with the way

Chapter 4

Cheng En uttered lines like saving people from all over the world, like living Buddhas and gods, and ran away in a hurry after pretending, completely ignoring Xue Mei who was like a chicken.He hurried to the shopkeeper and settled the bill with a pile of copper plates and scraps of silver. There was still some money left and he couldn't pay the bill, so he asked for a VIP discount with a faceless face.

Up to the shopkeeper of the bustard, down to the waiter's guards, they despised this down-and-out stinky Taoist priest.Cheng En was kicked out by the guards in the end. To be precise, he rolled away spontaneously without being kicked out by anyone.

Cheng En ran fast, he really wasn't cowardly.He didn't know whether the young man wanted to leave here or not, and he didn't know the dispute between Xue Meizi and this little mirage that was passed on by word of mouth. Maybe he was just bought here by his family.Speaking out is acting like a hero for a while.

After all, according to his meticulous observation, there are many tricks and tricks in Chunlou to attract customers.The world is so big, there are always those who like to chase after the ice beauty and lick their feet.Maybe some people like those who look superior on the surface, but are passionate in private, enjoying the ultimate feeling brought by the dual world of ice and fire.He didn't know if this Xue Meizi followed this routine to cater to the preferences of the guests, if she did it rashly, she might startle the snake.

After leaving the small mirage, Cheng En returned to his temporary accommodation on the top of the mountain, changed into a classic Taoist uniform, smeared his face with black mud oil, and put on a mustache before going to the street to set up his Taoist stall of Huang Daxian .

Although it is really ugly, it is better than letting someone with a heart recognize it.

Sure enough, Rongxian and Changzhou were compatriots of the same mother. Cheng Daoist, who got along very well in Changzhou, soon made a fortune in Rongxian, known as the best fortune teller in the world.With some spare cash in his pocket, Cheng Shengun rented a new room in the inn opposite Mirage. The owners are a couple, they are honest, and the price of food and accommodation is reasonable.

The proprietress was just pregnant, and because of her special occupation, the owner of the store waited for Cheng En's words of the great fairy every day, so as to pray for his unborn child.Cheng En was also happy to say a few auspicious words every morning, which saved him a lot of rent.

There has been no reply from Mirage. Cheng En sets up a stall every day to save money, and his life is two-point and one-line.The streets in Rong County are not as magnificent as those in Changzhou City. They are full of small street vendors, bustling with each other.One morning when Cheng Daoshi went to set up a stall outside, he was filled up by a little furry boy.

The little hairy boy should be a beggar, dressed in rags and linen, but with very bright eyes.He was running on the street, but accidentally ran into Cheng En who was walking without eyes.

Perhaps because he was afraid of being scolded by this strange uncle, the little boy apologized hurriedly, and slipped away like a loach.

Cheng Daoshi stood there puzzled.

When Cheng En closed the stall, the little boy came again.

At that time, Cheng En was releasing a lottery to an old man. His daughters-in-law had been unable to give birth to sons, but only some daughters. A good lineage.

The Taoist priest Cheng looked at the lottery in his hand, and began to make nonsense: "Old man, you offended the big boy under Guanyin's seat a few years ago, and you can only see when that big boy can calm down and when your family can hold a grandson. But Fortunately, the second boy who Guanyin sat down is a girl. Seeing you are pitiful, I didn’t let the old man see that your grandchildren are stillborn. So, it’s not good for you to suffer for those girls. The relationship between the two boys is good, otherwise your family will have no children or grandchildren."

The old man complained bitterly: "Why did I offend the big boy?"

Cheng En shook his folding fan and asked, "Old man, think about it again?"

The old man thought about it, but he was not sure: "Could it be that I beat a beggar on the street at that time, told him to hate me, and went to the big boy to sue me?"

Cheng En picked his mustache, and said seriously: "I guess it should be the incarnation of the big boy descending to earth."

Then the little fur kid popped out from the corner of the table.When Cheng En saw it, he pointed to the doll and said, "The old man can still adopt some lonely little ones. I'm very happy. The big boy won't be angry with you. Your family will have a grandson, but don't cross the river and tear down the bridge. Remember, remember."

