When Miss Cui Qi began labor reform and marched in the direction of Gu's second sister-in-law, Ouyang Dashao took Nianfu and came to the opposite bank of Xuancheng over the mountains and mountains.

The water flow on Wutong Mountain gathers here to form a river channel that is not too narrow, if it is a detour, you have to walk for at least half a day, but if you cross it directly, you have to queue up to take a boat.

"How so?" Nianfu got down from the carriage and asked the monk who helped with the ferry, "Master, I remember that there was a bridge a few days ago, but what about the bridge?" ”

The monk sighed, "After a few spring rains, the water level rose sharply, and the pontoon bridge collapsed again. If you look closely, there are no traces of wooden stakes? ”

Nian Fu looked closely, and sure enough, he saw that there were wooden bridges and iron cables at a depth of a foot below the shore of the water.

Ouyang Kang also came over and asked, "Since it is flooded every year, why don't you ask the government to build a stone bridge here?" ”

"Why didn't you ask for it? But this place is at the junction of several towns, and it happens to be a three-way thing. And a few years ago, the world was in turmoil, how could anyone care? Now although the new dynasty has been established, no yamen is rich, where do we go? ”

"Then why don't you ask for donations from wealthy people nearby? That's a merit. ”

"Childe may not be here much, and I don't know what is going on in our local area. Although it is a short road to Xuancheng, the road is steep all the way, and the rich people have good carriages and run fast, but they would rather go farther and walk more steadily, so they are not willing to donate. Most of the people who walked from here were poor people on both sides, and how much could they donate? ”

The monk pointed to a cornice on the mountain, and then to a merit box on the edge of the ferry, "Look. Our Nantai Monastery is located halfway up the mountainside, and the presiding master has wanted to make this great merit since he was young. But after decades of fundraising, the money raised every year is only enough to wait for the water to recede and build a pontoon bridge. But you can't afford not to repair it, otherwise you won't be able to cross the river. ”

Ouyang Kang's heart moved when he heard this, "How much does it cost to build a stone bridge?" ”

The monk took a serious look at him, and saw that although he was dressed plainly, his appearance was very good, maybe he was a gold owner, so he said sincerely, "Actually, it doesn't cost much." Over the years, Master has often taken us to dig rocks in the mountains, and we have accumulated a lot of materials. As long as you hire a capable craftsman who can build bridges, another two or three hundred taels of silver is enough. Don't worry, this money temple will not dare to be greedy, and will only use it to build bridges. If you don't believe in it, you can take a look at our merit book, every donation received over the past few decades, and where the money is spent are clear, and they are not coaxing. ”

Ouyang Kang smiled, "Master is polite. We can trust that. ”

Seeing what he said and said that there was no more, the monk's eyes that were originally shining with hope dimmed again, sighed lowly, turned around and wiped the corners of his eyes. "Seeing that Master's days are numbered, I don't know if there will be a day in my life when I will see the completion of this bridge with my own eyes."

Nian Fu glanced at Ouyang Kang suspiciously, but saw that he shook his head slightly. Glancing at the people who were still in the long queue again, Nianfu understood. No more speech.

Lan Gu looked at the two of them and didn't know what they meant, and couldn't help frowning. But in front of so many people outside, she didn't squeak.

After waiting for almost an hour, they finally waited for the four of their masters and servants.

The ferry boat is narrow, the people are good to pass, the carriage is a little troublesome, can only be disassembled, a few monks first carry the car on the boat and drag it over, and then let Mo Yun lead the horse, a total of four masters and servants, but divided into three trips, not to mention the waste of time, but also tired of the monks who came up and down in the water for a long time.

Ouyang Kang was very reluctant to go, and asked Lan Gu to take a piece of silver to thank them, but the monk didn't accept the money, but said, "It's a meritorious thing, and I don't dare to collect money." If the son is willing, he will leave a name to donate money for the repair of the bridge. ”

Ouyang Kang nodded, donated money in the name of Lan Gu, and then set up the car and continued to take people on the road.

When he entered the city, he found the inn to rest, closed the door, and Nianfu took out his large package, "I have more than two hundred taels of silver, do you mean to donate it here?" ”

There were a lot of people at the ferry, and Ouyang Kang didn't let her say more, because he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.

At this time, he saw Ouyang Dashao raise his eyebrows and smile, and hooked his finger at her, "Come here, you listen to me." ”

Nima is also too demonic, see it, there are dimples, it's a pear vortex smile! Brother Mu couldn't resist the temptation of beauty and came up.

The two of them bit their ears lowly, and Lan Gu came in with tea and saw it, her brows furrowed even tighter, and she coughed heavily before the two were scattered.

However, after the separation, Nianfu didn't blush or avoid it, he still stood opposite Ouyang Kang, and asked suspiciously, "Wouldn't it be good to do this?" ”

"What's wrong?" Ouyang Kang's chin raised, "People respect me for a foot, and I respect people." But what if someone destroys you? ”

"I'll destroy him ten grains?"

