Chapter 14 Returning to the Mountain (please comment!)
"Hey, this girl looks good..."
"Don't talk nonsense, that's the Lotus Saint. Didn't you hear what people said? There is an old mother Wu Kong who has lived for more than a thousand years! You can still make gestures if you offend ordinary people. If you offend these two people, you will have an immortal magic in the evening.
I will take your life!"
"Hiss—so scary?!"
There were many people gathered around, surrounding those who looked like beggars, watching them kowtow continuously while shouting hoarsely words such as Mother Wukong, Saint Lotus and so on, in feeble voices.
But some people don't care.
"Wukong's old mother, Lao Shizi, still lives for more than a thousand years, so she is no longer a bastard!"
"Not necessarily. What if, right? What if this old mother Wu Kong lives a thousand years?"
"I have heard of another woman who also lived for more than a thousand years. She was also called Lao Mu, but her name was different. One was called Wu Sheng and the other was called Wu Kong."
"They're all lies. Back then, when I heard people talking about Vacuum Hometown and Mingming Wuji, these kids were still using urine and mud!"
On the side, Chen Yu looked at it for a while, then turned and left.
Troubled times are coming, and all kinds of monsters and monsters will appear.
No matter whether it is lifeless or empty, a group of pretenders deceive a group of people who are worse off than dead. They use the pretext of charity to win over the hearts of the lower class.
There may be a thunderstorm one day.
Chen Yu couldn't care about these things, but the Lotus Saint caught his attention - an interesting person.
With his strong mental power, he could barely see through the opponent's cover-up.
Then I was shocked...well, actually I wasn't that surprised, I just felt a little complicated.
"I didn't expect that there are women's clothing bosses in this world."
It's so vivid and lifelike that it really gives people a new experience.
…
When I arrived at the grain store, I first ordered five sacks of rice grains from the shopkeeper and asked Lifu to carry them to the front of the store, and then chatted for a while.
This old man with gray hair on his temples is very funny, and he is good friends with the old Taoist priest. It is said that the two of them traveled together in the world when they were young, and they are quite upright people.
The other party was lying on an armchair, holding a tea cup in his hand, and talked about some recent events.
"That old man Zhang is also shameless. He is quite a few years old. He is older than me. He still keeps concubines. I really don't know if he will be able to go to the fields tomorrow morning."
"Taoyang? That place has been ruined for a long time. The county officials colluded with big businessmen and worked together to lower the price and force the harvest of grain. As a result, the officials forced the people to rebel, and they were suppressed in the end. For credit, Butcher Song took over a dozen people around the county before leaving.
Everyone in the village was slaughtered! How can one be so miserable!"
"Saint Lotus? Nephew, don't mess with that woman, she's so weird! I heard people say she's the one who... or else, just hugs the crotch!" (Note ①)
As the two chatted, Lifu had already moved the rice grains properly, and Chen Yu then expressed his intention to cultivate the square fields on the mountain to avoid having to go down the mountain from time to time in the future.
"Why don't you bother me? My nephew is out of town."
The old man smiled and shook his head, but also expressed his support, "Farming is good, farming is good! I also told your master at the beginning that I asked him to plant the land on the mountain. It would be a lot of trouble!
The result is good, for that shameless old man! After half a year of planting, only two grains of rice have been harvested, and more than ten baskets of grass have been cut!"
Chen Yu smiled helplessly when he heard this. Not only the old Taoist priests were in his memory, but the previous generations of temple masters were also not good at farming. The predecessors even had to go down the mountain every month. The euphemistic name was to experience the world of mortals, but in fact they couldn't bear the hardship of the mountain.
One after another, the original Tao Tian was completely abandoned.
At this time, the old man said again, "Since my nephew wants to farm, as an elder, I naturally have to give him something."
After saying that, he asked people to go to the inner hall to get a few bags of grain seeds.
"This is Landrace millet. It is planted in summer and can be harvested in one season. It just makes your teeth rough when you eat it.
Spring millet, as the name suggests, is planted in spring. The millet produced is fine, moist and delicious, and the yield is large. However, it needs constant weeding and weeding, which makes it a bit delicate."
The other types were also explained one by one. In the end, the old man waved his hand and handed them all to Chen Yu.
These are all things carefully made in Laotou Zhuangzhuang. They are much better than the popular products outside. Both the output and taste are slightly better.
Giving it away for free at this moment is enough to show his closeness to Chen Yu.
"Food must be grown, but if there is a shortage of rice in the future, my nephew can come down the mountain to find me."
Chen Yu didn't show any pretense. He first took out his money bag and paid the money according to the grain price he had inquired about when he came, and then took the bag of grain seeds.
The old man also knew the temperament of the young man in front of him. He waved his hand and asked others to take the money and put it into the account. Then he continued to pick up the tea cup and took a sip before lying down.
"The poverty on the mountain is so poor. It's rare for a good nephew to be able to support it all these years. Can you still endure it?"
"It's okay." Chen Yu responded.
The old man took a look, and saw that the Taoist had a calm expression, his eyes were calm, and he had an aloof demeanor.
He felt relieved and felt that his old friend had finally done something right and left a good temple owner for Yunhe Temple.
The two chatted for a few more words, and Chen Yu stood up to leave.
Just like the previous times, the old man, as the shopkeeper, still found two laborers to accompany him. On the one hand, there was a lot of food for Chen Yu to carry alone, and on the other hand, it was also for the sake of safety on the road.
"Uncle Liu, please keep this box of Qingxin Pills."
Although Old Man Liu and the old Taoist priest were not worshiped by the same person, Chen Yu still respected him as his uncle. Qingxin Pills are not lead and mercury elixirs, they are similar to medicine powder, but they are specially made into pills. They are simple to make and rarely sold outside.
.
It can clear fire and nourish blood, calm qi and calm the mind.
The most important thing is that it tastes sweet. No matter the predecessor or Chen Yu, he would bring a box to the old man every time he went down the mountain.
Taking the box of sealing wax pills, Old Man Liu said nothing more, just put it in his hand, and continued to lie on the chair and drink the tea from the cup.
It wasn't until the young Taoist's back faded away that he looked sadly at the mountains outside the city in the distance.
"It's nice on the mountain...it's so nice on the mountain..."
Clean, no worries.
…
"Thank you both for your hard work."
Chen Yu held two pottery bowls filled with well water and handed them to Lifu who was walking up the mountain.
Also given were four hundred copper coins.
"This...Tao, Taoist priest, there are too many!"
The man was not burly, but he was strong, and he was tough enough. He didn't complain at all the whole time. At this moment, he hesitated and turned red when facing the money handed to him.
"It's okay, just take it. If it weren't for the shabby Taoist temple and the lack of resources, we would have to pay more today."
Only after walking through the mountain road did we know how much effort these two people put in. Chen Yu felt exhausted after just carrying a bag and wished he could fall asleep.
The two people in front of them who have never practiced martial arts will only become more tired.
It's only four hundred coppers, not expensive.
In the end, with Chen Yu's force, the two of them accepted the money and went down the mountain happily.
One of them even patted his chest and promised to just call him when he comes to buy food next time, and he will definitely run faster!
After sending Lifu away, Chen Yu drew water from the well and dried it in the yard - the water was too ice-cold, so it would be easy to catch a cold if washed directly.
Then I was about to make some lunch when I suddenly saw something red in the corner of the wall.
Looking closer, he was stunned on the spot.
Looking back, I saw that the bamboo tube on the pillar had cracked at some point...
