Nobita, quickly use your invincible treasure bag to think of a solution!

While Doraemon was busy collecting the bottles, Nobita was responsible for taking the other adult, his aunt Kaori, upstairs.

Nobi's house is big, but also small. The only room that can accommodate Kaori right now is her grandmother's room. It happens that Nobita and Tamako have been using it these days, and it has been cleaned up. It is just right for Kaori to live here. She can also see the portraits of her grandparents, fulfilling her wish of crying about not being able to see her parents off.

Wearing a housekeeping apron, Nobita turned into a super housewife. He and Doraemon cleaned the entire reception room and kitchen. One of them yawned and went upstairs to rest, while the other, wearing an apron, turned off the lights at the end.

When Nobita finally went upstairs, changed into pajamas and went to bed, he remembered that his aunt had not yet given Kaori her monthly clothes.

Wu Qibaba hurriedly ran to his grandmother's room. Nobita had just helped his aunt up and was about to help her untie the restraints on her body.

"Ugh... ugh!"

Kaori covered her mouth, and the food and wine she had eaten for dinner, mixed with stomach acid, spurted out of her mouth and vomited all over Nobita.

Nobita: "Ah..."

Chapter 116 Ning Caichen and the Monk

When Nobita opened his eyes and found himself lying on the grass with the sun glaring above his head, he knew that he had traveled through time again.

He didn't have the habit of sleepwalking, and he had just finished taking a bath with his aunt. He was so tired that he could hardly open his eyes. How could he have the energy to sleepwalk?

So there is only one truth, the system issued a task, I agreed to it in a daze, and ended up traveling through time again!

The grass in this meadow is half a person's height, reaching Nobita's neck. Nobita can't see the end even if he stands on tiptoe. It seems that there is a green sea in front of him, endless.

It was not until Nobita placed the bamboo helicopter on his head and flew into the air that he saw a ten-foot-tall willow tree. The tree was crooked and had few leaves, but the trunk was quite thick. On the branch was a tattered plaque that looked quite old, with the words "Lonely Road" clearly written on it.

Lonely road?

What's this name?

When Nobita turned on Silly Girl and heard her say that she couldn't connect to the Internet, he knew that this might be some ancient or modern world.

After looking around with his head down, Nobita finally found a path in the grass.

This is a dirt road with half-human-high grass on both sides. It seems that many people walk on this road.

Lu Xun once said, there is no road in the world, but when more people walk on it, it becomes a road.

“I don’t know what kind of world this is. Forget it, I’d better fly along this road first.” Nobita floated in the air, leaning forward, and the bamboo dragonfly above his head carried him forward.

After flying for a while, the sun shifted and soon it was dusk. The whole world was dyed a dim color. Clouds floated in the sky and occasionally a group of wild ducks flew by. It seemed that life was peaceful.

"Ah! Xiaolan——"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Just when Nobita was considering whether to go hunting and eat roast duck, a scream and a dog barking suddenly came from the grass behind him.

Looking down, I saw a scholar rolling and crawling out of the grass, with a small spotted dog following behind him, running around him.

The scholar wore a black Confucian scarf and had a delicate and delicate appearance, looking like a serious and timid scholar. His grey robe was patched with stitches all over. He carried a tattered bookcase on his back. The bookcase was also tattered, just a frame with a few pieces of cloth wrapped around it, making it usable.

Poor scholar!

Four big words instantly appeared in Nobita's mind.

Maybe he didn't have enough money to support a servant, but he felt lonely on the road, so the scholar also raised a small spotted dog with a ball of black hair on its back, and a circle of black hair on its ears and left eye socket. It looked like a little white dog, but its owner was very naughty and kept graffiti on the dog.

"Jin Jian, did you also have a nightmare?"

The poor scholar squatted down and touched the dog's head in front of him.

"Woof! Woof!" The little flower dog named Jin Jian barked twice and then turned around in circles.

"Hey, Jin Jian, let's go. The road ahead is long, and we still have debts to collect."

The scholar sighed, put the book box on his back, turned around and walked forward, with Jin Jian following him with his tail wagging.

