Chapter 227: "Gu"

Gu lived in the old man's house for more than half a month.

In the past half a month, although the family has received a lot of silver taels, they have actually lived every day in fear, especially when they made a meal for him after killing the last chicken in the family three days ago, he looked displeased.

People in the countryside don't know what the Manchu and Han feasts are, and they have never seen the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and what they will do over and over again is these simplest foods - that is, to cut potatoes and chicken into pieces and stew them indiscriminately, and then it is not economical to slaughter a little pig and boil out a few bowls of soup......

This made Gu eat a little crooked, and he said to the old man's family a little impatiently: "Old man, you are not kind!

The old man has been called "old man" by an immortal every day for the past few days, and he is naturally very frightened, and he is about to kneel down again.

This made Gu more and more unhappy, he used his spiritual power to hold the old man up, and then said, "Looking for you...... I'm not going to watch you kneel all day long! It's a bit boring, if you can't do something good......."

Speaking of this, his face became gloomy, and he deliberately showed it to the old man's family. The family thought that if they couldn't do anything that satisfied him and provoked him to be angry, probably their family would die at his hands.

Seeing their panicked appearances, Gu held back laughter and laughed: "Hahahaha! I don't care what you do, look at you one by one!"

Like a child who had succeeded in his mischief, he smiled brighter and happier, but the old man's family was even more frightened, and stood in front of him and even breathed.

Although they have been together for more than a month, this "immortal" has hardly been angry or angry with them, but every time they see him eating like a beast, or teasing them like this, they all intuitively feel as if they have gone out of hell, and they even have a hunch that the reason why this "immortal" in front of them does not kill them is probably because they are still curious about them, and when the curiosity passes, he will immediately eat them to the bone!

For this reason, the old man also blames himself in front of the family every day, hating himself for bringing back a "demon".

Like today, the old man sighed alone under the mulberry forest in the village. At the beginning, when the people in the village saw it, most of them would come forward to ask the reason for caring about him, and he naturally didn't dare to tell the truth, only saying that he had a premonition that the destiny was coming, and some couldn't let go of his grandchildren.

"Old gentleman...... I see you've been sighing for more than ten days, what are you worried about?" The old man was walking in the forest with his head hanging down, and when he heard someone call him that, he was so frightened that his heart and liver rushed out.

In the past few days, what he was really afraid of hearing was the word "old man", and only after seeing that the person who came was a sloppy young man in a tattered yellow robe, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he said: "It's all the same old problem." I feel like I won't survive this winter, but I just can't let go of my son and grandchildren......."

Although he had never met the young man in front of him, it was impossible for him to tell the truth.

He added, "I haven't seen you before, young man...... Which family in the village are you a relative?".

The young man smiled and said, "Me...... It's just that my ancestors lived here, and now that I'm living down, I think about marrying a daughter-in-law here and spending the rest of my life!"

The old man didn't ask any more questions, seeing that the young man was now wearing tattered clothes, he really thought that his ancestors were from this village, and at the beginning of his ancestors' fortunes, his family moved to other places, and he had no choice but to come back when the young man's generation was down, after all, this was a common thing before.

Thinking of this, he didn't take care of himself, so he comforted the young man and said: "It's good to come back! Anyway, I've heard that all officials in the city are intrigued! I don't know why I don't know why I don't have any destiny! When I come back, I can do it in a down-to-earth manner, and if you are strong and strong, it will not be a problem to work hard to marry a daughter-in-law for a few years!"

"Pick up the old gentleman's good words!haha!" The young man's happy eyebrows looked at him when he heard this, and he was really happy.

When the old man heard the word "old gentleman" again, his face turned ugly again, and he wanted to say something to the young man in front of him...... But he couldn't show anything anymore, so he had to smile slightly bitterly and act as if nothing had happened.

All this fell into the eyes of the young man, but he did not say it.

"Old gentleman...... Actually, there is no need to be pessimistic! I have been in the village for a few days, and I see that your son and daughter-in-law are hard-working, and after you have been a hundred years, life will be prosperous! I can't guarantee that your grandchildren can go to study and get a name for themselves. But I can't say, if your grandson is favored by an immortal, then he will once attain the Tao, and the chicken dog will ascend to heaven! It is enough for your family to celebrate for several lifetimes!" said the young man, his eyebrows fluttering, comforting the old man.

When he first heard it, there was a little smile on his face, but after hearing it, especially after the "immortal", his face became ugly again, and in the end, he listened to it like chewing wax, and sighed again and again.

"Old gentleman...... I said, your grandson, are you unhappy? But this kid is naughty? I look at him very cleverly, but how come he has been as sad as you lately?" Young people are quick minds, and they are usually meticulous in their observations, and they will tell what they have seen and heard in the past few days.

