Talking and laughing, the group soon came to the Hall of Everything.

The four of them found the steward, and as soon as they said the idea of finding a craftsman, they saw the steward's frown, and said "Wait a minute", then lowered his head and flipped through the thick account book in his hand, and only raised his head after a while, and said apologetically: "A few guests, I'm really sorry, all the craftsmen in Pingling Town have a full schedule of work in the past month, I'm afraid you will have to run in vain." ”

The bookworm exclaimed: "It's all full?!" As far as I know, there are not three hundred but two hundred and nine craftsmen in Pingling Town, and none of them are available?! ”

"There really aren't any extra craftsmen left." The steward said apologetically: "The Ming family in the east of the city planned to renovate the courtyard in the past two days, and they recruited all the craftsmen in the city in the morning. ”

When the scholar heard this, he saw that the steward looked sincere, not like he was lying, he paused, turned his head and asked Liang Xingyang, "Little lamb, what should I do now?" ”

Liang Xingyang didn't expect that last night's hexagram should be here, sighed lightly, and said: "Since you can't find a craftsman, then ......"

He stopped, turned his head and asked Qi Qi and Jiang Lianshan, "It's rare to come to Pingling Town, do you want to walk around?" ”

Qi Qi clasped his hands in front of his chest, his face was cold, and his red lips opened slightly, "Whatever." ”

Jiang Lianshan was a little moved, and was about to speak, when there was a "cooing" sound in his stomach.

Seeing this, the steward of the Wan Canteen hurriedly took the opportunity to promote: "A few guests, the food in our Wan Canteen is very good, and the price is also affordable, the guests can taste it, if you are worried about the noisy lobby, there is a private room upstairs." ”

If someone else can do things, this vision is much stronger than most people.

Liang Xingyang sighed in his heart and said, "Then try it." ”

As for the private room......

Glancing at the three people who looked curious and tried not to look around, he smiled, "Just eat in the lobby." ”

"Okay!" The steward responded with a gentle voice and beckoned Xiao Er to lead the four of them to the lobby.

Liang Xingyang and the four of them chose a corner seat and sat down, ordered the dishes, and then carefully looked at the decorations of Wanshitang.

There are two floors in total, and the site is not small.

The first floor is the lobby, there is a small stage in the middle, on which is placed a half-height gong, behind which is a huge stone wall, which is full of yellow and blue signs, and dozens of tables are placed under the stage, almost full, some simply come to eat, there are also confident, ready to take on the task, or just hung up the sign, full of anxious waiting for the capable.

On the second floor, there are private rooms, each with a small window facing the lobby stage, to ensure that guests in the private rooms can see the movement of the lobby at a glance.

It seems that this is no different from the ancient restaurant in the TV series.

Liang Xingyang said in his heart, refocusing his attention on the sign on the wall, thinking that this was the task sign of the book.

He glanced at the contents of the sign and found that the tasks on it were really varied, including those looking for bodyguards, those looking for lost buffaloes, those who transferred houses, and even those who said that the master invited by the family was too strict and asked someone to write homework on his behalf!

Liang Xingyang glanced at it cursoryly, but didn't find any useful information, so he withdrew his gaze.

Jiang Lianshan looked here and there, and was so excited that he couldn't help but pull the sleeve of the bookworm and asked, "Brother bookworm, why are the signs on the wall different colors?" But what does that mean? ”

About Wanshitang, the bookworm basically learned from other people's chat, today is also the first time he came to Wanshitang, he knows a little about the rules here, hearing Jiang Lianshan's words, he shook his head, a little embarrassed and said: "This, I don't know much either." ”

It just so happened that Xiao Er came to serve the food, and when he heard the conversation between the two, he explained very enthusiastically: "Guests, the different colors of the signs in our Wanshitang represent the level of remuneration. There are three colors in total: red, yellow, and blue. ”

"Among them, the blue card pays the least, and correspondingly, the task is very simple; A yellow card means that the remuneration is more, and it is more difficult to complete the task; As for the red card, the pay is the highest, and the task proposed must be extremely dangerous. However, our Pingling Town has always been peaceful, the people are happy, and there will generally be no red cards. Xiao Er said with a smile.

Jiang Lianshan suddenly realized, "So that's the case." ”

However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the lobby, and someone exclaimed: "Oh my God, it's a red card!" Am I right? ”

Liang Xingyang and the four of them were stunned for a moment, followed the sound and looked over, only to see the steward of Wanshitang holding a palm-sized red sign, leading a middle-aged man in silk and satin, dressed as a housekeeper, about forty or fifty years old, onto the stage, knocked on the gong, signaling everyone to be quiet.

Soon, the entire lobby fell silent, and everyone stared at the two people on the stage.

The steward turned around at this time, made a gesture of "please" to the middle-aged man with a proud expression, and said respectfully: "Steward Ming, please." ”

The middle-aged man bowed slightly, cleared his throat, took a step forward, glanced at the people in the audience, and said loudly: "Guests, heroes, today the Ming Mansion has issued a red card mission to find people, I hope that someone who knows can provide clues for the Ming Mansion, and the Ming Mansion will be rewarded!" If you can capture the opponent alive, you will be rewarded with fifty taels of gold! ”

……

A ruined temple fifty miles east of Ninghe Town.

