Chapter 2 Learning, Art, Thinking and Cloud View (4)
A few people continued to walk forward, and saw a man selling sugar gourds on the street, carrying a bamboo pole with strings of bright red sugar gourds that made people drool. A woman bought a bunch for her son, who licked and bit it with relish. Yu'er watched with a pair of watery eyes. "Do you want to eat?" Duan Xiyun asked when he saw this. "No, it's just that I don't know what this rock sugar gourd tastes like?" may be because of the meager profit of the tofu business, the income can only barely cover the expenses of daily life, so Xia Yuan has never had spare money to buy rock sugar gourd for her to eat. "The silver taels distributed by the head and disciples are limited, and there are still a lot of daily necessities to buy, so the remaining silver taels are just enough, but there is no extra money to buy other things. Jin Cheng saw that Duan Xiyun had the intention of buying rock sugar gourds for Yu'er to eat, so he opened his mouth to put an end to his thoughts before he could ask for it.
"Hmph, miser, I didn't say I wanted you to pay for it. Duan Xiyun said as he took out a large string of five baht coins from his bosom and bought four strings of rock sugar gourds one for each person. "How can you have so much money on you, kid? Jin Cheng saw that Duan Xiyun, a teenager, was carrying a "huge amount of money", and asked in surprise. "It's my mother who cares about the pocket money I put in my baggage. Duan Xiyun patted his purse and said proudly. Jin Cheng looked suspicious. "I have it too. Lin Yanshan and Cao Qingshi also took out a large string of coins from their arms. "I remember, Senior Brother Jin Ming once said that Yanshan is the son of the city lord of Yangcheng, Xiaoyun and Qingshi are also the children of rich and noble families in Yangcheng, and the three of you are all small rich people. Jin Cheng saw that the pocket money of the three children was more than the material expenses of Siyunguan in the first half of the month, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly. "Little meaning, as long as I like it, my mother will buy me anything. Duan Xiyun was even more proud when he heard this. ["Hmph, you kid is a gentleman, but it is only by relying on the blessing of his father that he has the current wealth, and he did not earn it with his own hands, what is there to be proud of. Ziyang couldn't get used to Duan Xiyun's arrogant appearance and interjected. ["You love to meddle in things, what does my mother love me to do with you, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person?" "Uncle Shi misunderstood, our family is just running a small business, and it is good to be able to eat three meals, and we are not a small rich man. Cao Qingshi is more humble. "You don't have to be modest, in short, in the future, when you inherit the family business, don't forget my shabby uncle when you are rich and prosperous. Jin Cheng said with a smile. "Uncle Shi is good to us, we will definitely feel great grace, and we will naturally be kind to Uncle Shi in the future. Duan Xiyun saw that Jin Cheng looked like he was obsessed with money, and wanted to use this to make him less tired in the future, and said this in a transactional tone. "Uncle Shi has nothing to say about our kindness, as long as you come to Yangcheng to find me in the city lord's mansion in the future, I will have all the food, drink and fun. Lin Yanshan was naturally honest and enthusiastic, and he was grateful to Jin Cheng for pulling his little favor with a flatbed truck. "It's still a small mountain and generous, unlike some people, who are a miser. Jin Cheng said casually, but in fact, his language was prickly. ["Well, it's more appropriate to be a treacherous miser."] Ziyang couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard Jin Cheng's words. ["You two old fellows are secretive and insinuating, and you know at a glance that you are not good people."] Duan Xiyun was so embarrassed by the two of them that he wrinkled his nose and resolutely ignored it. ]
As he spoke, he passed a tavern. "You guys are guarding the car here, and I'll go in and get some cooking wine. Jin Cheng's eyebrows fluttered, and he rushed into the tavern like an arrow.
"The boss wants two jars of rice wine, quickly. Jin Cheng shouted loudly as soon as he entered the hall.
"Okay, two jars of rice wine. The tavernkeeper readily agreed.
