Chapter 160: How many ordinary men in the world have true feelings?
"Eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables. If you don't eat them, I will finish them all." The crazy old man waved his hand in front of his disciple, "What's there to see?"
The old man followed Chen Yuan's gaze and glanced sideways. He saw a man and a woman sitting at a table apart. The man was eating vegetables while talking. He also fed the mixed liquid food into the woman's mouth with a wooden spoon and took it thoughtfully.
The handkerchief wiped the corners of her mouth.
As if he noticed Chen Yuan's gaze, the man smiled kindly and continued to eat.
"Did we meet those people raising corpses again?"
When Chen Yuan saw this strange scene, he remembered that when he went to the town near Linjiang County, he also encountered the coffins and coffins being transported for mortuary corpses. Since entering Jindan, the power of incense has been successful, and he can tell at a glance that this woman is not a zombie.
.
"Maybe there is some strange disease."
Probably thinking about it, he turned back and continued to eat with the master. Then he cleaned up and went to the room that had been opened. Going upstairs together, there was a couple who also stayed here. Seeing the man struggling to carry his wife on his back, the woman
The person still felt nothing and stared blankly ahead, like a wooden figure, carrying him into the room.
After experiencing so much, Chen Yuan was no longer as reckless as before. He temporarily forgot about the matter of the couple next door, called the store clerk to boil a bucket of hot water, coaxed the master to take off the tattered clothes, and served the old man to wash them.
With two large buckets of water, the tired waiter complained incessantly. Fortunately, Chen Yuan tipped more than ten yuan, and then his grimace turned into a smile, he moved the buckets and left.
"Master, are you feeling comfortable?" Chen Yuan shook his hands, and the water stains faded away on their own.
The crazy old man smelled his armpit and said, "It's no longer smelly...no, no, no..."
"Ahem..."
At this time, a familiar voice sounded in the room. The wooden sculpture of Li Bai was lying on the table, leaning on the side of his head, shaking the wine gourd hanging on his fingertips and asking Chen Yuan to drink for him.
"Brother Taibai, when did you come in?"
Li Bai raised his eyes and pointed to the slightly opened door: "Leave it open. There is good wine here, fill the gourd... ugh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh."
"Can you smell this?" Chen Yuan smiled and took the wine gourd from his hand, turning it into a normal size in his hand, "I'll give you a few taels. Master, you rest first, I'll go downstairs."
On the bed, the crazy old man turned over, holding the quilt under his arms, and waved his hand sleepily.
Squeak!
The door opened, and when Chen Yuan came out, he saw the store clerk walking out of the next door cursing and looking a little bad. When he met Chen Yuan, he still managed to squeeze out a smile and asked him what he needed.
"Four ounces of your best wine."
"Is it Guanhululi? That's all right. The guest officer will sit downstairs for a while. The young one will go right away."
The wine vats were arranged in a row behind the counter. The waiter lifted the earthen cover wrapped in a cloth towel, hooked it with a bamboo tube, scooped out a tube and slowly poured it into the gourd.
Chen Yuan looked at his back, a little curious about the expression just now. After all, in the job of a waiter, no matter how unruly the customer is, he still has to smile.
As soon as I asked, the waiter didn't look back and sighed while drinking.
"It's not a minor complaint. It's just that the couple was too tormented. I asked the younger one to come in after a while. They went back and forth seven or eight times just now."
"Oh? What are you going in for?"
"My lord, please don't blame me for talking behind the scenes." The waiter poured the wine, weighed it, stuffed the gourd, took the money, and continued: "That man is too thin to move his wife. When you get into bed, you need help moving; after you take a shower and put on your clothes, you also need help from the younger one. The woman is also weird because she is very heavy. The younger one is accustomed to doing heavy work. Counting the man, it takes only one woman to move. But people are struggling."
"So that's the case. Maybe that woman's body is too heavy."
Some people look thin, but are really heavy. This is also a common thing. Chen Yuan did not blame everything on ghosts and monsters. What's more, the man in the couple spoke well and was easy-going. It was not like he was hiding trouble.
After taking back the gourd, Chen Yuan didn't talk any more. He returned to the room and gave the wine to Li Bai. The little wooden figure smelled the wine and said again: "Ouch!"
He jumped off the round table with a bang, opened the door and walked out.
"Brother Taibai, pay attention to your steps. After watching the night, remember to get back in the car after reciting poems."
