0007 back to the deserted village
The light dissipated, Xiang Gong's vision changed from blurry to clear, and then looked at the things in the box, and instantly felt that the whole person was not good. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The nine-ring tin staff is still the standard configuration of Xuanzang, can't Tang Taizong send something ingenious? For example, gold, silver, jewelry, etc., it makes sense to give a little bit casually!
Gritting his teeth and rolling his eyes, Xiang Gong felt that his heart was so painful that he couldn't breathe, "No, let's go back to Chang'an City first, I have to ask Li Shimin, do you know that you need to be entangled when you go out?" Is it useful to send these useless things? ”
"Entangled? What do you want to do with that? Tang Seng was puzzled as if he had heard a shocking remark.
"Nonsense, don't you need money to eat?"
"You can turn into a relationship!"
"Don't you need money to stay in a hotel?"
"You can borrow it, but if you can't, you can sleep in the open."
"Don't you need money to learn from experience?"
"How is it possible that Western Bliss will have money for such a filthy thing? The Buddha will definitely give it to the poor monk for free, Amitabha! ”
……
Xiang Gong was speechless, this Tang Seng looked loyal and honest, it turned out that he was so out of tune, he was thinking about it for free everywhere, okay, let's wait and see, when you really go to Tianzhu, people will take care of your personnel, what can you do!
While constantly complaining about Li Shimin's stinginess, while hurrying, there is no entanglement, and there is no start-up capital, it seems that you have to think carefully about how to complete the procurement of goods required by the task.
Otherwise, the punishment that made Zixia laugh and blossom when she mentioned it, Xiang Gong didn't dare to guarantee that he could easily bear it.
At noon, the two rushed to a small village, hungry, and wanted to find someone to make a family.
Xiang Gong looked around, and there was not a single ghost in the village, and he was a little puzzled.
In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, the eighteenth anti-kings rebelled against the tyrannical Sui, and wars broke out everywhere, and the people suffered.
Although Li Tang took the world and recuperated with the people, it has only been eight or nine years now, and the wounds of the war have not been completely healed, and the prosperous era of Zhenguan has not yet arrived.
The Tang Dynasty did not follow the example of the previous dynasties and migrated the world's wealthy families to fill the population of Kyoto, so outside Chang'an City, there are still few people.
It seems that this small village should be a ghost village destroyed in the war.
Sure enough, the wooden doors were pushed open, and all you saw were the decaying walls and dusty cobwebs everywhere.
"Don't look for it, there must be no one in this village." Xiang Gong said.
"Let's take a look, I've only found less than half of it!" Tang Seng is stubborn.
As he spoke, he paused the tin staff outside the door three times, clanging it, and then leaned the tin staff against the wall on one side, straightened his clothes, carefully tied his belt, looked down at his underwear, did not raise his eyelids, and put his hands together.
"The donor is invited, the poor monk is passing by here, hungry, begging for some fasting, Liao is hungry, I don't know if the donor is convenient?"
After speaking, he spread out his palms, took out the bowl from his big sleeve, and quietly waited for the response inside.
It's true, Huayuan is still so particular, Xiang Gongke is impatient to wait, "It's good to go up and push the door, there won't be anyone anyway!" ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward, stretched out his big hand, and before Xuanzang could react, he had already pushed the wooden door shut.
"Squeak...... Bang ......" The wooden door fell in response, and Xiang Gong was stunned, not because the wooden door was broken and unbearable, but because there were two children in front of him, one big and one small.
This is not scientific, there are ten rooms and nine empty rooms in the village, how can there be two more children for no reason? Could it be...... Monster!
Hey, in Journey to the West, before Tang Seng left the Tang Dynasty, he didn't seem to encounter any monsters? However, these two children are too suspicious, right?
Tang Seng looked at Xiang Gong so rude, the two children must have been frightened, the big hand held a wooden fork aimed at the two of them, his eyes widened suddenly, his shoulders trembled slightly, he bit his lip, and didn't say a word.
The small one hid behind the big one, trembling, revealing half of his head, his eyes flashed, as if he wanted to look but didn't dare to look, a pair of small hands, tightly grasping the big hem, and the joints changed color and did not let go.
"Two little donors, don't be afraid......" Xuanzang stepped forward to talk, but suddenly stumbled and almost lay down on his back.
It was Xiang Gong who dragged him, Xuanzang really has no social experience at all, in vain he has traveled all over the Yangtze River to learn Buddhism, has he not found such obvious suspicions?
"There are ten rooms and nine empty rooms in the village, how can there be two children? Don't get close, be careful that it's a youkai that eats you! "Xiang Gong has to be careful, who made him not sharp-eyed!
"Donor, you must be too careful, hey, you let go, didn't you see that you scared the two children?" As he spoke, he broke free of Xiang Gong's hand and walked over.
Seeing Xuanzang approaching, the big one hurriedly handed the wooden fork forward, made a mistake, and protected the small one tightly behind him, the wooden fork shook slightly, Xuanzang smiled and said: "The poor monk is not a bad person, don't panic the little donor!" ”
"There is nothing to eat at home, and if you are hungry, go dig wild vegetables yourself! Hurry up and leave, or don't blame me for being unkind! The big wooden fork didn't mean to put it down at all, although he was calm, but the tremor in his voice could be heard by Xiang Gong.
