Chapter 04
"Sir, sir, what do you think of my dress?"
"It's good-looking, Madame looks good in anything."
"Sir, sir, how about we raise this cat? It looks so pathetic."
"Okay, it's all up to you."
"Master, if I give you a daughter, will you scold me for being useless?"
"No, my daughter is fine."
···
"Master, I'm leaving." "Go? Where are you going?"
"Take care of our daughter, I named her, Wei Chi Wei." "Where are you going?"
"Take care of the anise, sir."
Wei Chijing opened his eyes suddenly: "Madam!"
His eyes were full of mourning, and it had been eighteen years since she left.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Do you have nightmares?" Wei Chi Wei asked Wei Chi Jing with concern.
"No, no, I just dreamed of the past." Wei Chijing smiled.
This middle-aged man is thin, but he has his own literati style, he has the air of poetry and books, and his beautiful hair hangs down.
"Dad, you don't dream of cicadas, do you?" The daughter asked.
Wei Chijing was a little puzzled: "Dreaming of cicadas? What do you mean?"
"It's like, I had a dream last night, and I dreamed that I turned into a cicada, and someone rescued me..." Yu Chi Wei told Yu Chi Jing about his experience last night.
"This..." Wei Chijing didn't know what to say for a while, "You mean that lame old Taoist priest said don't cut down that peach blossom tree, right?"
"Yes, I don't know what the situation is, so I'll talk to you, but I think I should find the man I saw in my dream, the portrait is ready, please take a look, when the whole city is like this, I don't believe I can't find him."
Wei Chijing looked at his daughter, a little crying and laughing, he knew that his daughter had been assertive since she was a child, but it was just a bizarre dream, maybe it was just a dream.
Therefore, Wei Chijing didn't pay too much attention, but looking at his daughter's appearance, he couldn't help but ask his daughter to take out the painting and show it to himself.
After looking at the portrait, Wei Chijing didn't know how to speak, and after pondering for a while, he asked.
"Fen'er, this monkey you drew is indeed very handsome, but is this monkey too human-like?"
The portrait painted by Yu Chi Wei is a handsome appearance of a golden retriever, born with six ears, it is indeed the Monkey King, to say that people are not untouched, the body shape is indeed almost the same as people, it can be said that the big horse monkey is a little bigger, but it is indeed extraordinary, and this monkey is dressed in golden armor, which can be described as majestic and heroic.
"Daddy! It's people! It's people! He's handsome!"
"Huh? You're not a woman?!" Wei Chijing asked Yu Chi Jing quite happily.
"Daddy! It's human! But it does... This person does feel like a monkey to me, and it's like that... It's a very powerful monkey, like a great general."
"General? Monkey? I have heard people say that a temple of the monkey general was built in the North Underworld, and it is said that this monkey general can pray for blessings in the town, drive away evil spirits, subdue demons and subdue demons, and send children to seek marriage.
"Alas, Dad, even if I dream, I will dream of those little ladies, how can I dream of a monkey, no, the person I dreamed of last night really rescued me from the dream." Wei Chi Wei said seriously.
Seeing that his daughter was so serious and serious, Wei Chijing couldn't help but put away his contempt.
"Dad will take care of this, but speaking of which, Fen'er, what do you think of your Aunt Yun?" Wei Chijing asked Yu Chi Jing tentatively.
"Daddy... I'm already an adult, if you want to continue the strings, continue the strings over there, I won't say anything, after all, I don't like men, and you can't find a son-in-law to inherit our big business, so let's have another brother while you're still strong." Wei Chi Wei said without thinking.
"Alas, it's my dad who is sorry for you."
"Dad, you didn't feel sorry for anyone, it's just that she left too early." Yu Chi Wei also sighed, "If my mother left when I remembered, I would definitely disagree now, but my mother gave birth to me and passed away, and there is only life grace left between me and my mother..."
That's true, but she was also called a "motherless child" by ignorant children.
Wei Chijing looked at his daughter's somewhat gloomy face and rubbed her head, only then did he realize that the child had become slim.
It would be nice if he could like boys, but it would be okay to like girls, after all, he knew that some things had some love, and it was best if he was happy.
The two love each other, not bitter, not sad, not sad, not sad, is the great joy.
