Chapter 204
The next morning, when Zhou Shui and Yan Jing woke up, breakfast had already been placed on the kitchen table.At this time, Ruyu hadn't gotten up yet, and Zhou had already finished washing.Elder Zhou seemed to sleep well last night, and his mood improved a lot.Seeing Zhou Shuihe getting serious, Mr. Zhou smiled and said nothing.

He looked at Zhou Shui rigorously, and then took a sneak peek at Mr. Zhou, feeling a little "guilty of being a thief", and his face was still red.

Earlier, the landlord Lao Motou bought it.There are white steamed buns, white rice porridge, and pickles.Ruyu, like Rigorous, hardly wears makeup.After washing up, he just daubed something on his face, and then yelled at people to eat.

Old Motou also came over, and the five of them ate breakfast at a table.While eating, Zhou Shui pretended to ask intentionally or unintentionally: "I woke up last night, it seems that the lights are still on in the main room?"

To Zhou Shui's surprise, Old Motou actually answered the sentence: "When the guest arrives, you have to report to the higher authorities." After finishing speaking, he winked and added another sentence: "That's right. You can tell a person just by looking at them, and you can’t go wrong.”

What do you mean?Zhou Shui was at a loss.At this time, Mr. Zhou suddenly interjected a sentence, which was even more confusing: "Before, I never thought that there would be such a section. Well, this is home."

Rigorous and Ruyu are the same as Zhou Shui.Look at Elder Zhou with a puzzled look on his face.

After the meal was over, the two girls cleared away the dishes.Old Mo didn't intend to leave, so he lit a cigarette and chatted with Zhou Lao.Mr. Zhou was also surprised, and asked some irrelevant questions, such as: how is the folk customs here, how is the year, and has the weather been good in recent years?Old Mo answered carefully, and Old Zhou listened carefully.

Zhou Lao didn't move, Zhou Shui really didn't know what to do next.It stands to reason that one should bring rigor to worship at the Earth Temple, where the grandfather sees his granddaughter-in-law, and also his son and grandson.Elder Zhou didn't seem to have this plan, Zhou Shui interjected a few times to hint, but Elder Zhou didn't answer.With Lao Mo's head around, Zhou Shui couldn't ask questions directly, so he sat down for a while, seeing that Zhou Lao was very interested in chatting, so he simply came out and went for a walk outside.

The courtyard door was only half open, and the other half was ajar.From Zhoushui station to the entrance of the courtyard, there is a small supermarket not far to the left, and there is a breakfast stall at the entrance of the supermarket.No one eats breakfast, and few people come in and out of the supermarket.The owner of the early stall was sitting sleepily at the back of the stall, but his eyes kept looking at Zhou Shui's body, the kind of peeking out from under his eye sockets.

There was soy milk on the stand, and Zhou Shui sat at the propped table and said, "Here is a bowl of soy milk." Zhou Shui had just finished eating, and he didn't want to drink this bowl of soy milk, but wanted to chat with the boss.

The boss came back to his senses, his hands and feet were quite nimble, he scooped the starch, added sugar and brought it to Zhou Shui.He also asked by the way: "Do you want fried dough sticks?"

Zhou Shui hesitated for a while, and said, "Take two."

The fritters were served on a plate, Zhou Shui was not in a hurry to eat, and he really couldn't eat it anymore.When the boss turned around, Zhou Shui asked casually, "You're also a foreigner, right?"

The boss turned around and came back: "How did you see that?"

"Guess."

The boss smiled: "Wrong guess. A native born and bred local."

In fact, Zhou Shui didn't know that he was a local, and he could tell by his accent, speaking SX dialect.Zhou Shui asked this to make trouble so that he could talk.

"Really? I missed it." Zhou Shui took a sip of soy milk, and said again in surprise: "Brother, your milk is really authentic, isn't it made from our local soybeans? The milk in the city No, they all use American soybeans, the pulp is high, but the taste is far worse."

The boss is more than 30 years old, and he is also the kind of person who has nothing to say.Hearing Zhou Shui's boast, he became interested: "Yo, I can't tell, my buddy is also an expert, what, come together?"

Zhou Shui smiled, but said in his heart: "You're a fart, you're just drunk."

The boss turned around and sat opposite Zhou Shui: "What's your surname?"

"My surname is Zhou."

The boss answered in a loud voice: "There is a destiny, there is a destiny, my surname is Ji. Let's see if there is a destiny?"

Zhou Shui tried his best but couldn't think of the fate of Zhou and Ji.Seeing that Zhou Shui was confused, Boss Ji explained: "This week, the word Zhou has gone out of the border, isn't it auspicious?"

Zhou Shui almost spit out the soy milk in a mouthful.After coughing twice, he suppressed a smile and said, "Hearing what you said, it's true."

"Really. Don't think it's not a big deal, this is also called fate. You came here yesterday, right? Four of you. How are you? Are you still used to living here?"

It's just arrived, so I don't feel used to it so quickly.Zhou Shui asked back: "What do you mean? I didn't quite understand."

Boss Ji said: "Didn't you rent the old Motou's room? Last night... didn't you have anything? That... did you sleep well?"

The boss seems to have something to say.Zhou Shui pushed the soybean milk bowl away, and whispered deliberately: "Since our two brothers have such a great fate, then I have to talk to you. I have to say, I really didn't sleep well last night. In the middle of the night... I heard... ...Forget it, forget it, don’t say it, you won’t believe it.” Zhou Shui deliberately added a sense of mystery to his words, and let Boss Ji say the rest.

