Chapter 021: The Water Business Concept is gone

Duan Xiaolou returned to the Taoist temple and heard that He Angelica was taking medicine in the medicine house, so he hurriedly jumped on the roof and jumped in front of the medicine house after a few jumps.

"I'm sorry, it's all our fault for messing up here, otherwise you wouldn't have to work hard to clean here." Duan Xiaolou said apologetically to He Angelica, "I also know some herbs, let's make them with you." ”

He Angelica shook his head: "Duan Gongzi, you are wrong, if it weren't for you to mess up here, how could I have the opportunity to come here to pick up and dispense medicine casually, I should thank you." What was the end result of that incident? ”

Duan Xiaolou looked at her gently and said, "Everything is as you expected, those two wicked women have collected enough money here, and they are still sending the car to the brothel." I called a few officials and told them to 'sell two goods for one thing', first they took the money from me, and then sold them to other families. After that, the officials seized fifty taels of silver from them, and confirmed my words, and put the wicked women in prison. ”

Although the dynasty did not prohibit human trafficking, in order to protect the rights and interests of buyers, the punishment for human traffickers who sold goods and goods was very severe. Cheng Pozi and Wu Pozi lifted a stone to hit themselves in the foot, and this time they deserved it.

He Angelica asked: "What is the situation of Zhengong and the others?" Zhenzhu is very concerned about them. ”

Duan Xiaoloujun's face flushed slightly, and he said, "I will...... If you find a way to settle them, you can tell Master Zhenzhu that they will not suffer again in the future. ”

He hesitated again and again but didn't say it, and after he finished dealing with Mrs. Cheng and them, the seven little Dao aunts also woke up, pulled his sleeves and threw themselves into his arms one by one, crying so much that their hearts and intestines were broken. He couldn't bear it, so he agreed to take them as maids and take them back to his home in the capital. Coupled with the Xue Niang and Lian'er mother and daughter he rescued in Yangzhou, this time the "excess" brought back ten people, I don't know if the mother will be mad......

He Angelica was silent for a moment, and then smiled: "Then there is Lao Gongzi." ”

The two of them kept the medicine until dark, and He Angelica wrapped two packets of herbs and took them away. Duan Xiaolou sent her back to the East Chamber, and wanted to open her mouth to say something several times, but she didn't know where to start. I don't know if it's his delusion, but the alienation of the girl in front of her seems to have returned to when the two first met. Obviously, this morning, she also showed him a heartfelt smile, why did she become the iceman who didn't smile in her eyes after half a day?

Duan Xiaolou was thinking hard about it, and suddenly saw a little Dao Gu running from the opposite side, looking very panicked.

Zhenjing ran out of breath, covered her stomach and said, "Oh no, I was called to clean Zhengong's room during the day, and I was busy until the evening." I went back to the East Wing just now and found that our house was a mess! ”

He Angelica frowned: "Did you lose something?" ”

Zhenjing shook her head: "I clicked it and didn't find anything missing, our house originally had nothing to steal, the thief probably rummaged through, and left without anything to see!" ”

He Angelica's face suddenly changed suddenly, it was not good, his rich immortal lock was left in the house.

In her previous life, because the Luo family refused to come to pick her up, when she lived in the Taoist temple for the second month, He Angelica was reduced to the lowest class of hard labor.

Because every day is the dirtiest and most tiring work, including pouring incense and washing the toilet. She was afraid that she would damage and stain the golden lock of immortality given by her mother, so she hid the golden lock under the bed.

Every night before going to bed, she would lie on the ground and stretch out her hand to say goodbye to Jin Suo. Until one night when she reached out, she could no longer touch the golden lock. At that time, she cried bitterly, and Huaidong, the steward in the backyard, thought she was too noisy, so he tied her up and hung her upside down on the beam, and hung her all night.

Every child who grows up next to her mother can get different gifts every year on her birthday and holidays, but she only has a golden lock at the time of the full moon, and she has never left her body for ten years, and she cherishes her life more than her life. That night, she sobbed incessantly hanging from the beams of the house, tears flowed through the corners of her eyes, flowed through her long hair, and finally flowed to the ground, who took her golden lock? Give her back the golden lock, she'll trade anything else for it!

