Chapter 125: The Story of the Table and the Town
Perhaps the fortune operator was too sincere in telling the truth, and after the man in the corner ended the game with a hand on the bar, the two teenager-looking people stood up and gave up their positions.
Bu Operator then pulled Wang Xiaohua to sit at the table.
Wang Xiaohua never thought that she would have to play cards at the table.
And he didn't hold the old Taoist's hand and sat on the opposite side, and this little Taoist boy who was not afraid finally panicked.
"I can't see..... And won't fight. ”
Wang Xiaohua said very panickedly.
Bu Operator said: "You can touch it casually, fight it casually, they can't win against you." ”
Wang Xiaohua hesitated for a moment before she said softly, "Okay." ”
It's just that Wang Xiaohua can't see it after all, and it's a game of cards or stumbling.
It's just that not long after she struggled to touch the cards and played them indiscriminately, she heard the voice of the fortune operator coming from the opposite table.
"You're nonsense."
Wang Xiaohua was stunned.
I thought that the fortune operator was talking nonsense again, but it was obviously true, because the three of them had already begun to shuffle the cards.
Wang Xiaohua sat there stunned, thinking to herself, could my dog really win a lot of money when he came up?
The second game began quickly.
This time, Wang Xiaohua's luck was probably not as good as before.
It's just that the two of them, who had been silent before, began to talk nonsense while touching the cards - this is what Wang Xiaohua heard.
"Senior brother, I actually don't believe it."
This is the voice of the person sitting on Wang Xiaohua's right hand, which sounds a little habitually lazy.
He's talking about senior brother, who is his senior brother, a fortune operator, or someone else?
When Wang Xiaohua was thinking like this, she heard another person's voice.
"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, but I really haven't been to the rumors."
The voice was a little low, perhaps a man who didn't smile.
It seems that the two of them should be brothers.
Xiaohua, the king of rumors, knows, it's a place over there in Daze, but believe it or not, what are you talking about?
"Seventy thousand." The person with a lazy voice was playing cards, perhaps to let Wang Xiaohua hear the reason, but the two people in this game opened their mouths to report the cards. "I haven't been there, so what have you been hiding in the East China Sea?"
"Bump."
Another voice spoke quietly, followed by the sound of some cards being touched from the deck.
"It's not hiding, I've been here all along, it's just that you haven't found it, three cylinders."
The lazy voice smiled and said: "Yes, I thought you would run outside the world, so I went to the East China Sea and walked through those 490,000 miles step by step, but I didn't expect that you would play cards here." ”
"After all, this is your world, where you want to go, you can go naturally, I use a hiding word, obviously not suitable, but senior brother...... It's your turn to draw the cards, Wang Xiaohua. ”
Wang Xiaohua was listening attentively, and she heard the lazy voice halfway through, and suddenly came to herself, and then she reacted.
I didn't have time to think about why this person knew that his name was Wang Xiaohua, so he hurriedly touched the cards, rubbed them twice, and felt that it should be a tube from those faint circular patterns.
Don't you need this card on your board?
Wang Xiaohua is a newcomer to the table, but she only vaguely knows some rules.
So he called out and whispered as little as he could, "One tube." ”
The card table is like a deep mountain and an ancient well, a tube that no one wants, and naturally there is no wave.
The owner of the lazy voice was probably playing the cards, very rubbing, and continued.
"But senior brother, if you don't dare to put some things on the surface, it means that you have a ghost in your heart, you may not be hiding from the world, but you are avoiding me, chicken."
The meaning in this sentence seems to be a little deeper.
Wang Xiaohua was a little apprehensive when she heard this, and she was always worried that the two were talking, so she turned the table up.
Just didn't wait for another person's voice to come, and the diviner on the table smiled softly and said, "Touch." ”
The conversation at the table was interrupted for a while.
Only the sound of some code cards was rustling.
Wang Xiaohua listened intently.
The conversation at the poker table was interrupted for a long time with the fortune operator's hand-to-hand hand, and it continued very boringly.
