Lao Nie was silent for a moment, and then asked cautiously: "Tong Jiangnan is Lord Shuzu's most valued agent. If he dies, Star City will be turned upside down? Why... why are you in the mood to come here?"
Mao Doudou sarcastically said: "Is the tree ancestor you are talking about the weird tree? It is now the commander-in-chief, and it is like a turtle that dares not to show its head. Do you think we are avoiding it? It is because it is hiding and not daring to show its head.
Bar?"
When it comes to the topic of the weird tree, Old Nie is somewhat uneasy.
He was afraid of Tong Jiangnan, but in the final analysis, he was more afraid of Lord Shuzu.
After all, Master Shuzu is the one who can decide his life or death at any time.
If Master Shuzu learns that he has become a prisoner, he will most likely be executed.
Of course, Lao Nie still has some luck. If Tong Jiangnan dies, Lord Shuzu may not be thinking about a small character like him. Maybe he can escape from this?
Therefore, when Lao Nie heard that Master Shuzu had become a bare commander, he didn't understand it for a while.
"Brother, you just said polished commander, what do you mean?"
There is nothing to hide from Old Nie about the situation in Star City.
Mao Doudou sneered and said: "If you still imagine that any partner will come to save you, I advise you to give up as soon as possible. Tong Jiangnan died, Tang Pan died, and Meng Shuanglin died. The agent in Star City yesterday
Wan Danfan, who participated in the battle at the Crescent Harbor Base, were all wiped out. You should be lucky that Tong Jiangnan sent you to Panshiling, otherwise you would also be one of those hundreds of dead souls."
Old Nie was so shocked that he could hardly close his mouth.
Tong Jiangnan died. He had reluctantly allowed himself to accept this fact, but all his agents were wiped out. Isn't this too ridiculous?
Even if there were hundreds of pigs, it would be impossible to slaughter them so cleanly at night.
But looking at the demeanor of these young people, it didn't seem like they were lying to scare him. There was no need for them to lie to a prisoner like him.
Mao Doudou and others obviously didn't intend to say anything more to him. Seeing Jiang Yue walking towards the yard, they followed him.
Jiang Yue introduced: "This is my family's old house. It was handed down by my grandfather. Come in and have a seat."
Both the inside and outside of the yard were kept clean by Jiang Du, making everything look orderly and spotless.
This old house cannot be said to be luxurious. In this era, its shape even seems very outdated.
After all, this kind of two-story house still seems a little less heroic than the five or six-story large villas in other rural areas.
However, since ancient times, if the mountain is not high, it will be famous if there are immortals.
Jiang Yue's grandfather lived in this old house, Jiang Yue's father lived there, and Jiang Yue also lived there.
Invisibly, this house seems to have an indescribable temperament inside it, making people feel that every plant, tree, brick and tile in this house seems to have a profound meaning.
Entering the house, the furnishings in the main room are all antique. There are no luxurious furniture and appliances, nor are there any exaggerated decorations.
But it is such a simple and unpretentious house. As soon as you enter the house, you will feel a sense of weight, making you feel that the owner of this house is definitely not ordinary.
The coffee table and rattan chairs in the house look very unique. The tables and chairs are all made of pure natural logs. They don’t have the kind of fine carvings. The workmanship is simple and simple, but there is a profound heritage everywhere, making people feel like they are here.
The owner is very elegant and feels like a worldly master.
Jiang Yue came to the incense eucalyptus. There were portraits of the ancestors of the old Jiang family on the hall. To be precise, they looked more like portraits.
Jiang Yue respectfully lit the incense, bowed several times, prayed in his heart, and finished it all with a full sense of ceremony.
Sangou used to be somewhat perfunctory about this kind of ritual, but this time he was rarely very pious and serious, and he actually imitated Jiang Yue's style.
When the others saw this, they were too embarrassed to do anything, so they also stepped forward and bowed several times with bare hands.
The sister-in-law's family in the backyard heard Jiang Yue's movements and came to the main room.
The sister-in-law greeted Sangou with a smile: "Sangou, go to the back room and bring out some snacks and a fruit plate. Xiaoyue, pour tea for your friend."
My sister-in-law ordered, wiped her hands on her apron, and said with a smile: "You guys chat first, my sister-in-law will stew a goose for you today."
Jiang Yue took out a tea set, invited everyone to sit around the Eight Immortals table, and served tea to everyone one by one.
