Going down the mountain, I saw two figures at the foot of the mountain waiting hard in the cold wind.
When Tang Wanwan saw that it was them, she immediately came over to him with some embarrassment. "Sir, Brother Black Bear, why are you at the bottom of the mountain?" "It's so cold here, how come you don't know how to make a sound."
"I saw you guys were doing something, so we just waited here. It didn't take long."
Master Feng glanced at Hei Xiao, and the two exchanged glances. He suddenly understood, and the expression on his face instantly relaxed a lot. Their trip today was fruitless, and they didn't see the bodies of those people nearby. How did they appear here?
There. Seeing Gu Yunzhi's expression now, he knew that he could cover this matter. As long as he had a way, it wouldn't be a big problem. After all, the Nanping County Prince gave them three days, excluding one day today.
There are still two days left. He already knows what to do next. We will discuss in detail what to do next. "Thank you for your hard work, you two. Come and warm yourself in the sedan. You must be starving."
The cemetery is on a mountain and is facing the wind. On winter nights, the cold wind is like a knife, drilling directly into the clothes. When going down the mountain, Tang Wanwan felt as if her clothes were not worn.
It was so cold. She suddenly missed the warmth of the down jacket. She couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, I wish I had a down jacket."
"What did you say?" Black Owl walked beside him, his tall figure slightly blocking the wind from her. But it didn't help. "I said if I had one, it would be very warm and not bothered by the cold wind.
The clothes are just fine. Now these clothes are just like wearing single clothes."
He immediately laughed, "Silly girl, there is no airtight clothes in this world, unless it is a leather jacket." Tang Wanwan thought to herself, that's because you don't know, well, in the world I lived in before, down jackets were a must-have in winter.
.The style is good-looking and beautiful, and the key is that it is cost-effective. A warm down jacket is enough for one winter.
I saw the two of them walking and talking at the same time, very affectionate and warm.
The black bear was very depressed and couldn't help but spit out the sour juice. Looking at the black owl, his voice was a little aggrieved. He whispered: "Master, have you fallen in love with this girl, so you don't like me anymore?"
Ah. You didn’t even call me for such a dangerous thing tonight.”
Think about where he went without her before. Now that he has this girl's place, his own place is gone.
Fortunately, Tang Wanwan was a bold and timid girl, so she probably fainted long ago.
"Take you there, you know a hammer!" Black Owl actually swore. Black Bear was stunned for a moment. Then he just looked at him and got directly into the sedan. Mr. Feng and him both came on horseback, and the coachman was always there.
Waiting at the foot of the mountain.
Black Bear murmured: "There is something really wrong with the young master today. Could it be that he has been too tired recently, so he talks and does things differently than before." I can't figure it out, hey, I really can't figure it out.
Mr. Feng was always dignified and didn't talk much on weekdays. When he saw them getting on the sedan, he immediately set off. Fortunately, the back mountain is not far from Tangjia Village, and it can be reached in just two cups of tea.
Tang Wanwan and Hei Xiao got on the sedan, and when they saw that there was a car on the low table, which was still warm, they were so moved that tears filled their eyes. Hei Xiao couldn't stop eating, and in just one cup of tea, he
All this food was swept into the stomach.
"Master Gu, your appetite is getting bigger day by day, right?"
"Must be too hungry." Hei Xiao said a little embarrassed, thinking that he would have to be more careful in the future. After all, Gu Yunzhi is a pretty boy and does things differently from a big boss like him. But no one would have thought that this was obvious.
People with the same face actually have two personalities. It should be said that they are two completely different people.
The two of them looked at each other and laughed while eating, feeling like they shared life and death and shared the same hatred and hatred. There was a little secret between them that no one else knew. This kind of freshness and excitement made people feel very novel.
Sitting in a warm sedan, eating familiar food, and watching the black owl opposite eating under the candlelight, Tang Wanwan suddenly felt in a trance, feeling as if she suddenly went from one world to another, and then turned around
It seems like it has come full circle.
Tonight, the black owl opened another door for her, allowing her to see a different world. She thought she would be scared, but unexpectedly, her mind kept thinking about what happened tonight. She subconsciously thought about the Beidou
I have memorized all the seven-star formations, and subconsciously, I will still make gentle gestures with my hands on my legs. I don’t know if he can really summon the undead using his formula and formations. If dad is not dead, he should
Just can't see him.
