In the Tan family compound, the limousine parked steadily at the door, Tan Muxing got out of the car against the twilight, and when he entered the courtyard, he happened to bump into Tan Qiyu who was playing with birds.
Holding a small stick in one hand, Tan Qiyu carefully adjusted the utensils in the birdcage. He looked up and saw Tan Muxing who had returned, and said strangely: "Xingxing, the more you come back, the later it is."
Tan Muxing couldn't say that he would ride a certain distance before taking a car, he hesitated and said, "I was delayed on the road for a while, why did grandpa get down?"
Tan Qiyu smiled and said, "Hurry up and take a walk down the mountain while no one is bothering you, your grandma is too lazy to come down with me."
Tan Muxing nodded, he accompanied his grandfather to watch the birds, and did not go back to the house immediately.
"By the way, Mr. Xu Gandao will come home after a while." Tan Qiyu glanced at Tan Muxing's expression and said, "He came down from the mountain to say hello, saying that he will not come out of the mountain again in recent years."
Daoist Xu Gan has always lived in the Taoist temple, but he occasionally goes out to do errands. Now he says that he will not go to the mountains in recent years, that means he doesn't even do errands. There are people on the mountain who regularly buy food and water, and the Taoist priests will not have difficulties in life if they do not go down the mountain.
Tan Muxing nodded: "Well, yes."
Tan Qiyu wanted to imply that meeting the Taoist chief would be less time-consuming, but Tan Muxing's reaction was really flat. He sighed, "Are you still angry with Daoist?"
Tan Muxing whispered: "I've never been angry with the Taoist priest."
Tan Qiyu said angrily: "Oh, it's all up to me, I didn't expect you to be hiding behind the door, and you heard it at the beginning, this kind of talk shouldn't be heard by children... Forget it, you want to see the Taoist priest Tell me, it’s okay if you don’t want to see the Taoist priest!”
Tan Muxing replied honestly, he didn't plan to meet Daoist Xu Gan, and he didn't know what to say when he mainly met.
Tan Muxing exchanged greetings with his grandfather, then walked through the corridor with his schoolbag on his back and walked towards his room.
It was dusk, and the plants and trees in the courtyard were the same as they were many years ago. Whenever he walked through the deep path, he could always recall his childhood memories.
He lived here as long as he could remember, wandering around the courtyard surrounded by adults during the day, sleeping on a simple big bed covered with stars at night, occasionally hiding in the study to scare grandpa. His parents were busy with work at the time, so he lived with the elders, so he couldn't get out of the huge family courtyard.
There are always Taoist priests visiting in the compound, most of them are small Taoist priests who come to deliver seasonal vegetables and tea, and only Taoist priests in different clothes visit the door on one day.
Tan Qiyu respectfully invited Daoist Xugan into the room, and the two began to discuss solemnly in the study.
The young Tan Muxing didn't understand the reason why the Taoist came here, he still hid behind the secret door in the study, hoping to jump out when his grandfather passed by to scare people.
However, the serious conversation between Grandpa and Daoist made Tan Muxing hesitate to disturb, and at the same time it was not easy to sneak out at this time. He could only hide behind the door, peeping at the situation outside, waiting for the adults to finish.
But they seemed to be talking about him.
The words of the Taoist priest are quite difficult, and children can't understand them at all, such as "Three generations of generals are taboo in Taoism", "The crime of killing is too heavy, and the karma is too deep" and so on.
Tan Muxing vaguely realized that he seemed to have done something wrong before, and the Taoist priest told his grandfather to keep an eye on him not to do it again. He didn't know how long ago that was, they called it "a lifetime".
Talking about Mu Xing that day, after his grandfather and Taoist priest left, he quietly came out of the study and did not mention this matter to anyone.
When her parents returned from work, Tan Muxing also left the compound and returned to live with her parents in the city.
"Mom, what does it mean to kill too much?"
"It should mean that a lot of people were killed. Did you know about it from watching TV with grandma?"
"The bearded uncle on the mountain said that I have committed too many crimes..." Tan Muxing was young, his skin was as white as porcelain, his eyes were red, and he said in a low voice, "Mom, am I a bad person?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, uncle with a beard?" The mother suddenly realized, and hurriedly explained, "That's all feudal superstition, don't take such words seriously, of course the stars are not bad people!"
