As autumn turns to winter, the mood of autumn becomes stronger and the mountains become colder.
The autumn rain has fallen very frequently recently, as if it has compensated for the lack of rain in the past few years, which has made many people secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and the dry and cracked earth has regained some vitality.
Shanshi, Old Friends Teahouse.
The second floor was bustling with people as usual.
Recently, due to the increase in incidents of ferocious beasts mutating and injuring people in the mountains, there are obviously fewer wandering rangers going out hunting. Some of them go out in groups, so they can have someone to look after them.
However, most of them chose to stay in Xiaolong Mountain and take the opportunity to rest, preparing to wait for the three families to find out the cause before continuing the hunt.
After all, no one is a fool and does not take his own life as his own.
Catching up with this bonus, Xiaolongshan restaurants, teahouses, goulan and other places were full every day, and every seat was packed every night. They made a lot of money and achieved year-end results ahead of schedule.
Lin Mo and Chen Gang were also sitting on the second floor drinking tea.
He is not very good at drinking tea. This was the case in his previous life, and it is still the case now.
Maybe I'm not old enough yet, and I always feel like I'm wasting my time just sitting around, not talking about it, and not having enough boiled water to quench my thirst.
However, smelling the aroma of tea, the noisy voices of people, and looking at the empty mountains in the distance after the fresh rain, there is indeed a somewhat inexplicable feeling.
Chen Gang, who was sitting across from him, was sipping tea and looking at Lin Mo with great interest, exclaiming from time to time.
"Master Chen, you have been like a dragon for more than ten days. Now you suddenly appear, what are your orders?"
Lin Mo couldn't stand it anymore. He drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp like a cow chewing peonies, picked up the teapot and refilled it for the two of them, and asked directly.
"Hey, don't think that I'm relaxed during this period.
I've been so busy lately that I can't even put my feet on the ground. I'm like a spinning top. I can only go to brothels and flower shops at night."
When Chen Gang said this, he looked unwilling.
"..." Lin Mo was speechless.
"As for what I want to do with you, I heard that you have been getting close to Xu Ershao recently?"
Chen Gang's smile disappeared and he looked at Lin Mo with a complex expression.
Lin Mo was one of his promising young talents in the past few years. He was very talented, he was poor but ambitious, and he was always kind to others, which made him very happy.
When he heard that Lin Mo was being bullied by Second Young Master Xu, he became passionate and wanted to speak up for justice and prepare to help.
After finally calming down, although he did not come forward directly due to pressure, he secretly sought help from many people.
But before he could help, the two of them just reconciled and acted like good brothers, which made him a little bit sentimental.
Lin Mo was stunned, not knowing how to describe his relationship with Xu Chengyuan, so in the end he could only say nothing.
"Xiao Mo, don't blame me for talking too much.
I am a few years older than you. I have traveled much more roads and eaten more salt than you.
You usually only know how to practice martial arts, but you don’t know much about some twists and turns."
Chen Gang sighed, as if he was afraid that Lin Mo wouldn't understand, so he lowered his voice and said:
"In a big family like the Xu family, the water between the direct descendants is too deep. Even the collateral clan members dare not interfere at will, let alone us warriors with foreign surnames? In private, you can call me Uncle Chen, and you can call me Uncle Chen.
I advise you, you are still young and cannot grasp the twists and turns, so don’t get into trouble just for petty gains!"
"Now Xu Ruolong, the eldest son of the Xu family, has amazing talents. He is about to achieve success in his early years. He is also deeply loved by the elders of the Xu family. He is also kind-hearted and courageous and resourceful. He can be regarded as the unofficial next head of the family.
Xu Chengyuan, the second young master of the Xu family, eats, drinks and plays with dogs all day long. He looks like a playboy and doesn't seem to have much thought.
The two brothers also appear to have a good relationship outside, and they treat each other like brothers and sisters, but it's hard to tell what the eldest young master's thoughts are."
Chen Gang said with emotion.
Human nature cannot stand the test, and the human heart cannot be understood. Instead of studying it painstakingly and expending all your thoughts on it, it is better to go to the Willow Street and Flower Lane and taste how sweet a beautiful woman's mouth is.
Lin Mo nodded without explaining or refuting.
He naturally knew that Chen Gang was doing it for his own good. He and Xu Chengyuan had indeed been walking around more frequently these days. Even if they were covered up, they would inevitably fall into the eyes of interested people.
"I understand." Lin Mo replied.
He made up his mind that he should keep a clear distance from Xu Chengyuan, which would be good for both of them.
Chen Gang was very satisfied to see Lin Mo sleeping so well, and drank all the tea in the cup leisurely, "You will have less contact with that Xu Er Shao from now on. Of course, you don't have to worry about being bullied. The opportunity I told you has come, count you."
You're lucky, kid, come with me."
After saying that, he went to settle the bill and took Lin Mo up the mountain.
The two of them walked together on the road.
Go around a few turns, cross a few streets, and go around the back mountain.
After walking for about ten minutes, the two finally came to a dense bamboo forest.
"This is it." Chen Gang stood still and looked at the bamboo forest with envy.
In front of the bamboo forest, there is a stone tablet as tall as a person, which reads: Elder Forest.
There is not a trace of dust on it, and it can be seen that someone has wiped it every day.
"This is where the elder Xiaolongshan of the Xu family lives. Only the elders of the Xu family's pharmacy are qualified to live here, and the opportunity I told you about is here."
After saying that, Chen Gang took Lin Mo and walked in.
Walking into the bamboo forest, Lin Mo realized that this bamboo pole was not simple. Each bamboo was tall and handsome, straight in the middle and straight on the outside. The leaves were even different from those in the outside world, more delicate and beautiful.
When the wind blows, the bamboo forest rustles, and the air carries a freshness far beyond the outside world, which makes people take a deep breath.
"This is Qingxin Bamboo? What a great gesture." Lin Mo observed carefully and finally recognized its species, and couldn't help but sigh.
Qingxin Bamboo is one of the best treasures in the world. It exudes a pleasant natural fragrance, which is transparent, sweet and cool, and has a calming effect.
Rich people often plant a small pot in their courtyard. Even then, it is considered very respectable when entertaining guests. But this one is actually planted in a forest?
"You did a good job in the medicine class." Chen Gang was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile, "There are many benefits to the Destiny Realm. Come on, work harder now. When it's time to fight, don't be greedy like those boys.
It’s comfortable and I can live here in the future.”
Lin Mo nodded in agreement, he was convinced.
There are many people who choose to be comfortable when it's time to work hard. Some are lazy by nature, and some have insufficient qualifications, but most of them have no hope and just live one day at a time. But he is different. He has a clear goal and can see progress.
Naturally, I am willing to work hard for it and enjoy it.
The two of them continued walking and saw many courtyards along the way, some of which were inhabited, while others had no trace of life at all.
Finally they came to a bamboo house.
Chen Gang pushed open the bamboo door of the courtyard with ease and shouted at the top of his lungs:
