Another week in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Mi Wan came out of the gym at home and unexpectedly found that the breakfast had changed from the hard and simple in the past, and became colorful. The fried dough sticks disappeared and became crystal clear Xiao Long Bao, the white porridge was upgraded, fish, shrimp and seafood were added to it, and even the pickles in the porridge had an extra plate of meat sauce.
"Is it a holiday today?" Mi Wan sat at the dining table in confusion.
"No." Aunt Zhang smiled and put a small dumpling on Mi Wan, and said carefully, "Be careful it's hot."
Mi Wan took it and took a small bite. The delicious fragrance she hadn't tasted for a long time made her narrow her eyes happily. It's not that this xiao long bao can't be bought outside, but Zhang's xiao long bao is always better than the one bought in the small shop outside.
"Is it delicious?" Sister Zhang asked.
"Well, this is the best xiaolongbao I've ever eaten, Mrs. Zhang, how did you make it so delicious?" Mi Wan praised without hesitation.
"Actually, there are no skills. The main reason is that I peeled the crab roe inside, and then added a little secret recipe." Sister Zhang couldn't help but feel a little proud.
"Sister Zhang, since it's not a festival, why do you suddenly prepare so much food for me?" After eating a weight-loss breakfast for almost a month, it suddenly became so extravagant, and Mi Wan was still a little unable to adapt.
"Butler Ye said that Miss has been struggling to lose weight during this time, so she can take a few days of rest." Mrs. Zhang explained.
In addition to the 20 pounds he lost before, Mi Wan lost almost 40 pounds this month. Forty pounds, no matter how fat he was before, it was a huge change. The current Mi Wan has already taken shape in both body shape and face.
"Miss, this is for you." At this moment, Butler Ye walked in from the door and handed Mi Wan a silver card.
"This is?" Mi Wan looked at the colorful logo on the card and felt a little familiar.
"This is the shopping card for Times Mall. Today is Saturday. You don't have to go to school. Why don't you go out and buy some clothes for yourself." Butler Ye looked at Mi Wan's baggy clothes and blamed himself again. Why didn't I think of helping the young lady prepare clothes before, and she actually let the young lady wear clothes that didn't fit well to go to school, and it lasted for a month.
"No, I'm still losing weight, and I'll lose weight in the future. After I bought it, it won't take long for it to grow again. I'll buy it when my weight stabilizes." It didn't take long, and in a month, she lost weight .
"Miss, you're not bad for this amount of money." Butler Ye reminded his young lady with a smile that she was actually a rich man, "And the lady has been in a bad mood recently. Shopping can make you feel good."
"I'm in a bad mood?" Mi Wan was startled.
"Miss has become less talkative recently, she's not always hungry, and she's no longer picky about breakfast." Butler Ye listed Mi Wan's changes during this period of time, and finally asked, "Is something bad going on outside? thing?"
"..." Mi Wan was really in a low mood during this period of time, but Butler Ye didn't expect to see it, "It's nothing, it's just that a friend broke up with me."
"Miss's friend quarreled with Miss, is there any misunderstanding?" Butler Ye asked with concern.
"It's not a misunderstanding, it's just... Everyone's position is different." Mi Wan didn't know how to express the situation between herself and Fan Chen for a while.
"Miss is very concerned about this friend?"
Does it matter? At first, she deliberately flattered her just because she couldn't beat the opponent. Later, she found that the tree demon seemed to have a very good temper. He kept breaking through the barrier and climbing out of the wall. point helped her. Mi Wan thought that it might be that the illusion of harmony between human beings and demons after five hundred years deceived him, so that he actually gave birth to the idea of being friends with each other.
"It's alright, he has helped me a lot." It's no longer important whether you value it or not. After all, you and Fan Chen have different paths. "Everyone has different positions, and it will be a matter of time to break up."