After her mother coaxed her for a long time, Tan Muxing finally felt relieved, and even forgot the bad memories of the study.
Because of this matter, Tan Muxing once resisted going back to the Tan family compound, as if when he stepped into the gate of the courtyard, he met the Taoist priest head-on, remembering the dark matter buried deep in his heart.
Time will make people forget many things, but it will not make people completely forget.
As Tan Muxing got older, he spent less time returning to the compound, and began to meet peers in the kindergarten.
The summer wind in the imperial capital is sultry, and the children walk on the scorched ground, returning indoors after a short outdoor activity.
The conflicts between the children happened quickly. At first, it was just a fight for toys, followed by unexpected pushing and shoving.
That was the first time Tan Muxing realized that he was different from others.
Tan Muxing didn't want to let go of the toy in his hand, but the other party started to grab and pull desperately, but he couldn't shake his steady self. He just pushed away the other party in a learned manner, but caused the person in front of him to fall to the ground hard, and the immature skin rubbed bright red on the ground.
Sand, blood, crying, and the terrified eyes of the children around.
Tan Muxing held the toy anxiously, suddenly didn't understand what he did wrong, and was at a loss under the eyes of everyone.
The teacher who came over checked the man's wound, and she sternly warned both sides: "No violence."
Tan Muxing was not the first to strike at fault, but his strength did bring pain to others, and even he himself could not control this strength.
He may have really done something in a certain life, the feeling is innate, and there is no need to practice at all.
The injured child was sent to the infirmary by the teacher, and the rest of the children stayed far away from Tan Muxing. They all looked a little scared.
Tan Muxing looked down at the toy in his hand, suddenly felt bored, and put it back into the toy basket.
He has a lot of toys at home, and his parents will buy whatever he wants, as if he doesn't want to let it go, it doesn't matter whether he fights or not.
It turned out that it wasn't a feudal superstition, but he didn't want to believe it from the bottom of his heart.
Don't use violence and it will be fine.
In front of the desk, Tan Muxing shook his head desperately, trying to get rid of the past, and then concentrated on drawing sketches.
He shook the draft, and couldn't help feeling a little worried, the deskmate seemed to prefer gold
He can borrow Chu Qianli's homework, help her with some simple chores, accompany them to record astrology videos or do divination, and even ride home with her at a distance... He never thought about anything else, he felt that it was all done now very good.
Simple happiness is precious and should not be expected too much.
It is better to be a fool than a general.
The school party came to a successful conclusion. The students in the class took the stage to perform an ancient costume drama. Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing played tricks in troubled waters throughout the whole process.
After the party, only the final exam was left, which gave Chu Qianli a headache.
Chu Qianli lay down on the table in frustration, she couldn't read the book at all, and muttered: "Why haven't you come to me with a lot of money recently?"
Chu Qianli is now studying the Red Crystal Tarot. She still does divination online, but she has never met any wealthy clients.
She looked at Tan Muxing with sad eyes: "Am I too angry?"
Tan Muxing's eyes dodged, he explained in a panic: "I haven't met a very suitable one recently..."
Qiu Qingkong mainly manages the online customer group, and Tan Muxing introduced the rich boss. The two are in different directions of expansion, and jointly build a complete customer network.
In fact, Chu Qianli became very famous at the Qi family's birthday banquet, and countless people were asking for her name, and they all heard that there was a new young master in the imperial capital.
Qi Chengliang didn't want Qi Yan's people to be in the limelight, and he didn't know Chu Qianli's name, so he didn't answer the question at all, and blocked the questioners from the door. Qi Yan usually attends classes at school, and hasn't officially entered the circle yet.
He Jianping had guessed that the young master was Chu Qianli, but he didn't want to pass Tan Muxing's introduction hastily, and would occasionally ask questions for others, hoping to know Chu Qianli's time through Tan Muxing.
There are many rich bosses who want to ask Chu Qianli for questions, but Tan Muxing has been afraid to answer at all recently, mainly because the final exam is coming.
He knew very well that his deskmate wanted to avoid studying by divination, but he didn't do well if his grades in the final exam were too poor, and he had to put aside the matter of making money for a while, so that he could get a graduation certificate at least.
Tan Muxing persuaded kindly: "It is said that someone will look for you after the final exam. Everyone is busy during this period of time."
