Chapter 6 The Wang family expresses gratitude and the temple fair (thanks to the leader of the "Jue Zhi Wu Mu" boss)
When the Wang family came, Lin Jue was experimenting in the room.
The ancient book lay in his hands.
According to what is said in the book, Lin Jue gradually exerted force, starting from the toes at the bottom, and the force went up to the Dantian, and the force started from the top of the head, and went down to the abdomen. The two were not far apart, and when he forced the squeeze
Under pressure, they gradually overlap together.
Then he followed what was said in the book, concentrated his energy, stored this power here, and held it to the limit until he felt dizzy and unable to hold on any longer. Suddenly, he felt a burning sensation in his body.
Could this be the yang energy that is about to be vomited?
Lin Jue didn't dare to spit it out.
Then he quickly followed the practice method described in the book, holding his breath tightly, and at the same time slowly relaxed his mind. Only when the burning sensation naturally dissipated and returned to his body completely did he dare to relax.
"call……"
Take a long breath.
It's actually true?
Can ordinary people "exhale" without practicing?
Lin Jue opened his eyes wide in surprise.
The test results undoubtedly told him so.
Is this world so magical?
It was at this time that there was movement outside.
Lin Jue stood up and walked a few steps. After confirming that his physical and mental state were no different from before the experiment, he opened the window and took a look.
The Wang family in Hengcun is really particular about——
They probably thought it would look a little ugly to only bring the food and drinks they had promised in the morning, so they gathered a few more things together to form a gift that was not a small gift in the eyes of the locals.
The housekeeper of the Wang family also came in person.
There was also the servant whom Lin Jue called the housekeeper.
The aunt was flattered by this and hurriedly received her.
Lin Jue also hurriedly went out to greet him.
The real housekeeper was very shrewd. After a few polite words with Lin Jue and his aunt, he went to visit Lin Jue's uncle. He looked at Lin Jue's condition and asked which doctor he had invited. After hearing that it was the miracle doctor, he even
He nodded a few times to express his affirmation of the doctor's medical skills, and asked the aunt to show him the prescription. After reading the prescription, he immediately knew how much it would cost.
So he withdrew another ten taels of silver, which was regarded as fulfilling the promise of Mr. Wang.
The servant who was called the butler by Lin Jue also had a good impression of Lin Jue. Talking to him about the reaction of the Wang family after he left today made Lin Jue's heart, which was uneasy because of the heavy gift, a little more settled.
It was getting dark, so the other party didn't stay long and left quickly.
After all, I should have received ten thousand yuan from staying at the ancestral hall last night, but in the end I received forty taels of silver and many gifts.
For ordinary people, it is a huge sum of money.
The aunt put away the cloth, hung up the bacon, put the smelly mandarin fish in the stove, and put the wine properly. The only thing left that was related to Lin Jue was the food brought by the Wang family.
Dried bamboo shoots made from last year's winter bamboo shoots on the mountain are the most commonly eaten dish here. The bamboo shoots are stewed with pork belly, rich in oil and red sauce, and the meat is fragrant. It goes very well with rice. The new bamboo shoots that have been grown on the mountain recently are crisp and tender.
Only the tips of the bamboo shoots are used to cook marinated meat, also known as Daobanxiang. When you take a bite with the soup, it will be delicious on your tongue.
Fish head tofu, stewed fish.
The solid white rice steamed with a steamer is loose and the grains are distinct.
There is no doubt that this is the best meal Lin Jue has ever eaten since he came to this world.
For the time being, I just focused on eating and had nothing else to think about.
After paying for my uncle's medicine, he was relieved even though his condition was not cured. With such a good meal, he actually felt a sense of enjoyment while relaxing.
Happiness can be so simple.
The aunt gave all the meat to Lin Jue and her cousin, but sighed and said: "I said I wanted you to study in peace, but I didn't expect that I would have to rely on you in exchange for money in the end. If your father knew, he would definitely scold us."
"Won't……"
Lin Jue swallowed the food in his mouth and said.
"I think the housekeeper is reliable. He just said that there will be a temple fair in the city in a few days, and there will be many vendors from other places. There will be medicine dealers, medicine collectors, and medicine collectors. The medicine they sell will be cheaper. Even if you can't identify the medicine.
, I feel that the vendors who set up stalls are unreliable, and the prices at other drug stores in the city during those days are higher than usual.
It's cheap." The aunt said to them again, "The medicine at home is enough for Lin Qi's father to take for a few days. I thought, forget about those vendors who come from other places to set up stalls. We don't know whether what they sell is genuine or not.
If not, then I’ll go to Jishitang where I bought the medicine last time, I hope it’s really cheaper.”
The cousin also hummed.
Lin Jue had some thoughts after listening to it——
There are two temple fairs nearby.
There is a temple fair in Shucun, the Sangu Temple Fair, which is relatively small in scale and takes place not long after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year.
The other one is in the city, the Luoxian Temple Fair, which is larger and takes place on February 2nd every year.
Last year at the Luoxian temple fair, Lin Jue fell into the water. After being rescued by his uncle, he lay in bed for a few days. He said it was to nourish his body and soothe his soul, so he did not go to the temple fair to play. At that time, his uncle was not ill, and although life at home was tight, he was still busy.
I can barely afford to go. I have free time in early spring and rarely have fun once a year. I still have to go to the temple fair. Lin Jue's failure to go is his fault. Others have gone.
Lin Jue only remembered that he was lying in bed, confused and thinking about life, while his cousin Lin Qize was beside him and told him about the temple fair.
