Chapter 70 Dr. Zhenzhai
After another five or six days, the number of people visiting Li Chuan's house suddenly increased, asking for advice, visiting relatives, giving gifts, inquiring about news, congratulations, and many more. People make the house lively and lively.
It is estimated that the news of his becoming an official has spread.
The head of Zhang Yuan's hometown even hosted a banquet for him, and the county magistrate often sent news.
Li Chuan ate, drank, and listened to people's praises every day, and he lived a very happy life. Except for one time, a student in the same library praised him for his knowledge and insisted that he write poems, which made him really unbearable. , relying on abdominal pain like strangulation to get through it.
And his deeds of being a scholar in charge of residences have been rumored to be legendary. He slept in the house he once visited and wrote an excellent article in his dream, which was appreciated; and he lived in The house you live in can give birth to a boy.
As for why he was specially awarded an official, there are many explanations.
Some say it’s because he saved many lives in this evil disaster, so a god entrusted a dream to the Queen; others say it’s because one of the people he saved had an extraordinary status. In order to thank Li Chuan, he made him an official; he also said that Li Chuan had an extraordinary origin, and that he was the reincarnation of Emperor Xingjun and so on.
When Li Chuan listened to Si Gou relaying these things to him, he dug his toes into the ground, feeling very ashamed.
It’s just that... Li Chuan looked at his house, the sun was pouring down along the eaves, and his original wish of honoring his ancestors could be considered fulfilled.
He breathed a sigh of relief, took out a bowl of meat bones from the pot, and called to the four dogs: "Come on, come on, you have worked hard these days, eat meat, eat meat."
The four dogs rushed forward.
Seeing that they were eating happily, Li Chuan also took one and squatted on the edge of the steps to chew on it.
The dark circles suddenly turned to look at Li Chuan sideways, "Xiucai, you really saved the princess, are you going to be recruited as a consort?"
Then the other three dogs also turned their heads.
Where does this nonsense come from!
Li Chuan threw the half-eaten bones forward: "Hurry up and eat yours."
......
It is another sunny day.
After getting up, Li Chuan took out the Mingxian Pendant under his pillow. Yes, there are no evil spirits within a hundred miles, so today is a good day.
When I pushed the door open and went out, my nose was irritated by the cold air and I sneezed.
Rubbing my nose, I saw fine snowflakes floating in the sunshine. It turned out to be snow.
With a creak, the courtyard door opened, and Tong Luo, whom he hadn't seen for several days, walked in. He was holding a bow and arrow in his hand and a quiver on his back.
Li Chuan looked at the bow and arrow in his hand and thought he had never seen it before, so he asked: "Your new bow and arrow are ready."
Tong Luo replied: "It was ready the day before yesterday. Yes, I heard the news and went to get it. It was very handy.”
He took an arrow and showed it to Li Chuan, "There are scriptures engraved on the arrow. It can cause great harm to monsters. The weather is too cold now. Not to mention monsters in the forest, not even a mouse can be seen. There is no way to test it." Power."
Then he also congratulated Li Chuan and asked him when he would go to the capital.
It’s time to go to the capital again.
Li Chuan looked at the sieves, grain bags and sharpening stones piled in the corner of the yard, and then at the cracked ground under his feet. He had been planning to find some gravel to pave a corridor to avoid rainy days. It’s not easy to walk, and the grape trellis in the backyard hasn’t been erected yet.
He said: "I happen to have something to ask you for."
"What's the matter?" Tong Luo asked.
"Master Wukong, have you returned to Chongfu Temple now?" Tong Luo replied: "You have gone back. Last time I went to look for him and he was copying scriptures. Do you want to look for him?"
Li Chuan took out the Mingxian Pendant, "This is a magic weapon I got a few days ago. It can detect monsters, but the range is not accurate. I want to take advantage of the cold weather. , the monsters huddled up for the winter, so we simply explored Yunqiao Township and several surrounding villages. When we found something, we took advantage of it and cleared it out. If we couldn't find it, it means it's safe here. You see How?"
Tong Luo was very happy and said, "I will go to Chongfu Temple immediately and bring Master Wukong here."
With that said, he walked out of the yard.
After a while, I heard some quarrels coming from outside. When I listened carefully, the sound disappeared again.
Li Chuan stuck his head out to take a look and saw Tong Luo still standing not far away. In front of him stood a woman with her head lowered and clutching her skirt. It turned out to be Zhuo Erniang.
The two of them stood face to face silently for a while, then Tong Luo opened his legs and strode away, quickly disappearing around the corner. Just when Li Chuan was about to retract his head, Zhuo Erniang raised his head and happened to see Li Chuan.
It’s too late to pretend you didn’t see it.
Zhuo Erniang walked over to him, blessed her body and said, "My benefactor."
Li Chuan asked Zuo, "Are you used to living here?"
Zhuo Erniang replied : "I'm used to it," she said after a pause, "Brother Tong gave me all the money and asked me not to work outside. I didn't agree, so we quarreled a few times, which made my benefactor laugh. "
"Why don't you agree?" Li Chuan asked.
Zhuo Erniang replied: "He wants to kill the demon and take revenge. I also have the same hatred in my heart. I only hate that I am a weak woman who cannot hold a sword or a gun and cannot use magic."
"Mr. Liu treats me very well. She works at her house, eats with her family, and covers me with a newly made quilt. Po Liu told me that she will start calculating my wages next year. I have hands and feet. , I can support myself, I don’t need him to care about me, let alone support me.”
Li Chuan had a headache after hearing this.
He has hated others preaching to him since he was a child, so naturally he cannot say anything preaching.
As for emotional issues, he is even less good at it.
He once thought that he was loved by everyone. When he was hanging out on the street, there would always be energetic girls who came to him. They didn’t have twenty yuan in their pockets and wanted to treat him to spicy hotpot. , watching him finish and drink the soup.
But when he came back from the army, the spirited girl cut off his eyelids and had his ribs and nose augmented. Pretending not to know him.
After that, I went on a blind date arranged by my family. It was obviously just a normal meal. The reason for the rejection I heard from the introducer was that he was too weird. He had already ordered a special dish and wanted to get another discount.
Li Chuan shook his head and shook off the memories that came up. He still had to take care of the affairs of these two people.
They are all real people.
He said to Zhuo Erniang: "He wants to give money, just keep it."
Zhuo Erniang is the person Tong Luo admired when he was young, and she is also his only relative now. There is nothing wrong with letting him raise her and giving him more care and responsibility besides hatred.
"My dear, why do you say that?" Zhuo Erniang was surprised.
She is fatter than when she first came to Yunqiao Township. Her hands and face are clean and she looks refreshed.
Li Chuan said: "You take his money and save it for him. When you save enough, buy a house and land and take root in Yunqiao Township. It is better than him spending all the money outside. It’s better to eat, drink and gamble.”