After a long time, after Wang Xiaohua typed out a whiteboard, the lazy voice spoke again.
"Hongzhong, the arm bones of the green hanging suspension, are they there for you?"
This sentence carries a strong sense of questioning.
Wang Xiaohua's heart and eyes unconsciously raised.
It's just a pity that there is still no answer.
Bu Operator said very timely: "You are nonsense again." ”
Wang Xiaohua was a little dazed and thought about her cards, was she really nonsense?
It's just that no one at the table has any objections, maybe it's really nonsense.
Wang Xiaohua knocked down the pile of cards and began to rub the cards.
It's just that this time I rubbed for a long time, only to find that I was the only one rubbing mahjong in the dark.
The other three seemed to sit there quietly, not moving.
Wang Xiaohua's movements stagnated there, hesitated a little, felt the somewhat solemn atmosphere on the table, and asked cautiously, "Are you still playing?" ”
It was a long time before the deep voice slowly spoke.
"Hit."
"Blablah, blah, blah."
Then the sound of rubbing cards sounded again on the table.
After drawing the cards again, the lazy voice laughed and pushed the cards down.
"I've been playing cards for so many years, but it's the first time I've been a day."
Wang Xiaohua sat there stunned, what a day?
That's the end of the game?
"For the New Year, you always have to eat dumplings."
The man who may not be smiling is speaking in layman's terms.
"What's more, Tianhu on the card table is just on the card table."
The man pushed the card, and the chair behind him creaked, perhaps leaning in.
The lazy voice said calmly, "At least in the first moment of the Thousand and Four Years of the Great Wind Calendar, Destiny chose me. ”
The sound of rubbing cards sounded again, and Wang Xiaohua just rubbed the cards blankly.
His brother's voice was equally calm.
"You are all people who look at fate, in fact, you know better than anyone else, fate is incomprehensible, and you know better than anyone else what is unsatisfactory in the will of heaven. Maybe the will of God is indeed on you this year, but what about the will of the people? The arm bone of the green hanging sucptus is in my hand, and someone sent it to Huaidu. And you went away from the rumors, but you suffered a sword in the long river of years. God's will is yours, but man's will is mine. ”
The chair creaked again, perhaps because the man had sat up straight, and the sounds were getting closer.
"What's more, whether it is providence or human will, it is not important. Back then, the lame man chose Gouqian, and tomorrow's heart also chose Gouqian, even if it was Cong Zhongxiao, he was more optimistic about my childhood playmate. But so what? ”
"He chose to die by the Nanyi River many years ago, and who in the world would have thought that it was me who changed this world?"
"Providence and man's will are nothing more than foreign things, and their own decisions are fate."
"Besides, you shouldn't call me Senior Brother."
"But Your Majesty."
The mahjong may have been stacked, but no one moved it anymore.
It's very quiet in the card hall.
"Yes, so Your Majesty, it's time for you to go back to earth."
This sentence was not spoken by the lazy voice.
It's a divination operator.
The second game of the year 1,000 was not opened.
The house was silent.
Wang Xiaohua didn't know if they had left, but Bu Operator walked to his side, took his hand again, and then walked towards the night snow outside the card hall.
There was no sound in the card hall.
Wang Xiaohua felt the cold snowflakes that fell on her face again, although the outside was not as warm as the inside, but she breathed a long sigh of relief.
Holding the hand of the divination operator, he walked with this old Taoist in the snow street of the town.
"So what are we doing here?"
Wang Xiaohua was a little inexplicable.
Inexplicably mixed into a hand game, and inexplicably played two hands.
Then there seemed to be some quarrel.
"Be a peacemaker." The voice of the divination operator was a little heavy.
"Will they fight?"
"I don't know." Bu Operator said slowly, "But I'm afraid they will fight." ”
"Will it hurt the world? Doesn't it say that when a cultivator fights, he has to pay homage to the world? ”
Bu Operator said softly: "If you have cultivated to their level, you can't be polite in the world. Unless they don't fight on earth. ”
"If you're not in the world, where are you going?"