Butler Ye doesn't know how a college student who is still at school can have a hugely different stance. It can be so serious that they can break up with each other. Is it because the idols they like are different
After making a guess, Steward Ye persuaded him as someone who had come over: "Miss, people have grown up in this life, and you will meet more and better friends in the future."
"You're right, I'll go out to make friends after dinner." Mi Wan also thought about it, didn't he just keep making friends, whoever is gone can't pass.
After dinner, Mi Wan went to Times Mall.
In the past few days, the weather in Cannes has been bad. It has been raining for several days. At this time, it is winter again. The rain is colder than the snow. few.
Mi Wan bought a cup of hot milk tea on the first floor, and then began to visit the mall floor by floor. She had no purpose. Everything she saw was novel. I learned a lot of new electronic technology, but I didn't buy a single piece of clothes. When she was hungry, Mi Wan just found a restaurant to eat, and when she was about to eat, she suddenly received a call from the squad leader Han Xiao.
"Squad leader?" Mi Wan answered the phone.
"Mi Wan, are you free tomorrow?" Han Xiao asked.
"Tomorrow, yes, what's the matter?" Tomorrow is Sunday, and she has no other plans.
"Then let's go to field research tomorrow."
"Field research? What research?"
"The homework in soil science, won't you forget it? It's due next week."
"Oh, I remember, remember." Mi Wan said three times with a guilty conscience. She had long forgotten about the field research of soil science.
"Then at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, we will gather at the north gate of our school. By the way, the other two classmates in our group are my roommates, Jin Mingxuan and Liu Gu." Han Xiao said.
"okay, I get it."
After hanging up the phone, Mi Wan felt melancholy again. She didn't know anything about the field research of soil science. No, you have to find a way to bribe it.
But what do boys like these days
Thinking of the snacks that were returned last time, Mi Wan flipped through her phone and wanted to ask someone, but her phone was either a monster hunter or a monster clan, and a slightly normal human being was Han Xiao, and she didn't ask me directly about this gift. The truth is not. Mi Wan hesitated for a while, and finally clicked on his little brother's WeChat account. Although he is a few years old, Mi Xiaodi is still a normal human male.
Mi Wan: (Do you know what boys like these days?)
Younger brother: (Are you in love?)
Mi Xiaodi seemed to be very excited. After sending WeChat not enough, a phone call followed. When Mi Wan was connected, he said, "Are you in love?"
"Go away." Mi Wan couldn't help but spit out the fragrance.
"Then why do you ask boys what they like? Isn't it for the boy you have a crush on?" Mi Shao thought his guess was very logical.
"Why is it that I have a crush on someone else, not someone else who has a crush on me?" Mi Wan felt uncomfortable.
"Just the way you look, can you be a little self-aware?"
"Say it again." Mi Wan vomited blood angrily.
"Cough... Then what, I have to know who you gave and why, so that I can know what advice to give you." Mi Xiaodi seemed to know that Mi Wan was angry, and hurriedly tried to make up for it.
"The one who sent it to our classmates wanted to bribe him so he could copy his homework at the end of the term." Mi Wan replied.
"... Promising." This reason is not as good as the crush.
"Hang up!" Mi Wan hung up the phone ruthlessly, deeply regretting that he had called Mi Xiaodi. Just thinking about buying something casually, Mi Xiaodi's Wechat message was sent over.
Younger brother: (Most boys like sports equipment or electronic products, just buy some commonly used ones. Also, don’t buy too expensive things for classmates. Although our family is rich, don’t give people the feeling of throwing money at people. , Be careful of others hating the rich, I won't copy your homework for you.)
"Dead child, you wait for me." Regardless of the process, the direction is still there. Mi Wan settled the bill, turned to the electronic product area on the third floor, and with the help of the clerk, bought three sports headphones that are said to be cost-effective and popular with young people.
After buying gifts, Mi Wan began to visit the clothing store. Considering that she would lose more than 30 pounds in the next month, Mi Wan didn't plan to spend too much time buying clothes for herself. After entering the store, she asked the clerk to match her with two outfits. After trying it on, she felt that they fit well, so she left wearing one of them.
