Chapter 24: Zhang Cheng
Day 2.
In the ward, Zhang Tingwei, Wen Hui, Zhang Tianci, and Zhang Xiaomiao were standing, Tie Niu was sitting in a wheelchair, surrounding Zhang Cheng's bedside, and of course, there was a crow Xiaohei lying on Zhang Xiaomiao's shoulder.
Today is the day when Zhang Cheng wakes up, everyone came here early, waiting quietly, hoping to see Zhang Cheng wake up for the first time.
Quietly, Zhang Cheng's eyelashes fluttered slightly, his eyes and face slowly opened, his eyes purred and looked at the room, slightly puzzled, and suddenly, two familiar and unfamiliar smiling faces froze in his sight.
"Madam, City Lord, are you here?" Zhang Cheng exclaimed, "Did I really come to the Netherworld?"
"Big brother!" Iron Bull exclaimed in surprise.
"Tie Niu, didn't I tell you to leave?" Zhang Cheng heard the prestige, saw Tie Niu in a wheelchair, and said reproachfully, and then sighed, "Alas~ That's okay, we can reunite with the city lord and his wife in the Netherworld." ”
"Big brother, what are you talking about? What a mess! You're still alive!" said Iron Bull with a smile.
"Still alive? Impossible! If I live, I will be able to see the city lord and his wife? Tie Niu, you are here to deceive my brother again. Zhang Cheng never believed it, and said critically.
"Chengzi, Tie Niu really didn't lie to you, you are indeed alive, Lao Zhang and I are still alive!" Wen Hui said with tears of joy.
Chengzi, still so familiar with such a gentle voice, am I really still alive? He quietly twisted his thigh hard, "Ah" a cry of pain, and muttered to himself: "There is pain! It's not a netherworld! It's not a dream! I'm really alive!haha~~ I'm still alive!"
With a snort, Zhang Xiaomiao couldn't help but chuckle when she saw Zhang Cheng's funny appearance.
"Hmm, who are these two little babies?" Zhang Cheng heard the laughter, and only then did he notice Zhang Xiaomiao next to Wen Hui and Zhang Tianci next to Zhang Tingwei.
"You kid, don't call Uncle Zhang Cheng soon. Wen Hui scolded with a smile and lightly knocked on Zhang Xiaomiao's head.
"Uncle Zhang Cheng is good!" Zhang Xiaomiao exclaimed with a smile.
"Uncle, is this? Could this be the child of the city lord and his wife? My nephew and niece?" Zhang Cheng was stunned by this title.
"Big brother, that's right, they are the children of the city lord and his wife!" Tie Niu said happily.
Zhang Xiaomiao smiled cutely at Zhang Cheng and said, "Hehe~ Uncle Zhang Cheng, I didn't mean to laugh at you just now, you can't blame me, my name is Zhang Xiaomiao, you can call me Xiaomiao, this is my brother, called Zhang Tianci." When Zhang Tianci was introduced, he smiled and nodded at Zhang Cheng.
"Quack~quack~"
Seeing that he hadn't introduced it, the crow was suddenly unhappy.
"Giggle~ Yes, yes, and this little guy, called Xiao Hei, is a fat crow who can't eat anything. Zhang Xiaomiao deliberately teased Xiao Heidao.
"Quack~quack~" Xiao Hei shouted twice in protest.
Everyone laughed, and the pleasant atmosphere couldn't help but spread in the room.
"By the way, remember that I didn't blow up the meridians, so I can still live, and besides, I can still see the city lord and his wife?" Zhang Cheng asked suspiciously.
"Big brother, after you blew up the meridians, I didn't go far............ Finally, heaven will heal you. "Iron Bull told me the ins and outs of the future.
"Thank you so much. Zhang Cheng said gratefully.
"Uncle Zhang Cheng, you are just seeing the outside, what do you say from your family, thank you or not!" Zhang Tianci said.
"Yes, yes, your own family! You are my good nephew!" Zhang Cheng said with a smile.
"Well, okay, now that the city has recovered from a serious illness and still needs to rest, let's not bother. After Zhang Tingwei finished speaking, he turned back to Zhang Xiaomiao and ordered: "Miao'er, wait a minute, you go and cook some porridge for the city." ”
Zhang Xiaomiao nodded in agreement, everyone withdrew from the ward, the room was quiet, leaving only Zhang Chengcheng alone, he did feel the weakness of his body, but his heart was extremely quiet, he seemed to still feel the care that permeated the room, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but look at himself as if he was slightly curled up as if he was self-deprecating, thinking that he should be grateful to the immortal cultivator who let him blow up his meridians? If it weren't for him, how could there be a warm reunion now.
