Chapter 27 Find someone to drink

I spent some time transcribing the summary in my mind onto paper and compiled it into a book. When I looked at the cover and was about to choose a name, I hesitated and wrote "Nine-Character True Interpretation" in a playful way.

These are things that are prepared to be passed down to your family in the future.

Everything he learned came from his family, and he didn't mind it.

Moreover, this so-called "Nine-Character True Interpretation" is just a helpless move without the Eye of God. If you have elemental power, cooperate with formations and talismans, and use long-range advantages to cover the enemy with saturated firepower, it is a man's romance.

What's more, the inheritance of the ultimate killing weapon cannot be left to your family, so it's not a loss or a loss.

After walking out of Guanhai Pavilion, Ouyang went to his yard to wash up. It would not be good if others saw him like this.

Soon, Ouyang, who looked like a handsome young man again, walked out of the courtyard and went to the front hall to find Guiping.

"How are you doing at home these days? Has Gui'an come back?"

"Nothing happened at home, but there is something that needs to be decided by the master. Are there any other arrangements for the young master's full moon wine?"

Looking at Guiping, who seemed to be really just asking about arrangements, Ouyang decided to hammer it out again to emphasize what he meant.

"Be low-key. The family can celebrate by themselves and won't send out invitations. You let the family take care of it. That child will be the head of your family in the future."

Hearing this, Guiping could only lower his eyebrows and sneer.

As the person who had the most contact with Ouyang, he knew what the new head of the family meant, but other people in the house had other thoughts about the new head of the family.

This made him doubt his own knowledge, so he had to go around the corner to find out what Ouyang said.

"Okay, sir, I will definitely make arrangements. Also, Gui'an sent a message before. He will probably be returning home in the next few days."

"Well, I'm going out for a walk. Don't forget what I told you before to go to the General Affairs Department to apply for a maritime trade certificate."

"Don't worry, sir, I'll be back in a few days."

After chatting for a while, Ouyang found that there was nothing important in the house. After staying at home for twenty days, Ouyang decided to go out for a walk. He was in a good mood and planned to make an exception and have a drink with Beidou.

Looking at the sky, it was just after noon.

Walking through the deserted Yujingtai entrance, what you see is a field of blooming lotus flowers.

It’s midsummer, and the lotus flowers in the artificial lake are already in full bloom. It’s a beautiful time to see them.

Ouyang, who was strolling slowly along the way, found that there were a lot fewer tourists here. Without the noise of children, the croaking of frogs in the lake one after another, together with the cicadas in the bamboo forest nearby, embellished the hot midsummer.

The sultry weather has reduced the number of tourists in Feiyunpo. There are more sedans on the streets, all of which are businessmen in a hurry. At this time, only they can continue to run regardless of the heat.

Ouyang, who has achieved great spiritual power, can no longer feel the changes in the weather. No matter how cold or hot the weather is, it has almost no impact on him.

What he saw along the way gave him the illusion that if he stayed in one place and practiced hard, the outside world would be the same after he mastered his magic skills.

It seems like I've only stayed at home for twenty days...

When Ouyang arrived at Chihuyan, he did not go to the South Pier to look for Beidou, who might be working.

After passing through two alleys, we stopped in front of a relatively secluded small courtyard.

"Beidou? Are you at home?"

There was no response, so he walked into the yard and opened the unlocked door. In the room surrounded by four earth walls, there was a bed, a table, and two chairs. These were all the "real estate" of Beidou.

There was no one in the room, and Ouyang, who frowned slightly, turned and headed to the dock.

It’s so hot at noon, why don’t you take a good rest and wait until it cools down in the evening before working?

He has always known that Beidou is very hardworking, otherwise it would be impossible to have money to rent a boat without spending a little money to treat himself better.

But going to the dock to work when it’s so hot at noon is risking your life!

There is no God’s Eye in Beidou now!

Feeling a little annoyed and worried, he gradually quickened his pace and prepared to take a shortcut.

After so many years, the layout of Chihuyan has not changed much. Ouyang, who has been playing here since he was a child, shuttles through the alleys with ease.

Soon, Ouyang walked out of the crowded and narrow alley and came to the South Pier.

Under the scorching sun, no one was seen walking around on the dock. There were cargo boxes piled up everywhere, and workers in twos and threes gathered together and sat in the shadow of the cargo boxes to enjoy the cool air.

When they saw Ouyang walking along, they just took a look at him. Even though he was dressed in fine clothes and looked very handsome and obviously very rich, they had no motivation to come around and look for work.

Working in such hot weather is really life-threatening.

In the middle of summer, no high-intensity work is allowed between noon and three o'clock in the afternoon. It is a Liyue law that Ningguang added. When it was first promulgated, it was posted all over the docks of Liyue Port, and the Qianyan Army was always on duty.

The cargo transportation at the dock is replaced by small airships, but the work of loading and unloading goods still needs to be done by people. The intensity of the work is actually greater than that of manual transport of goods. With the continuous flow of airships delivering goods, it is difficult for workers to have time to rest.

.

After several workers died from exhaustion, Ningguang introduced this law to protect dock workers.

Ouyang walked around the pier and found no sign of Beidou. He turned and walked towards the storage center at the south pier.

At the door of a small warehouse, I finally found Beidou unloading goods.

"You're already a captain, and you're still working so hard? Have you found all the crew?"

Beidou, who was attracted by the familiar voice, turned back and saw Ouyang and said with great joy: "Why did you find yourself here?"

Under the scorching sun, Beidou's clothes were soaked through after hard work. His long black hair hung down, and drops of sweat hit the ground.

Ouyang looked at her cheerful smile and sighed.

"I'm bored. I want to find someone to drink with. Why don't I find you here?"

"Hahaha, just wait a moment, I'll be there soon! I'm treating you!"

Ouyang couldn't tell whether this excited look was because of the arrival of his friends or because he was going to drink.

When he picked up the goods and wanted to help, a calloused hand appeared in his eyes and held down the goods. Ouyang raised his head and saw Beidou with a serious look on his face.

"Brother, I don't need help. This is my job and I can finish it soon."

His tone was calm, revealing firmness and seriousness.

But Ouyang didn't agree with her.

"Do you know that you are delaying my drinking with your chattering?"

"you..."

"What are you doing? Hurry up. It's rare that I want to make an exception. Let me tell you, this time it's my treat. That's enough! Do you understand?"

After saying that, he patted Beidou's hand that was holding the goods away, picked up the box and walked into the warehouse.

Outside the warehouse door, she, who had the same red pupils as Ning Guang, looked at Ouyang who was struggling to carry the box and walked in, looking slightly embarrassed.

"Thank you, brother."

The tone was soft, like a whisper, dissipating in the air.

Ouyang took a deep breath, put the box in his hand into the pile of goods, and was about to continue helping when he heard Beidou's somewhat annoyed voice behind him.

"Asshole, you put it in the wrong place!"
