The young fat Taoist priest also realized that he had lost his composure. His round face turned slightly red and he looked very honest.
The fat young Taoist priest immediately bowed to Zhang Hulan, coughed twice and said, "Ahem... my two junior brothers are really naughty. Their behavior just now was inappropriate. I'm sorry to have made you laugh."
Zhang Hulan smiled, her eyes full of tolerance, and she suppressed her laughter and responded, "It's okay, the two young Taoist priests are innocent and very cute."
As she said that, she turned around and shouted, "Yueyue, little soldier, return the whisk to the young Taoist priest."
After hearing this, Zhang Xinyue and Zhang Xiaobing immediately stepped forward and handed over the whisk.
After the little Taoist boy took the whisk, he stared at Zhang Xinyue and asked, "Do you have any more candy?"
Zhang Xinyue tilted her head and asked curiously, "What's the matter? You still want to eat candy? Is the candy I gave you delicious?"
The little Taoist boy smiled, revealing two small canine teeth, "Give me some candy, and I'll draw you a talisman to keep you safe, how about that?"
Zhang Xinyue was very tempted and asked hurriedly, "How many candies do I need to exchange for a lucky charm?"
The little Taoist boy stretched out his chubby little hand, opened his palm and shook it, "Five."
Zhang Xinyue wrinkled her small nose and began to bargain, "Three."
"Deal." The little Taoist boy agreed without hesitation, and Zhang Xinyue was a little surprised by his straightforwardness.
Seeing that the little Taoist agreed so readily, Zhang Xinyue felt that she might be at a disadvantage, so she asked tentatively: "How about two?"
When the little Taoist boy heard this, he immediately put away his smile and said seriously: "People must keep their word. We have agreed on three candies, and we cannot change it casually. This is the rule."
At this time, the fat young Taoist priest smiled and interrupted: "Little layman, I have a ready-made amulet here, how about we exchange it?"
"Brother, how could you do this?" The little Taoist boy widened his eyes, like an angry little beast, staring at the fat Taoist priest with grief and indignation, "You actually stole my business."
Zhang Xinyue's eyes lit up, and she looked at the fat Taoist priest and asked, "Can those candies be exchanged for a peace charm?"
The fat Taoist priest smiled and replied, "Two will do."
Zhang Xinyue turned around and looked at the little Taoist boy, raised her eyebrows, and said with a hint of pride, "Look, your senior brother can be exchanged for two candies, what do you say?"
The little Taoist boy was so angry that his face turned red, his cheeks puffed up, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Humph, I'll give you a candy in exchange."
"Deal." Zhang Xinyue agreed with a smile, and she looked so happy.
The fat Taoist priest was a little dumbfounded, "How could you do this?"
The little Taoist boy answered confidently: "What's wrong with fair competition? You were the one who broke the rules first."
The little Taoist boy snorted complacently, "Humph, I will never give you anything delicious in the future. Who told you to snatch it from me?"
Then, the little Taoist boy said to Zhang Xinyue: "Wait, I will draw a talisman for you, don't leave."
"Wait..." Zhang Xinyue hurriedly stopped the little Taoist boy who was about to run away and said, "I want a few more. I want to bring one for each of my family members. I want..."
As she spoke, she counted the number of people traveling with her, then touched the candy in her pocket. Her brows gradually furrowed as she realized that there was not enough candy.
She looked at Zhang Xiaobing and said anxiously, "Brother Xiaobing, take out all the candies. Let's buy some amulets for grandpa, grandma, uncle and aunt."
Zhang Xiaobing took out all his candies without saying a word. Zhang Xinyue counted them, but it was still not enough.
Before Zhang Xinyue could speak, Shanzi and Zhang Xinyao seemed to have guessed her thoughts and took out their candies. Zhang Xinyue counted out twenty candies and handed them to the little Taoist boy, "I want twenty."
The eyes of the little Taoist boy and the fat Taoist priest lit up at the same time. The fat Taoist priest said to the little Taoist boy, "Daohe, you can't write so much by yourself. Give me some, I will help you write, don't be stubborn."
Another little Taoist boy also said quickly: "I can also help you write a few. The more people there are, the faster we can write. We can't keep you waiting for too long."
"No need, I can write it myself." Daohe said angrily.
"Are you sure you don't want to give me a few?" The fat Taoist asked with a threatening tone.
Another little Taoist boy also threatened: "If you don't give me a share, I will tell the master, and then you will be in trouble."
The little Taoist boy named Daohe had a frustrated look on his face and pouted, but he had no choice but to compromise, "You each have five, and I'll have ten. If it works, it works. If not, then none of us can think about it."
"Deal." The two Taoist priests, one big and one small, agreed immediately.
The fat Taoist priest ordered, "Daoxu, go get some pen, ink, and paper. We'll paint for the young layman here. Hurry up."
"Okay, senior brother!" The little Taoist boy Daoxu ran, clacking and clacking to get something. The little figure ran very fast and came back soon, holding a bunch of things in his arms, panting from exhaustion.
Dao He said, "My brother and I will draw the picture, Dao Xu, you will fold the talisman paper."
After the three of them finished their division of labor, Daohe and the fat Taoist priest lay on the ground and began to draw talismans, while Daoxu carefully blew the drawn talisman paper dry and then carefully folded it into a triangle.
As they had to wait for the Taoist priest to draw talismans for them, Zhang Hulan and her companions had to step aside and let other pilgrims enter the Taoist temple first.
Zhang Xinyue squatted on the ground, staring at Daohe's talismans without blinking, her eyes full of curiosity. She thought the talismans drawn by Daohe were particularly beautiful.
"Your name is Daohe?" Zhang Xinyue couldn't help but ask.
Daohe casually replied while drawing the talisman: “Yes!”
"My name is Zhang Xinyue." Zhang Xinyue introduced herself with a smile.
