Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 460. 459.

This was the first time Li Zhen heard such childish words from Master Huqiu.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't surprised.

But after being surprised, it was replaced by a kind of doubt that followed this sentence.

Doubts about this sentence.

With a "should be so" expression on his face, the Taoist raised his eyes to the woman who looked at him coldly:

"grown ups."

He seriously asked a sentence:

"I made a mistake, and I should apologize, shouldn't I?"

"..."

Looking at the dumb Master Huqiu, the Taoist became more and more puzzled:

"Although... I think with the wisdom of an adult, I don't understand that sometimes not all sorry can be forgiven by saying "it's okay". But... shouldn't this be the first quality that a person who makes a mistake should have? Is it possible that the adults think they are doing the right thing?"

"..."

The woman remained silent.

But her silence gave Li Zhen a chance to ask her next question:

"Say sorry...is it difficult for adults?"

"..."

In the room, it became quiet again.

Li Zhen was not talking, because he just said that the other party should apologize.But not all regrets in this world can be forgiven.

And Lord Fox Qiu was not talking either.

It's just that his eyes moved away from Li Zhen.

Staring at the porcelain bottle, I don't know what I'm thinking.

After a long time, the woman's eyes slowly recovered.

Picking up the bottle of vegetarian wine on the table and pouring herself a teacup, she took a sip, feeling the sweet and sour taste in her mouth, and suddenly said:
"Taoist, how long have we known each other?"

Li Zhen was also in a daze during this time, watching the moonlight flickering through the screen window of the meditation room.

Hearing this, his tone was flat:
"Half a year."

"It's only been half a year..."

Holding the teacup, the woman's eyes showed a little emotion.

"In the past six months, from beating me to Qiemo to now, a lot of things have really happened. Right?"

"Ah."

Li Zhen's voice was flat.

The woman didn't mind, she seemed to remember something, and said suddenly:

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you. Do you still remember that beggar at Qiemo?"

This time, the Taoist turned his head around.

Seeing him clearly wanting to know, but trying to keep calm, the woman didn't hide, and said directly:
"The people I stayed at Qiemo sent back news a few days ago, but it wasn't just for him. The ground vein in Tianjun Temple is very suitable for alchemy. There are not many places in the world that can spark the fire of the ground veins. And the reason why it was established in the first place was also because of this leyline, otherwise it would not have been built beyond Qianfu Mountain. And after I left, someone has been staring at that leyline. A few days ago, the Taoist thought I wanted to send a few more alchemists there, but I rejected it. Then I sent a letter to ask about the situation."

"..."

"The beggar never left Qiemo, but he must have been frightened that night, so he hid for a while. But after you left, he went to you several times in a sneaky way, and found that your Taoist temple has always been After locking the door, I haven’t been there. And at the age of Xi, my people found that there was a fire in the Taoist temple. I told them to help you look after your home. When they found the fire, they thought they had recruited thieves. Just went to investigate."

As she said that, when she saw the Taoist whose eyes became a little softer, for some reason, she just felt a lot more comfortable in her heart.

"Wu Laizi is in your Taoist temple. There are nine children beside him, cooking porridge bustlingly."

nine?

Li Zhen was taken aback.

Except for that poor boy...Wu Laizi should have seven children.One died, and six remained.

Where did those three children come from?

Whose wife did he hide under the bed?

The muscles in his face began to twitch.

And looking at the Taoist priest whose eyes were filled with warmth in astonishment, who wanted to laugh but still tried his best to keep his face sullen, for some reason, the woman also had a smile in her heart.

Can't help jokingly said:

"If you want to laugh, just laugh out loud. Enough laughing, continue to slap your face at me."

As she spoke, she waved her hand:
"It's okay, I'll wait for you."

"..."

Having been punctured, the Taoist priest tonight finally felt a little more embarrassed.

He actually wanted to be tense, but when he heard that Cripple Wu was fine, and even had three more "sons", he really couldn't fake the happiness from the heart.

But you gotta be joking... and a little awkward.

Pindao... Isn't Pindao angry?

Still laughing when you are angry, then...how embarrassing.

Master Huqiu was holding a teacup, and took another sip of the plain wine exuding a sweet smell.After giving Taoist time to react, he continued:

"Human, there is such a little advantage after standing on a high place. Other people with lower status than you will try their best to cater to you, hope you are happy, and when you are happy, get some benefits from you. Very Unfortunately, I was the one standing on the high place, so when a Taoist priest named Li Shouchu came out from Qiemo and stood with me at Xi Sui and appeared on that big boat, it was reported by some After people know about it, then, through my light, everything around that Taoist priest seems to be worthy of people's attention."

"..."

"The people I stayed in Qiemo saw the cripple Wu. He didn't know that I had saved the cripple Wu, but he knew that what you Taoist did was caused by this beggar. You saved the beggar. But you are mine, so Wu Laizi's status has been elevated because of you. So, this person told me that after seeing the lame man cooking with the children, he did nothing else but In the name of worshiping gods, I went to worship the clay sculpture of Laojun who had lost his head. Then... I threw ten taels of silver into the merit box."

"..."

Li Zhen's eyes moved.

Ten taels of silver...

According to Qiemo's consumption level, as long as Wu Zizi doesn't mess around, then... But it can take a long time.

