Chapter 170: The Pain of Separation

So, Xiao Han began to tell everyone the story of "Journey to the West": "What I want to tell you today is the story of a monkey, a pig, a servant, and a monk riding a horse to explore abroad. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

At the beginning, it attracted everyone's attention. Especially the spring equinox, he is at the age of a particularly strong desire for knowledge, with big round eyes, urging again and again: "Sister, talk quickly, I want to listen." ā€

"Don't worry, this is a long, long story, I can't finish it in a day, I'm afraid it will take months to finish it. But to give you a better idea of what the story is about, I'll give you a brief summary first. Then, Xiao Han told them a foreigner's interpretation of "Journey to the West" that circulated on the Internet:

"The story is about the experience of a monk from an Eastern country who went to the West for a travel and adventure, so this book is called "Journey to the West". He rode a white horse with a servant named Sha Monk. In order to pass the loneliness of the journey, he also brought a pet monkey named Sun Wukong and a pet pig named Zhu Bajie on the road.

Along the way, the monk passed through many high mountains, crossed some large rivers, and was frightened by many things. He walked through the crater of the Flame Mountain and met a country of daughters with only girls. It is said that the monkeys he brought with him were very skillful, and they cleared many obstacles for him along the way, but in fact they were nothing more than a scorpion, two centipedes, five weasels, and seven spiders. The larger animal has a cow, two lions, and three wolves.

The monkey also has some incomprehensible behavior, such as burning things at the first fire, burning several caves, a willow tree, and eight beautiful palaces along the way, and beating around a pile of white bones many times before stopping.

The pet pig brought by the monk does not seem to have any effect, but only serves as a tool to relieve boredom on the journey. It is said that it ate a lot of food, eating four watermelons in one go, and eating the monk, the servant, and the monkey's portion. He also said that he was more, and he teased seven spiders and was bitten by the spiders.

The servant was also useless, carrying a pair of broken luggage all day long, at the mercy of him.

It took the monk thirteen years to go to a country called "India", find some Buddhist scriptures from that country, and return to China like a treasure. That's the general plot of the story. ā€

That's it, everyone was stunned when they heard it, and this story was too boring. The equinox was depressed, pouting dissatisfied, and looking unhappy.

Xiao Han covered his mouth and smiled: "Don't worry, it was just a summary just now." In fact, the story of "Journey to the West" is very exciting, and it will not disappoint you. ā€

Everyone didn't believe it, but seeing that she was full of interest, it was not good to spoil the fun, so I had to cheer up and continue listening.

Xiao Han took a sip of water and opened his posture: "It is said that there is a country overseas, and the name is proud to come to the country." The country is close to the sea, and there is a famous mountain in the sea, which is called Huaguo Mountain. On the top of that mountain, there is a fairy stone. Absorb the essence of the sun and moon every day, and after a long time, you will have the meaning of being well-informed. There are immortal cells in the stone, which burst one day and give birth to a stone egg. As big as a ball, it turns into a stone monkey when it sees the wind. This stone monkey has all five senses and all four limbs. Born to crawl and walk, he knelt down in all directions, and two golden rays of light shot out of his eyes, shooting into the sky, alarming the Jade Emperor in the sky. ā€

Speaking of this, the emotions of several people were immediately mobilized, and there was even a monkey popping out of the stone, as well as the Jade Emperor.

"What about later, what about later?" asked in a loud voice, urging Xiao Han to hurry up.

Xiao Han smiled, and then told the story of the monkey's apprenticeship. The story is very interesting, and everyone can listen to it attentively, but Xiaohan said it with a dry mouth and a hungry stomach, so he hurriedly stopped.

The vernal equinox did not follow, and pulled the hem of her clothes and asked, "What happened later?"

Xiao Han flexed his index finger and flicked his forehead: "Later, Sun Monkey said to Little Monkey that he has a surname in this family, and his surname is Sun." When the little monkey heard this, he applauded and said, "The king is the old grandson, and we are all the second grandson, the third grandson, the younger grandson, the grandson of a family, the grandson of a country, and the grandson of a litter!" So a group of monkeys and monkeys all came to flatter the old grandson, drinking large pots and small bowls of coconut wine, wine, and eating all kinds of fairy flowers and fairy fruits, which is really a family joy! Your sister and I are also hungry, and we want to eat, and the story will be told tomorrow. ā€

After listening to so many "Sun", everyone felt so funny that they laughed. I heard Xiao Han say that he was hungry, and he was shocked to realize that it was noon, and although the spring equinox was itchy, he could only give up.