He took out a bag of tea from the tea bucket and said with a smile: "You may not believe it, but my grandfather roasted this tea himself when he was still alive."
Everyone was very surprised.
Even a novice knows that tea has a shelf life. Was it a long time ago when Jiang Yue's grandfather was alive?
Can this tea be preserved to this day?
Seeing everyone's reaction, Sangou felt a little depressed: "You are so blessed that you don't know how lucky you are. My father went out to work and wanted to sneak a pack of this tea, but my father discovered it and got a good beating."
Is that an exaggeration?
His own son is not allowed to drink it? Several people secretly laughed in their hearts, Sangou’s father, Jiang Yue’s uncle, isn’t it a bit unreliable? Otherwise, why is he so unpopular? You are not allowed to bring a bag of tea?
Jiang Yuedan smiled: "This is true. Most people really can't drink this tea. Those who can drink it are destined people. I remember my dad said that someone offered me a million dollars to ask for it.
Three bags of tea, but I didn’t even drink a sip.”
Millions of dollars?
Judging from the time period when Grandpa Jiang Yue was alive, it should have been a long time ago, right? One million in that era was no joke.
Tong Feifei chuckled and said: "This must be fairy tea, I have to taste it."
As soon as the tea brewed, the room was immediately filled with the aroma of tea, with a lingering aftertaste.
"It smells so good." Everyone praised it one after another.
After drinking a few cups of tea, everyone felt a lot more relaxed. It was as if the tea had magical power and could wash away impurities and dirt in the body, making people feel refreshed.
For a time, everyone was full of praise.
"Brother Yue, it's thanks to you that this tea is definitely extraordinary, maybe it's really a fairy tea!"
"Hey, Brother Yue's grandfather is an old immortal, so the tea he makes must be immortal tea."
Han Jingjing chuckled and said, "Jiang Yue, I don't have a million, but I want to beg you for half a bag of tea. Is that okay?"
Jiang Yue smiled: "Are you also hungry for this bite?"
Han Jingjing said with a smile: "I don't know about tea, but my dad is good at it. Although he seems to be a big official, he has never drunk any good tea in his life. A friend gave him a box of Longjing, and he put it in the wrong place.
I’m not even willing to finish the drink yet.”
The dignified star city is in charge, but the freedom to drink tea has not been solved?
Several people were greatly surprised. The governor of Star City was a high official in their eyes. How could he live such a miserable life?
Jiang Yue was not stingy, he found another pack and handed it to Han Jingjing: "The packaging is a bit shabby, your dad won't mind it, right?"
Han Jingjing smiled brightly: "If my dad knew that your grandpa made the tea himself, he would be very happy. Dislike it? Huh, if he dislikes it, I won't let him drink it!"
Jiang Yue smiled: "That's good."
As for the tea, Old Yunhe makes it himself, and the packaging is not particular.
However, Old Man Yunhe didn't know what secret method was used, nor did he know the magical properties of this tea. After so many years, the tea has not deteriorated at all, and even the aroma has not disappeared.
Han Jingjing happily put the tea bag away, and suddenly her eyes caught a glimpse of the family portrait on the side of the eucalyptus, and she became curious for a moment.
Went over and took a look.
In this family photo of a family of four, Jiang Yue was only seven or eight years old at the time, holding an apple in his hand and looking cute.
Jiang Yue's father is different from ordinary scholar-type officials. His elegant face has a bit of heroism and a bit of elegance, giving people a very refined feeling.
And Jiang Yue's mother has delicate features, handsome appearance, and the temperament of an intellectual, which makes her look very outstanding.
Even the big stars of that era would probably feel ashamed of themselves with this temperament.
Han Jingjing couldn't help but admire: "Jiang Yue, your mother was so beautiful when she was young."
Senior Sister Axia also echoed: "Uncle is also very handsome. Junior Jiang Yue has really inherited the good genes of his parents perfectly."
Jiang Yue tried his best to smile and looked at the family portrait, feeling a little excited for a moment.
When he returned to Panshiling to worship his ancestors during the Qingming Festival, the photo frame fell down inexplicably in the main room, which always made Jiang Yue feel very strange. He still hasn't figured out the reason.
Since then, Jiang Yue has had the same dream for a long time.
But since the beginning of the first change, that dream has slowly stopped appearing.
This made Jiang Yue feel a little flustered.
