Chapter 2: Seeking the Way
Suddenly, the villagers scolded and ran in the direction where the Taoist priest left.
Xu Xian turned around and saw that there was not a single pear left in the car, and the cart was missing a handle, which was a trace of a new chisel, so he was a little surprised. The villager also followed everyone to watch the Taoist priest cast the spell just now, and he forgot about selling pears, only to find that the car was full of pears, and there was no handlebar.
After a while, the villager walked back with a handlebar, and cursed as he walked. The people in the bazaar laughed, and the townsfolk were angry and scolded, and scolded and wept, and such a stout man sat on the ground and wept like a child. It was very funny, and the laughter of the crowd became even louder.
Xu Xian's heart moved, and he looked back and saw the Taoist priest standing in the distance with a smile, but it was just the opposite of the direction he left just now, after the Taoist priest rushed Xu Xianji, he turned around and strode away, there were many people in the market, but others didn't seem to notice him, and only laughed at the villagers.
Xu Xian gritted his teeth and strode away with a soy sauce bottle, the figure of the Taoist priest seemed to be fast and slow, but in the crowded crowd, he was like a fish walking in water, and there was no delay at all, no matter how Xu Xian chased him, he couldn't get close.
The figure of the Taoist priest suddenly turned a corner, and Xu Xian's heart was in a hurry, and he accelerated his pace even more. But he turned the corner of the wall, but saw that there was no one in the dead end, Xu Xian panted and rested against the wall, his heart was full of frustration.
Someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder, which made Xu Xian's heart suddenly startled. The voice of the Taoist priest came from behind him: "Little layman, what else is going on!" The smile in his voice made Xu Xian feel at ease.
"Grandpa Daoist, you give the money to others!" Xu Xian gasped slightly.
The Taoist priest was stunned, he thought that it was a child who was curious and wanted to learn his method. But he didn't expect Xu Xian to chase after him for this matter. I can't help but re-examine the not very handsome child in front of me, wearing patched clothes.
The Taoist priest smiled: "Where do I have money, that person is stingy and eats the consequences, why should you bother!"
"You know how to spell, and you're certainly rich. And pears are other people's things, and it's also people's business if they don't want to invite you to eat them. Those pears were also planted with great painstaking efforts, and they are gone. What should he do with his family! How can this be considered a lot of trouble because of me!"
Xu Xian's words were reasonable and responsible, but because they were selfless words, they seemed even more upright.
The Taoist priest was stunned again, looking at the immature face in front of him full of firmness, and couldn't help sighing: "Yes, he is not the only one who is stingy, everyone persuades each other, but only you are willing to contribute." It's just that I don't have any money. In this way, I have a Taoist gift, how about this matter be revealed?" said the Taoist priest and took out a book from his bosom.
Xu Xian couldn't help but be moved in his heart, who has never had such a dream, met a peerless master, obtained the secret book of divine skills, and then soared into the sky. It's just that Xu Xian shook his head fiercely and threw these thoughts out. "No, no, you'd better give the money to someone! ”
The Taoist priest suddenly said angrily: "If the monks don't speak, I can still deceive you as a child, I travel all over the world, neither robbing houses nor stealing chickens and dogs." Where there is a lot of money. After speaking, he pushed Xu Xian out.
Xu Xian fell lightly to the ground, and when he looked up again, he found that there was no alley, only a bluestone wall. I vaguely remembered that when I was talking to the Taoist priest just now, it was obviously in the middle of the city, but the alley was silent as if it were another world.
Xu Xian stood up dejectedly, patted the dust on his body, and slowly walked back, a little regretful and a little annoyed. He originally wanted to help the villager get back the pear money and see if he could learn some spells. But sure enough, no matter in the past life or this life, nothing has been accomplished. All kinds of sorrows finally reconciled into a long sigh.
When I returned to the original place, I saw that the villager was still sitting on the ground wiping his tears, and the passers-by didn't know what they wanted to inquire, and they couldn't help but laugh when they heard it. Xu Xian touched his arms, and there was still the pear that the Taoist priest gave him.
