He Shiqi squatted in front of Lianchi's chessboard unhappily. He lost again, and lost to the blind man, Xiaoluoji. He held his chin with both hands, puffed up his face, and pursed his lips.
Guan Ye and Yun Xi squatted beside and watched.
"Oh no! Ah Qi, you made a wrong move again!" Yun Xi was so anxious that he jumped up and down, "You said your eyes are white? Little Lettuce can beat you even though he can't see!"
"Little Lettuce, he's playing on the breakpoint." The coffin master became Little Lettuce's eyes. Although the coffin master told Little Lettuce where He Shiqi was playing chess, it was not easy to remember the chess record in mind.
Little Lettuce immediately stopped him, and He Shiqi was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks: "This Gobang is too difficult—" He felt like he was using up all his brains in this life.
Yun Xi finally couldn't help but take action and pushed He Shiqi away: "Go away! I can even stump you with a game of Gobang."
Sanniang walked by gracefully, holding a pipe in her hand: "A true gentleman watches chess without saying a word~~~Playing chess is like gambling, it's so noisy."
"It's too difficult - it's too difficult for me - I don't want to learn anymore - learning is too difficult -" He Shiqi burst into tears beside him.
Sanniang was watching with a mixture of laughter and tears. This He Shiqi was really silly and cute. She exhaled a puff of cigarette and frowned slightly: "How many people are there in this world who deceive the world and steal reputation? These two words of fame and fortune really hurt people~~~"
The coffin master stroked his beard and said: "This fame and fortune is like a quagmire. Once you fall into it, you can't get out."
"There are many counterfeits in the world." Yun Xi said while playing chess. "There are ghostwriters for calligraphers and ghostwriters for novels. Two years ago, wasn't there a story writer who knew his story was stolen and became famous in the capital, and then died of anger? I remember that it was Fat Buddha who persuaded his soul at that time. He was very resentful."
Everyone nodded.
"Huh..." Sanniang exhaled another puff of smoke. "Ordinary people don't care who wrote this book or who painted this picture. Look, the original author is dead, but the one who deceived the world and stole the reputation is still alive. He married and had children in the capital and is living a good life."
“We can take care of the affairs of demons and monsters.” An old voice came out slowly from the mouth of the coffin master. There was bitterness and chill in his low voice. “But the affairs of human heart… I think even the true God can’t take care of it…” The coffin master smiled bitterly.
Sanniang chuckled and looked at Guan Ye: "Well, you are the most authoritative person to speak on this matter."
“Heh…” Mr. Guan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"I confessed everything—" Yun Yao ran in happily, swinging the scroll, "I confessed everything, the old woman was also taken away by Lu Jingting."
Everyone looked at Yun Yao and smiled with relief.
Lian Youyou leaned on the porch chair in Lin Tingjun's cabin, supporting her face with one hand, looking absent-minded.
Lin Tingjun massaged her shoulders from behind and frowned slightly: "If we don't fight, your muscles will become loose."
Lian Youyou's eyes immediately flashed with coldness: "Are you saying I'm fat?!"
Lin Tingjun said nothing, frowned, looked behind Yun Yao, and saw Heiyan coming back: "Let Heiyan continue to massage you." Lin Tingjun wanted to leave.
"Humph." Lian Youyou rolled her eyes at him, "Are you afraid that I will hit you?"
Lin Tingjun had already been standing aside, waving to Hei Yan with a gentle look.
However, Hei Yan saw from afar that Lin Tingjun's face suddenly became gentle, and he became alert and did not fall for Lin Tingjun's trick. Instead, he squatted in the distance and watched the situation of Lin Tingjun and Lian Youyou.
Lin Tingjun waved for a while, but found that Hei Yan didn't come over. The tenderness in his eyes gradually turned awkward, and his face turned pale. He blinked, and obediently returned to Lian Youyou and continued to massage her shoulders.
"Wife, you've worked hard." Lin Tingjun said.
Lian Youyou raised the corner of her mouth, a smile filled her eyes, and continued to look in Yun Yao's direction, not minding Lin Tingjun's call of "wife".
Yun Yao placed the painting on the stone table and put one hand on her waist: "I said what Sister Youyou taught me, and the old woman confessed everything."
Sanniang leaned lazily against the stone table and exhaled a puff of cigarette: "This person... is really strange. He falls in love with everything after a long time. I have seen someone love a dog to death before~~~"
"I've never seen it!" The coffin master covered his heart, looking like an old man who was frightened. "Sanniang, please don't talk nonsense."
"Perhaps this is the reason why the gods prefer humans?" Yun Xi raised his hand and placed it on Sanniang's shoulder. "Humans have emotions and love, and they love to the extreme regardless of gender or race~~" Yun Yao lowered her head and looked deeply at Sanniang.
Sanniang rolled her eyes at him and turned away, but did not remove Yunxi's hand on her shoulder: "Humph... Humans are also good at sweet talk. Look at how obedient Lu Jingting is after being coaxed by Huang Ye~~~"
"Hey, what do you think, does Lu Jingting have any feelings for Huang Ye?" Yun Yao asked curiously.
Grandpa Guan immediately shook his head and waved his hands: "I don't understand, I don't understand. I just don't understand. He doesn't like a good-looking woman, he likes a man. That Lu Jingting is not as good-looking as our Yunxi." Grandpa Guan gave Yunxi a thumbs up.
Yun Xi was immediately elated, raising his hand to shake a strand of hair from his face: "Yes, there are few handsome men like me in the world~~~"
"Ugh—" Yun Yao vomited immediately. Yun Xi immediately glanced at Yun Yao coldly: "You are so ugly, how dare you look down on me?!"
“Huh?!” Yun Yao immediately raised her chin proudly, “I’m not good-looking? Let me tell you! Today, the Third Young Master of the Fu family came and was so fascinated by me that he chased me out to ask me out!”
"Ugh——" Yunxi vomited immediately. They were indeed biological brother and sister.
Yun Yao immediately puffed up her face and glared at Yun Xi, putting her hands on her hips: "Show me if you vomit again! I'll go and agree to a date with that Fu Minghui right away!" Yun Yao pretended to leave.
Yun Xi immediately stopped her: "No, no, no, girl." Yun Xi held Yun Yao, but Yun Yao smiled when she turned away. Yun Xi also advised earnestly, "Although you are heartbroken, you can't choose so casually. Fu Minghui is a member of the Fu family, and he is not a good person at first glance. Brother will find you a better one, ah, a better one." Yun Xi coaxed her gently, but Yun Yao didn't know that she looked down on Fu Minghui at all.
Lord Yao Guang walked in from the door and shouted, "It's time for dinner~~~~~ Fat Buddha has made delicious food for everyone today." Yao Guang said this with a beaming face.
Everyone's eyes were immediately filled with anticipation. Fat Buddha was their chef, and the vegetarian food he made tasted just like the meat dishes. In those poor days, everyone relied on Fat Buddha's exquisite cooking skills to get by.
Yun Xi coaxed Yun Yao while going out. Guan Ye pulled Little Lettuce and called He Shiqi: "Ah Qi, stop crying and go eat something good."
He Shiqi stood up crying, such a big lump, crying like a child. (To be continued)
