14. Quarrel

Shang Saner took the old dog out of the city lord's mansion early.

Yesterday I sucked a big fat pig and made them have a happy day.

Fried pork liver, pork loin, fresh meat in the morning, fried big fat intestines in the evening, stewed pork trotters, and pork head meat, all of which are really satisfying. They lack salt and seasonings, and they are also comfortable to eat.

The little girl Pi Chen Mei'er even brought her back to the concierge to honor her grandmother on the sickbed.

It is late summer and early autumn, not winter, so the meat cannot be marinated. Fortunately, there is an ice cellar in the city lord's mansion, and all those who can't finish eating have been moved in.

During the meal, Cao Si said that he would not open the fire anymore and would come to the city lord's mansion for three meals. Although my mother rolled her eyes to him, she did not object. She also called Xiao Niangpi to come and have a meal with her, saying that she would be lively.

Unlike the earth immortals, human immortals cannot do without food.

The little lady is about to come to pick up people, but she can’t eat a few meals. Besides, she eats very little and can help me, so Shang Saner has nothing to say.

The big jar of "rotten wine" was scooped up a pot last night and poured a small cup of each. Unfortunately, as the master said, it was extremely fishy.

Seeing that Shang Saner really dared to taste it, it was not the wine that was before the disaster, Cao Si dared to drink it, but he vomited it when he imported it and would not touch it again.

I tasted it and vomited it out, not wanting to suffer the consequences.

The little girl was so slapped with a small cup and drip it. When she finished eating the mat, she sipped all the five-cent small cup of wine.

Shang Saner's wine glass is also five cents. Master said that the wine is full of spiritual energy and he dare not pour it too much.

The smell of wine in my mouth is not a little bit. Shang Saner almost vomited out the fat intestines he had eaten. Because it could increase spiritual energy, he drank it with great perseverance and gritted his teeth and stood up. However, he was in a mood when eating shit with an old dog.

Shang Saner is still a new student in cultivation and cannot judge the amount of spiritual energy he has increased, but looking at the little girl's appearance, it should be very good.

Just five cents of wine were called Shang Saner and she slept until dawn after dinner.

If you don’t slaughter pigs today, you don’t need to call Cao Si. Shang Saner wants to stroll around the city.

Well, my own city.

After burning for two days and two nights, the smoke in the public warehouse on the right finally faded. The burned corpses did not contain flesh and blood, and there was no foul smell. All they could smell were food and wood after burning.

I looked around in the empty venue outside the city lord's mansion and took the old dog to measure his city step by step.

First from north to south.

On Beitong Street, walk through the official yamen, the guest yamen, the Huwei yamen, the concierge office, the public school, the yamen and the craftsman office, the public warehouse, the Cao house, the tea shop, and the grocery store.

At the intersection, there were braised meat stalls, fortune telling stalls, and font stalls, some vendors selling candied haws, tofu, mountain goods, firewood and other hawks, and a broken leg that had been begging all year round, but now they are gone.

Nantong Street, walk through the pawn shop, Green Willow Restaurant, Cyclops, Money House, Antique Shop, Bathhouse, Tailor Shop, Cloth Shop, Rouge Shop, Teeth Shop, Guest House, Willow Casino, Datong Gambling House, Incense and Candle Shop, City God Temple.

There was only one mud pit left in the dead old willow tree, and the tree was dragged to the public warehouse by the old dog and burned together.

Walk to Chenghuang Temple and turn around, pick a small alley, and turn to the east gate.

There are houses on both sides of the alley, some open doors, some close doors, some pasted white paper with white lanterns, and some are empty.

Occasionally, when gusts of wind blow, the windows before closing will make a sound "squeak, squeak".

Not met a single person.

Turning to the east gate, the old man who was guarding the gate disappeared, and the city gate was wide open.

I walked up the city wall ladder on my right hand, but there were no soldiers on my yamen. The long city walls on both sides were empty.

Looking east, the colors below Liujie Mountain are all withered and black. No matter how far they are, there is a lush and leafy scenery on earth. The view is blocked by the mountains. The kilns that burn tiles, pottery, stones, and mud are invisible.

Go down the city wall ladder, and there is a mud and tiled shop on the south side, which is nothing good. Across the street is the vegetable market, and the greasy meat table has disappeared with the black fog, leaving only some wood residue. Walking a few steps in, there are two abandoned broken baskets left in the original vegetable stall on the ground.

Turn around, from east to west.

On Dongzheng Street, walk through the animal skin shop, mud and tiled shop, calligraphy and painting shop, bookstore, stationery shop, wood carving shop, stonemason shop, pottery shop, flower shop, fish and bird shop, tea shop, and then to the intersection. On both sides of the street are tea shops and green willow restaurants.

Xizheng Street, walk through grocery stores, pawn shops, wineries, silver shops, grain and oil shops, candied fruit shops, pastry shops, clothing shops, shoe shops, small restaurants, porridge shops, medicine shops, clinics, coffin incense and candle shops, and carriages.

No one was seen.

The refugees moved in the whole city, and there were only two living creatures in their own family, Cao Si, the young lady, the grandmother and grandson, and the old dog.

Five people, plus a dog.

Shang Saner had made up her mind to be the city lord, but yesterday's pig-killing was lively. After the last refugee moved away, he really walked in the city. Seeing this empty and lifeless city, he felt countless aggrievances, which made his chest feel depressed and uncomfortable.

He couldn't stand it in just one day.

Fatty Zhang, the wife of the Meng family, the shopkeeper of the silverware shop, the black-hearted Liu, and the diners who nodded when they couldn't name them and drank porridge, the familiar gambling ghosts, the running children, the old man playing chess, the laundry women, and the yamen soldiers who pretended to be powerful, were all gone.

