"Sir, do you know the mother and daughter just now?"
"I don't know..."
"I think we should know each other."
Tao'er and Tong Zhihuan walked behind, muttering, talking non-stop.
Chen Changsheng went down the mountain carrying the wine, but came back empty-handed. But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he was not empty-handed. At least he had eaten a pancake.
After leaving the workshop, we went directly back to Liuyun Temple.
When a few people walked up the steps up the mountain, on the official road not far away, a man was driving the donkey in front of him towards the front.
"law!!"
The donkey pulling the cart was braying. There were goods piled on the cart, mostly some tea leaves and dried fruits, and just a few kilograms of fresh meat.
The old man driving the donkey was wearing old clothes, his shoes were stained with thick dust, and there were some white hairs between the tips of his hair. He looked like he was in his fifties, which was considered old.
"Drink, drink..."
The old man wiped his sweat and was about to sit down and rest for a while, but his eyes suddenly froze.
Sweat dripped from his forehead, he stretched out his hand to block the sun, and stared at the steps on the mountain in the distance.
When he saw that figure in a green shirt, the old man couldn't help but pause in his gaze, and he vaguely remembered that figure from many years ago.
"Is it him..."
The old man opened his lips slightly, quickly grabbed the rope hanging on the donkey, and tied it to the roadside.
It was just tied to the side of the road, and he ignored it, including the goods on the cart.
After taking steps, he walked towards the mountain.
It seemed that the person he saw was particularly important to him.
…
After returning to the temple, Chen Changsheng went to the library to find two miscellaneous books and read them. He also took a jar of wine from the side room and drank from it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I sat down on my front feet, I heard a voice.
"Sir, someone is looking for you!"
Tong Zhihuan came to the pavilion in the backyard and shouted.
Chen Changsheng paused and asked, "Who is he?"
Tong Zhihuan said: "It's just an ordinary old man waiting at the door of the Taoist temple."
Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and then stood up and walked towards the front yard.
I saw an old man with slightly pale hair standing in front of the Taoist temple.
The moment the old man saw Chen Changsheng, he was stunned.
"What a fairy!"
Li Sifang's expression was a little dull, as if he was in disbelief, and he walked quickly towards Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng couldn't remember who this person was for a moment, so he asked: "Old man, does Chen...recognize you?"
"Master Immortal, you have forgotten that you drank a cup of tea at my place that year and even did a fortune-telling for my son!"
Li Sifang continued: "By the way, my son's name is Li Anfu, does the immortal remember him?"
After hearing what he said, Chen Changsheng immediately thought of it and said, "Are you the owner of a restaurant?"
"Yes, yes, it's me!"
Li Sifang grinned, and then said: "The hexagram that the immortal said back then was really amazing. In the autumn of August of that year, my son really got it. It was exactly the same as what the immortal said, which was sixty-five!
!”
Chen Changsheng smiled helplessly and said: "The store is joking. Chen is not an immortal, but he is just hitting the mark. My son's inclusion in the list is all due to his own efforts and has nothing to do with Chen."
Li Sifang was a little unconvinced after all, and then said: "How can I be so accurate? By the way, when the immortal left before, he promised to go to my place for tea when he came back. Old man, I still saved some good things.
Tea, I’m just waiting for you to come back, Mr. Immortal.”
Chen Changsheng smiled helplessly, then raised his hand and said: "Let's not talk about this for now. Old man, please sit down first."
"Eh, eh, okay..."
Li Sifang's steps staggered a bit, as if he was too excited.
He thought he would never see this gentleman again in his life, but he never thought that he would meet him in the blink of an eye today.
"I didn't expect it to be true. It's something you can encounter but cannot ask for. It's really like this..."
Li Sifang muttered, looking at the gentleman in green shirt in front of him, suddenly at a loss.
Chen Changsheng smiled helplessly and said: "You are really not an immortal."
As soon as Li Sifang sat down, he suddenly became a little panicked.
"That's right, tea leaves, tea leaves..."
Li Sifang looked around and touched his pocket, as if he was very panicked.
"Shangxian loves tea, right? I'll get it right now, right away."
Li Sifang, who had just sat down, quickly stood up and ran down the mountain.
Chen Changsheng was stunned for a moment and said: "Don't panic, store owner..."
But no matter how Chen Changsheng shouted, Li Sifang seemed unable to hear him and walked down the mountain with staggering steps.
When walking up the steps down the mountain, Li Sifang turned around and shouted.
"Wait for me, Immortal!"
"The Immortal will definitely wait for me, the Immortal will wait for me..."
He muttered in his mouth, looked at the steps in front of him, and walked quickly down the mountain.
When Chen Changsheng came to the entrance of the Taoist temple, he never thought that the old man had already passed the corner and disappeared.
Chen Changsheng opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Tong Zhihuan and Taoer came over slowly. They looked outside, but within half a quarter of an hour, the old man had already gone down the mountain, stumbling and looking very panicked.
Li Sifang untied the rope tied to the tree, then unloaded the cart, climbed on the donkey, and headed outside.
Chen Changsheng, who was standing at the door of the Taoist temple, looked at this scene. He couldn't help but sigh, feeling surprised and ridiculous at the same time.
"Mr. Chen, is that old man coming again?" Tong Zhihuan asked.
Chen Changsheng nodded slightly, and then said: "Chen, please wait here."
Tong Zhihuan blinked and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.
Approximately half an hour passed.
The figure of the store owner appeared in Chen Changsheng's eyes.
Chen Changsheng paused and walked down the mountain.
When Chen Changsheng arrived at the gate of the mountain, he saw the shopkeeper walking over with a bag of things.
Li Sifang stuffed the bag of tea leaves into Chen Changsheng's arms.
Chen Changsheng paused and raised his head to look at him.
At this moment, Li Sifang was sweating profusely and seemed to be running too fast. When he stood in front of Chen Changsheng, he was still breathing heavily and his legs were trembling.
Li Sifang swallowed his saliva and said: "I hope the immortal will accept it."
Chen Changsheng wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he accepted it.
He smiled warmly and said, "Thank you."
Li Sifang shook his head and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, it is my Li family's blessing to meet the immortal chief."
Chen Changsheng denied: "My son is on the list because of his hard work, not because of Chen. Speaking of which, Chen really deserves it, but the store owner has gone such a long way just for this."
Chen has no choice but to accept your kindness."
Li Sifang said: "What are you talking about? It's just a bag of tea leaves."
Chen Changsheng smiled warmly and nodded.
"Let's go up the mountain and sit for a while."
"No, no, no!"
Li Sifang waved his hand to refuse and said: "I don't want to disturb the Immortal. I just want to send something to the Immortal. No trouble, no trouble..."
As he said that, he was about to leave, as flustered as before.
Chen Changsheng tried to persuade him to stay, but was still rejected.
Li Sifang waved his hand and then walked towards the road in the distance.
Chen Changsheng lowered his head and glanced at the tea leaves in his hand, then raised his head and glanced at the staggering figure.
He thought the staggering old man wanted something, but he left without saying anything.
Just to give you this bag of tea.
Chen Changsheng came back to his senses and thought to himself, people in this world are really simple and honest, and they would not hesitate to travel more than ten miles to deliver a bag of tea just for a little token of their gratitude.
