Chapter 220: The Hero and the Official The colorful beaver has the instinct of a cat. When it arrives in a new environment, it habitually walks around the rooms, sniffing here and there. Fuyao quietly hid behind the door, and when the beast came out of a room, she suddenly jumped out, scaring it so much that it flew away. A cat and a fox then started chasing each other. The two Taoists were pacing around the room and talking. "I see a family on the mountain over there seems to have planted a bamboo forest. Let's find a time to buy some bamboo from them and weave it into a fence. We can also dig up a few small bamboos and plant them here." Lin Jue said, "Then we will have a yard here. Having a yard will make it more comfortable to look at." "Yes!" The junior sister was walking beside him, and when she saw him looking around, she followed him and looked around. Indeed, having a yard, even if it is surrounded by a fence and even if nothing is planted in it, will make you feel much more comfortable. "Brother, what do you want to raise and plant?"

"We can only live here until next spring at best. We may have to go back to visit our second brother in the meantime. There's no need to raise chickens and ducks, but we can open up a vegetable patch and grow some seasonal vegetables." "We can buy two old hens to lay eggs. I'll give one to you and one to me. Fuyao and Xiaohua can eat the egg yolks!" said the little sister. "We can kill them and eat them when we leave!" "good idea!" When the junior sister saw his approval, her eyes immediately lit up. “And greens.” Lin Jue walked to the far right hut, changed direction, and continued walking: "Although the weather is getting colder, there are still many vegetables that can be grown in winter, such as peas. You can pick the pea tips to cook dishes and soups, which are delicious. You can also grow some white radishes, carrots, chrysanthemums, spinach, cabbage, celery, and some green onions, garlic sprouts, and my favorite cilantro." The junior sister looked like she was listening to a class and learning magic. Her expression was serious and her eyes were shining. When she heard something wonderful, she nodded secretly. Not only did he say so on the surface, but he had actually taken note of it in his heart, and at the same time was calculating when to start doing it and what to start with. The senior brother is responsible for speaking and she is responsible for doing. This division of labor is just right. I heard that the Taoist temple outside the capital is also on the mountain, very remote, so I can practice it first. "I wonder if there are any wild fruit trees on the mountain. If there are, we can transplant one here." Lin Jue said, "We can enjoy the flowers in spring and take advantage of the coolness in mid-spring, and leave the fruits to them." “Can you plant trees in winter?” “Winter is not suitable for planting, but it is suitable for transplanting.” "I see." The little sister nodded repeatedly but started to think, "Brother, what kind of fruit can be ripe all year round?" "How can a fruit tree ripen all year round? Some ripen in summer, some ripen in autumn, and some ripen in winter." "..." The junior sister pondered over his words and asked, "What kind of fruit matures in winter?" "Winter dates, persimmons."

"right……" The junior sister nodded repeatedly and took notes carefully. "Brother, give me a piece of paper later." "what are you up to?" "I'm going to make a list and write it down." "can." "Oh, by the way, we also need to make a stone table and stone bench." The little sister thought again, "After we leave, we will leave it to their family." "rational." "rational!" The two discussed their aspirations and planned to decorate the huts to their liking and then live here until next spring. There is a strange charm in such things— It is a plan for your future and a yearning for a better day. Even if you haven't started yet and haven't seen any results, just thinking about it will still make you feel happy and satisfied in your heart. "Of course, Junior Sister, you and I should still focus on cultivation." "I know!" Only the fox and the cat didn't care about all this. They just knew that they would live here today and tomorrow, so they chased and played freely in the yard without any worries. In the next few days, the two of them followed the plan. Lin Jue's "Turning Stone into a General" skill remained at the entry level, just at the level of being able to "move sand and rocks", so he summoned stones from the ground, and the junior sister carefully molded them into a stone table and stone bench. In the afternoon, Lin Jue carved bean soldiers while his junior sister practiced mountain pressing. At dusk, the two of them, the fox and the cat were all practicing in the courtyard. In the evening, the waiter brought them some more bowls and chopsticks. Still sitting cross-legged in the yard in the early morning, they opened their eyes and looked at each other. Then they got up at the same time and went to the village market to buy some steamed cakes to fill their stomachs. They also bought five cushions and some rice, flour and rapeseed. It was noon when they got back. It was inconvenient to practice Xiao Yin Yang Fa at noon, so he went to the opposite mountain to buy some bamboos, and dragged them back with the donkey. Even the fox and the cat could not escape. The two Taoists also tied some thin bamboos to their backs and carried them back shakily. In the afternoon, the junior sister was turning the soil in the yard and burning the insects with fire, while Lin Jue was splitting bamboo to weave a fence nearby. The fox and the civet cat took turns disturbing them. As soon as it got dark, four cushions were placed in the yard. Two Taoists, a fox and a cat all sat on the cushions and practiced diligently. The next day he went to the mountains to look for a peach tree. The fox dug a nest, the junior sister sowed seeds, the colorful cat followed behind and covered the soil, and Lin Jue used the water control method to water it thoroughly. Lin Jue chanted a spell to tease the fox, while his junior sister danced with a sword. A few days later. When the innkeeper came here again, he couldn't help but be shocked -