"To the depths of the desert, to the East China Sea for 490,000 miles, to the edge of the River Styx, to the endless deep ocean." Bu Operator said very verbosely, but he really began to look like a chattering old man.
"Only when there is enough buffer space can we truly honor the world."
Wang Xiaohua looked back over there.
But in fact, I can't see anything, it's just a sign of dazed and some panic.
In the last paragraph in the card hall, she naturally understood a lot of things.
The man with a deep voice is His Majesty in the world today, the Demon Emperor Kamigawa.
The owner of the card shop who went home for the New Year probably wouldn't know that two people who seemed to be homeless, and a Taoist who suddenly led the little girl to come, would be the highest ones in the human cultivation world today.
"Are they still there?"
Wang Xiaohua asked very uneasily.
"Yes."
"Then let's go, will they fight?"
That kind of panic prompted Wang Xiaohua to ask this question again.
Bu Operator was silent for a long time, quietly looking at the end of the long street.
In a place where Wang Xiaohua couldn't see, two teenagers in the years went away from each other.
"Maybe, because this time, probably they really fell out."
"Why? Because of that bone? ”
"Yes."
Bu Operator said softly, taking the hand of the little Taoist boy and heading out of the town.
"But we can't control it, and we can't persuade it, if the people on the cliff are still there, we may be able to persuade some, but now that the people on the cliff are gone, no one in the world can persuade them."
"What about the world?"
"Pray, pray that the two of them can solve some problems in a harmonious manner."
This old man, whom the world calls three feet away from his fate, is speaking the most powerless words in this snowy town.
Wang Xiaohua squeezed the hand of the divination operator.
The two left the town.
It's like the Taoist said.
.......
Chen He's sizzling tofu is indeed a must-have in the world.
Chen Huaifeng felt that even if it was orthodox on the Huangliang side, it would probably be spicy at most.
But Chen He, a person who travels south and north to relax in the world, makes the tofu fragrant and tender, although there is a reason why he doesn't know where to buy the tofu is really good, but that wonderful seasoning is not given by the tofu itself.
On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Chen Huaifeng ate four pieces of tofu in one breath and drank two pots of hot wine with a strong guilt for the way of health preservation.
Chen He just sat on the side with a smile, drinking wine and watching.
For a cook, the greatest achievement is to make his own food, even the soup is drunk.
Although Chen He is not a cook, he also has this sense of pride.
The two of them were under the eaves of the snowy street, drinking wine and eating all kinds of food very comfortably.
It's not just sizzling tofu.
Chen He just went to buy some tofu, but as he said, renting a house is really just a person to celebrate the New Year, staying in this snowy street, it is the whole town to accompany him for the New Year.
So on the streets where the fireworks in the world were gradually rising, from time to time, people from the town would take food and run over to deliver food to the two people sitting on the stove on the snowy street.
There are reunion balls, there are more than every year, and the two of them eat very heartily in front of the wind and snow on the street.
Xu Chunhua from the wine shop at the end of the town also brought them two pots of warm wine, probably guessing that this person who came down from the mountain from time to time to chat with Chen He would most likely accompany him for the New Year.
Probably had already had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at home, so Xu Chunhua did not rush back, and accompanied the two to watch the snow and fireworks under the eaves for a while.
This small town girl wore a floral dress that day, held a small white umbrella, stood under the eaves, and looked at the splendor of the sky very quietly.
"Where do you think he's spending the New Year now?"
Chen He drank wine and said with a smile: "How do I know about such a thing? You didn't ask him where he was going. ”
Xu Chunhua thought to herself that I was angry at the time, and I had to be patient to ask?
But of course, I didn't say such words, I just looked at it for a long time, lowered my head again, looked back at Chen He who was sitting opposite the stove under the eaves, and said with a smile: "Happy New Year." ”
Chen He smiled slightly and said, "Happy New Year." ”
So the town girl holding a small white umbrella and wearing a small flower skirt walked towards the town in the snow in the large fireworks.
