Chapter 168: Mother's Past 3

Of course, he didn't give up quickly, he also tried this method, renting a simple house, and working hard while working for others to earn money, but it was simply impossible. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The money for work is only enough to maintain food and shelter for the two of them, where can they save money to build a Taoist temple? This is really wishful thinking!

But one day a few months later, he came across a chance!

Chance sometimes always appears when you don't care at all, the old Taoist priest said slowly.

After a few months, an opportunity was placed in front of the old Taoist priest.

A fellow who worked with him told him that there was a Taoist temple on a mountain north of the city, but the old Taoist chief of the Taoist temple had passed away, and now the Taoist temple was deserted, and if he wanted to go, he could go, but he needed to pay fifty taels of silver to the government.

Fifty taels! Although it is still a lot, for the astronomical number of hundreds or even thousands of taels, it is a small number of can't be less.

So after learning the news, the little Taoist priest was so excited that he returned home at night and found out all the savings in the family, but this count, only more than 20 taels of silver, that is, half of the amount was not reached, which made the little Taoist very depressed.

But just when he thought it was impossible, the little girl walked up to him, then patted him on the shoulder, and in front of him, took off a piece of jade pendant that he was carrying, and then put it in the hands of the little Taoist.

"Master, you can take it!" Yes, the little girl recognized the little Taoist priest as her master, and now the little girl who is seven years old has a smile on her face, and for her, as long as she follows the master, it is good to go anywhere.

The little Taoist priest looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and was stunned at first, but then he didn't shirk it, because he was not a mother-in-law, just like when he first saw the little girl, he chose to keep her, just like when he left the Taoist temple.

So the little Taoist priest came to the pawnshop with the jade pendant, this time, the little Taoist priest was shocked, although he thought that this jade pendant should be worth some money, but at most it was fifty or sixty taels of silver to die, but he didn't expect that this piece of thumb-sized jade pendant was actually three hundred taels of silver, which really surprised the little Taoist.

With three hundred taels of silver, the little Taoist priest was very excited, of course, it was not enough for the three hundred taels of silver to build a Taoist temple by himself, but it was enough to buy that small Taoist temple.

So the little Taoist priest did not hesitate, just like his vigorous and resolute character, he came directly to the official mansion, and after paying fifty taels of silver, he took a piece of paper stamped with the official seal and left.

The little Taoist priests didn't know what it was, but they said that they had to keep this piece of paper for a good life, and with this they could open a Taoist temple.

In other words, this piece of paper is worth fifty taels of silver, so he naturally wants to keep it for a good time.

After the jade pendant was lost, the two little Taoist priests had both money and Taoism, and their lives simply changed in an instant.

After the two packed their few luggage, they went out of the city directly and lived in the Taoist temple.

Not to mention, although this Taoist temple is not as big as the Taoist temple that used to be his master, it is not small, and the two of them still have three or four rooms left.

And what made the little Taoist priest happy was that there was a vegetable field behind this Taoist temple, which made him feel that he had a life to rely on.

Now they have two hundred and fifty taels of silver in their hands, plus more than twenty taels of silver in their hands, and more than two hundred and seventy taels of silver, and the flowers they save money for eating are enough for the two of them to live for five or six years.

However, the little Taoist priest naturally did not plan to live by eating only the silver in his hand like this, he was a man with brains and ideas, so after he put away the two hundred and fifty taels of silver, he used the more than twenty taels of silver to buy a few clothes and shoes for each of them, and after buying a lot of food, there were still a few taels of silver left in his hand.

And the remaining more than ten taels of silver, the little Taoist priest bought a double-wheeled cart pulled by people, and some tools for farming, and then used the remaining scattered silver to buy a lot of vegetable seeds.

In this way, the little Taoist priest really returned to the Taoist temple with a full heart.

With new clothes to wear, the little girl was naturally very happy, put on the new clothes, and ran and jumped happily in the yard.

Then the little Taoist priest was not idle, and after putting away the tools, he took the rapeseed to the vegetable field behind the Taoist temple and planted vegetables.

He didn't just want to feed himself, he wanted to sell more of it at the bazaar, so that he could earn enough money for them to live.

In this way, even if you can't live a rich life, you can still eat and drink.

Thinking of a good life in the future, the little Taoist priest also yearned for it.

Speaking of this, the old Taoist priest sighed faintly, then looked at Lan Xue, who had already listened very seriously, and said slowly: "Originally, I thought that such a peaceful life could be peaceful forever, but... What I didn't expect to happen happened anyway. ”

In the years that followed, the little Taoist priest and the little girl lived happily, and although they could not be said to be very rich, at least they did not have to worry about eating and drinking.

And there is a vegetable field, and you don't need to spend money to buy the vegetables you eat, you just need to buy some rice and noodles, and this kind of life is eight years!

In eight years, the little Taoist priest has become a Taoist priest, and the little girl has become a slim girl.

A fifteen-year-old girl and a Taoist priest in her thirties are a special existence in the eyes of many people.

In fact, in the hearts of the two, why not?

There is no love between them, there is only family affection, so many years of getting along, the Taoist priest has treated the girl as his daughter, and the girl also treats this master as a father.

Originally, they thought that life would be fine if it went on like this, but the arrival of that day once again broke their peaceful life.

The Taoist temple is not far from the city, but few people will go there, although this Taoist temple will also be the palace people come in to worship incense, but after all, it is very small, so the people who come have always been very few, pointing to the little incense money, they also want to live.

But what I didn't expect was that on that day, the appearance of a person completely changed their lives!

"What do you mean... My father? "Lan Xue is smart, so she naturally thought of it as soon as she thought about it.

The old Taoist priest nodded and said with a smile: "Yes! That person is your father, the Blue Valley of the Blue Family! ”

"Sure enough!" Lan Xue nodded, and then listened to the old Taoist priest continue to speak slowly.
