The waiter pointed across the street to guide Lin Xiaodong.
Lin Xiaodong strode to the Xianghui Garment Shop. When he walked in, the walls were covered with clothing and cloth. The waiter was busy bargaining with customers and didn't see a Taoist come in.
"Where's your boss?"
Lin Xiaodong asked angrily.
When the waiter heard that the person who came had a bad tone, he looked up and saw that he was a Taoist priest, and replied angrily: "Who are you looking for our boss?
Our boss is not here!"
"Where are you not?"
The clerk looked Lin Xiaodong from head to toe, walked up to him, pointed to the door and said, "Are you here to buy ready-made clothes?
We don’t sell Taoist robes!”
Lin Xiaodong glared: "I'm asking your boss!"
The guy got angry too, pinched his waist and said, "You're here to cause trouble, aren't you?"
Lin Xiaodong lost his patience, slapped his thigh, and with a "clang" sound, the Shuangtan sword on his waist unsheathed itself, floated in the air, and stabbed the guy's neck with the tip of the sword.
"Oh my god!"
The guy jumped up with a shudder, stepped back, and shouted, "What are you doing?"
Unexpectedly, he suddenly made a move, and the customers who were choosing clothes were frightened and ran away, hiding outside the door to watch the fun.
The Frost Pool Sword buzzed, and the tip of the sword slowly stabbed the clerk. The clerk was so frightened that his legs became weak and he leaned against the wall. He raised his hands and begged for mercy: "Master Tao, please forgive me. I am just a handyman. The boss is really not here.
I have been busy getting married these two days, and I want to marry my third aunt!"
"take me!"
With a wave of his hand, the Shuangtan Sword returned to its sheath. The man wiped his sweat and said, "Okay, okay!"
The two walked out of the store, and the onlookers hurriedly moved out of the way. The waiter, covered in sweat, led Lin Xiaodong and said, "Master Dao, go this way!"
The two of them walked three streets to the south of the city, one after the other, and came to a large courtyard. In front of the door were two large willow trees, with two stone lions placed underneath, red lanterns hanging, and painted red pillars. It looked like a wealthy household.
people.
"Master Dao, that's it, can you let me go?"
The man begged for mercy.
Lin Xiaodong waved his hand impatiently: "Go away!"
The man ran away, and Lin Xiaodong strode into the yard.
In the yard, a servant was working. When he saw Lin Xiaodong coming in, he asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for the owner of Xianghui Garment Store!"
Lin Xiaodong made a splash.
Seeing Lin Xiaodong's angry tone, the servant was not polite and asked: "Who are you?"
"I am his Taoist master!"
Lin Xiaodong puffed up his chest and roared.
"are you crazy?
Someone come!”
Seeing this, the servant shouted into the inner courtyard.
Four thugs quickly came out of the inner courtyard. The servant pointed at Lin Xiaodong and said: "This man suddenly broke in and shouted that he wanted to see the master. Get him out!"
The four thugs were fierce and fierce. They rushed up and tried to pull Lin Xiaodong's collar: "Stinky Taoist priest, get out of here!"
Lin Xiaodong waved his hand, and the Frost Pond Sword suddenly unsheathed and flew towards the leader.
With a snap, the tip of the sword stopped at the tip of the man's nose.
The cold wind blew and blinded my eyes. When I opened my eyes again, I saw that the sword was already on my nose, and Lin Xiaodong was standing three steps away with his hands behind his back, the sword suspended in the air.
The air became still, the broom in the servant's hand fell to the ground, and the four thugs did not dare to move.
Lin Xiaodong shook his finger, and the sword tip moved forward an inch, and the thugs moved back an inch. Lin Xiaodong strode forward, and the Shuangtan sword followed. The thugs were forced to retreat, and several people came to the inner courtyard.
"Master, master?"
The thugs turned around and shouted in fear, then fled in all directions.
Xiao Zhaorong, the owner of Xianghui Garment Shop, came out of the room angrily and muttered: "What are you yelling about?"
With a whoosh, the Shuangtan Sword pierced the air and touched Xiao Zhaorong's neck.
