Chapter 116: Shadow (27) Reunion
......
Today's weather is very good, when Su Changqing got up from the bed, he saw the big banyan tree, which had been as tall for decades, still staying in the yard vigorously, he was lying on the bed, and it seemed that he could still hear the immature chirping of birds above.
Recently, several birds have built nests on it, and every day, he can see many birds fluttering like butterflies among the intertwined leaves. So in his eyes, the big banyan tree seemed to be starting to come back to life.
Su Changqing lifted the quilt, put on thick cotton shoes, and after preparing the things needed to go to work in the teahouse today, he walked to the courtyard with a scarf.
At this time, it was morning, the weather was still a little cool, Su Changqing looked up at the leafy banyan tree, rubbed its rough bark with his hands, and saw that in the middle of the branch, there were a few sparrows standing on it, chirping and singing songs towards the rising sun, which sounded exceptionally beautiful.
After Su Changqing finished washing, he carried a rocking chair and listened under the tree for a while, and when they left here with their wings flapping and no more singing, they sat up from the chair, sighed quietly, and came directly to the kitchen.
In recent days, because there are often two monks in his house to help clean, they are very energetic, sometimes even the kitchen and utility room do not let go, so when he comes to the kitchen, there is no trace of stains at all, and the whole place is so clean that it can be reflected.
After having breakfast with the two monks, Su Changqing asked Yuanguang to send him to the teahouse.
At this time, there was not a single guest in the teahouse, only a few people working in the teahouse were sitting or standing, doing their own things, Su Changqing greeted everyone, then hugged his erhu, casually found a place by the window to sit down, and then, alone, drank the tea provided for free here.
There are a lot of tea leaves in this teahouse, but the price of each is very expensive, Su Changqing is not particular about drinking tea, so he will not deliberately spend money to buy these expensive and outrageous teas.
In this town, there are few people who like to drink tea, but in addition to Boss Bai's good skills in making tea, he is also very good at making food, so there are still many people who like to eat here, so it is said that it is a teahouse, but to be precise, it can also be said to be a restaurant.
Su Changqing also likes the food here, but the food here is a little expensive, except for the occasional tooth sacrifice here, most of the rest of the time, he still likes to eat alone at home.
Because the teahouse had not yet opened for business at the moment, Su Changqing put the erhu at the foot of the table, seized this rare spare time, and began to endorse.
Recently, although he has been worrying about the shadow ghost, Su Changqing never pauses the time of endorsement every day.
And every day he takes some time to start meditating.
He had been meditating on the subject for months now, and although it seemed that there was no use for it except that his spirit was better, he still insisted on it.
After all, he knew that if he wanted to strengthen the pineal gland in his brain, it was not something that could be done by meditating casually for a month or two, it might take a long time, maybe a year, or many years.
Su Changqing took a sip of tea and was leisurely looking at the book, when he suddenly saw a huge shadow on his page, and the area of this shadow was very large, and it seemed that he was about to completely wrap himself.
Someone next to him?
Su Changqing was curious, and turned his head, but when he saw the person next to him, he was quickly startled.
I saw that he was originally sitting next to no one, and I don't know when there was a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe, and because he seemed to be wearing a lot of thick clothes in his Taoist robe, the whole person looked very bloated.
This is...... That Taoist priest from last night?
Although he didn't see clearly what the Taoist priest looked like last night, the figure of the Taoist priest was firmly remembered in his mind.
Su Changqing was shocked when he saw his appearance, but in the next moment, he turned his head again pretending to be very natural and didn't look at the Taoist priest again.
And after he turned his head, the Taoist priest next to him didn't react at all, he didn't seem to see him looking at him, or didn't care that the other party was looking at him, just drank tea, and looked at Boss Bai's position from time to time, as if he was in a daze all the time.
Su Changqing quietly observed him with his peripheral vision, and before he could see anything, he suddenly saw that the Taoist priest turned his face full of redness and showed a chilling smile towards him.
The Taoist priest's teeth were full of yellow tartar, his eyes were misty, and his smile was very strange.
This......
Su Changqing was taken aback by this sudden smile, and he felt a little incredulous in his heart.
...... Is this really a Taoist priest?
When Su Changqing saw that he was discovered, although he was shocked, he did not panic, he just smiled kindly at the smiling Taoist priest casually, then turned his head and continued to stare at the book in his hand.
Su Changqing looked at the content on the pages of his book, and unconsciously, he was immersed in the sea of books.
Time passed little by little, and he was reading a book and was engrossed, when suddenly he sniffled, as if he smelled a pungent smell in the air.
This is...... Wine?
He blinked, looking back in the direction that smelled of alcohol.
He saw that the Taoist priest from before had taken out a bottle of beer from his baggage, and was now slowly pouring the beer into the teacup.
Seeing this Taoist priest who was drinking, although Su Changqing was stunned, he was even more sure that today's Taoist priest was the Taoist priest he saw yesterday.
As if sensing Su Changqing's gaze, the Taoist priest smiled at him again, then raised the cup with beer in his hand, nodded slightly at him, and asked, "Uncle, what's the matter...... Would you like a drink?"
Su Changqing smiled without changing his face, "No need...... I've been drinking for a long time. ”
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and looked at the book in his hand, as if he was looking at it carefully.
The Taoist priest shrugged his shoulders when he didn't look like he wanted to join, "Okay, but I can't do without wine." ”
He grinned and licked the contents of his glass, then pulled a few more bottles of beer from his baggage.
"That's a good thing......"
He drank greedily, his mouth touching the wall of the cup, and he made a sneering sound.
Su Changqing glanced at him and didn't speak.
