Chapter 249 Passing on Skills in Mashan Village
"Grandma Dongmei, what are you talking about?"
"Hey, it's Chuwa! Let me tell you, Feng Er's big yellow dog ran away from its nest again last night."
"And another thing, you have to keep an eye on that Tiger. That kid didn't come back all night. His dad chased him with a fire poker first thing this morning. If I were Fengfang, I would have smashed my head against this pillar and died."
After saying that, she gave Chu Chen a wink, as if afraid that Chu Chen would tell anyone.
Chu Chen chuckled after hearing this. This power was too damn strong. He would be driven crazy by these people, if not by Hu Zi.
"By the way, Chuwa, what are you doing carrying this speaker?"
Before Chu Chen could speak, an old man standing nearby looked at the square dance speaker in Chu Chen's hand and said...
"Third Master, you even know this is called a stereo system."
"Of course! Everyone in the village knows about the great stuff you, Chu, have come up with."
"Haha, everyone, I've brought you something fun today."
After saying that, he dragged a table out of the auditorium and placed it under the tree.
Then a deck of cards was placed on top.
Then, they pulled those middle-aged women and grandmothers directly into the auditorium.
"Grandma Dongmei, are you looking at those old ladies on the screen? That's called square dancing. Dancing a lot can prolong your life and improve your health."
Chu Chen turned on the square dance speaker that had a screen and a USB drive.
Suddenly, a piece of melodious music began to play, and slowly, the elderly women were completely mesmerized.
Gradually, their bodies began to twist involuntarily.
Chu Chen was secretly astonished by this scene. It seems that square dancing has a strong appeal to middle-aged and elderly people of all eras.
"Alright, everyone, just follow the old lady on the screen and dance. I guarantee you'll live to be a hundred."
After speaking, Chu Chen walked out of the auditorium and came to the tree where the old men were sitting.
"Chuwa, what are you doing? You've called them all away. How are we supposed to live now?"
"Well, everyone, this time I've brought you something good."
After saying that, Chu Chen picked up the playing cards on the table and took them apart.
Instantly, driven by curiosity, several old men gathered around.
"Chu boy, what's this?"
"This is called poker. There are many ways to play it. Do you want to learn?"
Half a day later, the whole village became lively.
Inside the auditorium, the square dance music was playing loudly.
A group of elderly women were twisting and turning, sweating profusely, and thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Under that big tree, the chatter subsided.
But it's full of "calling the landlord", "bomb", "royal bomb".....................
Seeing this, Chu Chen believed that in less than half a month, these people would stop gossiping.
And those playing cards will become all the rage in Mashan Village.
Three days later, Chen Qingxuan leisurely returned to the entrance of Mashan Village.
Upon entering the village, I suddenly felt that the whole village had a different atmosphere.
The old women who used to sit under the trees at the village entrance are gone; only some old men remain, sitting quietly under the trees.
And from the auditorium came songs he found beautiful.
It seems everyone is busy.
He greeted everyone and walked straight toward the villa.
As he entered the villa, the people inside glanced up at him, then stared back at the small piece of paper in his hand.
Li Qinglian simply said to him politely, "The Taoist priest is back."
Then she turned away and ignored him.
Chen Qingxuan walked upstairs with a bewildered look on his face, only to see Chu Chen having a great time playing with Xiao Lan and Xiao Tao.
And what they were playing with were small pieces of paper that he had never seen before.
"What are you two idiots playing?"
"A royal flush! Hahaha, Young Master Xiaolan, give me the money!"
Xiao Tao was overjoyed and accepted the one tael of silver handed to her by Chu Chen and Xiao Lan.
"Xiao Lan, Xiao Tao, what are you playing?"
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Chen Qingxuan asked again.
"Oh, the Taoist priest is back. We're playing cards."
"Playing Landlord? Where did this landlord come from in Mashan Village...?"
Seeing that the time was right, Chu Chen turned around and pressed Chen Qingxuan down onto the stool.
"Xiao Lan, Xiao Tao, the young master is tired. You've already won more than twenty taels of silver. Let this drunkard keep you company for a while."
Before Chen Qingxuan could react, the little piece of paper was neatly arranged by Xiao Tao.
"Master Chen, come and we'll teach you!"
Although Chen Qingxuan was puzzled by the two young girls, he couldn't refuse them right away.
Then, the two of them began to teach Chen Qingxuan step by step.
Chu Chen then went into the tea room and brewed himself some tea.
A short while later, Chen Qingxuan rushed into the tea room, which was not closed: "You idiot, give me the money."
"Give me money? What money?"
"I've lost, stop talking nonsense and hurry up!"
Chen Qingxuan extended his hand to Chu Chen, looking as if he couldn't refuse.
"Uh, based on......."
"I stole so many jade stones from Ganpu for you, and you didn't give me a single tael of silver."
Before Chu Chen could finish speaking, Chen Qingxuan called out anxiously.
Helpless, Chu Chen waved his hand and pulled out a pile of loose silver coins, handing them to him.
When Chu Chen was promoting this poker game, he told them that small bets are fun, but big bets are harmful.
Playing with a little money is fine, but never gamble big.
The original intention was to enrich their lives, but if it resulted in the creation of a few gamblers, then it would be a net loss.
Chen Qingxuan grabbed the silver and slammed his fist on the table again.
As night fell, Chu Chen and his mother-in-law, Liu Damei, sat at the table eating, but the meal just didn't taste good.
Meanwhile, the others were having a great time and said they weren't hungry at all.
What fascinated me most was the wine bottle; in front of it lay a pile of loose silver and a bottle of wine.
He would take a bite every now and then, and occasionally give the loose silver coins in front of him to Xiaolan and Xiaotao.
Chu Chen glanced around briefly before diving into the blankets.
Alright, the grand plan is complete, time for bed.
Meanwhile, in Zhou Shixun's study in the capital, the lights were on full display.
"Master, you must be tired from this journey. I also feel sorry about what happened to your junior brother."
Zhou Shixun looked at Zhu Liuxiang and said.
"It doesn't matter. This boy's heart has changed. This is his fate."
"Your Majesty should be wary of that century. According to our investigation, his Tongtian Divine Cult has grown quite powerful. What if..."
Zhu Liuxiang looked at Zhou Shixun with a worried expression and said.
According to their information, so-called branch organizations of the Tongtian Divine Cult have appeared in every city.
Moreover, the people in the organization are either vicious and ruthless or skilled in martial arts.
Don't underestimate these people just because they may not amount to much individually. Once they come together, their power is not to be underestimated.
Zhou Shixun frowned deeply after hearing this: "Everything else in this century is fine, but their desire for power is too strong."
"You know, governing a country well and being a wise ruler is not an easy thing."
After saying that, he seemed to fall into his memories again.
After a long silence, he asked again, "Does the Taoist priest know where he went after leaving Mashan Village?"
"I don't know, but he has definitely left Qingyun. After Hei Zi returned, it was probably to buy him time to leave."
