Ma Qi saw that Patriarch Chen denied it and requested again, "Patriarch Chen, my wife and son really know they were wrong. They shouldn’t have ssed around in front of the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Statue, let alone pulled the cloth off the offering table, otherwise, they wouldn’t have gotten this strange illness."
Chen Han still smiled and said, "Section Chief Ma, going to the hospital for treatnt is the right way. Connecting this disease with the gods is nonsense; you really have to believe in science."
"Patriarch Chen, sorry, I’ve disturbed you." Ma Qi sighed when he heard this, realizing that this person wouldn’t admit to these kinds of things. Helplessly, he could only take his wife and son away.
As they started walking, the son cried out in pain.
Chen Han watched as Section Chief Ma left with his wife and son, and just as they were stepping out the door, he added, "Section Chief Ma, so things have to be experienced. How about coming to offer incense in 8 days?"
Ma Qi was just stepping out of the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall when he heard this, stunned, "Patriarch Chen, are you saying..."
"Section Chief Ma, I didn’t say anything; trust in science!" Chen Han said with a smile again, walking towards the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable offering table, taking the brush handed by an aunt, dipping it in the nearby cinnabar ink, and began painting a new Enlightennt Talisman.
It’s impossible to let go of the punishnt for the mother and son just because of a few pleading words; they must develop enough reverence after the punishnt, otherwise, it’s a wasted discipline.
As for anything else, the answer is to believe in science.
Ma Qi understood, and at this mont, he could hear the accelerated thumping of his own heartbeat.
This strange hemorrhoid his wife and son got was because they ssed around in the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall and were punished, but obviously, Patriarch Chen won’t admit it, always talking about believing in science.
It seed the other side had left a hint, using this thod to warn.
The implication should be that the punishnt lasts 10 days, and it will be better in 8 days. Today is the second day.
To think they could state the timing so precisely, yet still talk about believing in science?
"Husband, what does Patriarch Chen an by this?" Zhu Fei asked, her face full of distress.
"In 8 days, your illness and your son’s will be healed. Over these 8 days, you should rember this lesson well," Ma Qi shook his head. Perhaps Patriarch Chen was right; it’s good for the mother and son to learn a lesson, to prevent trouble in the future.
"Huh? 8 days?" Zhu Fei’s face instantly fell; she was already feeling terribly uncomfortable. How would they endure these 8 days? She couldn’t help but say, "Why don’t we try the city?"
"If you want to try, then try it!" Ma Qi agreed. Although they got an 8-day tiline from Patriarch Chen, if his wife wanted to try, let her, and if it doesn’t work, she would be completely resigned.
The lesson learned from this encounter will be rembered in the future.
Sigh...
...
The Chen Family also had family mbers returning today.
Chen Jun was one of them. After resigning with his girlfriend, they handled matters over there and bought tickets to return.
In the evening, he took a taxi to the Chen Family. After getting off with his girlfriend, he was astonished to see the completely different Chen Family, along with the tourists coming and going.
The entire Chen Family looked completely transford compared to when he left last.
Outside there was even a new market, with uncles and elders from Shangyuan Village selling things inside.
"Chen Jun, it’s so lively here." His girlfriend was amazed at the coming and going tourists, filled with anticipation for returning with her boyfriend this ti.
Throughout the journey, she had been watching videos related to the Chen Family’s ancient architecture, which was already quite famous online, and the housing booking links for the Chen Family were almost always full.
So, the job arranged by her boyfriend’s family would surely be stable.
"Let’s go, Xiaoxiao, into the Chen Family!" Chen Jun grabbed the luggage from the taxi, holding his girlfriend’s hand as they walked towards the gate of the Chen Family.
Inside, the streets gave him a sense of both familiarity and strangeness.
They were familiar as the street was clearly unchanged, and so were the houses, but they looked more stunning now.
It seems Brother Han truly transford the Chen Family beautifully.
Lin Xiaoxiao was surprised looking at the ancient buildings, previously thinking the promotional videos must have used filters, but they were truly captivating.
This made her glance reproachfully at her boyfriend. At the beginning of their relationship, upon hearing he ca from a rural area and only had an old house, they used to encourage each other.
Now she realized that not all rural areas are the sa, nor are all old houses. So old houses can be scenic spots for tourists, while others are just old and worn out.
Chen Jun’s ho was located on the west side of the Chen Family. Due to its geographical location, their courtyard was triangular. Arriving ho, he introduced it with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, this is my ho!"
Saying this, he excitedly pulled his girlfriend to enter the courtyard, but then suddenly saw a figure in armor rushing out, blocking him.
Woof woof woof!~
The sound of barking was accompanied by bared fangs and fierce eyes. A big yellow dog stared at him nacingly, its gaze like chasing off an intruding stranger.
"Chen Jun, that’s a huge dog." Lin Xiaoxiao hid behind her boyfriend in fright.
"..." Chen Jun was dumbfounded.
He returned ho only to be driven away by a dog?
"Xiaohuang, move aside, this is your brother." A voice called out, and a middle-aged man ca out.
The big yellow dog heard the voice and squatted by the middle-aged man’s feet, wagging its tail.
"Dad!" Chen Jun imdiately greeted him.
Chen Duojin, while unfastening the armor on the big yellow dog, introduced his son, "Xiaohuang is assigned by the clan and has to go patrolling every day. It just got off duty and didn’t recognize you, so it barked. It’s actually pretty gentle."
