Chapter 165: Paying Debts for Others
"Forehead ......"
This reason for staying made Fang Yuan a little unexpected, and sure enough, the way of thinking of the master was not the same as that of normal people.
However, it can be seen that Chen Yuhang is not a bad guy with no bottom line. He was already charged with the slaughter of mortals, and since this is already the case, what does it matter if he kills a few more?
It is not difficult to see from the tone of the kitchen just now and the way he responded, that this little old man who is prone to mountains and seas seems to be being bullied here.
"How much do you owe, and how many days do you have to work to settle it?"
Chen Yuhang scratched the back of his head and thought for a while, and then said: "I can't remember, in short, I ate two catties of braised beef from the store and drank a pot of old wine from my family." After I had enough to eat, I remembered that I was penniless, and to put it mildly...... I'm so ashamed!"
Looking at Chen Yuhang's self-deprecating smile, he didn't know why, Fang Yuan actually felt a little distressed. Even if he was a cultivator, he was an old man of more than two hundred years old after all. used to be the head of one party, and it can be regarded as brilliant for half a lifetime, but in the end, he was stumped by the money for a meal.
No matter what kind of person has been eroded into by this world, as long as we have not completely lost ourselves, in fact, there will always be a touch of kindness hidden deep in our hearts.
But what is good?
Fang Yuan couldn't help but think of a sentence said by a great sage in ancient Huaxia: the old and the old, and the old, the young, and the young. Now that I think about it, that's probably what goodness looks like, right?
So Fang Yuan called the owner of the restaurant and asked, "Boss, how much does this old man owe you for food, and we plan to settle the account for him." ”
The boss thought that the guest was going to add vegetables, but as soon as he heard Fang Yuan's words, he immediately showed a scathing and mean businessman's face.
"Little brother, I see that this old man and you are not related, what are you doing with this stall? If you can't manage it, if something goes wrong or something, can you afford that responsibility?"
Although his face was sour, what this boss said was the truth for Fang Yuan's sake.
If it was an old man like the one he had met on the bus in Donggang before, Fang Yuan would naturally not have much to do. But Chen Yuhang was different, although this was only the second time they had met, Fang Yuan felt in his heart that this old man was definitely a respectable senior.
Hearing that Fang Yuan was going to repay his debts, Chen Yuhang hurriedly waved his hand anxiously, and whispered in Fang Yuan's ear: "Don't bother Xiaoyou, I'm already living a life, and in two days it should be the day when the water and soil on the mountain come down to purchase, and then they will pay off for the old decay." ”
Yes, this old man used to be the head of the Water and Soil Temple, and the Caotou Mountain where the Water and Soil View is located seems to be near this location, and Fang Yuan seems to have really seen it on the driving map of the gas station just now.
So he said puzzledly: "In that case, why didn't you let people know about the water and soil view before?"
Chen Yuhang shook his hand again and said, "The old man is a sinner, and after informing the children, they must come to see me, and once the Lu Shui Chamber of Commerce blames them, it will be unfavorable to them." If you just pass by unintentionally, others won't be able to say anything. ”
The old man's words made Fang Yuan's heart suddenly feel sour. The masters of cultivating truth on one side have all been reduced to the field of miscellaneous work, and what they are thinking about is the gains and losses of others. With such quality, how can people not be respected?
Fang Yuan said to the boss again: "How much is it in total? We'll pay it off for him now." ”
Seeing that Fang Yuan's expression was so resolute, the boss didn't say anything more, silently calculated in his heart, and said, "It's a total of one hundred and thirty-four yuan, and I'll wipe it for four yuan, you just give one hundred and thirteen." ”
"Huh, isn't it?"
Fang Yuan said suspiciously: "Two catties of braised beef plus a pot of aged wine, isn't it a total of one hundred and thirty-four yuan?
The boss said with a disdainful face: "You also said that it has been so many days, has he not eaten or drunk for so many days? This old man likes to eat that braised beef, and he has to eat more than three catties these days, isn't this money?"
Fang Yuan really felt unhappy in his heart, not because of the mere hundred yuan, but because he felt that this boss's heart was dark, and he even had to rub some oil and water from an old man.
He was about to exit and continue to open, but after thinking about it, he thought it was better to forget it. There is no need to continue to have any disputes with this kind of person, and in the end, he was angry that he had fallen below his value, and let Mo Fanchen and others see the jokes.
"Okay, okay, I'll just give it!
The boss is not a person who can make inches of money, and when he heard this, he no longer grinded, but directly spread his hand at Fang Yuan and asked for money.
Only then did Fang Yuan realize that he had no money on him now, and his money was taken away by Yaoyao and Xiaobai at that time. So as a last resort, he put his hand in front of his forehead and quietly glanced at Zhang Zhiyi.
However, Fang Yuan's small movements were a little too obvious, and they instantly attracted onlookers from Mo Fanchen and Lao Meng. Embarrassed, he immediately coughed softly a few times, in a vain attempt to cover up his weak heart.
