The old monk advised earnestly: "You are still young, you don't know the dangerous world. The people in the city are worse than each other. You have to divide the territory to beg for food. The dilapidated temples and houses all have owners. You have to pay for a sip of water..."

If Chu Wen had not lived in the city in his previous life, he would have been scared by him.

"Master, how bad can they be? Are they as bad as us?"

The old monk knew that Chu Wen was determined to go into the city and had mentioned it many times.

It’s good to go into the city!

The first is to make this fool give up the idea.

Second, you can also go and see that person.

The old monk pondered for a long time and finally agreed.

"Ten days, ten days is untenable, I must come back."

"okay."

……

the next day.

Chu Wen got up early in the morning and stole a sack of sweet potatoes, estimating that it would last him ten days.

The old monk tried to lift the bag, but he couldn't lift it. He thought to himself that the boy was very strong and the sweet potatoes were not eaten in vain.

The master and his two disciples had a quick breakfast.

The old monk stuffed Xiu'er's beautiful clothes into his arms, carried the broken iron pot on his back, held Xiu'er in his arms, and picked up a peach wood stick in his hand.

Chu Wen picked up the sweet potatoes.

The three of them went down the mountain as the old monk looked back frequently.

Not long after we walked, a drizzle started to fall from the sky.

"It's raining, walk faster." urged the old monk.

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's raining up ahead too."

As he staggered down the mountain, Chu Wen discovered that the wooden sign he had knocked down had stood up again.

He got angry when he saw the wooden sign and kicked it down with a flying kick. As a result, he slipped on the ground and fell into the mud.

Chu Wen stood up while cursing, looked up at the misty mountain village, and said silently in his heart:

"Sister Wang, Sister Xu, Sister Zhou, please wait for me. I will be back."

He never forgot the three widows who had helped him.

And Zhang the Butcher who beat him up must give him two big slaps in return.

Exactly.

The drizzle in the mountains is as soft as butter, and the crazy man is thinking about the three widows.

When I return to the valley in glory, I must beat up Zhang the Butcher.

Ugh.

Chu Wen sighed.

Thinking back to the thousands of study materials and two T of top-secret files on my computer hard drive in my previous life, I felt very sad.

After working so hard to store the data, I finally got two Ts, and when I was exercising my kirin arm, I was struck by lightning for no reason.

I don’t know which god is so shameless as to chop them randomly.

It was chopped off, and Chu Wen accepted it.

But what kind of god would only strike down perverts? At least you struck down the computer as well.

I really can’t imagine the scene of my younger sister, who lives with me, entering my room.

Ugh.

I know everything is empty after death, but I am sad that I didn’t see the hard drive melt. When my sister opens the file, she will tell this to my father.

Thinking of this, a tear slid down Chu Wen's face, splashing two T's of lovesickness.

……

Mamian Village is located on the border of Qingyun State, under the jurisdiction of Shuiniu County, about three days' journey from the county seat.

In the afternoon, the old monk and his three companions arrived at a small town.

Chu Wen looked up and saw three big characters engraved on the tattered plaque at the entrance of the town: Niubi Town.

"Master, is the name of this town so awesome?"

"Awesome Town is not in this direction."

The old monk held Xiu'er in his arms and walked in front.

Chu Wen was greatly surprised when he heard this, and took a few quick steps to catch up.

"Master, there really is an awesome town."

"This is the border of Buffalo County. Beyond Niubi Town are Niujiao Town, Niubei Town, and Niujian Town. Buffalo County is right between Niubei Town and Niudu Town, and it's still two days' walk away."

"Ah... what a name... Master, don't people here read?"

"What do you know? Buffalo County is shaped like a cow. Isn't that a bad name?"

"..."

As soon as the old monk entered the town, he went from house to house begging for alms.

Chu Wen carried sweet potatoes and followed behind to learn the skills.

Perhaps because he was holding a baby in his arms, the kind-hearted woman actually gave the old monk two steamed buns.

Chu Wen silently took note of this kind family.

The master and his disciple drooled at the sight of the white steamed buns. They quickly found a secluded corner, gave each of them one, and squatted down to eat.

