Become a god in the world of Cthulhu

Chapter 171
When Ye Feng returned to his grandmother, the table was full of people, and only one seat next to his grandmother was left for her.

Grandma Hua didn't ask anything, she just opened the chair a little so that the little girl could sit down.

Ye Feng likes this kind of banquet very much. He can eat a little of every dish, and he feels very satisfied.The only thing that made her feel a little regretful was that there was no fried pork with mushrooms in this banquet!

The banquet lasted for nearly two hours before it was truly over. The guests dispersed, and Village Chief Tao's house gradually became quiet.

Village head Tao and his wife sat in front of the bed, taking stock of the family's belongings. Now that Shu'er has passed the Juren exam, she will naturally continue to take the exam.When a child travels far away to study alone, the parents are always worried, and they need to bring him some money.

Village head Tao recalled what county head Tan told him during the day, "Your son is full of talent, both ability and political integrity. If you continue your studies, you will definitely be able to make great achievements!"

"Duohong Confucianism in the capital is a good place to study!" These were the last words that County Magistrate Tan said before leaving.

Village Chief Tao hesitated, the capital city is still too far away!

In the end, it was Tao Shu who expressed his opinion, "Father, children are not afraid of distance, and they should not be afraid of hardships and difficulties in studying. The sharp edge of the sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. Parents, please rest assured and wait for the child to come back!" Tao Shu thought. , Returning home, this is probably the dream of every scholar, and he wants to make this dream come true.

Village head Tao didn't understand what swords and plum blossoms were, but he respected his son's wishes and let him go if he wanted to.It's a good thing that his son is so outstanding, so he should think about making a career for himself!Village head Tao told himself so in his heart.

"Little Tao Shu, you can go, you must work hard!" Ye Feng thought for a long time, but he was really not very good at saying goodbye, so he said this for a long time.

She knew that little Tao Shu was leaving, and no one would play with her in the future. Thinking of this, Ye Feng felt a little sour in his heart.But little Tao Shu is going to study further. Although she doesn't understand the meaning of this word very well, she knows that it is a good thing.

"Okay! You have to be good!" Little Tao Shu stretched out his hand for the first time, rubbed the top of her hair, waved his hand, and left Bixi Village with his book bag on his back.

The weather gradually became cooler, but it was almost the beginning of winter, and Ye Feng's birthday came.

"What birthday gift does Ye Feng want this year?" Grandma Hua asked her a month in advance.

"I want a big table!" Ye Feng blinked and replied quickly.

"Okay! I see!" Grandma Hua sighed softly. The little girl's birthday present every year requires a big table of food. I don't know, I thought she was always hungry and wouldn't give her food.But there was none at all. Ye Feng obviously had three meals a day, and he never missed a single meal, and every meal was extraordinarily sweet.

On the day of Ye Feng's birthday, Grandma Hua really cooked a big table of dishes as she said, a table full of six dishes in total, taking the auspicious meaning of Liuliu Dashun.

"Bazhen Chicken, Sweet and Sour Fish, Roasted Duck with Bamboo Shoots, Vegetable Emerald Roll, Meatball Soup, and... Stir-Fried Pork with Mushrooms!" Ye Feng stood in front of the table, counting the dishes on the table.

"Wonderful!" Ye Feng looked at the table full of dishes, his eyes sparkled, and he suddenly clapped his hands and laughed.

Grandma Hua heard the movement in the kitchen and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm just saying, grandma's table dishes are really well matched, meat and vegetables are well matched, and there is meatball soup to warm up, and also my favorite fried pork with mushrooms!" Ye Feng walked to the door with a smile, talking And talk.

Hearing the praise, Grandma Hua's brows widened, she was very pleased, and said with a smile, "You little girl is poor!"

"I'll call the two little guys over!" Ye Feng ran towards the door.

"Come back soon, don't wait for the food to get cold!" Grandma Hua urged in the yard.

"Got it!" Ye Feng shouted from afar.

"Aqing, Ake, eat more!" During the meal, Ye Feng said with a smile while holding a piece of duck for each of the two little guys.

The little guys said obediently and cleverly in unison, "Thank you, Brother Ye Feng!"

Ye Feng looked at the little guy's cute and obedient appearance, smiled and rolled his eyes, and said repeatedly, "No thank you, no thank you, don't be polite to Brother Ye Feng!"

