Chapter 97: The coffin can't hold back
I kept hiding in the dark, secretly looked at the sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks in the audience, shook my tugged arm, and sneered.
"Don't worry, I, Dao Ren Zhou, would I be such a person who is untrustworthy? I will naturally do what I promised you." After finishing my sarcasm with rude sarcasm, my sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, then looked proudly contempt. The three people in front of me who bowed their waists for a mere five dou of rice, then waved impatiently, "Okay, follow me."
As he spoke, he carefully glanced around. After confirming that there was no one, Zhou Xiaodao led the three people behind him to the back of the camphor tree. The water mill that once was lively and noisy, but now it was deserted, took out three straw-woven baskets that he had long hidden here from the abandoned old basket beside him.
He slipped up and threw it into the arms of the three people behind him, "Hey, the two kilograms of brown rice each promised to each of you are here. Look carefully and don't say that this Taoist priest deceives you."
Zhou Xiaodao finished speaking, the old, middle-aged and young men in front of him took the straw basket and hurriedly opened it to see that it was indeed brown rice with yellow and bran-headed rice. Although the quality was not good, fortunately the portion was enough and it was really grain. After the three of them nodded and smiled.
Nowadays, the bran is also a food that can fill the stomach, but the three of them didn't care about it. The other party also had this thing that could only be fed pigs in the brown rice they gave. What they cared about was the life-saving food in the grass basket, whether it was enough to have the weight that the person had promised.
The three of them were all in their hands, secretly estimating the weight. In Zhou Xiaodao's eyes, he hummed very unhappy.
"It's just a few kilograms of rice, is that what?"
It's such a petty aura!
I think he is a dignified Zhou Xiaodao, and he is surrounded by several towns, including Xiangshui Town, Mianquan Town, Taoyuan Town, and surrounding villages, which stretch for hundreds of miles. It is the existence of everyone respectfully calling Xiaodao Master. How could he deceive these three dilapidated towns?
You know, when the rain came last year and then it stopped, his master decisively spent a lot of money and bought a lot of millet, millet, beans and grains in one go, which were hidden in the deepest and most secret warehouses in their mountain Taoist temple.
It's like the low-grade brown rice he took out to win people's hearts, which is something that even the lowest-grade boy under him is not too rare to eat.
Zhou Xiaodao's high-profile appearance made the three people holding precious brown rice in their hands stiff.
This is funny, it's just a few kilograms of rice? As for?
As for, very much!
Does this guy know that in such a few kilograms of rice can live a family’s life in such a year?
For the sake of the hungry mouths at home, they had lost their conscience just now, helping to spread the conscience-abiding words that the little Taoist priest wanted them to pass on.
They knew it was wrong in their hearts, but in order to survive, they chose to betray their conscience.
The three of them had disdain in their eyes, but they were pleased on their faces, and they kept saying yes and yes. Master Dao was wise, but he just didn't offer Zhou Xiaodao like a god in the sky, "Master Dao, there is such a good job next time, don't forget to call us again."
It turns out that this is the most fundamental reason for pleasing compliments.
Zhou Xiaodao was a person who was used to observing the words and expressions. When he saw the expressions of the three people and listened to their flattering compliments, Zhou Xiaodao's sharp-mouthed face turned stern and waved to the three people who were carefully holding the food, "Okay, I know, I will find you if I have any work in the future. Get out now, don't let people see the suspicion."
"Yes, yes, okay..."
After leaving these three people impatiently, Xialibaziren whom he didn't like, left, Zhou Xiaodao first carefully observed the surrounding situation and confirmed safety. Then he lifted the corner of his robe and quickly headed to a village at the bottom of Taoyuan Town.
He had to seize the time to go back quickly and report the good news to his master.
It is said that Zhou Xiaodao left Taoyuan Town with a hidden figure and went straight to Taoyuan Town. He was a village closest to the town. After hiding his path, he turned around and entered a household at the entrance of the village. It was a dilapidated house where his master loyal believers were.
After entering the door, Zhou Xiaodao quickly turned around and closed the yard door and walked over the yard. Zhou Xiaodao glanced at the side of the house. The newly built that was made of thatch, now he lived in the two side walls of the owner of the house. He curled his lips secretly, then raised his foot and stepped into the center of the yard. The owner specially gave it to the main room.
Pushing the door opens and you can see clearly the furnishings in the shabby house.
It's so shabby!
Zhou Xiaodao sighed in his heart. He raised his foot into the door and walked directly to the room and faced by the window. He was in front of the simple woodworker's bed with roving green cloth and floral tents, and shouted: "Master, the disciple is back."
On the woodworker's bed, in the dark world covered by the tent, in the half-sheared tent, the lean sperm man sitting cross-legged in meditation, isn't it Zhou Xiaodao's master?
The man closed his eyes at first, but heard the sound of pushing the door. After hearing the apprentice's voice, his closed eyes opened suddenly. On the face that looked cool and oozing, a few traces of light suddenly leaked from the opened yellow eyes.
The owner of the face narrowed his eyes, heard the sound and slightly drew his head. While looking at the back apprentice, he asked hoarsely: "Does there be a tail?"
Facing the master who was sitting cross-legged in the shadow of the tent, he could not see clearly at all. Zhou Xiaodao didn't realize that he was there, so he shook his head and replied, "The master is at ease, he has no tail, so he is careful along the way."
The thin Taoist heard the apprentice's assurance, nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "How are you doing what you told you?"
Zhou Xiaodao smiled quickly and patted his chest and made a loud noise.
"Master, you can do things. Just put your heart into your stomach and everything is under control! Master, please wait. Once the old well in Taoyuan Town is running, the idiots in the town will be a little inciting. Haha, the three masters and apprentices who stole our jobs are all skilled. Even if they are really immortal masters, they will not escape from your Wuzhi Mountain! It won't take long, Master, our grudges will be repaid!"
Zhou Xiaodao smiled evilly, his eyes were filled with the inevitable light, and he was calm and calm. Hearing the thin middle-aged Taoist priest, the middle-aged Taoist priest couldn't help but emphasize again.
"Well, that's it, you must not lose the big picture before things are done."
Although he is a vengeful person, he has never lacked caution.
When he was told, Zhou Xiaodao smiled and nodded, but he didn't agree with it. He just felt that his master was too cautious.
Poor their master, he was sitting on the hill without waiting for a good time, and having a good life of having enough food and drink. However, in order to find the bad luck of the foreign bullshit who ruined their master's and apprentices, he stayed in this remote village under Taoyuan Town and lived in a depressed home.
It’s true that I can’t eat well; I can’t drink well; I can’t sleep well; I feel so frustrated!
But in order to avenge the shame and to let the outsiders know that their local snake was so powerful that they would not find their frustrated and angry at the beginning. How could their master and disciple be able to survive in the future? How could they maintain the small Taoist temple on the mountain in the future?
