On the Avenue

Chapter 137 Xiaowu comes to visit, filial piety

"Would you like to put a stamp on Sang Yu's butt?"

Under the sacred tree, Chen Shi suddenly had a thought in his mind, "Sangyu is the godmother of Huangpo Village. The villagers in Huangpo Village respect her as their godmother. Whether I grant it or not, she has a natural fiefdom." ”

he mused.

For a spirit like Sangyu who is a natural fiefdom, the common people will naturally respect her and gather around her to form a village or town without his intervention. If he relies on Xiwang Yuxi'er to intervene forcefully, it will destroy the natural balance between the villagers and his godmother.

"With the jade seal, you can't do whatever you want. You need to do something and not do something. If you have power and act randomly, you have to interfere in everything, and you will do bad things."

He has some understanding of the responsibilities of the person holding the jade seal.

Although the old lady Wuzhu was on crutches, she walked quickly. She returned to Huangpo Village soon and came to Chen Shi's house. She saw Chen Shi sitting under a tree and practicing. She smiled and said, "Scholar, are you still sitting? Your father is back. "

Chen Shi was almost carried away by her words. He was a little flustered. He stood up quickly and asked, "Chen Tang is back? Where is he?"

"Just now I was visiting your grandfather's grave, and I slapped him a few times with a cane."

When the old lady Wuzhu said this, she turned around and caught a glimpse of a tall young man wearing a scholar's Taoist robe walking towards her. She smiled and said, "Speak of Chen Tang, Chen Tang is here. Isn't this coming? You and your father and son are slowly chatting." , I still have to go home for dinner.”

Creation Xiao Wu passed by her, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became: "Damn it, the little old woman whipped me with a stick several times, I have to kill her. But she is a piece of meat, not tasty."

Just when he thought of this, the old lady Wuzhu slapped his buttocks with a cane and yelled: "Be nice to your son, he is in trouble the most!"

Creation Xiao Wu was beaten again, and became angry and confused: "My son? Yes, he is Chen Tang's son. Wu Zhu's old eyes were dim and he thought I was my brother Chen Tang. It doesn't matter, my father is dead, so Kill your brother’s son to take revenge! Then kill Chen Tang!”

He stepped forward, glanced at Li Tianqing aside, then looked away and landed on Chen Shi.

Although Chen Shi is not very old, his appearance is gradually growing, and he is somewhat similar to Chen Yindu.

Creator Xiaowu looked at Chen Shi and saw the shadow of Chen Yindu in him, and thought to himself: "Is he Chen Shi? He is much taller than before."

He has met Chen Shi.

Chen Yindu would return to Huangpo Village during the New Year and festivals, and Creation Xiaowu would sometimes come with him. One year, they saw Chen Tang holding a big fat boy to show them, and he happily said that this was his son.

At that time, Xiaowu, the creator, had changed his mind and stopped eating ordinary people and started eating monks. However, he still found Chen Shi very delicious. He wanted to pick it up with chopsticks like eating steamed buns and put it into his mouth with his head raised.

Dad Chen Yin was very happy, with tears in his eyes. He picked up the baby and raised it high, pricking the baby's face with the stubble on his face. It made him cry, and he acted ugly and made fun of the doll.

"His name is Xiao Shi, just Xiao Shi!"

Chen Yindu was very bossy and said to Chen Tang, "One, five, ten, just right!"

Chen Tang was very angry and smashed the plates and bowls while eating: "Dad, I am your biological son, and you only have Xiao Wu in your eyes! What one, five and ten? You can't call him Xiao Ten! I'll choose my son's name!"

Although Xiaowu, the creator, pretended to comfort his younger brother, he was secretly very happy. After all, his father loved him more than his younger brother Chen Tang. Although he had made many mistakes at that time, the words "one, five, ten" showed that he was more important than Chen Tang in his father's heart.

For this reason, he once had to change his mind and try his best to be a good son in the eyes of his father, although he still couldn't control himself and started eating too much.

"Later, Chen Tang and Dad each took a step back and gave him a name, Chen Shi. His nickname is Xiao Shi. It's the same as my nickname, Xiao Wu."

Chen Shi was also looking at the creature Xiao Wu, and he didn't know what emotions were surging in his heart.

Angry? Maybe.

After all, Chen Tang had never gone home to see himself or his grandfather, and he didn't even come to his grandfather's funeral in person.

disappointment? There should be.

Chen Tang is his father, but he has never fulfilled his father's responsibilities. Chen Shi could not feel any father's love for his children from the eyes of "Chen Tang" in front of him. He could only see that he was observing him, like a leopard observing its prey.

Chen Shi's emotions should also be mixed with expectations for family affection, right?

Chen Shi longed for family affection. After his grandfather left, the scapegoat made him think that he was not the only one in the family. But every time he lay in bed at night and the blame no longer affected him, he realized that he was alone.

