Chapter 14: The First Snow
"Shhh Chen Xiaodong had been holding back the pain all afternoon, and finally couldn't bear it anymore in the last class, so he asked the head teacher for leave and rushed home.
Chen Hongzhi has a yard in the old residential area nearby. The location is unbiased but there are few people.
Chen Xiaodong entered the door, and a man wearing a Taoist robe, his hair coiled into a glaive crown, and a pair of leather shoes under his feet were sitting on the sofa in the living room.
"Master!" Chen Xiaodong's eyes widened, this handsome young man who looked to be in his twenties was a noble man in their family! He called himself commonly known as Li Shouchang, who used to be a Taoist priest of the Quanzhen Dragon Gate, and now he is a doorman of the Natural Gate, and he has a high status in the alien world, he is in his forties this year, but he has the skills to stay in his face, and he looks very young. Chen Xiaodong and his father were all taught by him, and last time they wanted to forcibly incorporate him, he also came forward to settle it.
"Huh? Xiaodong. Li Shouchang had a playful smile on his lips, "You seem to have been interrupted by someone." β
"What! Master, this is impossible, the whole body is fine, it is the left hand...... Left hand, can't move? β
Li Shouchang held his head in one hand and mocked: "Good apprentice, I originally wanted to cultivate you, but unfortunately the meridians of your left hand were broken and you were born damaged, so don't think about refining Qi in the future, and be an ordinary person honestly." β
"What do you say! What about me, my father? I don't believe it! My dad must have a way! He won't leave me alone! Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Chen Xiaodong shouted: "I just have pain in my left hand, how can I be so seriously injured!" β
"Your father? He recently fell in love with a woman, and he was thinking about how to kill her husband and refine his soul, how could he care about you? Hahaha! β
"The surname is Li! You speak well! You're just my father's dog! Do you dare to scold him? β
"Chen Xiaodong!" Chen Hongzhi suddenly appeared at the gate of the courtyard, "How dare you speak to your master like this, kneel down and make amends!" β
"Dad, Dad......" Chen Xiaodong was at a loss, hesitated for a while, and finally knelt at Li Shouchang's feet. Master, the disciple is wrong, I, I am not a human! You old man help me! I can't do it, wouldn't I be the same as those garbage without Qi? β
"Boss Chen, your son said that I was your pug, did you say I was?" Li Shouchang cocked Erlang's legs, this sofa is really soft.
"Teacher! The dog is impulsive and makes a mistake, you can't take it seriously! Chen Hongzhi suddenly sweated profusely, "Everything in my Chen family is given by you, you know, I am not a person who forgets my roots!" β
"Master! The apprentice is wrong! Chen Xiaodong raised his right hand, and "pop" was two big mouths. "The apprentice lost his words for a while, you must forgive me. I was wrong! Woowoo woo ......"
He burst into tears.
Li Shouchang said in his heart, You two are quite capable of pretending, but he made a lot of expressions. "Oh, oops, Xiaodong, you just have too strong a temperament, just like when I was young, but I can't help your injury, use the method of Guan Qi to see that you are indeed useless, and it is just a dead end to practice again - but you can ask your father to help you take revenge, after all, your father's talent is still above you, plus my ghost talisman, it won't take long, tsk."
"Rebel, what kind of immortal did you provoke me again? Tell me what happened! β
Chen Xiaodong truthfully told the two of them what happened in the afternoon.
"Guang Shao, I remembered, Guang Yaobang's second son, I could have developed him into a big backer of our family, and you kid messed up!" Chen Hongzhi frowned and said, "But this is a reason for our two families to contact......
"Daddy!" Chen Xiaodong looked at him incredulously.
One punch hurts a person's meridians like this? Li Shouchang thought: Could it be the wishful thinking of the Lu family? Impossible, how can anyone in the northwest practice Ruyi Jin? Still practicing so well? Or is it the rushing palm of Jiajia Village? This kid is talking nonsense.
"Teacher, you also heard it, this opponent is not simple." Chen Hongzhi's face was full of unwillingness, "Although Xiaodong is usually naughty, he has never fallen behind in his homework, this is not the enemy of others!" The key people took the initiative to come to the door, and I had to guard against them, for the sake of safety......"
"Okay, okay, don't you just want more ghost talismans? I can't do it without a living person, can I? You still need to work hard, Boss Chen! But the soul you made this time is good, it's not in vain that I came here on a special trip, hahaha! Li Shouchang went out with a smile, and the big iron gate was kicked by him.
"Daddy!" Chen Xiaodong's eyes were cracked.
"Son, bear with it, now we can only rely on him. You have grown up, we now have to focus on the revitalization of the family, and your aunt's family has fallen, and this task is up to us to complete! Our Chen family is destined to step on other people's heads! No one can stop you! Chen Hongzhi's eyes showed a fierce light, "I am practicing for thousands of miles now, and when I refine the "ink muscles and soft bones", Li Shouchang will never be my opponent!" β
"Son, don't worry! With my tricks, I'm sure I'll be able to heal your hands in the future! Let's have a good relationship with the Guang family now, and when I go up, I'll take revenge on you!" β
"I understand...... Dad, it's all because I'm not good at learning! Chen Xiaodong whimpered, "My son used to be ignorant!" β
β¦β¦
"I heard that Chen Xiaodong took leave to go home." Guang Shao Road.
"Alas, I still shot hard, I hope I didn't hurt him too badly."
"What the hell? Let's go to the movies tomorrow, Takeshi Kaneshiro. β
"Okay."
β¦β¦
It's snowing.
This is the first snow in Suzhou this year, a thin layer, hanging from the window.
There is no class on the weekend, this day happens to be the birthday of Guangshao's sister, Guangshao went home last night, and invited many people in the class to go to the Suzhou Hotel at noon today to celebrate his sister's birthday.
Of course, Tang Muzhi also has to go.
When she met Xu Jingrong in the cafeteria, she asked him, "At the same table, aren't you cold?" β
Today she wears a pair of skinny jeans and a lapel coat that is nondescript, but not ugly.
Tang Muzhi found that he was still wearing a single piece from last month, and he could faintly see the flesh color.
Perhaps thinking that his family background was not very good, Xu Jingrong gritted his teeth and said: "I have my father's cotton clothes in my bedroom, I'll give it to you." β
"Hey, no thanks." Tang Muzhi waved his hand.
"When you're cold, just say, I don't think my dad's clothes are old-fashioned and refuse to wear them."
"Good. Let's go celebrate Sister Guangshao's birthday at noon. β
"Me? I don't know his sister either, do I? β
"I don't know either, it's so crowdedβpeople ordered a big cake."
Xu Jingrong didn't speak.
ββ¦β¦ Go buy a gift. "Tang Mu's way.
"Then you promise me one thing!"
"Okay."
"I haven't said what it is......"
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I'm limited in my abilities. β
Early in the morning, the snow did not lighten, but became heavier. It was as if countless goose feathers were floating in the sky. These goose feathers were alone in the crowd and could not fall to the ground for a long time.
The two of them had snow on their heads, and everyone walked with their heads down. Tang Muzhi was wearing Xu Jingrong's father's cotton coat. It's old-fashioned, but it's a lot warmer. Tang Muzhi thought of Tang Yuan.
There was no one around, empty, white, with no trees, only an old telephone pole standing in the middle of the worldβwhite smoke from the large chimney of the power plant in the distance was a little unreal to see on this day.
Like a dream.
