Chapter 299 Joke
Smoke curls from the kitchen, peaceful and quiet.

There is not much difference in the small village of Shilibao as usual. If I really want to say the most obvious difference, perhaps it is the mentality.

Some children are still very naughty, while others seem to have become adults overnight.

Xiao Shuanzi was bored and sat on the big stone pier, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, with no intention of joining the game.

After all, he has really seen the "gods" come down to earth, and what he experienced last night is enough to recollect for a lifetime. Looking at these plays now is so childish. Even though they were originally just plays, in the eyes of Xiao Shuanzi before This kind of playing house is quite sacred.

The most puzzling thing is, last night when the Martial God Dharma was about to disappear, did he smile at himself?

I want to ask my third uncle, he hasn’t woken up yet.

"Sigh, I don't know when Zhao Zilong will come to earth again. I'm a fellow countryman who probably loves beef noodles."

Xiao Shuanzi was thinking very seriously about whether to treat the gods to beef noodles or donkey meat on fire. In his opinion, even if Lao Zhao became a god, he was still a fellow villager, and he had to arrange local delicacies to be authentic.

"Hey! Little liar, I heard you ran away last night, right?"

Moreover, those dead fish eyes were more or less like those of his third uncle, with a laziness and a bit of disdain.

"Hand over your cloak if you don't want to play! Don't delay our play!" The King of Kids screamed angrily and loudly, but the adults nearby didn't take it seriously. They thought that children were just children, and they could only have small fights. , little do they know that bullying in early childhood has an extremely serious impact on life.

Just like Master said, everything is destiny. No matter what the original purpose is, Sanyuan needs to resolve this cause and effect.

Now?

He also used his own way to fulfill the promises he made and fulfill a child's purest dream, even if the price required was beyond imagination.

What should I do? I really want to know
"Business? What business can you have? You're not trying to lie to us again, are you?"

"Take it yourself. By the way, can you stay away from me? Don't disturb me from thinking about serious things."

As for children, what they yearn for most is maturity. In comparison, the King of Children is really just the King of Children. He is too petty when talking and doing things. Just talking about his eyes, he is completely blown away.

Zhao Sanyuan was not worried at all, "If you don't play, you won't play. What's the point of playing with a bunch of bad chess players? Even if you don't play, my great nephew is far ahead of other children of the same age."

"Not interested in."

Maybe this is the most important thing
"Stop laughing, how will he play with other children in the future? We can't play together at all." Lao Kang was worried that Xiao Shuanzi would mature too quickly and lose his innocence and happiness.

Although the King of Children likes to play role-playing more than anyone else, in fact, he doesn’t believe in any gods at all. He only uses this game to consolidate his position as the boss, so he is very convinced that Xiao Shuanzi is lying. Where did the gods come from in this world? ? Even if there is, it is not the turn of children from poor families to see it.

Kids King emphasizes the word 'we' very strongly and consciously creates distinct camps to emphasize distinction.

Grab a little banging.

The abnormal behavior made the children in the village completely dumbfounded. They wondered why the most stubborn little Shuanzi suddenly changed his gender? In the past, if he had been asked to be Zhao Zilong, he would have laughed out of his big nose.

If there was no fate, maybe Xiao Shuanzi's childhood would have been unsatisfactory. Because he was in a single-parent family, he was always bullied and ostracized. Until he grew up, he hid the wounds that could not be healed deep in his heart and pretended that nothing had happened.

It's completely different from now, with an expression that says I can't stand you.

So Xiao Shuanzi is lucky, Zhao Sanyuan makes his already strong heart even stronger.

Just a few days ago, under the old locust tree, Xiao Shuanzi had a fight with the King of Children over his role and cloak. In the end, he was scolded and scolded but could not be beaten, and he could only wipe his tears alone in grievance.

So insidious!
Fortunately, I saw through your trick!
"What? Are you lost? Or do you already know that your third uncle is a big liar, and you also admit that you are a little liar?"

The King of Kids is a liar, and he obviously wants to verbally fulfill this title. When a lie is told a thousand times, it will become a consensus. For example, the Spanish flu ten years ago had nothing to do with Spain at all. This does not affect Later generations talked about this catastrophe that killed hundreds of millions of lives as the Spanish Flu.

???

There is a bit of melancholy and a hint of melancholy in this kid's indifferent eyes, which is completely inconsistent with the junior category.

After thinking about it, Kid Wang firmly believed that Xiao Shuanzi was trying to attract attention.

This scene happened to be fully visible to Zhao Sanyuan and Lao Kang. The former laughed heartily and even said that his nephew did a great job.

"You didn't explain clearly last time! How can you prove that you are not lying? How can you prove that your third uncle is Zhao Zilong's friend? If you have the ability, let him come down to earth!"

Otherwise it makes no sense!

