Marvel World Traveler

As the saying goes, there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below.

Although Yuhang is a small town, the scenery is not bad.

As for people's livelihood, the Jiangnan area is crisscrossed with rivers and canals, and the small town of Yuhang is close to the sea.

Most of the people make a living by planting paddy fields and fishing in the water, so they are not afraid of drought or floods.

Especially in the past ten years, it can be said that the weather has been smooth and the harvest has been good every year. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and it is a wonderful life.

Although such small towns are good, they are not rare in Jiangnan.

People in the small town were born and raised here, and most of them died here.

Everyone in the neighborhood knows each other well, and basically every household in the town has countless relatives who can't be reached.

The small town of Yuhang has always been closed, and communication with the outside world is limited to the occasional merchant ships passing by on the small dock.

Few people in the town are willing to go out, and few people outside are willing to stay.

In the past few decades, only two foreign families have been added to the town.

In one household, 12 years ago, the daughter-in-law of the Li family came here with her infant nephew to visit relatives. Unfortunately, her relatives moved away a few years ago.

In desperation, the Li family's wife opened a simple inn in the town to make a living and raised her nephew alone.

The girl from the Li family has a bold and lively personality. After a few years, her daughter-in-law became an aunt, and she was born with a matchmaker's mouth, which made her quite popular in the town.

It's a pity that her nephew is quite stubborn and stupid when he grows up, which makes people sigh.

The other family came to the town ten years ago. Although there is only one person, they are quite popular among the residents of the town.

There is no way, in this rural place, although basically every family can have enough food and clothing, most people are quite content.

But the more contented you are, the less you want your peaceful life to be broken.

But in the mountains near the town, there have always been some unclean things that appear frequently over the years.

It was better during the day, but at night, almost no one dared to run up the mountain.

Even the most experienced hunters will only go up the mountain after daylight.

Even so, safety is still not guaranteed.

The second immigrant family who moved to the town happened to be a Taoist priest.

At the beginning, the people in the town thought that the Taoist priest was too young and somewhat unreliable.

But after trying out that "promotional" amulet, I was surprised to find that it was not a genuine product!

In particular, a farmer who went up the mountain to collect firewood accidentally encountered something unclean, but was saved by the amulet he wore. The young Taoist priest named Liu Ruian was quickly recognized by the people of the town.

Occasionally, if I encounter a disease that Dr. Hong cannot see, I just need to send it to Daoist Liu, and there is almost nothing that cannot be cured.

If Taoist Liu hadn't repeatedly emphasized that treating illnesses with Taoism would harm one's cultivation, and that serious illnesses could not be cured, Dr. Hong in the town would probably be unemployed.

However, Dr. Hong did not lose his job, but the goddess in the town had to "change her career" and become a matchmaker.

There was no way, there were only a hundred or so households in the town, and apart from professionals such as carpenters, blacksmiths, and doctors, in the past, you could only rely on a goddess for weddings and funerals.

The goddess had been living in the town since she was a child. Everyone knew about her, so naturally they didn't think that she really had the power to attract gods and bless others.

Now that Liu Daoshi is a professional, some corresponding business has naturally been transferred here.

Although Daochang Liu is young, he is very handsome.

At the same time, he is also quite humble. No matter who he meets, he always smiles before saying anything.

Greet politely.

It is completely different from those so-called virtuous people who are always so aloof and unattainable.

In addition to being approachable, Liu Daoshi also doesn't care about money at all.

Regardless of whether they are selling amulets or treating people's illnesses, they are not only cheap, but they can also be used on credit if you are really short of money.

It doesn't matter if you really don't have the conditions to pay back the money. Liu Daoshi won't mind a bundle of dry firewood, a hare, or a few fish and shrimps.

But the more this happens, the more he is respected by the people in the town.

However, the income from weddings and funerals in a small town is actually limited, even if new peaches are exchanged for old charms every year.

Fortunately, Liu Daoshi's life is also very simple.

On weekdays, he either goes to the mountains to collect herbs or grows vegetables and raises chickens in his yard.

Or he would lie on the rocking chair in the courtyard every day, or hold a book of scriptures and recite there in a rhythm, or take a nap with a book of scriptures covering his face.

Instead, drawing talismans and dispelling evil spirits became "part-time jobs", and I lived a carefree life.

However, the people in the town did not look down upon this man because of this.

It is said that Liu Daoshi is quite capable. He easily took care of the evil spirits from the rich landowner's house in the next town, the snake monster on the mountain behind the village next door, and the unclean things on the mountain behind the town.

For such a capable person, the people in the town certainly have no reason to disrespect him.

However, only the elders are respected.

The younger generation of boys and girls are more curious and... admiring.

There is no way, who knows that Liu Daoshi is not only capable, but also handsome in appearance.

For the little girls in the small town who have never seen any market, it is a perfect choice for their sweethearts.

It's a pity that Taoist priests cannot get married.

As a result, the people in the town who had daughters to be married had to keep a close eye on their daughters or simply marry them off early to avoid doing anything that would ruin the family tradition.

Fortunately, although Liu Daoshi was handsome and approachable, he was quite self-loving when it came to his personal style.

After ten years, there are indeed many girls who have unrequited love, but they have always been in peace with each other.

On the contrary, when it comes to marriage issues, Liu Daoshi can often help a lot.

Not to mention, it is still very important for a woman to be able to calculate the man's character and future, even if it is just a rough idea.

No, after ten years, any young daughter-in-law married by Liu Daoshi's "hands" will live a comfortable life, not to mention rich and noble.

As for those who don't believe in evil, hehehe... they can only resign themselves to their fate.

As the saying goes, "Good rain knows the season, and spring will happen."

A misty drizzle not only makes the scenery of the town more pleasant, but also makes the crops in the fields more vibrant.

"Don't listen to the sound of Chuan Lin slapping leaves, why don't you roar and walk slowly."

"Bamboo sticks and awning shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid? Ren Pingsheng in a misty rain."

"It's expected that the spring breeze blows and wakes up, it's slightly cold, but the mountain top is slanting to welcome you."

"Looking back at the bleak place, when I return, there is no wind, rain or sunshine."

In the clear sound of poetry, Liu Rui'an, dressed in leather raincoat, walked slowly down the hillside.

Passing through the fence set up by the town to prevent wild beasts and ghosts on the mountain, I walked leisurely towards home.

As soon as I walked to the door of my house, I saw a familiar figure peeking inside the courtyard wall built with bamboo fence. (To be continued.)