Chu Qianli sighed: "But I still want to make a lot of money before the holiday, otherwise I won't have a chance to go back to the village."
Tan Muxing was taken aback: "Are you going back to the village during the holidays?"
"Yeah, I haven't been back for a long time, so I need to clean up my house anyway." Chu Qianli used the red crystal Tarot to get some information, and he still needs to go back and look through his grandfather's old books, maybe he can figure out something new.
Tan Muxing calmed down, and he found that Chu Qianli also called the village "home", and he never shy away from mentioning the past.
"Oh, otherwise, go to the money printing machine and cry poorly, and cry out a wave of money in advance..." Chu Qianli began to nest on the table and ponder. ?"
She was just about to write "You are working hard, you find a way" all over her face, which can be said to be crying.
"No, I really can't..." Tan Muxing shook his head resolutely, he was afraid of being swayed by her eyes and delaying her final review time.
He thought about it, decided to divert the question, and asked: "By the way, you are not going to celebrate your birthday. Now you have two choices. It depends on which one you like. One is..."
Chu Qianli: "I want both!"
Tan Muxing was surprised: "Ah? But I'm afraid there are some things that you don't like?"
Chu Qianli said decisively: "Don't ask, I want it too! If I don't like it, I will give you more. There will always be someone I like, Modo Modo!"
Talking about Mu Xing: "...All right."
Talking about Mu Xing's difficulty in diverting the topic with gifts, making Chu Qianli forget about the divination, but unexpectedly, Qiu Qingkong came over and said a word.
Qiu Qingkong said worriedly: "Teacher, do you have any way to enhance your luck? I know that eating crystal powder is useless, but I heard that incense is offered at the opening ceremony of the crew? Is it like this?"
Chu Qianli explained: "Ah, I don't engage in rituals, and I don't like to study this kind of art. I prefer to follow the laws of nature. I believe in Marxism."
Some people not only learn divination but also burn incense and worship Buddha. Chu Qianli does not have this belief, so he will not touch some things. She has studied Chinese and Western in astrology, and it is a bit embarrassing to do these things. Should she believe in the gods of the East or the gods of the West? Isn't that embarrassing
Qiu Qingkong scratched his head helplessly: "Okay then, let my dad find it by himself, I also said that you can earn the money, who knows who he will be cheated by again..."
When Chu Qianli heard this, her eyes lit up, and she suddenly raised her head and said, "Fresh is wronged... No, fresh honored guest! Tell me what is the matter first?"
"But you don't want to engage in incense ceremony?"
"Solving problems doesn't just rely on rituals. Tell me what you want to do?"
"Isn't our family engaged in media? Then the company wants to promote a boy group, so they want to do some ceremony before their debut, which is similar to the launch of a film crew. You also know that whether an artist is popular or not is metaphysical. My dad and the others believe it a little bit. "
Tan Muxing found that Chu Qianli was moved, and he reminded weakly: "We are about to take the final exam, it seems that we should review first..."
Qiu Qingkong argued: "It's not very complicated, just take a trip, the company is very close."
Chu Qianli and Qiu Qingkong hit it off immediately, and they decided to go to the company to see the situation, which made Tan Muxing, who worked so hard to persuade her to learn, very helpless.
Fortunately, the media company is not far away, and Chu Qianli doesn't have to rush there on weekends.
The three of them took the car after school and arrived in twenty minutes. The company is divided into areas, and the trainees have a special activity area and a practice room.
Qiu Qingkong brought Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing into the company. After greeting the staff, she led her partners to the practice room, just in time for the boy group's singing and dancing practice before their debut.
Chu Qianli knew that the company wanted the boy group to be popular, so she wanted to have a sense of ceremony before her debut, but she stood outside the practice room and watched for a long time, and suddenly found that some jobs were really unacceptable.
Chu Qianli stood stiffly for a long time, she looked at Qiu Qingkong, and asked tentatively: "Otherwise, why don't you let uncle find someone by himself?"
Qiu Qingkong asked in surprise, "Why?"
Chu Qianli thought hard, touched her chin, and struggled: "Well... it's not only about rituals that can solve problems, but there are still some problems that can't be solved with rituals and other things."
Tan Muxing accurately translated: "She means that singing and dancing like this can't be saved by metaphysics."
Qiu Qingkong: "..."
