Volume 1: The young dragon arrives, and the young phoenix flies. Chapter 3: Chef Father, the tragic memories of the Shen family.

Listening to the footsteps go away, Shen Fengniang came to her senses.

"This old immortal is not bad, but he is a little reckless."

"Oops! San'er and his mother, don't talk nonsense, people are immortals, and they can hear them from miles away. Zhang's mother hurriedly covered Shen Fengniang's mouth as she spoke.

"Is it really that amazing?" Shen Fengniang asked curiously.

"But it's not, you don't know, once my man went into the mountains to hunt, and was licked by a black blind man, half of his face was gone, and he died directly. Later, he was rescued by the hunters who went with him, and they all said that this man was finished and could not be saved. As a result, someone went to the Drunken Immortal Residence and called the old fairy to take a look, guess what happened? Zhang's mother said dancingly.

"What happened?"

"Later, the old fairy took out a small porcelain bottle, dripped a few drops of fairy water in it, wiped it on the wound, and then poured a few drops on him, my man woke up after a while, and then raised it at home for a few days, and the flesh on his face also came out, and after waiting for it, he didn't even leave a scar. Isn't it magical, you say? ”

"Is it really that amazing?" Shen Fengniang asked curiously.

"Of course, since then, everyone in this village has called him the old fairy. And he's a very good person, who has a sick family in the village, a disaster or something, as long as he is looking for him, he has never shirked and is on call, otherwise how can he be matched with the word "fairy"! Zhang's mother raised her chin and said.

"I see, that's a really good man." Shen Fengniang smiled and nodded.

"But it's strange to say, usually this old fairy is always steady, after seeing your third son today, how can he be reckless." Zhang's mother wondered.

Shen Fengniang lowered her head and pretended to work, but did not answer.

As the sun set, Shen Feng's father, who had been busy with farm work for a day, rolled up his trouser legs, carried a hoe, hummed a small tune, and walked into the house leisurely. Shen Fengniang was waiting at the door early, still holding a bowl of water in her hand.

"Official, you're back, you're tired, come and drink saliva." Shen Fengniang said softly.

"It's okay, I'm not tired, but I'm really a little thirsty, is San'er naughty today? Goo, goo......" Shen Feng's father finished speaking, gulping down the water.

"Everything was fine, but when I was stewing fish in the afternoon, San'er was naughty and climbed into the pot, fortunately ......"

"Poof, what? Why didn't you say it earlier! Before Shen Fengniang finished speaking, Shen Feng's father squirted out a mouthful of water, and before he had time to wipe his mouth, he ran towards the house.

Went into the house and picked up the sleeping Shen Feng, touched it left and looked right.

"Official, don't worry, I haven't finished my words just now, San'er is fine, and then an old fairy came to show San'er, and it's no problem from the inside out." Shen Fengniang followed up the house and said comfortingly.

"Hey, it scared the hell out of me." Father Shen Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

"What old fairy?" Father Shen Feng suddenly became vigilant.

So, Shen Fengniang told everything that happened today.

"Is it really that amazing? But where did this doll start? Then there is how an old fairy suddenly came out, what is the origin of this old fairy? Shen Feng's father said as he took a bite of fish.

"Oh! By the way, Zhang's mother said before leaving, this old fairy came to Zhouzhuang not long after we moved here. Shen Fengniang added.

"Isn't it a bit of a coincidence? After that happened, we moved here, and then an old fairy appeared, and he always felt that something was wrong. Father Shen Feng shook his head and took a sip of wine.

"It can't be the guys, right?" Shen Fengniang said worriedly.

"Probably not, if it was that group, it should have been done a long time ago, no matter what, the one who should come will always come, and tomorrow I will meet this old fairy, hey!"

"Bang!" Father Shen Feng's eyes stared at the front, and his hand slapped the table fiercely.

"You light, scared San'er, when you go tomorrow, you must be careful." Shen Fengniang whispered while breastfeeding Shen Feng.

Father Shen Feng shrunk his neck, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll be careful." ”

"What guys, that thing? Daddy seems to have some secrets? Shen Feng thought happily while eating.

