Although I couldn't say goodbye to Zhang Lingyun for the last time.
But Jin An didn't think much about it.
It's not like he left Chang County.
We can see each other anytime in the future.
And he also left a new address for Shopkeeper Zhang.
Jin An asked the old magician to help him find the place he was looking for.
The location is neither busy nor remote.
It is suitable for him to practice martial arts quietly and will not disturb the people around him.
It mainly has two courtyards, one large and one small, and three empty houses. The small courtyard in the backyard is just suitable for him to practice martial arts.
This private house was rented, not bought by Jin An.
Even Jin An doesn't know whether he will always live in Chang County in the future, so there is no need for him to buy real estate.
House prices were cheap in ancient times.
And there is no such thing as a real estate speculator group.
He wants to buy real estate, but he can't wait for the value to rise.
When Jin An walked to the door, he saw that the courtyard door was open and there was a bamboo and rattan chair in the front yard. The old Taoist priest was lying leisurely on the bamboo and rattan chair to bask in the sun.
"Old magician, you are quite free."
"My advice is to breathe in more yang energy so that the frightened three souls and seven souls can heal quickly."
"Then why don't you say that it will be dried for seven or forty-nine days to produce delicious food?"
"?"
baa baa baa baa
"Huh?" The old Taoist priest, who was originally lying on a bamboo and rattan chair basking in the warm sun, sat up and looked at the goat that Jin An was holding behind him in wonder.
"This stupid sheep has been raised well and is fat and strong. It is twice as big as any goat I have ever seen."
"Little brother, you are still considerate and know how to take care of the elderly. I am weak. I know that I have been weak recently and urgently need to cook mutton hot pot to replenish my essence and blood and strengthen my yang. In this wet and cold season when it is easy to get cold legs, it is best to cook mutton.
It’s hot pot.”
"Such a big sheep is enough for you and me to eat mutton hot pot for half a month!"
The old Taoist priest couldn't help but salivate, and his Adam's apple slid up and down.
Especially when he saw the two lumps of sheep's eggs that were twice as big as ordinary sheep, the old Taoist priest's eyes widened in surprise.
This man is middle-aged...
I am prone to soreness in the back and legs, and frequent urination at night.
Need aphrodisiac supplements!
Looking at the old Taoist priest who was drooling, Jin An looked happy.
He handed the rope that led the sheep to the old Taoist priest and said, old Taoist, if you have the ability to kill this goat and make mutton hotpot, I will not only give you the goat, but I will also pay the rent for the old Taoist priest to stay here shamelessly.
It’s free, and you’ll get a free mutton-shabu hotpot for half a year, so you can eat it until you get tired of it.
The old Taoist priest is a wandering Taoist priest.
No fixed place to live.
Home all over the world.
Wherever he goes, that's his home.
This time he accidentally injured his soul and suffered a severe loss of energy and energy. He had to stay in Chang County until he recovered from his injuries before he could continue on his journey.
When the old Taoist priest heard that Jin'an was looking for a new residence during this period, he took the initiative to take over the job of finding a new address.
So there was this new address in front of me.
And the old Taoist priest stayed there shamelessly and took advantage of the free rent.
Since the white coffin was successfully buried and the Lin family's affairs were settled, the old Taoist priest has left the Lin family. He can't continue to live there since his affairs have been settled, right?
After hearing what Jin An said, the old Taoist priest's eyes immediately gleamed. He was holding the rope and thinking about which part of the mutton should be cooked today. It turned out that the goat was very strong, and the old Taoist priest's arms and legs couldn't hold the goat at all.
He was knocked to the ground directly by his head and fell to his feet in disgrace.
Jin An no longer paid attention to the old Taoist priests and the greedy sheep who were coming and going in the yard, each showing off their magical powers, and went back to the house to put away his luggage.
Just the greedy sheep, who has been eating and drinking a hundred-year-old medicinal soup and wine every day, and has its bones cleaned several times every day, and even a few big men can't hold it back.
What's more, the old Taoist priest is alone.
When Jin An put away his things and walked out of the house, he saw a person and a sheep in the yard, staring at Mung Bean at the tortoise. What are you looking at? I'm just looking at you. If you try to look at me again, you will die...