There are statues of Luo Xian walking across the street, dancing Fang Xiang, a dazzling array of snacks and trinkets, walking witches and warlocks, fortune tellers under the bridge, and all kinds of wonderful and unfathomable magic tricks.
Witches and Warlocks…
Fortune teller…
A magical trick...
I don't know if it's just a simple technique, or if there are really some strange spells.
I don’t know if it will cause any reaction from ancient books.
"Lin Jue wants to study, and he just spent the night in that family's ancestral hall. I don't know if he has hurt his body... Oops... Lin Qi, you go alone, but be careful." The aunt was always worried.
"I know, mother."
"Auntie." Lin Jue raised his head, his mouth still shiny, and said thoughtfully, "I heard Grandpa Shu who often lectured on ancient times in Xiaqiao Pavilion said that after people interact with monsters, they may be infected with evil spirits, or
Some unclean things. I went to pay homage to Sangu on the way back from cutting the grass today. I heard that the Luoxian in the county is also very spiritual, so I thought I would go and pay homage too. Why don’t I just go?"
"Oh, that's true!" The aunt immediately agreed, "Then Lin Qi will go with you. You happen to be well-educated and not easily deceived, so I'll give him the things to carry."
"That's fine."
"Did you really see a monster there?"
"I saw it in my dream..."
"How's it going? Come and listen!"
People of this age are indeed full of curiosity about such things, but their own family members are also more concerned about it.
Lin Jue was only thinking about cooking and the temple fair, but when his aunt started talking, he had no choice but to put down his chopsticks and thoughts for the time being, and recounted what happened last night in more detail than this morning.
…
Within a few days, we arrived at the temple fair.
"Walk!"
Before dawn, my cousin carried a large bamboo basket filled with bamboo shoots and asked Lin Jue to go to the city.
Lin Jue carried the ancient books and a small backpack.
Shucun is two hours away from the county seat by mountain road.
The roads here are uneven. For this reason, someone wrote a poem such as "Most of the villages are surrounded by water in deep forests, and half of the land is cultivated by people." This is very appropriate. Most of the mountains here are big mountains, and most of the forests are bamboo forests, which is rare.
The bamboo forest, which can cover entire mountains, is so dense that it blocks the sky during the day. At this time, it is even darker before dawn.
When the wind blows, the bamboo forest rustles.
I don't know whether it was due to a guilty conscience and delusion, or because the monster breathed out, and his blood was greatly weakened, or because of other reasons, Lin Jue followed his cousin and felt strange shadows shaking in the forest from time to time.
If I had a hatchet at this time, it might give me some courage.
Fortunately, it was almost dawn. Not long after we walked, the sky started to glow. If we walked a little further, it would be dawn.
It felt much better after daybreak.
At the same time, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased.
There are not so many gatherings these days. If you want to buy something and sell anything, you have to go to the city. Many poor farmers in the countryside are carrying heavy burdens and carrying bamboo poles on their backs. They gradually come from various country roads and merge into the main road, just like streams converging into a
Like a river, it is quite shocking to see.
The road immediately seemed a lot more lively.
Once you become so popular, no matter in your heart or on the road, are there any demons left?
Gradually the city gate became visible.
"Give me the mountain bamboo shoots in your basket. I'll go to Tiandeng Lane to sell them first. You can go buy medicine. You are smarter. By the time you buy the medicine, I will have almost sold it out. We are in Luo
We meet on the street behind Xianmiao Mountain to watch the magic show. If we are late, we are afraid that people will leave the show. Even if the show doesn’t leave, we won’t be able to find a good seat.”
These mountain bamboo shoots were dug by this little cousin from all over the mountain. The bamboo shoots had not sprouted yet. They dug them out when there was only a small crack in the ground. They were tender enough. He was very happy with the sales of his mountain bamboo shoots.
Have confidence.
"good."
Lin Jue agreed.
As we walked along, we found that the city was much busier than usual, and the closer we got to Luoxian Temple, the more lively it became.
At the same time, there are also many accents from outsiders.
This kind of temple fair is held once a year, and there are big and small ones. The same temple fair is also said to be a big year and a small year. It is said that the influence of the largest temple fair can radiate to several state capitals. When it comes to the new year, businessmen from all over the country and the literati and leisure people who do good things come to advance in advance.
It will take half a month or more to come here to join in the fun.
The Luoxian Temple Fair is not too big, but relying on the prosperity of local merchants in recent years, it is not too small either.
It was still early in the morning, and many people had already taken up positions and set up stalls in various streets and alleys. Most of them had foreign accents. Even the police officers patrolling the city had their waistbands changed from iron rulers to sabers.
Lin Jue saw many people selling medicinal materials and wine.
After asking about the price, I didn’t stay too long. I just walked on the main road instead of going to the alleys. I quickly arrived at the time-honored Jishitang in the city. I used the price I asked before as a basis. In addition, I bought more, so the shopkeeper got a lot cheaper.
When Lin Jue walked out with the medicine on his back, it was much busier than before.
The streets are crowded with people, like a river.
The human voice was like a roaring cauldron, and every sound was pierced into the ears, and for a while nothing could be heard clearly.
Such excitement was rarely seen even in previous lives.
Lin Jue looked around, turned the small backpack over and carried it in front, and then tried to squeeze into the crowd.
Heading towards the Luoxian Temple, not far away, we saw a group of people gathered together. Standing on tiptoes, we could see an open space in the middle. Exclamations often came from there, as if they were performing magic tricks.
