Talk about the world of mortals in detail

When Zhong Xingwen strode out of the county government office and walked home along the street, he stood in the backlight of West Street and looked over there from a distance.

Hui Mian held one paw on the old man's ear, stood on tiptoe and looked at Zhong Xingwen leaving, and couldn't help but sigh.

"This Zhong Baotou's aura has also changed. Even though he is a mortal and his martial arts is not outstanding, he is still worthy of admiration!"

"Of course!"

Yu Weng responded and nodded slightly as he looked at the retreating figure of the public official over there.

Over there, Zhong Xingwen hurried home. Before he got home, he saw his wife and children already looking at him outside the courtyard gate.

Seeing Zhong Xingwen return, his wife was slightly relieved, and then she and her son came out to greet him, which also made the former slightly surprised.

"What happened to you today? Are you all out?"

"Also, I've been waiting here for a while. You should have come back long ago!"

The wife complained, and the son even added.

"Dad, you should have come back more than a quarter of an hour ago. Mom thought you were possessed by a ghost."

"Hush! Children must not talk nonsense!"

The woman covered the child's mouth. It was better not to talk about ghosts. Then she looked at her husband with a look of relief on her face.

"It's good to come back. Neighbors are spreading rumors that the county government office was haunted last night, and our rooster crowed together with the roosters in the neighborhood in the middle of the night last night. It was a bit scary."

What the woman said was scary did not mean that all the roosters crow. In fact, when many roosters crow, righteousness rises and evil spirits are eliminated. Even if many people are awakened, they will not feel afraid.

What the woman said was scary was because she heard what the neighbors said during the day and later realized she was scared. Now she felt more at ease when she saw her husband.

Of course Zhong Xingwen could feel this, and could understand his wife's worries. He reached out and hugged his wife's shoulders, making the woman's face feel hot.

"It's outside."

When the family of three returned to the courtyard, Zhong Xingwen explained with a smile.

"There was indeed something going on at the county office last night, but it wasn't as evil as what was rumored outside. Besides, wasn't it okay for me?"

A smile appeared on the wife's face, and her son reached out to grab the knife to play with, but Zhong Xingwen easily dodged it. Everything was the same as in the past. The knife belongs to the person holding it and the person holding it wears a loose robe.

"It's true that your lords in the yamen have stayed up all night and they won't let you go home early!"

"Hahahaha, the county captain promised me to return early, but I still have some official business to deal with. After all, you have given me some leave for a while. I have to let my colleagues help me with some of the things at hand!"

"Have a holiday?"

The woman had already returned to the kitchen door and started picking celery. She was shocked when she heard this.

"Is this really strange? It's not a holiday for the Chinese New Year?"

"Hey, not only is the holiday off, but it's also a long one. I've already informed several adults and many colleagues that it will last at least a month. I just took this opportunity to go out and visit an old senior and learn a few tricks from him. !”

The woman frowned.

"I'm going out. Can't you accompany me back to my parents' house first? I haven't been back for a long time."

Zhong Xingwen had already taken off the chain hanging from his waist, put down the Liuhe hat on his head, walked over and squatted in front of his wife to help pick vegetable leaves.

"Of course it's possible, by the way, look!"

While talking, Zhong Xingwen took out a money bag like a magic trick and handed it to his wife, looking at the money bag.

The woman put down the dish and picked it up with both hands. It was so heavy that it felt like it weighed more than seven or eight pounds. It was obviously filled with money.

"You don't know how."

The wife weighed the money bag in her hand, subconsciously looked at the children who had come over to help pick vegetables, and then looked at her husband. There were some things she couldn't ask.

She knew that today was definitely not the day when the county government paid out salaries, so where did her husband come from with the money?

"Ms. sir, you."

Husbands and wives often influence each other. It is said that those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black. Women sometimes complain about their husbands, but they know what kind of person Zhong Xingwen is. At this moment, they really don’t know how to speak.

Zhong Xingwen didn't quite understand it at first, but then he realized it and laughed heartily.

"Hahahahahaha. Madam, where do you want to go? Look!"

As he spoke, Zhong Xingwen opened the money bag directly. There were not only a lot of copper coins in it, but also silver. There were a lot of official silver bars, and there were two ingots that looked relatively large!

"Madam, these are all rewards from the county government. What happened last night was a bit tiring. There are more than one hundred and twenty taels of silver in them!"

"So much. This, this is worth your six or seven years of salary, right?"

"Hahahaha, so, if you sit upright and behave upright, you will still get wealth, receive with peace of mind, and spend with peace of mind. Alas, why are you looking so miserable?"

Zhong Xingwen said this, and his wife finally smiled

"Mom and Dad, can I eat a lot of candied haws?"

"Hey, candied haws don't matter. I'll accompany your mother back to her parents' house this time, and dad will buy you candy paintings!"

"Oh! That's great, that's great~~~"

The children jumped on Zhong Xingwen's back and laughed, and his wife also went to hide the money with a smile.