The old man yelled a few words of Daxian in grief, and then went home desperately.

After fooling the old man away, the little boy put a wallet on the table.This little boy was only half a head taller than Cheng En's Taoist table, just showing a pair of eyes.

The little boy looked at Taoist Cheng dryly, and said, "Master Dao, you lost your wallet. I searched for you on the street for a long time before I found you."

Cheng En was taken aback, this was indeed his purse.

He shook it. Although the purse was heavy, it was actually filled with stones, which were used to prevent thieves.So he took out a small piece of broken silver from another small pouch close to his body, and used it to buy candy for the little furry boy.

The little hairy beggar looked very happy, and said happily: "Master, can I come tomorrow?"

Cheng En shook the small broken fan and nodded.

So the next day, all the beggars who walked around appeared in front of Cheng Daoshi's vendor, and came to buy candy with money.A group of gray-headed and gray-faced little furry children spread out their small hands in front of him, shouting: "I want it too!"

Cheng En: "..."

Cheng En looked at the row of radish heads, and finally realized that he was tricked by that little boy named Erwa.He can't favor one person over another, otherwise the ones who are missing can beat the fat ones who have more.

In Rong County, there are a lot of beggars, and the methods of begging are rich and varied. Taoist Cheng has a deep understanding of this.

This is a group of wandering beggars. Haohao Tangtang begged aimlessly all the way. There were about 30 people. They were basically a group of teenagers. Under a stone bridge, I temporarily settled down in the bridge hole.Most of these wild children's parents died early, and they have been on the road for a long time, so they are very courageous.When encountering customers who are unwilling to pluck their hair, they will secretly take their wallets.Seeing those who were soft-hearted, they played wildly and shamelessly.They usually have a fixed partner, and they go to rich people's homes to cover and sing oboe, and they can always get a lot of benefits.

From then on, Cheng En was completely missed by them.Every time he crossed that bridge, the little beggars flocking to him would take away all the hard-earned money he had worked hard for a day and got fortune-telling.

A gray-faced Taoist priest, with a few ragged children hanging from his body, walked on the bridge and could not retreat or retreat. The scene was funny.

Beggar A shouted: "You took so much and I don't have it!"

Beggar B was louder than him: "Where there is more, there is more fat!"

Beggar A: "Where did he go? I'll beat him up!"

Beggar B pushed Beggar A away: "I left early, who is to blame for my late arrival?"

Moreover, the beggars around him are not easy to fool, as if they know that he is rich, and they can't leave satisfied with one or two copper coins.Even if Cheng En didn't pass by the bridge, they could still touch Cheng En's stall and beg for some rewards cheekily.

In the evening, Yewa finished work and ate and drank together around the bonfire under the bridge hole.Cheng En was so lucky, because he paid a lot of money and was slaughtered more times, he became a special guest of the little beggars, and they ate roast chicken, potatoes, and stewed sweet potatoes together around the stove under the bridge hole.

After more than ten days, Cheng En got acquainted with this group of dolls, and his reputation spread far and wide.The group of beggars in Rong County knew that this taoist Taoist who looked as shabby as they were and had a weak kidney was actually very rich, super rich, and extraordinarily generous and cowardly.

Cheng En laughed dryly. In order to prevent being followed by the mirage, the earth-colored mud on his face almost cracked.Can only pretend to look deeply at the sky.

"The Daoist eats it. The old woman in the rich man's house gave it to me. It's delicious."

Among this group of beggars, he was somewhat restless.The little beggar can't control so much, "Master Taoist, eat quickly, if you don't eat, you will look down on us."

A group of people chattered around, "That's right, Taoist priest, don't look down on us..."

Cheng En expressionlessly swallowed a piece of glutinous rice cake that the beggar handed over.

Seeing him eating, the group of children were very happy and applauded one after another, as if they were recognized.

"Cheng Daochang, you will be our brother from now on!"

"Cheng Daochang is the big brother!"

Seeing that Cheng En ate and drank with them without any scruples, these little beggars also regarded him as their own family, and they couldn't control Cheng En too much at the moment, discussing what they had seen and heard all day.The little beggars were all wearing dusty and rotten clothes, and their faces were also dirty.It took Cheng En a lot of effort to barely recognize everyone.

