Chapter 82 The Shameless Chicken Thief
Lin Hai, who was following Lin Jianfei, was overjoyed to hear about the river.
"A river? I haven't seen a river in ages. It would be wonderful if there were one."
"Ningbao, Uncle is the best at catching fish. I'll catch some for you to eat later. We'll have grilled fish for lunch."
Ningbao checked the time. Oh dear! No wonder she felt a little hungry; it was almost noon. Clutching her little compass, she strode forward on her short legs.
"Alright, it's almost noon, let's set off quickly. We'll have grilled fish for lunch today."
Slurp!
Thinking of grilled fish, Ningbao couldn't help but drool. She had eaten grilled fish before, especially the fish grilled by her third senior brother, which was delicious in color, aroma and taste.
Unfortunately, my third senior brother went down the mountain to Jiangnan last year to inherit the family business, and I haven't been able to eat such delicious fish since then.
Speaking of this, Ning Bao was very depressed. There were originally many people on Sanqing Mountain, including 81 disciples who had just entered the sect.
That means she has eighty-one senior brothers.
Most of her senior brothers were picked up by their master when he went down the mountain, but some of them were direct descendants of various wealthy and powerful families.
That is, the kind of people whose identities are not simple, as mentioned by the master.
Since last year, my fellow disciples have been persuaded by our master to come down the mountain one after another. Since they came down the mountain, the drought in the border region has become more and more serious.
The situation at Sanqing Taoist Temple was getting worse and worse, and by this spring, only the gatekeeper Lao Fan and his master and apprentice remained.
Ningbao guessed that her master must have foreseen that the Sanqing Taoist Temple or the border region would end up like this, which is why he disbanded the temple in advance and told his fellow disciples to fend for themselves.
And even though she's the youngest, her master has taken good care of her, and Ningbao is very satisfied with her life now.
Because she is also a baby who has many family members who love her.
When her fellow disciples were still around, they all doted on her. If it weren't for their master keeping a close eye on her, she might not even have had the chance to get out of bed.
But the love my senior classmates showed me was different from the love my grandparents and parents showed me now.
She couldn't explain why, but she just felt it was different.
Oh dear! I wonder how her master is doing?
I suddenly miss that proud little old man...
"Who? Who stole this old woman's chicken? If you've got the guts, get out here right now, or I'll break your legs!"
At this moment, the Taoist priest Sanqing, whom Ning Bao was thinking about, was hiding in the bushes with Lao Fan in a very disheveled state.
Looking at the old woman at the foot of the mountain, who was baring her teeth and brandishing her claws, Master Sanqing couldn't help but complain to Old Fan beside him.
"Look at you, look at you! I told you that chicken was inedible, but you insisted that it was ownerless. Now look what happened, the chicken hasn't even been eaten yet and people are pointing fingers at you and cursing you."
Old Fan awkwardly touched his nose.
"How was I supposed to know that this chicken was domesticated when it was running around so happily in the woods?"
Besides, whose fault is it if she doesn't take good care of the chickens? Anyway, we caught these chickens in the woods; the woods belong to everyone, whoever catches them owns them.
"Alright, it's you two again. Yesterday you stole my undergarment and today you're stealing chickens. You two shameless chicken thieves!"
The old woman who had been shouting and cursing not far away heard the commotion and used a stick to pry open the bushes, where she saw the Taoist priest Sanqing and Lao Fan hiding inside.
Upon hearing the old woman recount yesterday's events, both of them blushed slightly. The Taoist priest, Sanqing, stroked his beard and looked at the old woman.
"How can you be so unreasonable, woman?"
I told you about that yesterday...we found that piece of cloth. It looked pretty good, so we decided to keep it to make handkerchiefs. Who knew it was...your!
Master Sanqing got angry when he talked about this. He and Lao Fan knew how to use light-footed kung fu and were fast on their feet. They arrived at a beautiful mountain village with plenty of water after only a few days.
The two built a thatched hut on a hillside with excellent feng shui, intending to stay there for a while and take a good rest.
Yesterday, their thatched hut was finally completed, and the two went into the mountains to hunt some wild game to celebrate.
After hunting, they took the game to the nearby stream to process it. Unexpectedly, as soon as they got there, they saw a piece of cloth that looked like a handkerchief lying on the ground.
Master Sanqing saw that the cloth was of good quality and even had flowers embroidered on it, but there were a few straps on it that looked a bit in the way.
He simply took out a dagger and cut off the straps of the men. The cut straps were just the right amount to tie up rabbits and pheasants. He then put the handkerchief he had just modified into his pocket.
He was thinking that he had a beautiful little apprentice at home, and this handkerchief looked nice; he could use it as a gift when he met Ningbao in the future.
Just as he finished processing the rabbit and pheasant and was carrying the rabbit up the hillside with the ribbon he had just cut, he saw a brightly dressed old woman coming to look for clothes.
The old woman saw him and walked over in a affected, swaying manner.
"Hey buddy, I accidentally dropped a piece of clothing while I was doing laundry here. I don't know if you saw it?"
clothing?
