Volume 2 Meritorious Cao Chapter 081 Brother Jiang Wants a Treat
After experiencing the success of Cheng Jinchang and Cui Yao in reviving corpses, Xu Zhengyang became more and more certain that in this world, no, it should be within the legendary Three Realms, there is no existence of gods, let alone the existence of heaven.
Otherwise, since the laws of heaven cannot be violated and I have violated the laws of nature, why is there no so-called punishment?
As for the high fever, after Xu Zhengyang recovered, he no longer regarded it as a punishment from heaven. It was not that he had never experienced such things. After first receiving divine power and becoming half an earth god, he
I had a high fever for two days. Although it was not as serious as this high fever, it was still so sudden and strange. Moreover, after the high fever, my priesthood was not reduced.
It is true that when Cui Yao and Cheng Jinchang were given the authority to resurrect corpses, and to use the magical powers given to them to repair internal diseases in the corpses, they exhausted their magical power, exhausted themselves, and even gave ghosts within a few days.
The divine power within the authority is gone. However, the divine power is still being slowly replenished by the power of faith.
Especially when Di Wenjing and his family built that pitiful little temple, Xu Zhengyang could clearly feel the futile increase in divine power. Almost at the same time that the family was worshiping the ground, the almost exhausted divine power was in vain.
Restored to half of its initial state.
As for how to measure the amount of divine power in his mind, Xu Zhengyang did not have a clear position, he only made the measurement based on his feelings.
But Xu Zhengyang can be sure of this feeling. No reason is needed.
This shows that the cause of this high fever is not the violation of the laws of heaven, which resulted in punishment from heaven, but the fact that the divine power was exhausted in vain, and the replenishment speed of faith power could not keep up, so the body could not bear it for a while.
So,,
Xu Zhengyang thought: When his divine power reaches a certain level, he is likely to become a judge or even a city dragon, or even higher! If it is higher, what kind of position will it be? He may also enter the underworld, because in some places there are related
In the recorded books, it seems that land, merit, judges, and city dragons all have the closest connection with the underworld, but have no direct relationship with heaven.
Will he become the Tenth Palace of Yama? The Ghost Emperor? Or "
The sunlight passed through the branches and leaves of the grape vines that had begun to turn slightly yellow, casting irregular light spots on the red brick floor, on the stone table and bench, and on Xu Zhengyang, who was leaning on the bamboo chair. There was a cool breeze.
, the hot weather has long passed, and autumn has not yet arrived. This is the time when people feel the coolest and most comfortable.
The ringtone of the mobile phone interrupted Xu Zhengyang's thoughts. He frowned, picked up the mobile phone placed on the stone table, looked at the caller ID, and saw an unfamiliar number, pressed the connect button, and put the mobile phone to his ear: "
Hello."
"Sir, I, I am Cheng Jinchang."
"Wrong." Xu Zhengyang said calmly.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm Zhan, Zhan Xiaohui."
"Um."
"I feel much better now, but I still can't get out of bed."
"Um."
"I want to see my wife, parents and children."
"After you recover, there will always be a chance." Xu Zhengyang sighed softly, it is human nature and understandable.
"grown ups,"
"Call me Xu Zhengyang from now on, remember, don't say anything you shouldn't say;"
"Yes, yes, I think, I want to see you."
Xu Zhengyang hesitated for a while and said calmly: "Well, rest in peace and recuperate, I will see you."
"Okay, okay."
Xu Zhengyang hung up the phone and sighed softly. The last time Zhan Xiaohui called, he promised to go see him in two days, but after careful consideration, he decided not to go for the time being.
The reason is that in addition to the fact that he is really busy with building a house on his family's new homestead these days, he also has to endure Jinchang's heart, so he has to slowly get familiar with that body, and become familiar with the fact that he has been reborn, and gradually
After diluting the initial excitement, I met him again.
As for Jiang Shiqing, Xu Zhengyang did not let ghosts harass him anymore.
Just like what he said when he told Zhao Daqing about his experience in interrogating prisoners, beating a person's ear without stopping would not only make him tired, but also make the other person so numb that he would not know the pain.
"It's better to do it slowly and slowly. As the saying goes, it hurts when a dull knife cuts flesh."
Moreover, Zhan Xiaohui now still needs the care of Jiang Shiqing and Zhan Xiaoyun.
After Zhan Xiaohui recovers, he will slowly punish Jiang Shiqing and Zhan Xiaoyun.
