The sloppy Taoist priest became famous throughout the city and was treated as a guest of the banker.
When Cai Wanshou heard that Zhuang Zisheng invited him out, he couldn't help clapping his hands and applauding.
Talking about the rest of the life, they drove out of the long street, and Bai was so happy that he remembered that one person was missing.
"Where's the little old man?" Bai Gaoxing asked.
Yu Sheng said: "He slipped away long ago."
Let Maomao continue walking for the rest of my life.
The little old man can't lift it with his hands or bear it with his shoulders. He's just a burden. It's better to throw him away now.
After leaving the East Street and crossing the West Street, they were stopped by Aunt Ma as soon as they arrived at the city gate.
Because of the busy farming schedule, Xiao Gen'er's carriage did not enter the city today. She had planned to stay in the city for a day, but she didn't expect it to happen to Yu Sheng.
"Aunt Ma, why don't you go visit relatives? You're back so soon." Yu Sheng asked her.
Aunt Ma'er's natal family is in the east of the city, and it takes a day's drive to and from Yangzhou City.
Bai Gaoxing carried his grandson into the car and helped Aunt Ma get into the car.
After sitting down, Aunt Ma fanned her hands and said, "Don't mention it, there is a monster in town, how can I dare to stay here."
"Monster?" As a master of catching monsters, Bai Gaoxing is very sensitive.
"Yes, the child next door was bitten off and only a piece of his little finger was left." Aunt Ma said with lingering fear, "I heard that there was more than one monster, but two."
"Two?" Bai Gaoxing frowned slightly. Monsters that attack children rarely come in pairs.
"By the way, there are blood stains on the child's clothes hanging outside the house." Aunt Ma suddenly remembered, "The villagers said it was a ghost bird."
I will know about ghost birds for the rest of my life. If I were a Gu Huo Niao, as a gamer and black stocking enthusiast in my previous life, I would know better for the rest of my life.
Of course, the ghost bird in the wilderness is not very cute. She often stains the baby's clothes with blood at night, and then steals the baby at night.
For the rest of my life, I often thought that if the ghost birds used their skills on property, they would probably have nothing to do with "stealing gods".
Bai Gaoxing shook his head, "It's not a ghost bird. If it were a ghost bird, it would never hurt the child."
After leaving the city gate, it was almost noon. Although the sun was strong, the strong wind blew against our faces, making people feel no heat.
Aunt Ma blocked her grandson's head and exclaimed: "Oh, this Maomao can run very fast."
"That's right." Yu Sheng said proudly.
Bai Gaoxing was puzzled and finally shook his head, "Can you please catch the demon master?"
"Please." Aunt Ma said, "The person who is entering the town with me is Yao Zhuo, the three-money demon-catching master."
Bai was happy and said, "That's no problem. If the child is really in the hands of a ghost bird, there is a high probability that he can be saved."
Yu Sheng looked at him, "Do you know this Yao Zhuo?"
"Of course, if you give someone a try, you will never give up until you reach your goal."
They chatted all the way and returned to the town in more than an hour.
Aunt Ma couldn't help but sigh, "I'll save a lot of time by taking a donkey cart into the city in the future."
"Ang, ang~"
Before Yu Sheng agreed, Maomao started to protest seriously.
"I know you are valuable." Aunt Ma smiled and took her grandson home.
It was just after noon, which used to be lunch break, but now the town was not quiet at all.
Looking up to the west of the town, the golden rice fields are filled with folks from the town.
No matter how far away you are, you can still hear the "swish" sound when the sickle cuts through the rice stalks for the rest of your life.
The dog ran out upon hearing the sound and circled at Yu Sheng's feet. The black cat sergeant said "meow" above his head.
When Yu Sheng looked up, he saw them lying on the eaves, holding a small mouse in their mouths.
Yu Sheng took a step back and looked at the eaves, "Hey, these two are drying food for the winter. They will be cleaned up soon."
Bai happily agreed.