When he got home, butler Ye saw the new Mi Wan, he burst into tears of relief, and couldn't help holding his mobile phone and called his eldest son again: "Master, our young lady has become beautiful, and she can see her waist. ."
"..." Mr. Mi.
After a night of rest, Mi Wan arrived at the north gate of the school early the next morning with the things prepared by Mrs. Zhang. Because it was a weekend, there were not many people outside the school gate, and most of the students were taking advantage of the weekend to stay in bed. Mi Wan looked around, looking for Han Xiao's figure, but turned around and didn't even see a figure.
"Did you come too early?" Looking at the phone, Mi Wan stood at the school gate and sent Han Xiao a WeChat message.
(I'm here, waiting for you at the school gate.)
"Student Mi Wan?"
Not long after Mi Wan's news was sent, a suspicious voice came from not far behind her. She turned around and saw that Han Xiao was standing in front of a black car, and two boys came down behind him. They were the other two classmates on this trip.
"Are you already there?" Mi Wan put away her phone and walked over.
"It's too cold, so we got in the car, sorry, I didn't see you just now." In fact, Han Xiao kept staring at the school gate, thinking that Mi Wan's tall figure must be very recognizable, but he didn't want it to be just a weekend. , Why did this man suddenly lose so much weight
Even the waist came out.
Han Xiao silently retracted his gaze to scan his waistline.
"It's okay, it's really cold, let's get in the car quickly."
Everyone got into the car again. After getting in the car, Han Xiao gave a brief introduction to the people. Because everyone was a classmate, they were familiar with each other even though they didn’t have much contact with each other, so they quickly became acquainted. The car belonged to Liu Gu, Jin Mingxuan sat in the passenger seat, Mi Wan and Han Xiao sat in the back seat.
Jin Mingxuan has a more lively personality, seeing that Mi Wan is more outgoing than he imagined, he speaks naturally: "Mr Mi Wan, we haven't seen each other for a day, why are you acting like a different person? "
"Is there?" Mi Wan wondered.
"Of course, sitting in the car just now, none of the three of us recognized that the girl who walked to the school gate was you."
"why?"
"You're too skinny."
Mi Wan's net height is almost 166. Although she still weighs more than 130 catties, with the blessing of the Sanskrit tree, her figure is well shaped. In addition, she took off the thick coat she used to wear and put on new clothes, and she looked like she was about ten pounds thinner than her actual weight. In the impression of Han Xiao and others, Mi Wan was still the fat man in a thick coat on Friday, but after a change on Saturday, Mi Wan caused them the visual impact as if they lost 30 pounds.
"Maybe this dress looks thinner." When she went home yesterday, Mrs. Zhang kept complimenting her on how nice and thin her clothes were.
"You look much better than before." Jin Mingxuan said sincerely.
"What happened to me before?" Mi Wan was curious.
"Well... I don't have a sense of existence." Jin Mingxuan couldn't say that Mi Wan gave off a gloomy feeling, so he had to use a milder word.
"I'm so fat, how can I still have a sense of existence?" Mi Wan pretended to be surprised, and instantly amused the three big boys in the car.
"Hahaha... Classmate Mi Wan, I didn't expect you to be quite humorous." Jin Mingxuan laughed, and the other two laughed too. As if the effort of a few words, the last bit of strangeness between Mi Wan and them also disappeared.
"By the way, I brought you a gift." Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Mi Wan took out the three headphones he prepared, "It's a sports headphones, you can use it for running and listening to songs."
The three of them were all stunned, except for Liu Gu, who was still driving, the others held the earphones that Mi Wan handed over in their hands, and couldn't recover for a long time.
"Mi Wan, what are you doing?" Han Xiao asked hesitantly, this time it wasn't chocolate, and it wasn't given to him alone, but he didn't pretend that Mi Wan was interested in him.
