supreme golden pupil

Text Chapter 007 Banquet

The gate of the courtyard is on the south side of Yingjie Street. The courtyard surrounded by brick walls about two meters high is not very big, only about 100 square meters. Just stand at any position and look around, and everything in the courtyard is simple. Take a panoramic view and see everything at a glance.

To the north of the courtyard are three old houses built with blue bricks. They have a history of several decades. Yu Weiguo and Du Meihua have been living here since they got married. It has been simply repaired several times, but it is still difficult to conceal its ancient atmosphere from the roots.

The middle of the three old houses is the living room and dining room, the east one is the bedroom of Yu Weiguo and Du Meihua, and the west one is the utility room, which is used to store some things that are not usually used. Everyone has this habit, even if it is some very old and old things, they are reluctant to throw them away, and they will always find a place to store them, sometimes even for several years or ten years.In addition, because Yu Weiguo and Du Meihua still run the supply and marketing cooperative in the town, there are some out-of-season goods stored in the utility room, which can be regarded as a small warehouse.

To the east of the yard are three new houses built with red bricks. This is the residence of Ling Shaonan and others.To say that they are new houses is actually relatively speaking, they are even a little older than Ling Shaonan, and they were built after the Yu couple adopted a few children, because the house was not enough for the family to live in.

Among these three houses, the northernmost one is the residence of Ling Shaonan, Du Shaoyan and Hao Shaoming, but since Du Shaoyan went to study abroad a few years ago, and after Wei Shaoming joined the army, this place has become Ling Shaonan's world alone.The other two rooms are occupied by Xiao Shaoqiu and other five girls. Now, because the eldest sister Yu Shaoling has also graduated to work, they are also honored to be upgraded to a double room.

On the other side of the yard is a kitchen, which is also the oldest building in the whole yard. It is said that its predecessor was an illegal building built randomly by refugees during the war, just because Yu and his wife grew up in that period. I have a special feeling for it, so I gave it this opportunity to continue to exert its residual heat.

Of course, as far as Ling Shaonan knows, this old gentleman’s work is not very good. There is a lot of rain in southern Anhui, and basically the house will leak when it rains outside. No one has ever been strong enough to keep the rain out!

But the strange thing is that no matter how bad the leak is, the old man has been standing upright all these years, and he hasn't even been shaken a few times.After discussing with his second brother Wei Shaoming in private, Ling Shaonan once came to a conclusion: It is precisely because this old guy does not keep out the rain and does not have to bear the pressure brought by the rain that he has been able to persist for so many years. There are many people who die from overwork, but it is a truth that no one ever dies from idleness.

In addition to these buildings, in the southwest corner of the yard, next to the bedrooms of Ling Shaonan and the others, there are three or four sycamore trees that are several decades old. The stones used as stools are scattered here and there. This is where all the fun of the children's childhood lies.

…………

While walking, reminiscing about the scenes deep in his memory, Ling Shaonan quickly walked into his room.As soon as he entered the door, he found that although no one lived in it for several months, this simple bedroom was still clean and tidy (well, it is actually a bit inappropriate to say "still", because according to Ling Shaonan's memory, his room was never as clean and tidy as ever. Nothing to do with it.), there is even a faint fragrance floating in the air.Taking a deep breath, Ling Shaonan immediately recognized that this pleasant fragrance came from the little sister Xiao Shaoqiu, and it was the most natural body fragrance of a girl.

"This little girl, hehe..." Shaking his head and chuckling, Ling Shaonan's heart was filled with deep warmth.

After changing his clothes, Ling Shaonan tidied up in front of the mirror again, so that he didn't look so embarrassed before he walked out of the room and walked to the living room of the main room.

"Shaonan, you are back!"

"Shaonan, you are finally back!"

As soon as he entered the door, two pleasantly surprised voices rang in Ling Shaonan's ears. The familiar voice brought him back to the past years. His eyes couldn't help turning red, and he hurriedly greeted the two to hide himself. He lost his composure: "Second sister, third sister, I'm back! Hey, where's my little sister?"

While talking, Ling Shaonan's eyes turned around in the small living room, and he saw his grandparents sitting quietly on the stool and looking at him with smiles, their eyes filled with the ease and joy of unloading the burden, Zhou Shaoqi and Li Shaorong The elder sister has also rushed to Ling Shaonan with surprise on her face, her eyes are looking up and down on him, as if checking whether he is missing any parts, but the younger sister Xiao Shaoqiu who was the first to see him after returning home is not there. in the house.

