Chapter 4 Teahouse Shocking News

Next to the official road, the tea stalls were raising smoke.

"When I stop and take a break," the woman in front of the tea stall sang. A Yao thought she wanted to take a break, but after watching it for a long time, she realized that this was her tea stall advertising slogan, which was to attract customers with singing.

Three or four out of ten pedestrians entering the city will rest at the tea stall, a bowl of herbal tea, two or three steamed cakes, eat and drink before entering the city.

The tea stall is not far from the city gate, and the letter "Nanxun County" is written.

There were several soap-coat yamen runners guarding the gate of Nanxun County, checking the road guides of the people entering the city. A Yao saw the people queuing to enter the city handed over the stack of papers full of words. After reading them roughly, the yamen runners compared them a few times before returning the road guides to them, and waved their hands to signal him to go in, and the same was true for the next one.

She was in trouble: "There is no way to lead me, how should I get into the city? I can't even climb the wall..."

"Boss, let's have three steamed cakes and a bowl of tea!"

"Okay!"

As the tea stall owner lifted the cage on the pot, steam rushed out one after another. The fragrance of rice and grain penetrated into A Yao's nose with the wind. She sniffed hard, revealing a happy expression.

It smells so good. The grains in the sun grow vigorously. They bleed, ground into coarse or fine noodles, mixed grains and rice paste, kneaded into a ball, cover a wet cloth to wake up the dough, knead evenly, and knead the bubbles inside, fold the hand inward and knead the dough into small steamed buns. This family likes to lay a piece of dry lotus leaves in the cage. The steamed buns also have the faint fragrance of lotus leaves. After drinking a bowl of lotus seed heart tea, it clears the heart fire, relieves heat and relieves irritability, and quenches thirst.

"Gu~" The more you think, the more you feel your stomach screams.

After walking for a long time, the porridge was digested. A Yao swallowed the overflowing saliva hard and tried her best to ignore the steaming wheat cake that had just been out of the cage.

A child wearing a long life lock came to her, with a bright red cinnabar on her eyebrows and black eyes, as pure as a boy under Guanyin.

A Yao smiled at him, and the child also smiled, then pointed at A Yao and shouted: "Ah Mom, Ah Mom! There is a little beggar here!"

"..." Damn, naughty child! A Yao's smile froze on her face.

The boss's wife had time to take a look at A Yao.

A Yao moved her center of gravity backwards, and she was a little panicked, and she could run away at any time when she saw that something was wrong.

The boss lady said, "It's not that I've seen it before. You care about so much, come back soon!"

"But you usually drive away..." the child muttered, obediently returning to the boss's side, and turned around to make faces for A Yao.

A Yao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the tea stall.

A small house that shelters from the wind and rain, with several tables and chairs built on the stove outside the house, and a couple with their children form a tea stall.

Since I can't get into the city for a while, I'll wait until the night is over and hide under the eaves for a night to rest. Judging from the boss's reaction, if I'm found out the next day, I'll not be able to do anything. It's much more comfortable than staying in the woods and rivers.

A Yao squatted under the shade of the tree and listened to the conversation between tea guests and got a message.

After walking a cup of tea along the way out of the city, there is a bamboo forest path leading to Qingning Temple. The Guanyin worshipped in Qingning Temple is the most effective. Whether it is seeking a child or seeking marriage, everything you want is accomplished.

And more importantly, Qingning'an is willing to adopt the elderly, weak, and helpless elderly, weak and young women and children!

Like the welfare home in later generations.

In the evening, the sky was full of colorful clouds. A Yao thought about the time. Her journey was pretty good. She went to Qingning Temple to investigate the situation. It was just night after returning. At that time, the tea stall was closed and the tea was cold. It was convenient for her to rest on the spot.

He walked towards the direction of the people who helped the elderly and the young, and soon arrived at Qingning Temple.

A large piece of open space in front of Qingning Temple was favored by hawkers who were good at doing business. More and more people were doing business, forming a small market, singing loudly and attracting customers. Whenever business comes to the door, it will be full of lotus flowers and a lot of money, striving to promote business and make a small amount of money.

The cardamom girl and the woman were lingering in the market, laughing loudly, and A Yao walked through the crowd without looking sideways. She walked through the mountain gate and stepped on a hundred steps to the ladder.

However, under the long night bell, the nun sweeping the floor slowly closed the door - she was still late.

"I can only come with the people tomorrow morning to check it out. When I return to the tea stall, they should have left."

Unexpectedly, when she went back, she saw the tea stall brightly lit from afar, and she was completely in a bad mood!

She has made a good plan, but the family lives in a tea stall and runs a night market!

What about the ancient convenience store! The city gates are closed, whose business are you doing?

The boss and the boss's wife couldn't hear the crazy resentment in A Yao's heart. The whole family finished eating the porridge and pickles with wheat cakes. As soon as they were packed up, the business came to their door.

A Yao squatted in a place where the naughty child was discovered. She originally planned to hide under the table of the tea stall and let her last night be shattered. This is the second resting place she chose. She is backing a big tree to enjoy the cool air. There are plants that repel mosquitoes around her, so she is not afraid of being harassed. People come and go outside the city during the day, and there are temples nearby, snakes, tigers, and wolfs. The chance of appearing is not too high... right?

"Mom! That little beggar is here again!"

What's the name of a naughty child? Can't you be quiet?

A Yao looked in the voice, and the child who looked like a Guanyin boy stood under the lantern at the tea stall, like a pair of sharp corners on his head, holding a long fork in his hand, pointed at her and screamed loudly.

The sunset dissipates, replaced by the stars in the sky. The breeze brings the comfortable coolness of the mountains and forests. The suburbs of the night are deserted and quiet. The children's voice suddenly breaks the silence, and the farmers who come to eat tea to rest also look over and laugh.

She was ashamed of shame and shrank back from the tree. You must know that such a child was so mean and didn't know what he would do!

Safety first, life is the most important thing.

A Yao silently recited these eight-character proverbs and brainwashed the grievances and hidden tears in her heart.

I couldn't see A Yao, the child curled his lips, and the farmers who were eating tea also withdrew their gaze and continued to talk.

"After the vernal equinox, God is fickle, either a drought or a flood, and a sad harvest. Although it can be passed, if someone in his family gets sick, he will inevitably take the path of Jiangliu Village. Tomorrow I will ask my wife to take a few children to worship God, so that no one in the family will get sick this year." One of them sighed.

The person beside him said, "You have asked you to work with us as a long-term worker for the Pei family, but you don't listen. Master Pei is here and merciless. His family's land is excellent. The amount of harvest is still redundant. This number... is more than the amount of land in the family. Otherwise, I would have to learn from the remote area of ​​Jiangcun to sell children and daughters as two-legged sheep."

"This year is a great fortune. I tell you. My wife works in the Pei family and said that it was because the eldest master wanted to marry a bride. The eldest master was unhappy, so she came to relax. If this is true, I will go to Qingning Temple to burn incense tomorrow and ask the Bodhisattva to bless the eldest master to marry a bride every year!"

At about the beginning, the person said: "Are you poor and bad water in Jiangcun? Their land is good! We have a heavy drought and heavy water here, and they are not affected at all! Two-legged sheep are..." When he said this, his voice lowered

Here comes.

A Yao approached them secretly, hid in the dark place and pricked up her ears. The original owner's memory told her that she had grown up in Jiangcun before.

"That's because there is a family in Jiangliu County that is quite a big family. His son likes to eat children's meat the most!"
