The concubine Jiaojiao has high means, but the sick prince does not flirt

Chapter 340 The little woodcutter is in a coma
After Bai Zhi finished speaking, he raised his head and said gratefully: "Thank you madam, I will do it. You must also be extremely careful. Many Taoist monks and other Taoist monks in the third prince's remaining party are extremely skilled in magic and are very tricky. I almost missed it several times." My life is at stake.”

Bai Zhi smiled calmly, and snorted, "Evil does not overwhelm righteousness, so I'm not afraid of those."

Li Gou Sheng gave a thumbs up again and praised him again.

Bai Zhi quickly prepared the meal.

She didn't give her food, but some meat buns.

"You take the buns back and share them with them. Anyway, I can't improve our relationship with you all at once and make them suspicious. You are one of ours. If anything happens in the future, won't they avoid you? You It’s still the same as before, eating and living with them, gaining their trust by the way, and those two are still easy to talk to.”

Li Gou Sheng took the buns and took the order to leave.

Bai Zhi looked at his back with a sneer on her face. This man was really good at socializing.

In the afternoon, Bai Zhi was resting in the sun in the courtyard of the back hall.

Suddenly the short man ran in and said, "Ma'am, someone is knocking on the mountain gate again."

Bai Zhi opened her eyes displeased and muttered: "Why is it so annoying? Who came again just after I fell asleep? The Taoist temple without incense has been strange recently. People come here again and again. I don't know what the purpose is."

With that said, she got up and followed the short man to the front yard.

Li Gousheng and the tall man were waiting in the courtyard of the front hall. When they saw her coming, they stepped forward and asked fawningly, "Young master and the old god are still practicing in the backyard, right?"

Bai Zhi ignored the question and asked directly: "Who is that person? Have you ever asked?"

Li Goucheng replied with a smile: "Madam, I asked you earlier. He said he was a nearby villager. When he came up and saw someone living in the temple, he came to offer incense and pray for blessings. He said that when he was a child, he often came with his elders to offer incense and missed this place very much. .”

Bai Zhi nodded slightly, turned to the short man and said, "Go and open the door."

The short man rushed to open the door and saw an old man with white hair and beard standing outside the door.

Behind the old grandfather, there was also a young man, looking very shy.

Next to them were two loads of firewood, which seemed to be woodcutters.

"Excuse me, is there a Taoist priest presiding over here, reopening the mountain gate and accepting incense?" The old woodcutter asked with Taoist etiquette.

Bai Zhi made a common courtesy and replied apologetically: "Old man, I have not reopened the mountain gate. I just came back with my master to remember my ancestor. Thank you, old man, for always thinking about this place. Let us look forward to the day when the mountain gate is reopened. "

The old woodcutter sighed in disappointment: "That's it. Alas, things have changed. There was such a popular Taoist temple, and there was also the Taoist priest Qingchengzi... That's all, I won't say it anymore. I'm older, so I can't stand it anymore. I can’t help but think of the past.”

The little woodcutter always hid behind the old woodcutter, not daring to look at the spectators.

Bai Zhi looked at her grandfather and grandson, feeling like they were ordinary people.

There are people living in the temple in the past few days, and it is normal for villagers to come and ask.

But she also understands that the highest level of camouflage is that no trace of camouflage can be seen. At this time, it is not easy for someone to come.

She smiled slightly and said empathetically: "I can understand the old man's thoughts. In the past, even I missed you very much, let alone you. I'm just sorry that I didn't reopen the mountain gate and let you down."

The old woodcutter shook his head and sighed, and asked again: "Is there anyone else in the audience? It's not safe for you to be here alone."

Bai Zhi hurriedly laughed and said, "My husband and I accompanied my grandfather here."

Only then did the old woodcutter nod his head reassuringly, and replied: "That's good, can I go in and have a look? I haven't entered a Taoist temple for many years, and the last time I came in was when Qingchengzi was here."

Bai Zhi thought for a while, with a troubled expression on her face, but she still nodded and said: "Okay, the old man should be an old pilgrim in the temple, how can you turn him away? Old man, I make the decision, please come in, just My husband and grandfather are busy with work and cannot receive you."

The old woodcutter waved his hand gratefully and said, "It's okay. I'll just go in and take a look. No reception is needed."

Then he turned his head and said to the grandson behind him: "Didn't you always want to take a look in the temple, and today your wish has been fulfilled, why do you always hide behind me, you little guy who can't get on the stage, come out soon and thank the lady ?”

Then the little woodcutter blushed, turned around from behind him, and saluted Bai Zhi: "Thank you, madam."

But he still didn't dare to look at Bai Zhi, and kept his head down.

Seeing his dark, strong, honest and shy appearance, Bai Zhi couldn't help smiling, if it wasn't for the disguise, he would really be a good boy.

"You're welcome, come in with your grandpa."

Accompanied by Bai Zhi and the others, the old woodcutter and the young woodcutter entered the front hall, offering incense and kowtow to Zhang Tianshi and others.

"Old man, please forgive me if you can't enter the back hall. After all, the mountain gate is not open, and the quiet room is unattended, so naturally you can't entertain guests."

Bai Zhi bowed to the old woodcutter apologetically and said, "But you can go to the side courtyard to have tea and rest."

The old woodcutter hurriedly waved his hand and said: "If you don't go to the back hall, I will only burn incense in the front hall."

The little woodcutter quietly tugged at the corner of his clothes and said in an almost inaudible voice: "Grandpa, I'm thirsty."

The old woodcutter just pretended not to hear and ignored it.

Naturally, Bai Zhi heard it, smiled slightly, and said to the short man: "Take the old man and the young master to the courtyard where you are temporarily staying for some tea. It's just a temporary stay."

Li Goucheng responded first this time: "Madam, don't worry, we will definitely entertain the old man and the young master."

Bai Zhi saluted and said with a smile: "The old man didn't entertain you well, please be more considerate."

The old woodcutter smiled hurriedly and said: "Madam, you are so polite. Then we will go over and ask for a drink of water. Thank you very much."

Bai Zhi watched the four of them go to the courtyard, a sneer appeared in her eyes.

The fun is about to begin.

Then she sat on the steps of the front hall, continuing to bask in the warm sun.

"It's not good, it's not good!"

The short man ran over with a panicked look on his face.

Bai Zhi smiled coldly, frowned and asked displeasedly: "Can you talk properly? Why is it so bad in the mountain gate?"

The short man hurriedly covered his mouth, but then took his hand away, walked up to her, and said urgently: "The little woodcutter fainted."

Bai Zhi spat: "Fainted? Why did you come to me if you didn't save people? You pinched people to save them!"

The short man cried and replied: "It's useless, he was hit by a strangler, and the little woodcutter is still in a coma, so please hurry up and save him."

"You didn't mean to harm the little woodcutter and extort money, did you? A good person, why did he suddenly faint? The woodcutter is not in good health, otherwise how could he go up the mountain to chop wood?"

Bai Zhi stared at the short man and asked suspiciously.
