The Road to Self-Saving of the Mud Bodhisattva

The people are no match for the officials. At first the soldiers explained to everyone well, but when they saw the people shouting all the time, they suddenly became one head and two big.

Until later, two officers and soldiers came from the gate of the city. Seeing the turmoil here, they were immediately angry. If you hinder the official affairs, they will be directly arrested and locked up in the cell, and let them eat in prison.

The common people have a natural sense of fear for the Yamen, and the prison cells are rumored to be like the Palace of the King of Hades. When they heard that the prison cells were going to be closed, everyone was afraid and dared not entangle with the officers and soldiers anymore.

Some directly paid the money to enter the door, and some were really reluctant to part with the money, and some turned around and left.

However, it is not easy for many people to come here, and most people still choose to pay money to enter the city.

A turmoil seemed to be over like this. Chu Xuan and the others walked to the door, and the officers and soldiers said, "One person, two copper coins, the carriage, five copper coins, the three of you, one carriage, eleven copper coins."

Chu Xuan looked at the officers and soldiers in front of him, they were very strange.

Well, since he returned to Liupan County, he looked very strange to those officers and soldiers.

He picked up Brother Monkey's bamboo hat and gestured to the officers and soldiers, "Master, there are only two of us."

The soldier saw it, my good guy, it really is two people and one monkey, no, there is a squirrel in the car.

With so many animals, is it a juggling job?

The rules are there, but the officers and soldiers only received nine copper coins in the end.Chu Xuan nodded with a smile, and then put the bamboo hat on Brother Hou, who immediately drove the horse to continue walking inside.

After their carriage left, the officer and soldier said, "So monkeys can still be used like this?"

There are still many people around, everyone is busy, and no one pays attention to what he said.

Later, when he was not busy, the man thought of the monkey again, and immediately told the people around him about it.

Hearing his words, the surrounding officers and soldiers also found it amusing, and then someone said, "Speaking of which, I've heard of a very smart monkey."

Hearing his words, several other officers and soldiers who had been on duty in Liupan County also said, "Hey, don't you mean Brother Monkey?"

Hearing that these local officers and soldiers seemed to know something, the soldier who had just arrived in Liupan County said, "Hey, why do you all know so well?"

Then, someone told the officer and soldier about the legend of the Temple of the Divine Doctor.

When it was said that there were more than a dozen cash boxes piled up in the temple, but no one took them away, the soldier's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

Everyone laughed and forgot about it after saying this.For such a well-known rumor, they had listened to an unknown number of versions, and passed it after listening to it.

And the soldier also laughed, but his eyes rolled slightly, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart.

When Chu Xuan and the others entered the city, they found a place to foster the carriage after they knew the way, and they started to go shopping.

After all, the needs of brother monkey and little squirrel are different from theirs.

Anyway, two of them are smarter than one, and they are not afraid of losing money.

Chu Xuan brought Dou Su to buy clothes, so he went straight to the tailor shop.

However, Liupan County is very different from ten years ago, and there are several more clothing stores.

Chu Xuan was not short of money, so he directly took Dou Su to the best one.

It has snowed a few days ago, and everyone knows that the snow season is coming, and many people are buying clothes.

Chu Xuan compared Dou Su's figure, and took away the few sets that he thought were good.

Dou Su was smiling, Chu Xuan asked him if he liked it, and he nodded and said yes.

Chu Xuan wanted to tease him, so he specially chose a red set.

At first Dou Su didn't pay attention, when Chu Xuan asked if he liked it, he nodded subconsciously.When he found out that something was wrong, Chu Xuan had already wrapped up the fiery red gown.

Dou Su: "...will it be too popular?"

Chu Xuan smiled, "No, wearing red for Chinese New Year is a festive occasion."

Dou Su was a little annoyed, thinking that the adults in his family would bully him if they did not learn well.Rolling his eyes slightly, he saw a red gown that could be worn by an adult, and quickly asked the seller to wrap it up for him.

Chu Xuan: "..." This little guy is not willing to suffer at all.

He shook his head amusedly.

After going out, seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Chu Xuan found an empty corner, stuffed the package into the back basket, and the two continued to stroll.

In the past, when they were very poor, the first year was very difficult.

Later, when Chu Xuan became rich, they separated again.Speaking of which, they haven't had a good year yet.

Chu Xuan thought about it, and bought a lot of red paper. When the time comes, he can write couplets by himself when he gets home, just in time for the little squirrel to try his hand.

If there are too many, you can paste some red lanterns, or cut some window grilles, and paste them everywhere, which also looks festive.

Chu Xuan really went to the cloth store to buy a few bolts of cloth and a pack of embroidery needles, and was going to let a few little ones practice their hands back home.

Dou Su looked at this scene, and silently lighted some wax for the two little guys in her heart.

Of course, in terms of food, you can't just count on the two little guys. When the two see delicious nuts or snacks, they will put them in the basket.

When the common people buy things, there are a lot of people carrying baskets, and no one pays attention to how much they put in the baskets.

After buying, buying and buying, both of them felt refreshed.

Seeing that everything was almost bought, and it was getting late, the two of them were going to find a restaurant to have a meal first.

