After learning that they were in an unfamiliar place, Jiang Ming had no choice but to bring Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe to the cowherd’s house.
The house was bare, and when she saw people coming, the old lady in the house did not welcome them.
“Why did you bring people over again? Don’t you know that your family can’t afford to eat anymore? Your kindness has caused all the food in the house to disappear!’
The old lady scolded the cowherd. She even took out a feather duster from the side and started hitting him.
The cowherd was beaten up so badly that he could not make a sound. He stood in place and did not move, but he did not say anything about chasing away Jiang Ming and the other two.
Jiang Ming was a little touched. Then, he went forward to stop her. “Ma’am,
we don’t need you to cook anything. We don’t want to eat your food. You can do whatever you want.”
Hearing this, the old lady felt a little awkward. Then, she waved her hand and said, “No. You guys can stay here. We will bring out good food and drinks to entertain you.”
Sikong Wuyuan took out some silver from his pocket and placed it in the old lady’s hand. “Ma’am, you can keep this in case you need it.”
When the old lady saw the silver, her eyes lit up, but she did not say anything.
Jiang Ming had already seen through her needs and felt at ease.
This time, the old lady probably would not say anything and would not hit the cowherd anymore.
Seeing the silver, the cowherd pushed it forward and quickly refused. “We don’t want silver. We just want to help you.”
Sikong Wuyuan quickly explained, “You’ve misunderstood. I just want to repay you. I don’t want to owe you any favors.”
Seeing this, the cowherd did not say anything else.
The old lady took the silver and muttered to herself, “Don’t refuse his kindness. Since he insists on giving it to you, then take it. What if you make him feel uncomfortable?”
The cowherd nodded and turned to Sikong Wuyuan and the others. “I’ll go buy some stuff now.”
“Is there a market nearby?”
Jiang Ming realized something and asked the cowherd.
If there was a market, they could ask about Wutai Mountain.
The cowherd quickly nodded. “Of course there is. Without the market, our village would not be able to survive. Moreover, the market is not far away. It’s just a few steps ahead.”
“l really didn’t expect us to be so close to the market.”
Yuan Hehe was incredulous. He looked at the old lady and the cowherd. “Let’s go buy our own things.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Ming to ask for his opinion.
Jiang Ming nodded. Everything was fine.
Seeing this, Yuan Hehe heaved a sigh of relief.
If someone on their side disagreed, it would really be difficult to handle.
“Shall I take you there? I’m afraid you’ll get lost.”
Seeing that they were determined to go, the cowherd did not stop them and began to be enthusiastic again.
He felt that he had already treated Jiang Ming and the other two badly. He
could not let these three people get lost again. He had to be a good person to the end.
“Then come with us.’
Yuan Hehe immediately agreed when he realized that they did not know the way.
“Go early and come back early. I can’t wait for them to go to the market to buy more things.”
From the looks of it, they would probably have to use their own silver to buy things. At that time, the old lady could also eat something special. “Mother, I think we should use the silver they gave us to buy everything.” The cowherd secretly pulled his mother to the side and whispered.
The old lady protected her silver tightly and glared at the cowherd. “Who knows how much food the three of them will eat? At that time, the silver definitely be used up. What’s in it for us then? I think you can go with them empty-handed. They won’t let you pay!
Seeing his mother’s stance, the cowherd felt that she was a little unreasonable, but there was nothing he could do.
After all, this was his mother who had raised him for more than twenty years.
“Mother, how can you think that? We can’t accept handouts!”
He tried to reason with his mother.
His mother was furious, and her hair stood on end.
“l raised you so with so much difficulty, and you talk to me like this? You have to listen to me. These people can’t eat and drink for free. If they do, chase them out!”
She snorted coldly and turned around to walk shakily into the inner room.
Jiang Ming and the others finally realized that her legs were crippled. They simply went forward and said, “We will pay for everything. Just follow me.” “How can this be? You’ve already been good enough to us.”
The cowherd was unwilling and insisted on getting the silver back from his mother.
The old lady made up her mind and turned back to her room. The door closed with a loud bang, not giving the cowherd any chance to continue.
Sikong Wuyuan also rushed over to smooth things over. “We still have important matters to attend to. It’s alright. Let the old lady take the silver away. It was meant for her anyway.”
“My mother has made a fool of herself.”
The cowherd said a few words awkwardly and finally lowered his head resentfully.
He really could not raise his head.
Yuan Hehe put his arm around his neck and chuckled. “What are you talking about? Just take us to the market. We’ll take the money as our travel expenses.”
The cowherd did not say anything else, He silently led them to the entrance of the market.
This was a small market. There were not many stalls, but they had all the basics. The people inside were also very enthusiastic.
Jiang Ming strolled around for a while and saw an old woman who looked kind. He walked over and asked, “Ma’am, do you know what’s going on in Wutai Mountain?”
The old woman’s expression changed when she heard this. “Why are you asking about Wutai Mountain?” she asked curiously. “Aren’t you asking for trouble?”
These words made no sense. Jiang Mings eyes were confused.
“What do you mean by asking for trouble? Ma’am, did we say something wrong?”
The old woman had a sly look on her face.
“Do you think that this village is just an ordinary village? In fact, the people inside are basically not good people.”
Her words happened to be heard by the cowherd who was strolling around. He was instantly angered and went forward to hit the old woman.
“What nonsense are you talking about, old woman? The people in our village are all very kind. How can they not be good people? There are indeed bad people in there, but we can’t generalize, right?” “I’m telling the truth!” The old woman snorted coldly..
