After joining Hades

A group of people thought Zhou Wei was joking at first, until Wen Bai nodded.

"Then Mr. Zhong came to worship the City God?" Qi Tian couldn't help asking.

"He came to visit my grandfather," Zhou Wei pointed to the candlestick, and said the reason he had thought up early in the morning, "He is the temple guard of the Town God's Temple."

Everyone: "..."

Seeing everyone's different expressions, Zhou Wei was nervous for a moment.

What is wrong with what he said?

Strictly speaking, he didn't lie either. The Zhong family was brought here by Lin Qiu, and in the name of Zhengtianguan, it was his grandfather who had been on good terms with Zhengtianguan.

Just as Zhou Wei was about to speak, Dai Xiaolu had already stepped forward.

He patted him on the shoulder with a serious face: "Stop doing side jobs."

Zhou Weixin said that as expected, they were still incapable of accepting these ghostly things.

I also secretly rejoiced, fortunately, the matter of the coffin shop has not been said yet.

But Zhou Wei also understood, otherwise he wouldn't have kept his "three generations in the coffin" secret for four years in college.

"I also..." Occasionally come over to help when I am busy.

But Zhou Wei couldn't say the last few words.

Because the words have been interrupted by Dai Xiaolu: "Let's do the main business."

Zhou Wei: "..."

Wen Bai: "..."

Lu Zheng: "..."

The people over there have already nodded repeatedly.

Zhou Wei heard someone say again: "It's best to bring me one."

"Yes, if possible, I can buy shares on the spot."

"By the way, do I have to exchange incense for my shareholding in the City God's Temple? How much incense do I have to offer to make me feel familiar in front of the City God?"

"Being able to make friends with the Zhong family, you actually treat it as a side job, you really don't know what to do!"

Zhou Wei: "..."

He was so full that he racked his brains on how to hide it from the group of people in front of him.

"However, Ah Wei, to be honest, when I thought that this Town God's Temple was opened by your family, I suddenly felt that this City God master... Well, he is quite down-to-earth." Qi Tian rubbed his chin, "I can't describe the feeling."

Everyone felt the same.

If I have to say it, it seems to be a sentence that was often ridiculed in the past: When I think that the doctors, teachers, and professors many years later may be my classmates who forwarded the koi during the exam and cried and begged not to fail the exam, my heart aches. fell into deep anxiety.

I even feel that this Town God's Temple has become simple.

Kexiang still has to go.

With Zhou Wei at the side, everyone's incense is very neat.

When he knew that this incense was a co-branded product of Zhengtianguan, Zhou Wei's desire to turn his side business into his main business became stronger.

The reason is that one day I saw Ah Wei’s name on the alumni honor wall, and other people’s biographies wrote about business tycoons and financial tycoons, but he was the only one who wrote about the owner of the Town God’s Temple.

Zhou Wei almost slapped the incense ash on their foreheads.

After offering incense, the boys began to study the layout of the Town God's Temple, while the girls sat in twos and threes in a tea booth in the courtyard drinking tea.

The old Chenghuang, that is, Zhou Wei's grandfather, has no other hobbies on weekdays. Apart from tinkering with handicrafts, the only thing that can be called a hobby is drinking tea.

When they knew that Lu Zheng, Wen Bai and Zhou Wei were coming, they prepared some new tea and specially brought a small bucket of Shanshui over.

After drinking a cup of tea, the whole body warmed up, and the girls called the boys to come with them.

The number of people in the tea pavilion gradually increased, and a few stone benches were not enough. Fortunately, everyone didn't pick them up. Some squatted squatting, and those leaning on the pillars leaned on the pillars.

Making tea and listening to the rain is much more pleasant than imagined.

It's just that as he listened, he unconsciously turned his gaze back to Wen Bai and Lu Zheng.

When Lu Zheng answered a call from Di Ting and got up together, several girls surrounded him.

"Xiaobai, can I ask?" Qian Menglin was arrogant and had a good relationship with Wen Bai, so she simply asked, "How long have you been with Boss Lu?"

If Qian Menglin hadn't mentioned it, Wen Bai really hadn't thought about it, he thought for a while, and said, "Not long."