Chen hurriedly got up and was about to cook, when he suddenly saw He Mu standing at the door, his expression was focused, he looked thoughtful, and he didn't know how long he had been standing. Hurriedly beckoned him to come in and sit down, and asked him when he would come.

He glanced at Xiao Han and said, "I came here when I said that a stone monkey popped up in Huaguo Mountain." ā€

Xiao Han was a little weak when he heard this, thinking that he had just said that he was a little embarrassed to see what he had just said, with spit splashing and dancing.

He Mu complained about the spring equinox: "You are not interesting enough for the spring equinox, you didn't expect to call me over when you heard a story, in vain I am usually so good to you, and I make you a spinning top and a slingshot for you." ā€

The spring equinox was embarrassed to hear this, and hurriedly said: "Brother Mu, it didn't rain in the morning, so I didn't go over to call you, in fact, I was going to tell you after listening to it." ā€

"Even if you have a conscience, you can still remember me. But next time you have a story to hear, remember to call me. ā€

Although He Mu was talking to the spring equinox, his eyes were staring at Xiao Han, and the meaning was self-evident.

Xiao Han gave him a blank look - he won't tell you.

"Yo, what's so lively? He Mu is also here, come and visit the door?" a loud voice sounded suddenly.

It's the voice of the aunt. Definitely, worrying about what is coming, Chen and the others immediately became depressed.

"It's the eldest sister who is here, this rainy day, I thought you wouldn't come. Lin Jincai had no choice but to get up and greet him, his expression a little unnatural.

"Of course you want to come, how can you not come. I'm just a brother like you, even if I go under the knife, I have to come. Lin said with a smile, as if there was no problem between them.

Chen couldn't pretend to be dumb anymore, so he greeted lightly, and Lixia's brothers and sisters also greeted him perfunctorily.

When Lin saw them like this, he was angry, but when he thought of the purpose of his coming today, he had to hold back.

Seeing this scene, He Mu greeted him and said goodbye and went home. Chen got up to cook, and Lixia followed to help, so he didn't want to stay here.

Xiao Han was afraid that the Lin family would have something wrong again, and his father was emotional, so she cried and agreed to her unreasonable request in a daze, so he stayed to listen to what she had to say.

Seeing that Xiaohan and the spring equinox were not leaving, Lin pulled them up, but they didn't talk about the main point.

Xiao Han thought to himself: Don't you say yes, let's see who can calm down, anyway, I'm not in a hurry, some time is wasted with you.

After a while, Lin couldn't help it, and tried to find a way to break away from Xiao Han, she knew that this niece had a lot of eyes: "Xiao Han, go and pour a glass of water for my aunt." ā€

Lin Jincai heard this, and hurriedly told her to go quickly. Xiao Han sneered in his heart, his face did not show it at all, he glanced at the spring equinox, and the two stood up and went out together.

After walking a few steps out, Xiao Han asked the spring equinox to serve tea, and he turned back and hid outside the door to listen carefully.

"Brother, my sister really has no choice, so I have to come to beg you. It's your niece's business, you can't ignore it, you have to help your sister. Lin said with a cry.

"It's my niece who is shameless to do this kind of thing, how do you ask me to help you? Do you still have the idea of last time? I said that if you still don't miss family affection like this, and leave as soon as possible, I will never recognize you as a sister again. Lin Jincai said angrily.

Well said, Xiao Han praised in his heart, and his father finally stopped being as soft-hearted as before.

Seeing that he was angry, Lin shook his hand again and again and said, "No, no, brother, you misunderstood." I was obsessed with ideas like that last time. My sister knows it's wrong, so please forgive me for the sake of my dead father. ā€

After speaking, he cried mournfully. Lin Jincai's heart softened again when he saw this, after all, he was his own sister, and he knew that he was wrong. Then he said softly: "Don't cry, it's come to this, how do you want me to help you?"

Lin Shi hurriedly wiped away his tears: "Brother, I heard that you are very familiar with the owner of the welcome house in the town, and that son has also come to your house. Is there such a thing?"

