Chapter 5 The fourth time I saw the first god dragon drunk Taoist spend money to drink and leave the nest Orphan Zhao Yaner leave his mother as a teacher

It is said that Zhou Chun's master and apprentice went to Zhiwei Building to have dinner, and suddenly saw something hanging in the cupboard, which was very eye-catching.Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the red lacquered gourd used by the drunk Taoist at the foot of Mount Emei to hold wine.Looking around, there was no trace of the Taoist.At first, the two thought that there were many similar things in the world, and maybe it happened by chance, so they sat down, ordered some wine and rice, and ate and drank as they pleased.Later, Zhou Chun became more and more curious when he thought about it, so he called the bartender and asked, "The red gourd on your cabinet is very useful for holding wine. Where did you buy it?" The bartender replied: "You two guests want to ask This gourd is not from our store. Five days ago, a poor Taoist priest came here, dressed in rags, and he carried this gourd on his back. Although he is so poor, he has a lot of alcohol, and he comes to our store every day , drink at least ten catties, not more than drunk, sleep when drunk, wake up and drink again. At first we saw such a poor look, we suspected that he was cheating on drinking, and after eating, he deliberately sold beating. Later, after seeing him eating and drinking, he didn’t Short of pennies, he had to take this big gourd wine with him before he left. He could sell at least fifty or sixty catties of Daqu wine every day. He became a good customer in our shop. He fell asleep when he was drunk , except for adding wine, he doesn't talk much easily, and his drinking ethics is very good, so we respect him very much. We finished drinking with us this morning, and as usual brought a big gourd of wine. After walking for two or three hours, we came back. With a layman's padded robe in his hand, he drank for another hour. Before leaving this time, he said that he had not brought any money and that he wanted to use the gourd as a bet, and within two hours, someone came Repay the bill for him. Because he has bought us two or three hundred catties of wine in the past five or six days, and we usually can’t sell this much in a month, we dare not neglect him. We are willing to keep accounts for him and dare not accept his things. He insisted against it. He said that he had never received anything in vain in his life. He forgot to bring money for a while, and when he came back, someone gave him the money. I don’t know where to buy it.” Zhou Chun listened and thought about it, then he said to the bartender, “How much money this Taoist owes you for the wine, how about adding it to our account later?” The bartender was suspicious of Zhou. Chun loves gourds, and wanted to take them away, so he said: "This Daoist is a regular customer of our shop, and he will not owe money, so don't worry about it, guest officer." Yan'er was about to speak when Zhou Chun hurriedly said He winks and doesn't let him speak.Knowing the bartender's intentions, he said: "Don't be suspicious. This Daoist is our friend, I should give him the account. This gourd is still for you to keep. If you don't see him in person, don't give it to others." The bartender After hearing Zhou Chun's words, Fang knew his mistake.He thought that the poor Daoist's account was not safe, because he took too much care of him, so he was embarrassed not to give him credit; he was afraid that others would take the gourd away, and the Taoist would come back to blackmail him, so he refused.Seeing Zhou Chun's generosity today, I naturally wish.Even the accounts of his master and apprentice were calculated together, and the total was two taels and one five cents.

Zhou Chun opened up the wine account, gave some wine money, and walked to Yan'er's house.Yan'er was about to ask the Taoist about his origins, but Zhou Chun told him not to talk too much, but to leave quickly.In a short time, I have reached the head of Yan'er's gate.Yan'er's mother, Mrs. Zhao, was staring at the door where they came from.When Yan'er saw his mother, she abandoned Zhou Chun and threw herself into his mother's arms.Seeing such a scene, Zhou Chun couldn't help nodding secretly.Zhao's mother supported Yan'er and called Zhou Chun to go in.Although his house is a three-room earthen house, it is well kept.There is a loom in front of the hall, on which unwoven cloth is stretched, a lake crepe cotton gown is placed on the horizontal head, and a large bag of things, like a bag of silver.Yan'er said: "Teacher, look, isn't this the padded robe you gave to the poor Taoist? How did it come to my house?" Mother Zhao said: "A Taoist came just now and said that it was Mr. Zhou who was with you." Yan'er was a bit delayed on the road, and felt burdensome with a lot of silver on her body, so I asked him to bring it first. The old man knows that Mr. Zhou is superb in martial arts, and even Yan'er has a little bit of brute force, so why would he dislike holding such a small amount of money? A burden? He refused to accept it. The Daoist also testified Mr. Zhou’s padded gown. This padded gown was made by the old man himself, and the stitches were still vaguely recognizable. Although he reluctantly accepted it, he was a little suspicious. Listen to the Daoist, The gentleman will come in a while, so I went to look at the door. Sure enough, the gentleman came by himself in a while." After hearing Zhao's mother's words, Zhou Chun opened the wallet and saw that there were more than three hundred taels.There is also a piece of paper wrapped in the eight characters "Drunk Taoist presents a virtuous woman to a filial son", which is written like a dragon and a snake.Zhou Chun then said to Yan'er: "How? I said that there are so many different people in the world. It's not unpleasant for you to think about your and my footsteps. This Taoist master travels back and forth for more than two hundred miles in a short time. It's like a child's play. He His martial arts are more than ten times higher than ours. Fortunately, the foot of Mount Emei never neglected him." Mother Zhao hurriedly asked what happened.Zhou Chun met the Taoist from Mount Emei, and talked until the hotel paid the bill.He also explained the purpose of taking Yan'er with him.Advise Zhao's mother to just collect and use the money, there is no mistake.Zhao's mother said: "Although the Han family has only a bit of flesh and blood like Yan'er, my mother and son would have died of cold and hunger if we didn't meet Mr. It's not too bad." Zhou Chun thanked Zhao's mother.

