The wheels are round.

A woman in a pale green dress happens to be pushing a wheelbarrow and crossing the bridge to get home.

The hair is casually pulled into a loose bun, and a wooden hairpin is inserted diagonally, which looks a little casual, but elegant.

The arc of this stone bridge is a little large, and the bridge deck paved with stone is not very smooth, so the woman pushes quite hard.

Eventually, the wheel got stuck in front of a stone, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move.

Suddenly, a hand reached out next to him and leaned on the wheelbarrow.

The woman felt that the car was light, crossed the rock, went up to the top of the bridge, and crossed the most strenuous section, followed by a downhill climb, which was much easier.

She took a slight breath, and looked up to see a young man in white clothes standing beside him, holding a book in one hand, a package on his back, and a wine gourd.

The other hand is on the wheelbarrow.

Just now, it was this young man who helped her push the car up.

"Thank you, sir." The woman's forehead was sweaty, and she bowed her head to say thank you, some did not dare to look directly at the young man, and the shyness of a moment was like a breeze blowing, and the lotus flower bowed her head.

"You're welcome."

Chen Wang smiled slightly.

This is the little woman who lives at his door.

At this time, she wore an apron around her waist, and on the wheelbarrow was a wooden barrel, and a small stove, which was covered by charcoal, and a pot of soup, which was steaming.

While the little woman is pushing the cart, she has to protect the soup pot from spilling, which is really not easy.

"You're going to sell soup cakes? I've just come back from Fang City, but unfortunately I didn't see you, otherwise, I can try your craft. ”

"Sir misunderstood, I did sell soup cakes, but I wasn't in the market."

"Oh? Fang Market has the most people, and after the people who visit Fang Market are tired, they almost have to eat something, and business will definitely be very good, why don't you go to Fang Market? ”

"I've been selling soup cakes for a few months. I have also been to Fang City in the past, but the good location has long been occupied. I didn't have a good location, and I had to pay a high city fee.

Soup cakes are sold everywhere, and the taste I make is not unique, and if I don't occupy a good position, I can't sell much money a day, and I pay the market fee, which is not enough for me to eat and drink. Later, I didn't go.

Let's turn out of the alley, there is a good location at the intersection, I can sell some every day.

Because it's not a fang market, it's not easy for the official to pity me as a woman, and the city money is just collected casually. I can barely make ends meet. ”

Chen Wang looked at the little woman, with patches on her cloth skirt, and her apron was even more patched, and her face was also covered with vegetables, obviously her life was very tight.

"I see. I went shopping for a day, I was a little tired, hungry, I didn't want to cook by myself, I didn't know if it was convenient for you, and I helped me make a bowl of soup cakes when I went back. Delivered to your home across the street from you? Chen Wang's tone was very gentle, as if he was talking about a very normal business.

The woman was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting to receive a business order at this time, and after reacting, she hurriedly agreed.

Chen Wangluo arched his hand, held a book in his hand, and left with unhurried steps.

When I got home, it was just tea time when the woman knocked on the door, holding a tray with a bowl of soup cakes in both hands.

"Wait a minute."

Chen Wang took the tray and turned to enter the door.

"Sir, don't worry, you eat slowly, call when you're done, and I'll get the bowl and tray again." The woman stood in the doorway and said.

"It's so good and too tired."

Chen Wang poured the soup cakes into his own bowl, put a few copper coins that had been prepared a long time ago on the tray, and returned them to the woman along with the bowl and tray.

He had seen the price on the wheelbarrow before, and a wooden board was engraved with six dollars per bowl.

"Sir is too polite. Everyone is a neighbor, just now Mr. helped me push the cart, just a bowl of soup cakes, how can I collect Mr.'s money? ”

"How can that be. I'm lazy by nature, I'm often too lazy to cook, and I will inevitably eat your soup cakes in the future, if you don't charge money, how can I speak again? ”

Chen Wang said this, and the woman couldn't shirk it anymore, so she accepted the money, thanked her and left.

This soup cake is actually a bowl of hot noodle soup, the sliced noodles are boiled in water, and the wild onion and ginger are added, which makes it fragrant.

Chen Wang tasted it and was very satisfied.

The little woman's craftsmanship is very good, the reason why the business is not very good, may indeed be as she said, there are too many soup cakes sold in the city, and everyone can do them, there is really no specialty.

I ate a bowl of hot food, sweated all over, and only felt comfortable all over my body.

After Chen Wang rested for a while, he took a shower, lit a lamp, sat on the edge of the bed, and read the book "Zhi Wei" that he bought during the day.

Within a few pages, someone came to visit.

At the head was an old man in Xuanyi, followed by two boys.

"Come to think of it, this is Mr. Chen Wangchen? Li Zhongyan, the sacrificial wine of the old Yuyang Taoist Academy, came to visit at dawn and disturbed. The old man in Xuanyi arched his hand towards Chen Wang.

"It turned out to be Li sacrificial wine. I don't know what happened to Li Saijiu's visit? ”

Chen Wang was not surprised.

There were rumors on the street before, saying that the house was haunted, and the Dongming Temple and the Taoist Institute were helpless, and finally it was solved by Chen Wang, could it be that Chen Wang was more powerful than the Dongming Temple and the Taoist Temple......

When he heard this rumor, he knew that the people from Dongming Temple and Taoist Academy would come to his door sooner or later.

"Nothing else. I just heard that Mr. is good at magic and is good at catching ghosts, so I want to sit down with Mr. and talk about the law and ask Mr. for advice on how to catch ghosts. Li Zhongyan was straightforward and clear-cut.

"Oh?"

Chen Wang's gaze swept over the two boys, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Li Xianjiu's mana is indeed strong, but this is not so much to sit and talk about the Fa and ask for advice on how to catch ghosts, but to test my level, right? And, from the moment you appear before me, the temptation has begun.

I treated Li Saijiu with courtesy, but Li Saijiu didn't make an appointment to fight, so he secretly made a move, which is a bit rude, right?

Since Li Saijiu is rude and doesn't treat me as a friend, then there is no need for me to treat Li Saijiu as a friend.

I'm sorry, but I still have some important things to do today, and I can't entertain Mr. Samurai. ”

Li Zhongyan's old face was red, and his face was hot.

The purpose of his coming here is indeed to test Chen Wang's level.

He thought that his attainments were quite high, and he was quite unconvinced by the rumors from the outside world that Chen Wang was better than their Taoist methods.

First of all, he didn't believe that the haunted things that the Taoist Academy and Dongming Temple couldn't solve, and a teenager who appeared out of nowhere could solve them.

Secondly, even if Chen Wang can solve this ghost, it can't prove that his ability is greater than them.

The ghost thing is already absurd and magnificent, maybe they just didn't get the way, and Chen Wang happened to bump into the side door and asked the ghost away...... Li Zhongyan believes that this possibility is even greater.

Therefore, he brought two little ghosts that he raised, that is, the two boys who followed behind him, to test Chen Wang.

Unexpectedly, Chen Wang saw through the identities of these two boys at a glance.