When she was reborn in this life, this golden lock was still in her arms, as if she had never left.

Lost and regained, so that He Angelica cherished it even more, and always carried the rich and immortal golden lock with him and sewed it in a small embroidered pocket on the placket. However, this morning, she changed into a new dress and a new dress sent by Duan Xiaolou, and originally planned to borrow a pair of scissors from Zhenjing after a while to remove the embroidered pocket from the old clothes. Later, He Angelica only cared about following Zhenzhu down the mountain, and forgot to take her golden lock!

Duan Xiaolou had never seen He Angelica with such an expression, and he always thought that words like "flustered, helpless, and weak" had nothing to do with this girl. Just last night, when Gao absolutely made a killing move, she didn't have this kind of look like the sky was falling.

"Sister He, don't worry, no matter what you lose, even if you lift the entire Taoist temple, I will find it back for you!" Duan Xiaolou grabbed the slender girl and said softly, "Let's go see the situation first, maybe it's still there." Then with these words, the two hugged each other and rose into the air, and disappeared after a few ups and downs on the eaves.

Zhenjing opened her mouth wide and stared at the place where the two disappeared for a while, and then ran back crookedly with her stomach in her arms.

As soon as he landed, He Angelica immediately rushed into the house and grabbed the light green jacket skirt on the ground to check.

It's really gone.

He Angelica sat on the ground in a trance, as if he was exactly the same as in his previous life. In the morning, she still holds it in her hand and traces the pattern on it with her fingertips; At night, she lost it forever, the full moon gift that her mother had asked the craftsman to make for her.

Mother, is she okay now? Supposedly, the letter I wrote to her should have been delivered a long time ago, why hasn't I replied yet?

In her previous life, she dreamed of going back to before her mother was deceived and deceived, driving away all those traitors, wicked people, and yin and yang people, and seeking a quiet time for her mother and herself. Now she really got her wish, eighteen years ago in this life, nothing happened, and everything was still in time. But why did she still lose her golden lock?

Isn't fate irreversible? No matter how she struggles, does she have to follow the old path of her previous life and go through it all over again?

Looking at the pale little face that had lost blood, Duan Xiaolou's heart was like fire, and he patted her arm again and again, asking, "Tell me, what did you lose?" Tell me! As long as you say the name of that thing, Duan Mou will now tie up all the people in the entire water business view, dig three feet into the ground and find it back! ”

He Angelica was photographed back to his senses...... Get the golden lock back?

That's right, if you can get back the golden lock, then the so-called "fate presupposition" and "fate" will be broken, and you can live a different life! The eyes of the lost suddenly brightened, that's right, the world is like a new chess game, and things are man-made! How can there be anything in the world that cannot be changed? She has been reborn, and she wants to change all this completely, refusing to accept the arrangement of fate!

Thinking of this, He Angelica looked at Duan Xiaolou and said with sincere gratitude: "Thank you, just now I was controlled by my own demons and almost walked into a dead end." If you hadn't woken me up, I wouldn't have been able to extricate myself! ”

Duan Xiaolou looked at her distressedly, and said softly: "Girl, don't be sad, even if you go to the soup and fire, Duan will definitely recover the lost property for you." If you want, Duan will always be ......" because Zhenjing panted like a cow and staggered into the house, and he didn't finish his next words.

He Angelica lowered his head, grabbed a piece of black charcoal that rolled down to the ground, and said to himself: "Go to the soup and go to the fire, fire, what a fire......"

"It's dry, watch out for the candles!" ”

"It's dry, watch out for the candles!" Watch out for the candles! ”

The water merchant view is different from ordinary people's homes, and there are many places where fire is used, and the three main halls dedicated to the gods are regularly lit with candles and incense burners. At night, the meditation room is often brightly lit, and Taoist aunts who are not familiar with the scriptures have to be punished for copying them many times, because once they memorize the scriptures incorrectly when doing the dojo and rituals, they will be ugly and strange in front of the pilgrims, which will affect the reputation of the water business concept.

