Chapter 184 Transcript
Zhou Shui first took a look at the environment.This place also seems to be a cave, not too deep, only about six or seven meters. There are rough wooden tables, wooden benches, and a kang in the cave.There is a stove under the edge of the kang, and a pot of water is still boiling on the stove. The water has boiled and is emitting white gas.

Zhou Shui turned his head, wanting to take a look at the place where he just came in. To his surprise, there were actually two white pine doors there, both of which were closed, isolated from the cave that Zhou Shui came out of.

It seemed late, and a bowl of pine oil was burning on the rough wooden table.With the help of the light, Zhou Shui carefully looked at the old man and the old lady again.The two elders are about 60 years old, with clear and kind faces, and the old man still has a goatee.

At this time, the old man spoke first: "Boy, be hungry, you really have a lot of food, this morning you can eat, okay, I will cook it for you. Don't say that you are stingy when you go out." The old man said, while Taking out a long object from a wicker basket, Zhou Shui took a closer look and found that it was a grass snake with white flowers.The snake was already dead, so the old man hung the snake's head on the door frame, and after three times, five times and two times, a piece of snake skin came off.While cleaning up the snake, the old man said, "This guy is poisonous. He bit a child in elementary school some time ago. If I hadn't discovered it early, the child's life would be in danger. When my old man got angry, he would kill it. By the way, do you dare to eat this stuff?"

Zhou Shui swallowed and spit.He knew in his heart that even if it was a poisonous snake, its meat was not poisonous.And the gods cook, eating is only good.However, Zhou Shui had never eaten this kind of thing, so it was a bit stressful to think about it.

The old man smiled: "Don't worry, boy, this thing can be repaired. Look at your complexion, which is red and yellow, what's the matter, you're married, isn't your little wife handsome?"

Zhou Shui understood immediately, blushed, and said nothing.

The old lady scolded the old man: "Why are you like this with a child? Why don't you respect the old...Xiao Zhou, don't listen to him, it's okay, you have a good face... That little girl, I sneaked a look at it yesterday, Is it rigorous? The little girl is really handsome, and she has a good fortune...What are you doing Liu Xiahui? That's stupid. Now I'm interested in this..."

This old lady dare not understand human speaking skills, she wanted to cover Zhou Shui, but instead, Zhou Shui wanted to find a crack in the ground to drill down.

After the old man cleaned up the snake, he stewed it with wild pepper and wild vegetables.The old lady stewed another pot of rice, but she didn't know what kind of rice she used. The rice was clear yellow, and the rice grains were as big as sesame seeds.The old man asked Zhou Shui while the meal was cooked: "Last night's edict was well written, and I have converted to the holy religion. If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell... It seems that I have read the book a lot, and my writing skills are not bad. Putting this aside, with these two strokes, you can eat for a lifetime."

The old man was smiling and talking while stealing a glance at Zhou Shui.

Hearing the praise from the gods, Zhou Shui was also a little proud, and hurriedly said humbly: "I dare not... so-so, so-so..."

Unexpectedly, the old man's words changed suddenly. He stared at him, stood up and said loudly: "You dare. Why don't you dare? Otherwise, God doesn't know what to do. You just said this." Understood. If you still convert to the holy religion, God doesn’t know that you are a student of Buddha and Bodhisattva. You threaten God with this? If I don’t go to hell, who will go to hell? Is it a show of determination or a cruel heart?”

Seeing the old man's serious face, Zhou Shui was dumbfounded, and said in his heart, "I didn't mean that either..."

The old lady interrupted the old man: "You can't speak well? Look, you scared the kid." Zhou Shui is indeed in a cold sweat now.The old lady took a towel and helped Zhou Shui wipe off the sweat with her own hands.Seeing the kindness on the old lady's face, Zhou Shui felt a little more at ease.It's no wonder that Zhou Shui was nervous, as the old saying goes: Tianwei Tiancen.Zhou Shui also felt that he was a bit reckless in this matter.

The old lady took out a piece of paper from her pocket and spread it on the table.Zhou Shui saw that it was the letter he had written.Pointing to the words on the paper, the old lady said: "Look, there is this sentence. How do young children know that it is covered by it? My child, you are questioning God? Son of heaven and earth, this is true, but have you thought about it? If the children and grandchildren explain this set of principles to the ancestors, what do you make the ancestors think? The officials in the sky are all shrewd."

Zhou Shui's sweat couldn't stop dripping down.

Seeing that Zhou Shui was extremely nervous, the old man took the conversation, but changed his tone: "We have intercepted this document. If you send it up, we are talking about business matters now. Before you hand it over, you can do it privately." Deal with it. That’s fine, you take this paper back, tear it up, tear it up, or put it into pieces, it’s up to you, but it must not be set on fire. Do you understand?”

Zhou Shui put away the paper.

The old man said again: "It's business. I know who you are, but you don't know who I am. I have to introduce myself."

At this time, the smell of stewed snake meat in the pot rose, and Zhou Shui became more and more hungry.The old lady watched Zhou Shui swallowing and spitting.She interrupted the old man and said: "Okay, you two should chat while eating. God doesn't make you hungry. This kid hasn't hit his teeth all day, right?"

The old man took a clay basin from the dish rack and put a pot of stew in it.At this time, Zhou Shui took another careful look at the cave. To be honest, the conditions were really not good.Not only is it not good, but it can even be described as hard—the utensils are basically made by hand.There are not many bedding, but there are quilts, but they are probably made of wild hemp, not to mention rough, and still retain the original color.At first glance, I feel that there is still a thousand miles away from the word "comfortable".This is especially true for the tables and chairs, which seem to have been chopped out with an ax without even using a saw.The earthen pot in the old man's hand was made of mud, as if it had been put into a fire, but Zhou Shui just felt that he might be able to eat a mouthful of mud foam in a while.

This is not right, when people describe your life as nourishing, they will say that you are living a fairy life.Is this how the gods live?Zhou Shui tentatively asked: "Old man, it seems that you are living a bit tight..."
