Chapter 91 Harvest
Tao Ji quickly refused, "Mr. Sun, my senior brother told us before he left that we don't want the remaining one hundred taels, so let's leave it to you, Mr. Sun."
Pan Yun: …
She pulled Tao Ji away, and gently but firmly pushed the banknote back on his behalf, saying softly, "Mr. Sun, my elder brother meant that the little philanthropist's consultation fee of 100 taels is not a small amount, not to mention that we have a predestined relationship with Mr. Sun, so we sent him off, just for the sake of this good relationship."
When Sun Xianniang heard Pan Yun mention her father, she couldn't help crying. She became more determined and stuffed the banknote into Pan Yun's hand. She said firmly, "This money was not paid by the Zhou family. They have no right to interfere."
She said, "This is the money my mother paid. We agreed to give her another 100 taels after the deal is done. So that's 100 taels. We in the Sun family never break our promises."
Since she said so, Pan Jun had no choice but to accept it.
Of course, she didn't receive the money. She just gave it to Tao Ji. She couldn't touch any of it.
Tao Ji: ...
Tao Ji took the money, looked at the child sitting on the bed, and reminded her: "It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. During the hundred days, it's best to let the child move less, but less movement does not mean no movement. After the autumn harvest is over, I will teach her how to move her feet. When her wounds are scabbed, take her out to bask in the sun every morning and evening. It's not only good for the child's health, but also for her mood."
Sun Xianniang wrote them down one by one.
The two brothers and sisters then went home carrying two large baskets on their backs.
This was bought by Tao Ji and Mr. Zhou. They stuffed the herbs and luggage into a backpack and took them home.
As soon as they reached the mountain, Tao Ji reported to Wang Feiyin, and the Sun family still paid the remaining one hundred taels of silver.
"I said no, but Junior Sister refused for a while and then accepted it."
Wang Feiyin glanced at him and said, "Are you stupid? If someone insists on giving it to you, why don't you accept it?"
Tao Ji: "Didn't you say it was exempted?"
"I said no, but if they insist on giving it to you, you should take it. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing for others if you keep pushing it back and forth." Wang Feiyin said, "We are Taoist priests, helping people solve their problems. Since they insist on giving money, it is obvious that if they keep the money, it will be a trouble for them. We should take over the trouble."
Pan Yun passed by and said, "Yes!"
Wang Feiyin looked at her and praised her, "Junior sister has become more and more powerful. After being down the mountain for a few days, your cultivation has improved a lot."
Pan Yun: "Big Brother, can you give me fifty taels out of that one hundred taels?"
Wang Feiyin waved his hand generously and said, "Give it to me! Give it to me now!"
"No, no, no," Pan Yun said, "Let Third Senior Brother keep it. The materials I ordered for building the temple have all been delivered to the foot of the mountain. I want to choose a good day and a good place to build a temple for our master."
Wang Feiyin: "You still have to buy stones and pay for labor. Add up all the miscellaneous money, fifty taels won't be enough, right?"
Pan Yun: "Just build it first. I will make money eventually."
Wang Feiyin saw that she was much calmer after coming down the mountain this time, and her whole temperament was different. He couldn't help but look at Tao Ji.
Tao Ji looked back with confused eyes.
Wang Feiyin looked away, waved to Pan Yun and said, "Go and have a rest."
Pan Yun went there.
Wang Feiyin looked at Tao Ji, "What's going on, Junior Sister?"
Tao Ji said sadly: "After the senior brother left, the junior sister figured out a problem and had an epiphany. Yesterday she figured out another problem and had an epiphany."
Wang Feiyin was very curious, "What did she figure out?"
Tao Ji spread his hands, "I don't know. She said that the heavens are not watching, it's a rule. It's just such a confusing sentence, how can I understand it?"
Wang Feiyin murmured: "It's not the Way of Heaven, it's the rules. Rules, the rules set by the Way of Heaven. No, the Way of Heaven is the rules, and the rules are the Way of Heaven. It will not change for people. It treats all things equally. Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and they treat all things as straw dogs..."
"It's us. We are the ones who want to do good, so we attribute it to the Way of Heaven. That's not the Way of Heaven, it's people, it's people's will..."
The surrounding vital energy vibrated and swirled around Wang Feiyin.
Tao Ji opened his mouth wide as he watched his senior brother enter another realm. It was a long time before he closed his mouth and squatted on the steps resignedly to his fate to protect him.
As the sky gradually darkened, Miao He rushed out from the backyard and rushed to Tao Ji like a small cannonball. He opened his mouth wide and was about to shout, but Tao Ji covered his mouth with his hand, "Speak softly, can't you see that it's quiet now?"
When Miao He heard this, he covered his mouth and looked around, then said in a low voice: "Master, Master Uncle, it's time to eat. There will be meat tonight."
"Of course we have meat tonight, I bought the meat!" Tao Ji said, "Go and eat, and leave some for me and your master uncle."
Miao He looked at Wang Feiyin, who was standing there in a daze, curiously and asked, "Master, what is Master Uncle doing?"
"Big Brother is experiencing enlightenment," Tao Ji said, looking at Miao He and asking warmly, "Miao He, you have been practicing for many years, do you have any experience?"
Miao He's heart tightened, and he said seriously, "Yes, Master, what do you mean?"
"No matter what aspect, tell me about your recent experience."
"The most recent one?" Miao He thought for a moment and said, "Today, I learned the Nine Needles Rejuvenation Method from Master Uncle. I think it's easy to learn. We should speed up and learn the Twelve Needles tomorrow."
