Chapter 195: Are You Liu Shun's Apprentice?
Because there was a fire in the house, it soon warmed up, and the kang was also hot, so Zhou Tian and Black Eagle took off their thick coats.
"How's it going?" asked Zhou Tian.
"Qi Huo!" said Black Hawk, pointing to the steaming cauldron a little ostentatiously.
"I didn't expect you to even know this!" Zhou Tian said with a smile.
"I can make delicious food without fire in the wilderness!" said Black Eagle with a smile, "Now that there is a pot and a stove, it's easier! I'll take advantage of this moment to go and get things back!
Zhou Tian nodded in agreement, and Black Eagle led the horse back to get the things they had thrown on the side of the road.
"Hmm......" Zhang Linsheng on the kang suddenly made a sound, and Zhou Tian hurriedly walked in.
"Uncle Zhang, you're awake!" Zhou Tian asked, sitting next to him.
Zhang Linsheng slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw clearly that it was a strange young man in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little excited and wanted to get up.
"Uncle Zhang, you lie down!" Zhou Tian hurriedly stopped him, "Don't be afraid, I'm Liu Shun's apprentice!
"Liu Shun?" Zhang Linsheng asked subconsciously, and then he was really excited, and grabbed Zhou Tian's hand, "You said you are Liu Shun's apprentice?"
"Yes, don't worry!" Zhou Tian soothed him, "Tong Shun took us to find you, just in time for those people to burn down the house, and now we are at Tong Shun's house!
"Oh!" Zhang Linsheng calmed down when he heard Zhou Tian say this, but the tight scalp on his head still made him can't help but touch it, "These damn beasts!"
"It's okay now, you drink some water first!" Zhou Tian helped Zhang Linsheng sit up, asked him to lean against the wall in a different direction, and mixed the already cold water next to him with some hot water and handed it to Zhang Linsheng.
Now that Zhang Linsheng has woken up, his body doesn't seem to be in any serious trouble, after all, it is just an external injury, not so weak.
"Uncle Zhang, slow down!" Zhou Tian saw that Zhang Linsheng seemed to be a little anxious to drink, so he said.
"Liu Shun, is he okay now?" Zhang Linsheng handed the cup to Zhou Tian, and Zhou Tian put the cup aside.
"He's very good! We came out to play this time, and the master asked me to come and see you and Aunt Tong Yao, saying that if you are still in good health, let you go to Kyoto to live for a while!" Zhou Tian said, in front of him, Zhou Tian would not hide anything.
But when Zhang Linsheng heard Zhou Tian mention Tong Yao's name, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and nodded slowly.
Zhou Tian took advantage of Zhang Linsheng's memories and looked at him carefully.
Zhang Linsheng and Liu Shun are about the same age, unlike Liu Shun's pampered white and chubby, his body is exceptionally strong, his tough face has wrinkles of time, and his black and red face is matched with gray hair, which makes his whole person look extraordinarily vicissitudes.
"Is Tao San good?" After a while, Zhang Linsheng asked again.
Zhou Tian smiled and told him what he knew about Tao Sanye, and Zhang Linsheng also had a little more smile on his face.
"I knew that, back then!" Zhang Linsheng began to recall again, "Liu Shun looks honest and honest, Tao San is a clever ghost, what about me? I don't have Tao San's brain, and I am not as honest as Liu Shun, you say, how can the three of us talk about going together?"
"The matter of fate, it's really not clear!" Zhou Tian said, "It's just that after so many years, my master's age has also increased, and I always have something on my mind, I can't let go of it, this time it's really lucky, if possible, you and Aunt Tong Yao will follow us back to Kyoto to live for a few days!"
Zhang Linsheng seemed to be a little unspeakable, first nodded, and then shook his head, "Your master has a heart......!"
Before he finished speaking, he heard the door knock outside, and the black eagle came back and put the things into the house, and then, before he could speak, Tong Shun also came back.
"Tong Shun is back!" said Black Hawk after putting down the two baskets of things.
Tong Shun walked in with a cold air, and Zhou Tian looked behind him and saw a woman about fifty or sixty years old walking in behind Tong Shun.
She wore a dark blue cotton coat, her hair was combed in a bun at the back of her head, her face was serious, and her eyes were large, except that the obvious wrinkles made her upper eyelids droop slightly.
Judging from her appearance alone, you can see that this woman must have been very beautiful when she was young.
"This is my milk, he is Zhou Tianhe ......" Tong Shun introduced, waiting until Black Hawk, but he remembered that he didn't know the name of Black Hawk.
"He's my assistant!" Zhou Tian took what he said, and then bowed slightly to the woman, "I'm Zhou Tian, Liu Shun's apprentice!"
When the woman heard this, her eyes lit up for a moment, then she retracted herself, glanced at Zhou Tian a few times, nodded, and sat on the edge of the kang next to Zhang Linsheng.
"Are you alright?" she asked.
"It's okay, I was beaten by those brutes!" Zhang Linsheng smiled gently, and his eyes softened when he looked at the woman.
"It's okay!" the woman didn't say anything, her hand caught Zhang Linsheng's pulse, "It's okay!" she said again.
Tong Shun looked in the kitchen for a while, then ran outside and brought in a large piece of dried meat, put it near the hearth and roasted it for a while, cut it into a large plate, and piled it high.
"Milk, let's eat first!" Tong Shun leaned into half of his body and said.
"Okay!" said Grandma Tong Shun.
Zhang Linsheng didn't want him to go down to eat, so Tong Shun moved in from another room and put a kang table on the kang.
Black Eagle followed out and brought in the dishes and chopsticks, Tong Shun took a large basin and put the cabbage meat boiled in the pot in one go.
The bean buns with the curtain are set aside on an empty basin, and there are two dishes on the table, but the portions are full.
