"Grandpa, don't be angry. Grandma is right."
Pfft!
Chen Jin nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Dad, stop arguing. We will definitely not back down on this matter," said Chen Long.
Chen Jin glared at Chen Long and said, "If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I won't let you off today! To think I scrambled down here, only to end up with a bunch of ingrates. "
Su Hong and company smiled bitterly as they pulled Chen Jin to the side and recounted what they had seen.
After Chen Jin heard that, he fell silent.
"Old Man, I know you have a bad temper, but if you continue being stubborn about Fangzheng's matter, we won't be able to live on. It's fine if you are stubborn, but you can't be ungrateful! If not for Fangzheng, our family would have been reduced to ashes, "said Su Hong.
Chen Jin lit a cigarette and smoked it silently. After taking two puffs, he asked, "Are you sure you aren't seeing things?"
"Seeing things? Dad, look at the roof beam at the door! Others might be seeing things, but how can this be? "said Chen Long.
Chen Jin said in puzzlement, "That doesn't make sense. When I went down the mountain, Fangzheng was still there. There's only one path down the mountain. If he went down, it's impossible for me to not see him. But I didn't see him at all! Also, about the couplet you mentioned, this matter is too bizarre. How do you expect me to believe it? "
"The couplet matter is absolutely true. We all saw it. Old Man, think about it. We aren't home all year round, and this house is also an old one. The entire village is made of tiled houses. You are the only one who likes this old house and only changed the doors and windows. How long can a house made of mud and wood last? No matter how fast you go down the mountain, it will take you an hour, right? Which house wouldn't burn down in an hour?
However, our house is only burning on the outside. There's no fire or smoke inside. How can this be normal? You can say that it's a hallucination, but would we still be alive after we enter the smoke? "said Su Hong.
Chen Long added, "That's right, Dad. You have to be reasonable. You are so obedient to that Wu Ming. Fangzheng is so godly, but you keep trying to defame him. What's going on in that brain of yours? "
Pa!
Chen Jin raised his hand and slapped Chen Long on the head. He reprimanded him, "How can you speak to your father like that? No matter what, it's not my son's turn to lecture me! "
"What's there to be angry about? We all saw it with our own eyes. Tell me, what are you going to do? "Su Hong said.
Chen Jin threw the cigarette away and stood up. "I, Chen Jin, am not a bastard! How could he be ungrateful? However, this matter is really strange. I want to go up the mountain to have a look. He wanted to see what Fangzheng had to say. Otherwise, he wouldn't give up. But don't worry. After what happened today, I will draw a clear line between me and Wu Ming in the future! Is that okay? Well, the house is gone. What are we going to do in the future? "
"What should we do? Come to our place. There's such a big house in the county. Can't the two of you live in it? "Chen Long said.
"Get lost! Who's staying with you? I only like One Finger Village, "Chen Jin said.
"Then I'll build you a new house, okay?" Chen Long said with a smile.
"At least you have a conscience. I'm leaving!" Chen Jin's expression finally softened.
"Where to?" Su Hong asked.
"To the market." Chen Jin waved his hand.
"Why are we going there?" Chen Long asked perplexed.
Chen Jin glared at him and said, "Are you going up the mountain empty-handed to meet your savior? Don't you have any shame?! Even if you don't want it, your father wants it! "
Chen Long, Su Hong, and company immediately laughed.
Chen Long's son immediately ran up and shouted, "I want to eat sweets!"
…
On the mountain, Fangzheng was very unhappy! He was extremely unhappy!
"System, say that again! How many draws? "Fangzheng yelled with a look of grief and indignation!
"Once! You have already asked me more than twenty times. Even if you ask me a hundred and eight times, my answer will not change! Once means once! "said the System.
"I …" Fangzheng wanted to curse again, but he held back. He could only curse once a day. Good steel had to be used where it was most needed. He could not waste it. Fangzheng pointed to the sky and said, "If you didn't have a corporeal body, I would have taught you a lesson! I would have let you understand that Lu Zhishen uprooted a weeping willow in ancient times. Now, I will repay the System with my head! "
"Are you going to draw? If not, I'm leaving. "
"Yes! Why shouldn't I draw? But you owe me a perfect explanation! I can't accept it if you don't give me an explanation! I've saved four lives, so why can I only draw it once? Didn't we agree on one draw per person? To be honest, did you get a commission for those three times? I risked my life to exchange for them. How can you eat them? My ass still hurts! "yelled Fangzheng.
The System said, "Perfect explanation? Sure. You saved four people in one go on this operation. It was indeed a huge merit. If Chen Jin's family had perished in the inferno, Chen Jin might not have survived either. Chen Long's wife's parents would probably be sad and live in pain for the rest of their lives. "
"That's right. How much merit was that!? You only gave me one chance at the draw. You are too stingy, "mumbled Fangzheng.
The System ignored Fangzheng and continued. "However, it's only one action. It's just that the number of people saved is four. Your merit will not be reduced, but there is only one draw. One action, one lucky draw! There won't be any more. If you want more, you can improve your meals. However, this time's lucky draw wasn't an ordinary one. The merit points of four people were enough for one to get a good item. In other words, four small draws for four people will be exchanged for a big draw!
You could have drawn four glass balls, but now you can draw a golden pearl. Which one do you want? If you are dumb, pretend I didn't say anything. "
Fangzheng's eyes lit up. He was obviously not a fool. No matter how correct the glass balls were, they were still glass balls. The golden pearl was a qualitative change! Therefore Fangzheng said, "That's a perfect explanation. This Penniless Monk accepts it."
"Can I draw now?"
"Yes! I have to! Uh … By the way, you said that there would be a reward when I went down the mountain. Can I draw together now? "Fangzheng suddenly recalled the matter and asked.
"Yes, together? Or should I merge two merit points together and draw a big one? "asked the System.
Fangzheng was stunned. "You can even accumulate merit to draw together?"
"Of course. Although merit is incorporeal, the merit you obtain every time will not be added to your old merit points as long as you don't draw at the draw. It will be calculated separately! If you draw at the draw, these merit points will be used as a rating. The higher the merit, the higher the chances of obtaining something good from the draw. This is also a way of judging by the System. Alright, is it two glass balls or one golden pearl? "asked the System.
Fangzheng rolled his eyes. "System, I realize how evil you are! Four times, you compressed it into one. Two times, you compressed it into one again … "
"You can choose twice," said the System matter-of-factly.
