I first drove to Shanghai Pudong Airport and then took a morning flight to Jiamusi. After getting off the plane, the people from the car rental company were already waiting. After swiping the credit card for prepayment, I drove directly for more than an hour to the city of Hegang.
Today, everyone in the bookstore planned to rest here, and then go into the mountains and the old forest to find the location of the dragon vein tomorrow.
There were quite a few people and animals coming this time, and we booked five rooms in total.
Zhou Ze and Yingying share a room, Little Monkey and Lawyer An share a room, Xu Qinglang and White Fox share a room;
Lao Zhang is temporarily alone in a room, because Liu Chuyu, Zheng Qiang and Yueya will also arrive later. Because the decision was made too hastily, they don't have time to come to Tongcheng to gather and set off together. They can only find transportation from their respective areas to get here as soon as possible. The last one will definitely arrive before tonight's midnight snack.
After all, when it comes to finding things, the more people there are, the better.
After settling down in the hotel,
The white fox went out first. This is the Northeast. Although it is not in the old forest, it is also half of her territory. As a great immortal who walked out of the old forest in her early years, she had to go out and say hello when she came back this time. All the little ghosts and monsters or the big monsters from the same sect would give her some face.
There is no need to expect them to help find the dragon vein. Even if they are willing, Boss Zhou will not let them join, but at least they can be prevented from causing trouble.
Xu Qinglang came to Zhou Ze's room.
After coming in, I found Yingying was not there.
"Where is she?"
"It's not easy to go out and buy a few houses."
"Haha, there are indeed more and more zombie houses now."
"There's no way. Don't you, a half-demon, have so many houses?"
"Me, half-demon?" Xu Qinglang shrugged. "This is really a very novel name."
In this day and age, the market is too big and there are not enough people to take over. We can only rely on monsters and ghosts to help speculate in real estate in order to maintain our lives.
Many cities have begun to attract talents by lowering the settlement qualifications to find buyers. Those who have money to buy houses are talents.
In fact, we can find a unique way to develop the purchasing power of non-human groups.
"In fact, the houses here are not cheap. The ones that were exposed online are resettlement houses in bad locations. However, with such speculation, people who own houses in this city will probably curse, because their own houses have shrunk in value all of a sudden."
"Okay, we're not here to talk about the house. Let's talk about finding the dragon vein. Do you have any method?"
Zhou Ze sat down on the small sofa, with the coffee that Yingying had made for him before she went out in front of him.
"The one inside you, don't you know the method?"
"He only knows how to eat."
I can't do anything except eating.
“I have no problem looking at Feng Shui, but finding the dragon vein is too big a topic. I don’t even know how to start. Generally speaking, when a dynasty is founded, there will be great Feng Shui masters, but their ending is usually not good.
I can only sense an approximate location through the formation, and then combine it with the white fox's experience to determine a similar area.
But you know,
Even if you just poke a pin on the map, it's still a large area in reality, and in the end you still have to rely on people to slowly find it."
"This has to be quick. I just called the pharmacy, and the Taoist priest hasn't woken up yet."
"I'm just wondering, the old Taoist is already like this, why didn't you help him to continue before you came out?"
"His situation is different from what you imagined. At present, other methods are not feasible. Only by finding the dragon vein can there be hope of breaking the situation."
"Okay then. I'll go back and finish the last bit of the formation and try to finish it before midnight. Once we can sense the approximate coordinates, we'll go into the mountains to look for it tomorrow."
"Thanks for your hard work."
"Old Zhou, you are too polite. It's all for the old Taoist. After all, we have been together for such a long time. Although we didn't expect to be together forever, at least we are friends. We can't just watch him die."
"Um."
… … …
Unlike other people's busyness,
Lawyer An is a bit free now.
He had thought about asking the boss to go to Old Monkey to see if he could find a helper.
But everything still depends on the progress of finding the dragon vein in the next few days.
After all, favors are something that become less and less each time they are used. If you really can't find any clues, just ask the old monkey for help.
As for whether the old monkey is convenient to take action or whether he has any unspeakable secrets,
Lawyer An has thought about this.
After all, it seemed strange that such a powerful old monkey would just sit in the pond and eat fish all day.
but,
It's good to be useful.
No matter if you have any questions or troubles,
You don't say,
I just pretended I didn’t see it, didn’t understand it, and didn’t know it.
Hegang's urban construction is pretty good.
It just seems a little deserted.
On the street,
There are many shops.
Most of them are real estate agents.
This is basically the norm in many small cities in China.
Of course.
There are also many entertainment venues.
If I hadn't had a soul that was nurturing the demon pill with the white fox,
Lawyer An really wanted to go in and relax.
