Chapter 13 Section 5 Misunderstanding

Not long after Nong Fan left the Zhang family, he was very troubled along the way. He made up his own mind without Xu Qiuyuan's consent. Once he told him the truth, he would definitely be punished.After thinking for a long time, Nong Fan made up his mind and planned to use his own money to top up the number. After making up his mind, Nong Fan was in a good mood, and he didn't forget to hum a few tunes when he started walking.At this moment, a strange and inexplicable cry came faintly from the sky above Ziya Village. Nong Fan listened carefully, and the cry was mixed with shouts and growls.Nong Fan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, he knew who made such a cry, this kind of howling like ghosts and wolves, besides those bandits, who else could compare with it?

Xu Qiuyuan's family was the first to send to the rich, and rich people had many details about their details, but Xu Qiuyuan has been in this business for so long, who has he never met?He did the process of encoffining neatly and without delay.After everything was done, he refused the rich man's hospitality and rushed directly to the next house with the corpse. Xu Qiuyuan, who thought he could take a rest after finishing the treatment earlier, is now suffering from a headache. If you say that the bandits are cold-blooded and ruthless, they are crying worse than his dead father, but if you say they are gentlemen, they are not at all. Like messing around.

"Shut up, shut up, everyone, how unbecoming is it for a group of men to cry and make noise like this!" Xu Qiuyuan, who was disturbed by the bandit's noise, lost his temper.From the moment they entered the door, these people have never been quiet, and he was so noisy that he couldn't do anything, so how could he not get angry. "Old man, what did you say? You told the brothers to cry, and my subordinates managed to squeeze out the tears, don't you know?" Xu Qiuyuan heard the sound and saw that the bandit leader had come out. "Is Kuying going to make such a fuss? You call it crying? Shut up, do you want the dead to have no peace?"

Seeing that Xu Qiuyuan was furious, the bandits couldn't continue to quarrel, after all, he had to do the encoffining ceremony properly, if he accidentally forgot a step during the quarrel, the deceased would suffer disaster. Seeing that the bandit leader wanted to talk back, Xu Qiuyuan glared and said, "Go out with them, and come back in after I tell you." "What? My brothers are going to go into the wooden trough. I can't watch it yet, I..." The boss was very dissatisfied when he heard that Xu Qiuyuan was going to drive them out. Before he finished speaking, his subordinates stopped him and said: " Master, this is the rule, we can check and pay our respects after the master has dealt with it."

The boss listened for a moment, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and shouted: "Brothers, go out with me to watch the wind." After speaking, he walked out first. Xu Qiuyuan's movements are much more proficient than Nong Fan's, and he has already done the work of removing corruption within half a stick of incense.After everything was settled, Xu Qiuyuan shouted, "Come in." The door opened with a "squeak", and seeing the first person who came in, Xu Qiuyuan said happily, "Is everything all right?" Xu Qiuyuan asked this question because it was none other than Nongfan who came in.

Nong Fan nodded and saluted, and said: "The disciple is not yet proficient, it took some time. But everything has been done." Xu Qiuyuan nodded. Being able to complete it without anyone's guidance shows that Nong Fan's talent is very savvy. In fact, Xu Qiuyuan didn't know that Nong Fan did a good job, but when he took out the antiseptic solution, he almost missed it because of fear.The methods and tools for extracting the antiseptic solution are very simple, but the extracted antiseptic solution is not only viscous but also emits a fishy smell like dead fish, making people sick and unbearable.And when the embalming fluid was drawn out, the body would still shake non-stop, which really shocked Nong Fan.If he hadn't seen the corpse for a long time and didn't respond, Nong Fan would have thought it was a fraud.

The leader followed Nong Fan in, without asking how Xu Qiuyuan was doing, and walked into the inner hall carelessly.Then, his voice came from inside: "The second child has been dead for several days, and his face is not bad. Don't worry, I will take good care of the brothers." After speaking, there was a moment of silence, and soon there was a low-pitched cry. Voice. The master and apprentice looked at each other and walked out of the room.Xu Qiuyuan didn't know what came to mind, and suddenly said: "Your father's death is not worth it!" After speaking, he looked at the night sky with confused eyes.Looking at him, Nong Fan sighed in his heart, if his father had encountered these bandits, then his father might not have suffered such bad luck.

