The fat man looked at Zhang Qiling in a daze for a moment, and immediately chose to complain, "Xiao Chuan'er, look at him!"
Ji Huaichuan pinched his eyebrows speechlessly, "Okay, let's talk about you, Fatty."
"I... Boss Shen asked me to find something, a piece of iron, but now there are two pieces of iron, and I don't know which one it is." The fat man hesitated for a long time before finally saying it. He who knows the times is a hero.
Ji Huaichuan stretched out his hand and said, "Take it out. It's not too uncomfortable to hide it."
Then, under Zhang Qiling's gaze, the fat man took out two iron blocks from his waistband. These were the two blocks that Zhang Qiling held in his hands every day. The iron blocks finally fell into Ji Huaichuan's hands. After Ji Huaichuan put away the iron blocks, he stood up, patted the dirt, waved his hand and said, "You two can play here slowly!" Then he walked away without looking back.
The fat man and Zhang Qiling looked at each other in confusion. The fat man was about to speak when he saw Zhang Qiling stand up and catch up with Ji Huaichuan. The fat man was not in a hurry. Sure enough, Zhang Qiling came back in a moment. He was very happy when he left, but he looked depressed when he came back. The fat man laughed and said, "You were chased back. Come on, do handicrafts with me."
As he spoke, the fat man pointed to a pile of bones on the ground. Zhang Qiling wanted to leave, but remembering what Ji Huaichuan said before he left, he silently followed the fat man to piece together the bones. The fat man now missed the time when he first met Ji Huaichuan. He would never see the timid little Chuan'er again.
…
The entrance to Panjiayuan in Beijing
A young man with gray hair sat on a chair, holding a green bone fan. A loud speaker hung from the chair, and from the speaker he shouted, "Chen Tingsi, if you have the guts to trick a child, then open the door! Don't hide in there in silence! I know you're home!"
Ji Huaichuan specially asked someone to record this conversation. He had been sitting in front of Shen Tingsi's shop for almost a day. If he hadn't known that there was someone inside, Ji Huaichuan would have finished his work long ago.
There weren't many people coming and going, just a few here and there, and even those who passed by ran away very quickly. Everyone in Panjiayuan knew that the guy in "Leading Huali" was not someone to be trifled with, so who dared to watch him make a fuss?
Ji Huaichuan yawned out of boredom, and raised the pitch of his voice with his backhand. Melon seed shells fell all around the chair. About three or five minutes later, a paper man in blue clothes opened the door.
The blue-clothed paper figurine bowed respectfully towards Ji Huaichuan with a strange smile, "Your Highness, the master invites you in."
Ji Huaichuan stood up, brushed off the melon seed shells on his clothes, picked up the chair and walked in. As he walked in, he leaned over to the paper figurine and whispered, "Pick up the melon seed shells at the door later. It's not a good influence."
The smile on the paper figurine's face broke for a moment, and then he replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness."
Ji Huaichuan nodded in satisfaction and walked towards the backyard.
In the backyard, Shen Tingsi was playing chess with Zhang Rishan. Seeing Ji Huaichuan come in, Shen Tingsi said without even looking up, "When are you going to return the two-color glazed chess pieces and the torreya chessboard you took from me last time?"
Ji Huaichuan glanced at Zhang Rishan beside Chen Tingsi and chuckled, "Is this your new lover?"
Zhang Rishan paused as he was about to place his chess piece, then put it down and looked up with a slight smile, "You are..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ji Huaichuan, "A fake is a fake, just an ugly imitator."
Shen Tingsi casually threw a chess piece straight at Ji Huaichuan's face, and said in a cold and frightening voice, "If you have lost your manners, go learn them. You have humiliated him for nothing."
"Chen Tingsi, you have no right to say that!" Ji Huaichuan threw the chess piece to the ground and said angrily.
Ji Huaichuan was furious, but Shen Tingsi didn't care. He slowly put away the chess pieces on the board and told Ruo Ming Ruo An to take them away. Then he said slowly, "If you came here to argue with me, then go back. There's nothing to argue about between us."
Ji Huaichuan rolled his eyes without giving any face and said unhappily, "We have plenty of things to argue about."
Shen Tingsi ignored him and said to himself: "If it's for your brother, I can take you to see him."
"Hypocritical." Ji Huaichuan gritted his teeth.
Shen Tingsi tilted his head nonchalantly, "See?"
"See!" If looks could kill, Shen Tingsi would have been killed several times by Ji Huaichuan.
Shen Tingsi looked as if it was just what he expected, and he leisurely left the backyard. After Shen Tingsi left, Ji Huaichuan stared at Zhang Rishan for a long time, then said indifferently, "You know what he wants to do, right?"
Zhang Rishan nodded and said nothing.
Ji Huaichuan continued, "He has already sacrificed many people for this plan."
"I know." Zhang Rishan whispered.
"Then why did you let him do whatever he wanted?!" Ji Huaichuan couldn't believe it. Their Zhang family is full of love-brained people, right?
Zhang Rishan smiled shyly, "If I could have let it go, I would have let it go decades ago. Why would I wait until now?"
"Love-brained! You have to spit after biting into a zongzi." Ji Huaichuan rolled his eyes.
"He wanted to resurrect your brother. He told me that when we first met."
Ji Huaichuan was a little confused, "Are you so great? Are you willing to sacrifice yourself for the person you love?"
Zhang Rishan heard Ji Huaichuan say this, as if he suddenly realized something, "Why do you say that?"
"Ah? You don't know?" Ji Huaichuan was also confused. "Then why did you blindly agree to what I said for so long?"
"I thought you were talking about his plan." Zhang Rishan narrowed his eyes.
Ji Huaichuan sighed deeply, "He resurrected my brother this time because he found my brother's reincarnation, so he planned it for so long. Although I know he will never succeed, I can't persuade him."
"You mean, that reincarnation... is me?" Zhang Rishan frowned.
Ji Huaichuan nodded silently, confirming this fact.
Zhang Rishan was silent for a long time. He hadn't come back to his senses until Shen Tingsi came back. Shen Tingsi came out of the house slowly. He looked at the two of them with a somewhat obscure look in his eyes, but he hid it well. He said to Ji Huaichuan in a gentle voice, "I found the key. Come with me."
"Where are you going?" Ji Huaichuan looked at Shen Tingsi, frowned slightly, and there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
Shen Tingsi sighed, "Go see your brother."
Then he said to Zhang Rishan: "You stay here first, I will come back later...I have something to tell you."
Zhang Rishan nodded absentmindedly, not paying attention to what Shen Tingsi said, nor did he miss the slightly gloomy dark light in Shen Tingsi's eyes.
Seeing Zhang Rishan nodded in agreement, Chen Tingsi smiled in a good mood and left "Lead Huali" with Ji Huaichuan.
