[Shen Jian] Plum rain

The elderly Liu Yanchang certainly knows that he is old.He has lived to be in his early forties now, ten years dedicated to growing up, ten years to live in the cold window, and more than 20 years to invest in his precious son.But the result seems to be unsatisfactory. His wealth management products were disliked by Yang Jian at the beginning, so he didn't mention it. Now he has gone astray, and changed his role from the winner of life who married a fairy. It is hard to describe.

For example, yesterday evening, if it was a normal family, his wife Yang Chan and son Chen Xiang should have been waiting.But due to various reasons, he waited for Erlang God Yang Jian and his son Chen Xiang.Although Erlangshen is his brother-in-law, and although Yang Chan is unable to accompany Huashan because of his busy schedule, Liu Yanchang always feels that the current family combination is not quite right.

Another example is today, Chen Xiang went out early in the morning and failed to take Yang Jian away like yesterday, so only Liu Yanchang and Yang Jian were left in the family.However, Yang Jian went up to the mountain with Chen Xiang yesterday to observe and cut firewood, probably because he was tired, when he got up, he heard that Chen Xiang had left, and his acting skills were excellent, so he actually set up a nephew stone at the door of his house.

As a result, although he didn't know what Yang Jian was thinking, Liu Yanchang felt cold, sad, heartbroken, anxious, pleasing to the eye, and heartbroken. Regardless of the past grievances, he went up and said: "Brother, the humidity outside is heavy. Come in and sit down."

In fact, before he opened his mouth to speak, Liu Yanchang was ready to be ignored. After all, Chen Xiang is not at home now, and Yang Jian can completely reveal his true colors, so there is no need to continue the performance.Surprisingly, Yang Jian looked at him, nodded in agreement, and obediently went back to his room, with a gentle expression the whole time, and had no intention of sending Liu Yanchang to the eighteenth floor of hell again.

Perhaps, a qualified actor should hone his acting skills in his life. The so-called never leave his hands and his mouth, how can he act in the Three Realms if he doesn't act in one room?That's the reason.

But after Yang Jian entered the room, Liu Yanchang only relaxed for more than an hour.Because it was approaching noon, he had to start thinking about lunch.

For lunch, there is no doubt that his son is not here so he doesn't need to do his part, but what about Yang Jian?Although he is a god and doesn't eat grains, he is also a guest. If he suddenly wants to eat a meal, should he tell him that he didn't do his part, or should he empty the rice jar and show him the bottom line?Both approaches are not very good, Liu Yanchang is very contradictory.In the end, he decided to be brave enough to ask Yang Jian for his opinion.As a result, as soon as he approached the room that Yang Jian temporarily packed up to live in two days ago, he heard a faint coughing sound.

Liu Yanchang's brows knit together again.That's right, Yang Jian is a god, even if he has any minor ailments and pains, he doesn't need to worry about him as a mortal, but he is still feeling uncomfortable at this moment——No matter what, this is his wife's brother, his brother-in-law, He is the son's uncle.Letting him lock himself up in his room while he was sick, is this still the Liu family's way of hospitality?

At least it doesn't fit Liu Yanchang's behavior.He put his ear to the door and listened for a while, but couldn't get over the barrier in his heart, took a deep breath and knocked on the door: "Brother-in-law, it's me..."

As a result, as soon as he entered the door, the weak scholar Liu Yanchang was stunned by the scene in front of him.

He originally thought that Yang Jian was sick, so weak that he was coughing and wheezing, tossing and turning, and in a trance; but he didn't expect that he coughed and coughed, but he was actually sitting on the head of the bed, teasing...a squirrel.

Wait, why are there squirrels? !

These words were clearly written on Liu Yanchang's shocked expression.Yang Jian understood it at a glance, and explained: "I brought it back from the mountain yesterday." When Liu Yanchang was stunned, he asked, "Can't I raise it?"

The judiciary god, who has always been fierce, seemed innocent, and asked very cautiously.I have never seen such a powerful Erlang God in the Three Realms, Liu Yanchang quickly re-soldered the brain nerve that was broken just now, and replied: "It can, can be raised, no problem. It's just that wild ones are easy to raise to death, brother-in-law... ..."

