The next morning, Wu Er decided to go into town again.
Even though I encountered such a ghostly thing last night, I still have to go into the city.
I was in such a rush yesterday that I only bought a hoe and haven't even started planting seeds yet.
Moreover, the hoe was broken. I thought I could just replace the handle and it would work, but the iron head was also broken.
Last night it was dark and I couldn't see clearly, so I brought this broken hoe back with me.
Before he left the temple, a group of his fellow disciples stopped him, as he had returned too late the day before and had worried the young man terribly.
Xiao Mingmu, in particular, was the loudest, clamoring to go down the mountain with Wu Er.
However, Wu Er eventually managed to subdue him.
Because among the group of junior brothers and sisters, only Xiao Mingmu is somewhat sensible. If he really goes down the mountain with Wu Er, there will be no one to take care of the other junior brothers and sisters.
The weather is fine today, with clear skies and no clouds.
Wu Er went down the mountain early this time, intending to go down early and return before noon.
After all, I encountered strange things yesterday when I came back late. Today, I came back at noon when the yang energy is at its peak, so I figured I wouldn't encounter any demons or monsters.
Wu Er had a very smooth journey, without encountering anything strange or even a stumbling block.
I went to town smoothly, went to the market smoothly, and bought things smoothly.
Moreover, bargaining was much easier today, and I even saved a lot of money after a round of haggling.
In the market, Wu Er held a hoe in his left hand and carried large and small bags on his shoulder.
"Hmm... what's missing?"
Although he bought a lot of things, Wu Er still felt something was missing and always wanted to buy some more.
After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't figure out what was missing.
Wu Er looked around, then reached into his pocket and squeezed the copper coins he had left for the day.
He whispered, "Today was really smooth; I actually have so much money left over after this trip."
In normal times, money is always tight, and I always have to be careful with my spending.
No matter how much he planned, he would still spend it all. Now that he had so little money left, Wu Er was really not used to it.
"Candy beans—so sweet!"
Just as Wu Er was thinking about what to do with the remaining money, a shout reached his ears.
It sells candy beans.
Upon hearing the shouts, Wu Er's gaze was drawn to the person selling candy beans.
The candy seller squatted on the ground with two baskets in front of him, filled with beans.
Just to clarify, what they were hawking was sugar beans, which are literally beans roasted in sugar, nothing else.
"Hey bro, how much for these candies?"
Wu Er approached the candy seller, squatted down with a bunch of things, and wanted to take some candy home.
The junior students usually eat a light diet and have never had any snacks since they were young.
I finally had some spare money today, so I thought I'd take some back to treat those little guys.
So, after some haggling, Wu Er stuffed a big bag of candy into his pocket.
Then he looked up at the sky and said, "It's time to go back."
After saying this, Wu Er picked up his bags and wanted to go back to the small temple.
"Ding-a-ling~"
However.
Just then, a clear bell rang out.
The sound of the bell was some distance away from Wu Er, but even so, it could be heard clearly.
He recognized that voice.
Wu Er's pupils constricted, his breathing became rapid, and his hazy memories from last night became clearer.
Especially the sound of the bell, and the golden bell that finally came into view.
Hearing the bell, Wu Er quickly turned his head away.
His eyes were wide open, trying to find the golden bell.
My gaze passed over the crowd, and my eyes went through the stalls.
From a distance, Wu Er spotted the golden bell.
Just as they were about to see it, the golden bell turned a corner and disappeared along with the person wearing the golden bell at the street corner.
Seeing the golden bell disappear around the corner, Wu Er followed after it, carrying his bags.
He followed the golden bell through the crowded streets, turned into a simple old alley, and crossed an old willow tree...
It's unclear how long they followed, but Wu Er kept heading towards more and more remote places.
When he saw the golden bell turn into a secluded alley, he didn't think much of it and followed it.
"Who are you? Why are you following me?"
After Wu Er turned into the alley, a question came from behind.
The voice was familiar; Wu Er vaguely remembered hearing it last night.
Upon hearing the question, Wu Er looked away from the golden bell.
As his gaze moved upwards, he clearly saw the owner of the golden bell.
This person must be a woman, a woman full of heroic spirit.
Sculpted, thin eyebrows, upturned eyes, and a tall, slender figure...
The woman was handsome, or rather, only handsome.
Describing her as gentle and beautiful would be quite inappropriate; her unique charm is truly captivating.
Faced with such a handsome and charming person, Wu Er was momentarily stunned.
"What is your purpose in following me, you mortal?"
The pretty woman raised an eyebrow and swayed slightly.
As he swayed, the golden bell also jingled.
"Ding-a-ling~"
The sound of bells echoed through the deserted alley, sounding exceptionally clear and crisp.
This sound woke Wu Er, who was still in a daze, and he blinked several times.
"Ah... young lady, I understand."
Although he had regained his senses, Wu Er was still a little dazed. When the girl asked him a question, he wanted to bow.
Unfortunately, he was covered in bundles, making it difficult for him to even bow or clasp his hands in greeting, let alone perform a proper greeting.
