Chapter Seventy-Nine: Familiarizing Yourself with the City
"Oh? What do you want to say? The crazy old man heard that Chen Dong seemed to have something to say, and said in surprise. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Crazy old man, we want to ask you about something," Chen Dong said.
"The two virtuous nephews have something to say," the crazy old man sat up straight and said solemnly.
"I heard that there are people in the city who worship rats as immortals, I don't know if you have heard of it?"
"There are all kinds of wonders in the world, animals have spirits in cultivation, and it is not a new thing to receive incense, but these are just legends, and I really haven't seen them." The crazy old man spoke his mind.
"The crazy old man is really well-informed, he really asked the right person, what legends are there, tell me about it" Chen Dong said in surprise, Wei Xiong seemed to be interested, sat next to Chen Dong, looking forward to the following.
The crazy old man thought for a moment, as if he remembered something, and continued: "The primate of the five heads is worshiped by the common people, only to seek the peace of the house or to ensure the stability of one side, this is a well-known thing, it has been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years, but whether it really exists is impossible to investigate."
"The Spirit of the Five? And an animal with five heads? What kind of monster is this? Chen Dong was stunned and asked a few questions. Wei Xiong's mind also quickly imagined what kind of animal it would be.
"It's not a five-headed animal, which means that there are five kinds of animals that are easier to cultivate and produce spiritual intelligence, namely foxes; Weasel; Snake; Hedgehog; rats, collectively referred to as Hu; Yellow; Willow; White; Ash. Because it's hard to have a comparison, people put them on the same level, and it's not clear who comes first."
"By the way, why did you ask about that?" The crazy old man said a little and asked about Chen Dong and the others.
"We just saw it in the book, and we didn't understand it, so we came to you for advice," Chen Dong said. Wei Xiong looked at Fleur on the pond again with disdain, not knowing what to think.
"It's time for me to ask you, you were majestic last night, and you have to rely on the cooperation of two virtuous nephews in the afternoon, but where do you need my old bones?" The crazy old man lowered his voice and said with shame, Chen Dong and Wei Xiong didn't understand what he meant, especially Chen Dong had a sense of sympathy for the crazy old man, from a certain point of view, they were people in the same boat, and the three of them would smile.
"Don't worry, we'll do our best, just wait and see the show," Chen Dong assured.
The crazy old man was very satisfied with Chen Dong's answer, nodded and asked again, "Do you have anything else to ask?" ”
"It's gone...... Oh, by the way, Senior Brother Wei has something to ask you to help with."
"Oh? Nephew Wei Xian, what's the matter with you? The crazy old man turned his head to look at Wei Xiong and asked.
"Fat Dong, what are you talking about, I didn't ......" Before Wei Xiong finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Dong and said: "Senior Brother Wei, the crazy old man is not an outsider, what can't you say?"
"That's right, nephew Wei Xian, you might as well say it directly"
"Crazy old man, don't listen to his nonsense, I ......."
"Senior Brother Wei, this is not right for you, it's too outward, isn't it just borrowing some silver taels, and it's not a scandalous thing, what is there to be embarrassed to say, crazy old man, right" Chen Dong interjected again deceitfully.
"You ......," Wei Xiong said dumbly.
"Little things, small things, two virtuous nephews, you don't need to be polite" The crazy old man took out a few taels of silver from his cuffs as he spoke, and handed it to Wei Xiong.
"Crazy old man, no......"
"Senior Brother Wei, if you're away from home, it's normal for the rivers and lakes to save an emergency, didn't you say that you would buy something in the city? I'll show you the way as a senior brother, since you're embarrassed to take it, I'll thank the crazy old man on your behalf" Chen Dong looked at Wei Xiong and put away the silver in the crazy old man's hand after speaking.
"Crazy old man, let's go to the city and come back in time in the afternoon to meet you"
"It's okay, it's rare to go to the city, you can go, be familiar with the environment in the city, and remember to come back on time," the crazy old man said.
"Okay, we remember"
Chen Dong said goodbye to the crazy old man and left the pavilion, as soon as he turned around, he showed a strange face, and then quickly stepped out of the gate of the Wu family and walked towards the neighborhood, Wei Xiong's face was black and white, and he followed Chen Dong, and the crazy old man watched them chase and disappear in his eyes, showing a sincere and meaningful smile.
"Dead Fat Dong, you betrayed me! Say you borrowed it" Wei Xiong scolded all the way, and at the same time did not relax and chased after Chen Dong.
"Haha...... None of us borrow the same, I am for your good, I have done you a great favor, you will repay the kindness, do you not borrow from him, is there a silver tael? Otherwise, how can we buy what we want! Chen Dong trotted back to guard against Wei Xiong, and he couldn't stop laughing.
"You think I don't know, you're crazy"
"Senior Brother Wei, don't say it, at most I will invite you to eat good things, I am rich, quite rich"
"Shameless!"
No matter how Wei Xiong scolded, Chen Dong had a submissive expression, they walked around, went to many places, saw a lot of new things, and went to a few stalls to buy a few things. Of course, their main goal was to go to the Murong family's territory, carefully observe the surroundings, find a teahouse near there and sit for most of the day, and only return to the 'Wujiazhuang Courtyard' when the sun is westward. The mad old man happened to come looking for them, lingering at the door of the room.
"Crazy old man, are you leaving?" Wei Xiong asked when he saw the crazy old man.
"Two virtuous nephews, I have come to see you a few times, and the housekeeper came to say, saying that it was scheduled to leave at the time of Shen, I am not afraid that you will miss the time."
"Don't worry, with me looking at Senior Brother Wei, can there be any mess?" Chen Dong said proudly. Wei Xiong looked at Chen Dong with contemptuous eyes, and was speechless for his 'Senior Brother Chen'.
"Let's go to the living room in the front yard first, and Butler Wu is waiting there," the crazy old man said, and walked towards the front yard with Chen Dong and Wei Xiong.
The people in the front yard hall have gathered together, the juniors of the followers are standing behind their seniors, Wu Yuanwai is sitting in the middle and greeting everyone, and Wu is sitting beside him, ready to send at any time.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my father is old and unwell, and he has not been able to personally wash the dust for you, so please bear with me if I am negligent," Wu Yuanwai said to everyone with a smile.
"If you don't see the river that comes to you, you can't eat the red fish that comes to your stomach, Wu Yuanwai treats me warmly, and satisfies two wishes at a time, so why be lazy," Cao Yin said. And other people also expressed their agreement with Cao Yin.
