Chapter 3 Chopping wood and colliding with the weaver

Yan Bugui followed behind the second uncle, and saw that there were people greeting the second uncle in many shops along the way. There was even a fat man who was familiar with Yan Changjiu and joked with Yan Changjiu: "Old Yan, this black boy looks very similar to you, it can't be the son you gave birth to outside your mother-in-law's back, right?"

As soon as these words came out, passers-by were inexplicably surprised and said that Pan An was reincarnated, but it provoked a big laugh from several insiders.

"Hehe! This is the eldest son of my third brother, of course he is a little similar to me" Yan Changjiu was not only not angry, but also a little proud.

Yan Changchang entered the "Xilai Building", greeted a few regular customers, and told Yan not to run around if he did not return, so as not to get lost, and then went to clean up the accounts by himself.

Yan didn't return, so he took Yan Xiaoxiao to the backyard and began to help wash the vegetables.

The two of them had only done a cup of tea, and they saw Wang Lin sweating profusely and carrying wood to the backyard. Wang Lin told the shopkeeper Yan that these firewood were all called a few days ago, and some of the family still had some to pick up when they came back tomorrow morning. Yan Changchang finally saw that Wang Lin was diligent, so he first gave him two taels of silver to go to his parents' affairs in the afternoon, and told him that he could also go to the restaurant to do some miscellaneous work in the future.

Wang Lin was very grateful! Humming a little song and a gust of wind, he ran to buy paper money and a paper house for his parents.

Before noon the next day, Li Qianmei really handed over a piece of cloth, and brought some agricultural and sideline products with Xie Yan's shopkeeper yesterday's help.

Yan didn't lose Li Qianmei for a long time, and gave her enough money. But perhaps because of staying up late weaving, Li Qianmei's face was very pale. Coincidentally, Wang Lin sent Chai He, and gently scraped at the door and touched Li Qianmei, and Li Qianmei fainted on the ground.

Yan Changchang came out and pinched her when she heard the sound, and Li Qianmei woke up only when she heard a "bang". Yan has been a good teacher for a long time.

Wang Lin was red-faced, and he didn't quibble when he stood next to him. Li Qianmei felt that she was responsible this time, and hurriedly told the shopkeeper Yan that it was not Wang Lin who was knocked unconscious, maybe she fainted to the ground because the sun was too strong just now. This Wang Lin was only then smirking innocently beside him.

Yan Chang thought about it for a long time, the sun was shining today, and it was not easy for a woman to walk so far under the scorching sun and carrying a piece of cloth. Beckoned Li Qianmei to sit in the store first and rest for a while before leaving.

Wang Lin, this young man, is really a governor, and after he hurriedly put the firewood in the backyard, he went to get a bowl of saltwater ginger soup for Li Qianmei to drink. And explained that this is his family's ancestral summer heat stroke prevention soup.

Li Qianmei rested for a while, drank more soup, and her face began to turn red, and at this time it was even more crimson.

After Li Qianmei drank the soup, she remembered that she could buy a coffin for her mother-in-law and make a shroud, but she sighed again. When the shopkeeper Yan asked, he realized that it was Li Qianmei who couldn't find anyone to carry her mother-in-law's coffin back.

The shopkeeper Yan is also a sensible person, and he finally knows that it is difficult for a widow to do. Thinking of this kind of widow, there must be relatives, friends, and neighbors who will come to propose marriage from time to time, and this Li Qianmei must have offended a lot of people by refusing, and the widow and neighborhood men who want to rub oil and water can't get any benefits, so everyone has been estranged and ignored her for a long time.

Thinking of this, Yan Changjiu was a good person to send the Buddha to the West Heaven in the end, and took the opportunity to call Wang Lin to find someone to help Li Qianmei carry her mother-in-law's coffin back one day. As for those customs and etiquette, Wang Lin also understands the scattered things, so he doesn't have to worry about not doing well.

However, this back and forth finally matched this couple. It is precisely because of this chance that Wang Xiaochuan will have the help of chance and chance on the way to Yan Bugui in the future. This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

In other words, Wang Lin's parents dreamed of a paper house and reminded Yan for a long time. That is, he is a businessman, and he should worship the Bodhisattva more, although he usually does this, and he will burn incense and pay tribute to those Bodhisattvas during the New Year's Festival. But now it happens that his nephew Yan Bugui is going to participate in the inner disciple test of Baiheya, which is also a great luck for the Yan family, so he should also go to the Qingyi Temple in Nanshan to burn incense and worship the Buddha and ask the Buddha to bless his nephew to enter Baiheya as an inner disciple, so that he can do business with a strong waist in the future.

