After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

"Donor Zhong!" The young monk clasped his hands together in front of Zhong Ning. "Donor Zhong, are you going down the mountain?"

"Yes, let's go down the mountain." Zhong Ning returned the greeting.

"Yesterday, the disciple in charge of purchasing returned and said that things are not going smoothly down the mountain now. It seems that a murder has occurred. Donor Zhong, please be extra careful on this trip!"

"Thank you, young master!" Zhong Ning expressed his sincere gratitude, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

She lived in the mountains for half a month and only contributed ten taels of silver to the incense money.

They are so stingy that it is really unbearable to look at.

But the Buddha statues in the temple are all made of gold.

The monks in the temple are all stronger than each other. Some of them are so fat that their heads are bloated. If they didn't have shaved heads, who would believe that they were monks?

Over the past half month, the food quality in the temple has not been low. Although every meal is vegetarian, there are many varieties and the taste is good.

In addition, she learned that Yongji Temple owned thousands of acres of fertile land.

This idea was simply wiped out because of a guilty conscience.

After thinking about it, Zhong Ning suppressed his urge to donate incense money.

Buddha is much richer than her.

If these ten taels of silver were in the suburbs of the county town, they could rent a house for at least half a year!

At worst, you can still buy more than 100 kilograms of food.

Even if it is to provide relief to disaster victims, it is better than donating incense!

Zhong Ning brainwashed himself in his mind and successfully convinced himself.

That’s right, she’s not stingy at all!

It’s because the big investors are too loose-handed.

He would donate hundreds or thousands of taels of silver at any time, as if it were free.

When it comes to disaster relief, they feel the pain of spending even a tael of silver.

Zhong Ning went down the mountain without any distractions, arrived at the tea stall at the foot of the mountain, drank a bowl of tea, and rented a carriage.

Coincidentally, there were pilgrims who went up the mountain to burn incense. The carriage dropped them off here and then headed back because the owner of the house wanted to be a vegetarian for seven days in the temple to pray for offspring, so the carriage had to return after dropping them off.

Come back to pick you up in seven days.

It was a good deal for Zhong Ning, so he borrowed it for a ride.

After arriving at the county town, we found that security was indeed very tight, and all merchants coming and going had to have their identities and travel permits checked.

Fortunately, Shen Yan had helped her get all these things before, otherwise it would be difficult for her to fool him.

She was now wearing women's clothing, which outlined her slender figure and her skin was fair and smooth. She had combed up all the squid-like tendrils that she had deliberately left on her hair before.

It is very different from the previous dark and ugly men's clothing image.

So there is no need to worry about anyone recognizing her.

She carried a small bag and walked towards the bookstore.

After not seeing her for half a month, Manager Xu was probably about to beat her to death.

When we got to the bookstore, we saw that the huge bookstore was completely blocked by a group of people.

Shopkeeper Xu, surrounded in the innermost circle, was wearing a gloomy face and was trying to defend himself with all his might: "Dear guests, dear guests, please be patient for a few days. Mr. Hongchen hasn't sent the new manuscript yet, so there's really no way to put the new book on the shelves!"

"You talk nicely. That's how you fooled us five days ago. We believed you, but what's the result?" a scholar retorted angrily.

The others echoed the scholar's voice, "Yes, boss, you are so unfair! We have been waiting for so long, I want to know what happened to Xu Xian now."

"That is, is he really scared to death? Can he be saved?"

"That White Lady drank realgar wine and lost control, revealing her true form. What should we do?"

"And what about Xiaoqing? She went out to avoid the Dragon Boat Festival. When will she come back?"

....

A group of people chattered and surrounded Manager Xu to ask for an answer.

Shopkeeper Xu was so upset that he almost cried out, "I want to know, I want to know too. You ask me, but who can I ask?"

Zhong Ning: ………

The shop assistants were blocking the way and were about to be overwhelmed. Shopkeeper Xu said helplessly, "Everyone, please listen to me. Place your order first. I guarantee that the third volume of "Legend of the White Snake" will be on the shelves in five days at most!"

"Five days after five days, how many days are there?"

"That's right, how can we trust you?"

Shopkeeper Xu felt a little pain in his heart, but he also knew that the reputation of a store was extremely important. He knew that Zhong Ning had warned him before that the third volume would be delivered a few days later.

But it hasn't been delivered yet, so he doesn't feel confident.

Suddenly, Zhong Ning stood not far away and waved at him.

Shopkeeper Xu's eyes lit up, and he looked like a new person. He promised the students who were still waiting to hear his lecture in a thunderous voice, "Rest assured, everyone. If we can't get the new book on the shelves within five days, we'll return double the deposit! No, triple it!"

Shopkeeper Xu held up three fingers and swore solemnly!

Everyone was shocked.

Or, believe him again?

Seeing everyone's hesitation, Shopkeeper Xu then explained, "I told you all before that Mr. Hongchen had something urgent to do and had to delay the delivery for a few days. This has delayed your important matters, but I can guarantee that Mr. Hongchen will submit the new manuscript within the next two days!"

Seeing the shopkeeper speak so confidently, everyone calmed down.

Line up consciously and place orders.

Fang Ping, who was hiding in the crowd, had a flash of light in his eyes.

The shopkeeper's expression changed drastically in an instant.

At first, he looked helpless and didn't know what to do, but suddenly he became confident, as if he was sure that Mr. Hongchen would deliver it on time.

This means that Mr. Hongchen is most likely nearby.

And saw this scene!

Fang Ping stepped out of the crowd, his eyes scanning all directions like a radar. When his gaze fell on the pancake shop not far behind the left side of the crowd.

I saw a girl in light green clothes, holding a pancake and eating it in front of the pancake stall.

While chewing, he looked over here.

There was a hint of ridicule in his eyes, as if he was laughing at a joke.

His expression was calm, yet he was confident.

Fang Ping had a hunch that Mr. Hongchen might not necessarily be a man. What if, in fact, she was a woman?

Thinking of this, Fang Ping slowly stepped aside and stood behind a kite stand nearby, hiding most of his figure.

He wanted to see if this was the person who entered the bookstore after the crowd dispersed.

A quarter of an hour later, the long crowd dispersed. As they left one by one, they looked at the shopkeeper with great anticipation, as if their eyes were saying, you must remember what you said!

Shopkeeper Xu smiled and watched the guests leave!

Then he turned around and faced Zhong Ning, his eyes filled with hurt and grievance. Zhong Ning swallowed the last bite of the pancake, took out his handkerchief and wiped it again and again, then slowly walked towards the bookstore.

Before he even reached the door, he saw Shopkeeper Xu coming up to him in two or three steps. "My little ancestor, you're finally here!"

"Manager Xu's business is booming!" Zhong Ning teased with a smile.

Shopkeeper Xu's face was filled with bitterness. "What's the point of prosperity? If you don't come soon, I'll cause public outrage."
