Want to know the size

Chapter 22. Redemption

The small town under the Cangwu mountain is still so lively, people come and go, various hawkers set up their stalls, yelling and selling, and the dazzling array of ornaments make people dazzled and dizzying.

Shu Xunmo walked in Qingshi Town with his senior and senior fellow apprentices.

Whenever there are some important festivals or ceremonies, the temple master will allow them to go down the mountain to have a look, which is also what they wish for.

It's much hotter here than on the mountain. For this reason, they all packed lightly, but they still wore Taoist school uniforms.

This generation is similar to the Jiangnan water town, a river meanders in it, with clear waves, and a few small boats flow in it after a while, and there are various small merchants and hawkers on both sides of the bank.

The disciples with their wallets in their pockets have been depressed for many days, and they wanted to go out for a long time to have a look, and because Cangwu Mountain is still far away from Qingshi Town, and they can't come a few times, they simply had a good time, and in a blink of an eye, everyone ran away Gone.

Shu Xunmo walked among the crowd, feeling a little curious in his heart. Not long after he walked, his eyes were attracted by a booth by the shore.

Not some trinkets, not some outlandish gadgets.

The exquisite and small bamboo baskets made of bamboo strips are lined up one by one, and there are round bayberries lying quietly inside.

The red bayberry was purple and black, as if it had just been plucked, with morning dew on it, and a handful of small flowers were pinched aside with ulterior motives, the same freshness, reflecting the bayberry even more beautiful.

All of them are round and round, and they are all bigger than copper coins.

"My little brother, do you want to cut the red bayberry?" The girl from the water country sitting on the stone pier giggled when she saw him, and said very generously.

Although Shu Xunmo didn't like sweets, he was a little attached to red bayberries. As far back as he could remember, his mother liked these sour and sweet round fruits to amuse him.

I want to buy it today, I don't know if it's the memory of my childhood, or the taste.

"Hmm...I want two baskets..." He hesitated and hawed, who didn't know how to talk to others, and quickly took out some money.

The girl handed him two baskets, said that he was handsome, and grabbed a few more baskets for him.

"Come buy more from me in the future! Soak them in salt before going back to eat!" The girl smiled and yelled at him, shaking her cattail fan.

"Thank you." Shu Xunmo responded politely.

Carrying two baskets of red bayberries, he was also going to find his disciples, and he didn't have anything to buy, so he just followed them.

Not long after walking, something unusual suddenly happened on the road in front of me.

In front of a store, a group of people were standing by and watching.

He didn't like to join in the fun, so he turned around and wanted to go another way.

"Let go of me! Go away!"

A terrified male voice came out from the crowd, "Help! Help!"

"If you keep making noise, I will strip you naked right now!" Another rough middle-aged man roared.

No one came to help the young man, all of them watched the tearful young man with indifferent faces or watching a good show, pointing and pointing at him, with unstoppable contempt in their eyes.

Shu Xunmo, who originally didn't want to care about such things, just wanted to stay away from right and wrong, but was stopped by the boy's words.

"Father——mother—" the young man was terrified to the extreme, feeling his shoulders being held down, a wave of fear filled his heart, and he shouted with all his might, "Come and save me!"

"You little bastard is still making noise, let's see how I can deal with you!" The old bustard who was in charge was a little flustered when he heard his parents, and rushed up to slap him.

"Pa——" The sound was extremely crisp, and many people trembled after hitting them, and then took a few steps back, obviously frightened by this fierce woman.

"You're still resisting! You're being called cheap, you don't listen to good words, you have to be beaten by my old lady to be obedient!" Yueniang grabbed Wen Chujin's ears and met those wet eyes, but she didn't show any kindness, and directly Pushing his shoulders, he brought him in front of that man, and said with a smirk, "You have to obey today if you don't!"

At this time, at the critical moment, a tall and tall figure came from the sky.

I only heard the sound of the wind in my ears, and the sand and stones rolled up for a while made people's eyes hard to open. I only vaguely saw a young man jumping up and stepping lightly into the crowd.

