There was a lot of excitement in Jingkou Town early in the morning.
According to legend, Zhang Laosan and his family, who were lying in bed waiting to die, walked under the sun all the way to the well.
Passers-by could clearly see that the family members were in normal condition and had no symptoms of a big belly.
The fat man Wu Tiezhu was still collecting money from the bamboo shed when Leng Buding and his family broke in and knelt down and kowtowed on the spot.
Bang bang bang!
The surrounding townspeople saw the excitement and didn't mind the trouble. They gathered around and blocked the outside of the bamboo shed.
Although Zhang Laosan hated Wu Tiezhu very much, he kept Wang Fu's advice to him in mind and pretended to shed tears of gratitude on his face.
Seeing that there were more and more townspeople around him, he took the time to speak.
"Uncle Wu, and Mrs. Wu, my whole family is here today thanks to the well water you sold. I came here to thank you for your kindness."
People around him exclaimed, "What?"
Didn't it mean that Zhang Laosan stole the water from the well and drank it, and the whole family got a strange disease and was close to death?
Why did Zhang Laosan bring his whole family to express gratitude?
Also, looking at Zhang Laosan’s appearance, he doesn’t look like he has a strange disease!
Wu Tiezhu was also confused. His mother had obviously cast a spell to make the family's life worse than death. Why was everything okay now?
"How did you cure it?"
As soon as Wu Tiezhu opened his mouth, Wang Fu, who was hiding in the crowd, laughed. This fat man was a loser. It seemed that the real power was his old mother who didn't show up.
Zhang Laosan's voice became louder, "Thank you so much for the well water you sold. Our family originally had a strange disease, but we drank the well water someone bought us yesterday and it was cured immediately."
"I came here today to express my gratitude."
"Uncle Wu, where is the old lady? We want to kowtow to her."
The onlookers were amazed. They all knew about Zhang Laosan's misfortune, but they didn't expect that the whole family was saved by well water in the end.
"Well water, who bought it for you?"
Wu Tiezhu gritted his teeth and asked.
The fat man was angry. Someone actually knew that his family wanted to punish Zhang Laosan and secretly brought them water.
"It's a little master."
Zhang Laosan hesitated for a moment, then confessed Wang Fu.
After saying this, he thought to himself, I have already done everything you told me, little master.
"Damn little Taoist priest!"
The fat man stood up suddenly, his face flushed red, and the surrounding townspeople were afraid and moved aside.
He was so angry that he wanted to catch Wang Fu immediately and beat him to death.
"Iron pillar!"
An old voice sounded from behind.
After Wu Tiezhu heard this, he immediately turned around and said, "Mother."
Mrs. Wu finally appeared.
Wang Fu noticed that the townspeople who had been whispering shut up one after another, and even their breathing became cautious, for fear of attracting Mrs. Wu's eyes.
It's true, this old lady is in charge of the Wu family's mother and son.
The old lady Wu wore a green cloth bun on her head, and wore a floral cloth jacket. She had strong little feet and even though her face was lined with wrinkles, she was always smiling.
As soon as the old lady appeared, she calmed the situation.
"The ground is cold. If you kneel for a long time, you will easily get sick. Get up quickly."
Old Madam Wu made a gesture of offering support, but Zhang Laosan stepped aside and said firmly, "Old Madam, if you don't let me kowtow today, our whole family will kneel here and not get up."
"Kneel down if you want. It's none of my mother's business even if you kneel to death." Wu Tiezhu asked angrily, "Where is the little Taoist priest?"
"Tie Zhu, fellow countryman, how do you speak?"
Mrs. Wu scolded her son with a straight face, and then said to Zhang Laosan, "My family does not sell well water to make money, but to benefit the people in the town. I don't think you know my family's difficulties. Zhang Laosan, you are a good person."
Hearing this, Zhang Laosan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly kowtowed on the ground.
"Thank you for your kindness. Don't worry, old lady. We will all come to buy water from now on."
