When Xiao Ziyang returned to the inn, it was just after the hour, and there were no guests in the inn. Xiao Ziyang sat down, ordered a few side dishes, a pot of wine, called Xiao Er to him, and carefully asked about his Lao Junguan.

According to Xiao Er, Lao Junguan was the private property of the largest medicine collection gang leader in Nanba County many years ago. After the gang leader died in a fire, his family was also cut down by the opponents. Now the only descendant of the gang leader is his nephew, that is, the shopkeeper of Zhou of the inn that Xiao Ziyang invested in on the way here.

It is said that the shopkeeper Zhou is now the owner of this old Junguan, but firstly, this Laojunguan has long been abandoned, and secondly, the shopkeeper of Zhou is now ruined, with no money and no power, that is, if he wants to inherit the old Junguan, I am afraid he will not be allowed.

So now Lao Junguan is considered a borderless land, as long as he takes care of everything in this county, it shouldn't be difficult to include Lao Junguan under his name.

Next, Xiao Ziyang asked about the situation in the county, and then the account, when Xiao Er was about to leave, Xiao Ziyang suddenly stopped him.

"Little second brother, Poor Dao went to Laojunguan this morning and walked around, and found that there seemed to be people living there, I don't know who they are. ”

"Don't hide it from the guest officer, there are indeed some little beggars living in Laojunguan, alas, they are all poor children. ”

"Little beggars! By the way, there is one thing that has always wondered why there are so many little beggars in this little town of Nanba. ”

"These children are the children of those who have had an accident in the mountains, especially those who come from other places, these people are desperate to come to Namba to collect medicine, as soon as the man in the family dies, the woman has no support, and the good-hearted will take the child to live a hard life, and the ruthless will abandon the child and remarry. ”

Xiao Er is a middle-aged man in his forties, and he can't help but sigh when he says this. "I have heard of several children in Laojunguan, a total of five children, led by a child named Zhao Erzhu, this child himself is only thirteen years old, but he takes care of four children younger than him, the youngest one is only three years old, alas, pitiful, Erzhu, this child is stubborn, refused to listen to the words of the beggars in the city, was driven out of the county, I heard that he settled in Laojunguan. ”

"Are the children that Zhao Erzhu is bringing his younger brother?" Xiao Ziyang asked.

When he was seven years old, he came to Nanba County with his father, and the next year his father died in the mountains, and was torn apart by a blind bear, and his death was miserable!"

"I heard that his mother had died when he was three years old, and that there was no one left in his old family, so he became an orphan and one of the little beggars in the town of Namba. The medicine pickers in Nanba County have an unwritten rule that as long as there is surplus food at home, they will give these orphans a bite to eat, so this child barely survived by eating 100 family meals. ”

"Some orphans were abandoned when they were too young to take care of themselves, and at first there were good Samaritans who adopted them, but then no one took care of them, and many children died like this. ”

"Erzhu, this child has a good heart, he was only eight years old and began to adopt and take care of those children who are too young to take care of themselves, he has adopted at least seven or eight over the years, and now only four have survived. ”

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, well-wishers will have good rewards. Xiao Ziyang said thoughtfully.

"Yes, yes, such a good child must have a great future when he grows up. Xiao Er echoed.

Xiao Ziyang chatted with Xiao Er for a few words, then walked out of the inn and walked in the direction of the county office.

Xiliang country Chongdao, Taoist priests in Xiliang quite a status, Xiao Ziyang relied on this identity to visit the officials of Nanba County, a lot of silver sprinkled out; and then visited the largest clan patriarchs in the city, also sent a lot of silver, the most Lu even went to the inn of the shopkeeper of Zhou, with ten taels of silver to get the transfer documents of Lao Junguan.

So Xiao Ziyang turned into a viewer of Lao Junguan. Under Xiao Ziyang's silver bullet offensive, even the entire Fenghe Mountain became his private property.

Xiao Ziyang also spent money to buy 100 acres of land at the foot of Fenghe Mountain as the property of Laojunguan.

In the past few days when Xiao Ziyang has been working up and down, the news that he has a lot of money has spread.

One night, Xiao Ziyang was blocked in a small alley, there were naturally no masters in this extremely remote small city, Xiao Ziyang didn't make a move, just threw the long knife in his hand into the arms of the leader with a little force, and pressed the person to the ground at that time, spitting blood. Then Xiao Ziyang picked up the long knife and walked away in the stunned eyes of a group of thieves.

The next day, rumors spread that the young Taoist priest from outside was a martial arts master and that the long knife in his hand weighed hundreds of catties. Since then, no one has dared to trouble Xiao Ziyang.

On this day, Xiao Ziyang took a group of carpenters and plasterers and walked towards Lao Junguan. As soon as Xiao Ziyang walked into the mountain gate, he saw several children, who were building a fire in the middle of the yard, roasting a few small fish. Xiao Ziyang knew that this was the group of children of Zhao Erzhu that Xiao Er said.

When the children saw a group of people suddenly breaking into the temple, they all looked this way vigilantly.

Xiao Ziyang took two steps forward and looked at the oldest of the children. Although Xiao Er said that the child was thirteen years old, he looked only the height of a ten-year-old child, his body was extremely thin, his clothes were dirty and torn, revealing patches of dirty skin, his face was full of dirt, and he could no longer see his true face, and the only eyes that were exposed were very bright. Seeing Xiao Ziyang coming forward, he hurriedly protected several other children behind him.

He looked at Xiao Ziyang fixedly, the light in his eyes made Xiao Ziyang's heart tighten for no reason, in the eyes of this thirteen-year-old child, Xiao Ziyang actually saw a kind of indifference after seeing through life and death.

"You are Zhao Erzhu?"

"You know me?" his voice was very clear, and there was no trace of panic or fear in his voice.

"Immeasurable Tianzun, Poor Dao heard the little second brother of Piaoxianglou in the town talk about you, Poor Dao wants to rebuild the Laojun Temple, recast the Laojun Golden Body, and now there is a lack of a few sweeping children in the view, so you can stay." ”

"Do you have anything to eat as a child?" Zhao Erzhu looked at Xiao Ziyang nervously, and after hearing Xiao Ziyang's mouth say something, several children immediately cheered.

Xiao Ziyang smiled and looked at the happy children for a while, then turned around and instructed the craftsmen and a few hired old mothers to clean up a few rainless wings and set up the pot stove.

He also instructed an old mother to take a few children down the mountain to take a bath, and gave the old mother a piece of broken silver and instructed the children to make a few clothes.
