Yang Jingbin left Beijing by train to Xiliangzhou at half past seven on the evening of the day.

At that time, the night had just ended.

A black Jetta sedan with a photo of the capital galloped away from Beijing and drove south along the Beijing-Shenzhen Expressway.

The northwest of Linyang City, Yuzhou Province, and the southwest junction of Yanyun Zhaodu, is a majestic and undulating mountainous area. Historically, this area under the jurisdiction of Linyang City, barren and backward and extremely short of water resources, drought disasters occur from time to time, from the founding of the People's Republic of China to more than 500 years of history, the great drought has been harvested more than 30 times, natural disasters more than 100 times, human beings since civilization, the world's most terrible "cannibalism" phenomenon, here has appeared as many as five times.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the government and the local people fought against heaven and earth, under the condition that science and technology were not developed, and there were no heavy equipment, on the cliffs and cliffs that stretched over the Taihang Mountain, among the dangerous shoals and canyons, they dug holes in the mountains, built bridges in ditches, and built an artificial canal that runs through the mountain range, with a main trunk of more than 70 kilometers, which fundamentally solves the problem of drought.

This is a great project, which took ten years and has emerged countless singing and crying personnel, and is praised as "artificial Tianhe"

Midnight.

The black Jetta sedan speeding south from the capital drove along the relatively narrow road winding through the mountains into the densely vegetated and sparsely populated mountainous area. Even though it was night, there would be large freight trucks passing by on the highway from time to time, and the roar echoed in the mountains, and the bright light beams that were sometimes high and sometimes low were constantly tearing at the thick night.

Approaching the middle of the Hongqi Canal, the sedan found a place where it could barely stop without obstructing traffic.

The driver got out of the car and went into the lush mountain forest alone.

Time.

Hong Sheng and his son and apprentice live in a semi-deserted outpost in the mountains - the reason why it is said to be semi-deserted is because this small courtyard and four houses were originally built in the later stage of the construction of the Red Flag Canal, and a squad of militia was stationed to patrol every day to protect the Red Flag Canal from destruction.

That night, Hong Sheng and Old Man Qin worked together to prepare for the scheduled action for the next night, and from time to time they would complain about Qin Luofeng, who had lived in the capital for many days and did not come back, not caring about Old Man Qin's mood at all.

Old Man Qin had already understood Hong Shang's stinky personality, so he didn't care.

The two discussed while preparing, and by the way, they taught Hong Shang's son and apprentice, as well as the grandson of the old man Qin, the precautions for all aspects of the practice of arranging the array and raising the altar, etc., and the work was not wrong with the apprentice.

Qin Zhen is 75 years old this year.

There are two daughters and a son under his knees, Qin Luofeng is the third, and he is the only person in the family who has inherited the old man's mystical method - the two daughters of the old man Qin don't even know that their father is a mysterious mystic priest with the occult law.

Qin Zhen's wife passed away ten years ago.

The two daughters are now ordinary rural women, and every once in a while, they will come to the mountains to send their father some firewood, rice, oil, salt or something.

Old Man Qin has cultivated all his life, and his cultivation is still in the initial realm of refining qi and transforming gods.

No way......

Talent and qualification are just poor!

At that time, after arriving at the boundary of Linyang, in order to pursue a rare monster with spirituality, he accidentally broke his leg and was rescued by Qin Zhen, knowing that there was no hope of finding an apprentice with excellent talent in this life, and he could not live for a few years, so he could only teach a body of Xuanfa to Qin Zhen - the so-called being able to pull out pus is a good plaster, yes, it is better than nothing, right? Anyway, the Xuanfa can be passed on, maybe in the future, Qin Zhen will be able to find an apprentice with excellent talent and teach a contemporary heavenly master, a worldly immortal.

Now, the old man Qin's cultivation is not high, but he is comforted, his son Qin Luofeng's cultivation is already the Great Perfection of Qi Refining and Transformation God, and his grandson Qin Yao is only sixteen years old, and he has already touched the edge of the realm of Qi Refining and Transformation God. After taking down the corpse demon this time, with the abundant yin and evil qi as the assistance, presumably Qin Luofeng can enter the realm of refining the gods and returning to the void in one fell swoop, and Qin Yao, a child with a talent of blue, what kind of cultivation realm can he achieve?

Old Man Qin, who was in good health, slept quite sweetly.

Outside in the yard.

Hong sat cross-legged on a discarded millstone in a single robe, closed his eyes, and devoted himself to cultivation.

After returning from the capital, he called his son and apprentice, lived in this extremely remote, sparsely populated mountain, lived with the old man Qin, made each other a companion, talked about the Tao, and the environment here is beautiful and quiet, the aura of the five elements is relatively rich, suitable for cultivation, nominally, it is also preparing for taking down the corpse.

Hong Shang, who seems to be simple-minded and often causes trouble with a stinky mouth, is not really stupid enough to have the slightest scheming.

In particular, there is such a big interest as the corpse being involved......

