Not a fairy guest

Chapter 3: I was young and my clothes were thin

What I have been talking about for the past few years is nothing other than the most sensational incident in the city these days about the madness of the eldest lady of the Song family.The richest man in Yu County, Song Yuan, had a thousand gold in his wife's family. He was regarded as the daughter of his old age, and she was raised to be a beautiful girl. However, she was too pampered and pampered, so she had no handkerchief.Only Lao Zhangtou's family in Qingnan Village, not far away, has a son who grew up with her.

This old Zhangtou's son has never complained about Miss Song's bad temper. He often boasts about her to others and even protects her better than her father.As time went by, the two of them became like childhood sweethearts. Song Yuan was not very happy with the two of them interacting, probably because he looked down on Lao Zhangtou's son.But this young man was diligent and protective of Miss Song. Member Song saw this and turned a blind eye to this matter.It's just that this girl is getting married, and Song Yuanwai originally wanted to find a well-matched son of a wealthy family. Even if he wasn't as wealthy as his own, he wouldn't let Miss Song marry her and suffer the injustice.In addition, Song Yuan also promised Miss Song a dowry of one thousand taels of silver and various gold and silver jewelry, which made many unmarried ladies envious.

Under such inducement, there were many children from wealthy families who were willing to be their son-in-law, and they immediately hit it off with Song Yuanwai.

But this young lady from the Song family is also considered an idiot. She insists on not marrying her son, who is not an old man. This makes the Song member, who has always looked down on rural villagers, get angry. The father and daughter are causing a lot of trouble in the Song family. Damn it, Lao Zhangtou's son felt that he was not good enough for Song Qiuhe, so he wanted to come to persuade the father and daughter and let her find a family to marry.But before he even got close to the gate, Song Yuanwai ordered someone to drag him to the courtyard, beat Lao Zhangtou's son severely, and then hanged him on a jujube tree for a day and night. The humiliation could not be heard.

After this incident, the bright and cheerful daughter of the Song family became depressed. When Song officials saw their daughter in the boudoir outside, they were horrified.This Miss Song was wearing red clothes and talking to herself in front of the mirror.Song Yuanwai originally thought that her daughter was just overly sad and her mind was affected. She sought medical advice for a while, but her condition became more and more serious. Later, Miss Song stayed up all night, going to the wooden doors of her home one by one, and making out from time to time. The screams made everyone in the Song family panic.

Song Yuanwai was afraid from the bottom of his heart. After listening to others' persuasion, he also felt that his daughter was most likely to have messed with something unclean and was possessed by evil spirits, so he invited some wise magicians.Not to mention, it was indeed effective. The Miss Song family also recovered and even went out to play with the maid a few days ago.But until yesterday, for some unknown reason, the Miss Song family started tearing open the wooden door again at night, causing ghosts to cry and moan in the middle of the night, which was far weirder than before.

After listening to the young man's story, I didn't expect that at the foot of Sifang Mountain, which is known as the orthodox Taoist school in the world, there would be a monster causing trouble. An ordinary little monster would definitely not dare to act so recklessly. I guess that monster must have a good Taoist practice.

The old Taoist priest sat in his seat, his legs shaking unconsciously, but Yu Nian didn't notice it at all, and he was still salivating in self-indulgence.

His unnatural smile gradually settled on his face.Only after Yu Nian finished speaking eloquently did he notice this.

"Are you tired, old man? I'm going to go to the kitchen to see your plain noodles!" After saying that, Yu Nian raised his legs and walked towards the back hall.

Yang Qing glanced at the old Taoist's face, "Is it very difficult?"

The old Taoist picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip of tea, and said with a solemn expression, "You have to take a look to find out what kind of evil monster it is!"

"If we can't deal with it, wouldn't we lose my wife and lose our troops?" The girl frowned, thinking about the danger of this matter.

The old Taoist didn't answer, but Yu Nian came over again in high spirits, carrying two bowls of plain noodles.

"Sir, here are two bowls of noodles!" He quickly placed the two bowls of noodles in front of the two of them. Yang Qing smelled the aroma of the noodles coming towards them, and hurriedly took out her chopsticks and ate them with relish.

The old Taoist also took a big mouthful of plain noodles smoothly. Seeing that Yu Nian had no intention of leaving, he raised his head and couldn't help but ask, "Why is my little friend so interested in the affairs of the Song Dynasty?"

Yu Nian smiled and said, "When the immortal is exorcising evil spirits, can you show me the way?"

This made the two people who were immersed in eating stop their chopsticks. They looked at their noses and their noses, and the old Taoist priest's eyes darkened, "Why is this?"

Yu Nian touched his nose a little shyly, "I don't know what the immortals know. I have been fond of chivalry since I was born, and I have always been fascinated by the art of cultivating immortals and exorcising demons. It's just that my qualifications are stupid and I haven't been able to cultivate any skills... "Yang Qing didn't believe a word of this rhetoric.She turned her bright eyes to thinking, and raised the corners of her lips knowingly, "I'm afraid you are not attracted by the bounty."