Seeing that she was in a trance, her eyes widened. At first, Black Owl thought he was being sentimental, thinking that Tang Wanwan was looking at him, and didn't want to find out that she was completely in a daze. "Girl, what are you thinking about, so enchanted?"
"Hei Xiao waved his hand in front of Tang Wanwan's eyes.
"Oh, I was thinking about something."
"By the way, Master Gu, can I ask you a few questions?"
The black owl nodded and looked at her: "Well, you say."
"I saw you summoning Mr. Tan's soul today. Can it be someone who has died? Anyone who has not entered reincarnation is okay. Can someone who has been dead for a long time be okay?"
Unexpectedly, he did not answer her question directly, but asked instead: "Do you want to see your father?"
"Yes! Is that okay?" Tang Wanwan looked at her with a bit of expectancy.
The black owl looked at her with a look that gave people the impression that there was no chance.
Tang Wanwan couldn't help but look a little disappointed, and laughed at herself: "I thought that this Big Dipper array could summon my father's undead. I didn't expect that my joy was in vain." "Then my father should have entered reincarnation.
Is it? He can no longer remember his family members?" Calculating the time, after a normal person dies, he will be reincarnated after the first seven days. After drinking Meng Po's Meng Po soup, he will forget his past and present lives and start a new life.
As the saying goes, come naked and go naked. All living beings are equal only in the face of birth, old age, illness, death and time. Otherwise, no matter how you look at it, they cannot be equal. We cannot choose our origins, our talents and abilities, although many of them are
For those who are nurtured, talent comes first. For a person without talent, even if you create the best conditions for him, he will not turn from a fool into a prodigy.
"Little girl, there are so many questions. The most inconclusive thing about things in this world is the unknown."
"Do you know what the unknown is?"
"Well understand, the unknown is the future and present that we cannot know or predict."
Black Owl looked at her with a warm expression on his face, "That's right. To put it simply, it is to repay good wishes for things we expect or hope to happen."
Tang Wanwan couldn't help but smile, with a sly look on her face, "According to you, I only need to have good wishes every day to live my life? What's the difference between you and painting cakes to satisfy my hunger?" Tang Wanwan seemed to
She had already seen through his mind. Because she felt that what Gu Yunzhi said was superficial, and he obviously didn't mean anything, and he didn't say anything practical and useful. Looking at him, it sounded quite high-sounding. He treated her as a child.
, drew a cake in front of her eyes and made her think it was real.
The black owl did not refute, but said something ambiguous. "It's up to you whether you believe it or not. Anyway, I have already told you."
Tang Wanwan stopped talking, too lazy to speak because she thought he was talking nonsense.
When she got home, Tang Wanwan hadn't even gotten off the carriage. As soon as she opened the curtain, she saw a dark figure waiting at the door from a distance. The dim light made her shadow very long.
Looking at the expectant and anxious face, anxious steps and slightly stooped back, the dim light stretched her shadow very long. The wind blew her hair up, and her clothes were caught.
The strong wind was blowing, so she stroked Niu Hai's head with her hands.
Seeing this scene, Tang Wanwan felt that her heart was filled with something. It was the first time I experienced the feeling of being waited for by someone. When I came back for the first time, there was a dim light shining like this at the door of my house.
.
Tang Wanwan shouted: "Mother!" and rushed towards her.
Madam Chen was almost staggered by the impact. She hugged her with one hand and held her waist with the other hand. She said: "You are such a cruel girl. You have been out in the wild all day. You don't know how strong my mother is."
worry about you."
Master Feng and the others also came, and he smiled and said: "Ah Wan, your mother really feels sorry for you and is worried about you. When we left, she even clamored to come with us to find you. I persuaded her to stop.
"
Mrs. Chen felt a little embarrassed when Lord Feng said this. She looked at everyone and said, "Why don't you go to the house to warm yourself up? I've cooked ginger soup on the stove, one bowl for each person. Drink it to warm yourself up."
Drive away the cold.”
"Why don't we take advantage of the heat and hurry up?" Mr. Feng suggested. Unexpectedly, the black owl on the sedan got down. "I'm tired today. It's hard to refuse the aunt's kindness. How about we stay here for one night.
"
"I wonder if it will bother my aunt."
"You can't live in my house. I don't have room to live in my house." Tang Wanwan quickly stopped her. She straightened her arms and blocked the door with her body.
