Chapter Twenty
Returning to Weichen Lane, Aunt He saw Xu Changsheng coming back with so many loaches. She immediately made a fuss and said that she would help Xu Changsheng take care of them and just come and pick them up in the afternoon. Xu Changsheng really couldn't refuse her enthusiasm.
Moreover, Xu Changsheng also tried to refuse, and found that Aunt He was really sad after the refusal.
I remember one time Aunt He bought a piece of pig head meat at the market and invited Xu Changsheng to eat it with her, but Xu Changsheng refused.
When it was time to eat, Xu Changsheng felt bad, so he went over again. When he walked to the door, he found that Aunt He was wiping tears while eating, and her eyes were red from crying. In the end, Aunt He spilled the pot of pig head meat in the dead of night.
Feeding wild dogs at the back door.
From then on, as long as Aunt He greeted her, Xu Changsheng would usually not refuse.
After returning home, Xu Changsheng thought about it and decided to send the silver he owed to Lu Shi now. Otherwise, Xu Changsheng would feel uncomfortable if he delayed it like this.
So he took out the remaining two taels of broken silver from the small wooden block on the corner of the table and placed it on his chest.
He never liked the feeling of owing others something, whether it was money or something else. Now that he had to bear the favor of so many people, it already made him uncomfortable. As for this kind of money, he would naturally pay it back if he could.
On the way, Xu Changsheng also spent two cents to buy a big cake for lunch. It wasn't delicious, but it was filling.
Lotus Lane is downstream of the town, because there is a large pond nearby, which is full of various lotus flowers. Every summer, the lotus pond is filled with flowers, and the fragrance is wafting. People in the town will rush over to see the lotus flowers.
When the lotus blooms the most and is most colorful, there is also a Lotus Festival.
Every Lotus Festival, many people come here to set up stalls, selling all kinds of things. Especially at night, people put on brand new clothes and come to play, holding various lanterns and looking at the lotus flowers at night, like
The lantern festival was so lively that many people crowded the nearby alleys, so the alleys were renamed Lotus Alley.
When they arrived at the private school, they found that it was closed and even the small room where Lu Shi lived was locked.
I asked people nearby and they all said that Lu Shi had left, but I didn't know exactly when.
Some said they woke up this morning and found Lu Shi gone, while others said he left yesterday afternoon.
This is normal, after all, no one is willing to pay much attention to him.
Even after Lu Shi left, the whole town was still running as usual, the Nanfeng River still flowed eastward, and everyone was in a hurry, busy with their own things.
I heard that when Lu Shi first came here, although he was down and out, he still looked like a scholar, and his speech was not as vulgar as the people in the small town, so he was quite popular among the women in the small town at that time.
During the Lotus Festival one year, a woman held a white lotus and expressed her admiration for Lu Shi in public. However, Lu Shi not only broke the white lotus in her hand on the spot, but also said a lot of unpleasant words, both inside and outside.
It is said that this woman has no shame, and she already looks like this, since she doesn't know it.
The woman hid her face and left before she finished listening. Within a few days, she had sex with Bai Ling at home.
At that time, this matter was still a big deal in the small town, but Lu Shi acted as if it had nothing to do with him. No matter how much the woman's family yelled and cursed outside the private school, he ignored it.
After a while, it was settled. After all, the town was not under the jurisdiction of Darui. The only Li Zhengdu in the town was still a member of the town. When encountering such a situation where it was difficult for both sides to be a good person, he naturally got along with it.
.
Unexpectedly, he, now an octogenarian, would leave the town instead.
Gu Lingqing, who also lived in Hehua Lane, heard Xu Changsheng's voice and immediately ran out to see. He was holding a small puppet in his hand, apparently playing with a toy.
Xu Changsheng also saw him, but he didn't want to talk to him and had nothing to say. Gu Lingqing, however, kept staring at Xu Changsheng's back, gritting his teeth and looking hard, and finally glanced at the wood in his hand.
