37. Chapter 37
Through the doorway on the side of the west ear room is the backyard, the same three main rooms and two ear rooms, the east and west wings, the verandah, and then the back cover room. When Su Lao had not yet retired, the old man opened a door behind the back cover room and designed it as a clinic, where the old man treated people, and now the house is empty, and everything is covered with dust.
A door was opened next to the east wing of the main courtyard, and it was a garden when it walked in, and it was a rockery in front of it, this rockery looked quite high, and there were bamboo trees planted on it, and no one took care of it for so many years, and it was already overgrown with weeds.
Bypassing the rockery, it is a small pond, there is a hexagonal pavilion in the middle of the pond, connected by a corridor, zigzag and circuitous, seeing this pond, Su Mu remembered the pond dug in Sujiazhuang.
At this time, although the lotus flowers on the pond have been gone, the lotus leaves are still standing in the pond. Su Mu's mind couldn't help flashing, "Leave the residual lotus to listen to the sound of the rain......
Everywhere he walked, Su Mu silently recited the dust mantra to clean up the courtyard inside and out. Looking up at the gray sky, Su Mu frowned, living in such a place where the air quality was extremely bad, not to mention his cultivation to enter the realm, he should be thankful if he didn't go backwards. There was no way, Su Mu had to rummage in the space, preparing to gather the spirit array around the courtyard, and at the same time get some protective measures out.
The busy movements paused, touched his small chin, and snapped his fingers, "Just don't do anything, just make this courtyard more comfortable." After all, in three years, if there is no accident, he will come to the imperial capital to go to university.
Just do it. However, pulling back and forth, Su Mu was frustrated to find that the jade spirit rune that was completed last time seemed to be not enough to form a five-element spirit gathering array and a defensive array. Do you want to gamble on stones again?
Tsk, that's the only way, but he's not familiar with the imperial capital at all, so he has to find someone who is familiar with this place to lead the way. Make a phone call to my grandfather and ask him to find someone to come out and be a guide? Scratching his face, Su Mu was considering the feasibility of this matter.
Seeing that it was getting late, Su Mu decided to find someone to lead the way the next day, and he didn't say anything all night.
Su Mu was still worried about whether to call the old man and ask, or go directly to Wang Lao for help, when the doorbell at the gate of the courtyard rang. Su Mu was stunned, this is really a strange thing, how long has he been in the imperial capital? Someone is coming to the door? But he didn't think it was because he was there.
opened the door, but saw Yan Hao standing outside the door, Su Mu was a little surprised, after this guy left Sujiazhuang, he couldn't be contacted, and no one answered the phone, thinking of his profession, Su Mu didn't feel strange.
"Yan Xiaohao, why are you here? No, how did you know I was here? I only arrived in the imperial capital yesterday. Su Mu saw that it was him, turned sideways, and let Yan Hao into the courtyard.
Yan Hao shrugged, "You don't look at what I'm doing!" ”
"Oh? So powerful? "Su Mu didn't believe it at all!
Yan Hao stopped teasing him, "I just completed a task yesterday and got a few days off, and I originally wanted to go back to Sujiazhuang to visit you and Grandpa Su, but when I called, his old man said that you were in the imperial capital and gave me the address, so I came here." ”
Su Mu nodded, that's right, their ancestors and grandchildren are both ordinary people, if their whereabouts are checked at every turn, they will be known by someone at every turn, and they are extremely scary when they think about it, "You came just in time, I just wanted to visit the imperial capital." I haven't been here before, and I don't know where to start, are you familiar with the imperial capital? ”
Yan Hao smiled, "You really asked the right person, although I am not from the Imperial Capital, three of my teammates are natives of the Imperial Capital, and our team is also a special brigade of the Imperial Capital, and when I was on vacation in previous years, I also stayed here." ”
Su Mu clapped his hands and said happily: "That's what it means, let's go, let's go to the gambling stone first!" ”
Yan Hao was a little stupid, "Gambling on stones again?" Are you addicted? ”
"How is that possible?" Coughed embarrassedly, it seems that the last time I went to gamble on the stone, I was with this person? "You know better than me what the air in this imperial capital looks like, I want to gamble on some jade to decorate this courtyard, not to mention anything else, it's not bad to purify the air."