Chu Wen held Xiu'er in his arms and gave her half of his steamed bun.

Xiu'er, who had been eating sweet potatoes for more than ten days in a row, thought steamed buns were delicious.

I saw her little mouth moving non-stop. After a while, half of the steamed bun went into her stomach. Then she drooled and looked at Chu Wen eagerly.

Chu Wen had only eaten half of the steamed bun in his hand. When he saw Xiu'er's cute appearance, he grinned and stuffed the rest of the steamed bun into Xiu'er's hand.

Unexpectedly, Xiu'er took the steamed bun but didn't eat it, and handed it back to Chu Wen.

"Brother eat."

A warm current flowed through Chu Wen's heart.

"Xiu'er, be good. Brother doesn't like to eat this. Brother only likes to eat sweet potatoes. Xiu'er, eat it."

When the old monk saw this scene, he felt embarrassed to eat alone. He snorted and angrily broke off a piece of steamed bun and handed it to Chu Wen.

"Why is this baby's belly so big?"

Chu Wen didn't bother to respond. He took the steamed bun and clinked it with Xiu'er's bun with a smile: "Cheers."

This game was so good at playing that Xiu'er also learned to say, "Gan Bo."

Seeing that her brother also had a steamed bun in his hand, Xiu'er stopped being polite and started eating it immediately.

Chu Wen pretended to take a few big bites, but what he actually took in was only air.

The old monk looked at the two funny guys as if they were fools, and sighed in his heart:

A fool and a pregnant baby, the future ahead is worrying.

……

After eating, we set off.

After walking for a while, we saw a high wall in the town crowded with people.

The old monk brought Chu Wen to watch the fun.

I only heard someone in the crowd talking:

"Mr. Gao is obviously possessed by an evil spirit. Several doctors have left, and the family is preparing a coffin."

"He doesn't do good deeds at ordinary times, but now he comes to burn incense. I think no one can save him."

"Yes, it is probably Miss Li who jumped into the well last year and came back to seek revenge."

"You know what, it seems that Madam Li's death anniversary is in these few days."

"Mrs. Li was such a good person, but she was forced to commit suicide by jumping into a well. I think the Gao family deserved it..."

……

The old monk read the notice and listened attentively.

Chu Wen looked up and saw a reward notice on the wall, seeking a miracle doctor who could cure diseases and exorcise evil spirits.

The reward is thirty taels of silver.

As soon as Chu Wen finished reading the list, he was pulled away from the crowd by the old monk.

When they reached a secluded place, the old monk said excitedly:

"Here's your chance to make money. You can exorcise evil spirits, right? Come with me to Gao's house!"

Chu Wen was stunned.

"I can exorcise evil spirits? When did I learn how to exorcise evil spirits?"

"Just do what you did that night, and you'll make thirty taels. You'll be rich, very rich."

"Master, I'm not stupid. I can tell whether it can be cured or not."

"You idiot, if I say yes, it's fine! Just do it as you did that day, and leave the rest to me."

"Master, what I said that day was just nonsense. It won't work."

The old monk was so angry that he stamped his feet. He knew that this idiot was a stubborn man and his only weakness was Xiu'er. For Xiu'er, this idiot would do anything.

The old monk rolled his eyes and softened his tone.

"Think about it, three steamed buns cost two cents, and one tael of silver is worth a thousand cents. How many steamed buns can you buy with thirty taels? If you don't think about me, think about Xiu'er. She is growing up now. Can she be healthy if she eats sweet potatoes every day? Look how much Xiu'er loves steamed buns."

After saying this, Xiu'er actually said "hmm" and nodded vigorously, indicating that she really likes eating steamed buns.

Chu Wen looked at Xiu'er with a loving expression, thinking:

I remembered that allicin can kill bacteria and willow bark contains aspirin. I also remembered some basic hygiene knowledge. I might as well give it a try. What if I guessed right?

"Okay, let's go and take a look. Master, do you know where Gao's house is?"

The old monk became interested when he heard it, and it turned out that this trick worked.

"Follow me, there's nothing I don't know!"
