Not a god

Chapter 84 Return to Hometown
Chen Xi's hometown is in a small county town in western Sichuan, more than 400 kilometers away from Jiangcheng, and it takes half a day to drive there.

The highway might be faster, but at this time, the highways are probably paralyzed, so Chen Xi just took the small roads in the villages and counties.

At this time, some classmates said that those small roads were even more congested and it would be impossible to get out within two hours once you entered.

Walking on country roads during the Spring Festival is like opening a blind box. No one knows how much stuff is stuffed into this unremarkable road. You set out on the 28th with a dark face, and you will probably have to celebrate the New Year at a fellow villager’s home on New Year’s Eve.

But this year, Chen Xi was walking on neither a country road nor a national highway, but the expressway of mysterious power.

Once the art of changing one's fortune is mastered, as long as he chooses the path, the road ahead will be smooth.

Driving is fun!
However, there is a flaw in the art of changing fortune: fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. When Chen Xi was halfway through the journey and passed an uninhabited area, he saw a Wuling Hongguang parked on the side of the road in the mountain.

It seems that half of this Wuling Hongguang has fallen into the ditch, and the remaining half is blocking the road.

There was a middle-aged couple dressed appropriately in the middle of the road, gesturing towards Chen Xi from a distance, roughly meaning that their car accidentally fell into a ditch and they wanted Chen Xi to stop the car and help.

"Brother, please help me..."

"Tsk!" Chen Xi smacked his lips.

I asked someone to help me, but I didn't say I was blocking the road. What's wrong? Do I have to ask someone to stop and help me? Generally, when you encounter this situation, you must not slow down, just step on the accelerator and rush through.

However, this section of the road was winding in the mountains, so it was unsafe to accelerate. Besides, little Chen Yi was asleep in the back seat, so Chen Xi simply slowed down and stopped the car.

The couple came up to him with a smile on their faces: "Hey, big brother, your car is really nice, a Mercedes-Benz, right?"

As soon as Chen Xi got out of the car, five or six people appeared from behind the Wuling Hong. They didn't say anything, but just approached him.

Chen Xi didn't even look at them. He put one hand on the Wuling Hongguang that fell into the ditch, and with a sudden force, the van weighing several tons lifted off the ground!

The shadow continued to move upwards, and the gazes of those people slowly moved upwards, and the expressions on their faces became dull.

"Where do you put this thing?"

Chen Xi seemed to pick up a toy car and threw it upwards like a brick, adjusting his position.

Several people stayed where they were, and the man in the couple was the first to react, it was God's will!
This place is close to Jiangcheng, and they are not without the Internet. They immediately realized that they had met a tough guy today!

The man quickly said, "Brother, just put it here, just put it here."

Chen Xi nodded, parked the car on the side of the road, then turned around and drove away.

As for why no one came to trouble him after he turned over the two cars and placed them on the side of the road with the chassis facing up, Chen Xi had no idea.

The scenery on the road kept changing. As we continued westward, the altitude rose slightly. The mountain breeze brought snow and wind, which accumulated in the front and back and was then blown away by the wipers. Outside the car window, there were galloping wax elephants, dancing silver snakes, competing mountains, and rushing rivers. The source of the Yangtze River and its main tributaries gave birth to an ancient and mysterious civilization here.

Occasionally people appeared, but fell behind the car. Chen Xi was bored while driving, so he played a song called "Love Before BC". Jiang Wanwan then switched to "Dry Food Girl", and the rest was all her otaku playlist.

During this time, she also wanted to drink milk tea, but where could she find milk tea in such a high mountain area?

Not long after, Chen Yan's voice was heard from the back seat.

Jiang Wanwan looked at the takeaway she got: "Did you get the right one?"

"No, please take a look at the order number."

"It's this. This is yours."

"Wanwan is so generous! But what's so good about this milk tea?" She pouted and sipped it. It tasted sweet.

"Does it taste good?"

"It's okay. Have you ever had tiger milk?"

Jiang Wanwan was stunned for a moment: "What is that? Tiger milk?"

"No, it's a Peruvian drink with a lot of spices. It tastes a bit strange, but it makes you energetic. I don't have money, but if you want to drink it, I can get some for you. You pay for it."

"Forget it, forget it? It feels weird."

Chen Yan felt a little regretful and said, "If you want to drink real tiger milk, I can do it for you. You just need to pay for it."

"No, no, I just want milk tea!" "How about some tiger wine?" She finally showed her true colors.

"I'm not like you, drunkard!"

"If you don't want to drink, give it to the boss. You are just trying to find another way to drink... Just kidding, just kidding. Seriously, I'm going back to kill pigs."

Just as Jiang Wanwan was about to get angry with her, she disappeared in a flash.

Then whoosh, it came back.

"My knife fell here?"

I took a quick look and found that he was not in the car. Could he have fallen into the milk tea shop? I scratched my head and it disappeared again.

Chen Xi: “…”

The scenery around the car became more and more familiar. Chen Xi turned off the national highway and squeezed into a country road. Occasionally, he could hear the sound of firecrackers. The children in the village were dressed in bulky clothes and wandering around the countryside. There were also many aunts and sisters standing outside the house chatting. When they saw Chen Xi's car, they were all guessing whose relatives had returned.

Among the group of little kids, there was a little boy about six or seven years old with snot bubbles on his nose. He had sharp eyes and spotted Chen Xi getting off the car at a glance.

"It's my second brother who's back!"

The aunts and sisters in the village also recognized that he was Chen Weimin's eldest grandson. He seemed to be studying at university in Jiangcheng and had a promising future.

"Brother, have you become Superman?"

Chen Xi was stunned: "What Superman?"

"My old man said that Jiangcheng is full of superheroes now. Aren't you in Jiangcheng, second brother?"

"Don't listen to your dad's nonsense."

"Oh... Hey! My second sister-in-law gave birth to a child?"

Jiang Wanwan, who got out of the car holding little Chen Yi, was stunned and her face turned red in an instant.

Chen Xi nodded and confirmed: "Yes, it's a girl. You have a little niece now."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

It is true that the Chen family has spread out and is a very large family.

Chen Xi's grandfather Chen Weimin had five children. Chen Xi's father Chen Minke was the third. He had two older brothers, who were Chen Xi's eldest uncle and second uncle, and a younger brother and a younger sister, who were Chen Xi's younger aunt and uncle.

This boy is called Chen Pao, and he is the son of Chen Xi’s uncle.

He asked, "Where's Grandpa?"

"I'm going to get some wine!"

"Drinking again?" Chen Xi raised his eyebrows: "He dares to drink after having a stroke? Go and bring him back."

"He berated me!"

"You said I let you get caught."

"Oh!"

Old man Chen Weimin raised five children. After he had managed to raise them, his sons gave him a bunch of grandchildren, two from his eldest uncle's family, one from his second uncle's family, Chen Xi, and his younger uncle and aunt, who were not much older than Chen Xi and the others at the time.

The sons were busy with their careers at the time, so they left the children in their hometown for the old man to help take care of. Aunt Jiang also saw that Old Chen was already taking care of so many children and it was not convenient for her parents, so she simply sent Jiang Wanwan here to raise her.

Old Chen was already very old at that time. Every day when he opened his eyes, the yard was filled with the noise of "Ura" (strange screams), and it felt like his whole life was over.

But now, every Chinese New Year, a large group of young and old men come back, and the family is prosperous, making the old men and women in the village almost envious.

From a distance, one could hear Chen Pao arguing with an old man, the old man scolding his grandson, and the grandson yelling at him.