Gou Sheng: "That fat man has a very fat face, a face of cheap meat."

Fat Run: "Today I saw a man in a long gown. He didn't even know that I took his pocket, and he even told the man next to him what his wife was. He's so stupid. He's still thinking about high school."

Suddenly, Erwa said: "Does the person lying on the ground with no hands or feet earn more? I'll ask." It was a beggar who had been wandering with this group of beggars.

Fei Run laughed and said, "You don't care about others, why don't you try it too."

Erwa stuck out her tongue: "I don't want it, it hurts so much..."

Little Wolf: "It seems to be quite a lot. He pays the most protection fees every time. Uncle Zeng brings him the best food every time."

Cheng En was taken aback: "Uncle Zeng?"

The beggars saw that Big Brother Cheng had been silent for a long time, and finally asked a question, and immediately started chattering.

Erwa: "As long as you pay more protection fees, you can get new clothes."

Little Wolf: "Uncle Zeng is protecting us, we have to pay the protection fee! Otherwise we will be bullied by others!"

Fei Run: "I didn't pay the protection fee. A few days ago, my third brother was beaten to death by that hooligan on the street." He didn't realize that he was also a hooligan.

Cheng En also asked these beggars one by one the reason for their "departure". Basically, they got lost with their families, flooded their homes, and their parents died.I also know that there must be a leader to gather this group of beggars, get through the top and bottom, and let this group of ignorant children with tiny fists have something to cling to.If this small group is dismantled, it is uncertain where this group of homeless dolls will end up.

Between the two options, I can't tell which one is more pitiful.

And we can't let this group of poor kids mess around like this. Those with clean hands and feet are fine, but if those with dirty hands and feet meet with someone who is a little more aggressive, it's unknown what will happen.

Cheng Enhan smiled and looked at a big beggar who didn't fit in.

This big beggar is called dumb, but he is not dumb.The mute is considered the elder brother in this group of beggars, but this group of little hairy children generally don't pay much attention to him.Cheng En noticed him early on, purely because he was a quiet, low-key man who would not take rewards when he saw that he was offered, which made him very unobtrusive among this group of homeless people.He never answered other people's questions. Over time, he was called dumb.

Although the lively and outgoing children disdain the mute for pretending to be lofty, and look like someone owes him money, they never really do anything, and the mute will follow along with them all.Erwa was kind, and sometimes gave the mute some money.

The mute also knew that Cheng En was looking at him, raised his head in silence, then lowered his head to concentrate on nibbling the sweet potato in his hand.

Cheng En was a little upset. Since he came down from the mountain, he has been doing fortune-telling for others, and what he hears the most is about the lost child.It happened that my nagging master was not around, so I wanted to take a dip in the muddy water to find out where the group of dolls had arrived.So he came to Changzhou and inquired about Zhangjia Wharf, Mr. Zheng's family and the mirage.

Most of the dolls in the mirage are of unknown origin, Cheng En can be sure.

God's will tricks people, for some unknown reason, Zhangjia Wharf suddenly shut down a few days ago.

Similarly, Xue Meizi, who he wanted to catch on the first day, not only did not come to him, but also must have woken up the others. Mirage was more strictly guarded inside and out.Cheng En also wanted to enter the palace for the second time, so he changed his face and wandered outside, but the gatekeeper saw his face and drove him away mercilessly.It is said that the wind has been tight recently, and individual customers are not accepted.

Cheng Daoshi hugged his calf and looked sadly at the light.During these days, he basically did nothing except create performance for the little beggars.He also wanted to stay overnight to explore the mirage, but unfortunately his skills were really weak, if he wanted to investigate at night, it would be a big mess, Cheng En didn't want to startle the snake as a last resort.

The beggars were still laughing and joking, and unexpectedly, the uncle Zeng, whom the group of beggars were talking about, suddenly visited.

I saw a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and an ordinary figure stepping into the bottom of the bridge carrying a food box.Seeing this, the children swarmed up and surrounded Uncle Zeng, asking Sang to ask for his attention and get some delicious food by the way.Cheng En's side suddenly became deserted, leaving only a second child to remind him quickly: "Brother Cheng, hide quickly, Uncle Zeng doesn't like us talking to other people."