Jin An smiled and asked what the old Taoist priest was looking at.
Can a sheep still make you see flowers?
Unexpectedly, the old Taoist priest looked at Jin An with a serious face: "Little brother, where did you get this sheep? Old Taoist, I feel that this guy has become a spirit."
Jin An was shocked when he heard this. Did he make a mistake?
The sheep raised by Wu Zang Taoists have actually inherited the Taoist incense and have become spirits?
The old magic stick can be regarded as a member of the Taoist sect after rounding off. Could it be that he saw the clues?
Jin An thought about this and hurriedly asked the old Taoist: "This greedy sheep just uttered human words and spoke?"
The old Taoist priest shook his head angrily: "That's not true. The main reason is that the goat always casts a sideways look at me, as if he is mocking me for being stupid."
Looking at the old naughty old Taoist priest who was angry with an animal, Jin An shook his head: "When a pig or dog encounters a butcher ten feet away, they still know how to tuck their tails and turn around to run for their lives. Old Taoist priest, if you want to kill it and eat its meat, what will happen to it?"
Don’t you understand?”
"Domestic cats, dogs, and mice have been around people for a long time. Under the influence of their ears and eyes, they can gradually understand people's words and deeds. Sometimes they will imitate people's words and deeds, and gradually gain access to people's spirituality. This is normal."
"Come on, old man, don't worry about eating it anymore. I didn't buy this greedy sheep from the market to eat meat. It's just a way of entrusting my thoughts to a benefactor who saved my life. From now on
You are now a part of this family.”
The old Taoist priest was just moved by Jin An's words, but Jin An changed the topic and said, "Well, old magic stick, please clean up the dust on your clothes. Let's go to eat mutton hotpot tonight. I'll treat you."
"Ouch! The old Taoist priest got on my waist. Little brother, hurry up and help me..."
The old Taoist priest put his hand on his waist and screamed in pain.
Because he was thinking about the mutton hot pot, the old Taoist priest quickly dusted himself off and left the goat tied under an old pear tree in the yard. After leaving enough carrots, Jin An and the old Taoist priest locked the door and went out.
…
Walking on the streets of Chang County.
On both sides of the street, lanterns can already be seen hanging.
The pier is densely populated, with more than 20 boats of different sizes parked. Many young ladies from out of town, family members of large families who boarded the boat, stepped off the boat, porters working hard at the pier, horse-drawn carriages, donkey carts, ox-carts, and wheelbarrows carrying people to salute.
All kinds of people crowded the pier, and it was bustling with people.
Pedestrians in the market are crowded with each other in an endless stream.
There are many strangers with unfamiliar faces.
The teahouses and wine shops on both sides of the street are doing a booming business.
The most lively temple fair in Chang County once a year, as it gets closer and closer, Chang County also starts to become lively.
"Old magician, have you ever participated in a temple fair in Chang County before?"
"I am a traveling Taoist priest, and it is my first time to come to Chang County. Naturally, I have never seen the grand annual temple fair in Chang County. However, when I lived with the Lin family, I heard the Lin family talk about it.
The reason why the county temple fair was so grand and attracted countless wealthy businessmen, young ladies and gentlemen came one after another is because there was a thousand-year-old sacred tree in Chang County that can bear fruits of copper coins. Gee, even the old Taoist I am moved, I can't help it.
I want to see what this Qingqianliu tree, which is regarded as a sacred tree by the locals in Chang County, looks like."
"Speaking of which, I wonder how the arrangements are going with Capt. Feng?"
Jin An had just talked about Capt. Feng. When the two of them, smelling of mutton, returned to their new address after eating the mutton, they saw a Capturing Officer wearing a yamen official uniform with a knife waiting at the gate.
outside.
Take a closer look.
It was none other than Feng Baotou.
"Fortunately, Mr. Jin An left a new address with shopkeeper Zhang, otherwise Feng would have had a hard time finding him. Mr. Jin An, Mr. Chen, are you free tonight?"
"We will go to prison immediately tonight to investigate the real cause of Li Dashan's death!"