Chen Shi calmed down the strange emotions in his heart, looked at Zaixian Xiaowu, and wondered in his heart: "Chen Tang is so young?"

The "Chen Tang" in front of me looks only about 20 years old, and does not look like a person in his 40s or 50s.

If Chen Shi includes the eight years since his death, he would have just turned twenty.

Li Tianqing stood aside, looked at Chen Shi, and then at Creation Xiaowu, and thought to himself: "They look very much like father and son. Is he Chen Tang? He is so young."

However, there are often monks who practice the method of eternal youth, so it is not surprising that they look younger.

Chen Shi said calmly: "Chen Tang, are you here? Are you here to burn paper for grandpa? Let's go after dinner, right?"

His voice was neither salty nor bland.

His father, who had abandoned him for many years, suddenly returned. According to the villagers, it was usually because he was not doing well outside, or he had a lot of gambling debts, and he came back to ask for money. There was a similar situation in Huangpo Village. The son of the old lady Wuzhu did not come home all year round. One year, the old lady Wuzhu came home. The old lady Wuzhu was very happy and cried several times with excitement. She thought her son had changed his mind, but later she found out that he was owed money outside. made a lot of money.

Later, her son stole the money for her coffin and fled the village.

The old lady Wuzhu cried several times because of this. She didn't know whether she felt sorry for the money or her son.

Chen Shi didn't know how to deal with the situation at hand, so he was eager to drive Chen Tang away.

"OK."

Creation Xiao Wu walked towards home and said, "Let's have a light meal first."

He thought to himself: "Let's have a meal first, and then send Xiao Shi on his way! Dad, I can't burn Wuzhu, but I burn your grandson to you, which is considered as my filial piety."

Chen Shi walked into the courtyard. Hei Guo had already packed up the tables and chairs, and the food, bowls and chopsticks were all arranged neatly.

"Heiguo, Chen Tang is here, please add a pair of bowls and chopsticks." Chen Shi said.

Heiguo quickly went to get the chopsticks and filled another bowl of rice.

Creation Xiaowu frowned and looked at the busy black pot. This dog made him realize that there was something evil in the house.

Hei Guo put down the bowl and raised his head to meet his gaze, feeling startled.

This "Chen Tang" was not affected by it at all!

You know, even Granny Sha, Hu Xiaoliang and others will be affected by it in their thinking. Is "Chen Tang" stronger than Granny Sha and others?

"Sit down." Chen Shi passed between them and said.

Creator Xiao Wu withdrew his gaze and sat down at the table.

Chen Shi sat opposite him.

Li Tianqing sat on the left, and Heiguo took off his apron and sat on the right.

Xiao Wu, the creator, raised his chopsticks. When he saw Hei Guo also raising his chopsticks, he glanced over again and said with a gloomy face: "Go down, dog! Who allowed you to serve?"

Heiguo was shocked again, knowing that he had encountered a ruthless character that he could not interfere with, and was about to go down in despair. Suddenly, Chen Shi slammed the table and shouted: "I allowed it to be on the table! Heiguo, don't let it go down!"

Creation Xiaowu met Chen Shi's gaze, and the two of them stared at each other across the food.

Li Tianqing quickly put down his chopsticks and did not dare to move.

After a while, the creator Xiao Wu chuckled lightly and said: "You have a stubborn temper like me. No wonder you are called Xiao Ten. Gouzi, your little master allows you to serve, so just stay. Don't try to influence me, you can't ”

He said silently in his heart: "After finishing this reunion dinner, I will send them on their way and let them go to the underworld to reunite with their father!"

Black Guo suddenly felt the pressure and was trembling with fear. Li Tianqing on the other side also felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

"Chen Shi, Chen Tang and his son seem a little uneasy." He thought to himself.

Chen Shi took two mouthfuls of rice silently, looked at the dishes on the plate without looking at "Chen Tang", and said, "When grandpa passed away, why didn't you come?"

His voice was angry and his tone was questioning.

Creation Xiaowu thought of Chen Yindu, and felt a sense of sadness in his heart, and said sadly: "I am being imprisoned and can't get out."

Chen Shi was stunned, raised his eyes to look at him, then looked back and said, "Have you committed a crime?"

"Yeah." Creation Xiaowu noticed his concern and thought about it, he had indeed committed a crime.

"Caught?" Chen Shi asked.

Creator Xiao Wu thought about it again and said, "Yeah."

Chen Shi's eyes were red and he said, "So you can't come back to see me and grandpa during the Chinese New Year?"

Creation Xiao Wu sighed, nodded slightly, and said: "I have been imprisoned for many years and I can't get out."

The ice in Chen Shi's heart melted a little. He picked up a piece of fried duck egg and put it in his bowl, saying, "You eat the vegetables."

Creation Xiao Wu looked at the food in his bowl with an unkind look, and snorted coldly: "You are picking up food for me? Why are you picking up food for me? Who asked you to pick up food for me?"

