Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 289 Xin Xin
"Ouch! You're wearing new clothes. I almost didn't recognize you!"

In the relief station, a fat woman in her forties wearing red clothes saw Ji Dian, who was in high spirits, and said with a little surprise.

Her voice was loud and clear, with a friendly smile, as if she had met an old friend whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

Ji Dian used to wear shabby clothes, with messy hair and a tired look on his face. But today, he changed into a casual long coat and trousers, and put on a peaked cap. He looked like a completely different person.

It was precisely because of the change in his appearance that he was no longer harassed today.

After all, the person others were chasing after was the ragged Living Buddha Ji Dian, not the neat and clean Li Xiuyuan.

"Clothes make the man!" Ji Dian said to her with a smile. He was very familiar with the people in the relief station, especially the woman in front of him named Tao Shanshan.

Tao Shanshan has worked in the relief station for more than ten years. She has seen all kinds of beggars, mentally retarded people, lost people and other people in need of help, but she has never seen someone like Ji Dian.

Even though they need help, they always give their stuff to others. Even though there is food in the relief station, they always go out to find food.

Ji Dian's uniqueness made Tao Shanshan pay special attention to him. Fortunately, he really had no place to live, so the relief station provided him with a temporary bed.

Little did he know that he would sleep for more than a year.

"How did you get enough money to buy clothes?" Tao Shanshan looked Ji Dian up and down, with a bit of curiosity and concern in her eyes. She is a warm-hearted woman, her husband died early, and her son just went to college this year.

She works here both to make a living and to help those in need.

"I met a friend. He has plenty of money. There's no need to save money for him." Ji Dian pointed at Shi Fei next to him with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

He knew that Shi Fei was a demon from outside the domain and had magical powers, so he naturally wouldn't worry about money, so he wore the clothes bought by Shi Fei with peace of mind.

Shi Fei just smiled after hearing this.

"You are him..." Tao Shanshan looked at Shi Fei, hesitated for a moment, and asked. Shi Fei looked different from Ji Dian, and they didn't seem to be related.

"I'm a friend of his. I just met him by chance today." Shi Fei replied in a calm tone.

"Oh! You also saw Lao Li on the Internet, right?" Tao Shanshan suddenly realized and thought that Shi Fei came to find him after seeing Ji Dian became famous on the Internet.

"He looked very similar before, but not now!" Tao Shanshan said with a smile as she looked at Ji Dian in new clothes. The "similar" she mentioned refers to Ji Dian's previous appearance in tattered clothes, which was exactly the same as the legendary monk Jigong.

After hearing this, Ji Dian smiled and shook his head: "Whether it looks like him or not is other people's evaluation. I don't have the burden of being an idol.

He didn't live for others, he just wanted to intervene when he saw something he didn't know. Thanks to the good social security, he rarely encountered injustice in this world, and they were all trivial matters.

"You came just in time!" Tao Shanshan said to Ji Dian with a bit of excitement in her tone: "The community mediator position I applied for you has been approved. I guess the higher-ups saw you online and approved it as a special matter."

"It turns out that being famous does have its benefits!" Ji Dian said with a smile, a bit of self-mockery in his tone. He didn't expect that his unintentional "fame" would actually have benefits, besides being chased by people with cameras. "Come with me later, and we'll go to another community to handle the formalities. It's just that... the salary of a community mediator is not high." Tao Shanshan said after a moment of hesitation.

He knew that as long as Ji Dian started live broadcasts and made short videos, he would soon become an "Internet celebrity" and earn a lot of money.

Ji Dian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it enough for me to eat and drink?"

Tao Shanshan nodded: "Of course it's enough, and it's enough for you to rent a house!"

Ji Dian laughed loudly after hearing this: "Isn't that enough?" He joked: "You know, I usually get no money for mediation and I get scolded!"

His laughter is hearty, open-minded and free and easy.

For him, a simple life is good enough. Having food to eat, a place to live, and doing what he wants is enough. As for fame, wealth, and vanity, he never cares about them.

Just like he chose the identity of Ji Dian instead of the identity of Kasyapa.

Shi Fei watched Ji Dian and Tao Shanshan drive to the community together. He and Ji Dian were also going to part ways. Meeting Ji Dian was originally a coincidence.

Maybe it was fate that allowed him to meet the person he had met before after he escaped from the predicament.

He continued on his journey. This time, he didn't know how many days he had walked. The road under his feet seemed to have no end.

Until one day, he came to a small town, which was not big, but had a rural atmosphere. There were low houses on both sides of the street, and occasionally a few small shops were open with faded signs hanging on the door, which looked simple and friendly.

Shi Fei stopped in front of a noodle shop. The sign read "Xinxin Noodle House" and below it was a line of small words: "Oil-splashed noodles, stir-fried dishes, braised dishes. Affordable, delicious and inexpensive."

The sign was simple, and was greasy from dust and fumes. It wasn't mealtime, so there were only people coming out after dinner, so it looked like business was pretty good.

The noodle shop is located on the main street of the town. There is plenty of open space at the door, but because there are many vehicles passing by, there is always a thin layer of dust on the ground.

At the door, an old man wearing a coat and holding a broom was sweeping the floor slowly. Although his movements were a little slow, he was sweeping very seriously, shaking his head while sweeping. It turned out that he had headphones on his ears and I don't know what he was listening to.

Shi Fei's eyes fell on the old man's face, and he couldn't help but be slightly startled. Although the old man was dressed simply, his face was very handsome, his face was like a jade crown, his forehead was full, and there was a hint of majesty between his eyebrows.

Shi Fei had seen this face once in Lingxiao Palace!
It was none other than the Jade Emperor of the past.

The only difference was that the old man in front of him looked much older, with wrinkles all over his forehead and eyes, and his back was a little hunched, completely lacking the majesty and momentum of the past. If Shi Fei had not seen him once before, he would probably not have recognized him.

Shi Fei walked forward with a smile on his face and a teasing tone: "Hey! Why are you sweeping the floor here?"

When Lao Zhang heard the voice, he looked up and saw Shi Fei, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He was stunned for a moment before he slowly said, "You...actually..."

He didn't expect to see Shi Fei again, and he didn't expect that Shi Fei's appearance had not changed at all!