"Siyunguan has one hundred and eight precepts, and you can't get drunk. Duan Xiyun's sly voice came from behind him. "It's just cooking wine for cooking, don't talk nonsense here if you don't understand. Jin Cheng was first taken aback when he heard this, and then explained. "A jar of wine is eight catties, two jars are sixteen catties, and I buy it once every half a month and fifteen days, in other words, I use more than one catty to cook every day, and this kind of thing will not believe it. In my opinion, Uncle Shi, not only did you drink secretly, but you also used the money you used to buy materials from Siyunguan to buy your own things. Duan Xiyun smiled fiercely. "Feed the kid a nephew to give some face, I admit to abstaining from drinking, but I definitely didn't fill my pocket, this wine is just bought with the hard-earned money I usually save. Jin Cheng saw that the matter had been revealed, and he no longer concealed it, so he simply said it. "Boss, I saw that the signboard outside your door said something 'Zihong Huaying', bring me two jars to entertain this Master Jin Cheng, and I don't want this rice wine." Duan Xiyun also shouted. The tavern owner knew that Jin Cheng was a regular customer, and he usually only bought the cheapest rice wine, but he didn't expect that the shabby-dressed little Taoist boy in front of him would call out the most expensive famous wine in the store and look at him with surprised eyes. Duan Xiyun saw that the boss looked down on people, and immediately took out the money and shook it in front of the boss. Seeing that the money was open, the boss returned to the back hall with a happy face, and came out with two jars. Jin Cheng's eyes lit up, he took the wine jar and swallowed a few saliva times, he couldn't help but open the lid immediately, sniffed it, closed his eyes, indulged in his own world, and only after a long time did he lift the wine jar and taste it, raised his eyebrows, and muttered: "The fragrance is unique, mellow and sweet, and it is really the best in the wine." Xiaoyun, you are such a good person, I have been in Siyun for decades and have never seen such a sensible child as you. "The teacher is serious, respecting the teacher and honoring the elders is what our younger generations should do. Duan Xiyun saw Jin Cheng's strong reaction and knew that he was going to do something nine times out of ten. "You are so filial to your uncle, if you have any difficulties in the future view, just open your mouth, as long as you can do your best, Lao Dao will definitely try his best to help. Jin Cheng smiled happily and said in an extremely caring tone. Of course, he knew that Duan Xiyun had a lot of ideas, so he wouldn't be so kind to invite himself to drink and want to find out what he meant.
"I saw that Uncle Shi was really tired after buying a large cart of goods, so I wanted to help Uncle Shi go down the mountain to purchase materials on every purchase day. Duan Xiyun was indeed in a very happy mood when he went down the mountain to catch the market, he knew that Jin Cheng was addicted to alcohol, and he would definitely agree to this simple request if he was tempted by fine wine. "This is easy to do, and it is a lot easier to go down the mountain with a sensible child like you. Jin Cheng thought to himself that it would be the same for any disciple he took down the mountain anyway, and for him, having wine was the most important thing, and the old and the young looked at each other with their own thoughts and smiled. ["Xiaoyun, you are conniving at the precepts and colluding with bribery, how can you do this at a young age, hmph, a drunkard and a cunning and treacherous one, is this the style of your so-called famous and decent disciples?" ["Then you said strictly, didn't I just say that I was just honoring my elders, and we are not engaging in some immoral transactions between us, but we are taking what we need, and we want you to meddle in our affairs.] Duan Xiyun didn't take Ziyang's words at ease, and Ziyang was so angry that he stomped his feet. ]
After buying wine, everyone continued to move forward. After walking a short distance, I found that there were many people watching the excitement in front of me. Everyone was also well, and their hearts stopped in their tracks. Seeing that two officials were handling the case, a woman cried and said: "My husband went out early yesterday morning and said that he should go home in the evening, but he has not seen anyone until now, he is the most accountable person, he has never tried not to go home for the night, something must be wrong, please help me find the person." "Has your husband offended anyone lately, or has he ever been?" asked a messenger. "My husband is honest and good-tempered, everyone in the neighborhood knows that he will never forgive people, the only bad thing is that he is addicted to alcohol, and when he meets old friends, he will drink late, but he also knows how to go home no matter what. I beg you to bring my husband back, and you will be rewarded in due time. The woman sobbed and said. "In the past six months, every few days before and after the New Year's Moon, there will be people in the nearby towns who have disappeared for no reason, old and young, men and women, and have not found any clues. Another cha muttered. "It must be a ghost, and the pork Gui who sold pork last month also disappeared mysteriously for no reason, and no one has been found so far, it seems that they are all bad luck. In the days before and after the New Moon, it is better to go out in the evening. The onlookers also talked a lot. When the woman heard this, she wept even more bitterly.
The woman cried so much that she suddenly saw Jin Cheng and others in her tearful eyes, because Jin Cheng often came to the town to purchase, so many people in the town knew her, and she seemed to see a trace of life in her desperate eyes, and ran over and knelt in front of Jin Cheng and begged: "Jin Cheng Daoist, you people who think about the clouds are all powerful and omnipotent, please help me get my troubled husband back, and I will repay your great kindness by being a cow and a horse in this life." "The chivalrous reputation of Siyunguan is far and wide, and it often solves problems for the people in the town, so the people here often ask for help from the people in Siyunguan when they have something. "Sister-in-law doesn't have to be so respectful, when she returns to Guanzhong, Lao Dao will immediately inform the head of the house, and send someone to investigate the matter thoroughly. Jin Cheng lifted the woman. In fact, he had already paid attention to the situation just now, and knew that things were not simple, and in the past six months, he had come out around the New Moon to harm people, and he had not left the slightest footprint, indicating that the murderer was a dangerous master.
