With a click, the bowl fell from Yuan Youcai's hands.
He stared at his nephew and stammered, "Master? Which master?"
"Master Sugar!"
Chapter 215: Emotional
Yuan Youcai didn't want to be like that thin monk, working nervously every day just for the sake of working.
"I'll be angry with whoever brings that little girl here!"
To emphasize his determination, he repeated this three times.
"Uncle, calm down. We are just discussing this and haven't really hired anyone yet."
Yuan Jun repeatedly said that he would tell everyone when he returned and asked Yuan Youcai not to worry.
But it is impossible for the latter not to worry. After all, his nephew is just a junior and his words carry little weight at home.
So he was careful and got up early the next day, which was unusual for him.
There was fog in Sangui Town in the early morning, which affected Yuan Youcai's vision somewhat.
So even though he was looking around for passers-by, when he spotted the little girl carrying the flag, the two were already very close.
"You're awake"
The little girl smiled and greeted Yuan Youcai: "Lie down and don't move. Tangtang will feel your bones for you."
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Yuan Youcai's scream scared Tangtang. Taking this opportunity, he jumped up from the ground, not even bothering to take the mat, and ran away stumbling.
"Don't run, don't run. You are sick. Tangtang is here to treat you."
"Laziness is not a disease, Master, please let me go!"
He ran and ran until he could no longer hear the little girl's voice. When he was out of breath, Yuan Youcai finally stopped, holding onto his thigh.
"I didn't leave town, so why do I feel like I'm in a strange place?"
A feeling of insecurity arose spontaneously, and Yuan Youcai regretted very much that he did not take the mat with him when he ran away.
Don’t underestimate this small mat. Wrapping yourself in it can isolate you from the entire world!
'No, I have to go back and see, maybe she has left.'
Yuan Youcai lowered his head, trying his best to avoid eye contact with passers-by.
He prayed as he slowly returned to his comfort zone.
"You're back? Tangtang has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Ahhhh-"
.......
Master Tangtang is very persistent and waits by the mat every day for his patients to come back.
Yuan Jun seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and Yuan Youcai really wanted to die!
This matter is actually very easy to resolve. As long as the latter finds some relatives and friends to make a fuss, they will probably give some money and send the girl away.
The problem is that Yuan Youcai can't do it! A long time ago, he didn't want to, nor dared to see relatives and friends other than Yuan Jun.
Having lost his place to stay, the hungry man walked aimlessly on the street.
"Brother Yuan?"
"Ah, Brother Jinger!"
When he saw Jing Er, Yuan Youcai burst into tears.
After he finished telling her about his recent experience, Jing Er said cheerfully, "Hey, it's no big deal, isn't it just that you have no place to live? You can stay at my place for a while."
Huh?
Seeing Yuan Youcai hesitate, Jing Er grabbed his hand and left.
"Brother, the place you live in is a little small, but it's better than the mat you used to sleep on. Everyone has difficulties sometimes. Don't be polite!"
Just as Jing Er said, he now lives in a small shabby house.
In addition, money was tight, and there was no meat for three meals a day, just pickled vegetable porridge with some pickled radish.
Even so, Yuan Youcai was moved to tears.
"Brother, I can't live and eat for free at your house forever. Do you have any job you can recommend to me? I'll go out and earn a little money so that I can buy some wine and meat to enjoy my meal."
Originally Jing Er planned to proceed step by step and slowly persuade Yuan Youcai to go out and do some work.
Unexpectedly, the latter, seeing how hard he worked every day, actually took the initiative to bring it up.
This surprised Jing Er, but he was also quite relieved. He pondered and said, "There is a job for a waiter. Brother Yuan, you can try it."
........
"Why did he become a waiter? Didn't we agree to hire him to do the job?"
In the inn, Jing Jie asked his senior brother curiously.
"Brother Yuan is a little afraid of contact with people now. The job of a waiter is difficult for him, but I believe he can stick to it. After he gets through the most difficult period, he can return to normal life."
Jing Jie felt that his senior brother's approach was a bit radical. The most important thing now was to ensure that the sleepyhead would not appear again.
If Yuan Youcai failed to hold on and eventually collapsed, would they be trapped in Sangui Town for the rest of their lives?
"Don't worry, Junior Brother. I know Brother Yuan. As long as someone gives him a hand, he will be fine!"
"You keep calling me Brother Yuan. Brother, you are still so emotional." Jing Jie said helplessly, "I'm not afraid of being dragged down by you, but Tangtang still needs to find Xiaobai."
"Well, Tangtang will keep a closer look. If the number of sleepyheads increases dramatically one day, we'll just have to return to the original plan!"
Hearing the little girl say this, Jing Er immediately gave her a look of gratitude.
"At this point, this is the only way." Jing Jie thought for a moment and said, "Wouldn't it be better to let Yuan Jun go visit him? With the encouragement of his nephew, the first and most difficult days will be easier to endure."
"Yes, yes, yes, Junior Brother is still very thoughtful!"
All three of them hoped that Yuan Youcai would persevere, and the latter did live up to everyone's expectations.
