More than half an hour later, the little monkey took the sister and brother to a ruined temple.

This temple is located on the hillside, dilapidated, but, in the white stone incense burner, there are clusters of incense sticks left and right, which is enough to prove that the temple has not cut off the incense.

Walking into the broken temple, Shen Jiumei quickly swept around, didn't see anyone else, and asked curiously: "You live alone in the temple?" She had been to the City God Temple in the town. The temple is also broken, and it is not as big as this one, but it has a temple.

"Think beautifully. The little monkey made a gesture at the statue of the city god on the right seat, and hummed, "In broad daylight, if everyone goes out to look for food, do you want to starve to death here? When the sun is about to set, they will come back." After dark, it was full of people, and there was not even a place to plug in. ”

Hearing this, the two sisters and brothers' scalps were numb.

"Don't be afraid. My little monkey has lived in this temple for more than ten years, and he is also a well-known old man here. The little monkey smiled and said, "With me, I will let you two sisters and brothers live comfortably tonight." On the way here, he had already found out the origin and identity of the sister and brother. Of course, after so many things, Shen Jiumei is not a vegetarian. She was talking about the set of rhetoric she had made up with Shen Qiubao.

"Thank you. Shen Jiumei said stubbornly.

The little monkey waved his hand, and was about to say something about the rules of the temple. At that moment, his stomach rumbled.

"Uh......" he sneered and scratched his head, "I was talking to you two and I was looking for food by mistake." From the time he opened his eyes in the morning to the present, he did not eat a drop of rice, and drank only a few sips of water.

Shen Jiumei glanced at Shen Qiubao.

The latter understood, took out a wild vegetable cake from his arms, and generously sent it: "Brother Little Monkey, give it to you." ”

The little monkey was clearly hungry. He took the wild vegetable cake, held it in both hands, and devoured it.

Three times five to two, the wild vegetable cake that is not much smaller than Qiu Bao's slap is gone.

He licked his fingers unsatisfactorily: "Anything else?"

Shen Qiubao shook his head: "There are two more, those are my and Ninth Sister's rations today." ”

The little monkey looked at Shen Jiumei with longing eyes.

Unfortunately, the latter did not indicate at all.

"It's stingy. I'll take you to live in the temple......" the little monkey muttered dissatisfied. He was really hungry. With such a big wild vegetable cake, he had absolutely no problem eating five of them in one go. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat the stinky girl, he would have robbed it a long time ago.

Shen Jiumei turned a blind eye, looked around the temple again, and asked lightly, "Where do I sleep with Yunwa tonight?" The temple was empty, except for a slippery old bluestone long case, and the clay statues of the city god, the judge, and the two little ghosts, there was nothing else. It seems that everyone is sleeping directly on the ground.

The little monkey took his eyes off Shen Qiubao's arms, touched his nose and smiled, "I forgot to tell you." There are also rules in the temple. ”

The first rule in the temple is: don't live in vain.

To spend the night in the temple, each person has to pay two big money to the temple lord every night.

"If you don't have any cash, when the others come back, I can help you pull the string and exchange it with someone who has cash. The little monkey said with a righteous face, "We are all friends." I'm not going to take your money today. ”

In other words, after tomorrow, if the two of them still want him to be the middle man to pull the line, they will have to collect the money.

Shen Jiumei was very surprised - in Niutouao Village, although everyone is not well-off, but the neighbors talk to each other and help out, but they are not paid. If you ask for money and benefits like this, except for the three lepers who have no face and no skin, everyone else is embarrassed to open their mouths.

But the little monkey still feels very righteous to himself.

Shen Jiumei didn't think about it: "We don't have any money." ”

Suddenly there was a great change, and she was in an unfamiliar place, she had always been on high alert, and she never really believed in the little monkey from the beginning. On the way here, she had already taken a look at the place where she would stay—if the place where the little monkey was taking it was not good, then she and Qiu Bao would go to the small woods under the hillside for a casual night. All these days, they have all lived in the wilderness, and this night is not missing!