He didn't have the heart to swallow it privately, but he had to be on guard.

Living with Old Man Qin, he actually had a little bit of Old Man Qin's thoughts - he knew that with Qin Zhen's cultivation and his grandson, it would be impossible to take down that corpse, but what if, Qin Luofeng came back quietly?

When the time comes, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren will not admit it, what can he do with Hongsheng?

Early morning.

A light rain fell in the sky of the capital, slightly relieving the unbearable heat of summer.

Wen Shuo sat at the small table in the fast food restaurant, eating the roasted cakes and meat, and a bowl of seaweed and egg soup with a few wontons and a little broken sea rice, with a comfortable and enjoyable look on his face. Before the store was at its busiest, Li Qin sat opposite her son, carefully looking at the white, chubby face, and never got tired of looking at it.

Wen Shuo, who noticed that something was wrong with his mother today, drank the last mouthful of soup, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and said in surprise: "Mom, what's the matter with you?"

"No, I don't. Li Qin said with a smile.

"Then what are you doing watching me all the time?" Wen Shuo looked down at himself, touched his face and head again, and said, "I don't have flowers on my body......"

Li Qinle was so happy that his eyes narrowed into a slit.

Zheng Yunhong, who was busy with his work, turned his head and smiled: "Silly boy, aren't you going to the city for a meeting today? In the afternoon, you will take a plane to Hanwei City, the provincial capital of Xiliangzhou, for a meeting...... Your mom is happy about that. ”

"Don't you have to be happy. Zhan Dong said humbly: "This is the capital, the municipal government of the capital, isn't that higher than the government of our province, how high is the level of the meeting organized? And that, what kind of archaeological expert seminar, yesterday Mr. Huang and your mother said, it is international-level, all the most powerful experts and professors are meeting together, hey, ordinary people can't go......

Although the summer vacation has been over, and many restaurants in the South Street business district have entered the off-season, the business of Shuoyuan fast food restaurants has not been affected, and it is not yet seven o'clock, and there are already two queues outside the store. The students in line and the nearby residents, who could hear the conversation of the people in the store, couldn't help but smile and talk a lot.

Wen Shuo waved his hand and said, "What a big deal, it's nothing." ”

"Shuo. Li Qin put away her smile and said seriously: "You and Qin Zhi went to a meeting this time, are you the two youngest?"

"I guess so. ”

"Then you have to remember, let's try to speak as little as possible, not to speak. Li Qin said seriously: "No matter how great your ability is, you must know that there are mountain people and outsiders outside the mountain, after all, you two are still young, and you can't show off your achievements." ”

"Mmmmmm, mom, you're right, I'll tell Qin Zhi a few more words in a while, try not to speak, and attend the meeting with the mentality of learning. ”

"Well, that's right. Li Qin nodded with satisfaction.

I was going to leave after eating, but I have always been so warm because I was busy during this time, so I didn't rush to leave to check out the Internet cafes today, but deliberately stayed and talked with my mother for a while—he realized that he hadn't chatted with his mother for a long time.

"When you're done eating, go get busy with you. Li Qin got up and was about to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Wen Shuo hurriedly helped clean up, and said without words: "Mom, I asked my cousin to find a storefront room a few days ago, and I haven't heard from him recently. I go to school and work every day, and he hides in the store for fear of being seen by me, what's the situation?"

"Alas. Li Qin sighed and said, "It's not that you're busy, besides, if you can't find a storefront, he's embarrassed to bother you." ”

Wen Shuo smiled: "He is also dead-eyed, he really relies on himself to run outside, it's strange that he can talk...... Go back and give him an idea, let him find more people to help, he can't find other people, and he is embarrassed to come to me, find Zhang Jian, right?"

"Well, don't talk about it......" Li Qin smiled: "I'll tell him secretly when I turn around." ”

"Shuo, are you really planning to open a third store?" asked Zheng Yunhong.

Wen Shuo responded: "If there is a suitable storefront, of course it must be opened, and it must be ...... as soon as possible All four stores are fine. ”

"That's a good feeling. Zheng Yunhong said beautifully.

Zhan Dong is just silly.

Now, the combined monthly income of the two of them has exceeded 18,000 yuan! This was unimaginable before. But after all, they suddenly got rich, and they panicked when they made money, and they were afraid that it was a dream, so they were both hopeful and worried about opening a branch again, what if they lost it?

But if it's Wen Shuo's decision, hey, Zhuncheng!

How much more money can I make with one more store?

To say the least, there must be 9,000 yuan a month!

More than a month ago, the business window of the fast food restaurant was hung up with the cash register and computer, and the electronic display board controlled by the software will display the remaining sales volume of each breakfast in real time, so that customers can check it at any time, and if they can't get it, they don't have to queue for a long time and finally can't buy it and waste time.

It wasn't until the limited sales volume was sold out that his mother, Zhan Dong, and Zheng Yunhong were idle and started to have breakfast, and Wen Shuo left the fast food restaurant.
