Chapter Seventy-Five: The Fragrance of Melons and Fruits
Bai Yue was afraid that Tianchu would be nosy and delay time, so she came up with the idea of crossing the big forest, but Tianchu didn't worry about her at all, so she went to find a place to buy supplies, and Tianchu could run into trouble. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But this time it's not Tianchu, it's the matter that found him by himself, what the hell is going on?
They walked west from Wolong Town for two days to a place called Guizipo, which is located in the middle of the mountainside, not too big or small, there are more than 100 families in the whole village, these families are scattered and stretched on the mountainside and connected together, looking like the shape of a crutch from a distance.
Although the abduction slope is in the middle of the mountain, the traffic is inconvenient, and the outside world is not much, but the life of the mountain people here is very tasteful, the whole mountain around the abduction slope is planted with fruit trees by the industrious mountain people, this season is the time when the melon and fruit are fragrant, and a group of people at the beginning of the day are also attracted by this fruit fragrance.
There are more than a dozen kinds of fruits such as pomegranates like red lanterns, yellow oranges, delicious and juicy peaches, round and red apples, etc., and everyone is drooling.
Although the apprentices were very greedy, Tianchu was still very strict with them, without the permission of the owner of the orchard, Yunfei and Yunzhen were not allowed to pick fruits to eat at will, they smelled the fruit and drooled along the way through the orchard towards the village.
The people in the village are very sparse, scattered in the whole large orchard, at the beginning of the day, a group of people came to a family relatively close to them, the family of three generations of more than a dozen people are busy picking fruits in front of the house, the family is happy.
"Mother, mother, a group of people are here!" A barefoot boy about ten years old was riding on a tree, spotted the group of people at the beginning of the day, and turned back to shout at the adults who were busy in the yard.
A group of people coming? It was a big novelty for this isolated village, and the whole family, young and old, stopped what they were doing, got up and looked at the beginning of the day.
"What are you doing?" The eldest white-haired old man in the family, with a wary face, asked with a frown. The middle-aged woman next to her hurriedly took the child who was still playing into her arms, and her eyes were also full of vigilance.
"Uncle, don't be nervous, we are Taoist priests passing by, and we just want to buy something to eat from you." Tianchu explained kindly.
"Daoist? What does a Taoist priest do? The family looked at each other, obviously they didn't know that there was such a profession as a Taoist priest in this world.
"Uh...... How so? It is to catch ghosts, eliminate diseases and disasters, and look at feng shui or something. Tian Chu explained in simple and clear words.
"Oh...... You said earlier, isn't it just a big god, the blind woman in our village will do this, so many of you are big gods? The old lady beside the white-haired old man, smacking her toothless mouth, said in a slurred but loud voice.
"Hehe, yes, they're all Taoist priests." Tianchu smiled awkwardly, Bai Yue couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, their group of people were called Heavenly Masters, Great Immortals, and Dao Chiefs along the way, but they became dancing gods in this village.
"And what are you here for?" The white-haired old man lit the cigarette pouch and asked again.
"Oh Dad, didn't everyone say it? I wanted to buy something to eat. After a sturdy middle-aged man finished talking to the white-haired old man, he scratched his head and explained embarrassedly: "Don't mind, my father is old and has a bad memory, and he forgets after saying it for a while, by the way, what are you doing?" ”
Hearing this middle-aged man speak at the beginning of the day, his expression was stuck after half of the smile, Hong'er burst into laughter, covered her stomach and said, "No, I'm dying of laughter, this family doesn't have a good memory." ”
"We are Taoist priests, Taoist priests, Taoist priests, ghost catchers, remember? We're in charge of everything that is weird and messy! Bai Yue emphasized again.
"Oh...... Got it, is it better than that dancing god? Can you manage anything? Another dark and thin middle-aged man, who was half a head shorter than the middle-aged man, asked shyly.
"Take care of everything, let me tell you, don't look at my master's youth, but he is the number one view in the world, the head of the Hanyang Temple!" Yun Zhen brags to these people who have never seen the world without hiccups.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, let's go shopping." Tianchu glared at Yun Zhen, thinking to himself what was going on with the people in this village? Don't mention the matter of shopping, just talk about some useless, is the ghost brother also from their village?
"What are you going to buy?" Although the daughter-in-law of the sturdy middle-aged man has not spoken, her first sentence was to the point, and she quickly answered at the beginning of the day.
"Dry food, fruits, we have to go a long way, if your family is convenient, try to prepare as much as possible, silver is not a problem." Tian Chu said, took the money bag out of his arms, and checked it in his hand.
"What else are you looking at? Don't go to steamed buns yet! This time, the white-haired old man reacted quickly, knocked the cigarette pouch pot on the soles of his shoes and ordered, and the two daughters-in-law hurriedly rolled up their arms and sleeves and entered the house together.
"Boss, go chop firewood, light the fire, second, what are you doing standing stupidly? Hurry up and sit down and pour water! Third, take the children to pick some fruit, let them take it away later, take the big frame, take a few more! "This old man ordered the whole family like a general, and everyone took their places, and they were like two people who looked confused just now.
The black and thin dick brought a small stool for them to sit down at the beginning of the day, poured water again, and then stood beside the old man, waiting for the old man to tell him to do something, and then he moved.
The third son of their family was about the same age as Yunfei, very shy, and when he saw Hong'er, his face was red, and he was still snorting when he spoke, and he beckoned the five children to join him and carry the basket to pick fruits.
At the beginning of the day, they chatted with the old man while waiting for the two daughters-in-law to steam the buns, the family seemed to want to keep all the silver at the beginning of the day, and the buns were steamed pot after pot until the sun went down.
The three sons and the children took away a total of four baskets, and it stands to reason that even if they were children, there were six or seven people in total, and the four baskets should have been filled early, but who knew that the three daughters-in-law had packed the buns, and they didn't see these children coming back, so they began to be anxious, and went to the orchard to meet them one by one, but there was no one to see.
"Dad, why didn't you say that Xiao San'er hadn't come back yet, he was in a hurry, my family Taotao and Xiaoguo didn't eat at noon, so they couldn't be hungry." The second daughter-in-law anxiously looked into the distance and asked the old man.
"What's the hurry, I don't know how to eat fruit if I don't have anything to eat, I'm hungry, wait, this dead junior, is it a bad memory and forgets about the family, where is the wild?" The old man cursed angrily.