No, no, no.Yang Jian is a god, can raising a mortal squirrel still raise it to death? !Liu Yanchang quickly changed the subject: "Brother-in-law, do you want to have lunch?"

Yang Jian seemed a little surprised when he heard his question, but he still gave an answer: "I don't need to eat." He also gave a very good reason, "It's uncomfortable to eat."

"Oh, okay," Liu Yanchang came here to achieve his goal, and he should have left, but he just didn't know how to end this awkward conversation, and finally forced his son to use him as a shield, "Chen Xiang is going to a private school today. I learned calligraphy from my husband, and I go ten days a month, but don’t worry, I don’t go consecutively, he will be at home tomorrow.”

I don't know if these words are comforting Yang Jian or comforting himself, in short, tomorrow will not be as difficult as today.After Liu Yanchang finished speaking, he watched Yang Jian fiddle with the squirrel's tail and squirrel's chin. He wondered if he didn't hear it, so he thought about how to say goodbye now.However, this idea just came to the fore, and Yang Jian replied: "Did you ask him to learn calligraphy?"

There was no other way, so Liu Yanchang had no choice but to continue chatting with Yang Jian: "Li Zi Li Ren, although he is too old to enter a private school, learning some calligraphy will be of great benefit and harmless to him."

Yang Jian nodded, seeming to agree with Liu Yanchang's statement.The short conversation finally came to an end, Liu Yanchang was about to leave, but was caught off guard by Yang Jian's killing him.

——My brother-in-law said: "Brother-in-law."

OK, brother-in-law.It was the first time in 20 years that Liu Yanchang could hear these two words. His mind went blank for a moment, and his whole body began to tremble slightly.

But now it is different from the past, in the past he was mostly trembling with fear, but today he is trembling with excitement.

Yang Jian actually agreed to recognize him as his brother-in-law. Did the sun come out from the west today? ——Of course not, the light rain has wet the ground at home, and the feet are slippery when walking, so where does the sun come from?

In the blink of an eye, Liu Yanchang thought of many possibilities and more contexts, all of which rushed into his brain, knocking him into a dazed and confused state.But in the end, all the speculations rose and receded like a tide, and he didn't even have a bit of reason left on the shore.

He could only attribute it to the fact that this was still an impromptu performance by Yang Jian.

It's time to cooperate.

Liu Yanchang responded with difficulty: "...Brother-in-law?"

Yang Jian smiled nicely: "Do me a favor."

Liu Yanchang was already confused by the word "brother-in-law", and then hit home plate by this smile, completely gave up thinking: "Okay."

So about half a quarter of an hour later, he appeared in a small vegetable garden in front of the house with an umbrella, and began to bury his head in finding food for the squirrels.As for his own lunch?Of course, he would rather starve himself than let Yang Jian's pet starve.

However, at any rate, this day passed without any risk.Before dinner, Liu Yanchang really thought so.

When Chen Xiang came back, Liu Yanchang, who worked so hard to prepare the dinner and put it on the dining table, accidentally saw half a piece of yellow paper stuck to his heel.

The home of the private school teacher is in the north of the village, while the only temple in Liujia Village is in the east of the village.

□□The bucket burst.

Of course, when it explodes, it is a squib.

Liu Yanchang silently took out the ruler from the drawer of the dining table and hid the ruler behind him, pretending that nothing happened: "Where did you go today?"

The precious son didn't notice anything was wrong, but he didn't intend to lie at all, so he confessed, "I went to the temple."

"There are two east and west halls in the temple, which hall did you go to?"

"I've visited all of them, and it's rare to go there once," Chen Xiang replied, "Father, the calligraphy teacher asked me to deliver things to the abbot today, so I can't be blamed."

Liu Yanchang crossed off a charge of "truancy" for Chen Xiang, but he couldn't bear it any longer, rolled up his sleeves, took out the ruler, and slapped heavily on the table.Chen Xiang was so surprised that he didn't even dare to drink the porridge: "Father, what are you doing?!"

Liu Yanchang was anxious: "Let me tell you, what mistakes did you make today!"

Chen Xiang said: "Father, please speak slowly, don't get angry first, okay?"

