146 Zhangjiang Dayan Village to see a doctor
Two flowers bloomed, each with a branch, it is said that Zhao Daqing, the old man Zhang Jiang, and Zhao Xuan came to the vicinity of the Wong Tai Sin Taoist Temple after dressing up together.
The nearest village to Wong Tai Sin Taoist Temple is called Dayan Village. In order to observe the Wong Tai Sin Taoist Temple up close, the three of them found different families to live in this village. This is discussed by three people in advance, if the three people live together, it will soon attract the attention of others, and the scope of contact with the villagers will be very narrow, although it is safer for the three people to be together, but the information collected will also be the same path, and it is not helpful to find the information of the weasel, so more contact with the villagers, and conduct a comprehensive investigation of the Wong Tai Sin Taoist Temple, it is obviously more advantageous to separate. The old man Zhang Jiang is most worried about Zhao Xuan Zhao Gongzi, because he is a scholar himself, and he has never been in contact with things outside the family, because the family is very rich, and the surrounding villagers have not had any dealings, and the people who deal with him are those who have a strong scholarly spirit, and it is still quite difficult to make him a rough man in the countrysideγ
The old man Zhang Jiang was originally a Lang Zhong, holding a ring spirit in his hand, which has always been in the village, and soon a family invited him into the house, just in time for the woman in the family to be sick, and invited Lang Zhong to come in and have a look. As soon as the old man Zhang Jiang entered their house, he knew that this was a poor family, a black house, an empty house, in addition to a big kang, the most conspicuous thing was that there was a group of large cabinets on the side of the wall, which was common in rural people, mainly used to hold food, because there was no other furniture at home, so a lot of needles and threads were also hidden in the wall cabinet, and the only furniture in the house was a table of eight immortals for eating, as well as two chairs and a stool. The sick woman was lying on the kang, the old man Zhang Jiang walked over, the owner of the house moved a stool for the old man Zhang Jiang, and then the old man reached out to check the pulse of the woman, Zhang Jiang nodded uncontrollably, and then moved to the table of the eight immortals.
Middle-aged man, "My name is Zhang Ergou, may I ask the doctor, what is your surname?
Old man Zhang Jiang, "Your daughter-in-law has been sick for a long time, although she has no worries about her life, but she doesn't know what to eat, and she has eaten her stomach. β
Zhang Ergou, "Don't hide it from your old man, my daughter-in-law's illness has been for a while, at the beginning of the Huang Daxian Temple, the Taoist priest there showed it, said that there was no serious illness, gave us some holy water, and gave us some fragrant soil, said that after drinking, it will be fine, who knows that after drinking, it will be even more powerful, because I really have no money in my hands, and I went to the temple to ask those Taoist priests, they didn't even give water and soil this time, I really have no choice." β
Old man Zhang Jiang, "It's good that you didn't drink his water anymore, and you didn't ask for his fragrant soil anymore, if you asked for some more, you don't need to treat your daughter-in-law now, he has long gone." Your daughter-in-law is very ordinary, her stomach hurts, let you go to the temple to have a look, the water that drinks him must be unclean, not to mention those fragrant soil, it is a pinch of incense ash, there are all magazines in it, and they meet inside, because they often burn Daofu, the cinnabar content in it is very high, ordinary people will have problems when they drink it, and his stomach is uncomfortable, and then give him these fragrant soil containing cinnabar, doesn't it kill him?"
We also know that we should go to the doctor when we are sick, but in the Taoist temple, they accumulate virtue and do good, and they don't need to pay for medical treatment, and many people say that it works, so we also have a disease and go to the doctor, and the Taoist temple is so close to our home, it is very convenient to go to the hospital, so I went to try it. β
Old man Zhang Jiang, "Do all the people in your village have to go to the Taoist temple when they are sick? What is the reaction of other people except your daughter-in-law? Is there anyone else who is like your daughter-in-law?"
Zhang Ergou, "I really let your old man tell me, there is an old aunt in the west of our village, who has a boil on her body, and they also gave holy water and fragrant soil, who knows, after eating and drinking, the boil burst in a few days, and the old man drove to the west." So now we are all avoiding this Taoist temple and don't dare to approach them anymore. β
Old man Zhang Jiang, "Do you know the details of this Taoist temple? Do you know when this Taoist temple was built? What kind of person is the Taoist chief inside?"
Zhang Ergou, "This Taoist temple has not been established for a long time, about one or two decades, the Taoist in it is called Huang Taixian, not often in the Taoist temple, but it is said that he is very spiritual, what is it?" There is spirituality no one has ever seen, are some shadowless talk, but I see that the incense in the Taoist temple is very vigorous, and the surrounding villages are not much contact, the people in the Taoist temple are often mysterious, what is the situation inside, no one knows, our village is closest to the Taoist temple, and the people who do things for the Taoist temple also live in the village, and they usually don't have much contact with everyone. By the way, in two days there will be a temple fair held by the Taoist temple, and there will be a lot of people around, in addition to the incense, there is also a big market. The Taoist temple will hold a grand ceremony, and Huang Daxian will definitely appear at that time. β
When the old man Zhang Jiang heard this, he hurriedly called Zhang Ergou to find Zhao Daqing and Zhao Xuan to discuss countermeasures together.
