Chapter 289: Yan Ling, You Are Alright(1/2)
A little, Mrs. Si said softly:
"There were indeed five Taoist priests and nuns who came down the mountain, including two little girls they picked up."
She said no more.
Si Chen understood immediately!
The five Taoist priests and nuns were fused into one person by grandma, and the story was told to them when they were children.
Therefore, the half-fairy in grandma's story is very powerful.
Not only is he proficient in Qimen Dunjia, but he can also change between men and women at will.
He can even become a child.
Now that I think about it, the so-called transformed children are probably the Huang Goddess and Kang Goddess who were still girls back then.
The five Taoist priests and nuns "emerged" early. It is very likely that Huang Shenpo and Kang Shenpo failed to pass on their true skills.
Therefore, I rely on some fake tricks to make ends meet.
"Grandma, since Aunt Huang is in our village, why is Aunt Kang in Kangjia Village in Hexi District?"
Mrs. Si said helplessly: "These two girls are two sisters, both surnamed Huang."
"The one named Kang now is my sister. She is three years older. She left on her own back then."
"The smaller one stays in our village. I take care of it from time to time."
"I also discovered Huang Da Niu a few days ago. Didn't she perform a great dance for others? She also had to set up an altar for three days."
"I gave her some money and asked her to find you."
Si Chen:......-_-||
You are truly my grandma!
No wonder! Goddess Kang knows so clearly about the situation of their family of four!
"Grandma, if you asked her to talk to me, do you know that I want to buy some street shops?"
Si Chen raised his eyebrows and winked, laughing.
Mrs. Si laughed and said:
"I really can't stand the 'haunted' battle, it's so disturbing!"
"That guy is far worse than the 'haunted' battle we used to scare the Japanese!"
"It's all like this, but the young men of the public family still can't catch the 'ghosts'!"
"This happens every day, making the neighbors uneasy."
"Me, even though I'm old, I can still catch him."
"But look at how cold it is in the winter, how cold it is at night? I'm afraid I'll freeze!"
"I'm not allowed to trick you into 'ghost hunting'?"
Si Chen:......-_-||
What is the weird reason for this!
Mrs. Si sighed with emotion: "I originally thought that if you went and caught the 'ghost', you would solve the problem and take over eight more shops. Everyone would be happy."
"Oh, yes, you will also give Huang Da Niu some money."
"I never expected that not only did you not give me any money, you also scared Danniu Huang away!"
"You said, if you want to buy a shop, just buy a shop. You bought half a street at once."
"You are so greedy! You are a good proletarian, you have sharpened your head and joined the asset-sucking team, you, you!"
Seeing that grandma's temper was developing out of control, Si Chen hurriedly treated his grandson and comforted her:
"Grandma, grandma, I will send money to Mother Kang tomorrow! A big red envelope! I will seal a big red envelope! Definitely!"
There is no way, kissing grandma can't be what my daughter calls "unfilial father"!
…
The next day, Si Chen made another trip to Kangjia Village.
In Aunt Kang's small courtyard, someone was again treating the child's "disease".
This time, Aunt Kang held up a big black umbrella and muttered:
"I've found the lost soul of your baby for you!"
With that said, it is a simple operation.
Si Chen sighed helplessly and put a thick envelope into the bag he had prepared in advance.
Smoothly, he put the bag in the middle of the courtyard door.
After a while, Aunt Kang sent the mother and son away with a smile.
When they walked to the entrance of the courtyard, the three of them discovered the black bag lying on the ground.
The little boy ran two steps quickly and picked it up. His mother quickly beat and scolded him:
"I don't have a long memory. I pick up things on the road and put them down!"
Goddess Kang took it and said, "Give it to me and I'll handle it."
After sending the mother and son away, Mother Kang opened the bag. The smile on her face disappeared inch by inch, and mist gathered in her eyes.
There was a heavy envelope inside, with several large characters on it:
Reward Huang Da Niu.
…
At night, the children all went to bed.
Mrs. Si took out her thick photo album, opened it, and flipped through the pages.
All black and white photos are from that time and are extremely precious.
In the photos one after another, the people in them are from all walks of life and do all kinds of things.
Pig butchers, dung pickers, jugglers, opera singers...
Taoist priests, Taoist nuns, monks, kiln sisters...
In that war-torn and suffering era, everyone united together in order to live a stable life.
Behind each of these photos, there is a line of beautiful small words:
Photographer Yan Ling
Mrs. Si flipped through the album to the end and pulled out a two-inch photo from the two photos.
In the black and white photo, a lady from a wealthy family is smiling.
She was wearing a very fashionable women's suit.
Mrs. Si's fingers touched the photo over and over again, murmuring:
"Yan Ling, after half a lifetime apart, how are you doing on Treasure Island?"
…
Si Chen was attending a dinner party with Yan Lixia.
After three drinks, someone at the dinner table heard Yan Lixia’s last name and casually said a compliment:
"Your surname is Yan? Hey! What a coincidence, our great warlord in Zhongzhou back then was named Yan."
"Prince Yan, Prince Yan, my ancestors were nobles!"
"Si Chen, your wife is also a queen of a noble family, right?"
In earlier years, this kind of joke would never have been made.
Nowadays, it is not too taboo.
Si Chen also took advantage of the situation and said with a smile:
"By Mr. Wang's auspicious words, my family's Li Xia ancestor may be a noble, huh?"
A group of people laughed.
Bragging and gossiping, and complimenting each other in business, no one will take it seriously.
As a result, everyone changed the topic to discuss the great warlord of Zhongzhou back then.
"You said that Prince Yan was so heroic that the president of that year had to give him face."
"Who would have thought that in 1949, the whole family would be forced to fly to the treasure island?"
"Hey, I heard that a group of Prince Yan's children have all gone to the United States."
"How dare he let his children go to the treasure island? Why don't they be like him? The rabbit will die and the dog will be cooked!"
