Chapter 83 Using a bellyband as a handkerchief

Master Sanqing shook his head seriously.

"No, I didn't see any clothes while I was processing the wild animals here."

Just as the Taoist priest Sanqing turned to leave, the woman reached out and grabbed his hand, pointing to the two straps he was using to tie the rabbit.

"Where did you come from? Why do you look so familiar?"

Master Sanqing glanced at the ribbon the old woman was pointing to and said matter-of-factly,

"Oh, this is from a piece of cloth I just picked up. I thought these two straps were in the way, so I cut them off. And you know what? These straps are pretty sturdy; they're actually quite good for tying up rabbits."

"Cut it off?" The old woman was furious as she looked at the rope used to tie the rabbit. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"You said you just picked up a piece of cloth, where is that piece of cloth now?"

The Taoist priest reluctantly reached into his robes and took out a "handkerchief".

"Here it is. I think it would be quite good as a handkerchief without the straps. Although the shape is a bit strange, it can still be used. Anyway, I don't need to be too picky about wiping my little apprentice's nose."

When the old woman heard that her favorite undergarment had not only been ruined, but was going to be used by this lewd old man to wipe his nose, she could no longer contain her anger.

She put her hands on her hips and pointed at the Three Pure Ones.

"Well, you old lecher! Not only did you steal my undergarment, you even secretly stuffed it into your clothes!"

"This humble Taoist priest has none..." Upon hearing the woman say that the "handkerchief" he had just picked up was actually a bellyband, the Taoist priest immediately took the cloth out of his bosom as if it were a hot potato and threw it away.

The woman became even angrier when she saw the undergarment thrown on the ground.

"This humble Taoist?"

So, you old rascal are actually a Taoist priest?

"As a Taoist priest, instead of focusing on your spiritual cultivation, you've come here to steal a respectable woman's undergarment?"

"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! It really is a misunderstanding! This humble Taoist priest really did not steal your undergarment."

How can I not explain this to you, woman?

Ningbao was unaware that her master was currently living a very colorful and inexplicable life.

At this moment, Ning Bao was standing under a big tree not far from the riverbank, drooling over the bright red fruit on the tree.

Although she repeatedly emphasized that she knew kung fu, although not very good at it, climbing a tree and picking fruit should be no problem for her.

But no matter what she said, Mu Chunping and Shen Junshan disagreed with her climbing the tree.

With no other option, Mu Cheng'an had to climb the tree to pick the fruit. Shen Junshan and Mu Chunping watched Ning Bao from below, afraid that the little glutton would dart up the tree if they didn't see her for a second.

Mu Cheng'an, a boy of only half a year old, was indeed very good at climbing trees and his movements were very quick. It was quite good that he picked the fruit from the tree while everyone else picked it up from the ground.

But Lingling and Ningbao, the cat and a human, were eyeing the biggest and reddest fruits on the treetop.

Unfortunately, Mu Cheng'an tried several times but failed to pick it. Lingling gave Mu Cheng'an a disdainful look, then darted up the tree and headed straight for the treetop. With a light touch, she slapped the biggest and reddest fruit with her paw, and it fell to the ground. Ningbao, the chubby little boy, nimbly jumped and caught the falling fruit steadily.

But just then, Ning Bao suddenly sensed something strange. Just as she was about to investigate, a scream rang out.

"Uncle Jianfei, Uncle Jianfei, someone help! Help! Uncle Jianfei has fainted!"

The shout came from a young man named Dazhuang. Upon hearing the shout, Mu Chunping and the others quickly picked up Ningbao and ran over.

What Mu Chunping and the others saw was Lin Jianfei lying on the ground with a normal but lifeless face.

What Ning Bao saw was that Lin Jianfei's brow was covered with black energy. At this moment, Lin Jianfei's life force was weak. Ning Bao did not dare to delay and immediately took out a talisman and pressed it on Lin Jianfei's brow.

The talisman burned and turned to ashes the moment it touched Lin Jianfei's forehead.

Seeing Ning Bao's actions, Mu Chunping and the others guessed that Lin Jianfei had encountered something unclean. Shen Junshan immediately looked at Dazhuang, who had been the first to notice something was wrong with Lin Jianfei, and asked...

"Dazhuang, have you been with Jianfei the whole time? Do you know where Jianfei just went?"

Dazhuang nodded and then shook his head.

"I was basically with Uncle Jianfei today, except that I had a stomachache and went to the outhouse. When I left, Uncle Jianfei was gathering firewood to use for grilling fish later."

I just got back and saw Uncle Jianfei carrying firewood back, but he collapsed to the ground as soon as he put the firewood down.

"I'll go take a look." Shen Junshan was about to go to the place where Lin Jianfei had just gathered firewood to check.

"No! Uncle, don't go!" Ning Bao shouted without even looking up.

"Uncle, this ghost is very powerful. You should all stay away from him; it's bad for your health."
