I was favored by the evil god, and I became a white-bone bodhisattva.

Detective Jiang was a pitiful person. Not only did he have to support his son with his daily life, let alone build a family business. His life was extremely hard.

"Where are you going, fellow Taoist?"

Yu Tiangong was thinking to himself when he suddenly noticed that the little girl had quietly walked away.

"Tangtang, go and stay for the night first, and talk to you later."

You want to stay overnight? From the direction you are heading, you are heading towards Constable Jiang's house?

Yu Tiangong didn't understand why, but he had no right to interfere in the girl's affairs.

Shaking his head, the Taoist started chatting enthusiastically with the villagers around him.

.....

"That Taoist priest came to Shancha Village to bring good fortune, so don't go looking for trouble with him."

Detective Jiang had just finished drinking his porridge and was about to go out when he suddenly heard his son say this.

He was about to lose his temper when he saw his son quickly wave his hands and said, "No, no, no, the guests haven't gotten up yet. You can scold me at other times, but not now."

Speaking of that little guest, Detective Jiang became even angrier.

He lowered his voice and said, "They are just staying in our shabby house for a few nights. How dare you charge them?"

“It’s called rent.”

The middle-aged man curled his lips and said, "Besides, if I don't take the money, do you want to change your shoes? It's shameful to wear a pair of worn-out shoes all day long."

It sounds harsh, but in the final analysis, my son was going to use the rent to buy himself new shoes.

Constable Jiang had mixed feelings. Years of oppression had made him full of resentment, and he could no longer say anything heartwarming.

But he couldn't bring himself to scold his son anymore, and in the end he could only look annoyed and hurried out the door.

After walking out of his house, the villagers he met along the way greeted him warmly.

Constable Jiang asked about the Taoist's whereabouts and then strode towards the field.

"The sun is so hot in the sky, I'm afraid the harvest will be poor this year."

Halfway through the journey, Constable Jiang was sweating profusely.

In fact, a poor harvest is still a good thing. The most feared thing is a drought.

Thinking back to the incident of the well drying up before, he felt extremely upset.

'At this moment, a Taoist priest suddenly appeared and brought water to the village...'

Due to his occupational disease, Detective Jiang has never hesitated to assume the utmost malice towards others.

In addition, Yu Tiangong's identity is sensitive, and the old man cannot sleep well at night unless he leaves Baicha Village.

.....

When he walked into the field, all the sweat on the retired constable's body was dried up in the sun.

He was dizzy and accidentally bumped into someone.

"My father-in-law is old. It's so hot today, he should just rest at home."

After seeing Yu Tiangong's face clearly, the old man swallowed his apology and asked coldly: "Why did you come to the field?"

"I have done many jobs, but I have never farmed. Now I know how hard it is to farm."

Constable Jiang looked the Taoist up and down and found that his hands and feet were covered in mud.

This people-friendly move not only failed to change Detective Jiang's opinion of Yu Tiangong, but instead made him feel that he had ulterior motives.

"My father-in-law still wants to arrest me and bring me to justice?"

"Not bad!"

"Because I am a so-called 'evil Taoist'?"

The old man was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "As soon as I saw you, I knew you were a troublemaker. Baicha Village is just a small place, and it can't stand your trouble."

Yu Tiangong raised his eyebrows and asked, "My father-in-law doesn't like people who cause trouble, so if trouble comes to you, what will you do?"

What does this mean?

Facing the angry glare from Constable Jiang, Yu Tiangong pointed to Baicha Village from a distance and said, "Today, I saw many people from other villages coming in to fetch water. Did you notice that, old man?"

"What's wrong with a married girl going back to her parents' home to fetch some water?" the old man disagreed.

"Alas, old man, you misjudged the situation. In Yizhou today, it is not just Baicha Village that is short of water."

Yu Tiangong reminded him, "Today, only married girls came to fetch water after hearing the news. In a few days, all the able-bodied men from the surrounding villages will come to grab water."

.....

The Taoist's words were not alarmist. In fact, within a few days, many people from the neighboring village came to borrow water in the afternoon.

Of course, everyone was reluctant to do so, but since there was a man named Yu Tiangong living in the village who could use water talismans to irrigate wells, everyone was still generous out of courtesy.

However......

"Oh no, oh no, Taoist Yu is missing!"

The next morning, the family where Yu Tiangong stayed announced in panic that he had "disappeared".

"Could it be that someone reported to the police and had the Taoist priest arrested?"

Seeing everyone's eyes focused on him, Constable Jiang said unhappily, "I am old and weak. It's so hot and the county town is so far away. How can I report it to the officials? Besides, if the officials really come, they will definitely cause chaos in the village. I guess that person left on his own."

This makes sense, but as soon as Yu Tiangong left, everyone felt worried.

Some people immediately complained to Taoist Yu why he didn't leave a few more water talismans before leaving, while others looked at a little girl with braids with anticipation.

"Miss Tangtang, I heard clearly that Taoist Yu called you 'Daoist friend' that day."

"Yes," the little girl did not deny it.

"Master Tangtang, do you have water talismans?" another villager asked impatiently.

"No, really not. If you don't believe me, just look."

Tangtang unwrapped herself and found nothing but some spare clothes inside, so where was the water talisman?

Everyone began to sigh, and at this moment, many people from the neighboring village came to borrow water.

