Qin Liuxi looked at the few people in front of him, whose faces were pale from the cold, holding ginger soup and sipping on it. They were slurping roasted melon seeds, looking like they were watching a good show.
Xiong Er drank a bowl of ginger soup and felt alive. He let out a long breath, looked at someone with his legs crossed and knocked on melon seeds, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Isn't it too obvious for you to watch the show?
Qin Liuxi spat out the melon seed skin and said, "Did you run away all the way here?"
Jing Xiaosi: "..."
What if "escape" is a bit appropriate? Their journey was just like fleeing, wasn't it?
"It's not like you just left that day. Before we had time to express our thanks, we heard that you, Chief Wuyang, are from Qingpingguan in Licheng, so we came here." Xiong Er explained: "We were unlucky along the way. You I don’t know, after leaving Xiangnan Xingzhai, there will be various situations..."
Xiong Er went on and on, almost bursting into tears as he told them all about their misery.
Seeing Qin Liuxi listening to the gossip, Jing Xiaosi couldn't help but feel a little hot, and kicked Xiong Er's foot: "Okay, they are all heroes and don't mention their bravery in the past. Why are you bringing this up? It's not a joke."
Xiong Er: "Why can't I say I'm wronged? You're so overbearing!"
Jing Xiaosi wanted to fight back and sneezed twice.
"So why did you come here, especially you? Looking at your yellow and thin face, the Gu insect didn't damage your body before because you were lucky enough to get it out in time. If you don't take care of it carefully, you still have to travel a long distance." Trek, do you think this body is made of iron?" Qin Liuxi looked at him coolly.
Weak chickens should be raised for meat.
"Of course I want to donate the money for the sesame oil to your temple, but it's almost the Chinese New Year and the Taoist temples are not open?" Xiong Er looked outside and saw no pilgrims.
Jing Xiaosi patted his head again and said, "Idiot, are you blind? You didn't see this moving thing when you came in? It's obviously under repair."
"Jing Xiaosi, if you beat me silly and you can't find a wife, you have to compensate me." Xiong Er glared at him.
Jing Xiaosi rolled his eyes as if he was mentally retarded.
Qin Liuxi smiled and said: "Yes, the Taoist temple is being renovated and a new building is being built. It will be temporarily closed and will reopen when the repairs are completed. However, it is also possible to donate sesame oil. If you are kind and sincere, I will take you there myself."
After the two of them had rested, they stood up and followed Qin Liuxi to the main hall, while looking at the furnishings in the hall.
There is a mighty golden statue of the Patriarch in the center, and there are many small life-size statues under the seat, as well as some ornaments, talismans and the like. According to Qin Liuxi's introduction, these are all enshrined with incense, and some devout believers will invite them. Please go back to worship some small statues to protect the family home, and please go back to use the talisman as a protective plate.
In front of the golden statue, there was a huge incense burner. Qin Liuxi took three sticks of finger-thick incense and lit it himself. He taught them how to offer incense to the heart. After the incense was done, he said, "You can also light a lantern for your parents, brothers and sisters." Praying for blessings.”
Xiong Er: "I'll order."
Jing Xiaosi pursed his lips and said, "I won't order any more."
Xiong Er paused his hand, looked over, lowered his eyes and sighed.
"You can do it for an old friend." Qin Liuxi looked at him.
Jing Xiaosi's heart trembled and he changed his words: "Then light two."
Qin Liuxi took them to light the lamps, and Xiong Er stuffed all the banknotes he had into the sesame oil tank, and said in a panic: "I spent a lot of money along the way, but I don't have much banknotes. When I went to the bank in the city, I took some money." I’ll add some more if I get the banknotes.”
"Sincerity leads to spiritual success, and good people can do as they please. You have traveled a long distance to offer incense, and the Patriarch will bless you."
Xiong Er smiled naively and scratched his head.
After walking out of the main hall, Qin Liuxi didn't stay with them. He helped them one by one, especially Jing Xiaosi, who prescribed a prescription for regulating the body and returned to the city with them.
"It's cold in the mountains, and they're also under construction. It's inconvenient. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I don't think you will celebrate the Chinese New Year on the road. There are also many quiet courtyards in Li City, and some inns also have private courtyards, which can be rented for temporary stay."
Xiong Er asked her: "What about you? Don't you live in the mountains too?"
"Of course I'll go back home." Qin Liuxi said: "It's Chinese New Year, should I enjoy the cold wind in the mountains?"
Xiong Er and Jing Xiaosi: "..."
You're so rebellious, it's really a blessing that your ancestor didn't kill you!
Qin Liuxi added: "I also have a shop called Shengdao on Hongbai Street in Shouxifang. If you have anything to do, you can go find me there, but it won't be open during the Chinese New Year."
What, you are a Taoist priest and you still open a shop? incredible.
After Qin Liuxi finished speaking, she walked away. She went up the mountain this time for the purpose of the Buddhist Scripture Tower. She didn't expect to meet Xiong Er and the others who came from southern Hunan.
Seeing them, I think of Si Lengyue. I haven't seen her since Xiangnan separated. I wonder how she is now?
Xiong Er saw that Qin Liuxi had just left, and couldn't help but look at Jing Xiaosi, so we traveled a long distance and went through countless difficulties to come to Li City, just to add some sesame oil money to the last incense?
"What should we do?"
Jing Xiaosi said angrily: "Looking for a house or an inn, I'm not on the road to celebrate the New Year." After a pause, he added: "I remember that Uncle Zishi of the Tang family opened a school in Licheng, and I have to pay him a visit. .”
Anyway, here you go, let’s have some fun in Licheng.
Qingzhou, Si family.
Si Lengyue pinched her eyebrows and asked the personal maid Acha to lead out the young man who was more beautiful than a woman. How many times was this?
The young man's eyes darkened and he was a little unwilling. He bit his lip and took a step forward: "Master, I can serve you well."
Si Lengyue waved her hand and said, "I don't have that idea right now. Let's go get a red envelope from the housekeeper and marry a wife who likes her."
The young man's face turned pale and he wanted to say something, but Ah Cha asked him to leave.
As soon as they left, Situ rushed in and said, "Yue'er, this one doesn't work either? She looks like a flower. The baby she gives birth to will be very beautiful."
Si Lengyue was speechless: "Dad, I told you to wait until the curse on me is resolved."
"I'm not telling you that if you break the curse, it will probably be even harder for you to see each other." Situ said, "What if it doesn't work..."
"father!"
"Bah, bah, bah, it will definitely work. Dad just wants you to give birth to a baby and then break the curse. When the curse is broken, there will also be an heir. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
Si Lengyue felt her head throbbing and said, "Dad, I really don't have the time or thought right now. By the way, take the deed, and if there's anything else, give the jade mine to Xixi."
Situ's face turned slightly pale: "Yue'er?"
"This jade mine is of no use to me. It's just used to make jewelry. Xixi can make it work better." Si Lengyue said with a smile: "I did it just in case."
Situ's eyes turned red after hearing this: "It's better not to understand this curse."
"Dad." Si Lengyue stood up and was about to say a few words of comfort when she suddenly felt the world was spinning, her vision went dark, and she fell back softly.
"Yue'er, what's wrong with you? Don't scare dad." Si Tu was shocked and said sharply: "Come here, come quickly, ask the doctor to pick up Master Qinglan."
