Chapter 254: Going out to worship God

After being sent fifteen miles outside the city, Chen Dan returned, Deng Jianye and his sons and nephews of Shen stopped moving forward; they had to return to Lutai to stay in mourning for three years, and Tao was a little depressed, but they did not regret killing Chen Muke. They walked more than thirty miles forward, and it was already noon.

After a simple lunch on the roadside, Tao gathered his son and daughter-in-law and said, "Baimi, Baiyu, you two will take people with the Zhou family and the young man to find Jiuer. Qingyin and Su Xin, you two will take good care of your children, don't worry about other things."

"Brother Zhou, have we seen him before?" Shen Bomi asked when he saw Zhou Jiahe a little familiar.

"I've seen it." Zhou Jiahe smiled straightforwardly.

He admitted to seeing him calmly, but Shen Baimi remembered that he had never seen him, and smiled embarrassedly, and could not continue the conversation. When he set off on the road, the two men in the first carriage were men pretending to be Shen Baimi and Shen Baiyu. Tao was sitting in the second carriage, Yuan Qingyin and Yan Suxin were sitting in the third carriage with three children, Dong Qixiu and two daughters, Chen Dannian, and Chen Dannian were sitting in the fourth carriage. Chen Dannian's right hand was broken, and his muscles were damaged for a hundred days, and now he was hanging around his neck with a splint.

Chen Muke died, and Dong Qixiu, who had lost her backer, was in tears. She never expected that a natural disaster would cause Chen Muke, who was in his early forties, to leave like this. What made her even more upset was that the lifelong affairs of her two daughters had not yet been settled, and the person who decided the fate of her and her two daughters was Tao. Dong Qixiu was completely at ease, and she was in good manner with Baoqin and others every day to serve Tao.

Tao had no intention of paying attention to Dong Qixiu. One reason was that Chen Danxia was still far away in Kui County and she had not really confirmed that her daughter was safe and sound. The other was that the bad guy who kidnapped Chen Danxia had not been caught yet, which also meant that her daughter was not really safe, which made her very worried.

The team that sent the spirits far away, the Shen Bomi brothers came out of the hiding place and waited for a quarter of an hour. Ten men wearing strong clothes rode horses over, turned over and dismounted in front of them, bowed and said, "Uncle, second master."

"No need to be too polite." Shen Bomi raised his hand and helped him.

It is important to find someone, and without much nonsense, everyone got on the horse and, under the leadership of Zhou Jiahe, changed the road and headed south; in the evening, he entered the city to invest in the bank, and Shen Bomi found Zhou Jiahe, "Can Brother Zhou tell me where to take my brother?"

"In the south, the place where my sister lives for the time being." Zhou Jiahe smiled.

"Where is my sister currently living? Has she escaped from danger?" Shen Baimi asked anxiously.

"My sister Ling has escaped danger and is now in an old friend. Lingtang asked the younger one to take the two masters there to pick up My sister Ling back to Beijing." Zhou Jiahe smiled.

"What you said is true?" Shen Bomi asked in a deep voice.

"There is no false words." Zhou family and Zhengyan said.

Shen Bo secretly stared at Zhou Jiahe, and Zhou Jiahe faced his scrutiny. After a long time, Shen Bo secretly said: "I am willing to believe you."

After dawn the next day, the group continued to set off. Five days later, Shen Bomi met Xu Lang who had returned without success, "brother-in-law."

"Brother." Xu Lang looked at Shen Bomi in plain clothes and frowned slightly. His father-in-law died and Shen Bomi was not guarding the mourning hall. Why did he come here?

Shen Bomi was not in a hurry to go to the boat, took Xu Lang back to the inn, and called Zhou Jiahe. After telling the matter, Xu Lang, who had no success in finding someone, finally knew his wife's whereabouts. He was overjoyed and naturally wanted to pick up Chen Danxia in person. The two groups of people formed a group and hired the boat to go south in the afternoon.

When Xu Lang and others rushed to Kui County, Chen Danxia had completed the translation of the drawings and handed them over to Cheng Jue, "Brother Cheng, I can't do anything next."

"Thank you for your hard work, have a good rest. Let me do what I will do." Cheng Jue packed the drawings and found the craftsman who cast the cannons.

In order to build the cannons before the Japanese pirates attacked, Cheng Jue became even busier and forgot to eat and sleep. When Tian saw this, he sighed.

"Sister-in-law Li, what happened? Tell me, maybe I can help you." Chen Danxia put the chess record in his hand and asked.

"The second master is devoted to official business and is not concerned about his own affairs at all. The third master has been engaged, but the second master has not made any noise. The wife is almost crazy." Tian sighed.

"The fate has not come, and once the fate has come, Brother Cheng will get married without you urging you." Chen Danxia said with a smile.

Tian said frowningly: "But fate is invisible and intangible. When will it arrive?"

Chen Danxia couldn't answer this question, she was not the Moonie and the Matchmaker who were in charge of marriage.

Tian took the insole and took a few more needles. Suddenly, he remembered what the servants said, "There is a Goddess Temple in the county. I heard that it is very effective and I will respond to all my requests. The third young lady has been to Kui County for many days. Why not go to the Goddess Temple tomorrow? The girl can also ask for marriage."

"I don't want to go." Xu Xu said shyly.

"Miss, a man should get married when he is old, and a woman should get married when he is old. This is a common ritual in the world, don't be embarrassed." Tian said with a smile.

