Chapter 964 Oh wow, so verbose~
Song Chunxue felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
But she understood that Master Han disapproved of the former philandering Lord Zhao.
After all, Master Han is now a powerful demon who has attained enlightenment. He has entered the Taoist sect, which is somewhat similar to Master Zhang.
Although her senior brother didn't say much, she had noticed how much they disliked that kind of place when Liu Niang took her there last time.
Not to mention, Lord Zhao is still clamoring to go.
If their relationship was distant in the past, Master Han wouldn't have said anything, but things are different now.
They've spent so much time together, their relationship is much closer than before.
Besides, she felt that Master Han had long disliked Lord Zhao for this, and was just looking for an opportunity to teach him a lesson. Now that he had the chance, how could he let it go?
Song Chunxue could only tell her senior brother to pray for his own good fortune.
She turned around and opened the door shakily.
"Song Chunxue, are you still my junior brother? This old snake will kill me! My parents don't care if I go to brothels, so why should he care?"
Lord Zhao shouted angrily, "Our master never interfered. He knows I know my limits. I didn't touch the girl. Can't I even look?"
He was furious and pointed at Master Han, cursing, "Han Qingfeng, don't be like the magistrate who can set fires while forbidding the common people to light lamps! I haven't seen a beauty in ages, can't I even go out for a drink with someone?"
"If I were like you, still clinging to an old flame, why would I need to go to a place like that... Ouch... Han Qingfeng, don't go too far, I... Ah! Han Qingfeng, I'll kill you!"
Song Chunxue climbed out of the house, quickly closed the door, and jumped over the wall into the courtyard. She shouted to the young disciple who was eavesdropping at the door, "Hurry up, hurry up. If you don't want to get into trouble, come with me to the street to buy some good food. We'll eat on the street for lunch today."
Wuji and Yebai ran the fastest.
"Let's go, let's go quickly. Back then, Master took us to such a place. If Master Han finds out, wouldn't he skin us alive?"
"Hurry up and get out of here, it's good to avoid watching the excitement."
“You’re right. I just sensed a murderous aura. We’d better make a run for it.” Tu Dan’er said with regret, “I was thinking of going to the brothel to see what the courtesan looks like, but then I thought, it’s better to eat a pig’s trotter.”
"You're making my mouth water! I've heard there's a lot of delicious food here. Let's try it all, so our trip won't be in vain." Changyun's face jiggled as he ran, but his breathing was unaffected. "We've seen all sorts of demons and monsters in just a few days. It's so exciting!"
“By the way, I heard there’s a theatrical troupe around here, maybe on the main street. Let’s go check it out. We won’t get beaten up for watching a play, right?” Changfeng stretched out his arms and pushed Changyun. “We can also buy some local pastries on the way back for Master to try.”
Master Zhang chuckled, "Want to go back?"
Changfeng smiled sheepishly, "We've already made Qingyun Temple our home. To be honest, after being away for so long, I'm quite homesick."
“Yes, I thought about it too.” Tudan’er’s eyes reddened as he spoke. “I also miss Aunt Xia’s jiaotuan, sob sob, and Dabai and Xiaobai, I wonder if they can have a little Xiaobai.”
Everyone was both amused and exasperated by these words.
"Ahem, alright," Master Zhang tapped the back of his head with his whisk. "You're so glib. Today I'm taking you to eat the famous local hot pot, which is what we call boiled soup. People here love spicy food, would you like to try it?"
"Yes, of course I want to try it. I really like spicy food. It makes me feel refreshed and invigorated."
"Haha, you can even make things up here, that's pretty impressive."
"Of course! Hahaha, it's all because of that country bumpkin's influence, hahaha~"
Everyone walked out of the Zhao residence chatting and laughing, quickly forgetting about Lord Zhao being tortured.
We arrived at a restaurant that specializes in hot pot; it was bustling and filled with smoke and flames.
Everyone noticed a hole in the middle of the wooden table, through which a stove made of mud and sand could be added to the side, making it very convenient.
Something was simmering in a big pot, bubbling away. The soup smelled wonderful, and Changyun couldn't help but sip his saliva to avoid spilling it and making a fool of himself.
"Please come this way, esteemed guests. We have freshly slaughtered beef here..."
"No, no, no, no, we can't have beef, and not even butter. We are Taoist practitioners, we can't eat beef. Are you trying to get us punished by our patriarch?" Tu Dan'er turned and walked out. "It seems we can't enjoy this dish. Let's go eat something else."
"Oh... please don't rush off, sir. It was my fault for being careless. Actually, we also have dishes made with clear oil, without any butter. You can also choose your own dishes; we'll serve whatever you want to eat."
The children then sat down.
They broke out in a cold sweat when they heard the words "freshly slaughtered cattle".
Tu Dan'er was still a little worried. "Waiter, don't try to fool us. If we eat here and then go back home vomiting and having diarrhea, we'll definitely turn the place upside down. It's a heinous crime to cause someone to break their vows. Have you thought this through?"
The waiter assured him repeatedly, "Don't worry, absolutely not. I'll go to the back and keep an eye on it; not a single bit will stick."
Wuji followed behind the waiter, saying, "I'll go with you. But the knives you use to cut other dishes can't be the ones that have been used to cut beef."
These words made the customers eating nearby chuckle.
"These kids from out of town are really funny. If they don't eat beef, what kind of hot pot do they eat?"
"Why can't you eat it? You can eat chicken, duck, and fish. There's no need to eat beef."
"But butter is delicious."
"Mind your own business, you idiot."
Song Chunxue sat on the wet street, feeling soaked all over. Listening to their gentle voices and looking at the two-story wooden houses around her, she felt a sense of emotion.
"Senior brother, they seem so relaxed, even their speech is leisurely. And I've noticed that the people here live quite well, there are very few beggars, after all, they can fill their stomachs by digging for wild vegetables in the mountains. If our descendants could live on such land, how peaceful it would be."
Master Zhang laughed, "You learn pretty quickly, why don't you buy a courtyard here?"
Song Chunxue was taken aback. "Oh, right? I can come often in the future. Will you come?"
“Come on, the Taoist temples on Qingcheng Mountain are very famous. Would you like to go and take a look?” Tudan handed the bamboo chopsticks to Song Chunxue. “Uncle, look how beautiful their chopsticks are. When eating hot dishes like this, you need long chopsticks so you don’t get burned. People from the South really know how to enjoy life.”
Changfeng and Changyun were laughing so hard, "Stop trying to imitate other people's way of speaking, it's so dry. Listen to them, they speak so beautifully."
"Mind your own business, you silly brat. You can't even shut your mouth when it comes to food." Tu Dan'er picked up the rice wine dumplings that Master Zhang had ordered and couldn't help but slur his words, "Master, you're so skilled! How did you know I wanted to eat this? It's so delicious!"
"Thump!"
He was hit by a whisk.
"Hurry up and eat, stop nagging."
"..."
Soon, everyone realized what was happening and laughed in unison, "Oh dear, so long-winded!"
P.S.: It's rare for me to make someone laugh.