"Well, I'm not very familiar. The last time he came, he asked Xiaohan if he had any new dishes. You know that he runs a restaurant. Lin Jincai hurriedly explained.

Lin Shi looked incredulous: Just to ask for a recipe, people can still put down the shelves and come to the door in person? It's not like me, I've never even met in person. ā€

"What do you mean?" asked Lin Jincai suspiciously. Then he thought of something, and asked incredulously, "You don't want your niece to be his concubine, do you?"

Lin smiled when he heard his brother's question: "I have this idea." Brother, don't be angry first, listen to my sister's words. You also know your niece, there is nothing to say about good looks. I only have one daughter, so I want to marry her to a good family and enjoy happiness, so that I don't have to work in the fields like I do, and suffer all day long. So I never let her do any housework. Think about it, if you marry her to a poor family, where can she endure this hardship! So last time Gao Yi, the son of the sophomore master's family, fell in love with her, I was very happy, so I acquiesced. But who knew she had a tigress at home. ā€

"So you hit the idea on Han Gongzi?" Lin Jincai said coldly.

Lin was unhappy when he saw him, but for the sake of his daughter's life, he had to continue to speak: "Han Gongzi is a talent, his family is also wealthy, he is nearly twenty years old, I heard that he has not married a wife yet, and there is no one around him who knows cold and hot, it is really pitiful. The children of large families are all three wives and four concubines, of course, I dare not think of being a wife, but if I am an aunt, I can still rely on the appearance of my daughter. Brother, you are more familiar with Han Gongzi, why don't you be the matchmaker for me?"

Xiao Han couldn't listen to it anymore, and told the spring equinox who brought the tea to go to the kitchen to invite his mother and brother over. Then he went in with the tea, walked straight to Lin and put the tea down, bowed to her, and said, "Auntie, I accidentally listened to your words when I came back from the tea just now, to be honest, I really admire you." ā€

Lin looked at her in surprise, not knowing what medicine she had taken wrong. At this time, the spring equinox had already returned to the kitchen to call Chen and Lixia over, and several people were also surprised by Xiao Han's behavior.

"Xiao Han, don't mess around. Lin Jincai reprimanded.

"Dad, I'm not messing around! What I admire is the thickness of my aunt's face, which is estimated to be thicker than the walls of our house! My cousin is no longer innocent, I relied on my brother last time, and after it was exposed, this time I beat Han Gongzi's idea again, I can even think of such a ridiculous idea, do you think I can not admire it. Auntie, you really haven't changed, you're as selfish as ever!" Xiao Han shook his head and sighed.

"Haha!" Equinox couldn't help but laugh out loud, and immediately covered his mouth again. The corners of Lixia's mouth twitched, and her sister's words were still as sharp as ever.

Lin Shi was annoyed and angry: "What nonsense is your little girl's family, do you know what an innocent body is?" Oh, I understand!"

She made a sudden realization, looked Xiao Han up and down, and said with an understanding look: "Isn't it because you like Han Gongzi and want to marry him, so you object to your cousin entering the door." Why are you staring at me, aren't you? How could such a noble person as Han Gongzi suddenly come to your house, it turned out that it was to see you, and it turned out that the two of you had already received it privately. But I was coaxed to say that I came to your house for a new recipe, and I was a fool to coax a three-year-old child. ā€

I have to say that part of the truth about the Lin family, one of the purposes of Han Guining's coming to the Lin family was to see Xiao Han, but there was nothing out of the ordinary about his performance, so he didn't know anything about his thoughts about the Lin family.

At this time, everyone was very angry when they heard Lin slandering Xiao Han like this. Chen stepped forward and pointed directly at her nose and scolded: "Keep your mouth clean, don't talk nonsense there!"

Lin stood up, pushed her hand away, and said sharply: "Who is talking nonsense, this is an obvious fact. There's nothing to be ashamed of, it means that your daughter has the ability. First Tang Yun, then He Mu, I also heard that there is a Huang Erhu, and now it is Han Gongzi, tsk, Xiaohan, my aunt really admires you, you are young, but you have a lot of means. If your cousin had your skills, would I have to beg you now?"

Xiao Han couldn't bear it anymore, picked up the teacup in front of her and splashed it over.

The tea was still a little hot, Lin was caught off guard, was splashed all over his face, "ouch" stepped back, stretched out his hand, and his face was full of water and tea.

