The fox has no bad intentions

Chapter 453 Home for the Wanderers
"Leaving aside other matters, I am absolutely certain that I have never cheated anyone on the safety of my travels."

"That 'Safe Travel' sticker was taken when An was beating up a spicy snack; its tail knocked over a trash can, spilling its contents."

Seeing that Ah Qing was slandering him, An Sheng turned around, showed his mouth tube, and stabbed Ah Qing's cheek hard.

But after An Sheng turned the gun around, his buttocks were exposed to Qiu Lingling's eyes.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Qiu Lingling's eyes lit up. She stretched out her hands, grabbed the tail, and stroked its fur.

"Whoa-"

The sudden burst of pleasure forced the little fox to abandon its plan to cover Ah Qing's mouth, and it moved to a different position on the armrest box, keeping a close eye on Qiu Lingling.

"Ah Bai, quickly discipline your little master!" An Sheng said to Ah Bai.

"Ouch."

Ah Bai sat in the back aisle, resting his chin on Qiu Lingling's legs, looking completely content and sleepy as he enjoyed the air conditioning blowing from the back. He mumbled a call to Master Fuli.

I'm a little sleepy after eating.
Brother Fuli, aren't you going to take a nap?
"Ah Qing, we're about to leave the village. Please cover your face a little, as my car windows aren't very good at preventing people from peeping."

Taking a detour out of the village from the fishing spot, the main entrance to the fishing spot was already crowded with anglers, with delivery guys carrying takeout orders forming a new superposition with the anglers.

One side is preparing for a pilgrimage.

One side is preparing to deliver food.

Although McDonald's fast food is a bit pricey, the business still adheres to basic principles. After communicating with Ah Qing, we charged an extra 100 yuan to fry a batch of thick-cut fries and then arranged for a delivery driver to bring them over to avoid them expiring before they were ready.

The orca had just finished eating one pot, swam around a couple of times to digest some of it, and then the second pot of fresh fries arrived.

Under Chen Zhiyu's guidance, A Qing was not harassed too much, but there was only one way out of the village.

We learned from the resort's work group that it was because Ah Qing caught a whale.

Local anglers, TV stations, anchors, and fishing tackle vendors all flocked over.

If it weren't for staff members blocking the flow of people and requiring them to register their identity information before entering, the entrance to the fishing pond would likely have been completely blocked.

"I'm not exactly a big star, am I?" Ah Qing asked with a slightly puzzled look, slightly adjusting the position of the sun visor and turning the car window to cover half of her face.

"You don't understand fishermen."

Chen Zhiyu chuckled and shook his head, then glanced at the live stream screen and asked:

Are there any anglers in the live stream?

"So, if I were to auction off the steel fishing rod that Ah Qing just caught and blessed by an orca, would any of you be willing to bid? Or would you like Ah Qing to bless your main fishing rod? Anyone willing to bid?"

Before opening the fishing spot, Chen Zhiyu was a veterinarian and a local food supplier in Jiule. She didn't know much about fishing.

However, after spending time with them, she still didn't understand the mindset of the anglers. But Chen Zhiyu knew the commonalities between anglers and gamblers: they wanted to get out of debt.

[Really? A godmother? I'd pay 30,000 yuan for the threaded steel fishing rod that the streamer supposedly blessed while fishing for whales.]

[Me! Me! Me! I want the streamer to bless a fishing rod! I can send it to the carnival!]

As Chen Zhiyu spoke, bids ranging from several hundred to tens of thousands appeared sporadically on the public screen.

Ah Qing looked at Sister Zhiyu with a surprised expression, seemingly not understanding the comments on the public screen.

A set of three items—rebar, steel cable, and fishing cage—only costs a few dozen yuan at a hardware store.

“They are the metaphysical school of fishing enthusiasts. Of course, we don’t advocate feudal superstition,” Chen Zhiyu explained with a light laugh. “Among this school of fishing enthusiasts, they seem to care a lot about the first day of using a new fishing rod.”