Even if you like girls, it's okay.
It's just a little hard to say, and it's all right.
"Then, after a while, I will go to make a marriage contract with Yun Niang, and then ask someone to be a matchmaker."
"Dad, you can take care of it yourself, I'll find someone to inquire about the news first." Yu Chi Wei said, and left with the scroll.
Wei Chijing looked at the back of his daughter's departure.
Like a departed wife.
He bowed his head a little lonely and walked to the courtyard.
The peach tree in the courtyard was full of branches, and he slowly walked to the peach tree, sat in the shade, leaned back against the tree, and thought about the past.
Involuntarily, he fell into a drowsiness.
When he woke up, there was a lame old Taoist priest standing in front of him, the old Taoist priest was wearing a tattered white Taoist robe, goosebumps, and a bitter face, but there was a burst of peach fragrance on his body.
"Lord Wei Chi, could you please not cut down this peach tree?"
"Why should I cut down this peach tree?" Wei Chijing asked the old Taoist priest rhetorically.
"Alas, this is difficult to explain, but you and I, will you go to my cave to rest for a while?"
"This? Is there something wrong?" Wei Chijing was a little resistant, after all, he didn't know the face but didn't know the heart, and he didn't know if the old Taoist priest had other thoughts in his heart.
It's just that the old Taoist priest squeezed out a smiling face: "It's not in the way, my cave is not far from your house."
After finishing speaking, the old Taoist priest helped Wei Chi Jing up, and that Wei Chi Jing got up without resistance and walked a few steps forward with the old Taoist priest.
After dozens of steps, it suddenly became clear.
He didn't know where he had got, but he suddenly followed the old Taoist priest to a spacious cave.
It is said that it is a cave, but it is not a cave, but it is not a stone wall, but an earthen wall, but there is a tunnel dug out.
The tunnel extends in all directions, and the cave is very spacious, like a large hall, but also like a house, and the damp giant tree penetrates deep into the floor and turns into the ceiling, and in this ceiling there is a circular skylight, which casts a little sunlight and provides a light source for the cave.
Wei Chijing could see that there were Taoist children who did not know geometry in this cave, reciting unknown scriptures.
「··· Small knowledge is not as good as big knowledge, and small years are not as good as big years. Do you know what it is? The fungus does not know the obscurity, the cockroach does not know the spring and autumn, and this small year is also. There are spirits in the south of Chu, and the age is spring and the year is autumn; In ancient times, there was a great tsubaki, with 8,000 years old as spring, and 8,000 years old as autumn..."
In addition to the Taoist children, there are also silent virgins.
"These children... Whose family is it?" Wei Chijing felt that this old Taoist priest did not look like a good person.
"These children are all the children of my former friends, and the children of my friends have given birth to children, generation after generation, all of them have grown up in my cave, and I have watched these children grow up from generation to generation."
"But why don't the girls speak?"
"They won't speak."
"What? How is this possible?"
"Because they were born unable to speak, I beg you not to cut down this peach tree, for if you cut down this peach tree, neither they nor they will be able to speak again, and neither will I."
"No, it's with you
What does it matter if I don't cut down trees? These children should have a broader deed, not that they can't learn the Tao, but they should always read and write... Also, are your heirs a little too irresponsible, and don't care about the child when it's born? What's that?" Wei Chijing was very dissatisfied, but it was not aimed at the old Taoist priest.
"Because..." The old Taoist priest said.
But the sound gradually lengthened, became distant, and became something else.
"Sir, sir, why are you sleeping here?" The servant woke up Wei Chijing.
"I seem to have had a dream, but I don't seem to remember clearly, but I remember not to cut down this tree." Wei Chijing thought about it, but he couldn't remember most of the dreams.
"Let's take care of this peach tree these days, it's been eighteen years, and it's grown very big."
Wei Chijing was quite emotional and a little sentimental.
——
Qin Yuelou and the girl in front of her stared wide-eyed.
On the way to Wei Chi's Mansion, when I was about to find someone to post it, I recognized Qin Yuelou at a glance, so I directly invited Qin Yuelou to find a teahouse at random, and the two sat down like this, ordered a pot of tea, some pastries, and chatted.
