Chapter 4: A mixture of joy and sorrow
After leaving the antique shop, I chose to walk, because I hadn't seen Chen Guishou for a long time, and I couldn't go empty-handed, so I planned to buy some melons and fruits along the way, so as not to lose my etiquette.
Chen Ghost Hand is very old, I don't know the specific age, but I once heard Wu Fatzi say that Chen Ghost Hand is at least an old man in his eighties, and even said that when Wu Fatzi's grandfather was still wearing open crotch pants, Chen Ghost Hand had already become famous.
Chen Qiuyu is a piece of Chen Ghost's heart, for the sake of his granddaughter, Chen Ghost's hand has to set up a stall to tell fortunes at such a big age, in order to let Chen Qiuyu continue to live.
Now that Chen Qiuyu has recovered, Chen Ghost will naturally be able to enjoy his old age in peace.
I thought he would be like the other old people, usually raising flowers and birds at home, and then just finding someone to play chess to relieve his boredom.
But I heard Chen Qiuyu say that Chen Ghost Hand actually went to the antique market to set up a stall to tell fortunes and see what he was looking at.
This made me feel a little surprised and surprised, and I don't know if his old man's body is still tough or not.
Carrying the things I bought, I followed Chen Qiuyu into the passing market one after another.
Today's weather is very good, it's only early in the morning, and the antique market is full of people.
A stall seems to be very hot, there are a lot of people around the front of the stall, and one of the fat-headed and big-eared guys, who seems to be a latecomer, is shouting loudly while squeezing in.
When I look at it, I can't help but be happy, isn't this Wu Fatzi.
The reason why Wu Fatzi is fat is because he can eat and sleep, and generally this thing will not get up until three poles in the morning, so he raises such a body of pork fat.
However, there are exceptions, that is, it is unprofitable and cannot afford to be early, maybe the things in this stall are really good, so Wu Fatzi will start to be an early bird who wants to eat insects.
"Alas, isn't that Uncle Xiaoshi!"
Chen Qiuyu obviously also saw the fat man Wu who was squeezing into the crowd, and was about to say hello.
Seeing this, I shook my head at Chen Qiuyu and said with a smile: "Alas, forget it, let him make it up if he likes to join in the fun, let's not bother him to pick up the leaks and make a fortune." ”
In fact, I haven't been with the fat man for a long time and sighed for a long time, so I decided to wait until I met Ghost Chen's hand, and then I made an appointment with Wu Fatzi to reminisce about the old days.
And now, because I am with Chen Qiuyu, the two of us are very good, and I don't want Wu Fatzi to mix blindly.
After a while, I saw the stall of Chen Guishou from a distance, and now that my granddaughter has woken up and is in a good mood, the cards of the stall have become louder.
The tents, tables, and banners are complete, but some of the other stalls are too deserted.
But in this way, Chen Ghost was also idle in his hands, sitting on a chair with Erlang's legs crossed, wearing a pair of sunglasses, holding a teapot in one hand, and not knowing what he was fiddling with with the other, shaking his head and humming opera on the radio.
"Grandpa!"
Chen Qiuyu walked two steps quickly, and when he arrived at the stall, he called Chen Ghost Hand.
"Hmm!"
After agreeing, Ghost Chen said: "Xiaoyu, how many times has grandpa told you, this kind of place is very crowded, don't always run here if it's okay, you know." ”
"Got it, grandpa, let's see who's coming."
As soon as he heard that a guest had arrived, Ghost Chen drank a cup of tea unhurriedly and said, "Who?" Got a guest? Sit down, sit down, is it to look at marriage or career? ”
"It's not grandpa......!"
Chen Qiuyu wanted to speak again, but I directly grabbed her and motioned her not to make a sound, and then I sat quietly opposite Ghost Chen's hand.
"That Chen Shensuan, I don't look at marriage or career, I'm here to see your old man."
Obviously, hearing my voice, it was very familiar, and Ghost Chen took his eyes down to look at me, and immediately smiled.