Li Bai didn't even look back. He waved with Chen Yuan behind his back and walked up the stairs in a cool manner. Then... his feet fell into the air and he fell down. What he heard was a series of bang bang sounds.
"I told you to be careful."
Chen Yuan shook his head and closed the door. The master lay sprawled on the bed and slept soundly. A strand of hair fell on his mouth, rising and falling with the sound of snoring.
"It's better to be the master you are now..." Recalling the last time his master was sober, Chen Yuan liked this kind of master. If he could get his memory back in the future, to be honest, Chen Yuan was not ready to get along with him.
This is the best thing for now.
He moved the light to the table, stretched out his hand and spread it out on his left sleeve. A white snake as thick as a finger appeared coiled in the palm of his hand. The flesh and blood of his right eye had dried up and bulged outward, looking quite scary.
"True Lord..."
White Snake moved slightly, and a faint voice came into Chen Yuan's consciousness, "I'm fine... I just need a few more days of rest... You don't need Zhenjun to travel so far, don't ask for help..."
"No matter what, I will give you an eye. This is the principle. You can rest assured to recover from your injuries first..."
During the conversation, there was a bang! on the bed against the wall. At first, I thought it was Master turning over and knocking his head on the wall. The next moment, another dull banging sound came clearly from the next door. Within a moment, A few more sounds.
The crazy old man on the bed showed signs of being awakened.
Chen Yuan frowned. He put the white snake back into his sleeve. He opened the door and walked to the next door and knocked. After a moment, there were hurried footsteps inside. The thin man opened the door and saw through the crack of the door. Chen Yuan asked what was going on.
"What do you mean you keep hitting the wall in your room?"
"I...I accidentally bumped into him."
The man's eyes flickered, he said a casual perfunctory, and was about to close the door, but found that the door leaf could not be pushed open, and he couldn't help but show panic in his eyes.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Did you accidentally hit it seven times in succession?" Chen Yuan squinted her eyes, looked away from the man, and looked inside. The man subconsciously Chen Yuan's vision was blocked.
Seeing that the man had a strange look on his face, as if he was guilty of being a thief, Chen Yuan suddenly thought that it might be the Yaman who had given the woman some kind of medicine to make her unable to move her limbs and speak, and then trafficked her away to another place.
"So the impact was caused by your wife?" Chen Yuan raised her hand and pushed it. The door pushed the man back a few steps. He entered the room and looked around. He saw the woman sitting at the table with a red mark on her forehead.
.He turned his head and looked at the man: "What do you say?"
"This husband is really not what you think." The man didn't know how to defend himself. He sighed and squatted on the ground. The store clerk and shopkeeper who heard the commotion also rushed over and entered the room.
The woman's forehead was blood red, and there were red marks on the wall. She had seen people from all walks of life, and she had guessed something bad.
"Okay, if you dare to kidnap a woman... let's go, follow me to see the official!"
As he said that, the shopkeeper and the waiter reached out to catch the man. Unexpectedly, the woman who was sitting there suddenly raised her hand and squeezed the waiter's hand, as if to prevent them from taking the man away.
The man squatting on the ground saw his wife stretching out her hand, and burst into tears with a cry. He went up and hugged the woman. The look of a man crying is not pretty, unless he is sad.
"Huilian...my wife..." The thin man hugged the woman's legs and cried. Chen Yuan, the shopkeeper, and the store clerk didn't know what happened to him.
After a while, the man gradually stopped crying and rubbed his wife's hand, his voice choked with sobs.
"Actually... my wife has been dead for several years... The news just now was caused by my wife not wanting to be a drag and hitting the wall..."
When he said these words, the shopkeeper and the waiter's expressions changed with fright. The waiter quickly rubbed the woman's wrist against his body. The two quietly retreated out, not daring to stay in the room anymore.
Chen Yuan looked at the crying man silently and whispered: "He has been dead for several years...how can he not be corrupted?"
"My husband is definitely not a human being, and I dare not hide it." The man wiped the corners of his eyes, held his wife's hand, and sniffed: "I met a teacher... I live in Xinzhou, and I came from China a few years ago.
When I came back from doing business outside, I encountered heavy rain on the road. I took shelter under a rock. I saw a gentleman coming from a distance, so I gave him my shelter from the rain. After the rain stopped, the gentleman suddenly called me down and gave me three pills.
It is said that if there is a funeral in the family in the future, you can take one pill and it may change something."
"Then it becomes like this?" Chen Yuan frowned.
The man shook his head.