The townspeople were astonished at what they saw. It was rare for Mrs. Wu to be kind and generous, and let Zhang Laosan and his family go.
"Let's all disperse, let's get water!"
Mrs. Wu waved her hands, and the onlookers dispersed.
Wang Fu was in the crowd, staring at the Wu family mother and son from beginning to end.
Wu Tiezhu, a fat man with indigo tattoos covering his back and chest, looks like a ferocious beast entrenched on his body.
Mrs. Wu also has a tattoo, but the difference is that it is not on her body, but on her neck.
"Methods of cultivating witches."
"Let's go!"
Wang Fu got the information he wanted, and when the crowd dispersed, he decisively turned around and left.
Zhang Laosan’s family...
The family had been waiting for a long time and was overjoyed to see Wang Fu arrive.
"Little Master, you are here."
Wang Fu nodded to Zhang Laosan, "You performed well today."
Zhang Laosan smiled honestly, and then said fiercely, "When I saw the old thief earlier, I wished I could stab her to death."
"Fortunately, I wasn't impulsive. You couldn't stab her to death."
Zhang Laosan nodded, "Yes, the thief mother and son have magic, we can't fight it."
"It's good that you know. It's embarrassing to kowtow to your enemies, but your family will be safe."
Zhang Laosan's words and deeds today were all under Wang Fu's instructions. The purpose was to get Mrs. Wu to give up the persecution of their family in public. Now she succeeded.
"Zhang Laosan, please be patient for now, the bad guys won't last long!"
Wang Fu has actually made up his mind, but it is not convenient to reveal it now, so he will appease the other party for the time being.
Zhang Laosan also understood and nodded, "I know."
"By the way, are there any Taoist temples in this town?"
"There is no Taoist temple, only the Five Emperors Temple."
"That's fine!"
Wang Fu repeatedly declined to stay overnight and decided to stay overnight at the Five Emperors Temple.
Those who practice Taoism and become a monk must not stay in a private residence unless absolutely necessary, because they have no home to live in as a monk.
…
"You idiot, you fell into the trap."
In the Wu family's 'mansion', Mrs. Wu was furious and furious.
"This is a plan to get out of the house. In front of the public, I will praise you and my mother very highly. I will praise the water from the well as a magical elixir. It is difficult for you and me to refute. Then I will take advantage of the situation and take out the ladder to make your mother worry about my face."
, promised not to embarrass Zhang Laosan’s family again.”
"Do you really think that drinking a sip of well water can cure your mother's 'big belly bug'?"
"There must be an expert behind it."
Wu Tiezhu was so scolded that he could not raise his head, so he took the opportunity to say, "It's a little Taoist priest. I've seen it with my own eyes."
After a long time, Mrs. Wu sighed and said, "The person who can break my big belly poison is a capable person, not a charlatan who cheats on food and drinks."
"Tie Zhu, go find out tomorrow where the little Taoist priest will stay?"
Where is Wang Fu now?
The Five Emperors Temple is a remote place in the town. It is said that when the town was founded, the expert who gave guidance on Feng Shui spoke up, so the townspeople built this temple.
Ordinary people naturally do not know the mysteries of the Five Emperors.
Wang Fu could tell at a glance that this expert was a monk who worshiped the Five Emperors.
The old ghost's diary records that the mainstream of today's monasticism includes those who worship the Three Pure Ones and those who worship the Five Emperors.
The True Immortal Mansion in Yuhua Mountain belongs to the latter group of worshipers of the Five Emperors. The Beidi in the "Northern Emperor's Secret Code of Conquering Demons and True Martial Arts" is one of the Five Emperors.
In other words, when Wang Fu arrived at the Five Emperors Temple, he was at home.
There is not much incense in the Five Emperors Temple, and there is a deaf-mute old man guarding the temple.
The deaf-mute old man was lonely and had no family. He was assigned to guard the temple and could live on scraps, which was regarded as the town's care for him.
