Taoist priest: "No hurry, wait until we get to a place with fewer people..."
In front, Shangguan Shu stopped at the door of a roasted lamb shop. Yue'er liked the roasted lamb from this shop the most. Not only did she like it, but many people liked it too. There was a long queue in front of the shop. Shangguan Shu took a deep breath and went to queue up.
He was waiting in line here, while the two brothers squatted on the street corner waiting. After a while, the man in the bamboo hat looked up at the Taoist priest and said plaintively, "Second brother, it smells so good!"
The Taoist priest was puzzled, "What?"
"I say, this mutton smells so good!" said the man in the bamboo hat. He swallowed his saliva and looked eagerly at the mutton in the shop assistant's hand. "How about we buy some to try?"
The Taoist frowned and scolded, "Is this the time to eat?"
The man in the bamboo hat deflated when he heard that. The Taoist priest seemed to sense his disappointment and comforted him, "Don't worry, fourth brother. Once this matter is resolved, I'll buy you another one!"
"All right……"
Shangguan Shu waited in line for a moment before he was able to buy the item. Seeing that he finally moved, the two brothers who were watching him at the street corner breathed a sigh of relief. Just as they were about to follow him, they discovered that Shangguan Shu had turned to the candied fruit shop across the street.
The man in the bamboo hat said angrily, "Eat, eat, eat! How can a grown man be so greedy? Even greedier than me!"
Taoist: ...It’s not easy for you to realize that you are greedy.
Finally, half an hour later, the Taoist priest and the man in the bamboo hat finally saw Shangguan Shu carrying large and small bags, walking to a tree, tying all the things on the horse's back, then climbing onto the horse, and go!
Gone...
The Taoist priest and the man in the bamboo hat were both stunned. The man in the bamboo hat said weakly, "Second brother, he rode away on his horse..."
The Taoist priest reacted and immediately said, "Why don't you chase after him!"
The two of them chased after him on foot.
The man and the horse did not go towards the palace, but went to the suburbs instead.
By the river, the grass is growing and the birds are singing in early spring.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, reflected on the river surface, casting ripples on the waves. The surrounding woods were pitch black. The Taoist priest and the man in the bamboo hat, with their hands on their hips, ran after them breathlessly, but found that the man had disappeared. Only the horse was left, stopping by the river and eating wild grass.
The Taoist frowned and looked around, puzzled, "Where's the person? Did he lose him?"
"That's not right, the horse is still here..."
The man in the bamboo hat almost collapsed to the ground, his mouth open, his face pale. Hearing this, he gasped for breath and said, "Ah? Did he jump into the river?"
The Taoist shook his head and said, "It must not be...", but he still walked towards the river.
