And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 145 The inferiority of a few people!
After breakfast, Chen Yuan continued to study painting.

With the previous day's study, Chen Yuan has laid a certain foundation in painting skills, and his speed of learning painting has suddenly become faster.

One day passed in the blink of an eye, and in the blink of an eye, it was the second day.

It has been two days since Chen Yuan came to Jieyang County, and today is the third day.

Chen Yuan is going to go back today.

After lunch, Chen Yuan bid farewell to Wu Yeshou, and Wu Yeshou sent Chen Yuan to the gate of the house.

With the sword box on his back, Chen Yuan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you brother Wu for your kindness. I can't repay you, so I will give you a few talisman papers. With these talisman papers to protect you, no matter what you encounter, it is enough to keep you safe and sound." Disaster, survive the catastrophe safely."

While speaking, he took out several pieces of yellow talisman paper and handed them to Wu Yeshou.

Among these talisman papers, they were all talisman papers that ordinary people could use, including the disease recovery talisman he had used on his donkey before.

As well as ghost talisman, demon talisman and so on.

The talisman papers selected by Chen Yuan are all talisman papers that are of great use to ordinary people.

Not only can it cure one's own diseases, as long as you carry it with you, you can save your life when encountering ghosts.

"Thank you, Su Chu, I'll be disrespectful."

Wu Yeshou did not refuse, but asked the book boy beside him to put away the talisman papers.

Although he is respected as a saint of painting, he doesn't have many opportunities to come into contact with practitioners like Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan told Wu Yeshou how to use these talisman papers.

"Brother Wu will be troublesome in the future. Every few days, Pindao will come to Brother Wu to learn painting skills."

After finishing speaking, Chen Yuan spoke to Wu Ye.

"Welcome."

Wu Ye smiled.

"By the way, since Su Chu is leaving, can you tell me Su Chu's background?"

Wu Yeshou then asked Chen Yuan again.

Since Chen Yuan said that he was just a Taoist priest who placed an order to Fuhu Temple, and Fuhu Temple and the Taoist Xuyun he knew, in addition to giving Chen Yuan the position of deputy temple master, they also gave Fuhu Temple's spells to him. Chen Yuan practiced, it can be seen that Chen Yuan in front of him has a great background.

Otherwise, Xu Yun would definitely not set up a sub-master, which Fuhu Temple has never had before.

Chen Yuan didn't answer Wu Yeshou, he turned around and rode on the gray donkey that the book boy had brought for him.

"I will tell Brother Wu when I have a chance in the future."

The gray donkey carried Chen Yuan farther and farther on the road, and the figure of the young Taoist priest wearing a blue Taoist robe gradually disappeared on the trail.

Wu Yeshou and Shutong stood in front of the door, watching Chen Yuan leave.

……

Leaving Wu Yeshou's residence, on the way back to Jianghuai City.

Chen Yuan conveniently gave the gray donkey another sickness-reducing talisman.

And this made the disease on the gray donkey get better all of a sudden, and it was almost cured. As long as it is used again, it will be completely cured.

Aware of the illness on his body, it is getting better at the speed he can feel, and the gray donkey even travels at a much faster speed along the way.

When Chen Yuan just rode a donkey into Jianghuai City, he vaguely saw two acquaintances in the crowd.

"Aren't they the mother and daughter that I saw on the cargo ship before? Are they here too?"

Chen Yuan felt a little curious.

But counting the time, the cargo ship should have arrived in Jianghuai City, and it has been a few days.

Then he followed on his donkey.

After following each other for a while, Chen Yuan discovered that the mother and daughter seemed to be begging along the street.

Because of the outstanding looks of the mother and daughter, there are not many people who give them alms, but there are many passers-by in gorgeous clothes who molested them.

Some passers-by took a fancy to the girl and told the woman that if the woman was willing to sell her daughter, he would pay ten taels of silver to buy the girl.

Someone took a fancy to the woman and said to her, if he wants to go home with her, he is willing to pay 20 taels of silver to buy her. After returning home with him, he can eat delicious food and drink spicy food, so why bother begging on the street? ?

Some people also said that they would like to give the woman some silver taels and buy the woman and the girl together, so that they don't have to suffer from begging anymore.

The woman hated these frivolous remarks very much, and cursed these gorgeously dressed passers-by as beasts in clothes.

These passers-by were not ashamed, they just stood by, laughing and surrounding the mother and child.

Dayong is a country with strict laws. In broad daylight, they dare not do acts of robbing women.

But it did not hinder them, molesting and harassing the mother and daughter with words.

Just when the mother and daughter were getting annoyed, Chen Yuan, who was riding a gray donkey, walked up to the mother and daughter.

"Ma'am, I haven't seen you for a long time, how have you been?"

Chen Yuan greeted the mother and daughter.

"Daoist Qingming! It's you!"

Seeing the young Taoist priest wearing a blue Taoist robe riding on the back of a gray donkey, the woman said with surprise and surprise on her face.