Chen Shi's brows were raised, and he was a little angry. He slapped his chopsticks on the table: "Good intentions are treated as a donkey's liver and lungs! Do you want to eat it or not?"

Xiaowu, the creator, looked at the food in the bowl and remembered how he had just been "born" and was ignorant of everything, and Chen Yin was picking food for him. He felt inexplicably irritable in his heart, and there was always a strange and strange emotion eroding his heart, making him feel uncomfortable. He was uneasy.

"I eat."

He picked up the vegetables that Chen Shi had brought for him and tasted them. The taste was average and he could swallow it.

"It's just not as delicious as Tian Ting Zhe."

He thought to himself, "If I had known that this dog could cook, I would have caught Tian Tingzhe, cut off his ears, and let the dog cook a table of food."

The three people and one dog at the table ate in silence. Hei Guo and Li Tianqing quickly finished their meals and left the table, hiding far away.

"Will they fight?" Li Tianqing asked the scapegoat quietly.

Black Pot shook his head, it didn't know either.

But this Chen Tang is so powerful that not even his spells can invade his consciousness at all!

"Is Chen Tang really that powerful?" it thought to itself.

It was picked up from the underworld by grandpa Chen Yindu. He was only three years old and had never seen Chen Tang.

Xiaowu, the creator, was determined to finish the meal, so he sent Chen Shi to see Chen Yindu in order to fulfill his filial piety and fulfill his reputation as a filial son, so he also ate quickly.

He had just finished a bowl of rice, licked his lips, and showed a fierce look in his eyes. He was thinking about how to kill Chen Shi to fulfill his filial piety. Chen Shi, who was opposite him, put down his bowl and chopsticks, picked up his bowl, and turned around to add some rice to him.

"You have another bowl." Chen Shi placed the full rice bowl in front of him and whispered.

Creator Xiao Wu met his gaze and couldn't help but be stunned.

This look was like the look he had when he was trying to please his father, Chen Yindu. It was also full of expectations, hoping to get his father's love.

Creation Xiao Wu felt sad for a while, silently picked up the chopsticks and continued eating.

I also look at my father with this look.

Chen Shi is just a child who longs for his father's love, just like me back then.

Let him live a little longer.

He suddenly stopped using his chopsticks, thought for a moment, picked up a piece of meat, put it in Chen Shi's bowl, and said, "You eat this."

"Yeah." Chen Shi responded.

Creation Xiaowu looked at the way he was eating, as if he saw himself back then.

The two of them had dinner, and everything on the table was completely eaten. Chen Shi went to clear away the dishes.

The creator, Xiao Wu, hesitated for a moment, but did not immediately kill him. Instead, he looked at the courtyard and asked, "Xiao Shi, have you been living here since your grandfather left? Have you never thought about moving out?"

Chen Shi washed the dishes and said, "This is home, why do you want to move out?"

"Is it home?"

Creation Xiaowu was silent for a long time.

"When have I ever been so indecisive?"

He said silently in his heart, "I am not a human being, I am a creature, a god and demon created by my father. I don't need human emotions, I am my father in a perfect state!"

Chen Yindu always carries an innocence and is full of curiosity about various phenomena in the world. He always has strong energy to explore various secrets, discover the truth behind it, and create more and more wonderful spells. But Chen Yindu rarely cares about the people around him.

Until Chen Shi was born, he suddenly had many emotions that he had not had before and began to go home often.

But Creation Xiaowu is different.

Chen Yindu realized a long time ago that as a human being, he was always troubled by various emotions and was unable to achieve the perfect state of perfect harmony between heaven and man. Therefore, when his talisman skills reached their peak, and he could even create demigods and demons like the talisman god Tianji, he decided to create a perfect version of himself.

He tried it five times and succeeded on the fifth time, creating a creature called Xiaowu, which he named Chen Wu.

As his assistant, Creator Xiaowu assisted him in completing various experiments and exploring various secrets.

When Chen Yin was troubled by human emotions and unable to make a decision, Xiao Wu could always give just the right advice.

Therefore, Creator Xiaowu is very repulsive to human emotions.

"We can't wait any longer. Kill Chen Shi immediately and let him go to the underworld to accompany his father!"

Creation Xiaowu stood up and walked towards Chen Shi.

Chen Shi had already washed the pots and dishes and was busy making the bed.

"Stop cleaning it up!" Creation Xiaowu said with an evil voice.

Chen Shi trembled, looked up at him, and asked, "Are you leaving today? Aren't you going to stay for two days?"

Creation Xiao Wu met his gaze, his eyes full of expectation, like a child begging his father not to leave.

"I……"

Creator Xiao Wu was in a state of confusion and suddenly said, "Just stay for two days."

——The funeral is over, and I will return to Suzhou today to resume normal updates.
