Aunt Xiaorou neatly put away the scattered hay and wood in the cave, lit a fire, and drove Du Xiaoxi and Liu Yao to roast by the fire, turned her head and began to sort out the things she brought out. °C Eight '°C Eight ' °C Read ' °C Book, .■.o↑

Master Xile came out of the cave and said to Second Master Liu, "Let's go, let's go back and bring people." ”

Liu Zi'an sighed, put on an oilcloth and a robe, and followed Master Joy back the same way.

Liu Zi'an silently followed behind Master Xile, walking one foot deep and one foot shallow, looking at the back of Master Xile in front of him, and his heart was troubled. Today, the actions of Master Joy are not at all like that of an enlightened monk, whether it is the decisiveness of deciding to get off the ship or the person who leaves the boat to go first, this is not what a compassionate monk should do. Could it be that Master Xile is not a high-spirited monk at all, but a pseudo-monk with a kind face and a black heart?

There are a lot of monks in the big business, and the temple also occupies a vast fertile field and mountains, and many people directly hang their fields in the nearby temple in order to avoid paying taxes, or shave their heads to occupy a place in the temple to evade taxes. Liu Zi'an is well-informed, and has also encountered many pickled dirty things in temples that forcibly occupy people's fields, and the monks are powerful, and many people end up ruined.

Liu Zi'an couldn't help but conspire when he thought of the selfishness in the temple, why did Master Xile stuff his apprentice into the Liu family as a daughter-in-law, did he take a fancy to his family's land and his family's land?

Master Xile didn't need to turn his head to know what Second Master Liu was thinking and didn't explain, he snorted and hurried forward, muttering in his heart: Your family's field and your family's land have a fart that is so proud, Lao Wei has taken a fancy to your son!

Walking out of the woods and seeing a group of people rushing towards this side in the rain, Liu Zi'an squinted his eyes and saw that it was not a few boatmen on Jiang Laoliu's boat? Baba baa! Black-hearted! Didn't you say that there was no place to stop nearby! How did you find it?

Jiang Lao Liu was also surprised when he saw the two of them, and when he saw the two of them coming out of the woods, he knew that the two of them already knew that there was a cave inside, and he didn't feel embarrassed, but preemptively attacked, "Master looked at you going this way." We took the liberty of following us, but we didn't know if we could find a place to stay? "As for the fact that they knew where they could rest, he didn't say who knows.

Master Xile did not debunk himself, it was only in his memory that he knew that there was a bandit's den in the forest, chanting the Buddha nodded, "After the woods behind you, you can encounter a cave, donors go and avoid it, the old man has to inform other donors to take the first step." ”

Liu Zi'an looked at the hundred and ten people in front of him and began to worry again, now that there is not a protected adult around his son, will he be driven out by these people, or he will go back to see first. Such a large group of people went this way. As long as you're not stupid, you'll follow, right?

"Lord Liu, be kind to others, and be kind to others. Let's go. Don't worry, they'll be fine. ”

The matter is related to his son Liu Zi'an, even if he gets the words of Master Xile, he is not at ease, and deliberately said: "Since Master Xile said so, Liu is relieved." "Bring out the name of the Master of Joy, and these people will not dare to touch his son when they want to come.

Sure enough, as soon as the name of the joyful master came out, Jiang Lao Liu brought people into a commotion. Didn't Master Xile go to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet? Why are they running this quack?

Jiang Lao Liu has been running a boat for so many years, and he has heard of the name of a monk very little. Master Ke Xile was the first person whose disciples traveled thousands of miles to the mountains in a boat to visit him, and he was the kind who persevered and only asked to see him once a year. Obviously, when he got off the boat, he specifically asked him if there was a suitable place nearby. Now that he has found it, Master Joy is really not an ordinary person.

Shang Yuzhang and Shang Yujue were also surprised to hear that Master Xile was here, and Master Xile naturally knew that if they could enter the eyes of the master and be accepted into the door. You can be looked at at home and outside.

Shang Yuzhang saw that Master Xile was leaving, hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and said with a smile: "Master, slow down, the rain is slippery, it's better to let a few boys inform the rest of the people." After speaking, without waiting for Master Xile's reaction, he directly asked Jiang Lao Liu to arrange for someone to come over.

Seeing that many people began to walk back to find someone, Master Xile did not insist on thanking Shang Yuzhang and followed the large team back.

Waiting for the two of them and Shang Yuzhang and his party to rush back to the cave. It was already completely dark.

Seeing that the two of them came back, Huai Ming and Qingfeng hurriedly helped, and the wet hat was taken clean, and they cleaned up and cleaned up, and drank a large bowl of white porridge around the fire.