The master and the apprentice each had their own concerns, and they were all silent.At this time, the leader came out, his eyes were still reddish, obviously he had shed a lot of tears just now.The leader took out a pack of silver dollars from his pocket, handed it to Xu Qiuyuan and said, "This is the rest of the reward, thank you Master for bringing my brother back home safely." Xu Qiuyuan took the silver dollars, counted them and asked, "Pindao has something to say, I don't know if I should ask it or not?" The leader laughed and said, "If there is anything you should ask or not, just ask!"

"I don't know why your Excellency wants to be a bandit? You are tall and powerful, so you should not have to worry about finding a job." "Hahaha, good question, good question." The leader pointed to his subordinates and said, "For them." Xu Qiuyuan took a look at the situation, realized in his heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay. Dare I ask your name?" The boss listened for a moment, he hadn't heard such a polite word for a long time, he thought for a while, and said: "Mianzun's surname is Wu, if you are afraid of me, call me Dragon King, if you respect me, call me Walled Master Wu, and if you know me, call me the Dragon King." I am Wu Long, friends call me Oolong. I think you can call me Oolong."

Nong Fan and Xu Qiuyuan didn't expect that the boss had many nicknames, but since he said he called him Oolong, it means that he regarded Xu Qiuyuan as a friend.Xu Qiuyuan cupped his hands and saluted and said: "The old Daoist name is Caoxian. Those who are friends call me Mr. Xu, and those on the road call me the old Taoist Caoxian Daoist. Let's say goodbye here. When we meet by fate someday, we should be not drunk or not with Brother Oolong. return." Hearing this, the boss of Wulong laughed loudly: "Okay, I like a bold person like Mr. Xu, next time we meet, I will definitely drink until I get drunk."

