Helpless, I had to ask Zhao Xi: "Is there any cattle farm nearby?"
Zhao Xi thought for a moment and said, "Yes, go out, turn left, and walk 30 meters. ——By the way, for Jiaxing Zongzi, you might have to go to the city center. Remember the couple we met when we went to Jiaxing together?"
I thought about the couple I met when I went to Jiaxing...ah! I remembered!
"Are you talking about Mr. and Mrs. Chen Weiliang?"
"Yes! They have opened a Jiaxing Zongzi shop in Jiangzhou now. Business is booming. Whenever I want to eat Zongzi, I go there and sit for a while."
"Okay. As for Huo Liang's matter, we'll discuss it tonight. I'm going out now, so you can talk to Xiaomo for a while." Actually, I was worried that the little ghost would appear again to scare Zhao Xi after I left, but with Su Xiaoniu by my side, I didn't have to worry. Just kidding, Su Xiaoniu is a terrifying female ghost herself. Who dares to shout in front of her? Believe it or not, I'll eat you in a minute!
I left the villa and followed Zhao Xi's instructions. I went out, turned left, and walked about 30 meters. Sure enough, I saw a farmhouse with a cow in the yard. A woman was milking her, so I went up to her and asked, "Auntie, how much is your milk per pound?"
The woman gave me a look I'll never forget. It was like she was looking at a pervert... I was speechless. What did I say wrong? I buy milk from her cow, so why is she looking at me like that?
"Young man, I think you look like a decent person, so how come you are so ignorant?" the woman rolled her eyes.
I said depressedly, "What? What's wrong with me? I just want to buy some milk. My girlfriend wants to drink pure milk, so please, Auntie, please sell it to me! Otherwise, she will beat me to death!"
Seeing my sincerity, the woman nodded and said, "Alright, alright, it's no big deal. Come in."
I thanked her and went inside. I followed the woman to the main room, but then she closed the door and started taking off her clothes. The more I watched, the more I felt something was wrong. I was buying milk from her cow, so why was she taking off her clothes?
Seeing her about to take off her bra, revealing a pile of fat flesh, I was so scared that I quickly stopped her and said, "Auntie! Why are you taking off your clothes?"
"Don't you want milk? How can I give you milk if I don't take off my clothes?"
Oh My God……
"Auntie, I think you misunderstood. I want the milk from the cow in your yard..." I hurriedly explained.
"You kid... why didn't you tell me earlier! You made me excited for nothing!" She glared at me fiercely and started to put on her clothes.
Am I doing something wrong?
After I got the milk, the old lady didn't take my money. I thanked her and left. But as I was leaving, I saw a Bagua pattern on the wall of her house, in the middle of the gate. I thought this old lady and her family must also be believers in Taoism, right?
I didn't think much of it and took a taxi to the city center. After asking passersby, I quickly found this unique Jiaxing Zongzi shop in Jiangzhou. From a distance, I could see Chen Weiliang and his wife busy at work, and a long line of customers formed. I couldn't keep Su Xiaoniu waiting any longer, so I bravely skipped the line and quietly ran inside to greet Chen Weiliang and his wife. At first, they didn't react, but soon they recognized me.
As soon as they saw it was me, the couple was so excited that they asked me about my well-being, which made me feel flattered. They even almost stopped doing business outside. In order not to affect their business, I just said that I came to buy some rice dumplings and let's make an appointment to chat next time.
Chen Weiliang and his wife nodded in agreement. They asked me where I lived and my contact information. I didn't have a cell phone, so I said I'd go see Zhao Xi when I had time and asked her to send me a message. I'd come over. Then they came out with a bag of a dozen hot rice dumplings.
Apparently, they didn't charge me.
I took a taxi back to Zhao Xi's villa, but along the way, I found that many people's doors here had Bagua patterns pasted on them, which was a bit similar to the house of the aunt who raised cows at that time. I asked the driver, do all the people here believe in Taoism?
The taxi driver replied, "I don't think so. I remember coming here with my father when I was very young. Back then, it looked like an abandoned mass grave... It must have been fifty or sixty years ago. Now, with new houses built on it, it's unrecognizable. As for the Bagua pattern on their door, it seems it's because a Taoist priest passed by and said that this place has bad feng shui and might bring disaster. If it wasn't resolved, many people would die. The only way to circumvent this is to stick a Bagua pattern on the door."
I was surprised and asked, "Did they all believe it?"
The driver said, "This Taoist priest is very influential. It's said that he was privately invited by the mayor of Jiangzhou to help with something, but no one knows what it was. Most people in Jiangzhou believe in Buddhism and Taoism, and since they're dealing with such an influential Taoist priest, their credibility is self-evident."
"That Taoist priest is so awesome? What's his name? I must pay him a visit if I get a chance!"
"I heard from them... I think his name is Taoist Wuxu. It might be difficult for you to meet him! No one can predict his whereabouts. He can be found almost everywhere in the world... But his hometown is in Changbai Mountain. If you're lucky, you might be able to run into him."
I was stunned. Taoist Wuxu? Isn't that one of the Four Elders of Yin and Yang? Speaking of which, I've only met Taoist Wuxie, Taoist Wuzhen, and Taoist Wushan so far, but I've never met Taoist Wuxu.
If you have the chance, you must visit Changbai Mountain!
