Chapter Thirty-Seven: Capture a Stupid Taoist Priest
"yes, it's fate." The vegetable farmer who was not very good at ordering was standing up and said very enthusiastically, "Xiaodao chief, come soon, sit here." ”
That enthusiasm looks like the little Taoist priest is a relative and friend.
"Thank you." The little Taoist priest was also polite, and after thanking them, he sat down at their table.
Li Chunfeng looked over, and saw that the little Taoist was not very old, he was sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in tattered clothes, although he pretended to be a Taoist priest, but compared with a Taoist priest like Yuan Tiangang, he had a bit of an "amateur" feeling, and he could see that this was a poor Taoist.
The little Taoist priest smiled innocently, judging from the conversation between the vegetable farmers just now, this little Taoist priest should not be deeply involved.
The little Taoist priest sat at the table of the four vegetable farmers, and before he could speak, the vegetable farmer said, "Boss, help me get a bowl of paste." ”
"Okay, Lang Jun wait."
After sitting down, the vegetable farmer glanced at the other person, and only heard the other person: "Little Daoist, how do you feel about the vegetables we sold to you yesterday?" ”
"It's good," Xiaodao Changhan smiled, "Thanks to a few Lang Jun, they sell cheap vegetables with me." ”
"You're welcome, you're welcome, but hey......" The vegetable farmer pretended to say something and stopped, deliberately arousing the curiosity of the little Taoist.
"Why did Lang Jun sigh?"
The vegetable farmer said: "Hey, yesterday, I sold the vegetables cheaper to the Taoist chief, but when I returned home, my lady knew about it and had a big quarrel with me. ”
"Huh? ......" the trail chief looked a little embarrassed.
"The Taoist chief doesn't need to take it to heart," the vegetable farmer said, "In fact, I know in my own heart that even if I don't sell it cheaply, I can't save enough money for my mother's medical treatment." ”
"Huh? Lang Jun's mother is sick? When the Taoist heard that the money from the other party's vegetable sales was used to see a doctor, he couldn't help but feel worried.
The vegetable farmer shook his head and sighed: "Hey, yes, after a day of late treatment, my mother's illness is a little worse." ”
Looking at the vegetable farmer's worried expression, Xiaodao Chang felt compassion and said, "Since Lang Jun sells money and is in urgent need of medical treatment, I will make up for this vegetable money with Lang Jun." ”
As he spoke, the little Taoist took out half a hanging of money from his pocket: "I have this money left, Lang Jun will take it to treat his mother for the time being." ”
The money that the little Taoist took out was completely enough to supplement the money for yesterday's vegetables, and he took it out, and he was also compassionate.
Seeing the money taken out by the little chief, the vegetable farmer's eyes lit up with gold, and he didn't have time to hide the joy on his face, picked up the copper coins on the table, and said again and again: "Thank you Xiaodao, thank you Xiaodaochang." ”
Putting away the money, the vegetable farmer stood up and said, "Xiaodao Chief, I still have to go to see my mother, so I'll go first." ”
"Lang Jun, hurry up!"
The four vegetable farmers stood up and strode away, disappearing from view in a short time.
Until now, the little Taoist has not realized that he has been deceived.
Li Chunfeng, who was on the side, fully understood the ins and outs of the matter, glanced at the little Taoist, and said, "This little Taoist priest is stupid and cute." ”
Such a simple folk custom, people like blank paper, I'm afraid that it will only appear in ancient times, right? People like this, if they were placed in modern times, would definitely be left with no bones left.
Such a scheming person is exactly what Li Chunfeng needs.
Li Chunfeng stood up, sat down at a table with the little Taoist, and said, "Don't you mind if I sit here?" ”
"Don't mind, don't mind."
Li Chunfeng looked straight at the little Taoist, and the little Taoist was a little hairy at the bottom of his heart when Li Chunfeng looked at him: "This Langjun, we know each other?" ”
Li Chunfeng shook his head: "I don't know." ”
"Then why do you keep staring at me?"
"Xiaodao Chief, do you have any suspicion that those people just now are lying to you?" Li Chunfeng feels that for such a "stupid" person, going straight to the point is the best way to have a conversation.
The little Taoist priest smiled heartily: "Lie to me? Why are they lying to me? ”
"To cheat you out of your money."
The little Taoist priest smiled: "Impossible, if they wanted to cheat me out of money, they wouldn't have sold me the vegetables at a low price yesterday." ”
For what the vegetable farmer said just now, Xiao Daochang turned out to be 100% trusting, such a "stupid" person makes people have an urge to pinch to death, but after thinking about it for a while, Li Chunfeng felt that it was better not to let him know the "cruel" reality, so as not to hit him.
"Two Langjun, your meal."
"Thank you."
The boss said: "The two Lang Jun, but together?" ”
Li Chunfeng shook his head: "No, I'm alone." ”
"Oh, okay, the two Lang Jun's meals are a penny."
"Okay." Li Chunfeng nodded, took out a penny from his pocket and handed it to the boss, but when he looked at the little Taoist on the other side, he was in trouble over there.
The little Taoist said with a depressed face: "Boss, I don't have enough money on me, can I give it another day?" ”
"Another day?" When the boss heard Xiao Daochang's words, his face suddenly became unsightly, "This Xiao Langjun, you don't bring money when you go out to eat, is it possible that you want to eat for nothing?" ”
"No, no, no, I brought the money, but it was all given to the Lang Jun who was sitting here just now." The little Taoist priest explained.
"Humph! If you don't give you money, I'll arrest you and take you to the officials!" ”
The boss felt like he was being played by the little Taoist, and as soon as he got angry, he pulled up the little Taoist and wanted to see the official.
"Wait!" Li Chunfeng spoke, "I gave him his share." With that, Li Chunfeng took out another penny and handed it to the boss.
"Humph! That's pretty much it! The boss took the money, and there was no reason to arrest people, so he snorted coldly, turned around and continued to do his work.
Li Chunfeng helped the little Taoist solve the problem, and the little Taoist was grateful for a while: "Thank you Langjun, thank you Langjun, when I have money in the future, I will definitely repay Langjun." ”
The little Taoist priest thanked him again and again, and Li Chunfeng said: "Forget it, when I invite you to eat this meal, you must remember to keep your share when you help people in the future." ”
"How's that going to work?" Xiaodao Chang also came up stubbornly and said, "I will definitely return this money to Lang Jun, please ask Lang Jun's surname." ”
"Li Chunfeng." Li Chunfeng thought for a moment and asked, "In this way, I only need to tell me one thing, and I don't have to pay back this penny." ”
"Things?"
Li Chunfeng asked: "You are a Taoist priest, you should know what saltpeter is, then do you know where to buy saltpeter?" ”
"Saltpeter, I know." The little Taoist priest smiled, "You can buy it at the pharmacy in the west of the city." ”
"Chengxi Pharmacy?" Li Chunfeng didn't know where it was.
The little Taoist priest was very kind and said, "I'll take you there." As he spoke, the little Taoist priest stood up and was about to leave.
Li Chunfeng said with a smile: "The pharmacy won't run, so let's have breakfast first and then go." ”
The little Taoist priest scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "That's right, eat first, eat first." ”
So the two of them had breakfast and went to the pharmacy in the west of the city.
