Chapter 26: Revisiting the Blind Girl
It's still the same rugged and difficult mountain road as the last time I visited, but this time, knowing the distance of the road, I wasn't as confused as last time.
Both of them discuss things about the girl along the way.
Were her eyes innately like this, or did they become what they are because she had cultivated some kind of exercise? Will the surrounding villagers bring food to her on a regular basis?
Lu Xiaoling still wanted her to go to the city for treatment or to live in better conditions, but what happened so unpleasantly last time was that it was hard to say whether they would have a chance to enter the door of the Taoist temple this time.
"If she doesn't want to talk to us, then let's find a family in the village and let them take care of her a little more." Sun Yang said. He did this for a deeper reason, if it weren't for their mistakes, the girl's master wouldn't have died, for him, this was something he had to do instead of Lu Lou, Cao Daoping, and himself.
The two turned the mountain pass, but saw that the door of the Taoist temple was open, and the two glanced at each other, and invariably quickened their pace.
As soon as he approached the door of the Taoist temple, he heard the voices of several people inside: "Zi Yan, it's really not that we want to drive you away." But the township has issued a document specifically for you to do this, you are a child, your eyes are inconvenient, and you don't have the degree issued by the Religious Affairs Office, guarding this Taoist temple, the name is not right......"
"The township specially arranged for you to go to the county welfare home, where there are good teachers to take care of you......"
"I'm not going anywhere!" The girl's voice was hard. "I'm going to rest, you guys hurry up!"
"Why are you so ignorant? It's all your elders, will it hurt you? A shrill voice said. You can't see with your eyes, a person is on this cliff, there is not even a railing next to it, what is it if you fall? You can't even dig a well here, so what will you do if no one comes to fetch you water? ”
"You don't have to worry about it." The girl replied coldly.
"Your parents died early, the master is gone, and your uncle is your only relative. You don't know what you said about this matter, listen to your uncle! It's rare that there is such a good policy in the township, you hurry up and pack up your things and go out with us tomorrow. ”
"I don't care about it!" The girl's voice suddenly sharpened, and the people inside screamed.
Sun Yang secretly screamed badly, for fear that she would use the same spell as last time on these people, so he hurriedly rushed over, but saw the girl waving a dung scoop full of feces in it, driving out all the people around her, and then slamming the door shut.
"What a savage! I don't know who it's like! A woman in her forties said unhappily. Suddenly there was a sound of water inside, and a large amount of dung spilled out of the sky, so that the people standing outside could only flee in embarrassment.
They happened to run into Sun Yang and Lu Xiaoling, looked at them in surprise, and asked, "What are you guys doing?" ”
"I heard that it works very well here, so we made a special trip to take a look." Sun Yang said.
"It used to work, but the master didn't know where to go two years ago. Now there is only a small child left, and I can't ask anything! ”
"Really?" Sun Yang was a little surprised, in his opinion, the girl's Dao skills are far stronger than those Lan Dao who occupy a certain famous mountain and ancient temple full-time deception, there should be many people who come to the door to ask for help, but now it seems that it is not the same thing at all.
"This little master ......"
"What a little master, it's a broom star in our village!" The woman was probably splashed with dung, she was in a bad mood, and she spoke very politely. "Ke killed his parents, and took the master away, and now he still doesn't leave! It's annoying! ”
Lu Xiaoling's face was a little unsightly, and Sun Yang gently grabbed her.
This matter is probably related to the interests of the village, but if it is according to what they said before, considering that the girl is inconvenient to move, the government will pay for her to be sent to the county welfare home, which is actually not a bad thing from the perspective of ordinary people.
The door of the Taoist temple suddenly opened, and the girl stood at the door with a sickle, looking at this side coldly: "I'm not an adult, and I'm disabled, do you guess if I accidentally cut you, will the police arrest me?" ”
The woman was startled, and walked away quickly while scolding, and the men stood far away to persuade her, she just stood at the door of the Taoist temple and sneered, and after a few minutes, they shook their heads helplessly and left.
"You're not leaving? This girl is crazy and powerful! One of them said kindly.
Sun Yang and Lu Xiaoling stood aside and watched them leave, the girl's face facing them, and after a while, she walked back, but did not close the door.
Sun Yang and Lu Xiaoling glanced at each other and walked over cautiously, but saw the girl enter the room and didn't know what she was doing. But since she didn't close the door, she should have agreed to let them in.
Sun Yang subconsciously glanced at the water tank, the water had already bottomed out, and it was very muddy, so he started to wash the water tank with the remaining bit of water, ready to go to fetch water.
At this time, the girl came out of the meditation room and said, "I don't need you to pretend to be a good person, take your things and leave!" ”
"Our stuff?" Sun Yang and Lu Xiaoling were a little surprised, but they saw the girl holding a stack of money and placing it on the stone pier in front of the main hall.
"What is this?"
"Last time you threw it in the merit box...... Too much, I don't want it! ”
"You've helped us a lot, and that's ...... money"
"The rules set by my master are to help people calculate the hexagrams, at most 500 yuan at a time, and you can't ask for more."
Sun Yang was stunned for a moment, the impression left by that man in his heart was already very vague, but he didn't expect him to be such a non-greedy person.
"Hurry up and take it!" The girl said impatiently.
"We can't take this money." Lu Xiaoling said suddenly.
"Whatever you want, I'll throw it here anyway, you like to take it or not." The girl got up to leave, but Lu Xiaoling hurriedly stopped her.
"Most of the people who came here to ask your master about the hexagram were probably from the nearby villages, right?" She asked.
"Why do you ask this?"
"I guess your master set this rule because the villagers don't have much money, and I'm afraid that they will give more and affect their lives, right?" Lu Xiaoling asked. "I admire people like your master, and I respect the rules he set. But we weren't from the nearby villages, so that little money was nothing to us. You helped us a lot last time, and we're here today to thank you. You also know that we are all practitioners, and if you ask us to take our money back, it is equivalent to giving us a favor without receiving our return, and we are tainted with karma, which is not good for you or for us. ”
The girl was stunned for a moment, she had probably heard some causal fur, but she didn't know it deeply, and Lu Xiaoling's words made her puzzled.
Sun Yang also said at this time: "We have another request for you today, please take back the money, otherwise we really can't speak." ”
The girl hesitated for a moment, for her two thousand yuan was not a small amount, it could make her last here for a long time, so she finally put the money away.
"What are you going to ask?" She immediately asked.
"Wait a minute." Sun Yang said.
This time, of course, he would not rely on his own strength to fetch water, he drew a ghost talisman, instructed the ghost pawn to fill the water tank, cleaned the Taoist temple again, and took care of the small vegetable patch in the yard before letting it go.
The girl was obviously interested in this spell and had been listening carefully to what Sun Yang was doing. When everything was done, she said, "You are much better than my master, can I help you?" ”
"Everyone has their own ability, I may be a little stronger than your master in such spells, but I am far inferior to him in other ways."
Such words obviously made the girl happy, she raised her head, looked at Sun Yang with those white eyes that made her heart palpitate, and asked, "Say, what do you want to ask?" ”
