Crazy Xiuxian, boundless magic power

On the way back to the house after getting the money, Chu Wen saw a shop that specialized in making door plaques.

He entered the store and quickly negotiated a price.

The boss took out the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone and ground the ink himself.

Chu Wen held the pen in his hand, and the four words "Heaven on Earth" flashed through his mind.

Just about to write it down, I changed my mind.

I'll use those four words somewhere else in the future.

I saw him waving his hand and writing like a dragon.

The three connected characters "Feng Yin Ju" were already written.

"I wonder where to send the plaque after it is finished." asked the shopkeeper.

"It's in the old Xu Mansion in Taohua Lane in the south of the city. Once it's delivered, just hang it up there."

After Chu Wen finished speaking, he turned and left without noticing the shopkeeper's surprised look.

A door plaque cost three taels of silver. Fortunately, the old monk did not come with us, otherwise he would have been angry to death.

When Chu Wen returned to the house, Xiu'er was still sleeping and the old monk was taking a walk in the yard.

"Master, I want to go back to Horse-faced Village."

"What are you doing there?" The old monk looked at Chu Wen in surprise.

Chu Wen chuckled: "Hey, aren't Sister Wang and the others still in the village? I'll go back and take a look."

The old monk knew Chu Wen's temper. He was going back to give money to the widows. The three widows had taken good care of Chu Wen in the past, and for this they were looked down upon by many villagers.

Although the old monk had a foul mouth, he had a clear mind. Although this cheap disciple was crazy, he had a kind heart.

In the past, when he was asked to steal bacon from Li Quezi's house, he would always leave some for Li Quezi and steal it all without telling anyone else.

After he picked up Xiu'er, he gave her all the delicious food and changed his lazy nature. He dug wild vegetables and stole eggs everywhere. He was very diligent. He said that he wanted a balanced nutrition. He gave all the stolen eggs to Xiu'er and never let Xiu'er suffer any injustice.

Not only that, he would always keep half of the food the three widows secretly gave him for himself.

Seeing Chu Wen was about to return to Horse-faced Village, the old monk knew that Chu Wen must have hidden the money, so he did not reveal it, but just said:

"Go early and return early."

Chu Wen was shocked when he heard this. It was really strange that his master didn't object. All the lies he had thought of were in vain.

After breakfast, Chu Wen said goodbye to Xiu'er and Shiqinghuayi, and left with sweet words.

He had not meant to bring in flowery words.

But after thinking about it, it would be safer to keep these two troublemakers by my side than to leave them in the city.

……

Chu Wen is now wealthy and has a little girl by his side, and his mood is very different from when he first entered the city.

You can buy whatever you want to eat along the way, stay in an inn if you want to, and take a shower if you want to.

It was early summer, and the flowers were in full bloom. The three of them were walking and playing, having a great time.

Two days later.

noon.

Chu Wen arrived at Niubi Town and found that the Gao family had posted another notice.

A reward of thirty taels of silver is offered to find a skilled sorcerer who can ward off evil spirits and exorcise ghosts.

Chu Wen laughed secretly in his heart. Just as the old monk had expected, the evil ghost came out to harm people again.

Now that he had money in his pocket, he was too lazy to cheat for the thirty taels.

There was a kind-hearted woman in Niubi Town who gave Chu Wen two steamed buns, and Chu Wen always remembered it.

He walked through the streets and alleys, came to the door of that house and knocked gently.

"squeak"

The wooden door of the hut slowly opened, and the woman from before came out.

Chu Wen smiled slightly and said:

"Auntie, I'm a little thirsty, I want to ask for a bowl of water."

The woman was in her fifties, with a kind face and a gentle look. She laughed when she heard that.

"Wait a moment."

As he said this, he went back into the house and scooped up a large bucket of water.

Chu Wen took the water scoop and drank it down in one gulp.

I feel that this water is refreshing and very thirst-quenching.

After drinking, he handed the water scoop to Hua Yanqiaoyu.

After they finished drinking, Chu Wen took the ladle and handed it back to the woman.

The woman took the ladle and found it very heavy.

