Chapter 422 What kind of snake is this? [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]

In the blink of an eye, Rhine and Aurora were already in the capital of the Far East Empire.

This is a lively oriental bazaar, with a constant flow of people. People are coming and going everywhere, and vendors are hawking their wares on the streets. It is a lively scene.

Seeing the familiar faces with oriental features, Rhine couldn't help but feel a little enlightened.

It was actually the first time for Aurora to see such a lively market, and she was also looking around curiously.

“Pears for sale, fresh and delicious pears!”

A peddler came by with a cart of pears and passed by Aurora and Rhine.

The peddler saw the two children were dressed in gorgeous clothes and had handsome faces. He knew they were rich. He bent down and said with a smile:

"You two don't look like locals. You must be foreign guests. Would you like a fresh pear?"

"Okay." Rhine bought two pears and gave one to Aurora.

The two of them ate the pears. The pears were indeed very sweet, tender and juicy, leaving people with an endless aftertaste.

"It's delicious!" Aurora gave a thumbs up and praised.

"As long as you two like it!" said the pear vendor with a smile.

At this time, a Taoist wearing a tattered Taoist hat and a tattered Taoist robe just walked in front of the car. Seeing Rhine and Aurora eating happily, he also became greedy.

The Taoist priest in tattered clothes felt his pockets, but they were empty. There was no money, not even a copper coin.

Seeing this, the Taoist begged the peddler:
"Your pears look really good, they must be delicious. Can you...give me one?"

The vendor said righteously:

"No. If I give the pears away, how can I get money to sell them to others? I'm just doing a small business, don't beg from me."

Despite what the vendor said, the Taoist priest still refused to give in:
"I say, your pears are too expensive. I really can't afford them. Can't you just let me have a taste?"

"You have hundreds of pears in this cart. I only want one from you. It won't be a big loss to you."

"Just give the smallest one, the smallest one! I definitely don't want more."

The pear vendor was obviously a stubborn person. Seeing the Taoist priest pestering him, he also got angry:
"Come on, come on, if you don't want to buy, don't stop me from doing business! What if I don't give it to you?"

The two of them spoke so loudly that they immediately attracted everyone on the street.

Rhine and Aurora, who had just finished eating pears and were about to leave, were also attracted by the quarrel and turned their eyes to the pear vendor and the Taoist priest.

Rhine looked at the Taoist priest and the angry vendor, his face thoughtful, as if he was recalling something.

What a familiar scene...

"Teacher..." Aurora was a little surprised when she saw Rhine suddenly stop.

Wasn't the teacher going to look for Ye Ruge, the founder of the Witch Society? Why did he suddenly stop and show concern for the pear vendor?

Could it be that there is something special about this pear vendor or this poor Taoist beggar?
With such confusion, Aurora once again turned her gaze towards the two people arguing.

At this time, a crowd of people watching the fun had gathered around the two of them.

Someone advised the vendor:

"I think you might as well just take the smallest pear and give it to the poor Taoist priest and send him away."

"Yes. It's just a pear. It's better to avoid this Taoist clinging to you and affecting your business."

"I heard that most of these wandering Taoist priests have special powers. If you don't give him the pear, he might use some evil magic to take revenge on you behind your back!"

The pear vendor had been hesitant at first, wondering whether he should give the pear to the Taoist priest to keep the peace. But after hearing the advice from others, he became furious and rebelled:

"It was obviously this Taoist who harassed me first, why should I try to please him?

"From now on, if this Taoist priest bothers others again, will others have to give in to him?
"What if I don't give him the pears? He can just beg from others. Maybe some kind-hearted person will give him some."

Seeing the peddler's resolute attitude, the Taoist priest suddenly threw away his tattered Taoist robe and sneered:
“Haha, since you won’t give it to me, it doesn’t matter.

"Just, if you piss me off, don't cry and regret it later!"

The peddler knew that the Taoist priest was threatening him with revenge, so he became furious and was about to start cursing.

"Stop it, stop arguing!"

A clear female voice sounded.

The onlookers looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes standing there, with obvious exotic features in her appearance.

"Isn't it just a pear? I'll just buy one."

