Lingxian Zhenjun

Chapter 51 Eyes (Please recommend a monthly ticket!)
It seemed that it was going to rain, and the bright sunshine was covered by dark clouds, and passers-by on the street hurried past the low eaves.

As soon as you enter the town, the ancient eaves pillars and hollow railings exude an old atmosphere. The birds gathered on the upturned corners of the eaves are curiously watching the bullock carts driving into the long street. Driving slowly on the road, Sun Zhengde called the passers-by to pay attention from time to time.

Beside him, Chen Yuan looked at both sides of the street. Not long after, he jumped out of the car and asked a clerk in a wine shop.

"Brother, please ask, is there a family named Chang in this town?"

"Yes, there are, but there are also two or three households. I don't know which one you are looking for?"

The guy didn't refuse because Chen Yuan was just asking for directions. Instead, Chen Yuan was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect there were two or three other companies, so he thought of a key point: "Moved from Tongshan."

"Moved from the city?"

The guy is not very old, and what happened 30 or [-] years ago was really embarrassing for him, but fortunately, with the copper in his hand, there was a smile on his face, "Please wait a moment, sir, I will go in and ask the shopkeeper."

After finishing speaking, he put seven or eight coins into his sleeves, turned around and ran to the counter in the store. Over there, a chubby old man raised his head, listened to the clerk's words, and glanced at Chen Yuan who was clasping his hands at the door. Then I said something to the guy, and the guy came out.

"The shopkeeper knows that it's at the one in Dongtou. The guest officer only needs to turn right at the intersection in front of him, walk to the end, and see a plum tree at the door. But..."

The guy looked around and lowered his voice, "The shopkeeper said...that family has bad luck, is in bad luck, owes a lot of foreign debts, the guest officer is going, be careful not to let the creditors see, maybe ask you Woolen cloth."

Chen Yuan frowned.

"Why do you owe foreign debt? Gambling?"

The guy curled his lips and shook his head: "Where does this little guy know?"

"Thank you, brother, and thank the shopkeeper for me!" After finishing speaking, Chen Yuan went back to the car and asked Sun Zhengde to drive to the address that the shop guy Ji said. On the way, he was also thinking, if it was just a debt, If the amount is not large, just pay it back for the other party, even if the kindness is offset.

Not long after, I turned the corner of the street and headed east for a distance of only twenty or thirty feet, and I saw the plum tree that the buddy had mentioned. Several children were clamoring to beat green and yellow plums with long poles. They saw a strange-looking cow. The car stopped at the door and shouted: "Run!" and dragged the long pole to scatter.

The gatehouse of the small courtyard with black tiles and white walls was tightly closed. Chen Yuan got out of the car and knocked for a while before the sound of footsteps came. The door squeaked open, revealing half of her face. It was an old woman with a headband wrapped in navy blue. , with almost all white hair in a bun, he looked at the strange young man outside the door vigilantly.

"Who are you looking for?"

"I'm traveling around performing woodcarving shows, passing by here, looking for a house to stay for a few nights..."

"My family doesn't stay overnight." Seeing Chen Yuan stretching her hand into her sleeve, the old woman knocked on the door directly: "...and don't need money!"

"Old man!"

Chen Yuan thought about it for a while, then changed the way she said it, and hurriedly knocked on the door and said, "Actually, I'm here to repay my father's favor. Back then, my father was favored by Chang Weng. When he was dying, he specially asked me to find him. I went to Tong Shan County, after inquiring for many days, I found out that your family has moved to this town."

squeak~
The courtyard door opened again, and the old woman looked straight at Chen Yuan: "How do you know my husband?"

"Actually, I don't know. I just heard from my father that he went out to do business, fell into the hands of thieves, and was rescued by an old man in the end. The old man simply said that he was Tongshan Changweng..."

Of course, Chen Yuan couldn't say that she knew Chang Weng from the stories in the book, so she made up a random story, and sure enough, the old woman's eyes turned red suddenly, and she cursed: "This old thing likes to seek Taoism and immortality. , the family doesn't care about..."

Hearing the old woman's words, Chen Yuan roughly understood that the family didn't know that Chang Weng had already stepped into the practice, but they just went out to travel on the pretext of seeking Taoism and immortality, which made people feel that they were not doing their job properly.

