From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 59 Mother's Inquiry

After the middle-aged woman Ciyun left the side hall, she should have returned to the main hall of the Taoist temple.

However, there is only a few steps between the main hall and this side hall.

When Taoist Lingxu was first beaten by Jiang Yao and his men, he was crying for his parents and making quite a lot of noise. But now that he was beaten a little harder, he didn't even have the strength to cry or shout. He only hummed a few words while lying on the ground.

This Taoist priest may look kind at first glance, but since he dared to threaten Jiang Yao and others and said he would kill them, he is definitely not a good person.

Although there were only him and Ciyun in the Taoist temple, who could be sure that he didn't have any helpers in the nearby area?
The main reason why Jiang Yao and his companions were able to knock him down so quickly was because of the bricks thrown by Bingzai. The vicious momentum shocked the Taoist Lingxu and made it impossible for him to organize any effective resistance.

If not, even if Jiang Yao and his men were fighting one against three and had an absolute advantage in numbers, it would certainly not be as easy as it is now to successfully defeat Taoist Lingxu.

After all, none of them were very tall, and they were harassed by Huang Cuicui all night last night, so their bodies were quite weak.

After stopping, they nodded in unison, turned around and walked out of the side hall.

They left immediately after a fight, which was a good habit they developed from previous fights.

There was such a big commotion in the side hall, but Ciyun didn't come over.

As for her calling the police, the possibility is extremely low because people of that generation simply don't have that awareness. In addition, without mobile phones, it is inconvenient to call the police. Is it possible for Ciyun to spend an hour or so running to a nearby town to call the police?
Of course, there is one main reason. The way many public security police do their work these days is a little hard to describe. If we say too much, it may easily lead to some unspeakable terror.

Taking all these reasons into consideration, and since Ciyun was not seen in the Taoist temple hall, the most likely possibility is that she ran away to call for help.

"Uncle Yao, the donation box..."

With quick steps, he walked from the side hall to the main hall outside. After not seeing Ciyun, the soldier prepared to move the merit box away without saying a word.

In his opinion, Jiang Yao had stuffed fifty yuan into the box.

Besides the fifty yuan, the soldier had no idea how much money was in the box, but he would definitely not lose money if he moved the whole box away.

It’s a pity that the box was made of solid wood and seemed to be quite heavy. The soldier looked very tired when carrying it on his shoulders.

Jiang Yao and his companions had no tools and could not open the box in a short time.

"Forget it, Bingzai, just forget about the donation box!"

"Carrying such a thing will only slow down our departure. If Ciyun calls for people to come and stop us, it will not be worth it."

After a brief thought, Jiang Yao looked at Bingzai and gave instructions.

"Okay, the money is yours, Uncle Yao, so take whatever you say!" Since Jiang Yao said so, Bingzai didn't insist.

After all, his physical condition was already quite weak. When he got up in the morning, he couldn't even walk steadily and often fell several times.

After resting for a while and basking in the sun for a long time, he felt better, but that was all.

He was holding his breath when he knocked Taoist Lingxu down with a brick just now.

After stopping, he let out a breath of relief and felt extremely tired. Just walking from the side hall to the main hall, he was already sweating and panting.

The merit box in the Taoist temple is a heavy burden for the soldiers to carry.

Compared with Bingzai, Jiang Yaotong and Gang are slightly better, but not much stronger.

Ignoring the merit box, the few of them hurried down the mountain.

More than ten minutes later, when they stopped a bus heading to the county town and got on it, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The car had just started, and Jiang Yao and his friends looked back through the car window and saw a group of men running down Wulei Mountain. Fortunately, they ran fast, if they were a little bit later, they might have been blocked by the group of men on the mountain.

"This trip to Wulei Mountain was in vain. Taoist Lingxu, that liar, wasted a lot of our time."

"Uncle Yao, what should we do next?"

"What else can we do? Since we can't rely on others, we can only rely on ourselves."

"It shouldn't be dark yet when we get back to the county town by this bus. We still have some time. Wait, I'll give you some money. You should try to buy the things I mentioned before."

"I don't know if there is any result from the information I want to get from Gouzi?"

"After returning to the county town, we will go home first, tell our family members, and then come out directly."

"Don't go home at night. I'll find a hotel and book a room. Everyone should supervise each other and don't sleep. Otherwise, we will be even weaker when we wake up."

……

Sitting in the back row of the bus, several people were talking in low voices.

Before I knew it, an hour or two had passed and I finally arrived at the county station.

Fortunately, Bingzai and Tong Gang's bicycles were still intact and parked nearby, and were not stolen by some thieves.

When Jiang Yao returned home, it was already past three in the afternoon.

"Xiao Yao, did you have a smooth journey to Wulei Mountain? Is the Taoist priest Lingxu in the Taoist temple capable?" Upon seeing Jiang Yao, Yuan Xiuhua, who was sitting at the gate, came up to him immediately and asked with a concerned look on her face.

"Well! It's okay!" Jiang Yao responded casually.

As for the truth of the matter, he was not prepared to tell his mother.

After all, with Yuan Xiuhua's personality, if she knew that Taoist Lingxu was a liar and Jiang Yao and his men beat this guy until he was bleeding, one could not tell how worried she would be.

"That's good, that's good!" Hearing Jiang Yao say this, Yuan Xiuhua was obviously relieved: "Have you had lunch, Xiaoyao? If not, mom will help you get it now."

"I ate something before, so I'm not that hungry now!" After responding, Jiang Yao asked casually, "Mom, who told you that Taoist Lingxu from Wulei Mountain is very capable?"

"Who else could it be? Your aunt and grandmother!" Yuan Xiuhua shrugged and responded, "I heard from her that several wives in their area have been unable to get pregnant."

"As a result, after burning a few sticks of incense at the Wulei Mountain Taoist Temple, Taoist Lingxu performed a few rituals for those girls. Not long after, all of those girls got pregnant..."

After listening to his mother's explanation, Jiang Yao was a little speechless. He seemed to see that the heads of the men in those families were covered with grassland one by one.

If it wasn't his mother who said this, he might have puffed out his chest and replied, "It's just to have a child, I can do it too..."

Although he understood all this in his heart, Jiang Yao did not explain the ins and outs to his mother.

Yuan Xiuhua has been guarding the door of her house. She is mainly worried about her son and is waiting for him to come back.

After hearing Jiang Yao say that everything was fine, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

The mother and son chatted for a while, and then she said hello and went to visit a nearby family.

Jiang Yao, on the other hand, took a machete from home and walked straight to a peach tree behind the house.
