It was a bit of an exaggeration to say that Famous's ability was the template of a protagonist. After all, it was "learning from the best and the worst." Whether it was the prediction of the future from Galaxy or the martial arts from Old Time Tea, they were all weakened and simplified versions. Famous did not learn the ability to choose the future, nor did it get the iron bones that the Strength of Faith gave Old Time Tea, but even so, it was still very cool!
Everyone was making wild guesses. Of course, 80% of them were just Richard trying to please the crowd. However, they still couldn't solve the fundamental problem — why did Famous forget its name and identity?
The takeout that Zhang Zian ordered was already cold. He took it upstairs and heated it in the microwave.
It was very warm in the pet shop. Famous poured out the words that had been bottled up for a long time. It felt a lot more relaxed. Old Time Tea continued to play the movie, Richard fought for the remote control, and Fina yawned and went back to sleep.
Famous also laid down and stared at the TV screen.
After watching for a while, it was a little sleepy. Its eyelids gradually drooped, and after a few struggles, it finally closed.
…
"Brother Famous?"
"Brother Famous?"
In the haziness, Famous seemed to have just fallen asleep and was woken up by someone.
"Is dinner ready?" It raised its head and asked, thinking that Zhang Zian was calling it for dinner.
"Brother Famous, are you hungry?"
When Famous saw the scene in front of it clearly, it stood up with a start, and all its sleepiness flew out of the sky.
Old Time Tea — the young Old Time Tea, wearing a bamboo hat and a gray robe, stood in front of Famous with a smile and said, "Famous, you have a big body, so you have to eat more. You can't be like me. I don't mind if I don't eat for a day, but you can't. You should have eaten some beef last night."
Famous shook its head and looked around.
This was not the Amazing Fate Pet Shop. It was once again at the Temple for the Righteous Cat and the Chivalrous Dog in the wilderness.
After a good night's sleep, the three members of the Chen family seemed to be in good spirits. They were kneeling on the only free futon in the ancestral hall, holding sandalwood incense in their hands, and taking turns to salute the memorial tablets on the altar. They were also murmuring to the Chivalrous Cat and the Chivalrous Dog to continue to bless them on their journey.
The chicken, duck, and fish on the offering table had already been swept clean. The leftover half a plate of braised beef and half a roasted lamb head from last night had also been stuffed into a dirty and tattered bag. Of course, if it wasn't for Old Time Tea's instructions, they wouldn't have done so.
Famous suddenly asked, "Old Time Tea, where did I go last night?"
Old Time Tea was confused by the question and answered truthfully, "Why do you ask, Brother Famous? Brother Fei didn't go anywhere and was resting on the praying mat until I woke him up just now … Or perhaps, Brother Fei is confident that he can sneak out of this ancestral hall without me knowing? "
Of course, it was impossible to push open the thick door of the ancestral hall and leave without telling Old Time Tea. Nothing could be hidden from Old Time Tea at night. At night, it was more awake than Famous.
Since Old Time Tea said so, Famous must have stayed in the ancestral hall all night.
Famous was stunned, and for a moment, it was a little dazed.
Old Time Tea looked at its face worriedly and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Famous? Did you sleep too much or are you sick?"
"Forget it, I'm fine. Maybe I slept too much." Famous shook its head and sighed.
Old Time Tea comforted it, "Brother Fei, you may be hungry. When the person who delivers food comes today, you can eat first. You don't have to wait for me."
Famous smiled bitterly. It really wasn't hungry.
But this was good. It seemed that it could switch between the two worlds by sleeping. Other people dreamed while they were sleeping, but Famous dreamed while they were sleeping.
After the Chen family finished praying, they bowed to Old Time Tea and Famous again and again, constantly thanking them for saving their lives last night.
Old Time Tea looked up at the sky, waved to them, and pointed them in a direction, indicating that they should hurry up.
Chen Tiedan and his wife thanked Old Time Tea very much. They took Baby Tiger's hand and left.
