Chapter 386 Envy
Hearing what Li Chuan said, Wu Kong said nothing more. After just saying a few more words, Wu Kong found that Li Chuan suddenly became silent. Looking carefully, he actually fell asleep.
Wukong had no choice but to move Li Chuan back into the house and find a quilt to cover him.
When Li Chuan woke up the next day, he stared blankly at the beams of the room for a long time. It wasn't until he got out of bed and walked out of the door that he remembered why he was here.
A lot of dust accumulated in the house. Li Chuan rubbed his nose and walked to the courtyard. He found water in the water tank. He scooped some water with a ladle, took a few sips, and then found a broom. With a rag, I roughly cleaned the house. After doing this, he felt a little sweaty and hungry.
When he was about to go out to find something to eat, Wu Kong walked into the house from the front carrying a basket. When he saw Li Chuan, he said, "Are you awake?" Then he threw a cake wrapped in oil paper to Li Chuan. : "I bought it on the way, thinking it was time for you to wake up."
"Well, I just woke up." Li Chuan caught the oil paper bag, took a bite of the sesame seed cake, and said, "It's the store at the intersection. "
"Yes, the one you often go to," Wu Kong said, putting the basket aside and saying, "I dug some wild vegetables and sent them to Brother Tong later. "
"Okay." Li Chuan finished the sesame cakes in two bites, clapped his hands and said, "Let's go. I don't know if Brother Tong is still home. He always leaves early and comes back late."
"It must be there." Wu Kong was very sure.
"What's wrong?" Li Chuan asked.
"You'll know when you go there." Wu Kong gave it up.
Looking at his expression, Li Chuan thought it wasn't a bad thing, so he didn't continue to ask. The two picked out the wild vegetables and grapes, divided them into two portions, and then walked to Tong Luo's residence.
The door to where Tong Luo lived was open. Li Chuan looked inside and saw no one. After Wu Kong knocked on the door a few times, he shouted: "Brother Tong, come out quickly and see who is coming."
Soon, Li Chuan heard a burst of footsteps, and then saw A strong man came out. When Tong Luo saw Li Chuan, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and said, "Benefactor? Are you back? When did you come back?" Before Li Chuan could answer, he turned around and shouted, "Er Niang, hurry up Come out, the benefactor is back.”
Then he ran back into the house. After a while, he supported Zhuo Erniang and walked out again.
Seeing Zhuo Erniang's appearance, Li Chuan finally understood why he had no time to reply and said that Tong Luo had been at home recently.
Zhuo Erniang is much fatter than the last time we saw her, holding her belly with both hands.
When Zhuo Erniang was about to salute him, he quickly said: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." He looked around hurriedly and said, "Quickly find a chair. Hey, you go back to the house to rest quickly. Don't Come out.”
“It’s okay.” Zhuo Erniang said with a smile, “The doctor told me that it’s better to walk more every day.”
"Oh, that's it. Then..."
"Come into the room and talk." Tong Luo said.
"Okay, help my sister-in-law first." Li Chuan said.
The three of them sat down in the room, and after Zhuo Erniang returned to the inner room, Li Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Tong Luo and said, his eyes full of admiration, "Brother, you are awesome!"< br>
He was very envious and said: "If I had come back a few months later, you would have been a father."
Tong Luo smiled, a little shy, and said, "I didn't expect it either. I originally wanted to wait until Er Niang gave birth and write a letter to the capital, asking you to name the baby. If I can make it in time, I can come back and have a full moon drink."
So Li Chuan asked: "How long will it take to give birth?"
Tong Luo said: "It is estimated that there will be two months."
Li Chuan counted the days. , said: "I may be in the Four Gods Palace at that time, or I may have set off to other places. Then I will ask Daoist Wen if I can come back." Tong Luo was very happy after hearing this and said: "I'll wait. You come back.”
Li Chuan said: "Don't wait. As for the name, I will look through the book later and think of a few good ones. You can pick one then."
So Tong Luo became even more happy. After knowing that they were going to Blacksmith Cen, they said they wanted to go together.
Li Chuan was a little worried that Zhuo Erniang was alone at home. Tong Luo explained: "It's okay. I go out to do work during the day, but I go out later. No matter whether I can catch the prey or not, I will definitely do it before sunset. Just come back. And the neighbors are all familiar. They often come to Erniang to do needlework together, and Mrs. Liu and Miss Pan also come to help."
"That's good. ." Li Chuan said.
Afterwards, Tong Luo greeted Zhuo Erniang, went to get a dried deer leg, and then set off with Li Chuan Wukong.
They rode over in a carriage, and soon arrived at Blacksmith Cen's blacksmith shop. When Blacksmith Cen saw Li Chuan, he was also very surprised and said, "Why are you back at this time?"
He tasted a grape and said, "This grape has only been planted for a year. It must not taste good." Yes, the fruits usually won’t bear fruit in the first year. Even if they do, they will be small and sour. If you come back next year and try them, they might be sweeter.”
Li Chuan said stubbornly: “It’s sweet. It’s not sweet, but I think it’s quite delicious. It’s better than what I had in the capital.” Your grapes are all carefully selected, how could they not be as delicious as this one? "This is different from mine," Li Chuan said.
Blacksmith Cen didn't argue with him anymore. He picked up the dried deer legs that Tong Luo brought, lit a fire, washed the pot, and stewed the deer legs.
Li Chuan Tong Luo Wu Kong found a place to sit down by himself. After chatting for a few words, Wu Kong went to the cabinet to find a few bowls. He found hot water by familiar means and made tea and brought it over.
After Li Chuan took a sip of tea, he asked Wu Kong: "Did you see Jiang Bai again later?"
"Brother Jiang? I haven't seen him. What happened to him?" Wu Kong Sora asked.
“He disappeared.” Li Chuan said, “His twin brother, Jiang Song, could always feel him before, but suddenly he couldn’t feel him a while ago. Using Taoist reasoning, the result is indeed that in this world There is no such person as Jiang Song.”
"How is this possible?" Tong Luo said.
Li Chuan said: "That's it. Now that Jiang Song has returned to Qingzong to ask for help, Qin Tianjian is also using secular power to find his traces..."
"Brother Jiang What's wrong?" Blacksmith Cen came over.
So Li Chuan said it again.
Tiejiang Cen said: "After he left that time, I really didn't see him again, but..."
"What?" Li Chuan asked.
"Your sister-in-law Zhu, when she came back last time, she said that there was a wealthy businessman who paid a lot of money to recruit talented people and strangers to go to Yuanjiao Forest to kill a python demon and avenge his son. Those who went there There seems to be Brother Jiang inside."
"When did it happen?" Li Chuan asked immediately.
Tiejiang Cen thought for a while and said, "About four or five months ago."
