Chapter 118: The Temple of the God of Wealth
After Guangdan followed the others off the official road, he jumped directly off the unicycle.
Next is the road up the mountain. Most temples of the God of Wealth are on sunny hillsides. For those who run small businesses, this is much more popular than the temple of the land god.
After walking for about two quarters of an hour, Guangdan saw from afar a temple of the God of Wealth with smoke rising from it in the setting sun.
"Is there any place for us to stay here?" Lin Daniu wiped the sweat from his face and asked uncertainly.
The middle-aged man grinned and said, "I am the third child of the Qin family. You can just call me Qin Lao San. You may not know that there are two large empty houses behind the God of Wealth Temple, which are specially reserved for passers-by to stay overnight."
"Brother Qin San, how come there is such a good thing? I think this Temple of the God of Wealth is really nice!" Lin Xiaoniu looked at the Temple of the God of Wealth which was getting closer and closer, and asked curiously with a happy face.
"Hahaha, that's not true! Let me tell you, a few years ago there was a traveling merchant who stayed the night here, and guess what happened!"
Qin San didn't wait for everyone to react and immediately continued his words.
"As a result, I made a fortune in our county. Before I went back, I specially renovated the Temple of the God of Wealth!"
Guangdan listened and nodded in agreement. Not to mention at this time, even in the future, people usually had to go back to fulfill their wishes after their prayers in the temple were answered.
Therefore, the traveling merchant's actions were very consistent with the logic of a normal businessman.
Qin San led everyone around the side of the Temple of the God of Wealth and came to the back door.
"Just follow me! There may be a lot of people here now, so we have to grab a good spot early!" Qin San said as he pushed open the fence door and pulled his cart into the yard.
There were carts and wheelbarrows scattered around the yard, and most of the objects on them had been unloaded.
"There are so many people here!" Gouwei muttered softly as he followed behind.
Guangdan stretched his head to look into the house. Behind the Temple of the God of Wealth were two thatched-roof houses, and at this time, noisy voices were coming from inside.
"Say it to me again, old man!"
At this moment, a young man's angry voice was heard in the room, distracting Guangdan and his group from the Temple of the God of Wealth.
Seeing Guangdan sticking his head out as if he was ready to go into the house to watch the fun, Lin Xiaoniu walked over quickly and grabbed the curious boy.
"Let's not be curious if it's none of our business. Haven't you heard that curiosity kills the cat?"
Lin Xiaoniu whispered in Guangdan's ear, and these words instantly made Guangdan behave himself.
He put away his gossip-filled power, but his ears remained perked up.
Qin San found a place to park the cart, then walked directly into the room next to the sound.
After a moment he came out shaking his head.
"There's no space over there." After saying that, he sighed and walked slowly into the room where the quarrel was still going on.
In the end, the group of people had no choice but to choose the room where an old man and a young man were arguing fiercely.
Lin Daniu and Qin San chose the location directly at the door and piled the things directly at the door.
As soon as Guangdan entered the room, he noticed two people arguing.
The young man, oh, no, he can't even be considered a man, at most a teenager of nineteen or twenty years old, his clothes were full of patches, and he was as thin as a walking skeleton. Even Guangdan gasped when he saw him.
After all, he has been in this world for so long, how should I put it, he has seen miserable people, but this person is a little strange.
Although he looked miserable, he was quite energetic, with a gleam in his eyes, and he didn't look like he was wasted by life at all.
Oh, no, it was anger.
The old man next to him was even more ragged, and there was actually a sense of harmony between the two of them.
Guangdan held his small cloth bag in his pocket, took a straw mat from his eldest brother and spread it directly on the ground, then sat cross-legged with his head tilted, watching the battle situation with great curiosity.
"You old man, you cursed me as soon as I left the house!" The young man stiffened his neck and looked like he was going to fight me.
The old man slowly took out an old turtle shell from the rag bag beside him and put it on the ground to examine it carefully.
"Uncle, what is that for?" Guangdan felt that this was another new knowledge that he didn't know, so he immediately pulled Lin Xiaoniu's sleeve and asked in a low voice.
Lin Xiaoniu followed Guangdan's line of sight and gradually became serious.
"That's calculating good or bad luck. Remember, when you go out in the future, you must never mess with this kind of person." After saying that, he patted Guangdan's shoulder.
Guangdan's eyes immediately glowed green, and he asked excitedly, "Is he a Taoist priest who can tell fortunes?"
Lin Xiaoniu scratched the back of his head and said uncertainly: "That should be it?"
Guangdan simply ignored his uncle's uncertain look and stretched his head even further toward that direction.
"Old man! I'm talking to you!!" Seeing that the old man ignored him, the young man stood up directly.
At this time, everyone nearby was watching quietly, and Guangdan realized that there were quite a few people in the room!
"You are too violent and this will ruin your fortune. They say harmony brings wealth and there is some truth to this!" The old man said slowly and calmly.
"What do you want to do? Just carry your shell and live your life! Mind your own business, don't think I won't do anything just because you're old!"
Guangdan looked at the aggressive young man and felt a little confused. This person seemed to have a bad personality, but it seemed that he couldn't do anything to the old Taoist priest?
"Don't go east after you enter the city this time, or you will be in danger of bloodshed."
After the old man finished speaking, he put away his tortoise shell, closed his eyes and took a rest, completely ignoring the young man who was going crazy next to him.
The young man seemed to be aware of Guangdan's gaze. He turned his head, snorted coldly, and then rushed out the door.
Uh, Guangdan looked at the pile of things that the young man had placed on the ground and wondered if this person was also very careless.
Just go out like that? Don't you worry about others taking his things?
"Behave yourself!" Guangdan was still thinking about random things when he was slapped on the head by Lin Daniu.
"Dad, don't hit my head, it will make me stupid!" Guangdan held his head and seriously corrected his father's inappropriate behavior.
Lin Daniu doesn't beat his children, but he has a bad habit of patting them on the head.
"Come on, I've slapped Goudan on the head before, isn't he smart?" Lin Daniu retorted in time and then ignored Guangdan directly.
Guangdan saw that he couldn't control his old father's hands, so he continued to stare at the old man.
"Little guy, that was my only grandson just now."
The old man seemed to have noticed Guangdan's thoughts a long time ago. He turned his head, opened his eyes and explained with a smile.
Guangdan felt like someone had read his mind. He could not hold back the shock on his face. His eyes were wide open, as if he had seen a ghost.
