Chapter 540 [True and False Cloud Fairy]

  Only the inside of the small courtyard is very secluded, with traces of damp on the ground, and a few loofahs planted in the corner, climbing up the narrow melon shed made of thin bamboo poles attached to the wall. The loofah has grown finger-length fruits, and there are several yellow flowers hidden in the layers of leaves.

Chen Yuan led Fang Chang into the house, and said: "It turns out that a family named Pu lived here. Later, they moved their family to other places, and sold this house at a discount to the dental shop. Later, I came here to visit My friend, I plan to stay for a long time to organize my manuscripts, so my friend recommended this place, which is cheap and affordable. Well, my friend’s house is the big yard next to it, and his place is much more spacious than this one.”

  There are four rooms in total, the front two are the living room and the bedroom, the doors and windows face south, and there are two east-facing houses, which are the kitchen and the firewood room. Chen Yuan let Fang Chang into the room, and wanted to go out to light a fire to boil water and make tea, but Fang Chang raised his hand to stop him: "No need to bother, let's take a look at your manuscripts first, I have something to drink here."

   As he spoke, he took out two bamboo tubes from his back bag. The two ends of the bamboo tubes were made of bamboo knots, and a small hole was opened in the top, which was plugged with a wooden stopper. Fang Chang handed the bamboo tube to Chen Yuan, then uncorked the plug himself, and took a big gulp.

  Inside the bamboo tube is ebony soup, which he bought casually when he found someone selling it a few days ago. It tastes sweet and sour, and has certain medicinal value for ordinary people.

  Chen Yuan went into the house to pick up the manuscripts, and then he directly brought out two boxes and several stacks of manuscripts.

"Please look, sir, that's all." Chen Yuan put the manuscript in his hand on the table, then opened the box, and Fang Chang said, "Every time I have a chance these years, I will write down what I see and hear, and save enough I sent it over, and I saved so much without knowing it.”

Fang Chang looked through it carefully, and saw that it was written in great detail, including the date and road Chen Yuan went to various places, as well as what he saw on the road and pedestrians, as well as the records of local customs and customs. It is very comprehensive, but the words are also very brief. .

  He smiled and said: "It's really good. If it is organized properly, it will become a masterpiece passed down from generation to generation."

Chen Yuan was a little unconvinced, he smiled and said: "It shouldn't be so, I'm not being modest, after all, this genre of travel and knowledge is very small, and some people may not even be willing to read it. After I organize it into a document, it will be ready for printing." Thank goodness, the records and arrangements over there have lived up to me, and I have never dared to expect it to be handed down to the world."

  Fang Chang was very interested in these manuscripts. He picked them up and read them one by one, which made Chen Yuan very excited, because Chen Yuan could tell that Mr. Fang was really interested in the contents of these manuscripts.

   At this time, the courtyard door was knocked.

  Chen Yuan rushed out to greet him. He opened the courtyard door and saw someone coming, who said to his face, "Hey, Lao Chen, it's me."

  It turned out that his friend came to visit, Chen Yuan immediately said: "Come in and sit, come in and sit."

His friend did not come here empty-handed, but with a paper bag in his hand: "I brought you some tea, which is a new tea this year. You can't have less tea when you are working. Drinking more tea is good for your health and refreshes your mind." ...Eh? Do you have a guest?" As he was talking, he found Fang Chang sitting in the room, so he put away the relaxed expression on his face in an instant, and stepped forward to greet him.

  Chen Yuan took two steps to follow, and Fang Chang said, "Mr. Fang, this is the friend Qin Nan I mentioned earlier. He lives next door."

   Then he introduced to Qin Nan: "Brother Qin, this is the Mr. Fang I mentioned earlier."

  Qin Nan showed doubts, and Fang Chang said: "That Mr. Fang? But he is so young, so I'm sorry... Which Mr. Fang are you talking about?"

  Facing his question, Chen Yuan was a little embarrassed, and quickly explained:

"Brother Qin has no doubts. That's right. It was Mr. Fang who encouraged me to come out. I've said it many times before. When I was a waiter in Huaifeng Mansion, it was Mr. Fang who told me After these words, I made up my mind to visit the world."

   Seeing Qin Nan relax, Chen Yuan continued, "Mr. Fang looks exactly the same as I remember, and they are exactly the same, which is really enviable."

  On the table in the room, there are still piles of manuscripts accumulated by Chen Yuan, which are being spread out.

  It happened that Qin Nan came here for this purpose, so the three of them read the manuscripts together, while Chen Yuan beside him began to polish the ink, preparing to write down the appropriate content and put it in the travel notes. This is his main work during this period, and most of the books have been completed.

Qi Nan also comforted Chen Yuandao: "Don't worry that no one will care about it. After a while, I will find a shop and I will pay you to print it out, and I have already seen the opportunity. After all, this kind of idle book is better than other books. If it is more attractive, many people will be interested.”

  Fang Chang smiled at Chen Yuan who was writing hard: "After you finish writing this book, maybe you can call it "Chen Yuan's Journey". This may make you famous in later generations."

  Hearing this, Chen Yuan was somewhat hopeful, but he still said modestly:

   "The world is too big, and in just over ten years, there are still too few places to go. After sorting out this time, I will go out again and try my best to supplement this book more comprehensively."

   It was his friend who suddenly interjected: "Old Chen, should you start a family before you go?"

Chen Yuan shook his head and said, "I still can't do it. My ambition is set. I will spend the rest of my life in the mountains and rivers. Don't involve others. Moreover, maybe this book will be passed down more than future generations will remember me." The time for the name will be longer."

Fang Chang smiled from the side: "I heard a saying back then that a person dies three times. The first time is when a person dies, the second time is after the person is buried, and the third time is the last person in the world who remembers himself." Leaving. There is also a saying that there are three immortals, that is, establishing virtue, making meritorious service, and establishing words. Chen Yuan, you compiled your travel notes into a book, which can be called "establishing words", and you can delay the world where you really left the world infinitely. It is really a huge profit. "

So the three of them laughed together, Qin Nan laughed especially hard, he even shed two tears, it took him a while to calm down, and said: "Mr. It is a blessing for Chen Yuan and me to know Your Excellency."

After a while, he suddenly mentioned again: "Seeing Mr. dressed like this reminds me of something. Some people say that a fairy family from Yunzhong Mountain came to Cai Xiaocheng in the south. Every day, he walks around in white clothes and socializes. Very popular with big families there.”

   "Oh?" Fang Chang became interested when he heard this, "It's still on the way, I'll check it out later."

   Thank you Dylan Weijie for the reward.

   In the second half of the year, there are more and more jobs. I have been working overtime recently, and my daughter who just started kindergarten has a fever again.
