"That can't be done." Xiao Zhao shook his head crazily with resistance written all over his face: "I have already committed a big taboo by coming to pick you up secretly. If I send you to Sister Xue's place with my own hands again, I will definitely not have good juice to eat later.
"
"Then you can send me to Man Yue's house first." Master Ning thought for a while and said, "Anyway, Man Yue's house and Xiao Xue's house seem to be very close, and it will be the same if I go there to wait for Xiao Xue."
"Okay, I'll take you there right now." Xiao Zhao said, started the car, and turned the steering wheel to go out while casually asking: "How long do you plan to stay this time? Do you have a ticket to go back before the New Year?"
"Maybe I won't leave." Master Ning shook his head: "I came here with a mission. If I don't complete it, my bones may be buried here."
"It's so scary. Your mission sounds very informal."
"It's not bad, but the risk factor is a bit high." Master Ning asked again: "Are Chen Ling and the others accompanying Xiaoxue?"
"I went to visit once before, but after all, it is a family matter of the Gu family. It is not convenient for us outsiders to stay there." Xiao Zhao added: "It is said that if there is no accident later, the new head of the Gu family will be Sister Xue. These days
Our old man keeps asking me to go out and walk with Sister Xue more to make some plans for the future, but I always try to deal with it haha... After all, Sister Xue has so many troubles to worry about right now, so we friends should stop worrying about those little things.
It’s disturbing her.”
"But hasn't she graduated yet?" Master Ning frowned: "Is Mr. Gu's physical condition so bad?"
"There's nothing I can do about it if I don't graduate. Sister Xue's father has a laid-back temperament, and her mother is also an outsider. In terms of ability and qualifications, she is the most suitable. It's impossible to ignore the better ones and choose those with the ability."
Isn’t it possible?”
"What's going on with the third generation of the Gu family? Can none of them be of any use?"
"Hey, you can just say this in front of us, don't say it outside..." Xiao Zhao replied carelessly: "Those of them are not useless, they are just incomparable to our Sister Xue...
It’s okay to have a little sister Gu Huaige, but it’s a pity that she’s only fifteen years old. Otherwise, there’s a slight possibility that she could take over Sister Xue’s class... but it’s only possible.”
"..."
"Actually, I can understand them very well." Xiao Zhao said with emotion: "When you have such a dazzling cousin or cousin in your family, you will always be compared and hit. That kind of
It feels like... tsk tsk tsk... I'm giving up on myself every minute, okay?"
Master Ning was slightly stunned, and said to himself that my two girlfriends are really standard children from other people's families, especially Jiang Manyue. They are basically at the level of childhood shadows of other people of the same age, and I feel scared when I hear their names.
Everyone is pretty fierce, why are you, Lu Jiujiu, stretching your crotch?
"I'll drop you off when we get to 500 meters in front of Sister Jiang's house... You can't drive in there... You go find her yourself... By the way, do you have a place to stay?"
"I should probably go find a hotel..." Master Ning said that I would like to buy a house in Yanjing, but unfortunately I don't have a household registration and I haven't paid social security here...
If nothing goes wrong, I might come here more often in the future. Do you want to find a way to make it a permanent place to stay?
Nowadays, Master Ning has escaped from the state of having no money, and has reached the miserable state of having money but no way to spend it. Power and wealth have not been separated since ancient times. If he wants to happily spend money to do things, the sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks under him will also
It's time to play your part.
"Okay, we're almost at the intersection ahead... You should have walked this road before, I won't get involved in what happens next... Xiao Ning, you have to promise to your brother that you won't betray me in exchange for benefits!
"
"Don't worry, don't worry, I will never be the kind of guy who sells his friends for glory." Master Ning responded: "The front is right? Then I'll go..."
Master Ning in the rearview mirror continued to move away as the car started. Xiao Zhao looked at his slightly bleak and desolate back, couldn't help but sigh softly, and then found a corner to stop the car and took out the
I made several video calls with my good friends on my mobile phone.
The beep rang for a moment, and Chen Ling and Jingjing were the first to get through. The remaining one, Xiao Liu, hesitated for a while and also joined the video call. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xiao Zhao pretended to flick the cigarette ashes, and said:
With an expression that concealed his merit and fame, he said:
"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."
