Become a god in the world of Cthulhu

Chapter 187
When Ye Yuqing returned to her grandmother, the table was already full of people, and only the seat next to her grandmother was empty, which was reserved for her.

Grandma Hua didn't ask anything, she just opened the chair a little so that the little girl could sit down.

Ye Yuqing likes this kind of banquet very much. He can eat a little of each dish and feels very satisfied.The only thing that made her feel a little regretful was that there was no fried meat with mushrooms at this banquet!

The banquet lasted for nearly two hours before it was truly over. The guests dispersed, and Village Chief Tao's house gradually became quiet.

Village head Tao and his wife sat in front of the bed, taking stock of the family's belongings. Now that Shu'er has passed the Juren exam, she will naturally continue to take the exam.When a child travels far away to study alone, the parents are always worried, and they need to bring him some money.

Village head Tao recalled what county head Tan told him during the day, "Your son is full of talent, both ability and political integrity. If you continue your studies, you will definitely be able to make great achievements!"

"Duohong Confucianism in the capital is a good place to study!" These were the last words that County Magistrate Tan said before leaving.

Village Chief Tao hesitated, the capital city is still too far away!

In the end, it was Tao Shu who expressed his opinion, "Father, children are not afraid of distance, and they should not be afraid of hardships and difficulties in studying. The sharp edge of the sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. Parents, please rest assured and wait for the child to come back!" Tao Shu thought. , Returning home, this is probably the dream of every scholar, and he wants to make this dream come true.

Village head Tao didn't understand what swords and plum blossoms were, but he respected his son's wishes and let him go if he wanted to.It's a good thing that his son is so outstanding, so he should think about making a career for himself!Village head Tao told himself so in his heart.

"Little Taoshu, go ahead, you must work hard!" Ye Yuqing thought for a long time, but was really not very good at saying goodbye, so she said this after a long time.

She knew that little Taoshu was leaving and no one would play with her in the future. Thinking of this, Ye Yuqing felt a little sad in her heart.However, little Taoshu went to further her studies. Although she didn't quite understand the meaning of this word, she knew that it was a good thing.

"Okay! You have to be good!" Little Tao Shu stretched out his hand for the first time, rubbed the top of her hair, waved his hand, and left Bixi Village with his book bag on his back.

The weather is gradually getting cooler, but it is almost the beginning of winter in a blink of an eye, and Ye Yuqing's birthday has arrived.

"What birthday gift does Jin'er want this year?" Grandma Hua asked her a month in advance.

"I want a big table of food!" Ye Yuqing blinked and replied quickly.

"Okay! I see!" Grandma Hua sighed softly. The little girl's birthday present every year requires a big table of food. I don't know, I thought she was always hungry and wouldn't give her food.But there was none at all, Jin'er had three meals a day, and never missed a single meal, and every meal was extraordinarily sweet.

On the day of Ye Yuqing's birthday, Grandma Hua did as she was told and cooked a large table of dishes, a full table with six dishes in total, taking the auspicious meaning of six or six.

"Bazhen chicken, sweet and sour fish, roasted duck with bamboo shoots, vegetable jade rolls, meatball soup, and... fried meat with mushrooms!" Ye Yuqing stood in front of the table and counted the dishes on the table.

"Wonderful!" Ye Yuqing looked at the dishes on the table, her eyes bright, and she suddenly put her hands in her hands and laughed.

Grandma Hua heard the movement in the kitchen and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm telling you, grandma's table has a really wonderful combination of meat and vegetables, meatball soup to warm you up, and my favorite mushroom fried pork!" Ye Yuqing walked to the door with a smile and talked. And talk.

Hearing the praise, Grandma Hua's brows widened, she was very pleased, and said with a smile, "You little girl is poor!"

"I'll call the two little guys over!" Ye Yuqing ran towards the door.

"Come back soon, don't wait for the food to get cold!" Grandma Hua urged in the yard.

"I know!" Ye Yuqing shouted from a distance.

"Aqing, Ake, eat more!" During the meal, Ye Yuqing gave the two little guys a piece of duck each and said with a smile.

The little guys said in unison, "Thank you sister Jin'er!"

Ye Yuqing looked at the little guy's cute and obedient appearance, smiled and rolled his eyes, and said repeatedly, "No thank you, no thank you, don't be polite to Sister Jin'er!"

