12. Chapter 12
The days are in this old and young people are busy in the fruit forest and medicine garden every day, and slowly a month has passed, Yan Hao has been abiding by the agreement with Su Mu, and in the days of "recuperation", all the heavy work, dirty work, and tiring work are rushed to do. In fact, even if there was no agreement with Su Mu, Yan Hao would have done this, after all, seeing this old and young working there, but he was acting as an uncle or something, Yan Hao really couldn't do it.
In just one month, Yan Xiaohao, who was once the elite of the elite in the army, became a qualified fruit farmer in the blink of an eye, and at the same time, he had a detailed understanding of the characteristics of various medicinal materials and carefully served, and his serious energy once made Old Man Su think of accepting apprentices.
In the past month, Su Mu's perception of Yan Hao has also changed a lot, and he no longer has a nose that is not a nose and his eyes are not eyes.
Early in the morning, Yan Hao got up early and came to the courtyard to practice alchemy with Old Man Su as usual, but what made him strange was that Su Mu, who had gotten up early to meditate on weekdays, was nowhere to be seen.
"Grandpa Su, why didn't you see Mu Mu?" After accompanying the old man for an hour, he still didn't see Su Mu's figure, and Yan Hao finally couldn't help but ask.
The old man did not answer him immediately, but concentrated on his own movements, and the scene was a little awkward for a while. Yan Hao somewhat understood, he asked about the bottom line of the Su family's ancestors and grandchildren. Fortunately, he is not the kind of person who likes to get to the bottom of it, who doesn't have a secret of their own? At that moment, he didn't speak again, and concentrated on practicing.
"Alas!" Just when Yan Hao thought that the old man would not answer this topic, the old man Su took the initiative to speak, "You probably also discovered that Sujiazhuang is very different from the outside world, right?" ”
Yan Hao didn't know how to answer him for a while, he was stunned for a while, and nodded lightly.
"I know you're not an ordinary warrior, and you've probably heard of some secret things in the country. This Sujiazhuang was placed by Xiao Mu to gather a spirit array, just because there are no spirit stones in the current world, Xiao Mu can only draw spirit runes to replace them, but the spirit runes are not as good as spirit stones after all, and some spirit runes have to be remade every three months in order to maintain the aura of Sujiazhuang. ”
"Spirit Gathering Array?!" Yan Hao thought he had misheard. As a new human being, online articles or something, when there are no tasks or vacations, it is often read. As a man full of enthusiasm, I have read a lot of novels about Xianxia cultivation, but they are novels after all! As Mr. Su said, he has heard of some hidden things in China, and several of their previous missions are related to this kind of thing, and he has also been in contact with those people. It's one thing to just know, and it's so unbelievable when these things happen to you.
But today, what did he hear in Sujiazhuang, where he had lived for a month? There's a Spirit Gathering Array here? Thinking about it again, in the past month, he has seen some amazing things more than once, not to mention far away, just to say that the so-called alchemy he practiced is not an ordinary martial art.
"Yes! The ancestors of our Su family have always had legends of immortals. In the old man's heart, Yan Hao is an outsider after all, and some things that can't be let him know still can't be said, Old Man Su can only say in a vague tone.
The old man also had his own plans when he said this at this time. The old man understands that the changes in Sujiazhuang in the past three years are too obvious, whether it is those fruits rich in spiritual energy, or the aura full of environment here, it will definitely attract the attention of the above.
As a very well-known old Chinese doctor in China, the old man also knew some of the hidden people and things in the country before. The power of the whole country is not what it seems, and those who have magical power are the real essence of the whole country. The old man even knew that the state also had a department dedicated to managing these special personnel, and if his Xiao Mu's ability was known by the people above, those people would definitely come to recruit them as soon as possible.
Since the affairs of Sujiazhuang are all known by the people above, the result of being found out and taking the initiative to say it is not the same after all. Since they are all to be spoken, Yan Hao's mouth is better than that of a stranger.
"No wonder!" Yan Hao's face was stunned, but he was still very moved that Old Man Su would tell him such an important matter. No matter what it was for, he was finally initially accepted by this family. As an orphan, "home" is so important to him, which directly leads to the fact that from now on, every time he takes a vacation, Yan Hao will subconsciously return to Sujiazhuang, because there is a "family" that he recognizes.
After breakfast, the two of them did not go to work in the fruit grove and medicine garden as usual. Yan Hao was really curious about how Su Mu was going to make the zuò spirit rune, and seeing that Old Man Su didn't seem to object to him going to watch, he couldn't help it at the moment, turned around and walked towards Su Mu's room.
