Chapter 20 Xue Sisters Mo Xiang, this is the little girl’s name, and her sister’s name is Shu Xiang.
The two women's surname is Xue and they live in Mingzhou.
Jiang Wen saw that the two sisters were very polite in their behavior and speech, so he knew that their family background was not ordinary.
From Mo Xiang's own words, her family came from a scholarly family, and her grandfather was once a two-ranked Jinshi, and had the official position of knowing the father was a civil servant and his mother was the daughter of a wealthy were two older brothers in the family, but they were separated while fleeing.
As for his parents, they were targeted and robbed by gangsters on the way and accidentally lost their lives.
Hearing what Mo Xiang said, Jiang Wen felt quite was a young lady, but she didn't expect to end up in such a bad situation. She almost starved to death on the blessing and misfortune is just a thought.
"Are there any other relatives in the family?" Jiang Wen asked warmly, looking at the two women sitting in the corner of the carriage.
"There are still some relatives, but..." Mo Xiangduo was a little embarrassed and seemed unwilling to talk about those relatives in her family.
Jiang Wen didn't ask much. He knew that every family had sutras that were difficult to the girl didn't want to say it, he wouldn't force all, if they were really good relatives, how could these two little girls rather starve to death than join each other?I'm just afraid that this relative is like a wolf and a tiger, and once he enters his mouth, it will be difficult to escape.
Take the official road and arrive at Linjiang County at dusk.
He took the two sisters to a hotel. The shopkeeper looked at the dirty-faced girl and was a little dissatisfied.
"I'm telling you, Taoist priest, we don't accept beggars in our hotel." The shopkeeper was dissatisfied and pointed at Mo Xiang. "If you open two rooms, what if they dirty my room?"
When Mo Xiang heard this, she timidly pulled Jiang Wen's was about to say something, but he stopped her.
Touching into his sleeve, Jiang Wen smiled and took out a piece of it on the table and look at the shopkeeper quietly.
"Ouch! Look at my bad mouth. I can dirty three or four rooms, not to mention two. Isn't this guest room just for people to live in? Waiter! Waiter! Why don't you tell me quickly? I have built two A-shaped rooms, and I want them to be entertained with good wine and good food." When the shopkeeper saw Yin Ding, his face suddenly became picked up the silver and bit it, and smiled when he confirmed it was genuine.
He shouted to the waiter who was busy in the store, and watched Jiang Wen hand over a jar of wine: "Master Dao, you want to try my Xinghua Spring Wine, which is famous for its good wine within ten miles. Just treat it like this. Please don’t be offended by my apology for saying the wrong thing just now.”
"The shopkeeper is quite good at being a good person." Jiang Wen smiled and accepted the wine asked the waiter to take the two sisters to the room first, and asked the store clerk to buy two new sets of clothes while he inquired about some things with the shopkeeper.
"I came back from Changping Village and saw victims on the road like ants. Does the shopkeeper know the details?"
"Don't you know, Master Dao? I heard that there is a drought in Mingzhou in the north. It is said that it was caused by something evil. The imperial court blocked Dingyuan City in Mingzhou for half a year, but failed to solve the problem. Mingzhou and In the two surrounding Taicang prefectures, there hasn’t been a drop of rain for half a year! Many people died!"
The shopkeeper told Jiang Wen what he knew, and Jiang Wen realized that this disaster was far more complicated than he it with the coachman's words, he finally understood the origin of this disaster.
It seems that the imperial court sent people to deal with this demonic disaster. Unfortunately, the demonic calamity was too severe and the monks in the imperial court returned that the three continents in the north have fallen into disaster, millions of people have been displaced and fled towards southern Fujian in order to survive.
"You think Chang Mingzi came here because of this?" Jiang Wen thought of Chang Mingzi who was in a hurry. He probably went north to deal with the demon Daqian court can stand for thousands of years, and it must have some doesn't have to worry about this evil disaster.
Jiang Wen didn't think about it any more, so he chatted with the shopkeeper for a asked the surrounding villages and towns if there were any strange things, and the shopkeeper said that there was indeed something strange. "Oh? The shopkeeper can tell you in detail." Jiang Wen was quite the statue was elevated to the status of a god, he wanted to try his that six thousand meritorious deeds are guaranteed, he is not afraid of ordinary strange , if you can earn some traveling expenses on the way, why not do it.
"Something strange happened in Lijia Village. I heard that the grandson of Li Changxin in the village was in a coma for three days for some reason. He looked for doctors and Taoists, but nothing got better. The child's parents prayed to gods and Buddhas everywhere, but nothing happened. No way." The shopkeeper counted the coins and told Jiang Wen what he knew. "What's even more strange is that the child would sleepwalk towards the river every night late at night. If his family hadn't found him in time, he would have drowned several times. It's really weird."
"Are you faint?" Jiang Wen thought thoughtfully. After he found out what he wanted to know, he didn't stay any longer.
After arriving in the guest room and sitting down to rest for a while, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Jiang Wen naturally knew who it was and didn't say much.
The door creaked open, and the Xue sisters walked had just washed it, but there were still drops of water dripping from the ends of her hair.
They saluted Jiang Wen and said softly: "Thank you sir for saving your life."
"It's just a little effort." Jiang Wen pulled off his fake beard and smiled at the two usually pretends to be a superior person and wears a fake beard to increase his age. But in the future, he will get along with his sisters, so there is no need to cover up the fake beard.
Rubbing his sore chin, he looked at the two sisters.
If they looked like clay dolls before, then the two sisters who were washed first were really eye-catching.
Not to mention my elder sister, this younger sister is scholarly. She looks like she is only seventy or eight years old, but she has a playful and cute eyes are as big as apricots, and her skin is as fair as a porcelain she doesn't grow crooked in the future, she will definitely be a great beauty.
As for my sister Mo Xiang, she has the appearance of a peach blossom and the bones of an autumn tall and graceful trees have beautiful faces and beautiful if I am used to seeing beauties in pornographic pictures on the Internet, I am a little surprised to see this original girl.
But as stunning as it was, Jiang Wen had no thought of how the two sisters were dressed before, and he thought it was for self-protection.
When Jiang Wen looked at the two sisters, Mo Xiang also looked at him her savior pull off his beard, Mo Xiang was a little at the benefactor's complexion as white as jade and his appearance like a god or immortal, he seemed to be in a trance without realizing it.
"I want to tell you something." Jiang Wen said warmly. "I am the master of Jingxu Temple, and this time I am also returning to the temple. If you two sisters are willing to follow me, I will take you in the temple. If you are not willing, I will treat you as acquaintances and give you some money. Find a way out.”
Hearing Jiang Wen's words, Mo Xiang had a bitter look on her face. She leaned over and lowered her head and said, "My sister and I have no relatives now, but our benefactor is willing to save us. We are helpless in the world, and Mo Xiang is willing to follow his benefactor back to the hospital." "
"In this case, I need to make an agreement with you." Jiang Wen took a sip of tea and looked at his sisters and said. "If you enter the monastery, you cannot tell outsiders what happened in the monastery. If you let me know that it was you who revealed it, don't blame me for being merciless."
His Taoist temple involves two worlds, so he naturally has to keep such an important secret don’t know yet whether other people can travel through it, but I still need to be vaccinated.
Hearing the harshness in the words, both sisters Wen felt much relieved when he saw their sincere asking them softly, they were allowed to go back to rest.
Wait until dawn tomorrow, and then go to Lijiacun along the way to have a look.
