You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

The big red lanterns were hung up, and the small temple on the locust tree took on red. Instead of looking weird, it looked full of righteousness.

The red five-pointed star on the octagonal hat of the warrior in the temple flashed, as if to thank Su Chen.

Su Chen respectfully lit three incense sticks and offered them as tribute before disappearing.

The next time he appeared was in front of the mountain temple.

The flowers in front of the simple mountain temple had withered and there were quite a few fallen leaves. Su Chen cleaned them up a bit and found two longer branches to hang the lanterns on.

Perhaps his emotional knot was untied, the mountain god revealed his true form and circled around two branches.

"Isn't there a candle in this lantern?"

"Well, it's a small light bulb that runs on batteries." Su Chen explained.

"That's great! This way we don't have to worry about the wind starting a wildfire."

"It seems like there have been a lot of changes outside Longshan~"

Su Chen nodded: "It is very big. Lord Mountain God, when you recover, would you like to go out for a walk?"

"Recovery? That will probably take a long time."

"Don't worry, just let it happen naturally."

The two of them talked about the little dragon in Longshan.

"It's hiding in a cave. There's a pool inside, and it loves to bathe in it."

"I would sneak out at night and take advantage of the broken glass bottles stuck on other people's walls, prying off dozens of them."

"It's so naughty, it won't listen when you talk to it~"

Su Chen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he heard this.

The mountain god asked Su Chen, "Dragon Mountain now has dragon energy. Master Su, would you like to move in?"

"After all, with your ability, you can get out of the mountain quickly now."

Su Chen smiled bitterly: "I do think so, but it's a pity, I still have five children who need to go to school."

The mountain god paused and sighed, "They need to learn to read and write. I heard that there were educated youth in the two villages who could teach children to read and write, but now they are all gone..."

"I don't know when there will be a school in the village. The children are too young. It's too hard for them to go to school by climbing over so many mountains."

……

Su Chen joked: "But if the children all study and leave the mountain, there will be no one to support you in the future."

"There are no children, but there are squirrels and birds."

"Besides, with the merits you gave me, Master Su, I can hold on for a very long time."

After bidding farewell to the mountain god, Su Chen came to the banyan tree in Qingshan Village. As soon as he hung up the lantern, he felt something wrapped around it.

Looking closely, it turned out to be the little dragon with a blue back and a red belly that liked to break glass bottles.

Xiaolong crawled into the lantern and stared at the glowing light bulb curiously. After looking for a while, he crawled out and circled around Su Chen's neck.

"hiss~"

The voice it made was actually like that of a mountain god, and Su Chen couldn't help laughing.

You are a dragon, why are you acting like a snake?

"You like it?"

"hiss~"

"Wait a minute, I'll buy you a pair. This one belongs to the old tree, so you can't take it."

"Hissssss~"

Su Chen's figure disappeared. When the old man who had just walked out of the land temple saw him, he was stunned and rubbed his eyes suspiciously.

"Are your eyes blurry again?"

Su Chen returned to Chunming Street and bought ten pairs of red lanterns in one go. After thinking for a while, he went to Boss Zhao's shop and found some nice toys to buy for Xiaolong.

Under the banyan tree, the old man felt a flash before his eyes, and a familiar face appeared.

He froze.

Su Chen smiled and nodded at the old man, then spread out the things he brought under the banyan tree.

The little dragon swinging on the banyan tree's leaves immediately flew down and started picking and destroying things.

Su Chen watched as the shell buttons on the plush toy were picked off and the pearl earrings on the doll's ears were bitten off, and he held his forehead with his hands.

"Hiss hiss hiss~" After the little dragon finished picking, it curled its tail, barked at Su Chen twice, and flew away.

Su Chen looked at the messy stuffed toys and dolls and shrugged helplessly.

It can be seen that this little dragon likes shiny things.

Su Chen packed up the stuffed toys and dolls and asked Lao Shu to put them away.

After all, he has a godson, and the boy named Goudan from the Sun family might like him.

Turning around, Su Chen met the old man's surprised eyes: "Old man, long time no see."

The old man blinked: "You, you, you, you really are..."

"Yes, it's me. The New Year is coming soon. I'd like to wish you a happy New Year and all the best."

"Hey hey hey, you too, you too."

"Well, old man, I'm leaving first."

Before the old man could fully react, his eyes flashed again. When he looked carefully, there was no trace of Su Chen.

Even when I looked towards the banyan tree, I no longer saw a pile of lanterns and toys.

The old man was stunned.

The Chinese New Year is pretty good, but others... don’t seem to be doing so well. It feels like a dream.

When Su Chen returned to Chunming Street, before he even sat down, A Biao came to pull him away.

"My mom and Akui cooked a lot of dishes, brothers, come and have some."

Wang Haitao laughed and rubbed his hands: "Then I won't be polite, but wait a moment..."

He trotted back with two bottles of wine.

People are happy when they are happy.

A Biao's mother Lian Zhenzhen was smiling from ear to ear the whole time, as if she had picked up thousands of dollars.

However, when he saw that A Biao wanted to drink, he winked and asked him to ask A Kui if he could drink.

Su Chen: "..."

I already have a premonition that Brother Biao will live a life dominated by his wife in the future.

"Drink it, drink it, just two bottles will be fine."

Over there, Ah Biao and Wang Haitao toasted happily, while Lian Zhenzhen quietly asked Su Chen, "Master Su, do you think my grandson will..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Akui looked up and even Zhenzhen laughed dryly.

Su Chen stuffed a mouthful of braised pork into his mouth, squinted his eyes in satisfaction, and then whispered: "Auntie, you shouldn't worry about your grandson now. My nephew won't be here until the end of next year. You should worry about your own money."

Lian Zhenzhen was surprised for a moment, and then her smile froze.

"money?"

Su Chen nodded: "Auntie, judging from your face, you will suffer a serious financial loss in the next three days."

"Ah? Then, what should I do?" Lian Zhenzhen became anxious. "That's the money I saved for my grandson!"

Because of her anxiety, her voice naturally became louder.

A Kui, A Biao and the others all looked over.

"Brother, what's wrong?" A Biao asked.

Su Chen gave a brief explanation.

Ah Biao was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked Lian Zhenzhen: "Mom, is Aunt Hui looking for you again?"

Lian Zhenzhen nodded subconsciously, then waved her hand: "Xiao Su is definitely not talking about your Aunt Hui. It's possible... she was robbed!"

"Yes, yes, there must be a thief trying to steal my money. No, I need to find another place to store the money."

A Biao put down the wine bowl: "Mom, do you really believe what Aunt Hui said? Ning An had an accident before about the bidding club. It's not safe."

Lian Zhenzhen glared at him, "Don't talk nonsense. Your Aunt Hui has been our neighbor for decades. How could she cheat us out of our money?"

"And the interest rate isn't high, so there's no chance of anything going wrong."

A Biao was speechless and looked at Su Chen for help.

"Brother, why don't you take a look at my mom? She's too trusting and stubborn, and I can't persuade her."

Ah Kui nodded and said, "Mom, why don't we ask the master to calculate it? If it really isn't a problem with the club, Ah Biao won't be able to say anything to you anymore."