Jiang Yue felt that the woman in the dream must be his mother. Although he had no definite evidence, his intuitive judgment should not be wrong.
There must be a reason for that dream, it must be conveying something.
But Jiang Yue has always been puzzled and found no useful clues from that dream.
During this period of time, Jiang Yue was busy dealing with the situation in Star City every day, and Jiang Yue didn't even have the time to think about that weird dream.
Now that I have returned to Panshiling, the familiar memories once again come to my mind.
Mother, does she really want to express something?
Does that scene in the dream mean that the mother is trapped somewhere? Is she suffering?
Jiang Yue inexplicably thought of the Geocentric Clan and Tong Jiangnan's words.
To find a way to deal with the strange tree, maybe go to the Earth Center Clan's lair to find a way to crack it.
If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs?
Jiang Yue agreed with this.
Just imagine, is my mother’s disappearance really related to the Earth Center Clan?
And was the project of their archaeological team before their mother disappeared related to the Geocentric Clan, and did they accidentally come into contact with the secrets of the Geocentric Clan?
It can be said that Jiang Yue's family's fortunes began to take a turn for the worse almost immediately because of his mother's disappearance.
After his mother disappeared, his father's enthusiasm for life was obviously affected.
The grandfather also passed away inexplicably later, leaving even his sister-in-law Jiang Du, who was not yet married at the time.
The prominence of the Lao Jiang family in Panshiling seems to have begun to fall apart since then.
Looking back on all this now, the turning point was after Jiang Yue's mother disappeared.
Jiang Yue looked at this family photo quietly, hoping in his heart that this photo could give him some new hints and provide him with some new clues.
It's a pity that the photo seems to have lost the inspiration of the last time. It is motionless and does not seem to give any hint.
Jiang Yue was dejected. With so many people in the room, it was hard for him to show too much disappointment.
At this time, the aroma of my sister-in-law's stewed goose kept coming from the kitchen at the back. The aroma of stewed goose in a rural wood-fired stove is definitely extraordinary.
After living in Star City for such a long time, eating a regular meal is a luxury for most people.
The aroma of the stewed goose not only aroused everyone's appetite, but also evoked everyone's memories and love for the sunny era.
What was originally a common thing turned out to be such a luxury in strange times.
Because of the guests, my sister-in-law had a lot of luxury today, stewed goose, steamed bacon, braised rabbit, spicy fish, fried river shrimp...
This table may not be comparable to the luxurious restaurants in Sunshine Times. The dishes also have a local flavor, but they are generous and delicious, and very tempting.
It can be said that a few people swept the whole process, and the food was so delicious. Even a girl like Han Jingjing, who needs to be controlled and reserved, also took off her burdens and participated in the sweep, regardless of whether she looked good or not, and got along with everyone.
, eating with great pleasure.
This is a meal that is destined to be full.
Several girls felt a little embarrassed when they saw the messy cups and plates all over the table.
"Sister-in-law, this meal for us people can eat up all your food for half a month, right?"
My sister-in-law said with a smile: "You guys can eat as much as you want. I can bear it for ten days and a half. We have all the game that swims in the water, flies in the sky, and grows in the ground. Even the game in the mountains is in short supply."
, it’s really a lot less.”
The tide of beasts had an impact on the ecology around Panshiling. The beasts on the mountain were almost extinct at that time. After a few months of recuperation, beasts from other places would definitely break in.
Of course, this will take many reproduction cycles to gradually recover.
Several girls were rushing to wash dishes and clean.
After such a big meal, we can’t let my sister-in-law be busy cleaning up the mess, right?
Jiang Yue didn't grab it, but invited everyone to sit in the room. He planned to go to the ancestral hall.
Ancestral halls generally do not allow outsiders to break into the ancestral hall.
No matter how good the relationship between these friends was, Jiang Yue would not bring them to the ancestral hall unless there were special circumstances.
Of course, Tong Feifei and Mao Doudou, who have experience in rural life, understand this meaning.
Although Han Jingjing didn't quite understand it, she guessed that it was something taboo, so it was natural that she wouldn't ignore it, which was almost like a gummy candy.
As the male son of Lao Jiang's family, San Gou naturally had to go with him.
"Second brother, what do you think of Sister Jingjing? When did you get married? Hehe, if you really want to marry her, she is from our Lao Jiang family, so there is no need to avoid the ancestral hall, right?" Sangou's brain circuit
