I played the world alone

Chapter 192 Is there any monster at work?
"Master, we have a small business here, and we really don't have much money. I'm giving you these two copper coins. You can go to another house..."

Xiao Er took out two copper coins from his belt, and reluctantly wanted to put them into the golden bowl of the other party.

But at this moment, the Zen stick blocked his hand.

"I didn't come here for alms. Today I came to Yuhang for a few days, and I want to stay here temporarily."

The old monk said solemnly.

"Live? We also need money to stay here."

Xiao Er looked him up and down, suspicious.

No matter how you look at it, this person in front of you doesn't look like a rich man.

Especially the clothes on his body are still so shabby.

Their inn is not a place dedicated to doing good deeds.

Immediately, he saw the monk put down the golden bowl, took it out of his pocket, and actually took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to him.

Xiao Er froze in place for a moment, confirming again and again that it was indeed silver, and then carefully put it away in surprise, with a smile on his face.

"Master, there are not many rooms left in our inn, but there are still a few of the best superior rooms. Your money is enough to live in the superior rooms for three days!"

"Well, it should be almost time." The old monk nodded slightly, "Lead the way."

"okay."

While leading the way, Xiao Er asked him if he needed hot water and if he wanted to order vegetarian dishes to fill his stomach.

After being rejected, Xiao Er felt a little regretful that he had lost the opportunity to earn some extra money. Then, looking at his clothes, he couldn't help asking curiously: "I don't know what the master's name is? I don't think I've seen you in the nearby temples."

"Fahai." The old monk said indifferently, "I have realized that the Buddhist scriptures can't be understood in a few words in the scriptures a few years ago, so I decided to go down the mountain to travel in the world of mortals. This time, I just happened to pass by the Yuhang area, and I will leave in a few days."

"Master Fahai..."

Xiao Er suddenly nodded, and did not continue to ask more questions.

In my heart, I was thinking that monks are really making money now, and they can spend so much money for accommodation. Generally, monks must go to a nearby temple to borrow.

I can't help but start to think about how I can get more money from the other party.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard the other party ask: "By the way, have any strange things happened in Yuhang County in recent days?"

"Strange thing?"

Xiao Er was taken aback.

"Well, for example, what evildoers are sneaking around and so on." Fa Hai asked.

"Sneaky?!"

Xiao Er opened his mouth and shook his head blankly.

"I haven't heard of it in recent days. But a few days ago, some people died due to the famine. Some people saw ghostly lights floating in the mass graves outside the city, and some people said they heard women crying there in the middle of the night..."

Like this kind of market gossip, he said it vividly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

At this moment, the two drinking customers in the store laughed loudly.

"Xiao Er, you only heard the storyteller surnamed Qian read a few words, and you are also learning to speak here, right? You are not afraid of laughing to death."

One of them got drunk and yelled until Xiao Er blushed.

"What's there! Maybe it's there?"

"Hey, I don't believe it!" The man stood up with his back propped up, his head raised, and he looked like the most proud person in the world.

"I urinated in front of the statue of the Land Lord a few days ago, and I didn't see the Land Lord come to trouble me. These things are all deceitful, and only you idiots will believe it."

"Hey, well said. Another day, let's go to the nearby temple and pee on the Buddha statue in front of those monks, and see what they dare to do." The other person also echoed, hiccupped and laughed loudly.

"Pooh."

Xiao Er spat angrily, but did not dare to quarrel with the two drunks.

If you scold a few times, you can scold them a few times. If the tables, chairs and benches are broken, he will have to deduct wages when the shopkeeper comes back.

"Master Fa Hai, you go up first, those two people are drunk, don't be as knowledgeable as them."

Fa Hai nodded slightly, but his eyes swept over those two people, and then he continued to walk to the guest room on the second floor.

……

By the West Lake.

The old man Liu who was in charge of punting slowly brought the boat to the shore, tied the rope, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sighed.

"Oh, it's really hard to make money these days."

The economy has not been very good recently, and the occasional work of helping others to fish for things has also decreased.

Only on some big days during the New Year and festivals, when those famous buildings and painting boats swim on the West Lake, the whole lake is like a rosy cloud paving the ground, watching those beauties and gentlemen reciting poems and fighting against each other. Only a few arty and elegant laymen in a small boat like myself can get together a little business and make a little money.

Too bad it's not that good of a day.

The poetry meeting has been closed for quite some time.

Just when he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly saw a woman in white clothes standing on the shore at some point. After a moment of surprise, he took a closer look, but he couldn't bear to move his eyes away. He stared blankly at that stunning appearance, almost forgot to breathe.

He dared to swear that he had been floating on this West Lake for so many years, and he had rowed a small boat and wandered beside those painted boats, and he had the honor to meet dozens of talented oirans.

But no one can compare to the one in front of him!
Since he hadn't read much and only listened to those arty literati reciting a few lines of verses, two words subconsciously emerged at this moment.

"Skin as firm as fat, sinking fish and wild goose..."

"Boater, are you still sailing?"

The stunning woman suddenly lowered her head and asked him softly.

That gentle and pleasant voice instantly pulled his soul back from the sky.

Before he even thought about it, his body subconsciously gave the most correct answer.

Nodding again and again, his hand has already quickly untied the rope that fixed the boat, for fear that if he was a step too slow, the woman would disappear.

At the same time, he stammered: "Please come up!"

He felt that he was never so nervous even when he married his first wife or gave birth to his first child!

I almost didn't even know where to put my hands and feet.

With a slight flicker, the woman had already arrived on the boat.

He was standing at the stern of the boat, gently rowing the boat, while the woman was standing at the bow, looking at the slightly rippling lake calmly.

"Girl...where do you want to go?"

The woman pointed lightly and pointed to the center of the lake.

"Let's go over there."

"Okay. Girl, it's windy at night, you have to stand still."

Old man Liu felt that he was full of energy, as if he had returned to his youth.

Although punting on this dark night was a bit dangerous, he felt it was worth the risk.

Soon, the boat has come to the center of the lake.

Old man Liu controlled the boat to drift slowly, not to drift far away, and at the same time looked at the girl at the bow with some curiosity,
Although the strong wind at night made his clothes rattle and made it difficult for him to control the direction of the boat, but just now, the girl's body didn't even shake, as if it was integrated with the boat.

He subconsciously felt that this girl must have excellent water skills, maybe she was born on a boat.

But if this is the case, then the other party's face should also have rough traces of wind and rain, it shouldn't be so perfect...
