Chapter 299 Tao Family
The medicine cauldron landed beside a low hill. Pan Yun's hat was blown away halfway and she quickly caught it in her hands. At this time, she had a bald head, a red nose, and a face that was also blown red by the cold wind. She didn't look like a Taoist priest, but more like a nun, and a nun who was abandoned halfway.

Wang Cong turned his head and saw his junior master uncle in such a miserable state. He couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Pan Yun couldn't see her own appearance, but she could see Wang Cong's appearance. Seeing that his hair covered half of his face and he looked like a madman, she burst into laughter.

Miaozhen and Miaohe were also laughing with their hands on their stomachs. They were laughing so happily that Pan Jun's smile suddenly fell.

She is laughing at them, who are they laughing at?
Wang Cong and the other two also touched their heads belatedly and looked at the other three. Very good, the boss should not say anything about the second in command, they should respect each other.

The four of them put away their smiles and tidied their appearance.

But this was indeed a very special experience, so by the end the four of them couldn't help but laugh at each other for a long time.

Wang Cong said: "Next time you fly, you should tie your hair up properly. It would be even better if you can cover your head and face."

Pan Jun tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "I know how to wrap it up, but it won't look good after it's wrapped up, and it's a bit scary."

Miaohe: "How scary is it?"

Pan Yun: "Looks like a robber."

Miao Zhen: "What's the big deal about flying in the sky? Who can see us?"

Pan Jun hesitated for a moment and nodded, "That makes sense. I'll make it for you when I get back. It just so happens that Senior Brother is watching me sew every day, so I have a lot of time to do needlework."

That head cover suits her even better. She has no hair, and when she puts it on, her eyes, nose and mouth are exposed. The wind can't blow her away, and it can also keep her warm. It's perfect!

The three of them thought of Pan Yun's uneven and rugged stitches, and all remained silent.

Wang Cong changed the subject and said, "Master Junior, it's almost dawn, let's go into the village."

The sky was white, just like the white circle on the belly of a turned-over fish. Just as Pan Jun looked up to appreciate the white, suddenly a faint golden light was reflected on the white. It was like a switch was turned on, and a faint golden color continued to appear on the sky...

It slowly darkened, and soon the light gold turned into golden red, and then into orange-red, and the sun came out.

Pan Yun put away the medicine cauldron, waved towards the village not far away, and said, "Let's go!"

The four of them walked forward towards the rising sun. When they reached the entrance of the village, the rising sun was already spread on the ground in patches, shining on the four people's faces, making them seem as if they were covered with a layer of light.

The sounds of life could be heard in the village, the clatter of pots and pans, the sound of brooms sweeping the ground, and the sound of children being scolded.

Fortunately, no matter what the sound was, it was not fierce, so Pan Yun and the others listened with great interest until Wang Cong led them to a door.

From across the yard, they could hear the sound of pots being smashed and people being cursed. "Every day you wait for me to cook. If I don't cook, will everyone stop eating?"

"I don't do anything. I just wander around the streets every day. I eat when I'm hungry and sleep when I'm tired. This is not a home. It's clearly a hotel, and it's free."

"You are treating yourself like a high-ranking official. This is an inn. You can stay and eat for free."

Pan Yun couldn't help but stand on tiptoe to look inside the wall.

The wall was not very high, and the four of them could easily see the scene inside.

Tao Yanbai said nothing, walked forward to take the pot and washed the rice, put it back in the kitchen, and then came out to get firewood.

When the woman saw him carrying so much firewood, she slapped him on the arm and said, "You are going to die. You carry so much firewood just to cook porridge. It's not hard to pick up firewood. You don't feel bad for picking it up, right?"

The little girl at the side couldn't bear to see it and said, "Mom, this is not enough to cook the porridge. Usually my second brother and I have to carry it twice."

"Shut up, what's this got to do with you? Go get some pig food. If you can't get two baskets of pig food today, you won't be allowed to eat!"

"If you don't want to eat, then don't eat." The little girl threw her braided hair back and picked up two large baskets. "Even if you don't allow me to say it, I have to say it. Mother, lock the cabinet where the grain bags are placed. No one can get the rice except you. Even if my eldest brother wants to cook, there is no rice to cook."

Tao's mother was so angry that she pulled a piece of firewood from Tao Yanbai's hand and was about to hit her. Tao Yanbai quickly grabbed the firewood and glanced at the little girl.

The little girl steadied the two baskets with her hands and ran out. As she ran, she turned back and shouted to the middle-aged man sitting on the porch twisting hemp ropes: "Dad, please take care of mom. She is helping mom when she encounters injustice on the road. Our road is full of potholes, so you should fill them up."

"What nonsense are you talking about, you stupid girl?" Tao's mother yelled angrily, "Stop right there. You are making up stories about your parents like this. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

Tao Yanbai frowned, tightly grasped the firewood to prevent her from pulling it away, and said unhappily: "Mom, Xiaohua is your biological daughter, how can you curse her like that?"

Tao Hua turned around and said, "I'm used to it. I would be uncomfortable if my mother didn't curse me for a day."

After that, he opened the door and saw the person standing in front of the door. Tao Hua was stunned, "Who are you looking for?"

The noisy family immediately turned around to look.

When Tao's father and mother recognized Wang Cong, they started to panic and felt a little guilty.