The next morning, Shen Feng's father was still wearing the farmer's clothes, carrying a hoe, and walked towards the drunken immortal residence in the town.

Walking on the streets of the town, following the aroma of wine and food, it is easy to find the drunken immortal residence. When he first moved to Zhouzhuang, Shen Feng had not yet been born, and due to the great changes in his family, Shen Feng's father often came here to drink alcohol.

At that time, the drunken immortal residence was still a tavern, and the owner was very shrewd and very good at trading. It's just that at that time, when I went there to drink, there were only a few ordinary smoked pickles and small cold dishes, and there were only a few kinds of wine. It's only been less than a year, and I've already cashed down a shop next to it, doubling the scale. It seems that business is good.

"Boss Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, and business has become so good?" Father Shen Feng and Boss Li greeted each other.

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Shen? It's been a long time since you've been to my shop. Boss Li said enthusiastically.

"No, my wife gave birth to a son for me again, and I haven't been available." Shen Feng's father said with a smile.

"Oh, congratulations! When you make wine for Ling Gongzi, you must remember to take care of my small shop. "Boss Li said polite words and didn't forget to do business.

"Definitely, definitely." Shen Feng's father was also polite.

"Mr. Shen, what's going on today? Our new chef is counting on him for such a good business, so you can also try his craft and give some advice. Boss Li said in his mouth, his hands were not idle, and he wiped it with a rag on an already clean table.

"I'm not here to eat today, I'm here to find the old fairy!" Shen Feng's father waved his hand again and again.

"Ahh I'm here to find the old fairy, he's our chef here. I'll take you to him, come with me. "Boss Li didn't look disappointed at all. After that, he took Shen Feng's father to the backyard.

"Chef father? Ah, ah, then there is Boss Lao Li in front to lead the way. Father Shen Feng was slightly stunned, and followed Boss Li to the back.

Boss Li opened the door of the room, and suddenly a thick water vapor, mixed with the fragrance of steamed buns, came to his face, forcing Boss Li and Shen Feng's father to retreat to the bottom of the steps.

Then a person walked out of the water vapor, fanning the water vapor in front of him with his left hand, and wiping his right hand on the dirty apron.

"Boss Li, the last ten drawers of buns are out of the pot, you let the guy clean up, I'll go back to see my granddaughter, and come back before lunch." Since there was no one to see, people were shouting.

Boss Li said respectfully: "Hard work, Master Wei, please stay first, there is a Mr. Shen who came to the front to find you, and I brought him." ”

"Oh? Mr. Shen is here? Come with me, this is not a place to talk, it's dirty and messy, hahahaha! With that, he pulled Shen Feng's father and walked to the back door.

"Huh? Okay, okay, Master Wei, slow down, slow down......" Shen Feng's father was pulled out of the small door by Master Wei before he could react.

Master Wei's house is separated from the backyard of the Drunken Immortal Residence, and the yard is cleaned up, with a stone table and four stone benches in the courtyard.

As soon as Shen Feng's father entered the house, he saw two extra-large wooden basins on the side of the wall in the house, which were filled with water, but the strange thing was that it seemed that there was a flash of green light in the water.

There is a clay kang in the house, cleaned up very cleanly, there is a cradle on the kang, and there is a baby girl lying quietly in the cradle, with a pink little face, long eyelashes, two big grape-like eyes that are crystal clear, looking at the ceiling, a little bit of cherry, as if muttering something, very cute.

At this time, Master Wei took a bowl of water and said, "Shen Daguan, drink water, and there is no tea prepared at home, so you will settle, haha!" ”

Father Shen Feng took the bowl, put it on the kang table, and bowed deeply to Master Wei, "Old Immortal Wei, thank you for saving your life. ”

Wei Lao hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Shen Feng's father's arm, and helped him up, "Shen Daguan, don't be polite, when the old man arrives, Ling Lang is no longer in trouble, I just helped check if there are any internal injuries." ”

"Then I also want to thank the old fairy, and then I'm just a farmer, but I can't afford to be an official." Shen Feng's father lowered his head and hugged his fists.