After thinking about it, he walked over, handed the pear to the villager and said, "No, here you go, it's not early, go back quickly!"
The villager raised his face, his stupid face and the ravine left by his tears, Xu Xian laughed and sighed in his heart, if you are willing to be generous, why should you be like this? Poor people must have something to hate, not unreasonable!
The villager suddenly jumped up and grabbed Xu Xian, and said loudly: "It's the pear you bought, it must be the same party of the bull's nose, pay me pear money, pay me pear money, or pull you to see the official." ”
Xu Xian smiled bitterly and distinguished, the villagers seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, where would they listen, they just blindly pestered. Most of the people on both sides of the street knew Xu Xian, and they gathered around at this moment, gossiping that the villagers were not. The villager's momentum suddenly withered, and he couldn't help but let go of his hand, but he was sad about his car and his pear, and he cried again.
Xu Xian saw the bruises on his arms, and he was angry, and he wanted to leave. But when he saw the pitiful appearance of the villagers, he scolded himself fiercely in his heart: Xu Xian, Xu Xian, you are a rotten good person, rotten to death! Isn't it enough to die once?
But thinking about this carload of pears, I don't know how much hope this villager has, he is just behaving abnormally under the sadness. With a wry smile, I thought: Once is not enough, then let's do it again!
Don't ask for any good returns, don't ask for any kindness, Xu Xian is such a surname, as the so-called Jiangshan is easy to change his surname and difficult to change, this is probably something that can't even be changed!
Xu Xian smiled and approached an aunt who was selling vegetables next to him: "Sister, you can give the pear money to others, you see how pitiful he is, who is not in a hurry when he encounters such a thing!" "Big brother ......" "Uncle ......"
said that the twilight was sinking in the west, and the people on the set gradually dispersed, Xu Xian checked the bag of money in his hand, and finally only took back a small half. There are those who disperse after watching the excitement, and there are those who refuse to admit it, but there is nothing to be done, and they can finally make up for some losses.
Xu Xian borrowed the tools, the villagers' cart had been repaired, and handed over the money to him, Xu Xian thought about it and took out a few more and said, "I gave you back the pear." "I feel a little proud in my heart, who said that I always put myself in it when I do good deeds.
The villager nodded innocently, just a strong thank-you, and he couldn't say anything new over and over again.
"Let's go back quickly! It's getting late now, so be generous in the future!" Xu Xian waved goodbye to the villagers, the sun was setting, pulling his shadow very long, Xu Xian was immersed in his own happiness, and those regrets had long been left behind. But this happiness didn't last long, Xu Xian suddenly exclaimed: "My soy sauce." ”
The unqualified soy sauce party Xu Xian's children ran all the way with the soy sauce bottle.
In a soy sauce shop.
"Brother Chen, give me a bottle of soy sauce, hurry up, hurry up. ”
In an old house.
"Little bunny, where did you die in the afternoon! "A woman with a broom kicked Xu Xianji, flying dogs, jumping. It's just that his face is the same as Xu Xian, he can't be regarded as handsome, he can only be regarded as Zhou Zheng.
"Sister, don't fight, can't I be wrong?
"Whoever cries, see if I can't kill you. ”
"The soy sauce was spilled, the soy sauce was spilled. Xu Xian suddenly exclaimed.
"Where, where!" the woman said in distress as she quickly stopped.
"Lie to you, I'm starving, let's eat! When you're full, you'll have the strength to fight! Wow, it's taro! I like to eat it the most." ”
"You know how to eat. The woman said, but there was some warmth in her heart. In the poor family, the food is the cheapest thing nowadays, and it is not very fresh, but no matter what you do, it is always Xu Xian's favorite food.
A little oil is faint, not as bright as the lights of a wealthy house. Eating a light meal with few oily dishes, who can say that Xu Xian at this moment is far from happiness?
The sky is full of stars, and there is a Taoist priest standing on the stone bridge in front of the door looking at the fire light from Xu Xian's house, obviously close at hand, but he feels far away in the world, has he ever had such a time? Even he can't tell the difference. The autumn wind blew across the river, and with his cultivation, he actually felt a slight chill.
