Chapter 24 A Spring and a Waterfall Hanging by the Pool
Now that he knows the whole story, it is not difficult to save him. Guan Er will immediately take Fatty Jia to find Zhang Dianzao. Guan Er said that if Zhang Dianzao does not forgive Fatty Jia, he will accompany Fatty Jia to kneel down at Zhang Dianzao's house!
Zhao Ran grabbed Guan Er and told him not to get involved. The more outsiders get involved in this kind of thing, the more counterproductive it will be. No one is willing to expose their small-mindedness to the public. If Guan Er
Making a big show of things can easily mess things up. His suggestion was to have Fatty Jia bring a heavy gift and quietly go over there to settle the matter.
Fortunately, Fatty Jia and Guan Er won a lot of money in the fourth "Three-English Game", so he gritted his teeth and took out a hundred taels of silver, and immediately left at night.
Zhao Ran and Guan Er were waiting for news in the hospital. They didn't know how long it had passed before they saw Fatty Jia back. His steps were light, but his face was red and swollen.
Guan Er was furious: "Fat Jia, why did Zhang Dianzao do it? Why did he hit him so hard?"
Fatty Jia waved his hands and sighed: "It's none of Zhang Dianzao's business. I did it myself. I'm just reminding myself that from now on, never judge others in front of others or judge them behind others!"
Zhao Ran nodded: "Every time you take a step, you gain wisdom. After this experience, Fatty Jia, you will make progress."
In the west room, Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai were each lying on the bed thinking about something. Zhao Ran knew what they were worried about. But before the matter was finalized, he couldn't tell the truth, so he just jokingly comforted them and said not to be too discouraged.
The darkest moments often herald the coming of dawn.
The two men rolled their eyes at Zhao Ran and turned around to show their disdain.
Within two days, Song Xunzhao sent Jiao Tan, Zhou Huai and Jia Fatty at the same time, and Zhao Ran knew that the matter must be settled. Sure enough, when the three came back, their faces were all excited.
color.
Jiao Tan went to the water room, Jia Fatty was sent to the fire room, and Zhou Huai took over the original cleaning room of Fatty Jia, and everyone was happy. Zhao Ran didn't know what Song Xunzhao told them, but it was obvious
, Song Xunzhao sold Zhao Ran a favor during the conversation. The three of them came to Zhao Ran to thank him. Jiao Tan took Zhao Ran's hands and chattered endlessly, making Zhao Ran's skin crawl.
, hurriedly shook off his hand; Zhou Huai slapped Zhao Ran on the shoulder and said nothing; Fatty Jia jumped up and gave him a bear hug, his laughter already tinged with sobs.
Only Zhou Yutou was very unhappy. Song Xunzhao did not discuss this matter with him, but directly acted as the coordinator. Zhou Yutou was not interested in the transfer of this group of pyrotechnical laymen. He was a member of Wuji Academy.
One of the stewards of the "Five Lords and Eighteen Heads" is a Taoist priest with an ultimatum. The natural difference in status is here. The turning points in the lives of Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai have no meaning to him.
What Zhou Yutou is concerned about is that there are only three fire dwellers in the house, and two of them have been taken away, but one person has not been replaced. Who will do the cleaning? Is it possible that he, Zhou Yutou, must do it himself? But he
When he went to complain to Song Xunzhao, Song Xunzhao asked him to ask Zhao Ran, saying that Zhao Ran had promised that the matter would be resolved.
Before Zhou Yutou went to find Zhao Ran, Zhao Ran took the initiative to come to the door. To be honest, Zhao Ran didn't think highly of Zhou Yutou from the bottom of his heart. Zhao Ran, who also worked in the house building and was a layman of fire engineering, was in
After honing his character, Zhou Yutou, who has a higher status, can only comment on "incompetence". Zhao Ran is a newcomer who has just entered the Taoist temple, and he is cleaning up according to the rules, while Zhou Yutou is a serious Taoist priest who has rules and regulations.
But he became the boss of the toilet cleaner. How embarrassing is it?
Although he looked down on Zhou Zhitou, Zhao Ran understood his identity, and he also knew that there were differences between superiors and inferiors, and that there was order in hierarchy. He respectfully placed a few silver ingots on Zhou Zhixiu's bedside, and then patted his chest to assure Zhou Zhixiu
, Although he was the only one left in the subdivision, it was no different from the past. He even suggested that Zhou Yutou could be spared the task of assembling the donkey cart and waiting for it every day when he was ugly. Zhao Ran could take care of all the work, and Zhou Yutou could do all the work.
Just get up before dawn every day and check the scanning effect.
Zhou Yutou asked confusedly what Zhao Ran was going to do. Zhao Ran said, don't worry about it. You are a Yuantu, so you don't have to worry too much about these little things. Zhou Yutou just thought about it for a moment and decided to let it go. Anyway, he was happy not to be ugly.
