Jiang Chen did not see Chen Hui's abnormality, but walked towards Xiao Yue'er and put the ten cents in his hand, together with the one tael of silver he took out earlier, into Xiao Yue'er's hand.
"Your name is Xiaoyue'er, right? Take this money and hurry up to get medicine for grandpa to see a doctor!"
Jiang Chen said softly.
"Brother, this is not my money."
Xiao Yue'er picked out a tael of silver and handed it to Jiang Chen.
"Ten cents is not enough to buy medicine, so how about this? I'll borrow this money from you, and you can pay it back to me when you have money later, okay?"
Jiang Chen smiled and said.
"Then...that's fine!"
"Even if I borrowed this money from my elder brother, I will definitely pay it back to you when I earn the money."
"Big brother, what's your name? Where do you live?"
Xiao Yue'er asked.
"My name is Jiang Chen. I live in Yunhua Inn now. If I don't leave in the future, I will open a Taoist temple here."
Jiang Chen replied.
Because he has found out in the past few days that there are no Taoist temples, no temples, no shrines, or even warriors in Yueling County. There are just ordinary ordinary people who are extremely ordinary.
And this place is also a completely faithless place!
However, we also know here that Taoist temples, temples, temples, monks, Taoist priests, warriors and the like are not completely isolated from the world and have no information.
So if he wanted to stay, he could fill the gap and open a Taoist temple, not to make money, but to have a temporary place to stay.
"Okay, I remember, goodbye big brother!"
Xiao Yue'er nodded vigorously, then smiled sweetly and said.
"goodbye!"
Jiang Chen waved his hand and responded.
Then he turned around and left without even looking at Chen Hui!
But he didn't know that both Chen Hui and some of the onlookers were looking at his leaving back with unkind expressions.
The remaining bystanders were deathly silent, with deep fear reflected in their pupils.
"It always feels weird!"
Jiang Chen looked around, always feeling like someone was spying on him secretly.
It's quite possible. He can basically do nothing with his Taoist skills. Fortunately, he still has a lot of brute force, so he can easily deal with the melon dealer Chen Hui.
If you try too hard today and still lose, it will really be a shame!
If not, you might even get beaten up!
It can be seen from this that even if you are acting chivalrously, you should not be hot-headed and just do what you say. You still have to make a decision before taking action and think twice before taking action!
…………
Three days later.
When Jiang Chen left Yunhua Inn again and went to the blacksmith shop to get a weapon, he saw a little girl who was dirty, dressed in tatters, and with tearful eyes.
Behind her was a broken straw mat, on which lay an old man who was skinny, stiff and had been dead for a long time.
Next to the little girl stood a piece of rag with the four characters "Sell your body to bury your father" written on it.
This little girl turned out to be Xiao Yue'er who Jiang Chen helped out that day.
"Xiao Yue'er is so pitiful!"
"Yes, this child's parents died when he was young, and he lived with his grandfather. Now his grandfather is also dead!"
"According to me, it's all because the doctor at the medical center was so unconscionable. If he hadn't taken the wrong medicine, Xiaoyue'er's grandfather wouldn't have died so quickly!"
"That's right, Xiaoyue'er's grandfather has been sick for so long and there is no fear of his life. How come he has money to buy medicine and see a doctor but he dies?!"
"I heard that Li Miaoshou from Huichun Medical Center took a fancy to the one tael of silver in Xiao Yue'er's hand, so he deliberately prescribed a lot of tonics to kill Xiao Yue'er's grandfather!"
"It's too weak to make up for it!"
"..."
It was still the same group of people watching, whispering and chattering, but no one reached out to help.
There are not many people in the small county, and they are all from the neighborhood. A little girl’s grandfather died, and two warm-hearted men randomly came in. Why can’t they even bury an old man?!
"Xiaoyue'er, let me help you put grandpa to rest in peace!"
Jiang Chen walked through the crowd, walked up to Xiao Yue'er, and spoke.
"Brother Jiang Chen!"
Xiao Yue'er raised her head and saw that sunny smiling face.
Jiang Chen pulled the straw mat, and Xiao Yue'er followed behind him. The two went to the coffin shop to buy a coffin, and by the way, they bought shrouds, incense candles, yellow paper and other things at the nearby Zhibao shop.
Then he rented a carriage and pulled the coffin to the outskirts. With a lot of brute strength, Jiang Chen quickly dug a big pit, moved the coffin into the pit, and buried it with soil.
Xiao Yue'er knelt in front of her grandfather's grave and cried so hard that when the paper money was burned, she kowtowed three times and then got up.
"Brother Jiang Chen, thank you!"
"I really don't know how to thank you. I am willing to sell myself to you!"
"I can cook and wash clothes. When I grow up, I can also be your wife!"
"I...I'm pretty good-looking, but my grandpa won't let me wash my face because he's afraid that I'll be bullied."
Xiao Yue'er walked up to Jiang Chen and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito with a blushing face.
"Cough cough cough!"
Jiang Chen coughed twice when he heard this and was almost shocked. He really didn't know what this little kid was thinking.
"Xiao Yue'er, don't think so wildly, you will be my sister from now on."
Jiang Chen smiled awkwardly and said.
He originally wanted to reject Xiao Yue'er and never have anything to do with her again, but when he thought about it carefully, a little girl was helpless and lonely. The people around her were selfish and indifferent, without any sympathy. He rejected her and left her.
, no doubt let her die!
"Xiao Yue'er is eleven or twelve years old this year. Maybe she can play with Chang Ming and Chang Yao. When I leave Yueling Valley, I will take her with me. She will grow up happily in Chunyang Taoist Temple."
"Right now, I have no energy or magic power, so I can't detect whether she has any qualifications for martial arts or Taoism."
"If she has it, let her practice martial arts and Taoism. If she doesn't, you can also help her find a suitable husband when she grows up."
"Ordinary people in the Xianxia world generally get married early and have children early. In four to five years, Xiao Yue'er may be getting married."
Jiang Chen thought in his heart.
He drove a carriage and took Xiao Yue'er out of the suburbs and headed straight for the inner city of Yueling County.
After they left, Grandpa Xiaoyue'er's grave suddenly opened, and there were bursts of strange noises coming from the coffin. The sounds were thick and violent.
…………
On the way back to Yueling County, Jiang Chen learned from Xiao Yue'er that there was an abandoned Taoist temple in Yueling County. It would be nice to spend some money to repair it.
Originally, Jiang Chen wanted to rent a house in Yahang, and then spend money to build a Taoist temple, or hang a Taoist plaque on the house he rented.
But after hearing Xiao Yue'er's words, he felt that the abandoned Taoist temple was worth reusing.
"Xiao Yue'er, let me ask you, do you know if there is a place called Yueling Valley in Yueling County?"
Jiang Chen asked.
"Yueling County is Yueling County. I have never heard of Yueling Valley."
Xiao Yue'er said.
"Then do you know why the Taoist temple in Yueling County was abandoned? Is it because there are no Taoists living here?"
Jiang Chen asked again.
"That Taoist temple seems to be relatively new. The reason why it was abandoned seems to have been smashed by the people in the county. Even the Taoist priest in the Taoist temple was driven away!"
"But I don't know why. I was still young at that time, and my grandpa told me these things!"
Xiao Yue'er answered truthfully.
"It may be that the Taoist priest is not good at learning and has deceived and abducted people, causing public outrage!"
Jiang Chen thought for a while before speaking.
Many Taoist priests and monks in small places are half-baked, and it is common for them to fall over.