As soon as they left, Old Time Tea put out the incense. Neither it nor Famous liked the smell. It smelled like smoke.
Because Old Time Tea and Famous were hungry, they didn't have the usual practice in the morning.
Not long after, at noon, another group of people came from outside the mountain.
This time, Famous didn't make a fuss. It and Old Time Tea already knew that it was probably Wu Ning who came to visit them again.
When the group of people approached, it was just as they had expected. Wu Ning was still dressed in men's clothing, riding on a tall horse, and excitedly galloping towards them.
Old Time Tea and Famous were also looking forward to her arrival.
In the past year, Wu Ning would go to the mountain in person every two or three months. One reason was to visit her benefactors, and the other was to relax.
The days in the mountain were very boring. Old Time Tea and Famous had nothing to do except sleep, eat, and practice martial arts. The story of the pet shop had already been told, and the opportunity to help the weak was not every day.
Fortunately, when Wu Ning went to the mountain, she often brought the newspaper with her and read them some important political news. Every time this happened, they would listen very carefully and learn some things that happened outside the mountain.
The servants followed her here several times. Without waiting for orders, someone took the horse to the river to drink water, someone took a broom to clean the ancestral hall, cleaning the dust and cobwebs, and someone brought a new futon to replace the old one.
Famous and Old Time Tea hadn't eaten all day yesterday, so they were already hungry. When the servants put down the food, they immediately began to eat.
When they were eating, the maid brought a garden stool and put it on the clean ground. Wu Ning took a few newspapers and magazines, sat on the garden stool, and began to read the important things to them.
"By the way, did you know? Recently, there is a great author! "She said excitedly," I will read you the most wonderful paragraph! "
She flipped open a monthly magazine and read aloud, "Everything must be researched, only then can one understand. In ancient times, people often ate people. I still remember it, but I'm not very clear. I opened the history and checked. This history has no chronology, and the words' benevolence, righteousness, and morality 'are written on every crooked leaf. I couldn't sleep anyway, so I carefully read it for half the night. Only then did I see the word 'eat people' written all over the book! "
After reading, she put down the magazine, shrunk her neck, and smiled. "You probably don't understand, but when I read this paragraph for the first time, I felt cold all over. I couldn't even get warm under the thick quilt … Fortunately, my father is not the kind of person written in the book."
Famous didn't understand at all, but it didn't care. It only cared about why the roast chicken was a little overcooked today … Old Time Tea nodded thoughtfully.
Wu Ning didn't notice Old Time Tea's reaction. She just stared at the mountains in the distance and murmured, "Although my father is not that kind of person, he doesn't want me to read these newspapers. He said that I would get into trouble. After I read it, I wanted to tell someone, but no one could. I could only tell you this when I entered the mountain …"
Old Time Tea looked at her sympathetically.
"Also, I almost forgot to mention." She smiled self-pityingly and got rid of her sadness. She picked up another copy of Shen Bao and said, "There is one more important thing. Germany has just announced its surrender. The war is over, and China is the winner. The Beiyang government is holding a grand military parade in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. I heard it was very lively. I really want to see it with my own eyes … But it's so far away. "
Famous almost choked on a chicken bone. It coughed a few times.
It looked up at the big title of Shen Bao, but what attracted it more was the time.
1918.
Famous suddenly had an inexplicable feeling in its heart. This number seemed to have a special meaning to it.
It turned its head to the far west, but it didn't know what it was looking at.
After talking about the important thing, Wu Ning said some intimate things to them, even some of her little secrets that she had never told anyone.
When the sun was setting, the servants urged her to go home. She said goodbye to them and left reluctantly.
The fish returned to the sea, and the birds returned to the forest. The Temple for the Righteous Cat and the Chivalrous Dog became quiet again.
Famous tilted its head and said to Old Time Tea, "Old Time Tea, I have a new story. Do you want to hear it?"
"Oh, what's the story?" Old Time Tea was immediately interested.
Famous lay on the futon and said, "It's a very long story about how to make a movie. You'd better lie down and listen slowly."