The two little guys are two children from the neighbor's house. Ake is the elder brother, five years old, and Aqing is the younger sister, three years old this year. Both little guys are very good.I always like to chase after Ye Feng and ask, brother Ye Feng, what are you doing?At this time, Ye Feng would answer them with a smile, and then take them to play together.

"Happy birthday to Brother Ye Feng!" After the meal, Xiao Ahqing took out a bracelet woven with red string from her bosom, on which was hung a crystal clear amber pendant, which was in the shape of a plump and round drop.

Ye Feng took it over and touched the small pendant carefully. It felt like jade but not jade. After pondering for a while, Ye Feng's eyes lit up, "This is the herring stone!"

"Brother Ye Feng is really smart!" Ah Qing said with a smile.

"This is the herring caught by my father. My brother dried and polished it, and I made the rope. By the way, brother Ye Feng, I heard that this can exorcise evil spirits!" Ah Qing introduced in a rambling manner.

Ye Feng rubbed Ah Qing's little face lovingly, looked carefully at the bracelet in his hand, and said with a smile, "It's so beautiful! Thank you! Brother Ye Feng likes this gift very much."

A Qing and A Ke blushed happily, "It's great if Brother Ye Feng likes it!"

At night, Ye Feng took out the bracelet from his arms, tied it on his left wrist, and fell asleep peacefully.

"Ajin, is your grandma Hua at home?" Ye Feng was watering the mushrooms in the yard when he heard a voice from above his head, Ye Feng looked up, "Brother Changhong!"

"Are you there???????????????????????????"

"A Jin!" The young man called Brother Changhong smiled softly, with a pair of faint dimples on his cheeks, which looked a little cute.

"Grandmother has gone out, but if there is something wrong, it's the same as telling me." Ye Feng replied.

"Oh! This is the money from the last time I went to the market to help Grandma Hua sell handkerchiefs. Remember to give it to Grandma Hua!" Changhong smiled, and took out a half-worn handkerchief wrapped with money from his pocket.
"Excuse!" Song Xiao glanced at him and said in disbelief.

"No matter what, I really broke my promise!" Tao Shu bent down and picked up a stone from the ground, made a gesture of swearing, looked up at Song Xiao and said, "If Sijin still has complaints, otherwise, you Hit me once, this time I promise I will never say it. Really! This time, even... even if my dad comes out with a whip thicker than this tree, I will never say it again!"

While Tao Shu was talking seriously, he pointed to the willow tree where Ye Feng was sitting, which was as thick as a person's arms.

"Brother Ah Xiao!" Ye Feng corrected.

"Don't! I'm not short-sighted. The last time was enough!" Song Xiao leisurely took off a willow leaf and threw it down. Watching it stumble to the ground, she replied coolly.

"However, I'm not such a stingy person. For the time being, I'll forgive you!" In fact, she had already forgotten about it. It was mentioned from time to time, and she probably couldn't remember it now.

"Then thank you Sijin Kuanhong!" Tao Shu smiled and rolled up his sleeves, and expressed his thanks in a decent manner.

Song Xiao pouted, and corrected again tirelessly, "There are no rules, call me Brother Ah Xiao!"

Tao Shu blinked, smiled and replied, "Okay, Ah Xiao!"

"Hey! I'm three years older than you, and I've been taking care of you like an older sister all these years, so why can't I call you a big brother! What a heartless person!" Song Xiao looked at Tao Shu and said angrily.

Tao Shu tilted his head and looked at her, as if he was recalling something, and slightly elongated his voice, "Take care of her like a elder sister... Huh? Why didn't I know about it!"

Song Xiao looked at him in disbelief, "How could you not know this!"

Song Xiao broke his fingers and counted them carefully, "When I go into the water and catch fish, I will often give you one, and I will give you one if I fold a beautiful flower. Even my favorite mushrooms grown by my grandmother, I will give you one." I give it to you to eat from time to time, and I will give you a few roasted sweet potatoes in winter, don’t you remember these things?”

"That's right! I don't know who it is, I don't know where I went to play, and I came home late, so I was afraid of being nagged by Grandma Song, so I just said that I insisted on pulling you to play and refused to let you go home. Grandma Song called you the next day. I went to my house and told my mother that in order to help someone, I had to acquiesce that it was my fault, but I was reprimanded in the middle of the night!"