Xiao Liu: "Well done, Erwu Zai!"
Chen Ling: "Really or not? It happened so quickly? Xiaoning cares more about Xuebao than I thought. Everyone came here during the New Year. It seems like true love."
Jingjing: "Thank you for your hard work, brother! If you are killed by Full Moon later, we will be responsible for delivering the speech and flowers at your funeral."
Xiao Liu: "Brother, I will personally customize a funeral service for you. Just like what is said on the Internet, I will select a group of people dressed in black to observe silence in front of your tombstone, so that you can feel the joy of being treated as a boss."
Chen Ling: "What black clothes? How can this level of service be worthy of our hard-working Comrade Xiao Zhao? He is a prodigal son who has returned! Why don't Ma Hou Shaojiu come with a group?"
Xiao Liu: "But Magic Girl Zhao Leehom is a bit too flashy, isn't it?"
Jingjing: "Everyone is gone, why do you care about whistling? Just wait and eat."
Xiao Zhao:???
"Is this how you treat heroes?" Xiao Zhao said sadly: "I risked my life to lure Xiao Ning to accompany our sister Xue. Are you adding insult to injury like this?"
"Isn't this your repentance for being a kid for so many years?"
"I was the one who was the second and fifth son in the past. What does it have to do with who I am now?" Xiao Zhaoyi replied righteously: "Anyway, I don't care. Just tell me what I did today and whether I can be the one in Sister Xue's wedding in the future."
Best man!"
"Can, can, can, can!"
"Xiao Zhao, you are this."
"If I hadn't had to do the job of bridesmaid, I would have given it to you."
"Forget it about bridesmaids and stuff, I'm just in women's clothing."
"Indeed." Xiao Liu continued: "It's better not to torture everyone."
Chen Ling:?
Jingjing:?
Isn’t this conversation between you two very informative?
"Anyway, we finally helped Xiaoxue come over." Chen Ling sighed: "I hope it can make her feel better. I saw Xuebao looking haggard a few days ago."
"Can you not feel haggard? Now everyone in the Gu family is staring at the old man and her, as well as outside. If Mr. Gu lets go like this, outsiders will have to be careful."
"Yes, although Mr. Jiang can help scare some young people, the Gu family and the Jiang family are not the same family after all... After all, they have to face their own day alone. I don't know how much of Xiaoxue's life will belong to her.
"
"I hope Mr. Gu is well." Chen Ling said and sighed: "I thought I saw Mr. Gu in good spirits some time ago, but I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye he would have to stay in a nursing home... Things are unpredictable."
Everyone fell silent when they said this. No matter what angle they stood on, they all hoped that their friends could survive this difficulty well. However, at this sensitive time when the power of the Gu family is changing, the family they represent behind them
Neither the government nor the forces allow them to get too close.
Friendship is friendship, and when it really comes to influence the whole body, no one can be as willful as a child. After thinking about it, I feel that only Master Ning, an outsider, is the most suitable to accompany Gu Guanxue and bring her
Warmth and strength.
So, they brought Ning Yuan over.
Master Ning was naturally aware of Xiao Zhao's little thoughts, but he was coming to Yanjing for some reason, and it didn't matter whether he was earlier or later.
Just like now, when he stood at the entrance of the alley that he had passed by many times during the summer vacation but had never walked in, apart from a faint emotion, the only thing left in his heart was determination.
It's about to happen!
He stepped into the alley, with dappled tree shadows and warm sunshine. It seemed completely different from the fast-paced and tense atmosphere of Yanjing, the metropolis outside. Everyone who passed by here seemed so calm and calm, and the warmth of the winter afternoon
The sun shone on a few old people sitting at the stone table in the courtyard playing chess, casting the shadows of time.
Man Yue and Xuebao, who grew up here, were able to develop that unique temperament, which probably has a lot to do with the environment in which they grew up.
He had never been to the exact location of Jiang Manyue's house before. Every time he had the chance to send Miss Manyue home during the summer vacation, he always stopped at the intersection of the alley. Although it was a bit regretful, this did not become the foreshadowing of his current situation.
Piecing together the fragmented information from the chat with Xuebao, Gu Guanxue and Jiang Manyue live very close to each other, so close that the two families can even enter and exit at will through a small door in the backyard. It can almost be said that they are separated by a wall.