This time Black Bear disagreed and said hurriedly: "Girl, my young master lives here with you, so he thinks highly of you. If you don't welcome him, we won't be happy."
But she was pulled over by Mrs. Chen. "Ah Wan, sir, they are also running around for Tan Ling and the others. It's late at night, look at the day, the west wind is blowing hard, it might be snowing. How are you doing?
I'm chasing them away." Moreover, today is the seventh day of Mr. Tan's life, so Tan Ling and Tan Song have to keep vigil all night and won't sleep.
Tang Wanwan and Mrs. Chen can share a bed, one person can sleep on Tang Xiaoyi's bed, and two grown men can sleep on the other bed. The bed made by Tang Wanwan is big, wide, and soft, and I really can't bear to give it to these few.
The grown-up man just pressed the new bed.
Tang Wanwan looked at the dark sky and said: "I watched the sky at night. It will definitely snow tomorrow, and it will still snow heavily. You should hurry up. Otherwise, there will be heavy snow tomorrow and the road will be blocked, and you will not be able to go back."
"I watched the sky at night. Tomorrow the sky will be clear and the blue waves will be like washing. Girl, you are so unkind. I am almost exhausted." After the black owl finished speaking, he walked straight to the main room and sat down on the stool.
Master Feng saw that he was staying, so of course he had to stay. However, before he went in, he still asked Tang Wanwan for her opinion: "Girl, what do you mean? If it's really inconvenient, forget it. Your sister-in-law is still waiting at home.
And me."
When he mentioned his sister-in-law Tang Wanwan, he immediately understood. Mr. Feng is indeed not stupid.
Because the county magistrate's wife introduced a lot of business to Tang Wanwan, she didn't owe a favor by going back and forth like this.
"My lord, please go back and say hello to Madam-in-law for me."
"Well, your sister-in-law likes the bracelet you gave her very much. She also said that she would bring some people to your carpentry shop someday. But when your shop opens, we will definitely come to support it."
"Then thank you in advance, sir. My little lady will definitely live up to everyone's expectations."
Master Feng's intention is obvious. He is waiting to build momentum for Tang Wanwan when she opens her new store. Although the county magistrate is the last of all officials, he cannot underestimate this last one.
From major national affairs to minor conflicts between neighbors, husband-wife relations, family harmony, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc., he needs to take care of these things. Therefore, there is a saying that goes well: If you are not afraid of officials, you are afraid of management.
After several people entered the house, Mrs. Chen hurriedly served ginger soup boiled with sugar to them. After taking a sip, half of her body was warmed up. After a burst of heat rolled through her throat, the pores all over her body suddenly relaxed.
Comfortable!
"My aunt's cooking skills are really good. Even this ginger soup tastes very good."
When Mrs. Chen heard Gu Yunzhi praising her, she suddenly seemed a little happy and said with a smile: "Young master, you are so sweet-tongued today. Usually when I see you coming to my house, you don't talk much, but today you are the most easy-going."
"Cough, cough, cough!" Unexpectedly, Hei Xiao was choked as soon as Mrs. Chen finished speaking. He thought to himself that this aunt has a very sharp eye. She didn't leave any trace on her, but she actually revealed the difference between the two in one sentence.
Gu Yunzhi is taciturn and has a lot of words. He prefers to talk and has a relatively easy-going temperament, so he is very popular.
But if one is too popular, it is easy to incur romantic debts, right and wrong debts. In short, there are many debts that one cannot think of, and they inexplicably end up on him.
After they drank the ginger soup, Mrs. Chen was afraid that they were not full, so she brought them another bowl of midnight snack. It was a sweet soup made with yam, with some lotus seeds and red dates in it.
Tang Wanwan felt heartbroken when she saw her mother being so prodigal. She quickly pulled Madam Chen aside. "Mom, why did you cook all these?"
These lotus seeds, longans, and red dates were more expensive than medicinal materials. She wanted to buy them for her family.
Now it's better. For these three big men, two bowls are not enough for each of them. One of them has to swallow three bowls in one go.
No, Tang Wanwan was being conservative. She drank five bowls in one breath, and after finishing them, she still felt a little unfinished.
Tang Wanwan was very worried about whether someone would occupy the latrine at night.
However, her worries were unnecessary. She didn't hear the sound of opening the door to use the toilet in the next room all night.