Although their monkey brother's cooking is getting better and better, but occasionally, they also want to change the taste.

As soon as the two of them reached the door, they heard a commotion, accompanied by a burst of scolding and screams of people turning their backs on their backs, and saw a horse rushing from far to near.

Chu Xuan frowned slightly.

It was the season to hoard food before the winter, and there were so many pedestrians on the street, many people fell to the ground because they couldn't dodge in time, and there were scenes of people turning their backs everywhere.

Soon, a horse stopped in front of the restaurant, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy jumped off the horse.

The manager of the hotel and Xiaoer had heard about this big battle, they all came out to greet them, and invited people inside enthusiastically. "Isn't this Mr. Zheng? What wind brought you here, please come inside."

The boy raised his eyebrows, and passed the lead rope over, "You know me."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Who doesn't know the young master of the county grandpa's family?"

Young Master Zheng was praised by others, but he didn't show much joy, he waved his hand, "Okay, I heard that your food is pretty good, bring me a table of special dishes."

The shopkeeper quickly and enthusiastically responded, "Okay ~ Master Zheng, please wait a moment, the dishes will be here in a while."

Young Master Zheng walked up to the private room on the second floor with his hands behind his back.

Chu Xuan was slightly puzzled, the son of the county magistrate...

Thinking of the officers and soldiers who charged the entrance fee outside, and thinking of this strange son, Chu Xuan didn't know what happened, maybe the magistrate of Guan County had already changed his post.

Dou Su obviously also guessed, "It seems that Mr. Guan should be promoted."

Generally speaking, county magistrates are elected every three years, and only those remote places where no one is willing to go will the county magistrates serve for a longer period of time.

Even in some barren lands, the county magistrate can't find a way out, and no one is willing to take over.

The former Liupan County was almost in this category, and Liu Mana's father-in-law had been doing it for more than ten years.

Now that Liupan County is becoming more and more prosperous, the people above probably just remembered to give him a promotion.

But counting the time, Liu Man's father-in-law is not too young. Since he has moved his position, he should not be sent to remote places again.

Looking at Liupan County, which has become more and more prosperous in recent years, the magistrate of Guan County has probably been promoted.

Promotion is a good thing, but the new county magistrate's behavior... I'm afraid it's not as gentle as the county magistrate Guan.

Chu Xuan looked at the dishes delivered to the second floor at an accelerated speed, but didn't say anything.

The two ordered a few side dishes, and they all tasted good. After eating a few dishes, they felt a little full.

They enjoyed eating here, but there was a very dissatisfied voice from upstairs, "As for your stuff, do you have the nerve to call it the best food in the county?"

Young Master Zheng's voice was very irritable, and the shopkeeper's non-stop laughing voice came from beside him.

Young Master Zheng finally left with a full stomach of anger.The shopkeeper left behind to clean up the mess with an unlucky face.

Dou Su frowned.

Dou Su has disliked people who waste food since she was a child, and now she has the urge to rush over and beat them up.

But in the end, he still held back. Although the young master wasted food, he gave him money, and he didn't say anything even if he didn't look at the boss, so he didn't have any position to ask.

After eating and going out, Chu Xuan went to Wang Gen's place.There are more and more new pilgrims, and the pottery figures in his inventory are not enough.

Wang Gen was the owner of the noodle shop that took Dou Su to eat after Chu Xuan just woke up, and Chu Xuan cured his lame leg.

Later, Chu Xuan needed to find someone who made pottery, only to find out that this was the one passed down by Wang Gen's family.

It's just that Liupan County was too poor at that time, and his pottery seller finally fell to the point where he needed to sell noodles to subsidize his family.

In the past ten years, the original remote shop has changed a long time ago. The affluent life of the people has led to a rapid development of the ceramic business.

Instead of showing his old age, Wang Gen looked younger than ten years ago.

That's right, the family's business got better, and he married a widow as his daughter-in-law, and this daughter-in-law also lived up to expectations, and gave birth to a fat boy for him within two years.

Wang Gen didn't expect that he could have children in this life, and he was happy every day, so the older he lived, the younger he lived.

Seeing Chu Xuan, Wang Gen immediately greeted him cheerfully.

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Chu Xuan proposed to make a group of pottery figures.Wang Gen immediately understood what he meant and personally took him to make a pottery figure.

What Chu Xuan has done over the years has become more and more smooth, even without help, he can make it look good by himself.

However, with the help of others, it is naturally faster.

He was still the same as before, he squeezed the first embryo, Wang Gen processed it for him, and the rest was waiting for baking.

After leaving Wang Gen's place, it was getting late. Chu Xuan felt it and found that the two little guys were waiting in the carriage by themselves, and then they drove the carriage back to the Temple of the Divine Doctor.

After Chu Xuan informed about the closing of the temple, no pilgrims came to burn incense on the mountain again.I thought that they just need to wait quietly for Wodong next.

Unexpectedly, two days later, the Temple of the Divine Doctor came again.

Chu Xuan and Dou Su looked at each other, Dou Su had already quickly ran out to open the door, then looked at the door with a puzzled expression, and said, "The Temple of the Divine Doctor is closed, please come back next year."
