Chapter 117: Father
The off-road vehicle stopped at the back door of Wen Guzhai, Tao Mengchu parked the car in the backyard neatly, and Lin Qianqian got out of the car behind Gu Yaopan, looking at the small building in front of her with a curious expression.
When she turned through the front door just now, she had already noticed that there was a small storefront in front of this small building, but it looked very strange between the beautifully decorated and tall buildings on both sides. It always reminds her of the American movie "Elf Mouse Brother" that she watched before, the small house sandwiched between two skyscrapers.
"Why don't you do business in the daytime?" asked Lin Qianqian strangely.
The roller shutter door of the store was closed, and the lights in the front store could be seen from the back door, Gu Yaopan glanced forward from the corridor, his brows furrowed slightly, and he paused, but he still went straight upstairs.
"I don't have time to take care of it, so it's better not to open the door. Gu Yaopan said casually, remembering that she ran into Ai Xinyu as soon as she opened the door during the Chinese New Year, and she felt uncomfortable again.
If it weren't for Lin Qianqian, it would be more difficult for her to speak. Tao Mengchu, who was following the two women, hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and muttered secretly in his heart.
took the two of them to the second floor, and unexpectedly saw Hu Shanshan sitting in the living room munching chicken wings, and when he saw Gu Yaopan bringing people in, he smiled at the guests obediently, and then hugged the chicken wings and planned to rush back to his room.
"Just Xiao Ni down there alone?" Gu Yaopan looked at Hu Shanshan's back and asked.
"I'll go down and be with her!" Hu Shanshan cleverly turned around and ran directly to the storefront downstairs.
"Eat chicken all day long, and I'm not afraid of fattening!" Gu Yaopan looked at Hu Shanshan's back and shook his head.
"Forget it, she doesn't eat chicken, who eats chicken?" Tao Mengchu shook his head with a smile.
He has been here for a while, and he naturally knows the details of Hu Shanshan, but this little goblin is also obedient, never comes to him, and usually goes in and out with Xiao Ni, An An goes to school part, so he doesn't pay much attention to it.
Lin Qianqian looked at the two of them with a confused expression, obviously feeling that there was something in their words, but she couldn't understand it, her heart was itching to death, and she didn't dare to ask.
"Sit down, wait for me for a moment. Gu Yaopan pointed to the sofa and said to Lin Qianqian. After saying that, he turned around and went up to the third floor.
After a while, Gu Yaopan walked down with a small wooden box, and the sword in his hand was gone.
"You take this, wear it around your neck, don't take it off. Gu Yaopan sat next to Lin Qianqian and pushed the wooden box towards her.
Lin Qianqian took the box, opened the lid of the box, and a moist seed jade lay quietly in the box, the surface was engraved with tangled and swirling lines, like aquatic plants in the seawater, gently dancing and drifting with the waves, and there was a faint brilliance flowing between the lines.
"It's so beautiful!" Lin Qianqian exhaled lightly, but then reacted: "No, this is too precious!
She looked at Gu Yaopan's face and became serious. The conditions of her family are not very good, and she has never seen any top-level jade jewelry or anything like that, but this seed jade is not ordinary at first glance. She's not stupid! I've also heard some rumors about the sky-high price of Hetian Yu, and she can't accept this thing.
"I'll give it to you. Gu Yaopan said. For her, the world's valuation of these things was never in her consideration.
"It's too expensive for me to want. Lin Qianqian shook her head. She couldn't accept such a valuable gift from Yao Pan just because she was friends.
"It's an amulet, and it's the kind that can be used many times, you don't want me to give you a one-time one, do you? Gu Yaopan rolled her eyes at Lin Qianqian.
This piece of seed jade is not as good as Xiao Ni's, but it is also made by her own hands, the effect will not be too bad, Lin Qianqian will enter the door in the future, the chance of encountering danger will be greatly increased, give her a talisman to protect her somewhat, this is also something she can do, for friends, Gu Yaopan will never be stingy.
Tao Mengchu looked at the seed jade in Lin Qianqian's hand, and felt envious in his heart: He also wants such a good thing!
"You take it!" Tao Mengchu said to Lin Qianqian, seeing that she turned her head to look at herself, and then continued:
"Although I promised to accept you as a registered disciple, but you are too late to learn the Tao, you will learn slower than when you were a child, and if you enter our industry, the danger factor will be much higher than that of ordinary people. ”
Lin Qianqian looked at Tao Mengchu, then turned her head to look at Gu Yaopan, and nodded her head in confirmation, then she took out the jade pendant from the box and put it around her neck in front of the two of them.
Tao Mengchu took out a USB flash drive from his backpack, handed it to Lin Qianqian, and said:
"This is the foundation of the Taoist cultivation of Maoshan entry, you take it back and read it, remember, disconnect the network when you watch it, unplug it directly after reading it, don't copy it to the computer, this USB flash drive, you keep it, don't drop it." ”
Lin Qianqian solemnly took the USB flash drive, with an expression of "I live and die with the USB flash drive", Gu Yaopan was amused for a while, waved her hand and asked Tao Mengchu to send her back to school, and went downstairs and turned into the front storefront. Xiao Ni stayed inside and didn't know what she was doing.
The lights in the store were bright, and before he entered the shop, Gu Yaopan heard Xiao Ni's voice, crisp and crisp, with some longing and melancholy.
"Yes, I remember that at that time, my father would bring us delicious food as soon as we went out, and once he brought us some donkey meat to burn, and my mother put it in the pot and heated it to make my sister and I eat it with oil!"
"Wow!
"What do you mean so happy?"
Gu Yaopan, who was standing at the back door, looked at Xiao Ni sitting on the shop with his pockets in his pockets, and Hu Shanshan on the side was wiping his saliva. Hearing Gu Yaopan's voice, the originally somewhat hazy shop surface suddenly brightened. A breeze blew, and there was a soft sound of "whoosh", and a few fluttering shadows disappeared in an instant.
"Sister!" Xiao Ni stood up and looked at Gu Yaopan a little sadly, with a little tears flashing in her eyes.
"I just talked to Uncle Li about my father. ”
Gu Yaopan approached Xiao Ni, stretched out her hand and rubbed the top of her head, compared to Xiao Ni, her impure daughter's feelings for her parents are really too thin.
She rarely thinks of her father, but she has a deeper impression of her mother, which may be related to the fact that her father often goes out, she is always vague about the appearance of that man, but Xiao Ni remembers him more deeply.
A looming short and fat arm stretched out from Gu Yaopan's back, wanting to avoid Gu Yaopan's grasp of the chicken wings in Hu Shanshan's hand on the side, but the moment he brushed Gu Yaopan's side, he retracted with a "whoosh", and returned Gu Yaopan with a cold snort.
"Sister, don't be cruel little brother! He just wants to eat a chicken leg. ”
Xiao Ni looked at the aggrieved appearance of the little bald head who only showed his eyes in the inkstone on the wooden shelf, and couldn't help laughing out loud, begging for him in her mouth.
"Can he eat?"
Gu Yaopan glanced at the little bald head, but picked up the wing bucket that Hu Shanshan was holding in his hand and put it in front of the incense burner in front of the inkstone. With a finger pinch, a piece of chicken flew and fell into the incense burner, and in a few moments, the golden chicken gradually became dull. A piece of translucent chicken floated in front of the little bald head, and he was so happy that he gnawed down on it, and his already round face was even rounder.
Hu Shanshan looked at her empty hands with a look of grievance, and gritted her teeth hatefully.
