Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

After going out, I ran a short distance.

Li Muhua randomly found a secluded corner and threw her cloth shoes out with a look of disgust on her face.

"See if you are embarrassed to ask your disciples to find your shoes. How dare you insult me? I spoil you!"

If it weren't for the fact that Taoist Xu Yi had the upper hand over him and he didn't have something to ask him for, just because he dared to throw his stinky shoes at him and kept trying to persuade him to become a monk, Li Muhua would have thrown this stinky shoe onto the roof of Qiu Zu's Hall!

"Let's go quickly."

Li Muhua looked around as he spoke. He used to come to the temple fair every year, so he was naturally familiar with the locations of these temples.

The Medicine King Hall was not far from the mountain gate. Li Muhua found the right direction and ran quickly, muttering as he ran: "I don't know if Liu Xu is watching well. If I run faster, maybe..."

"Hey, which temple are you going to?"

Before Li Muhua ran to the Medicine King Hall, he ran into Dao Jian and Liu Xu head-on. He quickly stopped and said happily.

Dao Jian lowered his head and had a droopy face, but when he saw Li Muhua, he still pulled the corners of his mouth to pretend to be happy and said: "The little laywoman said that she only wanted to see the Medicine King Hall. Now that the tour is over, I am preparing to take her to find you, Junior Uncle!"

Li Muhua nodded and was not surprised to see Liu Xu's relaxed brows, after all, they were out for fun. However, Dao Jian's eyes were slightly bitter, and it seemed like the two of them had switched places in such a short period of time. Li Muhua couldn't help but feel curious.

But right now, the most important thing is to run away, and I don’t have time to worry about these trivial matters.

This is to prevent the old man Xuyi from guessing his plan and sending people to find Daojian, thus ruining his plan.

So he nodded and said, "That's just in time. I have already greeted the headmaster. In that case, let's go first!"

"Ok!"

Willow catkins nodded and turned around.

Dao Jian bowed and said, "Disciple Dao Jian, I respectfully send off Junior Master Uncle!"

When he looked up, he saw Li Muhua still standing there, staring at him, with no intention of moving, and she stretched out her right palm towards him.

"Uncle Junior Master, what are you doing?"

"Don't play dumb. How can I go back if you don't give me money for the trip? The old man told you to give us one dollar each, just like last time."

Li Muhua spoke in an imposing tone, without any of the timidity that an ordinary child would show when lying.

Seeing him like this, Daojian was 90% convinced, considering that this had happened last time. However, he still looked a little conflicted as he held his pocket.

"Young Master, one dollar should be more than enough for the two of you to go back! Otherwise--"

Li Muhua immediately glared at him and said, "Just do what the old man tells you to do!"

As he spoke, Li Muhua looked him up and down.

"You are trying to have the best of both worlds, aren't you, hiding this dollar from the headmaster?"

Upon hearing what Li Muhua said, Dao Jian immediately waved his hands in panic and said, "Uncle Junior Master, how is that possible? You don't know the situation in the temple—"

Seeing that he was about to cry to her, Li Muhua interrupted him and said sternly, "How do you know I don't know? I am the junior master in the temple. The old man just told me all this. I know the current conditions in the temple."

Li Muhua then comforted him:

"Don't worry, the headmaster has thought of a good way to make money. Your hard times will soon be over. You don't have to worry about these small amounts of money anymore!"

"Really?"

There was a flash of surprise in Daojian's eyes.

Now there are only about twenty disciples in the Taoist temple every day, which can barely maintain the operation of various work in the temple. The remaining thirty or forty people have to go to the street office to get temporary work.

They go out early and come back late, leaving them with no time to practice and study. If the economic situation in the temple can be alleviated in the future and everyone can spare some time to practice, he will naturally be happy.

Li Muhua nodded to him affirmatively, and then said: "Really, don't worry, as your junior uncle, how can I cheat you, a disciple, out of two dollars?

To be honest, she paid for my travel expenses when I came here. Do you think it would be embarrassing for our Baiyun Temple if this matter got out?"

Li Muhua pointed at Liu Xu and said this, but Liu Xu seemed not to hear her. She just looked at Dao Jian quietly and was unwilling to help Li Muhua lie.

Daojian looked at Liu Xu, then at Li Muhua who was acting righteously. After some thought, he took out money from his pocket with a painful heart. He took out two one-yuan bills, but before he could hand them to Li Muhua, Li Muhua snatched them away.

"Well, please thank the Master for me again!"

Before he could finish, Li Muhua grabbed Liu Catkins and ran towards the mountain gate in the distance.

When Daojian heard what Li Muhua said, he suddenly panicked. He vaguely felt that he was deceived, but when he saw the figures of Li Muhua and the other person in the distance, he still ran quickly towards the temple.

Li Muhua ran very fast. Liu Xu, who was being dragged along by him, was confused and didn't know why he suddenly started running.

When he almost reached the memorial archway, Li Muhua gradually stopped, left the catkins, raised the two banknotes with a smile on his face, looked at them carefully and said:

"Daojian is such a fool, it would be great if that old liar was as easy to fool as him!"

After saying that, Li Muhua turned his head to look at Liu Xu who was leaning against the archway and breathing heavily, and quickly put the money into his pocket: "This money is for the disciples to honor his junior uncle, don't even think about it!"

"I don't want money that was cheated, let alone from a stinky Taoist priest!" Liu Xu curled her lips in disdain, then asked curiously:

"Why does he call you Junior Master Uncle?"

Seeing that she had no interest in his money, Li Muhua finally felt relieved and walked towards the station while saying, "This is a long story. There are too many things that happened in the middle, so I'll just make it short!"

Just when Liu Xu wanted to follow curiously and listen, Li Muhua shut up and didn't continue.

"What do you want to say in short? Just tell me!" Liu Xu asked curiously.

Li Muhua turned around and asked, "Do you really want to listen?"

"Well! Just get to the point!" Liu Xu trotted in small steps to catch up with Li Muhua's big strides.

Seeing that she was interested, Li Muhua stopped and said, "You can listen, but you have to promise that after listening, you won't tell anyone that I am the junior master of Baiyun Temple!"

"Yes!" Liu Xu nodded: "I promise I won't tell anyone."

Li Muhua opened her mouth to speak after hearing this, seeing that she agreed so readily, she felt a little bit unconvinced in her heart, as if she hadn't seen her having a runny nose in recent days!

Thinking of this, Li Muhua continued, "It's not enough to just promise verbally, you have to swear. If you tell anyone, you will have a runny nose for the rest of your life, and when you get old, people will point at you and call you the snotty old lady."

Thinking back on it, it seems that for Li Muhua, this kind of oath is the most lethal!

"Ah! Do I have to swear such an oath?" Liu Xu opened her mouth slightly, somewhat reluctantly.

Li Muhua immediately said, "Didn't you just promise not to tell anyone? Then why are you afraid of swearing? Are you trying to lie?"

Li Muhua's three consecutive questions made Liu Xu's face turn red with anger, and she shouted loudly: "I won't lie! I swear!"

Li Muhua frowned and looked at her with a half-smile and disbelief: "Then you go ahead and post it!"

"I swear, if I ever tell anyone that Li Muhua is the junior master of Baiyun Temple, I will have snotty noses for the rest of my life, and people will call me the snotty old lady when I get old!"
