Hong Hai'er rolled his eyes and said, "They are poor. I was a king at that time. How can I be the same as a group of mortal children?"
Fang Zheng just teased him, looked at the two children not far away, walked forward, clasped his hands and said, "Amitabha, two young donors, and the abbot Fang Zheng of Yizhi Temple. What is this place?"
Dachengzi immediately became happy when he heard this. His smile was a little wild, but more cheerful and generous. He smiled and said, "I'm really lost."
Fang Zheng smiled and said nothing. If you get lost, just get lost. Anyway, there is no difference between him and being lost now.
Dachengzi said: "My name is Li Dacheng, this is Wang Erhu, and this is our village, Daili Village."
Fang Zheng put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, thank you two little donors."
Fang Zheng also knew that he probably wouldn't be able to get anything out of the two children, so he might as well go into the village to have a look, so he left and walked inside with Hong Boy. Hong Hai'er remained silent. In his opinion, these two country boys were really not qualified to talk to him, the noble demon king, and they were too lazy to pay attention. But when he passed by the two children, he looked at the big eyes of the two little guys with some kind of expectation. After he passed by, he gradually turned into a feeling of loss. That feeling actually made his heart a little sour.
But Hong Hai'er immediately turned his head and hummed in his heart: "I am the Great Demon King, why do I care about two poor children?"
"Brother Dacheng, what is an abbot? Why is he talking about Amitabha?" Erhuzi scratched his head and asked in confusion.
"I don't know. They have entered the village. Let's go and follow them to take a look! The village chief and others must know what an abbot is, but his clothes are so clean. I wish I could wear one." Dachengzi sighed.
"Come on, I'll give you a pair of white clothes. Do you have any water to wash them?"
“…”
After entering the village, Fang Zheng discovered that this village was far from what he imagined. The earthy yellow walls, dilapidated houses, and curious eyes all came over. Fang Zheng suddenly became a strange creature in the eyes of the whole village. , or a rare animal.
Fang Zheng felt like he was close to a zoo...
Of course, everyone's eyes were not malicious, they were just curious as to why a monk came here...
At this moment, a man walked out of a courtyard and said to Fang Zheng: "Master, I am the village chief here. You can call me Village Chief Lei. Where do you come from?"
Fang Zheng said: "Amitabha, this poor monk came from outside and got a little lost. Seeing that it's getting late, he came to your village to have a fast meal and seek shelter."
Fang Zheng was telling the truth. He was indeed lost and didn't know where to go. He had no clue about the Wuxiang Sect mission, but he was always right when entering the crowd. At the same time, Fang Zheng opened his eyes and looked all the way, but he didn't see anything special about anyone. The villagers all have merit and karma, but some have more and some less. There are no lotus flowers or arrows to indicate them. This made Fang Zheng a little confused. Could it be that he was going in the wrong direction
However, the sun was gradually setting, and Fang Zheng still planned to find someone to ask about the situation and get to know the place before making any plans.
"I see. If Master doesn't mind, you can stay at my house first." Village Chief Lei was very hospitable.
Fang Zheng naturally would not refuse, so he quickly thanked him and took Honghai'er to follow Mayor Lei to his home. Although Village Chief Lei is the village chief, the house he lives in is not luxurious. It is just a house with an earth and stone structure. The walls of the house are very thick and are used for heat insulation. The room Fangzheng stayed in was very clean, and Fangzheng was very satisfied.
"Uncle, is there any water? I'm so thirsty..." After the resident came in, Hong Boy was no longer polite and started shouting immediately.
Village Chief Lei chuckled and said, "I'll get it for you later." After saying that, the generous figure went out. After a while, he came in with a large bowl of water. Hong Boy was indeed thirsty and took it immediately. I took a big sip immediately and ended up...
puff!
Honghai'er squirted water all the way out and shouted, "What kind of broken water is this? It tastes terrible, has a strange smell, and is filled with sand!"
When Village Chief Lei heard this, his face suddenly turned red, and a look of distress flashed in his eyes.
Fang Zheng looked at Village Chief Lei and then at the water on the ground. He raised his hand and gave Hong Hai'er a chestnut and said, "Monks are out there, so why are there so many picky ones?"
Honghaier said aggrievedly: "It tastes really bad... If you don't believe me, try it."
Fang Zheng took it and took a sip. Sure enough, it tasted a bit sweet, as if there was some potion in it, and there was indeed sand in it. I am used to drinking rootless purified water, and drinking this again is really hard to swallow.
Seeing this, Village Chief Lei smiled bitterly and said, "Why don't you two mages wait? There should be good water to drink in a while."
At this moment, a woman's voice came from outside: "Old Lei, get some water and start cooking."
Village Chief Lei smiled bitterly and said, "Well... I'll go out first."
Fang Zheng raised his head and drank the whole bowl of water. Although the water tasted terrible, Fang Zheng was not a fool. There was obviously a drought and water shortage here. Here, wasting water is more distressing than wasting food! Regardless of whether he is a monk or not, if someone treats him with water, it would be rude if he doesn't drink it.
When Village Chief Lei saw Fang Zheng finish the drink in one gulp, the smile on his face became even brighter. He has seen too many people come to their village, and they all end up defeated by this bowl of water. Fang Zheng's performance undoubtedly made him fond of him.
Village Chief Lei turned around and went out. Red Boy curled his lips and said, "Really, I don't even have a drink of water. What the hell is this place?"
Fang Zheng looked outside and said, "It's hard to say where this is as a teacher. But this must be a place with severe drought. Let's go out and have a look."
"Still going out? It's so hot..." Although Honghai'er wasn't afraid of the heat, the environment outside made her feel upset just looking at it.
Fang Zheng said: "Aren't you curious, where does the water we drink come from?"
When Hong Boy heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted: "Yes, you have to go and see! See what kind of broken water this is. If you don't give us good water, give us this to drink, hum... If this was me before, so I… "
"Huh?" Fang Zheng glanced at Honghai'er.
Honghaier immediately shut up and remained silent.
Fang Zheng nodded with satisfaction and went out, just in time to see Village Chief Lei walking out of an earth-and-stone house, carrying a small bucket in his hand, and went into the kitchen. Honghai'er hummed and said, "I'll go take a look."
Hong Hai'er was still unhappy. Although there might be less water here, there was no need to give him such weird-tasting water, right
Fang Zheng was afraid that Hong Boy would mess around, so he immediately followed him. When he came to the door, he heard someone talking inside.
"Leizi, don't you have much water?" The person who spoke was an old woman, her voice was a little weak.
"Mom, you're overthinking, there's plenty of water. Just drink it without worry..." Village Chief Lei's voice came with a bit of clarity.
