ninety thousand miles

Chapter 386 Envy
After hearing what Li Chuan said, Wu Kong said nothing more. After just saying a few more words, Wu Kong found that Li Chuan suddenly became silent. Looking carefully, he actually fell asleep.

Wu Kong had no choice but to move Li Chuan back into the house and find a quilt to cover him.

When Li Chuan woke up the next day, he stared blankly at the beams of the room for a long time. It wasn't until he got out of bed and walked out of the door that he remembered why he was here.

There was a lot of dust in the house. Li Chuan rubbed his nose and walked to the courtyard. He found water in the water tank. He scooped some water with a ladle and took a few sips. Then he found a broom and rag and wiped the house roughly. Cleaned once. After doing this, he felt a little sweaty and hungry.

When he was about to go out to find something to eat, Wu Kong walked into the house from the front carrying a basket. When he saw Li Chuan, he said, "Are you awake?" Then he threw a cake wrapped in oil paper to Li Chuan. : "I bought it on the way, thinking it was time for you to wake up."

"Well, I just woke up." Li Chuan caught the oil paper bag, took a bite of the sesame seed cake, and said, "Is it from that store at the intersection?"

"Yes, it's the one you often go to," Wukong said, putting the basket aside and saying, "I dug some wild vegetables and brought them back to Brother Tong later."

"Okay." Li Chuan finished the sesame cakes in two bites, clapped his hands and said, "Let's go. I don't know if Brother Tong is still home. He always leaves early and comes back late."

"It's definitely there." Wu Kong was very sure.

"What's wrong?" Li Chuan asked.

Tong Luo smiled, a little shy, and said, "I didn't expect it either. I originally wanted to wait until Er Niang gave birth and write a letter to the capital, asking you to name the baby. If I can make it in time, I can come back and have a full moon drink."

"Come into the house and talk." Tong Luo said.

"It's okay." Zhuo Erniang said with a smile, "The doctor told me that I should walk more every day."

When Zhuo Erniang was about to salute him, he quickly said: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." He looked around hurriedly and said, "Quickly find a chair. Hey, you go back to the room to rest quickly and don't come out."

"Oh, that's it. Then..."

Soon, Li Chuan heard footsteps, and then saw a strong man walking out. When Tong Luo saw Li Chuan, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and said, "Benefactor? Are you back? When did you come back?" Before Li Chuan could answer, he turned around and shouted, "Er Niang, hurry up Come out, the benefactor is back."

Then he ran back into the house, and after a while, he came out again, supporting Zhuo Er Niang.

When Li Chuan saw Zhuo Erniang's appearance, he finally understood why he had no time to reply and said that Tong Luo had been at home recently.

"You'll know when you go there." Wu Kong let it slip.

The three of them sat down in the room, and after Zhuo Erniang returned to the inner room, Li Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Tong Luo and said, with eyes full of admiration, "Brother, you are awesome!"

The door to where Tong Luo lived was open. Li Chuan looked inside and saw no one. After Wu Kong knocked on the door a few times, he called out: "Brother Tong, come out quickly and see who is coming."

"Okay, help my sister-in-law first," Li Chuan said.

He was very envious and said: "If I had come back a few months later, you would have become a father."

Li Chuan looked at his expression and thought it was not a bad thing, so he did not continue to ask. The two picked the wild vegetables and grapes, divided them into two portions, and then walked towards Tong Luo's residence.

Zhuo Erniang was much fatter than the last time we met, holding her belly with both hands.

So Li Chuan asked: "How long will it take for the production to begin?"

Tong Luo said: "It is estimated that there will be two months."

Li Chuan counted the days and said, "I might be at the Sishen Palace at that time, or I might have left for somewhere else. Then I'll ask Daoist Wen if I can come back." Tong Luo was very happy to hear this. , said: "I'll wait for you to come back."

Li Chuan said: "Don't wait. As for the name, I will look through the book later and think of a few good ones. You can pick one then."

So Tong Luo became even more happy. After knowing that they were going to Blacksmith Cen, they said they wanted to go together.

Li Chuan was a little worried that Zhuo Erniang was alone at home. Tong Luo explained: "It's okay. I go out to do work during the day, but I go out later. Regardless of whether I can catch prey or not, I will definitely be back before sunset. And the surrounding area The neighbors are all familiar. They often come to Erniang to do needlework together, and Mrs. Liu and Miss Pan also often come to help. "

"That's good." Li Chuan said.

After that, Tong Luo greeted Zhuo Erniang, went to get a dried deer leg, and then set off with Li Chuan Wukong.

They rode over in a carriage, and soon arrived at Blacksmith Cen's blacksmith shop. Blacksmith Cen was also very surprised when he saw Li Chuan and said, "Why are you back at this time?"

He tasted a grape and said: "This grape has only been planted for a year. It will definitely not taste good. Generally, it will not bear fruit in the first year. Even if it does, it will be small and sour. You can try it when you come back next year." , maybe it will be sweeter.”

Li Chuan said stubbornly: "It's not sweet, but I think it's quite delicious. It's better than what I had in the capital."

Blacksmith Cen didn't believe what he said at all, and said, "You work as an errand in Qintian Prison, and all the grapes sent to you are carefully selected. How could they not be as delicious as this one?"

"This one in my house is different." Li Chuan said.

Blacksmith Cen didn't argue with him anymore. He picked up the dried deer legs that Tong Luo brought, lit a fire, washed the pot, and stewed the deer legs.

Li Chuan Tong Luo Wukong found a place to sit down by himself. After chatting for a while, Wu Kong went to the cupboard to find a few bowls. He found hot water by familiar means and made tea and brought it over.

After Li Chuan took a sip of tea, he asked Wu Kong: "Did you see Jiang Bai again later?"

"Brother Jiang? I haven't seen him before. What happened to him?" Wu Kong asked.

"He is missing." Li Chuan said, "His twin brother, Jiang Song, could always feel him before, but suddenly he couldn't feel him a while ago. Using Taoist reasoning, the result is that there is no such person as Jiang Song in this world. "

"How is this possible?" Tong Luo said.

Li Chuan said: "That's it. Now that Jiang Song has returned to Qingzong to ask for help, Qin Tianjian is also using secular power to trace his traces..."

"What's wrong, brother Jiang?" Blacksmith Cen walked over.

So Li Chuan said it again.

Blacksmith Cen said: "After he left that time, I really didn't see him again, but..."

"What?" Li Chuan asked.

"Your sister-in-law Zhu, when she came back last time, she said that there was a wealthy businessman who paid a lot of money to recruit talented people and strangers to go to Yuanjiao Forest to kill a python demon to avenge his son. Among the people who went, it seems that there was Brother Jiang. ”

"When did it happen?" Li Chuan asked immediately.

Blacksmith Cen thought for a while and said, "About four or five months ago."
