Xiao Zhai returned to Shengtian with the green snake.
Baicheng didn't know about it. Including the unlucky Tang Shuo, five people had already been bitten. The incident became more and more fermented on the Internet, and the media accused the local government and even the higher-level city to hold them accountable. The leaders were overwhelmed and finally decided to close the mountain, but it was doomed to fail.
This turmoil will last at least ten days until the safety situation is confirmed before it subsides slowly.
For Gu Yu, the biggest gain is undoubtedly Xiao Zhai's identity, and all the previous doubts have been explained. For example, the huanghuali she gave herself was really obvious.
It's worth 100,000 yuan, so you can give it away as soon as you say it.
He was at most surprised when Mo Laodao showed up before, oh, there are still people who practice in this world. But when it came to Xiao Zhai, he was secretly happy.
It is always said that the avenue is solitary, the supreme is ruthless, but is it really awesome
Cultivate a long life alone, watching the vicissitudes of the world, no relatives, no friends, no partner, no love, hate, joy... This kind of longevity is too straight.
In mid-July, it was sunny after the rain.
The air in Baicheng was already very good, and it was even more humid after the rain, dispelling the dry heat of the past few days. Early this morning, Gu Yu arrived at Zeng's house with two big bags after eating.
The courtyard is watered by the drizzle, and it looks more and more quiet, especially the row of gourd stands in the corner, which is in the time of flowering and fruiting, and the small gourds hanging on the vines seem to be verdant.
Gu Yu looked interesting, so he couldn't help but stop for a while.
The nanny who was cleaning the hall looked up and found it, and immediately called out: "Grandma, Xiao Gu is here... Come in quickly, kid, it's just rained and it's cold in the yard."
"Morning Miss Zhang!"
He greeted and stepped into the house. This nanny is in her forties, with a gentle disposition, and she takes good care of herself after getting acquainted with her.
After Fang sat down for a while, the old lady came out and said with a smile, "I'm practicing calligraphy, have you eaten yet?"
"Eat, what words did you practice?"
"Dare to write anything in cursive, official and seal script, anyway, it's not a climate."
The old lady said to herself, and asked: "Xiao Gu, you came here today, but the incense is out of the cellar?"
"Well, I just picked it up last night, take a look."
He took out a box and handed it over. Grandma Zeng opened it and saw six light white fragrant pills lying in it, the size of longan, with a luster like jade.
Before she could speak, Gu Yu took another big bag and said, "This is from Mr. He and Mr. Li. I've been busy recently, so I just brought it here today. Please return it to the original owner."
"this… "
The old lady was slightly surprised, and said euphemistically: "The gift they gave, I take it and return it, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"
"Oh, it's okay, they won't say anything."
Gu Yu smiled calmly, but the old lady's heart skipped a beat, and she responded instead: "Alright then, I'll keep it first."
Speaking of He and Li's weird behavior that day, of course Grandma Zeng would not ignore it. While she was shocked, she couldn't help wondering, what kind of ability does this young man have to make the two big bosses bow their heads in minutes
She is a fine person, even though she doesn't know the details, but based on the principle of friendship, her attitude is closer. The old lady knew that the bond between the two was incense making, and she had to work hard on it if she didn't want the connection to be broken.
So she sniffed Wenxiangwan, and asked the topic: "Little Gu, what's this called?"
"This is Banyuexiang, but I think it's hypocritical, so you can call it whatever you want."
"Then how to smoke?"
"Sit around the stove on a moonlit night, smoke slowly over a small fire. It's best to have melons, tea, and friends."
Gu Yu dragged on, then lost his tune again, and said with a smile: "Of course, you don't need to do it deliberately, it's just for fun. You watch TV, cook hot pot, and you still smoke."
"Ouch, you child..."
The old lady nodded to him, put away the incense very solemnly, paused again, and said tentatively: "Xiao Gu, to tell you the truth, I have some old friends coming in two days, and this incense is for the party. Yes. If you have nothing to do, come and play, Weiwei and Xiaofei are all here."
"Well… "
Gu Yu thought for a while, and said: "I don't know if I have time, you can let me know that day, and I will call you back if I go or not."
"Oh, that's also good." The old lady couldn't force it.
After finishing the matter, he got up to say goodbye, walked into the courtyard but suddenly paused, and said: "Grandma Zeng, I think your little gourd is growing very well, can you give me one."
"You can pick it anyway, the whole vine is fine for you." The old lady waved her hand.
"Oh, thank you then."
After all, this guy turned to the gourd stand, picked left and right, and reached out to pick a small 5cm long gourd. The skin color is clean, the shape is regular, and the upper and lower stomachs are about the same size. The jargon is called "Fuluqi".
The one with a big upper belly and a smaller lower belly is called "Fuludao"; the most common one is a small upper belly and a bigger lower belly, which is called Zhengxing.
There are many kinds of Wenwan gourds, and those below 8cm are called hand-twisted gourds. Gu Yu had used one before, but accidentally lost it, and this would be a whim.
When others cook gourds, they rub a layer of walnut oil and then rub them with a flannel cloth. Over time, the skin color will change from green to red, and from red to purple.
He was playing with gourds, but he planned to use spiritual energy to nourish them, so he could hold them in his hands and practice the control of spiritual energy.
After Gu Yu came out of Zeng's house, he carried another bag and ran to the nearby courier point. He has already completed the first batch of orders for fifteen boxes of refreshing incense and seven boxes of incense pills, and they will be delivered by post today.
Zeng Yuewei's friends are from well-off families, so that little money is no problem. More than 20,000 yuan has been transferred to the online wallet, which is enough to live for a while.
If Mo Laodao heard about it, his jaw would drop in shock, and the person who made him look up to the top would worry about life.
In his opinion, I will enjoy as much benefit as I have strength... This idea is correct. However, perhaps because of this, the old Taoist has been unable to break through.
…
Two days later, dusk.
The usually quiet Zeng's family suddenly became lively, and there were a lot of small cars parked outside the door, all of which were comfortable, low-key and inconspicuous. In the past, there were only Grandma Zeng and the nanny, but today there are more than 20 people standing inside and outside, thanks to the fact that the house is big enough.
Lei, Xiao, Zhang, Sun, plus the Zeng family, these five families have always been good friends. Now that the older generation has retired and the second generation is in power, this relationship is still maintained. The five families have an unwritten agreement to get together every six months and take turns to sit in the manor. This is the influential summer tea party and winter tea party in the Shengtian business district.
If the parental generation does not participate, it means the elder and younger generations. The four families each brought children, and the Zeng family naturally had Zeng Yuewei and Zeng Shufei.
And at this moment, under the gourd stand, Zeng Yuewei was chatting happily with a young man.
The man's facial features were tough, he was tall, and he spoke very frankly. He is the third generation of the Lei family, and the most favored one is called Lei Ziming. He has been playing with Zeng Yuewei since he was a child. He went abroad a few years ago and only came back at the beginning of the year.
The two were chatting when Zeng Shufei suddenly came over and opened his mouth and said, "Are you ready?"
"No, grandma asked again?"
"That's right! I didn't pick up the call, this kid doesn't know what to do!" Zeng Shufei looked unhappy.
Lei Ziming couldn't help being curious and asked, "Are you looking for someone?"
"Well, a new friend, grandma wants to invite him over."
"Such a big score? The old lady still needs to ask?" His expression was exaggerated.
"..."
Zeng Yuewei rolled his eyes at him, and said: "You can't say that, that person is just a little strange, and I can't grasp it."
"Wow, to be able to say this from your mouth, I really want to see it!" Lei Ziming became interested.