It was pitch black outside the cave. The storm, rain, lightning and thunder came down one after another, and the sound of Jiang Lao Liu leading people to clean up the cave came. Everyone hid in a small cave around the fire, but they felt extremely relieved.

"Let's all sleep." Waiting for the outside to subside, Master Joy sighed and beckoned everyone to hurry up and rest.

There was only one broken kang in the small cave where a lot of stones had fallen, and finally refused to push Du Xiaoxi, Liu Yao and Huaiming and Du Liu and Aunt Xiaorou to sleep on the bed, and the others worked on the floor next to the fire.

After working for most of the day, several people were tired and sleepy, and soon fell asleep. Du Xiaoxi didn't wake up in the middle of the night when the next wave of people came.

Du Xiaoxi was woken up.

Early in the morning, even if the rain outside did not lighten, the occasional silver and white lightning bolt illuminated the cave, but it still could not stop the crying.

Jiang Lao Liu's people came early and occupied a big cave sheltered from the wind and rain, seeing that the rain could not stop for a while, Jiang Lao Liu planned to let a few people go outside to see if they could find something to eat.

Jingtai Boat Company is all over the canal ferries, usually they are directly in the Jingtai Boat Company's base to purchase supplies, although there are some reserves on the ship, but so many people can't last two days. Now I can only try my luck outside.

Jiang Lao Liu has encountered many similar situations for decades, but there has not been a single rainstorm like this one. When he got off the boat, Jiang Lao Liu beckoned his subordinates to bring everything they could take, and naturally the top priority of eating would not be less.

When he got up in the morning, Jiang Lao Liu asked people to cook a big pot of hot porridge, planning to share a little bit to nourish his stomach and go to the cold.

The problem lies in this pot of porridge.

Jiang Lao Liu took all the food on the boat, and the others just wanted to take something and had nothing, not to mention that at that time, a boat capsized, and the other people on the boat subconsciously squeezed off the boat, so naturally no one paid attention to the problem of food. So a lot of people come here alone, and it's good to remember to bring a few more clothes.

Yesterday, I was frightened and tired and walked for a long time, and finally stopped, and I fell asleep hungry. When I woke up early this morning and smelled the smell of porridge wafting from Jiang Laoliu's side, the adults could still bear the fact that the child was already crying and shouting to eat.

"The principal is okay, the child had a fever and cried last night. You can fill your child's stomach with a bowl of porridge. The little woman knelt on the ground with a red face of three or four years old, and pleaded loudly. It was full of people with children who wanted a bite to eat.

"Mother, I'm so hungry! I want to drink porridge! ”

"Mother, Bao'er is hungry, Bao'er is hungry!"

After waiting for a long time, before eating, several children began to cry.

In the cave, Jiang Lao Liu calmly ate pickles and nibbled on steamed buns, and there was a bowl of gruel in front of him, which he usually disdained, and there was an extra boiled egg in front of Shang Yuzhang's brothers. Shang Yujue was so hungry that he pouted and swallowed the steamed buns, and when he saw that his brother didn't move, he hurriedly urged: "Brother, let's eat it." Shang Yujue thought that his brother was disgusted if he didn't eat it, so he persuaded him.

The crying outside intensified. The crying of a woman and a child just now has now been added to the angry denunciation of a man.

Jiang Lao Liu wiped his mouth after eating. Without raising his head, he said: "The two young masters have nothing to do, it's better not to go out, wait for the rain to stop and the water recedes, and we can leave." ”

"How much food do we have, can't we give it to them? Will something happen if they continue to make trouble like this? ”

Jiang Lao Liu sneered in his heart. "Young Master Zhang, look at how many people there are in this cave, we don't have enough food for ourselves, let alone so many people outside. There is a lot of food in the woods, and they just want to rely on us. These people are just shouting so loudly that they really want to do it, and few people dare to stand up. Cool and cool, they can give a sweet date later. ”

After Jiang Lao Liu finished speaking, he didn't care whether the two young masters ate or not, and directly ordered a dozen strong men resting on the cave wall and said, "Erzhuzi, you take someone to the forest to see if there is anything to eat." Brothers, be careful, what's really going on with this lack of medical treatment, and the gods can't save you! ”

Erzhuzi answered, and walked away with a knife.

The people who were still arguing with the few people guarding the door outside the cave saw a group of people coming out with big knives, and suddenly quieted down, and some of the timid ones ran away. Erzhu deliberately took the knife and gestured in a circle, hehe, smiled, picked up the hat next to him, and led people into the rain. Leaving a group of people who want to make a fuss and are afraid that these murderers will give them two blows, and they are even more reluctant to leave, they have already paid for the meal when they get on the boat, and the boat should take care of the meal.

