"You are quite brave, you dare to defraud him of his money."
Miss Song took off her hat and looked at him again. This time, there was more appreciation in her eyes.
Yue Guanchao took a closer look, and saw that Miss Song had a pair of shining red phoenix eyes, a suitable shade of willow leaf eyebrows, and an oval face lightly painted with pink and white. Just now, she was covered with a black gauze, so she couldn't see clearly. Now this woman was moving around, she was really graceful, Yue Guanchao couldn't help but his eyes lit up. .
"This money is just for plundering the people anyway. If you don't take it, you won't get it for free."
He blew the silver dollar, turned around and stuffed it into the old man's hand: "You were beaten by them. This counts as medical expenses. Take it."
"But... I don't dare to accept it. I still have to open the door for business."
Song Siyuan saw the old man's worry and rolled her eyes: "Old man, you don't have to worry. If they still dare to embarrass you, just go to Song's house in Nanluo Lane to find me. Li Debiao values his official career and will not embarrass you."
"Then...thank you very much, girl, I...I have to go do some business. What a living Buddha!"
After the old man left, Yue Guanchao took up his horse. Song Siyuan saw that he was going on his way and quickly stopped him: "Where are you going? I'll give you a ride."
"Farewell, I can ride a horse. Besides, the place I am going to is the Anguo Temple Charity Home where the poor are gathered. You may not want to go there."
When she heard about the location, she raised her eyebrows lightly and said, "What a coincidence, I'll go there too."
"boarding!"
Yue Guanchao was not a shy person, so he followed Song Siyuan into the car and whistled at the little stallion.
The car started with a rumble, and the little stallion followed behind the car. One car and one horse ran towards Anguo Temple on Desheng Street.
As soon as we arrived near Anguo Temple, the pagoda temple stood among the surrounding low-rise residential buildings, looking like a flock of chickens standing tall. The temple was full of incense and green smoke curled up, and pilgrims and devotees often came in and out to add incense.
As soon as they stepped into the mountain gate, they saw Lu Fengjian in Mao suit and waved to each other.
"Miss Song, Guanchao, how do you two know each other?"
Lu Fengjian ran over, obviously not believing that the two of them knew each other, and had a lot of curiosity in his eyes.
Yue Guanchao laughed and said, "Hey, don't mention it. I stepped on a poop basin as soon as I entered the city today, which made me sick. It's up to Miss Song to help me fight the injustice, otherwise I will be caught by those eagle dogs and taken to the Security Bureau."
"Come on, I'll take you to the backyard."
Lu Fengjian led them through the Main Hall and across the verandah to the backyard. The place immediately became lively, with children running around from time to time.
As he walked, he said: "The backyard of Anguo Temple has recently been transformed into a Ciyu Hall, which gives the children a place to stay. The host knew that I come often, so he asked me to teach."
Yue Guanchao looked around and asked Song Siyuan: "Isn't someone like Miss Song here to offer incense?"
She shook her head: "The incense is the second most important thing. The main thing is to send out donations. The preparations are almost complete this month."
"But." Song Siyuan changed the subject, looking down at the new mud stuck to the sides of Yue Guanchao's shoes, thoughtfully: "I'm very curious. Mr. Yue came from outside the city. He must have walked all night. You are here. , it shouldn’t just be a simple reminiscence of old times.”
After saying that, she handed over her business card: "If you need anything, you can come to see me at Song House, Nanluo Lane, Deyou Street."
After Song Siyuan left, Lu Fengjian took him into the Zen room, his eyes became concerned: "Tell me, what's the matter."
Yue Guanchao closed the door and his face fell instantly:
"Something happened to the second artillery piece."
In the blink of an eye, Yue Guanchao kept his story short and told everything that had happened in the past few days.
After Lu Fengjian listened, he sat at the kang table and was lost in thought for a while, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Maybe we could send him to the provincial capital for medical treatment."
After finishing speaking, Lu Fengjian's face was slightly angry: "I should have sent it to you as soon as possible, but now you have come to this stage to say, do you really treat me as an outsider?"
Yue Guanchao scratched the back of his head and explained with a smile: "Ajian, aren't I afraid of causing trouble for you? You have just established yourself in Fengtian, and I can't drag you down even if I think about it."
He stood up and walked to Yue Guanchao: "How about sending a telegram to the town and asking Uncle Yue to bring the second artilleryman."
"Don't worry, this can't be done. Granny Ma said that the herbs he gave Erpao had already suppressed the disease. People were running wild along the way, and they were gone before they even got to the place."
Yue Guanchao knew that this would not work, so he had no choice but to give up his idea: "Actually, I also sent the county to see the critical moment of the accident. Those in white coats said that it could not be cured, and I was starving for several days. It was Granny Ma. He was temporarily stabilized with plum blossom moxibustion."
"If this is the only way, do you really plan to go to Witch Coffin Town?"
Lu Fengjian knew that Yue Guanchao had the same temperament as his second uncle Yue Qingshan, and he would never change his beliefs.
Yue Guanchao was at the end of his rope and couldn't think of any way out. He thought that this was the only way to go: "I have to go, but from my second uncle's reaction, Wu Coffin Town is not easy. Going there without any preparation would be to die. I think Since you are the best at reading in the village, help me check out Witch Coffin Town first."
Lu Fengjian figured out what he meant and knew that he could not stay out of the matter. He said slowly: "If you want to check these things, I am not very good at it, but I know there is someone who can definitely help."
"who!"
Yue Guanchao's eyes lit up!
Lu Fengjian said nothing, and glanced at the kang table, focusing on the business card.
