When the patriarch heard this, his face turned like pig's liver, and he yelled at a few young people: "A bunch of waste! ”

The master glanced at Xiao Laodao at this time, and saw that Xiao Laodao actually had a mockery on his face, and squinted his eyes and smiled, the master felt that he had planned some kind of ghost idea again, and there must be a reason why he came out of the house of the three dogs' wife early this morning.

At this time, the patriarch turned his head and said to a young man beside him: "Go to the village and call people, call everyone to me, you can't tell them to leave!" When the young man heard this, he ran towards the village.

Xiao Laodao suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, the so-called strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, since you don't want us to go, then let's go, what about you, just guard the door." After speaking, Xiao Laodao turned his head and greeted my grandfather and a few people: "Let's all go back to the house, it's time to eat at noon, what are we doing standing here." ”

When the master heard this, he looked at Xiao Laodao, Xiao Laodao gave them a look, and several people didn't say a word, turned around and returned to the courtyard, and walked a few steps towards the courtyard, when they heard a villager behind him ask the patriarch, "Patriarch, what should we do now, it's not a matter to look at them, if they don't send a stand-in, we will have to suffer at night." ”

After the villager finished speaking, he didn't stop for two seconds, and then he heard the patriarch and the old man shout coldly, "Daoist, you say, what are you willing to do to help our villagers." ”

Xiao Laodao smiled, turned around and looked at the door with a smile, raised his eyebrows and said, "I have already said just now, you paste paper cars by yourself, bring them and I will send them to you!" ”

One of the villagers suddenly shouted and asked: "The two families you sent yesterday not only didn't let them paste paper, but also gave them fifteen copper plates each, why did you ask us to paste them ourselves today?" ”

When Xiao Laodao heard this, he looked at the villager and asked, "Yesterday was still a sunny day, why is it cloudy today?" ”

The villagers were stunned, "Y-What do you mean?" ”

Xiao Laodao said: "Yesterday is yesterday, today is today, if you have the ability, you go back to yesterday and go to me yesterday, I will definitely not call you to make yourself paste." ”

"You, you ......" The villager was speechless for a moment, and all the villagers, including the patriarch and the elder of the clan, glared at Xiao Lao Dao one by one, there was nothing they could do about him, although they were angry and hateful, they didn't dare to really offend him.

Xiao Laodao returned to the door in a few steps, looked at the patriarch and said, "You are the head of the clan, I have already made this matter very clear, you can discuss it with your clan and see what to do, but if you want us to spend money on you pasteurs, it is impossible!" ”

As soon as Xiao Laodao's voice fell, someone immediately asked the old man, "Patriarch, what should we do?" The patriarch looked at Xiao Laodao, then turned his head to look at the villagers, and finally gritted his teeth, "What else can I do, let's go back and prepare paper figures!" When the villagers heard this, they dispersed like deflated balls.

The patriarch looked at Xiao Laodao and said coldly, "Daoist, you can do it yourself!" With that, the old man turned around and left.

Xiao Laodao stood at the door and looked at those backs, and sneered: "A group of fools! ”

That night, more than a dozen families really came over, bringing paper people and paper carts, and the courtyard was full of inside and outside.

Xiao Laodao didn't pay attention to them, and ate dinner unhurriedly in his own house, Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi stopped at the door of the room, preventing those villagers from entering the door, making a lot of noise and shouting.

In the end, Xiao Laodao finally finished eating, and beckoned to the master and the lame Taoist in the house, "Let's go, let's go to the courtyard and have a look......"

When I opened the door, I saw Xiao Chujiu and Xiao 11 standing at the door, and opposite the door, there were men and women in their forties and fifties, all of whom were villagers from their village.

When the villagers saw Xiao Laodao coming out of the house, they all gathered around, Xiao Laodao waved his hand, and Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi let go of the door.

Xiao Laodao asked the villagers with a puzzled expression, "What are you doing at night?" ”

When the villagers heard this, they were all stunned, and then someone shouted: "What do you say, come to you to send a stand-in, you see, we have prepared the paper people and paper cows." ”

When Xiao Laodao heard this, he looked at the paper people and paper cows in the courtyard, muttered for a moment, and then asked loudly: "Fellow villagers, have you all brought money?" ”

The villagers were stunned again, "What money?" ”

Xiao Laodao replied loudly: "The poor Dao method of sending a stand-in is to consume mana, of course, you have to collect profits, every household, regardless of the number of people, three hundred yuan." ”

"What?" When the villagers heard this, they immediately exploded, and someone shouted: "You didn't say you would collect money at noon!" ”

Xiao Laodao immediately looked at the man and said, "Noon is noon, now is now, the sky is still bright at noon, why is it dark now?" ”

"You ......" When the villagers heard this, the old Taoist priest actually came to this trick again, and the whole thing was a scoundrel, and the villagers were suddenly angry, and exploded the pot again, shouting and saying anything, and some people wanted to rush over and beat Xiao Laodao, but seeing the grandfather standing next to Xiao Laodao, just like seeing Zhao Zilong standing next to Liu Bei, no one dared to step forward.

Xiao Laodao then said loudly: "Pay back the money for the rich man's family for a short job, give the money and send it, if you don't give the money, you can take these paper people back!" ”

"You, you ......" the villagers were furious.

Xiao Laodao was full of confidence, "What am I? This is still poor, I learned it from your villagers! ”

As soon as these words came out, all the villagers suddenly fell silent, and the grandfather saw remorse on the faces of many villagers......

After a while, a group of people returned to Xiao Laodao's room and asked Xiao Laodao loudly, "Old Taoist, are you talking about it this time?" ”

"Of course." Xiao Laodao swore back.

