Ban Fang

Chapter 298 Regret
Before dawn, several people arrived outside the city of Muchun, passing by the destroyed military camp.

Shu He stayed for an hour, and then burned incense and prayed several times. Yuanshi Tianzun said the Fengdu Mitsumi Sutra, which attracted several ragged beggars from the city gate, young and old, to come and pay homage together.

Light smoke curled up, and after Shu He finished chanting, he said softly to the people following the worship:
"Immeasurable longevity."

After speaking, he waved his whisk and was about to leave. A few ragged old and young men followed Shu He, and the oldest old beggar stopped Shu He.

"Taoist! Can we follow you into the Tao?"

Shu He held Ziwu Jue, did not reach out to help the old man in front of him, and said calmly: "Infinite longevity, grandpa, following the old man is just to get food and clothing, how can the old man take care of you when he is too busy to take care of himself?"

"The old man knows the Taoist priest. A few months ago, he took a lot of money from the wealthy people in the city. He did rituals for this barren camp. How could he not take care of food and clothing? If the Taoist priest dislikes the old man, it is better to take these children away. Can make suggestions for the Taoist leader!"

"Grandpa, it's not a joke to become a Daoist. With a group of big and small dog legs, how can an old Daoist travel around?" Shu He turned around and stretched out his hand to beckon the guards at the city gate.

The group of guards who stayed behind in Muchun City had seen Shu He, and they took advantage of various parties that day at the ceremony. Seeing him being stopped not far from the city gate to ask for help, they hurriedly sent a guard to rush over.

The old beggar moved again and knelt down in front of Shu He, begging, "Master Dao, please, these children are all good seedlings, you can't lose your life here! There are only [-] or so children left in our village. A few children, ask the Taoist priest to do me a favor!"

The guards rushing over hurriedly bowed and praised before they could catch their breath: "Master Shu."

Shu He asked a little irritably: "What's going on?"

The garrison explained with embarrassment: "The Taoist chief didn't know something. A few days ago, there was a torrential rain on Zhoushan Mountain in the west of the city, and the small village disappeared overnight. Only these dozen or so people escaped. You know, the rules in this city As many as a cow's hair."

The wealthy family in the city controlled Master Tongzhi with the theory of blessing and misfortune, saying that everything is based on the luck of the city. How can a few orphans who are considered to bring disasters enter the city smoothly?
Shu He raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he didn't care about it. Who said that human nature is selfish, and it's not enough to be rich and unkind?

Twirling his horoscope for a while, he murmured with extreme reluctance: "Before the old man regrets it, count how many people are here, and go tell the Zhou Mansion in the west of the city that this group of disaster-stricken people can be taken away by the old man. The premise is that you have to give me a guide and some money, so as not to be annoying to check all the way, I will give you a stick of incense to do it."

"Yes!" The guard heard that this group of people understood, ignored the old beggar's non-stop thanks, quickly counted the heads, and suddenly found that there was a baby in it, wondering: "When did you have an extra child?"

The old beggar hurriedly turned to kneel and guard, wiped his tears, and mournfully said: "This is the only grandson left in our family. The poor little baby lost his mother not long after he was born. I know that there are many rules in Muchun City, so I am afraid of disturbing the officials. , These days, the children are hiding in the woods with their children."

"If you are acquainted, there will be good rewards! If you meet Daoist Shu, I would like to help you." After counting the number of people, the guards saluted and ran towards the city gate.

Seeing people running away, the old beggar Mo Shao, who was the leader, followed to see the little baby, and asked wonderingly: "Master, you gave birth too fast, the baby is already this big!"

The beggar in shabby attire was already quite displeased, and hearing the teasing made him even more distressed. Although he hadn't received this kind of treatment before, he felt rough and wronged in his heart.

Seeing the displeasure on the master's face, Chu Chu with a dirty face quickly explained: "This is picked up."

"Where can I pick up such a handsome baby?" Mo Shao wiped off the dirt on the baby's face, and the pink and plump little face made people love it.

"In the past two days, he couldn't eat well, and he couldn't sleep soundly. In the past two days, he finally learned to swallow ordinary food, so he raised a little meat." Chu Chu coaxed the baby without pretending to be his hands.

To be honest, Cheng Yun never knew that Chu Chu could talk so much, and became noisy after the dark guard became the bright guard?
"Look at your baby! If you don't tell me, I thought you gave birth." Although Mo Shao got his wife to point out his relatives, the two of them are both old and young, so can they expect to have a baby?
Find a wife!

Shu He looked at the crowd teasing Shu Ruo with a slight smile, and asked wonderingly, "Is there really a flood in Zhoushan?"

"Yeah, it was raining in the mountains two days ago, and it wasn't moist enough to quench the thirst of the mountains, but that heavy rain fell on a small mountain village with soft soil and rocks. The rocks collapsed and fell on the village. It came suddenly and in the dead of night, and no one was there. I can survive." Mo Shao shook his head helplessly, "If we hadn't slept on the tree, we might have gone too."

Shu He chewed these words in a hissed voice, natural disasters can also be met by someone arranged by the junior sister, and then borrow the identity by the way?
Originally, he wanted to pay homage to the filth of the camp, but in the middle of seeing the three who had been hiding in the tree and watching, suddenly knelt down beside him in rags, he was terrified!
According to the habits of the wealthy households in Late Spring City, they would never let these people who were affected by the disaster enter the city with their disasters. The guards would block the city gate and drive them away. The bad luck could only be brought to other places and not to the city.

"Infinite life and blessings! You guys have done great kindness and put the villagers in peace. Without you, maybe no one would know that the village was destroyed on the mountain."

Seeing the good-looking faces of the ragged people, Shu He couldn't help admiring the little junior sister. What kind of luck is this to make all wishes come true?

What a smooth reason to allow this group of people to enter Dongyue smoothly!

In less than a stick of incense, the guard just now rode a fast horse and stood in front of Shu He holding the Four Treasures of the Study and a brocade bag.

Just as he expected, as long as people don't enter the city, wealthy households in the city are willing to spend a lot of money to ask them to leave.

"Shu Daochang, Mr. Tongzhi has prepared the documents and stamped them with the big seal. Please sign up for the humble post to transcribe." The guard ordered one of them to kneel down to grind ink, paper and pen for the table.

See how fast this move is?How afraid that he will regret not taking this group of people away?

"Fine!"

Shu He waved his sleeves to instruct everyone to cooperate, after transcribing for a long time, he finally completed everyone's customs clearance guide.

The guard handed the half-dry document to Shu He, who turned around disdainfully.

"The old Taoist seems to be someone who needs a guide?" Shu He snorted proudly, the arrogance almost gushing out from the top of his head.

The corner of the guard's mouth twitched. With Shu He's reputation in Dongyue, he really didn't need a guide. Instead, he took the guide and begged for someone to accept him.

Mo Shao secretly squeezed his thighs to squeeze out some tears, and said mournfully, "Thank you for your help, sir!"

Shu He frowned again and again, hesitatingly said: "Such a large group of people are passing through the market with a blatant look, what the old man thinks is wrong!"

With a plop, Mo Shao knelt down in front of Shu He again, clutching his Taoist robe and begging, "Master Daoist, you can't regret it!"

　Good morning, I slept comfortably for two days.