If the curtains were not drawn in the room, Xuebao and Man Yue could even see each other doing what they were doing sitting by the window.
Such a unique geographical advantage is destined that Master Ning will not have to worry about finding the Man Yue family as long as he finds Xuebao's house, and Xuebao has never concealed the idea of Ning Yuan's home address...
It's just...why do it seem like all the uncles and aunts here are looking at me?
With such a strange feeling, Master Ning faced the attention of adults, aunts, and children all the way, nodding and smiling to express friendship, and finally reached the front door of Xuebao's house...
The courtyard-style ancient buildings in Yanjing are majestic and majestic. The appearance retains the essence of the original architectural art, but you can feel that it is extraordinary just by looking at it.
There was not a single car along the way. It must have been because of the special location here that no traffic was allowed. Master Ning stood at the gate of Xuebao's house and took a look. He didn't see anyone coming or going, and he suddenly understood:
The Gu family is probably busy working for Mr. Gu right now. In this case, Xuebao will definitely not be at home.
What should I do? I don’t know if the Gu family’s nursing home is mysterious or not... If no one takes me there, it’s impossible for Xuebao to come out to pick me up, right? Then what other touching scenes are there?
How about...ask Man Yue to take me...cough cough cough...
Such thoughts only circulated in his mind for a moment before he was decisively killed. He came here just to solve the full moon's double method. Now he asked her to take him to visit Guanxue... He was really afraid of Yanjing Cemetery.
Unsaleable, right?
It seems that I have no choice but to contact Xiao Zhao or Chen Ling and the others to send the Buddha to the west... You can't just let me wait here alone? I'm afraid that getting too close will trigger the full moon wave boss's hatred range and kill him directly.
…
Just as he was contemplating whether he should go to see Man Yue or Xuebao first, an old man with a strong voice stopped him:
"Hey! Boy, what are you doing? Let's put this aside for a while, right?"
When Master Ning heard the news, he saw an energetic old man with silver hair standing not far away and shouting to him. The old man was wearing a green military coat. The clothes looked quite old, but he was reluctant to throw them away. Just as Master Ning turned around to look at him
By the time he arrived, the uncle was already walking towards him with long strides.
He looked very imposing, with a straight face as if he could scare a child to tears. He walked over and looked Master Ning up and down, then his tone changed slightly and said: "Young man, I see that you look decent and you are a serious person.
, why are you running here to do bad things?"
"Uncle... I didn't mean to do anything bad. Didn't I come here to find someone?" Master Ning thought for a while and then began to get close to the uncle and said: "Looking at your aura, uncle, you must have been a soldier when you were young. You were just arrested.
I almost shuddered when you called me to stop...how do you maintain your energy and energy here?"
"You still have some sharp eyesight..." The uncle's stern face softened slightly, "It's not easy to find people here. Are you having any difficulties?"
"It's a bit difficult to say it's difficult... Where are you from, sir?"
"native."
"No...I'm asking you where you live..."
"We live in the compound nearby." The uncle said sternly, "Why, you kid still want to step on my property?"
"Looking at what you said, I can't do any other serious things besides stepping on things."
"Then what serious things do you do?" The uncle asked, "What kind of work do you do?"
"I can…"
Master Ning was just about to say something in reply, but then he suddenly realized that something was wrong. It was obviously me who was behind this old man's words. Why was he leading him away instead?
He was slightly startled, and looked up at the uncle's face that looked upright and serious but actually revealed a bit of cunning. He suddenly became unhappy: "Uncle, you are not being kind... Can't we be more honest? Less tricks and more tricks.
Isn’t it good to be sincere?”
"You were the one who cheated on me here first, why did you blame me instead?" The uncle said: "Okay, let's talk to each other. You just asked me where I live, and this time it's my turn...you
What does the boy do?"
Master Ning: "..."
Facing such a scheming master, Master Ning couldn't do anything even if he was petty. He could only sigh and reply honestly:
"I don't have a job, I'm still a student."
"Student? You don't look like you?" The old man shook his head: "I think you look like an idle member of society."
Master Ning:?
"Uncle, are you just going around the corner and calling me like a hooligan?"
