Lord, I'm floating

Chapter 30
"Crackling", "creaking", the two stepped on the thick snow and climbed slowly from the bottom of the mountain to the hillside.

All around was a vast expanse of whiteness, and no one was in the mood to speak.

Out of the corner of Chen Mou's eyes, he caught sight of Tao'er, who was walking hard with her head buried in white gas, occasionally wiping away her tears with her sleeves, her face was pale, she bit her lip without saying a word, her messy hair was stubborn in the cold wind fly.

The poor woman knew she was going to be taken away and sold.

What awaits her will be extremely dark, perhaps only a few years to live for the rest of her life.

Most of the maids who were sold back to Yalou could not be sold within a year, and most of them would be sent to secular places.

Chen Mou kept struggling in his heart. He had already left three tokens of martial virtue to Mu Xing symbolically, and got Tao'er's contract of sale from the handmaiden Huai'er. .

If you don't give money, you can't do it. This is an entrusted transaction.

He was in a dilemma, should he take Tao'er home and use it as a maid, or should he really sell the woman who was abandoned by others as an ominous woman back to Yalou, and fulfill Lao Mu's entrustment?
He and Tao'er have known each other for nearly three years. Unlike Xing'er who disliked him back then, Tao'er treats people with gentleness and courtesy, and works diligently and honestly. His clothes, shoes and hats, except for underwear, are washed and taken care of by Tao'er, no matter whether it is winter or summer.

In his impression, this woman worked non-stop from morning to night, with a gentle smile and soft-spoken words, like a grass that accepted her fate.

The slope was steep and snowy, and the frail woman was unable to step on her feet firmly, and she stumbled and fell backwards.

Chen Mou grabbed the woman's thin shoulders and held her firmly.

Looking at the woman whose eyes were misty and misty, he finally made up his mind to do good deeds once, reached out to grab the woman's cold little hand, and said in a deep voice, "Go to Fangshi to have breakfast first, and I'll buy you some Daily wear items, and you come home with me."

I have seen the woman's contract of prostitution, and this year is only 19 years old.

He was kicked out without even being allowed to bring a change of clothes.

Tao'er's eyes sparkled with surprise, and she couldn't believe it, she muttered: "But, but I..."

"The broom star's statement is pure nonsense, and besides, my generation of monks originally practiced against the sky, so how can we care about the nonsense of the broom star hindering the Lord, and you are not allowed to mention it to outsiders from now on."

Chen Mou took the woman by the hand and instructed without doubt.

In this market world, maidservants are like clothes, which can be changed at will, but it will not end well if they get a reputation as a broom star.

"Thank you, Young Master, for taking me in. Tao'er is like a cow and a horse, and I will repay your great kindness."

The woman seemed to have been reborn, her face regained the color of blood, and she followed the young Taoist priest up the mountain like a bird.

Girls like them who were sold into dental buildings since childhood, their lives are worthless, their greatest hope is to meet a better master, give birth to a boy and a half girl, or get food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

"Just do your part, yes, you have to change your name."

"My lord, please give me a name!"

"Well... let's call it 'Ying'er'."

Chen Mou said casually, the book said that changing one's name can change a person's fate, and the book also said that Lu Ma is the Lord, but changing the owner can be the savior.

He didn't believe in these before, but now he believes a little bit.

Ying'er, who was often hungry, looked like she was beaten and scolded today and hadn't eaten a grain of rice. She ate at a restaurant in Fangshi, and spent five Wude money to make Ying'er look brand new from top to bottom. Necessary items of life.

He went to the foreign affairs workshop again, showed Ying'er's deed of selling his life to change Ying'er's name, and registered it under his name, and spent two Wude coins to give Ying'er a copper key to enter and exit the courtyard alone.

The sun was high, and Chen Mou returned to his small courtyard with his maid Shanshan.

Walked through several rooms, briefly explained the location of the firewood, rice, oil and salt, and specially warned Ying'er not to enter the forging room he transformed. It is not allowed at any time, and there is no need to clean it. There are valuables in it. If there is any violation, she will be sold. .

He has been able to accurately determine the location of the crossing in the forge, and there will be no mistakes.

Ying'er was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she said that even if she was killed, she would not dare to enter the forging room, let alone spy on her.

There is a hard-working and beautiful maid who takes care of it. Mr. Chen has lived a luxurious life of reaching out for food. Seeing Ying'er busy up and down happily, and coming over to serve tea and water from time to time, he sighed in his heart, what the hell? That's how people live.

He hasn't practiced the Tao yet, and he hasn't reached the realm of eating Xia, drinking dew, clearing his mind and asceticism.

A mortal heart should roll around in the world of mortals for a few years first.

In other words, "Labor and capital are laymen, and they haven't enjoyed enough."

Thinking of this, Mr. Chen was able to sit back and enjoy his success with peace of mind. He had nothing to do, and silently recited the "Qing Jing Sutra".

