Chapter 17 Planting Pears
After everyone walked away, Xu Yang walked out of the shadows and took a deep look at the distance before muttering to himself
"Hey! This physical strength is too weak, and it's also troublesome! I almost let the leading official find out, that person should be almost congenital, right? Thanks to my strong soul and distant consciousness, if I am not discovered by a mortal, if it spreads, I will lose a lot... Obviously, this village chief's father and son are finished, don't say that you have something to do in this society, even if you enter the prison if you have nothing to do, you will be pulled out of the skin, so Xu Yang is not worried about the fate of this village chief!"
Just as Xu Yang was about to leave, he thought again, "No, although this village chief has been killed, but the people behind it haven't believed it yet?"
The next morning, Yangxin County Market. Xu Yang was strolling from the city gate! I found that the front was very lively, and there was a faint sound of crying... So Xu Yang walked forward to watch, and found that there was a countryman crying, and there was a circle of people around him who were pointing, and from the surrounding population, Xu Yang knew that this was the case:
It turned out that this countryman was selling pears at the market. The taste of pears is very sweet, but the price is very expensive. At this time, there was a Taoist priest, wearing a broken Taoist hat and a tattered Taoist robe, reaching out in front of the car to beg for the countrymen. The countrymen scolded him, and he didn't leave. The rednecks got angry and shouted insults. The Taoist priest said, "You have hundreds of pears in this cart, and the poor Taoist only asks for you, which is not a big loss for you, so why do you have such a big temper?" The people who watched also persuaded the countryman to take a bad pear to the old Taoist priest and send him away, but the countryman resolutely refused. A fellow in the shop on the side of the road, seeing that they were arguing, took out the money to buy a pear and gave it to the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest thanked him, and then said to the crowd, "The monks don't know how to be stingy. I have good pears, please taste them. Someone asked, "Since you have a pear, why don't you eat your own?" and the Taoist priest said, "I need this pear pit for seeds." So he took the pear in his hand and ate it in a big gulp.
After eating the pear, the Taoist priest put the core in his hand, took off the small shovel on his shoulder, dug a hole a few inches deep in the ground, and then put in the pear core, covered it with soil, and asked the person next to him for hot water to irrigate. A person with good deeds went to a roadside shop and brought a pot of boiling water, and the Taoist priest took the boiling water and poured it into the pit. Everyone stared and watched, and saw a young bud emerge, and gradually grow, and in a moment it grew into a great tree with lush leaves, and in a moment it blossomed and bore fruit, and the large, fragrant pears hung all over the branches. The Taoist priest plucked the pears from the tree and gave them to the onlookers to eat, and after a while, they were all eaten. Then, the Taoist priest used a shovel to cut down the tree, and it took a long time to cut it down. The Taoist priest carried the pear tree full of branches and leaves on his shoulders and walked away in a hurry.
At the beginning, when the Taoist priest was doing tricks, the countryman was also mixed in the crowd, stretching his neck and staring, forgetting his own livelihood. After the Taoist priest left, he came back to take care of the pears in his car, but there were no more. Only then did he suddenly realize that the pears that the Taoist priest had just divided were all his, and when he looked closely, he saw that one of the handlebars was gone, and the ballast was newly cut. The countryman was very angry and helpless and frightened, and hurried to chase the Taoist priest. Turning a corner, I saw the broken handlebar thrown under the corner, and then I realized that the pear tree that the Taoist priest had just cut was his handlebar, but the Taoist priest had disappeared. This can make the countrymen anxious, I don't know what to do The countrymen cried, others may only know that the pears are too expensive, but he has to sell them so expensive, because his family's annual food money is counting on this pear, so he doesn't want to give it to others in vain, now it's good, a cart of pears is gone...
After Xu Yang heard this, he was full of emotion, there was dissatisfaction with the Taoist priest, in order to have a little appetite, he punished the countrymen like this, and there were also those who were dissatisfied with the villagers, you said that you would sell a pear and sell it well, why did you insult that Taoist... However, Xu Yang still couldn't see others crying, just like his brother did at that time, and it seems that he hasn't gone home for half a year, right?
It has been nearly a thousand years since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, although rising prices and inflation have always existed, but one tael of silver can buy five quintals of rice, and five taels of silver is enough for a family to live steadily for a year and a half! So when they saw that the countrymen of five taels of silver were busy thanking Xu Yang loudly, and knelt down and kowtowed, and when they wanted to invite Xu Yang home for a meal, they found that Xu Yang was gone.
It turned out that Xu Yang had discovered the sloppy Taoist priest, so he hurriedly chased after him, and when he got to him, he found that there was a sloppy Taoist priest, an old lady, and a few girls! The old woman had high cheekbones, white temples, and a dull face, and she looked very bad recently. But judging from the number of clothes and girls, it should be a rich family! At this time, Xu Yang had already walked closer, and he was still thinking about questioning the Taoist priest's words, but he didn't say it!
The old lady looked at Xu Yang, and then said to the Taoist priest, "Daoist, I also told you some of the situation in my family just now, you may help me solve it?"
The Taoist priest's originally hippie face became serious, "Originally, I didn't want to take care of this matter, but for the sake of your young master is county order, even for the sake of the people in this city, I should take care of this time!"
Xu Yang was confused when he heard this, and he didn't know what was going on, but out of kindness, he still said to the old woman, "This lady, I don't know what's wrong with the county commander?
The old woman glanced at Xu Yang solemnly again, shook her head and said, "I think the little brother also saw the Dao Chief's spell just now, right? My family hasn't been peaceful lately, and I need the Dao Chief's spell to help, little brother, I appreciate your kindness, but forget about it."
After Xu Yang heard this, he looked at the sloppy Taoist priest again, and after a closer look, this Taoist priest also has the strength of the exorcism period, and ordinary monsters should not be able to defeat them. Then he thought, "With this Taoist priest here, it seems that you don't need my help, right?" Forget it, for the sake of this Taoist priest who still knows how to help people, don't trouble him!"
So Xu Yang said goodbye to the old woman.
At night, Xu Yang was sleeping in an inn, and suddenly heard someone calling him! It was very strange, so he came outside in a trance, and there was a talent outside the inn at this time. Xiucai was wearing a high crown and green clothes, and he looked very burly, and when he saw Xu Yang, he said, "This is an immortal official with a priesthood?"
Xu Yang looked at this Xiucai, who was obviously also out of his body, and said, "That's right, I'm the new superintendent of the underworld."
"It's Lord Inspector Shi, that's great! I want to make a deal with the adult, I'll give the adult a merit, and the adult will do me a small favor, okay?"
As soon as Xu Yang heard that there was merit or great merit, he asked, "You didn't lie to me, how do you know that there is great merit?"
"Don't dare to lie to adults, I do know that there is a great merit! I want to give it to adults, but adults do me a small favor" This Xiucai saw that Xu Yang was tempted, and quickly explained.
"You should know what happened to you, tell me, what can I do for you?" Xu Yang asked after he was sure.
"My lord should have met an old woman and a sloppy Taoist priest today, that old woman's family has a female ghost who is very powerful, and that Taoist priest is in league with female ghosts!, so I want your adult to help me get rid of them" Xiucai hurriedly said the content of the transaction.
"What? Are you saying that the Taoist priest is not a good person? Damn, he was completely deceived, and I said that a Taoist priest who was scolded by others for a few words and was about to cut off his life path, how did he suddenly become kind? So that's what happened? Okay, I'm in charge of this matter! What is the great merit you are talking about?"