Aurora bought another pear from the vendor and gave it to the Taoist priest.

She didn't like the Taoist priest, but didn't want to see the pear vendor being harassed, so she just showed some kindness.

"Little girl, thank you very much!"

The Taoist priest took the pear from Aurora with a smile and began to eat it in big mouthfuls, praising it as he ate:
"It's delicious. It's really a good pear."

In a short while, the pear was eaten up and only the core was left.

"Okay, you've finished eating the pear, can you leave now?" Aurora advised, and then warned, "Don't harass others like this again. He gave you the pear out of kindness, and he wouldn't owe you anything if he didn't give it to you."

Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest did not leave. Instead, he smiled, looked around at the crowd, pointed at the pear vendor and said:

"Thank you all for speaking up for me just now. It's a pity that the miser didn't listen to your advice.

“I am a monk, I won’t be stingy with good things like that miser.

"It just so happens that I have some delicious pears here, so I'll just share them with you. Please come and taste them together!"

Everyone was stunned and bewildered.

No?

If you have pears, why don't you eat your own?

Aurora also looked at the Taoist priest in surprise, wondering what he was up to.

Seeing the puzzled look on the crowd, the Taoist priest smiled and held up the pear core he had just eaten:

"Don't I need a seed?"

After saying this, the Taoist priest dug a small hole in the ground, put the fruit core he had just eaten in it, covered it with soil, and asked the person next to him for some hot water, which he poured into the hole.

Everyone gathered around the pit curiously, wanting to see what would happen.
Only Rhine remained silent, as if he already knew what was going to happen next.

After a while, I saw the sprout coming out of the soil and growing rapidly. Within a few seconds, it grew into a big tree with lush branches and leaves.

The tree blossomed and bore fruit in an instant, with many large and fragrant pears hanging from its branches.

These pears are plump and look no worse than the pears sold by the vendors before. !
"Come on, come on, everyone, eat. Don't be polite!"

The Taoist picked up a shovel and chopped at the pear tree with a clanging sound.

Everyone rushed forward, picked up the pears, and tasted them with big bites, eating them with great satisfaction.

"What a nice pear, fresh and juicy." "Indeed, delicious."

Everyone ate and praised the pears. The Taoist priest saw this and smiled, not knowing what he was proud of.

"So that's how it is. When he begged for a pear, he needed the core as a seed. As long as there was a seed, the Taoist priest could use magic to quickly grow a pear tree."

Aurora seemed to be thinking about something, and then muttered:

"Why doesn't he just say it directly? He just wants a seed. Why not ask the customer who has eaten the pear for a core?"

"No, that's not the case." Rhine said lightly.

"What does the teacher mean?" Aurora looked at Rhine in confusion.

"These pears were all stolen," Rhine whispered.

Aurora's eyes narrowed, and she immediately understood something.

The pear vendor who was selling pears before was also mixed in the crowd, craning his neck and staring, watching this wonderful magic, and even forgetting his own business.

He was swept up by a group of people and walked forward, wanting to see the difference between the pears transformed by magic and the real pears.

Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest recognized him at a glance: "You, are not allowed to eat my pear!"

"It's alright. If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it." The vendor had no intention of taking advantage of this opportunity, and snorted, "I have a cart of pears anyway."

With that, the vendor left the crowd and headed towards his pear cart.

What he didn't notice was that the Taoist priest looked at the peddler's back, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible wicked smile.

"Okay, okay, have you all divided up the pears?"

When the Taoist saw that everyone had taken the pears from the tree, he stuffed a dozen of the largest pears into a cloth bag and left in a hurry.

"Why is he leaving in such a hurry?" Seeing the Taoist priest leaving in a hurry, everyone was a little confused, but they didn't care.

"Aurora, let's follow the pear vendor."

After Rhine finished speaking, he led Aurora around a corner and saw the pear vendor facing him.

"Where are my pears? Where are my pears? Where have they gone?"

I saw that the cart full of pears just now was now empty!
And the pear cart was surprisingly missing a handlebar.

"My pear!"

The vendor burst into tears.

"I was hoping to sell these pears in the city, get some money, and go back to support my old mother!"