Get up. However, the head of Zhou Dynasty still warned Zhao Ran, saying that no matter what method he used, outsiders must not be hired to do the work in the important Taoist temple. At the same time, he also reminded Zhao Ran that cleaning was a matter of sharpening character.
, don’t be sneaky and sneaky, you must do it yourself.
Zhao Ran knew that he couldn't hire laborers to do the cleaning work, but he had other plans in mind.
The living room is one of the eight deacon rooms of Wuji Temple. Among them, the Shifang Hall accepts pilgrims who want to go to the Taoist temple and lay people who want to practice in the Taoist temple. The Yunshui Hall receives Taoist priests from out of town. While there is still time, Zhao Ran came to Yunshui
In the hall, I caught a glimpse of Yu Zhiyuan who was on duty.
These days, there are no Taoist priests visiting Wuji Temple, so Yu Zhiyuan is very leisurely. He is practicing his pen at the moment, repeatedly sketching on the paper with an egg on the table. This method was taught to him by Zhao Ran, Zhao Ran
Although Ran's painting skills are not good, at least he has some knowledge.
Yu Zhiyuan threw away the paintbrush, looked at Zhao Ran and smiled bitterly: "Brother Zhao... I have spent so much time to stand up for you, how can you just give it to someone else after changing hands?"
Zhao Ran apologized sheepishly: "Yu Mentou, I'm really sorry. I also want to leave the subdivided house. I just thought about it over and over again, but I really can't make up my mind. You said that I haven't moved out after being here for more than half a year.
, I’ve only been here for a month and now... I’m afraid I won’t be able to see anyone in the future.”
Yu Zhiyuan sighed: "Oh, I'll wait and find another chance next time. But then again, you are...kind!"
Zhao Ran changed the topic and asked: "At the door, I wonder where the old man who hangs orders lives? I have something to see him."
"Are you talking about Zhang Laodao from Huguang? I haven't seen him for a few days."
"why did you leave?"
"But he has not left. Dudu is still here, but his whereabouts are unknown... Although this old Taoist said that he was in the courtyard, he was not there for two out of three days. I have seen a lot of Taoist priests like him, and most of them like to travel in the mountains.
I'm playing in the water. I don't know which mountain I'm in at the moment. Why, Brother Zhao, is there something to do with him? Well, I'll let you know when he comes back."
Zhao Ran said "Oh" and was very disappointed, but since the old man was not there, he couldn't do anything. He exchanged a few perfunctory words with Yu Zhiyuan and then left Yunshuitang sadly.
During dinner, both Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai expressed to Zhao Ran that they wanted to come over at night to help Zhao Ran clean up, but Zhao Ran declined them one by one. Fireworkers laymen were not as good as formal Taoist priests, and everyone had a lot of work to do.
, asking Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai to come over to help will delay the tasks they are responsible for during the day. Two days a day is fine, but it will definitely not work if the days are long. In this case, it is better to persist from the beginning and get used to it.
.
After dinner, Zhao Ran was still unwilling to give in and went to Yunshui Hall to look for someone again, but the old man was still not there. After thinking about it, he simply went to the back garden, climbed over the wall, and went to the Cloud Viewing Platform. Since he was on the Cloud Viewing Platform last time
I have met an old Taoist before, maybe I can do it this time.
There was no one on the cloud viewing platform, so Zhao Ran leaned against the cliff and waited. He waited until the clouds in the sky dispersed, but he still didn't see the old Taoist. He was about to get up, but suddenly stopped, and walked along the mountain path around the cliff to continue upward. He remembered that day
At night, the old road goes up here. Zhao Ran has never climbed up before, and he doesn't know what other good places to go up there.
The mountain path climbed around the cliff. Zhao Ran climbed about seven or eight feet, and the mountain path reached the end. Here stood an old pavilion. The tile eaves and stone railings on the pavilion were broken, and the weeds in the pavilion were barren, showing that it had been there for many years.
No one is cooking.
Zhao Ran looked left and right and saw no signs of human beings. Just when he was disappointed, he saw a faint trail between a few green pines, so he passed through the green pines and continued up the trail. The trail went up and down, and he didn't know where to turn.
After making a few turns, a huge boulder blocked the way, and the sound of a waterfall came from behind the boulder.
Zhao Ran climbed up the boulder using his hands and feet. Looking down, he saw an acre of clear pool under the moonlight. A flying spring about a foot wide hung upside down from a height and splashed into the pool. On the green lawn beside the pool was a simple thatched house.
, a Taoist priest put his arms behind his head, lying on the lawn and looking at himself with a smile, his two feet high in the air.