After hearing this, the old man wanted to talk to him, but he had no choice but to open his mouth and only spit out a few mouthfuls of unpleasant turbidity in his chest.

Seeing that he didn't seem to like to talk about family affairs, the young man chatted and talked to him about other things, first

talked about some changes in the village, and talked about some things about the previous generations in the village.

In the old man's opinion, this is a clichΓ© that everyone in the village knows, but when he heard the tears of the young man in the yellow robe, he was about to cry, and he said, "My ancestor was a carpenter here......!" I'm so emotional!".

"Young man, what's the name of your ancestor?"

"Huang Yongping!"

The old man listened to the young man's name, flipped through the genealogy in his heart, and after a while, said to him, "O people of the eternal generation! This was all three or four hundred years ago......

"Young people...... What's your name?"

"Me, Huangshanke!"

When the old man heard what he said, he was a little shocked at first, but then he seemed to be relieved and said: "The mountain characters are all my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather...... However, if your ancestors have made a fortune, they should not be counted according to our set of names, and they will be called Huangshan Ke? What should be the meaning?"

Huang Shanke thought about it, his thoughts drifted back to more than a few hundred years ago, he said: "If you want to say that the meaning should still be there, I am very envious of those immortals flying away from the sky when I am a child, I love to run and play in the mountains and wilderness, and I am used to being called by the mountain guests and mountain guests!

At this, a few more tears welled up in his eyes. Strictly speaking, he has been away from his home for hundreds of years, although he knows that the one-third of an acre of land that originally belonged to his family has been allocated to someone else's family, and the forest in the back mountain has been cut down and built into a new house to live in, and he can't even recognize the green plum tree that he once folded in the village......

But he still wanted to come back! He thought very clearly, even though there were many misfortunes in the past, he also envied the normal life that Zheng Qian lived.

So he thought that the fallen leaves would return to their roots, and they could live one day at a time, but he never thought that if people were in the cultivation world, everywhere would be the cultivation world, because just more than ten days ago, he noticed that "Murong Cheng" came into the village with the old man.

Speaking of which...... Murong Chengcheng was the person he hated the most! Because of him, the second half of his cultivation career had been spent in exile and fear, because almost every day was spent in killing! Finally, he was back here now, and even if he planned to die, he would die here, which could be regarded as "the soul returning to his hometown", but he still had to be disturbed by Murong Cheng.

It was only after more than ten days of observation that he found that the "Murong Cheng" in front of him did not seem to be the Murong Cheng of the Xuanzhen Kingdom Lord he was familiar with! There seemed to be a big difference between the two......

Therefore, he deliberately approached the old man now to understand the habits of "Murong Cheng" and judge whether he was really Murong Cheng.

After talking with the old man for a while, he got acquainted with the old man and finally said "Murong Cheng".

Although the old man was still very evasive, at least he made up a lie to him about his distant nephew. Huangshanke didn't care when he heard it, and after saying a few more words, they went home.

In the next few days, every day after noon, the old man would come to him to chat a few words, and while chatting, he would talk about the problem of "eating", and then he would hear the old man say to him: "Young man, have you seen the great world outside, and have you seen any exquisite food? My nephew is very ...... Slaughter a few local chickens for him, and he won't be able to eat very comfortably!".

As soon as he said this, he frowned again, as if other issues were important, but they were not as important as what he said in front of him, and he didn't even say what he said about worrying that no one at home would take care of him in a hundred years!

This made Huangshanke also interested in listening, and after knocking on the side, he found out that "Murong Cheng" likes to eat some human delicacies.

He laughed a few times and said, "Old man...... Originally, my family ran a restaurant business in the city, and I also learned how to cook a few dishes from the master in charge of the restaurant.

Naturally, these words came out of his nonsense, but the old man was overjoyed when he heard them...... In the past few days, he has been accompanying Gu at home, and he is really frightened!

As for what Huangshanke said about being able to cook, it is true, after so many years of traveling in the world, in addition to being able to cook called flower chicken, he will indeed cook many other delicacies.

Just the day before yesterday, Gu was finally tired of eating their local chicken, and when his son saw the finished chicken in front of him, he didn't even look at it, but grabbed a live chicken and tore it alive in front of them, and then he said quietly: "Eating is like not putting seasoning, I think it's better to be alive!"

This scared the old man's family into a six gods and no owner, and they were trembling when they slept at night, for fear that Gu would chew their family alive in the middle of the night!

"Thank you so much!" the old man became more and more polite as he spoke, and even called Huang Shanke's name cordial.

Huang Shanke said again: "Old man...... You wait here for me a moment. ”。

He told the old man to wait for a while, and he hid in the mountain behind the village, grabbed a wild fowl, and then turned back here.

When he came back this time, he had an extra cloth bag in his hand, which was full of bottles and cans of spices, so in front of the old man, he made a flower chicken, and made one out in an hour.