Zhong Xingwen kept his balance and stretched out his hands to protect the noisy children behind him, while looking at his wife's back, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Yu Weng and Hui Mian were outside the courtyard at the moment, but Mr. Zhong inside didn't know.

Glancing through the crack in the door, the white-haired old man didn't bother him. He just admired this kind of people and would take a second look when he met them.

Even though there are many dangers and filth in the world, there are also many people like Zhong Xingwen. The emotions of all living beings in the pure and turbid world make up this mortal world, and there are many possibilities.

"Sir, to tell you the truth, I was quite nervous last night, for fear that Lord Beihai Dragon would come down and cause trouble."

Hui Mian said this, but before Yu Weng could answer, he continued talking on his own.

"But thinking about it again, as for the black dragon, although he has affected this matter, he can at most treat it as a game that he glances at occasionally and won't care about it."

Yu Weng smiled.

"For Beihai Dragon Lord, this is an insignificant game, but some people's lives are filled with turbulence and prosperity!"

——

In the evening, the Zhong family had a meal at home. Today's dinner was quite sumptuous, and Zhong Xingwen also drank a little wine.

Although his current body is not suitable for drinking, Zhong Xingwen had something on his mind and felt proud, so he drank a few more drinks.

"Zhong Baotou~~~Zhong Baotou~~~"

A slightly familiar but vague voice came from outside the courtyard. Zhong Xingwen looked outside the door and stood up.

"I gonna go see!"

Zhong Xingwen walked quickly to the courtyard, looked at his wife and children who were looking over there, and then opened the courtyard door. The light from the far side of the living room illuminated the courtyard door and it was not obvious, but the people outside the door were really easy to recognize.

"Taoist Master Xue? Why are you here? Shouldn't you be recuperating in the county government office?"

Zhong Xingwen was shocked. Taoist Xue couldn't get out of bed during the day, so he walked out now?

Taoist Xue was ill and didn't look good, but he still came here at this time. After hearing Zhong Xingwen's words, he didn't explain too much, waved his hand and said straight to the point.

"Captain Zhong, I know what you are going to do. Pindao does have difficulty moving, but he must come to see you, otherwise you should leave tomorrow, right?"

"I"

"No need to say more, here you go!"

Taoist Xue took out a few things from his pocket, including a small sword made of copper coins wrapped with red rope, a few charms, and some banknotes.

"Here, Taoist Priest, what are you doing?"

Others are easy to understand, Qian Zhongxingwen didn't want to take it, but Taoist Xue was obviously physically worse than Zhong Xingwen, but he was very strong, so he forced it into his hand.

"Take it, I'm telling you a few words, please listen carefully!"

Zhong Xingwen didn't dare to neglect and went over.

"Although the evil ghost was killed by Pindao yesterday, the coexistence of ghosts and monsters yesterday was unusual. Pindao suspects that even if you find the place here, there might be another evil ghost waiting for you."

"What?"

Zhong Xingwen was shocked. How could he deal with the evil ghost alone?

"Don't rush to arrest the head. This is not certain. Moreover, even if there is one, it cannot be compared with yesterday's. It is just an ordinary ghost. These few things are enough to keep you safe! It's just..."

Taoist Xue paused before continuing.

"It's just that maybe the ghosts over there can communicate. If you can see them appearing, see if you can communicate. If not, save yourself!"

"As for this banknote, it's just a little bit of my heart. I'll leave some for flowers on the road and leave the rest to my wife and children!"

Zhong Xingwen stuffed the banknote back into Taoren Xue's pocket without looking at it.

"Zhong has a lot of rewards himself, and there is no need for the Taoist Priest to give them any more. Speaking of which, this is the responsibility of my public servants. On the contrary, Taoist Priest, you are the one who intervened in it. Why do I need you to give me money?"

Zhong Xingwen spoke in a heavier tone, showing a sense of being insulted, and then bowed again.

"Taoist Priest, please go back to recuperate. Don't make your injuries worse. Zhong will take you back to the county office. You can go home if you want!"

"No, no, no. Pindao has no intention of looking down on Captor Zhong. Okay, Pindao will go back by himself. Please take care of Captor Zhong!"

Taoist Xue also saluted Zhong, and the two straightened up and smiled at each other. The former also turned and left. Although his steps were not very steady, his speed did not seem too slow.

Zhong Xingwen smiled and shook his head. The slightly heavy mood at the dinner table just now actually relaxed a lot. Taoist priest Xue's special visit was enough to move him.

"This Taoist priest is indeed a strange person. He consumes so much but can still move so quickly."

Muttering, Zhong Xingwen also walked back to the courtyard, closed the door, and then walked towards the living room. His wife inside was already asking.

"Ms. sir, who is it?"

"Oh, it's nothing. A friend passed by and said it."

Zhong Xingwen paused mid-sentence, suddenly reached out and touched his arms, and took out a few banknotes from the diagonal seam of his clothes. He looked at them in the light of the lamp and saw that there were more than two hundred taels in total!

He walked quickly back to the courtyard gate, opened the door and looked around, but there was no trace of Taoist Xue anywhere!
