Chapter 26 - 17
San Lang glanced at him, smiled, and said, "I'm leaving for a bit."
After saying that, he turned around and left. According to reason, Xie Lian should have chased after him and asked him about it. However, he had a strange feeling that since this youth had already said that he was going to leave for a while, then he shouldn't be gone for too long. He would definitely return. Thus, Xie Lian first entered the monastery.
Xie Lian rummaged through the things he had collected last night on the streets. His left hand pulled out an iron pot, his right hand felt for a kitchen knife, and he looked at the pile of fruits and vegetables on the offering table before standing up.
After the time it took to burn a stick of incense, the sound of footsteps could be heard outside Pu Qi Monastery. The footsteps were neither fast nor slow. Listening to them, one could imagine the youth's unhurried appearance as he walked.
At this moment, the things in Xie Lian's hands had become two plates. He looked left and right at the things on the plates before letting out a long sigh. He didn't want to look anymore, so he went out to take a look. Sure enough, he saw San Lang again.
That youth stood outside the monastery. Perhaps because of the scorching sun, he had taken off his red clothes and casually tied them around his waist. He only wore a white robe with his sleeves rolled up, making him look very neat and tidy. His right foot stepped on a rectangular wooden board while his left hand spun a hatchet. That hatchet was probably borrowed from a villager's house. It looked blunt and heavy, but in his hands, it was easy to use. Moreover, it seemed to be extremely sharp. From time to time, he would cut the wooden board twice, as if he was peeling skin. He glanced over and saw Xie Lian come out. "I'm making something."
Xie Lian went over to take a look. He was actually making a door leaf. Moreover, the size was just right. It was neat and beautiful, and the surface was very smooth. His craftsmanship was excellent. Because this youth seemed to have a big background, Xie Lian thought he was the type who didn't know how to distinguish between five grains and four limbs. Who knew that he would be very efficient in his work. "You've worked hard, San Lang."
San Lang smiled and didn't reply. He casually tossed the hatchet aside and installed it for him. He knocked on the door and said to him, "Since you're going to draw talismans, wouldn't it be better to draw them on the door?"
After he finished speaking, he nonchalantly lifted the curtain and entered.
It seemed that the strict talisman on the curtain did not have any effect on him, and San Lang did not care about it at all.
After Xie Lian closed the new door, he couldn't help but open it again, close it again, open it again, and close it again, thinking that this door was really well made. After switching it on and off a few times, he suddenly woke up with a start and felt that he was really bored. San Lang had already sat down in the room. Xie Lian threw the door down and took out a plate of steamed buns that the villagers offered this morning and placed it on the offering table.
