Chapter 58: Return
On the edge of the lake, a small boat is moored on the shore, almost three meters long, slightly old. The hull is intact, as if it has not been used for a long time, and there is some standing water in the cabin, which must have been hoarded when it rained.
"Dao Chief, this is my family's ship. I used to use it for fishing, but I haven't used it in the past few years......" Introducing his own boat, the village chief instructed Changsheng: "Clean up the boat and give you a pack of cigarettes......"
"Gotcha......"
Li Changsheng hurriedly ran to the shore, and not long after that, he took a small basin and a brush, jumped into the cabin and began to clean.
"Village Chief, this boat ......."
The boat is not bad, but it is a little old, Zhang Daoran is very satisfied, but the price is ......
The village chief knew what Zhang Daoran was going to ask, waved his hand and said: "This boat is also put away, and it is not worth much, even if the Taoist chief uses it..."
"The village chief doesn't want money, and the poor road doesn't want a boat......"
Zhang Daoran took a deep look at the village chief, turned to Li Kuan and said, "Li Jushi, you better send the poor road back......
It is to stay guests for dinner and send boats, it is undeniable that the village chief has the intention of befriending Zhang Daoran. Zhang Daoran can't accept it, eating people with short mouths and short hands with people, Zhang Daoran has always believed in this truth.
was furious by Zhang Daoran's meaningful eyes, and the secret in his heart seemed to be peeped at, and the village chief suddenly realized that this Taoist chief was not one of those warlocks, but a capable person, and what he thought in his heart would have been seen through long ago.
"I don't want it? I'm almost done, Dao Chief, this boat is worthless, and the village chief earns more than 200 yuan. ”
Li Changsheng was not happy, the Taoist didn't want a boat, and his pack of cigarettes was lost.
glared at Li Changsheng fiercely, Li Changsheng shrank his neck in fright: "You know how to scare me...... I'm telling the truth. ”
"Two hundred dollars, poor Dao wants this boat. took out 200 yuan and handed it to the village chief, Zhang Daoran didn't think about taking advantage of the village chief.
Knowing that he couldn't delay it, the village chief reluctantly took the money: "The statue of Zhang Tianshi will definitely be sent to the Taoist temple tomorrow...... I wonder if there is anything to pay attention to the statue?"
"Just send it to the Taoist temple, and the other poor roads will have their own arrangements..."Seeing that Li Changsheng had cleaned up the cabin, Zhang Daoran jumped on the boat: "You poor Daoists have said goodbye......"
"Tomorrow I will go to the Taoist temple and ask the Taoist chief. ”
Zhang Daoran did not accept any benefits from himself, and the village chief was a little disappointed. But thinking that I have to send the idol tomorrow, there are many opportunities to say something, and my heart is much more comfortable.
"The village chief thinks clearly in his heart, there are some things that the poor Tao can't hear, the village chief can't say, the poor Tao listens to increase karma, and the village chief says that it increases karma. Therefore, keep the words in the village chief's heart and don't say it to the poor road. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have taken my leave......"
Under the gaze of the confused villagers, Zhang Daoran clumsily rowed the boat away from the shore.
Until Zhang Daoran had a small black spot left, the people on the shore were almost gone, and the village chief suddenly sobered up: "This Taoist chief is really a master!"
......
"Two hundred dollars, with your own boat..."
I don't know if the two hundred yuan is worth it, but Zhang Daoran thinks that he at least has the means of transportation between the two places. In the future, it will be much more convenient to do anything, so as not to be trapped and die on the island in the middle of the lake.
Taoism is not a temple, and you always have to rely on other people's alms to get by. Even if it's a temple, you can't always live on other people's alms. The location of Sanqingguan is remote and troublesome, which prevents many people's footsteps......
"They all say that a priest should not love vanity and should not be greedy for money. The poor are also human beings, and they also need to live. You can grow some vegetables on the island in the middle of the lake, there are lotus pods and lotus roots around, there are fish in the lake, you can't die of hunger, but firewood, rice, oil and salt are all money......
"Poor Dao is not a saint!"
Rowing the boat, Zhang Daoran thought a lot in his heart: "Since ancient times, cultivation has been inseparable from the wealth and land of the Dharma couple, and the poor road is also inseparable from ......."
"Stretch out your hand what you deserve, and you won't take what you shouldn't. The first time I went down the mountain, it seems that I got an unsatisfactory ......"
solved Li Daniu's matter, and got a total of dozens of white luck silk threads and three red qi luck silk threads. Ten white qi luck, only equivalent to a red silk thread. This time I went down the mountain, and I only got seven red silk threads......
"I wonder if I can open the next page of "Huang Tingjing"?"
I didn't rush to read "Huang Tingjing" and think about the problem, but before I knew it, the thirty-mile waterway had been crossed.
After taking a look at it, it was afternoon, Zhang Daoran did not rush back to the Taoist temple, but slowly rowed around the lotus from the periphery. When he came to the west cliff, Zhang Daoran looked at it for a long time. There is a different feeling from above, and the western cliff falls vertically and is more than 300 meters high, leaving little room for climbing.
"It's a natural barrier......"
Recalling in his mind that the person who had a butterfly jumped down from here, Zhang Daoran couldn't imagine what people would become by the terrifying impact.
"By the way, I remember that there is a water chestnut ....... by Shannan Lake"
Water chestnut is a species of Rhomboidaceae, a genus Rhomboids. Water chestnut is also called waist water, water chestnut, water chestnut, the shape is like a cow's horn, the taste is sweet and sweet, there is no toxicity, it is the fruit of the annual herbaceous aquatic plant water chestnut, it can be eaten when it is cooked and peeled, and it can also be eaten in porridge.
A few days ago, Zhang Daoran saw a piece of water chestnut, at that time the water chestnut was not ripe, and now nearly two months have passed, it should be mature......
Came to a water depth of no more than half a meter, covered with almost hundreds of square meters of water chestnut area. Zhang Daoran has never picked water chestnuts, and only has some basic common sense about water chestnuts. Knowing that the water chestnut grew in the mud, he took off his robe and jumped into the water, Zhang Daoran began to pick it......
It wasn't until he picked dozens of catties that Zhang Daoran got on the boat and returned to the island in the middle of the lake: "Although it can't be eaten as a meal, it can also be eaten as a snack......"
Put the water chestnut into the gray space, Zhang Daoran and Shi Shiran went up the mountain. As soon as I arrived at the gate of the Taoist temple, I saw the big dragon coiled into a snake formation slowly crawling down the mountain. There is some bulging in the middle of the stomach, which should be just full.
Zhang Daoran didn't care, returned to the Taoist temple and took a basin, and went to the back of the Taoist temple to clean the water chestnut.
"Dalong, you foodie!"
When you come to the pool, you can see the entire pond at a glance with its crystal clear water. Originally, the big carp that had eaten the opening elixir had disappeared at this time. Don't even think about it, it must be Dalong, that foodie took advantage of the fact that he was not in the Taoist temple for half a day and ate it secretly.
"This is a poor test subject, and you dare to steal it?"
Washing the water chestnut with some annoyance, Zhang Daoran thought about how to make Dalong have a long memory. The experiment still has to be done, and it can't all be eaten by Da Longchi. This big carp ate the elixir, and before he had time to observe any changes, he became the belly of the great dragon.
"No wonder I ran away when I saw the poor road, I still knew that I had done something wrong......"
Thinking about seeing himself, Dalong immediately ran away, Zhang Daoran was angry and wanted to laugh: "It seems that the spirit pill has worked, and there is a little agility." It's just a pity that this big carp is not willing to eat it......"
