Chapter 140 Question

Shi Xiaoliu looked at her and said to the neighbors with a smile, "Okay, I don't want her to endorse the book."

Shi Zelan smiled and said to the neighbors: "Thank you aunts and sisters-in-law for speaking up for me."

After the neighbors left, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at each other. Shi Xiaoliu sighed and said, "Sister Lan, shall we go to the Taoist temple and sit for a while in a few days?"

Shi Zelan slowly shook her head at him: "Master said that we are not old enough, so we should not go to the Taoist temple for the time being."

Shi Xiaoliu looked at her in disbelief: "A few days ago, my master said he would take us to the Taoist temple to sit for a while."

Shi Zelan put her hands over her face and said, "Yesterday, I asked Master if Taoism advocates a lifestyle of doing nothing and returning to nature."

Shi Xiaoliu stared at her and sighed, "You, talk too much.

My master said that the abbot of the Taoist temple knows how to make elixirs and perform spells, and he and his uncle are willing to have a casual conversation with him.

I had hoped that we could go and broaden our horizons if we had the chance. ”

"I just asked casually, but Master thought that my determination to cultivate was unstable."

Shi Xiaoliu said unhappily, "Master Uncle will take even the smallest matters of yours to heart."

Shi Zelan sighed and said, “My master has never paid this much attention to me, but my words this time made him think too much.

After a few days, he knew that I was just curious, so he arranged for us to go to the Taoist temple and sit for a while. ”

Shi Xiaoliu nodded: "I'm going to see if the medicine shops in the city are buying herbs. I want to sell some herbs."

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Shi Xiaoliu shook his head at her: "You stay in the yard, I'll be back soon."

After he finished speaking, he packed up the herbs, picked up his bag and walked out. Shi Zelan counted secretly: "One, two, three..."

Unfortunately, when she counted to "ten", Shi Xiaoliu did not even look back. Shi Zelan was so angry that she chased him out of the yard, and when she saw him, she walked even faster.

"Brother, come back early."

Shi Xiaoliu waved without turning back, and Shi Zelan stared at his back eagerly.

Aunt Liu from next door happened to pass by Shi Zelan and smiled when she saw her: "Xiao Lan, your brother will eventually get married. Do you have to follow him all the time?"

"Aunt Liu, where are you going now?"

"I'm going to buy some groceries. I'll talk to you later."

Aunt Liu left in a hurry, and Shi Zelan breathed a sigh of relief. Among the neighbors, Aunt Liu was the most kind-hearted. When she encountered good things, she would also arrange for the neighbors to go together.

Shi Zelan likes such a neighbor. By living with her, she can also learn more about the ways of the world.

Shi Zelan turned around and went back to the yard, closing the gate naturally. She bent down to pick up a fallen leaf from the ground, thought for a while, and then slapped an invisibility talisman on her body.

She rushed to the backyard, stepped on her toes and climbed up little by little, but before she could climb up twice, she fell down.

Shi Zelan took a breath. Last time she was able to stay in the air for a breath. If she practiced more, she would definitely be able to stay in the air for a breath longer this time.

She suddenly lost all desire to play and focused on practicing flying upwards. She would stop for a moment and then continue flying upwards.

Shi Zelan practiced back and forth for an hour. Her ability to stay in the air was sometimes effective and sometimes not, but she was not anxious.

The door to the front yard knocked, and she floated towards the front yard. When she was about to open the door, she hurriedly took off the invisibility talisman.

The courtyard door opened, and Shi Xiaoliu quickly closed it: "Sister Lan, is your cultivation not going well?"

Shi Zelan smelled the sweat on her body and took a step back: "Xiao Liu, I'll go change my clothes and come over."

Shi Zelan returned to the front yard. Shi Xiaoliu sat down at the table and called out to Shi Zelan: "Come, try the medicinal tea that others gave us."

Shi Zelan wrinkled her nose and shook her head to refuse: "I don't want to drink."

"Drink it. I drank it at the pharmacy and thought it tasted okay. I originally wanted to buy three cups to bring back.

The boss saw that the herbs I sold were good, so he gave me three cups directly. ”

Shi Zelan took the cup of medicinal tea with a bitter face and said to Shi Xiaoliu: "This taste is somewhat familiar."

"When the weather gets cold, the big pharmacies will make some anti-epidemic herbal tea for people who come to drink."

Shi Zelan was surprised and said, "The owner of the drugstore is very good at doing business."

Shi Xiaoliu nodded in agreement: "I didn't mean to take advantage of this kind of petty profit. I originally wanted to pay a few copper coins to buy medicinal tea.

But after my boss insisted on giving me three cups of medicinal tea, I decided to sell all the herbs I picked to him and no longer ask for prices from other stores. ”

Shi Zelan nodded and told Shi Xiaoliu about her own practice. After listening, Shi Xiaoliu also decided to give it a try.

Shi Zelan gave him a fallen leaf, and said to Shi Xiaoliu who had put on the invisibility charm, "Go to the backyard. It's too conspicuous in the front yard."

A leaf floated towards the backyard. Shi Zelan was about to follow it, but heard someone knocking on the yard door.

After Shi Zelan passed the message to Shi Xiaoliu, she went over to open the gate. When she saw the women standing at the gate, she was embarrassed to ask, "Aunts, sisters-in-law, what can I do for you?"

She felt that this group of people looked very unfamiliar, so she blocked the entrance to the yard.

"We heard that you sell red bean cakes and mung bean cakes, so we came to buy a few pounds to take home."

After Shi Zelan looked at their expressions, she smiled and shook her head: "Our family doesn't sell cakes."

"No. The people on your street are relatives of our Wang family. Their children said that your family sells cakes."

Shi Zelan reached out to close the courtyard door, but a middle-aged woman stepped forward to stop her: "Are you from outside the area?"

Shi Zelan looked up at her and listened to her continue to ask: "There are four people in your family, three boys and one girl?"

Shi Zelan looked at her calmly: "Are you the one who is investigating the case?"

The middle-aged woman was stunned for a moment, and Shi Zelan continued, "We outsiders rent a yard in the capital to live for a few days. Is that wrong?"

The middle-aged woman shook her head quickly. Shi Zelan stepped forward and closed the courtyard door, shouting loudly, "We don't sell cakes."

Aunt Liu from next door heard the noise and came out. She saw a group of people standing at the gate of the next yard, so she went over to take a look.

"Who are you?"

"We're here to buy cakes."

"There are no shops selling pancakes on our street. Go out of the alley and turn left. There are three pancake shops there."

"The Wang kid on our street said that the out-of-town tenants on your street are selling pancakes."

“Oh, let’s go.

You're on the wrong street. Go somewhere else.

This family is educated, and they speak softly to you so that they can be bullied easily.

But the landlord's son and father-in-law are old officials. If you evict their tenants, they won't be so easy to deal with. ”

Some women who don't like to cause trouble also wanted to back off at this time: "Let's go back.

There are many pancake shops on the street, let’s go to the street to buy bean cakes. ”

One person left, and the others looked at Aunt Liu standing nearby, then looked at each other and said, “Let’s go back and ask clearly.

Let's go, let's go somewhere else, we don't need a piece of cake or two. ”
