"Dad! Dad! Look, braised pork! Braised pork!!" Lu Xiucai, with a lion's head stuffed in his mouth, stared straight at the plate that was served.
As soon as this plate of greasy braised pork was served, six or seven pairs of chopsticks were thrust into it in an instant. When the chopsticks were withdrawn, not even a bit of the prunes underneath was left.
"Look at how you are eating like hungry ghosts! Eat slowly. Those who don't know better think that our Lu family is uneducated!"
"Dad, don't be so immoral. We never had such good food during the Chinese New Year. Look at the fat on your chopsticks. You don't eat less than us." The younger son's teasing was rewarded with a chopstick on his head.
Seeing his younger brother being beaten, Lu Juren swallowed the food in his mouth and started to help out, "Dad, just let everyone eat. In exchange for this meal, we suffered a lot last night."
As soon as these words came out, the joy of escaping from death appeared in the eyes of everyone who was devouring their food.
It was really scary last night. The master was fighting with the monster down there. Those of them who were singing on the stage were so scared that they peed their pants.
Then they all looked at the front of the house, looking at the sky, Li Huowang, who was deep in thought.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but have a hint of awe. If it hadn't been for this master last night, I might not have been able to have this meal today.
Although this little Taoist is young and has no hair on his mouth, he is really not an ordinary person.
But when another waiter brought the dishes, their attention immediately shifted again.
"Hey! There's chicken! Look! There's roasted chicken!" The pairs of chopsticks were about to move above the round table like snake letters.
Just as he was about to cut the chicken into pieces with chopsticks, an old cigarette stick wrapped in pulp blocked the chicken's head. "Stop! This chicken is not allowed to move! Wait until I invite the little Taoist to come over and eat together."
"
"Dad, stop shouting. Taoist priests don't eat meat. You are making Taoist monks break their precepts."
"Fuck you! Those who don't eat meat are monks! I'm leaving this behind. If I come back and see that this chicken is missing a little skin, see how I deal with you!"
After Lu Zhuangyuan glared at his most restless little son, he wiped his oily mouth with his hand, wiped it hard under the table, turned around and walked towards Li Huowang.
"Little Dao Master, hehehe, little Dao Master?" Lu Zhuangyuan, who was huddled together with wrinkles on his face, was extremely friendly.
"Master Taoist, we've been busy all night, let's have something to eat together? Look, the dishes served by the Hu family are all hard dishes full of oil and water."
Li Huowang, who was deep in thought, turned around and looked at him. After thinking for a while, he asked hesitantly: "Master Lu, did you see that those tablets fell together by yourself? That scene shouldn't be my hallucination, right?"
"
"Oh, my little Taoist, I didn't know this. I don't have the ability like you to dare to look around. The old man behind me always sang on the stage with his eyes closed."
Li Huowang sighed softly. He once again recalled the words in his ear. Although it was very soft, it was absolutely unmistakable. That was the voice of his master Danyangzi. He was the only one in the two worlds who would call him baby.
Logically speaking, he should be very nervous now when he heard his master's voice again, but Li Huowang fell into confusion because he couldn't even trust himself.
"I'm mentally ill, and I'm very ill. If I say it's because I didn't eat black Tai Sui, my condition relapsed, and I have some small auditory hallucinations in my ears, it's completely normal."
"But those tablets that suddenly fell down, and the God of Joy that suddenly appeared and disappeared... all of this cannot be explained. Is it possible..."
Li Huowang thought of the strange changes in Danyangzi's body before his death, and his expression became ugly. "Is it possible that he really... became an immortal?!"
"No! Danyangzi can't become an immortal. His so-called immortality skills and the inner elixir he took were obviously made up by me. I just made up random things. How could it possibly help people become immortals? Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to become an immortal at all.
They are not immortals!"
But if he is not an immortal, then what has he become now? Why is he pestering me? There was a hint of ferocious irritation on Li Huowang's face.
"Little Taoist Master? What are you thinking about? We are all on our own now. If you have any problem, please speak up."
Lu Zhuangyuan's words brought Li Huowang back to his senses. He took a deep breath and made up his mind, "Regardless of whether it is true or not, there are not many countermeasures I can do now. First, go to the so-called Xijing City and find the monk Lu Zhuangyuan mentioned."
Let’s take a look. If it’s true, they might know something. I still know too little about everything in this world.”
"Master Lu, there's nothing wrong. I just remembered some trivial matters. Let's go to the table and eat."
Hearing what Li Huowang said, Lu Zhuangyuan nodded happily, and the two of them turned around and walked towards the dining table in the room.
When he came to the table, the expression on Lu Zhuangyuan's face suddenly froze. He saw that except for the roast chicken, all the other dishes on the table had been licked clean. There was no need to wash the dishes if they were clean.
"Ah~ It's so satisfying to eat! I guess that's all the emperor enjoys." Lu Xiucai, who was full of oil, leaned back on the stool lazily and unbuttoned his belt.
Lu Zhuangyuan smiled awkwardly at Li Huowang. It was difficult to get angry in front of outsiders, so he could only hold the roast chicken in front of Li Huowang with both hands. "Little Daoist, this chicken is quite fat. I really can't help it. It's ugly."
"
Li Huowang smiled, picked up his chopsticks, pulled off a piece of chicken and stuffed it into his mouth. "It's okay, the chicken is delicious too."
After just a few bites, a group of people walked through the corridor and walked into the house. The person walking at the front was Lu Zhuangyuan's employer, Hu Jianghe.
"Not bad, not bad. My ancestors were very satisfied after hearing this. The incense candles on the table were all eaten clean. This is a good thing!"
Hearing the other party praising himself, Lu Zhuangyuan smiled and said humbly: "It should be, it should be, this is the old man's duty."
"Master Lu, if you pass by here again in the future, you must come to our Hu's house for a drink of tea." Hu Jianghe said politely.
As he spoke, a strong man next to Hu Qinghe came forward with a tray covered with red cloth. As soon as the red cloth was lifted, ten silver ingots were neatly placed there.
"You keep the ten taels of silver you agreed upon."
"Oh, thank you for the reward, Mr. Hu! Don't worry, Mr. Hu, as long as there is still work in the future, as long as someone can take the lead, our Lu family class will come over as soon as possible no matter where they are."
After Mr. Hu left, the Lu family gathered around the tray and looked at the ingots on the plate with salivating eyes.
Just when Lu Xiucai was about to reach out and touch the biggest money he had ever seen in his life, he was knocked off by an old cigarette stick.
Lu Zhuangyuan first took out four gold ingots from the tray and stuffed them into his pocket. He looked at the remaining six with strong reluctance in his eyes.
But in the end, he smiled again and came to Li Huowang who was eating with the money.
"Hehehe, come on, little Taoist master, we agreed, you six and I four, this is your share."
