Chronicles of Celestial Origins

The sky was dark, the strong wind was blowing the branches swaying left and right, and the heavy rain was pouring, dripping down along the eaves to the ground.

Three men in official uniforms ran into the house in a state of embarrassment and were soaked to the skin. The leader with a beard slapped his saber on the table and said, "Staff, bring us a pot of wine, a pound of mutton, two fish, and a stack of Side dishes.”

"Damn it, what a damn weather it is, it's still sunny when I go out in the morning, and it's going to rain so hard all of a sudden." One person complained, shaking his sleeves.

"It's really strange that there is a small shop in this ghost place in the middle of nowhere."

"I'm sorry, sir, we don't have mutton or fish here. Do you want some fresh fruits?" Not long after, a handsome man came out.

"Fresh fruits? This is the first time I've heard that your store doesn't have fish or meat, but specializes in fruits and vegetables? Anyway, what kind of fresh fruits do you have here?" The bearded Hu asked curiously.

"If you look at it objectively, you will know that it is not from this county. Although my shop is small, it is well-known in the surrounding villages. We have all the fresh fruits you want. The wine in our shop is also excellent. I guarantee you have never tasted it. You guys Fortunately, the store is open today. If it hadn't been so windy and rainy, the store would have been full of people right now. "

The bearded man clicked his tongue, but he didn't believe it. This poor place in the wilderness didn't even have fish and meat. Why would anyone come here to have a drink?

"You said there are all fresh fruits, but are there any tangerines?"

"Please wait a moment, sir." The man turned and left. Not long after, he was holding a plate of tangerines in his left hand and a pot of wine in his right hand on the table: "Do you need anything else?"

The three of them looked at the bright red tangerines on the table and looked at him suspiciously. The bearded man tried to peel off the peel and took a bite. His mouth was full of sweetness and it hit his heart and lungs, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

He ordered this tangerine just to make things difficult. There is no such fruit in this season. I didn't expect it to be available. The taste is no worse than a ripe tangerine. The other two people also tasted one each and both felt incredible.

"Shopkeeper, where did you get these tangerines? I see that there are no fruit trees around your store, and the tangerine trees are not yet mature at this time. How did you get this plate of fresh tangerines?"

"This is an exclusive secret method that cannot be said."

"Are you the only one in this store?" asked another officer

"And my wife, she's working in the kitchen."

"You just said that today is the day to open the store. What do you mean? Could it be that your store is still open sometimes?"

"My home is far away from here, so I don't open the store very often. Sometimes it's open every day, sometimes it's open every three days, sometimes it's open every five days."

The three of them looked at each other and felt that this shop was very sinister. It was deserted for miles, but one of the shops had no fish and meat, but had fresh fruits that did not match the time. It couldn't be a shady shop, right? The bearded man clenched the long knife in his hand.

The man smiled and said, "You three, call me if you need anything."

Then he walked away.

The three of them looked at each other in confusion. One man picked up the jug and poured a glass of wine. He then said in surprise: "There is something wrong with the taste of this wine. Why is it so sweet?"

The beard changed color and said: "This store is extraordinary. Let's leave quickly and say goodbye."

The three of them picked up their long knives and left quickly, rushing into the pouring rain outside.

Tang Ning watched from the window as several people disappeared from sight: "They ate our fruits and ran away before paying for them?"

He was lying on the couch, Liu Ruhan was sitting beside him, her green hands were squeezing and beating him rhythmically.

After a long time, he turned over and opened his mouth slightly. Liu Ruhan peeled off the peel and brought the fruit to his mouth. Tangning swallowed it in one gulp, pulled her into his arms, and wrapped his lips around hers.

"Husband." Liu Ruhan lay in his arms, her eyes as charming as silk, and she breathed out her fragrance.

"...

The governor's mansion is extremely rich with carved beams and painted buildings.

A handsome man in brocade clothes walked out, followed by four or five servants in raincoats.

"Master, don't go out today because of the heavy rain!" said a servant next to him.

"Stop talking nonsense and go get the horse." The man shouted.