"Sir, were you a little too rough with me last night?" Yu Chiwei asked Qin Yuelou carefully, she was afraid that her tone and tone would make Qin Yuelou unhappy, and she would be pinched to death again.
"Pain, I can wake you up, although I can spit fire and burn your dream body to death, but that is not enough, because if I vomit fire, you will only die all at once, and you will not feel the pain, because the temperature is too high, you will not have time to feel the pain, and this will not achieve your purpose of waking up."
"Then you can't turn the temperature down a bit?"
"The temperature is lowered, and the fire is even more uncomfortable, so it's better to pinch it to death."
"Okay, that's not going to happen for now, anyway, I have to thank you, what do you call you, sir?" Wei Chiwei asked Qin Yuelou.
"Don't give your surname Qin."
"Okay, Mr. Qin, in fact, I want to thank you, but something happened to my family recently, that is, last night, you listened to me..."
Wei Chiwei recalled the situation last night and explained to Qin Yuelou.
"Well, I know what you mean, in fact, I came to you this time for this matter, generally speaking, ordinary people's dreams will not be like you... Well, sensitive, it's not easy to realize in a dream that you've changed your racial gender, and if you don't have my factor, there's probably something else in your house."
"You mean... Are monsters doing it?"
"Did the monster just tell you not to cut down trees? There are very few monsters that are so reasonable, and they are very blue." Qin Yuelou couldn't help but recall the days when the Hu family blasted the hammer and those unpopular little demons.
"People can reason with you, it means that people have a request for you, forget it, I'll go with you and see the situation in your house."
"Then thank you, sir, for your trouble, the Wei Chi family will definitely give you a generous gift afterwards." Wei Chi Wei thanked him.
"No need, I didn't rely on this to eat, and after achieving financial freedom, I don't have any other thoughts about money or anything, I'm just here to investigate." Qin Yuelou waved his hand, "It's rare to say, this monster of your family doesn't look like that kind of monster."
Qin Yuelou couldn't help but think of the snail girl Shaye.
"Aren't all monsters the same?"
"Whether it's a monster or a human, they all have brains, people have good people and evil people in the popular sense, and demons also have good and evil demons in human values, it's hard to define." Qin Yuelou twisted up a piece of pastry.
After chewing a little, I swallowed the tea.
In fact, he is a little unaccustomed to eating mung bean cakes, and it is okay to eat one or two occasionally, but if he eats too much, he will feel sweet and sweet.
After eating, Qin Yuelou went to the Yuchi Mansion with Yu Chi Wei, but Qin Yuelou did not make a big fuss, but turned into the Wei Chi Mansion from the outer wall and went directly to the peach tree.
He took a closer look at the peach tree, caressing the trunk of the peach tree, revealing a po
Come for a warm smile,
Then a lame old Taoist priest appeared in front of him.
After taking a closer look, Qin Yuelou said.
"Senior, I can see your roots, I will help you convey your request, in the past ten years, you can be regarded as saving the fortune of the Wei Chi family."
After the old Taoist priest heard Qin Yuelou's words, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Thank you, thank you."
"It's okay, it's okay." Qin Yuelou waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay."
Then, the old Taoist priest disappeared again, and Qin Yuelou also found Yu Chi Wei.
"That peach tree can't be cut down, protect it, the old Taoist priest you saw is protecting your family's luck, a bit similar to the Baojia Immortal, with a clean body and a harmless heart." Qin Yuelou said to Yu Chi Wei, holding a peach in his hand, and eating it.
"Really? Thank you, sir." Yu Chi Wei replied, "But I'm still curious, what kind of demon that old Taoist is."
"Sometimes, you need to find some answers yourself, so you might as well connect things together, and when you suddenly realize something, you will feel that some things are amazing." Qin Yuelou said, throwing the peach pit into the warehouse, "As for the reward, I have already obtained it."
"What's the pay?"
"A recipe, engraved in the depths of memory, recipe." Qin Yuelou said.
Thinking back to that peach tree, he couldn't help but think of "Xiang Zhi Xuanzhi".
[There is a loquat tree in the garden, which was planted by my wife in the year of her death, and now it has been covered with a pavilion. 】
In eighteen years, Wei Chi Wei came out and was slim.
That peach tree is also as slim as a cover.
