Chapter 11 Invitation

Phoenix SD Footh, Cemetery.

This place is not far from Baicheng, and walking on another county road is closer than to the mountain gate. The cemetery is divided into two areas. One outside is earlier and there is no plan, so it looks very messy. There are stone tablets, white marble, and poor families directly erected wooden signs and bought a palm-sized place in the corner, which looks very miserable.

It was much better inside. The square base built in a unified cemetery was hollow inside and used to store urns. It was row by row. A few years ago, it was empty here, but now it is full of tombstones.

Gu Yu rode over on his bicycle, with a bamboo basket tied to the back seat, which contained paper money and ingots. There were also plastic bags hanging on the handlebars, filled with incense, cigarettes and wine. He parked the car at the entrance, carried things to the innermost, and stopped in front of a tombstone.

The white monument, black characters, read: Grandfather Gu Xiuye’s tomb.

He took out three incense sticks, lit them with a light face, and inserted them into a small incense burner. The incense is nothing special, but he just spent his time in it, not fancy or tricks, and was straight and peaceful.

He didn't bring any flowers and fruits, because there were scavengers everywhere, and he saw beautiful flowers, wine cups, and even the melons, fruits, pears and peaches offered, he stole them without hesitation.

Nowadays, even urns have become a new skill for blackmail.

In addition to three incense sticks, he lit a cigarette and put it on the edge, and then burned paper money. The government encouraged civilized sacrifices, but the Chinese people are traditionally like this. If they don’t burn some paper money to sweep the graves, living people always feel uneasy.

Two bundles of yellow paper and a bag of gold ingots, they were caught when they encountered fire, and wisps of black smoke rose and gradually faded into the air.

Gu Yu held a branch and looked around casually while gathering paper ash. Here is the foot of Fenghuang Mountain, separated by brick walls, and the eastern foot of the mountain was not developed. It looked like it was full of strange rocks, mixed trees and weeds, revealing the roughness and ostentatiousness of the original ecology.

It was not during the Qingming Festival, and there were not many people visiting the grave.

Today is grandfather's death day. He stayed for a long time until the paper money turned gray all over the ground, and then he turned outside - there was also a monument burying his parents' ashes.

When I was very young, my parents went out to work, not knowing what they were doing, but they only knew that one day the fellow villagers who went there brought back a message saying that there was an accident and seven or eight people died, including them.

From where, my grandfather took him to live alone until he passed away two years ago. His impression of his parents was actually very indifferent and had little feelings. But when he occasionally remembered him, he was inevitably a little sad and lonely.

Gu Yu burned some paper money for his parents, but then he didn't go home. Instead, he carried a bamboo basket and walked around the cemetery, preparing to go up the mountain to pick some incense materials.

The resources on Phoenix Mountain are very rich, and there are many suitable for making fragrance. What he wants to pick is a round-leaf vanilla, which has white flowers. Because the leaves look like dog paws, the locals are also called dog paws.

My grandfather has been studying it for many years and found that it tastes slightly sweet and mild in nature. After processing, it can emit an extremely diluting and soothing smell. It is a good ingredient for making awakening fragrance.

"call out!"

He pinched his thumb and index finger and put it into his mouth, then blew a whistle, which seemed particularly clear in the empty mountains and forests. Then he walked for a while and blew it again.

Gu Yu looked around and didn't see Fat Brother. He thought that he might be playing or enjoying the sage time in his nest.

Dongshan is relatively primitive and difficult to walk on. He relies on his agility and is almost like walking on flat ground.

The dog paw grass was very dense. After a while, I picked a bamboo basket and picked some other fragrant materials. The air here was better than the north slope. He took advantage of the rest and simply found a bluestone to sit quietly, and felt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth again.

He has already done a very skillful job in quietness like this.

The so-called "nothing in the mind is empty, and no thoughts are quiet, perhaps because of his personality and experience, he found that he was very suitable for this state. Every time he woke up, his mind was calm and his consciousness was condensed, as if he was rejuvenated.

"Um?"

This time it was different. Gu Yu quickly opened his eyes and looked suspicious. The small fluctuation seemed to increase a little, but it seemed that it was not. It was too weak to be sure of it.

He couldn't help but frown. Since eating the red fruit, he has not only been magical, but has been full of fog and has no rules. He is not as ordinary as before.

Practicing and practicing is really like a joke...

He sat on the bluestone, leaning on his arms and worried. Sometimes there was a breeze, branches and leaves swaying lightly, and the sunlight penetrated through the dense forest with effort. The grass grew lush in the thin light, and butterflies lingered among the flowers.

Not far away, there are birds lying on branches, and a group of small insects are flying. This insect is called minced, commonly known as small bite. It likes to be crazy about humans in summer, and is very annoying.

He had seen those guys long ago and was too lazy to pay attention to it. Unexpectedly, the small black fog was getting closer and closer, and it was only buzzing and flew away when it was almost in front of him.

“…”

Gu Yu blinked and subconsciously held his pocket. That's right, he was carrying a deworming pill! Why is this thing getting worse and worse?

He has done tests before. Those with sensitive smell like mice have about five or six meters of avoidance. Those with less sensitive smell also have a buffering degree of two or three meters.

