Chapter 185 Cause and Effect

Early in the morning, Datou got up and saw that his wife had changed into formal clothes and prepared breakfast.

"If you get off work early in the evening, go pick up the children. There are several companies coming to the hotel to hold meetings, so there is a lot to do." Since she started working again, Miao Ruifang's mental state has improved a lot.

Datou nodded: "I'll pick up the children and I'll cook dinner tonight."

"Don't cook. How can you eat with your cooking skills? I'll cook when I come back. You are really hungry. Let's eat some biscuits first."

Datou smiled and said, "How about we go out to eat tonight?"

"No, I've bought all the dishes for today." His wife is still so frugal.

"You are also very busy at work. How about we hire a nanny?"

"I've only been working for a few days. Look how much I've burned you," his wife was unhappy. "While we are still young, we should earn more and save more. There will be more places to spend money in the future."

Looking at his wife and children at the dinner table, Datou felt that he was the happiest person in the world.

First he drove his kids to school, then he sent his wife to work. When he arrived at the bureau, Datou was a few minutes late. He met a leader in the elevator and gave him a few words about labor discipline.

In fact, this leader was also late.

Back at his workstation, a colleague nicknamed Glasses came over and said to Datou mysteriously, "Have you heard that Tangkuai is going to be promoted to team leader?"

Tangkuai, a second-level Zhongqing (Qingxiu), joined the Dark Star Bureau three years ago and has now become a team leader.

Datou has been in the Dark Star Bureau for nearly twenty years and is still an agent.

"Very good, Tangkuai is a good person." Datou nodded.

Another colleague, nicknamed Baozi, also stepped forward and said, "Brother Ming, I really don't understand. In terms of cultivation and qualifications, she can't compare with you. With her, how can she be the team leader?"

Datou smiled and said, "It's okay, it's good."

Team Chen and Team Xiao both came. The whole team held a regular meeting and everyone was busy with their own work. Datou took time to go to Yuezhou Third Hospital.

He Jiaqing's ward was crowded with medical staff. An important tube inserted into He Jiaqing fell off. The specific reason for the fall is unknown.

The attending physician said to Datou: "I suspect that the patient may have moved, otherwise the tube would not have fallen off."

Datou looked at He Jiaqing lying on the bed and said to the attending physician: "It may be an accident."

"Should I tell your captain about this?"

Datou nodded: "I will report to the captain in a while."

He did not report.

He only wrote in the work log of the day that everything was normal.

Doing this is risky.

But according to Datou's experience, generally no one would pay attention to this matter, and he could bear this risk.

...

Li Banfeng found a piece of wasteland in Kucai Village, and there were wastelands like this everywhere.

He planted a bag of seeds on this land, which was given to Li Banfeng by the farmer from Laobing Village. After planting, he could harvest grain in the same month.

The land in Kucai Village is barren, and it must be rested for a year after planting one crop, but at least the sixty people in Kucai Village have enough food to eat.

Next year, we will plant in another place. Kucai Village is very large, so large that Li Banfeng walked for several days and thousands of miles, but he couldn't find the edge of Kucai Village.

The old teapot said that Kucai Village borders all places in Pro Province. Li Banfeng checked the map given to him by Manager Feng, but he couldn't find the location of Kucai Village at all.

What kind of existence is this place? Li Banfeng still hasn't figured it out.

Don't think about things that you can't figure out, there are many things to do right now.

The ascetics in Kucai Village now all respect Li Banfeng. Li Banfeng carried a Tang sword and walked around each household. All the ascetics followed Li Banfeng to farm.

The ascetics could endure hardship and work diligently. Especially when they saw Li Banfeng take out the teapot, everyone was very motivated.

After finishing the farm work, those who lived nearby went back, and those who lived far away set up tents and spent the night next to the farmland.

Qian Jiafeng and Ou Haidong returned to the same home. The bitter mother-in-law did not pursue what happened that night because it was not their fault.

But since that night, they have become much bolder and have completely forgotten the rules.

There are others who are bolder than them, such as the middle-aged woman.

She still does not trust people with penises, but she likes penises.

At night, Li Banfeng gave everyone wine to drink. This time, he did not mix it with porridge. Whoever wants to drink it can take it.

Anyway, the matter was caused by this big bearded man. If the bitter mother-in-law wants to blame someone, she will blame the big bearded man.

Li Banfeng didn't care. Anyway, the bitter mother-in-law couldn't kill anyone. As long as he was driven out of Kucai Village, the matter would be perfect.

