Hao Bai was speechless, is this Ning Caichen stupid! He could only say: "Then I will invite you to eat this time, and when you have money in the future, please come back." ”

Ning Caichen smiled, and then arched his hand and said: "Since this is the case, it is better for Xiaosheng to be respectful than to obey his fate." ”

As he spoke, he sat down opposite Haobai and smiled at him again.

Seeing Ning Caichen's appearance, Haobai couldn't help but smile: "You scholar, it's also interesting, you came from so far to collect the account, aren't you afraid that there will be some demons and monsters, robbers and bandits on the way, and you will take your little life!"

When Ning Caichen heard this, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Brother Tai is joking, Xiaosheng is just a poor scholar, and there is a pile of rags in the bookbox, so someone will come to rob me!"

After a pause, he continued: "As for the demons and monsters, Zi Bu is silent and the monster is confused, and he is a scholar, but he has never believed in these ghosts and gods. ”

"Oh, yes!" Haobai smiled, not saying more.

"By the way, I haven't asked Your Excellency for your name yet," Ning Caichen said curiously.

Hao Bai smiled and said, "Under the surname Hao, a single name is a white character." ”

Ning Caichen bowed his hand to Hao Bai again and said, "It turned out to be Brother Hao." ”

After eating, Ning Caichen summoned Xiao Er and asked, "Little Second Brother, do you know any places around here that can be lived by people without spending money!"

"Yes," Xiao Er smiled playfully, there was an indescribable weirdness in his eyes, and said with a smile: "If you don't want to spend money, then you can go to Lanruo Temple outside the city!"

Haobai glared at the little second and said, "What Lanruo Temple to go to, Xiao Er, you arrange a room for him, eat and drink well, and count it on my account." ”

"No!" As soon as Haobai's voice fell, Ning Caichen directly refused, and then he said: "As the so-called no merit is not punished, Xiaosheng and Brother Hao have just met, how can they pay for me like this, and even if I want to stay, I have no shame to stay in this inn." ”

Ning Caichen didn't want to live in this inn, naturally because he didn't receive the bill, and he lost face.

Haobai frowned, he understood that people like Ning Caichen were stupid to die to save face.

After thinking about it, Haobai took out a few taels of silver, handed it to Ning Caichen, and said: "Since this is the case, then even if I lend you these silver pairs, you can return them to me when you have money in the future, hurry up and find an inn to live in." ”

Ning Caichen accepted the silver, arched his hand, and thanked Haobai: "In this way, thank you Brother Hao, then I will leave." ”

After speaking, Ning Caichen left directly, Haobai looked funny, this is a typical ancient scholar, similar to Liu Jinyuan before, but Liu Jinyuan's family has money.

......

Haobai went out of Guobei County, and soon, it rained heavily, and the momentum of this rain was very strong, and the water on the ground was already higher than the surface of his feet, and some low-lying places were even knee-deep.

Hao Bai was dressed in white, under the agitation of true qi, his clothes fluttered, he tread water, whether it was the rain in the sky or the water on the ground, it was not at all, it was really like a land fairy, so chic.

After walking for a short time, I saw a scholar with a bookcase under a gazebo in front of me taking shelter from the rain.

Looking at that familiar face, it was Ning Caichen, who had just met in the hotel, and he didn't expect to meet him again so soon.

Ning Caichen in the pavilion had already noticed Haobai's arrival at this time, and hurriedly greeted: "Brother Tai, come here, you can shelter from the rain here!"

Haobai walked into the pavilion in a few steps and said to Ning Caichen: "Brother Ning, didn't I lend you money to let you stay in the inn, why did you still leave the county seat." ”

Ning Caichen found out that this was Haobai, he was a little embarrassed to face Haobai, after all, Haobai lent him money and asked him to go to the guest house, but he still wanted to go to Lanruo Temple to live for free.

He twisted his head and said: "Brother Hao, although you borrowed money from Zaixia, I don't know when I can pay it back, or if I can save it, I can just find a place to spend the night." ”

Haobai shook his head, very speechless in his heart, this Ning Caichen is really the best.

Cuckoo~~

Haobai glanced at Ning Caichen, and Ning Caichen said embarrassedly: "Xiaosheng is hungry, eat something first!." ”

Hao Bai rolled his eyes, this Ning Caichen was really hungry, he invited him to eat not long ago, and now he is hungry again!

Ning Caichen turned around and went through his bookcase and took out a bamboo tube from it, but after opening it, only a few drops of water poured out of it.

took out two more steamed buns, and handed one to Haobai very enthusiastically: "Brother Hao, you didn't bring dry food, eat a steamed bun." ”

Haobai glanced at him and said unhappily: "Ning Caichen, when did you buy this steamed bun!"

When, Ning Caichen thought for a while: "It seems to be the day before yesterday." ”

Haobai said helplessly: "Then do you think you can still eat it! Forget it, let's eat this." ”

Haobai stretched out his hand and waved on the stone table, a few exquisite side dishes and a pot of tea appeared, Ning Caichen's eyes suddenly widened, and he came up to turn Haobai's sleeves.

Haobai shook his hand and said impatiently: "What are you doing! Hurry up and eat, you will go back to Guobei County after eating!"

Ning Caichen nodded, hurriedly took a bite of the dish, felt very delicious, and immediately ate it quickly.

Soon Ning Caichen was full, and at this time the rain stopped, and Haobai urged: "Since you have finished eating, then hurry back to Guobei County, I will give you the silver to let you have money to stay." ”

Ning Caichen was a little embarrassed, and saw that Haobai was a little unhappy, and said again and again: "Okay! Okay! I'll go back now!"

Ning Caichen left immediately after speaking, as if he was afraid that Haobai would ask him back for the money.

Seeing that Ning Caichen was gone, Haobai also continued to move forward, this was on a mountain, and with his eyesight, he could vaguely see that there was a temple-like building on the mountain.

Lanruo Temple!

Haobai was in front of the temple, looking at the somewhat dilapidated temple gate in front of him, and there was a plaque with years of age.

It is written with three big characters of "Lanruo Temple", Haobai raised his feet and walked to Lanruo Temple, although Lanruo Temple has been dilapidated, the area is very vast, there are many dilapidated buildings, as well as Buddha statues.

It is not difficult to see how prosperous this temple was in the past, and for some reason, it has fallen into such a state.

Haobai speculated that it was estimated to be related to the tree demon grandmother behind the temple, which was a thousand-year-old demon, and the monks in the Lanruo Temple were probably all the food in the belly of the tree demon.

At this time, it was already dusk, the sun had set, but the whole temple seemed to be extremely silent, Haobai walked in it, and there was a gloomy feeling in his heart.

Soon, Haobai walked to the main hall of Lanruo Temple, the main hall was dusty, cobwebs were vertical and horizontal, the Buddha statue had long been incomplete, and the murals were blurred.

The large hall is home to many Buddha statues, which are dilapidated but can be seen in their respective forms.

Or gnashing teeth, or hideous, or glaring, on the contrary, or smiling, or folded hands, with a kind face.
