Chapter 40: Dragon and Tiger Mountain Taoist
The middle-aged Taoist priest walked up to Li Dashuang and gave me a contemptuous look. He didn't even bother to talk to me. He directly said to Li Dashuang: "Mr. Li, this kind of rural unscrupulous people are just selling sheep's heads and selling dog meat. They are just cheating. Li
Regarding Third Master’s affairs, it’s all good as long as I’m there.”
Mr. Li?
Did Li Dashuang become prosperous outside, and he brought a Taoist priest with him when he came back to attend funerals?
I looked at the middle-aged Taoist priest. He was wearing a Taoist robe made of high-quality fabrics. The yin-yang fish on the hat was also inlaid with jade. There was a cloth bag hanging on his waist and a mahogany sword on his back. He was in high spirits, as if from a movie.
It's the same as coming out of it.
"Jiang Yi, we are all neighbors in the countryside. I don't want to embarrass you, but don't make it difficult for me. Just take the money and do what you have to do!" Li Dashuang threw a red envelope at my feet.
There was money inside, a lot of it.
I won't ask for the money, but Mr. Li San is always kind to me, and I don't want him to live in peace even if he dies, not to mention I'm worried that if something goes wrong, Yizhuang will be implicated.
When I think about it, I want to argue again.
"Koichi!"
As soon as I took a step, my uncle came from behind and grabbed me. He pulled me and said, "Come back with me!"
"Uncle..." I wanted to explain.
"Go back!" My uncle suddenly became fierce and dragged me away without any explanation.
When I got home, my uncle told me the situation.
It turns out that there is a big boss outside who is interested in our water resources and plans to invest 300 million to build a hydropower station in the upper reaches of the Mang River.
Li Dashuang is the person in charge of this project. In addition to visiting the grave of Second Grandma Zhang, he wanted to implement this matter. As a result, Mr. Li passed away, so he went to Longhu Mountain to invite a Taoist priest to perform rituals.
As the saying goes, the poor should not fight against the rich, and the rich should not fight against the officials. No wonder the village chief became cowardly and the villagers stopped talking.
As the uncle said this, he took out two packs of white rabbits and stuffed them into me, saying that Li Dashuang had someone send them to me, and asked me to take them back to the mountains to eat, and not to worry about Li Sanye's affairs.
I looked at my uncle speechlessly, threw the candy back and said, "If something happens, the people in our village will be the ones who suffer."
When my uncle saw me accepting death, he said angrily: "Why don't you understand? I come from Longhu Mountain and I'm an orthodox Taoist. Not to mention you, even Liu Yuan has to keep his head down in front of others!"
If it had been a few days ago, I would have believed what my uncle said.
But after seeing Liu Yuan's true ability, I don't think so. The village's peace and tranquility over the years is inseparable from Liu Yuan's protection.
I can't speak to my uncle, and the door to Li Sanye's house is guarded by Li Dashuang's men. If I break in, it will really cause trouble, which is unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally.
I had no choice but to take the White Rabbit toffee and go back to Yizhuang.
Lying in bed, I stayed awake all night, worried about Mr. Li San and praying that nothing would happen to him.
Early the next morning, I still couldn't help it and went back to inquire about the news.
All I hear are villagers praising the Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain, and I can't help but compare them to Liu Yuan. In this comparison, Liu Yuan becomes a wild Taoist in the countryside.
Of course, those who say these things are all people under the age of fifty.
I felt uncomfortable listening to this, but nothing happened to Mr. Li San, which proved that the Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain was indeed quite capable.
Mr. Li San kept vigil for three days, and all the leaders of the projects that Li Dashuang was responsible for came. Leaders from neighboring villages, big and small, also came to rub their faces, making it very lively.
During this period, a surveying team came with some strange instruments and conducted surveys along the Mang River all day long.
I don't know much about the outside world, and I don't know how to explain the construction of a power station on the Mang River.
Fortunately, no matter what they did, Yizhuang remained calm.
However, instead of looking for them, the Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain came to my door and set up a posture at the gate of Yizhuang, wanting to fight with me.