Yan Hao: "That's okay, but you have to wait, I'll make a call first." After all, I can only be regarded as a beginner in the gambling stone industry, and I still have to find someone who knows more about gambling stones here in the imperial capital. After speaking, he directly took out his mobile phone and made a call to Lin Qingfeng. After hanging up the phone, he nodded at Su Mu, this matter is done.
Su Mu nodded, took the person to a small reception room separated from the inverted room, boiled water to make tea, and then asked, "You said there is a holiday?" ”
Yan Hao: "Well, this time one of our team members was seriously injured, and the others were more or less injured and had to rest for a while. ”
He looked Yan Hao up and down, and suddenly spoke, "You have broken through the fourth layer." This is an affirmative sentence.
Yan Hao: "Yes, you see that?" ”
"How could I not see such a noticeable change?" Putting down the teacup, Su Mu grabbed Yan Hao's left hand and carefully checked his pulse. Martial arts advancements are often accompanied by dark injuries, and if they are not dealt with in time, it will be a danger sooner or later.
However, judging from Yan Hao's pulse, there is no such situation, and it is thought that it is the foundation laid by Yan Hao in the aura environment of Sujiazhuang.
"That's right, the fourth layer of alchemy, and it's at its peak. I'll just say, your martial arts comprehension is extremely high, although you are older when you first learned, but it is not an obstacle. ”
Yan Hao listened attentively to Su Mu's words, his fingers subconsciously rubbed the teacup, and seeing his small movements, Su Mu raised his eyebrows, "Do you have anything to say?" ”
Yan Hao came back to his senses, smiled a little embarrassedly, and told Su Mu what happened when he advanced, as well as the agreement with Chang Shan and others later, and then said: "I don't know why I wanted to hide it from my superiors at that time, I always think that this is very good, and I don't need to make everyone know." Later, when they offered me advice, I agreed. ”
He glanced at Su Mu cautiously and found that he was not angry, so he continued, "This time we went to America on a mission, and we found some information there, and that country had made some breakthroughs in genetic research. This time we almost couldn't come back, and then it was because of my advancement that we got out of the danger. I wondered if we could teach a few of them alchemy, and at least have one more chance to save their lives. ”
The matter is a matter of secret, Yan Hao said it a little unclearly, but with Su Mu's cleverness, he understood it. Immediately Shen pondered. Alchemy is not something that cannot be passed on, he doesn't have the so-called "Tao is not lightly" concept of the family, in his thoughts, it is normal to share good things with good friends.
And according to Yan Hao, if the country opposite really has a breakthrough in genetic engineering, then they should also pay attention here. However, domestic martial artists will not teach outsiders kung fu lightly, I wonder if they pass it on to others so aggressively, will it attract a group of people to attack them?
"If it's a trustworthy person, you can teach it if you want to. However, you have to look at the character first, and then look at the qualification. White-eyed wolf or something, I really don't like it. In the end, Su Mu nodded.
Yan Hao has no opinion, this matter is settled.
I haven't seen each other for a month, and the two of them are like old friends for many years, sitting there drinking tea and chatting, which is really a rare leisure time in the lives of the two. Soon, though, someone outside came to ruin the tranquility.
To Yan Hao's surprise, except for Wang Hao, who was a little seriously injured, the other four teammates came, "Why are you all here?" ”
Chen Ping'an smiled and asked rhetorically: "What's wrong?" Surprised? ”
"Yes, especially the captain, didn't you say that you were going back to the family to make a report? Released so quickly? "After more than a year of living and dying together, the relationship between the six people is not comparable to ordinary people.
"Didn't you hear that you need a guide from the imperial capital, and you specially recommended it from me?" Chang Shan smiled, obviously in a good mood.