Unlike now, it's all flying under his nose! He doesn't think it's a problem with his incense, it's just a bug, and it seems that his resistance is getting stronger and stronger.

"Can you eat treasures even if you are a little bitch?"

Oh, it would be too exaggerated if he didn't believe it after he said it.

…………

"This is Phoenix Festival, why is it like a slum?"

"It seems that Shengtian doesn't have such a residential area? A small place is a small place."

As the evening approached, a Land Rover stopped at the intersection of Fenghuang Street. As soon as the car door opened, there were men and two women, the Zeng siblings and Li Meng.

When they asked the sanitation worker about their residence, they came over to visit. When they arrived at the place, they found that the siblings rarely reached a consensus.

There is little wealth here. Not to mention Land Rover, just a Kovos poked here, and those who came and went would glance at it. The three of them shaped their looks for a while, then grabbed passers-by and asked in detail.

The surrounding neighbors were all neighbors, and they soon found the specific address. They were turning around like a maze and finally saw an old courtyard, with even a piece of white tiles missing from the door.

The door was open, and the three of them looked at each other, shouting as they walked in, "Is anyone?"

"Is anyone here?"

Gu Yu had just returned and was filming dog paw grass in the west room.

The preliminary process of making incense is extremely cumbersome. Depending on the nature of the spice, it can be cooked, steamed, fried, moxibusted, and soaked to remove the odor.

The dog paw grass has a fishy smell, so it needs to be soaked in water, 30 degrees of water, for about two hours.

As soon as he immersed the material in the bucket, he heard someone shouting outside. He pulled out the curtain and frowned. He threw the door out and stood in front of the house and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Yo!

Zeng Yuewei was surprised when others didn't do anything. She came with inquiry, questioning, and resentment, but when she saw this, let alone anything else, her appearance alone had a bit of temperament.

I saw the other person's long legs and strong waist, straight spine, slightly thin lips, and warm and stubborn. It was not unique to manly, but it was full of beauty with young body.

After all, these days, social aesthetics are getting closer to girls with big JJs. It is not easy to pick out a pure man.

She suppressed her emotions. Although she was unhappy when she was criticized, her grandmother's affairs were still important in front of her.

Zeng Shufei was also afraid that his sister would have a bad thing, so he took the lead and said, "I bought your incense yesterday, don't you remember?"

"Remember, do you have something to do with me?"

"Can we go in and talk?"

“…”

Gu Yu paused, but still gave in: "Please come in."

As he said that, the few people entered the house. The siblings were not stupid. They not only did not have any contempt for the primitive shack of the caveman, but were full of kindness.

Especially the kang, sitting on it and touching it left and right, pretending to be like a real thing.

Gu Yi was not at ease and said directly: "What's the matter with you guys?"

"I will introduce myself first. My name is Zeng Shufei. This is my girlfriend Li Meng, this is..."

"My name is Zeng Yuewei, this is my brother!"

She didn't need anyone to introduce her and asked with a smile: "What's your name, handsome guy?"

"Uh, my name is Gu Yu."

"Ji? Is it the fish of Ziyu?"

"No, it's a squid that does not work."

“…”

The two of them suddenly had a clear idea. If they could get this sentence out, they would at least have some knowledge in their stomachs.

Zeng Shufei decided to go straight to the point and smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, I said it straight. Yesterday was my grandmother's birthday. She usually liked incense. Didn't I buy a few sachets? I showed it to the old man. As a result, my grandmother liked it very much and would definitely ask me to come to you, saying that she was old and had inconvenient legs, otherwise she would visit her in person. Today, I would like to invite you to come to the house and meet with her grandmother."

"this……"

Gu Yu was a little surprised and said carefully: "I am honored that the old man likes my fragrance, but I don't have to see anyone, right? Besides, I have something to do."

"It's okay, we can wait. You don't know my grandma's temperament. If you focus on something, you will never end. If you don't go, we can't get in the business when we go back, she will definitely have to ask. If you are really anxious, maybe you will come here by yourself. Besides, you will not delay much effort when you meet and chat." Zeng Yuewei also said.

"That's right, our car will pick up the car and take it back to manage the meals, and the after-sales service is absolutely reliable!" Zeng Shufei continued to add to the fire.

"You don't know. We climbed the mountain in the morning and asked the sanitation worker to find this. Just attack this, do you understand us too?" Li Meng finally made a critical blow.

OK!

After all the words were over, he was inconvenient to refuse, so he had to say, "Then you have to wait, I have to make some materials."

"It's okay, you're busy."

As he said that, Gu Yu poured three cups of water, took some fruit, and then got into the house and continued to tinker. He always felt inexplicably confused. Which old lady is so idle and still has to look at people?

He was busy in the west room, and the three of them were waiting in the east room, and they waited for two hours. Zeng Yuewei's butt was about to rot, and she didn't do anything else for a day today, and she sat in various positions.

Just when she couldn't help but rush in and grab people, the door finally opened. Gu Yan came out to wash his hands and apologized: "Sorry, it's been a bit long."

"It's okay, can you leave now?"

"Yes, yes."

So the four got into the car and headed straight for the East City.
Chapter completed!
