After Xiao Chen closed the door and went to his bed, he unexpectedly saw Widow Wang sitting there.
Widow Wang and Tang Bing were originally supposed to sleep in the same bed. Unexpectedly, Widow Wang would snore while sleeping, and Tang Bing couldn't sleep at all. It was definitely impossible to sleep with her.
"Xiao Chen, is your bed suitable for sleeping?"
"sure."
As the saying goes, thermal expansion and contraction are the same in this winter. In such cold weather, they must be crowded together.
Xiao Chen went to the middle of the bed and hugged Tang Bing and Mo Xiaowan directly.
Widow Wang could only get into the quilt and lie there alone.
For some reason, Widow Wang suddenly felt that she really envied Tang Bing and Mo Xiaowan.
Xiao Chen woke up at around six o'clock the next morning.
He wanted to go to the temple again.
However, Xiao Chen knew that in broad daylight, there might be more people over there.
If Tang Bing and Mo Xiaowan were brought along, Xiao Chen wouldn't know what to do if something happened due to the crowd?
"Xiao Chen, where are you going?"
"I want to go to the temple to see it."
When Tang Bing heard this, he remembered that he and Xiao Chen came to the market this time. The main purpose was to check the problem of the fairy water in the temple.
I almost forgot.
"Didn't you go to see it last night?"
"I went to see it with Sister Wang. There is indeed a problem there."
"what is the problem?"
"There are problems there."
"Then I'm going to have a look too."
Tang Bing got up in a hurry.
After a night's sleep, she was very energetic now, and Noila Mo also opened her eyes. When Xiao Chen wanted Noila Mo to stay here and sleep again, he didn't expect that Mo Xiaowan would also get up to take a look.
"Then let's go by ourselves and don't wake up Sister Wang."
Last night, Widow Wang didn't even sleep for a few hours, she must be very sleepy.
The three of them got up, washed up, got dressed, and came out of the hotel.
After going downstairs, Xiao Chen took the two girls to have breakfast.
The breakfast here mainly consists of fried dough sticks, steamed buns, soy milk, etc. It is not much different from that in big cities. The difference is that there are no teahouses for just drinking tea here.
When they came to a breakfast shop, the three of them ordered fried dough sticks, steamed buns and soy milk. While they were sitting there eating, Tang Bing and Mo Xiaowan did not expect that it was still early in the morning and there were so many people coming to the market. They were afraid that they would still be together.
It was just as lively as going to the market yesterday.
After eating, it was almost seven o'clock in the morning.
Xiao Chen took the two girls to the three-way intersection. When they got there, they found that they had already been controlled by police officers. You can only walk there, and you can't drive cars or motorcycles. Bicycles entering there will probably make the road even more congested.
.
Nowadays, apart from the road, there are people walking there. There are even people walking on both sides of the road.
What is the force supporting these people?
Xiao Chen thinks it is faith.
However, these villagers did not know that they had been cheated.
Xiao Chen took the two girls and continued towards the Sanchakou. When he saw the tall tree, Xiao Chen said, "It's just ahead."
"There are so many people. It feels more lively than a temple fair."
There are indeed a lot of people here, maybe ten or twenty thousand people in total, and besides these pedestrians, there are also people setting up stalls selling things outside.
Now Xiao Chen is very suspicious that in addition to his own town, villagers from other nearby towns have come.
If that is really the case, I am afraid that more villagers may be deceived.
Xiao Chen, Mo Xiaowan, and Tang Bing came there. There was no way to get in at the door. Many people wanted to go in to burn incense and draw lots. Most of them came to receive the fairy water and see the taller Buddha statue.
Has grown tall!
The Buddha statue grew another ten centimeters!
This is really amazing!
After one night, the Buddha statue actually grew taller again.
It can be seen from the adoring expressions of the villagers that they are really fascinated.
Has he grown taller again?
"Xiao Chen, what did they say?"
"Say that the Buddha statue has grown taller on its own?"
"Growing taller again? How is that possible?"
Tang Bing didn't believe it at all.
She thinks this Buddha statue is really spiritual, but it is just a kind of spiritual sustenance and psychological effect. However, the Buddha statue is dead and not alive, so how can it grow taller?
Is there something wrong with this?
Tang Bing thought so.
If most of the villagers were in a state of sobriety like him, Xiao Chen would probably think it was impossible for them to cheat like this.
Now Xiao Chen took the two girls to the door and found that they were all queuing up to pay earnest money to get in.
"Xiao Chen, we have to pay to go in."
Mo Xiaowan said.
Xiao Chen felt that the real Holy Land of Buddha would not charge money like it does now. Therefore, Xiao Chen felt that this was very dirty and it was just for money.
Xiao Chen knew he couldn't
If this continues, otherwise, it will just cause more of these ordinary villagers to become impoverished.
"Xiao Chen, we can't get in at all, what should we do?"
"You also want to see the taller Buddha statue?"
Xiao Chen looked at Tang Bing and the two girls and asked.
These two women did not believe that the Buddha statue would grow taller, but they did want to go in and have a look.
However, now you can't get in from the main entrance. One has to queue up, and the other has to pay a earnest money to get in.
The earnest money is neither too much nor too little, ranging from dozens to hundreds of dollars. However, Xiao Chen doesn't have time to spend here, so he makes an estimate.
Based on the earnest money paid by these villagers, I am afraid that the earnest money collected here will be several million in one day.
How many millions?
This is not in a big city, but in this small place, so much money is charged in one day.
Where did all this money go?
Are they all divided by these monks?
Or did it fall into whose pocket?
Coupled with the earnest money for receiving the fairy water, this is another large amount of money.
The more Xiao Chen thought about it, the more scared he became.
These people are too arrogant!
Xiao Chen said: "I will take you to a place first, and we will see you then."
"Where are we going?" Tang Bing asked.
Xiao Chen took the two women away from here, and when he returned to the street, Xiao Chen still felt very surprised when he recalled the scene he just saw.
Of course, if it were in Binhai City, this kind of thing would be impossible to happen. In such a remote town, many people would do that when they are still very ignorant.
Xiao Chen knew that it would be useless to find those officials in this small town.
What he was looking for was the county seat, or even the city.
After Xiao Chen and the two girls returned to the hotel and woke up Widow Wang, Widow Wang asked: "Xiao Chen, when did you get up?"
"Just now, Sister Wang, it seems that I have to go to the city. However, it is inconvenient to take you with me. You should stay here in the hotel for the time being. I will go to the city and come back."
"Don't you want us to go?"
"It's not convenient to take a car here, so how can I take you there? It's faster if I go by myself."
In that case, these three women can only stay.
Of course, there are so many people in this town now, and Xiao Chen is worried about going outside, so it is best for the three girls to stay here in the hotel and wait for him to come back.
