Chapter 009: Uninvited Guest
Li Youfu, the village head, and Yang Hu, the security captain, are both natives, and they have come up the mountain very quickly, and they have come to the top of the mountain while talking.
However, as soon as the two looked up, they were immediately stunned.
"Hey, Yang Hu, how has this Qingsong View changed, am I getting old and dazzled?!" Li Youfu said in amazement.
"Really, how is this place completely different from before......" Yang Hu looked at the brand-new Taoist temple in front of him, and he was also completely blindsided.
Li Youfu patted Yang Hu with his hand and said, "I can't figure it out, then let's go in and ask!"
Yang Hu nodded and said: "Village chief, the old Taoist chief is no longer here, now in this Qingsong Temple, I'm afraid only the kid from Qingzhu is left, I remember that he was still in the primary school in our village, and then you helped the old Taoist to send him to the middle school in the city, right?"
A flash of memory flashed in Li Youfu's eyes, and he gestured with his hand on his chest and said: "That kid from Qingzhu was only so tall at the beginning, and now he is twenty years old, time flies so fast!"
Yang Hu smiled: "Isn't it, we are also old." ”
While speaking, the two of them had already walked to the gate of the Green Pine Temple.
It's strange to say that before they entered the Taoist temple, the two of them were in awe of the entire Taoist temple, and quickly tidied up the clothes on their bodies, and dusted off the dust and dew on their shoes.
For a while, all the impetuousness in my heart disappeared, but was full of peace and peace.
At this time, the door of Qingsong Temple had already opened, and Li Youfu and Yang Hu slowed down and walked in.
"Oh, old village chief, look, here's ...... How...... Why is it not the same as before?!" Yang Hu's voice trembled a little.
"As long as you are still the captain of the security guard, why are you less daring than a mouse?" Li Youfu reprimanded.
"I ...... I just think ......"
"This is a Taoist temple, not a haunted house, you're afraid of a fart!"
"I ...... I'm not afraid...... It's just that...... I just think it's a little weird......" Yang Hu came back to his senses and replied with a wry smile.
"What's weird, the last time I came to watch the incense, it seems to have been a year ago, it's been so long, what's so strange about some changes?"
Although Li Youfu said so, he was also hairy in his heart.
Because Li Youfu couldn't figure it out, how could a child in Qingzhu have the ability to renovate the entire Taoist temple?!
Yang Hu saw Li Youfu's nervous face, and he felt that this place was even more weird, and he was even more scared in his heart.
At this moment, Li Youfu suddenly took a hard breath and said puzzledly: "Huh, what kind of fragrance is this?!"
Yang Hu also took a deep breath and subconsciously touched his stomach: "Yes, it's so fragrant, it seems to be the taste of porridge, but it's different, anyway, it's much more fragrant than my wife's porridge, just smelling this smell, my stomach is gurgling......"
"It seems to be coming from the backyard, hurry up, let's go over and have a look......"
Li Youfu, the village head, is also very familiar with the terrain of Qingsong Temple, and the two of them followed all the way while smelling the fragrance, and the previous cranky thoughts were gone, pushing open a small door, and stepping into the backyard.
Sure enough, as soon as they stepped into the backyard, the smell of rice became even stronger, and both of them licked their lips in unison.
The kitchen was in the corner of the backyard, and the two walked towards the kitchen.
When they passed by the window, they saw that at this time, in front of the kitchen stove, a man and a bear were sitting on a small bench, with their backs to the window, sucking and drinking porridge.
The aroma of porridge wafted from the big iron pot.
However, when I saw the picture of a person and a bear sitting together drinking porridge, it was really indescribably weird, and the two were petrified in an instant.
After a full minute, Yang Hu still reflected, he lowered his voice and shouted at the window.
"Qingzhu, Qingzhu, yes...... Is that you?!"
At this moment, Qingzhu and the black bear in the kitchen were eating happily, because it was the first time they had drunk such a delicious pumpkin porridge.
Suddenly, he heard someone calling for himself outside, Qingzhu looked back and saw two heads poking in from outside the window.
"Grandpa Li, Uncle Yang, why are you here?!" Qingzhu immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"Qingzhu, you...... You come out first, I'll ...... I have something to ask you......" Li Youfu's voice was very small, mainly because he was worried about being heard by the bear.
"Okay," Qingzhu agreed, raising his foot and kicking the black bear, "Don't eat, don't you see our guests coming, why don't you go and get two ......benches?"
The black bear reluctantly rolled his eyes at the two strangers and walked out of the kitchen as he licked the porridge bowl.
When the big black bear passed by Li Youfu and Yang Hu, they were so frightened that their legs were weak.
Yang Hu couldn't help muttering: "I didn't expect there to be a bear on the mountain, that courier brother didn't lie to me, I knew that I would take a few more people up the mountain together......"
Seeing that the black bear was walking away, Li Youfu pulled the green bamboo and hurriedly asked, "Qing ...... Qingzhu, that bear, is it...... What's going on?!"
Qingzhu hurriedly explained: "Don't be nervous, that bear doesn't bite because it's not a wild ......"
