Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

Wang Junyuan rolled his eyes and said, "Come on, what you're saying must be all those clichéd stories. I'm not interested in listening to them."

Chen Lang said, "Master Wang, did you know that the storybooks you listen to every day were all written by me?"

Wang Junyuan was shocked and asked, "Is this true?"

"Why would I lie to you? I'm a jack of all trades. I know everything."

"Storytelling? No big deal." Chen Lang raised his eyebrows.

Wang Junyuan became interested and said, "Then tell me Nie Xiaoqian's story again. I only heard half of it last time."

Chen Lang asked, "Why, Young Master Wang likes these love stories?"

Wang Junyuan scratched his head, smiled sheepishly, and said, "I think it's quite interesting."

Chen Lang said, "Come to the store and listen to what Nie Xiaoqian has to say."

"I'll tell you something else."

Wang Junyuan asked, "What?"

"A love story, the kind that moves heaven and earth." Chen Lang said seriously.

"Okay, okay." Wang Junyuan said, "But before we talk, can I have a glass of deer pear juice?"

Chen Lang asked the waitress in the store to bring Wang Junyuan a cup of deer pear juice and a fruit plate.

Wang Junyuan sat on the stool and looked at Chen Lang eagerly: "Go ahead."

Chen Lang cleared his throat and said, "A long time ago, there was a stone monkey who, under the guidance of the Bodhisattva, escorted a monk to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. After returning, he was named Fighting and Victory Buddha."

"But the monkey was used to his freedom and couldn't stand the strict rules and regulations of Heaven, so he resigned from his position in Heaven and prepared to return to his hometown, Huaguo Mountain..."

Wang Junyuan subconsciously wanted to interrupt Chen Lang because he felt that this story sounded confusing, with both Bodhisattva and monkey involved, where did the love come from?

However, after listening to a part of it, I felt that although this story did not involve romance, it sounded quite interesting.

"I have saved the people and obtained the scriptures. I, Old Sun, don't want anything else. I just want to return to this Flower-Fruit Mountain and live a peaceful life."

"But you actually killed my monkeys and grandchildren!"

When Wang Junyuan heard this, he clenched his fists violently, as if he was the monkey being oppressed by the Heavenly Court.

The story that follows becomes even more exciting.

The man of destiny held a stick, beat the black bear demon, killed the yellow-haired marten rat, and killed the yellow-browed...

This is a world that Wang Junyuan has never been exposed to before.

The gods are in power, but demons are also rampant.

The protagonist of the story rebels against all this.

Wang Junyuan had completely immersed himself in the story. He felt like he was the destined person in the story. The Black Bear Demon was the family servant, the Yellow-haired Sable was the housekeeper, and the Yellow Eyebrows were his biological father...

"Stinky monkey, what do you think the world outside is like?"

After saying this, Chen Lang stopped.

Wang Junyuan was anxious, "Don't stop, keep talking."

Chen Lang took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and said, "It's already very late."

Wang Junyuan grabbed Chen Lang's hand and pleaded, "Brother Chen, good brother, please continue."

"Will Fourth Sister leave Pansi Cave with the Destiny Man?"

The little brat is easy to coax. He used to say "Hey" all the time, but now he has become Brother Chen.

Chen Lang said: "It's really late. If you don't go back now, you probably won't be able to leave the house in the next few months."

Wang Junyuan was stunned for a moment, then remembered that he had sneaked out today and didn't even have a servant with him.

Looking outside again, it was already dark.

If I don’t go back, I’ll probably be grounded for a few months.

"Brother Chen, next time I come, you must finish telling this story." Wang Junyuan said reluctantly.

Chen Lang nodded: "Don't worry, next time you come, you will definitely be able to listen to the whole story."

Wang Junyuan became happy and said, "It's settled then. I'll sneak out again in a few days."

After that, he left in a hurry.

Chen Lang raised three fingers towards Wang Junyuan's back: "Thirty percent."

It is said that after Wang Junyuan returned home and entered his courtyard, he saw his sister Wang Shiru sitting on a stone bench with a ruler on the stone table.

Wang Junyuan turned around and ran without thinking.

Wang Shiru said slowly, "Come back to me."

This sentence was like a spell from God, instantly freezing Wang Junyuan in place.

After a moment, Wang Junyuan turned around and called out "sister" dejectedly.

Wang Shiru picked up the ruler on the table and said coldly, "You are getting bolder and bolder. You dare to sneak out?"

"Where did you go today?"

Wang Junyuan whispered, "I'm going to listen to a book."

Wang Shiru snorted, "Sure enough, he went to Guhong Tower again."

“Are the stories about that place really that good?”

Wang Junyuan said, "It sounds good. It sounds especially good."

"There was a monkey called the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. After he died, he transformed into six beings. Then a man of destiny came and went to find his own beings... After arriving at the Silken Web Cave, he met the fourth sister of the spider spirit..."

Don't be fooled by Wang Junyuan's young age. This kid has a really good memory. He can retell a story in full detail even if he has only heard it once.

When Wang Junyuan stopped, Wang Shi instinctively asked, "What's next?"

Wang Junyuan chuckled and said, "Sister, you think this story is good too."

Wang Shiru was a little embarrassed because she had never been interested in this story.

"Who told you this story?" Wang Shiru changed the subject.

"Brother Chen." Wang Junyuan said.

"That Brother Chen?"

"Chen Lang."

Wang Shiru asked, "The one that wrote the Water Melody Song Head?"

Wang Junyuan nodded repeatedly: "That's him."

"Sister, he's a talented man. It's not unreasonable for me to be in contact with him."

Wang Shiru said, "Well, it doesn't count."

"Can I still go tomorrow?" Wang Junyuan asked expectantly.

Wang Shiru blushed slightly and said, "You can go, but you have to do me a favor."

Wang Junyuan asked, "What's the matter?"

"Bring back the second half of the Water Melody Song."

This poem has almost become a source of worry for Wang Shiru, and she is eager to know the content of the next stanza.

Although Guhonglou is a legitimate tavern, it is not a place where a girl like Wang Shiru can enter casually.

As for visiting Chen Lang directly, it is also inappropriate.

Because this poem was originally a gimmick of Guhonglou, Chen Lang had no reason to tell him the second half of the poem.

If we don’t find out the answer, it will bring shame to the Wang family.

His younger brother was young, so if he went to ask, even if Chen Lang didn't tell him, he wouldn't blame him. At most, he would just say "you are young and reckless", and there would be no other impact.

Wang Junyuan was overjoyed and said, "Sister, do you really agree to let me go?"

Wang Shiru said, "Finish all the homework assigned by the teacher, then you can go."

"Oh, sister is the best." Wang Junyuan danced with excitement.

Wang Shiru snorted and said with a stern face: "But you ran away secretly today, you deserve to be punished!"

"Hands out!"

Wang Junyuan's smile froze on his face in an instant.

Just as Wang Shiru was about to slap her brother's palm, the housekeeper ran over and said, "Miss, something big has happened."

Wang Shiru asked, "What's wrong?"

"The Liao Kingdom is going to use its military force against us!"
