Chapter 2 Meeting and Acquaintance with Tang San The first time he met Tang San, Tang San saw him as a little boy picking mushrooms. He stopped and watched for a long time before walking away. After a while, Tang San came with a basket and picked mushrooms. Tang San's family was poor, and they had rice porridge for three meals a day, and it was so thin that one could even count the grains of rice in it! Seeing Zhou Qing picking mushrooms, Tang San, who was devoted to practicing martial arts, naturally understood the importance of filling his stomach, so he followed Zhou Qing and started picking mushrooms. "What's your name? Why haven't I seen you in the village?" Zhou Qing still remembers that when he was two years old, he saw Tang San, who was even thinner than himself, and asked this question. "Tang San." Tang San answered while picking mushrooms. "Oh, my name is Zhou Qing." Zhou Qing also said his name and asked, "Can I come to your house to play?" These are indeed words spoken by a two-year-old. "Sure, but my house is a mess."
Tang San was silent for a long time before he gave an accurate answer, thinking in his heart: I guess when he goes back and is scolded by his parents, he won't come again. Any children from the village who have been to Tang San's home will be scolded by their parents and will never come back again... This was the first meeting between Zhou Qing and Tang San, and it was uneventful. The second time Zhou Qing and Tang San met was at Tang San's house. Narrow and cramped. The first time Zhou Qing met the legendary Tang Hao, Haotian Douluo, he was actually a little nervous, but Tang Hao just glanced at him, said nothing, and went back to his room to sleep. The dignified Haotian Douluo has fallen to such a level. He is really fragile. "This is my home. It's a mess, right?" Tang San began to clean up - It was foreseeable that Tang San would clean up every day, but every time Tang Hao came out of the bedroom, he would make a mess of the already narrow living room. "Okay." Zhou Qing also took the initiative to join in. Tang San's eyes moved slightly. Although children from farm families have to take care of the family early, he is definitely precocious to be able to help with the cleanup at such a young age. "Go back." However, Tang San still planned to let Zhou Qing go home, so he said in a joking tone: "Otherwise, if your parents come over, you will get spanked." This sentence also made Zhou Qing more certain that Tang San was indeed a time traveler like in the original novel, because a child could not imitate such a frivolous tone. But Zhou Qing said casually: "I would like to be beaten, but unfortunately, the conditions do not allow it. I live alone." [An orphan? ] At that time, Tang San was stunned for a moment, and thinking about his own situation, he inexplicably empathized with Zhou Qing. Although he has a father, it's as if he doesn't have one.
The time travelers from ancient times did not think that Zhou Qing was in the same situation as him. They just thought that he had been alone since childhood, so at the age of two, he was as sensible as an eleven or twelve year old boy. This is the situation caused by the different ways of thinking of time travelers from ancient times to the present. Just like that—— Since the age of two, the orphan and the half-orphan had more frequent interactions. Tang San, a guy who lacked love in his previous life and in this life, naturally also hopes to have someone to talk to. And what about Zhou Qing? All I can say is that as an adult traveling through time, in most cases, due to the limitations of my thinking, I really can’t play together with the other children in Holy Soul Village. During this period, Zhou Qing would also show Tang San some of his life skills, such as which grasses in the woods could be wild vegetables. Although Tang San was born in the Tang Sect and knew about various poisons, he knew little about wild vegetables. Therefore, after learning how to distinguish wild vegetables and weeds, he became closer to Zhou Qing. After all, his family was really poor and mostly relied on old Jack for support. And since I learned how to dig wild vegetables...even though I still can't eat enough at home, I can fill my stomach a little. In addition, Zhou Qing will also test Tang San from the side to see what he thinks about his current state after rebirth. This is to facilitate Zhou Qing's future attitude towards Tang San. For example, the three ultimate questions in life: "Who am I?", "Where do I come from?", "Where am I going?" Of course, we won’t ask them so directly. Instead, when he was free from picking mushrooms and digging wild vegetables with Tang San, he lay on the hillside outside the Holy Soul Village, overlooking the entire Holy Soul Village, talking to himself, and seemed to be asking Tang San: "Xiao San, do you know? Sometimes, I wonder who I am? After all, I don’t even have parents. And if I can practice in the future, should I leave the Holy Soul Village and go out to be a spirit master?" At that time, Tang San was silent for a long time. Perhaps I was surprised that a two-year-old child could be so mature. Perhaps he was also thinking about who he really was—— In his previous life, he was a disciple of the Tang Clan, Tang San. In this life, is he...Tang Hao's son? At that moment, Zhou Qing clearly saw that Tang San's eyes showed a trace of doubt, but soon he became firm, and whispered in a very small voice: "I am Tang San, no matter in the past life or in this life, I am Tang San. Family affection... is what I desire, but what I miss more is the Tang Sect that gave birth to me and raised me, so--" Tang San didn't say the last sentence. But Zhou Qing also knew that Tang San had figured out who he really was during this self-questioning, and the last sentence he didn't say must be: [Rebuilding the Tang Sect in this Douluo Continent! ] "What are you mumbling about?" Although Zhou Qing heard everything at that moment, he pretended not to hear it, showing big puzzled eyes and asked curiously. "nothing." Tang San immediately came back to his senses, and covered up with a smile, "I was just thinking that when I grow up, I must leave the Holy Spirit Village and go to... a bigger place to fulfill my dream." "What dream?" Zhou Qing noticed Tang San's absent-mindedness, and realized one thing, that is, even the soul consciousness of an adult cannot completely conceal the inner emotions when the body and brain of a child are not fully developed. I am almost the same in this regard. "Of course, to become a soul master!"
"me too!" Zhou Qing smiled. Tang San also smiled. He was determined to rebuild the Tang Sect and make it his main goal. He deeply understood one thing: to establish a sect, one cannot do it alone, one needs disciples. Zhou Qing wants to use Tang San—— Tang San fell in love with Zhou Qing, who knew him well and was precocious and intelligent. It is truly a "two-way rush". Even though Tang San had no intention of revealing the Mysterious Heaven Skill in the past two years, Zhou Qing didn't care. After all, his relationship with Tang San had risen to the level of friends, which was enough... Back to the present. Zhou Qing invited Tang San and asked, "Would you like to come to my house for breakfast later?" "it is good." Tang San was frugal with words and agreed. After Tang San finished picking mushrooms, Zhou Qing went down the mountain with him. Open the door to your home. Zhou Qing then took Tang San in. The living room was not big, but compared to the narrow blacksmith shop in Tang San's home, it was much more spacious, and it was cleaner and tidier, without any peculiar smell. Tang San is also familiar with this place. However, Zhou Qing still prepared breakfast first, with Tang San helping him. After a while, the steaming rice porridge was ready. "Then I won't be polite." After Zhou Qing brought the mushrooms dipped in hot sauce, Tang San started to eat with his chopsticks. "When have you ever been polite?" Zhou Qing rolled his eyes, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, picked up a piece of sticky rice porridge with chopsticks, and put it into his mouth, "It's a bit thick." Tang San was speechless: "If I could eat this kind of porridge every day at home, I would be so happy!" After breakfast. Zhou Qing and Tang San have something in common to do... (End of this chapter)