Oops, I seemed to have thought of something, my eyes widened, and I ran home in a hurry.
…
The sun was a little bit harsh, so Tanxiao moved the stall under the old locust tree in the town. When he lay down, he finally dreamed of a fairy. He just saw a patch of white flowers and woke up before he could see them clearly.
Because the voices of passers-by were getting a little louder.
Talking and laughing, he was startled and looked to one side.
At the end of the road, a young woman wearing black tight-fitting Kung Fu training clothes walked up. She had an ordinary appearance, the type that would be drowned if she was thrown into the crowd, but she had a pair of amazingly long legs, which were not caused by ordinary people practicing Kung Fu.
His muscles were tangled and slender, making him appear taller under the emphasis of his training clothes.
But that's not her most eye-catching aspect.
What is even more attractive is the giant sword she is carrying.
The sword was very big, very big. It was wrapped in a bamboo scabbard and carried on the shoulder. The sword was higher than the head. If the huge sword was carried by someone like Wu Kui, everyone would think it was normal.
But now it was being carried by a young woman, which was very scary, so people on the street looked at this strange woman.
Including Tanxiao, since he found her, Tanxiao has been looking at her with squinted eyes. Whether he was looking at her sword or something else was unknown until she walked to the front of the Tanxiao stall.
Tanxiao walked around the stall and trotted to the woman with a smile on his face. He glanced at her face first, then couldn't help but look down, and without taking a break, he said:
"Come on, little girl, let me tell you your fortune. I will calculate your fortune, your chances, your fortune and your fortune. If you want to know for 500 years, I can do it for 500 years."
The woman remained expressionless, just looking at him quietly.
Suddenly Tanxiao felt his shoulders sink. The giant sword on the woman's shoulder had been placed on his shoulder, but the blade was pointed towards his neck.
Tanxiao looked up and saw that it was the woman's turn to smile, and she smiled brightly, and asked: "Then, Taoist Master, please tell me whether I can cut off your neck with my unsheathed sword."
Even though she was talking and laughing, she didn't get angry. She still smiled and slowly raised her left hand, put it on the scabbard, and pushed it out. The woman suddenly felt a huge force coming from her. She couldn't hold it down no matter how hard she pressed it. She could only watch the giant sword slipping away.
.
Tanxiao said softly: "Forget it, you can't cut me."
The woman was silent for a while and said, "I want to tell my fortune."
After hearing the fortune telling, the conversation and laughter immediately became more interesting, and he asked the woman to sit down in front of the stall.
The woman in black clothes sat down, finally put down the giant sword in her hand, and threw it to the ground, causing a large amount of dust to stir up, and the people watching nearby couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
The woman looked around with a cold face, and people avoided her.
Seeing that everyone around him had almost dispersed, Tanxiao straightened the Wuyue crown on his head, cleared his throat, looked at the woman and said, "I am a poor Taoist, Tanxiao."
The woman suddenly stood up from her chair.
Talking and laughing, he raised his hand and pressed it a few times, "Sit down, sit down, why are you, a girl, so startled like that old guy Miao Subaru?"
Miao He now believed in Tanxiao's identity even more, and even dared to call out his Taizu's name without any scruples.
It must be him, and even a Taoist priest with a little bit of Taoism would not dare to use this name.
Then he sat down respectfully, lowered his head and said, "Junior Miao He, I have offended you a lot just now. I hope senior will forgive you."
Tanxiao said with a smile: "Why, where did the domineering attitude just now go?"
Miao He was covered in cold sweat. If this senior tried to kill her, the family and even the entire sect would not dare to let out a single fart. They might even have to send a large amount of treasures to apologize. If he died, his death would really be in vain.
Fortunately, we didn't talk about this matter anymore. He said to himself: "I owed your family money back in Cangluo Continent.
Ancestor gave me a favor, and now I meet you by chance, so I just repay it. You don’t want to get involved in the matter of entering the secret realm of Taiwan this time. This time is different, you can’t come into contact with it. Moreover, it is not a good thing for you. I’ll say it all.