If Jiang Lao Liu knew that someone was still worried about letting him take care of the food, I don't know if he would laugh out of his stomach. Although the emperor is the backer and is not afraid of these people, in this environment, people are provoked and do everything. This trip was unlucky enough, and Jiang Lao Liu didn't want anything to happen again.

Jiang Lao Liu ran on the river all the year round, and stood in the crowd with a swarthy face, waiting for everyone to look at it before he said unhurriedly: "Everyone also knows the rules of our Jingtai boat line. The food on this ship was all taken at the supply point of the ship, and there were not many things on the ship, only a few bags of rice. Not to mention how many people came on our Jingtai boat. There are a lot of passengers from other merchants, and that bit of rice is not enough for a meal. Besides, you don't have a pot to divide it, I think that when the time comes, the old people and children can just share a little, as for the adults, there are a lot of mushrooms and wild vegetables in the forest, and if you are lucky, you can still hit wild things, so why bother staring at this bit of rice. Let's disperse, and when there are elderly people and children in each family, come over and bring back a bowl of gruel to nourish the stomach. After saying that, let the woman who made a bowl full of hot porridge for the child's fever.

Jiang Lao Liu said this, sure enough, many people stopped, Jingtai Boat Company asked for a high price, and most of the people who took the boat had small assets, and the food on the road was rarely dealt with with dry food, and most of them got off the boat to bring fresh food up, and the food on the ship was also used as snacks and supper, and it was not enough for so many people to eat a meal.

Jingtai's proprietor is the emperor, and if there is really going to be bloodshed, he will be beaten by Jiang Lao Liu and said that he is a rebellion, and there is no place for them to cry.

They also came to make trouble because they knew that the rain this time would not be small, and the elderly and children would definitely have an upset stomach if they stayed in the cave for a few days. They can do it, but the elderly and children can't just have porridge to nourish their stomachs.

Those who wanted to understand had retreated, ready to go back and hurry up to find something to eat, if the nearby wild vegetables were picked they would have to go further away, so it was better not to leave too far at this time.

There were a few faceless and skinless people who didn't want to leave, Jiang Lao Liu didn't care at all, and motioned to the few people who were watching the entrance of the cave to wipe the long knife in their hands back into the cave.

"Jiang is still old and spicy, and Jiang is a good means to manage things." Shang Yuzhang saw that Jiang Lao Liu had a few words, and he said that the person who had been making trouble early in the morning was gone, and praised it heartily.

Jiang Lao Liu waved his hand modestly, "Young Master Zhang praised it falsely, I also have a little more experience in the things I have encountered, in the final analysis, it is better for His Majesty to educate the people of the Holy Ming, and these people dare not offend the Holy Inheritance." ”

"What Steward Jiang said is that His Majesty has the prosperity and peace of today." Shang Yuzhang agreed very much with Jiang Laoliu's words. As a child of the royal family, even if they can't write anything, they will have a sense of pride in their bones, and they will have the same blood as the emperor. Praise the emperor and they will also be honored.

Shang Yujue has an impulsive temperament and is easy to speak, and his aunt and Shang Yuzhang have warned him since he was a child that when he said about the emperor's majesty, the harem lady and the prince, he should not talk and be dumb, because he caused trouble to the family because of a wrong sentence. Shang Yujue didn't feel that there was any big problem with his mind talking without thinking, but since he was a child, a good companion said, "Of course the world is my family!" He never heard anything about his friends again. From then on, he followed the teachings of his aunt and brother, and did not dare to use the word of praise at the mention of the saint.

Hearing his brother and Jiang Lao Liu say, Emperor Shang Yujue closed his ears and said that he went to sleep for a while and went to make up for sleep.

Shang Yuzhang and the two talked for a while, and then they brought something to see Master Xile, the master brought a few children, and the children were delicate, so it was better to send some over.

Yuzhang, the merchant who took this trip, felt extremely unlucky, and he didn't know how long he would stay in this ghost place, but fortunately, there was an unexpected joy of Master Joy.

……

Listening to the commotion over there over Jiang Lao Liu, needless to say, he knew why, Master Xile didn't have the intention of going to make peace, and the commanders Qingsong Qingfeng and Du Liu went out with hats to find food.

Master Xile only knew from Jiang Laoliu's memory that there was such a place, and Jiang Laoliu and they were also here for the first time. Qingsong: They go out early, and it's best to look around before anyone else. Since it is a bandit's den and a place to live, it will definitely plant a fruit tree and plant some vegetables, even if a few years have passed, there will be nothing left. Qingsong, they found a few people who could still eat as much as they wanted, and they couldn't eat anything if they were really driven away by others.
