Chapter Seventy-Two: The Stinky Daoist

Before they could figure out a clue, Apricot and Ling'er came in with a meal, the dishes were quite rich, there were vegetables and chicken, but the staple food was very pitiful, although there was a little chicken soup in the bowl, but most of the bowl was soup, and the bottom of the bowl was only a shallow layer of porridge made of sorghum rice and corn together.

Apricot said with some guilt: "Sister Xiaoyu, there is not much food now, you can make do with it first, if the porridge is not enough, you can eat more vegetables, and the dishes should be more......"

"Don't worry about me, didn't I just drink a few bowls of porridge, and I'm not very hungry now, have you eaten? Is it enough? ”

Lin Yu replied, it would be good to have food in this situation now, I drank so many bowls of porridge when I woke up just now, and it should be me who felt guilty, and I don't know if I drank everyone's rations, and now Xingzi and Ling'er brought her the food, maybe everyone thought that she was a patient, so they also gave an extra amount, hey, I don't know if Uncle Zhuzi came back from labor, is it enough to eat?

"My dad is eating, don't worry, our family's food can last for two days, but there is not much, so I just want to save some, I'm afraid I won't be able to last after two days......" Apricot quickly explained, she grew up with grandma, grandma taught her how to manage the family since she was a child, how to manage the family diligently, and now although grandma is gone, these things that taught her are firmly engraved into her brain.

"Okay, but don't add more of these meals to me in the future, let's let Uncle Zhuzi and them eat more, they make all the body ......" Lin Yu nodded, Apricot is so virtuous at this age. Even she can't compare.

"Let's talk about this, now that you are still a patient, it is the right thing to take care of your body quickly......" Apricot said reluctantly with a smile.

Lin Yu thought that he would have to bury his grandmother tomorrow. I can't stay in bed, so I don't want to be hypocritical, and I finish the meal sent by the two of them in three or two clicks, so that the two of them can go out to eat quickly.

The next morning, the rain finally stopped, and before dawn, everyone thought about burying Grandma. They all got up early.

Because Lin Yu expressed to Uncle Zhu last night that he was also going to participate in Grandma's ceremony, and seeing that she also got up, everyone didn't stop her, but Uncle Zhu still told her to pay attention to her body. If you feel uncomfortable, you should come back to rest, Lin Yu knew that Uncle Zhu was concerned about him, so he quickly nodded.

When the sky was slightly bright, the Taoist priest also came. He also pulled a thin coffin. Because of the earthquake in the past few days. There are too many casualties, and it rains and the road is not easy to walk, and the attitude of the stinky Taoist priest is very bad, as soon as he arrives at the door, he complains, saying that he is too busy these days, and he has to pull the coffin for them, you must know that the coffin is now that money can't buy it, if it wasn't for the two days ago, it was ordered. He didn't want to smash his signboard, so he couldn't bear to pull them over. Now this thin coffin has to be sold for a good coffin, and everyone is still rushing to ask for it; He complained that the road was too difficult to walk, and his ox cart was estimated to have to be overhauled when he went back, otherwise it would be scrapped, and there were many poor people along the road, and he was almost robbed

Uncle Zhu kept making amends on the side, and said good things carefully, for fear that this Taoist priest would pick on him. Lin Yu has lived for so long, naturally knows that this Taoist priest has spent so many words, just to sit on the ground and raise the price, her heart is very angry, but she is afraid of delaying the auspicious time to bury her grandmother, so she tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, and also followed the kind words to persuade her, I hope that this Taoist priest can find out with his conscience and start work soon.

But the Taoist priest didn't eat oil and salt, he was angry with himself, he was thirsty for a while, and he had no strength for a while. ”

The Taoist priest was muttering that there was no sensible person in this family, and after listening to Lin Yu's question, he secretly said in his heart: "Finally, there is an enlightened one!" But his face was not obvious, only frowned and said: "Hey, it's not that I don't want to start work, I just pinched it, no wonder I didn't go well when I came to your house, it's really your feng shui and my five elements are compatible, and now I'm thinking of a way to crack it."

Seeing that the Taoist priest was pretending, Lin Yu asked in a cold voice: "Then I don't know if I have thought of a way to crack it?"