However, before the man and the dog had gone far, a little monk emerged from the grass and blocked their way.

"Amitabha, this donor brother, may I ask if you know where this is? I have lost my way while begging for alms and don't know where I am."

Daxiong, dressed in a yellow monk's robe, stopped the scholar and saluted him with his hands clasped together.

The scholar was startled by Nobita's sudden appearance, but when he saw that it was a little monk with short hair, he quickly calmed down, although the other party's address was a bit strange.

After seeing Nobita, the scholar also clasped his hands together in return and pointed the way to Nobita, saying, "Hello, little master. This is Shilipo. If you want to find a town to beg for alms, you can go south along this road. There is a Black Water Town there."

Hearing the direction pointed by the scholar, Nobita hesitated for a while and said, "To be honest, benefactor brother, I don't know the way, and I'm a little scared in this remote wilderness. Can you let me follow you?" Nobita's intuition told him that if he followed this scholar, he might learn something.

"That's fine. I just need to go collect some money. If you don't mind, you can follow me, Master."

The scholar was a little hesitant, but after looking at the sky, he was worried about the little monk wandering around alone, so he agreed.

When Daxiong saw that the scholar agreed, he took the initiative to introduce himself: "Thank you very much, benefactor brother. My name is Ye Xiong. Because my master passed away, I have not yet taken a Dharma name, so I use my lay name. May I ask for your advice?"

The scholar also introduced himself: "I am Ning Caichen, and this is my dog, Jin Jian."

Daxiong's eyes flickered, and he didn't ask any more questions, but just said: "Hello, Brother Ning, where are we going next?"

Ning Caichen replied casually: "Guobei Town, I'm going there to collect the debt."

"Oh, so that's it. Brother Ning, wait for me for a moment. I'll go get something that might be of use to you."

Nobita said this and dived into the bushes. Not long after, he came out pushing two objects.

……

Under the sweep of the strong wind, a heavy rain hit the earth madly, as if the sky was torn into a huge wound, pouring out its anger mercilessly. The rain hit every inch of the land violently, splashing pieces of water mist, blurring the vision and all the troubles in the world. On this stormy night, a dilapidated ancient temple stood alone in the wilderness, looking particularly desolate and vicissitudes. This temple used to be a place for believers to pray for blessings and peace, but now it has been eroded beyond recognition by time and forgetfulness. The tiles on the roof of the temple are incomplete, and some are broken, allowing rain to pour in from the gaps. The paintings on the temple walls have long faded, leaving only some vague outlines, vaguely showing the glory of the past. The Buddha statues in the temple have also been eroded by wind and rain, and the golden surface has become dull, only the compassionate eyes still stare at the world, as if telling endless compassion and tolerance. On the stone steps at the temple entrance, the accumulated water gathered into small ponds, reflecting the swaying lights, adding a bit of mystery and weirdness to this lonely night.

In the heavy rain, two people, one adult and one child, pushed their bicycles to the gate of the temple. Then the adult, carrying a book box, picked up the puppy in the basket, and followed the child who was carrying the basket and ran into the temple.

"Thanks to Brother Ye's bicycle, otherwise we would have to stay in the wild all night. It's raining heavily and we're bound to catch a cold and have a fever if we get wet." Ning Caichen took off his clothes, took off his hat, and wiped the rain off his face with his clothes.

"Woof!" The little flower dog Jin Jian barked twice on the ground, responding to his owner's words.

chap!

As a flame fell into the hay, the hay soon caught fire. The firelight illuminated Nobita's tender face, making his smiling face red.

As Nobita threw some dry wood and logs into the fire, soon a bonfire was lit in the temple.

At this time, Daxiong, who was wet all over, raised his sleeves to wipe his face, turned around and said, "Brother Ning, come and warm up by the fire, I will prepare the meal."

"it is good."

Ning Caichen nodded, then carried Jin Jian to the fire and reached out to feel the heat of the bonfire.

Nobita took out a small wooden board, a hatchet and a small pot from the backpack at his feet. He then took out a piece of pork belly, some wild vegetables, three steamed buns and some raw rice. Finally, he took out a few small bamboo tubes from his arms and began to cook.

