Chapter 386: Something Wrong
In the morning, the square in front of the town yamen was crowded with people, and the square had already been occupied.
The people who came to the morning market in the morning heard that Zhuangzi was preaching on the altar in the square in front of the town yamen, and they all came to watch. Seeing that the lecture had not yet started, they went to the market one by one and did things in a hurry. After finishing my errands, I bought breakfast, and rushed to the town government while eating.
"What about people? Why hasn't the altar been opened yet? ”
"Isn't it a lie? Zhuangzi preaching? When did Zhuangzi preach? ”
"You don't know yet? Zhuangzi started preaching yesterday, in his house. The mayor of the town saw that the site of Zhuangzi's house was too small, so he set up a podium on the square in front of the town yamen. This is not? ”
On the square in front of the town yamen, people always didn't see Zhuangzi coming to open the altar to preach, and they became anxious one by one. Many of them did not come to hear Zhuangzi preach, but to meet them because they were in the market. So! They all wanted to see Zhuangzi, listen to Zhuangzi's preaching, and then leave home. There's still farm work to do at home!
"I said who's that? Who said that Zhuangzi opened the altar to preach? That pulpit was opened by Zhuangzi to preach? ”
"Why haven't you heard yet? Zhuangzi opened the altar and preached yesterday! Yesterday he opened the altar to preach in his house. Oh! That man! The whole street is full of people, and you can't squeeze through it......"
"That?" Someone asked, puzzled, "Then why hasn't he preached today?" ”
"yes? Why haven't we preached today? ”
"Did Zhuangzi fail to preach yesterday? Don't have the face to talk about it again? ”
"Huh? Says who? Zhuangzi failed in his preaching? Failed to preach yesterday? ”
"How is that possible?" Someone retorted: "I squeezed through yesterday, that person, there are too many." But I've heard that Zhuangzi's sermons are very successful! Yes! Everyone is listening with their necks stretched and their ears sideways! I'm afraid I'll miss a word! ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! I went yesterday too! ”
Another person testified: "Zhuangzi preached in it, and he didn't speak very quickly, paragraph by paragraph!" He spoke inside, and when he was done, someone conveyed it to the people outside. And then! Zhuangzi will explain it to everyone and answer everyone's doubts......"
The people in the square outside were in a hurry, and the people in the town office, the town mayor, and everyone in the town office were more anxious than the people in the square. I don't know what happened to Zhuangzi, why hasn't he come yet.
Zhang Shan, in particular, was more anxious than everyone else. But his legs and feet are inconvenient, otherwise, he would have to run to Zhuangzi's house to see what is going on.
There is another person who is more anxious than Zhang Shan. This person is none other than the mayor of the town, that is, the "sister-in-law" whom everyone respects.
"What's going on? I said that I would preach today, but why hasn't I come yet? This, this, this? It's cool in the morning. In a few moments, the sun will be on fire! This Zhuangzi? How? Didn't even take that into account? Mrs. Sister-in-law said anxiously.
"Or?" The mayor said flatteringly, "Do you want to send someone to take a look?" ”
"No need!" Mrs. Sister-in-law said: "I believe in Zhuangzi, and if he promises to preach, he will definitely come!" Wait a minute! Wait! Alas! He's a busy man! Wait! Oh! You ask the kitchen to boil more boiling water and put more tea leaves, and put them in front of the town yamen, so that those who listen to the sermon will be thirsty to drink. ”
"Hmmm! Order! The mayor said flatteringly.
After a while, seeing that Zhuangzi had not yet come, the sister-in-law was even more anxious, so she asked the town chief to send someone to Zhuangzi to take a look and ask what was going on.
"Zhuang Zhuang Zhuang, Zhuang Zi! He preached at home! Listen to it, hear it! He's been preaching since last night, and he's been preaching until now! Listen to it! I heard that I haven't eaten breakfast yet! ”
After a while, the inquirer soon came back and told the situation on the Zhuangzi side.
"Haven't eaten breakfast yet? He doesn't want to die? When Mrs. Sister-in-law heard this, she said hurriedly.
"Did you tell him? What should I do here? He? He? How could he forget about the affairs of the town government? ”
"Me, me, me?" The miscellaneous servants who inquired stood up, and finally! I had to tell the truth.
"When I arrived at Zhuangzi's house, I couldn't squeeze in. I want to tell Zhuangzi about the affairs of the town government. But? When they saw that I was always talking, and disturbing their hearings, they drove me back. ”
"You? You? You're so useless! Mrs. Sister-in-law scolded anxiously.
I thought: Why did I send you to waste this bag? Nima Di! You're worse than my man, your mayor! Is!
"Send someone more! Tell Zhuangzi and ask him what to do? Do you continue to preach at home, or do you come to the town government to open the altar? The sister-in-law yelled at the town elder angrily.
When the mayor sent another shrewd man to ask Zhuangzi, the sister-in-law went to the back and instructed the kitchen to prepare a breakfast for Zhuangzi.
She believes! When Zhuangzi knew about the matter, he would definitely come over to preach without breakfast. So! Let someone prepare one first.
Time passes imperceptibly, suddenly! Zhuangzi woke up when he heard a noise outside the courtyard, only to find that it was almost noon.
"Ahh Mistaken! Mistaken! Zhuangzi shouted.
"What time is it? Mistaken! You guys? Why didn't you even warn me? Brother in Black! You? You? How do you protect the Dharma? You? ”
Zhuangzi looked at the black-clothed senior brother and blamed him for not reminding himself, and hurriedly got out of bed.
"Didn't you say yes? Went to the town to preach today? He also promised to eat at the mayor's house and eat the food cooked by his sister-in-law's wife? How? Why didn't you even warn me? ”
When the black-clothed senior brother heard this, he also looked very flustered. I saw him slapping his head while blaming himself: "Me? I? Am I not? Listened to your sermon and got hooked? Oh! Do I have a memory? I? ”
"Wait! Wait a minute! Zhuangzi! You? You're not done yet, are you? How do we survive in the cracks? How can we change our perspective? This, this, this? It's easier said than done. How can we not be swayed by others? ”
"Zhuangzi! Don't you go? Let's talk about it again! Let's talk about it again! Finish talking about this topic? Zhuangzi? ”
"You're not done yet! Zhuangzi! Let's talk about it again! Let's talk about it again! I'll get it a little bit more! ”
"This, this, this? This should be talked about on our side first, right? How? Ran to the square in front of the town yamen again? This, this, this? I haven't understood it yet! ”
"I didn't understand either, did I?"
There were a few protectors with poor receptivity who followed Zhuangzi and wanted Zhuangzi to finish the topic.
"Brother Zhuang! You haven't eaten breakfast yet! Brother Zhuang! I've got a pancake! Pancakes! The seller also got off the bed, and before he had time to put on his shoes, he just dragged his shoes and shouted behind Zhuangzi.
"It's too late! It's too late! I'm going to preach at the town office! Otherwise! People will curse! Zhuangzi said as he ran out of the courtyard.
Seeing that Zhuangzi ran away in a panic, the two gray-clothed protectors also followed behind and ran outside.
Seeing this, the senior brother in black also ran behind. Several white-haired old monsters also followed. Seeing this, the other Dharma protectors also followed Zhuangzi. The money shopkeeper was flustered and followed!
All of a sudden! Zhuangzi was followed by a long procession.