Looking down, I saw that the ladle was full of silver.

The woman quickly held the water scoop with both hands and looked at Chu Wen in surprise.

"This is?"

Chu Wen laughed heartily: "Haha, don't you remember me, Auntie?"

The woman looked at Chu Wen in surprise and suspicion, unable to remember who Chu Wen was.

Seeing this, Chu Wen smiled and said, "Madam, please keep this money as payment for the scoop of water and the two steamed buns I gave you last time."

When the woman heard this, she remembered that she had given two steamed buns to a monk ten days ago.

Wasn’t the young man in front of you the one standing behind the monk at that time?

But the young man at that time was unkempt and wore tattered clothes.

At this time, he was handsome and handsome, wearing flowing white clothes.

The only thing that hasn't changed is those eyes that are as clear as mountain spring water.

"Come on, sit inside, sit inside, young man, it seems you have made it."

The woman invited Chu Wen into the house and stuffed a ladle full of silver into Chu Wen's hands.

Chu Wen stepped into the hut, took the ladle and placed it on the table.

After entering the house, Chu Wenhua, who was a cadre who had gone to the countryside, asked in a friendly manner.

"May I know your surname, aunt? How old are you this year? How many people are there in your family?"

The woman moved three stools for Chu Wen and Hua Yanqiaoyu to sit on, and replied:

"My last name is Shen. I am fifty-five this year. My daughter is married, and my husband and I are the only ones at home..."

"It's Aunt Shen. Hello, Aunt Shen. Is there any difficulty at home?"

"I am an old woman, almost dying..."

"What are you talking about, Auntie? I think you are in good health and will definitely live a long life..."

After chatting for a while, Aunt Shen brought up the topic of the strange disease that Mr. Gao in the town had.

It was only from Aunt Shen's story that Chu Wen learned that there was not a single good person in the Gao family.

The Gao family relied on their large land holdings and a distant relative who was an official in the county to bully men and women in the town, and no one dared to mess with them.

Last year he abducted the daughter of Li the blacksmith at the west end of the town as his concubine, leaving only two taels of silver as payment for her marriage.

The girl from the Li family had a strong temper and committed suicide by jumping into a well a few days later.

I heard that he was tortured in various ways by the Gao family when he was alive, and now he has turned into a fierce ghost and come back for revenge.

After hearing this, Chu Wen secretly felt fortunate that he failed to kill the female ghost, otherwise he would have felt guilty.

Then I heard Aunt Shen say:

"That beast, Taoist Dong, has no ability to suppress Lady Li, but instead came up with a bad idea that would end the family lineage. He let Master Gao marry a wife to bring good luck, and now he wants to harm Widow Wang from Horse-faced Village..."

"what!!!"

Chu Wen was shocked when he heard this and suddenly stood up!

"Auntie, who did you just say?!"

"It's Widow Wang from Horse-faced Village in the south. How come? Do you know her?"

Chu Wen was extremely anxious.

"I know him! I know him! What's going on? Tell me quickly, ma'am!"

"Alas, everyone in the town knows what kind of person Mr. Gao is. Who would be willing to marry their daughter to a demon? Lai Fu, the servant of the Gao family, is familiar with the widow Wang from Horse-faced Village, so he came up with a bad idea and wanted to spend 15 taels of silver to buy a person from the widow Wang's in-laws..."

"What! Where's the person?! Have you bought him back?"

"The bridal sedan that was just carried out this morning should have reached Horse-faced Village by now."

"Goodbye, Auntie!"

Chu Wen kicked his feet, rushed out of the gate like a fly, and ran towards Ma Mian Village.

As he ran, Chu Wen found that Hua Yanqiaoyu was following him at a leisurely pace.

The two of them were neither blushing nor out of breath, and from time to time they would pick some green grass from the roadside to eat.

After two quarters of an hour, Chu Wen could no longer run.

He supported himself on his knees, bent over and gasped for breath, and said breathlessly:

"Aren't you two tired?"

"Not tired."

Hua Yanqiaoyu squatted beside Chu Wen and said with a smile.