Everyone else was a little surprised, Chang Shan, as their captain, was older than them, and he was calm, and he was rarely heard joking with people, today is the sun coming out of the west?
"Boss, are you going to be promoted?" Su Mingjun laughed.
Su Mu had already brewed the tea again and distributed it to everyone one by one.
Chang Shan took the teacup, and then replied: "There is no promotion, it's just that this time our task has been completed well, and there are some substantial rewards on top." ”
"Oh? What's in it? The others were curious and hurriedly asked.
"I don't know exactly either." Chang Shan said honestly, "Listen to the meaning of our old man, and promise to satisfy us!" ”
"Cut~~" turned out to be disdainful of everyone, isn't this equivalent to not saying it!
Su Mu looked at these people joking without scruples, and felt a little envious in his heart, this kind of friendship that has gone through life and death, he has never experienced it, maybe he can go to the army to experience it?
Seeing that the topic was about to deviate, Yan Hao had to open his mouth to pull the topic back, "I asked you to come because I wanted you to be a guide, are you going to stay here directly?" ”
"Isn't the tea too delicious?" Not only is it delicious, but if you taste it carefully, this tea seems to have a trace of magical power in it, and you can obviously feel a trace of change in your body when you drink it.
Su Mingjun even said, "This tea seems to contain a trace of vitality!" After drinking it, I could feel that the dark wounds left on my body were getting better. "Everyone has already drunk four or five glasses, and looking at the way they look, it seems that they still want to refill them.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's vitality!" Chen Ping'an immediately interfaced.
Yan Hao was stunned and turned his head to look at Su Mu. Su Mu didn't expect these people's senses to be so keen, saying that the tea was delicious, but it was better to say that he secretly added a drop of spiritual spring water to it.
But he couldn't say this, so he could only focus on making tea and pretending that he didn't know.
Yan Hao knew that there were some reasons that could not be humanized by outsiders as soon as he saw him, so he changed the topic very skillfully.
Lin Qingfeng continued the previous topic and said: "It's still early at this time, didn't you just say that you were going to gamble on stones?" Anyway, there are only a few places to gamble on stones in the imperial capital, and they are all left over from other people's play. If you want to buy good food, you should go to Myanmar or Pingzhou, which is a paradise for stone gamblers. In other words, don't you only like jadeite, don't you like gambling stones? Transsexualized? ”
Yan Hao shook his head, "It's not that I want to gamble on the stone, it's Xiao Mu who wants to go." ”
Lin Qingfeng was surprised at this moment, "I said, this child is not yet an adult!" I sue you Yan Xiaohao, don't turn people astray! Such a good child, if you are abducted astray, see what you do! Turning his head to Su Mu, he showed a smile that he thought was kind, "Little friend, don't listen to Yan Xiaohao, gamble on stones and lose nine out of ten, haven't you heard of it?" 'Immortals can't break an inch of jade', that thing can't be touched. ”
This kid looks like a good boy who is obedient, and if he is cornered by these weird people, this sin will be a big one.
Fortunately, Su Mu's heart is strong enough, and this smile can really stop children from crying at night......
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who likes to gamble when I have money and nowhere to spend." Su Mu felt that he should explain.
Although several people still don't believe Su Mu's statement, Chen Ping'an also said that since the child wants to go and see it, it's not good to stop it. It's better to have them watching and protecting you today than letting him go out on his own.
This sentence attracted everyone's approval, and the four of them stopped persuading at the moment, and they all geared up, preparing to take Su Mu to the gambling stone market to see it.
Su Mu felt funny, but he was very heartwarming, maybe he didn't have to be too afraid that the people around him would leave before him in the future, and he would be left alone in this world, because these people had lived in this world alive.
I don't know if it's because of the change in mood, Su Mu felt that the bottle strength in the later stage of his foundation building was a little loose, around him, the aura automatically formed a aura cycle around him, and the others were still talking there, Yan Hao seemed to have sensed it, turned his head and glanced at Su Mu, but he couldn't see anything.
Today's Su Mu only needs an opportunity to get married.