Chen Huaifeng didn't say anything, just held the sword, held the wine jug, and watched comfortably with a smile on the side.
Although Chen He knew that Chen Huaifeng was not thinking about anything serious, he didn't pay attention to his very strange smile, just drank wine, and by the way, pinched a meatball and threw it into his mouth.
Probably the family that sent the meatballs to Chen He steamed the meatballs with the chicken, so there was something wonderful about the meatballs.
Eating the balls, I heard Chen Huaifeng on the side say with some regret: "I can see that she is not interesting to you." ”
Chen He shrugged his shoulders and didn't care.
It's just that for Chen Huaifeng's inexplicable regret, I think it's very strange.
"This has nothing to do with you, what do you regret?"
Chen Huaifeng drank wine and made tea, and said with a soft smile: "Why do people who watch dramas like to watch dramas? Because they like to substitute for it, otherwise they will watch a play. ”
Chen He thought for a while and said, "Then what will you do?" ”
Chen Huaifeng took a sip of wine and said: "I don't know, I'm not such a person, and I won't say something that makes people very happy, on the contrary, I often do things that make the world unhappy, so probably nothing like this will happen." ”
Chen He thought about the cauldron on the back of Qingtian Dao, and thought to himself that it was not just to make the world unhappy, if it weren't for the good temper of Qingtian Dao now, plus you are a member of the Sword Sect in the world, it is estimated that you would have sent the River Styx earlier.
"But this kind of thing can't be said well, don't people in the world like to forget, there will be repercussions? I think so earnestly that the person who marries his wife may one day meet a sad girl in a rainy alley. ”
Chen Huaifeng drank wine, but began to joke about himself.
Chen He also chuckled softly and said, "Maybe so." ”
The two of them were drinking, and it was probably the last minute of the end of the year, and the town began to become more and more lively.
There are constant fireworks in the world.
Maybe it's because it's not far from Huaidu, although there are not as many fireworks in this town as there are in Nanyi City, but there are all kinds of tricks, which are very beautiful and fascinating.
Chen He looked at it with a smile, not knowing what he was thinking.
And Chen Huaifeng also had some smiles, but he was a little distracted.
Probably thinking about the distant Nanyi City, as well as some juniors and disciples in the city.
The two of them looked at each other for a long time, then lowered their heads, looked at each other and smiled, and raised the wine jug in their hands and collided.
"Happy New Year."
This is the most sincere and best wish in the world.
Just like a long time ago, Chen He stood on the listening platform, overlooking the bustling and lively Nanyi City, and said very brilliantly and wantonly, wishing me to be happy and leisurely in this brilliant world.
Short and lengthy phrases.
It's all the same warm mood.
Whether you will be happy forever in the world, or whether you will be really happy in the New Year, is actually not important.
When it all starts again, there must be some good wishes.
The two of them drank the wine in the pot, and then quietly watched the fireworks with a smile, and there seemed to be a brighter sky in the distance.
There is Huaidu.
It is the mountains and rivers that are separated, and the night is both places, and you can see the kind of light that brightens the sky.
On the long street of the town, a young man wearing the past Qingtian Dao robe was walking over with a slight smile, until he stopped under the eaves, he raised his hand to sweep the snow on his shoulders, looked at Chen He and Chen Huaifeng and said softly: "Happy New Year." ”
Chen He replied with a smile and a happy new year.
Good wishes, of course, have to be said over and over again.
"The town under the mountain is indeed much warmer than the mountain." The young Taoist named Jiang Shanxue smiled slightly, and stood on the street with the two of them looking at the scene of the town. "I've seen it all on the mountain."
It is rare that there is such a lively time in the middle of the night, except in some big cities, such as Nanyi City, such as Huaidu.
But it's rare to celebrate the New Year, you can say some blessings, and the town is also never sleeping.
Jiang Shanxue said, looking at Chen Huaifeng on the side.
"It's just senior brother, it's time for you to go up the mountain."
