Chapter 25: Leaving a Way in the Temple
Monk Yunzhen closed his eyes and said nothing, sat down cross-legged in the middle of the yard and began to meditate.
Zhao Xiaotian stared at Monk Yunzhen intently, his eyes shining like he was staring at a pile of gold. The village chief quickly came over and said, "What's going on, Ershuang? Can you think of this?"
In fact, the village chief was also miserable. If his wife's eldest brother hadn't been an official in the town, and if his daughter-in-law hadn't been suffering from convulsions and insisted on accumulating shady virtues, the village chief wouldn't have gone to Zhao Xiaotian to beg his grandfather to sue his grandma. As long as there was anything wrong with this matter.
The village chief would not let the monk enter the temple despite the risk of being killed by Zhao Xiaotian.
Zhao Xiaotian still smiled slightly, not knowing what he was planning in his heart. The village chief's eyes were straight with anxiety. After waiting for a long time, Zhao Xiaotian opened his mouth and said: "Village Chief, let's not talk about the monk's matter. You first
Bring me the five hundred yuan I owe Yaya. Since the matter has been broken, there is no need for me to talk to you in a bureaucratic manner. I can smell the money in your pocket eighty meters away from you. Take the money first.
Everything is easy to discuss here. If you don’t pay, I will go chat with Uncle Qu right now."
The village chief hated Zhao Xiaotian deeply. He originally thought that the five hundred yuan incident had been exposed by the finger-cutting incident. Unexpectedly, the plague god had fallen into the eyes of money. With a smile on his face, the village chief said cruelly.
He took out the five hundred yuan from his pocket, stuffed it into Zhao Xiaotian's hand and said, "Second pair, let me take this monk to the temple to see it?"
Zhao Xiaotian grabbed the money and counted it as he said: "I got the money by breaking your good deeds. We have to calculate the monk's share separately."
The village chief wanted to slap Zhao Xiaotian, but under the eaves, he asked again: "Tell me, how much is this monk worth?"
"I want you to interview the twenty acres of land you snatched from my house, except for this." After saying that, he walked into the house without even looking back.
The village chief chased him into the house and tried to negotiate the price again and again, but Zhao Xiaotian just said that he only wanted twenty acres of land and nothing else was negotiable.
After begging for about half an hour, Zhao Xiaotian had no intention of relenting. The village chief looked at Yaya again. This woman had counted five hundred yuan countless times. She didn't look like someone who would speak for the village chief at all. As for Yaya,
The monks cannot be expected to pay any attention to anything except the Buddhist sutras they are chanting.
But the village chief really felt that it was not worth it to exchange twenty acres of land for one monk. He had no choice but to leave Zhao Xiaotian's house and go out. The village chief went home and went directly to Qu's house.
As soon as she entered the door, Aunt Qu had been waiting for a long time. She had long heard that Lao Qu said that he wanted to go out to settle an account. The village chief would definitely come soon. Aunt Qu found a reason to put her son Kev away and sat down.
I freshened up in the house and started waiting for the village chief to come in.
The village chief was so angry that he started to curse as soon as he entered the door: "Damn Zhao Xiaotian, you are really not a thing!"
Aunt Qu frowned after asking what had happened. She was not worried about the monk. The key was that the five hundred yuan matter confused her. After thinking for a long time, she said to the village chief: "Old Wu,
If you ask me, Zhao Xiaotian knows that this matter between us must be resolved. According to his temperament, it is a bottomless pit. In the future, he will definitely give you a blackmail every now and then, and that won't work."
The village chief nodded. This was indeed difficult to handle, but he had to solve it. He couldn't think of a good way for a while and asked: "Do you have any ideas?"
Aunt Qu said thoughtfully: "Yes, yes, but it's a bit difficult..." After finishing speaking, she whispered a few words into the village chief's ear.
After hearing this, the village chief laughed loudly, hugged Aunt Qu and said, "Then I have wronged you, and I will make it up to you."
After saying that, she began to take off Aunt Qu's clothes, and a woman's scream echoed throughout the yard.
In the next month, Zhao Xiaotian appeared in the courtyard of the clinic once every three days. Lu Zixuan was like a blank sheet of paper, unaware of Zhang Xiaotian's intentions. Zhou Jie did not dare to say anything when Zhao Xiaotian was there.
, and only had a cold war with Lu Zixuan when he left.
In Lu Zixuan's heart, Zhao Xiaotian is just cynical and has no bad intentions. Moreover, doctors have a parental heart, so Zhao Xiaotian only comes to the clinic to change dressings. Zhou Jie finally burst out after Zhao Xiaotian left again, "Zixuan, you don't know this kid
The details, be careful to be deceived by him. He must have bad intentions when he comes to us every two days. You said he was here to change the dressing, but you don’t know that Uncle Er loves Zhao Xiaotian the most in the village. As for his wound, Uncle Er
Just grab some medicine and you'll be fine within three days. If you ask me, this guy definitely wants to do something evil to you, Zixuan, it's okay that I'm here, but if I'm not here, he might be able to do some beastly things!"
Lu Zixuan snorted and said angrily: "I think you are just suspicious. Don't tell me that I don't know Uncle Er. Even if I did, I would still say that those old folk remedies are not scientific at all. We have learned so much in the academy
Isn't medicine just for treating more patients?" Seeing that Zhou Jie was not impressed at all, Lu Zixuan said coquettishly: "Oh, I have been with you for so many years, don't you know?
I haven't agreed to how many rich second-generation people have pursued me, but I just followed you to this ravine. Am I going to be confused by an ordinary villager? Okay, hurry up and do your work."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Jie didn't wait for a reply and turned around to do his own thing. Zhou Jie sighed and said nothing.