He didn't bother to remember either.

Several girls: "Huh?"

Wen Bai: "What's wrong?"

Qian Menglin shook her head: "We thought you had been together for a long time."

Wen Bai was a little curious: "Why?"

Qian Menglin didn't speak for a long time.

Just when Wen Bai thought she would not answer, she opened her mouth: "Because it looks like they have been together for a long time."

Wen Bai was a little dumbfounded.

Qian Menglin herself also found it a little funny: "Does it sound like you didn't answer?"

Wen Bai nodded.

"Frankly speaking, this is the answer I gave you after thinking about it for a long time." Qian Menglin took a sip of tea and said seriously.

She couldn't explain that feeling.

Just alike.

But apart from the fact that the two of them held hands at the beginning, and Boss Lu wrapped a scarf around Xiao Bai, the two of them didn't have much intimacy, but it just made people feel that they had been together for a long time.

Among them, there are actually many couples who have been together for several years. As for herself, she has been in a relationship for several years, but she never felt this way.

It seems that it is not very accurate to use time to describe it. In the end, Qian Menglin still attributed it to the word "matching".

"It's not that we've been together for a long time, it's that we've known each other for a long time." Zhou Wei whispered with one hand on his lips.

When everyone heard that there was gossip to listen to, they immediately pricked up their ears: "How do you say it?"

Qian Menglin pondered Zhou Wei's words.

It has only been half a year since I graduated from Xiaobai.

In the past six months, Zhou Wei should not have used the words "I've known him for a long time".

Qian Menglin made a guess: "Didn't I know you before you joined the job?"

Wen Bai thought for a while, then responded with a light smile: "En."

Speaking of it, it is true that we knew each other thousands of years ago.

It's just that he met his boyfriend thousands of years ago after a thousand years.

Qian Menglin held the cup: "I never heard you mention it!"

Wen Bai: "Because I only found out later."

Several girls looked at each other.

I only found out later... Obviously there was an intersection before but I didn't notice it.

"This is fate."

"Damn, I didn't believe in fate."

After meeting Lu Zheng, Wen Bai felt that he always heard the word "fate".

Wen Bai subconsciously turned his head to look at Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng just put down the phone.

The two looked at each other, and Wen Bai smiled lightly.

He didn't believe it before.

A group of people came here with great difficulty. After drinking tea and snacks, they wandered around the village again. It was already afternoon.

In the end, Zhou Wei was the host and chose a farm restaurant, which was located in the upper reaches of the only stream in Zhuangxing Village.

Authentic Nancheng taste, everyone is happy to eat.

Cheng Cheng and the others felt that Zhuangxing Village might not look very big, but the scenery is really nice.

Zhou Weile responded with a chuckle.

They may not know it, but as the city god, he knows it very well.

Hundreds of years ago, the people of Nancheng spontaneously built so many city god temples, but the old city god chose this place alone, so there is a reason for it.

This Zhuangxing village is not only good in landscape, but also good in Fengshui.

By the time we had eaten our fill, the sky had completely darkened.

The sky in the suburbs seemed to be getting darker sooner, and it was raining again. At six or seven o'clock, it was already pitch black outside.

The boys were taken by Zhou Wei to drive outside, only Wen Bai, Lu Zheng and a few girls were left at the restaurant entrance.

After a meal, a group of people also found out that Boss Lu was indeed not very talkative.

He has a completely different temperament from Xiaobai, with a sense of alienation and distance, but that sense of alienation and distance is very measured, even thoughtful, and will not make people feel uncomfortable at all.

They were so thoughtful that they even dared to talk to Boss Lu directly.

The boys drove over, and Wen Bai sent some girls over.

Qian Menglin was at the end because she was watching the news on her mobile phone.

The moment Fang Leming's car door was opened, the movement stopped abruptly.

"Boss Lu." Qian Menglin suddenly called out.

Lu Zheng turned around and looked at her.

Qian Menglin called to stop, only to realize that she didn't seem to have anything to say.

There seems to be only one sentence if I have to say it.

Qian Menglin glanced at Wen Bai who was talking to Cheng Cheng, and made up her mind, "I just think you and Xiao Bai are a good match."