The hut is still the same hut, but it has changed a lot. Not only was there a new fenced yard, but a vegetable plot was also created and a fruit tree was planted. There were also stone tables and stone benches under the tree. They were well-made and looked as if they had been made by an experienced craftsman with profound skills. But I had no idea where these two gods had gotten these things from since they had only been here for a few days. What surprised him most was that at this time of year, the fence outside, made of bamboo and branches, was actually covered with tiny flowers. If you didn't know it was late autumn, you would have thought it was spring. It was really like a fairy... The guy thought so. "Taoist Priest!" "Please come in." "Knowing that the Taoist priest needs to eat grains, I specially caught an old hen from my home for the immortal." The waiter walked in, holding up the hen in his hand. "Too polite!" "The Taoist priest has supernatural powers, and he has helped the people of Runze County get rid of the monsters. This is what I should do." "Don't say that." Lin Jue said to him: "In the past few days, we have made some additions to your new house. Please take a look. If there is anything you don't like, we will remove it immediately. If you need to add anything else, please tell us. While we are still living here, we will think of a solution for you." "I like it, I like it very much!" The waiter said this with a flushed face. He stood in the yard and looked around. His expression paused, but he said to him, "By the way, a big thing happened in the city these two days!" "Oh? What's the matter?" "Now everyone says that the Green Narcissus is a monster. I heard that the temple keeper was planning to escape from here and flee to the capital. However, he had packed his things and rented a carriage and a driver, but one night he was killed by someone unknown." The waiter stood there and said to him with wide eyes, "I heard from people who saw it that he was cut in half with a single knife, his head fell off, and all the property in his house was taken away." "I see." Lin Jue's expression did not show any fluctuation. The junior sister was also standing in the yard, bending over like an old farmer. Oh, she looked very much like the senior brother, looking down at the new sprouts growing out of the soil. The two men knew that it must be Lord Luo who took action. "Is that all?" "what?" "Any more?" “Also, it’s not just the temple keeper. During the Ascension Ceremony that day, there was an unfilial son who, knowing that it was a monster, tricked and bullied his old father into becoming an immortal. As a result, that man was also killed the day before yesterday. "It is said that the one who killed him was the same person who killed the temple keeper, because a lot of the temple keeper's lost property ended up in his home. The man also left a note on the wall, saying that the property was for his old father's retirement. If anyone dared to take it, he would be beheaded. He also told people to examine their hearts and minds before doing such unjust things again. If Heaven does not take it away, he will take it away." The waiter paused and looked at them quietly, then glanced at the room behind him: "There's more! An official in the county, the one who gave a speech at the Ascension Meeting that day, was beheaded on the street by a warrior! Many people on the street saw it with their own eyes. The official brought a lot of servants and guards with him, but he was still beheaded! "I heard that after the warrior cut off the man's head, he did not leave, but instead informed the people at the scene -

"It is said that he never changed his name, and his surname was Luo Seng. He once served as the lieutenant of Changning County in the capital. That official colluded with the monster, took gold and silver treasures and tricked people into becoming sacrifices to the monster, so we came to kill him! “It is said that he killed forty-five demons and fifteen ghosts with his precious sword, as well as countless zombies and evil creatures. If anyone colludes with demons to steal money and kill people again in the future, he will never be forgiven! "If the government finds him guilty and wants him wanted, just look for him and no one else! "Then he walked away leisurely, and no one dared to stop him! "..." The guy spoke the latter part as if he was describing a heroic story. He was excited and spoke quickly, and he wished he was there at the scene or had such skills and courage. And every word he said evoked images in Lin Jue's mind and sounded. All the heroic spirit of the time is contained in it. Even the junior sister stood up straight and looked ahead. "You must have known that the man was Mr. Luo who was traveling with us." Lin Jue's voice rang out in the courtyard. "What do you think?" "That Mr. Li bullied the people, levied taxes arbitrarily, and colluded with demons. He should have died long ago!" "Ok?" "I have been a coward since I was young, I have no skills, and I have never read books, but I can tell right from wrong. I know that the two Taoist priests are immortals, and that Luo Gong must be a rare hero in the world. I don't know anything else, I just know that if I also have such skills, I can be a hero like him, or get to know him, I, I... The guy paused and said with a complicated expression: "I would rather die!" "Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Jue bowed to him. Nothing else needs to be explained. The Taoist knew that he would not report to the authorities, and he also knew that the Taoist knew that he would not report to the authorities, so that was it. That afternoon, the warrior led a tall horse with a long spear and a long knife tied to the horse. He left the official road and walked onto the small path. At sunset, he arrived in front of the fence of the courtyard. There were two Taoists sitting on the cushion, with a fox and a cat on each side. The fox looked up at him. Lin Jueyi raised his head and looked at him. "Mr. Luo." "Two Taoist priests." Luo Seng unlocked the wooden door himself, led the horse in, looked around the thatched cottage, and then threw his bag on the stone table. There was a loud clatter inside, and many pearls and jade articles could be seen, as well as many crushed cups and pots made of gold and silver. "Did the Taoist priest give the rent money?" The warrior looked calm and just said this. Lin Jue knew from his expression that he was the most suitable person to do such things as killing people and robbing their money. "We have heard about Lord Luo." Lin Jue stood up. "Lord Luo is very heroic. Now the people of Runze County probably regard you as a hero." "I don't have any heroic sentiments, I'm just helpless! If the government did a better job, where would the heroes come from?" Luo Seng shook his head and said, he used to be a county lieutenant, "Master, please rest assured, although I did such a thing in the street, I am very famous in the world. Nowadays, everything is in chaos, these officials can neither catch me nor dare to catch me."

Lin Jue nodded and just said: "The room on the left will be for Luo Gong to live in. There is a pigsty opposite. There are no pigs there, so it can be used as a stable temporarily." The three of them settled down here. (End of this chapter)