"And a few days ago, in order to chase a yellow butterfly, someone stepped on the half-acre rapeseed field of Aunt Wang's house without even looking at the road under his feet. You yourself were in a hurry to chase the butterfly. I see you I was walking the wrong way, so I didn’t follow inside, and while calling you to come back, I was standing outside the vegetable garden, but Aunt Wang happened to see me, and I stood there and endured a long time of scolding for you!”

"Also, uh..." Before Tao Shu could continue, his mouth was covered by a pair of white and soft hands.Tao Shu was stunned, and his ears were slightly red.

Song Xiao smiled shyly and looked at Tao Shu's wide-eyed Tao Shu, "Okay, okay! Don't be so stingy to turn over the old score. If you don't want to yell, just don't yell!"

Tao Shu's mouth was covered, and he wanted to struggle to escape, but the girl was so strong that he couldn't break free at all, which made him feel even more ashamed and annoyed.

"Let go of me!" Tao Shu shouted vaguely with his mouth covered.

Song Xiao thought for a while, "Then you have to promise me that you will stop talking about this!"

Tao Shu couldn't speak, so he blinked vigorously to express his agreement.

Seeing this, Song Xiao let go of his hand in relief.

Someone in the distance shouted "Ah Xiao!"

Song Xiao glanced into the distance, and said to Tao Shu, "My grandmother told me to go back, little Tao Shu, I won't play with you today!"

After speaking, the girl ran home.

Tao Shu stood there in a daze, running so fast!In a blink of an eye, the person disappeared again.He seems to never be able to keep up with Song Xiao's rhythm. Ordinary people will at least bring their companions along the way when they go home, or say goodbye to each other before leaving separately. There are very few people like her who made a hasty confession without waiting for others to react. It's gone.

Tao Shu shook his head amusedly, what was he thinking!Isn't Song Xiao like this all the time, she acts with pure motives, doesn't hold back her own thoughts, and does whatever she wants.She is obviously a 15-year-old girl, but she is still as innocent and stubborn as a child, making it difficult for people to really get angry with her.

"Girl! Why are you running in such a hurry!" Song Xiao looked at the little girl's face that had become extremely rosy due to strenuous exercise with a smile, took out a handkerchief from her arms, and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Full of pity.

Song Xiao replied solemnly, "Grandmother asked me to call me. If I come back earlier, grandma can naturally worry less!"

Grandma Song said with a smile, "Little girl is really amazing, she is more and more able to please grandma!" There was no trace of blame in her tone, only pampering that could be easily seen at a glance.

"Grandma, shouldn't it be time to eat fried pork with mushrooms for dinner?" Ye Feng asked with a bright smile.

"Don't worry, grandma will never forget your fried pork with mushrooms!" Grandma Song sighed helplessly.

The same dish, one meal a day, after eating these years, the little girl did not feel bored in the slightest, but it was very similar to her mother's love for taro cakes, which has not changed for decades.

Grandma Song was cleaning the mushrooms. The mushrooms had just been picked from the garden. The blossoms were plump and firm, fluffy and soft, with a slight smell of the soil in the garden.Grandma Hua first roughly cleaned it, then tore the large pieces of oyster mushrooms into small pieces, and then gently scrubbed them in clean water.

Looking up, she inadvertently saw the little girl who was sitting on a small bench in the yard weaving a wreath outside the window. Grandma Song looked into her carefree eyes, and for some reason, suddenly remembered what the Taoist priest who wandered here once said: Zi is gifted and intelligent, with a delicate mind. If he is well cultivated, he will be of great use in the future.But now, the three souls and seven souls lack one main soul. If the main soul does not return for a long time, her mind will not be able to grow. Although she will always be as pure as a child, she will not be able to show her talent and live a mediocre life.

At that time, she was lucky enough to scold the Taoist priest, her silky child was obviously just playful, and it would be fine when she grew up, but he made it up to be a mess.

However, as Xiao'er grew up, it seemed that she was gradually confirming the words of the Taoist priest back then, her mind was clear, and her talent was not obvious.

She took out the poems and songs and recited them to her. Obviously she was watching, the little girl sat quietly for a whole morning and memorized, but she couldn't even recite a short poem with only twenty characters. She took out her mother's legacy I gave her the martial arts cheats that I gave her, and she learned it for a full month, but she didn't learn a single move.

It's just not obvious!
Grandma Song sighed melancholy, looked away, drained the water in the basin and started cooking.
