Chapter 108 The Unjust Death of a Little Peasant Girl 16

In fact, the Ding family members don’t really believe in such mysterious things as spiritual practice, and they don’t think their eldest granddaughter/daughter/niece is very talented.

But as Hu Zi said, only a fool would disagree if someone offered to teach children to read for free!

It is so difficult to study these days. The tuition alone is enough to discourage ordinary people like them who make a living from the land.

Not to mention paper, ink and books, the expense alone makes one feel despairing.

At the beginning their expectations were not too high. It did not matter whether the children could write or not. They just hoped that the children could recognize a few words and not be blind when they went out.

But Taoist Hefeng actually said that he would cover all the writing expenses, which made the family overjoyed. They immediately became extremely motivated and started asking around for a house in the village.

There are vacant houses in the village, but most of them are dilapidated. The cost of renovating them to make them habitable is almost as much as rebuilding a new house.

But they felt bad if they let the Taoist priest live in a leaky shabby house. While they were discussing it, Aunt Liu from next door came to their door.

She had been very depressed for a while since Liu Laosan passed away, but now she seems to be in much better spirits.

Upon further inquiry, it turned out that her parents had arranged another marriage for her. The husband's family had already negotiated the matter. The Liu family took back the two acres of land in the family, and the shabby house was not worth much, so it was given to her.

The Liu family had been making a lot of noise in the past few days. The Ding family knew everything and knew that she had been the one to get the house by force, but they didn't say anything.

"So, Madam Liu, you came here today because..." Old Mrs. Ding had some guesses in her mind.

"Auntie, you've guessed it, right?" Auntie Liu San didn't beat around the bush. "I heard you were looking for a house. Do you think my house is suitable?"

Suitable, of course suitable.

Old Mrs. Ding felt that there was no place more suitable than this one. Although Liu Laosan's house was also very dilapidated, it still looked presentable because someone had always lived there and it was often repaired.

It is so much better than those houses whose roofs are gone or half of the walls have collapsed.

Moreover, there is a vegetable plot on both sides. The Taoist priest lives there alone, so it is convenient for them to help him. It is also close to the children's classes. It is really ideal.

In a flash, Old Mrs. Ding figured it out, but she remained expressionless. She found all the faults of the house from beginning to end, making Aunt Liu's face turn pale. Then she slowly offered a lower price.

Aunt Liu also knew that she was deliberately bargaining, but there were not many people buying houses in the village, and she was about to go home and get married, so she couldn't wait to take a look.

Moreover, although the price offered by Old Lady Ding was a bit low, it was not outrageous. In the end, after some bargaining, the two of them reached a price that both parties were satisfied with.

Of course, the money was still paid by Chen Yuan, but the Ding family didn't know about it. They felt that they were ashamed of Taoist Hefeng for having to pay money after he had made efforts.

But the Ding family really couldn't come up with so much money, so they had to shamelessly acknowledge the favor, secretly keep it in their hearts, and plan to repay it slowly in the future.

Old man Ding took his sons to tinker with it. It took them two days to repair all the broken and leaking parts, and they also replaced the roof with a new thatched roof.

After cleaning the house thoroughly and tidying up, and equipping it with all the necessary furniture and other things inside and outside, we respectfully invited the Taoist priest to move in.

This made Taoist Hefeng feel very uncomfortable. The Ding family members didn't understand, but he knew very well that he was not really here to be a teacher.

I wanted to give them money, but the family refused to take it, which made me angry and I ran away faster than a rabbit.

It was only after Chen Yuan signaled him to keep it that he took advantage of it with a hot face.

After that, his teaching career began. Every day, the children of the Ding family were dressed neatly and sent to Taoist Hefeng.

The truth could not be kept secret in the village, and soon everyone in the village knew that a Taoist priest had come to the village and accepted the eldest granddaughter of the Ding family as his apprentice. Even the little kids in the family were able to learn to read and write with him.

For a moment, everyone was jealous. Of course, they envied the Ding family's children for being able to read and write, but they felt that Ding Xiaocui was becoming a Taoist priest and was just laughing at the joke.

But it wasn't long before they were all slapped in the face.

This little world was not peaceful. From time to time, there were monsters and ghosts causing trouble. However, Tonghua Village was located in a remote area with few people. People had only occasionally heard about them but had never actually seen them.

But ever since Taoist Hefeng came here, people often come to ask him to catch demons and exorcise ghosts.

It was not until this moment that Chen Yuan realized that the weakling in her eyes (Master Hefeng: Hey, are you polite?) actually had a great background.

With 158 disciples, Lingyun Mountain is already a very large sect here, ranking at least among the top five in the United States.

Taoist Priest Hefeng was the best among them and had a great reputation in the entire industry. If he had not happened to be nearby and the Lu family had not cried and protested their son's innocence and promised a large sum of money, they probably would not have been able to hire him.

Shen Yuan grasped the point: "So why are you still so poor?"

The little weakling (???) has been around for so many years, and there must be more than just the Lu family who have promised a large sum of money. Why does he still look penniless, with only a few taels of silver on him, and even the clothes he has worn look like they have been there for many years?

Taoist Hefeng said awkwardly: "Generally, those who offer a large sum of money... are not very clean. I will not accept such a job that damages my virtue."

"Besides, I often encounter injustice when I am out. As a monk, I can't help but help out, so..."

Chen Yuan nodded in understanding. Practicing Taoism is also about cultivating the mind. If you place too much emphasis on money and property, you are doomed to not go far.

Although the spiritual energy in this small world is thin, if he can always stick to his original intention, he may be able to find a way out in the future.

However, this conversation did remind her, so she picked a night and ran to the town to empty the Lu family's warehouse.

Originally, he had no intention of venting his anger on them, but even after this family ran away, Taoist Hefeng was still not satisfied and was still looking for a Taoist priest to get rid of the non-existent evil ghost.

She didn't want to provoke another Taoist priest. After all, not every cultivator was as upright as Hefeng. She might as well cut off their retreat and see what they could do without the money.

The Lu family was indeed very frightened. The entire warehouse was emptied overnight, even the expensive and heavy wooden products were not spared. It did not look like anything man-made.

This time they lost most of their property and suspected that they had provoked a powerful creature. Mrs. Lu was frightened and fell ill. Without waiting to recover, she sold all her family property and moved out of the town as quickly as possible. No one took over the house, and it eventually became a well-known haunted house.

This is a later story. Ever since someone found Taoist Hefeng and asked him to perform a ritual to eliminate the evil, the villagers began to believe that he was really a powerful figure.

At first, Chen Yuan followed him in the name of learning. A few months later, Taoist Hefeng returned to the mountain and someone came to ask for help. She went out on several missions alone and completed them perfectly every time.

The people in the village were really surprised and happy, even the Ding family members were so happy and excited.