"That old man is only a little familiar with medical skills, and the word fairy is also a bit exaggerated, just call me Wei Lao. But the Shen family in Huzhou is a businessman, and the word "official" is ...... It doesn't seem to be an exaggeration according to the old man, right? Shen Lao looked at Shen Feng's father meaningfully.

Shen Feng's father trembled, "What does Old Wei mean by this?" ”

Wei Lao touched his beard and smiled slightly, "Hehe, the Shen family in Huzhou has been in business for generations. Shen You, Shen Yuanwai, is kind and benevolent, helping the poor and helping the poor, and is well-known in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Did the old man say wrong? ”

As soon as these words came out, Shen You trembled, took a step back, and said, "How does Elder Wei know?" ”

Wei Laoyi grabbed Shen You's arm, gently pressed him to the kang, and said softly: "Please sit outside, the old man has no malicious intentions, and I also had a relationship with Ling Zun when I was young, and we talked very happily, so we can be regarded as friends." ”

Shen You leaned against the wall weakly, silent, as if remembering something, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "I remember, when I was young, I heard my father mention that once his caravan passed by Yunding Mountain and was trapped by bandits. ”

Shen You paused, as if trying to recall, "Later, I learned in the chat that this Spirit Crane Layman's name is Wei Wuji. My father and this Wei Jushi talked very speculatively. Later, my father wanted to promise gold and silver as a reward, but Wei Jushi refused, but agreed that if Wei Jushi passed through Huzhou, he would definitely come to the house as a guest. ”

The more Shen You spoke, the more excited he became, and then his voice trembled a little: "Could it be ...... Could it be that you are, the Spirit Crane Monk Wei Wuji? ”

Wei Lao squinted his eyes and nodded slightly: "It's the old man." ”

At this time, Shen You had already got up with tears in his eyes and prostrated on the ground: "Uncle is above, please accept the nephew's swing." ”

Wei Lao hurriedly got up and helped Shen You up: "Nephew, hurry up, hurry up, if you have anything to say, say it slowly." ”

At this time, Shen You couldn't cry anymore, and the man in his thirties was trembling all over, which showed that he had suffered a great grievance, and it was impossible to speak for the time being.

Wei Lao gently stroked Shen You's back, and when he recovered a little, he asked softly, "Nephew, I actually followed you to Zhouzhuang." That day, I passed by Huzhou, remembered my agreement with my brother, I inquired all the way to the past, smelled a smell of blood far away, and went in to check, the scene was very miserable, and there was no one alive, after coming out, I looked at the back of you and your wife hurrying away, afraid that you would be harmed, so I followed, and the strange thing is that there was no one who harmed on the way. ”

Shen You tried to control his emotions and said: "Actually, I don't understand what's going on until now, that day Mrs. had an unbearable headache, I was afraid that there was something unusual, so I accompanied Mrs. to the hospital to check, and when I came back, I heard screams in the hospital, but I didn't have any martial arts, so I and my wife secretly hid in the grove to check the situation, who knew that a man in black jumped out of the courtyard, I thought that we were going to die in Huangquan, somehow, the man in black returned to the courtyard, and then my wife and I fled in a hurry, all the way to Zhouzhuang, With the only money he had, he bought a depression and two huts here, and hid. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Youyou suddenly choked up: "It's just that I pity my two sons who died tragically, I haven't even seen the last one until now, and there are more than forty men, women and children, but I don't have any martial arts, and I don't dare to go back." Damn it's me......"

"You don't have to go back, a few days ago, I saw that you were okay here, so I went to Huzhou, and saw that your home had been sealed by the government, and a notice was posted in the city, saying that your home was looted by gangsters, and there was no one alive, including you, all the properties under the name of your Shen family were all returned to the government. But the government is not too desperate, and the dead are buried thickly. Wei Lao shook his head and said.

"It doesn't matter what is outside the body, it's just that I haven't kept the foundation that the Shen family has accumulated for generations, and my two poor children, woo woo......" Shen You almost collapsed.

Wei Lao lifted Shen You's leg onto the kang so that he could be relieved, and gave him a pill.

When Shen You got better, he said softly: "Virtuous nephew, the matter has come to this, please mourn by the way, fortunately, your wife gave birth to a son for you again, which is also a blessing in misfortune, and it is also your Shen family." ”

Shen You didn't speak, just choked and nodded slowly.

