Shao Laosan's apology was published on the entire Internet, and public opinion turned to discuss social morality and environmental protection. The pressure of public opinion on the nature reserve was greatly reduced, and everyone from top to bottom breathed a sigh of relief.
The director's face, which had been solemn for several days, relaxed. The volunteer gathering resumed that night, and all the laughter returned.
It's just that Xin Xiaolei's expression is always a little unnatural. Her previous attitude towards Li Xuan was a bit too enthusiastic, including after the long-lasting hug. Even she felt that it was too unreserved.
So she overcorrected and deliberately kept a little distance from Li Xuan.
Li Xuan didn't care either. He held a bottle of beer and watched the comings and goings of the world indifferently. He was filled with joys and sorrows, and his heart felt peaceful.
The next two days were uneventful, and in a blink of an eye it was the last day Xin Xiaolei stayed, and then she had to catch the train back to Pingzhou to go to school.
"Are you free tonight? Let's go to town for dinner together?" Xin Xiaolei asked Li Xuan.
"Okay." After a few days of contact, Li Xuan also had a good impression of this enthusiastic girl.
"Then what do you want to eat?" Xin Xiaolei asked, "Stir-fried vegetables? Barbecue? Hot pot?"
"Anything is fine. It doesn't matter what you eat, what matters is who you eat with." Li Xuan said.
Xin Xiaolei suddenly bloomed with a smile like a flower bud.
While they were chatting, the director suddenly came over with a few people and said to them: "Important people will come over later, so cheer up."
"What important person?" Xin Xiaolei asked strangely, "Isn't it the leader who came to inspect?"
Li Xuan shook his head and said he didn't know.
Not long after, two Mercedes-Benz G's came speeding up and stopped at the mountain pass.
The director quickly walked a few steps and went over to greet him.
The car door opened, and a few men in suits and leather shoes got out first, and then stood respectfully beside the car, welcoming an old man with white hair, a boyish face, and a slender figure.
This old man's hair and beard are all white with no trace of color. He wears a gray robe, holds a whisk in his hand, and has a bun on his head. He looks like a fairy and has extraordinary abilities.
Xin Xiaolei said "Wow": "Isn't this Master Teng?"
"What Master Teng?" Li Xuan was confused.
Xin Xiaolei said in surprise: "You don't even know about Master Teng? He is the master who lectures on the Yellow Emperor's Internal Medicine at the Wanjia Forum on TV. My parents are his loyal viewers and often follow the prescriptions he gave to regulate their bodies. It is said that
Very effective.”
Li Xuan smiled: "I rarely watch TV."
"Then you really should watch it. I have watched his lectures with my parents several times. They are easy to understand and very interesting. I didn't really believe in ancient medicine before, but I think his lectures are very good."
Xin Xiaolei said enthusiastically.
At this time, the director and others had already surrounded Master Teng, accompanied him to visit several small attractions near the mountain pass, and also arranged a table of the highest-end lunch at the largest hotel in town.
Many volunteers took the opportunity to take photos with Master Teng, and Xin Xiaolei also took one. In the photo, Master Teng has a kind face and kind eyes, and he is indeed very master-like.
"Huo Xuan, do you know? I just overheard the conversation between the director and Master Teng. It turns out that Shao Laosan apologized to everyone on the Internet and it was Master Teng's credit!" Xin Xiaolei said mysteriously after returning from a group photo.
"What?" Li Xuan was stunned.
I personally used the magical power of shrinking into an inch to catch Shao Laosan, and I ran 800 kilometers away to catch him. I also asked the Ping'an Provincial Security Association to deal with it. How did it become Master Lao Shizi Teng's credit?
Xin Xiaolei said excitedly: "Master Teng was very angry after watching the video on the Internet, so he used some divination skills and his connections in the security association to catch Shao Laosan!"
"Uh..." Although Li Xuan is in the critical period of becoming a mortal and needs to maintain emotional stability as much as possible, he is still a little annoyed when he hears Master Teng accepting credit so shamelessly.
"It turns out that it was Master Teng who took action. I asked why the Security Association suddenly caught Shao Laosan. It seems that Master Teng is really a capable person. I must not miss his lectures in the future. Yes.
Okay, I want to buy those books published by Master Teng and read them. Huo Xuan, how about I give you a set too, so that you can learn from the master's style!" Xin Xiaolei said.
Li Xuan waved his hands and said, "I'll forget it. I'm just a piece of rotten wood and cannot be carved."
After dinner, the reserve sent a car as a guide to drive Master Teng’s two Mercedes-Benz Gs through the mountain pass and into the dam grassland.
Li Xuan asked: "What are they going to do? Travel?"
Xin Xiaolei shook his head and said, "I don't know...but I seem to have heard from the director that Master Teng went to the grassland to look for a kind of medicinal material."
"Medicine?" Li Xuan remembered it in his mind.
After work in the evening, Li Xuan and Xin Xiaolei went to a hotel in the town. They had four dishes and a few bottles of wine, chatting about life, the past, the future and the world, but not about relationships.
Whether it is Li Xuan, who faces everything calmly, or Xin Xiaolei, who is passionate, they actually know that after they meet by chance, it is still unknown whether they will see each other again in the future. Unless they are willing to enjoy just one night of fun, they will never rashly start a relationship that is destined to be fruitless.
Feelings.
Everyone gets drunk even if they are not drunk. Perhaps because there are a lot of things accumulated in her emotions, Xin Xiaolei got drunk very quickly.
Of course, Li Xuan would not take advantage of others. After sending her back to the volunteer dormitory, he looked up at the stars in the sky and felt extremely calm.
…
The next day, Xin Xiaolei left without saying hello, neither waving nor taking away a single cloud.
Li Xuan was still working as a volunteer quietly, unfazed by favors and humiliations. Occasionally when he had some free time, he would watch the clouds in the sky change, sometimes curling up and sometimes relaxing.
Another week passed like this, and there was one less crack on the golden elixir.
It seems that it won't take long to successfully transform into a mortal.
"Boom, boom, boom", Li Xuan was looking at the clouds in a daze that day, when the roar of the engine suddenly came to his ears.
When I looked up, I saw three cars roaring out of the mountain pass and not stopping until they reached the entrance of the service point.
But Master Teng and his party, who had been in the grassland for more than a week, didn't know what they had done to stay in the grassland for such a long time.
All three cars were so dirty that the original color could not be seen. When the car doors were opened, the straight suits before became unkempt. Even Master Teng lost a bit of his handsomeness and looked very tired and haggard.
Li Xuan took a glance and suddenly discovered that there was some kind of strange aura in one of the big G cars.
"Is this...the breath of a spiritual beast?" Li Xuan was slightly startled.
Spirit beasts refer to creatures that have not yet been refined and cannot take shape, but have been born with intelligence close to that of humans.
The earth's spiritual energy has been exhausted, and there is almost no soil to breed monsters and monsters. Spiritual beasts have reached the limit of what the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can breed.
Could it be that Master Teng ran to the dam grassland for so long just to capture this spiritual beast?
