Wuniu has really been living here this winter. After seeing Lin Haoming, he ran over excitedly, hugged Lin Haoming and shouted: "Master Lin, you finally came out, but you worried me to death." After that, he looked at Aunt Hexian beside him and said, "Thank you so much for helping to find the young master."
"Don't thank me, I'm really ashamed." He Xiangu said with a bitter smile.
Lin Haoming also knew that He Xiangu came in before and met Wanniu in the village, so he had the means to pretend to be Wanniu, but he didn't expect that he would see through it at a glance.
"Brother Lin, you finally came out. You worried me to death." At this time, Lin Haoming saw Che Guangyao and Che Mingde coming too.
Che Guangyao's sarcoma grew on his shoulders. It would usually be a little taller, but now it's gone. Che Mingde's butt also seems to be healed.
"When did Brother Che get here?" Lin Haoming asked.
"After my father passed away, I couldn't sit still when I saw Brother Lin hadn't come back after the funeral. When the mourning moon came out, I went to invite He Xiangu and found Wuniu waiting here. This silly boy just I don't know how to wait here, but I don't know how to ask someone to deliver a letter." Che Guangyao sighed.
Lin Haoming also laughed when he heard it. Although he did bad things with good intentions, Lin Haoming was naturally very grateful at the moment.
Knowing that everything was okay, everyone was naturally happy, and He Xiangu Che Guangyao also hired a big car specially so that she would not have to walk.
He Xiangu didn't want to go back to Tianshui Village, but went to Baoyu County together.
As soon as he walked into the city gate, Lin Haoming discovered something surprising. Many people were busy in the Baoyu County Town God's Temple. Lin Haoming couldn't help but curiously asked: "What's going on?"
Che Guangyao was also a little curious, but at this moment, he saw Che Mingzhi, his nephew, in the crowd, and immediately greeted him.
"Fifth uncle, Mr. Lin." Che Mingzhi also ran over immediately.
"What's going on?" Lin Haoming asked the same question.
Che Mingzhi said happily: "A few days ago, the statue of the City God in the City God's Temple suddenly fell to pieces. The people who found it were shocked. But soon everyone wanted to reshape the City God, but the original City God was not up to the task. Grandpa He didn’t just pass away. People in the city missed my grandpa when he was a county captain in his early years and kept us safe. Later, our family often repaired bridges and paved roads and became a poor class. My fifth uncle even became the son of the state, and all the sarcoma in the family suddenly disappeared. I feel that grandpa is a man with magical power, so I plan to let grandpa be the city god. Dad agreed to this yesterday. Not only will he have a statue here, but after he is cured, he will also give porridge to the city god temple for seven consecutive days."
When Lin Haoming heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Unexpectedly, after the City God was killed by He Xiangu, he would be replaced only a few days later. But he didn't know what would happen to the old man of the Che family after he became the City God?
When they arrived at Che's house, Che Guangye knew that Lin Haoming was back, so he immediately came over to thank him and filled a precious gift box with a square and a round as a thank you gift.
Lin Haoming looked at the two jade boxes and couldn't laugh or cry for a while, but the value of these two jade boxes was far more than a square meter and a yuan.
Lin Haoming accepted the things, but still reminded: "The owner's book, because your father is about to become a city god, and some of the reasons why he became a city god are also mine, so I will accept these if you give them to me, but I won't do it next time, otherwise in the future I won’t help anymore.”
Seeing what Lin Haoming said, Che Guangye knew that he had done something wrong with good intentions and immediately changed his mind.
Seeing this, Lin Haoming nodded with satisfaction.
In the next few days, He Xiangu stayed at the Che family to recuperate from her injuries, because she was also looking for Lin Haoming's injuries in name, and the Che family also gave her a lot of nourishing items. Her vitality was getting better day by day, visible to the naked eye, for half a month. After that, her appearance was no different from before, but Lin Haoming could see that her feet were still a little weak, and it would take ten and a half months of training to recover.
At this time, the statue of the City God of Old Master Che was erected, and Che Guangyao and the young and old of the Che family began to serve porridge at the City God's Temple.
Originally, the Chenghuang Temple here was located in the west of the city. It was just a small temple that looked a little shabby. However, the Che family spent half a month to not only erect the statue, but also renovate the temple, making it look much more grand.
Although there are not many poor people in the city, the Che family is willing to give porridge, so naturally there are many people who bring bowls from home. Two large pots of porridge are left and right at the entrance of the temple. When Lin Haoming arrived, there was already a queue. There was a long queue, at least two to three hundred people, and people kept coming from behind.
These two large pots have been boiled since the fifth watch, and they are already fragrant at dawn. Moreover, this is not white porridge. There are a lot of beans in it, which makes it even more fragrant when cooked.
Although most people left after receiving the porridge, some people would enter the temple to pay homage to the city god. Lin Haoming also followed him into the temple. Although the place was not very big and there were many people, because of this, Lin Haoming felt faintly. I feel that the clay and gold-painted statue of Mr. Che seems to have a hint of aura.
Lin Haoming looked at it for a while, but it seemed that not much had changed. He turned around and wanted to go out. At this time, he saw an old man standing behind him. The old man was also looking at the statue of the City God. His eyes were obviously a little different from the others, and there was no awe at all. , but with a little playfulness.
Lin Haoming glanced at the old man. The old man seemed to have noticed Lin Haoming. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Lin Haoming for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "My little friend, I wonder if you are interested in having a drink together."
"Okay." Lin Haoming agreed directly.
The old man looked to be in his early fifties, with half black and white hair mixed into gray, and a look of determination on his face.
Not far from the Chenghuang Temple, there is a restaurant at the gate of the west gate. The restaurant has two floors, and the second floor is specially made into private rooms. The two of them chose to sit down in the private room by the roadside and ordered a few side dishes. A jug of wine.
There was still an hour before noon, and there were quite a few people on the road because of the porridge donation at the Chenghuang Temple. The porridge donation was already halfway through, and it was estimated that it would be almost over before noon.
The old man looked over and asked: "The new city god is really lucky. He is not very outstanding, but he can also become a god. The old city god protected Baoyu County during the war and chaos, and finally sacrificed his life for I came here to bring peace to the whole city, but I didn’t expect that it would be completely forgotten in less than a hundred years.”
When Lin Haoming heard this, he roughly understood how the original city god became the city god when he fell to the ground. He did not expect that the city god who wanted to sneak attack Hua Caiyi also did such a thing back then.
"It was the man who protected the city, not the City God." Lin Haoming corrected him immediately.
"Inheriting his aura will also inherit some of his memories. Naturally, it is his continuation. It is him." The old man immediately retorted.