The two little guys are two children from the neighbor's house. Ake is the elder brother, five years old, and Aqing is the younger sister, three years old this year. The two little guys are very good.I always like to chase Ye Yuqing and ask, Sister Jiner, what are you doing?At this time, Ye Yuqing would answer them with a smile, and then take them to play together.

"Happy birthday to Sister Jin'er!" After the meal, little Ah Qing took out a bracelet woven with red string from her bosom, on which was hung a crystal-clear amber pendant in the shape of a plump, round drop.

Ye Yuqing took it and touched the small pendant carefully. It felt like jade but not jade. After thinking about it for a while, Ye Yuqing's eyes lit up, "This must be herring stone!"

"Sister Jin'er is really smart!" Ah Qing said with a smile.

"This is the herring that my father caught, my brother dried and polished it, and I wove the rope. By the way, sister Jin'er, I heard that this can exorcise evil spirits!" Ah Qing introduced in a rambling manner.

Ye Yuqing rubbed Ah Qing's little face lovingly, looked at the bracelet in her hand carefully, and said with a smile, "It's so beautiful! Thank you! Sister Jin'er likes this gift very much."

Ah Qing and A Ke blushed happily, "It's good that sister Jin'er likes it!"

At night, Ye Yuqing took out the bracelet from her arms, tied it on her left wrist, and fell asleep peacefully.

"Ajin, is your Grandma Hua at home?" Ye Yuqing was watering the mushrooms in the yard when she heard a voice above her head. Ye Yuqing looked up and said, "Brother Changhong!"

"A Jin!" The young man called Brother Changhong smiled softly, with a pair of faint dimples on his cheeks, which looked a little cute.

"Grandma is out, but if anything happens, just tell me the same thing." Ye Yuqing replied.

"Oh! This is the money from the last time I went to the market to help Grandma Hua sell handkerchiefs. Remember to give it to Grandma Hua!" Changhong smiled, and took out a half-worn handkerchief wrapped with money from his pocket.
"Excuse!" Song Xiao glanced at him and said in disbelief. "No matter what, I did break my promise!" Tao Shu bent down and picked up a stone from the ground, made a gesture of swearing, looked up at Song Xiao and said, "If Sijin still has complaints, why don't you do it again?" Hit me once, and I promise I will never tell anyone this time. Really! This time, even if...even if my father comes out with a whip thicker than this tree, I will never say it again!"

Tao Shu said seriously while pointing seriously at the willow tree where Ye Yuqing was sitting, which was as thick as a person's arms.

"Call Sister Ah Xiao!" Ye Yuqing corrected.

"Don't! I'm not short-sighted. The last time was enough!" Song Xiao leisurely took off a willow leaf and threw it down. Watching it stumble to the ground, she replied coolly.

"However, I'm not such a stingy person. For the time being, I'll forgive you!" In fact, she had already forgotten about it. It was mentioned from time to time, and she probably couldn't remember it now.

"Then thank you Sijin Kuanhong!" Tao Shu smiled and rolled up his sleeves, and expressed his thanks in a decent manner.

Song Xiao curled her lips and once again took the trouble to correct her: "There are no rules, call me Sister Ah Xiao!"

Tao Shu blinked, smiled and replied, "Okay, Ah Xiao!"

"Hey! I'm three years older than you, and I've always taken care of you like an eldest sister all these years. Why can't I call you a sister in exchange? What a heartlessness!" Song Xiao looked at Tao Shu and said angrily.

Tao Shu tilted his head and looked at her, as if he was recalling something, and slightly elongated his voice, "Take care of her like a elder sister... Huh? Why didn't I know about it!"

Song Xiao looked at him in disbelief, "How could you not know this!"

Song Xiao broke his fingers and counted them carefully, "When I go into the water and catch fish, I will often give you one, and I will give you one if I fold a beautiful flower. Even my favorite mushrooms grown by my grandmother, I will give you one." I give it to you to eat from time to time, and I will give you a few roasted sweet potatoes in winter, don’t you remember these things?”

"That's right! I don't know who it is, I don't know where I went to play and I came home late. I was afraid of being nagged by Zhou Wudao, so I said it was me who insisted on dragging you to play with me and refused to let you go home. Zhou Wudao left the next day. My family told my mother that in order to help someone, I had to silently admit that it was my fault, but I was scolded for most of the night! "

"And a few days ago, in order to chase a yellow butterfly, someone stepped on the half-acre rapeseed field of Aunt Wang's house without even looking at the road under his feet. You yourself were in a hurry to chase the butterfly. I see you I was walking the wrong way, so I didn’t follow inside, and while calling you to come back, I was standing outside the vegetable garden, but Aunt Wang happened to see me, and I stood there and endured a long time of scolding for you!”

