Mysterious World Tour

"Muyu, what are you talking about? What old man is here?"

"Nothing. Tan Mo didn't mean to explain in detail. He changed the subject casually: "What is the father of Fat-headed Fish doing here? It's better to ask his son to go down the mountain to talk about his wife. What are you doing to me? "

When Ge Xiaoluo and Ge Xiaogu heard this, they shook their heads quickly, and then Ge Xiaoluo said: "Who would marry a fat-headed fish, who is black and fat, unless the girl is blind."

"That's right," Ge Xiaogu said in support. The fat-headed fish often bullied him by relying on his weight advantage. Of course, he could slander him now.

Tan Mo looked at the two young novice monks with a dull face and said nothing.

He just changed the topic, and the two brothers took the topic and flew away...

Seeing Tan Mo's appearance, Ge Xiaogu realized what they were here for, so he quickly said: "His father is looking for you, it seems he is here to ask for a debt."

"Ask me for a debt? When did I owe him money?" Tan Mo touched his bald head and was very puzzled. Let alone him, he was the young novice monk of the Tan family before he traveled through time. He had never gone down the mountain. Why? Maybe he has a debt relationship with his father, the butcher?

But since everyone else is here and Bai Guzi calls him over again, he will go over there. If you want to see the Tan family wiped out and try to make a fortune, then there is no way!

Because he has no money and is so poor.

The inner courtyard of Lotus Temple is already close to the top of the mountain. The outer courtyard is close to the foot of the mountain, and the surrounding environment is also relatively flat. This is convenient for people down the mountain to offer incense and to take care of these young novice monks.

I don't know if it was due to the cultivation of spiritual roots, but Tan Mo has been extremely energetic since he woke up, as if he had taken some powerful tonic.

Walking like flying all the way.

Ge Xiaogu and Ge Xiaoluo failed to catch up with Tan Mo and were thrown a long way by him.

The young monks in the outer courtyard were chanting sutras, and the sound was like the sound of reading loudly. However, compared with the crisp sound of reading, the sound of chanting sutras all sounded like difficult-to-pronounce syllables.

Most of the novice monks can't read. They chant sutras and just remember the pronunciation.

Listening to it from morning to night, and being hungry before you learn it, naturally you learn quickly.

Tan Mo's passing by had alarmed many novice monks. Naturally, they all recognized "Tan Mo". Now Tan Mo had not appeared for seven days, and the news of Tan Mo being admitted to the inner courtyard had already spread throughout the outer courtyard. These young novices all looked at Tan Mo with envy.

In their view, being admitted to the inner courtyard means they no longer have to worry about being driven down the mountain when they reach the age of fourteen.

At Lotus Temple, you can enjoy three meals a day.

If you go down the mountain, you will have to worry about your stomach all day long.

Most of these young novice monks grew up hungry. Coming to Lotus Temple may be the first time in their lives that they are full. After tasting the feeling of fullness, how can they be willing to leave such a life?

Tan Mo had the route of the outer courtyard in his mind. Although it was his first time to visit some places, relevant pictures appeared in his mind as soon as he walked through them, making him familiar with them.

Soon, Tan Mo found the white bones with a horse-like face.

It was in a monk's house where guests were being entertained.

In addition to the white bones, there is also a strong man wearing burlap clothes. This strong man is very burly, sitting there like a bear, but this strong man is extremely reserved at this moment, his rough face carefully looking left and right, his two big hands full of calluses look like I was very uneasy and put it on the table in front of me. It seemed that I was afraid of dirtying the table, so I quickly took it off and put it on my lap.

It's just that the pants were all covered in dust. As soon as he put his hand on it, a burst of black dust immediately came up, which made Bai Guzi frown slightly, but he didn't say anything.

This time, the strong man became more reserved.

Tan Mo walked in from the outside and saw all this clearly. With a dull face, he clasped his hands together, nodded to the two of them and saluted, and then said: "Senior brother, donor."

"Don't dare to take it, don't take it, Master Tan!" the strong man said quickly.

When Bai Guzi saw Tan Mo coming, he nodded in response: "This is Donor Zhu, a butcher in the town at the foot of the mountain. You should have some impression. He has delivered meat to your family several times."

"Yes, yes, that's it." Fathead Fish's father, Zhu Butcher, quickly took over the conversation, "I met you, Master Tan, once. I don't know if you have any impression. Once, your father was not satisfied with the meat I gave him and wanted to pay less. , I started to argue because I didn’t like it, and then your father asked the workers to kick me out.”

When Tan Mo heard this, he seemed to understand that before he traveled through time, Tan Daudao and Fat-headed Fish, two little brats whose personalities should not conflict with each other, would be at odds with each other.

Are you avenging his father with the fat-headed fish?

So Tan Mo nodded. He actually didn't have this memory in his head, but he heard that Zhu Butcher said it in a serious way, so he took it as real.

Seeing Tan Mo nodding, Bai Guzi continued: "Butcher Zhu sent meat to your family several times after you went up the mountain. Your father always paid once a month. Then, this month There was an accident, and your father’s meat money from last month has not been given to Butcher Zhu.”

Tan Mo understood now that he was really asking for a debt.

However, he really has no money!

How could he, an eight-year-old novice, get the money?

Therefore, Tan Mo had to confess to Bai GuZi that he had no money, and then frantically hinted to Bai GuZi that he wanted to borrow some money from him.

Bai Guzi nodded after listening, as if he understood what Tan Mo meant, but he didn't take out the money to give to Tan Mo. Instead, he looked at Zhu the butcher and asked, "How much silver does his family owe you, my junior brother?"

In Luowan Town, the silver and copper coins of the Qing court are still very useful. Some other silver dollars from other places can also be circulated here, but the silver notes printed by some anti-kings cannot be used here.

"A total of fifteen taels of silver. If you give copper coins, you have to give twenty-five taels of silver." Zhu the butcher raised his eyebrows, knowing that there was a chance, so he hurriedly said. He came to collect the debt, and he didn't expect Tan Mo to give money. He had already found out that Tan Mo donated all the family property of the Tan family to the Lotus Temple, so his purpose was very clear, he came to the monks of the Lotus Temple to ask for money!

Bai Gu Zi was stunned when he heard this, and then blurted out: "This copper coin is worthless again?"

"Yes, a while ago, a senior official was defeated in the war and fled to Luowan Town with his people. A lot of silver and copper coins suddenly poured into the town. Not only are copper coins worthless, but silver is also worthless than before. Otherwise, I wouldn't ask for fifteen taels of silver." Zhu the butcher couldn't help sighing after hearing this.

In this chaotic world, it's hard to sell the meat in his hands!

He also has to worry about being blackmailed and robbed!

Bai Gu Zi sighed and said, "The abbot said that this account will be directly charged to the Lotus Temple. Together with the money for the three clean meats in the temple last month, I will give it to you together."

"Thank you Master Lianhua! Thank you Master Bai Gu Zi! And thank you Young Master Tan!" When Zhu the butcher heard that he could get the money, he hurriedly thanked them one by one.

Tan Mo then clasped his hands together and returned the greeting.

After Bai Gu Zi sent Zhu the butcher away, he said to Tan Mo: "Junior brother, my senior brother said that this money is not for you, but he is lending it to you. You have to pay it back, and you have to pay interest. Now that silver has depreciated, the interest rate has to be changed and raised a bit."

Tan Mo: "..."

Can he say a swear word to calm down?