"No!" However, the more persuasive Chen Xiang was, the more angry Liu Yanchang became, "First, have you forgotten what your mother told you before she left?!"

Injustice!Chen Xiang immediately explained: "Father, I remember, I really remember. Mother forbids me to enter the temple, especially not to meet the Jade Emperor..."

"What's the use of remembering, knowing that the Jade Emperor is enshrined in the East Hall, you dare to go," Liu Yanchang said angrily, "Come here, I must teach you a lesson today!"

Chen Xiang looked at that posture, his father really intended to beat him violently.Although he didn't want to be beaten, as long as his father didn't get angry, it wouldn't be difficult for him to be beaten; finally he made up his mind - his father's health was the most important thing.

But he was still poor-mouthed after all, and while obediently stretching out his hand, he still asked, "Then dad, what's the second?"

"—You!" Liu Yanchang couldn't speak out, he was so confused just now, he didn't know what he said, let alone logic, "There is no second!" He raised his ruler while speaking.

However, it was killed in the cradle at the first hit.Chen Xiang wondered why his father didn't do anything, but saw him looking behind him with straight eyes, followed his gaze in puzzlement, only to find that it was his uncle standing behind him.

He didn't know when he came here, and judging from Liu Yanchang's expression, he probably felt that Yang Jian was haunted: He was playing with his squirrel in the room just now, and he didn't even have a sense of existence, so why did he run away all of a sudden? Out?

Not only ran out, but also took care of the family affairs of the Liu family and his son.Liu Yanchang was stunned for a while, and was about to explain the original intention of his actions to Erlangshen, when he turned around and left without saying a word.

Even though Yang Jian didn't say a word, and even his expression was lackluster, Liu Yanchang just understood the meaning of his move—to ask Liu Yanchang to follow and have something to talk about.

Even if he looks at the Three Realms, there are only a handful of people who dare to disobey his orders from the God of Judiciary.Liu Yanchang used to be one of them, but not anymore.

Liu Yanchang had no choice but to put down the ruler, and ordered Chen Xiang to continue eating dinner, while he followed Yang Jian into the back room.Before closing the door, Liu Yanchang glanced at Chen Xiang, met his son's surprised eyes for a moment, and sighed silently in his heart.

Chen Xiang has been very sensitive since she was a child, and Yang Jian's cold expression just now has been captured by Chen Xiang.What's even more strange is that although Yang Jian is only a distant relative and usually doesn't show any signs of dew, Chen Xiang finally saw it clearly after a conflict just now: in this family, although his father is the head of the family, this so-called distant uncle Obviously overwhelmed his father; the uncle could easily suppress his father's anger without even saying a word.

He clearly made Liu Yanchang dare not be angry anymore with his stronger power.

Liu Yanchang was well aware of all this.What happened in front of his son, on the one hand, he felt embarrassing, on the other hand, he began to worry whether Chen Xiang would have a prejudice against Yang Jian because of this, and how he would get along with him in the next few days.

The door is closed.Liu Yanchang glanced over the squirrel, and heard Yang Jian ask, "What's going on."

His tone was so flat that he could barely hear the question.Liu Yanchang was very familiar with such Erlang God, so he quickly adapted, and replied: "The Third Holy Mother ordered him not to enter the temple."

After hearing this, Yang Jian immediately figured out the pros and cons: "Is she worried that the Jade Emperor will bring up the old story again?"

"Chen Xiang has no magic power now, if the Jade Emperor thinks of him, it will be too late to charge him with a crime and send him to hell." Liu Yanchang is also helpless, "San Shengmu said that the Jade Emperor was cruel to his father-in-law and his mother-in-law back then Uncertainty, so even if a new rule of heaven is born, we must not let our guard down, we must follow the rules. One day in the sky, one year in the earth, at least ten years of precautions."

ten years.After hearing this, Yang Jian actually smiled: "Do you think I'm dead, or do you think I'm dead?"

"Brother-in-law, what does this mean..." Liu Yanchang was slightly startled, "We never thought about it that way."

"If you haven't thought about it, how can you think that as long as you don't enter the temple and don't see the golden body, you can avoid disasters and eliminate disasters? You are confused, and Sanmei is also confused!"