"Also, uh..." Before Tao Shu could continue, his mouth was covered by a pair of white and soft hands.Tao Shu was stunned, and his ears were slightly red.

Song Xiao smiled shyly and looked at Tao Shu's wide-eyed Tao Shu, "Okay, okay! Don't be so stingy to turn over the old score. If you don't want to yell, just don't yell!"

Tao Shu's mouth was covered, and he wanted to struggle to escape, but the girl was so strong that he couldn't break free at all, which made him feel even more ashamed and annoyed.

"Let go of me!" Tao Shu shouted vaguely with his mouth covered.

Song Xiao thought for a while, "Then you have to promise me that you will stop talking about this!"

Tao Shu couldn't speak, so he blinked vigorously to express his agreement.

Seeing this, Song Xiao let go of his hand in relief.

Someone in the distance shouted "Ah Xiao!"

Song Xiao glanced into the distance, and said to Tao Shu, "My grandmother told me to go back, little Tao Shu, I won't play with you today!"

After speaking, the girl ran home.

Tao Shu stood there in a daze, running so fast!In a blink of an eye, the person disappeared again.He seems to never be able to keep up with Song Xiao's rhythm. Ordinary people will at least bring their companions along the way when they go home, or say goodbye to each other before leaving separately. There are very few people like her who made a hasty confession without waiting for others to react. It's gone.

Tao Shu shook his head amusedly, what was he thinking!Isn't Song Xiao like this all the time, she acts with pure motives, doesn't hold back her own thoughts, and does whatever she wants.She is obviously a 15-year-old girl, but she is still as innocent and stubborn as a child, making it difficult for people to really get angry with her.

"Girl! Why are you running in such a hurry!" Song Xiao looked at the little girl's face that had become extremely rosy due to strenuous exercise with a smile, took out a handkerchief from her arms, and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Full of pity.

Song Xiao replied solemnly, "Grandmother asked me to call me. If I come back earlier, grandma can naturally worry less!"

Zhou Wudao smiled and said, "The little girl is really amazing. She is getting better and better at pleasing grandma!" There was no trace of resentment in his tone, only doting that could be easily seen at a glance.

"Grandma, is it time to have fried meat with mushrooms for dinner?" Ye Yuqing smiled brightly and asked quickly.

"Don't worry, if grandma forgets anything, she won't forget your mushroom fried meat!" Zhou Wudao sighed helplessly.

The same dish, one meal a day, after eating these years, the little girl did not feel bored in the slightest, but it was very similar to her mother's love for taro cakes, which has not changed for decades.

Zhou Wudao was cleaning the mushrooms. The mushrooms were just picked from the garden. They were plump, firm, fluffy and soft, with a slight smell of earth in the garden.Grandma Hua first cleaned them roughly, then tore the large pieces of oyster mushrooms into small pieces, then put them in clean water and washed them gently.

Looking up, he accidentally saw a little girl sitting on a small bench in the yard weaving a wreath outside the window. Zhou Wudao looked at her carefree eyes, and for some reason, he suddenly remembered what the Taoist priest who once wandered here said: This child They are talented and have an exquisite mind. If they are well cultivated, they will be of great use in the future.But now, the three souls and seven souls are missing one main soul. If the main soul does not return, her mind will not be able to grow. Although she will always be as pure as a child, she will not be able to show her talent and live a mediocre life.

At that time, she was lucky enough to scold the Taoist priest, her silky child was obviously just playful, and it would be fine when she grew up, but he made it up to be a mess.

However, as Xiao'er grew up, it seemed that she was gradually confirming the words of the Taoist priest back then, her mind was clear, and her talent was not obvious.

She took out the poems and songs and recited them to her. Obviously she was watching, the little girl sat quietly for a whole morning and memorized, but she couldn't even recite a short poem with only twenty characters. She took out her mother's legacy I gave her the martial arts cheats that I gave her, and she learned it for a full month, but she didn't learn a single move.

It's just not obvious!
Zhou Wudao sighed melancholy, looked away, drained the water in the basin and went to stir-fry.
