Volume 1: A Youth's Journey, Long Journeys, Far Away, and Quartet Chapter 87: Me Yesterday in Front of the Shop
The women from the Lin family who came behind to put pressure were a little panicked when they saw the young man hitting someone. In the past few years, the son of the Lin family had not dared to retaliate when people like him insulted him, but today he actually dared to hit someone in the face.
"That slap just now was because you insulted my parents and friends. I respect you as my elder. Please don't talk about my parents again..." The boy in a short shirt looked coldly at the woman in front of him.
The woman looked at the young man in front of her with horrified eyes, her hands were already covering her painful left face, her lips were trembling as if she was saying something like "how dare you hit me," or something like that.
Lin Manliu breathed a long sigh of relief, and his eyes became clear again. He would be back sooner or later after what happened today, and he already had plans for the disappearance of the caravan.
"The caravan has indeed set off a long time ago. I don't know what will happen next. If all the aunts insist on insulting my family today, don't blame me for not knowing etiquette." Lin Manliu said and began to look around at these people who were insulting himself and his family.
A woman from one’s own family.
"You little beast, how dare you hit me? I want all the folks in Dongcheng to come and see how your Lin family teaches their son. No wonder you didn't send him to a school to be taught by your husband. You just behave like this.
I should spend my whole life doing farm work like your bastard father, and I don’t even want to take your father with me on business trips!” The woman held the left side of her beaten face and screamed at the top of her lungs.
As the woman's curses became louder and louder, more and more people came to watch, and they began to watch the woman use some extremely unpleasant words to curse the entire Lin family.
"Then Ruan Laosan is a timid and stingy boss. He and the caravan manager seem to be distant relatives, right? Otherwise, with his stature, he can also go out to do business and see the world?" some passers-by said in a low voice.
aisle.
"No, otherwise why do you think she would marry that Ruan Laosan? They are truly a match made in heaven, a perfect match!".
"Brothers, please keep your voices down and watch the show. Isn't it because the man didn't come back and came to Lin's shop to cause trouble?"
...
The onlookers were talking more and more. Some said that the Ruan family was deliberately looking for trouble today, and some said that the caravan had not returned for a long time, but the young man who was traveling with it came back. He must have something to do with the young man... Different
The sound filled the crowd.
"On my way back, I asked passers-by if they had seen the caravan returning west. I also paid attention to the caravan's delay in returning. I also hope that all aunties will not embarrass my family. After that, I, Lin Manliu
I will give you an explanation to the aunts and the caravan." Lin Manliu could only promise aloud when he saw that the discussions around him were getting louder and louder, and even arguments began to arise.
"How can you, a child of only fourteen or fifteen years old, ensure the safety of so many people? Let your mother come out quickly and let her discipline you little beast!" Ruan didn't wait for anyone to react.
, and began to curse at the young man again.
But after Ruan said her harsh words, she recalled the look in the young man's eyes and took a step back unconsciously.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a shout suddenly came out from behind the crowd to make people retreat. The tone sounded like that of Taoist priests visiting the stars.
"Fathers and fellow villagers, please give way, please give way. We have some matters to discuss with the Lin Family Shop," a Taoist priest wearing a purple robe shouted loudly.
It turned out to be a Taoist priest from the mountain who came down from the mountain in person! When Ruan turned around, she saw that person in a purple robe. It seemed that there were almost four or five Taoist priests who came from the mountain, as if they were grasping at straws.
She looked at Lin Manliu again, the frightened look in her eyes had disappeared, and turned into a look of joy that she was confident of winning. She began to cover her face and cry.
He told how miserable his life was. Now the man at home was traveling with the government's caravan and had not returned. Today he just came to the Lin family to ask if he knew the reason. Unexpectedly, he was slapped by the unreasonable children of his family.
on the face.
When she said that she was slapped by Lin Manliu, her eyes were red and swollen, and she was already crying. By chance, a Taoist priest walked beside her. She didn't seem to notice the approach of the purple-robed Taoist, and turned around.
After bumping into the purple-robed Taoist priest, Ruan was about to wait until the "living Bodhisattva"-like Taoist priest caught her.
Unexpectedly, she was pushed away by the purple-robed Taoist with great force, pushing Ruan to the ground. The moment Ruan fell to the ground, she stopped crying. She was a little confused as to why she fell to the ground.
After being pushed away, this Taoist priest on the mountain came to trouble Lin's shop. Why was he pushing me away when he was so cooperative?
Before Ruan could think about what the purple-robed Taoist wanted to do, she heard the purple-robed Taoist's apology, but it was not directed at her, but at Lin Manliu and the Lin family...
"My Taoist name is Shuangzhi. I am the eldest disciple of the temple leader. Yesterday, my junior brother was reckless in the city and disturbed Brother Lin and this young hero. I hope you can forgive Haihan..." Taoist Shuangzhi first made a Taoist call.
He bowed his head, then raised his hands and said loudly.
