Zhai Zhu

My grandfather is very eccentric, performing daily rituals of offering incense to himself, standing in front of his own spirit tablet and eating candles.
Villagers are fearful of my grandfather.
I am fearful of him too.
Later, I discovered that what they were afraid of was not my grandfather, but me.
Even grandfather is afraid of me.
...
My name is Chen Shi.
The Chen of honesty, the Shi of sincerity.

Above the Great Dao

Li Tianqing and the old man arrived at Chen Shi's home, where they saw Chen Shi's grandfather and the big black dog. Li Tianqing caught a glimpse of the Red Barbarian cannon standing in the corner of the wall and the black iron bullets in the dog's kennel. His heart skipped a beat, and with a cough, he said, "Grandfather, let's not trouble these people anymore. We can just spend the night under my godmother's tree."


The old man did not look toward the corner, instead, he smiled and said, "Since we have come to someone's home as guests, how could we possibly move out again? Older brother, I am Li Jindou from Quanzhou, and I apologize for the disturbance."


Chen Shi's grandfather quickly returned the courtesy and said, "I am Chen Yindou from Qianyang Mountain. My home is humble, but we still have two vacant rooms suitable for resting, just afraid of neglecting you both."
