The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 397 The Crisis in Anxiang Station
A moment later, at the gate of Anxiang Station.

Under the leadership of Pei Hong, Pei Wende and his party passed the inspection of the post officials smoothly, and were able to temporarily stay in the inn of Anxiang Post.

It's just that even if he didn't look back, Pei Wende could still imagine the eyes of those refugees who witnessed his group successfully entering the station.

In addition to envy and jealousy, there is also a kind of hatred and even crazy malice.

If it weren't for the majesty of the officials and the heavily armed appearance of the post officials, those hungry people with green eyes would have already started attacking Anxiang Post.

Even so, the most malicious gaze from the depths of one's heart still gave Pei Wende a chill down his spine.

Pei Wende has seen so many demons and rescued so many ghosts, but he has never had an experience that made him so speechless and terrified like today.

This panic stems from Pei Wende's disappointment with his own abilities, and from his deep understanding of human nature.

This is a problem that cannot be solved no matter how many supernatural powers Pei Wende has practiced and how many Buddhist principles he has understood.

Up to now, Pei Wende has finally begun to truly understand Huiji's pursuit for the first time—everything in the world is a pure land, and the land of Buddha is under your feet.

[Unfortunately, this problem was not initially resolved until China really stepped into the 21st century. 】

Slowly restraining his mind, Pei Wende just took one last look at the disheveled and insensitive refugees outside the door, and secretly made up his mind.

I may not be able to greatly increase the productivity of this era, and let China move from an agricultural country to an industrial country in advance.

It may be more beneficial to change the things that one can change within the scope of one's ability than blindly improving one's own morality.

【This is the Mahayana Dharma that brother pursues! 】

The slightest wavering could no longer be seen on his face, and Pei Wende, who had regained his former style, focused his attention on the station.

Pei Wende had an impression of this inn.

Because when he went down the mountain to Changsha County for the first time, he borrowed a thousand-mile horse at this inn, and then he managed to arrive at the haunted Lu Mansion before sunset, and successfully solved the beauty head entrenched there.

"Speaking of which, I remember that Mr. Cao should be in charge of this station, right?"

Looking around, Pei Wende didn't see the old man Cao who lent him a horse in the station.

"Have you been here?"

His eyes widened in surprise, Pei Hong cast a puzzled look at Pei Wende.

Official inns such as Anxiangyi are usually only available to officials and scholars.

If it weren't for Pei Hong's identity as "Ningxiang County Yin" this time, a group of people would have been expelled by the post officials before they approached Anxiang Post.

"Uh, I came here once by chance."

Obviously aware that he had missed something, Pei Wende immediately added.

It's a pity that his words, let alone veterans like Pei Hong and Zhong Butler, are unbelievable. Even Zhang Chusheng, who was silent next to him, couldn't help but roll his eyes.

And Yue'er, who had been tugging at Zou Qiwu's sleeve and looking around curiously, couldn't help laughing outright.

By chance, he appeared in a post station that only official personnel could enter. If there were no tricks in the process, he would not believe it.

"..."

Staring at Pei Wende speechlessly, Pei Hong finally did not investigate why the other party appeared in Anxiangyi.

After all, the other party is his younger brother. Even if he has done something illegal and disciplined, he feels that since he has not been discovered, he can simply continue to hide it.

"The person in charge of Anxiang Station is indeed Officer Cao, and we will indeed go to find him next."

"But his situation may be a bit bad. If you know him, you have to be mentally prepared first."

......................................................................................................

"Grandpa, are you a little better?"

He didn't know that someone outside was looking for his father, but he saw a young man with a sad face standing by the bed, looking nervously at the coughing old man Cao.

"Cough cough cough..."

Without answering the boy's question right away, old man Cao coughed and panted twice before opening his eyes with a tired face.

"Do you think I'm okay?"

The tone was not harsh, but the boy immediately booed and fell silent like a child who had gotten into trouble.

"Stinky boy, I don't blame you."

Coughing hard again, the old man Cao looked at his adopted son, and the corner of his mouth involuntarily raised slightly.

"Your act of saving people was right. Even if you didn't take the initiative to save people at that time, I would go up and save people."

Old man Cao is telling the truth. He has lived for so long in his life, and the most satisfying thing he has done is to adopt the child in front of him.

Filial, motivated, and kind-hearted...

Although the boy is often scolded by old man Cao for doing bad things with good intentions, deep down in his heart he values ​​this very much.

"Old man, why don't I take you to Doctor Lu's place!"

"I heard that Miracle Physician Lu has excellent medical skills and is not too far away from us. He will definitely be able to cure you."

Facing the dissuasion from the young man's worries, old man Cao just shook his head as usual, and then said firmly.

"I am aware of my own situation. Even Doctor Lu can't heal my current injury."

When he said this, the old man Cao got up from the bed, and then got out of the bed with the help of the young man in a hurry.

"Besides, compared to this, what is more important now is to maintain the normal operation of the station."

"Refugees have already appeared here and must be reported immediately, so that Changsha County can prepare countermeasures in advance."

Although the qi was weak and weak, the old man Cao's tone was still strong and powerful.

"And the things that happened to me have to be reported together. It's best to let Qin Tianjian send someone over."

Hearing this, the young man supporting old man Cao opened his mouth hesitantly, and the worry on his face became more obvious.

Obviously his body has become so weak, but he still wants to fully operate Anxiangyi. This makes the young man admire his father, but at the same time, he is quite annoyed by his stubborn character.

"Old man, you can leave Anxiangyi to me with complete peace of mind. The most important thing for you now is to heal your injuries!"

However, just like every persuasion in the past, the stubborn old man Cao didn't listen to any persuasion from the young man at all, but forced himself to get out of the room.

"I can still persist, and those 'stabs' in the station are not something you can settle."