"Oh, the little girl is in the kitchen. She said that the food is not enough, so she has to cook two more dishes." After looking up and down, left and right for a long time, the second sister Zhou Shaoqi, who finally confirmed that Ling Shaonan was normal, let out a soft breath and casually replied.

"That's it, then grandpa and grandma, sit down first, I'll go and have a look." Ling Shaonan said hurriedly, feeling uncomfortably stared at by the aggressive eyes of the two sisters, and then turned around and walked out the door without waiting for the other party's consent. go.

However, at this moment, a small figure had cautiously walked out of the kitchen with a large sea bowl. Judging by her nervous expression, one could tell that the bowl must be full.

Hehe smiled and walked forward, took over the large bowl filled with fresh fish soup from Xiao Shaoqiu's hand, after the family sat down at the dinner table one after another, Ling Shaonan's first formal dinner after his rebirth finally began.

"Shaonan, how have you spent the past three months? I heard from Liu Meng and Wang Kai that you were taken away by an old Taoist. Who is that old Taoist? Why did he take you away?" After eating, Grandpa Yu Weiguo couldn't help asking. Although he acted nonchalantly just now, he actually cared about Ling Shaonan very much.

This caused him to be glared at by Du Meihua next to him. Seeing Ling Shaonan's gobbled-up look, Grandma Du was very distressed. Although she wanted to know this very much, in her eyes, as long as the little grandson came back, it would be fine. , It is not too late to ask about other things slowly, the most important thing is to let the grandson eat enough.

"Ahem!" Looking at his grandfather's calm expression before, he did not expect him to be so anxious. When Ling Shaonan heard this question, he was choked and coughed again and again. It took a while to pat him on the back before he recovered.

"It's like this, old man Yunming..."

"Old Yunming? Isn't it an old Taoist priest who took you away?" Ling Shaonan's words had just started before being interrupted by Yu Weiguo who was puzzled.

"Oh, that's him, but old man Yunming really doesn't look like a monk. He doesn't care about meat and vegetables, and he doesn't look like a master of Taoism. He asked me to call him this name." Regarding the fictitious old man Taoist priest, Ling Shaonan has pondered for a long time, and the result he finally came up with is naturally impossible to be exposed so easily.

"Huh? Since it's your master..., uh, go ahead." Originally, Yu Weiguo wanted to teach Ling Shaonan how to respect his master, but he couldn't help it when he saw his wife's threatening eyes from the corner of his eyes. Swallowing it down, he quickly changed his tone.

"Well, the old man said that he has been living in seclusion in Huangshan for decades, but because Huangshan has been developed faster and faster over the years, which disturbed his tranquility, he planned to change places. Unexpectedly, when he was about to leave, he met I moved my mind and thought about taking an apprentice..."

Ling Shaonan's narration was full of emotion and emotion. It took a full hour to shape a cynical peerless master who was detached from the world of mortals into flesh and blood. How did the Taoist priests teach each other with all their money, painstakingly cultivated themselves, not only heard the eyes of the old couple Yu Weiguo and the three girls glisten, but even he was a little moved before he licked his lips. With dry lips, he made the final concluding statement.

"A few days ago, the old man felt that he had taught me almost all the things he should teach me, so he kicked me away, saying that he wanted me to practice hard in the world of mortals, and then he ran away without a trace. I I tried to find him but couldn’t find him, and because I had been away from home for almost three months and I missed my grandparents very much, so I ran back from the mountains! As for me, I grew so tall in a few months, it was all because the old man also I don’t know where I found a bunch of strange fruits, which were caused by forcing me to eat them, and the clothes and hair are also like this because I haven’t touched them for several months.”

Although Ling Shaonan has been talking nonsense during this hour, the last sentence is the most outrageous nonsense.Where has he eaten such a goddamn treasure?In fact, his height was raised by an incredibly powerful soul!At that time, no matter how much food he ate, it would be digested by his weak body in just half an hour. He used to repeat the process of hunting—eating—hunting again continuously for a full ten days !

"Huh..." Although he had considered these things seamlessly before, Ling Shaonan was still a little nervous at this time. After the speech, he took advantage of the time when the family members had not recovered from his narration. .This is not to say that Ling Shaonan's psychological quality is not good. In fact, after being led by a thunderbolt for countless years and seeing the world's fickleness, his sophistication is no less than that of an old fox who has lived for 80 or [-] years. Nervousness is nothing more than guilt over having to lie to those closest to you.

"It turns out to be like this! There are truly masters in this world!" Obviously, Ling Shaonan's painstaking preparations were not in vain, and even the old couple Yu Weiguo and Du Meihua, who had been in love for a long time, did not hear any flaws in his words , This can't help but relieve his heart that has been hanging.