"call……"

He let out a sigh of relief.

I couldn't help but look at the woman holding the cup and drinking again, as if saying:

"Anymore?"

The porcelain bottle was picked up, and the woman glanced at his already empty glass, first poured herself half a glass, and then pushed the remaining half bottle of wine in front of him.

"Before leaving, the man took a look at the situation of the Taoist temple. The Taoist temple has been cleaned and kept very clean. He even took a look at the grave behind the Taoist temple. There is still a handful of plant ash in front of the grave. It should be The millet stalks were burned to pay homage... Now that I think about it, when I heard you talk in Qiemo, you, a Taoist, said something quite right."

The cup was picked up, and the woman looked at him with an inexplicable emotion in her eyes:

"To be righteous is to slaughter dogs, but to be ungrateful is always to be a scholar... right?"

She didn't drink, she still held it, and pointed the cup at the Taoist priest opposite.

Waiting for him to touch.

"..."

Li Zhen moved Realization from her white fingers holding the cup to her face.

Looking at the pair of eyes in the candlelight, which seemed a little sad for some reason.

This time, without any hesitation, he poured himself half a glass of wine.

The bottle that was put down was pushed back in front of the woman by him.

Three cups per bottle, two and a half cups for you, half cup for me.

"Thank you, Mr. Pindao."

"Ding."

The teacups collided slightly, and the Taoist who held the cups in both hands saluted respectfully, and expressed his thanks for the heroic beggar in his heart.

But this time, a smile finally appeared on the woman's face.

After taking a sip of the drink in satisfaction, he put down the glass, looked at the expression in Taoist's eyes, and couldn't help but say:

"Taoist, has anyone ever said that your kindness makes people feel unreal?"

"...?"

Li Zhen must have heard this statement for the first time, and was inevitably stunned.

But the woman shook her head slightly:

"I don't know... because of your temperament, how much you will suffer in the future."

"..."

"In short, since I've said it, I might as well finish it with you. After the eve of the year, after I received this information, at that time, in your heart, I was considered "one of my own" anyway, right? So, I will give that Someone replied with a letter... Well, it should have been delivered to Qiemo last month, right? The content of the letter is nothing, just a few blank ultimatums."

"A ultimatum?"

Looking at the doubtful Taoist, the woman nodded:
"Yeah. Du Die ~ ten taels of silver, there will always be a day when the mountain is empty. Qiu Cunfeng is dead, and the Tianjun Temple is empty. But people still need to guard the land. Therefore, the somewhat blank Du Die, as long as it is pressed by the beggar With his fingerprints, he and those little beggars are equivalent to Taoist disciples.

I also asked the county magistrate of Qiemo to send out an errand to look at the three temples of Chushi, Tianjun, and Liaochen, and receive a monthly salary from the county magistrate.In this way, there will be people living in your Shiguan, and if you don’t go back for a few years, the house will not collapse, and the cripple will help you take care of it.

When you want to return to your roots in the future, at least you have a sustenance, right?And the cripple has a place to live, although he is not very rich, but as long as I stay in this position for a day, he will not lose his backing. How, Taoist, are you satisfied with my arrangement? "

Are you satisfied?
So satisfied that I can't be satisfied anymore.

On Qiemo's side, in fact, the thing he was most worried about was Cripple Wu.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have to leave, and I even went to the other party's dilapidated house to take a look...

But now that he heard that the other party had a certain security, he even became his colleague.

My heart is really at ease.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help getting up, looked at the woman solemnly and bowed:
"Fu Sheng Wu Liang Tian Zun, the pindao replaces the five cripples... Thank you for your kindness."

"...Tsk."

Facing the Taoist's sincere thanks, the woman's eyes were full of helplessness.

As if talking to himself:
"So...in the whole world, I have no choice but to face you, a Taoist priest..."

As she spoke, she pointed to where Li Zhen was sitting and asked:

"Now, can you have a good chat with me? Talk about... about tonight."

"..."

Hearing this, Li Zhen pursed her lips subconsciously.

After thinking about it, he suddenly asked:

"With sincerity, in exchange for sincerity?"

The woman was taken aback...

It was like hearing some naive joke.

sincere?

Just when she was about to say something, but when she met the Taoist's eyes, she fell silent.

Can't say a word.

moment.

Just when Taoist's eyes dimmed, there was a long sigh in the room:
"Ugh……"

The woman agreed, looked at each other, word by word:
"Okay, exchange your sincerity for your sincerity."

(Wu Laizi’s thread is finished. At that time, I remember that at the end of the first volume, some readers asked why this lame man didn’t arrange a good job or settle down. I didn’t answer at that time. I told you before I'm used to the writing habit of dropping all kinds of buttons in a seemingly indifferent way. And Wu Zizi's setting at that time was the ending today.

It's just that I had a vague idea at the time, but I didn't know when to use it, because when I set up the role of Mr. Huqiu, I felt that the other party was too cold, too tall, and too domineering. The change of mentality requires an external incentive, but how to achieve it has not been considered clearly.That's why I arranged the plot of Wu Zizi's disappearance... It's just that I didn't expect that I would drag it to more than 100 million words to finish it... But fortunately, the pit was filled, haha. )