The sunset was slightly slanting, Wuchen squatted in front of the lonely grave to weed, heard the footsteps behind him, and didn't look back: "You went to Ninghe Town again?" ”

Jia Huanchun let out a "hmm", a little embarrassed, walked to him and squatted down, and said weakly: "I ran around the city for a day, and went to find the surviving neighbors before, none of them saw my father and mother and Xiaohua, and I don't know where they went." ”

Dustless action paused, no sound.

Jia Huanchun didn't care either, and continued: "Could it be that they have a daughter-in-law, so they don't want my son?" ”

Wuchen said angrily: "If I were your father, I really wouldn't want your disobedient son, who ran around before his body was completely well." ”

"Hey, don't take advantage of me." Jia Huanchun raised his eyebrows and said poorly: "As a monk, you must always cultivate your sleeves and mouth, don't be greedy for red dust, and give birth to unrealistic fantasies, otherwise when the Buddha descends to sin, he will accidentally affect me." ”

"Huh." Wuchen chuckled, the movements of his hands did not stop, and while pulling out the newly grown weeds on the lonely grave one by one, he said: "The Buddha once said: Saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter. I have saved you with immeasurable merit, and I think the Buddha will not blame me for this small mistake. ”

As he spoke, he turned his face to look at him and commanded, "When your medicine is ready, put it on the stove and warm it, and drink it while it's hot." ”

Jia Huanchun let out an "oh" and obediently got up to drink the medicine.

Wuchen looked back at him, until he entered the ruined temple, then he retracted his gaze, looked at the lonely tomb in front of him and sighed, his eyes flashed with hesitation, and he whispered: "You say, should I tell Zhu Zhen?" ”

However, all that responded to him was a gust of fresh air.

Wuchen looked at the lonely grave in a daze, his face showed compassion, and he was speechless for a while.

However, his sad mood did not last long, and was soon broken by Jia Huanchun.

"Wow, why is today's medicine so bitter!" Jia Huanchun walked out with the medicine bowl, his face was wrinkled, and he stuck out his tongue and said, "Old monk, did you secretly add Coptis chinensis to it?" ”

Wuchen looked back at him and said calmly: "As a doctor, I have always been open-minded, so why do I need to be secret?" ”

Jia Huanchun: "......"

Well, when he didn't say.

Seeing that he was holding the medicine bowl and not moving, Wuchen urged: "Hurry up and drink it while it's hot, the effect of the medicine will be gone when it's cold." ”

In the face of Wuchen's continuous urging, Jia Huanchun couldn't, so he had to close his eyes and take a sip, and then hurriedly ran to the back of the temple to find water to rinse his mouth, and tossed for a while before removing the bitter taste in his mouth.

When he returned to the temple, Wuchen was still squatting in front of the lonely grave to weed.

Seeing this, Jia Huanchun showed a little doubt on his face, and always felt that Wuchen's attitude towards this lonely tomb was a little strange. I don't know who the owner of this lonely tomb is, but he can let the dustless moon help weed, recite the Tibetan scriptures every day, remember them all the time, and don't forget to worship during the New Year's holidays.

He walked over and squatted down beside Wuchen, helping him weed while curious, "Do you really not know the owner of this lonely tomb?" ”

Struggle flashed in Wuchen's eyes, and he said after a while: "I didn't know each other before, but now that I've been a neighbor for so long, I can barely know each other." ”

Jia Huanchun let out a meaningful "oh", obviously not believing his words.

The attitude towards this lonely grave is even better than that of the ancestral grave, and it is a liar to say that you don't know it.

Facing Jia Huanlin's suspicious eyes, Wuchen looked indifferent, looked at him calmly for a moment before looking away, looked at the sky, put down the weeds in his hand, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's time for evening class, and I'll leave the rest to you." ”

After finishing speaking, he got up and left without waiting for Jia Huanchun to refuse.

"It's only a quarter of a minute now, and it's still early before the evening class." Jia Zhuchun shouted at his back.

Wuchen's footsteps didn't stop, and he didn't look back: "Oh, it's been a busy day, I'm tired, go back and lie down for a while." ”

I didn't even pretend to be there.

"You're really lazy. This is not my family's grave, so I need to help me weed. Jia Huanchun muttered in a low voice, as soon as the words came out, his intuition was wrong, his father and mother-in-law were all safe, how could he say such unlucky bullshit, and hurriedly "Bah" twice, and said in a row: "Tong Yan Wuji, Tong Yan Wu Ji......"

……

On the official road to Ninghe Town.

Qingzhen personally drove the carriage, and several junior disciples rode their horses separately and divided into two teams, one left and one right to protect the carriage in the middle.

In the carriage, Liang Xingyang and Bai Zizhen sat side by side, Liang Xingyang stretched out his hand to pick up the curtain and glanced out, turned back to Bai Zizhen and said: "Zizhen, you can already see the gate of Ninghe Town here, we are about to enter the city." ”

Bai Zizhen's fingers trembled, and the closer he got to Ning Hezhen, the more nervous he became, and there were some indescribable feelings.

When he was in Xuantian Sect, he only wanted to return to Ninghe Town as soon as possible, but when they really set off, he was afraid to return to Ninghe Town.

He was afraid to see the mottled traces on the city wall, afraid to see the sadness on the faces of the people, and afraid to see the white mansion that had become a ruin.

You must know that Tietou Mountain is hundreds of miles away from here, and this mountain is heavy and mountainous, stretching for hundreds of miles, and there are many insects and beasts in between.
