Chapter 281: The Taoist Priest and the Dog

A tractor full of goods drove on the dirt road outside the desert, and the dust raised was mixed with the black smoke spewed out by the tractor, which was quite a kind of obscuring the sky.

The high-pitched folk song was sung from the mouth of the swarthy man in the driver's seat, and the rough and thick singing voice for a while actually covered the sudden sound of the tractor, echoing among the mountains.

After singing the song, the black man shook his head unsatisfied, and said loudly: "Dao Chief, I didn't make you rest, did I?"

But on the top of the mountain of goods behind the tractor, there was a Taoist priest with a leisurely expression.

The Taoist priest's face looked quite young, but his snow-white hair looked very unkind, his dull eyes and the green bamboo he held in his hand all hinted that he was blind.

A half-sized earth dog lay at the feet of the Taoist priest, and its black eyes like mud pills were observing the surroundings intently, like a dutiful guard.

"The singing voice of the layman is simple and natural, the confidence is strong, and the tune is popular, and the poor Taoist thinks that this is an art that only has the people, without any embellishment!" said the Taoist priest slowly.

The black man scratched his head, and said with some shame: "The Taoist chief is worthy of being a cultural person, and the words he says are different!"

The Taoist priest took out a wine gourd from his waist, poured it very casually, and said with a smile: "If you steal it, you should drink a big white!"

"Wang!" the earth dog at the Taoist priest's feet barked, and his head leaned towards the gourd in the Taoist priest's hand.

"What, you're hungry too?" hehe, you are only allowed to drink one sip, otherwise there will be no more!" the Taoist priest rubbed the head of the earth dog and poured the gourd into the open mouth of the earth dog.

The black man smelled the rich aroma of wine coming from behind, and the wine worm in his stomach began to call.

"Daoist, where did you buy this fragrant wine?" the black man inquired.

Poor Dao accidentally cured an old man's illness, and the old man's children had to give Poor Dao a consultation fee, but Poor Dao couldn't refuse, so he took a gourd of sorghum wine brewed at home. The Taoist priest said slowly.

When the black man heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful, if he bought the wine from, there was still a chance, but there was basically no way to make it himself.

"The so-called driving does not drink, drinking does not drive, although there are few people on this road, but for the sake of safety, the poor road does not invite lay people to drink!"

"The Taoist is right, safety first!" the black man echoed honestly.

It's also strange to say, the black man has always thought that Taoist priests should be the same as monks, they should quit meat and alcohol. However, when he saw the young Taoist priest sitting behind him drinking, he not only did not feel awkward, but felt that the Taoist priest exuded a carefree and easy bearing.

However, the kind of freedom on the Taoist priest is not the kind of debauchery in the martial arts, but the calm and elegant and then unrestrained detachment from the dust!

Perhaps it was because of the unique temperament of the Taoist priest that the black man would stop the car when passing by the Taoist priest and take the initiative to ask the Taoist priest if he needed him to take a while.

"Dao Chief, where are you going?" the black man asked.

"There is no destination for this trip, you can go wherever you go!" the Taoist priest replied.

The black man tilted his head, a little unincomprehensible to the Taoist priest's thoughts.

Whether it's traveling, relaxing, or doing errands, how can there be no destination for travel?

Besides, is it really appropriate for a blind man with a dog to wander around aimlessly?

Perhaps, this is the so-called willfulness, right?

"Since the Taoist Leader hasn't decided where to go, why don't you go back to Dashan Village with me?" the black man greeted warmly.

"Dashan Village is the hometown of the laymen?" the Taoist priest asked.

Speaking of his hometown, Hei Han came to his senses, and he grinned: "Our Dashan Village is the most hospitable in the nearby ten miles and eight villages, if you come to our village, I will definitely invite you to drink wine and eat meat at home!"

"These goods on the layman's car were purchased for the village?" the Taoist priest did not accept or refuse, but asked an irrelevant question.

The goods on the tractor are varied, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, daily necessities, books, paper and pens...... They are all indispensable items in life.

"Our village is so remote that if we walked on our feet, it would take us days to get to the nearest town. I bought this tractor this year, which can be used for farming and help the villagers go out to buy some things when I am free. The black man replied, with no dissatisfaction or inferiority on his face because of the remoteness of his village.

"Is there a Taoist temple in the layman's village?" the Taoist priest continued to ask.

The black man only felt that every question of the Taoist priest was irrelevant, and once wondered if he had drunk too much, but he still replied bluntly: "There is no Taoist temple, but there is a broken temple on the mountain outside the village." My grandfather said that there was an old monk in the past, and then there were bandits around the village, and the old monk fled with the merit box, and most of the temple was burned by the bandits, and the Buddha statues inside were gone. ”

The Taoist priest was silent for a moment, and then said with a chuckle: "Supreme Heavenly Venerable, maybe the poor Dao will be harassing the layman's village for a while!"

The black man was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "That relationship is good, I must have two more bowls with the Taoist when the time comes!"

"It's not too late to talk about the matter of drinking, it's better to deal with these door-to-door troubles first!" The Taoist priest suddenly stopped scratching his hands to the earth dog, and the latter stood up quickly as if he was facing a great enemy, staring at the deep mountains and forests on both sides with his eyes.

The sky was already dark before I knew it, especially in this uninhabited mountain, and it was even more eerily quiet.

The wind was blowing, the shadows of the trees were waving, and there seemed to be something lurking in it.

"Wang, Wang!" the earth dog roared sharply, one higher than the other, like a tiger's roar.

The black man was not small, but when he heard this roar coldly, his arms holding the handle couldn't help but tremble heavily.

He had followed the hunter into the mountains, and had heard with his own ears the roar of a large insect, almost exactly the same as the roar of the earth dog!

Whew~~~

The sound of wolves roaring one after another came from the mountains and forests, and the source of the sound seemed to be a tendency to surround the tractors.

A gray wolf with blue eyes and fangs came out of the mountain forest, their mouths let out a low roar, and their sturdy limbs stepped on the ground, as if they would call out at any moment.

"This, how can there be wolves here?" the black man was terrified, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

This is a wild wolf, not a stupid Erha, if you are surrounded by wolves in the wild, it will really be fatal!

"Don't panic, these wolves should still be watching, if the speed of the car slows down now, maybe the wolves will pounce. The Taoist priest reminded in a loud voice, his voice quite calm.

At the same time, the earth dog beside the Taoist priest roared again.

The earth-shattering roar of the tiger startled the wolves back a few steps, and their green eyes were full of fear.