Zhao Xiaotian always smiled when he came back from the clinic. After going back and forth, Yaya noticed something was wrong. One day, Yaya finally couldn't help but asked: "Master, do you have a candidate for your future young lady? Why are you smiling every day?"
Is it like this? Look, the ledger hasn’t been updated for a month.”
Yaya held a small account book and pouted to express her dissatisfaction. Zhao Xiaotian also discovered that his recent income was basically zero. He thought that after the assets reached 800, Yaya would use the money to find a place to settle down, but this girl did not ask for it at all.
It means leaving, and Zhao Xiaotian is also used to shouting "I'm back" when he goes home every day.
Zhao Xiaotian smiled, put on his shoes and walked out without explaining. The wound on his head was almost healed, and it was time to repay all the villagers. It was also time to take back the land of the old Zhao family.
Just as he was about to go out, he glanced at Monk Yunzhen who was sitting in the main hall. This monk had been meditating in the room for a month. Apart from reciting Buddhist scriptures and eating, he didn't care about anything else. Zhao Xiaotian originally intended to drive him away, but thought better of it.
He thought that the village chief would hire a monk sooner or later. This monk was still valuable, but the daily meal money was not a small amount. This made Zhao Xiaotian heartbroken. So he decided that if he wanted to get his land back, the first person he wanted to blackmail was
The village chief made up his mind and Zhao Xiaotian started running towards the village chief's house.
Before arriving at the village chief's house, the village chief had already come out of the door and greeted Zhao Xiaotian happily: "Er Shuang, wherever have you been these days, I haven't seen you. I thought you had left the village."
"Hmph!" Zhao Xiaotian rolled his eyes at the village chief, "You wish I had left Foye Village as soon as possible, so that you could occupy my land with peace of mind and harm Kev's mother. I tell you, it's a dream!"
The village chief smiled and did not deny it. He ignored Zhao Xiaotian and walked out. Zhao Xiaotian was wondering, what happened to this old man? Isn't he afraid that he would leak the secret again? Zhao Xiaotian, who was not sure why, tested the village chief and said: "Village Chief, what about you?"
The temple is almost finished, don't you want to discuss the monk's matter?"
The village chief laughed and said, "Er Shuang, you calmly discussed with me that we could make a deal with the monk, but you are so open-minded, I can't do anything about it. You don't have to worry about the monk, I already have a candidate."
Already."
"What?" Zhao Xiaotian couldn't believe it, "How can you find another monk within a few hundred miles? Just for an old guy like you? I mean, village chief, you can't think of becoming a monk, right?"
The village chief was not angry, he just continued walking confidently, looking back at Zhao Xiaotian as he walked, as if to say, "Follow me."
Zhao Xiaotian followed the village chief in confusion, but after a while he walked to the temple. The temple had been built by the village chief, and the Buddha statue looked brand new.
The two of them walked in front and back, and heard someone in the temple chant: "Buddha Immeasurable Life!"
Seeing the person who made the sound, Zhao Xiaotian almost burst into tears with laughter. He bent down and said to the village chief: "Village Chief... I'm not saying you don't have knowledge, but anyone with a brain knows that monks are in temples and nuns are in the temple."
They are in the nunnery, and the Taoist priests are in the temple. It is useless to hire a Taoist priest in your temple. Have you ever seen chickens raised in a pig pen?"
The village chief's face was bruised and expressionless. Half a month ago, when the village chief asked his wife if she could just build a temple without hiring monks, the village chief's wife glared angrily and said: "If you can't find a place to live,
Those who are in the temple, you can become a monk for me, or I can take the child back to my elder brother's place!"
The village chief had no choice but to go to the neighboring villages to find a monk. But where could a monk come from in this poor mountain valley with a radius of hundreds of miles, and he couldn't find a poor man to give him some money to become a monk. When Guizhou Donkey was at his wits end, the village chief came to see him.
A Taoist priest wearing tattered Taoist robes was found in a nearby village. The village chief had a change of heart. After all, they were all monks. What was the difference between monks and Taoists?
After explaining his purpose, the Taoist priest agreed. Of course, if the villagers paid for the sesame oil, they would have to pay 50-50 to the village chief. The two discussed the deal, and the village chief took the Taoist priest to Foye Village, a village that was forced to have no other choice by his wife.
Chief, one is a Taoist priest who is on the run, and both of them are also greedy for money.
In this way, the Taoist priest became the "abbot" of the Buddha Village Temple.
Zhao Xiaotian laughed so hard that he couldn't stand still. He sat down on the ground and looked at the two of them, pointing at the village chief and then at the Taoist priest. He was still laughing and speechless.
The Taoist priest was in his forties or fifties. Although he looked like an immortal, he looked at people with eyes that were either adulterers or thieves. When the village chief saw the Taoist priest, he also showed an unhappy expression and comforted the Taoist priest, saying, "Taoist priest, don't pay attention to this kid.
He is deliberately teasing you."
This sentence is very clever. On the surface it is to advise the Taoist priest not to have the same knowledge as Zhao Xiaotian, but in fact it is to sow discord between the two. It means to tell the Taoist priest that Zhao Xiaotian treats you as a monkey.
Sure enough, the Taoist priest was immediately furious. He flicked the whisk in his hand, making a "carp flicking its tail" posture. With a flick of his wrist, the whisk stood upright, as if it had turned into a murder weapon, and went straight to Zhao Xiaotian's door.
Zhao Xiaotian was laughing when suddenly there was a strong wind beside his ears. He looked up and saw the Taoist priest with a red face and an angry face. The whisk in his hand was approaching. He did not dare to be careless at that moment. He rolled on the ground and barely escaped the attack. He stood up like a carp.
Looked the Taoist priest up and down.
