Celestial Masters Alliance

Early the next morning, we reported our whereabouts to our eldest grandma, went to our second aunt’s house to offer incense to her, and then took a ride to buy equipment.

The process of buying equipment was a bit bumpy, and we finally found a large mountaineering supplies store in the city.

Everything is available here. I have recently read some tomb-robbing novels, and I am always full of yearning when I read the equipment described in them. Now that these things are in front of you, how could you not buy a few and go back to play with them?

I couldn't put it down almost everything mentioned in the novel, and I picked up a lot of them without realizing it. Zhao Shuang saw that I was messed up. As I picked it up, he put it back. When I picked it up again, I could feel his sharp eyes that exceeded 250 volts.

In the end, under Zhao Shuang's supervision, I only bought two pairs of gloves, ropes, a few safety buckles, and two wolf-eye flashlights. Finally, at my request, I bought a backpack, a windproof stove, a folding shovel, a magnesium bar, and emergency gadgets. . When I paid the bill, I was dumbfounded. The total was more than 6,000. Seeing Zhao Shuang snickering on the side, I immediately took out my card and shouted like a man: "Swipe!"

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon after we finished shopping. Each of us carried a big bag and took a taxi to the station. Grandma's funeral will be held tomorrow and I have to rush back. Luckily, the last bus was at 6pm. We bought the tickets and the train was leaving in two hours. I took Zhao Shuang for a stroll, and he suddenly asked me: "When will you go back?"

I didn't react at first, but it took me a long time to understand that he was asking me when I would be home. I scratched my head and said back to him: "In two days! What about you?"

Zhao Shuang passed me and walked towards the ticket office, and I quickly followed. He booked a flight for four days later, and I also booked a flight for the same day as him. It was nice to have someone to accompany me while waiting for the plane. Besides, I don’t know what the person who was following me had his intentions. I would love to have a police officer to protect me.

After booking the tickets, I dragged Zhao Shuang into the drugstore. Seeing his puzzled face, I started to show off my meager outdoor knowledge: "You might encounter mosquito bites when you go down to the tree hole. What if the mosquitoes are poisonous? Or reserve some money?" Some emergency medicine would be more appropriate." In fact, he was so idle that he had nowhere to kill his time.

He didn't say anything, just followed me silently.

I took hydrogen peroxide, iodine, antibiotics, cotton wool, gauze, tape, and rubber gloves. I thought that even if I couldn’t use these things, if I put them in my grandma’s place, she would still be able to use them. Before paying the bill, I grabbed two more boxes of condoms. The cashier was a little girl. She glanced at me and Zhao Shuang with ambiguous eyes, and whispered with a red face: "This is not enough. There are other necessities over there."

I especially hate people who sell things. I didn’t even look at them. I said angrily: “That’s enough! It’s not necessarily useful yet!”

Zhao Shuang was obedient. He walked to the sales place and took a look. When he came back, he stared at the things I bought with an expression like he had just finished eating, and then hurried out the door.

When I chased him out after buying the order, he had already walked far away. Several little girls in the pharmacy quickly gathered at the door and screamed. I glanced back and muttered: "What are you doing?"

I ran to catch up with Zhao Shuang and strangled his neck with my arms: "Why are you running so fast? What the hell?"

He glared at me and said nothing. I pointed at the station store with my finger on his shoulder: "There is still some time, go buy some delicious food for grandma." I pulled him away without waiting for his response. go.

The return journey went smoothly, and we arrived at Qiaotou Station just after dark. Zhao Shuang accompanied me to the second aunt's house with tacit understanding to carry gifts and burn incense. He also gave a bunch of things to the second aunt. The second aunt saw that we were spending so much money and said some kind words.

We wandered back to grandma's house at ten o'clock. Grandma received the gift and scolded her: "I spend money randomly as soon as I go out, and I don't know how to save money to marry a wife!" When I shamelessly stuffed the chocolate into her When talking to her, she smiled again and took my and Zhao Shuang's hands and said, "It's so sweet!"

There was nothing to say after that. At night I dreamed of a temple. The sound of chanting and the smell of incense were hazy and unreal, disturbing me as if I was awake but not awake. Occasionally I open my eyes and look around to make sure I'm not really in a temple. Zhao Shuang's sleeping face came into view. He was tightly wrapped in quilt and leaning on the bed, almost falling off the bed. He exuded a defensive aura. He was really a weirdo.

After finally staying up until dawn, I kicked Zhao Shuang: "I have to go to my second aunt's house!" After saying that, I stepped over him to get dressed. Zhao Shuang also immediately stood up and put on his clothes.

"My grandma has a funeral today, you can rest at home! I was very tired after riding in the car all day yesterday." I looked at Zhao Shuang and said, he almost stayed with me when he came back this time, and he didn't even bother to spend time with grandma. We left the next day. How could I bear to let him accompany me all the time?

"Grandma will also ask me to help you!" As he said this, he bent down and put on his shoes quickly, and packed his things very neatly.

Because I didn't sleep well last night, I was always in a dizzy state. Zhao Shuang has been following the second aunt running back and forth to take care of things, which makes me very leisurely. Finally, he helped me hold a white jar that was still hot and said: "Second aunt is still burning clothes, let's go and store the ashes. Your uncle said that he will not send the ashes for a joint burial until Qingming Festival."

I looked at Zhao Shuang blankly, and it took me a long time to realize that grandma's funeral was over. I'm a little sad, but life has to go on.

After dinner, I took Zhao Shuang to eat barbecue and drink beer, and discuss the arrangements for tomorrow. We have been fasting for several days because of the wake for grandma, and we have to eat meat after the funeral today. I ordered fifty skewers of mutton, half a dozen beers, and sat on the roadside to eat.

"Grandma doesn't seem to like me going to the locust tree. What will you say tomorrow?" I picked up a can of beer, opened it and handed it to Zhao Shuang. He didn't answer it, just picked up a can and opened it. I rolled my eyes at him, it was boring to fuss over a trivial matter. I took my beer and took a long sip.

Zhao Shuang also raised his head and took a big sip: "Let's go camping! We'll set off during lunch break and we won't meet anyone at that point!" He shook the beer can as if he was treating it as a red wine glass.

"You call going out at noon camping?" I looked at him teasingly.

"Otherwise? Are you planning to go there at night when it gets dark?" He raised his eyes and glanced at me. Thinking of the tree hole filled with black mist, I couldn't help but shudder and quickly shook my head.

"Do you remember that animals were often lost here before?" Zhao Shuang asked in a deep voice, staring at the beer can in his hand.

"Well, uncle lost sheep several times when he was running a ranch here. The big black dog that looked after the sheep also disappeared. We often used that black dog as a horse for riding. Do you remember it?" Speaking of this matter? I was also very curious and stared at the police uncle to see what unique insights he had.

"So it's best not to go out at night!" After saying this, Zhao Shuang picked up the beer and took a sip.

When I heard this, I rolled my eyes in anger. I really wanted to punch this idiot: "My uncle, a policeman, wants to catch the Gray Wolf and solve crimes for the people!"

"It's not like that! I've inspected some of the pastures where the crime occurred, and there were no wolf footprints around them!" He said seriously, and I could only hold my forehead on one side and sigh. These idiots are really irritating.

Just when I was racking my brains to tease him, he gently touched my leg with his knee. I looked at him in surprise, what could he do again?

Zhao Shuang raised his chin towards the roadside: "Someone is staring at us!"
