The Fool of the Gods

Cheng Shi was happy when he saw the brand new banknotes on the table.

"Old man, where did you get the money?"

Lao Jia scratched his feet and said disdainfully: "What? You look down on your father? I saved this money. I have been stingy all my life and saved this little money for you to go to school. Put it away and buy tickets."

He looked tough and didn't seem to be lying.

But Cheng Shi knew that this was not his money, because there was a fragrance on the money, the fragrance of Aunt Sun's house next door.

However, Cheng Shi didn't say anything, just took the money and nodded.

Then, Cheng Shi took Lao Jia to his own university. After sending Cheng Shi to the school gate, Lao Jia left, and Cheng Shi began his wonderful university life alone.

Perhaps university life is indeed wonderful for Cheng Shi, at least 10,000 times more wonderful than life in the urban village, but for the Dream Peeping Ranger, this university life filled with the endless male hormones is extremely boring.

Although the night in the Sighing Forest was just halfway through, and there was still plenty of time to watch this dream affected by [Memory], Jiang Wumei couldn't stand this boredom, so he decided to change his perspective.

From observing Cheng Shi to observing his father who looked quite interesting.

But the protagonist of this dream was Cheng Shi. Following Cheng Shi's perspective did not require the Dream Peeping Ranger to pay any price, because this was originally a gift from his benefactor to the Dream Peeping Ranger, but if he wanted to switch to another "channel", he would have to pay something.

For example, taking risks.

When using his talent to explore deeper dreams, Jiang Wumei could no longer be like a ghost and not be discovered by the dreamer. He must have an entity to move freely and witness other memories that Cheng Shi had never seen.

However, the entity would be discovered. Once the owner of the dream was awakened and the other party was aware of his existence, how the "creator" of this dream world would deal with him would be the biggest risk he would face.

Normally, after seeing enough fun, he would not choose to take risks, but he was too curious today. He always felt that Cheng Shi's father was not as honest as he seemed.

So after "accompanying" Cheng Shi for a semester, Jiang Wumei decisively chose to give up Cheng Shi's perspective, activated his talent, and turned himself into a passer-by in this dream.

He traced his memory back to the past, back to the time when little Cheng Shi was not adopted.

There, outside the door of the orphanage, he saw little Cheng Shi running on the playground through the fence of the outer wall, but he also saw a person, a person for whom he activated his talent to trace back.

Lao Jia.

At this moment, the father who had been reserved all his life was standing at the corner of the outer wall, looking out his head and staring at little Cheng Shi inside the wall happily.

Jiang Wumei's interest finally came back. He pretended to be a passerby and passed by Lao Jia. Then he heard Lao Jia constantly exclaiming:

"What a good seedling, what a good seedling, you must not grow crooked, alas, it would be great if it were my son, but unfortunately, I have lost all the virtues of my ancestors, and I don't have this blessing."

Jiang Wumei raised his eyebrows and his eyes lit up.

Sure enough, this old man is very problematic.

He began to follow this man.

It is too easy for a ranger blessed by [Memory] to follow an old man before the advent of the faith game without leaving a trace.

He soon discovered that Lao Jia was very interested in the little Cheng Shi in the orphanage. He passed by the orphanage more than once when he was doing odd jobs. Every time he saw little Cheng Shi, he would be happy for a long time, but he knew that he was not qualified to adopt this so-called good seedling.

Until one day, when he was chatting with people on the street, he heard that the director of the orphanage wanted to find someone to send a naughty child away from the orphanage. He asked which old bachelor had no children. As long as he gave money, this matter could be done.

Lao Jia had sneered at this, but when he heard that the child was called Xiao Shi, he immediately became anxious.

"Damn it, such a good child was ruined by these damned people."

He hurried home, took out a stack of money from under the black and shiny quilt, and ran to the orphanage in a hurry. Just before another old bachelor talked to the director, he intercepted Xiao Chengshi.

The old bachelor brought 2,000 yuan, and was unwilling to be intercepted, saying that he would give another 500. Lao Jia gritted his teeth and gave 3,000.