It's really empty.

The two gates of the east and west are difficult to open and close at night every morning.

Standing in front of the Xichengmen Gate for a long time, he shouted: "City God!"

The City God said that as long as he is in the city, he will know.

After this sound, a voice sounded in his ears: "City Lord, why do you call me?"

Shang Saner said: "The east and west city gates are open. If anyone enters the city in the future, please let the City God know me!"

"I know! Is there anything else?"

"No!"

After the conversation with the City God ended, he called again: "Old Dog!"

The old dog raised its dog's head, and Shang San'er raised his leg and kicked it hard, hitting the dog's nose.

"In the future, I will learn to bark a hundred times every day. When barking, I will only make two sounds. Other creatures come into the city and then I will call me three times!"

If no one guards the city gate, the city god will have to be the double guarantee of the old dog. After giving the order, he will shout again: "Carry me back!"

An old dog can carry wine, coffins, and of course he can carry him, but the master has warned him not to carry others.

After strolling around the streets of the empty city, he rode his dog back in a flash.

To restore Green Willow City to arouse some vitality, you can only find someone to fill it, and you can’t be an ordinary person.

Three or five years later, there was a demonic disaster. The Master had paved the way to the Dragon Mountain, and the ninth level of human immortality, Shang Saner originally thought that when his family and the chessboard and life objects were more in line with each other, he would learn one or two Taoist techniques to have the confidence to find it.

But after visiting the city, he couldn't stand it anymore and had to act quickly.

Return to the city lord's mansion, take a few leftover incense sticks, and go out again.

This time I went to the Land Temple outside the city.

The Land Temple is just west of Luliu City, and you have to walk three miles after leaving the west gate.

There are many hills outside the Green Willow City, and the land temple is located in a small hill, with green trees on it, and there are several willow trees on the side of the temple, which reflects the name of the city.

People who live in the city, but who farm, raise livestock, cut woodcutting, and burn kilns outside the city all want to come to the land temple to burn incense and seek peace. In the past, the place was full of incense.

The old situation no longer exists.

When he entered the door, he burned incense, kicked the old dog and knelt down, and bowed down to salute himself, which was comparable to the set of Chenghuang Temple.

The first incense stick is the city lord who thanks Tudipo for protecting the people and protecting the people. He helps the food, and corresponds to the merits and greatly increases his vows. Tudipo is also happy and is willing to come out to meet him.

"Why are the city lord looking for me?"

Shang Saner lit two more incense sticks and said, "The second incense stick is to thank Tudipo for saving my mother and son's life that day! The third incense stick is, I ask Tudipo, where is the oldest old willow in recent years? I want to transplant it into the city."

On the day of the great disaster, Shang Saner ran away with her mother. The black smoke that could not escape from the demon was the landlord who entered the city at the critical moment. Among the dozen people she saved, there were the merchant mother and son.

My mother also said that she would come to the Land Temple to burn incense, and Shang Saner would pay homage to her first today.

The deeds of this landlady were also widely spread in Green Willow City. When she was alive, she was just an ordinary person. When she was young, she lost her husband and her son in middle age, but she was born with kind heart. She raised more than a dozen orphans by growing some vegetables at home. When she was old, she remained enthusiastic. If anyone asked her for something, she would do her best to help her. When she died, although she had no descendants, dozens of people were wearing mourning clothes. Half of the city was funeral, and even alarmed the city lord's mansion. When the old land was killed, she simply turned her into Green Willow Landlady.

The city is called green willow. Whenever the old willow in the city dies, the city lord will have to plant new willows, which is also a common practice. Listening to Shang Saner's intention of the third incense stick, the landlady pondered for a while before saying, "There are many old willows outside, but the old woman thinks that the new city lord should have a new look, so why choose the old willow again? It is better to take the new willow branches and see it again a hundred years later. The tree age is the age when you are the city lord, wouldn't it be better?"

She asked her to remind her that Shang Saner also figured it out and bowed to thank her: "It turns out that I am not thinking about it, thank Tudipo for some advice!"

After coming out, I picked two new willow branches from the old willow tree next to the Land Temple.

I rode an old dog back to the south of the city and planted two willow branches on the left and right sides of the Chenghuang Temple. I asked for a second. The former city lord planted one plant and two planted two.

If you don’t pick the season, you can survive as long as you don’t have a drought.

Now I’m going back, I’ll pick up the water used to cook today and make some to soak the willow branches. The city is dirty and cannot be imported, and I don’t want to use it to water willow branches.

Walking back to Beitong Street, my mind changed. I didn't enter Cao's Mansion, so I went to the Concierge Office.

Because it is a place to receive immortals in the city, the concierge occupies a large area, and Shang Saner asked the old dog to lead the way.

In the VIP room, the little girl was sitting by the bed talking to her grandmother. Shang Saner brought the dog in and was very surprised: "The city lord... is there something wrong?"

Her grandmother was lying on the couch, with only her facial features that could move and her eyes were also staring at Shang San'er.

The silk quilt was covered, and her short collar could not be seen. Her raised shoes, which were also embroidered with peony, were placed under the couch.

Shang Saner rolled up her sleeves and said viciously: "I avenge my teeth and come and scold this old woman!"

Although he was a grandparent and grandson, the old woman had a completely opposite temperament and was furious when she heard the sound, she shouted and shouted: "Bah! You rude rascal, you have enough luck in your eight lifetimes. This time, you picked up a ragged city lord that no one wanted. If you don't know the weight, you dare to act in front of the old woman?"