After Shuangzhi Taoist finished speaking, unexpectedly Lin Manliu and Ye Dangting just looked at him quietly without any reaction. Unavoidably, some cold sweat began to seep out from Shuangzhi Taoist's back.
I still remember that I was the first to meet the woman in black called "Ye Dangting". On the stargazing mountain path, I almost beat myself to serious injury. If the other party hadn't deliberately held back, I might still be unable to get out of bed.
, Today I came to clean up the aftermath of the second junior brother who was addicted to amassing money. If the master had not insisted on protecting him, I would not mind cleaning up the family at all.
"Furthermore, those stupid nephews of mine who arranged to have idle people here have been driven away by me. I also want to give the free courtyard to the Lin family as a token of my gratitude. These days of harassment really make me feel embarrassed to face you two.
"Shuangzhi Taoist said again with his hands raised, and he was always vigilantly checking the changes in the expressions of the two people.
After Taoist Shuangzhi finished speaking, a Taoist priest also dressed in purple robe came up behind him, carrying a piece of land deed and some silver.
After hearing the words of the purple-robed Taoist, the onlookers looked at the land deeds and silver coins that were presented later, and began to re-examine the three people standing in front of the shop in the middle of the crowd, the children of the Lin family, relatives of the Lin family, and Ruan who fell to the ground.
Shi.
"We understand the Taoist Master's kindness, but please don't make things difficult for us in the future." Upon hearing this, Ye Dang took over the land deed and the silver coins, and specially smiled at Ruan who was lying on the ground.
When he finally heard the strange man answer, Shuangzhi Taoist breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that today's matter was handled fairly quickly and there were no accidents.
"In this case, I won't bother you anymore..." Taoist Shuangzhi was about to say goodbye and leave.
"Taoist Master, please save me... Taoist Master, my man's whereabouts are unknown because of this little beast. He came back before the whole caravan came back. Maybe he has encountered an accident outside. Taoist Master, please do justice to me and wait for the abbot..."
." Unexpectedly, Ruan fell to the ground and pulled at his hem.
Several women who came behind Ruan also began to beg him. Amidst these shouts, Shuangzhi Taoist's face began to turn cold. He lowered his head and looked at the Ruan who begged him. When Ruan met his eyes, it was clear that
Sensing Taoist Shuangzhi's displeasure, he pulled the hand at his hem and slowly retracted it.
But the woman she called could still be heard calling from behind, asking Taoist Shuangzhi to punish the young man. Ruan was now a little at a loss. What was the reason for thinking that the Lin family was being attacked by Shenxing today?
Observing oppression will give rise to the illusion that the general trend is mine. She staggered up and wanted to squeeze out of the crowd and leave the place.
As a result, as soon as Ruan stood up, she was supported by the women behind her, asking her to continue arguing with the young man, letting the young man know how big a mistake she had made, and asking the young man to tell them that it was because of the young man that the caravan did not exist.
Return to Fengcheng in southern Xinjiang according to the normal time.
When Lin Manliu saw this scene, he didn't feel any joy or surprise in his heart. He had encountered these things too many times when he was a child. Now, in the eyes of onlookers, Ruan's family is nothing more than a fool in the market.
Several skilled buskers were forcing her to use more tricks to satisfy the onlookers.
In the past, when I was in Ruan's current position and situation, no one would stand up to save me. Only after I was ridiculed by them to the point of meaninglessness, would I be dismissed like a dispensable fallen leaf on the roadside.
forget.
Seeing that Taoist Shuangzhi couldn't escape for a while, he had no choice but to look at the young man and said, "It must be Mr. Lin. I only heard a rough idea of what happened today. Could it be convenient for Mr. Shuangzhi to explain it to me in detail?"
Then Lin Manliu had to explain the cause of the incident and the fact that he did not return with the caravan again in front of the store. Ye Dangting, who was beside him, did not use any words this time, as if it was his turn.
Just like watching a play.
During the boy's speech, Shuangzhi Taoist also emphasized some issues in Yu's speech, and explained to the people around him. Such obvious singing and harmony was all noticed by the Ruan family. She found out exactly what Lin Man Liuyan said about Shang.
There was a possibility that the team would encounter an unexpected incident on the way. She seemed to have heard bad news. Finally she couldn't hold on any longer. She staggered a few steps and fell into the crowd again.
The woman who had been following behind hurriedly helped Ruan. Lin Manliu and Shuangzhi Taoist looked at Ruan helplessly. She was really trying to find every opportunity, and she was really a talent in this little Fengcheng.
"I have roughly known what the young layman said. This matter really has nothing to do with the young layman. Let's all disperse. I will quickly go back to the temple to ask for instructions from the temple master. I will give everyone an explanation in the future." Taoist Shuangzhi looked around the crowd.
Circle, then face the women who came to ask for explanations again, and bowed their hands.
These women who have lived in the east of the city for a long time have seen such scenes. In the past, the "living Bodhisattvas" who only appeared in the ashram and the west of the city today apologized to themselves and hurriedly said that the Taoist priests have worked hard and that more Taoist priests can do the work for them. Such flattery
