I am the county magistrate in Liaozhai

As a disciple of the abbot, it is obvious that the young master of Hongfa has his own monk's burden. Such an unseemly expression was shown in front of Cheng Jin, a somewhat annoying outsider, and his ears turned red all of a sudden.

Even because there is no hair to cover it, the tips of the ears appear redder.

"What are you looking at!" Swallowing the tofu balls in his mouth, Hongfa couldn't help but question without even tasting it.

Oh, my little master is really shy. Magistrate Cheng touched his few consciences, smiled and pointed at the hem of little Zhou Jia's clothes: "The corner of the clothes is torn."

Hongfa looked down subconsciously, and his attention was immediately diverted: "How many times have I told you, hey, I will make up for you when I take it off."

Because the master has not yet given the junior disciple a dharma name, the junior disciple has not been registered in the monastery, so there is no example of the four seasons.What the younger brother wears now are all his old things.This clothes used to be worn on him, and he couldn't tear it once a year, but the junior brother can scratch it three or four times a day, hey.

"I'm sorry, brother, I'll pay attention next time." The little monk said guiltily, pointing fingers.

Brothers and friends, it's a pity that the county magistrate Cheng always misses the point: "Little Master Hongfa can still do needlework?"

Hongfa didn't hold back anymore, and directly protected his junior brother behind his back: "Do you have an opinion?"

"No, no." Cheng Jin waved his hand immediately, and then pointed to some simple tables and chairs, "Let me help you polish and remove the burrs, so that you won't scratch your clothes in the future."

I also know that there are only two senior brothers living in the back mountain, the younger Zhou Jia is five years old, although Hongfa is older, he is still a child, Abbot Fu Yuan is old, and the temple is also busy with official duties, so naturally he can't take care of such trivial matters.

"You will?" Hongfa expressed doubts, but little Zhou Jia was very supportive, "That's great, big brother is amazing!"

So Master Hongfa became even more skeptical.

But Cheng Jin quickly proved that as a reliable adult, he still had two brushes in his hands. He not only repaired the tables, chairs and benches, but also cleaned the utensils in the house for the two children.But there are not many things, and there is not even lighting equipment.

It's really dangerous for children to light candles and burn lamp oil. Well, why not write a letter to the capital and ask your brother to send you two night pearls.

"You..." Hongfa looked at this man in surprise.

"Do you think you underestimated me?" Cheng Jin teased.

Although Hongfa is quite arrogant, he doesn't bother to tell lies. This person is dressed in brocade clothes and has an extraordinary temperament in conversation. He would do such trivial things for his junior, which made him change his mind: "Amitabha, Master Cheng, I want to apologize to you."

"Well?"

"It's a little monk." Hongfa was pure in heart, and he was only wary of Cheng Jin to protect his younger brother. He knew that his younger brother's eyes were different from ordinary people, and he could even see filth. The younger brother is disadvantaged.But for one person to do this, Hongfa felt that he was too narrow-minded, "I'm sorry Cheng Shizhu, I didn't mean to target you." Also, the tofu balls are delicious.

It's just that Cheng Jin broke the atmosphere before he could finish his sentence: "You're just a little monk, and it's more vivid like just now."

These words were obviously meant to let Hongfa not care, but the expression was off the mark, so angry that the little master Hongfa snorted softly, and decided to swallow the words that came to his throat.

Sure enough, this person is narcissistic and likes to talk to himself, which is too inappropriate.

But little Zhou Jia still smiled and clapped his hands, with a big brother's right expression: "Brother, smile more, it looks good!"

Cheng Jin immediately echoed: "Look, look, what a simple wish a child has~"

Hongfa: ...It's too difficult to carry, I can't carry it.

Although Hongfa disliked this unreliable adult, after sending him away, he actually felt that the air was deserted.

what happened?

"Master, do you need something to promote the Fa?"

Abbot Fuyuan beckoned kindly: "Hongfa, come here, don't be rigid, just sit next to me."

Hongfa hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse.

"In the blink of an eye, Hongfa, you have grown up too..." Abbot Fuyuan said for a long time, and then suddenly said, "What kind of person is that Mr. Cheng who came yesterday in Hongfa's opinion?"

This question has somewhat stumped Dharma propagation.

"A strange person." He has very little knowledge and experience of promoting Buddhism. He sees most of his brothers and pilgrims in the temple. The brothers recite scriptures and eat fast every day, and pilgrims come to the temple to either ask for or fulfill their vows. There were also people who came to enjoy the view and eat, but not Master Cheng, "Master, will he take the younger brother away?"

Fu Yuan didn't give an accurate reply, all virtuous dharmas are due to the combination of karma and predestination, and he can't keep it by force: "Don't Hongfa like this benefactor Cheng?"

Hongfa shook his head honestly: "No, he is very kind to the younger brother." After speaking, he told all the things that happened today, and then asked, "Master, did I do something wrong?"

Abbot Fuyuan patted his disciple's head happily, and said, "No, you did a good job. Hongfa, do you know who that Master Cheng is?"

The evening talk between master and apprentice ended with the shock of spreading the Dharma. Although he is young, is it so easy to be an official outside now?