"Water from Baicha Village will no longer be lent out!"

"Yes, sorry, we can't lend it to you!"

Chapter 064 With ulterior motives

Baicha Village’s attitude is very clear, that is, it will not be loaned out.

Some people who were thin-skinned left after hearing this, but some others were shameless and even tried to fetch water despite the villagers' obstruction.

What should we do when problems come to us?

Yu Tiangong’s words echoed in the old man’s mind, and he clenched his fists unconsciously.

"You dare to steal our village's water and you will be beaten!"

The retired constable roared and rushed forward, not flinching even after being punched several times on the head.

Seeing the old man being beaten, the villagers of Baicha Village immediately stepped forward to help.

Although the situation escalated rapidly, this is still the territory of Baicha Village.

Everyone united together and, relying on their numbers, drove those who had forcibly borrowed water out of the village in a short time.

"Dad, you are an old man, why are you working so hard? It's just a bucket of water, let him..."

"You know nothing!"

Before his son could finish his complaint, the old man said viciously: "One well can support the people of one village, but if it is shared among ten villages, everyone will die of thirst."

This, this is too exaggerated.

The middle-aged man couldn't help but said, "Dad, how do you know that other villages have no water? Now it's just a few bastards from the neighboring village who came to grab water. We just taught them a lesson. It's not that serious."

"The wells in the two villages ran dry at the same time. Is this a coincidence? Look at the sun in the sky. In your entire life, have you ever seen such a scorching sun or encountered weather this hot?"

We all make a living from farming, and we have experienced the recent weather changes very well.

It’s not that I wasn’t worried before, but everyone has a sense of hope.

Even if it was Constable Jiang, he would not have been so decisive today if it weren't for what Yu Tiangong said yesterday by the field.

"Then, what do you think we should do, Mr. Jiang?"

Unease spread among the crowd, and everyone looked at the old man eagerly, hoping that he could come up with some advice.

"Harvest the crops first! Stop wasting water on watering the fields. Harvest as much as you can before the crops are all killed by the sun."

The retired constable who was promoted to 'Jiang Lao' shouted: "After the crops are harvested, we will protect the well. No matter what, we must protect this well."

.......

The villagers of Baicha Village drove away the people who stole the water, but did not drive the little girl away.

Tangtang did not stay long, she quickly said goodbye to Detective Jiang.

Faced with the evil Taoist priest Yu Tian Gong, Constable Jiang scolded and threatened him several times, and his hostility was so great that even his son could not stand it.

Tangtang seems to be a Taoist priest, but she is too young, and Constable Jiang doesn't want such a little girl to die of thirst.

"In this kind of weather, the elderly and children should not run around outside. No one will have any objections if you drink a few sips of my own water."

Tangtang appreciated the old man's kindness, but she still insisted on going out to find Yu Tiangong.

"You want to find that evil Taoist?" Inspector Jiang asked in surprise, "Why are you looking for him?"

"Grandpa, Tangtang has thought about it and found that the current predicament can only be solved by Fellow Daoist Yu's water talisman." The little girl said seriously.

“He may not still have the water talisman,” the old man smiled bitterly.

"Hmm, what does a water charm look like?"??

After listening to Constable Jiang's brief description, Tangtang said decisively: "Daoyou Yu has water talismans, half a box of water talismans!"

Wha, what? !

The old man's eyes widened and his whole body began to tremble.

"Tangtang will find a way to find him, Grandpa, please wait for me to come back."

The dragon emerged from the little girl's sleeve and enlarged its size under the scorching sun.

Tangtang quickly climbed onto its back and rode away with the dragon!

.......

When it comes to finding someone, it would actually be much easier if we asked the birds in the sky for help.

But the weather is too hot now, and the birds are hiding in the woods to escape the heat. Tangtang can’t ask for help even if she wants to, so she can only ride Xiaoqing to find them herself.

The efficiency of searching by herself was not very high. Even with the help of the White Bone Guardian, it took Tangtang five days to find the man's trace in the mountains.

[Yu Tiangong has ulterior motives, Tangtang, you have to be more careful about him. ]

Before landing, Xiaobai Buddha's light reminded Tangtang, and Qingjiao nodded in agreement, which was rare.

"Yes, Tangtang understands, Fellow Daoist Yu--"

"Fellow Daoist Tangtang?" Yu Tiangong showed a look of surprise.

After the green dragon landed safely on the ground, the little girl immediately explained her purpose to the Taoist in front of her.

"..."

"Before I left the mountain, my teacher gave me 500 water talismans at once, saying that they would be of great use in the future."

Yu Tiangong patted the wooden box on his back and said in a deep voice, "But what use can the water talisman have? My heart immediately skipped a beat."

After all, she was asking for help from someone, so the little girl showed great patience and listened carefully to what the Taoist said.

"Water Talismans are not easy to make, let alone giving out 500 of them at once! This is definitely not something that can be prepared in just a few days, or even a few years."

Yu Tiangong sighed, "I asked Master the reason, and Master calculated in front of me and said that Yizhou will soon be hit by a severe drought, and the drought will gradually spread to Qingzhou."

Tangtang suddenly thought of what the Taoist said while eating sweet potatoes - I don't know whether his calculations are accurate or not.

Even though Xiaobai and Xiaoqing reminded her, the little girl herself also felt that there was something wrong with Yu Tiangong's sudden disappearance.