The two yacha also came over: "If the master of Siyunguan is willing to help, it will be much easier for our government." "We are outsiders, but we are doing our best, and the security of the town still depends on the government. "What Jin Cheng hates the most is these yacha who fight for the first place when they ask for cheapness, and when they get started, they slowly swallow and push three or four, and they hate it when they see their hypocritical faces, and they don't want to turn around and leave without saying much.
And the crowd departed after him. Yu'er was very scared when she heard what happened just now, and asked Duan Xiyun softly: "Brother, did you say that those missing people were captured by fox spirits and then sucked dry of essence blood?" "How can it be fox spirits, I heard that fox spirits will only confuse men, didn't those people just now say that there are missing people, men, women and children, don't you listen to those people's nonsense, there are our Siyunguan here, where do you dare to come here to harm people so boldly." Duan Xiyun convinced her rich imagination. "Sister Yu'er, your brother is right, I used to be afraid of demons and monsters, since I learned the Tao after worshipping the Siyun Temple, I know that as long as we humans practice unremittingly, we humans can also practice Tongtian ability, what are the monsters afraid of. Qing Shi saw that Yu'er was afraid to think of her former self, and she felt empathy and comfort. Lin Yanshan and Duan Xiyun couldn't believe that what they had just said came from the mouth of Cao Qingshi, who would hide in fear as soon as she heard the ghost story. It can be seen that she has also grown a lot in the experience of Siyunguan. Duan Xiyun muttered, "Ghosts are actually not scary at all, they are just very nagging and annoying. "Brother, how do you know this, have you ever seen a ghost?" Yu'er looked at Duan Xiyun with a pair of watery eyes and asked in surprise. "No, no, I'm just guessing. Duan Xiyun inadvertently said that he slipped his mouth and said with a smile. ["Who is nagging and annoying, you kid is really treacherous and cunning when he speaks insinuatingly, and besides, this seat has to declare again that this seat is not a ghost!" ] Ziyang could hear Duan Xiyun counting himself, and he couldn't help but be angry. ["The insinuation was also learned from you adults, well, besides, only you know about the fact that you are a ghost anyway, and no third person will know, hehe, you can admit it.] Duan Xiyun knew that Ziyang was particularly concerned about this matter and deliberately mentioned it repeatedly, and at this time, his face was full of smugness and cunning, and Ziyang was so angry that he jumped into a hurry. ]
Household items have been purchased. Several people walked on the way back. The four of them noticed that Yu'er's pace suddenly became very slow, and she took Duan Xiyun's hand and ran around, always refusing to move forward lightly. Everyone knew her little thoughts, and they didn't say anything, and moved forward at her pace. But the town is small, the road is short, even if it is as slow as a snail, it doesn't take long to return to the tofu stall.
At this time, four hideous-looking men came to Yulang's tofu stall, and the tall, thin and toothy man raised his hand and said: "Boss Yulang seems to have a good business recently, and he has money to buy pears to eat." "A distinguished guest came, so I bought a few pears to entertain you. Xia Yuan was blaming himself for why he didn't hide the leftover pears. "Without further ado, pay this month's rent quickly. The thin man spread his palms familiarly. "Boss, you have a few more days of grace, this month's business is not good, and I spent some money to buy pears just now, so..." The thin man frothed at the mouth and shouted. "Please understand, I really spent money to buy pears to entertain you, and I was really reluctant to buy them to eat myself. Now I only have this money left to give you the rest first, and the boss begs you to be accommodating once, and then give it to you in a few days when you have earned enough. Xia Yuan turned out the coins hidden in his pocket and handed them to the other party. Unexpectedly, the thin man waved his palm and slapped the coins away: "Are we beggars so young, the brothers dismantled his tofu stall." Xia Yuan clenched his fists and lowered his head, and his eyes showed a fierce fierce light, and soon this glimmer of light was hidden in his eyes, and he begged again: "Boss, please beg you, I will definitely hand over all the rent in three days." "Hehe, if it were someone else, maybe I would have a grace period of ten days and a half months, but I hate useless little white faces like you the most, so your money can't be delayed for a day, brothers, what are you waiting for, tear it down." The thin man just finished saying the word "demolition". An angry voice came from behind him, "This is just a street, and it's not a shop, why do you accept other people's money?" Duan Xiyun and his party just came back, and he couldn't get used to seeing the thin man's domineering and hideous face, and he spoke first.
