Chapter 010: White Lies
"Then you just say it quickly, if you don't say it, how do you know that we won't believe it?" Li Youfu's eyebrows wrinkled tighter and tighter.
"That's the case, my master and his old man drove to the west, one night, I had a dream, dreamed of my master, he told me, now he has become an immortal, said that the Qingsong Temple is too dilapidated, it is inconvenient to live, to help me repair it, I didn't expect, I woke up one night, I opened my eyes and looked, the Qingsong Temple became what it is now......"
Qingzhu said these words, although he hid some information, but it can't be regarded as a complete lie.
At least, the system didn't jump out to warn him, and Qingzhu was finally a lot more relieved.
Listening to Qingzhu's words, Li Youfu looked at Yang Hu, and the two looked at each other, both of them in disbelief.
To say that it is a bit of nonsense.
What age is it now, and even if the people in the mountains are ignorant, they don't believe in these superstitious things.
But if you don't believe it, it's impossible to repair the entire Taoist temple by relying on this young man in front of you.
No matter how you think about it, this matter is also inexplicable by common sense!
In the end, Li Youfu and Yang Hu had no choice but to acquiesce to Qingzhu's statement, and there was no better explanation anyway.
Qingzhu also understood in his heart that the two men opposite were smart people, especially Li Youfu, otherwise he would not have become the head of a village from an accountant in a village.
So, Qingzhu added: "Uncle Yang, Grandpa Li, if you don't believe it, you can ask my master ...... old Taoist."
"Uh...... That...... Then there is no need......" Yang Hu hurriedly shook his head and said.
"Qingzhu, about the renovation of the Taoist temple, it's good that you know it in your own heart, don't tell outsiders, if the relevant departments in the city hear the news and send someone down to investigate, then I am afraid that you will not ......be able to fool those words just now," Li Youfu said with a wry smile.
Qingzhu nodded: "Well, okay, then I'll remember." ”
Li Youfu looked left and right, his eyes fixed on the big iron pot, and changed the topic and said, "Qingzhu, what is delicious cooking in your pot, why does it smell so good?"
Qingzhu said with a smile: "I don't have anything good here, this is the pumpkin I grew myself, and the pumpkin porridge I boiled......"
Li Youfu also smiled: "Can the pumpkin be so fragrant, I don't believe it, what is that, you give me a bowl for me to taste." ”
Yang Hu was also hungry, and then said: "All the way up the mountain, we didn't care about having breakfast, bring me a bowl too, hurry!"
The taste of pumpkin porridge was so fragrant that their stomachs were screaming incessantly, and they couldn't help but want to drink porridge.
Qingzhu lifted the lid of the pot and looked down, and there was only a little bit of porridge left at the bottom of the pot, which was estimated to be less than two bowls.
Qingzhu said a little apologetically: "Oh, there is not much porridge, let the black bear eat it, Grandpa Li, Uncle Yang, the two of you can only have half a bowl per person, I'm really embarrassed!"
"It's okay, it's okay, let's just try it, just take a bite and taste it. Li Youfu said.
So, Qingzhu divided the little pumpkin porridge left into two bowls and handed it to the two.
The golden pumpkin porridge, although it is small, is golden at the bottom of the bowl, like gold, which makes people inevitably swallow saliva when they see it.
"Oh, the color is so beautiful!!" Li Youfu said.
Before Li Youfu finished speaking, he saw that after Yang Hu drank a sip of porridge, his eyes instantly straightened, and then he picked up the bowl and poured it into his mouth frantically, looking at it, it was like he hadn't eaten for a year.
"Hey, I said Yang Hu, look at your eating appearance, like a starving ghost, it's not a shame......"
"Village chief, if you don't drink it, give me half a bowl of porridge!"
"Hmph, why did you give it to you?"
Li Youfu saw Yang Hu's hungry wolf-like eyes, and thought: It's just pumpkin porridge, who hasn't drunk it, where can it be delicious?
What's even more excessive is that Yang Hu actually put down his bowl and reached over to grab Li Youfu's bowl.
Li Youfu hurriedly turned his back and brought the bowl to his mouth, and he only took a small sip.
Unexpectedly, the pumpkin porridge had just been eaten, and Li Youfu's eyes brightened significantly.
A rich fragrance fills the mouth, with sweetness in the fragrance, and the sweetness is endless, it is difficult to describe the taste of pumpkin porridge in words, it is a taste of happiness!!
Then, Li Youfu couldn't help it, and drank all the porridge in one go, with an expression on his face that was more greedy than Yang Hu.
It's so delicious, so delicious, is this pumpkin porridge?!
I can't believe that there is such a delicious porridge in this world?!
Yang Hu on the side had already licked the bottom of the bowl clean, stared at Qingzhu with a longing look, and asked, "Qingzhu, ...... Anything else?!"
Qingzhu pointed to the big iron pot, shook his head and said, "No...... No more ......"
Yang Hu still seemed to be unwilling, lifted the lid of the pot, scraped the bottom of the pot with a spoon for a long time, and actually began to lick the spoon.
That action was so disgusting that Qingzhu couldn't bear to look at it.
Li Youfu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to Qingzhu: "Qingzhu, your pumpkin is really good, do you still have seeds, next year our village can also plant a batch of such pumpkins, such a good variety, it must be very easy to sell, this is a good opportunity for our whole village to get rid of poverty and become rich!!