But there is one thing that really makes Xu Zhengyang a little nervous. "Because Zhan Xiaohui and Deng Wenjing are bound to get married and become a couple. The husband and wife in the previous life will be reborn as human beings in this life. The children in the previous life will have their parents alive. They will not become a couple."
Absolutely impossible.
The problem is that Deng Wenjing and Jiang Shiqing once had some kind of relationship.
Well, as a bystander, I can't stand this kind of relationship that really gives everyone a headache. I can't stand it! How can we meet in the future? Xu Zhengyang shook his head and thought in a dumbfounded way: Forget it, forget it, what are you thinking about?
What, Zhan Xiaohui and Deng Wenjing will definitely not care about this anyway, and neither Jiang Shiqing nor Zhan Xiaoyun will get any good results.
When he was thinking about when to visit Na Wenjing and take her with him to visit Zhan Xiaohui, Chen Chaojiang rode his bicycle into the yard. He got off the bike and propped up the bicycle while saying: "Zhengyang, I just thought you were at home."
.”
"Well, what? Didn't you go to work?" Xu Zhengyang asked with a smile, taking out a cigarette and throwing one to Chen Chaojiang;
Chen Chaojiang easily reached out to catch the cigarette flying in the air, walked to the stone table and sat down, picked up the lighter on the table, lit the cigarette, took two deep breaths and said: "I asked for leave today." Zhengyang, you are here every day.
It’s so leisurely, no wonder even Zhijun said you’ve become lazy and turned away from the shopkeeper, and I haven’t seen you go to the store in Zehe City.”
"It's not too busy over there recently, and my family is building a house again," Xu said.
"Don't talk nonsense, have you been to your new homestead during the day?" Chen Chaojiang curled his lips and said, "What happened again? Do you want to go to school again?"
"You have nothing to do but look around and learn nothing."
"Both uncle and aunt are going to the homestead? You are not going either."
"Well, I was just thinking about going over there and taking a look."
The two were chatting nonsense. What made Xu Zhengyang a little confused was that Chen Chaojiang seemed to talk a little more than before, but there was no big change. Probably due to nature, Chen Chaojiang's slender eyes always remained cold.
Demeanor..
Both father and mother went to the new homestead. Although all the work, including scattered dusting, site inspection and other work, was fully contracted to Zhang Zhong's construction team, in fact, the owner did not need to worry about it at all.
But Xu Neng and Yuan Suqin couldn't sit still at home. For a typical rural person, how many major events in a lifetime are building a new house? Building a new house for their retirement, marrying a wife for their son and starting a family. So they have to go to work every day.
The people in the construction team work as if they would be lazy and slippery or cut corners and not build a house properly if they were not in this group.
In fact, there is no need at all, because the project cost is directly negotiated in one go, not the daily wage. So there is no need to worry about the other party delaying the work. Besides, they are both from the same village. Zhang Zhong, the foreman of the construction team, has a good relationship with Xu Neng’s family.
And most of the workers in the construction team are from the same village. Who would steal your work and reduce your materials?
Dan said, there are Cao Gangchuan, Zhang Hao, and Liu Bin, three of Xu Zhengyang's best buddies working as laborers there, so they are the best supervisors.
This is also the reason why Xu Zhengyang is unwilling to go to Gongyou. To be honest, he is a little embarrassed. Because he is the victim. And the person who is sweating and working there is his best friend." In front of them, he said
Just watching them work leisurely makes you feel comfortable, but you also have to consider their psychology.
Xu Zhengyang never thought about increasing the salary of these buddies. It was too nonsense, too artificial and too unrealistic.
Occasionally, I would bring wine and food to the new house construction site at night, and gather with a few buddies to drink and chat in the small work shed set up on the new house construction site. Zhang Hao and Liu Bin were designated by the construction team to watch the construction site at night, and
It makes sense for buddies to have a drink together. Drink a few more drinks and get more good wine, food, and cigarettes. And even if they understand Xu Zhengyang's thoughts, they will not feel embarrassed or conflicted.
During the day, Xu Zhengyang would sit at home, drinking tea and reading.
Nowadays, he has become more and more fond of reading books, and most of them are books that record stories about ghosts, gods, and immortals, as well as some historical books. The purpose is to study the details about gods and heaven.
If you are in your position, you have to seek your own government, right?
As for the antique shop in Zehe City, there was nothing important and he was too lazy to go there. He was not like an old guy like Yao Chushun who was obsessed with antiques to a perverted level. He watched a bunch of antique fans every day and never got tired of it, and
Still enjoying it.
