39.Chapter 39: I Win
Fanjia Village, hidden in the mountains, is still far-reaching and quiet. The City God Temple at the entrance of the village looks a little lively today.
The temple keeper, Lao Liu Tou, sat cross-legged at the feet of Grandpa Chenghuang as usual, with his eyes half-closed, and he didn't know whether he was awake or had already wandered thousands of miles.
After returning from Jiangjia Village, his body became even weaker, and he coughed from morning to night almost every day, sometimes even coughing up blood. In the past few days, he has no appetite, he is unwilling to eat, and he is drunk and dreaming of death with a wine gourd all day long, but in this way, the cough has been relieved a lot.
In the center of the small temple, there is still a table of eight immortals, and there is still a chessboard on the table, and on one side of the chessboard is still Xiao Sanqing half-squatting on the chair, concentrating on how to move the next move, the only difference is that the person who accompanied Sanqing to play chess changed from Luo Wencheng to Fan Youwei, a cowherding baby.
Of course, this is because Luo Wencheng was angry with Fan Youwei's family in advance, so that this doll was able to take a break in such a grand manner.
Fan Youwei's chess skills were taught by Luo Wencheng for three days, so naturally he is not very smart, but for the Sanqing who has just opened his mind, it can be regarded as half a catty and eight taels, which is quite equal. The game of chess between the two of them, interspersed with various regrets, has been played for a full hour.
Luo Wencheng stood aside with a smile, and after dragging the herding baby into the water, he was much more relaxed. During this time, he still ran to this temple every day, as if this was his home. Every day, he ignored his wife and children at home, and ran to the City God Temple to greet Lao Liu Tou, collect medicine and decoction, but every time he got a reward for Lao Liu Tou's eyes, he was still happy.
Jiang Huanghuang of Jiangjia Village also often went to the City God Temple for a while. Since Lao Liu Tou went to Jiangjia Village, the Jiang family has really lived a lot, the new aunt next door is no longer noisy, Jiang Huihuang no longer has nightmares, and he has slept a lot more peacefully.
As for what happened to his uncle, he also heard it from Luo Wencheng later without a word. It is probably said that his uncle Jiang Guang's wife in the previous life was too obsessed and had been pestering him until this life, so that Jiang Ying had only beaten the bachelor for most of his life, and when he took his daughter-in-law, he completely overturned this vinegar jar in the next life. And the female ghost who disturbed the Jiang family has now been sent back to the underworld by Lao Liu, and she can no longer come out to danger the world.
Although what Luo Wencheng said was a bit evil, Jiang Huanghuang was convinced, and he was even more respectful and awe-inspiring to the old Liu Tou, and simply regarded this old man as an immortal, of course, there was a premise that his appearance was ignored.
Early this morning, Jiang Huanghuang left home and arrived unhurriedly, the Chenghuang Temple in Fanjia Village. Originally, I was going to discuss with Luo Wencheng about selling the wild goods in the mountains to the city, you know, in this era, everyone is thinking of various ways to make money, he Jiang Huanghuang Of course, I am eager to be well-off as soon as possible. And he was idle at home all day, instead of chatting and farting with Wu Laohan at the head of the village, he talked to Zhao Laohan at the end of the village about his daughter in the boudoir, this kind of day was really boring, so he also wanted to change something in his life.
When Jiang Huanghuang arrived at the City God Temple, Luo Wencheng was already there watching the two children play chess with relish. Jiang Huanghuang couldn't help but sigh that his eldest brother seemed to be a hundred times more boring than himself.
"Did you run here early in the morning?" Luo Wencheng asked when he first saw Jiang Huanghuang walking in from outside the door.
"How do you know? I really have something to tell you, big brother. From Luo Wencheng's tone, Jiang Huanghuang vaguely knew that the other party was in a good mood today, so he walked over with a smile.
"It's just right, I have something to tell you too!" Luo Wencheng stopped watching chess, turned around and walked towards Jiang Huanghuang, and when he got closer, he stretched out his right hand and put it on Jiang Huanghuang's shoulder, and forced Jiang Huanghuang, who had just walked in the door, out of the door again.
Old Liu Tou opened his eyes slightly, looked at the two backs who walked out of the temple gate, shook his head, sighed and said softly to himself: "I'm dead, who can still hold you down?" and then closed his eyes again.
After about ten minutes, Luo Wencheng took Jiang Huanghuang back to the temple, and he didn't know what Luo Wencheng said to him, so that his face was clouded and sad.
"Think about it, but don't take too long, I'm impatient, you know!" Luo Wencheng said in a deep voice.
Jiang Huanghuang was stunned in place, he didn't know how to answer for a while, he was stunned for about half a minute, he gritted his teeth and nodded, and said, "I, I'll give you an answer tomorrow!" After speaking, without waiting for Luo Wencheng to reply, he turned around and left the City God Temple, heading towards Jiangjia Village all the way.
On the way, Jiang Huanghuang met a sturdy man with a wooden box on his back, and the man had a new scar on his cheek, which was not a good kind at first glance. Jiang Huanghuang crossed shoulders with him, and subconsciously quickened his pace, as if he was afraid that the man would suddenly turn around and break his neck. And the middle-aged man with the wooden box on his back was so worried that he didn't pay attention to this strange young man, and still strode forward with his head down.
In the City God Temple, Luo Wencheng returned to the table of the Eight Immortals, watching with great interest the two children fighting fiercely on the chessboard.
"General, you have no way to go, Brother Wei!" Sanqing sent his car forward, then stood up and said excitedly.
"This, it's really a loss. Fan Youwei scratched his head, this was the first time he had lost to Sanqing. After playing against Sanqing for a few days, he didn't know that he was very Sanqing had been nailed to the same game of chess, Sanqing was handsome, but he was willing to only make a cannon and point where to fight.
"I finally won, I finally won, so shouldn't my dad come back!" Sanqing said to Luo Wencheng.
"This ......," Luo Wencheng didn't know how to answer.
Sanqing had already jumped off the chair and ran directly to the door, saying as he ran: "I'm going to pick him up, I must be tired after walking for so long!"
Seeing this, Fan Youwei hurriedly chased after him. When I walked to the gate of the temple, I saw a man carrying a wooden box in the distance striding in the direction of the City God Temple.
Sanqing called out to Dad, and then spread his legs and ran towards the man. The man squatted down and hugged Sanqing in his arms.
"Are you really back?" Fan Youwei felt unbelievable when he saw this scene, and at the same time, this picture of the reunion of father and son always stimulated a certain nerve in him and made him extremely uncomfortable. He turned his head away from looking, but tears welled up in his eyes. He also wished he could say "Dad, you're back!"
Old Liu Tou jumped down from the Buddhist shrine, shook the dust on his body, and whispered: "Come on, it's time to go!"