Joke, two children, how do they live without food? Even if you're not a youkai, you're a bad boy who lies.
"If not, forget it, let's go!" Xiang Gong's name is Xuanzang.
"Oh, why are you like this, don't you see that the two little donors are pitiful? If you don't have something to eat, aren't you hungry? With a yellow face and thin muscles, they look like poor people, we should help them! Xuanzang was displeased.
"How can I help? Give them food? Why do you have food to make a fortune? "Xiang Gong is not angry, is Xuanzang's head in the water? It's hard to protect yourself, and you have to help others, it's really speechless.
"Donor, don't you know how to spell? You can change something and give it to the two little donors! Tang Seng said, the eyes of the two children suddenly lit up, the little one moved out from behind the big one, and looked at Xiang Gong with a big guard look, and there was more expectation.
"Who told you I could spell?"
"Don't deceive the poor monk, the poor monk obviously saw that you had changed everything, you will definitely use spells, and you can also conjure things, right?"
Xuanzang, who originally didn't dare to poke the true face of Xiang Gong's "monster", told the truth he saw so bluntly at this time, which not only made Xiang Gong realize that Xuanzang would have a ghost-like expression at that time, but also made the expectation in the eyes of the two children even deeper.
"You mean that?" Xiang Gong casually picked up a branch and stuffed it into the infinite storage space, his hands were suddenly empty, Tang Seng nodded vigorously, the two children opened their mouths in surprise, and the wooden fork in the eldest child's hand fell to the ground unconsciously, with complicated eyes.
"This ......" Xiang Gong found that he didn't know how to explain it, so he had to say perfunctorily: "This is a trick, in fact, the branches are still in my hands, don't believe you!" As he spoke, he took the branch out of the infinite storage space.
Xuanzang looked incredulous, but the two children had fallen into a deep ecstasy.
"Uncle Fairy, give me something to eat!" The little one said.
"Uncle Fairy, give me some money!" Big said.
"Uncle Fairy, you can change some food for us to eat!" Xuanzang joined in the fun.
", who's your uncle? I don't really know how to spell.
And you, you see how real your brother is, he wants to eat, you are good, you dare to ask for money, if I have money, will I get to this step?
Especially you, little monk, do you still want to have a face? When am I going to be your uncle? Xiang Gong was not angry.
"It's smooth, it's been brought by two little donors!" Xuanzang is embarrassed.
"You lie, you just don't want to change me!" The big shouted.
"Woo, I just want to give my dad some porridge, he has been sleeping for a long time, he must be too hungry, so he can't wake up, woo woo......" the little one cried.
Daddy? What's going on? Does the little kid pretend to be sensible and beg for mercy? Hey, people's hearts are not ancient! Xiang Gong sighed, turned around, and turned his back to the three of them, the meaning was obvious, if he wanted to deceive his brother, he was still a little tender.
Xuanzang was interested, and hurriedly asked what was going on, and looked at Xuanzang carefully, seeing that he didn't look like a bad person, so he brought the situation one by one.
It turned out that most of the people in the village couldn't get by, so they left the village and went to Chang'an City to make a living.
Fortunately, it is spring now, and the eldest child goes to the field every day to look for wild vegetables, so that his younger brother does not starve to death, but because the family has no money, he can't even find a langzhong.
The reason why the younger brother wanted to eat was to find something to eat for his father and brother, and the elder brother gave him the little wild vegetables he found every time, but he had been hungry for a long time.
And the elder brother asked for money, but it was precisely so that he could go to Chang'an City to invite a man to come and cure his father's illness.
After listening to the two children's words, Xuanzang had already burst into tears, holding his brother's head, crying silently, but Xiang Gong snorted coldly, turned his head and looked around at the courtyard.
It seems that no one has cleaned the yard for a long time, but there must be someone living there, and the two children have left a lot of traces of activity here, and it seems that they don't look like they are lying.
"Donor, are you really so ruthless that you are ready to die without help? The two of them, really pathetic...... Whining...... The Buddha said that saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and please open the door to convenience and help the donor! Xuanzang wiped his tears and said.
"Bad guy, even if you know how to do spells, I don't want your stinky money, huh!" The elder brother hugged his younger brother and shouted stubbornly.
"Uncle, we don't need money, we just need something to eat, brother and daddy, they haven't eaten for a long time, woo woo ......"
……
As soon as you say it, he says it, Xuanzang and his brother will not be able to say that Xiang Gong is a heinous bastard, only his younger brother is still begging.
"Why are you so noisy? If you have this time, wouldn't it be good to take me directly to see your father? "Xiang Gong's strangest thing is this, the yard is not big, they have been arguing for so long, why is there no movement in the house at all.
Even if their father is seriously ill, they should be woken up, how can there be no movement?
Led by the two children, Xuanzang was still sobbing beside him, but Xiang Gong's heart was not easy to relax for a moment.
In the house, it can't be the Longtan Tiger's Den waiting for him, right? He's the identity of the entourage in the original book who could die at any time, but don't make any forks!
Although the atmosphere was solemn and the situation was weird, Xiang Gong didn't have a feeling of fear in his heart, only a strong uneasiness, what was going on?
The door was pushed open......
"Ahh