Seeing Xu Xu blushing like a monkey butt, Chen Danxia's evil taste came up, "The Goddess Temple will respond to all requests, so we will ask her to give us a wishful husband to our sister, and the couple will grow old together."

"San Sister-in-law, stop talking, stop talking!" Xu Xu said, covering his hot face.

It’s rare to come to Kui County, and it’s been so long, all of them are so ordinary. Chen Danxia also wanted to go out for a walk and smiled and said, “We’ll go quietly tomorrow, don’t be too ostentatious.”

In the evening, Cheng Jue came back and learned that Chen Danxia was finally willing to go out. He was very happy and told Tian to serve Chen Danxia in an endless manner, and arranged for the captain Zeng to accompany the yamen runners to accompany him.

The next day, Chen Danxia took Xu Qi and accompanied by Tian family, two maids, four servants and ten yamen runners, and left the back door of the county government. Kui County was not too big, and the county government was not far from the Goddess Temple, so Chen Danxia decided to walk to.

Considering Chen Danxia's physical condition, Tian hired a sedan chair to follow her. When Chen Danxia could not walk, she sat for her. After walking for a while, Chen Danxia smelled the aroma of food. Although it was from breakfast, Chen Danxia smelled the aroma and wanted to taste the taste irresistibly, "Sister-in-law Li, what is the sale over there?"

Tian glanced at it and smiled, "That's a stall selling sea fish, and the racks are grilled with hairtail."

"Let's go and have something to eat." Chen Danxia smiled.

"The food made in roadside stalls is not too clean, right?" Xu Xu frowned.

"It doesn't matter if it's occasionally. Even if you eat arsenic, you have to be enough to kill people." Chen Danxia smiled with no concern.

After hearing what she said, Xu Xu, Tian and others followed her to the snack stall; the snack stall was not big, and there were three round tables in total. A girl of thirteen or fourteen was standing by the rack to grill fish, and another woman in her thirties was chopping fish and making fish meatballs. There were dough on the chopping board and a small pile of wrapped wontons. There were two pots on the wood stove next to it, one was boiling water and the other was soup, and the water mist was steaming and the fragrance was overflowing.

Sitting next to the woman was a seven-year-old boy, holding the book in his hand, he was watching seriously. There were not many guests, seven people, both men, women, and young, sitting at three tables. Chen Danxia walked to the table with more empty seats and sat down, "Boss, come three bowls of wontons and three pieces of grilled fish."

"Okay, please wait, madam." The woman responded with a smile, counting three bowls of wontons into a boiling pot of water.

"Madam, this fish will be roasted for a while, please wait." The girl sprinkled seasoning on the hairtail.

While waiting for the wontons to be served and the hairtail was served, Chen Danxia didn't know whether it was a loving mother's heart or a bored person. He asked the boy with a smile, "Little brother, what book are you reading?"

The boy looked up at her and said seriously: "I don't call me little brother, my name is Zhang Pojun."

"Pojun? A good name." Chen Danxia praised with a smile.

Zhang Pojun closed the book, stood up and bowed, "Mrs. Xie praised him."

"How old are you a polite child?" Chen Danxia asked with a smile.

"I will be seven years old next month." Zhang Pojun said.

"Where do you go to school?" Chen Danxia asked with a smile.

Zhang Pojun bowed his head and said, "I haven't gone to school anymore."

"Why?" Chen Danxia asked in surprise. He loved studying so much, why didn't he go to school?

Zhang Pojun looked up at the woman who was making wontons, "My father was killed by the Japanese, and my mother and sister opened this snack stall, which was only enough..."

"Brother Jun, stop talking." The girl who grilled fish brought the grilled hairtail and interrupted Zhang Pojun's words.

Although Zhang Pojun had not finished speaking, Chen Danxia already knew the reason. His expression was slightly dismal. The Japanese and the hateful Japanese destroyed so many happy families. At this moment, Chen Danxia was very eager for the cannon to be cast quickly. When the Japanese pirates attacked again, they were beaten to pieces.

Chen Danxia didn't ask Zhang Pojun again, tearing the hairtail and eating it. After a while, three bowls of wontons were also served. The soup was milky white, with fine chopped green onion and garlic on it, and a few red wolfberry pieces. The color was very good, which made people feel appetizing.

Chen Danxia used a spoon to scoop up a wonton, blew it gently, and then put it in his mouth; after eating five, he smiled and said, "Boss, your wonton is well made, with cuttlefish, fresh shrimps, and egg yolks in it. It's really wonderful with this pork bone soup."

"Madam is so amazing. She can actually taste what kind of stuffing and soup it is." The woman smiled happily.

Chen Danxia ate two more, took a few sips of the soup, and then put down the spoon. Xu Xu and Tian finished all the wontons. Chen Danxia took out a piece of silver from his purse and signaled the maid to hand it over to the woman. The woman took the silver and said with a puzzled look: "Madam, I am a small business and can't find it."

"I will regard the rest as my grandmother as the one who is rewarded by you." Tian said, pulling the handkerchief and pressing the corner of his mouth.

"My good intentions, I appreciate it, it's impossible." The woman put the silver on the table.

"Just think it's my money for Pojun to study." Chen Danxia looked at Zhang Pojun and smiled.

The woman was stunned, "Thank you, Madam, thank you."

Although they delayed a little time for food, because they came out early, there were not many people when they arrived at the Goddess Temple, and of course it may not be the reason for the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. The person who was in charge of the Goddess Temple was a girl named Qingjingzi.