"Brother, give me a pot of wine and a basket of steamed buns." Baozi came over with a big gourd on his back.
Behind him, followed the oxcart pulled by the big buffalo of the inn. The cart was piled high with rice and almost missed the archway.
Yu Sheng led Baozi into the door and saw Aunt Qing sitting on the long table drinking.
"Another piece of tofu." Baozi, who had enough money, made his own decision.
"Go, I just came back, where can I grind tofu for you?" Yu Sheng said while washing his hands.
"The tofu has been ground," Aunt Qing said, "just bake it."
Yu Sheng was startled, "Did you grind it?"
Aunt Qing pointed to the back, and Yu Sheng, Ye Zigao and others squeezed to the back door.
Ye Zigao and Bai Gaoxing only saw the tofu mill moving, but Yu Sheng saw a female ghost with a phoenix crown and a rosy robe grinding the mill.
"It's her." Yu Sheng finally remembered what he had neglected on the night he stabbed Fat Wu Zhu to death.
"How did you do it?" Ye Zigao turned around and asked Aunt Qing, thinking she had used some magical power.
Aunt Qing weighed the large sum of money that Yu Sheng had just handed over in her hand, "This."
She has a knack for knowing how much money there is just by weighing it.
"I have heard for so many years that 'money can make the world go round', and now I finally see it alive." Yu Sheng sighed.
"She is dead." Cao'er said abruptly, Liu Liu stood beside her.
"That's right." Yu Sheng saw them and asked in surprise, "What are you doing standing in the water?"
I saw Cao'er and Liuliu standing barefoot in a wooden basin, with the water in the basin covering their white ankles.
"Well, it's too hot. Let your feet cool down to quench your thirst." Cao'er said seriously.
Feeling baffled for the rest of his life, he retreated to the lobby, leaving Ye Zigao staring at the stone mill.
"I'm going to help." He walked over and felt a slight chill when holding the stone mill.
Just the coolness made Ye Zi's imagination wander.
"Thank you." A murmur rang next to Ye Zigao's ears, making him feel a little more relaxed.
"She didn't say anything nonsense, did she?" Yu Sheng asked Aunt Qing carefully.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Aunt Qing looked at Yu Sheng while pretending to be rich.
"No, it's nothing." Yu Sheng shook his head, thinking that as long as Fu Nan didn't know about it, it would be fine.
Now that I have tofu, Yu Sheng plans to cook a big pot of Mapo tofu, just in time for the folks to eat when they return from work.
During the busy farming season, people in the town would wake up early and work until late at night, with few people having time to cook. Therefore, in the past, this was when the inn business was booming.
It's just that they can't make much money, so the villagers usually use food or help the inn to harvest crops to make up for it.
Badou pulled a cart of rice and piled it on the open space to the west of the inn. He walked in with a smile, held a jar of linmu wine and drank happily.
For the rest of his life, he was the only one other than Aunt Qing who would treat this place as his own without being chased for money.
Li Zheng also walked in, "Xiao Yu'er, help me cut the rice this afternoon."
Yu Sheng shook his head and said nothing, "I have just become lighter, you can't let me get darker. Besides, I still cook for everyone."
"You brat, you are just lazy." Li Zheng said with a smile.
"I'll send someone there," Yu Sheng said.
He planned to send Ye Zigao over, otherwise he would not have any peace in the afternoon and would be dragged around looking for the female ghost.
Sure enough, Ye Zigao brought in some bean curds and said, "Shopkeeper, I fell in love with her at first sight."
"You big-headed ghost." Yu Sheng was very busy, "Can you see her?"
"You don't understand this feeling. Although we have never met, we are already old acquaintances. Just like a wisp of spring breeze, you will know that spring has come..."
"Gouzi~"
"Speak of business, speak of business."
Ye Zigao said sternly before Gouzi came to chase him away: "Shopkeeper, I can't feel her presence anymore, why don't you help me look for her?"