The servant did not dare to disobey, so he ran out in the heavy rain wearing a raincoat and a straw hat. Not long after, he led a few horses to the door. Several people got on the saddles and galloped away in the heavy wind and rain.

After walking for about an hour, they arrived in the deserted wilderness and saw the door of the small shop open. The man was overjoyed and rode his horse to the door of the shop. Several people dismounted and entered.

"Store, shop." Someone shouted loudly

Tang Ning came to them and saw this group of people again: "Guests, you came here in such a heavy storm. What do you want to eat?"

"Your wine is good. We don't have any other hobbies. We just like this one. Hurry up and bring up all the fruits, vegetables and wine."

"Okay, please wait."

The man in brocade clothes kept looking inside, until the shop owner disappeared and he didn't see the person he missed, his face was full of disappointment.

He passed by this place by chance a few months ago and saw a small shop here. He sat down and asked for a bottle of wine to quench his thirst. At that time, he met a beauty who would be unforgettable in his life. After just a quick glance, he was shocked. Heavenly being, that woman is truly the one who will captivate the country and the city. She is so beautiful that the moon is behind her and she is ashamed of the flowers.

From then on, he was haunted by dreams and could not think about tea or food all day long.

He had studied books about sages since he was a child, and was also interested in miscellaneous journals of wild history. In this wilderness, he met a stunningly beautiful woman, which reminded him of all kinds of stories about talented men and beautiful women, and how they were a match made in heaven. Did they meet by chance? He firmly believed that this was a gift from God, a marriage sent to him by God.

Until he found out that this woman was the wife of the shopkeeper, he felt as if thunder was striking his head and the sky was dark. After returning home, he still couldn't forget that figure and often met her in his dreams.

From then on, he worked tirelessly to come to this deserted place every day just to see her. The store was also quite strange. It often closed the door and turned away customers, and occasionally opened the store to welcome customers. He persisted and kept going every day. Sometimes I can see her from a distance, sometimes I can sit there all day without seeing her.

Tang Ning brought fruits, vegetables and drinks in front of them one after another.

The man in brocade clothes kept watching his figure coming in and out, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his heart beat violently.

It was her, she appeared again, holding two fruit plates in her hands, and handed them to the shopkeeper. They didn't know what they said, and she left.

"Staff, why don't we have a drink together!" he said, thinking about how to invite his wife to have a few drinks together.

"I can't bear to drink, please use it slowly."

Several people ate until the sun set, and he never saw that figure again. The wine in this restaurant was indeed unique, sweet and refreshing, without the bitterness of ordinary wine. They ate to their fullest.

"Guests, the shop is closing."

"Master, to be honest, I am the son of the governor of Tianshui County. Are you willing to work as a cook in my house? You will not be short of money." The man in brocade said.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir. I'm used to being undisciplined and can't stand those many rules."

Several people left their money and went out, mounted their horses and galloped away.

"Master, why are you doing this, working so hard to come here every day? Isn't it inconvenient to just accuse the shopkeeper and arrest him?" a servant said.

"This...isn't good!" He was usually very strict in his upbringing and would always tolerate doing such things, but when he thought of that graceful figure, he hesitated and felt hot in his heart.

"The fruits, vegetables and wine in this store are unusual. I think there is something very strange about it. I will arrest him tomorrow and ask him if he can reconcile it."

The man in brocade clothes was silent.

Several people looked at each other, turned around and ran away.

The man in brocade clothes returned to his home and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Early the next morning, he woke up in a daze and felt his legs were wet. He slowly opened the quilt and saw only blood red and four human heads neatly arranged. was placed in his quilt, a white light flashed, the man's head was missing, and then a scream resounded throughout the house.

……………

The sun was shining brightly outside the window, but the room was slightly dim. On the wooden bed, two bodies were tightly intertwined, and the golden mandarin duck quilt covering them had been thrown aside.

Tang Ning leaned on the bedside, hugging Miaoren's body tightly and stroking her black hair. She really loved this person in her heart. She kissed her cheek and said softly: "You also said that you want to have a baby." No effort at all.”

Liu Ruhan raised her head, her big watery eyes were filled with eyes, and she pouted as if she felt infinite grievances.
