The Tale Never Ends

Chapter 24: Food stalls

Views:

Old Uncle Chen has never seen his parents since he was born, and he has followed his master since he was a child. The master taught him the art of Yin Yang and Bagua since he was a child, laying a solid foundation. In the past, when the master was doing divination for people, he would put his hands in his sleeves and practice secretly in the back while the master was in front of him. As time goes by, I understand. It’s a pity that he was born at the wrong time! It seems that when he was 12 years old, he wandered with his master, lived in a Taoist temple, and was woken up in the middle of the night.

At that time, when the Ten-Year Movement was in full swing, this Taoist temple belonged to the Four Old Ages. A group of people came to the mountains with torches to burn the Taoist temple. Originally, the group did not come for their masters and disciples, but under the overwhelming pressure of the people, In front of the sea, the master and apprentice could only run away in fear. When people see people running out of Taoist temples, in that era of "tightening the strings of class struggle," this is the discovery of a new trend in class struggle! After a tight chase, the master and the apprentice ran separately, and the pursuers also split up. The master fell off the cliff while escaping and ascended to heaven. He was caught.

These people were also greatly disappointed when they saw that they were children. The leader of those people was Zheng Haoshan, nicknamed the Living King of Hell. Just from this nickname, you would know that this guy is nothing! To the naked eye, this guy is a bad idea! At that time, he told everyone: "I will take this little brat back for interrogation alone!" So he took the child back to his home. It turned out that this living king of hell had a son who was seriously ill. He didn't know what he thought, and let the captured man The child was asked to do calculations and told that if the calculation was good, I would let you go. If the calculation was not good, you would be a bastard of a monster. I would drag you out to criticize and beat you to death! Uncle Chen was only 12 years old at the time. He was frightened, so he figured it out, and then said: "Get ready for the funeral!" The Living King of Hell glared, "I'm not asking you whether you live or die, I'm asking you if there is anything you can do! "Old Uncle Chen said, "Just because I can't do anything, it doesn't mean that others can't do anything either!" This sentence made Old Uncle Chen regret it for the rest of his life! It turns out that this living King of Hell is also imprisoning a Mr. Yin-Yang! This Living King of Hell used various methods and tortured him to force Mr. Yin and Yang to hand over his skills to him. This living King of Hell is sinister and vicious. Every time he learns a skill, he must test the effect. If it doesn't work, he won't give him food. After getting these words from Uncle Chen, he knew that Mr. Yin and Yang must have a way. I don't know what sinister means he used later. , forcing Mr. Yin and Yang to steal and replace his son with a nearby child who was born on the same year, month and day as his son. As for how this damaging move was achieved, we don't know.

Later, Uncle Chen became the godson of the five-guarantee household in the village. When the villagers had troubles, no matter how big or small, they would secretly come to him to settle matters. He did not know how to restrain himself, nor did he follow his master's teachings. He had no taboos until he became blind decades later. . After his eyes were blinded, Uncle Chen asked my dad the reason for his blindness. My dad gave him some calculations and asked him: "Have you ever used Li Daitao's Zombie Technique on a human life?" It was then that he had an epiphany. A simple sentence at that time revealed the secret, causing an innocent child to be harmed and suffered retribution. From then on, he never dared to violate the rules and make random calculations. In fact, it’s not just this matter. In fact, Uncle Chen was young and energetic back then, and he didn’t believe in karma, so when pregnant women in each village came to him to figure out whether they would have a boy or a girl, he knew everything and kept it secret, which often resulted in When abortion occurs, it is tantamount to murder in disguise. Therefore, in the final analysis, all these shortcomings are on his head. Over the past few decades, the "five evils and three shortcomings" have been fulfilled one by one, until now.

Back to the present, Dad and Uncle Quan came back in the evening. When my dad saw me when he came in, he said, "The matter has been solved quite well. Today, your old Uncle Chen showed off his skills. It's quite exciting, right?" I looked at my dad with black lines on my head and said, "The reason why I can't get through is also your old man's trick." Did you do it?" My dad agreed with a smile. I looked down and saw that the two brothers were carrying fishing rods with empty hands and no fish at all, so I asked, "Didn't you go fishing? Where are the fish?" Dad smiled again and said, "Let it go." I almost spit out a mouthful of blood: "Dad! You finished fishing and let the fish go? What shall we eat tonight?"

Dad ignored me, put down the fishing tools, and then stood in the corridor and shouted: "Who hasn't gotten off work yet! Are you going to the food stall?" In fact, at this time, only Aunt Fen, the old blind master and his apprentice, and one other person were left. He was an old man, and Aunt Fen paid no attention to him. He went home to eat. However, after Dad shouted out his words, the door of a classroom at the end of the corridor suddenly opened. The blind old Uncle Chen dragged his apprentice Chong Xi and rushed towards Dad in three steps and two steps: "Let's go!" Watching with Lin Feng, my eyes almost popped out. Is this old man blind or not? He has to be helped to walk at noon. How come he can run faster than Liu Xiang at the mention of food stalls? This old man is hopeless and has no bottom line at all!