Little Zhou Jia pushed his brother curiously before going to bed: "Senior brother, what are you thinking, why are you ignoring me?"

Hongfa looked psychedelic, but he felt a little more relaxed in his heart. If the younger brother is destined to go down the mountain, if he can follow someone who is an official, he should not be bullied by ordinary people.It's just that he heard that the official's heart is dark, this person can't just pretend, right?

"I didn't ignore you, you just sleep well."

"But I can't sleep."

"Junior brother, if, if that big brother of yours wants to take you down the mountain, would you be willing?"

In the dark, Hongfa asked hesitantly, but he didn't expect his younger brother to agree: "Of course!"

Little heartless! ! !

"In this way, I can go down the mountain to buy the candied haws that my brother has always wanted to eat. Senior brother, you said that the hawthorns in the mountains are sour, but the candied haws at the bottom of the mountain are sweet. It must be as sweet as the candy brought by the big brother!" the little monk said. The more I talked, the more excited I became, and my mouth was drooling, "Ah, I really want to eat, brother, will there be candied haws in my dream?"

Hongfa: ...I think too much.

But as a senior, it is still possible to coax the junior: "There will be, go to bed early."

Who cares about him, if the younger brother wants to go down the mountain one day, he will follow him, if people outside dare to bully the younger brother, he will bring the younger brother back, and no one will ever want to take the younger brother away again.

After working for several days, Cheng Jin finally got some free time, and finally saw Yan Chixia who had been busy deciphering Wang Chicheng's spell.

"Daoist Yan, how is the progress?"

Although Yan Chixia's face was tired, her eyes were bright: "To be honest, Pindao just came from Tianshui Town in southern Anhui."

"what?"

Yan Chixia was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Cheng Jin stretched out his hand and scratched his chin: "Coincidentally, I just came back from Tianshui Town yesterday."

Now it was Yan Chixia's turn to be surprised.

After the two exchanged information, there was no need to find out who the mad Taoist priest who helped Mrs. Li was.

"It's really Wang Chicheng. He is also from Xuandiguan anyway. Why would he point out a country woman in a small place?" This is not in line with Wang Chicheng's style of doing things.

Yan Chixia didn't understand either, but Cheng Jin felt something vaguely jumping out, but it was difficult to link them together when he looked at it carefully: "Forget it, forget it, don't think about it, the Taoist priest is cracking Yet?"

"Almost, where is Wang Chicheng now?"

Cheng Jin informed Daoist Yan of Li Yong's residence, and Yan Chixia got the place, went to the kitchen to eat a bowl of noodles, and left in a hurry.

"I don't know why, but I have a very subtle ominous feeling in my heart."

Montenegro seldom sees Cheng Yian like this, at least in his few memories, this person has always been a strategist, and the treacherous routines of mortals are vividly displayed on this person: "It's not like you can say if."

Cheng Jin leaned against the window: "Probably because I don't understand, mortals are intriguing, even if they use vicious means, there are traces to follow, even ghosts and monsters, with your ability, you can easily see through them. But as Qing It is difficult for Heng Zhi to be found out if he uses his mortal body to do treacherous tricks, isn't it?"

"You've been acting weird lately."

"What kind of weird method?"

Heishan felt that his mouth was stupid and he couldn't speak, but Cheng Yi'an felt that this was not right.

"Since you're worried, why don't you follow up and take a look?"

Cheng Jin was about to refuse, but when he met Heilulu's eyes, his refusal turned into a promise: "That's right, don't watch the free Daoist battles, it will be struck by lightning."

... This is very Cheng Yian.

But since he was going to Li Yong's house, Cheng Jin decided to go to the backyard to get a roast chicken and take it with him. When the roast chicken was cooked through, he took Hei Lulu to sit down and have a simple meal.

Some time ago, Langya Township sent a lot of jade cabbage over. It was sweet and delicious when eaten raw. Cheng Jin liked it very much, but because the quantity was too large, after sending it to a part of the capital, Ah Cong pickled the unfinished cabbage into sauerkraut. .

Good sauerkraut is crisp and delicious, whether it is stewed pork ribs with sauerkraut or simple stir-fried meat, it is quite suitable for rice.Today, I happened to meet Ah Cong making sauerkraut dumplings for the trial opening of the small place soon.

The dumplings were boiled very quickly. After a while, Cheng Jin came out with two bowls of dumplings, and there was a secret dumpling dish made by Acong beside him.

"Come, come, let's go to Li Yong to have a look after eating."

Montenegro: ...that's a bit too much for Cheng Yi'an.

But even though I thought so in my heart, Heishan is not slow to hold chopsticks. Sauerkraut has a unique flavor. Some people don’t like it, but some people don’t like it. Yes, the seasoning is perfect.

"Master, it's a pity that you can't appreciate the deliciousness of sauerkraut."

Cheng Jin finished speaking in an aria-like tone, and couldn't help but look at the flat dumpling on A Cong's right: "Is this stuffed with fish and chicken? A Cong, you don't have to get too used to those two."

A Cong smiled: "It's okay, just do it three days before the opening, if it doesn't sell well, then don't do it."

The little cat demon in the capital probably cried.
