Chapter 271 Ten Years of Arrangements (make up for yesterday's)
Pan Yun swallowed, clapped his hands quietly, and said in a low voice: "Then I will take it. Is Senior Brother Zhang willing to give it to me?"
"I'll write you a handwritten letter, and he'll give it to you."
Pan Yunchong gave Xuanmiao a thumbs up.
After giving Chen Xiucai an injection and injecting him with medicine, Tao Ji came over and said casually, "Take more. There are many things in there that your senior sister brought back. If you don't take them, they will be given away to others in the future."
Pan Yun immediately said, "I'll get it when I get back."
The three martial arts secret manuals were copied by her for her two brothers, but they were valuable, so she thought of finding an escort company to deliver them after leaving Longhu Mountain, as it would not be convenient to send them through the private post office or the post station.
When she copied it, she memorized all the martial arts moves.
People who practice Taoism still have this ability. She can recite it again, but there are still many good martial arts secrets in the library of Fanxiyuan. If she doesn’t need to copy them, then she can send more things to her brothers...
Pan Jun laughed foolishly.
People from Huaihua Village arrived soon.
The people who came were an old man, a middle-aged man and a young man, a total of three generations.
Chen Xiucai is the leader of Shuangyang Village. Although he is ill, he still manages to get through it.
Everyone sat together in the yard, and Chen Xiucai introduced them, mainly the people in Huaihua Village.
After introducing them, his eyes slid from Xuan Miao and Tao Ji to Pan Yun.
This surprised Pan Yun a little. In front of Xuan Miao and Tao Ji, no one would think that she was the one in charge.
Xuanmiao and Tao Ji did not interrupt.
Pan Yun raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I am Pan Yun from Sanqing Mountain. This is my senior sister Xuanmiao, this is my senior brother Tao Ji, and these are my two nephews, Miaozhen and Miaohe."
When Liu You, an old man from Huaihua Village, heard this, he first quickly glanced at Chen Xiucai, then bowed solemnly to Pan Yun and said, "So you are the high priests from Sanqing Mountain. The Taoist priests are so kind. We would like to thank you on behalf of the villagers of Huaihua Village."
Pan Yun bowed slightly and said, "I am honored to meet Taoist Sanzhu. I heard about Shuangyang Village and Huaihua Village before I came here. I know you want to erect a monument for her. I feel guilty and asked me to come and apologize. The bandits we are suppressing this time are not the Japanese pirates who massacred the village, so..."
Chen Xiucai smiled bitterly, "No wonder the young Taoist priest said he was Taoist priest Sanzhu when he first arrived. It turns out he was entrusted by someone."
He glanced at the others and said, "No matter whether the people that Taoist Sanzhu is fighting this time are Japanese pirates who massacred the village, they are all Japanese pirates and pirates, so this monument is worth erecting."
"In the future, when we fight against the Japanese invaders, we will not only kill those who massacred the village, but also kill all the bandits."
Liu You and others also nodded quickly, "Yes, yes."
"Little Taoist priest, this monument is not only for Taoist priest Sanzhu, but also for the children, so that they know that there is a great hero who kills pirates and bandits and is respected. In the future, they will also kill pirates and Japanese pirates, not only for revenge, but also for justice like Taoist priest Sanzhu."
Chen Xiucai nodded, "Only hatred, too painful. Taoist priests and knights joined forces to suppress the bandits this time, is it because those pirates have a grudge against you?"
"It's not because of hatred, but because you have a chivalrous heart," Chen Xiucai said in a deep voice, "I hope the children of the two villages will also have this heart in the future."
Chen Xiucai looked depressed. "Revenge is too far away. There are only 35 children who survived from the two villages. How many Japanese pirates were there who massacred the villages?"
"You can't kill them all or take revenge by relying on them," Chen Xiucai said softly, "Besides, whether you want revenge or let go of hatred, you have to stay alive first and live your life."
Chen Xiucai clenched his hands, "But life must go on. We must not forget the hatred of the extermination of our family and the massacre of our village. We must not forget the chivalrous hearts of Taoist Sanzhu and you all, so we should erect a monument to commemorate them."
"This monument is not only for Taoist Sanzhu, but also for the descendants of Shuangyang Village and Huaihua Village."
If this generation cannot avenge itself, then the next generation will do it, and the next generation will do it!
Chen Xiucai wanted to record it on the tombstone so that every child could watch it grow and take revenge after it grew into a towering tree.
Of course, Chen Xiucai didn't say it out loud. He buried his hatred and the flames of revenge in his heart. He showed Pan Yun a gentle smile and said softly, "Thank you, Taoist Pan, for making this trip for Taoist Sanzhu and bringing us so many things."
Pan Jun looked at him quietly, looking straight into his eyes, as if she was looking into his heart.
Chen Xiucai looked away guiltily, afraid that she would discover the fire of revenge deep in his heart.
After he looked away, Pan Yun said, "Mr. Chen is right. Revenge is a matter for the future. The most urgent thing is to stay alive."
She took out a list and said, "I heard that both villages were looted and you don't even have food and clothing for the winter."
The villagers of the two villages all lowered their heads. Liu Gui from Huaihua Village whispered, "The villagers sent some food. Our village has enough food for the next month. Relatives also sent some quilts and old clothes. Together with the things we found in the village that can still be used, we will have no problem getting through the winter, but..."
He paused and said, "We still haven't found food for next month to next May. We don't even have any grain seeds."