Dad couldn't laugh or cry when he saw Uncle Chen like this, "Okay, Old Chen, you're getting stronger!" As he said, Dad looked at Uncle Chen's clothes: "Old Chen, why don't you change your clothes? You can go eat at a food stall here. ... ... "The old blind man is now wearing a linen gown, and he has a sense of calculation in the linen clothes. If this outfit is used to go out to eat seafood and barbecue, I am afraid it will not be appropriate.

At six o'clock in the evening, our father and son, Uncle Quan and his son, and Uncle Chen's master and apprentice came to the "Food Street Barbecue Street" wearing big pants and vests and talking and laughing together. In fact, we come to this place often, so the boss already knows us. When he saw us, he enthusiastically brought two dozen beers and said, "How many of you, do you want to serve skewers as usual?" No, Dad didn't say anything. Uncle Chen spoke first: "Hey, give me two more big kidneys!" I was laughing at the table, "Say Uncle Chen, you are also a master of Chinese studies after all, can we be more serious? Don't always follow the crowd. He's like a master who practices stalls at the same time." Unexpectedly, the old man retorted to me: "What are you doing seriously? Isn't your dad a better master than me? Then isn't he still less in tune than me?" Usually at this time, dad is really very He was careless. He was like a child when he was careless. After hearing what the old blind man said, his father immediately pointed at his nose and turned around and asked everyone: "Am I out of tune? Where am I not in tune? Look at me. Doesn't it look the same?" The rest of the people at the table all nodded in affirmation, and then six of them laughed.

Everyone chatted while eating skewers, during which time they talked about how Uncle Chen solved the dispute at Mr. Li's house today at noon. Lin Feng praised Yuan Chongxi and said, "Don't look at this kid Chongxi who usually doesn't show off his skills. What a good guy, he became a blockbuster." !” The old blind man still smiled conceitedly: “Hey, don’t look at who taught you the apprentice!” I chuckled and said, “Yes, yes, I think your Chen Banxian’s hands and eyes are as good as the sky, and your apprentice will be among the best.” .." The old man smiled obscenely, and then sighed: "What do you know? Don't rely on Chong Xi's calculations, but they are just accurate." Lin Feng didn't understand what the old blind man meant, so he asked: "Uncle, what do you mean? Is it just an accurate calculation?" The old man sighed again and said: "Hey... Chong Xi, this kid, it would be great if he was as smart as you and Shi Yan..." Yuan Chongxi bit on the side Eating meat skewers and saying nothing.

While we were chatting, an uncle led a little girl to the table. I knew both of them. The child was a piano student in my class, and the uncle was the child’s grandfather. Dad hurriedly stood up and shook hands. After being polite, the uncle said: "What a coincidence, you guys are all here. My little granddaughter wants to eat meat skewers, so she asked me to take it out..." I hurriedly said We asked the boss to add chairs and invited the grandson and grandson to sit at our table and chatted while eating. It turned out that this uncle was the owner of the chain store across the road. Because he was so close, the smell of barbecue reached the child's nose, and the child yelled for his grandfather to buy it. Children always feel a sense of fear when they see the teacher, so I was still a little unhappy when the child came to the table, but when the delicious food was served, I couldn’t care less...

We were eating skewers and drinking together. Unexpectedly, the shop owner was also a fishing enthusiast. As soon as he heard that my father and Uncle Quan were fishing today, the conversation started immediately. I heard this uncle chatting with my father and the others while drinking wine: "In the first two months, I caught such a big carp in the fishing garden, hehe."... However, Yuan Chongxi and I and None of the three of Lin Feng are interested in fishing. The three of us talked about online games and work. One was talking about students, the other was talking about the recent increase in the price of gaming equipment, etc... While we were eating and drinking, suddenly A middle-aged woman came from a distance and came straight to our table. I hurriedly came to the table and looked at the shop uncle and asked, "Have you seen my graduation certificate from back then?" I asked what was going on. It turned out that this woman was the grandmother of the child on the table. Her professional title was Certification requires the original graduation certificate. Today is the last day and it will be used tomorrow. When I went home to look for it, I found that I couldn't find the diploma, so I hurried out to ask the child's grandfather. The child's grandfather replied: "Isn't that thing of yours always in the cabinet? What happened? The box where the things were placed is lost?" The child's grandmother replied: "What? The box is there but the things are gone!" The child's grandfather took a sip of beer. He said, "Look, why are you so anxious? There are experts here who can help you figure out where the things have gone." As he said that, the uncle looked at us on the table...