This was all his savings, really, there was not a penny more.

Then Xiao Chengshi was photographed and became Lao Jia's son.

As for the 3,000 yuan given by Lao Jia, the dean stuffed it into the cleavage of the hostess that night.

No one knows who is happier, the dean or the hostess, but at least Lao Jia is happy.

He took Xiao Chengshi home with a smile on his face, wearing the same shirt and trousers as the ones next door.He borrowed it from a woman named Sun, and when he returned it, she looked at him with disdain and didn't want it back.

But Jiang Wumei saw that the suit was not thrown away, but given to him by the rich woman named Sun.

On the first day back home, Xiao Chengshi pretended to sleep, and Lao Jia didn't expose him. He walked out of the door by himself, but didn't walk far. He squatted on the curb at the door and smoked.

The rich woman named Sun next door stood behind him and asked him: "Why do you suddenly want a son?"

He smacked his lips and said: "This is a good seed, like me."

Then he put out the cigarette.

"I can't smoke after having a son. This is the last one. Alas, I have to save money for the child to go to school."

The woman named Sun looked at him blankly for a long time, and laughed: "I have advised you to quit smoking all my life, but in the end it's better to bring back a child."

Jiang Wumei only then realized that the two people knew each other and had always known each other.

But when he watched this dream from Cheng Shi's perspective, he never found it. Even as sharp as he was, he never saw the flaw in any eye contact.

What are the origins of these two people?

Lao Jia curled his lips, ignored her, and searched his pockets, taking out a few coins from his pockets.

"Lend me 50, I'll pay you back tomorrow."

"What for?"

"Buy some meat for the children."

"..." The woman surnamed Sun sneered, glared at Lao Jia fiercely, and left angrily, leaving 100 yuan.

Lao Jia picked up the money, walked slowly to the entrance of the village in the city, and then squatted down again.

He glanced at the clock in the supermarket from time to time, as if he was counting time.

Jiang Wumei was very confused, what was the timing for?

But he soon understood that just when Cheng Shi was about to walk to the village head and was about to leave the village in the city, Lao Jia walked into the supermarket one step ahead and bought the ham.

Then, every word he said to the clerk reached Little Chengshi's ears.

Little Chengshi turned around after hearing it. Laojia looked at him at the entrance of the village, and happily followed him back, saying as he walked:

"He has some brains, but he is a little immature."

Jiang Wumei stood at the entrance of the village pretending to be a passerby. When Laojia passed by him, he trembled nervously and almost tore the newspaper with his hand holding it.

Hiss——

This seems to be a master.

Should I be more careful?

He was a cautious person. From that day on, he began to use the power of [Memory] to track Laojia.

It's funny to say that a ranger began to use the blessing of [Gods] to deal with an ordinary person.

Then there was the time when Chengshi used the bottle cap to deceive people. Jiang Wumei followed Laojia for a few days before he found out that the bottle cap in front of the door was actually thrown there by Laojia.

He seemed to have seen that Cheng Shi liked to drink Coke, so in order to teach Cheng Shi a lesson and stop him from lying, he threw a bottle cap at the door in advance, and also polished the broom handle to make it smoother so that it would be easier to hit.

As expected, little Cheng Shi fell into the trap and was beaten hard.

The next day, Lao Jia left home early and took a stroll in the park. He won 50 yuan playing chess with an old man in the park, and then took the 50 yuan to the supermarket to carry a box of Coke, bought two bottles of ice water and a meal, and went home slowly.

When he arrived at the door of his house, he drank two bottles of ice water in advance, and sprinkled some water on himself to pretend that he was sweating. As soon as he entered the door, he comforted little Cheng Shi, and then his stomach began to growl.

After running out with his hands on his stomach under the dull gaze of little Cheng Shi, he turned around and went to the park to play chess again.

Jiang Wumei was stunned by this operation, while Cheng Shi, who knew nothing about it, was still at home eating and dropping pearls.