"Our village is better off. At least there are adults taking care of the children. The remaining children can be raised by the villagers. But in Shuangyang Village..." Liu Gui looked at Chen Xiucai, "There are only a few adults in your village. Can you raise so many children?"
Pan Jun heard something and raised his eyebrows and asked, "So what do you mean?"
Liu Gui: "Let's merge the villages."
"I don't agree!" The older child who was hiding at the gate and listening immediately ran in and shouted, "I don't want to sell our village. I don't want to leave here. My family is here. I won't leave!"
With red eyes, he looked at Chen Xiucai expectantly, "Chen Xiucai, please say something, we are not going to Huaihua Village, we are not going!"
Chen Xiucai said calmly, "I also think it's better to separate them. It's easy to merge the two villages. The two villages are not far apart. We can build a road in the middle. It only takes a quarter of an hour and it will be the same as one village." Liu You sighed, "How are you going to raise so many children? If you don't sell your house and land, I'm afraid you won't even be able to survive this winter."
Pan Yun raised his hand and said, "I have money. I brought food and cotton cloth."
Liu You sighed, "Little Taoist priest, it is better to rely on yourself than on others. You can help us temporarily, but can you help us forever?"
"That makes sense, so I also brought money." Pan Yun stretched out his hands to both sides.
Miaozhenmiao and Miaodong returned all the money she had "lent" to them.
Pan Yun took out another box, put the three sums of money together and said, "This is 1,800 taels. Originally, there were 2,000 taels, but I used 200 taels to buy these things, so there are only this much left."
Everyone looked at her in surprise as she slapped the banknotes on the stool.
Ah, is money so worthless now?
Pan Yun said: "Thirty-five children, each child gets three dan of rice per year..."
Liu You came back to his senses from his surprise and quickly shook his hand and said, "You don't need so much, you don't need so much. Just drink some porridge and you'll be fine. One stone a year will keep you alive."
Pan Yun waved his hand and said, "If you want to take revenge, you have to practice martial arts and study. You can't starve yourself. Three dan of rice a year is essential. I don't even count the vegetables. Their own labor can also count."
"According to the current rice price, each person costs 900 wen per year. Meat and eggs cost 300 wen per person per year. As for clothes, three years of new and three years of old. You can sew and mend them for a few years. The most important expenses are martial arts training and reading. For this item, I estimate that the annual expenses for each of you children are three taels of silver, which adds up to four taels and two hundred wen. In addition to medical expenses, the annual expenses for each child are five taels. Mr. Chen, am I too stingy?"
Chen Xiucai said: "Excluding the tuition and some large expenses, if you are frugal, five taels is indeed enough."
Studying and practicing martial arts will cost a lot, but studying has its own advantages, and practicing martial arts...
He looked at Pan Yun.
Pan Yun said: "I will ask my senior sister to hire a martial arts master for you for a few years. He will teach you the basic skills, and then you can practice on your own and I will give you the secret manual."
Chen Xiucai said, "Thank you, Taoist Priest Pan."
"Five taels per person, thirty-five people a year is one hundred and seventy-five taels. After ten years, I think they can support their families, right?"
Chen Xiucai stood up and bowed deeply, "We will never forget your kindness in giving us a new life. If you need us in the future, just tell us. We will not hesitate to sacrifice our lives for you."
Liu You and the others understood what the two meant and opened their mouths in shock.
She has to raise the children of two villages for ten years.
They immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Pan Yun.
Pan Yun quickly reached out to support them, not letting them kneel down, and said softly, "You don't have to do this."
Liu You asked: "Why is the young Taoist priest willing to give so much for us?"
Pan Yun was not good at handling this kind of thing, so he simply said, "This was not my intention. I was asked to do this by Taoist Sanzhu. She feels guilty. If you want to thank someone, thank her. Oh, and Four Waters and Five Fires."
Miaozhen and Miaohe raised their heads and looked at Pan Jun with a confused look on their faces.
Pan Yun winked at them.
Anyway, this is their account, God recognizes it, and facts have proved that gaining merit points is useful, so just gain more merit points.
Especially before they overcome the tribulation.
When the villagers heard this, they were even more grateful to Taoist Sanzhu, but Pan Yun held them back and stopped them from kneeling. So they clasped their fists and bowed to each other, and asked Pan Yun, "Where is Taoist Sanzhu now?"
Pan Yun: "North?"
Everyone bowed towards the north.
The village women also made the children kneel down and kowtow towards the north.
The children were very obedient and they knelt down and kowtowed.
Ding dong, ding dong...
Pan Jun heard a series of ding-dong sounds from the spiritual realm. Pan Xiaohei couldn't help but open the formation broadcast for her. She received a +10 merit from Liu You and a +10 merit from XXX...
+10+10+10...
A series of +10, if Pan Yun hadn't had the wooden sign hanging on her waist, she would have glowed on the spot.
Pan Jun was intoxicated for a while, then asked Lingjing to continue to turn off the broadcast, and then said seriously: "I thank you all on behalf of Taoist Sanzhu. Come, let's discuss how to use this money and who will be in charge of it..."
Chen Xiucai withdrew his gaze from her face, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and said directly: "I want to manage this money by myself, and select six people to supervise it, three from Huaihua Village and three from Shuangyang Village."
Pan Yun likes people who are quick and decisive and who put forward their ideas directly. It saves a lot of time.
good night
