Chapter 8: Shocking on a Rainy Night

Xiao'anzhuang is full of croppers who do their duty, and there are not many fields, and most of the grain grown is sold and exchanged for silver. In addition to corn and sorghum, there is only a small amount of wheat that is left for self-eating.

The sparkling wheat is ground into flour and is meant to be kept for special days, or to be eaten by the strong laborers of the family. These days, my father's health is not good, so my mother is ruthless, and she takes out some white noodles to make cakes, but I didn't expect that my father didn't eat a few bites, so he brought it all to himself.

With tears in his eyes, Chai Shien wrapped the egg firmly in the cake and ate it in a big gulp. The wind and thunder outside were tighter, and it was a heavy rain, and Chai Shien regretted it a lot.

From childhood to adulthood, I don't know how many things I have caused because of his mouth. But he shouldn't have said anything today that would make Lao Shu speak such a bastard. There was no water, Chai Shien stiffened his neck and swallowed the last bite of bread, and fell down irritably, muttering in his mouth, "That's what I said, what do you say you are doing with me? ”

He tried to imagine what it would be like if the people in the Zhuangzi knew that it was he Chai Shien who had accompanied them for many years, witnessed their growth, marriage and children, and even the old tree full of children and grandchildren withered, and he suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with sleeping in the ruined temple. After all, compared to being scolded and beaten every day, this bit of suffering is nothing at all.

Chai Shien was so tired and sleepy after such a long journey, that he curled up on the straw and fell into a groggy sleep before the raindrops the size of beans fell.

I don't know how long I slept this night, Chai Shien dreamed for a while that the people in the kitchen were chasing him and shouting and shouting to kill, and then dreamed that his father and mother were tied up by them and knelt aside, their faces covered with bloody scabs. Chai Shien shouted in his dream, "One person does things and one person does it, this matter has nothing to do with my father and mother, if you want to settle accounts, come to me!"

Xu was distressed and angry, or perhaps because the shouting was too loud, Chai Shien woke up from his dream in a cold sweat.

The rain had stopped, and there was already a slight chill in the night, and the smell of rain-moistened grass in the air made Chai Shien feel more or less familiar. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sat up, and at the beginning of the sunny day after the rain, a bright moon hung in the night sky, and it also illuminated the temple gate within three feet.

At this moment, Chai Shien and everyone were sleepy, and the matter had come to this, and he had to force himself to think about the next road. Thinking of the situation when he and his uncle went to Baozhou City to deliver firewood to Zhang Dahu's family, Chai Shien had confidence again. As long as he is willing to work and endure hardships, he will definitely be able to support himself, maybe he can break out of the world, and he can make a great difference, and he can take his father and mother to Baozhou City to live for a long time!

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that maybe this was an opportunity that God had given him so that he could show his strength.

"It's raining so hard that I've wet Lao Tzu's fur!"

Suddenly, a rough voice came from outside the ruined temple. Chai Shien did not have any candles at hand, and the temple was pitch black, and even if there were people outside, they could not see what was going on inside. Judging from Chai Shien's past experience, the owner of this voice must be a character who is not easy to mess with. When he is alone, he can do less or less, this is also the truth that Chai Shien's mother taught him.

Thinking of this, Chai Shien looked around nervously, just in time to see the offering table behind him. Although the table circumference on it was in tatters, it was not a problem to cover his body. At that moment, Chai Shien crept in, and secretly looked out through the gap.

"Forget it, it's just a few drops of rain, what do you do with such a big fire?"

As another, slightly slower voice sounded, two figures walked in from outside the temple. When Chai Shien saw it, he immediately opened his mouth wide, and an exclamation had gushed out of his throat, but it was strangled by his hands next to his teeth.

It wasn't the villain he had imagined that came in from the outside, but a colorful tiger and a spotted leopard with a semblance of shape.

"Fangcai, are they talking?" Chai Shien couldn't help but pinch his thigh hard, to prove that this was not a conjecture in his sleep, he was completely stunned.

First the old locust tree, then the tiger and leopard, all of them spoke, but it was because they had bumped into something dirty that they encountered so many strange sounds.

The tiger sat down with his back to Chai Shien, less than two feet in front of him, and said to the spotted leopard in a loud voice, "If you hadn't taken such a good deal, you would have to go to Baozhou City, and because you closed the city gate one step late, how could you be drenched in soup?"

"Big brother, what are we doing this time?" The spotted leopard seemed to be still in the clouds. The tiger turned his head sideways and said very mysteriously, "We are going to Baozhou City to find someone!" The spotted leopard nodded as if he didn't understand, "Oh, I see." How old is this person we are looking for, what does he look like, what are his characteristics, and what are we going to do after we find him?"

Chai Shien couldn't help but feel that this spotted leopard didn't look very smart. The tiger said, "This person is called 'Son of God' by the people in Baozhou City, and he is extremely famous. With a little inquiry, we can find him. When we find it, we just have to ......"

The tiger did not continue, but raised one of his front paws, bent it hard, forming a shape similar to a fist, and said in a vicious voice, "That person told me that the divine son is comparable to Tang Xuanzang, as long as you eat him, you can increase your spiritual power for a thousand years!"

Chai Shien shuddered, and couldn't help but gasp. He couldn't help but worry about this "god son" he had never met. Although Chai Shien didn't read much, he had heard the story of "Journey to the West".

The four Tang monks and apprentices traveled west to learn the scriptures, and there were nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties along the way, except for those glamorous goblins who wanted to marry Tang Xuanzang, the rest of them were going to eat his flesh in a vain attempt to live forever.

According to this tiger, this "son of God" is comparable to Xuanzang, and he will not have less trouble in the future. If you can take the first step, you can give this "god son" a letter before the tiger and the leopard. A few taels of silver will definitely be in hand, and maybe you will skip those links in the middle and go straight to the top.

Thinking of this, Chai Shien began to gear up, hoping that the tigers and leopards outside would leave quickly, and when the city gate was opened, he would immediately enter the city to deliver the letter!