Because he didn't know if the sound of his footsteps would affect Su Mu, Yan Hao had to lift his breath and condense and tiptoe along. Fortunately, his alchemy these days has not been practiced in vain, although he has not yet reached the level of Cheng Dù, who is as light as a swallow, under the deliberate movements, his steps are indeed much brisker, and he soon arrived in front of Su Mu's window and peeked in.
Su Mu's room is located on the right hand side of the second floor, the room is not big, only a very characteristic bed, in the south of Yizhou, treasure island folk, people are accustomed to call the bed "bed", and this bed in Su Mu's room is very beautiful, including piano chairs, stepping cabinets, bean chairs, wall shelves, etc., a square bench in front of the bed, commonly known as a foot chair, as a use for taking off the shoes and boarding the bed. The bed is no different from the mainland, surrounded by screens on three sides, carving figures, landscapes, flowers and birds.
Yan Hao didn't know what the material of the wood was, but he could also see that the wood used in this set of furniture, even if it was not the top red sandalwood or huanghuali, at least it was a very rare Nanmu nowadays.
What Yan Hao didn't know was that this set of beds in Su Mu's house was the marriage of the Su family's grandmother when Old Man Su got married, and it had been many years.
A desk was placed under the windowsill, and Su Muduan was sitting in front of the table, holding a cinnabar pen in his hand, and was drawing moire patterns on a piece of yellow table paper. Next to it was a large stack of talismans that had already been drawn.
Su Mu, who was concentrating, did not notice Yan Hao's arrival, at this time, fine beads of sweat had already appeared on his delicate and small nose, which showed that this spirit rune was not easy to draw.
Yan Hao was stunned for a while, in his impression before, Su Mu was just a very beautiful little kid, and in the next contact, he would only rise to the level of a scholar with strong medical skills. However, at this time, Su Mu gave him a very unusual feeling, is it really the most beautiful serious man? Yan Hao found that his heart had missed a beat.
The relationship is so unreasonable, as an orphan, he is very eager to have a home of his own, maybe the two grandchildren of the Su family can become his family? However, his profession is very dangerous, and every time he goes on a mission, they have to write a will, and when he really can't come back, the troops will hand it over to their respective relatives.
And his will is still unknown to whom it should be written. But he thinks that from now on, his will already has a recipient.
When the spirit rune in Su Mu's hand was drawn, he finally found Yan Hao standing outside the window.
"Why are you here?"
"Oh, I just heard Grandpa Su say that you are making zuò spirit runes, and I was curious, so I came over to take a look."
"That's it! You've come just in time, I've finished making the spirit runes, so go with me and replace them!" "There's a free labor force or something, no need to use it in vain!
"Okay!" Yan Hao couldn't wait, immediately entered the house, packed and carried the tools and materials specified by Su Mu one by one, and prepared to be a qualified assistant, hoping to leave an excellent impression in Mu Mu's heart.
Su Mu was already familiar with the replacement of the spirit runes of the Spirit Gathering Array, and if he had done it himself, he only needed to use spiritual power to drive these spirit runes. But because Yan Hao was by his side, in order not to be too shocking, Su Mu decided to change them slowly one by one.
Poor Yan Hao didn't know that at this time, he had already been rectified by his own people, and he was still a little complacent because he could get the trust of the Su family's ancestors and grandchildren.
By the time the two of them had replaced all the ninety-nine eighty-one spirit runes, it was already sunset, and after dinner, Yan Hao went back to his hut to rest, and Yan Hao decided to go with the flow of nascent emotions in his heart.
Today's Su Mu is only fifteen years old, and Yan Hao himself is only nineteen years old, so he is still very young. And his profession, every time he goes on a mission, not only the communication is interrupted, but even his life is in danger, he used to be alone, but he didn't care, but now for the sake of his family, which is easy to get, but he can't take care of his life.
In Yan Hao's plan, he is ready to accumulate enough military merits in the next five years to raise his career to a few levels, so that he can leave the front line before Su Mu is fully grown, and become a civilian in the future, at least he can have more time to accompany Su Mu, isn't it?
At the same time, when he is on vacation, he often goes to Sujiazhuang to brush up on the feeling of saving zài, anyway, he is alone, and it is the same wherever he lives.
As for that, Su Mu is a man like him...... Yan Hao has automatically skipped it, in his heart, no matter whether Su Mu is a man or a woman, as long as he is Su Mu, it will be. As for the question of whether Su Mu will accept him, Yan Hao said, what if he doesn't accept it? Wouldn't it be okay to catch up with Su Mu and accept him?
Yan Hao was satisfied with the written plan and made up his mind that this plan will be implemented from now on!
At this time, Su Mu, who was preparing to rest, suddenly felt a chill behind him, as if he was being targeted by something......