Oh no,
To use the words of praise to Mount Tai,
It's not easy for everyone to work, we should comfort each other and help take care of the business.
“Huh…”
Yawning,
I looked at the sky again.
Most of the day today was spent on the road and on the plane, and it is actually almost dark now.
After thinking about it,
I'm too lazy to go back to the hotel to eat.
Just find a place to deal with it.
Lawyer An went into a barbecue restaurant.
It's called a shop, but it's actually a stall. It's quite large, but it's too early, so there aren't many customers yet.
When Lawyer An went in, there was only one customer sitting in the corner outside eating.
I ordered some random food and a few bottles of beer;
Lawyer An also found a table outside and sat down.
He first took out a small bottle from his arms, unscrewed the seal, and drank the red spider lily oral liquid.
ha…
My appetite came back immediately.
Another sip of ice-cold beer.
The taste of life suddenly began to permeate.
Lawyer An was somewhat relieved that the impact of taking out one soul was nothing more than sexual desire.
You definitely want it very much when you want it, but you won't die if you don't do it. If it affects your appetite, then it would be really uncomfortable.
"No wonder so many people in ancient times cut themselves off to become eunuchs in order to make a living."
Lawyer An poured himself another glass of wine.
I toasted to the eunuchs of all generations.
At this moment, he and they reached a certain resonance on eating and that work.
"What oral liquid did you just drink?"
The guest who arrived earlier than Lawyer An suddenly turned around and asked.
"Vitamin oral solution, supplements calcium, iron and zinc."
"Oh?" The middle-aged man seemed very curious about this and asked, "Which brand?"
"From Sanlu."
“From Sanlu?”
"Yes, this brand is very good. I have been drinking it since I was a child."
"Really? Then you should be in good health."
"Yes, I have been fine, except for the stone surgery I had a while ago."
"Oh, is there a stone growing inside your body?"
"yes."
"Wow, that's scary. Stones can actually grow inside the body."
"That's not the case."
"If there are too many stones, the conscience will become hardened."
"Oh, maybe that's true."
Lawyer An thought that the other party was just chatting with him and deliberately cooperating with him. After all, who doesn’t know what Sanlu is
I always feel that this guy is quite knowledgeable, maybe he is a crosstalk performer.
There's nothing else to do anyway.
Lawyer An first handed the other party a cigarette.
The other party picked up.
Lawyer An simply stood up, picked up the beer, put it on the other party’s table, and sat down next to him.
Greeting:
"Hey, boss, here are the dishes."
Lawyer An lit a cigarette for himself first.
The other party also held the cigarette in his mouth.
Lawyer An came over.
Help the other party to order.
“Huh…”
“Huh…”
Lawyer An saw that the other party actually inhaled the cigarette without spitting it out and swallowed it.
"Fuck, bro, you smoke like crazy."
"Haha." The other person smiled and said, "I don't usually smoke."
"Then don't learn it. It's no good learning it. It's not as harmful as drugs. But to be honest, quitting smoking is no easier than quitting gambling.
Because it’s not expensive and it won’t kill you.”
"I remember there was a period when opium was plentiful."
"There's no opium nowadays. It's out of fashion. But I did get a big pipe a while ago. Tsk, tsk, I forgot to buy some tobacco to try it out."
The big opium pipe was brought back by Xu Qinglang from the shop opened by the two little monkeys last time according to Zhou Ze's instructions, and was discovered by Lawyer An.
"Come on, let's go together."
The two of them clinked their glasses together.
Then drink it all in one gulp.
"It's comfortable and refreshing. I still think the skewers from Northeast China are the most delicious and suit my taste best."
The other person also laughed, but it was a very reserved laugh.
Just at this moment, Lawyer An's lighter fell to the ground. Lawyer An bent down to pick it up and found two boxes of batteries wrapped in plastic film next to the other party's feet, with various sizes, specifications and models.
"Brother, why did you buy so many batteries? Are you doing this kind of business?"
"No, there was no electricity at home, so I bought some more."
"Oh, then the living environment in your hometown is too bad. Houses here are not expensive. Aren't there resettlement houses that sell for hundreds of dollars per square meter? Why don't you buy one here? At least there will be electricity and water supply. You can also bring your family to live here."
"There are many people at home, so it's not very convenient. I'm also busy with work and don't have time to live here."
"Alas, there is nothing we can do about it. Every family has its own problems. Speaking of work, I used to have a job."
"Oh? What job?"
“I’m a civil servant, but you know, the leaders above me are so fucking stupid, they’re all like idiots.
Later, I was really tired of my job, so I quit and started my own business.
Hanging out with those idiots, there's no future, and I don't even know how I died."
"oh."
"Oh what? Cheers, drink!"
