Chapter 384: Envy
Hearing Li Chuan say this, he didn't say anything anymore. It's just that after saying a few more words, Wukong found that Li Chuan suddenly had no sound, and after a closer look, he actually fell asleep.
I had no time to move Li Chuan back into the house and find a quilt to cover it.
When Li Chuan woke up the next day, he looked blankly at the beam of the room for a long time, and it was not until he got out of bed and walked out of the door that he remembered why he was here.
There was a lot of dust in the house, Li Chuan rubbed his nose, walked to the courtyard, and found water in the water tank, he scooped some water with a water scoop, drank two sips, and then found a broom and rag, and cleaned the house roughly. After doing this, he felt a little sweaty and hungry.
When he was about to go out to find something to eat, he walked into the house from the front with a basket on his back, and when he saw Li Chuan, he said, "Are you awake?" Then he threw a cake wrapped in oil paper to Li Chuan and said, "I bought it on the road, thinking that you should also wake up." ”
"Well, just woke up." Li Chuan took the oil paper bag, took a bite of the baked cake, and said, "Is it from the store at the intersection?" ”
"Yes, it's the one you frequent," said Wukong, putting the basket aside and saying, "I'll dig up some wild vegetables and come back, and I'll send them to Brother Tong later." ”
"Okay." Li Chuan finished eating the baked cakes in two bites, clapped his hands, and said, "Let's go, I don't know if Brother Tong is still at home, he has been going out early and returning late." ”
"Definitely." I'm sure that I don't have time.
"What's wrong?" Li Chuan asked.
"You'll find out when you go." There is no time to sell a pass.
Li Chuan looked at his expression and felt that it shouldn't be a bad thing, so he didn't continue to ask. The two of them picked the wild vegetables and grapes, divided them into two portions, and then walked to Tong Luo's residence.
Where Tong Luo lived, the door was open, Li Chuan looked inside, but he didn't see anyone. After knocking on the door a few times, Wukong shouted: "Brother Tong, come out quickly, see who is coming." ”
Soon, Li Chuan heard a sound of footsteps, and then saw a sturdy man walk out. When Tong Luo saw Li Chuan, he was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward quickly and said, "Benefactor? You're back? When did you come back? Without waiting for Li Chuan to answer, he turned around and shouted, "Erniang, come out quickly, the benefactor is back." ”
Then he ran back to the house, and after a while, he helped Zhuo Erniang and walked out again.
Li Chuan saw Zhuo Erniang's appearance, and finally knew why he had no time to reply that Tong Luo had been at home recently.
Zhuo Erniang was a lot fatter than when she saw her last time, holding her stomach with both hands.
When Zhuo Erniang was about to salute him, he hurriedly said, "Don't don't," he hurriedly looked around and said, "Find a chair quickly, hey, you hurry back to the house to rest, don't come out." ”
"It's fine." Zhuo Erniang smiled and said, "The doctor told me that I have to walk more every day." ”
"Oh, that's right. That ......"
"Come inside and talk." Tong Luo said.
"Okay, you help your sister-in-law first." Li Chuan said.
The three of them sat down in the room, and after Zhuo Erniang also returned to the inner room, Li Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at Tong Luo and said, his eyes were full of admiration, and said, "Brother, amazing!" ”
He was very envious and said, "If I come back a few months later, you will already be a father." ”
Tong Luo smiled, a little shy, and said, "I didn't expect it either." I originally wanted to wait for Erniang to give birth, write a letter to the capital, ask you to give the child a name, if you can hurry, come back and drink a full moon wine. ”
So Li Chuan asked: "How long will it take to produce?" ”
Tong Luo said: "It is estimated that there are still two months. ”
Li Chuan counted the days and said, "At that time, I may be in the Four Divine Palace, or I may have set off for other places." When the time comes, I will ask Daoist Wen if he can come back. ”
Tong Luo was very happy to hear this and said, "I'll wait for you to come back." ”
Li Chuan said: "Don't wait, if it's a name, I'll go to the book later, think of a few good ones, you can pick one when you arrive." ”
So Tong Luo was even happier. After knowing that they were going to Cen Blacksmith, he said that they would go together.
Li Chuan was a little worried that Zhuo Erniang was alone at home, Tong Luo explained: "It's okay, I go out to work during the day, but I go out later, no matter whether I can catch the prey or not, I will definitely come back before sunset." And the neighbors around are all familiar, they often come to Erniang to do needlework together, as well as Liu Po and Miss Pan, who also often come to help. ”
"That's good." Li Chuan said.
After that, Tong Luo said hello to Zhuo Erniang, and after going to get a dried deer leg, he set off with Li Chuan Wukong.
They rode over in a carriage, and soon arrived at the blacksmith's shop at Cen Blacksmith. When Blacksmith Cen saw Li Chuan, he was also very surprised, and said, "Why did you come back at this time?" ”
He tasted a grape and said, "This grape has only been planted for a year, and it will definitely not be delicious, and it will not bear fruit in the first year, and even if it bears fruit, it will be small and sour." If you come back next year and try it, maybe it will be sweeter. ”
Li Chuan said stiffly: "Sweet is not sweet, but I think it is quite delicious, better than what I have eaten in the capital." ”
Blacksmith Cen didn't believe him at all, and said, "You are on an errand in the Qin Heavenly Prison, and the grapes sent to you are all carefully selected, how can they not be as delicious as this?" ”
"This is my family's, it's different." Li Chuan said.
Blacksmith Cen didn't argue with him anymore, he picked up the air-dried deer leg that Tong Luo had brought, went to the fire, washed the pot, and stewed the deer leg.
Li Chuantong found a place to sit down by himself, and after chatting a few words, he went to the cabinet to find a few bowls, found hot water in a familiar way, and made tea and brought it over.
After Li Chuan took a sip of tea, he asked Wukong: "Have you ever seen Jiang Bai later?" ”
"Brother Jiang? I haven't seen it, what's wrong with him? "No time to ask.
"He's missing." Li Chuan said, "His twin brother, Jiang Song, has always been able to feel him before, but he suddenly couldn't feel it a while ago, and he used the Taoist method to deduce, and the result is that there is no such person as Jiang Song in this world." ”
"How is this possible?" Tong Luo said.
Li Chuan said: "That's it, now Jiang Song is back to Qingzong for help, and Qin Tianjian is also using secular power to check his traces......"
"What's wrong with Brother Jiang?" Blacksmith Cen walked over.
So Li Chuan said it again.
Cen Blacksmith said, "I really didn't see him again after he left, but ......"
"What?" Li Chuan asked.
"Your sister-in-law Zhu, when she came back last time, she said that there was a rich businessman who spent a lot of money to recruit capable people to go to Yuanjiao Forest to kill a python demon and avenge his son. Among the people who went, there seemed to be Brother Jiang. ”
"When?" Li Chuan immediately asked.
Blacksmith Cen thought for a moment and said, "About four or five months ago. ”