Yang Hu stared at him and asked, "It's not wild, could it be that you raised it?!"
"Well, it's not," Qingzhu didn't know how to explain, so he had to change the topic and ask, "Uncle Yang, Grandpa Li, why do you have time to go up the mountain today?"
"Oh, you kid is making such a big move on the mountain, how can we not come and take a look?" Yang Hu said angrily.
As soon as he finished speaking, the big black bear obediently took two small benches and placed them at the feet of the two.
Li Youfu and Yang Hu looked at each other, but they were not so scared when they saw that the black bear was very human.
Qingzhu pointed to the bench and said, "Grandpa Li, Uncle Yang, you are also tired from going up the mountain, sit down and rest for a while, sit down and talk slowly!"
Watching the bear walk out of the kitchen, Yang Hu sat on the small bench, and Li Youfu also sat down.
Qingzhu simply sat directly on the ground, touched his head, and asked knowingly: "What's the big move?!"
"Good guy, you haven't been up the mountain for a year, and you actually renovated the Qingsong Temple, and you also have a big black bear as a pet, you kid can !!" Li Youfu said with a wry smile.
Qingzhu grinned, didn't say anything, but looked at Yang Hu.
Yang Hu said angrily: "Qingzhu, there was a courier brother before, saying that he saw a bear on the top of the mountain, I still don't believe it, I didn't expect there to be a bear, where did you come from, Uncle Yang is the security captain of the village, I can't just ask about this, you have to tell Uncle Yang about me, right?!"
There was no way, Qingzhu told the story of the first appearance of the black bear.
This black bear, despite its large size, is not wild, but was raised by the circus since childhood.
Qingzhu said that the black bear has been in contact with humans since childhood, so it will not hurt people.
Moreover, Qingzhu begged Li Youfu and Yang Hu that it was best not to spread the news of the bear's appearance on the top of the mountain, lest someone go up the mountain and hurt the bear.
Li Youfu and Yang Hu have just seen that the bear is very human, and it is not fierce, if the relevant departments are really notified to take the bear away, I don't know where it will be sent, I am afraid the ending will be very tragic, it is better to let Qingzhu raise the bear in the Qingsong Temple, anyway, few people come to this mountaintop.
The two of them discussed it slightly, and the matter of the black bear was decided first.
However, the two glanced at each other, and they both saw the suspicious look in each other's eyes, and there were some things that they still couldn't help asking.
So, Yang Hu asked Qingzhu again: "We don't have to pursue the matter of the bear, but there is another thing we don't understand, let me ask you, was this Taoist temple very dilapidated before?"
Qingzhu nodded: "Yes." ”
Yang Hu looked at Li Youfu, Li Youfu frowned and asked: "Qingzhu, who helped you repair this temple, these days, I haven't seen a construction team go up the mountain at the bottom of the mountain, what the hell is going on, you talk to grandpa?"
Yang Hu also asked: "That's right, Qingzhu, I feel that your Taoist temple seems to be a bit mysterious inside and out!"
Qingzhu lowered his head and thought about it, about the change in Qingsongguan, he also knew that he would definitely not be able to hide it, but he couldn't tell the system about it.
Even if he did, no one would believe him, and he might be treated as a psychopath.
Qingzhu really wants to make up a lie, but as a Taoist with cultivation and a moral bottom line, lying will be a crime, and it is estimated that the system will definitely not agree.
Under the constant urging of the two, Qingzhu didn't say anything, I'm afraid he couldn't fool it.
"Grandpa Li, Uncle Yang, do you really want to ask?" Qingzhu said calmly.
"Yes, Qingzhu, do you still have anything unspeakable?" Li Youfu asked loudly.
"Not really. ”
"Then you don't want to say it quickly!"
Under the gaze of the two, the expression on Qingzhu's face suddenly became serious.
He slowly stood up, looked up at the roof, and waved his hand before shouting, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable......"
"Hey, you little kid don't get these mysterious things," before Qingzhu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Hu, "I said Qingzhu, you just tell us bluntly, how did this Qingsong Temple be renovated in a short period of time?"
"Yes, Qingzhu, the most important thing is that the money for the renovation, you and you...... Where did you get it?" Li Youfu also asked.
Li Youfu was the village accountant when he was young, so he naturally knew what Qingsongguan had become, and he also knew that the old Taoist would not leave any money for Qingzhu.
This temple is on the top of the mountain, and it takes a lot of money to renovate it.
Qingzhu is just a poor student in his early twenties, and he has no money in his hands, who did this project?
Yang Hu looked at Li Youfu and said, "Yes, Qingzhu, you have to explain this matter to your uncle clearly, and your uncle doesn't suspect you of anything, it's just that this matter is too strange......"
Li Youfu didn't say anything more, Yang Hu had already said everything he wanted to say, he just stared at Qingzhu.
Then, Qingzhu rolled his eyes, and said both true and false: "Grandpa Li, Uncle Yang, don't think about the bad things, in fact, it's nothing to say, I'm just worried, if I tell the truth, you won't believe me......"