After saying goodbye to the leader of the black dragon, Nong Fan asked Xu Qiuyuan: "Master, why did you make friends with him?" "His famous master has heard that he specializes in robbing the rich and giving to the poor. Although he is vulgar and barbaric, he is also number one." In order to find out the bandits who killed Nong Zhigang, Xu Qiuyuan knew many bandits with banners. "By the way, what about Zhang's salary?" Seeing Nongfan nodding his head, Xu Qiuyuan remembered that Nongfan hadn't given him the money yet. "Ah, here, nine copper coins." Nong Fan said, and took out nine copper coins.Every time the corpse chaser leads his disciples to drive corpses, he will distribute some rewards to the disciples, so that the disciples will not have no money to spend.As for the red envelopes given by the relatives of the deceased, the Master will not take them back. After all, they are safe money.Xu Qiuyuan glanced at it and said, "Forget it, you are working with Master now, and you can't ask Master for money for everything you buy. I will give you all of these." Nong Fan smiled wryly in his heart, although Xu Qiuyuan gave him the money, but the money was originally his own. "What? Too little?" Xu Qiuyuan asked seeing that Nong Fan was not happy. "No, it's not. Disciple... I was so happy when I received the reward for the first time." "Well, I originally wanted to tell you not to take that woman's money, but since I've already taken it, forget it." Xu Qiuyuan's words made Nong Fan stunned, didn't he regard money as his life?When did you become so generous? "Master... the disciple confiscated the woman's money." Nong Fan thought that Xu Qiuyuan had already said that, so it's okay for him to confess. "You confiscated it, so what about the money?" "It belongs to a disciple." "Oh, forget it, it's rare that you have a benevolent heart, which is also a good thing. The business of exorcising corpses earns the money of the dead, and doing it is detrimental to sinful virtue, so it is necessary to do more good deeds to accumulate virtue." Nong Fan is very happy, as long as Xu Qiuyuan is not such a money-grubbing person, then besides earning some money, he can also help people who are pleasing to the eye.Seeing Nong Fan's happy expression, Xu Qiuyuan couldn't help but hit him: "Don't think that you can make up your own mind in the future. If the money is more than one silver dollar, even if the family is so poor that the family only wears a pair of trousers, you must accept it." When Nong Fan, who was in a state of excitement, heard this, his face darkened, and he thought to himself: I thought you really sympathized with the poor so much, but you don't care too much. That night, the master and the apprentice found an inn, and they slept soundly as soon as they lay down. The past few days of running around really made them exhausted. Ziya Village is a small village with a population of only 500. The village is divided into two sides by a river, which flows all the way to Wanshan Town, and Xu Qiuyuan's Luye Village is just downstream of the river.Ziya Village was formed not long ago. According to the elders in the village, the village was formed more than a hundred years ago.The terrain here is unique and rich in resources, so the villagers living here live a pretty good life. In the morning, Nong Fan was woken up by a noise. He frowned, hesitated for a long time before getting up, and muttered in his mouth: "What's the noise, why don't you let people sleep." He fell asleep in the middle of the night, early in the morning It upset him to be woken up. Sitting swaying on the bed, he was still awake, when he heard the door slam, and several people rushed in, one of them pointed at Nong Fan and shouted angrily: "It's him, the one who came with that old man is him!" .” Nong Fan was so frightened suddenly, but he came to his senses. Looking at the angry people in front of him, he asked timidly, "Uh...you, what's the matter with you?" "What's the matter? Did you come with that arrogant old man?" one of them walked up to them and asked. "Yes... yes, what happened to my master?" The visitor was very rude to Xu Qiuyuan, and Nong Fan was startled. Could it be that the master caused trouble? "What's the matter, you dare to say anything, hmph, so he is your master, that's better, take him away!" The man in front said, stepped forward with several others and set up Nong Fan. Nong Fan yelled: "Wait, let me get dressed first." Hearing this, the person who was supporting him picked up his clothes and pants without waiting for him to put them on, and helped him to put on his clothes as he walked. When he came to the lobby of the inn, Nong Fan first saw Xu Qiuyuan sitting in the center, drinking tea leisurely, surrounded by villagers, who yelled and cursed at Xu Qiuyuan, but no one was there. Dare to take half a step forward.Looking carefully, there are several talismans on the ground around Xu Qiuyuan, and it is these talismans that prevent the villagers from approaching. "Old man, if you don't do it honestly, we'll send you, apprentice, to the west." Those people dragged Nong Fan out of the talisman circle, and at some point brought a kitchen knife, and put it on Nong Fan's neck, threatening Xu. Akihara. "Master, master, did you...did you...did you...them? If you did something wrong to them...please apologize quickly." Nong Fan's neck was hit by a kitchen knife, and his legs almost went limp. "Joke, we just arrived here last night, I don't have the time to provoke them. Let me tell you, don't think you