Chapter 40 Not bad, not stupid

Almost all the people watching melon-eating disappeared, leaving only two or three big cats and kittens.

Looking at this scene, the master and the disciples seemed a little unexpected. A disciple came close to the old man and asked anxiously in a low voice: "Master, what should I do? These people are all gone."

"Don't worry, aren't there a few more people here?"

At this time, almost all the trustees were gone. Xia Ru, who had been standing outside, finally came to the front. He reached out and patted Xia Yuan on the shoulder, "Brother Yuan, why are you still standing here? Are you thinking?" Spend your money to honor that Bodhisattva?"

"No way, I'm not that stupid." After saying that, Xia Yuan put his hand over his mouth and whispered to Xia Ru: "These people are obviously a group of liars."

Xia Ru was deeply convinced of this, and lowered his voice and said: "Uncle, I also think that these people are probably liars. How can there be any Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in this world? Those farmers in the village believe this, but I am a scholar. The so-called son is not He talks about strange things and confuses the gods. I absolutely do not believe in the theory of Bodhisattva's reincarnation."

"Well, I don't believe it either."

"That's good. Just don't believe me. My uncle just came here to remind you because he was afraid that you would be deceived. If you want to watch the excitement, just go ahead and watch. I will lead them back first."

After that, Xia Ru called his daughter and two sons and led them home.

"What should we do, Master? Several more people are gone."

"Why are you so anxious? There are only five left." The old man looked at the people around him. Apart from his apprentices and his trustees, there were only five left.

While they were talking, three more people helped the old and the young to leave.

"Aren't there two more people here?"

Xia Yuan saw that everyone had left, the atmosphere was a bit cold, and there was no excitement left, so he said to Zhao Yuerong: "Let's go home."

"If we don't come back, our chickens won't be saved yet."

"."

Xia Yuan really wants to know why you still miss your chicken.

Yes, he admitted that he had just encouraged Zhao Yuerong to go there, but that was just to fan the flames, and he was also sure that the old Bodhisattva could not save the chicken alive, so that his young daughter-in-law would not be so stupid as to believe everything.

But he really didn't expect that the people of the Ming Dynasty would be so pragmatic these days. They worshiped Bodhisattvas and kowtowed. This was no problem at all, and they wouldn't lose a piece of flesh anyway.

Pay money?

That doesn't work, the stove at home hasn't been turned off yet.

Then all the onlookers disappeared. This situation made people feel inexplicably pitiful about the old man. He was busy lighting fires and freezing ice, and ended up feeling lonely.

The poor Bodhisattva came to Xiajiazhuang and put on a show like a monkey, but the unscrupulous villagers took it for granted.

"It's useless if you go, that old man will definitely not help you save him, and even if he does, he won't be able to save you."

Zhao Yuerong hesitated for two seconds after hearing this, but still chose to believe in Bodhisattva and said seriously: "Bodhisattva will definitely save her life."

"Okay, okay, then go ahead."

"Yeah." Zhao Yuerong nodded, walked towards the old man with the chicken in his arms.

"Master, here we come, someone has finally taken the bait. Hey, why are you still holding a chicken?"

"Is this for us? But this chicken is a bit small."

"It would be nice to have chickens. At least our work is not in vain."

Several apprentices whispered, and when they saw Zhao Yuerong approaching, they immediately stopped. The old man still looked compassionate, and he did not forget his character. He stroking his beard and declined: "Donor, please take this chicken back. I

You will definitely not accept it."

"Master won't accept it, I'm here to help you as your disciple." The disciple next to him stretched out his hand and was about to repeat his old trick. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuerong was so smart that he immediately took two steps back with the chicken in his arms, and then looked at him with a wary expression.

Failed to capture the chicken!

Eh?

The disciple looked at her blankly and asked after a moment: "What do you mean?"

"My chicken is not for you."

"Then you are"

Upon hearing the question, Zhao Yuerong looked at the old man over there and said, "Grandpa Bodhisattva, please help me save this chicken."

"."

The old man stroked his beard for a moment, and his compassionate expression became a little unbearable. After a few apprentices next to him were stunned for a short time, they said angrily: "You little girl, you didn't hear that my master was injured when he cast a spell just now."

Body? You actually want my master to help save your chicken? No!"

"."

Zhao Yuerong shrunk his neck, hugged the chicken and walked back. He whispered to Xia Yuan in distress, "Husband, what should I do? The Bodhisattva's disciple said I can't save him."

"It's not that we don't save them, it's that they can't be saved."

"I think he can be saved, but the Bodhisattva just cast a spell and injured his body, so he can't be saved."

"Then what do you think? Give the old man your money and let him buy some ginseng, Ganoderma and other things to replenish his body, and then wait for him to replenish his body before rescuing your chicken?"

Hearing Xia Yuan's words, Zhao Yuerong's little face suddenly wrinkled, "Husband, I heard that ginseng is very expensive."

"It's a bit expensive, but I have it here, husband." After saying that, Xia Yuan took out a twenty-tael silver ingot from his arms in a serious manner, "No, if you give this ingot of silver to others, it should be enough."

I bought ginseng."

"No, no, I can definitely buy a lot of chickens with such a big amount of money. It's such a loss." Zhao Yuerong shook his head like a rattle.

Xia Yuan was extremely pleased with this, it was okay and he was not stupid.

The two of them whispered to each other, and the master and disciples over there did not hear clearly, but they saw Xia Yuan take out a large ingot of silver from his arms.

As a person who has seen the world, the old man could tell at a glance that it was twenty-two pounds of silver ingots, and it seemed that it was probably dedicated to himself. Otherwise, why would he take out the silver for no reason, to show off his wealth?

Happiness comes so suddenly.

A disciple next to him asked in a low voice: "Master, do you think that money is for us?"

"Shut up, wait peacefully, and show some airs."

"oh"

After a while, the disciple couldn't help but said: "Master, he took the money back again."

"Shut up, I can see."

"Master, after they left, they seemed to say that they wanted to go back and make chicken soup. I also want to drink chicken soup."

"close"

The old man wanted to say shut up, but when he said the word shut up, he was too lazy to say the next word, and instead sighed leisurely.

Ever since he came out of the palace in the early years of Hongzhi's reign, life has been getting worse day by day.

Later, I opened the Lingmiao Sect and became the leader. I took in a bunch of disciples. I thought that if the master had something to do, the disciples would obey him. However, it turned out that these disciples were all stupid ass and idiots. None of them were useful. They were competing with each other.

Can be eaten.

"Master, what should we do now? Our work has been in vain again."

"Yes, Master, what should I do? I'm so hungry."

The farmer and Wang Shisan, who was shouting in the crowd just now, also came over. It was obvious that both of them were stooges.

"You're a bunch of idiots! Shut up!" The old man got angry just looking at these disciples. He's been hungry all day long, and it's not like they didn't feed you yesterday.

"Pack up your things. Let's go to Zhaojia Village in front. I heard that there is a man named Zhao Fugui in that village. He is a rich local tycoon. Cheer up. If you can't make any money this time, you won't have any money tonight.

Eat!”
