In fact, a bowl of white porridge can provide limited energy, which will be consumed quickly.
However, Diao Jun gritted his teeth and persisted until noon. He picked some wild vegetables, at least half of which were eaten by Brother Shao at noon, which was barely enough to fill his stomach.
As I was preparing to go down the mountain to go home, I suddenly heard a burst of singing.
The voice sounded familiar, and curiosity drove him to follow it.
When we reached the top of the mountain, we saw a young Taoist monk sitting cross-legged and meditating under a tree, closing his eyes and singing loudly.
"Brother Jia?!" Diao Jun looked surprised when he saw the other party's face, "Didn't you go to Yunyou?"
Sitting on the top of the mountain was Jia Zhengjin. Hearing Diao Jun's voice, the singing stopped suddenly. He slowly opened his eyes with a smile on his face: "I calculated with my fingers. There is an opportunity here today. Unexpectedly, it is Diao Shanren!"
"Opportunity? What chance?"
"We met again today. It can be seen that Diao Shanren and Pindao are destined." Jia Zhengjin smiled and said, "Why don't you follow me on my travels? Are you willing?"
"What about Brother Shao?"
"Pindao once said that Huang Shao has a poor destiny..."
"Diao Jun will not abandon Brother Shao. My two brothers are brothers. Even if Brother Shao really has the fate of poverty, Diao Jun is willing to suffer poverty for the rest of his life!"
Pretty stubborn?
The friendship between these two people is not so easy to destroy, but it is precisely because of this that it is challenging!
Jia Zhengjin closed his eyes, paused for a minute, and said, "That's fine! You are willing to give up some opportunities for Huang Shao, but I won't force you."
"Monk, can't you really resolve Brother Shao's poor destiny?" Diao Jun was a little unwilling. It didn't matter that his own destiny was suppressed. It would be great if he could help Brother Shao change his destiny.
Hearing this, Jia Zhengjin shook his head and said with a smile: "The matter of fate is a foregone conclusion. This is God's will and cannot be changed!"
"Oh..." Diao Jun sighed deeply.
"You really don't want to travel with me?"
"Brother, Diao Jun will not abandon Brother Shao!"
"Then you go down the mountain! Today's opportunity is wasted~" Jia Zhengjin closed his eyes again, as if he was in meditation.
Looking at the motionless Jia Zhengjin in front of him, Diao Jun hesitated for a while, finally gritted his teeth, turned around and walked down the mountain.
When I walked to the mountainside, I found that Jia Zhengjin, who was supposed to be at the top of the mountain, was sitting on the roadside in front of me. So he stepped forward in surprise: "Monk, aren't you on the mountain? Why..."
"What a pity the opportunity is!" Jia Zhengjin did not open his eyes and shook his head slightly, "You Diao Shan, you and Huang Shao are incompatible with each other. Sooner or later, there will be a gap. There will be big events within a month, so we should separate as soon as possible!"
"Monk!" When Diao Jun heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly, even a little angry, "Although I respect you, I cannot tolerate inciting brotherhood. Brother Shao and I have been dependent on each other since childhood, and we are as close as flesh and blood. What do you mean, Shao
It’s okay for me to be a brother, but why do you say that my brotherhood will break out sooner or later? Why do you always encourage me to leave Brother Shao?"
"Don't be angry at those who are unkind. The poor are just trying to persuade you with good words." Jia Zhengjin replied calmly, "As the saying goes, good medicine is bitter in the mouth and good for the disease, and loyal words are hard on the ears and good for action. You two have a deep love for each other as brothers, but fate has played a trick on you. Your destiny is to be a mountain of gold and silver.
It is a pity to enjoy all the glory and wealth in the world but to associate with the poor god. Furthermore, Huang Shao will have a disaster within the month, which may be life-threatening. If you leave earlier, you can protect yourself! If you still stay with him, I'm afraid
You will be implicated and suffer disaster for him. What's more, there is a romantic relationship between you two, and there are many disasters, which is very bad!"
"Monk, don't say any more!" Diao Jun frowned, "No matter what you say is true or false, no matter what kind of disaster will happen next. My two brothers work hand in hand and will never leave each other behind. It's only the fault of Diao Jun and the monk.
, Farewell here!"
"Wealth is empty, love is also empty. In the life and death of suffering on behalf of others, evil people just want to do it for themselves..." With a sigh, Jia Zhengjin disappeared in an instant.
Diao Jun turned around and found that there was no one around him. Looking around, there was no sign of Jia Zhengjin. He carefully recalled the words he left and walked down in confusion.
"Ouch!" When we reached the foot of the mountain on the way into the city, we suddenly tripped on something and fell heavily to the ground.
Diao Jun stood up in a hurry, not caring to brush off the dust on his body, and nervously checked the wild vegetables in his hands. He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing wrong.
I lowered my head and suddenly saw a baggage at my feet, which was the culprit of tripping me. I doubtfully reached out and picked it up, only to find that it was extremely heavy.
When I opened it out of curiosity, my eyes widened.
It turned out that there were ten brand new large silver ingots inside the baggage, all of which were twenty taels, a total of two hundred taels!
It was the first time in my life that I saw so much money, and I was completely stunned.
Suddenly I remembered what that monk Jia said, that he was destined to the Gold and Silver Mountain. Could it be that his destiny finally started to play a role? But he did not leave Brother Shao!
What should I do? What should I do with the money?
The person who lost the money must be very anxious, right? Why not send it to the government?
That's right! This is not your money, you can't take it. And those who have so much money are definitely not ordinary people.
Give it to the city gate guards?
No! They are not reliable. What if we hide them privately?
Take it back first, give the wild vegetables to Brother Shao, and then send the money to the government.
By the way! What should I do if the baggage and silver ingots cannot be discovered by the gatekeepers?
Looking around, an idea suddenly struck me.
I ran to the roadside, pulled out a lot of hay and tied it into a bundle. I hid the bundle in the middle and covered it so that it could not be seen when I carried it on my shoulders.
The gatekeeper knew that Diao Jun was a poor man, and that it was common for him to collect hay and go back to make beds, so he would not check.
Facts have proved that Diao Jun’s method is very effective.
He passed the city gate smoothly without being stopped and returned to the Earth Temple safely.
Pushing the door open, he saw Huang Shao sitting on the edge in a daze.
"Brother Shao, I dug some wild vegetables. Let's put some food on our stomachs first." Diao Jun put down the hay bale containing the silver ingots.
"There is enough hay, why are you wasting your energy?" Huang Shao reacted and looked at the hay bale brought back by Diao Jun, showing doubts.
"Squeak~" Diao Jun quickly turned around, carefully closed the door, and said in a low voice, "Brother Shao, look!"
He took out the package from the hay bale and placed it in front of Huang Shao.
When I opened the package, I was shocked to see ten large shining silver ingots.
"Where did this come from?" Huang Shao was shocked.
"I picked it up outside the city." Diao Jun quickly took it back and stuffed it into the hay bale again, "Brother Shao, the person who lost the money must be anxious. I want to send it to the government. The government will definitely post a notice asking the owner to claim it."
"Yeah~" Huang Shao didn't object, but nodded happily, "That's exactly what it should be!"
These brothers are really not greedy with money that does not belong to them.
"Brother Shao, please wash and cook the wild vegetables first. I'll go to the government office?" Diao Jun picked up the hay bale.
"Wait a minute! I'll go with you!" Huang Shao stood up, "It's safer for you two."
"Yes, with so much money, if something goes wrong..." Diao Jun nodded in agreement, "Then let's cook wild vegetables when we get back. Let's go to the government."
