Chapter 322 Look at Me
"Although Dachun complains occasionally and says some unpleasant things, your mother-in-law treats you well. She knows your difficulties and helps you on weekdays. You are the boss at home and outside, and you can control Dachun. You may not be able to marry into such a good family again."
"Yes, you have a child here. Dachun will treat you better for the sake of the child."
"The men out there don't know the bottom of their hearts. If they knew these things, and you're a second marriage, I'm afraid they'd torture you even more."
"Dachun just feels bad and is angry at you. Please bear with me."
Zhou Wanniang dropped her clothes with a snap and said with a sullen face, "He feels bad about it, how can I feel good about it? I was the one who got hurt, not him. His wife was kidnapped right in front of him, but he went to grab her and risked his life!"
Everyone was silent and could only sigh.
After a while, someone said, "God damn that flower thief, curse him to have a rotten root and a bad face, and he will not die a good death."
"That's right, rotten roots and bad faces, they will not die well."
There was a sudden burst of curses by the river, all cursing Hua Bului.
Pan Yun was eavesdropping intently when suddenly a stone was thrown at him and he shouted, "Who is hiding there?"
Pan Yun quickly pulled Miaozhen up from the riverside and greeted them through a willow tree, "Hello, sisters."
Seeing that they were two young girls wearing Taoist robes, the young women looked much better. After looking them up and down, they waved and said, "You look a little unfamiliar. Which village are you from?"
Pan Yun clasped his fists and said, "I am Sanzhu, just passing by and came into the village to ask for a drink of water. I did not mean to eavesdrop on your conversation."
When Zhou Wanniang heard that they were just passing by, she became wary and stared at them, "You are so young, how did you come out by yourself without an elder to lead you?"
Miaozhen tried to find an excuse, but Pan Yun opened his mouth and said dejectedly, "Winter is here, and the temple is in trouble. Master said that we are old, so we can come out to support ourselves and go back next spring."
Miaozhen:......
The kind young women were filled with righteous indignation when they heard this. "Aren't you being driven out to beg for food? How can there be such a master? Where are your parents?"
Pan Jun lowered her head and said nothing, silently saying "I'm sorry" to her father in her heart.
Miaozhen lowered her head and said nothing. She really didn't know and she wasn't sorry.
The young women made up a lot of stories in their minds, and when they looked at the two people again, their eyes softened. Even Zhou Wanniang's expression softened and she took the initiative to say, "The water in this river is not clean. People wash clothes here and livestock drink water here. I have another piece of clothing. Wait, I will take you home to drink water after I finish washing it."
Pan Jun quickly agreed, then slipped up, rolled up his sleeves and started washing clothes for Zhou Wanniang.
Zhou Wanniang refused, picked up the clothes from the water, rubbed them, washed them twice, wrung them dry, threw them into the wooden basin, picked them up, and called the two people, "Come with me."
The others hadn't finished washing yet, so they could only wave goodbye to Zhou Wanniang. But before they left, they still gave some advice, "Wanniang, talk to Dachun slowly, don't be impulsive. We're not saying bad things about your brother, but people's hearts are different, so you should think twice before anything happens."
Zhou Wanniang agreed, but she didn't know how much she heard.
Pan Yun looked at her eyes carefully and felt that she had listened to him. However, her life in her husband's family must not be easy, as there was a sense of depression between her eyes.
Zhou Wan’s parents’ home is not far from the entrance of the village. Behind it are farmlands, and outside the wall is a vegetable field.
Pan Jun took a quick glance and felt that the vegetable garden did not seem to belong to one family, but rather to many families gathered together. It was quite large, probably about five or six acres. At a glance, it was full of various vegetables.
Zhou Wanniang pushed open the wooden gate, and the little kid who was playing with a stick in the yard saw her and immediately ran over with the stick. He rushed into Zhou Wanniang's arms, tilted his little head and kept shouting, "Mom, Mom..."
Zhou Wanniang smiled, put down the basin, picked up her son, and said to Pan Yun, "Wait a minute, I'll go get you some water."
The child lay on his mother's shoulders and looked at them with curiosity.
When Pan Jun met his gaze, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, then she used her martial arts skills and looked at him with her talent.
Miao Zhen also moved her fingers slightly, pinched her fingers, and used her divine eyes to take a look at his face. She also raised her eyebrows, "This person is much more talented than Qu Le."
Pan Yun nodded.
Miao Zhen: "Little Master, if you really want to accept a disciple for my master, why not accept him."
She said, "You should also give my master a good one."
Pan Yun: "I want to make money, not raise a child, I won't take it!"
She lowered her voice and said, "Besides, this child's future is not in monasticism, but in the officialdom."
The more Pan Yun watched, the more determined he became. "I'll take care of this matter. I'll definitely catch that idiot Hua Buliu!"
Zhou Wanniang brought out two bowls and handed them to Pan Yun and Miaozhen.
The two looked down and saw that it was not water, but porridge.
Zhou Wanniang urged, "Eat quickly, and then go to the city. You can't survive by begging in the village. Go to the city while it's still early. It's very dangerous outside the city at night."
Pan Yun and Miao Zhen agreed, took the bowls and drank all the porridge.
There were a few grains of rice stuck to the wall of the bowl, so Pan Yun and Miao Zhen licked them carefully. Just as they were licking them enthusiastically, a woman in her forties or fifties came back from outside carrying a load on her shoulder. She was stunned when she saw them.