Tao Ji: "In terms of cultivation."
"Practice. Meditation at night is more comfortable than meditation in the morning. Master, let's move the morning class to the evening. I want to meditate for two hours at night."
"Then you can sleep an extra hour in the morning, and pretend to meditate at night, but actually go to sleep, right?" Tao Ji gave her a pat on the head, "Go back and eat!"
"Oh~" Miaohe turned and ran.
Tao Ji was tired, but he was the master, and he was not as good as his junior sister. He should not put pressure on his apprentice. Miaohe was still a child.
Miao He ran back to the backyard and sneezed twice in a row. Miao Zhen turned around and said, "One more sneeze."
Pan Yun: "This is probably someone talking about her, not that she is sick."
Tao Yanbai: "Who would mention Miaohe? You must be sick. I'll prescribe some medicine for you later."
Miao He pondered the aroma of the medicine, agreed immediately, and said excitedly: "Add more licorice."
Pan Yun and Miao Zhen looked at Xuan Miao together.
Xuanmiao looked at Tao Yanbai coldly.
Tao Yanbai's intention disappeared immediately, and he lowered his head and said, "Maybe Wang Xiaojing down the mountain missed you. If you were sick, you would have sneezed more than twice now. Come sit down and eat."
Miaohe was also afraid of Xuanmiao, so she said "oh" and sat down obediently.
Miao Zhen said: "Go down the mountain tomorrow and ask Wang Xiaojing and you will know."
Pan Yun paused while picking up the food, "Are you going down the mountain tomorrow?"
Miao Zhen said: "Not just us, but us! The rice in our Taoist temple has turned yellow and can be harvested."
Ah, she almost forgot about this. Their Sanqing Temple also has private property, although it is pitifully small.
Early the next morning, everyone in the Taoist temple, from Wang Feiyin to Pan Xiaohei, went down the mountain to collect food.
Wang Feiyin practiced well last night and was in great spirits today. He walked briskly, carrying a large backpack. He took a step forward and walked a long distance in a flash.
Mystery follows closely behind.
Pan Yun's cultivation has improved now, and his relationship with his master has become closer, so he can walk on the mountain road quite fast.
Tao Yanbai and Miaozhenmiaohe were in a headache. They used their Qinggong skills and even flew up high, they still couldn't catch up with them.
When Tao Ji saw the three kids chasing him until their foreheads were sweating, he thought the three people in front were so annoying.
He hummed, without any specific words, just a melodious tune.
Tao Yanbai and the other two listened and gradually slowed down. They calmed down and no longer thought about chasing the people in front.
Pan Jun, who was walking a long way away, heard it and slowed down his pace, walking slowly listening to the melodious tune.
The melody ended and time passed in a flash. Pan Yun realized that she and Miao Zhenmiao had walked to the foot of the mountain with them.
Wang Feiyin and Xuanmiao were only one step faster than them.
Wang Feiyin couldn't help but turn around and look at Tao Ji with a smile, "I said that Master loves Third Junior Brother the most, it turns out to be true."
Tao Ji blushed, turned around and bowed deeply toward the valley, then complained to Wang Feiyin, "Big Brother, you guys are walking too fast, there are still several little ones behind you."
Wang Feiyin: "I want to show my fourth and fifth junior sisters the results of my practice last night."
Wang Feiyin looked at Pan Yun and smiled, "Junior sister, thanks to you, I had a little enlightenment yesterday. After the autumn harvest, we will have a good discussion."
Pan Jun: "Okay."
There are three pieces of land in Sanqing Mountain, two of which are fields planted with rice, and one is dry land planted with soybeans. Wang Feiyin and his team harvested the crops some time ago and dried them and carried them back to the mountain.
Pan Yun successfully escaped.
But this time, there was no way to avoid the rice harvest.
This is in the mountains, and I don't know if it's because the temperature is lower than outside, or if they planted late before, their rice is only ripe now, while people outside are almost done with the autumn harvest.
There was still some shallow water in the field. Pan Yun saw it and asked, "Why didn't you release the water in advance?"
Tao Ji: "It has been released early, hurry up and harvest it. With the addition of you this year, we need to eat more food. Big Brother, I think we should plant a season of winter wheat this year."
Pan Yun: "The rice, flour, grain and oil in the temple were clearly bought..."
"That's because I bought it after I finished eating," Tao Ji said, "It wasn't enough to begin with, and with you, it's even less."
Wang Feiyin: "I want to plant too, but I'm afraid the soil isn't fertile enough."
Pan Yun didn't have much knowledge about planting, so he chose to remain silent.
Tao Ji said: "Just spread more fertilizer when the time comes."
Wang Feiyin glanced at Pan Yun, Miao Zhen and Miao He, and nodded with a smile, "Alright, the Tao formed the heaven and earth, and you can cultivate the land, maybe you can realize the Tao from the land."
Tao Ji took the opportunity to say, "Big Brother, let's open up another medicinal field on the mountain. There are many medicinal herbs in the mountain that are suitable for planting. We can grow some ourselves. There is no need to pick them in the wild all the time."
Wang Feiyin stroked his beard and nodded, "Okay, okay."
This is what it means to agree.
Miao He couldn't help whispering to Pan Yun and the other two, "My master really likes to grow things. I don't understand why."
"Miaohe," Tao Ji turned around, "come over here and start cutting from here."
Miaohe rolled up his trouser legs and walked forward silently.