It's a pity that Xiao Shuanzi is not only back, but also behaves even more unpredictable and completely unsociable. You know, it's his turn to be Zhao Zilong today.

The two sides are obviously not in the same dimension.

The Kid King's waist-stretching look was still so domineering. Just because Xiao Shuanzi once showed the possibility of replacing him, he tried every means to suppress him. If possible, he wanted Xiao Shuanzi to never come back.

"Hey! Are you going to play or not?" Kid King asked loudly. He wanted to take the initiative to the area he was best at.

Then at the most dangerous moment last night, how did Xiao Shuanzi break the situation as a variable that no one expected? With the purest power of piety, he helped the God of War and Dharma to defeat the Western evil god. Who doesn't care about this child?
Then again, when faced with a crisis at a young age, he did not cry or make a fuss, but actually made a lot of achievements. He looked younger at the age of three and looked older at the age of seven. This child will be good in the future.

But looking at Sanyuan smiling like a silly son of a landlord, Lao Kang understood that he was happy from the bottom of his heart.

He responded with an understatement. Xiao Shuanzi didn't even look at the child king, and his tone was like a perfunctory dog ​​that took the initiative to show off attentiveness.

So in other words, he must know something more fun!

"Oh."

What can you do to me if I don't get into your winning position?
I have seen a wider world!
"Alas" Lao Kang sighed. Brother Liu told him what he gave Zhao Sanyuan last night, so it was not difficult to guess his choice.

This sentence made the child king jump in anger, and even shocked the other children, because anyone could see that the word "childish" was written on Xiao Shuanzi's expression. He obviously looked down upon this tradition of the Shilibao Children's Group. Game over.

The more this happened, the other children were impressed, and they all guessed what Xiao Shuanzi must have experienced last night, otherwise the change would not be so big.

As long as he plays the game, he has a hundred ways to keep Xiao Shuanzi from getting off stage.

Seeing that things were about to go bad again, the child king suddenly became anxious. How could he know that Xiao Shuanzi's state of mind had completely transformed? All he knew was that if he didn't do something, the situation might be irreversible, because before there was a third uncle who could pop popcorn, and today there was an uncle Liu who took the villagers to dig for the gifts from the 'fairies'. Both of them were similar to Xiao Shuanzi. There are relationships.

"Really?" Xiao Shuanzi stretched and said calmly: "Then how do you prove that you are your father's child?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense! I must be born to my father!"

"Oh, then my third uncle must be Zhao Zilong's brother."

"How do you prove it?"

"How can you prove it?" "Everyone in the village knows!"

"According to what you said, the whole village also knows that Third Uncle and the others are friends of the gods. Otherwise, why would they all go digging for food? I heard that your father is very happy. He even praises the Third Uncle, Uncle Liu and the others as immortals alive, and still wants to provide food. As for the longevity ranking, if you kowtow a few more times, maybe I will ask my third uncle to bless you a little more."

It can be called a critical hit.

Xiao Shuanzi seems to be arrogating, but the examples he can cite are quite clear and representative. The adults in the village praise him, even your own father praises him. What qualifications do you, a brat, have to be so stubborn?
The more the other children listened, the more reasonable they became. Although they are not very smart, they are not stupid either. The truth here is so simple that anyone can understand it.

Indeed, Xiao Shuanzi did not provide any proof, but the adults in the village all praised him as an immortal, so there must be nothing wrong with him.

The atmosphere became more subtle, and many children began to distance themselves from the King of Kids, vaguely feeling that things were about to change in the Shilibao Junior Group.

Before Kid King could recover from the decline, Xiao Shuanzi directly appeared in the show to interrupt.

"Why should I prove to you? Are you popping popcorn for everyone? Or are you adding food to everyone's rice vat? Just stop playing with yourself and don't always think about bullying others."

"Besides, I'll prove to you that you don't understand."

"Will I tell you that Zhao Zilong's plain robe and silver armor are interspersed with red rope and leather belts?"

"Will I tell you that the wings on Zhao Zilong's spear are as long as those of a gallop?"

"Will I tell you that Zhao Zilong can crush a monster dragon's head with one kick?"

"Will I tell you that Zhao Zilong will still smile at me after the fight?"

"Will I tell you that Zhao Zilong's teeth are white, bright and neat?"

"Don't worry, I won't tell you anything, because the third uncle said that bad boys can't see gods coming to earth. The third uncle also said that Zhao Zilong will only save honest and kind good children. Which one do you think you are?"

Lore!

As soon as this passage came out, the effect was particularly significant.

The King of Kids was all numb, because if there were only one or two descriptions, it would be easy to refute it, but Xiao Shuanzi's description was too detailed, from top to bottom, from inside to outside, even if it was made up, it would be impossible to organize a refutation for a while. In other words, because the original appearance and color of the clay statues in the ancient temple have long been lost, it is impossible to say so specifically based on the shadow puppet shows and New Year paintings that I have seen, just like Xiao Shuanzi has really seen Zhao Zilong with his own eyes.

