Volume 1: Xuanqing Fengyun, the first ramp Chapter 3 Lucky Bag
The moonlight was shining brightly, and it was late at night.
Erdan's family lives outside the city, with a mud yard and two rooms next to each other, where the parents live in a slightly larger house, while Erdan lives in a small room next to it.
After all, he is a fourteen-year-old child, and it is not convenient to live in the same room with his parents. The father said that when the second egg took his daughter-in-law in the future, he would give up the big house, and the old couple would move to the small house next to them.
But when he can marry a daughter-in-law, the second egg himself doesn't know. In fact, it is quite comfortable to live alone in a small house, and you can sleep as much as you want.
If you can't sleep, you will not be found by your parents if you sneak out to touch the loaches, as long as you come back before dawn. In the past few days, I am really tired, as long as I lie down, I can sleep until dawn, and then it is a busy day.
At this time, the moonlight illuminates the entire courtyard. The farm tools were neatly placed by the courtyard wall, except for the occasional snoring of my father in the room, and the cooing of the old hen in the chicken pen from time to time.
The big black dog next to the chicken pen didn't bother to open his eyes, lying on the ground, drooping his head.
Suddenly, the big black dog's ears moved, and when he opened one eye, he saw Erdan coming out of the room, wagging his tail casually, and then closed his eyes again, ignoring it.
Erdan sat on a small bench in the courtyard, and he didn't know what evil he had fallen into today. As soon as I closed my eyes, I thought of the old man, his face that I didn't know how to describe, and the nonsense he said, which always lingered in Erdan's mind and lingered.
What is the unity of heaven, earth and man? These few words and scattered things, after the old man put them together, still make people feel a little mysterious.
But why is it that only Erdan has been obsessed with this, and everyone else doesn't take it seriously. Even the dog and the black skin thought that the old man was talking nonsense there, where could the second egg be so obsessed.
At this time, Erdan was sitting there, looking at the moon in the sky, white and mysterious. It's the second half of the night, and if you don't sleep again, I'm afraid you won't be able to get up tomorrow morning. As he got up and was about to go back to his room, he felt a diaphragm under his buttocks. It's like sitting on something hard.
When the second egg touches it, judging from the feel, it should be a small cloth ball wrapped with a few hard things. But when you get closer, isn't this the little blessing bag that the old man gave him before? And the three copper coins contained in it were the three that Erdan gave to the old man.
This time, it was a little scared. I remember putting the copper coins in a bag and returning them to the old man.
It's strange how it can appear in your own yard.
Could it be that this old man has come to his house? Erdan looked around, everything around him was quiet, even the always alert big black dog lay there quietly, sleeping like a dead dog.
Looking around, there was nothing unusual, Erdan climbed the courtyard wall and looked outside, between which the outside was white by the moonlight, a path stretched out, and the surrounding ridges and haystacks were clearly visible, and it was surprisingly quiet.
Erdan put away the copper coin and looked at the bag carefully in the moonlight.
It's really mediocre and sloppy, and it's not necessarily a pity to throw it away. But? How did it appear here again? Perhaps, it was the old man who secretly stuffed it to him when he was leaving, and the second egg didn't notice it at the time.
This is the only explanation that can be justified at the moment.
Think of it as a small bag of money, and the three or two small coins in your hand are enough. It's just a little too dirty, and there is a bad smell, and when I have time tomorrow, I will take the soap horn to bleach, maybe it can change a little.
Thinking of this, Erdan didn't go into it anymore, pulled the rope of the lucky bag, and prepared to put it away and go back to the room to continue sleeping. But when I pulled it like this, I heard the jingle for a lifetime, like the sound of a copper coin inside.
Didn't you put the copper money on yourself in front of you? Why is there still in it? Erdan took out the previous copper coins, no more, no less, only three.
So how did this come about? Didn't you find it before? Erdan poured the copper coins out of the bag, and added the previous copper coins to a total of six. Then he stuffed the six copper coins into the bag together, and then, as he had just done, pulled the mouth of the bag, shook it, and poured it out.
"One, two, three, four, five, six." The two eggs were counted in turn, and there were only six copper coins in the bag, no more, no less. Aren't you dazzled?
When he thought back to the steps he had just taken, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember it for a while. Erdan closed his eyes and thought for a while.
Suddenly, there was a flash of inspiration.
"Mo isn't it?"
Erdan gently pulled up the rope and carefully put away the bag little by little, for fear of tearing the rope off too hard. When he pulled to the tightest point, the fabric at the mouth of the bag became more and more wrinkled, only to hear a "bang", and there was a sound of copper coins hitting inside the bag.
Poured out and counted, and there were six more copper coins in the empty bag.