In the evening, Zhou Chun went to see Ma Xiang again and asked many words.The next day I got up and went to Chengdu. I specially went to the hotel to find the drunk Taoist, and I was going to make friends with a strange scholar. No one thought that the Taoist or Huluju was there.So I looked for yesterday's bartender and asked him where he was. The bartender replied: "The Taoist came back yesterday as if there was something urgent. He went in and took his precious gourd and left. We told him that the guest officer will let him drink wine." He said he already knew about the bill, so tell him, we’ll see you in Chengdu. Then leave, and when I drive out, he’s gone.” Zhou Chunqing knew that the Taoist drunk had left, and he couldn’t find him, so he was very unhappy.I have no choice but to go on the road with Yan'er and go straight to Chengdu.

After walking for several days, I suddenly came to a place called Sanchakou.Going southwest is the avenue to Chengdu.There is a small road in the west, which also leads to Chengdu. It is more than two hundred miles closer than the main road, but it has to pass through many mountains and ridges, so it is not easy to walk.Because Zhou Chun had heard of the many wonders in these mountains, he was eager to go to Chengdu, and because he wanted to enjoy the mountain scenery, he walked with Yan'er to the trail.After walking for half a day, I have entered the mountain trail.This mountain is called Yunling Mountain, with towering ancient trees, steep strange rocks, and many wonders.The master and apprentice were a little thirsty after walking, and wanted to find some spring water to drink.It just so happens that there is a small stream beside the road, the spring water is clean, and there are many fish swimming.Then he went down with Yan'er, took out the wooden ladle he brought, sucked some stream springs, and drank at will.At this time, the mountain was already in the middle of the mountain, and the master and the apprentice were afraid that they would miss the place, so they hurriedly stepped up and walked towards the future.

As he was walking, he suddenly heard a cry of a crane.Zhou Chundao: "When I was at the foot of Mount Emei the other day, I heard the cry of cranes twice. Today is the third time."Yan'er suddenly called out: "Teacher, here it is." When Zhou Chun looked quickly, he saw a huge crane standing on a big rock beside the road. The iron beak, with two claws like copper hooks, is eight or nine feet high, where it is plucking and combing feathers.Zhou Chundao: "It's really rare to see such a big crane." As he was speaking, he suddenly saw a green snake jumping up beside the rock, seven or eight feet long.Seeing the snake, the crane hastily pecked at it.The snake ran very fast, and when the crane's mouth arrived, it had already burrowed into the cave and disappeared.The iron beak was everywhere, pecking at the mountain rock until the gravel was splashed and sparks flew around.The crane suddenly got up, with its feet and beak at the same time, grasping and pecking, it smashed a mountain rock with a radius of six or seven feet to pieces.Seeing that the snake couldn't hide, it was about to escape, but when it stretched out its head, it was caught by the crane's beak.The snake rolled its body, and its seven or eight feet long body tightly entangled the crane's feet.The crane took it easy, pecked off the snake's head with one beak, and then used its long beak to gently pierce the snake's body from between its two feet, dividing the snake's body into seventy or eighty segments.No matter how many pecks, it is already eaten in the stomach.Shaking the feathers on his body, he let out a long cry, looked into the sky, and flew into the clouds in the blink of an eye.

At this time, it was already dusk, and the dark smoke was everywhere.Zhou Chun hurriedly urged Yan'er to hurry.After walking for more than three miles, it was getting late.It happened that there was a house by the road, so I went up and knocked on the door to stay.After knocking for a long time, I heard someone answer inside, asking: "Where are you from?" Zhou Chun explained the purpose of coming.The man said: "I am at the end of my life now, and this place is extremely dangerous. If you want to stay overnight, go to the southwest for more than five miles. There is a thatched hut where Master Baiyun lives. You can ask her to stay for a while." Xiao. If she obeys, she can avoid danger." After finishing speaking, there was no sound.When he knocked on the door again, there was no answer.Zhou Chun was curious by nature, so he asked Yan'er to wait outside, and said, "I won't come out, so don't move around easily." Then he jumped over the wall and passed.At this time, the bright moon rose, illuminating the courtyard clear and picturesque.Zhou Chun took a closer look and saw a person lying on the rattan bed in the courtyard. Seeing Zhou Chun coming in, he said, "Why are you so disobedient? Go far away, and don't get close to me. It will be very bad for you." Zhou Chun said: "In the four seas, we are all friends. What is your suffering, what is the danger here, why don't you tell me about it, I may be able to help you, why do you sit and wait for death?" The man said: "You don't hurry! I have already been shot If you get poisoned by the demon, if you get close to me three feet, you will be infected. I have been fighting for my life here for three days, and now I am hungry. If you have dry food, you can give me some. The demon will be found sooner or later. I don’t need to say, you Your life is also in danger. If you rush to vote for Master Baiyun, maybe you can help me. You can only tell her this about my affairs." When the man said this, he was weak and dying.I saw seven red moles on the man's arm, which were very distinct.Zhou Chun thought this was not a good place, so he threw some dry food at him, and then let him out.When calling Yan'er, she suddenly disappeared.To know what happened next, let's see the next chapter.