The old Taoist priest's pupils shrank, yes, why did he ignore the reward?He subconsciously touched the purse at his waist with his right hand. The copper plate inside was as thin as a piece of paper. If things continued like this... the girl would have to sleep in the open air every day.He looked at the plain noodles in front of him again, and suddenly lost his appetite.

Yu Nian was struck by the beautiful girl's words, and he suddenly felt helpless. "Whatever the girl said, I certainly believe that the two of them are not comparable to those ordinary people, and they will definitely be able to get rid of the evil spirits of the eldest lady of the Song Dynasty." If I can learn even a little bit about the skills of the two of you, it would be a blessing. This bounty... can be divided no matter how you choose. Don't you also need a lookout, someone who understands the situation in the Song family?" He said Then, he glanced left and right at the diners in the lobby. Seeing that no one else was paying attention, he lowered his voice, moved a long chair and sat down, making the two of them bow their heads.

"The Song Mansion used to have a banquet at Taoyuan Tower every big day. I've been lucky enough to go there a few times. The landscape garden in that mansion is really big and looks like a palace. I'm familiar with the business. Wouldn't it be convenient for you two masters?" He was a little proud, but his expression quickly turned away, his eyes full of hope.

The old Taoist thought to himself, and it was indeed as Yu Nian said. Firstly, they did not know the terrain of the Song Mansion, and secondly, they were peeking into the lady's boudoir at night. If it was self-defeating, it would become a joke in the city after dinner.However, I don't have enough money at the moment, so I can't give the guide too much. But if this kid doesn't have the ability to protect himself, if he really encounters a monster, why not swallow him alive?Then he hesitated again.

When Yu Nian saw that this matter was promising, how could he give up the opportunity? He continued to say Gong Huo, "If the immortal agrees, my arrangements here will all be based on the master's orders. Isn't it like you and me?"

The old Taoist was overjoyed, this was quite what he wanted.But Yu Nian, who is very good at observing words and expressions, looked at the spring-like face of the old Taoist, and secretly thought that he was not bad at all. He could do it if he kept grinding for [-]%!Having lost that [-]% of the reward in vain, I suppressed my regret for the time being, but I couldn't help but feel a burst of heartache, but the corners of my lips were still filled with that yearning smile.

Yang Qing couldn't help but stepped on Lao Tao's foot, indicating that Yu Nian was an unknown person or an ordinary citizen, and no matter which of them, he should not be allowed to participate in their journey of conquering demons, but Lao Tao was indifferent to the girl's reminder. , but asked with great interest, "How much is the reward?"

The old Taoist and Yu Nian smiled knowingly at each other. Only the accountant's hand, which was turning the abacus beads, had been hanging in the air for a long time, listening carefully to the private conversation, with a dark expression on his face.

After the two of them finished eating the noodles, they didn't want to stay at Taoyuan Tower any longer, so they paid the money and got up and left.Yu Nian thought of a place to talk, at a tea stall not far from Taoyuan Tower, and planned a night visit to the Song Dynasty.
He stopped what he was doing earlier than before, hurriedly ran to put the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, and didn't care about washing the dishes. He happily walked towards his bedroom and started to prepare to slay the demon tonight. The devil's "magic weapon".Even if it is a magic weapon, it is just a long sword with a simple style.This time it is rare to do something truly chivalrous and righteous. Maybe this sword will be useful tonight.

For the rest of my life, I have dreamed of being a hero since I was a child, so I will naturally not forget to bring it with me.In fact, whenever Shopkeeper Zhou needed him to travel far away, Yu Nian would often put this sword on his back and hold a dog's tail grass in his mouth, pretending to be a knight.In essence, Yu Nian himself didn't even know the Three-Legged Cat Kung Fu, and the long sword had never been taken out of its scabbard.Therefore, a few years ago, when Yu Nian was still a few years younger, some of his peers in Yu County often joked:

"Young swordsman, I work as a waiter in a restaurant. My heart is as high as the sky. It doesn't matter if my martial arts is mediocre. I carry an iron sword as a treasure."

Returning to the bedroom, Yu Nian dragged a wooden box out from under the bed, puffed up his cheeks, and blew hard on the lid, which didn't actually have much dust, before opening it and taking out the sword inside.

Speaking of which, this inconspicuous and simple long sword was left to him by his late father.As the only comfort thing, over the years, I have always regarded it as a treasure during my lonely childhood, and kept it carefully, almost wiping it every once in a while to prevent it from getting a trace of dust. As early as my ignorant age , whenever he was bullied or unhappy in Yu Nian, the young man would often hold his sword and talk about the unpleasant things that happened today, as if he was really complaining to his father.

After everything was prepared, the young man placed the cleaned long sword on the corner of the bed.Since it was still just after noon, the young man was half-leaning on the head of the bed, with his hands behind his head and staring up at the ceiling blankly. He actually remembered a troublesome thing: "At this time, I went out to catch monsters with the Sifangshan Immortal in the evening. How should I explain to Zhou Papi when I miss work? If my wages are deducted, well... take on more work in the afternoon and try to free up my time in the evening."

You must know that the last time he was caught sneaking out, he had a full year of wages deducted, so that now he could only find a few scattered copper coins on his body.

Thinking of this, Yu Nian pursed his lips and looked particularly unhappy.
