Chapter 22: Lack of Money

It was quiet in the apple orchard. Under the starry sky, large and small tents were located in the apple orchard. The sound of snoring one after another and the beating of the heart added a little life to the quiet night.

After an uneventful night, Xiao Yu got up early, packed the tent under the tree, and then followed Xiao Qiang back to have breakfast. As for the people picking apples, they got up at five o'clock and started busy in the garden.

Xiao Yu had two things to do today. The first was to burn clothes and paper money for the three brats, and the second was to go to the Taoist temple.

Xiao Yu thought about it all night last night, and still thought that it would be difficult to find the female ghost with his own skills. There are still Taoist priests in the Taoist temple. Although their magic power is not very good, they wear Taoist robes and carry wooden swords on their backs.

When they go out, they look much more impressive than themselves, so it is much more reliable to use them to do things, and it is not easy to arouse others' suspicion.

"Dad, I'm going to the Taoist temple in the afternoon to find something. I won't go to the mountain. You should pay more attention on the mountain," Xiao Yu said while eating.

When he heard that Xiao Yu was going to the Taoist temple, Xiao Qiang suddenly became unhappy and couldn't help but said with a straight face, "Xiao Yu, although you have some skills, your main business is studying. When you come back, I haven't seen you pick up a textbook."

"Dad, I already know those things. Don't worry, I will definitely be admitted to college." Xiao Yu hurriedly explained, "Although you didn't see me pick up the textbook, my grades are number one in the class. Look at Xiao Ping, he is always reading and also

We are not the last ones in the class, so this study cannot be judged by who reads the book for how long.”

"Xiao Ping is reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Although it is useless for learning, it can help you learn the principles of life! Ever since you became literate, you have been reading Taoist books every day. If you hadn't gotten first place in every exam, I wouldn't have known you.

Have you ever been to school?"

"Anyway, we have agreed that it is summer vacation now. You can play as much as you want. If school starts, you can go to school properly."

Xiao Qiang said to Xiao Yu righteously, as if there was no room for negotiation! Xiao Yu also knew that Xiao Qiang was doing it for his own good, and immediately nodded and agreed.

Going to college has been Xiao Yu's dream since he was a child, and it was also his grandfather's dream. His grandfather would say that he was a scholar, and it was because he entered the Taoist sect that he didn't get the top prize. Of course, this was all bragging to Xiao Yu.

The purpose is to prevent Xiao Yu from forgetting to study because of practicing Taoism.

Studying is as important as Taoism. Xiao Yu knew from his grandfather that there is a major in metaphysics in this university, which specializes in studying demons and monsters. But whether this is the case, Xiao Yu doesn't know. What he needs to do now

Just graduate from elementary school and then enter high school, so that you can get out of the mountains.

"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely go to college and then take you and mom to the city. We will go to Shanghai, Beijing to see Tiananmen Square, the sea, and the Communist Party of China."

As soon as Xiao Yu finished speaking, his mother happily gave him a thumbs up. Xiao Yu felt that his mother was really happy, maybe she had been waiting for this day.

"Well, that's pretty much it," Xiao Qiang smiled and nodded.

"Um, um, parents, can you give me some money? It's not much, just twenty yuan is enough." Xiao Yu said with some embarrassment.

"Okay, I'll ask your mother to give it to you later." Xiao Qiang agreed without any hesitation. This made Xiao Yu feel relieved, fearing that Xiao Qiang would ask why he wanted the money.

To buy paper money for the kid, you need to go to the town to buy it, but the town is too far away, so they are usually sold in Taoist temples. Of course, the price is more expensive than in the town, but this is reasonable, and people have to go to the trouble of carrying it back.

It's impossible not to make money, right? So raising the price is acceptable as long as it's not outrageous.

As for the clothes worn by the little ghosts, they are not sold in Taoist temples, so Xiao Yu needs to buy paper to make them himself, so it is probably most convenient to go to the Taoist temple for these things, because these things are relatively complete everywhere.

After Xiao Qiang finished eating, he went straight up the mountain, leaving Xiao Yu and his mother alone! Of course, Xiao Yu had finished eating long ago. He was waiting for his mother to finish eating and then get the money.

Seeing Xiao Qiang leaving, Xiao Yu's mother immediately put down the bowl, took out a handkerchief from her pocket, opened it, took out fifty yuan and handed it to Xiao Yu, making a gesture of letting him take it.

"Well, Mom, I don't have any money to give you change," Xiao Yu said with a smile.

Xiao Yu's mother paused, and then she kept gesticulating with her hands, meaning, "What are you looking for? You can use the remaining money to buy snacks. Your parents have been busy recently and have no time to care about you. You should be more careful outside."

,Although those little devils do not hurt anyone, you should not get too close to them, as it is not good for your health.”

"Mom, I know, I will definitely be careful! But you gave me the money, what should I do if dad asks you?" Xiao Yu asked.

This time, Xiao Yu's mother waved her hand, indicating that Xiao Yu didn't have to worry, then put the money into Xiao Yu's hand, and then made a gesture to tell Xiao Yu to go get busy! Xiao Yu took the money, and suddenly felt extremely melancholy in his heart.

I secretly decided that I must make money and take my parents to Beijing and the beach.

Taking the money, Xiao Yu went to the Taoist temple and found Taoist Master Bai who had exorcised the evil spirits from Grandma Wang. Then he told him what he wanted. Unexpectedly, the other party immediately found these things and didn't take any money.

"Taoist Master Bai, this is something for a dead person. If you don't charge for it, are you asking the dead person to owe you a favor?" Xiao Yu looked at the colorful papers and said with a smile.

"Hey, senior, please don't make fun of me. I'll give it to you no matter how much it's worth."

Xiao Yu smiled and then said, "Okay, then I will accept these for the sake of the founder of the Sanqing Dynasty, but I can't take them for free. How about giving you ten yuan?".

Ten yuan can buy a lot of good things in the countryside, but Xiao Yu also chose a lot of things, not only ghost paper, but also ghost paper for making clothes for ghosts, and some cinnabar for talismans.

It's a huge pile of paper. In terms of value, it's only about fifteen yuan. However, this is the price of a Taoist temple. If it were placed in a town, it might not cost more than ten yuan.

"Haha, then just listen to the seniors." Taoist priest Bai nodded helplessly! He originally wanted to please Xiao Yu because he was a child after all, but Xiao Yu's lack of experience made it difficult for him.

Seeing that the other party agreed, Xiao Yu sat in the Taoist temple, cut the ghost paper into pieces, and then started making clothes. The clothes for the little ghosts were not big, and it was not complicated to make. They just cut the paper into clothes.

, then stick the two pieces together, flip them over, and draw some runes on the clothes, and the clothes are finished.

Taoist priest Bai was also very familiar with this kind of thing, so he made it very smoothly. He made it even faster than Xiao Yu. In less than half an hour, he made four sets of clothes, which looked really stylish.
