Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11464

When Qing'er and the others came back from the Taoist temple, Cao Bamei wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to Qing'er...

I just don’t know if Qing’er will not accept it, oh!

When the second wave of footsteps reached the door, it was indeed Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang who had returned.

Their shoulders were covered with dew from the night. Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang had capes on their cloaks, but Xiu Xiu didn't, and she didn't wear a hat either.

So when the three of them entered the room, Xiu Xiu's head was wet.

Yang Ruoqing said to Xiu Xiu: "I will take care of the things here, you don't have to worry about it for now, go and dry your hair, change into clean clothes, and go take care of Yong Xiao!"

Xiu Xiu nodded, didn't say anything more, and went straight back to her room.

The other women in the main room saw three of Yang Ruoqing's group go out and three come back, and they didn't see Taoist Yuan at all.

"Qing'er, where is Taoist Yuan?" asked Sun.

Yang Ruoqing took the bowl of hot tea handed over by Zhao Liuer and passed it to Luo Fengtang beside her to warm his hands. She then took the hot tea handed over by Xiao Mo and held it in her hands.

"It's a bad omen. Taoist Yuan took Xiaomo to a Taoist temple in the neighboring county early this morning to participate in a Taoist altar ceremony."

"Ah? You went there so early this morning? No wonder Fourth Uncle and Yongzhi didn't know!" Zhao Liuer exclaimed.

Fourth Uncle and Yongzhi both thought that Taoist Yuan was still in the Taoist temple, after all, they had had lunch together yesterday.

Today, because the fourth family needed to renovate the west room of the old house, Fourth Uncle and Yongzhi did not go to the Taoist temple.

"At this critical moment, what should we do if Taoist Yuan is not here?"

"Yes, which county is the neighboring county? Is it far? How many days will it take to get back?"

"No matter how far away it is, they have to leave the county, and even if it's a neighboring county, it will take one or two days to go back and forth." Yang Ruoqing said, "Since it's a Taoist altar ceremony, they have been invited to our Taoist temple, it may be a large-scale ceremony. According to Taoist Yuan's previous experience in this regard, I'm afraid he won't be back for three to five days!"

Usually those experienced Taoist priests gather together to perform rituals, and after the rituals are over, they may get together again to exchange Taoist teachings.

There are even some Taoists who like to study alchemy or something. Such discussions and exchanges are equivalent to a large-scale academic exchange meeting. Moreover, the host Taoist temple provides food and drink. Three to five days of exchanges are considered rushed, and ten days or half a month is not uncommon.

"Qing'er, Tang'er!"

The masters who were originally guarding the backyard knew that Yang Ruoqing and the others had returned from the Taoist temple the moment they saw Xiu Xiu, so they left Yang Yongqing there to continue watching the movements in Xiu Hong's room, and everyone else, including Old Yang, all moved to the main hall in the front yard.

Naturally, Yang Ruoqing repeated to them the matter of not being able to invite Taoist Yuan.

Yang Huazhong was immediately in a dilemma, frowning and muttering, "If the person is not here, who can I find?"

Old Yang glared at Yang Huaming and Yang Yongzhi in dissatisfaction: "You two are working in the Taoist temple. You see Taoist Yuan every day. He is not in the Taoist temple, but you don't say a word? Are you here to eat for nothing?"

Yang Huaming looked aggrieved. He twisted his body slightly while standing there talking, and muttered, "We don't know about this either. It's not easy for us to ask about Taoist Yuan's schedule. He won't take the initiative to explain it to us!"

Yang Huaming glanced at Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang again. They had taken off their cloaks and draped them over the backs of their chairs, and the toes of their shoes were covered in dew and mud.

"If we knew in advance that Taoist Master Yuan was not in the temple, we would have told him. We couldn't let Qing'er and the others go there in vain in the middle of the night, right, Yongzhi?"

Yang Yongzhi did not respond to Yang Huaming's words, but tried to recall something. Suddenly, Yang Yongzhi raised his head and said, "I know which Taoist temple Taoist Yuan went to in the neighboring county. It's the Qingfeng Temple in Qifeng Mountain..."

"Then go to Qingfeng Temple to find someone!" Old Yang urged. Everyone looked at each other, but no one moved.

Luo Fengtang then moved the tea bowl away from his mouth and said calmly: "Although it is a neighboring county and you can go back and forth in one day, Qifeng Mountain is at the very edge of the county, adjacent to another county."

"That mountain is very high and deep. Qingfeng Temple should be hidden in the mountains. Even if we bring dry food, it will probably take three days to go back and forth."

And for three days, Xiuhong...

Everyone was speechless, and the atmosphere in the main room suddenly became solemn.

Cao Bamei even covered her face and cried loudly.

The sound of a carriage was heard outside, and then Yang Yongjin's voice was heard: "I'm back, where's the second girl? What's going on?"

"Yongjin is back!"

"Second brother is back!"

"Yongjin, I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious. Listen to what we have to say. This is the current situation..."

After half a bowl of tea, Yang Yongjin knew everything.

Then he went straight to the backyard, accompanied by Yang Yongzhi and Yang Huazhong.

Soon, Yang Yongjin returned to the main room with a gloomy face.

"I'm going to Qingfeng Temple on Qifeng Mountain to ask Taoist Yuan to come back. Three days is just three days. We can't just watch the second girl get killed by that evil thing!" Yang Yongjin didn't even touch the stool, let alone drink a sip of tea, or look at Cao Bamei, and he didn't even bother to see his little grandson Yongxiao. He was in a hurry to go out and set off overnight.

Luo Fengtang stopped him, "Second brother, don't worry, Qing'er and I just thought of another person."

"Who?"

"Captain Wang's cousin."

"That... the master Wang who conquered Tai Sui?"

"Yes, it's him." Yang Ruoqing nodded. "Old Master Wang lives in a town under Wanghai County. We can go and invite him tonight. He will arrive early tomorrow morning. And when it comes to dealing with strange things, Old Master Wang's experience and methods may not be inferior to Taoist Yuan."

When Master Wang followed that strange master, all he learned were practical things.

On the other hand, Taoist Master Yuan may know more about Taoism research.

Although Taoist Yuan is also an expert, his expertise is different from that of Master Wang. When it comes to embroidering red, it might be more appropriate to ask Master Wang to do it.

"Okay, I'll go and invite him right away! I'll go to Wang Baochang's house in the town first and ask him to accompany me and show me the way!" said Yang Yongjin.

Everyone nodded.

Cao Bamei suddenly struggled to sit up and said to Yang Yongjin, "Dad, it's not good for people to work so hard at night. Bring some good wine and cigarettes from home, and some snacks for the children. Don't go empty-handed."

Faced with Cao Bamei's careful reminder, Yang Yongjin would definitely be pleased with his wife's understanding at other times.

But this time, he said with a dark face and displeasure: "It's all your fault. You had to take my two daughters to those caves to pick mushrooms. How can you be a mother?"
