Chapter 259: Don't Be Too Greedy
As soon as Lu Xirou and Mama Li arrived at Changqingguan, they bumped into a dumb man cleaning in front of the hall.
"Xiao Daotong, do you know where Ji Gongzi is?"
The mute shook his head with a blank face and pointed to his own throat.
"This boy can't be mute, right?"
Mama Li said on the side: "Miss, I heard that the Bodhisattva of Changqingguan is effective, since we have come to Changqingguan, we will put on incense first, and wait for a while after the incense is finished to ask the Taoist chief in the hall to inquire about the whereabouts of Ji Gongzi." ”
inquired about Ji Gongzi's news, but he bumped into a dumb person.
Lu Xirou feels really unlucky!
"It's good!"
She nodded and entered the main hall with Mama Li.
There is no one on duty in the hall, but since she came to Changqingguan and said that the Bodhisattva is effective, then ask the Bodhisattva to bless her with all the best in this wine tasting meeting in Yulong County.
Lu Xirou knelt down in front of the statue of the Bodhisattva and silently recited her wishes, then got up.
There was no one in the hall, so she had to go out of the hall with Mama Li again.
The dumb man poked his head out from time to time, and then saw Lu Xirou and Mama Li coming out after the incense, pretending to be casual and continuing to sweep the courtyard.
Lu Xirou saw that there was no one around, so she had to chase after the dumb man and ask, "Little Daotong, where is Gongzi Ji?" ”
"Miss, he's a mute, ask her what to do?"
Mama Li hurriedly said: "Really, this Changqingguan has failed like this, and there is no one on duty......
"Dumb people can ask for directions!"
Lu Xirou sneered contemptuously, took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket, and shook it in front of the dumb man: "Tell me where Master Ji is, this piece of broken silver is yours." ”
The mute looked at her and shook his head.
"Too little?"
Lu Xirou took out another piece and spread it in the palm of her hand: "Little mute, don't be too greedy, this piece of broken will also be given to you." ”
The dumb man has begun to follow Shen Yue'e to manage the accounts these days, so he naturally knows the weight of Lu Xirou's two pieces of broken silver.
He took the silver, nodded his head in a wooden manner, glanced at Lu Xirou, dropped his broom and went to the verandah.
Sure enough, the dumb man can also ask for directions, Mama Li and Lu Xirou exchanged a look, and walked forward behind the dumb man.
All the way through the winding verandah, to the bamboo forest by the small lake.
After going around the bamboo forest in a big circle, Lu Xirou's legs were about to break, and when she saw that there were no houses around, she felt that something was wrong.
Mama Li tugged at the mute's shirt: "Little mute, where are you going to take my young lady?" ”
The dumb man pointed forward, and sure enough, Lu Xirou and Mama Li saw a corner of the house, so they had to continue to follow him.
Then, when I entered a side door, I was dumbfounded.
"Little mute, have you been to this place?"
Mama Li lost her patience, grabbed him and said viciously: "Okay! How dare you lie to me and my young lady? ”
"No, I didn't lie......"
The dumb man pointed to the temple in front of him, and said with difficulty: "Front...... ...... front"
"It turns out that you can speak, why didn't you say it earlier? You mean it's not in the bamboo forest, it's just in the side hall in front of you, right? ”
Mama Li impatiently urged him: "Quick, then you lead the way." ”
The dumb man then took Mama Li and Lu Xirou, unhurriedly turned around the verandah, and then came to the door of the side hall.
Lu Xirou's master and servant looked inside, where is there any Ji Gongzi?
Inside was an old Taoist priest meditating.
Lu Xirou had completely lost her patience at this moment, and her eyes looked at the mute man like a quenched poison.
The dumb man took a step back in fear and pointed to the hall: "Master...... Master...... Know ......"
