Chapter 4: Returning to the restaurant in a hurry after three years
"The most difficult time is coming again..."
All in all, this was the nineteenth time he had died, and he had long been accustomed to this.
If you die twice more, you'll get used to it.
Chen Changsheng once again lost his perception of the outside world, and what followed was boundless darkness.
In comparison, this is the most difficult thing.
This is completely different from dreaming, because the consciousness is awake, just like people in the middle of the night who will constantly question themselves. The fear born in the heart is more irritating than the fear from the outside world.
The first time Chen Changsheng was in a 'dead' state, he almost went crazy, but fortunately he survived it, and when he experienced it again later, he got used to it a lot.
Now, he can face it calmly.
During the period of consciousness, he would often think about some philosophical issues, either recalling his previous life, or looking forward to the outside world.
Sometimes I get bored and think about how to get rid of this curse. In short, I just can't let myself be idle.
In this way, you can survive another reincarnation.
…
At the gate of the City God's Temple.
Lord Cheng Huang was wandering around the door, looking outside, feeling a little anxious.
It wasn't until a Japanese figure appeared in his eyes that the City God raised his head and hurried forward to meet him.
Hong Sancai said respectfully: "Lord City God."
"What did that gentleman say?" Lord Cheng Huang asked anxiously.
Hong Sancai stood up and replied: "Sir Chenghuang, Mr. Chen agreed, but..."
"Nothing."
"Sir, he said that he would have to wait until today, three years later, before he could come to the banquet."
After hearing this, Lord Cheng Huang finally felt relieved.
"It's good if you can come, it's good if you can come."
A smile appeared on Lord Cheng Huang's face. He stroked his white beard gently and was no longer as nervous as before.
He turned his attention to Hong Sancai and said: "You did a good job. The previous Yin Ghost Envoy has completed his merits and has entered reincarnation. Now the position is vacant. You can be the Yin Ghost Envoy next."
The City God was divided into four departments and three envoys, and the Yin Gui envoy was one of the three envoys. He was in charge of day and night patrols, and his position was like that of a head catcher in a government office.
After hearing this, Hong Sancai quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Lord Chenghuang, for your promotion!"
Lord Cheng Huang put his hands behind his back and said, "Get up and do your own thing from now on. In addition, how about you talk to me about Mr. Chen again?"
Hong Sancai understood in his heart and agreed: "Follow the order."
That's really what he meant.
I just took advantage of Mr. Chen.
Now it seems that Mr. Chen is much more powerful than he thought, and even the City God tried his best to invite him.
Thinking of this, Hong Sancai couldn't help but think of the days when he had long conversations with Mr. Chen.
From this point of view, it's just that I don't have this kind of immortal fate.
If you can't catch it yourself, you can't blame others.
…
Time flies and the years turn around.
Old Man Zhang was still running his wine shop. When he met Mr. Chen that day, he asked something that he had not dared to ask for a long time. He had been worried about this for several days, but when he slowly thought about it, he
I feel less scared again.
He remembered what Mr. Chen said again, and thought about it, he really should find someone to pass on his skills to, but now that he is old, it is impossible to have an heir, so he can only find someone slowly.
Hong Sancai, the original leader of Liuyun Temple, led a group of people to patrol day and night, walking among humans and ghosts, maintaining the peace of Qiuyue Fang.
Speaking of which, this can be regarded as immortality, but he is no longer a human being.
And the Xuanhuang left in Liuyun Temple also became the new temple owner of Liuyun Temple.
In the first year after my husband left.
Anning County, where Qiuyue Fang belongs, suffered a heavy snowfall.
This heavy snowfall was extraordinary. In Qiuyuefang alone, more than ten families' houses were collapsed by the heavy snow. Many families never woke up after sleeping and were frozen to death.
In a dream.
The government and citizens immediately organized a disaster response. Although things improved a lot, many people were displaced because of the heavy snow.
Also in this year, the Taoist priest from Liuyun Temple went down the mountain and took five children up the mountain, four boys and one girl, all children.
It's a new reincarnation again.
Hong Sancai, a ghost and god, also knew about this and went back to the mountain to take a look himself.
Seeing that the inside of the temple was full of life again, he couldn't help but feel a lot more comfortable.
Winter passes and spring comes.
Many people died in the winter, but those who survived still had to face a new life.
Many beggars appeared in every neighborhood in Anning County. These people were homeless during the heavy snowfall. They were lucky enough not to freeze to death and starve to death, so they became beggars.
And old man Zhang in the Qiuyuefang wine shop also took in a little beggar in the beginning of spring.
The price is half a piece of bran cake.
Old Man Zhang had good eyesight, and the little beggar was very able to endure hardships. It was early spring and the weather was cold and gloomy. I followed him to fetch water from the mountain stream outside the house, and he never said a word about being tired.
It can be regarded as a treasure found.
After the disaster, people's livelihood gradually recovered, and Anning County returned to its former peace.
There are always people sitting around under the trees in the village, talking about interesting things. The teahouse is bustling with people, and the noodle shop by the bridge is also lively.
————
In the blink of an eye, three years have passed...
————
One day, the City God's Temple suddenly closed its doors.
It is said that a ghost or god entrusted a dream to the county magistrate. The magistrate of Anning County personally came to Qiuyuefang and ordered people to seal off the area around the City God's Temple. No one was allowed to approach the City God's Temple for three days.
All this is waiting for someone to arrive.
The little beggar taken in by Old Man Zhang is now in the age of dancing elephants. He wears a felt hat on his head and looks like a waiter. He looks strong and has dark skin.
After Old Man Zhang took him in, he gave him a new name - Xiaoliu.
A pair of soap boots stepped into the wine shop.
The visitor placed the gourd on the table and said: "Qiuyue Brewing, first put a pot on it and fill the gourd full."
Xiao Liu looked at the wine gourd that was handed over and was a little confused when he saw the size: "Sir, we have been selling a lot of Qiuyue Brewing in recent days, and the rest may not be enough to fill this gourd."
"Not enough?"
Xiao Liu heard this voice and raised his eyes.
I saw Mr. Qingshan turn around and look at him.
Xiaoliu was in a daze. In all his years in Qiuyuefang, he had never seen such an elegant person. Even his face gave people a sense of purity.
Chen Changsheng saw that this man was young, so he asked: "Where is your shopkeeper?"
Xiao Liu came back to his senses and said: "Our shopkeeper went to get oil and will be back in a while."
Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll just wait for a while."
Xiao Liu nodded and greeted Chen Changsheng to come in.
"Sir, please sit down first."
Xiaoliu asked: "Sir, do you want tea or alcohol?"
"Of course you come to a wine shop to drink." Chen Changsheng said with a smile: "You can't fill a gourd, but you can always have a pot, right?"
"some."
Xiao Liu agreed and said, "Sir, please wait for a moment."
Chen Changsheng waved his hand and said: "Go."
Xiao Liu then went to get some drinks.
Chen Changsheng sat in the wine shop and looked at it.
Needless to say, the changes have been quite big. Old man Zhang also renovated the wine shop and it seems to be much more orderly.
Xiaoliu, on the other hand, looked at the gentleman from time to time, thinking that with such a manner of speaking and temperament, this gentleman must be extraordinary and must not be neglected.
