Chapter 381: Uninvited Guest
When he traveled through the Ten Prefectures and passed through here, it happened that the North Sea was frozen, and he wondered why the villagers in this area had been closed for several days, so he went out to the beach late one night. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Che tore a small piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and his brows furrowed.
"And then, what happened?"
Mrs. Chen, who was on the side, didn't notice the expression on Xiao Che's face, but asked very eagerly.
Then, he came across the legendary demon dragon. ”
After swallowing the piece of meat in his stomach with the bitter taste in his mouth, Xiao Che clapped his hands.
"Is Grandpa Xiao having a good fight with that demon dragon?"
Mrs. Chen asked excitedly.
"Nope. ”
Xiao Che shook it, took a sip of the water from the kettle on his waist, and rinsed his mouth.
"He, the demon dragon and the demon dragon's friends drank wine all night, ate meat all night, and sang songs all night on Wind and Thunder Mountain. ”
He said indifferently.
However, this answer confused Mrs. Chen.
"Doesn't this demon dragon like to do evil and eat people? Why is Grandpa Xiao willing to drink wine, eat meat and sing with him?"
He asked.
"Because the demon dragon is not an evil dragon, he is just a homeless outcast who has been expelled from his homeland, and he only walks the ten states to collect the treasures of the ten states, and wants to exchange these things for his father's forgiveness, as for cannibalism, it is just a rumor that it is an enemy. ”
Xiao Che said.
"Then what's the matter with him being trapped in this North Sea?
Mrs. Chen asked.
He hurt his soul and became more and more manic when he fought with those enemies, and he wanted to die but still had a trace of the thought of being forgiven by his father, so in order to prevent his mad self from hurting the innocent, he let his best friend, that is, the Taoist, seal himself, and only allow one day a year to come out of Beihai, go to this wind and thunder mountain to meet old friends for a while, and come to the Dragon King Temple to worship his old father. ”
When he said this, Xiao Che seemed to remember his grandfather, and his expression became a little gloomy later.
But Mrs. Chen looked extremely excited after hearing this.
"This big brother Long, he is really a good man with affection and righteousness, if we can really meet this time, I will definitely talk to him and drink well!"
He clenched his fists excitedly.
From the first day Xiao Che knew him, he knew that he was very interested in these chivalrous bowels, so it didn't mean anything at the moment, but he just teased a little:
"Brother Huanlong, if he is still alive, he will be enough to be your grandfather's grandfather, and I remember that you poured a glass of wine. ”
"If you have the same temperament, you can be called a brother even if you are a hundred years older, and a truly chivalrous person doesn't care about age!"
Mrs. Chen said seriously:
"And I've been drinking a lot better!"
"Little brother, this sentence is very much in line with me, it is good, it is very good!"
Just as Chen Tai'a's words fell, an old man's hearty laughter suddenly came from outside the temple.
Hearing this voice, Xiao Che instantly became alert as if instinctively, and suddenly drew a short stick and turned to stand up.
"The old man smiled, I just said it casually. ”
What Xiao Che didn't expect was that Mrs. Chen didn't seem to have much surprise at this old man who suddenly appeared at the gate of the temple, but looked at the old man at the door with a smile and an embarrassed look.
"Casually speaking, it is true and insightful, and the little brother is not shallow. ”
The old man gave Chen Tai'a a thumbs up and then praised.
"Where, hey, hey......"
Mrs. Chen was praised by the old man and waved her hand a little embarrassed.
Ahem!
Xiao Che on the side gave him a blank look, coughed, and then looked at the old man at the door.
"The old man is so cold at night, what are you doing on this mountain?"
Xiao Che asked directly.
"The old farmer went up to the mountain in the morning to collect medicine, and he forgot the hour in the deep mountains, and when he came out, he found that the sun had gone down. ”
The old man smiled, looking a little embarrassed.
"As soon as I entered this deep mountain and old forest, my eyes were dark, and I really didn't know the sun and the moon. ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Chen felt that what the old man said was reasonable, and nodded approvingly.
"Idiot ......"
Xiao Che heard this and gave Mrs. Chen a blank look.
"The old man hasn't eaten much for a day, and he just smelled the aroma of the fish soup in this temple from afar, and I wonder if he can go in and ask for a bowl of fish soup to eat?"
I saw that the old man standing at the door spoke again, he looked at the soup pot behind the two of them, swallowed his saliva and begged.
"No ......"
"Absolutely!"
The old man's identity was unknown, Xiao Che's first reaction was to refuse, but he was interrupted by Mrs. Chen as soon as he spoke.
"This fish soup, old man, you have to drink as much as you want!"
Mrs. Chen patted her chest and said very boldly.
"Then I'll be unceremoniously annoyed. ”
The old man did not mean anything humble, and walked directly into the temple with Mrs. Chen.
"Don't bother, don't bother!"
Mrs. Chen waved her hand again and again.
"Old man, sit next to me, it's very warm here!"
As he spoke, he welcomed the old man to his side, and took out a small bench that he had made by the way when he was repairing the temple a few days ago and placed it beside him.
The old man smiled, then let out a long breath and sat down beside the fire in perfect comfort.
"Brother Xiao Che, you haven't drunk your bowl, I'll give it to this old man!"
Mrs. Chen reached out and took the small wooden bowl that Xiao Che hadn't had time to hold the soup in, didn't pay any attention to the cold look on Xiao Che's face, and directly scooped a bowl of soup from the hot pot and served it to the old man.
"Humph......"
Seeing that the people had already come in and sat down, Xiao Che knew that it was useless for him to say anything, so he snorted coldly and didn't speak again, but he was silently vigilant in his heart.
"Thank you, thank you, little brother is really a bodhisattva. ”
Taking the fish soup from Mrs. Chen's hand, the old man took a sip and then exhaled a hot breath with a look of enjoyment.
"Don't say that, old man, a bowl of fish soup is nothing. ”
Mrs. Chen said with a smile.
Xiao Che on the side grinned, and tore a piece of rabbit meat with his mouth without saying a word.
He can see that as long as this Chen Tai'a is praised by others, he will immediately become forgetful.
"Eh?......"
The old man sitting next to Chen Tai'a with fish soup in his hand glanced around the temple with his eyes in his hand, and then said in confusion:
"Although I haven't been here to this Dragon King Temple much, I still remember that the last time I came, it was still dilapidated, why has it been renovated now?"
"I renovated it with my brother Xiao Che, and it took us more than half a month of work!"
Mrs. Chen said with a smug expression.
"Ah, two little brothers, the merit is really immeasurable, the merit is immeasurable!"
When the old man heard this, he was surprised at first, and then got up and saluted Mrs. Chen and Xiao Che.
"The old man can't help it, he can't help it. ”
Seeing this, Xiao Che was already sitting and moving, and Mrs. Chen got up and waved her hand with a panicked face.
"We're also staying here these days......
"Ahem......"
Seeing that Mrs. Chen's mouth was becoming more and more uncontrollable, Xiao Che quickly interrupted him by pretending to cough.
"I don't know what the little brother is called?"
The old man didn't continue to ask, but took a sip of fish soup to divert the topic.
"My name is Xiao Che, and he is my younger brother Xiao Chun. ”
Without waiting for Mrs. Chen to speak, Xiao Che hurriedly replied.
"Xiao ......"
Mrs. Chen looked at Xiao Che with a puzzled expression, and just wanted to ask him why he changed his name, but was glared back fiercely by Xiao Che's gaze.
Seeing this, the old man grinned, shook his head, and said:
"You doll has too many eyes, I don't like it. ”
