"Okay, just fifty dollars."

In the end Luo Yi decided not to use the watch.

"It's one hundred and fifty yuan," the driver said.

The car drove slowly on the road, and the driver kept talking to Luo Yi wordlessly.

"Little brother, are you going to Sophora Flower Village for a trip?"

"Yes, I heard that Sophora Flower Village is a wine-making village. There are many Sophora japonica flowers and a strong aroma of wine."

"There are sophora flowers, but you may not be able to smell the strong aroma of wine."

"Why?"

"Because Huaihua Village stopped making wine a year ago, so now Huaihua Village no longer makes wine."

"No more wine?" Luo Yi asked, "Is it because the wine cannot be sold?"

"Haha! Why can't we sell it? The wine business in Huaihua Village is very good. Although we only sell it in a small place like our Yanjiang City, we can make a lot of money." The driver laughed.

"Then why did they suddenly stop making wine?" Luo Yi asked curiously.

The driver shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. I heard that the taste of the brewed wine changed, so I stopped brewing it."

"The taste has changed?"

"Yes, the wine they brewed no longer has the same taste as before, so the local people decided to stop brewing and wait until they find out why the wine tasted bad before continuing."

"Is it so strange?"

Luo Yi thought this was a bit strange. How could the wine that had been brewing for decades suddenly change in taste?

This is really a puzzling thing.

"Actually, I think the reason why the wine in Huaihua Village has changed its taste is probably related to the fire many years ago," the driver said.

"Fire?" Luo Yi felt that the driver knew a lot.

"you do not say."

The driver said: "Many years ago, the innermost house in Huaihua Village exploded due to a gas leak, and two people were burned to death. I happened to be taking guests to Huaihua Village that day, so I knew it very well.

Not long after that, the wine they brewed in Huaihua Village began to taste bad. I heard that they hired experts to investigate, but nothing could be found. Do you think this is strange?"

"It's quite strange, but why do you say it has something to do with the fire?" Luo Yi said.

The driver said: "This is not simple. The reason why Sophora japonica Village can brew fine wine is not because of the good local water quality and the countless fine Sophora japonica trees. So I think it must have been that fire.

Some chemicals were burned and incorporated into the water quality, and the locust trees must have been affected as well, causing the wine they brewed to no longer have the original taste."

Luo Yi: "But didn't you say that the villagers have asked experts to investigate? If there is a problem with the water quality, it will definitely be investigated."

The driver smiled and said: "What's the use of experts? There are so many things they don't know, and there are many things that cannot be answered using science."

"It seems that you have encountered many unscientific things!" Luo Yi said.

"That's natural. Drivers like us who run around day and night have seen too many evil things. However, my life is relatively tough, and no kid can harm me." The driver laughed.

"Yes, master, your face looks very tough," Luo Yi said.

This driver has thick eyebrows, a thick beard, a fierce look in his eyes, and strong words. He must have a strong character.

"Tough ass!"

Unexpectedly, the driver said: "I once asked a master to see it for me. He said that my destiny is very weak, like a candle that is about to go out. It will be extinguished when the breeze blows. At that time, he said that I can only scatter wealth.

In order to save my life, I didn't listen to him. Instead, I scolded him. I managed to save so much money, how could I spend it? It would be more uncomfortable than letting me die."

"I'm afraid your so-called master is a charlatan, right?" Luo Yi said.

These days, any liar who comes forward is a master. If you make a random fortune, you will charge a high fee, in the name of taking away the sins of others.

As the saying goes, money is a sin, a desire, and the source of a person's unrest. So, young man, please let me bear these sins for you. This is nothing, because an expert once said, I don't

Who goes to hell?

"Not a charlatan." The driver said: "That master is well-known within a few miles around. He has always advocated that poverty is a blessing, luxury is a sin, throwing money into immortality, and making windfall into evil...anyway

He is just an old Taoist priest who wants everyone to live a miserable life."

"If you put it that way, this old Taoist priest is quite interesting." Luo Yi said with interest.

"Look, little brother, you are a little curious about the old Taoist priest. The old Taoist priest is in the Chenghuang Temple in Qixian Mountain, Yanjiang City. If you also want him to calculate for you, you can go there to find him."

The driver reminded: "But just do the math. You must not listen to his advice. If you do, you will definitely become a beggar."

"That's definitely not possible. I don't have much money, so I can't leave even if I want to." Luo Yi said with a smile.

When an old Taoist priest asks people to disperse their wealth, a few will listen to him.

Except for those who may have ulterior motives, everyone else would probably think that the old Taoist priest was farting.

Money is the most beautiful thing in the world, how can it be a sin?

If so, wouldn't it mean that all people in this world are already guilty?

The car drove from the bustling city into the countryside. The road from Guihua Town to Huaihua Village was indeed very bumpy as the driver said.

The road is full of potholes and has a lot of mud.

The car body was bumping, and so was Luo Yi. It seemed that the driver's car had poor shock absorption.

"I don't know what's going on. This section of road has been like this for a long time, but it hasn't been repaired for a long time. I don't know if it's because there are few vehicles passing here," the driver said.

Luo Yi observed for a while and found that the bad road was just a section. After this section of bad road, the rest of the road was good.

After a while, the car body stopped bumping because the road became smooth again.

"Master, you said there is a bad road to Huaihua Village, so the toll is a little higher?" Luo Yi said.

"That's right. Didn't you feel that terrible bump just now? Wasn't that road bad enough?" the driver said.

"But..." Luo Yi said: "This bad road is too short."

"Hey, that's wrong to say. No matter how long this bad road is, it will cause the same damage to my car. And you see it takes four or five hours to travel from the city center to this place. I'll charge you one hundred and fifty.

That’s a really reasonable price, others charge more than 200,” the driver said.

………………

Just chatting with the driver all the way, Luo Yi arrived at Huaihua Village before it got completely dark.

"Little brother, we've arrived at Huaihua Village. Have a nice time," the driver said to Luo Yi.

Luo Yi paid to get off the car: "Can you pick me up here at four o'clock the day after tomorrow?"

"Yes, yes, but you have to pay more."

"How much more?"

"Not much, fifty."
