Chapter 16 Meeting Chen Jintu
Author: Longqian Harbor
When I came to the town, I happened to see people giving out porridge and rice in the open space of the town. There was a long queue. These people were all wearing rags, and most of them were old people who were unable to work independently.
I walked through the crowd and was about to go up to ask, but the servant on the side yelled angrily: "Where are you, you stinky blind man? Don't you see everyone is queuing up? Go, go, go, line up at the back."
As the servant said, he came over and pulled my clothes, dragging me back.
Then a voice came from the table: "Stop."
I looked around for the source of the sound, and when I looked carefully, I saw a hat moving inside the table, and someone walked out while it was moving.
I guessed that he might be Chen Jintu, but since he was less than one meter, he was clearly a dwarf, not as tall as a table; you couldn't tell if you didn't look carefully.
He has a more handsome face, but he is so short... Well, I really don't understand why anyone would fall in love with him.
As soon as Chen Jintu came out, the servant immediately behaved himself and explained: "Grandpa, this blind man jumped in the queue, and I was chasing her away!"
"Nonsense! It's just rude." Chen Jintu, despite his short height, had a loud voice. He yelled angrily, making the servant tremble all over.
"You can do anything to treat a woman like this. Didn't you see that she is a disabled person? What's wrong with jumping in line? Are you afraid that it's not enough for so many meters? Go ahead and let's go."
The servant stood aside obediently, while Chen Jintu leaned over and asked kindly: "Girl, were you okay just now?"
I shook my head and said, "It's okay."
"Here, where's your bowl? I'll dig rice for you." Chen Jintu looked left and right, but didn't see the bowl in my hand, so he said again: "Oh! This girl must be so miserable!"
There’s not even a bowl, come on, just take this half bag!”
When I heard this, I was stunned in place and thought to myself: "This Chen Jintu really regards me as a beggar, and you are the one begging for food! Your whole family needs to eat."
"Girl, girl!" Seeing me dazed on the spot, Chen Jintu called me twice, and then I came back to my senses.
"Ah? What's wrong?"
Chen Jintu held half a bag of rice in his hand and pushed it towards me.
I pinched my waist with both hands and said angrily: "Do you think I'm dressed like a beggar? Ah!"
Chen Jintu looked at me carefully, and then muttered: "Just because you can't see it doesn't mean that others can't see it! Dirty, broken, poor, nothing, everything will be fine. Don't worry!"
Then Chen Jintu shouted in the crowd: "As long as I, Chen Jintu, live, I guarantee that everyone will not starve! You all can rest assured!"
When everyone heard what he said, they knelt down and kowtowed to express their gratitude!
"Thank you Mr. Chen Dashan!"
"Oh! You are truly a living Bodhisattva!"
"Yes! Without you, we would have probably starved to death."
…
Chen Jintu hurriedly called on the servants to help lift up the person kneeling on the ground, and said: "It's nothing. We are all fellow villagers. When everyone is in trouble, if I encounter any difficulties in the future, I have to rely on you all."
!”
After hearing his words, the villagers supported him one after another.
But I kept thinking about those three words he said: "Dirty, broken, poor?"
After listening to his words, I couldn't help but look at my clothes. It turned out that there were a few holes in my pants and the clothes on my body were already very dirty. No wonder everyone was looking at me when I came in just now.
I was embarrassed and at a loss. I was about to reach out to take the rice from Chen Jintu's hand, but I was stopped by two people.
When I looked back, it turned out to be Motoko and Gouzi. I was very confused. Didn't I delete part of Motoko's memory? Could it be that I really remembered the spell wrong?
"Why are you two here?"
Chen Jintu saw them as if they didn't know each other and asked, "They are with you, so give you a little more!"
After saying that, he waved his hand back, and the servant behind him handed over another half bag of rice.
This made me even more confused and asked, "Don't you know me?"
Chen Jintu opened his eyes wide with confusion on his face.
When both parties were embarrassed, Gouzi greeted Yuanzi and took me away. Before leaving, he didn't forget to come back and take the two bags of rice.
When they pulled me into an alley, I broke away from their restraints and asked: "What the hell is going on? Why do I feel that Chen Jintu doesn't know you, but you say you grew up with him?"
What is going on here? Tell me quickly."
Gouzi looked at me anxiously and quickly explained: "We did grow up together, and we deceived you at one point."
I widened my eyes (of course, I was wearing sunglasses so they couldn't see it) and said with anger, "What's the matter? Tell me honestly!"
At first, you pushed me and I pushed him, and no one could say anything. When I slowly raised my hand to take off my sunglasses, Gouzi said: "It's just that he changed his eyes."
I frowned slightly, feeling slightly confused: "Eye-changing? What happened to the eye-changing?"
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Gouzi said: "He also had dog eyes, but he couldn't see ghosts, so he asked the Taoist priest who gave him the eyes to teach him how to see ghosts.
Who knows what sorcery the Taoist priest used to attract a scorpion as big as a cow. That scorpion was different from others. Its whole body was pink and it was very beautiful.
The Taoist priest told Chen Jintu to feed the pink scorpion with the blood of ten women. After a year, a bead will be produced in the pink scorpion's body. As long as the bead in the pink scorpion's belly is replaced, his eyes can be opened.
Saw a ghost."
The more I listened, the more I felt something was wrong, so I asked, "What is your relationship with Chen Jintu? Why do you know so many of his secrets? And why does he want to harm you?"
The two looked at each other, and at this moment they decided not to hide anything anymore, and then said: "In the beginning, we were just his accomplices. He was responsible for finding women, in the name of getting married, but in fact they were used to feed Pink Scorpions.
He lied that he died innocently and that the bodies of his wives were all taken care of with the help of us.
We often walk by the river and have shoes that don’t get wet. One day we heard that the pink scorpion not only had spiritual beads in its body, but also could live forever after using it. The three of us discussed it and decided that Chen Jintu couldn’t swallow all the good things, so
We decided to give him a break.
Who would have expected that this kid would pretend to agree, but then tamper with the food afterwards."
"Taoist!" These two words flashed through my mind, and then I asked: "Have you ever seen that Taoist priest?"
Both Yuanzi shook their heads and claimed that they had never seen a Taoist priest.
It seems that this matter is not as simple as imagined, and Gouzi's next words made me sit on pins and needles: "It will be a full year the day after tomorrow, and now Chen Jintu is still one person short!"