At this time, the courtyard where Zhao Daqing lived was the courtyard of Qian Laoer, who was in charge of affairs in the temple. In order to get Wong Tai Sin's reward, he specially collected how old the children are, as the saying goes, rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, he doesn't dare to blatantly collect in Dayan Village, because he still has to live here, if this secret is revealed, he can't live in this village, so he is specifically looking for the surrounding villages to collect children's information, according to Wong Tai Sin's requirements, five or six years old children are the most suitable, because these children have no impression of the family in their minds, and they have grown to an age where they are not easy to make trouble, The most important thing is that these children grow very fast, and it is very easy to recover after taking blood, so Qian Lao Er specially asked five or six-year-old children to inquire, whether it is a boy or a girl, as long as he knows, he will report to the temple, and those old Taoists will do everything possible to arrest these children.
Qian Lao's daughter-in-law is also a money string, and gossiping and stirring up right and wrong in the streets and alleys is his livelihood. On this day, Zhao Daqing was looking for a place to live, Qian Laoer's daughter-in-law and Zhao Daqing discussed the house money, and led him to his own home.
In order to find some clues from the mouths of these two people, Zhao Daqing also wanted to be close to these two people, and it was more convenient to talk.
Qian Lao Er saw that Zhao Daqing was tall and big, and he was dressed well, and he also wanted to slap him, so he came forward to talk to him, "This brother, it seems that you are not a descendant of our Zhuang family, it seems that you are from a martial arts background, why did you come to our place?"
Zhao Daqing looked at Qian Lao'er, and saw that this person was a splash in the village, he didn't have a serious business, let alone a serious farmer, maybe he would be inextricably linked with this temple. So Zhao Daqing also said very kindly to him, "I am in Liangxiang County to take care of the family's nursing home, two days later I heard that there is a big market here, the host is going to come to the market, let me take a look in advance, arrange their accommodation, and more importantly, see if it is safe." How did I hear that there are often incidents in this place recently, and several villages around it have lost children, which makes everyone panic, and I don't know how to report it to the owner's family. β
Qian Lao Er, "This is all a shadowless thing, it's all nonsense, now this is a bright and clear thing, how can there be anything to lose the child, these people are full of food, look at the Wong Tai Sin Taoist Temple a little red, into the heart of disgusting people, the temple fair here has been held for decades, you want to buy anything, I don't know what your master does? If you are doing business, it is a big bazaar, there are many people coming, and you will have a good harvest in any business. β
Zhao Daqing, "It seems that you have a good relationship with the Taoist temple, can you help me get in touch?" Let our master come and find a place to rest in the Taoist temple, if you can let my master meet the Taoist chief Huang Daxian, it would be better, Second Brother Qian, I heard that your Taoism is good, can you help me arrange the arrangement?"
When Qian Lao Er heard him say this, his face was a little proud, but he thought in his heart, how can there be such a picky person, how can he help you contact you in a word? But on the surface, he didn't show it, but handed him this meaning with words, "There are a lot of people in this big set, and many characters with heads and faces want to live in the Taoist temple, with my relationship with the Taoist chief, this matter is not impossible, but I also have to find those in charge to take care of it, you can't let me stick to the money, right?"
Zhao Daqing, "I definitely won't let Brother Qian do it in vain, which Taoist chief are you familiar with?If you have no head and no face, we can't go to him, although after living in the Taoist temple, we have spent money, but when we can't see Huang Tai Sin Dao Chief, then I will have no face in front of my master, if I can meet Huang Tai Sin Dao Chief, our master may also give him some incense money, at that time, Brother Qian, you have the final say, how much silver does it cost to fight people?"
Qian Lao Er, "It doesn't take much silver, you can do it by getting 10 taels and 20 taels of scattered silver, if you want to donate incense money to the temple, then it is better to see the Taoist, how much silver can your master do? β
Zhao Daqing, "The owner of our family is very generous, there are quite big deals in Liangxiang County and Youzhou City, and it has been a little uncomfortable recently, so I want to practice in the Taoist temple, and do some business by the way, if I can see Huang Daxian and help him crack it, there are tens of thousands of taels of silver." People who do business are now paying attention to peace, silver is nothing in their eyes, if you can get in touch with Huang Tai Sin Dao Chang, Brother Qian, your credit should be a piece of handwork, and it is also possible to give you dozens of taels of errand money, do you have any real friendship with them?"
Qian Laoer, "Big brother, if you look for me, you are right, I am the only one who has a relationship with the temple in this village, and the temple often asks me to do things, you know that when the temple does things, it needs boys and girls, and those Taoist priests are in the temple every day, how do they know who has children?
Zhao Daqing heard him say this, and he hated it in his heart, it turned out that this was a Taoist temple, and the information of these children was transmitted to the temple through him, and he would be cleaned up when the time came. Although he thought so in his heart, Zhao Daqing was still kind on the surface, "Then you can help me to contact and contact, if I can meet with the Taoist priest in the temple and finalize the time and place, I will go to pick up our master, do you think this is good?"
Exactly: looking for no trace, there is a hateful person in front of you.
Zhao Daqing listened to some clues from Qian Laoer, and was about to inquire further, when a person suddenly came in the courtyard, and he went to the hall to raise his vigilance.
