The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

Xu Yao was sleeping soundly at night when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps. She sat up reluctantly and listened carefully. She heard the sharp voice of the young Taoist priest coming from the old Taoist priest's room.

"Oh no, Immortal, there's a fire at the foot of the mountain."

The immortal came out of the house and went to the tower with him to check.

Kang Runyue and the others didn't seem to be asleep either, and they all came out to see what was going on.

Xu Yao thought about it, then stood up and walked outside.

She found the old Taoist priest and looked down from the high Taoist temple. Sure enough, she saw bright flames not far away.

There were only a few lights in the past, but today it is so bright, I'm afraid it's a sea of ​​fire.

After a while, another young Taoist priest came over and shouted at the foot of the tower: "Immortal, there is a fire coming up the mountain from below, what should we do?"

Without waiting for the immortal to react, Xu Yao immediately beat drums and gongs, asking the Taoists to come out quickly, close the doors and windows, and guard the gate of the Taoist temple.

If the situation is not right, there will probably be a fierce battle.

The young Taoist priests, holding weapons in their hands, blocked the gate according to Xu Yao's instructions to prevent any accidents.

Xu Yao climbed to a high place to check the situation, and saw flames gathering at the entrance of the Taoist temple.

Xu Yao took a look and realized that these were not robbers. These people came with their families, men, women, young and old, women and children. Some were carrying food on their backs, some were holding children in their arms, and some were even holding their own chickens and ducks.

These are not bandits at all; they are clearly people from the surrounding villages seeking refuge.

Xu Yao jumped back and felt a little worried. It seemed inappropriate to let them in under this circumstance?

But this Taoist temple is not hers, and she cannot make the decision on such matters. She can only go to see the old Taoist priest.

The Immortal of the South Sea didn't even frown as he asked the young Taoist priest to open the door and let the person in.

Xu Yao: "Although your place is big, there are not enough houses. With so many people, not everyone has a place to rest and sleep."

Nanhai Xianweng nodded and said, "Then let them rest in the main hall. It will be enough if they have a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

"What about the food problem? You don't have that much food here. Take care of these people."

This old Taoist priest was truly cultivating immortality, he normally ate little and also taught his disciples some methods of fasting. In the entire Taoist temple, except for Xu Yao who was a big eater, everyone else was skinny and full of energy, which made Xu Yao think that they were all going to become immortals, but she was the only one who was greedy for the mundane world and could not forget the meat in it.

The old Taoist priest looked at her and smiled, "Everything is God's will. Go open the door."

After receiving the affirmative instruction, the young Taoist priest took people to open the door.

Xu Yao looked at the people who came in one after another, each of them with a frightened look on their face, looking for a place to stay. He had no choice but to take people to clean up the place and clear out the hall so that the elderly, the weak, women and children could rest in the hall of the Three Pure Ones.

The man had no place to stay, so he let them live under the eaves. Fortunately, it was late summer and not as cold as winter.

Seeing this, Kang Runyue gave up her room and squeezed in with her parents.

Xu Yao was unwilling to do such a thing, so she slept peacefully in her room and did not allow these people to look for her.

The old Taoist priest asked the young Taoist priests to guard the mountain gate, patrol and check the situation, and take turns to be on duty at night.

Xu Yao went straight back to his room and went to sleep without saying a word.

Seeing her like this, the old Taoist knew that she did not agree with his approach, but she was kind-hearted, otherwise he would not have offered to help.

The next day, at dawn, Xu Yao was awakened by the chirping sounds.

She got up from the bed, washed herself casually, and planned to go to the kitchen to get something to eat.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the door, he saw the little Taoist priest being pushed to the ground by the big man.

The big man was burly, and he was followed by a few minions. They pointed at the young Taoist priest and cursed him. "Fuck you, your temple clearly has meat, why do you let us drink porridge? I want to eat meat."

As he said this, he kicked the little Taoist priest. The little Taoist priest instinctively protected himself, but the pain did not come to him. Instead, he heard the sound of a slap.

Then someone flew out and fell heavily to the ground.

The little Taoist priest opened his eyes and was pulled up by Xu Yao.

The man who had just been showing off his power and looked ferocious was slapped away by Xu Yao. Not only that, he also knocked out several of his teeth, and the man's mouth was full of blood.

The minions were stunned for a moment, and when they reacted, they surrounded Xu Yao and the others.

Xu Yao protected the little Taoist priest behind him and told him not to be afraid.

The burly man walked over and glared at Xu Yao: "How dare you hit me? Your broken Taoist temple usually enjoys my offerings, but now not only don't give me food, but also dare to hit people. I will kill you."

Xu Yao raised her leg and kicked, and before anyone could react, several slaps flew out. All the people were beaten around in circles and fell to the ground one by one, covering their mouths, unable to stand up.

The little Taoist couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh. The dispute here finally attracted the curiosity of others, and they all came to join in the fun.

Xu Yao looked at the people, including men, women, young and old, sneered, and said loudly, "Since you are all here, I will make this clear, and you can spread it by word of mouth, so that I don't have to say it a second time.

You came to my Taoist temple to ask for medicine and ask for the way. The old temple master is kind and never charges money if he can. Today, you are in trouble and come here to seek refuge. The old temple master opened the door and let you in without saying a word. It doesn't matter if you are not grateful, but the food in this Taoist temple is light and there is not much food stored. Before you come, you should bring your own food and think about what kind of treatment you will get.

This is not a charity, and I have no obligation to provide you with anything for free. You can take shelter here for a while when you encounter difficulties, tolerate each other, and get through the difficulties. But if there are those who don't know what's good for them and want to show off their power here, bully the children in my Taoist temple, and treat us as slaves, then don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless. I will kill a few people to open your eyes."

The big man whose face was swollen from being slapped was very dissatisfied when he heard this. He stood up and continued to confront Xu Yao head-on.

Suddenly, several people rushed out from the crowd and grabbed him. He was a handsome man. His skin was a healthy wheat color, probably because he had been working outside for many years.

Then he heard him say, "Hu Niu, you are looking for trouble again. You guys take him down. If these people cause trouble again, throw them all off the mountain."

The man stood up again and bowed to Xu Yao and the young Taoist priest to apologize, "I'm really sorry for making you feel wronged. We are the villagers, not the ungrateful ones. We will always remember your kindness."

After he finished saying this, everyone followed suit and said that they had brought dry food. Those people were just scoundrels who were lazy and ate a lot on weekdays. When something happened, they were only concerned about escaping without any preparation. They even wanted to steal the children's food, but failed, so they came to cause trouble for the Taoist priest.

Seeing that they still had some conscience, Xu Yao did not continue to make things difficult for them.

He let them make a fire and cook on the open space to solve the problem of eating, and then took the little Taoist priest into the kitchen.