"Wrong!" Ouyang Dashao raised his eyebrows, and despised Nian Fu fiercely with the little eyes that hated iron but not steel, "What's the point of harming others and yourself?" You should take him at least ten fights! ”

Well, no wonder people often say, in fact, hooligans are not terrible, they are afraid that hooligans are cultured. In the end, the people who have read the book are more fierce, and they know what to do, and they count the money with their burdens.

Lan Gu finally found an opportunity to mention Ouyang Kang, "Sister Mu is a girl after all, even if it is men's clothing, you can't get too close outside, in case someone sees it, they have a bad reputation for each other." ”

Ouyang Dashao didn't know what to think, his face turned red instantly, and he promised to write it down, Aunt Lan was satisfied with the end, and thought about when he would have to knock Sister Mu in time. Let her remember her identity, even if she is not her own minion, how can she be on an equal footing with her eldest young master everywhere, and she doesn't know how to be humble?

These things are not mentioned for the time being, and the next day, it happens to be April 28, the birthday of the Medicine King Bodhisattva, and many people have to go to Fangguang Temple in Xuancheng to worship. Those who are sick seek peace, and those who are not sick seek peace of mind.

A group of pilgrims come and go, the monks chant the scriptures, and at noon, it is the lively time of the almsgiving meal, and suddenly there are little monks to report to the inside, saying, "Master Fuyuan, the host of Nantai Temple, is here!" ”

When Master Juehui, the white and chubby host of the temple, heard this, his expression suddenly changed, "Please!" ”

Don't look at him now, he is much stronger than the poor and poor Master Fuyuan on Wutong Mountain, but that master talks about seniority, but his uncle, especially the family, is dedicated to Buddha and cultivates ascetic meditation, which is very admirable.

When I personally greeted the general, I saw that the uncle I hadn't seen for a long time was obviously older and thinner, his hair was all white, and the whole person was almost shrunk into a ball, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.

"Uncle Shi, you went down the mountain in person, why didn't you let your nephew go to greet you?"

Master Fuyuan waved his hand happily, and the old man's voice was full of joy, "With these little apprentices carrying, where do you still need to pick it up?" But I'm here today, and I really have something to trouble you. ”

"What's the trouble? Uncle Shi, please command. ”

Juehui noticed that Uncle Shi wore a formal abbot's robe today, although it was all washed and white, it was neatly draped on his body, showing that he was very cautious.

Master Fuyuan beckoned, and beckoned a delicate and lovely little girl from behind him, "I came today because I know that you have a wide range of people, can you please help invite the old lady of the Hou family over, borrow your treasure land, and do something for this girl?" ”

Although Juehui is a little inexplicable, he is familiar with the old man and wife of the Hou family. Both of them happen to be in the temple, just go and invite them over, but what is this going to do?

When Hou Xianglin and Mrs. Hou came over, they thought that Abbot Juehui was going to give them some blessings alone, and their interest was quite high.

said that there was such a farce at the birthday banquet of Old Man Hou, and the life of his wife was really not good, everyone didn't say it openly, and the spitting stars in the secret were about to drown people. Especially Hou Fangyu has moved to his grandfather's yard since that day, serving the decoction without undressing, ignoring all the affairs of the outside world, if he is in a hurry, he only says, "If you don't come to honor, is it wrong for me to honor grandpa on your behalf?" ”

Choked the Hou couple and had nowhere to go if they had fire, and the old man had been in much worse shape since he vomited blood that day, whether it was for fame or to save his son's heart, the Hou couple had to do something. coincided with the birthday of the medicine king Bodhisattva, and the two discussed doing a great ritual for the old man, and then invited the doctor of the city medicine hall to come over to give medicine and medicine, which also won a lot of praise.

As soon as the couple felt that the reconstruction had established its prestige, and they came to the compound with some confidence, they saw that there were already many pilgrims gathered there.

The little monk shouted, "Please let go, Old Master Hou and Mrs. Hou are here!" The crowd automatically split up and let the couple pass.

Enjoying such courtesy, they are quite proud, but when they walked into the crowd, they saw that there was a kind eyebrow standing next to Master Juehui, and at first glance it was an old monk who had attained the Tao, and next to the old monk, how could there be a delicate and beautiful little girl?

The couple's hearts choked at the same time, what's wrong? Why is this girl running here again?

But I saw that Master Juehui first introduced the two parties, and then said with a smile, "Please Master Hou, Mrs. Hou is not here to come, just to settle an old case." Little donor, say it yourself. ”

"Master Xie Lu, Master Xie." Nianfu deliberately changed the patched women's clothes brought by the family today, and responded crisply, walked in front of everyone, and saluted, "Grandparents, uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters, I am the granddaughter of the Shi family in Huai'an Town, Sister Mu." ”

As soon as these words landed, the crowd suddenly erupted in exclamations, "This is Sister Mu?" What a Peugeot little lady! It's strange that Master Hu wants to have a bad heart, and he really didn't wronged him. ”

The audience discussed, Nianfu smiled generously, "If you want to come to my business, everyone has heard about it, so you must know that I owe the Hou family five hundred taels of silver, right?" ”

The Hou couple listened to it and their hearts sank, this girl mentioned this matter in front of so many people, what did she want to do?

(Hehe, next, everyone understands~~~) (To be continued......)
