Chapter 518 Temporary Calm

Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng also looked stumped.

Like Zhuge Yun, they did not give it much thought and their intuitive understanding was that guardian gods and monsters were completely different.

Because, "The patron saint is a god, and he is good."

Zhao Lu was stumbling as he expressed his thoughts, "And don't the monsters in the legend eat people?"

"And also sucking the essence of human men."

Zhang Bo interjected.

"Besides, aren't gods the product of human belief? They always seem closer to reality."

"I always feel that monsters and such are just the imaginations of the ancients."

"It is a fantasy product that only exists in strange novels."

Zhao Luzheng spoke slowly, looking at Xiao Xiao with uncertainty and doubt in his eyes.

……

"Yes, yes."

Zhuge Yun nodded in agreement, "After all, there are so many temples, ancestral halls, and churches in the world, it is possible that gods really appear."

"Isn't that what's written in novels? God appeared because of the people's devout belief."

"But monsters are different."

"I always feel that the appearance of monsters is more unrealistic."

……

As expected, ordinary people are more accepting of gods than monsters.

That’s why Master Jiang mentioned Zhugan as the patron saint of Gypsophila paniculata.

This can save a lot of unnecessary effort.

……

Xiao Xiao did not object or refute what Zhao Luzheng and the others said. He just smiled gently and said, "It's up to you to think whatever you want."

This is not an arithmetic problem with a clear answer. Since they don't quite accept the setting of monsters, it is completely acceptable to think that Feifei is his patron saint.

It's just an identity name.

……

"Third brother, you are too casual."

Hearing this, Zhuge Yun couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Xiao Xiao shrugged and smiled innocently.

……

"Master Jiang."

Seeing that the conversation over there had come to a temporary halt, Grandma Luo stepped forward and said, "It's getting late, let's go have lunch first."

"it is good."

Master Jiang nodded.

But in just one morning, he seemed to have experienced a lot, and he was indeed a little hungry.
"Little friend Xiao Xiao, let's go eat first."

"it is good."

Xiao Xiao raised his wrist slightly and glanced around. It was almost a quarter past twelve.

……

After thinking for a while, Master Jiang spoke again.

"Friend Xiao Xiao, are you free this afternoon?"

"Shall we find a place to sit down and talk?"

"it is good."

Xiao Xiao felt that it was a bit of a coincidence. He just happened to have a similar idea in his mind. He had been thinking of asking Mr. Jiang at the dinner table if he had time to sit with him for a while. He had some questions to ask him.

Unexpectedly, it was Mr. Jiang who made this suggestion first, so he naturally agreed to it.

……

The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing.

As soon as Grandma Luo mentioned the issue of lunch, the strange atmosphere caused by the guardian gods and monsters in the crowd seemed to disappear completely.

Everyone had a feeling of returning to real life.

……

Uncle Man made a reservation at the restaurant yesterday.

Originally, Grandma Luo wanted to entertain the master at home, but was stopped by Uncle Man.

Not to mention that preparing meals for so many people is too tiring for Grandma Luo, and there is not enough time.

Wouldn’t Grandma Luo be with Little Starry Sky at such an important moment?

Naturally impossible.

How can the elderly feel at ease? How can they cook in the kitchen with peace of mind?

After listing so many reasons, Grandma Luo no longer insisted on cooking at home to entertain the master.

.......
Today, Grandma Luo had to be thankful that Uncle Man had given up her plan to cook at home.

No one expected that the master would ask them to come to Uncle Man's house again.

But it's true that when judging a case, the crime scene is important. Since Aunt Tang encountered the strange thing at home, isn't it natural to go to the other party's home to check?

It’s a pity that all those dishes will be prepared in vain.

fortunately.

Grandma Luo was happy that her food was saved from being wasted.

……

Everyone filed out, led by Master Jiang, and Xiao Xiao was beside Master Jiang.

As for Aunt Tang, who had been standing stiffly in the corner of the room, no one looked at her.

Aunt Tang finally raised her head slowly and looked at the empty house expressionlessly. She could faintly hear footsteps and conversations coming from the stairwell outside.

Only her pale, almost transparent face showed that she was not indifferent.

Her eyes fluctuated violently, and even though she gritted her teeth and tried hard to suppress it, she could not stop the various negative emotions from surging in her eyes.

Fear, panic, helplessness, hysteria, and even a hint of despair.

She knew that they had not and would not forget what she had done, and that everything now was just a temporary calm.

What was waiting for her behind... Aunt Tang suddenly didn't dare to think about it.

The worst outcome is obviously divorce.

But this is exactly the consequence she fears most.

……

In fact, the previous speculation of Li Yan and others was not wrong. Aunt Tang did use some means to have a relationship with Uncle Man.

She really likes Uncle Man.

When she met Uncle Man, he was not married and was still single.

She fell in love with Uncle Man at first sight.

It was just her feminine modesty and shyness that made her not even dare to take the initiative to stand in front of the other person and get to know this man who made her heart beat.

……

However, after she came back from a business trip, Uncle Man got together with his deceased wife.

When she learned the news, it really felt like a bolt from the blue.

After the sadness and sorrow, there is a deep sense of unwillingness and regret.

She hated herself for not confessing earlier.

I also inexplicably hated Uncle Man's girlfriend at the time, who later became his deceased wife.

……

But it's too late.

She even secretly hoped that the couple would break up quickly.

Unfortunately, she finally received the news of their marriage.

She secretly went to their wedding scene and looked at the bride's happy and sweet smile, her heart ached beyond words.

But the handsome groom still made her heart beat fast.

She knew that even if she pretended to be calm, she hadn't let it go.

Her heart still felt out of control because of that man.

……

Just when she thought that she and Uncle Man were destined not to be together in this life, she received the news that Uncle Man's wife had died of complications during childbirth.

Even though she knew that this was not a good thing for her, the joy in her heart emerged without any warning, and she had no way of deceiving herself.

She lowered her eyelids to hide the joy and happiness that was about to overflow from her eyes, and her lips were tightly pursed, losing some color from trying too hard.

If she didn't do this, she was afraid that she would not be able to control the corners of her mouth from rising.

……

This time, she didn't hesitate.

She couldn't afford to be slow again.

……

She married Uncle Man as she wished and had Uncle Man's child.

She was really happy.