"In fact, I didn't believe these things at first... I just put the elixir in my bag and ignored it. Two months later, my wife fell ill and died. I was heartbroken. I didn't remember the elixir until I laid her body for three days, so I gave it to Huilian.
After taking it, as the gentleman said, the stiff body gradually softened, there was warmth again, and the blood also appeared on the face... Maybe it took too long and I couldn't fully recover... It's all my fault!"
The man cried again and slapped himself hard,
Chen Yuan's tense expression gradually relaxed. He sat on the other side of the woman and put his hand on her wrist. As expected, there was no pulse and no weak breathing. It was just a corpse that looked like a living body.
The lack of corpse energy is probably due to the elixir.
"Xinzhou faces the sea to the east, and is more than a thousand miles away from Hejin... Why did you take her here?"
"My wife followed me from two shabby houses to riches through hard work." The man sniffed, "...she runs the house and waits for me to come back from outside every day. She has never gone outside to see the outside. She also said that she will grow old in the future.
, I went for a walk nearby, but... now she is no longer here... I also want to fulfill my promise, sell off my family property, and take her along the way to see scenery she has never seen before... I heard that there are many things in Tianshi Mansion.
Sir, I want to go there and try my luck."
The man choked as he spoke, and Chen Yuan on the side silently put down the woman's hand. The other party had three souls and seven souls, and was missing two souls and six souls. He could not help at all.
Immediately, he got up and left the room and went downstairs. Under the eyes of the shopkeeper and the waiter, he walked to the backyard and found a few logs from the woodshed. According to the memory in his mind, the logs were pinched by the magic power, and the sawdust fell to the ground. After a while,
The space is turned into usable wooden strips and planks, and the outline of the wheelchair can be quickly assembled under control.
…
In the inn room, the man wiped away his tears and was about to close the door when he saw the husband who had just left come back again, carrying something like a chair in his hand.
"It won't help you much, but this wheelchair will save you a lot of trouble. You don't have to carry your wife up and down."
Looking at the chair with a pair of large wooden wheels and a pair of small wooden wheels placed in front of him, the man's eyes were wet and red, and he thanked Chen Yuan repeatedly.
"No, if you love your wife so much, I believe there will be a miracle. You can go to the Tianshi Mansion, or go to Lingyun Temple in Cangyu Mountain."
"My benefactor, wait!"
Seeing Chen Yuan turn around and leave, the man hurriedly called Chen Yuan to stop, got up and went back to the house, rummaged around for a while, and held two apricot-yellow elixirs the size of little fingers.
"Take this elixir."
"No, it's just a wheelchair."
"Isn't it just a favor? I came here all the way and no one helped me. I only had my benefactor to ask questions and give me advice. I am grateful." The man knelt down on the ground with a bang.
"My benefactor, please accept it."
Seeing his sincere expression, as if Chen Yuan would not get up unless he took it, he had no choice but to take one from the man's hand.
"Then... I only take one, and there is one left. You can keep it for yourself as an emergency."
With that said, he picked up the man and pushed him back into the room. Chen Yuan then went back to sleep. Looking at the elixir twisted on his fingertips, there was a faint fragrance mixed with...a smell of fox?
Teacher?
Fox flavor...could it be the middle-aged scholar from a few years ago?
"I didn't expect to hear him here..." Chen Yuan murmured, and the master next to him turned over, slapped him down, and called him: "Stop talking, go to sleep!"
Chen Yuan smiled, put away the elixir, raised his hand and flicked it, and the oil lamp on the table went out.
The cool moonlight gradually fell to the west as the night darkened.
The early sun shone into the house through the cracks in the window lattice. The man got up early, took his wife to the wheelchair, pushed her around the house twice, and felt even more grateful.
I hurriedly knocked on the door next door to express my thanks again, but what I saw was the guy who was cleaning the room.
"Excuse me, little brother, where was the husband yesterday?"
The waiter looked at him with disgust and replied impatiently: "I'm leaving now."
The man hurriedly went down the stairs and rushed to the streets of the town. Unfortunately, he didn't see anyone leaving, so he could only walk in one direction on the street and express his gratitude.
…
The sun breaks through the clouds and shines on the lush mountain forests.
Chen Yuan, who was grateful, was driving an ox cart on the ups and downs of the mountainous road. He didn't encounter anything along the way, so he took a shortcut and arrived at the foot of Taiwu Mountain.
Looking at the mountains from a distance, you can see majestic and majestic buildings standing tall while the clouds appear and disappear.