Slice the pork belly and steamed buns, pour some animal oil into a hot small pot, wait until the oil temperature rises, put the meat slices into the pot and stir-fry briefly, add some rain water that has been collected in advance, put the wild vegetables in, then pour in the raw rice, add some salt and cover the pot, put the steamed bun slices on the lid, and then just wait.

In the wilderness, it was already good to have a hot meal, so Ning Caichen was very satisfied with this crudely made wild vegetable and meat porridge and steamed bread slices.

Ning Caichen looked at the busy brother Ye Xiong and couldn't help but recall the first time he met him two days ago.

This little brother Ye is actually quite strange!

When we first met, this little brother Ye took out some kind of Mohist mechanical horse from the grass, called a bicycle, and said that with this bicycle, he could get to Guobei County earlier.

I was skeptical at first, and even a little scared of this mechanical horse. But after seeing that Brother Ye could ride it easily, I began to overcome my fear and rode the bicycle.

When I first rode it, it was a little difficult to keep track of the direction, and I fell twice, but later I became familiar with the bicycle and successfully tamed this Mohist mechanical horse. Apart from anything else, riding this mechanical horse is much faster and more comfortable than walking.

Although my butt was a little painful, the most important thing is to save shoes, otherwise I would have to repair my shoes again.

What also made Ning Caichen feel strange was that this little brother Ye was not afraid at all when he saw the corpse, and he even took the initiative to bury the corpse in the ground.

Of course, when burying the body, Brother Ye also took away the body's belongings and loose change, saying that it was a reward for helping the other party bury the body.

For the next two days, Brother Ye lived a fulfilling life by picking up scraps from corpses.

He hunted wild ducks in the morning, caught wild boars at noon, and caught fish in the evening. His life was so comfortable that he and Jin Jian also got a lot of meat.

I once asked myself why Brother Ye was so skilled at hunting.

Brother Ye said that he grew up in the mountains. His father was a hunter. Later they encountered bandits. His parents were killed by the bandits. Fortunately, he was picked up by his master and became a young monk. However, his master died of illness within half a year.

They are all miserable people!

Thinking back to Brother Ye’s experience, Ning Caichen couldn’t help but think of his own years.

"Brother Ning, how far is it to Guobei County?"

Nobita took the steamed bread slices off the lid of the pot, placed them on the greaseproof paper, and used a wooden spoon to stir the meat porridge in the pot.

"According to the walking speed, it should take three days. But with Brother Ye's bicycle, it can be two days. After all, the environment in Guobei County is more complicated, and there are many mountainous roads." Ning Caichen recalled the map to Guobei County and explained it to Nobita.

"Brother Ning, why did you choose to collect debts? A scholar like you should choose to take the imperial examination, right?" Nobita asked back about Ning Caichen.

"I was poor. After becoming a student, I had no money to continue my studies, so I could only work." Ning Caichen propped his face up with his hands, looking at the bonfire in front of him with a lonely look in his eyes. "In the first place, I worked so hard all for Xiaolan..." "Xiaolan?"

"Oh, the matchmaker introduced me to this girl. At that time, I thought I should work harder, save some money, and then be with her. But I didn't expect that she would ignore me now."

　"Are you getting married?"

"Alas, I used to work hard for her, but now I work hard to forget her. People are always busy."

A long sigh broke Ning Caichen's spine. He curled up into a ball, hugging his legs. The shadow of the bonfire was reflected in his eyes, which were lifeless as he recalled the past.

Why does Ning Caichen seem like a miserable office worker? Is there something wrong?

Nobita originally thought that this was the world of "A Chinese Ghost Story". After all, since it was Ning Caichen, there must be Nie Xiaoqian. Moreover, it was Guobei County and he was collecting debts. Even Ning Caichen was from Jinhua, Zhejiang. No matter how you looked at it, he must be the one in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".

But after two days of getting along, Nobita felt something was wrong. Firstly, this Ning Caichen did not look like the one who sang "The Road of Life". Secondly, Ning Caichen should have a picture of a lady washing her hair in his pocket, and the beauty in the picture should look like Joey Wong. Finally, he should be traveling alone.

