Chapter 509: Resolving Contradictions and Conditions
"With you?"
Hearing this, the old village chief laughed abruptly as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, and the folds on his face were all squeezed together at this moment, looking a little hideous.
"Ahem!"
The old village chief smiled and laughed but suddenly coughed violently as if he had been choked, and suddenly we all didn't react, the middle-aged man who went up with the cash box ran down and stepped forward very nervously to support the old village chief: "Dad, are you okay?!" ”
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his head and glared at us: "What did you say to my dad?" Why are you provoking him?! ”
Seeing this, Yun Tinghuan hurriedly waved his hand and defended: "We didn't say anything to stimulate Ling Zun'......"
"Humph!"
The old village chief coughed more and more, how could the middle-aged man be in the mood to listen to Yun Tinghuan's defense again, and waved his hand angrily to drive us away: "You guys go, you are not welcome in our family!" ”
Seeing this, Yun Tinghuan wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Sundial Binquan, who looked at the old village chief who had been coughing non-stop, smiled, stretched out his hand, and patted him lightly on the shoulder.
Seeing this, the old village chief's son wanted to stop him, but he was surprised to find that the old village chief's coughing suddenly stopped, and he looked at his father with some surprise: "Dad, are you okay?" ”
"Ahem...... Ahem! ”
Maybe it was because he hadn't reacted yet, the old village chief coughed twice more and then slowly straightened up, he patted the middle-aged man's hand and shook his head and said, "No...... It's okay! ”
Seeing this, the middle-aged man looked at the old village chief with some excitement: "What the hell is going on?" Every time you cough, you don't get better for less than half an hour, why did you get better so quickly today? ”
As he spoke, he raised his head abruptly and looked at Sundial Binquan, and asked very excitedly, "It's you...... Was this Taoist who cured my father's illness? ”
At this moment, he also realized that he had misunderstood us earlier, so the tone of his voice to us was a little better, and his gaze at us also let his guard down.
I breathed a long sigh of relief when I saw this, whether or not we had to spend money to buy news from the old village chief, but leaving a bad impression on them or even staying with them is not a good thing for our next actions, after all, people can still talk in this fishing village!
He saw that the middle-aged man and the old village chief were looking at him with inquiring eyes, and then nodded very frankly and admitted: "That's right, it's just a massage method of our Daomen, which can well alleviate some sudden illnesses." ”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man sighed with some disappointment: "Isn't it still completely treated?" ”
"Filial piety!"
The old village chief suddenly glared at the middle-aged man, then turned his head to look at Yan Binquan and sighed before stretching out his hand to him: "Let me introduce myself, my surname is Huo, my name is Huo De, and I am the village chief of this fishing village!" ”
Then he pointed to his son and introduced to us: "This is my son Huo Xiaoguan. ”
After a pause, he took out a small notebook from his jacket pocket, flipped through it, and handed it to us: "See for yourself, the money I collected is not in my pocket, it is all to be distributed to the villagers!" ”
"This ......"
I took the notebook from Hodder's hand and looked through it for a while, then raised my head and nodded to Sundial Binquan and said, "That's right, I remember the account very clearly, and the money collected has indeed been distributed to the villagers of this fishing village!" ”
When I saw this notebook, I finally understood why the living conditions of most people in this fishing village are so good, and every family can basically build a gorgeous building, so the money is all out of here!
After confirming that the whereabouts of the money were indeed as Hod said, I returned the notebook to him, but before I could ask, Yun Tinghuan suddenly apologized to Hodder: "I'm sorry, I was a little excited before!" ”
"It doesn't matter! Anyway! ”
Hodder waved his hand and smiled bitterly: "It's also me for you...... It's too sensitive to Taoist priests! ”
After a pause, he sighed and said: "It's been three years, it's been three years since the water ghost appeared to make trouble, and countless Taoist priests have come in the past three years, and there are four groups of Taoist priests who have cheated away two million bonuses from us, our village has been living by fishing, and there is no way to go out to sea to fish in this sea ghost chaos, these two million can be said to be what we put together, but I didn't think about it, but I was deceived by those thieves and Taoists!" ”
Hearing this, we can finally understand why the old village chief relied on the information of that water ghost to make money, it is estimated that in their eyes, none of us Taoist priests are good people, all of them are liars with no conscience, so he is very disgusted with Taoist priests.
To say that he was able to welcome us in kindly to get money from us, but he didn't have any good feelings for the three of us himself!
"Alas!"
With a long sigh, Yun Tinghuan clenched his fists with some anger: "These liars must be those liars who are abducted and deceived in the rivers and lakes but use the banner of my Taoism, which really ruins my Taoist reputation!" ”
Hearing this, Sundial Bin shook his head helplessly: "We can't control this kind of thing, just don't forget our hearts!" ”
After a pause, he turned to look at the old village chief and said very sincerely, "I believe you should be able to believe in our strength now, right?" Please also tell us everything you know about the water ghost, and we will do our best to deal with the water ghost as soon as possible! ”
Hearing this, the old village chief was silent for a moment, then raised his head and stared deeply at Yan Binquan for a while before he spoke: "It's not impossible for me to tell you about the water ghost, but are you really sure that you can solve the water ghost?" ”
Sundial Bin Quan didn't show great confidence, but said very indifferently: "We don't dare to guarantee that we will be able to solve that water ghost, but we will definitely do our best!" ”
"Hmmm......"
Hearing this, Hodder hesitated, thinking that he would refuse to provide us with information, but he agreed, but he also put forward an additional condition.
"It's not impossible for me to tell you about the water ghost, but before I do that I want you to help me...... Do all the villagers in our fishing village a favor! ”
"You say!"
Sundial Bin nodded and said, "As long as we can, we will do our best!" ”
"Good!"
Hod nodded with satisfaction: "This matter shouldn't be a difficult thing for you, didn't you say that you have the ability?" Then help us punish those liars! ”