"There is a way," the Taoist priest pretended to say.

"What kind of method, the Taoist chief said to listen to it" Lin Yu asked again, Uncle Zhu and a few children were also looking forward to it, hoping that the Taoist priest could really say the way.

The Taoist priest listened to Lin Yu's question, pretended to look around, and then said: "The method is simple, but I don't know if you want to."

"Do you want silver? How many taels? Say it" Lin Yu looked at this stinky Taoist priest with a smile, but he just wanted to add money, but he wanted to make up a set of sanctimonious words for himself.

The Taoist priest stared at Lin Yu in surprise, shook his head and smiled: "The girl's words are wrong, you errand, you can't make the poor Yangshou have been reduced, how can you ignore your life and death for a few taels of silver?" Anyway, it costs fifty taels of silver! ”

"Fifty taels?" Everyone's jaws are about to fall, this Taoist priest is too black-hearted!

"Dao Chief, didn't I already give you a silver order before? Now that you have seen our condition, please show mercy and receive less, right? Uncle Zhu hurriedly said, hoping that this Taoist priest would find out with his conscience.

"You gave me silver before, but isn't that a different market, besides, I am already short of fire in the five elements, and now your land is full of water, and I am almost out of breath if I want to have the energy to do things, don't I have to use silver to suppress the shock?" In order to increase the price, the Taoist priest couldn't help but start talking nonsense to refute Uncle Zhuzi.

"It's okay if you want to increase the price, but fifty taels is too much, we can't take it out, you have to have less," Lin Yu interrupted him, bargaining. Now this Taoist priest is determined to collect this black-hearted money, but he has no choice, so he has to let him less, so as not to really miss the auspicious time.

But the Taoist priest heard Lin Yu bargaining, but did not agree, only heard him say: "Fifty is not much, you know, there are still families in another village waiting for me, and I will give eighty taels directly, if I hadn't promised you before, it would have passed a long time ago, besides, you are already with me here, I have to find a way to restrain myself when I go back, so as not to really reduce my life, now as long as you fifty taels can be regarded as cheap for you, you are still embarrassed to bargain."

After saying that, he made a gesture to pull the coffin back.

"Dao Chief, you can do it well, take less, right? You see, we don't have anything left in our family, where did you get these fifty taels, you should pity us, okay? Uncle Zhu pulled the Taoist priest's ox cart and pleaded bitterly.

The Taoist priest pretended to glance at the collapsed house of Uncle Zhuzi's house again, and sighed lamentingly: "Hey, it's not that the poor Dao doesn't want to help you, it's really destiny."

"Dao Chief, how much silver are you willing to do for us?" Although she knew that the Taoist priest wanted to get away with it, Lin Yu still asked, and decided in her heart that as long as the price offered by the Taoist priest was reasonable, she would immediately go home and rummage through the silver coins buried in the ground.

"Hey, I know you're anxious, but don't I feel embarrassed? Otherwise, I also see that you are really pitiful, how about five taels of silver? The Taoist priest pretended to grit his teeth and said ruthlessly.

"Five taels less is too little, Dao Chief, you have come here anyway, can't you get a penny if you go back empty-handed like this, you have also seen our family like this, or you will directly lose twenty taels, okay?" Lin Yu saw that his tone finally softened a little, and he couldn't help but slow down and say.

"Oh, that's not good, it's too little" Listening to Lin Yu's words, the Taoist priest kept shaking his head and refused, and said: "Doing things here in your place will greatly hurt the vitality of the poor Dao, thirty taels is too little"

"Thirty-five taels!" Lin Yu had no choice but to increase the price.

The Taoist priest still kept shaking his head, Lin Yu was angry, so he had to say again: "Forty taels, if you agree, stay, if you don't agree, Uncle Zhuzi, you better let the Taoist go, we really can't afford to pay so much money."

Lin Yu also came to a desire to capture, she expected that this Taoist priest would agree, although he ate dead people's money, but he was also a businessman, if he really did not agree to this price, then he would go back to be equivalent to nothing, but he knew that they were in a hurry to bury grandma, and they could get one by one.
