After Wang Fu asked what he wanted to know, he finished a bowl of tea, put a copper coin at the bottom of the bowl, and said goodbye to Old Man Sun.
I never expected that eating a bowl of alkaline water would be so complicated.
To open a noodle shop, two problems must be solved, one is water and the other is firewood.
The well is occupied by bullies in the town and is right in front of us; but the problem of firewood is far outside the town.
Therefore, what Wang Fu wants to go next is the well in the town.
As mentioned earlier, Jingkou Town was established as a Feng Shui bureau, so there must be a place similar to the "eye of formation" to mobilize all the vitality and yang energy in the town.
No need to think too much, this place must be a well.
Wang Fu opened the pages of Feng Shui Bureau and read as he walked, learning deductions along the way.
After walking two streets, I already had a rough idea in my mind.
Feng Shui is based on water. Through calculation, the location of the well can be determined without asking passers-by.
"Found it, right here."
In the end, Wang Fu found the location of the well, and the error was not too big. It was offset by three streets, about ten meters away.
"Isn't it an open well?"
In front of Wang Fu was a bamboo shed with a thatched roof, and town residents lined up carrying buckets of water.
Unexpectedly, in order to collect money, the bully specially built a bamboo shed to collect money.
“The business sense is very strong.”
The person guarding the door of the bamboo shed was a strong man two people tall, with fat and oil all over his body.
Before coming, Wang Fu asked Old Man Sun that the people who occupied the well were a mother and son family with Wu as their surname.
This strong man is his son Wu Tiezhu, and his wife, Mrs. Wu, is not around.
There are thousands of residents in the town. Why do they not resist when a mother and son take over the water well?
The reason is very simple, this mother and son can do magic.
Wang Fu smiled and stood in the queue to fetch water. In front of him was an uncle carrying an earthen pot. He was counting the coins with a frown on his face, as if he was reluctant to part with the upcoming separation.
"Hey, little Taoist priest, haven't I seen you?"
As soon as the uncle opened his mouth, Wang Fu knew that this was a typical familiar person. His talkativeness was comparable to that of a taxi driver, a school janitor, etc., and he was an excellent person to inquire about.
"I just came to town, and I plan to stay for a while to earn some money."
"Jingkou Town is a good place, but if you don't have real skills, you won't be able to make a living. Tell me, what skills do you have..."
While chatting, Wang Fu brought the topic to the well in the town.
"Are you here to fetch water?"
The uncle's eyes fell on Wang Fu, but his hands were empty.
"Well?"
Wang Fu explained, "I happened to be thirsty, so I had a drink."
"Then you're at a big loss.
The uncle gloated and said with a smile, "The rules at the well are to collect money for each bucket. If the bucket is less than one bucket, it will be counted as a full bucket."
"Little master, if you drink a cup, it costs ten cents to drink a bucket."
Overbearing terms!
Wang Fu shook his head, "It's too expensive. If everyone in the town can afford it, no one will steal the water?"
"Shh, don't mention stealing words."
The uncle was startled and glanced at Wu Tiezhu. He didn't notice, so he hurriedly warned Wang Fu.
"Zhang Laosan in the town, because he stole water, now his family is suffering from potbelly disease and is lying in bed waiting to die."
Belly sickness!
Wang Fu thought deeply, he seemed to be a parasite. Is this what Mrs. Wu was good at?
"That unfamiliar little Taoist priest, come here."
As the team advanced, the fat man noticed Wang Fu. After all, everyone in the town was familiar, and he was the only one with a new face.
"me?"
Wang Fu pointed at his nose and looked around. No one agreed, so he happily stepped forward.
"Coming from outside?"
"Yes!"
Wu Tiezhu, a fat man, patted Wang Fu on the shoulder and said, "He is as thin as a chicken, with not much meat on his body."
This slap is really strong.
"I can't help it, I don't have much to eat."
Wang Fu pointed to the well, "I don't have much money. I only sell one bowl. Can it be cheaper?"
The surrounding townspeople cast sympathetic glances.
"cannot!"
Wu Tiezhu's thick eyebrows suddenly rose up like a pair of lovesick caterpillars.
"A bowl of water, ten cents."
The residents at the back shouted out a reminder, "Little Taoist priest, you'd better get a utensil quickly."
Wang Fu nodded when he heard this, "It makes sense."
"I'll get it right away."
After leaving the well, Wang Fu thought about it and grabbed a passerby, "Where is Zhang Laosan's family?"
Zhang Laosan's family is not rich, otherwise they would not steal water and food.
Now, the whole family is suffering from a strange disease, with big belly and abdominal pain, and they are lying in bed waiting to die.
Not to mention that he offended the Wu family mother and son, this strange disease alone is not something that ordinary doctors can take good care of.
When Wang Fu found Zhang Laosan's house, he found that grass had grown in front of the door. The house had been deserted for a long time, and there was no smell of fireworks.
"It's been a long time since I had a fire to cook."
Wang Fu immediately came to visit and asked, "Is anyone home?"
"no one!"
A feeble voice came from inside the house. It was obviously a shout, but it was as light as smoke, as if it could be blown away after a while.
Sick enough.
Wang Fu shook his head, opened the door neatly, and stepped into the threshold.
There was a sour smell in the house, vomit was everywhere on the floor, and there was almost no place to step.
Zhang Laosan's family was lying neatly on the bed. The women, old women, men and children all had big bellies, like a woman who was nine months pregnant and about to give birth.
"Are you here to collect the bodies of my whole family?"
Zhang Laosan, the only middle-aged man in the family, tried his best to open his eyes, saw the figure shaking, and was unable to speak.
As for the old, weak, women and children, they have been tortured to the point of dying and cannot speak a word.
"Damn it, I killed a whole family just to save ten bucks."
Having said this, Zhang Laosan shed tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Little Taoist priest, you came just in time. I still have some money at home, so I put it..."
"Do a ritual for my whole family and wish them a good pregnancy in the next life."
Well!
To be honest, the scope of business of Taoist priests is indeed broad enough, covering a series of businesses such as medical treatment and medication, funeral advocacy, and ancestral graves.
Typical, although I can't cure you, I will be the one who buries you in the end.
Zhang Laosan was waiting to die, but when he saw Wang Fu's appearance as a Taoist priest, he subconsciously thought that he was sent by the town to collect the corpse.
Misunderstanding, huge misunderstanding.
"Sorry, I don't know how to perform rituals. I can only treat patients and save people."
Zhang Laosan actually laughed after hearing this and pointed at his big belly, "Do you know who did this?"
"Mother and Son of the Water Tyrant Witch Family."
Wang Fu answered clearly and neatly.
"I know you still dare to boast. If Mrs. Wu takes action, who can cure it? Who dares to cure it?"
It seems that this water tyrant often resorts to tricks, and the common people do not dare to have the idea of resisting under their lust.
The situation is obvious. Zhang Laosan's family is used by the Wu family mother and son to scare the monkeys.
The bloody example is here, who dares not to give money to buy water in the future?
"To be honest, I just came down from the mountain the day before yesterday and came out to eat."
"Master taught me a few talismans, including one that can cure stomachache. Please let me see."
"If you are not afraid of death, come and try!"
Zhang Laosan originally wanted to refuse, but thinking of the little Taoist priest's good intentions, he agreed.
He did not forget to warn, "Close the door so no one can see it."