Now, let's go, let's go, don't disturb this Taoist priest from sleeping."
Miao He had no choice but to stand up and say goodbye, but he still looked puzzled. According to Tanxiao, he meant to tell her not to go to Shentai Secret Realm. It seemed like something big would happen this time.
It was just a matter of some importance and why not to enter. They were chatting and laughing but did not mention it. Miao He did not even dare to ask.
Tanxiao looked at Miao He's swinging legs. He became more and more fascinated as he watched. He murmured, "How come Miao Ang, a big guy like me, has such a nimble descendant? It's strange."
…
Having loach without tofu is like eating without chopsticks.
Use the processed loach, add a few pieces of white and tender tofu, simmer slowly until the soup becomes milky white, and when it comes out of the pot, sprinkle with a few chopped green onions, it will be a delicacy in the world. If you eat a few more small ones
Dried fish, "Gudong", Xu Changsheng swallowed hard, not daring to think about it.
I could only hurry up and prepare to go to Li Tui's house to buy two pieces of tofu.
When they arrived nearby, they saw that there seemed to be customers in the store. Xu Changsheng squinted and looked at them. Judging from their clothes, they must be immortal cultivators from outside. He couldn't help but sigh that there were too many people here in the past few days, as if they could meet them everywhere.
When he got closer, he saw a young man tugging on Li Ruan's sleeve. Li Ruan looked slightly cold, but couldn't refuse. As for Li Tui, he was being pestered by a dignified middle-aged man. The two of them were sitting in the shop.
Drink inside.
Suddenly I saw a young man in shabby clothes coming outside, and everyone became quiet.
Li Ruan looked at the person opposite and said in a cold voice: "Zhao Wei, let go!" After saying that, he didn't care, flicked his hand, turned around and ran towards Xu Changsheng.
Xu Changsheng suddenly felt a little warm in his body. Li Ruan smiled and bent down. Xu Changsheng only felt that there was a large expanse of white snow in front of him, and there was also a bottomless darkness.
Li Ruan stretched out his hand and grabbed Xu Changsheng's slightly messy hair, and said with a smile: "What are you doing here, little Changsheng? The tofu has been sent out today. Could it be that someone said that my tofu is not delicious? Can you let me have it?"
He told me."
Xu Changsheng has always felt that Li Tui's tofu is selling so well. Most of the reason is that Li Ruan is selling it. If it were Li Tui, a big guy like Li Tui, he could sell one piece a day. Every time Xu Changsheng said this,
Li Tui would raise Xu Changsheng's ears and ask him if he felt too tired from delivering tofu. If so, he could take a rest. Xu Changsheng immediately shook his head rapidly, while Li Ruan covered his mouth and laughed from behind.
.
Xu Changsheng said: "No, no, I want to buy two pieces of tofu to eat when cooking at night."
The more Xu Changsheng spoke, the softer his voice became, and he lowered his head as he spoke.
Li Ruan chuckled lightly, went to get two pieces of tofu, and wrapped them in paper. Xu Changsheng was just about to pay, when Li Ruan glared and pretended to be angry: "You are not allowed to take money. If you give me money, my sister will let me do it."
Dad won’t let you send tofu.”
Xu Changsheng had no choice but to take out the hand that was stretched out from his chest, with a look of helplessness on his face. Li Ruan smiled and said: "You are so good. This is food given to you by my sister. You can't waste it. You must finish it."
Xu Changsheng took the tofu, thanked him, and said goodbye quickly. Xu Changsheng felt that if he didn't leave, Zhao Ming's eyes would burst into flames. Did the middle-aged man sitting with Li Tui inside turn his eyes to him?
.
Xu Changsheng waved goodbye as he ran home, while Li Ruan looked at Xu Changsheng's retreating back with a smile on his face. He didn't turn around until he couldn't see him anymore, but his face had turned cold.
He said seriously to Zhao Wei: "He is my brother."
But when I thought about it, it seemed wrong, and he said