After the last sky-high-priced jade incident, Guxiangxuan's reputation suddenly became louder. Tang Jing, a jade-hand in the capital, actually came here to see the so-called sky-high-priced jade with his own eyes. He was so surprised that he couldn't put it down. He even offered a bid of eight hundred.
Wan wanted to buy a piece of jade, but Xu Zhengyang politely refused.
Not to mention, after Zheng Ronghua spread the news that Gu Xiangxuan was actually a store he invested in, Gu Xiangxuan's reputation became even bigger.
Zou Mingyuan calmed down, at least for the time being, he didn't dare to make any more small moves.
Those who had had evil thoughts in the past have completely given up their evil thoughts, because since Guxiangxuan is a store invested by Zheng Ronghua, the boss of Ronghua Group, the remaining six pieces of sky-high price gems must be placed in a tight place, and anyone wants to steal or rob them.
If you want to take away six pieces of precious jade, you might as well just boldly kidnap Zheng Ronghua.
Moreover, because of the two gold-lettered signs of Guxiangxuan, the sky-high price of Baoyu and Zheng Ronghua, it becomes more and more trustworthy and makes people feel reliable.
Who do you want to sell antiques to? Sell them to Guxiangxuan! If you have money, you can afford the price!
Where to buy antiques? Guxiangxuan! They are all good things! How good? Have you heard about the jade that was stolen from Tianbaozhai? You bought it from Guxiangxuan, and the jade is only worth three hundred and five hundred
One hundred thousand, Guxiangxuan now has six pieces left, each piece is worth more than eight million, what is the price offered by Jade Hand Tang Jing in the capital?
Don’t think it’s expensive, they don’t even sell it at Guxiangxuan! So, if you want to buy good things, you have to go to Guxiangxuan. There are several pieces of jade worth nearly ten million, but you still lack what you want to buy? Don’t be afraid.
If you can't buy it, you're afraid you don't have enough money.
Come on!
Xu Zhengyang no longer had to be busy digging for treasures to fill the facade of Guxiangxuan. More sellers came to him on their own initiative, and there were two hidden lines that used to belong to Tianbaozhai, and they also began to have private contact with Yao Chushun.
Guxiangxuan's business is booming, and Tianbaozhai is about to be overthrown.
With this income, Xu Zhengyang is too lazy to dig for treasures and sell them for money. Anyway, he is not short of money now. If there is anything special that needs to spend a lot of money, he can dig up a few treasures at any time and sell them directly to Guxiangxuan
, if you really don’t have enough liquidity, it’s absolutely no problem to borrow three to five million from Zheng Ronghua.
So basically nothing happens now, and anything that happens is a good thing.
I spend my free time reading books and drinking tea, and occasionally drinking and chatting with friends.”
The so-called fairyland in heaven and the happy and carefree life of gods that humans yearn for is nothing more than this at best? At the very least, if it was Xu Zhengyang before, the most he could hope for was this;
After chatting for a while, Xu Zhengyang asked: "You took leave today and are not going to work. What are you busy with?"
"It's nothing. I feel tired of being with those people at the police station." Chen Chaojiang smiled and said, "The Nantou Grain Station in Haitou Town opened a new dog meat shabu-shabu restaurant, want to try it?"
Xu Zhengyang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Let's go."
He thought in his mind that Chen Chaojiang wanted to treat him to a meal. He said that there was nothing that the brothers would not be grateful for, but after all, after Chen Chaojiang came out of prison, with his personal character and reputation, he
No one was willing to even work as a laborer in the construction team, so Xu Zhengyang arranged for him such a job that many people envied. How could he not be grateful? Even if he thought that it was nothing for brothers to help each other.
It's a big deal. I'm afraid his parents will have to nag him every day to show off.
Xu Zhengyang would not refuse this, let alone rush to pay the bill with Chen Chaojiang. There was no need, and it would be bad if it was too artificial.
Sometimes people can't be too pretentious and have to take care of other people's emotions.
Chen Chaojiang said: "Give me the car keys and I'll drive it. I haven't driven this thing yet."
"Sure?" Xu Zhengyang threw the motorcycle key to Chen Chaojiang without saying a word;
Chen Chaojiang took the car keys, got on the motorcycle and turned on the engine. He slowed down a little, then put the car into gear and slowly drove out of the courtyard.