The Chen family were stunned, they didn't expect Xiao Han to be so bold. Although they were very angry, they did not do anything because of the affection of their relatives.

The Lin family had never been insulted like this in her life, and her lips trembled with anger, she stood up and glared at Xiao Han with a cannibalistic gaze: "Okay, good, Lin Xiaohan, you really have a kind! Originally, I thought that Han Gongzi was interested in you, but his family background was there, and it was impossible to marry you as a wife, only as a concubine." Let your cousin come together, and you two sisters can also help each other and take care of each other together. I didn't expect you to be so selfish and unwilling to fulfill us. You don't want me to be happy, and you can't think about it!You want to marry Han Gongzi and enjoy glory and wealth, go dream!" After speaking, he walked out angrily.

Chen caught up and shouted: "You stop for me, let's make it clear, our family doesn't have that idea at all, it's all your guess." ā€

Xiao Han grabbed her: "Mother, take care of her, she is not afraid of crooked shadows, whatever she thinks." I think she's crazy, she dares to fight any idea, she dares to say anything. ā€

"Ouch, I'm just afraid that she will go crazy and say anything, and then ruin your reputation!" Chen said anxiously.

"Mother, what are you afraid of. Your daughter and I have the ability, and I am afraid that I will not be able to find a husband in the future? Even if I can't find it, I can support myself with my own ability, and I will live a good life. ā€

Seeing Xiao Han's indifferent appearance, Chen couldn't help but sigh: Since Tang Yun's incident, his daughter has become like this. If you are so hard, what will you do in the future!

Lin Jincai had the heart to criticize Xiao Han's actions just now for being inappropriate, which was not in line with his usual gentle and humble teachings. But his sister said it so ugly, no wonder Xiao Han was angry, and he himself was also angry. Such a sister, it's better not to have it, and I should not have this relative in the future.

Seeing that his father and mother were worried and worried, he hurriedly comforted: "Father, mother, sister, you don't have to worry, if no one marries my sister in the future, I will marry! ā€

The words of the spring equinox made everyone sweep away the haze just now and laugh. Xiao Han laughed out of tears, this younger brother is so cute.

"Okay, sister, I'm waiting to be the champion lady, and when I finish going to school after the New Year, you have to work hard!"

Equinox waved his fist: "Surely, come on!"

Seeing that his father and mother finally relieved his worries, Xiao Han relieved his heart. My father and mother really hurt themselves very much, they didn't beat or scold, and they didn't even say a word of heavy words, they were simply obedient. So she wants to do her best to improve the living conditions of her family and change their fate.

However, he said that Lin rushed out of the gate angrily, and the rain outside had stopped, but it was still cold, and the road was muddy and difficult to walk.

She was holding back the fire in her heart, and she walked fast under her feet, when suddenly she accidentally stepped into a mud puddle. There were a lot of mud spots on his pants, and his shoes were wet. It's really "the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the ship was late and encountered a head wind".

She wanted to go back to her brother's house to change her shoes, but she couldn't pull her face. But the shoes are wet, and the clothes are uncomfortable, and how can I see people like this.

I really wanted to cry without tears, and when I was embarrassed, a voice suddenly sounded: "Isn't this the sister of the Lin family, go back to her parents' house?" It's a cold day, and it's really uncomfortable. If you don't get it right, you'll get a cold, so go to your brother's house and change it. ā€

Lin looked up and saw that it was Tang Yun's mother, Li Chunhua. Why is she here, Lin thought to himself, but he didn't say a word.

When Li Shi saw her like this, he already understood in his heart, and pretended to ask: "Did you quarrel with your brother's family?" I guess that Lin Xiaohan in their family is so powerful that ordinary people can't talk about her. I see that my sister can't walk home like this, so it's better to go to my sister-in-law's house to rest for a while, change her shoes, wash and dry them before leaving. ā€

Lin hesitated for a while, and couldn't think of any other way, so he smiled and said, "That's a good feeling, it's just a trouble for my sister-in-law." ā€

"Don't bother, don't you know what your sister-in-law is, you're the most warm-hearted. Seeing that the girl is like this, she hasn't eaten, right? It's not that I'm talking about them, I'm really ignorant, how can I let the guests go on an empty stomach during the Chinese New Year, it's too unusual! I just didn't eat either, let's go home and eat some together. Li greeted warmly. (To be continued.) )