Lu Zheng paused, then chuckled: "Thank you."

Qian Menglin: "You're welcome."

Just as he was speaking, the window of the driver's cab was lowered.

Fang Leming's face was illuminated by the lights of the rearview mirror.

He tapped his fingers on the steering wheel in a random way, looking a little nervous.

Fang Leming thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth: "Boss Lu, you should treat Xiaobai better."

After finishing speaking, he didn't dare to look at Lu Zheng, and didn't listen to Lu Zheng's reply, he just raised the window of the car.

Qian Menglin laughed.

She pointed to the position of the car window, and joked: "This is what Le Ming said, not me."

From the corner of the eye, Qian Menglin caught a glimpse of Wen Bai walking towards this side, Qian Menglin hurried into the car, and at the moment of closing the door, added another sentence: "But we almost mean the same thing, Xiaobai is soft-tempered, Boss Lu, don't bully him."

After finishing speaking, he closed the car door with a "snap" and slipped away.

When Wen Bai came over, he only saw a waving hand protruding from the car window.

Wen Bai: "?"

"What did Menglin and Leming tell you?" He seemed to have vaguely heard something like "I didn't say it" and "Don't bully" just now, but he didn't hear it clearly.

Lu Zheng smiled and shook his head.

Wen Bai: "?"

When Xi San came back, Zhou Wei was dragged away by the restaurant owner to light incense, only Wen Bai and Lu Zheng walked back slowly along the river.

There is only one river in Zhuangxing Village, which meanders from the head to the end of the village. It is said that it has been flowing for more than 100 years, and it has not changed much until now.

They came here in the morning and took the main road, so Wen Bai didn't know that there was a stone arch bridge here.

Not far from the other side of the river is the Temple of the City God.

"There's also a stele." Wen Bai stepped forward.

Lu Zheng saw that he was reading seriously, and smiled: "What did you write?"

Wen Bai leaned over and said, "It should be the name of the bridge."

With the meager light, Wen Bai took a look.

Lu Zheng tilted the umbrella towards Wen Bai's body, preventing the rain from falling on him.

Wen Bai straightened up and stood in front of the stele: "Guess what this bridge is called."

Lu Zheng: "Zhuang Xingqiao."

Wen Bai blinked: "Did you see it?"

Lu Zheng brought his boyfriend back from the stone tablet: "I heard it."

When he leaned over to look at him before, he said to himself, "If it's not possible, I'll call it Zhuang Xingqiao", and when he got up, he asked him, and he could only call him by this name.

Wen Bai smiled.

Zhuangxing Village and Zhuangxing Bridge, although there are no surprises or joys, they are also realistic.

The two climbed up the stairs.

The bridge deck is not wide, and it seems a bit narrow for two people walking.

The river has been flowing for a hundred years, but the bridge has been built for an unknown period of time. Maybe it was raining, and the bridge deck was somewhat waterlogged. The two walked very slowly.

When Wen Bai reached the very center, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

When he was on the shore, he still felt that there was no surprise or joy, but when he got here, his heart skipped a beat.

On the other side is the repainted and repaired Chenghuang Temple.

The temple door was open, and from this angle, one could see rows of red candles burning inside, illuminating the red pillars outside.

Bridges, rivers, lights, rainy days, and deserted alleys.

Everything seems to have returned to that rainy night thousands of years ago.

Wen Bai suddenly called softly: "Lu Zheng."

Lu Zheng: "Huh?"

Wen Bai didn't speak for a long time.

The moment the man stopped, he also stopped.

Let him watch without asking why he stopped.

It was as if no matter what he did, he would accompany him.

"Tired?" Lu Zheng took Wen Bai's hand that was a little chilled by the wind.

The two interlocked their fingers.

Wen Bai shook his head: "No."

He looked at Lu Zheng.

It was dark all around, Lu Zheng's brows and eyes were not clear, but Wen Bai knew that he was very close to him.

Wen Bai smiled: "I just want to call you."

Thousands of years ago, across the bridge and the rain curtain, the incomplete shout of "Lu Zheng" seemed to have suddenly come to fruition.
