Chapter 118 Inquiry
"Good believers, don't be alarmed. The poor Taoist is just a wandering Taoist traveling here. He passed by the precious land and wanted to beg for a bowl of water."

Shen Lipu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and guessed that he might be the old lady's son or something, because they had similar facial features.

"Oh, Taoist priest, wait a minute!"

After saying that, the man also entered the room, then took out a bowl of water and handed it to Shen Lipu.

The old lady also walked out at this time, smiling as she watched her son hand the water to Shen Lipu, and at the same time asked curiously: "Looking at the little Taoist priest, I guess he is a monk practicing cultivation.

'To tell you the truth, I haven't seen this outfit for more than ten years. "

After listening to the old lady's words, Shen Lipu also put down the water bowl and said, "Yes, Pindao is a Taoist monk practicing as a monk. During this trip to the mountains, he happened to pass by the precious land!"

As he spoke, Shen Lipu turned his attention to the middle-aged man next to him and asked casually:

'Hey, by the way, brother, are you...? "

The reason why Shen Lipu asked this was because he felt that the old lady might not be that well-informed, but this man was different. After all, he was a person walking around on the street. If Wang Laohu had done anything unusual recently, he Definitely be the first to know.

Another thing to mention here is that old ladies or middle-aged women are often the most gossipy group in current concepts.

In fact, this statement is not entirely correct. If it is gossip information such as ordinary family ethics, then these housewives must be the ones who like to gossip the most.

But when it comes to things like Wang Laohu being beaten on the street, the ones who talk about it the most are definitely men.

Shen Lipu is 100% sure that the men in this village have definitely discussed the beating of Wang Laohu many times recently. Just imagine, if there is a bully in your village, and suddenly one day he is beaten by outsiders and cannot take care of himself, then he will be most interested in discussing this matter. Who could it be?

Don't think too much, it must be a man nearby.

First of all, since Wang Laohu is a tyrant in this village, he has definitely bullied people in this village. Now that he is unlucky, everyone will definitely be very happy.

Secondly, this kind of violence itself is very attractive to men, while women, on the other hand, are more inclined to focus on trivial matters such as family or marital relationships.

"Ah, him, he is my son!"

Before the man could speak, the old lady answered for him.

"Taoist Master, my name is Wang Dazhuang."

The man then added.

"Oh~hehe."

It was an ordinary name, and Shen Lipu couldn't boast about it, so she could only smile and nod.

"Okay, Taoist priest, drink slowly. I have to go to the fields."

Wang Dazhuang and Shen Lipu had nothing to talk about. He originally came to take a look when he heard the commotion. Now that he had finished reading, of course he had nothing to say, so he went out and left after saying polite words.

Seeing that Wang Dazhuang was about to leave, Shen Lipu quickly asked to stay: "Wang Shanxin, please stay. I have one more thing to ask."

"Oh? What else does the Taoist priest have to do? Tell me!"

"I would like to ask a good believer, that big house over there belongs to a big family in this village? Who is the owner of the house?"

Shen Lipu pointed to the Wang family's mansion not far away, deliberately pretending to be curious, and asked Wang Dazhuang.

Looking in the direction Shen Lipu pointed, with just a brief glance, Wang Dazhuang knew that Shen Lipu was talking about Wang Laohu's mansion, and his expression immediately became serious. "Little Taoist Priest, that's the house of Mr. Wang, the rich king of this village."

He originally wanted to say that this was Wang Laohu's house, but after all, he had lived for so many years, and caution had become an instinctive reaction, and he suddenly stopped talking.

"Oh? Could it be that this is Wang Laohu's house?"

Shen Lipu's original intention was not to alert others, but the Wang Dazhuang in front of him was a little cautious. If Shen Lipu didn't say something, he probably wouldn't reveal anything.

So, Shen Lipu looked at him, smiled, shook his head and continued:
"Hahaha, Pindao has been traveling in the next village for the past two days. What he heard the most was that Wang Laohu of Wangjia Village was beaten up. Since you are here in Wangjia Village, how could Mr. Wang be beaten? King Tiger?"

"Well, yes, it's him!"

After all, Wang Dazhuang is just an ordinary person, not an agent. Now that Shen Lipu has brought up this matter, he will no longer mince words.

So, Shen Lipu then asked him about the king tiger.

Wang Dazhuang was quite conservative at first, but with Shen Lipu's quiet compliments, he gradually started to talk.

I gathered together what I had heard and thought about these days, and then I said it all in one go.

At the end, Shen Lipu changed the topic and asked curiously: "Since Mr. Wang from your village is so ruthless and cruel, will he admit it when he was beaten this time? Don't you want to take revenge and go back?" ?”

"This……"

Hearing this, Wang Dazhuang was also stuck. He was just a farmer, so he didn't know what Wang Laohu was thinking.

However, he still said truthfully: "I don't know. Ever since he was beaten, no one in our village has seen him come out for so many days. The door to their house is basically closed every day. Those bad people who used to come every day have been there recently." There’s no trace of him either.”

"Oh, it is!"

After hearing this, Shen Lipu nodded slowly. Judging from Wang Dazhuang's words, this Wang Laohu might be really cowardly. He has never left the door these days.

He suddenly felt that he was being too preoccupied. At this level, if Wang Laohu wanted to take revenge, he would probably gather people to attack him as soon as he came back.

Since he chose to disappear, there should be no follow-up.

Thinking of this, Shen Lipu shook his head. He had been too nervous about this whim in the past few days, and he was actually suspicious of a gangster leader.

There is really no need for it. If the soldiers come to block it and the water comes to cover it up, how can the Taoist monks worry about the revenge of a rogue like him?

After figuring this out, Shen Lipu immediately felt much more enlightened.

So he exchanged a few words with Wang Dazhuang, then said goodbye and left.

I have to say that Shen Lipu is indeed a qualified supporter. At least Wang Dazhuang felt that what he said today was very satisfying.

He even persuaded Shen Lipu to stay for dinner, not because of anything else, but because he felt that he was in love with Shen Lipu.

Shen Lipu smiled and rejected Wang Dazhuang's offer of food, and continued south to the next village, which was a relatively prosperous commercial village. He bought some food there and put it in the storage space.

Next, Shen Lipu did not go through the villages or towns, but walked south while admiring the scenery in the fields and mountains.