The next morning, three new people came to the white food restaurant and prepared to enter the Taoist sect.

Li Banfeng rushed into the restaurant and beat them all away with a punch and kick.

The uncle who served the food shrank in the kitchen and didn't dare to make a sound.

Today, the uncle wore a red cotton jacket.

In the afternoon, everyone worked in the fields, and Li Banfeng painted on the side.

Not to mention, his painting skills have really improved. The general outline is good, and the details of several workers are also satisfactory.

Chu Er walked up to Li Banfeng, took a look at the painting, and said in surprise: "You can draw? Can you draw a picture for me?"

Li Banfeng shook his head and said: "Your family doesn't lack painters."

"Just draw one for me. I have helped you a lot these days!"

"Okay, let's draw now?"

Chu Er shook his head and said: "Wait until the evening, I'll tidy up."

At night, I went to Chu Er's residence. Chu Er was still wearing a coarse cotton coat, without makeup, but she washed her face and combed her hair.

She sat upright in the yard, and Li Banfeng took the drawing board and carefully outlined the lines.

"Does my face look bad without makeup?" Chu Er was a little nervous.

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "It looks good."

"Am I a little stupid sitting like this?"

"Not stupid at all, just don't move."

"Should I..." Before he finished speaking, Chu Er shivered and quickly stood up.

Li Banfeng looked back and saw that the bitter mother-in-law was standing at the door.

As if he had expected him to come, Li Banfeng put down his pen and paper and smiled at Granny Ku: "Are you going to practice again today?"

Chu Er quickly explained: "Granny, listen to me, I asked him to draw..."

"Girl, go back to the house and wait, I'll come to you later," Granny Ku sent Chu Er away and said to Li Banfeng, "Come with me."

Li Banfeng followed Granny Ku all the way to the wilderness. Granny Ku said to Li Banfeng: "Do you know that there are not many cultivators in Kucai Village?"

"I know." Li Banfeng nodded.

"Do you know that if you keep making trouble like this, this Taoist sect will be extinct?"

"Really?" Li Banfeng smiled, "If it can really be extinct, I am willing to keep making trouble here."

The bitter old woman frowned slightly and said, "How dare you say such things in front of me. Do you know that there are always people who have to suffer in this world?"

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "I know, but you have to live a happy life."

"Do you know that people who have never suffered don't understand what happiness is?"

"I know, but I still have to live a happy life."

"Do you know that practicing in suffering is also the right way?"

"It is the right way, but people have to live a happy life after all."

When the word "enjoy" is mentioned, Li Banfeng's face is always smiling.

Looking at Li Banfeng's smile, the bitter mother-in-law thought of someone: "Do you know Feng Daiku?"

Li Banfeng nodded: "I have met her once."

"Her name contains the word bitter, but she hates this word the most. Later, someone called her Feng Koudai, but she was not angry. Someone called her Feng Kudai, but she was still not angry.

As long as there is no bitter word, she is willing to agree to anything you call her. You and her are a bit similar in temperament."

Li Banfeng sneered: "She herself is unwilling to suffer, but she made me suffer a lot."

"Has she harmed you?"

"It depends on how you say it. When you count it all, I am not at a disadvantage."

The bitter mother-in-law sighed: "It is cause and effect after all. Do you know why you came here?"

"Are you talking about Kucai Village?"

The bitter mother-in-law shook her head.

Li Banfeng understood.

At first, the bitter mother-in-law was worried that Li Banfeng would leave because she thought he was leaving Prozhou.

When she asked him why he came, he was also talking about Prozhou.

"I can't explain why I came, but it's good to stay here. It's good whether you suffer or enjoy happiness."

"Well, I sent you off once, and now I will send you off again." The bitter old woman grabbed Li Banfeng's clothes and took him to a wasteland. Amidst the wind and sand, Li Banfeng saw a dark fog.

This is the edge of the new land.

The bitter old woman looked at Li Banfeng and said, "Do you remember how many times I have tempered you?"

"Three times." Li Banfeng was beaten three times in total, and he would never forget this.

"This cause and effect is over here. Blessings and sufferings are born together. What you owe must be repaid. I should have asked you to pay more and pay more harshly, but if you continue to make trouble, I'm afraid my door will really be gone."

My door.

She never seemed to mention hard training.

Li Banfeng blinked and said, "Big sister, can we speak more directly?"

The bitter mother-in-law frowned and said, "You call me big sister? Do you know who I am?"