Cheng En suddenly changed from a sweet potato to a hot potato.

Before he had time to hide his figure, Uncle Zeng noticed a person sneaking in, pushed aside the crowd of beggars around him, and said vigilantly, "Taoist?"

Wanting to run but failed, Cheng En Fu forehead sneered and said: "Fortune teller."

The group of dolls swallowed and chattered, "Brother Cheng is doing well, he is very quick to give money, even though he doesn't have much money."

Erwa: "Uncle Zeng, don't be angry!"

Gou Sheng: "We like Brother Cheng very much! He has a copy of Huang Daxian!"

Fei Run: "Every time I get a lot of money from Brother Cheng! More than all of them!"

……

The group of children hurriedly talked about Cheng En's well-being. The uncle Zeng looked at Cheng En with interest, but his eyes were still alert. He smiled and said, "Oh? Then ask the Taoist priest to make a fortune for me." .”

Cheng En knew that Uncle Zeng was afraid that he would spoil his good deeds, but in fact Cheng En was powerless.Before he found a better way to deal with these lonely people, he would not rush out, and there was another thing that gave him a very headache right now.Cheng En brushed out his work and said, "It's better to obey than to be respectful."

As soon as the signing was signed, Zuo Ci played Cao Cao.

Cheng Daoshi broke out in a cold sweat. He committed the crime of drawing lots. How come he has been drawing lots lately? !

Uncle Zeng was waiting for Cheng En to release the lottery, and the group of dolls were also waiting to hear the story, urging them non-stop.

Cheng En wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said nonsense: "This signature is Zuo Ci playing Cao Cao. This Mr. Zuo Ci's Taoist name is Mr. Wujiao. He has studied the art of alchemy and has supernatural powers. One day, Zuo Ci attended Cao Cao's At the banquet, he used all kinds of spells to tease Cao Cao, the treacherous hero. He gave Cao Cao a tribute, and Cao Cao was furious when he saw that there was no pulp. He wanted to chase and kill Zuo Ci. Of course Cao Cao got nothing."

Cheng En cleared his throat, "The meaning of this lottery is that you have a skill and are omnipotent. Even if you are murdered by a traitor, you will be able to turn the bad luck into good fortune and make your way to the top."

The group of dolls listened to him quietly, and then started to scream strangely after hearing the story:

"Of course a good person like Uncle Zeng can turn danger into good luck!"

"Dare to give away oranges without pulp, this Zuo Ci is really bad."

"Oh, what do you know, Cao Cao was a big villain in history, okay?"

"Brother Cheng, can you tell me other stories?"

"Brother Cheng, are alchemy spells really that powerful?"

Seeing Uncle Zeng's eyes loosen from the extinguished bonfire, Cheng En seemed to be to his liking, fooled him, and immediately got up and left.After Cheng En left, Uncle Zeng, surrounded by Douding, repeatedly warned the group of beggars not to keep pestering Master Cheng and causing trouble to others.

"Why is this?"

"Brother Cheng won't mind if he's so nice."

Even though the little beggars begged repeatedly, their Uncle Zeng did not change his mind, and repeatedly emphasized that he should not have too much contact with the Taoist priest.

After tossing and tossing all night, Cheng En came back with his feet on cotton and wearing stars and moons.

Cheng En returned to his residence, thinking about washing up and going to sleep, a big stick was swung down, and a big bump immediately swelled up on his forehead.

He is afraid of bad luck!

It was clearly a room rented by himself, but Cheng En still had to hold his head, begging his grandpa to tell his grandma not to hit him on the head by the uninvited guest, and had to roll on the ground to avoid the messy sticks.But the person who attacked him was obviously not strong enough. Cheng En, who had almost no combat power, could dodge with one hand and one foot after seeing a little star in front of him for a while.

After Cheng En saw clearly the people chasing him around the table, he felt that his presbyopia had happened again.

The two called out at the same time.

The man: "Who are you?"

Cheng En: "Why are you here?"