Zhangjiatun at night, hazy, dotted with lights, night insects chirping, quiet and vivid.
The candle flame flickered, reflecting the shadows of the people in the hall of Uncle Zhang's house.
I saw everyone sitting around for dinner, at this time, Zhang Cheng was at the table, he had recovered some physical strength a little, and as soon as he could walk slowly, he insisted on starting to walk by himself, thanks to Zhang Tianci adding blood-tonifying herbs to his porridge.
Now, he can sit at the table and share a warm dinner with everyone, and after dinner, everyone comes to the courtyard to chat after dinner.
"City Lord, Madam, I really didn't expect me to see you again, and besides, I am really happy to see that your children are now in pairs. Zhang Cheng said sincerely.
"Yes, in a blink of an eye, twenty years have passed, and we thought that we might never see you again for the rest of our lives, but now that we are reunited, we can learn that you are still alive, which is also much more gratifying for our husband and wife. Zhang Tingwei said with emotion.
"Madam, haven't you returned to Lingxiu City to take a look in the past twenty years?" asked Zhang Cheng.
"I haven't gone back, it's been more than 20 years, it's time to go back and see, I remember that my eldest brother has a daughter, and now she should be an adult." Wen Hui said with a sigh of relief.
"Yes, the year before last, I secretly went back with Tie Niu once, and I saw the daughter of King Wenren, that is, she was eighteen years old, and she was extremely talented and gentle, but it was a pity~" Zhang Cheng paused with a sigh.
"What's the pity? Uncle Zhang Cheng, say it quickly! What's wrong with that sister?" Zhang Xiaomiao asked curiously.
Zhang Cheng glanced at Zhang Tianci, Zhang Tianci didn't know what to do, he smiled: "Hehe~ It's a pity that your cousin just made a marriage contract with the young master of Luoyang City the year before last, and said that the marriage would be completed in three years, just this year." ”
"Drink~ Well, it's a pity to miss this fate. Wen Hui didn't really feel too much pity, I was fortunate to have it, and I lost my life, but she just sighed a little.
"My cousin is getting married, it's a good thing, what are you sorry for?" Zhang Xiaomiao didn't understand this time.
"Haha~ Xiao Miao, your mother wants your brother to marry your cousin, you say it's a pity!" Tie Niu laughed.
"Ah, so that's the case!" Zhang Xiaomiao suddenly realized, his eyes glanced at Zhang Tianci, only to see that he was a little shy, with an embarrassed and embarrassed look, and couldn't help laughing, causing a burst of laughter from others.
After a burst of laughter, Zhang Tianci took out the half of the blood lotus seed from his arms, handed it to Zhang Cheng, and said, "Uncle Zhang Cheng, you take this, wait until your body returns to normal, take it, I think you will be able to resume cultivation soon." ”
"God, you~ What are you doing, how can you give me such a precious thing, or keep it for your own use, I will be satisfied if I can live." Zhang Cheng refused.
"Uncle Zhang Cheng, this thing is useless to me, you can just accept it, it's good that you can recover your cultivation as soon as possible. Zhang Tianci said.
"How can this thing not be for you? You can't fool your uncle, but I know you haven't opened the Second Bridge of Heaven and Earth yet!" Zhang Cheng revealed.
"Chengzi, you can take it, this is also a piece of Ci'er's heart. Zhang Tingwei said.
"This~~" Zhang Cheng was very hesitant, he really didn't want to accept this taste of heaven and earth, but even the city lord who had always respected him spoke, and he couldn't refute the city lord's face.
"Chengzi, the God-given situation is a bit special, you really don't need this, don't shirk it. Zhang Tingwei continued to persuade him, he was very clear about Zhang Tianci's situation, it seemed that there was some secret hidden in the Divine Court, so that he had not broken through the second bridge of heaven and earth for ten years, but he did not dislike his son, but had been silently guiding him and supporting him, he knew that Zhang Tianci's talent was absolutely unmatched, but his opportunity had not yet arrived, and when the opportunity came, it would be when Zhang Tianci soared into the sky.
"Since that's the case, then~ then I'll accept it, and if I don't accept it, I'm afraid that God won't call me uncle in the future, haha~~" Zhang Cheng didn't know the inside story, but, whether it was true or not, the city lord had already spoken and preached, that is, he really regarded himself as an outsider, so he accepted it.
