Little Bean said yes and ran quickly down the mountain.

The villagers stuck out their heads to look at Sakura Po, and greeted with a smile: "The little master has started to do things so early." ”

Sakura nodded at them and went back to the temple.

Now the village is getting richer, and the people are in good spirits.

Even Cuilan and Xiaodouzi brothers and sisters have gained weight.

The people from the military camp ten miles away also came a few times, but they didn't come to look for trouble, they always talked to the master in the house about things.

Originally, Sakura wanted to hear what they had to say, but was stopped by the elder brother and prevented her from approaching the master's house.

So Sakura had a little guess, and as long as she saw them coming, she avoided going somewhere else.

The second senior brother was not allowed to approach like her, so he took the little junior sister to explore the cave every time he arrived.

In the evening, Little Douzi and his grandfather brought several large clay pots to Sakura, each of which could be used for bathing.

These clay pots are not expensive, and one is only twenty or thirty yuan.

Sakura Bao paid the money, ignored the second senior brother's questioning, cleaned them all, and only said that he would use them to hold things.

The next day, while the master and the two brothers were away, Sakura Po poured them all with water and put them in a secluded part of the courtyard, and then waited for them to freeze.

Not to mention, it only took half a day to freeze the water in these large basins.

But the trouble came, she couldn't get the ice out of the basin.

After thinking about it for a long time, I came up with an idea.

Go to the stove room to boil a pot of hot water, put the ice basin on the steaming hot water to warm up for a while, the ice at the bottom of the basin melts, and you can easily pour out the ice lumps.

After the ice cubes were poured out, Sakura did not rush to put it into the cave, but put it outside and froze for a while, and then put it into the cave.

For the next month, Sakura used this method to collect ice cubes, each time secretly working while his brother and master were away.

In the month of Layue, more and more people came to the Taoist temple to buy incense and water, and Zhou Wuxian's little apprentice was too busy, so he went to discuss with the village chief and asked them to choose two neat young men to come over and take care of the incense.

However, the income from Shiquan Cave is still the responsibility of the three villages, and the money earned is also distributed by themselves.

Sakura didn't care about that, she wrote a letter to her family and Sister Wen, told them that she was safe, and sent a large package with the letter, which contained crystal jade stalagmites.

These letters and parcels were all taken by Master to be mailed, and I didn't worry about it.

Towards the end of the Chinese New Year, it snowed for the second time.

The heavy snow soon covered the snow that had not yet melted.

Sakura Po sat alone on the hot kang and looked through the window at the people who braved the snow to worship.

Most of them are from poor families in the neighborhood, some come for money, some for medical treatment, and some for children.

Most of the time, Master Zhou Wuchang went to see him, and when he met a female patient, he called Yingbao over.

Sakura has seen a lot of female patients recently, but most of them are not sick, they are actually asking how to have a son.

Once she met these women, Sakura called the second senior brother and asked him to dance a sacrificial dance for them.

Zhang Min was very unhappy at first, but after being stared at by the little junior sister deathly, he had to barely jump a few steps to fool around.

Time passed quickly in such trivialities.

In the blink of an eye, it was June of the following year.

At this time, Shiquan Mountain has become a well-known incense holy place.

The bottom of the mountain slowly gathered into a bazaar, and first Wu Yi led the villagers to build several houses and a few grass sheds on the wasteland below the mountain.

The house gives people a rest, which is equivalent to a temporary inn. Under the straw hut is a tea stall selling spring water from the stone spring.

When other villages saw this, they also came to build a few houses and built several straw huts, and they did not sell tea, but sold flatbread, steamed buns, pickles, and other food.

Seeing this, the foreigners also secretly carried baskets to sell their own things, and some of them were smart, and they also sold sachets and handkerchiefs embroidered with the Nine Heavens Xuannu.

The two peonies in the cave have been in budding and blooming after Sakura Bao watered some pupil springs from time to time, completely convincing people that these flower trees are two sacred trees.

The children and wives of the nobles of the family who came from Fucheng spent a lot of money to buy one or two peonies to bring back, and they could boast and show off for a long time.

As a result, the villagers of Zaoshu Village and the other two villages quickly became wealthy, and some people even quietly beckoned their relatives over and set up a stall at the foot of the mountain.

Just when Yingbao thought that he would continue to stay here, Master Zhou Wuchang told the apprentices that he was going to take them back to Qinchuan County.

Sakura Po was overjoyed and immediately packed up her things and prepared to go home.

Five days later, the three of them rented two carriages and walked south along the official road.

When they came to a transportation wharf, the master and apprentice got on a big boat.

As soon as she got on the boat, Sakura felt that the atmosphere on the boat was wrong.

More than a dozen well-dressed young men were protecting a young man, intentionally or unintentionally.

This man is graceful, his face is fair and handsome, and he looks like a child of a family.

Master Zhou Wuchang seemed to recognize this person and nodded at him, but did not step forward to speak.

Sakura Bao was vigilant, and after entering the cabin, he quietly asked the second senior brother, "Do you recognize that person?" ”

Zhang Min shook his head: "I don't recognize it, what's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, I'm curious about who this person is and why Master recognizes him." Sakura said perfunctorily.

Zhang Min smiled: "Master knows more people, what's the fuss." ”

Sakura didn't say anything more, and went to pack her luggage.

At night, Sakura Bao lay on the cot and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and went to the cave to clean up the crops first, and then thought about the identity of the person on the deck.

He obviously didn't want to reveal his identity, so he didn't talk to Master on deck. But at night, he actually went to the master's cabin, and asked a few people to guard outside the cabin, which was not normal at first glance.

The ship had been on the road for two days, and the man rarely walked on deck during the day, but at night he went to the master's cabin and seemed to discuss something.

Sakura was puzzled, and she couldn't ask her master and brother, so she could only observe secretly.

By the third day, the group disembarked at a pier.

Sakura Bao watched them leave and asked Senior Brother, "Senior Brother, what is the name of this place?" ”

Zhou Hao said: "This is the boundary of Chengzhou. ”

Ying Bao blinked, always feeling that this Chengzhou was a little familiar.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind.

Chengzhou, isn't it the fiefdom of the feudal king who will rebel?

Is this man a king? Or is it the son of a king?

No wonder it's sneaky all the way.

The vassal king was not allowed to leave the fief without an edict, otherwise it would be regarded as a bad intention.

If this person really became a king or the son of a king, then what was the Master plotting with him?

Sakura Po thought of this, and her back felt cold.

King Cheng is the younger brother of the former emperor, and the master is the brother-in-law of the former emperor, and he can be regarded as the uncle of the current saint.

If the master also participated in the rebellion of the vassal king, wouldn't his family be finished together?

No, no, no! Master must not be allowed to have anything to do with King Cheng.