Sure enough, Boss Ji smiled strangely: "Is it possible that I don't know? That old Motou, who doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, burns incense and lights a fire, and sits on the ground muttering to himself."

That's not what Zhou Shui wanted to know.He glanced at Boss Ji and deliberately showed some disdain: "It's been a long time, and you don't know."

Boss Ji raised his voice: "Why don't I know? I haven't finished yet. Also, does it mean that his son and daughter-in-law work in BJ and send him money on a monthly basis? What's the matter? It's dead." The son and daughter-in-law got bird flu and died in other places. The old Motou took his grandson back, but he was infected. He was sent to the hospital and entered the intensive care unit. At that time, the old Motou prayed to God to burn incense When it came to a dose of medicine, I had to use it to my death. The doctor made a joke of him, saying that he was crazy. Later, he couldn’t screw him up, so he used it. Hey, he got better.”

Zhou Shui listened, his heart moved, and he felt something faintly.

Boss Ji added: "Later, Old Mo asked the village committee for this homestead desperately. Old Motou is really crazy. This house is built. There is no family temple or temple. He also said to everyone that his son and daughter-in-law work in BJ. Who would believe it. Fortunately, the tenant did not stay for a month. , Scared and scared away."

Zhou Shui asked: "What's wrong with the homestead? There's nothing wrong with Feng Shui either."

Boss Ji approached Zhou Shui and whispered, "This place used to be a temple. It was demolished when it was broken down. The temple is not big, just a nunnery. However, according to the old people, the incense was still quite prosperous back then."

Indeed, houses cannot be built on temple sites.Old Mo wants this piece of land desperately, probably because of other reasons.

Zhou Shui took a hundred-yuan note to pay for breakfast, packed two fried dough sticks, and walked back.

In the dining room, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Mo were still chatting.What surprised Zhou Shui was that Zhou Laohua was very kind to Old Motou in his mouth. This kindness has exceeded the etiquette that landlords and tenants should have.Elder Zhou seemed to be in a much better mood, at least unlike the [-]-hour drive on the way here, Elder Zhou didn't speak more than five sentences.

Seeing Zhou Shui coming in, Mr. Zhou stood up and said, "It's the first time in Taiyuan, let's go shopping first?"

Zhou Shui looked suspicious, and whispered: "We have to go to Jinci Temple first, Shan... Grandpa said that Grandpa is serving at Jinci Temple."

Elder Zhou said, "Go to Jinci Temple? Don't worry, let's go shopping first, it will be cold soon, have you brought enough clothes?"

It was only when I got here that I thought of asking about the clothes. Zhou Shui was a little bit dumbfounded, but he didn't want to offend the old man, so he had to say, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Shout out to Shang Jing and Ru Yu, and drive out.Zhou Shui has never been to Taiyuan, but he knows that there is an SX antique city in Taiyuan, which is located on the most prosperous road in Taiyuan.Since it is a bustling road section, it will definitely satisfy the desire to go shopping on the street, and at the same time satisfy Zhoushui's idea of ​​visiting the antique market.Zhou Shui vaguely remembered that the address was No. [-], Big Blacksmith Lane, and carefully searched it with the car navigation. Sure enough, there was such a place, and it was a downtown area.

It was still early when the car arrived, and there is a common problem among antique dealers all over the world-craving for night.Greedy night naturally has to get up late, it is estimated that the antique shop is not open yet.Yan Jing parked the car in the parking lot of the antique city, and the gate of the antique city was still closed.After the four of them discussed, they split into two groups, Yan Jing and Ru Yu went to the shopping mall, Zhou Lao and Zhou Shui found a teahouse, drank tea, and waited for the antique city to open.

Elder Zhou ordered a pot of jasmine flowers, and the two found a seat by the window to sit down and drink tea while chatting.

After Mr. Zhou drank some water, he said to Zhou Shui, "Didn't you find anything strange?"

Zhou Shui asked Mr. Zhou: "Which aspect do you mean?"

"Old Motou, and his family."

Zhou Shui was also about to tell Mr. Zhou about this, so he told his father what Boss Ji said about selling breakfast.After finishing speaking, Zhou Shui added a few more words: "I don't think there is any danger, but this old Mo's chattering, exuding a vigor, it may be evil, but it may not be true. Anyway, it makes people uncomfortable. By the way, in front of Lao Mo this morning, what did you mean by that sentence? You said at the time: Even if you are home. But that’s right, our ancestral home is Taiyuan.”

Mr. Zhou didn't answer, he asked Zhou Shui instead: "Have you noticed? There is a god's amulet enshrined in the main room of Lao Mo's main house."

Zhou Shui nodded: "When I went to the toilet last night, I caught a glimpse of old Motou sitting under the God's Lord card and talking to himself, but I didn't hear what he said clearly."

Elder Zhou put his head close to Zhou Shui, and said in a low voice, "Our family is enshrined on this god's card..."

Zhou Shui was taken aback: "Dad, why am I getting more and more confused the more I listen, my family? Who is it?"

Elder Zhou said softly again: "Old Motou showed me the god's card. The god's master is "Fude Zhengshen".

"Mr. Fude? Who is Mr. Fude, and which god?" In Zhou Shui's memory, this was the first time he had heard of Mr. Fude as a god.

Elder Zhou smiled and said, "This Fude Zhengshen is an official taboo, and the folks are called Tudigong."