Li Banfeng thought for a long time: "I can't explain it clearly."

The bitter mother-in-law sighed, "Take care, young man."

Blessings and sufferings go hand in hand.

Li Banfeng walked into the depths of the thick fog, turned around, saw the bitter mother-in-law still there, and said, "Take care, second aunt."

Hearing this second aunt, the bitter mother-in-law couldn't help laughing.

"Second aunt, blessings and sufferings go hand in hand, let the bitter cultivator enjoy happiness occasionally, and you won't suffer any loss."

"Bastard, if you know that blessings and sufferings go hand in hand, you must not let this sect become extinct."

Li Banfeng didn't understand, smiled at the bitter mother-in-law, and left.

Looking at Li Banfeng's back, the bitter mother-in-law sighed.

Cause and effect can't be cut off after all, you kid ate a bitter vegetable of mine,

I met you first, you have a hard life, you should be a member of my sect.

My door is a bit difficult. Most of the practitioners died halfway. For many years, no high-level people have been promoted, but they are called hard practitioners by others.

I finally met a person with a tough life like you, but it's a pity that you are afraid of suffering and refuse to come.

Is there anyone with a tough life?

...

The bitter old lady returned to Chu Er's residence. Chu Er was looking at the unfinished sketch in a trance.

"He's gone." The bitter old lady said calmly.

Chu Er shuddered and held the drawing paper tightly in his hand.

"Does it hurt?" The bitter old lady asked.

"It hurts," Chu Er nodded, and his hand unconsciously covered his heart, "It hurts a lot."

"It hurts, it's right, you know the suffering in your heart, and your cultivation can be improved."

Chu Er couldn't help crying: "It hurts too much."

"It's not enough to feel heartache, you have to feel pain in your body," the bitter old woman pulled a stool over, picked up a stick of firewood, and shouted angrily, "Lie here!"

Chu Er sobbed twice and lay on the stool.

"Bitch! I told you to seduce a man!

You couldn't keep the man after you seduced him, and you made the village a mess. Do you feel pain now?"

The bitter old woman swung the firewood stick and beat Chu Er's peach violently.

Chu Er gritted his teeth, looked at the drawing paper, and tears kept falling.

...

Li Banfeng walked more than ten miles in the new land and gradually found his position.

Comparing with the map of Mr. Yao, Li Banfeng quickly found the route back to Lanyang Village.

It turned out that the two places were not far away. If they walked faster, they could walk back in less than a day.

Li Banfeng was delighted and was about to speed up his pace when he suddenly saw a huge body in front of him, lying on a tree and eating leaves.

Is this a caterpillar?

Could it be...

No, there is more than one caterpillar.

Two?

Three?

Five?

Li Banfeng didn't dare to count.

This is Kucai Village, the new land of Kucai Village.

After the ascetic woman died, if she was unwilling to reincarnate, she would become a lady of moth!

So many moth ladies...

Li Banfeng thought about life carefully. He felt that what the bitter mother-in-law said made sense. He wanted to go back to Kucai Village to live for a few more days.

"This man is so handsome." A moth found Li Banfeng.

"Look at that beard. I like men like this the most."

Li Banfeng tore off his beard and put it in his pocket: "I don't have a beard."

"Oh, it's more handsome without a beard!"

Li Banfeng ran away, and a group of moth ladies chased after him.

...

In Lanyang Village, Li Banfeng didn't come back for more than ten days, and Ma Wu was so anxious that he was running around.

Did Lao Qi have an accident?

Could it be related to Chu Er?

I was careless. I should follow Chu Er and send her out of the new land!

It's useless to send her out. She can still find her back.

Why is this guy so persistent!

Just when he was anxious, he suddenly heard Xiao Chuanzi report: "Master Wu, Master Qi is back, followed by two moths, he can't run anymore!"

Ma Wu was startled, rushed out of the house, rode on Yan Zi, and said to Xiao Chuanzi: "Quick, lead the way!"

Yan Zi said: "Little Lang, don't panic, I can deal with those two bitches by myself!"

Ma Wu asked Xiao Chuanzi: "Has Master Qi returned to his own plot?"

"Yes!"

"Sprinkle blood, sprinkle blood can stop moths!"

"Sprinkle! It's useless, the local god is not moving!"

PS: How can the local god not move?

Chapter 8, at the station, Ban Feng bought instant noodles from an old lady, Ban Feng called her Second Aunt.
