Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 226 Gambling
"Master, aren't you curious at all about why the monster knows you?"

Sensing Shen Yi's loneliness, Shen Fuyu skipped to Shen Yi's side and looked at him curiously.

"Not curious."

Shen Yi answered seriously.

Over the years, Shen Yi has never thought about exploring his past memories, let alone being curious about who he was in the past.

For Shen Yi, living in the present is the most important thing.

Want nothing.

Shen Fuyu looked at Shen Yi with eyes full of admiration, without any worldly desires.

Soon, the banquet was prepared, and tables of sumptuous food were placed on the table. The village chief, Zhao Shounong, and Shen Fuyu sat at one table.

The villagers also took the initiative to sit down at the table, and there were forty tables set up next to the big tree at the end of the village.

The moon also lost its blood color and became bright and flawless.

With the help of moonlight, Shen Fuyu could see the dishes clearly.

There is everything from chicken, duck, fish, and stir-fried vegetables.

It is obvious that every villager took out all their savings and did not hide anything.

Dahe Village escaped the crisis and the villagers survived, which is something worth celebrating for them.

After nearly forty days of fear, the villagers felt panicky and vulnerable, and decided to prepare a sumptuous feast, not only to express their gratitude, but more importantly to wash away the bad luck and ensure that Dahe Village would have good weather in the future and would not suffer any crisis again.

The village chief even dug out five large jars of daughter's red wine buried under the peach tree, and placed some on each table.

"Everyone, let me say a few words first."

The village chief picked up the wine glass, his eyes red, and his tone was full of joy of surviving the disaster.

The villagers put down their chopsticks, looked at the village chief in unison, and listened carefully to his speech.

"A strange phenomenon struck Dahe Village, and many villagers died. Strange things happened one after another. At first, I also thought that Dahe Village had suffered a punishment from heaven. I had begun to give up on myself and waited for death at home."

"We can't buy food, and we can't leave Dahe Village. These days are really frightening."

"Fortunately, the suffering was only temporary. Fortunately, we didn't give up and were able to hold on until reinforcements arrived."

"My benefactor, this glass of wine is a toast to you. I'll drink it and you can do as you please."

The village chief was in tears, and every word he said came from the heart. As a village chief, he had to remain calm at all times. In fact, the village chief was also an ordinary person. He could handle family matters with ease, and he had no way to deal with the monster village chief.

With no one to turn to for help, the only way to ensure that Dahe Village does not fall into chaos is to try to appease the villagers.

During this period, the village chief's hair has turned a lot whiter, and he looks a little older.

When the village chief was on the verge of despair, it was Zhao Shounong who brought hope.

The village chief was just trying to drain the river, believing the result wouldn't be any worse.

Good luck!

He did not reject Zhao Shounong's proposal.

The village chief was very emotional and had a lot to say but nowhere to express it. Sensing the village chief's excitement, Shen Yi stood up and took a sip of wine.

"Everyone, relax a little. Don't worry about me or pay too much attention to me."

Shen Yi was not used to this kind of occasion, and it was rare for him to be willing to sit down and eat together.

Shen Fuyu also explained, "Master doesn't like his achievements to be mentioned repeatedly. I believe everyone will remember them. As long as you know how to be grateful, that's enough."

"Okay, Mr. Shen, we won't bother you anymore."

The village chief had already burst into tears, and it was Zhao Shounong who answered first. The villagers knew that Shen Yi did not like crowded places, so they knew what to do and did not disturb him.

The meal lasted until late at night. After confirming that the river surface had not changed and the moon had not changed color, everyone's anxiety finally relaxed and they cried with joy. The danger was finally over.

……

Earth house.

Zhao Shounong's face was flushed and he reeked of alcohol, and his frown relaxed.

Shen Fuyu's mother supported Zhao Shounong, followed by a group of little kids.

The little rascals were very well-behaved and followed behind quietly, without anyone making any unreasonable demands.

Shen Fuyu and the Shen sisters boiled water to wash up. After working for a long day, they could finally rest. The sound of even breathing could be heard in the room.

That night, Dahe Village was extremely quiet.

The villagers in the whole village slept until noon before getting up.

The ordinary life has no ups and downs, but it makes them feel at peace.

Only when you lose something do you know how to cherish it.

"Dad, we have to go back."

After spending several days in Dahe Village, it was time for Shen Fuyu to leave.

"Dad, if you have any problems in the future, you can send me a message by carrier pigeon. Also, we have enough money at home, so send all my brothers and sisters to school. Of course, if they are not interested in studying, just let them learn a few words."

Shen Fuyu gave a few instructions before getting on the carriage.

The Shen sisters lifted the curtain and said goodbye to Zhao Shounong's family. When the villagers heard the news, they also ran over spontaneously and said goodbye to Shen Fuyu and his group.

He thought silently in his heart that since he could not repay his benefactor, Shen Fuyu, as his benefactor's apprentice, should treat Zhao Shounong's family well. If Zhao Shounong's family needed any help in the future, the villagers would certainly do their best to help.

Shen Fuyu knew nothing about this until the carriage gradually left. Shen Fuyu's mind gradually became dazed, and it all seemed like a dream.

"It's so fast. It feels like we haven't been in Dahe Village for long and we are leaving. Shen Fuyu, we will come to Dahe Village again when we have time."

Although Shen Mengwu has a bad temper and has climbed trees and walls since childhood, she has never lived in the countryside. Once she experienced the joy of fishing and picking bird eggs in the river, she became reluctant to leave.

Shen Fuyu came back to his senses and poked Shen Mengwu's forehead with his slender fingers.

"Second Miss Shen, don't forget that you're about to take the entrance exam. Do you understand all the definitions?"

Shen Mengwu pouted and became depressed. Thinking of the exam in a month, her mood gradually became heavy. For Shen Mengwu, the exam was equivalent to the first of the ten tortures.

……

Shen House.

Looking at the magnificent house, the Shen sisters couldn't wait to run in.

Shen Fuyu smiled and followed the two young ladies back to report.

Unexpectedly, just as they reached the door, Mrs. Shen's angry voice came into their ears. Shen Fuyu and the Shen sisters looked at each other and paused slightly.

"Shen Yingfeng, you are so bold that you dared to get involved in gambling. Now you are in debt and people are chasing you to your house. You are shameless, but this lady still needs you!"

Mrs. Shen pointed at Shen Yingfeng with trembling fingers, her chest heaving violently. She was obviously very angry with Shen Yingfeng. Thinking of Shen Yingfeng's past offensive behavior, Mrs. Shen didn't want to clean up Shen Yingfeng's mess at all, let alone help him resolve the crisis.

"Shen Yingfeng, I don't care what methods or means you use, in short, you have to pay off your gambling debts yourself. This lady will definitely not pay a penny!"

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, please help me. I really know I was wrong. I promise, I promise I will never set foot in a casino again."