Looking at the eager eyes of the village chief, Qingzhu didn't know how to answer.
Yang Hu on the side finished licking the spoon, and he saw half of the pumpkin on the cutting board at a glance, and suddenly rushed over with an arrow step, and held the pumpkin in his arms.
"Qingzhu, this half of the pumpkin will be given to Uncle Yang, right?" Yang Hu said excitedly.
"No, no, no, cut the pumpkin, we're two families and half!" Li Youfu hurriedly said.
"Huh?!" Qingzhu's face was full of black lines.
It's not that Qingzhu is stingy, because it's just morning, lunch and dinner, and Qingzhu still expects this half of the pumpkin to solve it?
If the remaining half of the pumpkin is taken away by them, then what will Qingzhu and the black bear eat all day?
"Qingzhu, why did you kid become so stingy, you didn't eat less at my house when you were a child!" Li Youfu snatched the pumpkin in Yang Hu's arms and said.
"But ......"
"But what, turn around, I'll ask your aunt to send you some food, won't it be over......" Yang Hu snatched the pumpkin from Li Youfu's arms again.
After finishing speaking, Yang Hu hugged half a pumpkin, turned around and ran outside.
"Yang Hu, don't run away, you kid, you have a share, we are half of us......" Li Youfu chased after him.
This old man and a young man, who are also big people with heads and faces in the backing village, actually went to Qingsong Temple to rob, and Qingzhu couldn't cry or laugh.
The pumpkin was snatched away, and Qingzhu had to go to the vegetable field outside the courtyard wall, dig a soil pit, take out a precious pumpkin seed, and plant it in the soil.
Hopefully, when I wake up early tomorrow morning, I'll be able to receive a big pumpkin again.
After breakfast, Qingzhu was ready to do hygiene.
When he walked into the courtyard, he saw the black bear eating a lot, sitting under the pine tree as if dozing.
When you're full, you're sleepy, it's too unusual, Qingzhu is so angry!
He took the broom and walked under the tree and stuffed the broom into the hand of the black bear: "Bear, this is the Qingsong Temple, and you don't raise idlers or idle bears, if you still want to live here, you have to make a contribution, and in the future, this yard will be yours to clean." ”
"Ah......h
Although this bear is cute, it is lazy by nature, otherwise it would not have eaten so fat and closed down the circus.
"Hey, are you pretending not to understand, well, if you don't work, I'll cook pumpkin porridge in the future, don't even think about it......"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Qingzhu's words fell, the black bear immediately stood up, picked up the broom with both hands, and obediently began to clean the yard.
Although this bear's ability to sweep the floor is not strong, it is not strong, but it can be regarded as labor.
Now that it's okay, Qingzhu's workload is reduced, and he has more time to play with his mobile phone.
No, no, no, it's not playing with a mobile phone, it's about reading books and learning on the Internet.
As for what books to read, only Qingzhu himself knows.
……
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it's almost noon.
The black bear swept the yard all morning, kept shouting for pumpkin porridge, held an empty bowl with two paws, and stared at the green bamboo with tears in his eyes.
However, the pumpkin is gone, and Qingzhu is also worried about what to eat at noon.
At this moment, I heard the voice of a woman with a loud voice in the distance.
"When I married to the mountain village, Qingzhu's little fart was still wearing open crotch pants, and I also touched his little finch, I didn't expect that so soon, he would become the head of the Qingsong Temple, Qingzhu, your aunt is here, see what delicious food your aunt has brought you......"
When Qingzhu heard this, his face turned red when he was said.
He had already heard that the woman who spoke was Yang Hu's wife, Li Chunhua.
In the past few years, the old Taoist chief's health has not been good, and Qingzhu has been staying on the top of the mountain to accompany the old Taoist chief, and he rarely goes down the mountain.
However, Qingzhu is still deeply impressed by Li Chunhua, a woman.
Li Chunhua and Yang Hu have been married for more than ten years, and at that time, it was still an auspicious day for the zodiac that the old Taoist helped choose.
Therefore, on the day of marriage, the old Taoist took Qingzhu to the bottom of the mountain for a wedding banquet.
Qingzhu was already a teenager at the time, and he remembered with great certainty that he definitely didn't wear open crotch pants that day.
This Li Chunhua is straightforward and straightforward, a very good person, but she has a big mouth and dares to say anything, and it is not necessarily the truth.
Qingzhu when she was a child, although she was never touched by Li Chunhua, she must have been spanked by her, more than once.
Thinking that he would see this spicy woman again in a while, Qingzhu subconsciously touched his buttocks, and he was a little numb.
Qingzhu first asked the black bear to hide in the backyard, although Li Chunhua was spicy, but after all, she was a woman, so as not to be scared by the black bear.
Soon, a plainly dressed middle-aged woman, carrying an old hen in her hand, walked into the Taoist temple.
Behind Li Chunhua, there was also a young man, a few years older than Qingzhu, who looked shy.
As soon as Li Chunhua saw Qingzhu, she smiled and said, "Qingzhu, my aunt came to see you and brought you a lot of delicious things?"
When Qingzhu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
In this poor and remote place, food is always the most important thing.
