Chapter 28 This bowl is drinkable
"Sir, Sir, was that peach tree really created by you?"
"No, it grew out of the ground."
"Sir, you're lying. How could you grow so tall in just one night?"
Zisu was eating a peach, her big, bright eyes looking at Mr. Chen in front of her.
She was convinced in her heart that it must have been the transformation of the great Master.
Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "Not everything in this world is certain. Just like when you look at this world you see now, what shape do you think it takes?"
Zisu said, "The sky is round and the earth is square. Master said this a long time ago."
Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "No."
When Zisu heard this, she retorted, "Sir, don't lie to me. Why isn't the sky round?" Why isn't the land square?
It's not that the sky is round and the earth is square. In fact, this world is like a sphere with layers wrapped around each other. But this sphere is just too big, so big that you can't even notice it, which is why you feel like your feet are flat.
Perilla pursed her lips and said, "Sir, you're talking nonsense!"
Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "Then just take me for nonsense."
Zisu is a lovely child with a childlike heart. Compared to her three senior brothers, she is much more interesting.
"I won't tell the master anymore. I'm going to look for my senior brother."
"Go."
When Chen Changsheng saw Zisu walk out of the courtyard, he then picked up a book and began to read.
Xuanhuang carried the hoe back to the pavilion.
In just one morning, he had managed to tidy up a part of the back mountain, at least getting rid of all the weeds.
Xuanhuang heard the conversation between the master and Zisu before, and then asked, "Sir, is this world really a ball?"
Seeing his curiosity, Chen Changsheng replied, "It should be."
"Should?" Xuanhuang asked.
Chen Changsheng said, "If one day when you stand at a high place and look into the distance, what you see is an arc, then it's true. If not, then Chen Mou was wrong."
"Sir, how high should the height be?" "
For instance, the mountain beneath our feet. Three mountains of this height stacked together should be about right.
After hearing this, Xuanhuang nodded and then began to ponder over the master's words.
Sir's words should not be false.
But if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he still found it hard to accept in his heart.
Chen Changsheng picked up the book and was about to continue reading, but suddenly he remembered something.
Come to think of it, I had promised Old Zhang the day before, but I suddenly forgot about it.
Chen Changsheng closed the book and stood up, saying, "Chen Mou has remembered something and needs to go down the mountain."
After hearing this, Xuanhuang asked, "Then, Sir, will you return to the Cloud Temple tonight?"
Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and replied, "I'm not sure."
But if I haven't come back after dark, it will probably take a long time for me to return.
Is that so?
"Um."
Chen Changsheng walked towards the outside of the temple, and Xuan Huang got up to see him off.
When he reached the entrance of the viewing hall, Chen Changsheng paused for a moment and turned around, saying, "Could you please take care of those books in the Good Book Pavilion for Chen Mou? He will read them again next time he comes."
"Ok."
Xuanhuang agreed and watched the master go down the mountain.
He probably had already guessed in his heart that Mr. Chen was leaving. It was probably just like in previous years...
It's been several years since I left.
After coming down the mountain, Chen Changsheng headed straight for Qiuyue Archway.
The Autumn moon wine was sold out, and there were far fewer customers in the tavern. Xiao Liu, however, had some free time and sat at a table in the tavern, dozing off.
Chen Changsheng walked into the tavern and sat down at Xiao Liu's table.
Xiao Liu, who was propping up his chin, couldn't hold it steady and woke up.
When he opened his eyes, he was startled.
"Ouch!"
Xiao Liu sat up in shock. Looking at the gentleman sitting in front of him, he quickly patted his chest and said, "Sir, why is there no sound when you walk? You really scared me."
Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "It's because you slept too soundly."
Xiao Liu came to his senses and said, "Sir, please wait for a moment. I'll go and call the shopkeeper right away."
"Eh..."
Chen Changsheng had intended to call him back.
But he saw Xiao Liufei walking quickly towards the backyard of the tavern, Shouting as he walked.
Shopkeeper! Shopkeeper! Mr. Chen is here!
Old Zhang, who was swaying in a rocking chair in the backyard, suddenly came to his senses when he heard the words "Mr. Chen".
He sat up from the rocking chair.
At this moment, Xiao Liu was already in front of him.
Who did you say came? Old Man Zhang asked.
Xiao Liu said, "It's Mr. Chen."
Help me out quickly.
"Shopkeeper, please slow down."
Old Zhang was supported by Xiao Liu to the tavern.
After sitting down, Old Man Zhang spoke up, "Sir, you didn't even leave?" I thought it would have to wait another three years.
Stay a few more days this year. Chen Changsheng smiled and said.
Old Man Zhang burst out laughing. Now he was so old that one of his front teeth had fallen out, and his smile looked somewhat comical.
Chen Changsheng said, "The day before yesterday, I was supposed to come to the tavern to see you again in the afternoon. But unexpectedly, some things happened and I was delayed. One night, I was two days late. But at least I still came."
Old Zhang smiled and said, "It's my good fortune that you remember me, Sir. How could I dare to expect that?"
Chen Changsheng also smiled and continued, "Autumn Moon Wine, are there any left?"
Old Zhang paused for a moment and said, "If it's Qiu Yue Niang, I'm afraid..."
Chen Changsheng didn't care at all. He waved his hand and said, "If there's none, then there's none. It'll be the same next time I come to drink."
Old Zhang looked at Xiao Liu and ordered, "Xiao Liu, go and bring out that jar of aged wine in the room for me."
Xiao Liu went to get some wine.
Chen Changsheng, on the other hand, started chatting casually with Old Man Zhang.
Later, Xiao Liu brought some wine and served two more dishes to go with the drink.
Seeing that the shopkeeper was having a great time drinking, Xiao Liu held back his mouth and didn't say a word. But as he watched the shopkeeper drink one bowl after another.
He was worried in his heart, so he began to speak, "Shopkeeper..." You'd better drink less. Doctor Tong said before that you can't drink alcohol anymore now.
Old Zhang was not happy to hear this and said, "Talk too much. I don't even have a few years to live. How could you not even let me have a drink?"
Chen Changsheng said, "You still need to listen to what the doctor says."
Chen Changsheng moved the wine jar to one side, pointed at the wine in Old Zhang's bowl and said, "The last bowl."
Old Man Zhang said, "How could that be? If you don't enjoy yourself, Sir, wouldn't I be being negligent? No, no."
"Hey."
Chen Changsheng moved the wine jar back a little and said, "Wine can be drunk at any time. A little is enjoyable, but too much is bad for the mind. It's better to have two less bowls."
Old Zhang slapped his mouth and looked at the wine, feeling extremely hungry.
But since the master had said so, there was no reason for him not to listen. He could only sigh helplessly.
Chen Changsheng asked, "What disease have you got?" Can't even drink alcohol now?
Old Zhang stretched out his leg and sighed helplessly, "It's still this leg that's sick."
Chen Changsheng took a look and saw through the skin that there was a sign of erosion in the old man's leg bone.
It's really impossible to drink alcohol like this anymore.
"It's so serious..."
Chen Changsheng continued, "In your current situation, I'm afraid it will be hard for you to even stand up in a while."
Old Zhang, however, didn't care much and said, "If I can't stand up, then I can't. After all, I'm so old, and it's common for me to have some minor ailments."
Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and then brought up Old Zhang's wine bowl in front of him.
Then he picked up the wine jar and filled the wine bowl with wine.
Push it in front of Old Man Zhang.
Old Zhang was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Sir, you don't allow it to drink anymore, do you?"
Chen Changsheng smiled gently and said, "This bowl is fine to drink."