"If we bring the money, will you change your mind again?"

"No, it's not dawn yet."

"It's not dawn yet?" The villagers were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they came back to their senses, and they were so angry that they almost vomited blood, and the old Taoist priest said that it would change after dawn!

At this time, the villagers have changed from the previous strong group to a group of weak groups, just like what Xiao Laodao said afterwards, people like them, if they don't suffer a little, they won't have a long memory.

An hour later, the villagers brought money from home one after another, and Xiao Lao Dao was happy, and after receiving the money, he asked the grandfather to write their names and eight characters on yellow paper.

After sticking the yellow paper to the paper man, Xiao Laodao beckoned these villagers, each took his own paper man, carried his own paper cow paper car, and followed me to the Hanwang Temple......

After sending these dozen households, there are still more than a dozen households left in their village, one after another, all of them were delivered within three days, and nothing special happened during the period, these villagers are all obedient, and once the paper people are sent, they will no longer have nightmares that night.

The matter of the villagers in Tupoling being hooked ended successfully, Xiao Lao Dao no longer had any villagers at their doorstep come to make trouble, but when they went to their village to buy wine and meat, the price doubled, and they didn't like to buy it.

A few days later, Xiao Laodao greeted everyone again, packed up and left here, the lame Taoist was still a little reluctant, after all, he had lived here for several years, and he had lived out of his feelings, Xiao Laodao said to him, we have offended all the people in their village, and living here again will do us all harm and no benefit.

The master was the first to pack his luggage, went to the stable to lead the horse, and waited in the courtyard, Xiao Laodao immediately packed his luggage and came out of the house.

At this time, when the three dogs' wives saw that everyone was packing their luggage, as if they were leaving, they immediately panicked and asked Xiao Laodao where they were going.

As for the wife of the three dogs, she didn't leave before, Xiao Laodao came out of her room early in the morning, to explain to their mother and son, and asked them to hide first, and the people in their village might come over, after that, Xiao Laodao said that their mother and son ran away overnight, he was afraid that if he said so, those villagers would break into the courtyard to find out. Xiao Laodao does things, on the surface, it seems that he has done nothing, but secretly, he has done everything without leakage, everything that others think of, he has thought of, and everything that others have not thought of, he has also thought of it.

Xiao Laodao listened to the wife of the three dogs and asked him, smiled faintly, took out a bunch of keys from his body and handed them to her, Xiao Laodao said: "Poor Dao and the others are leaving, and I don't know where to go, in the future, this courtyard will be given to your mother and son." ”

When the three dogs' wives heard this, tears suddenly welled up in their eyes, and they asked Xiao Lao in a low voice: "Dao Chief, can you not leave?" ”

Xiao Laodao shook his head firmly, seeing this, the wife of the three dogs did not take the key in Xiao Laodao's hand, but actually knelt down for Xiao Laodao with a "poof", and begged: "Then you take our mother and daughter away, I killed the three dogs, their village people have long refused to allow me, we stay here, they will not let us go." ”

Xiao Laodao said indifferently: "You don't have to be like this, if you don't want to stay, then Poor Dao will give you some silver taels and take the child back to your parents' house." ”

When Sangouzi's wife heard this, she burst into tears, "I have no home, when I was a teenager, my whole family was killed by robbers who blocked the road, robbed me of money and robbed me up the mountain, and later, those robbers sold me to Sangouzi......"

When Xiao Laodao heard this, he immediately frowned, my grandfather was also next to him, and he didn't feel good when he heard it, at this time, the lame Taoist packed up his luggage and came out of the house, and saw the three dogs' wives kneeling on the ground, and hurriedly came over to ask what was going on.

When the lame Taoist heard this, he hurriedly begged Xiao Lao Dao, "Senior brother, let's take their mother and son, if we leave them behind, we will let them wait here for death." ”

Xiao Laodao glanced at the lame Taoist, "Okay, this is what you said......"

After everyone had packed their bags, they left.

On the road, everyone walked aimlessly to the east, because there were many people and few horses, the lame Taoist, the wife of the three dogs, and the three children, rode on horseback, and the others walked.

After walking a distance, the lame Taoist asked Xiao Lao Dao on horseback, "Senior brother, where are we going?" ”

Xiao Laodao turned his head and glanced at the lame Taoist, "I want to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and few people, and I will build a Taoist temple for you." ”

When the lame Taoist heard this, he said: "If you want to have beautiful mountains and rivers, then we must go south, south of the Yangtze River, there are many good places in feng shui." ”

Xiao Laodao hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Although the south is good, there is too much water in the ground, the humidity is heavy, and there are too few ancient tombs. ”

The lame Taoist heard Xiao Laodao say this, so he didn't say anything anymore, Xiao Laodao turned his head and looked at the wife of the three dogs who was right behind, and said: "Big sister, we are going to the north, find a place in the north, and build a big courtyard to live." ”

"Hey!" When the three dogs' wives heard this, they nodded hurriedly and said, "Where are you going, Daoist, the three of us will follow you, make tea, cook, wash and clean for you, do anything." ”

"Okay." Xiao Laodao smiled with satisfaction, and said: "In the future, we may not be at home often, my junior brother is alone at home, what about him, his legs and feet are not good, and he can't marry a daughter-in-law when he is so old, so in the future, I will trouble you to take care of him......"

When the lame Taoist heard Xiao Laodao's words, he almost didn't fall off the horse, and whispered to Xiao Laodao, "Senior brother, what are you talking about!" ”

Xiao Laodao glanced at him, "I didn't say anything, you asked you to bring them yourself, it's none of my business, otherwise...... Shall we send them back now? ”

"You, you ......"