"If the first day goes smoothly, it's a good rod. If you catch a big fish, it means the rod has been successfully 'blessed,' and the probability of catching big fish thereafter will increase by 1+1+1."

"If the first day is a dead fish, the fish is stuck in the mouth, or it's a corpse, then you have to either break it or return it to the merchant within seven days without giving a reason."

Chen Zhiyu's acquaintance with the fisherman from the metaphysical school stemmed from the fishing rod that A Qing had previously used to catch a sturgeon. That rebar fishing rod hung in the exhibition hall to showcase the highest fish catch record at the fishing grounds.

Later, some people went to burn incense and candles to make offerings, saying they wanted to use the spiritual power of the rebar to help consecrate their fishing rods.

After getting to know them, Chen Zhiyu learned that there was a metaphysical category of fishing enthusiasts.

They were so eager to hunt. It was exhilarating.

To experience the thrill of catching a big fish, it's normal to spend two or three thousand yuan on a single fishing trip.

The bigger the fish in the pond, the higher the fee; some grouper fishing trips even charge four or five thousand yuan for two or three hours.

"Borrowing the power of Heaven and Earth, and the auspicious energy of the dragon, I bless the fishing rod. Three hundred small openings, five hundred large openings. This is a authentic Taoist priest from a blessed land, specializing in prayer and blessing services. Your Taoist certificate is right here."

At the entrance of the village parking lot, a lean middle-aged man dressed in Taoist robes sat in front of his stall, loudly hawking his wares.

Chen Zhiyu glanced over instinctively, her expression froze, and her lips twitched slightly. She took out her phone and sent a voice message to the resort's work group:

“Awei, bring some men to the village entrance and throw that Taoist priest who contracts the blessing business out.”

“If he asks why, you should say that you saw him selling crosses last week, trying to sell to foreigners that Jesus is not effective in Xia Kingdom and that believers in Xia Kingdom should pray to Hong Xiuquan to receive blessings.”

Consecration is one thing.

But last week, he clearly stated that he was a priest and that he could interpret the Bible for his congregation.

A week later, he became a Taoist priest.

You seem to take these certification exams quite frequently!
【? ? ? 】

Chen Zhiyu's voice, in the relatively enclosed space of the carriage, was very effectively transmitted to the live broadcast room, and the viewers who were originally watching the live broadcast slowly typed a question mark.

Then, the audience in the live broadcast room burst into laughter.

[This is definitely a Taoist priest!]

[It's done! Daoist Master has mastered the Formless Divine Skill, fusing all the supernatural powers under heaven into one body, transcending self, others, and all living beings.]

Ah Qing chuckled upon hearing this, never expecting that the seemingly upright, bearded man outside the car window could do something so shameless.

Instruct the staff at the fishing grounds to drive away the charlatan who was trying to fleece the fishermen.

Chen Zhiyu drove towards the city center, and after about five or six minutes turned onto a tree-lined path. He followed the winding cement road to the mountainside.

On the hillside, in the wasteland, weeds grow wildly as if no one is taking care of them. Looking inside, you can see a red brick wall covered with moss.

Inside the red brick wall stands a five-story old house, seemingly half-built, its concrete structure and brick walls exposed by the elements due to a broken funding chain.

Even in broad daylight, one can feel a strange, eerie chill when looking from afar.

At the entrance of the eerie building hangs a new, somewhat incongruous plaque.

The words "Stray Pet Rescue Center" caught the eye of everyone, including the viewers in the live stream.

“Ah Bai.”

"Are you sure you didn't embezzle? If you did, then honestly give me half!"

When Mr. Fuli, who was visiting the homeless family for the first time, turned to look at Ah Bai and spoke.

You spent over ten million on this?
You probably didn't just embezzle ten million, but actually stole nine million!
"Awoo!" Ah Bai was all smiles, telling Master Fuli not to worry, this place was only dilapidated on the outside, but the inside was very luxurious.

If it weren't for Grandma Hedgehog's help, the wealthy man would never have wanted to sell this vacation villa.