Every night, the kitchen is turned off and locked, but there is a makeshift stove made of bricks in the hallway behind the kitchen. Generally speaking, women more or less have a hobby of eating snacks, and Daogu is also a woman, so she is not exempt from vulgarity. This simple stove was secretly set up by them, and whoever was hungry would bake a sweet potato, paste a cake, and cook a bowl of noodles here.

There are also many places where the temple uses fire at night, and it is especially dangerous in the dry autumn. Therefore, Taishan paid special attention to fire prevention, and arranged four shifts of people to take turns to patrol at night, and always kept an eye on the fire situation everywhere.

"Someone! Come on! The water is goneβ€”the kitchen is waterβ€”"

In the silent night, a sharp female voice suddenly sounded, and it only took a cup of tea to wake up everyone in the Taoist temple. The Taoist aunts slept soundly, put on a robe in a daze, and rushed out of the house with a basin. When I came out to take a look, I saw thick smoke billowing from the back alley of the kitchen, burning with a "crackling" sound, and gradually spreading to the surrounding four or five utility rooms.

Taishan wore a messy gray hair and scolded, "Fools, you are all dead? Don't put out the fire for me! Fire! ”

The Taoist aunts didn't dare to delay, and if there was water in their basins, they ran directly to the fire, and if there was no water in the basins, they looked around for water tanks. But there are quite a few people who have not fully come to their senses, you step on my shoes, I hit her basin, and the scene is a mess. Seeing this scene, Taishan was so angry that he scolded his mother again and again.

After a while, the fire grew bigger and bigger. Taishan gritted his teeth, raised the dust, and knocked on the Dao Gu who was not good at moving, and the copper handle of more than four catties and six taels smashed many people, so frightened that everyone rushed to the fire, and even threw the basin in his hand.

When they ran to the back alley of the kitchen, facing the sky-high fire, seventy or eighty Dao Gu only had four pots of water, and they couldn't even extinguish a wisp of fire. As a result, everyone stared at each other and was helpless in the face of the heatwave.

At this moment, four god-like figures suddenly appeared in the air, waving their arms at the fire below, and after a while, the fire was half smaller.

The Taoist girls were almost stunned, and Taishan ran to the entrance of the alley and scolded breathlessly: "Damn, why don't you put out the fire for the old lady and raise you stupid pigs...... It's better to raise a few real pigs! ”

Some Dao Gu hurriedly smashed open the front door of the kitchen, found utensils, and scooped water out of the water tank to put out the fire.

More Dao Gu still raised their heads stupidly, looking at the figures in the sky in a daze.

The firelight brightened their faces, and it turned out to be Duan Xiaolou, Liao Zhiyuan, Lu Jiangbei and Gao Jue. They formed a special formation above the fire, took turns to shoot in a certain order, and waved an amazing palm wind downward, which was different from the ordinary natural wind, which could only stimulate the fire and make the fire out of control, and the palm wind they played could actually extinguish the fire!

In this way, a strong wind blew above, and cold water was poured below, and in a short time the fire turned into a small fire, and the small fire turned into flames, and the flames turned into black smoke, and the black smoke turned into scorched earth.

After the fire was extinguished, Duan Xiaolou, Gao Jue and other four people fell from the sky, Taishan pushed everyone away and trotted up to meet them, "plopped" and threw himself to the ground, kowtowed a few times in a row, and thanked him more than once.

The four of them glanced at each other, and Gao Jue asked expressionlessly, "Why did you suddenly go out of the water?" ”

Lu Jiangbei crossed his arms in front of his chest, walked around the stove that was burned into black charcoal, and said, "It seems that someone forgot to turn off the fire after making supper." ”

Liao Zhiyuan nodded: "That's right, you see, there is also a sweet potato that has been burned to ashes here." ”

Duan Xiaolou was furious: "It's really unreasonable, knowing that there are many court officials staying here, you still abuse the stove like this!" If you burn any of the Jinyi guards, it won't be enough to compensate for your Taoist temple! ”

Lu Jiangbei looked at Taishan who was kneeling on the ground, and snorted coldly: "Er Nai is the master of the family, and the Taoist temple is in the water, and you are guilty of negligence." If you can't find the culprit who ignited the fire, the official will pick off Er's dog head first! ”