Fortunately, Zhang Zhiyi immediately understood what he meant, so he indifferently took out his wallet from a small bag beside him, took out ten hundred-yuan bills from it and handed them to the boss.
"With this meal of ours, it should be enough. The extra is your service tip, no need to look for it. ”
The boss immediately took over a stack of banknotes in Zhang Zhiyi's hand, his mouth couldn't close when he smiled, he nodded and retreated, and when he left, he didn't forget to say "You can tell me at any time if you have something."
Seeing this, Lao Meng only glanced at Fang Yuan slightly, and began to eat quietly with his head down. However, Mo Fanchen sneered lightly, and said slightly pointedly: "If you don't have the ability, don't mess around, let others wipe your ass after you finish the work, don't be ashamed?"
Fortunately, Fang Yuan's cheek had already been practiced, as if he hadn't heard it at all, and smiled and invited Chen Yuhang to sit down and eat with them.
After being full of wine and food, Mo Fanchen thought about it for a long time, and decided to ask Chen Yuhang: "After eating, where are you going next?"
His question really startled Fang Yuan, where do people like to go, you can't catch him, why are you asking so much?
Chen Yuhang smiled and said, "Xiaoyou, is this going to notify the people of the Chamber of Commerce in advance to come over and arrest the old man?"
Mo Fanchen's eyes stared at Chen Yuhang and said, "You are a wanted criminal, since you have been met by me, I have no reason to know and not report it." ”
Fang Yuan was really moved by his spirit of admitting death, and he was so moved that he couldn't wait to stuff this guy into the toilet and drown him alive with urine!
It was a harmonious scene, but you said you had to do all this useless thing, and if you did, they wouldn't even have a chance to run.
"Senior...... Forehead...... Actually, he meant ......"
Chen Yuhang raised his hand slightly to interrupt Fang Yuan, and whispered to Mo Fanchen: "The old man understands, the old man understands." It is a blessing for the country that I have such an afterlife in the land of Huaxia. Now, the old decay will not be hidden from you. ”
He sighed and whispered to everyone: "The old man absconded this time, but in fact, it was for a deathbed request from his fellow disciples, and he had to go to the sea near Weihai. After it is completed, the old man should go back to the Fa and never let the little friends be embarrassed. ”
"Wei Hai?"
Mo Fanchen said: "It just so happens that we are also going to Weihai, since this is the case, let's go together." That way I don't have to report up, what do you think?"
"No way!"
Before Chen Yuhang could speak, Fang Yuan jumped out first to object.
"We don't want to delay such an important event as the fulfillment of the last wish of our seniors for our junior brother, and don't we still have our own things to do? ”
"What's inconvenient? Say it's inconvenient, could it be that you have a ghost in your heart?"
Fang Yuan really couldn't stand this big brother anymore, so he broke his mouth and said: "I have your sister's ghost, you're not fucking finished, aren't you?
Mo Fanchen naturally didn't give in, stepped forward and grabbed Fang Yuan's collar, and shouted in a low voice: "You are a wanted criminal, what qualifications do you have to tell me what to do and what not to do?"
"Enough!"
Just as Fang Yuan and Mo Fanchen were about to compete, Zhang Zhiyi suddenly shouted: "You two sit down for me! What are you doing, how old are you, what do you have to do if you don't agree with each other?"
Seeing the angry look on Zhang Zhiyi's face, Fang Yuan and Mo Fanchen rarely stopped their further movements together in a very tacit understanding, and both obediently sat back in their places. Although the two of them are still unhappy when you look at me, and I don't feel angry when you see you, Zhang Zhiyi is honest with a glance.
In the end, under Zhang Zhiyi's communication and coordination, everyone, including Chen Yuhang himself, agreed to the plan to go to Weihai together. Although Fang Yuan was unhappy in his heart, he still knew how to endure when he should have forbearance.
However, Chen Yuhang wanted to go to Caotou Mountain to have a look before leaving, but Lao Meng didn't know how to go to Caotou Mountain, and the changes here have changed too much after the reconstruction, and Chen Yuhang himself couldn't find the previous road at all.
So Fang Yuan said to the boss a little helplessly: "Boss, do you know how to walk Caotou Mountain? It should be a hill near here." ”
"Grass Head Mountain?"
When he heard Fang Yuan say this name, the boss seemed to be very surprised.
"What are you doing there? There's no road for cars up there, and it's hard to find a path for people to walk. ”
Fang Yuan patted Chen Yuhang lightly and said, "This old man said that there is a view of water and soil on it, and there was his old man before, and he wants to go up and have a look." Please give the boss some directions, and when we get to the foot of the mountain, we will find a way to go up by ourselves. ”
The boss glanced at Chen Yuhang with some surprise, and muttered: "Water and soil view? Isn't that Taoist temple already yellow? Why are there still old people there?"
Fang Yuan and the others didn't pay attention to his whispering, but Lao Meng took out a brief map and handed it over. The boss looked at the map and looked for a while before marking a spot on it. With this marker, Lao Meng can find the general location of Caotou Mountain.
But just when everyone was ready to leave the hotel, the boss suddenly rushed out and stopped Chen Yuhang.