"Bribery." Mi Wan smiled.
"Bribery?" Everyone was puzzled.
"Didn't I miss half a semester of classes? I'm sure I won't know anything about this research today. I'm thinking of buying some small gifts to bribe you. I hope you don't dislike me, my pig teammate."
"Monitor, I finally know why you are willing to make up for classmate Mi Wan~~" Jin Mingxuan looked at his friend faintly, "If there are such bribes from time to time, I am also willing."
"What are you talking about." Han Xiao gave his roommate an angry look, turned his head and returned the gift to Mi Wan, "It is right for classmates to help, we all know about your absence from class, and we will not dislike you. Yes, you don't need to give gifts."
"But I bought it all, and the special price I bought can't be refunded." Mi Xiaodi said that he couldn't buy too expensive, so Mi Wan chose this special price. Of course there are cheaper earphones, but Miwan despised them for being ugly.
Han Xiao remembered that Mi Wan donated 100,000 yuan without blinking an eye, thinking that he would definitely be disdainful to return or sell such a few thousand yuan headset, so he did not insist on returning it, just said: " Don't send it after that."
"Have I succeeded in bribing?" Mi Wan took the opportunity to ask.
"Forget it!" Before waiting for Han Xiao to answer, Jin Mingxuan answered with a smile, "If there is anything you don't understand in the future, even if you ask us, although Liu Gu and I are not as good as the class leader, we are not bad."
"The squad leader borrowed your notes before, and they copied mine." Liu Gu took the opportunity to claim credit.
Mi Wan pursed her lips and smiled, only to feel that she was one step closer to passing. On the way after that, Jin Mingxuan took off Mi Wan's earphones. After complimenting the sound quality, he chatted about some music he liked. The happy crowd soon arrived at their destination.
Guyuan Village at the foot of Guyuan Mountain.
"Let's go to my house for lunch first." Liu Gu parked his car in the village parking lot and walked to his house with a few people.
"This is your home?" Mi Wan asked in surprise.
"I forgot to tell you on the way." Han Xiao introduced, "We originally planned to go to the parks under the Wushu Group to do soil research, but recently, all the parks under the Wushu Group have been closed for refurbishment, so we had to temporarily Changed a place. It happened that Liu Gu’s family was in Guyuan Mountain, so we chose this place. Liu Gu said that the vegetation on the mountains near their home has not grown very well in recent years, just so we can take some samples and go back for research. Comparative analysis The report will come out soon."
"I really hope that the King of Earth can see the mountain behind our house one day." Liu Gu looked up at the high mountains behind the village and couldn't help but sigh.
"Earth King?" Mi Wan raised his head sensitively, "Is that the Earth King Fan Chen?"
"Yeah." Liu Gu smiled, "If the land king buys Guyuan Mountain, I can suddenly become a demolition nouveau riche."
"What are you dreaming about in the daytime?" Jin Mingxuan couldn't help but kicked him.
Everyone walked laughing and laughing, and soon arrived at Liu Gu's house. Liu Gu's parents had long known that their son was going to bring classmates, and prepared a table of meals in advance for them. Because they had to rush back to school in the evening, the four of them did not dare to delay after having lunch, and they prepared to go up the mountain for research with the sampling tools.
"Xiao Gu, take this, don't forget to go and say goodbye." Before going out, Liu's mother handed her son a red plastic bag with a few apples and some incense candles in it.
Everyone was a little curious, but it wasn't easy to ask in front of Mother Liu. Jin Mingxuan couldn't help but ask when they got up the mountain.
"What did Auntie ask you to worship? The mountain god?"
"It's Shenmu, or it can be said to be a mountain god." Liu Gu replied.
"Shenmu? Your family still retains such ancient customs." Jin Mingxuan said in surprise. With the development of technology, the influence of gods on human beings has become weaker and weaker, and many customs have been gradually forgotten. Now, except for some old people in the village, they still remember to pay their respects during the festivals. Most young people no longer have this awareness.