Wow, you don't have money and you're so arrogant! The little monkey raised his eyebrows: "Lord Miaogong never gives credit." Even if I try my best to say good things to the two of you, at most, I can only get Master Miaogong to waive Qiu Bao's money. ”

"No need. Shen Jiumei was not ambiguous, took Shen Qiubao's hand, turned around and walked out.

The little monkey was slightly stunned, and hurriedly shouted, "Hey, where are you going?"

Shen Jiumei stopped, turned around and said, "Let's go to that small miscellaneous forest below and deal with it casually for one night." You'll wait for us by the woods tomorrow morning, okay?" Instinctively, she didn't like the little monkeys. However, when you go to the Qingyun Martial Arts Hall, you have to bother this guy to lead the way.

"That's not going to work!" the little monkey hurried up and reached out to stop them both.

"Why?" Shen Jiumei was puzzled.

"Naturally, it's the rules of the Immortal Mansion. The little monkey rolled his eyes, "If you can live in the forest, who will spend two big dollars to live in the temple? Living in the woods is the same as sleeping on the streets, and they are all subject to curfew, and they are to be caught and do hard labor for the rest of their lives. ”

"What kind of rule is this!" Shen Qiubao was indignant.

The little monkey smiled helplessly: "I'm going out to find money." Why don't you come with me?"

"How do you find money?" Shen Jiumei asked curiously.

Naturally, the little monkey will not tell the truth. With a roll of his eyes, he said indiscriminately, "Your package is full of clothes, right? I know a pawnshop is willing to accept coarse cloth clothes." The price is also fair. Coarse cloth clothes are not worth much, though. I don't know if your clothes can be exchanged for two big bucks. ”

There are pawnshops in town, too. Although Shen Jiumei has never been there, her father told her when she passed by the pawnshop in the market. So, she knew what a pawnshop does.

"We didn't bring coarse cloth clothes!" Shen Qiubao jumped to his feet angrily, "It's all good clothes made of muslin." ”

Shen Jiumei wanted to stop him, but it was too late, so she had to give up.

The little monkey hehe: "When I arrived at the pawnshop, it was a new dress made of silk and satin, and it was also a tattered old coarse cloth clothes." I've seen anyone do it with my own eyes. ”

"It's too bullying. Shen Qiubao stomped his feet angrily, "Ninth sister, let's not go to the pawnshop!"

"Then how do you want to find money?" the little monkey pulled the subject back again, "declare in advance, I have to go out to find money myself, and I have no money to lend you." ”

"I can collect firewood to sell, and I can hunt. Seeing that it was still early, Shen Jiumei said.

"Hehe, you're very capable. The little monkey smirked and held out a dirty black hand at her, "Bring it!"

"What?" Without waiting for Shen Jiumei to speak, Shen Qiubao puffed out his cheeks and spoke first.

"Baojo. You also have to have a guarantee when you sell something!"

The siblings were dumbfounded. Damn Shixiu County, don't let people live!

"Ninth sister, do you want to keep a good article in the town?" Shen Qiubao felt that the little monkey was definitely bluffing.

"I've never seen my dad give me a guarantee. Shen Jiumei was truthful.

"Don't believe it!" the little monkey snorted from his nose, "Shixiu County is not your town!"

Shen Qiubao is out of words—yes. There is no city gate in the town, and there is no poor man in the town to collect the city gate tax.

Seeing this, the little monkey sighed softly: "I'm really afraid of you." Gotcha, my little monkey is a good guy to the end. Why don't I take you to the market and let you see with your own eyes if you want to keep the strip?" paused, "Anyway, if you want to go to the Qingyun Martial Arts Pavilion, you also have to go to the pawnshop in the market to exchange money to buy dry food." ”

"Let me think again. Shen Jiumei grabbed two small packages and said. Her instincts told her that the little monkey could not be trusted. Maybe she should have asked a few more people.

"Then you have to hurry. The little monkey smiled, "Miaogong, when the sun is in the west, will come to collect money. If he can't pay the money then, he will directly use a big stick to drive people away. ”
