[036] Old Man Xia

The village director is not a fuel-efficient lamp. When he saw chicken, he would have a big meal when he wanted to eat it. He burped his body and left the Xia family in disappointment.

Old Man Xia doesn't like to talk, and keeps lowering his eyebrows and eyes, looking cold.

Old Man Xia was used to smoking a hookah after a meal, but he didn't say anything to anyone after the meal. Even the village director left without saying hello, and squatted at the door and smoked the hookah "gulu-gulu".

Zhong Kui was very curious about hookahs, and Old Man Xia was smoking and he was watching him staring at him.

Liu Wengen sent Zhong Hansheng away and turned to see Zhong Kui staring at the hookah. He was so funny, but he didn't laugh, and shouted: "Zhong Kui, let's go out for a walk."

Old Man Xia’s home is quite spacious for living alone. The huge courtyard is not planted except for a doghouse made of silk thatch in the corner. It seems a bit empty. The main hall is facing the courtyard gate, and the two wing rooms are separated from each other.

After having a meal and resting for a while, Old Man Xia made some arrangements. He slept alone in the north room and the south room for Zhong Kui and Liu Wengen.

The two men squeezed into a room to sleep. It felt uncomfortable to think about it. Fortunately, they both built a bedding separately. Liu Wengen reluctantly agreed. Zhong Kui was ignorant and didn't care about anything. He said everything was fine, as long as he had food and space to live.

Liu Wengen didn't know what the Minister of Armed Forces was thinking, so why did he settle them in Old Man Xia's house. What a bachelor who doesn't like to say anything, isn't this going to be deserted?

Liu Wengen was wandering around and was still trembling when he saw the doghouse. He was afraid that the dog would be troublesome after running out and biting it. But unexpectedly, there was no dog in the doghouse. He looked up and thought, "The dog must be looking for a lover!" Besides, this season is the time for dogs to estrus.

Liu Wengen's eyes moved away from the doghouse and fell on Zhong Kui, and he had thoughts in his heart. This kid was stunned and didn't know what happened in the hometown of Menling Village. This time the two of them came back from the city and acted alone. In addition to Chen Zhiqing knowing the main purpose of the action, even the Minister of Armed Forces Zhong Hansheng thought that Liu Wengen just wanted to help Zhong Kui, who was found in the tomb, find the lost memories.

Liu Wengen invited Zhong Kui out for a walk, just to show off his professional authority. Zhong Kui, who is the turtle, is almost the same age as me, but he has accomplished nothing. I will be able to ascend to the captain in two years.

After coming out, Liu Wengen pointed at Zhong Kui in an official accent and said, "This is the folk customs, it will be beneficial to you when you see more."

Zhong Kui stood there, feeling that the person in front of him was a little bit of a big deal. He was not as good as Captain Chen at all. He always gave him a feeling of awkwardness when speaking.

Liu Wengen felt that Captain Chen was a waste of talent. Arranged himself to be a illiterate person who could not read a lot of words, which was simply lowering his IQ and value. Speechless, he felt that there was no place to go for the moment, so it would be better to go to the other side of the river to take a look.

The two of them walked a few steps and looked up and saw a large green patch of rapeseed and leeks planted on the river. Liu Wengen raised his wrist and saw that it was still early, so he stepped onto the lead and climbed the cable bridge.

This cable bridge is not as simple as imagined. When Liu Wengen stepped on it, it kept shaking. He was so scared that he grabbed the cable bridge chain tightly, and it became a little more stable.

Every time he took the cable bridge, he was so scared that Liu Wengen did not dare to easily grab the chain's hand. However, Zhong Kui, the turtle lamb in his mouth, ran to the other side in three or two steps like a monkey.

"Hi! Don't run around." Liu Wengen looked at the rushing water rolling in the gaps in the wooden boards under his feet, and shouted at Zhong Kui in a hurry.

Zhong Kui ignored Liu Wengen's shout. He was as gentle as a dragon returning to the sea, and he freely browsed the long-lost pastoral scenery. The golden rapeseed flowers and the green trees were all welcomed to his return. Although the direction he was going was completely different from the direction he was going, he was really excited when he stepped on the soil of his hometown. This was the first time he stepped on the ground and wandered in the embrace of nature after he was reborn in the tomb.

When Liu Wengen gasped and finally came from the other side of the shore where Zhong Kui arrived, his heart was still beating wildly. To be honest, he was afraid of water and was seasick on the boat, which was even harder than a woman who was pregnant.

Zhong Kui, who took the lead, sat in a daze under a protruding stone. In the position where his vision was locked, there were rows of square tombstones. This should be the concentration of the cemetery in Donghua Village. Liu Wengen was afraid to see these places where the dead were buried.

Zhong Kui seemed to be very interested in these tombstones. When Liu Wengen arrived beside him, he stood up from the spot. He looked at the tombstones one by one, and his eyes were very serious, as if he was looking at the patients arranged there, waiting for examination.

Looking at Zhong Kui's actions, Liu Wengen felt a chill on his back. He said in his heart: This turtle is worthy of being from the tomb. Seeing the tomb is like seeing his own home. But there is a wry smile that is even worse than crying, and shouts to Zhong Kui: "Zhong Kui, let's go back!"

Zhong Kui heard the shouts coming from behind him, but he was too lazy to pay attention to them. He was thinking about the font on the tombstone and carefully looked at the dead man lying in the tomb.

As dusk approached, Liu Wengen looked at the tombstone in the twilight, and the chill in his heart became stronger. Zhong Kui's figure in the distance became blurry in the twilight, like a ghost wandering between the tombstones, walking towards him step by step.

Liu Wengen cursed the turtle swearing, but he still didn't dare to show off his advice and left without permission. He had to continue to wear down his patience and wait until the turtle swear came.

It’s not that Liu Wengen insisted on waiting for Zhong Kui to go back together, but that deadly rope bridge made him dare not leave alone. He waited for him so helplessly, and went back together after looking at the tombs one by one.

Just like when he came, Zhong Kui took a vigorous step and completed the cable bridge that was more difficult to walk than climbing to the sky in just a few strokes.

The shaking cable bridge! Please don’t shake. Liu Wengen moved step by step tremblingly, and his heart was beating wildly disobediently.

Zhong Kui, who walked across the rope bridge, looked sideways and coldly at Liu Wengen, who was trembling all over on the rope bridge, remembering what his father once told him. People who dare not walk on the rope bridge are cowards, and they are timid in everything they do.

Seeing Liu Wengen's face changed color when he was frightened, Zhong Kui had to stop moving forward and use his hand to hold the shaking cable bridge chains, and the cable bridge became slightly more stable.

Liu Wengen did not express his gratitude to Zhong Kui for his help. He believed that this turtle boy deliberately made him foolishly.

When the two returned to Old Man Xia’s house, the house was quiet.

The door of the south house is open, only the door of the north house is closed, and no light seeps out of the window. It seems that Old Man Xia has rested.

After Zhong Kui and Liu Wengen entered the house, the dark and dark inside the house did not light the lights.