"Although the work of a waiter is hard, at least I can sleep for four hours a day, and I can go shopping when I have time."
'It's much better than that skinny monk who worked like an animal every day after his lazy bones were touched.'
With the encouragement of his nephew and brother Jing'er, and through constant self-comfort, Yuan Youcai gradually came out of the trough of life.
........
The number of sleepyheads that were born each day became fewer and fewer, and when Yuan Youcai gritted his teeth and went home with his nephew to have a reunion dinner, no sleepyheads crawled out of his nose that night.
"Ah, they've all flown away!"
Countless translucent little insects fluttered their wings and flew out of Sangui Town in large numbers.
Tangtang pointed at the sky and danced with joy. Jingjie and Jinger looked up. Although they did not see the sleepyheads leaving in droves, they all burst into laughter.
"Oh, by the way, Tangtang, help me catch some sleepy bugs!" Jing Er slapped his head and said, "It would be a shame if we didn't catch a few of these rare bugs and raise them."
"Brother, you can't see them, and you don't know what they usually eat. How do you plan to take care of them?"
Jing Er was choked by his junior brother's words. After a long while, he muttered: "I just want to catch some rare insects. What's wrong? Didn't you catch insects when you were a child?"
"Hey, stop arguing. Do you have any bamboo tubes? Tangtang will help Senior Brother Jinger catch a few."
After a while, the little girl sealed a few sleepyheads in the bamboo tube, and Jing Er thanked her happily.
"There is no time to lose, let's go say goodbye to Yuan Youcai and set off." Jing Jie glanced at his happy senior brother and shook his head.
"Well, it's time to explain everything to Brother Yuan!"
Chapter 216: Don’t suffer that injustice!
According to the "one town and four villages" route planned by Jing'er before, the three of them inquired about Xiaobai's news along the way.
But when they arrived at the last border village and asked Jing'er to use the Earth Ear Communication again, they found nothing.
"It seems that Xiaobai didn't take this route. It should be that Thousand Faces turned around and plotted against it." Jing Jie speculated.
"It is also possible that not long after Xiaobai and Qianmian separated, he encountered another enemy of the Immortal level and was captured by him/her."
Jing Er frowned and said, "Think about it, if Qian Mian was the one who plotted against Xiao Bai, he would definitely capture it and bring it back to his nest. Why would he stay in Yufu Country?"
"Maybe he wants to lure Tangtang over?"
"Then we shouldn't interfere with Tangtang's perception of Xiaobai. Wouldn't it be better to catch them all at once?"
"Maybe, maybe Xiaobai is recuperating, and the place where he is recuperating is special, so Tangtang can't sense it accurately." The little girl said with tears in her eyes.
"Yes, yes, Tangtang is right!"
"Yes, I think so too!"
Jing Jie and Jing Er's ability to comfort people really needs to be improved. After hearing what they said, Tangtang's tears started to flow.
"Well, I think, is it possible that Third Senior Brother might know something?" Jing Jie said seriously.
"really"
Jing Er clapped his hands and said, "If there are any strange things that I can't find out, I can ask Third Senior Brother for sure!"
"Third senior brother?" The little girl wiped her eyes and hope rekindled in her heart.
"Yes! Third Senior Brother has clairvoyance, and his eyes like to go wherever there is something going on. He must know something about Xiaobai's situation." Jing Er assured him solemnly.
"Then, where is Third Brother?"
"Take care of the eldest brother in Guantian Temple. Let's go back to the temple to ask him for help!" Jing Jie said immediately.
..........
The three were about to leave the border village, but when the girl saw a woman with a bulging belly, she suddenly stopped.
"Auntie Auntie"
Hearing Tangtang's call, the woman turned around curiously: "Are you calling me? What's the matter, little sister?"
"You, you have a baby bird in your belly."
Hearing this, the woman couldn't help laughing: "It's not a baby bird, it's a baby. You also came out of your mother's belly before."
"Tangtang knows, but, but what's in your belly is not a baby, but a strange bird."
"..."
Seeing the serious tone of the little girl, the smile on the woman's face gradually froze.
"Whose child is this?"
A man ran over and said angrily, "Children can say whatever they want, but there are some things you can't say!"
"Oh, sorry brother, I will definitely discipline this kid when I get back."
Without waiting for Tangtang to say anything else, Jing'er quickly pulled her away.
After the woman watched the three people leave, she said to her husband with a troubled look on her face: "Ah, some words are particularly scary when they come out of a child's mouth."
“Don’t take it personally”
The man suppressed his anger and said, "Next time you see a stranger, just ignore him, so you don't have to hear nonsense again."
"kindness"
The woman gently stroked her belly and walked home, nestled in her husband's arms.
The couple did not believe Tangtang's words, but Jingjie and Jinger did.
It was just that there was no point in arguing with the man just now, so he pulled the girl away first.
"There are two women in the village who are pregnant and about to give birth. Tangtang, let's go check on the other one."
Although I hadn't heard any news about Xiaobai before, I had heard a lot of other miscellaneous things.
