Chapter 568 - Pending Orders
After the beggar left, the onlookers dispersed.
Xia Yinhua pressed her thumping heart, and almost threw herself into Yang Xianmao's arms. When he saw Yang Xianmao's faint expression, he stood up again, looking at him in a daze, not knowing if he had himself in his heart.
After staying for a while, Xia Yinhua said a little bitterly: "You, you have been in my store, but you didn't tell me?"
"I have to be in the shadows to spot the enemy, so I can't tell you. Now that the beggar brother has issued a stern warning to Mali, I believe that the shopkeeper and his son do not have the courage to provoke these rebel leaders of Wuthering Heights. They will use other methods to deal with me, but they don't dare to use you as a blackmail, and it will be too costly for them to offend the beggars, so you can operate with confidence. They won't come to trouble you again, and I can rest assured. ”
As soon as she heard this, Xia Yinhua's heart tightened suddenly, she took two steps forward, arrived in front of Yang Xianmao, looked up at her and said, "What about you? You, are you still staying? Are you still setting up a stall with me?"
When she asked this, Xia Yinhua actually knew the answer, because after Yang Xianmao said that, it meant that he would leave sooner or later.
Sure enough, Yang Xianmao nodded and said, "I am a wanderer in the four seas, and I don't know where I will go next." ”
"You can stay, we agreed, you give me the money, I'm your woman! Don't go, live with me, I'll open a tea shop, you set up a stall." Whether it's fortune telling, or treating people, we're together, okay?"
Xia Yinhua's voice trembled a little, her heart was pounding, full of anticipation, she looked at Yang Xianmao with gains and losses, expecting him to nod, in that case, she would rush into his arms desperately.
Yang Xianmao sighed secretly in his heart, he was a person with five disadvantages and three shortcomings, which had been confirmed when crossing the river before. Not only is he destined to have no wife and no concubine, but he is also destined to be unable to stay with a woman for a long time, regardless of whether it is in the name of a wife or concubine. This is the meaning of widowhood. In this case, why provoke other people's yellow flower girls, it will be sad in the end.
So Yang Xianmao smiled apologetically, and found an unreliable but absolutely valid excuse, he took out his Taoist priest from his arms and unfolded it to her.
Through the afterglow of the sky, Xia Yinhua saw clearly that it was written: Yiwen Taoist, commonly known as Yang Xianmao, as well as the description of his origin, date of birth and physical appearance, is Yang Xianmao.
Xia Yinhua's face turned pale, she bit her red lip lightly, looked at Yang Xianmao in a daze, and said, "You, are you really a monk?" I thought you were pretending to ......."
Yang Xianmao didn't speak, slowly took Du Mu back and put it in his arms, although this was just a convenience for him to practice medicine, he didn't plan to really be a Taoist priest. However, this became his best excuse to politely reject Xia Yinhua.
Xia Yinhua sighed, lowered her head and walked towards the tea shop.
Yang Xianmao also turned his head and walked to the tea table in the tea shop, picked up the wooden box he put on the ground, put it on his back, and picked up the guise to leave.
Xia Yinhua suddenly stopped him again and said, "You wait!"
Yang Xianmao stopped. Xia Yinhua said: "If you haven't found a new place to go, can you still come to me every day to tell the fortune and see a doctor?" Help me carry water, three bowls of tea a day, and six cooking cakes. Chop wood for me and add a meal of wine and food. By the way, can you drink alcohol as a monk?"
Yang Xianmao listened to her words with sadness and pleading, her heart softened, she nodded, and said, "My faction can drink." As he spoke, he walked forward without looking back.
Xia Yinhua was overjoyed when she heard his words, which showed that Yang Xianmao had promised to come to her in the future, at least until he had a new place to go. She was delighted, and her beautiful eyes were clouded with a layer of mist. looked at his back with affection. Although he has become a monk and cannot have results with himself, as long as he can see him from time to time, his heart is warm, and for Xia Yinhua, this is enough.
Yang Xianmao walked along the bluestone street, it was already dark, and the roadside pavements and the windows of his house showed light, dappled to illuminate the road under his feet.
As he was walking, suddenly, someone called him in a loud voice from the alley on the side of the street: "Could this be Yang Xianmao Yang Daoyou?"
Yang Xianmao stood and turned his head to look, but it was the Qingfeng Dao chief who was invited to help exorcise ghosts when he saw the daughter of Mr. Xu in Xujia Village last time.
He took two disciples and came out of an alley, just right, Yang Xianmao walked under an eaves, and two lanterns hung on the eaves were brightly illuminated, and he recognized it at a glance.
Yang Xianmao smiled reluctantly, nodded and said, "It turned out to be the Qingfeng Dao Chief, what a blessing!"
Qingfeng Dao Chang stepped forward with a smile, glanced at Yang Xianmao in a Taoist robe, and said, "It turns out that Brother Yang is really a fellow Daoist, but he doesn't know what to call the honorific title?"
"An article, an article for a penny for medical treatment. ”
Qingfeng Daoist laughed and said, "Yang Daoyou uses Yiwen as the number of the Dao, which is really unique. However, this can also accurately reflect Yiwen Daoyou's benevolent heart and broad mind to help the world, admiration and admiration, but I don't know where Yang Daoyou is going?"