Amidst Erlang God's usual anger, Liu Yanchang nodded repeatedly, even though he didn't quite agree with it - after all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and what Yang Chan said was of course more correct than what Yang Jian said.

But after that, Yang Jian didn't speak any more.Liu Yanchang didn't know what he was thinking, waited for a while, but heard a soft sigh.

"Don't think so much. Zhang Bairen dare not."

Liu Yanchang raised his eyes in surprise.His brother-in-law is Erlang God who obeys the instructions but does not listen to the announcement, the judicial god in charge of the three realms, but he is also his wife's brother.Now, probably as a family member, he said this extremely short but immediate reassurance.

It gets dark early in the rainy season, and through the dark twilight that leaks through the window, Liu Yanchang seems to see a bit of rare tenderness from Yang Jian's always cold brows.

...or maybe, there was also the rendering of the sound of rain in his ears, subtly softening his eyes, his emotions, and his heart.

His useless mortal heart, knowing that immortals and mortals have different paths, was stubbornly moved by love; now 20 years have passed, but he has repeated the same mistakes, knowing that Yang Jian's acting skills are outstanding, but he is always moved by him inadvertently.

For example, now, although Liu Yanchang was vacillating, he finally chose to trust Yang Jian instead of his wife Yang Chan.

He nodded: "I see, brother-in-law."

Perhaps time wasted, Liu Yanchang was so stubborn in the past that he refused to give in, but now he is obedient to Yang Jian's words.Yang Jian was also quite surprised, but he didn't go into it deeply. Thinking of Liu Yanchang's actions just now, he warned: "The child is the weakest, so it is not appropriate to punish him physically. Let's forget about today's matter. Don't forget when I am not around."

Of course Liu Yanchang didn't understand such a simple truth, but just now he was so angry that he forgot all his weak crowns and only knew that his son made mistakes and didn't take his own life seriously.Now that Yang Jian reminded him, Liu Yanchang said in his heart that he would go with the flow and stop fighting when he went out. He said it was his uncle's persuasion, which was to help Yang Jian gain his favorability in front of his nephew again.

After finishing the manuscript, Liu Yanchang opened the door and went out, and saw Chen Xiang sitting at the table drinking porridge from a bowl.The conversation between him and Yang Jian wasn't too long, but it wasn't very short either, but Chen Xiang still had more than half of the porridge in the bowl after drinking it.Liu Yanchang's heart was like a mirror, he sat down calmly and asked, "What have you heard?"

When Chen Xiang heard the words, she stopped pretending: "I didn't hear clearly, but I heard him tell you not to beat me."

Fortunately, he didn't listen to the previous words.Liu Yanchang said: "You don't need to fight, but you still have to reflect. Can't you listen to what your parents say?"

After making a fuss just now, Chen Xiang didn't dare to refute, just agreed.Liu Yanchang saw him nodding his head like a pest, laughed angrily, and finally brought the matter to light.After Chen Xiang had dinner, Liu Yanchang was washing the dishes, and suddenly he heard his son jokingly say: "Father, actually I think uncle is not as good as you."

Not as good as him?Yang Jian?This is the first time Liu Yanchang has heard this analogy, and he finds it fresh: "What is similar?"

"It's the fact that he told you not to hit me." Chen Xiang spread out the rice paper and rubbed ink, "I think, father, you usually remember that I am an adult, but he doesn't remember at all. It's just that when you moved your hand just now, he felt I should find a reason to stop it, so I just remembered that I am already twenty."

"..." actually made some sense, "How do you know he doesn't treat you as an adult?"

Chen Xiang said: "I can see that he really wants to make me happy, to make me chat with him, but unfortunately his skill is not good enough. I think in his eyes, maybe I am only fifteen or sixteen years old."

Fifteen or sixteen years old was the age when Chen Xiang first met Yang Jian after growing up.Perhaps in the eyes of the gods, a hundred years is just a snap of the fingers, so even Yang Jian still treats Chen Xiang as 16 years old, which is perfectly normal.

It can even be said that he is a little nostalgic?

Chen Xiang dipped the ink and picked up the pen, and wrote a large character:

rain.