"I brought this, Uncle Zhang drink less, and it can also invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis!" Zhou Tian gave Zhang Lin half a bowl, and then poured a bowl for Tong Shun's grandmother, "I didn't bother to ask just now, I don't know whether I should call you grandma with Tong Shun, or follow my master's side and call you aunt!"
Grandma Tong Shun was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect that before she could say who she was, Zhou Tian had already guessed her identity.
"Call Aunt!" Zhang Linsheng suddenly said loudly, Grandma Tong Shun did not object, and Tong Shun was not happy first.
"Master, isn't that bad, we're all about the same age!"
"What kind of generation are you kid? Don't you still call me master? Then what should I call your milk?" Zhang Linsheng hit Tong Shun with chopsticks, and then laughed.
Everyone was amused by Tong Shun's words, and even Tong Shun's grandmother had a smile in her eyes.
For a while, the atmosphere in the room was very good, and Zhou Tian and Tong Shun raised a few words to each other, which made everyone laugh for a while.
During the meal, he didn't say much about the past, and when everyone was full of wine and food, Black Eagle and Tong Shun cleaned up the table, and Zhou Tian was called to another room by Tong Shun's grandmother, that is, Tong Yao in Liu Shun's mouth.
"Sit down!" Tong Yao said, and then he took a match and wiped one and lit an oil lamp on top of the two red wooden boxes.
The electricity was already on here, and although the light bulb in the house was dim and not dark, Tong Yao still lit the oil lamp.
Zhou Tian saw a wooden frame on the wall behind the oil lamp, and a wooden statue was placed inside, and the statue exuded a thick halo.
The statue is not tall, with a slender humanoid pedestal, a faint halo illuminated by an oil lamp, with a faint gold edge.
And on top of the wooden statue, there is a deer antler!
According to the information that Zhou Tian saw before, this should be a shamanic offering treasure.
After lighting the oil lamp, Tong Yao put on the kang with slippers, sat cross-legged on the kang, and motioned to Zhou Tian, "Sit down a little!"
Zhou Tian also followed her example, took off his shoes, and sat cross-legged opposite her.
"You said Liu Shun is your master?" asked Tong Yao.
"Yes, just like my father!" replied with a nod of his head. He ...... Are you alright?" Tong Yao seemed a little hesitant, but there was obvious anticipation in her eyes.
"It's not bad, and he said, if I find you and Uncle Zhang, if you are healthy, I will go to Kyoto to live for a while!" Zhou Tian said.
"He still remembers our ......," Tong Yao said as if talking to herself.
"Of course I remember, this time we came to the Northeast for a trip, he specially explained to me, find a way to find you, I can see that he has been relieved in his heart, until now ......" Zhou Tian deliberately said that what he did was Liu Shun's confession, looking at Tong Yao's expression, he has always been very strange in his heart, what happened to them back then, so that the three of them did not get married, and Tao San stayed away from Kyoto.
"He's the same as Uncle Zhang!" at the end, Zhou Tian said again.
"Hmm, what's the same?" Tong Yao seemed to be immersed in memories.
"Like Uncle Zhang, I'm not married!" Zhou Tian said cautiously.
As a junior, he really shouldn't have said these things about his elders, but if he didn't say it, he felt a little pity, and sure enough......
"I'm not married...... Tong Yao's state is still immersed in memories, and when she hears Zhou Tian's words, she just repeats them mechanically.
Zhou Tian stopped talking, observing Tong Yao, she looked at the void in the air, and was silent for a long time.
In the end, it was Tong Shun from outside who came over to break this subtle silence.
"Milk, you won't go back tonight, will you?" Then I'll take the quilt over a few beds!" Tong Shun said, then took off his shoes and put on the kang, took out two quilts from the kangqin, handed them to the black eagle who came with him, and took them to the other side.
"Oh, not going back!" Tong Yao replied subconsciously.
When Tong Shun went out, Tong Yao finally pulled her thoughts back and continued to talk to Zhou Tian.
"What did you do with those people?" she asked.
Zhou Tian bit his lip, not knowing whether to tell the truth or not, but when he looked at the eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate his inner thoughts, he didn't dare to lie.
"Send them where they should go!" Zhou Tian said.
Tong Yao nodded, "It should have been like this a long time ago!"
"Aunt Tong! What the hell is going on? I listen to what they mean, it seems that it has not been a day or two, and they say that there seems to be some big boss up there! If it is not safe here, you and Uncle Zhang should move outside! At the very least, they will not dare to mess around outside!"
Tong Yao didn't nod or shake her head, but talked about something else.
"I can't leave here!" she said, "When your Uncle Zhang is better, you can take him there!"
"Why?" Zhou Tian didn't understand.
"Hehe! you don't understand!" Tong Yao smiled, looking at Zhou Tian, the smile on his face was very kind, "It's enough for me to know his news!"
"But what if they come to you again?" Zhou Tian asked a little puzzled, "There are a lot of people outside, and there are police, so they don't dare to come nonsense!"
"I really can't leave here!" Tong Yao shook her head with a wry smile and said, "In the future, if possible, come back to see me and find Tong Shun!"
"Then my master probably can't help but come!" Zhou Tian couldn't help it, and he didn't know why, Tong Yao just refused once, and he couldn't say anything else to dissuade him.
"No!" Tong Yao shook his head again, "He can't come!"
"Back then, my grandfather told him that he was never allowed to come here again in his life!
Zhou Tian is really incomprehensible, what is this for?
"You don't understand!" Tong Yao said again, "I think, your master can follow the advice and not come back, presumably he has already learned some things about shamanism, you look like a good child, his vision will not be bad, listen to my aunt, don't let him come!"
"Auntie!" Zhou Tian couldn't help but be curious, "Then can you tell me who those people are?"
