Across the street, the old beggar finally finished vomiting.
He stood up, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said to the old locust tree in front of him: "I'm sorry, brother, I didn't dirty your feet."
Sophora japonica:……
"Why don't you say anything? Are you really angry?"
"It's not my fault. The innkeeper threw me here."
Seeing that he was still silent, the old beggar said: "You too, I'm vomiting, don't you know how to stay away?"
"Hey, why don't you say anything? What do you want to do? How do you solve this problem?"
A Taoist priest came from the east. When he arrived at the door of the inn, he looked at the old beggar in surprise.
He turned back and asked the old monk standing at the door: "What's wrong with this man? Is he possessed by an evil spirit?"
The old monk shook his head, "No, he was talking to the old locust tree, which has become a spirit."
The Taoist priest was startled, then turned his head and looked at the locust tree seriously, "The ghost in the tree can easily become a spirit, but why can't I see it?"
The old monk took the opportunity to step forward and said, "That's because your eyesight is not very good. How about taking some medicine? It will definitely make your eyesight clearer and your eyesight sharper."
The Taoist priest looked at him strangely, "I'm not sick, what medicine should I take?"
"Treat me if I'm sick, and strengthen my health if I'm not sick. How about taking two pills?" The old monk raised the medicinal gourd and said enthusiastically.
The Taoist declined politely, "But I have no money, what should I do?"
"No money? Forget it." The old monk said and turned around to go back.
"Hey, wait a minute," the Taoist priest grabbed the old monk, "Although I don't have money, I will soon have money."
The old monk stopped immediately and said, "You will have money soon, so hurry up. The medicine I take depends on the time."
The Taoist priest smiled and touched his beard, "No need to worry, no need to worry."
"Come", he pulled out a bamboo tube from behind. It was full of bamboo sticks and made a "swish" sound when shaken.
"I will give you a fortune-telling, including fortune and misfortune, weddings and funerals, past and present lives, progeny of children and grandchildren, talents and fortune, everything can be calculated." The Taoist priest shook his bamboo tube and looked at the old monk with a smile.
In view of the recent bad luck, the old monk really wanted to make a fortune, but the premise is, "You buy my medicine first," the old monk said.
He hasn't opened for a long time.
He has to support his family, he has to make ends meet, and his wife has a lot to eat.
"You tell the fortune first," said the Taoist priest. "Only after you tell the fortune can I buy the medicine."
"Buy medicine first, tell fortune later."
"First tell the fortune."
The two of them were arguing fiercely at the door, attracting the leaves inside.
"What's the fuss about?" he said lazily. His bloodless skin was even whiter in the sun, and it was a bit sickly white.
"Hey, brother, looking at your body, you are either plagued by evil spirits or seriously ill. How about doing a hexagram to calculate good or bad luck?" The Taoist priest immediately left the old monk behind and came over to Ye Zigao.
"Go away, I'm haunted by evil spirits! You don't have to worry about it." Ye Zigao said angrily.
He now hates people mentioning that he is sick. Although he is really sick, it is so embarrassing because he calls himself a love saint.
"I'm telling you, if my kidneys... and my body's bones are damaged, I'll kill you! You quack!" Ye Zigao said harshly to the old monk, then turned around and returned to the inn.
The sun made him sweat. Ye Zi sighed, a man must have good kidneys, otherwise it will be a pity that his jade tree will be exposed to the wind.
The Taoist priest who stayed behind had no success in doing business and looked at the old monk.
The old monk shook the medicine gourd and said, "Um, do you still want to buy medicine?"
The Taoist priest shook his bamboo tube and asked instead: "I think you should really make a fortune to see if you will be slaughtered."
The resentment and anger that Ye Zigao was feeling were not just an act.
"No need." The old monk rolled his eyes.
"Your uncle! You are so tall, aren't you? I would have vomited at your feet. Why are you standing still and not saying anything?"
Across the street, the old beggar suddenly burst into a series of angry shouts.