are ordinary villagers so I dare not do anything, let him go quickly." Xu Qiuyuan said, taking out the A few talismans, you have to do it. When the villagers saw that Xu Qiu was real, they were also afraid.This old Taoist is very evil. At the beginning when he was lifted out of the room, he still looked puzzled. When he came to the hall, before everyone had a word with him, he became furious and forced the few people who were holding him into a rage. Get beaten down.When everyone saw that they had started, they wanted to rush up and start a gang fight, but they didn't want the old man to throw out a few talismans in a circle. No matter what, everyone couldn't cross this talisman circle. Now the old man wants to use it again. The villagers were hesitant to step forward when the magic was performed. Just when Xu Qiuyuan raised his hand, a voice came from outside the inn: "Master Xu, don't do anything." Hearing this, Xu Qiuyuan put his hand down, and when the man came in, Xu Qiuyuan sneered: "So it's Village Chief Jiang, I don't know what the villagers in this village have against me, Daoist Caoxian? I'm an old man who is easy to bully, right? " Village head Jiang said with a smile: "Mr. Xu is serious. This is a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding." He said to those who supported Nong Fan, "I haven't released the apprentice of the Daoist yet." When those people heard this, they hurriedly said: "Village Chief, it's because they came..." "Okay, they didn't do this. You guys don't know Mount Tai. Do you know who this Taoist priest is? He is the head of the Heavenly Official Sect—Taoist Caoxian." Xu Qiuyuan's fame spread more among powerful and wealthy families, so although Village Chief Jiang spoke impassionedly, the villagers didn't take it seriously. "Okay, let them go soon. I can guarantee that they didn't do it." Seeing that those people were still unwilling to let them go, Village Chief Jiang said angrily. Several people looked at each other and put Nong Fan down. Village Chief Jiang always said that he was right, and it would be no good to make him anxious. Seeing that the villagers had let them go, Xu Qiuyuan didn't bother to bother with them anymore, so he swept away the talisman on the ground with a wave of his hand. Village head Jiang moved a chair to sit with Xu Qiuyuan, and said with a smile, "I hope Mr. Xu is happy, this happened by coincidence, and you just ran into each other, so the villagers misunderstood you." Xu Qiuyuan asked Nong Fan to sit down, but ignored Village Chief Jiang.The villagers looked annoyed, thinking that this old man was too arrogant.But Village Chief Jiang didn't care. Seeing that Xu Qiuyuan was ignoring him, he poured a cup of tea for Xu Qiuyuan and said, "Mr. Xu wants to know why the villagers are so angry?" Hearing Village Chief Jiang's low voice, Xu Qiuyuan knew that the village chief had something to ask him, but his anger had not subsided yet.The villagers are angry, so they still ignore Village Chief Jiang. It wasn't until the kitchen knife was moved away from Nongfan that Nongfan stopped his trembling feet. Hearing that it was a misunderstanding, he was very curious: "I don't know why the villagers blamed us? Let the village chief tell me." Seeing that Nong Fan's words were inappropriate, Xu Qiuyuan snorted coldly, causing Nong Fan to retract his head by two points in fright.Village head Jiang seized this opportunity and said, "There have been people in the village who have been vomiting profusely since the morning, and some people's faces turned blue, and their limbs twitched non-stop." "Oh, that's epilepsy, can it be blamed on us?" Xu Qiuyuan snorted again and interjected. "If only one or two people won't make the villagers angry, the problem is that this happens to more than a hundred people, almost every family has such a person. And several doctors in the village can't see anything wrong, so everyone My son thought it was a bewitched spirit, and Daoist Xu came here only last night, so..." "So I thought we did it." Xu Qiuyuan said, scanning the villagers with contempt in his eyes. "Xu Daochang, isn't this a misunderstanding? Everyone is in chaos because their relatives fell ill. Can you help me?" Although Xu Qiuyuan is a corpse chaser, he is also famous for exorcising evil spirits and subduing demons. If he helps, the problem can be solved. "Yes, fifty silver dollars." Everyone on the scene was stunned, the old man was so speechless and endless, including Nong Fan, who also cursed secretly in his heart: Fifty silver dollars, robbery.Fifty silver dollars can be exchanged for fifty tans of rice.It's too dark too! "What? You think it's expensive? Forget it." Xu Qiuyuan said calmly, ignoring the surprised crowd. "Ah... fifty silver dollars is indeed..." Village Chief Jiang was awakened by Xu Qiuyuan's words, but the fifty silver dollars really made him powerless. "It's enough for each family to contribute a little. There are more than a hundred people, not too many." Seeing the embarrassed faces of Village Chief Jiang and the villagers, Xu Qiuyuan laughed. Just when Village Chief Jiang was still about to bargain, there was a sudden noise from the crowd, and then someone shouted, "Someone is bewitched again." Hearing this, Xu Qiuyuan hurriedly got up to watch, and it was a young woman who fell down. The woman's face was blue, her eyes were turned white, dark green saliva was constantly overflowing from her mouth, her limbs were stiff and trembling.Xu Qiuyuan frowned, and said, "This is poisoned by corruption."
