Tang Sanzang.

Although Tang Sanzang didn't know any magical powers such as mind reading, he found that the old man's eyes seemed to be a little wrong.

"Donor?"

As Tang Sanzang called out compassionately and peacefully again, the old man came back to his senses in an instant, and subconsciously wanted to bow his head, but he stopped halfway, and after moving a little helplessly, he said.

"This ...... Great Elder, you ...... Do you want to buy melons? ”

"Amitabha, the donor doesn't need to be so polite, the poor monk Tang Sanzang, is from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and plans to go to the West Heaven to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures.

As Tang Sanzang's inexplicably calm and peaceful voice came into the old man's ears, the old man's demeanor and movements gradually became less restrained than just now, and he pointed to the five or six watermelons on the ground with two fingers and said.

"Elder Sanzang, please take a look, my melons are all home-grown, very sweet, watery and juicy."

When Tang Sanzang heard this, he looked down, and at the same time, he inadvertently found that there were five or six large watermelons on the side of the old man's back, which were full.

In other words, this old man's flat watermelon probably didn't sell a single one in a day.

And before Tang Sanzang could speak, as soon as Zhu Bajie, who was behind, heard "very sweet, watery and juicy", the whole person was excited, and hurriedly crossed to the front, and the pig's head asked at the old man.

"Really? Watery and juicy? I like that, old pig. ”

A pig's head suddenly appeared in front of him, which frightened the old man, and almost fell to the ground, and he subconsciously exclaimed.

"Why didn't it get dark yet, and this monster came out early."

In this regard, Tang Sanzang glared at Zhu Bajie quite sternly, and then hurriedly stepped forward to appease him.

"Don't be afraid, the old benefactor, this is the second disciple of the poor monk, because he suffered some accidents when he was born, he looks a little cold, but he is not bad, and he is not the kind of monster who eats people, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Soothed by Tang Sanzang's infectious voice, the old man, who had finally eased up, patted his chest and said. "Scare me, Elder Sanzang, this disciple of yours was not born in a pigsty, otherwise he would not look like this."

When Tang Sanzang heard this, he didn't want to say it clearly, so he simply introduced the remaining two disciples, so as not to scare the old benefactor later.

And as Tang Sanzang finished speaking, the old man unintentionally looked up at the sky, and when he saw that the sunset was about to fall, his face couldn't help but turn pale, and he said. "Elder Sanzang, sell melons quickly, otherwise when it gets dark, it will be troublesome."

"Huh? The custom of the old donor, you can't sell melons when it's dark? Tang Sanzang asked with some puzzlement.

The old man understood that Tang Sanzang and his entourage had just arrived in Dhara Village, and hurriedly explained. "It's not a custom, it's a ...... to save your life"

Immediately, the old man pointed to the stalls around him, which had already been completely empty, and said.

"The rest of the people are long gone, and if I hadn't been penniless, I would have wanted to go home if I needed to buy some pig blood for my hard-working child who was sucked by that monster and go back to make up for his body."

Pig blood ......

Hearing this, the monkey couldn't help but tease and said. "Idiot, why don't you put some blood on this old benefactor, my grandson will invite you to eat big watermelon later."

Zhu Bajie was a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to be arrogant to the monkey, so he said straight to the old man.

"Old donor, your idea is not appropriate, the effect of pig blood is actually not very good, far less good than monkey blood, wild monkeys are born in the mountains and wilderness, eating and drinking, gathering the aura of heaven and earth, it can be described as a great supplement......"

It's a pity that before Zhu Bajie finished speaking, the monkey grabbed Zhu Bajie's ear, and pulled him up, and asked in an unkind tone.

"Really? How much to make up, do you want to make up for the nerd? ”

"No, no, Brother Monkey, I'm a monk, vegetarian, vegetarian ......"

As the monkey and Zhu Bajie were making a small fuss, Tang Sanzang's attention was instead attracted by the monster that the old man had just mentioned, and asked.

"Amitabha, what the old donor just said is, there are monsters?"

"Yes, my hard-working child was sucked by monsters, and he needs to eat blood-replenishing things every day, otherwise he may die at any time, but the walls of the house are all empty, not to mention buying those spiritual blood and the like, even if it is pig blood, I can't afford it."

The old man said with a sad face, and turned to Tang Sanzang and said. "Elder Sanzang, buy a melon, I planted this melon myself, it is ripe, sweet, and juicy."

Tang Sanzang nodded, smiled, and then stretched out his hand towards Sha Seng, took the silver money handed over by Sha Seng and put it in the old man's arms.

However, after taking the silver money that Tang Sanzang put in his hand, the old man's face was embarrassed, and he said helplessly.

"Much more, I ...... I...... I don't have any bits and pieces on me to redeem, three ...... Is there a smaller one for Elder Sanzang? ”

In this regard, Tang Sanzang clasped his palms together and said with compassion and kindness on his face. "Amitabha, the old benefactor, and the poor monks all have a lot of appetites, so they bought more than a dozen watermelons."

When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but smile with joy, and then said in embarrassment. "Yes...... But even so, I ...... I can't redeem it either, it's too much. ”

Tang Sanzang said with a smile. "The poor monk and his entourage passed through this place, and they were looking for a place to settle down, but they wondered if it was convenient for the old benefactor's home? The rest of the money should be regarded as disturbing the old benefactor's tranquility, how about it? ”

Immediately, a moment of hesitation appeared on the old man's face, and then he made a big salute to Tang Sanzang, and then said. "Thank you for the great kindness of Elder Sanzang, I can't repay it, and I will pray for Elder Sanzang every day in the future."

Then, just as the old man put the five or six watermelons on the stall back into the flat pole, and wanted to pick up the flat pole and lead Tang Sanzang and his party back home, the monkey who knew Tang Sanzang's mind stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Old donor, this melon has been sold to me and others, why do you pick it up again?"

The old man said in a bit of a panic. "Don't misunderstand this elder, I definitely don't dare to have other ideas, I just want to help the elders pick the melons first, so that I can take you home as soon as possible to settle down and rest."

"No, no, since these watermelons are already waiting for us, we can take responsibility for ourselves, so I don't bother the old donor......"

Immediately, the monkey didn't give the old man a chance to refuse, and then picked up the flat pole with the watermelon and put it directly on Zhu Bajie's shoulder, saying.

"Please, old benefactor."

"This ...... This ......"

The old man, who felt that his shoulders were light, glanced at Tang Sanzang hesitantly, and saw Tang Sanzang smile compassionately and peacefully, so he relieved his heart and said.

"Elders, please."