She has been harassed by this group of people to the point of helplessness, and seeing Chen Yuan, whom she hasn't seen for many days, appear, it's like grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Do you need Pindao to help you mother and son to solve this trouble?"

Chen Yuan asked the woman.

"It's best if the Daoist is willing to make a move, thank you for the kindness of the Daoist."

Seeing that Chen Yuan offered to help, the woman said happily.

Both she and her daughter had seen the scene of Chen Yuan eliminating demons on the boat, and the other party even saved her daughter's life from the monster's mouth. They all knew that this young Taoist priest was a capable immortal .

"Have you heard it? Hurry up and leave!"

Chen Yuan turned his eyes to the side, the group of people in gorgeous clothes, who seemed to be rich sons of rich families in the city.

"Where did you come from Xiaodao, do you know who we are and dare to meddle in our business?"

Seeing that a young Taoist priest riding a donkey came out halfway, interrupting their fun of flirting with women, the group of people looked very ugly, and some of them threatened Chen Yuandao.

Chen Yuan just sat on the donkey's back, looking at the few people calmly, just when they were a little scared by Chen Yuan's eyes in their hearts.

The next moment, the donkey under Chen Yuan's crotch moved first.

The back foot stepped on the ground, and the two donkey hooves in front, like raindrops, stepped on several people, and the hind hoof kicked out from time to time, knocking down a large area of ​​them, and they cried for their father and mother with.

In addition, the gray donkey opened its mouth, showing its two rows of big teeth, biting a man's sleeve, tearing half of the man's clothes before letting go, and then tearing the other man's clothes on the ground. One, bit the front of the chest of the person kicked by its heels.

"Stop it, stop it!"

"Tell your donkey to stop. If you don't stop, we will go to the Yamen and sue you for letting your donkey hurt people!"

These people were bullied by a donkey so that they could not fight back. They threatened Chen Yuandao.

Chen Yuan, who was about to draw his sword, saw that the gray donkey under his crotch was the first to strike, and bullied several people so that they could not fight back. He felt amused, and chose to wait and see what happened.

Hearing their threats, Chen Yuan said with a smile: "If you want to sue the officials, you have to be able to leave here first, not to mention that you molested women first."

"Okay, you have a sense of trail, let's wait and see."

Hearing what Chen Yuan said, these people knew that they were bound to suffer this loss.

Immediately they stopped being entangled, and scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing into the surrounding crowd and disappearing.

"Good job."

After these people disappeared, Chen Yuan patted the head of the gray donkey under his crotch, and the gray donkey showed its two rows of big teeth, making a human-like grinning expression.

This made the surrounding gradually gather, and the people watching were amazed,
But the woman who witnessed all this felt that it was justified.

Because they had witnessed the scene of Chen Yuan slaying demons on the boat, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the Taoist priest in front of them was a fairy.

The donkey that the other party was riding actually drove back several people and showed a human-like smile, which seemed unbelievable to others, but it seemed very normal to the young Taoist in front of him.

"Let's go, find a place, and tell Pindao about your experiences in the past few days."

After driving away those people, Chen Yuan looked at the mother and daughter beside him and said.

The mother and daughter did not hesitate at all, they immediately chose to trust Chen Yuan, because they had only one acquaintance, Chen Yuan, who they could trust in Jianghuai City.

Chen Yuan immediately turned the direction of the donkey and walked in front, and walked towards Qingyang Temple.

Mother and daughter, one tall and one short, followed behind Chen Yuan.

However, Chen Yuan didn't let the gray donkey drive very fast, and the mother and daughter could barely keep up.

Ashamed to say, when Chen Yuan was on that cargo ship, the mother and daughter were probably the most unfamiliar people!

He didn't even know the other person's name.

Soon, Chen Yuan took the mother and daughter to find an inn not far from Qingyang Temple.

Chen Yuan rolled over and got off the donkey before and after the gray donkey reached the inn door, patted the donkey's back and said to the gray donkey, "Go back to Qingyang Temple by yourself first."

Chen Yuan felt that the gray donkey should be able to return to the Qingyang Temple by himself based on the wisdom that the gray donkey has shown so far.

hum~
After the gray donkey brayed a few times!
He ran in the direction of Qingyangguan, and ran over for a while, attracting many people in front of the inn to watch.

"Let's go, you guys haven't eaten for a long time? Otherwise, you wouldn't be begging!"

Chen Yuan said to the mother and daughter behind him.

The girl hugged the woman's arm, and the mother and daughter looked a little embarrassed when they heard Chen Yuan's words.

Chen Yuan took his mother and daughter into the inn.

"Inn, do you want to eat or stay in a hotel?"

As soon as the three of Chen Yuan walked in, a waiter came up to entertain them.

"Let's have a table of special meals in your restaurant first, and serve them in portions for three people."

Chen Yuan said to the buddy.

"Okay, a few guests, please sit down."

The buddy found a seat near the corner for Chen Yuan and the others on the first floor, and took Chen Yuan and the others to sit down.

Chen Yuan looked around the store, because it was almost dusk and it was time to eat, so there were a lot of people eating in the store, and there were hardly any vacant seats

"Tell me, your names, and why you came all the way to Jianghuai City, but begged in Jianghuai City?"