"Shenmu, why is it called Shenmu?" Compared with Jin Mingxuan's focus, Mi Wan was more concerned about the origin of Shenmu's name.
"This has a story." Liu Gu said enthusiastically, "It is said that almost fifty years ago, one day, Guyuan Mountain was covered with dark clouds, and thunder was surging behind the clouds, but it just didn't rain, and it continued like this. After a whole day, such a thick lightning suddenly fell from the clouds, setting a mountain fire and burning it all day and night."
"Just make it up. Fifty years ago, you didn't even have a cell, so how did you know how thick the lightning was?" Jin Mingxuan scolded with a smile.
"My grandfather made this gesture, he saw it with his own eyes." Liu Gu argued.
"What happened after that?" Mi Wan asked.
"Later? Anyway, the mountain fire burned for a day and a night, and more than half of the trees on the mountain died. There was only one tree. It was in the middle of the mountain fire, but except for the appearance of a little black, there was nothing else. At that time, the people in the village were fine. It is superstitious, and it is said that this is a sacred tree, and then the custom of worshiping the sacred tree is cultivated during the festivals." Liu Gu said with emotion, "But now most of the people in the village have gone to the city to find work, and those who can come to worship are also welcome. Not much, so every time I go home, my mother asks me to worship the sacred tree, saying that it is to bless me outside."
The thunder that falls from the sky can't chop down a tree? If what Liu Gu said is true, then the scene is very similar to the scene of Tianlei's body when the monsters are transformed.
With curiosity about Shenmu, everyone continued to walk up the mountain.
"Here." After walking for about half an hour, they arrived at the location of Shenmu.
Everyone looked up and saw a huge cypress tree with a mottled body, about three meters in diameter.
"I'm going, it's a really big tree." Jin Mingxuan raised his head, he almost turned his head to his back and couldn't see the whole picture of the tree.
"This tree has been around for hundreds of years." Han Xiao's eyes were full of amazement.
"I don't know, and no one has ever calculated it seriously, but it will take two or three hundred years to say the least." Liu Gu said.
"It should have been more than a thousand years~~" Mi Wan suddenly said.
"Impossible, if there are thousand-year-old trees in our house, this place would have become a tourist attraction." Liu Gu laughed.
Mi Wan didn't explain. Ordinary people think that the longer the tree lives, the bigger the tree will be, and the easier it will be to be spotted. But trees with spiritual awareness are just the opposite. Unless they grow in the remote mountains, otherwise, in order to successfully transform, trees with spiritual awareness will carefully hide their own bodies and prevent themselves from being discovered by people until they transform. shape that day. If the transformation is successful, then it can leave the forest and take root anywhere it wants to go. If the transformation fails, the leaked demon power will make it grow into a towering giant tree in a short period of time.
The tree in front of him obviously failed to transform. It's just the size, it's not as big as other trees that Mi Wan has seen before, which failed to transform, probably because of the thinness of spiritual power.
In order not to cause a mountain fire, the people in the village built a small stone house at the foot of the sacred tree, in which incense and candles would be lit. Liu Gu put away the apple, lit the incense candle, and bowed three times seriously, then walked to the foot of the sacred tree, picked up a small branch and put it in his arms.
"What are you doing?" Han Xiao asked.
"The old man in the village said that after worshiping the sacred tree, take a branch of the sacred tree and put it on the body to keep it safe." Liu Gu explained.
"You are quite pious." Jin Mingxuan smiled.
"I'd rather believe it or not." Liu Gu packed up his things and said, "Let's collect samples quickly, it's going to rain again after a while."
"Then let's go." Everyone carried their bags and continued to walk into the mountains.
"Swish~~~"
Suddenly, a gust of cool wind blew and poured into people's necks. Everyone shrank their necks from the cold. Only Mi Wan suddenly turned around and looked at the big tree behind him in disbelief.
What were you just saying
"Quick~~~ Escape~~~"