Back then in the Taoism Discussion Hall "Ask the Room", Daoist Ning didn't teach him too many rules and taboos. He didn't know what was not allowed or what was not allowed.

Sitting on the chair in the main room today, he unconsciously entered the pure state again.

The whole person fell into a magical state of tranquility and peace of mind, with his eyes closed and his breathing long and long.

There seems to be a gentle breeze flowing in the house, the mist gradually rises around the side, and the tiny light shimmers on the skin.

When Ying'er came in again, he saw that the young master was working hard with his eyes closed, so he hurriedly retreated out.

After finishing lunch, Ying'er saw that the young master still hadn't woken up. She found out the shovel and broom, tried not to make any noise, and shoveled the snow in the small yard to the corner of the wall to pile up. After working for more than half an hour, her forehead was dripping with sweat. , Clean up the yard.

Turning around, he saw Young Master watching her from the eaves steps.

"Young master, please wait a moment, the food is hot in the pot, I will bring it right away."

Ying'er put down the tools and ran to the kitchen.

Chen Mou Shiran walked into the main room, he just woke up from his cultivation, his cultivation base has increased a little, he was thinking about the comfort that is quiet from the inside out to the bone, why did he enter this time Pure state?
Is it really because he took in Ying'er out of kindness and saved someone's life to accumulate merit for himself?
It's impossible to think about it, there is no good thing that will have immediate results.

After Ying'er, who was quick in hands and feet, finished arranging the meals, Chen Mou ordered: "When there are no outsiders, sit down and eat with me, um, you will have the strength to work when you are full."

For Ying'er, who obeys orders, he uses an orderly tone, and there is no need to discuss it.

In the Mo Mansion on the mountain, when he wasn't going to eat, the master and maidservants would sit around a table to eat, creating a lively atmosphere.

After the meal, drinking the freshly brewed fragrant tea, everything is so just right.

The cold and lonely atmosphere in the house has long since disappeared.

In the afternoon, Mr. Chen was enjoying the tenderness of his little hands gently pinching his shoulders, and he despised the evil feudal cultivation society in his heart, it was too decadent and depraved, and it tested his will too much.

Fortunately, he is a determined handful.

After feeling comfortable for a long time, I got up and walked into the forging room next door, and closed the door. Not long after, there was the sound of "ding ding ding" forging iron.

As the sun set and the sky turned dark, Mr. Chen walked out of the forging room with a smoldering air.

Except for the forging room, the entire house was cleaned and wiped spotless, and the messy items were neatly arranged, making it refreshing and eye-catching, like a place where people live.

With the hot water brought by Ying'er, he washed his hands, wiped his face with a towel, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the mountain as a guest."

He had told Ying'er in advance that he should not open fire to cook at night, and had friends treat him.

After leaving the courtyard gate, we turned around the hill to the south, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the white snow in the distance with a warm golden yellow, which contrasted with the blue in the shadow of the snow.

Holding the weak and boneless little hand, stepping on the thick snow, he walked up the hill step by step.

Master Chen was worried that his maid would fall.

When he came to the courtyard on the top of the mountain, the aroma of roasted lamb wafted out. Hearing the lively voices inside, Chen Mou let go of his little hand, knocked on the door and shouted: "Brother Mo, the guests haven't arrived yet, so why don't you close the door and eat alone."

"Haha, it's all over, what else are you doing here?"

Mo Fu opened the courtyard door with a smile, he was stunned for a moment, and then stretched out his hand to invite: "Brother Mou, you are enlightened today, congratulations, come in quickly, it's cold outside."

Ying'er saluted and said hello timidly, and then followed the young master into the spacious yard, pretending not to see Master Mo winking, she took the initiative to go to the kitchen.

……

　Lao Yan wants to write a practice story that is close to real life. The emotions and desires are all difficulties that practitioners need to face and overcome.

　　The style of the whole book is relatively relaxed, without too much bitterness and hatred, and the truth is all in the smoke and fire.

　　Some readers reported that the protagonist, as a Taoist priest, should not drink flower wine with PCs.

　　It is stated here again that the protagonist has not yet converted to Taoism, but is just a fake Taoist priest practicing Taoist exercises. In the future, he will definitely join the sect to become a formal Taoist priest and must abide by Taoist rules.

　　The protagonist in the book doesn’t have a PC, but just as a companion to entertain, drink wine and listen to music, just like modern people go to bars and nightclubs for consumption, and other people’s PCs are not the protagonist’s business.

　　In addition, it is reiterated that the protagonist of this book is more than one woman, and readers who do not like it, please forgive me.

　　The protagonist is currently an ordinary person, not a morally perfect person. Just like you and me in life, you need to grow and sharpen step by step. After a lot of experience, you will be reborn from Nirvana and become a fairy. Please give the protagonist time.