But the Ning Caichen in front of him was just handsome, and he couldn't sing any songs. The only portrait on him was that of a beautiful woman named Xiaolan. There was also a dog following him. He looked very different from the one in the movie that Nobita remembered.

Let’s take another look to see if there is the bearded Yan Chixia, the tree demon grandma, the Black Mountain old demon, and so on. Oh, and there is also the centipede demon Pudu Cihang.

"Okay, Brother Ning, come and eat."

After taking a look at the pot and feeling that it was almost done, he scooped out the meat porridge with a wooden spoon, paired it with steamed bread slices, and handed it to Ning Caichen.

As Ning Caichen thanked him, Nobita scooped out another bowl and gave it to the spotted dog Jin Jian, who was already munching on a steamed bread slice beside him.

Finally, it was his turn, with only half a bowl of meat porridge left.

It’s not that Nobita doesn’t have the ingredients or doesn’t have enough to eat. On the contrary, Nobita doesn’t want to eat. He has a space bag and can eat whatever he wants. But Ning Caichen is next to him, so he feels embarrassed to take it out.

So every day Nobita would go out to eat cake and drink drinks under the pretext of going to the toilet.

Holding the porridge in the bowl and drinking it slowly, mouthful by mouthful, Nobita was thinking about what to do next when he arrived in Guobei County.

If there is a Lanruo Temple next to Guobei County, where everyone is afraid to talk, it is likely that it is the plot that he knows, and the handsome boy who plays with dogs next to him will change his job from a scholar to an undead knight.

After that, he might be wrongfully imprisoned, meet some Zhuge Liang, marry the eldest daughter of the Shangshu family, and reach the peak of his life.

If you think about it carefully, Ning Caichen is also a classic example of a loser's counterattack.

The only thing that Nobita is struggling with right now is whether he should snatch Nie Xiaoqian.

Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian, humans and ghosts, have different paths, but I am different. I don't have any dietary restrictions, and it doesn't matter if Nie Xiaoqian doesn't reincarnate, my body can handle it. But it seems a bit unkind to break up their CP.

Forget it, let’s talk about it when the time comes!

Nobita was too lazy to think about those messy things. If he really liked her, he would just rob her. At worst, he would compensate Brother Ning with some gold and silver and let him go back to do some small business.

There are so many stones around, and if you just convert some of them, it will be enough for Ning Caichen to live on for a lifetime. That Xiaolan, maybe he can also snatch her back. Although she may be second-hand after being snatched back, but in this ancient world, it doesn't matter if you marry a second-hand or third-hand wife. At least it's not like the kind in later generations where after having sex, the wife will ask for a house and money, and if you don't give them, she will turn around and sue you for rape, and finally be betrayed for three years.

Hey? The rain has stopped!

Nobita turned and looked outside the door.

The moon hung high in the clear night sky, like a polished silver plate, quietly pouring out her light.

The air washed by rain is fresh and peaceful, like a deep breath of nature, full of vitality.

The earth after the rain is particularly quiet under the moonlight, with only the occasional sound of dripping water and the rustling of leaves in the breeze breaking the tranquility. These sounds, against the backdrop of the moonlight, add a bit of poetry and romance.

"Wahahahaha...Prajnaparamita, borrow the Dharma from the universe, let's go!"

At this moment, a loud laughter suddenly came from the sky, breaking the silence of the night.

What is this line?

Nobita quickly looked up and saw a huge shadow suddenly crossed the night sky and flew towards the distance.

According to Nobita's telepathic perception, the thing flying in the sky was actually a robot. No, it cannot be called a robot. To be precise, it should be called a mechanical puppet?

This puppet is several dozen meters tall, with a round body and a very simple appearance. It looks like an oversized drum with limbs. However, such a rather perfunctory existence can actually fly into the air.

And on this huge mechanical puppet, stood a middle-aged man with a bun and a beard. The man's hair and beard were red, like the sunset.

"Where did this rat come from, how dare you peek? The world is boundless, the universe borrows the law!"