Tao Yanbai's eyes lit up when he saw them. He dropped the firewood in his arms and rushed over, "Big Brother, Little Uncle, Fourth Sister, Fifth Sister, why are you here?" Wang Cong saw tears in his eyes and knew that he had been wronged here during this period of time. He felt bitter in his heart, and he raised his hand to pat his head, suppressing his anger and said, "Third Uncle is back. He is injured and needs someone to take care of him. Uncle Master asked me to take you back."

Father Tao quickly put down the half-twisted hemp rope in his hand and asked with concern: "Sanlang is injured? Is it serious?"

Wang Cong nodded seriously, "That's why I want Third Junior Brother to go back and take care of you."

Father Tao looked at his wife with hesitation.

Tao's mother asked, "He has just returned for a few months and he has to leave again. Is this son raised by your Sanqing Temple or by our Tao family?"

"If this continues, I don't think there's any need to come back..."

Tao's father immediately scolded him: "Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about? This is my son!"

He smiled at Wang Cong sheepishly and explained, "His mother never sees her child. She thinks about him and says things that are not nice, but she loves him very much in her heart."

He sighed, "This time Yanbai is back, practicing medicine in the streets. I think his medical skills have improved a lot. Sanlang also said that he can become a master. I was thinking of finding him a medicine shop in the town to work in. It would be easier to find a marriage if he has a livelihood. Now he is gone, and I have wasted my time. The medicine shop in the town can't wait. If I wait for him to come back, I'm afraid..."

Wang Cong did not show any embarrassment, and said thoughtfully: "Third Junior Brother's future is indeed important. If it were in the past, I would definitely not delay him, but this time Third Junior Uncle was injured and kept talking about wanting to see Third Junior Brother. Good people also know that Third Junior Brother has lived with Third Junior Uncle since he was seven years old."

"Although we have the same master, he travels all over the country and is never in the Taoist temple. Third Junior Brother is just a nominal disciple of the master. It is Third Senior Uncle who takes care of him as his own disciple. He learned all his skills from Third Senior Uncle. Now Third Senior Uncle is injured and only cares about Third Junior Brother..."

Tao Yanbai's face turned pale, and he tightly grasped Wang Cong's arm. "Is Third Master injured seriously? Where is he injured?"

Wang Cong sighed and said, "It's an internal injury."

Pan Jun on the side sighed deeply.

Miaozhen and Miaohe also sighed.

Tao Yanbai, who was originally extremely nervous, stiffened when he saw this, and his heart suddenly calmed down. However, he was really scared the moment before, and his emotions were fluctuating, so when he relaxed, he couldn't control his tears.

Seeing her elder brother crying like this, Tao Hua put down her carrying pole and said to her father, "Dad, what are you waiting for? Let your elder brother go with them. Your elder brother was raised by your third uncle. If he doesn't go to show his filial piety, the villagers will spit on us and our family will be drowned."

Father Tao blushed and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't say I didn't agree. I just wanted to express my concern. Yanbai, since your Third Uncle is waiting for you, you should get ready to go back with your Senior Brother."

Tao Yanbai raised his sleeve to wipe the tears from his face and hurried back to the house to pack his luggage.

Mother Tao's chest was heaving, and she was obviously very angry. She followed him into the house and said, "You are in such a hurry, why are you still collecting things? Aren't there clothes in the Taoist temple? Take the household registration pass and leave quickly. Don't delay."

Tao Yanbai turned a deaf ear and continued to pack his clothes, books and other sundries he brought into the backpack.

Tao Yanbai looked at her with embarrassment, "Mom, please go out first. I'll change my clothes."

"Why change clothes? It's urgent. Hurry up and leave." Mother Tao stared at the backpack closely. She knew that there was nothing in it that she wanted. The thing was still in the room, so she reached out to push Tao Yanbai, "Go quickly, go quickly, don't let your uncle wait anxiously."

Tao Yanbai grabbed the backpack, looking embarrassed. Hesitantly, he was pushed by her and took two steps out. Before he reached the door, Pan Jun walked in leisurely, followed by Miaozhen and Miaohe.

Pan Jun looked around curiously, with a look of disgust on his face, "Yanbai, this is the room you live in, why does it look like a cowshed?"

Pan Yun turned around and blinked when he saw the muddy ground and a wooden stake on the other half of the house.

"Wait a moment." Pan Yun turned and walked out of the room, looking up and down the room again.

It is the east wing, and the room next to it on the north is a storage room, which is filled with plows, hoes, wooden barrels and other miscellaneous things.

Directly opposite is the kitchen.

There is a large yard in the middle, and opposite this room is a chicken coop, so this one...

Pan Jun looked up and down at the gatehouse. Damn, it's a cowshed!

Pan Jun still had a smile on his face, but there was a chill in his expression.

Both Mother Tao and Father Tao felt a chill and shivered.

Miaozhenmiaohe was full of anger, and her little face was cold and stern.

Pan Yun walked back into the room and said to the mother and son who had suddenly quieted down, "What are you standing there for? Keep pulling."

Mother Tao frowned slightly, "Little Taoist priest, this is a man's bedroom, how can you come in and out as you please?"

Pan Yun: "Isn't this a cowshed? Are there separate places for men and women in the cowshed?"
