Suizhou, Baoliao City.

It is the day of the market, and several streets in the city are bustling with people.

At the monthly gathering, there are always all kinds of small vendors, snacks and miscellaneous items.

"Come on, the hot tofu just out of the pot, come and eat my tofu!"

A middle-aged man was working hard to solicit customers at his stall, and the tofu soup with white flowers was boiling in the pot in front of him, which looked very tempting.

However, although the boss shouted loudly, his expression was a little displeased.

I saw him squinting at the two people not far from the stall, as if he had met a plague god.

One of these two people is a monk in his fifties, and the other is wrapped in a white cloth on his head, only showing two eyes, I can't see his appearance, and I can't guess his gender, but looking at the clear eyes, he must not be very old.

These two people are Monk Huiqing and Deng Fang, who have been traveling together for three days.

After three days of chasing the mountain road, the two finally arrived at this Baoliao City.

Before entering the city, in order to hide Deng Fang's identity, the monk Huiqing specially asked him to cover his face so as not to be targeted by others.

At this moment, the two of them were already hungry, looking at the white tofu on the stall, and their saliva flowed.

"Little donor, let's have something to eat at the stall first!" Monk Huiqing turned to Deng Fang and asked.

Deng Fang nodded, although the mountain fruit was sweet, it was unbearable to eat it for a few days, and he finally entered the city, and he also wanted to have a full stomach.

Monk Huiqing then asked, "Okay, then you have silver taels on you?" ”

Deng Fang was taken aback: "Huh? My silver taels have been stolen by thieves, and you have no silver on you? ”

When Huiqing heard this, he stretched his face: "You still wander the rivers and lakes without a tael of silver?" ”

"I had it, but it was stolen! Besides, aren't you a senior monk of Shaolin Temple, and you don't have any silver? Deng Fang responded complainingly.

"The old man is a monk, how can he have these earthly things on his body!"

As he spoke, Monk Huiqing tilted his mouth and turned his head to stop paying attention to Deng Fang.

Seeing that Monk Huiqing was so arrogant, Deng Fang was speechless, and touched his body for a long time, wanting to see if there were any scattered pieces of silver left, but in the end there was nothing.

In desperation, Deng Fang pulled Monk Huiqing's clothes: "Old monk, it's true that you don't have anything, why don't you go and turn your fate and see if the boss can give a little charity." ”

Monk Huiqing snorted with a smile and walked towards the stall, muttering: "Just these two times, did you dislike our monks before?" We can still turn our fate, you have hands and feet, I'm afraid that no one will give you food! ”

Although he muttered quietly, Deng Fang also heard it clearly, but it was still important for him to fill his stomach now, so he didn't bother to bother with Monk Huiqing.

Monk Huiqing was full of confidence, his steps were light, his smile was bright like a peach blossom, he walked to the stall and gave a salute with one palm: "The poor monk Shaolin Temple monk, the law name is Huiqing, I have seen the donor!" ”

As he spoke, Monk Huiqing's body also lowered slightly forward, looking very polite.

"Let's go!"

Who knew that after listening to his words, the owner of the tofu stall raised his eyebrows and raised the big spoon in his hand and began to scare Monk Huiqing and drive people up.

Monk Huiqing looked embarrassed: "This benefactor, you listen to the old man's words...... Oh, don't, listen to me! ”

The owner of the tofu stall didn't have a good face for Monk Huiqing, so he drove him away with his teeth and claws.

"Such an ordinary man dares to be rude to the old man?!"

Monk Huiqing is also a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes, and he is also an elder who is called uncle and uncle in Shaolin Temple.

Deng Fang stood aside, laughed non-stop, and ridiculed Monk Huiqing.

Monk Huiqing pushed Deng Fang impatiently: "You go, you go, pretend to be pitiful, maybe you can come back." ”

Deng Fang straightened his robe and smiled: "Look at me!" ”

As he spoke, Deng Fang bent down, coughed incessantly, beat his chest and covered his mouth and walked towards another stall.

There was a young man and a woman eating at the stall, and this man and woman were very kind and looked like good talkers.

Deng Fang slowly walked to the two of them, coughed violently a few times, and then said in an extremely weak tone: "You two, be kind, I'm really hungry." ”

As he spoke, Deng Fang also covered his mouth a little tighter with his hand, looking very pitiful.

The man and woman looked at Deng Fang, first stunned for a moment, then glanced at each other, and then looked Deng Fang up and down.

Seeing this, Deng Fang's cough intensified a little, and she kept patting her chest with her hand.

"Are you sick?"

"Tuberculosis?"

The man and woman stared at Deng Fang and opened their mouths to ask.

"Tuberculosis? No, I'm just ......" Deng Fang was shocked by the question of the two, and he was confused for a while, not knowing how to respond.

Just when Deng Fang was speechless, Deng Fang only felt that his ass was kicked hard, and he fell to the ground with a flying pounce.

"Damn, people who get tuberculosis dare to come out and go shopping!"

When Deng Fang heard this, he hurriedly turned his head to look, and it turned out that the owner of this stall heard the words of the man and the woman and kicked himself out of his stall.

The boss's voice shouted loudly, and for a while, everyone on the street gathered around, pointing at Deng Fang, shouting and scolding.

Monk Huiqing shouted when he saw this, and hurriedly squeezed into the crowd and walked towards Deng Fang.

Deng Fang listened to the scolding around her, and hurriedly got up from the ground with a bitter face, wanting to escape.

However, in a hurry, Deng Fang was a little flustered when he got up, and accidentally pulled down the white cloth he used to cover his face, revealing his face.

This time, Deng Fang was even more at a loss.

The Huiqing monk in the crowd saw Deng Fang's true face exposed, and felt bad, and with a mention of internal strength, he squeezed into the crowd, and ran out with Deng Fang in his hand.

Out of the crowd, the two of them had nowhere to go like ants on a hot pot, and the people around them avoided them as if they had seen ghosts, but the scolding was getting louder and louder.

Finally, Monk Huiqing saw an alley where he abandoned things and took Deng Fang into it.

Entering the alley, the two hid behind several broken door panels, and temporarily avoided the crowd, but they could still hear the shouting and scolding outside.

Deng Fang breathed a sigh of relief and scolded angrily: "It's really back!" ”

Monk Huiqing looked at him angrily and said, "Stinky boy, this is trouble!" We can't stay in the city anymore, so we have to get out of the city as soon as possible. ”

"Out of town? But we haven't eaten yet! ”

"You still want to eat? Do you know that the Moon Toad Palace has already exposed your portrait, and there must be many people in this city who know your appearance. ”

When Deng Fang heard this, he also realized the urgency of the situation, frowned, and nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Deng Fang asked: "Then how do you and I get out of the city now?" ”

Monk Huiqing pondered for a moment and said firmly: "Since the matter has come to this, the old man can only break the vows slightly!" ”
