Chapter 57 Romance of the Three Kingdoms
"Then...what should I do now? Why don't I return the landing clock tomorrow?" Qi Meng was also panicked at this time.
"I have my own way, leave it to me." As I said, I found a hemp rope from my backpack, walked to the counter, got up and carried the landing clock.
As soon as the landing clock moved, the tiger returned to normal. He screamed twice, squatted on the ground and licked his claws.
It seems that this landing clock is not only as simple as I have seen, but there are even more vicious things in it.
"Wait, where are you going to take it?" Qi Meng stood up and asked.
"Of course, I will return the jade to Zhao, and the goods will return to the original owner!" After saying that, I carried the ground bell and walked out.
The rain had not stopped yet, but it was obviously much smaller than before. I walked across the street, looked up at the plaques of each store, and finally found a shop called "Xiyangyang Lamb Noodles".
Standing in front of the store, I looked at Qimeng's store in accordance with my direction. It was this Xiyangyang mutton shop that was robbed!
After finding the culprit, I put down the floor bell carrying on my shoulders. Since this family is not moral, I will send it to the top, and I will put the floor bell on the roof of his shop.
First let Aunt Zhu go to bad luck, and then take away the landing clock when she leaves with her grandfather.
The reason I dared to do this is because there is a water storage tank on the roof of the entire street of Guli Town, and the floor clock is just right there. If I don’t climb onto the roof and look at it, I won’t be easily discovered.
First, I tied the hemp rope to the floor bell, then tied the other end to my waist, turned over and climbed onto the roof, and then pulled the floor bell to the roof with the hemp rope and carefully placed it into the water storage tank.
After all this was done, I climbed down from the roof.
When she returned to the store, Qimeng had already started boiling water and was about to cook noodles. When she saw me coming back, she hurriedly asked me:
"Wang Cheng, why don't you forget it? Aunt Zhu just wants to make more money. Actually, she is a pretty good person."
"It's okay, just teach her a little lesson and let her take these bad intentions in the future." I said and looked at my grandfather and asked:
"Grandpa, are you hungry?"
Grandpa nodded, then shook his head, suddenly stood up from the chair, and sang the song with his hands and feet:
"The sun is the redest, Grandpa Mao is the closest, your glorious thoughts will always shine on my heart! The spring breeze is the warmest, Grandpa Mao is the closest, your fate will always refer to the voyage, and you will always be intimate with us..."
Qimeng laughed at grandpa’s singing:
"Don't say, your grandfather sang very nicely."
"That's not. When I went to the field to work, I could sing for a long time." As I said that, I remembered the time when I went to the field with my grandfather when I was a child. My grandfather and my parents were doing farm work in the fields, and I was catching crickets next to me.
Every noon, my sister Qimeng would come to deliver food on time, and the whole family would have lunch on the shore, talking and laughing. Now that I think about it, that time was the happiest thing in my life.
The previous scene flashed in my mind. Looking at the Qi Meng sitting opposite me, I knew she was not my sister, but I still had an indescribable feeling for her in my heart.
She sat in front of me and I looked at her quietly. She gave me the feeling that my sister was back. I was very resistant to this idea, but I couldn't control my emotions. It was like the sea water at high tide, which was not in my control at all.
She is not a sister, but she looks so much like her...
"Wang Cheng, why are you watching stupidly? Let's try your sister's skills later." Qi Meng said as she put the washed wild mushrooms into a bamboo basket, and then sprinkled a layer of soaked tea on it.
"Sister Qimeng, what's your last name?" I said and took a step closer to her.
"Sir, I have the same surname as my grandma." Qimeng focused on sprinkling the tea leaves evenly on the wild mushrooms, and did not raise his head when he spoke.
"What about your grandma?" I asked curiously.
"I left three years ago and left me with such a shop." Qi Meng said, looking up at the small noodle restaurant, feeling moved when she was moved, and her eyes turned red.
But she didn't cry, but she was a little more swallowed when she spoke. She sucked her nose and looked at the store and said softly:
"I have never met my parents since I was born, and I don't even know their names. My grandmother raised me alone and taught me to read and read. Of course, what she taught me the most was to make noodles..."
Speaking of this, Qimeng bit her lower lip and handed me the bamboo basket in her hand:
"Come on, help me put it on the table behind."
Putting the bamboo basket in place, I said to Qimeng with some guilt:
"Sister Qimeng, I'm sorry, I've made you recall the sad things again."
Qimeng waved her hand, smiled, and said:
"What else do you need to apologize for this? It's nothing, it's all over. All I think about now is to help my grandma manage this noodle shop, find a good man to marry, have another child, and let him learn how to make noodle with me. I can't let my grandma's skills be lost."
"The noodles should be cold, I'll go and give them to you!" Qimeng said as he filled some wild mushrooms with a small bowl and ran into the kitchen.
In less than five minutes, Qimeng brought out two bowls of steaming wild mushroom noodles from the kitchen.
I quickly got up and took it. As soon as the noodles were in my hand, a scent of fresh smell came straight into my nose.
I was so hungry that I was stimulated by the fragrance of this side, and my appetite suddenly increased. Now I can eat a cow.
"Grandpa, it's time to eat!" I put the wild mushroom noodles in my hand on the dining table and shouted to my grandfather.
After hearing my words, my grandfather stood up, straightened his waist, pointed with one hand and shouted at me:
"Third brother, I haven't seen each other for many years. I miss you so much!"
Grandpa ran towards me and hugged me tightly.
Judging from my experience, when my grandfather was awake, his favorite classics were "Journey to the West" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Now that he called me third brother, he must have started to play the Romance of the Three Kingdoms again.
So I followed his thoughts and said:
"Lord, I haven't returned for a few years, my brother is guilty!"
"I'm calling you a lord outside, and now I'm the two brothers, call you a big brother!"
"Brother, take a seat to eat noodles!"
"Okay, eat noodles!"
After hearing the conversation between me and my grandfather, Qimeng covered her mouth and laughed so hard that she trembled.
Before the noodles were in the mouth, the delicious smell from the wild mushrooms came to my face. I picked up a chopstick and put it in my mouth. The noodles were very strong, sliding between my lips and teeth, and it also had a little fragrance of tea.
I picked up the bowl and took a sip of the noodle soup. The fresh fragrance was filled with a hint of sweetness. This bowl of wild mushroom noodles, which looked ordinary, completely opened my taste buds. After a bowl of noodles, there was no soup left.
The grandfather beside him also ate voraciously.
"Third brother, good noodles, good noodles! Why don't you give me a bowl of noodles with such delicious noodles?" Grandpa slapped his mouth and forssed his thumb after eating the noodles.
"Okay, let's give it to the lord!" Qimeng also followed me and my grandfather into the play.
That night, my grandfather and I ate three large bowls of wild mushroom noodles.
After eating, grandpa began to get sleepy. Qimeng cleaned up a room for him to rest.
After arranging my grandfather, I took out the things in my backpack and spread them on the ground, found a bamboo pole, hung the backpack upside down, and saw if they could be dried overnight. If the rain stopped tomorrow, I would take my grandfather away.
