Chapter 7 The Lotus Pond Bamboo Forest Rises Cold
It is said that the gatekeeper of the stone house was so frightened that he ran away, and just went to the stone gate on the left, but he heard a "bang" sound, so he was knocked back and fell to the ground.
I saw a person outside the stone gate, dressed in brocade clothes, not to mention anything else, a green gem on this hat, with a big head and fat body, this arm is thick and short, looks very uncoordinated, and a rich man who is alive and well.
I saw him roll up his sleeves, wave the folding fan in his hand, and hit the gatekeeper a few times, pointing at him and scolding angrily: "You little rabbit cub!" Uncle, I kindly take care of you, and give you this idle errand to guard Guanyin, first, so that you have enough to eat, and secondly, it can be regarded as an explanation to your widow's aunt, I didn't expect you to either sleep, or cause trouble for me, don't hurry up for me, what is he doing? ”
The young man who was guarding the door hurriedly climbed up, covered his purple face, and said timidly: "Back to Dadong's house, this one is here to find ballast, and a Taoist priest came to say that we have a female ghost in Guanyin Rock, and she was sprayed with ashes, and she has to rely on me." ”
The janitor hid behind the fat man, took out half of his head, pointed to the water and said, "It's this black-faced man, the Taoist priest who came with him just now, they are all in a group." ”
"Huh! Is it? Dare to ask who is the strong man? What are you doing to our Guanyin Rock? If you are really a Taoist priest, then come to your house as a guest, and prepare water, wine, rice, and rice for you to eat and drink, what do you think? The fat man with a shiny face shook his sleeves and touched his chin and beard, and said with a smile on his face.
"Good! Since the good lord intends to give alms, then the poor road is not polite, please lead the way in front of the great good! This Yundu Daoist came in from outside the door, shook off the rain on his hair, and said with a smile on his face.
"What the hell just happened? Now that someone is invited to eat and drink, it won't be because they want to swallow my fifty taels of silver tickets, right? The water flower looked around and whispered behind the Yundu Dao man.
"This ...... Here you go! Although it is a broken corner, it is estimated that this seal is still there, and it should be returned to the money bank for exchange, right? The Yundu Daoist stuffed the crumpled silver ticket into the water flower and followed the big fat man.
Everyone walked out of the stone gate behind this, bypassed a few stone paths, and a bamboo forest appeared in front of everyone's eyes, only to see that the top was already curling with smoke, and the nose had already smelled the fragrance of rice.
"Daoist here, please! We have good mountains and good water here, you look at the pond in front of it, but it is naturally formed, and there is the bottom of this pond next to it, which is all stones, how about it? Be a great person! The fat man waved his stubby arm and introduced the two of them one by one.
"I said, this master, you are an outstanding person here! Not bad! Yundu Daoist looked at the lotus pond, touched his chin and said with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Go, go, go! Why don't you hurry up and show me Guanyin Rock, what are you doing with it? The fat man waved his sleeves and drove away the gatekeeper of the stone house, only to see him pouting and walking away.
"Dao Chief! I can't hide it, I am the village chief of Yong'an, surnamed Liu Mingwencai, my ancestors have some good land savings, and I have been mixed up these days, come and go! Michigan here, please! The fat rich man waved his right hand and ran up the stone bridge to meet the two men.
The scenery here is beautiful and picturesque, in front of which is the lotus pond with shining water, a small stone bridge with nine turns, connected to the bamboo forest on the opposite bank, lotus flowers bloom to the sun, the ducks in the pond "quack" call non-stop, the underwater fish shuttle under the lotus, making people feel a sense of relaxation and happiness.
"Liu Shanren, you have chosen a good place, but have you noticed that it is not very peaceful under this water? I'm afraid it's going to be heretical. Yundu Daoren's eyes flickered, holding on to the railing of the stone bridge, looking down at the water and saying.
The fat rich man Liu Wencai looked left and right, took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and stammered: "The Taoist seems to be really boundless, and you can see the clues at a glance, isn't it?" There are no outsiders here, I'll tell you the truth, this yesterday an old mother went to the lotus pond to wash clothes, a few hours to see no one back, and then the big guy went to look for it, to the middle of the night did not find this person, but in the lotus pond that stone steps, found a wooden basin and a mallet, so everyone talked about it, saying that the pond is not clean, there are dirty things in it. ”
Yundu Daoist touched his chin and was silent for a moment, only to hear the sound of a gurgling stomach, Liu Wencai laughed, waved his right hand and said, "Dao Chief, please!" This water wine rice has been prepared for a long time, come on, come on! Fill your stomach first, let's talk while drinking! ”
Liu Wencai took the two of them to the bamboo forest, and the flowers in the water also looked down, almost not scared him to fall, it turned out that a reflection in the water was waving his sleeves, calling him down, so he turned his head and pulled his legs away.
"Daoist! Road! I just seemed to see something, and kept waving at me, could there really be something unclean in this pond? Sweating profusely, he ran to the side of Yundu Daoren, and whispered softly in his ear.
"If you want the silver ticket, I'll give it back to you, if you want to drink and eat meat with you, just shut your mouth for me, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, when you want to tell you, I will naturally tell you how to do it then, you know?" Yundu Daoist turned his head and said seriously.
The flower in the water touched this belly, and was already hungry, so she wiped the sweat off her forehead, pointed at this person and said: "You are ruthless! In this barren mountains and mountains, I don't care about you in general, if you don't let me talk, then I can eat meat and drink wine, right? Really, do I have so many rules for inviting you and the little beggar to eat and drink in the restaurant? Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge is ungrateful, you wait for me! ”
The flower in the water looked angry, and quickly followed behind the fat rich man, and the Yundu Daoist turned around, looked at the pond for a moment, and then followed behind him.
The house slave in this bamboo forest, when he saw the master Liu Wencai coming back, put down the firewood, nodded and came over: "Master! You're back, huh? These two are ......"
Liu Wencai pointed to the two flowers in the water, and then introduced and said: "This is the Taoist priest invited back by the master, hurry up and lead the way, ask the gang to kill more chickens, and so on!" Kill the black dog again, and stew the soup for these two guests to taste! ”
Shui Zhonghua followed behind the slave, only to see the white courtyard wall appear in front of them, everyone entered through the back door, through the back garden, and finally arrived at the reception hall, just arranged for the two to sit down, made hot tea and hurried to the room.
The flowers in the water looked around, but found that as he walked, the rich man Liu Wencai disappeared without a trace, and when he was scratching his head and wondering, someone patted him on the shoulder behind his back, so he turned his head and looked at the person who came, and came out in a cold sweat......
