The two of us took turns and it took almost a whole day to peel off the core of the maple. After the bark is peeled off, some of the lumps do take a lot of effort. However, looking at the texture, there is a subtle sense of disobedience, and the final core part of the tree is 70 centimeters long and the thickness of the cup. After taking it out, the remaining part of the texture is vertical, which is very different from the dendrel desktop I have seen before.

But I didn't think about it that much, so I packed it properly and took it out. It wasn't until I arrived at the train station and was stopped by the security check that I realized that this was really strange.

"There's metal, you can't bring it."

I took this thickened version of the rolling pin and shouted at people around my neck for a long time, obviously it was complete, and I didn't even have a seam to open it.

As a result, the security officer put it in a lead curtain and asked me to look at the screen by myself.

The light silhouette was pierced by a bright strip more than an inch wide, and I was dumbfounded.

Duo Xiao was still outside to buy a platform ticket, and I rushed over and pulled him aside.

"There's metal here, didn't you already know that?"

"Hey, hey," he calmly brushed my hand away, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that there are a lot of people now, Brother Zhangzi might as well be louder, try to see if you can go back to Beijing?" ”

I was immediately deflated, but I still hated it.

He sighed and wrapped his arms around me, and moved the maple into his arms: "In this way, if you give him to me, I will take advantage of you." ”

I couldn't have a better choice when it came to this. To be honest, I didn't know what to do with this thing when I brought it back, so I had to treat it as a tuition fee, and it was not in vain that he took me for a few days.

"Okay." I broke away from his hand and flipped my backpack: "Bye-bye." ”

He stopped me quietly: "I kind of like you, little one, don't die." With that, he pushed me towards the entrance of the station, waved at me exaggeratedly, and smiled like a morning glory in the sunset.

When I returned to Beijing, I didn't go straight to the store, but went home first. The old man recently raised a new tank of parrot fish, and is wearing glasses to search for fish farming strategies. When he saw me, he snorted and said hello.

I was still quite afraid of him, and I stepped forward and put a large envelope in his hand.

"This is 50,000 yuan, I earned it myself, and I keep it for you."

He lowered his head and stared at me through the upper edge of the glasses: "You didn't do anything hurtful, did you?" ”

Look, you can't say that I speak badly, it's genetic. I wanted to brag to him about my experience, but I don't dare to say it.

After staying at home for a long time, I called my mother the next morning, and learned that he had actually moved to the Shen family, and asked me to go with me.

My family is in Changping, but there is still a very long distance from the Shen family. So I got a good car recently, and I gave him the address of my home and asked him to pick me up.

When he arrived, my dad came back from a walk, and I thought the old man would have to interrogate him, but he looked at his mother and smiled. The mother is full of spring breeze, polite, decent and sweet-mouthed. The old man has to regret how he gave birth to someone like me, I shouldn't be in the car, I should be under the car.

On the way to Shen's house, I actually had a stomach problem, but I was afraid that he would reprimand me to find the wrong team when I opened my mouth, so I couldn't bear it.

He looked at me strangely: "Dumb? ”

"No, it's just a little tired. How did you get to Shen's house? ”

"I helped Miss Sheng pull a line, and she bought our store in order to thank her."

"Also...... Including me? ”

The lady glanced at me and said funny: "In addition to the roller shutter door in the store, you are still worth a little money." Besides, I don't want you, who wants you? ”

A complex emotion wrapped around my heart, I can't say whether I am happy or panicked, I can only turn my head to look out the window at the mountain road silently calm.

"Mother."

"Huh?"

"I've seen a lot of things that I shouldn't have seen this time, do I want to live like this in the future?"

He was silent for a while, and said lightly: "Are you scared?" ”

"yes." I don't want to be reckless in front of my mother, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I can't do well, and I'm afraid of the unfathomable Sheng girl.

"I've been thinking about it for the past few days, my skills are so bad that I don't even meet the standards of an ordinary traveler. I know more and more, but I don't know how to deal with it, and I don't have a brain like yours. A lot of things aren't as simple as they seem to me, how do I do that? ”

Niangniang didn't seem to care, just smiled and said in a rambling voice: "Master led the door to practice in person, and slowly groped by himself, isn't this how they all come?" ”

At this moment, I would love to hear him say that he would help me, even if it was a simple sentence Don't be afraid. But no, he was so immersed in the pleasure of driving that he didn't notice my struggles.

I don't want to say anything more, maybe he's right, experience is accumulated from mistakes. Many people say that those who do our business do not have a master who can teach them by hand. Craftsmanship and skills are stolen little by little, and what is stolen is remembered more firmly. The man's comfort is not followed by help, it is more like perfunctory, it is better not to say, the mother is not wrong.

The car drove to the side door of Shen's house, and two men in black stopped me and searched me from top to bottom.

Looking at Niangniang for help, he told me not to make a fuss, saying that this is a normal process.

I saw them holding something similar to a POS machine in their hands, putting their ID cards in front of the camera to scan.

"Ding!" With a bang, my identity was entered into the machine.

"Thank you for your cooperation," a man in black handed me back his ID card, gestured to the door, and finally agreed to let us in.

Led by the man in black, we walked along the carved corridor to the depths of the courtyard. This time it's broad daylight, and it's not as eerie as last time, but a bit like a Jiangnan garden. A meandering water meanders through, and the corridor makes an arch on the momentum, standing at the highest point, on the left bank are several independent courtyards surrounded by red walls, and trees and plants are skillfully interspersed among them; The water pavilion on the right side is facing the shore, and the surrounding verdant trees obscure the distant scene.

This house is elegant and magnificent, but it is a bit dense, and there is almost no open space along the way, but there are roofs on the road. I couldn't breathe, and of course it was probably because of my nervousness.

After going down the bridge, there is a moon cave gate behind the dense bamboo forest, and the parapet wall encloses a small courtyard, and there is only a big house on the north side. The walls are crawling with unknown plants, dark green leaves with orange-red flowers, and there is a persimmon tree in the courtyard whose fruit has turned yellow. Under the tree are stone tables, stone benches, and a deck chair.

The mountains behind are brilliant in autumn, and the faint smell of fruit wafts through the air. Birds chirping in the distance, making it even more quiet.

My eyes straightened, which made the mother laugh, and he stepped forward and pushed the door open: "This is your residence, go and see." ”
