The golden rays of the sun shine into the deep forest, casting a dim glow on the moss.
The newcomer smiled at everyone and waved his hand. Big Brain Axe immediately ran to the other side and rubbed the man's leg like a spoiled child, so docile that he didn't seem like the king of the forest.
"My name is Hechuan, fellow Taoist...are you okay?"
"No, nothing."
As the old Taoist priest said this, he was about to get up, but his hands and feet were extremely weak.
Xihe quickly stepped forward to support him, and was very dissatisfied with Hechuan's behavior of not tying up his pet properly and letting it out to scare people: "Hechuan, right? Next time, remember to tie up your pet. It's not good if it scares people!"
A real wild beast would definitely pounce on people if it saw them, but this one is so docile, it looks like it's domesticated.
He Chuan nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, thank you for your reminder. I will definitely keep it in mind next time. Although Xiaobao can be a bit naughty, he never kills anyone. Besides, this mountain is steep and treacherous, so few people come here. I'll let him play on his own for a while... Where are you three going?"
Xihe then said to cross the mountain and go to the next town.
He Chuan clapped his hands together: "So, what a coincidence!"
Three people: ???
He Chuan then parted the grass and led the three of them forward, explaining as they walked, "I just met an old man in the mountains. He got lost while collecting herbs and accidentally broke his leg. I'm busy and can't get away... It's great to have you three here with me."
Three people: "..."
Aren’t the mountains steep and rarely visited?
And don't you see that the three of us are old and weak? You actually asked us to lead the others down the mountain...
The road in the mountains was rugged. After walking for half an hour, we stopped at a place on the mountainside.
The hot sunlight was shining overhead. The trees were sparse here, and everyone saw at a glance the fat old man lying on a big rock, holding his thigh and screaming "Ouch, Ouch".
He had a mustache, a large flowered jacket, and his facial features were so fat that they were squeezed out of shape.
Yuanbao tugged at Xihe's sleeve and whispered in her ear, "Senior Sister, he's just a fool with too much money... Woo woo."
Xihe covered his mouth with one hand, his face numb. Oh my god, it was really a fate that we met. He could even run into Mr. Zhang in the deep mountains and old forests, the unlucky guy who had been cheated by the original owner... Mr. Zhang was forty-six years old this year. He was in the silk business and had a large family and a huge business.
I don’t know if it’s because of bad feng shui or if there’s something wrong with me, but I still have no children.
He consulted doctors, tried all kinds of folk remedies, and had his concubine carry the baby from one room to another... but there was still no movement in any room. He was so worried that he sighed every day and couldn't sleep.
The clan urged him to establish a child from the side branch... Then there must be someone to inherit the family business.
Mr. Zhang refused to agree to anything. Why should he give away the family property he had worked so hard to earn? But having no children was indeed a major drawback.
So he ran into the original owner and asked her if she had any recipe that could make people have a baby.
Xihe: ...
You should go to a Bodhisattva for this kind of thing. Haven't you heard of Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth? You actually went to a Taoist priest, who didn't care whether you could have children or not.
Really, if I don’t lie to you, who else would I lie to?
Hechuan stepped forward and explained the whole story.
Mr. Zhang nodded repeatedly, looked at the three people, and squeezed out tears: "Thank you for your trouble. I will definitely repay you well after I get down the mountain... Eh? This little Taoist friend, have we met somewhere before?"
He opened his eyes wide and stared at Yuanbao.
The old Taoist priest was full of confusion. Before he could ask, Mr. Zhang looked at him and said, "Hey, is that Taoist Master Yuzhen? Hmm, he looks old, ugly, and short. He doesn't look like him."