"Who is it!" Yue Niang said angrily after taking a mouthful of silt.

"Let him go." Shu Xunmo rushed into the crowd with a light effort.

After a while, when the dust and mist cleared, everyone could clearly see the person who suddenly appeared.

A head of black hair is neatly tied into the appearance of a Taoist priest, revealing a dazzling face, so good-looking that it meets your eyes, with picturesque eyebrows, and a thin body wearing the school uniform of Yunqing Taoist Temple, a green shirt and plain clothes, revealing a smile in the hem of the layered clothes. The hilt of the saber.

Like a fairy.

Wen Chujin saw it most clearly at that time, with her face upturned, she couldn't look away for a long time, as if staring blankly.

Shu Xunmo couldn't hear any disturbance in his voice, and said, "Let him go."

Almost everyone in this generation knows the famous Yunqing Taoist Temple and respects it. Yueniang also knows it. She restrained her expression and said in a good temper, "Why is the Taoist priest doing this?"

"Let him go."

"But I bought this person, and let me let him go for no reason, but it's not very good, right?" Yueniang said.

"I'll redeem it for him." Without saying a word, Shu Xunmo untied the purse from his belt and threw it into Yueniang's hands. "Are these enough?"

Yueniang weighed it, opened it again, and checked it. Seeing a piece of white flowers, she nodded with satisfaction, "Enough."

"Hey, what are you doing!" The middle-aged man was dissatisfied, but he didn't want the mouthful of duck meat to run away, and yelled.

"My lord, don't be angry." Yueniang smiled all over her face, and winked at the people at the side, and immediately a young man with a peachy face twisted his waist and came over.

Although the man was a bit unwilling, he still didn't dare to offend the people in Yunqing Taoist Temple. He secretly gave Wen Chujin a look, and could only angrily pull the young man away to vent his anger.

"It's gone, let's go!" Yueniang looked at a group of people watching the theater, waved her hand, and drove them away.

Everyone felt that it was boring, and they all dispersed.

"Are you... are you okay..." Shu Xunmo asked, looking down at the young man sitting on the ground in a panic.

Wen Chujin nodded, remembering her clothes in a blink of an eye, trying to cover up the thin gauze skirt in shame.

Just as he was trying to cover it, a coat suddenly floated down and covered him.

Wen Chujin looked up like a fool. Under the sun, the person in front of him was really nice and good-looking. Although his eyebrows looked cold, he felt extremely gentle.

"Thank you... benefactor..." Wen Chujin could only repeat these words excitedly at that time, clutching the robe on her body tightly and unwilling to let go, because it was very warm.

"You're welcome." Shu Xunmo didn't know how to comfort others, but felt that this young man was very similar to himself when he was a child, especially when he called the phrase "Father and Mother", he rushed out without thinking.

After searching all over his body, he only found some silver taels, and handed them to him, telling him, "Here are these for you, don't let them catch you, find a place to hide it quickly."

Wen Chujin could only nod her head, her throat seemed to be blocked by something, her eyes were red, and she stared at him, as if she wanted to imprint him in her heart.

"Benefactor...what's your name?" Wen Chujin asked, "I...I will repay you in the future."

"Shu Xunmo." He still answered his question honestly, "The reward will be waived."

He picked up the basket that was casually thrown aside, checked it, it was okay, it was not damaged, looked at the lonely boy in front of him, handed it to him, and said, "This is for you."

"Ah, thank you benefactor."

"Let's meet again by fate."

Shu Xunmo waved his hand and pulled the boy up from the ground. Seeing that it was getting late, he knew that his junior brother and the others were waiting for him, so he told him.

Wen Chujin looked at the figure that was getting further and further away, lowered her eyes, her palms still had his warmth, holding a basket full of red bayberries.

Pick it up and taste one.

Very sweet.

The author has something to say: The two met for the first time when they were teenagers.

It’s really amazing to say it, originally the two of them were just the product of random thoughts in class once in a while, but they actually wrote it down in the end, it feels great!

ps: In the next few articles, Mr. Wen is going to kill himself...