Of course, Chang Weng was dead, and they probably didn't know it.

Or, it has been regarded as the other party's death outside, after all, he has not returned home for more than 20 years.

"Old man, can I let you in..." Chen Yuan was speaking, when there was a sudden noise in the courtyard, as if someone threw something and shouted, the old woman couldn't even close the door in time, she was in a hurry with her cane rush over.

Chen Yuan asked the fat Taoist and the master to wait for him in the bullock cart first, then opened the door and followed him in. With a flick of her finger, a gust of breeze wrapped around the slow feet of the old woman, who walked a little more nimbly.

The small courtyard was not big, and the plum trees outside the wall covered half of the courtyard when their branches and leaves stretched out. The noisy sound stopped for a while, and a man in poor clothes rushed out of the house.There were also two children, a boy and a girl who followed behind and yelled "Second Uncle is obedient" and "Second Uncle, go back to the house quickly".

However, the man who rushed out ignored the two children at all, ran wildly in the yard, and even took off his clothes and rolled all over the floor. The anxious old woman rushed up and beat him with a cane.

"The tree is moving...it wants to eat me!" "Mom, what are you holding in your hand?! Don't come here."

"Ah... that tree ran into the yard."

Regardless of the pain from the beating, the man pointed nervously at the plum tree protruding into the courtyard, and backed away repeatedly on the ground.Chen Yuan turned her head to look at the plum tree swaying and dancing slowly in the wind, shaking its branches full of plums.

Without the aura of becoming a demon and becoming a spirit, this is just an ordinary tree.

'His insanity is probably worse than Master's. '

Chen Yuan quietly raised two fingers together, and flicked away a wisp of green air. The man who was insane fell silent, closed his eyes, staggered to the ground as if he was tired, fell back and fell asleep.

The two children have long been used to it. Seeing the second uncle sleeping, their slender arms tried to drag the man into the house.Chen Yuan couldn't see it, so she stepped forward to help and carried the other party to the bed in the house.

"Oh, thank you very much." The old woman no longer had the indifference she had just rejected. The room was narrow, so she moved two stools and asked Chen Yuan to sit outside under the eaves.

He also asked the two children to pour two glasses of water over. The family was struggling, so naturally there was no tea, but the politeness of the guests showed that the family was once too rich.

"Old man, that was... your youngest son?"

The old woman nodded with tears in her eyes.

"He was originally a good person, but since his elder brother disappeared, he has become like this."

"What's going on?"

She probably regarded Chen Yuan as someone she could confide in, and the old woman suffocated the pain in her heart. Following Chen Yuan's soft questioning, she fell silent for a while, and then slowly uttered it.

"Lao Shen and her husband have two sons, the eldest ran away ten years ago without saying a word.

After leaving for several years, the daughter-in-law couldn't stay any longer, leaving the two children behind and ran back to her mother's house. The old man was so angry with the youngest son that he wanted to find his elder brother... After two months, he was found on the road outside the town for some reason. At that time, she was already insane... The old man spent all his time asking famous doctors to treat him, but it didn't work. Instead, his madness became worse and worse... The family doctor ran out of money and owed a lot of debts. The second daughter-in-law also ran away soon. "

Chang wiped the corners of her eyes, sniffed her nose, and said with a sudden smile, "I made you laugh."

"Who doesn't encounter difficulties, the old man can just call me Chen Yuan. It happens that I also know some medical skills, so why don't I show your son the illness?"

The old woman's eyes flickered suddenly, and she was about to get up, but she sat back quickly, "Mr. Chen, I don't have money for your consultation at home."

"No need. Chang Weng saved my father back then."

Chen Yuan smiled, and patted the back of the old woman's hand lightly to signal her reassurance, then got up and walked into the room, and pretended to put her hand on the sleepy man's wrist on the couch.

How can he see a doctor, don't pass some mana to try to know the cause of the disease, but unfortunately nothing is found. When he withdraws the mana, the crooked handwriting on the messy paper on the side of the old table makes Chen Yuan curious.

He reached out and took it out.

It looks like scribbled handwriting, with strange words.

"...the mountain wants to eat me..."

"Brother walked into the mountain... the mountain opened one eye... he was staring at me..."