Xu Zhengyang followed behind and locked the courtyard door. Then he stepped on the back seat of the motorcycle, patted Chen Chaojiang on the shoulder and said: "Don't drive too fast, slow down."
"Similarly the same." Chen Chaojiang said these four words in a confused manner;.
Of course Xu Zhengyang understood what he meant. It was just that although he had never driven such a sports car, it was not really a technical job. Just squeeze the clutch, shift the gear, twist the accelerator, and remember to brake at the critical moment...
The motorcycle roared away from the alley and drove slowly on the village street. After leaving the village, Chen Chaojiang no longer had the little wing before and accelerated.
The southernmost grain station in Zetou Town is actually the grain station in Nancheng and Rural Areas. It is at the southwest corner of the intersection of Shiguo Road and Xinchengfeng Road, at the junction of Zetou Town and Nancheng Rural Areas. The grain station no longer purchases and stores grain, and is obsolete.
The warehouses and houses have already been rented out.
The newly opened dog meat shabu shabu restaurant is located in the rented building of the grain station. The doors and windows are opened on the back wall and a signboard of "Crescent Dog Meat Shabu Shabu" is hung. It is probably because of the new opening discount. It is not yet noon.
, several motorcycles, a used Nissan sedan and a police van were parked in front of the store.
There is a piece of red paper stuck on the door of the hotel. On it is written in calligraphy, "Opening discount, all dishes are half price for a week" and other words.
Chen Chaojiang drove Xu Zhengyang on his Yamaha and stopped at the parking lot in front of the "Crescent Dog Meat Soup Pot" store.
The consumption of this kind of restaurant is definitely not high, and it is acceptable to most people in rural areas.
If Chen Chaojiang invited Xu Zhengyang to have dinner at "Tianwaitian", Xu Zhengyang might decline politely. It's not that Chen Chaojiang couldn't spend the money, but that he wouldn't let Chen Chaojiang make a fool of himself and waste money. Of course, Chen Chaojiang is not that kind of person.
There are no so-called private rooms in the hotel. On the right side of the door is the cashier. Further inside, the newly built wall and corridor lead to the kitchen. A small window is opened in the middle, and the waiter orders the dishes and food from the window.
Serving dishes; four brand new round tables were placed in the entire hall, and a total of six small square tables were placed against the walls on both sides.
At this time, there were already four groups of customers sitting in the restaurant, but only one group consisted of six people, eating and drinking around a round table in the middle. The other three groups, or three or four people, sat at the square table.
Xu Zhengyang and Chen Chaojiang sat face to face at a square table closest to the door. A waitress who looked about ten years old came over with a smile and handed over the menu: "Welcome, our store is newly opened, all discounts are half price
Chen Chaojiang handed the menu to Xu Zhengyang and said with a smile: "Please order some."
"Just for the two of us, a small pot is enough. Well, it's quite affordable. Four dishes are included." Xu Zhengyang looked at the menu and said to the waiter with a smile: "Just a small pot and a bottle of live river."
Daqu.”
"Okay, please wait a moment. I'll make you two a pot of tea first." The waiter smiled and left with the menu.
A small shabu-shabu is 20 yuan, which is 10 yuan at half price, and a bottle of Zehe Daqu is 15 yuan. The total consumption is 25 yuan, which is indeed very affordable.
Tea was brought over, and Xu Zhengyang and Chen Chaojiang drank water and chatted while waiting for the food to be served.
Xu Zhengyang had his back to the door and faced the inside of the restaurant. He noticed that among the six people sitting at the round table inside, three of them facing outside were wearing police uniforms. One of them had no number on his uniform and was a member of the joint defense and security team.
Of course, the other two are serious police officers. Although the other three can only be seen from the back, one of them, Xu Zhengyang, can be seen from the back that he is Lu Dongan and Guo Tian's group, that is, he was once raped by Chen Chaojiang.
A guy who slaps his ears and tongue to remind the other person that actually he has a dragon tattoo on his body can’t be awesome.
Perhaps because the food was not enough, Lu Dongan turned around and shouted: "Waiter, please give me another piece of wide noodles and two pieces of fried wheat!"
The conversation suddenly stopped, and Lu Dongan was startled for a moment when he saw Xu Zhengyang.
At this moment, Chen Chaojiang was holding a glass of water, slightly lowering his head and looking sideways at the source of the arrogant voice.
Then Lu Dongan's face immediately showed a look of horror. He saw that pale and thin face, two thin eyebrows raised like swords, and a pair of slender eyes that always had a cold look...