Xiao Zhaorong wore a crew cut, a yellow-red satin robe, and soap boots. He was fat and angry, trying to act like a master. Suddenly he felt a chill on his neck. When he lowered his head, he saw that the Shuangtan Sword was shining brightly.
"Master Dao, Master Dao, please spare my life!"
Xiao Zhaorong was also frightened into a cold sweat, and raised his hands trembling all over, "Master Tao, if you have something to say, say it well, if you have something to say, say it well!"
Lin Xiaodong shouted angrily: "Where is Guo Chuxiu?"
Xiao Zhaorong suddenly understood, turned around and said, "Call Miss Guo!"
After a while, an old woman brought Guo Chuxiu to the courtyard. Lin Xiaodong looked and saw that she had changed out of her Taoist robe and was wearing a pink high-waisted double-breasted skirt. She wore a Japanese bun and cloud-head shoes, which made her look even more delicate and elegant.
, he just frowned, his eyes were red, and his face was bloodless.
"Senior Brother Lin?"
Seeing Lin Xiaodong, Guo Chuxiu raised her head in shock and couldn't help but moisten her eyes.
Xiao Zhaorong rolled his eyes and realized that Lin Xiaodong was also from Niu'er Mountain. He immediately changed his mind and said: "This Taoist, Miss Guo has agreed to marry into my family and is no longer a foreigner from your country. Please tell me about this matter."
Please don't interfere."
"Um?"
Lin Xiaodong glared at Xiao Zhaorong, and the Shuangtan Sword moved forward again.
"Ouch ouch ouch!"
Xiao Zhaorong took a few steps back, fell down on the threshold, and said in panic, "Master Tao, her family owes me two thousand taels of gold silk. I used his daughter to pay off the debt. This is already a great mercy. If I sue the government, their whole family will suffer."
I’m afraid they’ll all go to jail!”
"The money her father owed and the silk were stolen by bandits. If you have the ability to go to the bandits, bully honest people, and add insult to injury, what is your ability?
How old are you before you want to marry a young girl?
What's more, she is my junior sister and a member of the Lingquan sect, so why don't you weigh yourself?"
Lin Xiaodong was furious.
Xiao Zhaorong was dissatisfied and pointed to the outside of the wall and said: "It is natural to pay back debts. Even if you file a lawsuit with the government, I am reasonable. If you go to the mountain to learn Taoism, you have to be reasonable. Miss Guo is my third concubine!"
Hearing this, Guo Chuxiu lowered his head and shed tears.
Lin Xiaodong asked: "His family owes your family two thousand taels of gold?"
Xiao Zhaorong raised his head and closed his eyes: "Two thousand taels of gold silk, not even counting the deposit that delayed my business, how much does a poor family sell their daughter for? I'm generous enough!"
"I'll give them the money they owe you!"
Lin Xiaodong said loudly.
Guo Chuxiu raised his head in confusion: "Senior Brother Lin?"
After spending many days together, I can see that Lin Xiaodong is not a rich man.
Xiao Zhaorong laughed loudly after hearing this: "Can you come up with two thousand taels of gold?
Don’t kid me, rich people will go to the mountains to learn Taoism?”
Lin Xiaodong blinked, turned to Guo Chuxiu and said, "Junior sister, wait for me, I'll get the money and come back."
Seeing that Lin Xiaodong seemed to be really rich, Xiao Zhaorong changed his mind again: "Miss Guo is mine now. Now it's not as simple as paying back the money. Do you want me to let her go?"
Then you have to buy it from me, but it’s not at this price!”
Lin Xiaodong glared: "Don't open your mouth like a lion!"
"Two thousand five hundred taels of gold, I will wait until tonight at most, because tomorrow."
Xiao Zhaorong smiled obscenely, rubbed his hands and said, "It's Miss Guo's big day!"
Guo Chuxiu covered her mouth and shook her head, and said to Lin Xiaodong: "Senior Brother Lin, where did you get the two thousand five hundred taels of gold? You should leave quickly. I appreciate your kindness. Let's meet again in the next life!"
