Li Zhuo looked at the half of the ancestral tablet. Its upper half was already charred, while the remaining half bore the faint trace of a surname. Li Zhuo called out, "Big Brother, what's the use of staring at a broken tablet? We should be figuring out where to shelter these two instead."
Hearing this, Li Qiu turned back. After a moment of thought, he said to the old man and the child, "The yin energy here is quite heavy and bad for your health. You should go find a place to settle down first."
A look of difficulty crossed the old man's face. "To tell the truth, Benefactor, the two of us don't have a single copper coin to our names. There is a rundown temple at the west end of the town, but it's full of beggars who don't take kindly to strangers. We tried going in once and got chased out. Only this ancestral hall is free of trouble."