The old man saw it...... Holding it in his arms as if he had found a treasure, right

He said, "I have thanked you, O mountain guest!"

"The old gentleman is not more concerned than to keep it in mind, I will still live here for a long time in the future, and many things will be bothered by your care at that time!" Huang Shanke smiled generously, saying that he didn't care, so he asked him to bring the flower chicken back.

When he went back that day, Gu was also eating the whole chicken with relish, and he asked more: "The chicken that the old gentleman brought back today is a little interesting......

The old man understood that he was asking about the origin of the chicken he ate, but he also kept an eye and would not confess to the Huangshan guest, he said: "This is what I recently met from a distant nephew taught me. ”。

He was left and right, and a lie was used in front of Huangshanke and him.

"Really?" Gu burst out with a gaze, and then said with a calm expression: "Then tell him to make more food!"

He didn't think much about it, but the food he had eaten at the old man's house in the past few days did make him a little tired, which made him, who was very curious, feel bored after a while.

In the next few days, in the mulberry forest of the village, Huangshanke set up a pot stove and made a few dishes on the spot, and asked the old man to take them back to Gu ...... The old man was grateful to him, so he gave the logarithm of the silver given by Gu to Huangshan Ke.

It wasn't until three months later that Huang Shanke and the old man were completely acquainted, and after making a dish of buckle meat, Huang Shanke said to the old man: "Old man, I think he should also be a dignitary, right?

After the old man thought about it, he agreed, one was of course, because he and Huangshan Ke were negligent, and the other was that Gu intentionally or unintentionally said in front of him that this dish was not made by their family, so he should have guessed something......

"Yes, yes, just ......"

"What is the old gentleman worried about?"

"My nephew's temper is a little weird, I hope you can understand it!"

"It's all right, old man. ”

The old man was grateful to Huangshanke, but he didn't dare to expose the identity of the Gu "immortal", and at the same time, he didn't want to involve Huangshanke, so he specially admonished him.

Seeing that Huang Shanke answered cautiously and humbly, the old man led him to see Gu.

In front of the thatched hut of the old man's house, Gu Zheng was lying comfortably on the bamboo chair basking in the sun, and saw the old man leading a young man in a yellow robe to walk in, especially feeling the familiar sequence aura on his body, a playful look appeared on his face, but then he returned to calm.

"Old gentleman...... You brought such a person here today, presumably the nephew you said was your very good cook, right?" Gu carefully glanced at Huang Shanke's appearance, but finally focused his gaze on the dish in his hand, as if all he cared about was the dish in his hand.

Hearing that the lies on both sides of his side were broken and exposed, Huang Shanke did not blame the old man, but said to Gu with a courteous face: "Look at the son, he is well-dressed, and he is also a talent, but I don't know which son in the nearby city?"

"This meat looks quite interesting, but I don't know how many hours it has been made, whether it is an hour, or two hours, or five ......."

"Daoyou don't have to make metaphors with me! I'm five! It's just that I feel it, you're not Murong Cheng! But you know the matter of the sequence, who are you?"

Before Gu finished speaking, Huang Shanke interrupted him first. The latter can survive the battles again and again, naturally his mind is also like a demon, and he can already feel it from the side in the past few days of talking with the old man, this person in front of him will definitely not be Murong Cheng! After a closer look, he feels that he is not Murong Cheng!

"You sequence...... It's really interesting! I'm really not Murong Cheng! My name is Gu! I guess I was born from him! Haha! Actually, I've been very bored these days, and a few days ago, I could have encountered three sequences that I could have killed...... Unfortunately, something happened. When he got to this point, Gu didn't hide it in the slightest, and looked at Huang Shanke and said with great interest.

These days, he wanted to go over and find other sequences, but for some reason, all their breaths seemed to be deliberately restrained by some force, and they couldn't feel it.

This is a very strange thing! Mo Wunian can't perceive it, it has his own special reasons, so why are the others? This is actually because of Mo Wunian, like the spirit stone carving that Zeng Xingxin gave her a hidden breath......

But when his eyes were pulled back to his eyes, he was still a little happy to see the Huangshan guest who was a sequence.

But the Huangshan guest, who was determined by him to be the prey, also looked at him with the same eyes as a prey at this moment and said: "Daoist friend is called Gu? Speaking of which, I really hate this word, and ...... Are you so sure you can eat me?".

His career and fate in the first half of his life can really be described by the word "Gu", but he doesn't like this kind of career and fate the most!

"Or else?" Gu said lightly, but while taking the button meat in Huangshanke's hand and eating it idlely.

Hearing the conversation between the two of them, the old man didn't think it was anything at first, but after they finished speaking, he just didn't understand what they said, and he should understand that they were all immortals. For a while, whether Gu called him "old gentleman" or Huangshanke called him "old gentleman", he was terrified......