Erdan's eyes widened in surprise at the strange thing in front of him, and he felt an inexplicable excitement. Thinking back to what the old man said, as well as the baby lucky bag that suddenly appeared, Erdan felt that this matter was not simple at all, and he must go to the temple tomorrow to ask what happened.
The old man has this treasure in his hand, it can be said that he can have whatever he wants, how can he be so raunchy. The only explanation for this is that the old man is also a master, a person who cultivates the truth as he speaks.
Erdan tried back and forth several times, and changed the copper coins from twelve to more than a thousand. He noticed a strange phenomenon, anything that could fit in the mouth of the bag could be stuffed into the bag, and it didn't look heavy at all. At most, he stuffed in more than a hundred copper coins at once, as well as seven or eight corn cobs. But you can't feel the weight on your hands, which is amazing.
Moreover, if you want to copy something, you must pour out the previous thing, and then tighten the mouth of the bag, when you hear the sound, it means that the copy is successful.
If the mouth of the bag is not tightened, it will not be copied, and the bag will remain empty. During this period, there will be a period of 60 seconds, that is, if the bag is not tightened for more than 60 seconds, the things that were put in before will not be copied and will need to be reinserted again.
To put it simply, Erdan only found that this bag has two functions now. One is that you can copy what you can put in, and the other is that you can store a lot of things, and as for how much you can put in, you can't try it out for a while.
At least, Erdan's family is already a rich family from tonight. Judging from the current experiment, it is no longer a matter of how much you want, what big mansions, thousands of acres of fertile land, and even marrying ten or eight aunts-in-law are no longer a problem.
It's just that how should I tell my parents about this? After thinking about it for a long time, Erdan decided to go to the broken temple tomorrow to ask for clarification before making a decision.
On the second day, Erdan casually made a sloppy look, temporarily put down the farm work that was about to last night, and hurriedly ran to the broken temple.
But as soon as I arrived at the gate of the temple, I saw a sea of people, crowded with people who offered incense. I don't know where many stonemasons and bricklayers came from, and they are doing restoration work on the broken temple.
He walked around the ruined temple, even in the weeds and under the tribute table, but he couldn't see the old man. For a while, the Po Temple became full of incense, and I also felt strange.
Since the contact with this old man, these strange things have happened in a row, who is he? Now all I have to do is find him and ask him clearly.
But after observing the crowd for a long time, there was no trace of the old man.
An incense aunt said: "Last night, the temple flashed with golden light, and a god came. ”
Last night? Erdan remembered that when he went back yesterday, it was almost dark. If it was that time, he didn't find any golden light.
But who are the gods that the villagers are talking about? Could it be the old man? Thinking of the lucky bag that suddenly appeared last night, and the golden light fairy in the mouths of the villagers, it must have something to do with this old man, at least it has a lot to do with him.
It seems that only he knows this, and if the villagers knew, they would not have shaped the broken stone statue of the city god in the temple. But he won't tell these people, after all, everyone won't believe it.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have believed that the bad old man who was beaten away by the embarrassment of telling stories in the teahouse before, and then slept in the broken temple, was actually the god in their mouths.
Maybe he followed the example of the villagers and worshiped in the temple, they worshipped the city god in the temple, and the second egg worshipped the god-like old man.
Perhaps, at some point he will appear again, or maybe he will never appear.
That night, Erdan told his parents about these strange things. In their lives, neither their grandparents nor their grandparents have experienced these things.
It's just that Erdan's father heard some wandering merchants say when he was a child, and there seem to be many people who cultivate the truth and practice the Tao in the Xuanqing Temple in Changsu City. As for the rest, I don't know anything.
Presumably this old man came from here, but it is not known what the purpose of looking for him is. My father said that these people are unpredictable, and they don't have to speculate on everything.
As for the treasure left by the old man, it has indeed brought a lot of benefits to the family. My father insisted on taking only a small amount, then sold the family's land and rented a decent shop in the city. Reselling a little mountain goods and souvenirs, life is slowly getting better.
As the saying goes, if wealth is not exposed, windfall wealth will cause disaster since ancient times. At this point, his father often told Erdan, telling him to keep a low profile, and never show his money and treasures to others, so as not to cause death.
Two years have passed. Li Erdan has changed from a previous peasant child to Boss Li and Young Master Li. Now the size is also a small son with an industry, and his identity has improved a lot, so it is difficult to call the name Erdan anymore.
The family has money, and there is an endless stream of people who come to the door to propose marriage. The previous matchmakers all changed their faces, and they praised Li Yiming's father for a while, saying polite things like shrewdness and good business, just to tell Yiming a family affair, so that they could eat some bonuses.
At first, his parents went to discuss with Yiming, asking him to go and have a look, and choose a suitable one to start a family early. But after a few times of persuasion to no avail, he stopped being verbose.
It seems that their son is not a thing in the pool, and everything is free for him.
