Chapter 273: Avoiding Disaster
After dawn, when the innkeeper returned with his men, he was stunned by the sight in front of him. I saw that half of my inn had turned into a pile of rubble, and the remaining half had begun to crumble.
A few days ago, the county officials came to their small inn, with a few people dressed as monks, and one of them took the lead in finding the boss to rent his entire inn. It means that these people received the Jun order of the county order of Qiantang County to ask for rain, and the location of this inn is the auspicious position of asking for rain. At the moment, I told the innkeeper that they had cast spells at the inn to ask for rain in the past few days, and the innkeeper's family, young and old, and the men moved to live elsewhere. When to ask for rain, when to come back, when the boss's family will come back.
At that time, it was agreed that the rent would be 500 yuan a day, and this kind of small mountain shop would earn 500 yuan for a few days. Naturally, the innkeeper agreed, hoping that the monks would be able to ask for rain a few days later.
Counting the last night, the monks had rented the house for a total of three days, but in the middle of the night, there was a sudden rumbling sound from the side of the inn. The innkeeper didn't pay much attention when he heard the sound of a spell asking for rain. It was still early in the morning when a neighbor came to tell him that the inn at home was about to be demolished.
Just when the innkeeper wanted to cry without tears, the monk who had rented his house a few days ago suddenly appeared. At the moment, he also lost the boss a horseshoe gold of twenty taels, which was enough for the boss to open a few such small inns. But just as the innkeeper was ecstatic, the monk made a condition. He brought in a stupid man and asked the innkeeper to take this man in and do some chores with him. The monk would give ten taels of gold every day as a thank you, and after seeing the boss agree, the monk directly took out another ten taels of gold and gave it to the innkeeper.
All of a sudden, it was thirty taels of gold, and the innkeeper was a little confused. The monk agreed to the monk at the next time, and when he saw that the monk was leaving, he remembered that he forgot to inquire about the name of this somewhat demented man, and the monk turned around and said two wordsβQiu Fang.
Just when the innkeeper began to arrange for people to rebuild the inn, in a pavilion by the Qiantang River, Wu Mian and Gui Fu were sitting here waiting for the river tide to come. In the process of waiting, Xiao Rensan said impatiently to the return: "Old immortal, you just tell the truth." Qiu Fang, did you arrange it? How can a good person be stupid? β
As he spoke, Xiao Rensan glanced at Bai Wuqiu beside him, intentionally or unintentionally. Unexpectedly, when the little guy said that he was stupid, Bai Wuqiu had already begun to look at Xiao Rensan with some vigilance, in case it would lead the word stupid to himself. Seeing that Xiao Ren San really said that he was a fool and looked at himself, the second stunned man widened his eyes and said to Xiao Ren San: "Ren Laosan, you said you are a fool!" What do you see Lao Tzu doing? β
Looking at the two monsters bickering, he laughed, and finally glanced at Wu Mian, who was speechless, and said: "Don't talk about Xiao Rensan, if I were an outsider, I would think that this was all arranged by my old man." Forget it, don't think about this, let's think about the 'Underworld Zhi' now that it has been revealed, what should I do, such a baby is even if Guangren looks at it, his eyes are red......"
Last night, when I was about to make some money from Guangren and Volcano, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the inn, and then a confused man walked in. As if he didn't see these people around him, he came in and curled up like a wild dog in the corner of the wing. He kept saying something, and the person closest to him heard him say, "Don't drive me away...... Don't drive me away...... Don't drive me away......"
The moment this person entered, all the people in the inn closed their mouths. The person who came in with dementia was Qiu Fang, who had disappeared for a long time, and he had not been seen since he was beaten and left Luoyang City. At that time, he was taken away by Gang Yuan, but after these dwarf monks appeared, all they wanted was to seek revenge on Wu Mian, but they forgot about this person. Unexpectedly, Qiu Fang appeared in front of these people like a madman today.
After seeing Qiu Fang appear, Wu Mian and Gui Bugui glanced at each other. The white-haired man glanced at the old guy with a suspicious gaze, and shook his head slightly. Wu Mian thought about it, the old guy had hardly left his sight these days, and it was possible to arrange Qiu Fang to appear in front of the two generous masters at this time.
After seeing the demented Qiu Fang appear, the expressions on the faces of the two generous masters were also a little strange, and looking at the expressions of the monks, it didn't seem like they knew why Qiu Fang appeared here.
In the eyes of outsiders, Qiu Fang was also a disciple selected by Master Xu Fu Dafang for the volcano, and at this time, he also found that he had been punished for trespassing in the White Horse Temple before, and the volcano had not dissolved the master-apprentice relationship between them. Yu Gong and private Volcano couldn't look at Qiu Fang, so Volcano left one of his disciples behind and asked him to get Qiu Fang out of the innkeeper's care. If Master Xu Fu, who is far away overseas, wants to recall Qiu Fang in the future, it is good to know where he is.
Qiu Fang's sudden arrival disrupted the minds of Wu Mian, Gui or Not Returning, and the two Dafang Masters, and the old guy didn't have the heart to scrape any more benefits off Guangren and Volcano. At this time, the sky was already overcast, and the volcano didn't want to see Qiu Fang, who was demented. immediately found an excuse to leave with Guangren, and Wu Mian and Gui Wu also walked towards another place.
Guangren and Volcano were in a hurry when they left, and they didn't take these former disciples with them. In the end, after some discussion, these people saw that Zhongxing Fangshi was hopeless, so they left to find a livelihood. Since then, there have been few times when dozens of monks have gathered together at once.
Qiu Fang stayed in the inn, and the innkeeper didn't plan to really let this demented man do anything. At the moment, he just cares about his food and drink, hoping that this man named Qiu Fang can live for a few more years, and the innkeeper can also get a few more gold.
Not long after the inn was rebuilt, a strong man in his thirties came to join the inn. After living here for two days, the strong man suddenly proposed to the boss to rent the cleanest room in the house for a long time. And before taking out a year's worth of rooms at a time, the innkeeper of such a suitable business inn was naturally happy. From this day on, the strong man stayed. This strong man didn't see any money to make a living, but he never lacked money to spend.
One night, another month later, when the strong man was asleep in his room. His eyes snapped open, and the man sat up straight. said to the air in front of him: "How can we say that we have known each other for more than a month, do you have anything to explain to me?" β
A moment later, a vague figure appeared where the strong man spoke. Little by little, the figure became clearer, and after a few moments, the figure's appearance was revealed. It was Qiu Fang who was placed here by the volcano.
Qiu Fang, who appeared again, no longer had that demented expression on his face, looked at the strong man sitting on the bed and said, "Didn't you come to me?" I've been here for more than a month. What do you want to do? β
Looking at Qiu Fang, who was full of vigilance, the strong man suddenly laughed, and then looked at the disciple of the Volcano Great Master and said, "It seems that Mr. Qiu Fang, you are really here to avoid trouble, and I am similar to Mr. Qiu Fang." I also want to find a quiet place to take here for a few years. But rest assured, sir, I won't stay in one place for long. At most, you will leave in three or five years, and when you want to see me again, I'm afraid it won't be easy. β
Hearing the strong man in front of him say his thoughts, Qiu Fang frowned slightly, he looked at this person familiar but couldn't remember where he had seen it. I don't know why, Qiu Fang is still a little timid in front of people. But even the volcano's tall foot himself couldn't figure out what he was afraid of.
Seeing that Qiu Fang didn't speak again, the strong man lay on his bed again. Just when he ignored the fact that there was another man in the room and was about to fall asleep, Qiu Fang suddenly thought of something, stared at this person and said, "I recognize who you are......"