"Xiao Dongzi, it's you kid, but I want to kill the old man!"
"Senior Chen, I've been in good health recently, this is a little bit of the junior's heart, please smile at the old man." As I spoke, I put all the things of the pair on the hexagram table.
"Oh, you kid still have a little conscience, you haven't forgotten me, an old man, smile, you must smile, come to Xiaoyu, take it quickly!"
Chen Qiuyu smiled helplessly, put all those gifts under the hexagram table, and then said to me: "Xie Dongzi, the weather is so hot today, I'll buy you a cup to drink, you talk first." ”
As she spoke, Chen Qiuyu smiled and slowly disappeared into the crowd in front of my eyes.
I was staring at Chen Qiuyu's disappearing back, but was interrupted by a light cough from Ghost Chen's hand, "Dongzi, my granddaughter is beautiful, right?" ”
"Well, pretty!" I replied casually.
"Why don't you think about it, wouldn't it be good to be my grandson-in-law?"
"Well, wow! No...... Senior Chen, that I ......! ”
Seeing my panicked appearance, Chen Ghost continued to smile and said: "Okay, although I am old, but these eyes are not flowering, what is the situation of the two of you, I am like a mirror in my heart, as long as Xiaoyu is affectionate, you are interested, I raise my hands in favor, if you don't object, then I will find a chance to talk to the eighth master about your marriage." ”
I really didn't expect Ghost Chen to be so open-minded, it really made me ecstatic, the joy in my heart couldn't be concealed at all, it was all on my face, and I couldn't close my mouth with joy, just like a stupid boy.
I was in that beautiful place, but I found that Ghost Chen's hand suddenly became serious, which made me nervous all of a sudden, thinking that there would be no more requirements.
Unexpectedly, Ghost Chen's hand opened his mouth again, but what I was talking about had nothing to do with the matter between me and Chen Qiuyu, and what he talked about was about my father.
"Dongzi, although I haven't seen you for a long time, old man, I know exactly what you have done during this time, you kid is famous, and now many people are looking for you!"
"Looking for me? What are you looking for me for? I asked, a little confused.
Ghost Chen looked around left and right at this time, and then leaned in front of me and said, "What else can I do, of course I want your life!" ”
"I want my life!" I exclaimed softly.
Ghost Chen shook his head helplessly and said, "What do you think, in order to avenge your mother, you first killed the kid of the Lou family in Jiangnan, and then killed your mother's uncle, do you think people will let you go?" ”
I just thought about it when I heard Chen Ghost Hand say this, I was indeed too ostentatious during this time, although Lou Tianguan's death or disappearance no one would be involved with me, but because I often acted with the dragon claw, I was inevitably recognized by many people, maybe it was because of this that I was targeted by the Lou family in Jiangnan.
As for the Xue family in Changsha City, the damned ones are all dead, and only the Xue Nanfeng who looks a little similar to me is left, shouldn't he want to kill me to avenge his father who is not his own father?
"Dongzi, looking for your father has to be a long-term consideration, now you have to save your life first, things are often not as simple as you think, as far as the old man knows, there are still many people who want you to die, you have to be careful, I don't want my Xiaoyu to become a widow before she waits for the door!"
Ghost Chen gave me a honey pot, and then poured a basin of cold water on me, freezing me to the point of almost being seriously ill.
"Well, I know Senior Chen, I'll be careful." I nodded silently in response.
Then I stood up straight, said goodbye to Ghost Chen, turned around and walked away.
Walking into the crowd, I suddenly felt like I was facing a great enemy, and I even felt that everyone who walked by me had bad intentions towards me.
I quickened my pace and shuttled through the crowd, skipping Chen Qiuyu, who passed by me, and Wu Fatzi, who was happy because he picked up the leak.
I didn't go back to the antique shop, but ran straight ahead, and before I knew it, I was on the banks of the Yellow River.
Looking at the turbid waves, my heart became more solemn.