Zhou Wanniang quickly explained, "Mother, these are two young masters who came to beg for alms."
"Begging for alms," the grandmother looked at Pan Yun and Miao Zhen and saw that they had rosy faces and did not look like monks or nuns begging for alms at all, but they were indeed wearing Taoist robes and were young. The grandmother could not help but soften her heart, and after thinking for a while, she said to Zhou Wan Niang, "Give them two bowls of rice and send them out."
Zhou Wanniang agreed and immediately went back to the house to get some rice.
Pan Yun and Miao Zhen were both stunned.
Although Wang Feiyin said every year that life was difficult, he never asked them to go down the mountain to beg for alms, so they were not prepared.
The two people's minds were racing. Pan Jun's mind and hands were quick. She quickly opened the cloth bag containing dry food in the spiritual space and took out the empty bag.
Zhou Wanniang put two bowls of rice into their cloth bags. Pan Yun and Miao Zhen quickly pinched their hands and chanted, "May the Heavenly Lord bless you with infinite happiness and may the Taoist Lord bless you with peace, health, and success in everything."
Zhou Wanniang responded and was about to send them away.
Pan Yun looked past her at the child sitting on the doorstep, and said to Zhou Wanniang and her mother-in-law, "Good people, you are great good people. God will bring blessings to your family."
Zhou Wanniang couldn't help but sneer, "What blessings do we have in our family?"
"Why not?" Pan Yun said with a smile, "A kind person is a virtuous person, so a kind person was born."
She pointed at the child and said, "This is the reincarnation of a great Taoist. He will have a bright future. Kind people should raise him well and send him to school. He will definitely benefit the people in the future."
Zhou Wanniang frowned, looking unconvinced, but her mother-in-law believed her, so she hurried forward and asked anxiously, "Is what the young master said true?"
Pan Yun smiled and said, "Of course, all the disasters of the past will disappear. Those who do evil will be punished, and those who are kind will be blessed."
"The good old man and the good man are both great good people. God specially sent a little good person to live in your family for the sake of the two of you."
The mother-in-law couldn't help but cross her fingers and chant: "Blessings to the infinite heavenly master, blessings to the infinite heavenly master..."
Zhou Wanniang frowned and said, "Little Taoist priest, my family has no money."
Pan Yun shook his head slightly and said, "This is the blessing of a good person, and it has nothing to do with me."
She touched Zhou Wanniang's forehead with her finger and chuckled, "But I do have a connection with the good man. Since you gave me two bowls of rice, I am willing to help you with your wish."
Zhou Wanniang felt her mind suddenly clear up, not only did she feel refreshed, but also a coolness seemed to arise in her chest and abdomen. The anxiety and anger she had been feeling for half a year suddenly cleared away, and her body did not feel so uncomfortable anymore.
Zhou Wanniang looked at Pan Yun with a fiery look in her eyes. She grabbed Pan Yun's hand and asked anxiously, "Is what the Taoist said true? Can you fulfill my wish?"
Pan Yun said: "Give me some clues or things about him, and I promise to put an end to it."
Zhou Wanniang lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded solemnly, "Please wait."
After saying that, she turned and went to her mother-in-law's room.
The mother-in-law opened her mouth but didn't stop it.
Zhou Wanniang quickly took out a bundle and opened it to show Pan Yun, "This is the clothes I wore that day, and this..."
She opened a handkerchief, and inside was a small tuft of hair. Zhou Wanniang's face turned pale as she said, "I pulled this off his head."
She looked at Pan Yun with a sharp gaze, "Little Taoist priest, do you know what I'm talking about?"
Pan Yun took the handkerchief with a stern expression, "Of course I know, don't worry, my dear. No matter where I am, I will definitely catch him and fulfill your wish."
Zhou Wanniang handed her the bundle and the handkerchief.
Pan Yun took the things and left.
The mother-in-law stood beside Zhou Wanniang, hesitating to speak, "Wanniang, did you trust them so much that you gave that thing away? When the government came to investigate, you didn't give it to them."
Zhou Wanniang said expressionlessly, "Didn't you hear what those yamen runners said? That rapist has harmed several women, but he has never been caught, so what difference does it make whether we give those things to them or not?"
"Don't you believe them, too?"
Mother-in-law: "...I believe what they say that our child is the reincarnation of a good person, not... Never mind, never mind, the things have been given away. I see that their faces are rosy, and they really don't look like Taoist priests who come out to beg for alms. Maybe they really have some ability."
Zhou Wanniang reached out and touched her forehead and said, "I believe them."
It must not have been her illusion just now, so it is possible that they really came to help her.
Pan Yun packed up the bag and handkerchief and threw them directly into the spiritual space. Just as he was about to leave the village, he heard a commotion not far away.
Pan Yun immediately pulled Miao Zhen to watch the fun, and they saw Qu Le kicking a villager away, while the villagers' faces turned red, and they were waving their hoes and shovels in anger to hit Qu Le.
Qu Le was obviously very angry. He dodged left and right, but his anger was aroused. He drew out the sword in his hand with a sound...
Pan Jun frowned, threw Pan Xiaohei into Miaozhen's arms, jumped into the circle, and kicked Qu Le and his sword away with one foot, "Thief, you are here, look at my shadowless kick!"
good night
