Chapter 38 Li Jin's Business Ability
038 Li Jin's Business Ability
Wang and his party asked all kinds of questions along the way, and Xiang Jiannan really couldn't control his admiration for himself. He answered intermittently as the carriage bumped along, and in his heart he kept thinking about what happened in Mr. Li's home.
Mr. Li was awakened by the pain. After he killed the black spirit with one blow, he heard him groaning in the room. He asked who tied him up and threw him on the ground. He was angry but could not speak loudly.
My mouth hurts and my right cheek is badly swollen. Whenever I open my mouth, I feel a burning sensation.
After Xiang Jiannan and Wang Yixing helped him up from the ground, he gave a grateful look and then said he wanted to drink some rice soup.
After the chains on his body were untied, Mr. Li felt extremely hungry. The thought of meat made him feel nauseous and he just wanted something light.
You still have room for food in your mouth. Xiang Jiannan and Wang Yihang kept silent in tacit agreement. It was not until Butler Zhao and his men hurried in from outside that they started talking. The two of them had already noticed that there were servants sneaking around outside the house, and they were both holding back a grudge:
"Butler Zhao has worked so hard."
"That move of catching a turtle in a jar just now was a masterstroke!"
"Yihang, you can't say that"
After being teased by Wang Yihang and Xiang Jiannan, Butler Zhao blushed, but he was the butler of a wealthy family after all, so he had a strong mentality. He waited until Wang and Xiang finished venting before he complimented them: "Young Taoist priest, your cultivation is indeed extraordinary. Please go to the back hall to rest first. We will prepare wine and food, and it won't be too late to sit down and chat slowly."
There was no word of gratitude here. The only thing I wanted to do was to postpone the matter. As soon as we sat down at the table, I, Zhao, would have run away. Since the master has woken up, he should be the one to speak on the scene. Even if he is not physically fit, it will not be my turn to sit at the table and entertain the guests.
What he did before was a bit extreme, but in the final analysis, it was out of trust in the young Taoist priest. Who knew that the servants were so quick and picked up the lock as soon as they went out. Once the lock is locked, it is very difficult to open it.
"No need, we two still have things to do."
After telling Mr. Li what happened, Xiang Jiannan no longer wanted to stay in Li's house for free meals. He felt that what happened next was dispensable. Mr. Li was so weak that it was meaningless to have dinner with others. He had come here today to ask about the donation issue for his master, but now it seemed that there was nothing to talk about.
After suffering such a disaster, it would be too much to ask for money from others. Mr. Li has just recovered to normal, how can he have the nerve to ask for such things? Unless someone takes the initiative to bring it up, Xiang Jiannan will never destroy his image.
Compared with my master, I still can't let go.
"Master, we are about to reach the Taoist temple."
At first, Wang and his party couldn't understand why Xiang Jiannan refused to eat at Li's house. It was not until Butler Zhao sent them to the door and brought out a plate of silver that their depression disappeared.
The official's family is generous. Compared with the plate that the county magistrate brought last time, it feels about the same. With so much silver, one ingot is enough for himself.
"Go around the ditch in front of the temple. It's not advisable to pass by it recently."
Getting up from the donkey cart and seeing Ping'an Temple, Xiang Jiannan first gave instructions to Wang and his party.
Butler Zhao did not accept all the silver he brought, and later gave some to Wang and his party. The amount was not much, but it was enough to make him happy for a long time. After coming to this world, he cared less and less about money. It might be related to the environment he lived in. He stayed in the Taoist temple all day and did not need much money. His daily expenses were basically taken care of by his master.
I had never been particular about clothing or housing. Ever since the popularity of Ping'an Temple increased, the only thing that had worried me, the diet, has been greatly improved. My master and I have meat every now and then, and we live a very comfortable life.
"Okay, lie down for a while."
At this time, Wang Yihang had completely become a little fan of Xiang Jiannan. He was very happy driving the donkey cart. The gains from this trip were far greater than his expectations. He had already called Xiang Jiannan without the nickname. In his excitement, he could not help but look back:
"Let's take the side path. Ouch, you beast!"
As the ground beneath him suddenly bumped, Xiang Jiannan felt as if he was thrown hard. He was able to stand up again only when the donkey cart came to a complete stop.
As soon as I lay down, I heard Wang Yixing roar, saying that it was really difficult for him to walk on such a wide road.
"Li Jin!"
As soon as he got off the car, Xiang Jiannan saw an old acquaintance. He didn't expect Li Jin to appear at this moment. The donkey pulling the cart must have been frightened because of him. After all, this old man looked very lethal.
The people from the Demon-Suppressing Division carry an aura wherever they go. To say that they are ferocious and evil is not quite appropriate.
"Little Taoist priest, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Li Jin patted the donkey's head with his hand and said with a smile, "I was just on my way to Ping An Temple and happened to run into it."
This is just right!
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
Because of the aura emanating from Li Jin, Wang and his party did not dare to say much, and they did not know the identity of the person in front of them. It seemed that they had seen him before in Ping'an Temple. Anyone who could interact with the young Taoist priest must not be an ordinary person.
Just now he suddenly jumped out from the side of the road and called Li Jin "bastard". Actually he wanted to curse Li Jin.
Fortunately, I glanced at him quickly enough. If I hadn't, the man in front of me would definitely not let me off after knowing it.
"Then together."
Gesturing to Wang and his party to go back on their own, Xiang Jiannan pushed the donkey cart from behind. He meant to lend a hand, but he didn't expect to cause trouble again.
Perhaps it had just reacted to what happened to Li Jin. After Xiang Jiannan gave it a strong push, the donkey pulling the cart suddenly snorted in surprise, then stepped on all fours and began to run forward like crazy.
Logically speaking, the road ahead was enough for it to expend its energy, but unfortunately, before Wang and his entourage could sit firmly, the donkey cart suddenly started. After pulling the reins several times and trying to get half of the cart in place, they could only get their butts in place. In this way, the man and the donkey rushed forward amid the calls of each other, which made Xiang Jiannan and Li Jin dumbfounded at the same time.
"He can handle it."
As he spoke, he pointed to the path ahead and Xiang Jiannan prayed silently for Wang and his party in his heart. Donkeys that get angry are usually difficult to deal with. What he did just now was unintentional. Who would have thought that the little donkey would be so sensitive.
After walking around for a long time, Xiang Jiannan and Li Jin arrived at Ping'an Temple. Xiang Jiannan saw that his master was busy in the incense hall. Seeing that he had no time to spare for the two people to come in, he had to signal them to wait for a while. The disciple took very little time to go back and forth, and Mr. Li was a straightforward person after all.
"Why did you suddenly leave in the county town a few days ago?"
Standing at the gate of the Taoist temple with Xiang Jiannan, Li Jin recalled the news from the temple after he left the county town. A young man defeated the Dafa monk, and it seemed to be related to the Taoists next door.
This rumor made the monks feel uneasy, and coupled with the unexplained rain that night, they all became alert for a while.
Taoguo Yipin, what a strange little Taoist priest.