"And think about it carefully, did your Shen family have a grudge against anyone, and you are so vicious." Wei Lao looked at Shen You with concern.

Shen You covered his face with his hands: "Our Shen family has always done good deeds and accumulated virtues, not to mention doing good deeds every day, but I have never remembered who I have a grudge with." Woohoo......"

Wei Lao touched his beard and said, "That's strange, it's so vicious, and there is no one left alive." ”

Wei Lao paused and then said: "It's useless to be in a hurry now, you can think about it slowly." It's just that you have to pay attention to your third son's physique. ”

Shen You raised his head, looked at Wei Lao worriedly and asked, "San'er?" What happened to San'er's physique? ”

Wei Lao thought for a while and said, "Has anything strange happened to Ling Lang since he was born?" ”

Speaking of Shen Feng at this time, Shen You temporarily walked out of his sadness, thought for a moment and said: "If you say something strange, it is that every time San'er has a cold, his body is so hot that he must be placed in a water tank to relieve it. ”

"That's it, Ling Lang was born with a physique that is different from ordinary people, and he must be carefully conditioned from a young age, otherwise he will die." Wei Lao said firmly.

Shen You stood up anxiously: "Is this true?" So uncle, how much time do I have left for my hard-working son? ”

Wei Lao stretched out five fingers and said affirmatively: "It's less than a palm." ”

"Huh?" Shen You sat on the ground and said in a lost voice: "Heaven is the best for my Shen family, my hard-working third son." ”

"Don't worry, nephew, listen to me, although Ling Lang's physique is dangerous, if it is carefully adjusted, it may be a blessing in disguise, and it is not known." Wei Lao squatted down, looked at Shen You with a smile, and comforted.

Hearing that Shen Feng was saved, Shen You immediately came to his senses: "How can I get a blessing in disguise, please ask my uncle for advice." ”

"Come and see." Saying that, Wei Lao took out a porcelain bottle from his arms: "As long as you take one drop of this liquid every day and pour it into warm water, let Ling Lang soak it for half an hour, you can ensure that it is safe and sound within five years, if you encounter a rise in body temperature again, pour two drops, and it can be relieved." ”

Shen You carefully took the porcelain vase and bowed: "My nephew has thanked my uncle, I can't thank you for saving my life!" ”

"Xie doesn't have to, but there is one more thing, I wonder if Mrs. has talked to her nephew?" Wei Lao asked with a smile.

"I'm confused now. I hope my uncle reminds me. Shen You said embarrassedly.

"Ahem!" Wei Lao coughed lightly, "I've already calculated, Ling Lang and my little granddaughter are very harmonious, and they are the same age, I want to make a baby with my nephew, I don't know what my nephew wants?" ”

"Ahh Yes! Shen You suddenly realized, bowed down and saluted: "Not to mention that my uncle and my Shen family have saved their lives several times, even if my father is alive, he will not be able to object." ”

"What do you mean, nephew?" Wei Lao asked knowingly.

"It's all up to my uncle, and my nephew can't ask for it." Shen You bowed again.

"Haha, that's the best, that's the best!" Wei Laole couldn't close his mouth.

"Then tomorrow, I will give the third son's birthday to my uncle." Shen You said.

"Okay, you can go back and get some rest today." Wei Lao said.

"Uncle, let's find a place to have a drink or two, and show my cousin's gratitude." Shen You said.

"No need, it looks like it's going to be noon, and the drunken immortal residence is going to be a guest, and I have to go to work." As he spoke, he patted his apron, stood up, and walked out.

Shen You didn't show it for a while, and muttered in his heart: "A dignified Linghe layman, why do you want to go to a tavern to be a chef?" ”

Just thinking in his heart, Wei Lao had already walked to the door.

Shen You hurriedly caught up, and said loudly as he ran: "Uncle, if you leave, why don't you put your granddaughter in my house and let my mother take care of it?" ”

Shen Lao's voice came from afar: "No need, the girl is very well-behaved, she will be fine, and the jackals, tigers and leopards can't get close to him." ”
