Chapter 17 Look, man!(1/3)
"Puuu~"
Unexpectedly, the man tripped to the ground just after running two steps.
Mo Ziming walked forward slowly, squatted down and patted the other person on the shoulder and smiled, "Don't worry, you can't run away."
A fierce light flashed through the man's eyes, his body thrust, and he tried to capture Mo Ziming as a hostage.
As a result, as soon as he moved, he felt limp all over and leaned to the ground again.
Now Fang Zhi met a master, so he could only beg with a sad face: "Brother, please give up your hand and let the villain go. Who would be willing to be a bandit if you have something to eat..."
"Haha, haha!" At this time, the scholar holding the knife couldn't help laughing dryly, carrying the knife to come forward: "Is it exposed? This is what you said yourself, you are a bandit."
"Yes, I admit it, but...but I was forced to helpless.
My family was poor and finally got married, but the woman couldn't stand the hard life and ran away with someone in less than half a year.
Then there was a famine, and my father and mother starved to death.
I really had no way to go up the mountain to become a bandit in order to survive.
But I can swear that I have never hurt a single life…”
"Who believes your nonsense?"
"Whether you believe it or not, I just want to live.
A few days ago, our village was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and I escaped by luck.
Hiding in the mountains is really hungry, so I have no choice but to ask you for some dry food..."
"Young Master, don't listen to him nonsense. He just wants to deceive our sympathy and tie him up!"
The scholar ran up and looked angry.
As a result, Mo Ziming said, "I believe what he said."
"Ah? This young man, these bandits..."
The servant wanted to defend himself, but Mo Ziming waved his hand and interrupted: "Okay, don't talk much, just give him a chance to be a new person."
Hearing this, the man was very surprised and quickly said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you."
Seeing this, the scholar couldn't hold on any longer, so he finally returned the knife to the other party.
"Thank you, the two young men, for not taking grudges. The villain Meng Longtan, is willing to escort the two young men to Beijing for the exam. I just want... cough, just give me some food."
"You have the strength to escort us?"
The scholar was quite dissatisfied.
Meng Longtan looked embarrassed: "Aren't you afraid of hurting you before? So letting you go, if you act seriously, you will definitely not be able to beat me."
The scholar was obviously dissatisfied: "Oh, come on, let's go two more tricks."
Mo Ziming couldn't help but waved his hand: "Okay, don't argue with me. I think there should be a river in the river over there. Why don't we catch a few fish and eat meat?"
Meng Longtan was stunned: "But we don't have the tools to catch fish, how can we catch fish?"
Mo Ziming smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, I have a way."
"By the way, brother Tai, younger brother Zhu Xiaolian, that's my younger brother's servant Houxia. I wonder what my brother Tai calls me?"
"Xiaosheng's surname is Mo, and he is from Qiantang."
Zhu Xiaolian subconsciously bowed: "Oh, it turns out to be..." When he said this, he suddenly widened his eyes: "Wait, brother, the surname Mo? from Qiantang?"
“That’s right!”
"So, are you the famous Mo Jieyuan?"
"It's just a false reputation..." Mo Ziming smiled modestly.
Zhu Xiaolian was quite excited and bowed repeatedly, "It turns out that it is Mo Jieyuan. I have long admired Daming, but I never thought I would meet him by chance in this wilderness. It is really a blessing."
"Brother Zhu said he is serious..."
While talking, the four of them walked to the river together. Mo Ziming picked up a stone the size of a small bowl, stared at the stone at the bottom of the river and smashed it...
"Dong~"
With a dull sound, two fish with chopsticks lengths floated on the river surface.
"Huh? This is OK?"
Meng Longtan looked surprised and picked up a stone to smash it...
"Dong~"
Splashes everywhere.
Zhu Xiaolian and Hou Xia also tried several times, but none of them could hit the fish.
Mo Ziming smiled and said, "This method still requires skills. First, you must focus on where the fish hides, such as the stone hanging at the bottom of the river. Second, the strength must be sufficient..."
In fact, this method is very popular among the people.
But it is usually shallower river water, and the fish are not big.
Like the river in front of you, the water is almost waist-deep, and it is unlikely that ordinary people will shake the fish through this method.
Simply put, there is not that much power.
Mo Ziming smashed it accurately and several times, and harvested more than a dozen fish. Later, Xia used branches to drive the fish to the water and fished them up one by one.
In fact, there is no need to be such a trouble if Mo Ziming really wants to catch fish. He just needs to catch it in the void, but he just doesn’t want to be too arrogant in front of others.
Afterwards, Houxia and Meng Longtan happily cleaned the fish and set up a fire to roast them.
Meng Longtan killed half of the fish alone and ate three steamed buns, which shows that he was really hungry.
When I was full and had enough, the sky began to darken slowly.
"Young Master, we have to hurry up and find a place to rest."
Hou Xia looked up at the sky and couldn't help but say something.
"Yeah, let's go."
So the four of them set off together and continued on.
After leaving for about two quarters of an hour, Hou Xia suddenly said in surprise: "Young master, there is a light in front of you!"
Zhu Xiaolian was excited: "If there is light, there will be someone else. Go and have a look!"
I only realized that it was a small temple when I got closer.
"Haha, it's really a road ahead. You don't have to sleep in the open now."
Meng Longtan left his knife behind his back and walked into the temple happily.
"Hey, is anyone? Is there anyone?"
"Longtan, this is a pure place in Buddhism. What are you doing with a loud noise?"
Mo Ziming followed up and scolded Meng Longtan.
"Yes, yes, what the young master taught me is a lesson."
Meng Longtan dared not respond, and immediately laughed and responded.
"Hmph, there is no rule!"
Later Xia had a pretty prejudice against Meng Longtan and took this opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
This made Meng Longtan angry and couldn't help but retort: "Do you know the rules? I'm talking to Mr. Mo, what do you think of you?"
"you……"
"Okay, Xia, don't be embarrassed here!"
Zhu Xiaolian also walked in and yelled at Houxia.
"yes!"
Hou Xia dared not speak out anymore.
"Haha, it turns out that a distinguished guest has arrived. I don't move. Welcome everyone to Han..."
A short monk with round head and big ears walked out happily.
"Master Don't move, I missed the stay and could only go to Guishi to disturb you for a night. Please help me."
Mo Ziming had to go up and give a gift.
Master Buddie moved sideways without showing any expression, as if he was intentionally avoiding Mo Ziming's frontal greeting. At the same time, he smiled and said, "It's okay, since you have the chance to enter the temple, please let me please, I will prepare some tea for you."
"Master, you don't have to be polite, just have clear water."
"It's okay..."
Master Fudong still looked smiling and turned toward the inner wing.
"In the summer, you go and take a few incense sticks and add light oil."
Zhu Xiaolian glanced at the incense table on the east side of the hall and gave an order.
"Yes, young master!"
Hou Xia responded, ran to light two candles first, then burned incense and added oil.
After adding lamp oil, he subconsciously glanced at the wall and said in surprise: "Young master, come and see, there are many women in this painting."