Yang Xianmao smiled and said, "I'm about to find a place to live." ”
Qingfeng Dao Chang's eyes rolled and said: "I see, this is easy to do, if Yang Daoyou doesn't have a suitable place to stay, it is better to go to the contempt to place an order." Didn't you say last time that it was okay to show people feng shui practices together to cure diseases?"
"Oh, is the Daoist's Gym nearby?"
"It's not too far, it's three or five miles ahead, and it's by the river. ”
Yang Xianmao thought about it, and finally asked: "I don't know how to calculate the accommodation fee in your Taoist Temple?"
Qingfeng Daoist was stunned for a moment, laughed, and said: "Although the Taoist Temple is small, it is also for the Taoist friends to eat and live. Moreover, with your medical skills and techniques, if you want to make money, isn't it a lot of money? Moreover, we fell in love at first sight, and worked together to do Dharma affairs, and last time you recommended it to Mr. Xu to do Dharma affairs, and made a lot of money. I want to give it to you, you don't want it, you can settle down in my Taoist temple now, that's our fate, what kind of money is not to talk about, you can live with peace of mind, you can live for as long as you want. There are indeed a lot of people who come to me for practice, and many of them ask for medical treatment and feng shui. I don't understand this, we can shoot together, and the money we make is evenly divided, what do you think?"
Yang Xianmao is actually reluctant to associate with this kind of so-called cultivator who only has money in his eyes, but what does the other party say, he doesn't hide it, but he is also frank, and he is at least at ease when dealing with such a person, so Yang Xianmao nodded and said: "That's good, but I eat and live in your Taoist temple, if someone sees feng shui and sees a doctor, only one penny will be charged each time, and the rest of the money will be regarded as my room and board bill, and all of it will belong to you." ”
Unexpectedly, this Qingfeng Dao Leader was not a person who forgot his righteousness, so he waved his hand again and again and said: "That's not good, I can't take advantage of you." Of course, if you don't want to take care of the money, I can help you find a way to collect the money. Don't worry, I have a solution. ”
Yang Xianmao thought in his heart that he didn't know if he could keep the money if he didn't have it in his hands, but he could try it, so he nodded and said, "Since this is the case, just follow what the Taoist chief said." ”
Qingfeng Dao Chang couldn't help but be overjoyed, and leaned into his ear and whispered: "In addition, there is another Taoist precept that I want to make clear that my sect does not abstain from alcohol and meat. I am an old man who does things for people, and I never refuse good wine and meat. Let's get it to the point, don't feel unhappy when you see me drinking wine and eating meat, hahaha. ”
Yang Xianmao smiled and said, "I like the character of the Taoist very much, this is okay." It just so happens that my faction does not abstain from alcohol and meat. ”
"In that case, then we can be said to be like-minded, hahaha. ”
The two laughed loudly, walked side by side, and within three or five miles, they went down the main street, turned west in the alley, and reached the river.
A round of full moon hangs in the sky, illuminates the river water and reflects the silver light piece, it is very charming, in a bamboo forest by the river, there is a small Taoist temple. By the moonlight, you can see the plaque hanging on the gate of the Taoist temple, which is the "Qingfeng Temple".
After entering, the courtyard is not big, but the main halls such as the Mountain Gate Palace, the Sanqing Palace, and the Jade Emperor Hall are all there, and they are listed in front. The dining hall and side rooms are in the back.
Qingfeng Dao Chang led Yang Xianmao to a room in the back hall, this room is divided into two suites, the outer room is a small living room, and a portrait of the Jade Emperor is hung in the middle hall. Underneath is the offering table, and on either side of the offering table are two chairs. On the other side is the bedroom, which is also relatively simple, with a wooden bed, a standing cabinet, a round table, and a chair. There are also simple toiletry tools, and the bedding is brand new.
This house is next to the river, and when you open the back window, you can see the river, and you can faintly hear the sound of the river flowing. Qingfeng Dao Leader asked, "Do you still like Daoist friends living here?"
Yang Xianmao nodded and said, "Very satisfied, thank you Dao Chief." ”
Qingfeng Dao Chang was very hospitable, and immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare a table of wine banquets, and to catch the wind and wash the dust with Yang Xianmao.
Yang Xianmao did not shirk, the banquet was quickly prepared, the two of them talked about the wine, said very happy, ate and drank until late at night, and then dispersed, and went back to their rooms to sleep.
The next morning, after Yang Xianmao got up, a little Taoist priest brought washing water, served him to wash, and then brought a meal.
Yang Xianmao asked about the Qingfeng Daoist, but said that he went out early in the morning to do things for others, and left a message for Yang Xianmao to treat the Taoist temple as his own home, and there was no need to be restrained. Yang Xianmao felt a little more grateful to the Taoist in his heart.
Tea and rice had been prepared in the Taoist temple, but Yang Xianmao did not eat it, he always felt that it was not good to disturb others too much, and it was good to have a place to stay. Moreover, he would prefer to go to Xia Yinhua's tea shop to help her do things, and then eat her bowl of hot tea and two cooking cakes, which makes him feel more warm.