The peddler threw himself on the empty pear cart which was missing a handlebar, with tears streaming down his face.

At this time, one of the people watching shouted:

"I just saw that the pear tree that was chopped down where the Taoist priest left was turned into a handlebar."

The vendor suddenly realized:

"That Taoist priest used some magic! All the pears on that pear tree are mine!"

He was so angry that he turned around and wanted to settle the score with the Taoist priest:

"Where did the Taoist priest go? I'm a small businessman, and all my pears are lost at once. How can I live like this? He stole my pears, and I will definitely settle the score with him."

Many people at the market were also craving the vendor's pears, but they didn't want to pay for them. They had just eaten the pears given by the Taoist priest, and they were very proud of themselves. Now they saw the vendor's angry look, and they couldn't stop laughing.

"I'm telling you, just accept your bad luck. That Taoist priest has already escaped."

"Didn't I tell you before? Most of these wandering Taoists have special skills. If you dare to provoke them, you will be retaliated."

"That's right. If you had listened to your buddy before and given him a pear to keep things quiet, that would have been the end of it. Why did you end up like this, with your business capital gone?"

"In life, it's better to have less trouble than more. Wouldn't it be better to give him some advantage in the beginning? With your stubborn temper, you will suffer a great loss sooner or later."

The crowd watching started making sarcastic remarks, and many even thought the vendor looked funny and started to mock him.

Of course, there are also people who sympathize with the hawker and think that he has suffered an undeserved disaster.

The vendor was angry and sad:
"Why? Is there any law here?
"He has special skills, so why can't he use them for the right reasons? He wants to bully a commoner like me who runs a small business! I want to report to the authorities, I want to report to the authorities!"

The crowd advised the hawker:

"This matter involves ghosts and magic, and only a special person can handle it. If it is not a serious matter, the government will not care. Just consider yourself unlucky!"

"Yeah. Just accept your bad luck. Don't mess with these talented people in the future."

"What's the point of finding that Taoist priest? With his abilities, how can he be afraid of you?"

"Yes, you only lost a cart of pears this time. If you provoke him again, you might end up losing your life!"

The peddler's eyes were red from crying, thinking that he had made little money after coming to the city, but instead lost a cart of pears. He then thought of his old mother at home, and was overwhelmed with emotions, and grief filled his heart.

"The government doesn't care about this matter, but I will!"

Suddenly, a slightly childish but extremely firm voice sounded among the crowd.

The peddler looked closely and saw that the person who spoke was the foreign child with silver hair and fancy clothes.

Rhine came over and comforted the vendor:

"We ate your pears just now. They were delicious and far exceeded the price we paid. Since we have received a favor, how can we not repay it?"

Rhine grabbed the vendor and said sternly:

"I'll take you to find the Taoist priest who stole your pears and give you justice!"

The vendor wiped his tears, forced a helpless smile, and said to Rhine:
"Thank you for your kindness. Please don't comfort me. Everyone says that the Taoist priest has run away a long time ago. How can we find him?"

The people around also started to make a noise:
"That Taoist priest has some skills, do you dare to offend him again?"

"That's right. I think that Taoist priest is very powerful and must know some kind of spell to curse people."

"My child, I see that you have an extraordinary appearance and should be the son of a wealthy family, but you are a foreigner after all and you don't know anyone here. Take my advice and don't get involved in this matter. Otherwise, you may lose your life."

Rhine just smiled, as if he didn't hear the advice of others, and pulled the pear vendor:
"Don't worry. I know a thing or two about magic. I'll take you to find the Taoist priest now."

The vendor was stunned: "The Taoist priest ran away a long time ago... Uh, kid, do you know where he is?"

"I know." Rhine nodded and continued.

"Even if he runs to the ends of the earth, to me, he is just in front of me. This world is nothing but a small place to me."

The vendor was skeptical, but he followed Rhine toward the street corner. Aurora followed behind them.

The crowd watching were also amazed and followed suit.

"I want to see if this kid is just pretending to be mysterious or if he really has some skills."

"If we can really find that Taoist priest, it will be a good show to watch!"