The summary is just one sentence, I know, but I won’t tell you, believe it or not.

Xiao Shuanzi's ability to have this kind of mentality comes from his unwavering belief and self-confidence. In his opinion, what is true is true and does not need the approval of others at all. Is it true that if a fool does not admit it, it is not true? ?
"Hey? Third uncle, you're awake!"

Seeing the man he respected the most besides his father, Xiao Shuanzi's brows were filled with joy. He still looked like the little adult just now, so he rushed into his third uncle's arms and nuzzled him.

"Take it easy, I don't even have the energy to fart right now."

"Third uncle, when will you let Zhao Zilong come down to earth again? I have thought about it. I will eat donkey meat on fire in the morning, beef pancakes at noon, and pan noodles in the evening. Add more chili and oil."

Zhao Sanyuan and Lao Kang looked at each other and laughed dumbly.

What kind of family eats hard food every meal?
Don’t know how expensive donkey meat is?
But when I thought about it again, I felt a little uncomfortable.

Because he hadn’t told his children about leaving Shilibao tomorrow, Xiao Shuanzi didn’t know that the only time they had to spend together was this night, and he didn’t know when they would see each other again in the future.

While Xiao Shuanzi was acting coquettishly, the children followed him quietly, watching from a short distance.

Now they don't say they believe it completely, at least they believe that 'Uncle San' is not an ordinary person.

"Shuan, Shuanzi, can you tell us more about what you just said?" The children elected the village beauty of the early childhood group as their representative. The little girl is really pretty.

Girls are extremely destructive to any age group, and the same goes for little Shuanzi. Which leader in the Shilibao juvenile group doesn't want to marry her? She is also the granddaughter of the village elder.

Zhao Sanyuan patted Xiao Shuanzi's head and said, "Go ahead, it's your time to have some fun."

"Third uncle, can I tell them what happened last night?"

"No problem. No one will believe them if they tell others. Remember to come back for dinner."

"Ok!"

After seeing little Shuanzi running out, those naughty children were extremely happy, but after a while, Xiaocunhua was very confused, "Why are you crying, Shuanzi?"

"No, I was just blinded by the sand. Let's go under the old locust tree. What do you want to hear?"

"We are all curious about whether Third Uncle is very powerful?"

"Of course he is awesome! In my heart, he is as awesome as Zhao Zilong!"

Xiao Shuanzi will never forget that radiant figure and the appearance of the God of War rising from the ground until his death. Just like he said, his third uncle is like a god.

In fact, he already knew that his third uncle would leave tomorrow morning. He didn't want to waste a minute, but he didn't want his third uncle to worry, so he shed tears unknowingly.

Under the old locust tree.

The naughty children sat on the floor and each brought fruits and melons from home to listen to the story. Before anything else could be said, Xiao Shuanzi's story about how his third uncle's palms burst into flames attracted bursts of exclamation.

But soon, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the previous generation of kid king pretending to be passing by under the wall. Anyone who saw it would know how much this guy wanted to join.

There is no repaying kindness with evil, and there is no adding insult to injury.

Xiao Shuanzi chose to ignore it, acting more and more like his third uncle.

In the small courtyard of the Ou family, Ou Huang almost knelt down after watching the blind Mo Wenshan's unique skill of flipping the spoon without even spilling a drop of soup.

"What's wrong, Brother Ou? Why are you so blind?"

"Hey~ I'm not too good at it, old man. Let's put on the clothes first and take a look. I just patched it up. I'm really not bragging. No one in Shilibao can compare with me in needlework."

Zhao Sanyuan was amazed and felt much more at ease after putting on his flowered pudding coat. "By the way, Brother Ou, I thought it would be safer to give the treasure in your wing to the old Zhang family. I will arrange a matchmaking and deliver a letter when the time comes. You don't have to worry." Both property and goods are lost, and those treasures should be in a better destination in the hands of the old Zhang family. It won't be a big problem in ten or eight years. Anyway, if you donate them, they will end up in their hands. It is better to just exchange them for money."

"Then what should I do now that I have money? Do I want to buy a house in the city?" Ou Huang actually likes picking up rags and collecting scraps. If getting rich suddenly makes him lose his fun, he always feels a loss.

Obviously, he has no idea about getting rich suddenly.

"Don't." Zhao Sanyuan immediately gave up the idea, "Although the tree is moved, the dead will be moved alive, but your situation is special. If you really want to leave Shilibao, you may not be able to maintain your luck. If you have money, just save it. , how should life be lived? If you want to work, go out and do it. If you don’t want to work, you can still have enough savings to survive. When Xiao Shuanzi grows up, I will give him a good wife and start a family with children and grandchildren. How beautiful it is. Just be normal and don't indulge in food, drink, prostitution and gambling."
