night, and except for the people who were on night watch, everyone else gradually fell asleep.

Lin Congyun leaned against the wall and closed his eyes, but couldn't fall asleep.

She was thinking about tomorrow's weather. If the wind was still so strong, it would be difficult to walk on the road.

Suddenly, she heard a slight sound of footsteps and immediately opened her eyes and became alert.

I saw a dark figure quietly approaching a sleeping prisoner with a dagger in his hand.

Lin Congyun was shocked and immediately realized that someone was trying to take advantage of the opportunity to commit a crime.

She stood up quietly and approached the shadow.

Just as the black shadow was about to attack, Lin Congyun suddenly made a move and snatched the dagger from his hand.

The black shadow was startled and turned around to escape, but was grabbed by the collar by Lin Congyun.

"Tell me! Who are you? Why did you want to assassinate this person?" Lin Congyun asked sternly.

The black shadow struggled to break free from Lin Congyun's hand, but Lin Congyun was so strong that he couldn't break free at all.

"Have mercy! I am just following orders. Please spare my life!" the black shadow begged.

At this moment, the night watchmen heard the noise and rushed over. When they saw Lin Congyun caught someone, they immediately surrounded him.

"Officers, this man wants to assassinate the criminal!" Lin Congyun explained to the officers.

When the officers heard this, they immediately became nervous and drew their swords, surrounding the black shadow.

When the black shadow saw this, a look of horror appeared on his face. He knew that he was really in trouble this time.

Lin Congyun handed the dagger used by the assassin to an officer, who then took the black shadow away. Lin Congyun did not know what happened next.

Lin Congyun looked at the black figure being taken away, and a chill rose in his heart.

Who would brave such a strong wind to come and assassinate someone?

Moreover, the man who was assassinated was just a butcher. It seemed that he was exiled because he accidentally crippled someone.

What's so good about this assassination?

Lin Congyun glanced at the butcher, not knowing whether he was frightened silly or stunned, he collapsed on the ground, looking at the receding black shadow with horror on his face.

Lin Congyun shook his head, didn't think any more, turned around and walked back.

Just as Lin Congyun turned to leave, discussions broke out in the ruined temple. Everyone was shocked and puzzled by the sudden assassination.

The discussions in the dilapidated temple became louder and louder, breaking the originally quiet night.

Those exiled criminals had already lost hope in life, and now witnessed such a thrilling assassination with their own eyes, their hearts were filled with anxiety and fear.

"Why would anyone want to kill him?"

"This is really strange. Who would come here specifically to assassinate someone?"

"Yes, I heard that he was exiled because he accidentally maimed someone."

Amid the discussions among the crowd, the butcher was still slumped on the ground, as if he had lost his soul.

At this time, the official's voice sounded, "You are so energetic, do you want to start your journey now?"

After hearing this, the discussions in the dilapidated temple immediately subsided and everyone retreated to their corners.

Suddenly, a voice as subtle as the buzz of a mosquito sounded softly beside Lin Congyun's ears, "Grandma, that man, why was he assassinated?"

It was Fang Xinyu, his childish face was filled with the curiosity and confusion that are unique to children.

Lin Congyun gently stroked Fang Xinyu's head, squatted down, faced Fang Xinyu's clear eyes, and tried to speak in a calm tone: "Xinyu, there are some things that we cannot understand. Maybe it's because the butcher offended someone, or maybe there are other reasons. But what is the truth? We have to figure out the whole story before we can know."

Fang Xinyu nodded as if she understood, but the curiosity and confusion in her eyes had not completely disappeared.

Lin Congyun knew in his heart that such an explanation might be too abstract and complicated for a child.

She decided to change her approach so that Fang Xinyu could understand more easily.

"Grandma, let me tell you a story."

Fang Xinxin and Fang Xinyue, who were nestling in their mothers' arms, heard that Lin Congyun was going to tell a story and said they wanted to sit next to Lin Congyun.