"I have to deal with you today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old beggar kicked the old locust tree hard.
"Oh, you're pretty tough!" The old beggar refused and kicked me again.
The Taoist priest frowned, "Could it be that this locust tree really has a tree spirit that I can't see? Has my Taoism declined?"
He was puzzled and walked towards the old locust tree.
The old monk was also puzzled, wondering if his medicine had any side effects that could damage the brain?
It was bustling outside, but Yu Sheng didn't know that he was picking up the mung beans that five ghosts were grinding.
I have to say that the four blind ghosts worked really well. They worked hard and diligently, grinding the mung beans very finely.
Of course, it is also a good thing for the big ghosts with eyes to supervise. If the four ghosts are lazy at all, they will whip them.
"Damn it, there's a traitor among us." The four ghosts leaned against the wall and panted.
"Have a rest, who can let me have eyesight?" Ergui said.
"People are poor but their ambitions are poor. What's wrong with having eyes? We are not allowed to have a mouth to talk about it." The three ghosts said angrily.
He suddenly thought thoughtfully, "Hey, does he mean that we deserve to be blind because we are blind?"
The other two ghosts agreed and slapped the second ghost in unison.
Yu Sheng ignored them and was busy when Zhou Jiufeng came out of the lobby.
She came from the back kitchen. When asked in the lobby, Ye Zigao said that she would spend the rest of her life in the backyard.
"What's wrong with Ye Zigao? His face is so pale that I almost thought he was dead." Zhou Jiufeng asked curiously.
She grabbed a strange cucumber washed with well water, clicked it, and bit off half of it.
"The kidneys are weak," Yu Sheng said.
"Ahem", Zhou Jiufeng almost choked, "How come you have kidney deficiency and are black girls so powerful?"
"How do you talk?" The black girl appeared behind her and said coldly, which made Zhou Jiufeng tremble.
"Haha", Zhou Jiufeng smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject, "Shopkeeper Yu, the Taoist priest you wanted to arrest ran away."
"Run away?" Yu Sheng stood up and asked, "Have you sent someone to catch him? This Taoist priest is not a good person."
"Sent, I just came over to tell you." Zhou Jiufeng took another bite of cucumber.
Maybe she thought it was not enough, so she picked up a tomato and ate them together, "Well, this tastes pretty good, sour and crispy."
After eating a cucumber, she picked up a few juicy beans.
She looked at it for a long time, and when she saw that Yu Sheng and Guai Zai were both busy and no one was paying attention to her, she stuffed the beans into her mouth.
"Hey, what are you doing? Why are you putting everything in your mouth?" Yu Sheng hurriedly stopped her.
These green beans came down from Dabei Mountain just now. There aren't many of them. They all sent them to Yu Sheng.
"Eat a little, don't be so stingy." Zhou Jiufeng chewed, "But it doesn't taste very good."
For Zhou Jiufeng, everything can be eaten raw.
"Nonsense, it tastes good but it's poisonous when eaten raw." Yu Sheng said angrily.
"What?!" Zhou Jiufeng was startled, and then vomited "Bah, bah".
"Why did you get poisonous things?" Zhou Jiufeng wiped his mouth and said.
"This stuff is poisonous when it's raw, but it'll be fine when it's cooked," Yu Sheng said.
He asked Zhou Jiufeng to help him, and went to the utility room next to him to bring out several large jars and wash them with water.
Yu Sheng waved his hand, and all the water in the jar was gone. He repeated the same trick and made the beans and peppers that Wei Zai had washed dry.
"What are you doing?" Zhou Jiufeng asked curiously.
"Soak beans." Yu Sheng said.
While Yu Sheng was making pickled beans, Pork Jiu came out on the street with a big belly.
He was humming a little tune and just stepped down the doorstep when he saw the Taoist priest and the old beggar studying the locust tree.
Zhu Zhujiu stopped and said, "Okay, this murderer actually dares to come to town."