Yan Changchang was originally a bold character, he really thought of it, and immediately pulled the second child out of the door, bought incense and candles, and found a carriage to rush to the Qingyi Temple to burn incense for the Bodhisattva and ask the Buddha to bless Yan Bu This time, he can smoothly enter Baihe Cliff as an inner disciple. Nothing else will be said.

And so, two days passed. On the third day, a carriage stopped in front of the restaurant.

The whole body of this carriage was shiny with black paint, and the horses driving were also one of the best yellow horses in a hundred. On the side of the carriage was a small yellow flag with the word "crane" rusted, with gold and silver edges, with a domineering spirit and a mystery.

Seeing this small flag, all the veterans of the rivers and lakes who walked around in this radius of hundreds of miles knew that the "White Crane Cliff", one of the two overlords of this place, had important people coming to the local area.

It is rumored that "White Crane Cliff" was founded by the famous "White Crane Fly" hundreds of years ago, and once dominated for 300 years, and even penetrated into several other states close to Danzhou, and became famous. But since the death of "White Crane Fly", the strength of "White Crane Cliff" has plummeted, and it has been squeezed out of Danzhou City, the capital of Danzhou, by other sects. A hundred years ago, the sect was forced to relocate to the most remote place in Danzhou, Longwei Mountain, and since then it has taken root and settled here, and has become a third-rate local small force.

The ancients had a cloud: the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, after all, "White Crane Cliff" used to be a super big faction, although it is no longer a super faction, but whether it is materials or human resources or gang inheritance, it is not comparable to the general third-rate small potential, even those second-rate sects may not be comparable. Coming to Longwei Mountain, there are more than a dozen small towns including "Qingniu Town" under the jurisdiction of strength, with 3,000 inner disciples and more than 10,000 outer disciples, and it is one of the two major overlords in the local area.

Speaking of the two major hegemons, the other one is the "Dragon and Tiger Gang" that confronts Baiheya.

The predecessor of the Dragon and Tiger Gang was a group of horse thieves within the borders of Mizhou, and later after several encirclements and suppressions, some of them accepted the recruitment of the government, and the other part became the current Dragon and Tiger Gang. However, the fierceness of the horse thief, bloodthirsty, and daring to kill and fight has been passed down, and Baiheya no longer takes the initiative to expand in terms of strength, but he just wants to take care of his own jurisdiction with peace of mind, and manage his own sect disciples to cultivate. Therefore, Baiheya was repeatedly at a disadvantage when it clashed with the Dragon and Tiger Gang.

Although there are many towns and villages controlled by the Dragon and Tiger Gang, they who are born as bandits know how to operate, and it is even more impossible for the people to win over the manpower of management methods. Therefore, those small towns are also gradually decaying, and the degree of wealth is far less than those under the jurisdiction of Baiheya.

But people's hearts are like this, the ground under the jurisdiction of Baihe Cliff is rich, and the Dragon and Tiger Gang covets several wealthier territories under Baihe Cliff. Recently, it has provoked a conflict between the two, which has caused a headache for the current Baiheya sect master, which has also become one of the main reasons why Baiheya has repeatedly expanded the number of disciples in the sect in recent years.

The words went far and jumped out of the carriage a tall, thin horse-faced man of about forty years old in a soap coat, with a white crane with wings embroidered on his left chest.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it jumped out of the carriage, but in fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is floating out of the carriage. Just missed this hand, and I saw that the people near the restaurant were amazed. But seeing that this man was agile, he seemed to be familiar with this place, and strode straight to the counter where Yan Jiujiu was.

As soon as Yan Changjiu saw this person, he immediately stepped forward respectfully and greeted him: "Wang Zuo Protector, why did your old man personally bring someone here?"

Wang Protector's face was arrogant, and he casually pointed to Yan Bugui, who came out to see the excitement, and asked: "The road is not smooth during this time, we must strengthen our defense, the elder ordered me to come and lead people in person, don't talk nonsense, this kid is the person you want to promote?"

"Yes, yes, this is my own nephew, and I hope that the king will take care of him on the way to protect the Dharma!"

Yan Changchang saw that this man looked a little impatient, and the shopkeeper who was proficient in affairs was different, and immediately saw the clue, and immediately took out a heavy bag from his body and secretly handed it over to Wang Da Protector.

Wang Protector flipped the bag, his expression was a little happy, and his face eased down.

"Yan Changjiu, your nephew and I will take good care of you on the road. It's getting late, and we have to hurry. ”

Then they hugged each other and said goodbye: "There will be a period later!"