While waiting for the dishes to be served in the back kitchen, Chen Yuan asked the mother and daughter who were sitting opposite.

"Daoist, the woman's name is Yan Lanfang. Because she married into the Lu family, others call her the woman Lu Yan."

After introducing herself, the woman looked at the girl next to her and said:
"She is Lu Xiaoqiu, the daughter of a commoner."

"What is the purpose of your coming to Jianghuai City?"

Chen Yuan asked Yan Lanfang.

"Master Daoist, the woman is here to find her husband. He went to Beijing to take the exam eight years ago, and he hasn't heard from him since then. The woman heard from some acquaintances in the country who stayed in Jianghuai City that the husband of the woman was married in Jianghuai City. Senior officer, so I brought my daughter to him and wanted to ask him why he didn't come home all these years."

Yan Lanfang said sadly to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan probably guessed it as soon as he heard it. This should be similar to the story of Qin Xianglian and Chen Shimei's murder case in ancient times in his previous life.

But in this world, there is no Bao Gong.

According to Yan Lanfang's narration, her husband should have been in high school when he took the college entrance examination in Beijing, otherwise he would not have become a high official in a prefecture like Jianghuai City.

However, Chen Yuan is not surprised. This kind of plot where one of the husband and wife suddenly becomes prosperous and abandons the original spouse for a better future has been continuously performed since ancient times.

Including what Chen Yuan saw before traveling in his previous life, when many people took the postgraduate entrance examination, "the first sword on the shore, the first to kill the person you like" is such a thing.

This is the inferiority of a few people, and it has nothing to do with men or women.

"Then have you found it?"

Chen Yuan asked.

In fact, Chen Yuan already had the answer in his heart.

If Yan Lanfang finds her husband, he will not have to meet their mother and daughter.

"I found it, but he didn't want to see our mother and daughter, and he didn't even show up."

Yan Lanfang said bitterly.

Chen Yuan didn't know what to say. Her husband hadn't returned home for eight years, and he hadn't sent any letters home, which already explained the problem.

It's just that Yan Lanfang still held a sliver of hope in her heart and refused to give up, so she took her daughter on a journey of thousands of miles to Jianghuai City, wanting to ask her clearly.

"Guest officer, your food is here."

At this moment, the inn clerk brought the food that Chen Yuan had ordered to the table.

"Eat first, and talk while you eat."

Chen Yuan said to the mother and daughter.

Needless to say, Chen Yuan, when the mother and daughter watched the waiter bring the fragrant food to the table, they couldn't move their eyes for a while, and swallowed hard.

However, they did not move their chopsticks, but looked at Chen Yuan who was sitting opposite.

"You guys eat, the poor are not hungry."

Chen Yuan said to the mother and daughter.

With Chen Yuan's permission, the mother and daughter each brought a bowl of corn and rice, picked up the chopsticks, and began to eat in big mouthfuls.

"You have traveled thousands of miles to Fucheng to look for relatives, you must have brought money, why did you end up begging along the street?"

While watching them eat, Chen Yuan asked them.

"The Taoist priest didn't know that before we went out, we did carry a lot of money on our bodies. Although we won't live in an inn every day, we won't be reduced to begging on the street."

"The reason why our mother and daughter are begging today is entirely because of our money, and we were stolen shortly after we got off the boat."

"After eating the little dry food we carried, we had no choice but to beg along the street."

While wolfing down the food on the table, the woman said bitterly.

Chen Yuan was not surprised. Thieves, as one of the oldest occupations, have existed since the operation of human society, and they have been endless. Even the modern society of the previous life has not been completely eradicated, let alone the ancient world.

What's more, the mother and daughter, in the eyes of experienced people, can tell at a glance that they are foreigners, and they came to Jianghuai City for the first time, and they have no self-protection power at all. stole.

If they hadn't just met Chen Yuan today, it might not be easy for their mother and daughter to escape from the harassment of those people.

"Pindao, look at the boss of the boat, who protected you mother and daughter along the way, where did he go?"

Chen Yuan then thought of the big salamander who was the boss of the boat.

"Brother Feng is a good man. He and the women are from the same hometown. He did protect our mother and daughter along the way, but as the boss of the ship, he also has his own business to do, so it is impossible for him to guard our mother and daughter all the time."

Hearing Chen Yuan mention the ship boss, Yan Lanfang flashed a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

Only then did Chen Yuan understand why the boat boss took such good care of the mother and daughter along the way. It turned out that they were from the same village.

"By the way, what's your husband's name?"

Chen Yuan thought for a while, and then asked the mother and daughter in front of him.

"My father's name is Lu Bozheng."

After the food was served, the girl who had been eating without speaking suddenly raised her head and said to Chen Yuan.

Lu Bozheng!
Immediately appeared in Chen Yuan's mind, when he first arrived in Jianghuai City a few days ago, he was invited by the Changchun Taoist, the prefect of Chuzhou who wanted to befriend him at the banquet.
