Chuchenzi ignored his eldest disciple's nagging, put the peanut shells in his hand on the table, lay down on the rattan chair, and began to close his eyes and fall asleep. Suddenly, Chuchenzi opened his cloudy eyes and whispered to his eldest disciple in front of him, "Qingshan, go open the mountain gate. A distinguished guest has arrived."
Qingshan put down the broom in his hand and said in disbelief, "Master, you're talking nonsense again. That's not right. You didn't drink today, so why are you talking like a drunk? We're in the middle of nowhere here, there aren't many people around, and you have guests coming to visit us. Are you starving?"
Before Chu Chuzi could begin to teach his eldest disciple a lesson, the door outside was slammed loudly. Qingshan took a look and shouted, "Stop knocking, stop knocking. If you keep knocking, the door will break. I'll be there to open it right away."
Qingshan passed by the master's rattan chair and gave Chuchenzi a thumbs up, saying admiringly, "Master, don't say it, your fortune-telling ability is getting stronger and stronger. You actually guessed it right. I'll go and take a look."
Qingshan opened the door and saw two huge packages. Just as he was about to open the packages, an extremely familiar face appeared in front of him. Qingshan cried out and sat on the ground.
Xiao Li said angrily, "Big Brother, what's wrong with you? Don't you even recognize me? You look like you've seen a ghost. You've made me so sad. Humph, I won't let you eat my good things. You'll cry with greed."
Hearing that there was something to eat, Qingshan immediately stood up from the ground, walked to Xiaoli, and said in a flattering manner, "My lovely little junior sister, I was just a little excited to see you suddenly. How could I not recognize you?"
Xiao Li rolled his eyes at the senior brother and said angrily, "Senior brother, don't you see there are guests here? Hurry up and take all the things back. You were so rude today."
Only then did Qingshan see Huo Qiqi next to Xiaoli. A golden light flashed in his eyes. He bowed to Huo Qiqi with both hands and said please.
Huo Qiqi glanced at Qingshan, nodded, and without saying anything more, followed Xiaoli into the yard.
Qingshan, who was left behind, looked around and found that there was indeed no one around. He put all the large packages on his back and carried them into the yard.
The yard is not small, with more than 10 small rooms. In the corner of the yard, there is a vegetable garden with a lot of cabbages growing in it. There are also some chickens and ducklings in the yard, but they are all very small and have not grown up.
When Xiao Li saw these chicks and ducklings, her girlish heart burst out. She looked at them here and there, and suddenly her face changed and she shouted loudly, "Qingshan, you are so good, you actually raised these things after I came down the mountain. Do you want to raise them and make them into delicacies to eat? You actually eat them all by yourself, I am angry."
Seeing the furious look on Little Junior Sister's face, Qingshan explained with a smile, "Little Junior Sister, after you came down the mountain, Master once went to help someone else's family. They gave him some chickens and ducklings, and I raised them in the yard."
Hearing Qingshan mention the master, Xiaoli finally remembered the purpose of her return. She looked around but didn't see Chuchenzi. She asked Qingshan in confusion, "Big Brother, where is the master? I'm back, why hasn't he come out yet? Is he angry with me?"
Hearing Xiao Li's words, Qingshan frowned. He quickly came to the rattan chair where Chuchenzi had been lying before and said puzzledly, "That's not right. He was just here. He was the one who asked me to open the door. How come he disappeared in an instant?"
Seeing Xiao Li's somewhat depressed face, Huo Qiqi smiled and comforted him, "Xiao Li, it's okay. If your master doesn't welcome you back, we'll leave now and never come back. Oh, and take away all the delicious food and drinks we brought this time."
Huo Qiqi was about to carry the large packages on her shoulders when a voice shouted, "Don't leave! You must leave these things behind. I haven't smelled meat in ages."
Huo Qiqi looked in the direction of the voice and found that the person who spoke was a middle-aged man with an unkempt appearance and a scruffy beard. Huo Qiqi frowned and asked, "Are you Xiao Li's master, Chuchenzi?"
Huo Qiqi really didn't expect that the real Chu Chenzi would be like this. It was completely different from the image of an immortal in her mind.
Xiao Li also noticed the middle-aged man at this time and said angrily, "You big liar master, it's only been over a month since we last met. How did you become like this? Go back to your room and clean yourself up, otherwise I won't give you any of the good things I brought back."
Chu Chenzi saw the pitiful little face of his beloved disciple Xiao Li, sighed deeply, and returned to the room obediently. Half an hour later, Chu Chenzi, dressed in white, appeared in front of Huo Qiqi.
Chuchenzi also put on a serious expression at this time, and said to Xiaoli seriously, "Xiaoli, you and Qingshan should sort out the things we brought back this time. Comrade Huo and I have something to say."
Xiao Li looked at Huo Qiqi, then at Chu Chenzi, raised his fist, and said seriously, "Master, you liar, you can't deceive Qiqi, or I will pull out all your beard."
Chu Chenzi subconsciously covered his beard with his hands and said to Xiao Li, "Xiao Li, don't worry, I will definitely not cheat your good sisters. You should hurry up and pack your things. Your brothers and sisters will be back soon."
After Xiaoli and Qingshan left, Chuchenzi said to Huo Qiqi, "Comrade Huo, do you have any questions?" Seeing Huo Qiqi nod, Chuchenzi continued to ask, "Is it because of the letter?"
"Comrade Huo, you are the man of destiny."
