On the mountain on the outskirts of the imperial capital.
The guard who had just packed up and was about to change his guard looked at the time - there were still ten minutes left before the time came, just enough time for him to catch up on the update.
However, when I opened the app, I discovered that the three books I was following in the bookshelf were not updated... Is it because the Internet connection is not good?
He was worried, so he subconsciously clicked in, and then found to his despair that these three books were really not updated!
——How could this happen?!
Today is a day of holiday and activity, so these authors didn’t even send a request for leave, so they just acted so directly? Is this reasonable? This doesn’t take their readers into consideration at all!
I scrolled through the comment section again, and sure enough, there were a lot of complaints and curses.
[Thieves! Doves are like pigeons, and I don’t even ask for leave.]
[@Besides, you have been working hard every day, why is there no movement today? 】
[I knew that once the copyright of Qingyun was sold, people would become less diligent]
How hateful!
The sad reader scolded each of the three books, and then he felt heartbroken and changed his job.
And the moment he exited the app, new chapters of the three books were released at the same time.
"Sorry, I was drunk yesterday"
…
And at this low-key gate, the guard stood there solemnly, but his soul had not yet recovered from this emotion. He saw the familiar courier boy driving over again, and finally moved a few couriers neatly.
Come down.
After the young guard checked them one by one, his heart couldn't help but tingle.
Without him, there was an express delivery from Mr. Zhu, which was sent from Qingxi Town, Yuncheng.
Good guy!
He quickly looked around the community, and sure enough he saw Xiao Du's familiar face rushing towards him, asking him questions from afar
"Is there any express delivery from our old man? He stared at it early in the morning and saw the signature."
For what purpose, it is self-evident.
Sure enough, when Xiao Du pulled the pile of express delivery over and saw the express box from Qingxi Town, Yuncheng, the other person held it in his arms and ran away without saying a word.
The doorman looked at his retreating figure, turned around and quickly made phone calls one by one.
"Mr. Zhou, there is another express delivery from Qingxi Town today..."
…
Lao Zhu has now learned to be patient.
After all, bloody experience told him that he could not run fast as he got older. If someone stopped him halfway and started a fight, he would inevitably lose something in his arms.
It's better to count on Xiao Du and wait at home.
But he didn’t feel at ease waiting - because if those old guys got the news in advance and shamelessly stopped him halfway, Xiao Du wouldn’t dare to fight them!
At this moment, he was pacing back and forth in the yard, feeling embarrassed in every possible way.
Fortunately, not long after, Xiao Du ran in panting, then stood up straight solemnly, and placed the express box in Lao Zhu's excited palm.
The next moment, the old man and the young man looked at each other and quickly entered the house——
"Crack!" Close the door and lock it in one go.
Lao Zhu skillfully opened the box and saw twenty marinade packets wrapped inside, as well as a mineral water bottle wrapped in the middle.
[An app that has been running stably for many years. It is comparable to the old book-chasing tool. It is used by all old bookworms.
What are you talking about?"
Then, without waiting for Xiao Du to retort, he quickly took out his own small wine cup from the cabinet and carefully poured half a cup into it.
How can an old drunkard resist the mellow aroma of that wine?
Holding the wine glass at this moment, he suppressed his eagerness and took a careful sip.
"Good wine!"
After one sip, my heart and liver seemed to tremble, that kind of cold yet mellow stimulation...
After "rubbing", Lao Zhu's eyes lit up!
He hurriedly put down the wine cup in his hand, then tightened the mineral water bottle and started spinning it around the room.
"Xiao Du! Quick, quick, find a place where no one can find it and hide it."
Xiao Du paused, then picked up the wine bottle and entered the back room.
He came out not long after, but Lao Zhu was stunned and wary, "Where are you hiding? Are you not planning to give me a drink in the future?"
Xiao Du smiled and said, "Old man, the doctor said you really can't drink it. Your family also gave you many warnings..."
"I don't believe it!" Lao Zhu said loudly, "I never heard the doctor say that!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard familiar noises coming from outside the yard.
He trembled in his heart, thinking about his precious tobacco. Without saying a word, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then quickly ordered
"Hurry, clean it and put it away. I'll open the door."
Nowadays, these old guys are as helpless as Niubi Tang, so he might as well open the door as early as possible to show that he is just collecting some braised ingredients packets, and he doesn't feel guilty.
Alas, it was my granddaughter who was considerate and sent twenty packets of this marinade. She was clearly trying to make a fool of herself, fearing that others would steal his wine, so she shared this with everyone to divert their attention...
What a granddaughter!
He was thinking so hard and kept moving his hands. When he opened the door, it turned out to be the same group of robbers again.
The leader, Mr. Zhou, smiled kindly, "Old Zhu, we have been brothers for so many years, you don't want me to say it out, right?"
Lao Zhu snorted, and it was very similar to what happened, "If there is something, you can run faster than a rabbit - what, my granddaughter is filial? I can't be a solitary eater?"
As he spoke, he angrily took the express box over and revealed twenty packs of marinated ingredients simply wrapped inside.
"For braising tea eggs, share two for each person. You can eat a lot of meals in this pot if you keep it in the refrigerator."
Everyone looked at him with subtle expressions, and then silently put the bag of marinade into their pockets.
When there were only two packets of marinade left in the box, although Lao Zhu was heartbroken, he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the next moment, I saw Lao Zhou in front of me smiling like a fox.
"Old Zhu, next time you trick someone into gargling your mouth first, your mouth will smell like wine!"
"And the smell of wine in this room, I can't even pretend to be stupid - where is Xiao Du? Xiao Du, tell me where he hid the wine!"
Lao Zhu's eyesight went dark.
The granddaughter only sent one bottle this time. With their drinking capacity, how many sips are enough from one bottle of wine?
Therefore, Lao Zhu would rather die than give in and resolutely protect his secret, so that everyone struggled for a long time and finally dispersed unhappy.
As soon as they left, Lao Zhu patted Xiao Du hard on the shoulder.
"Well done! I guess they are not honest. Someone here is pestering me, and there must be someone over there who wants to be a robber..."
"Okay, okay, we're gone, please get the wine down quickly. I need to put it in a better bottle."
However, after the words fell, Xiao Du did not move in front of him. Lao Zhu looked over suspiciously and saw a trace of apology on the young man's simple face.
"Old man, the doctor really said not to drink it. So I really hid it... Why don't you find it yourself?"
