Chapter 219: Two Fang Families
"Break the ice into fine ice crystals and eat it...... It's also a way to improve the taste. The old lady scooped up a spoonful of shaved ice and put it in her mouth, "But it's just ice after all, and it's so luxuriously packaged that it can't change the essence of ice-"
Needless to say, the mellow sweetness of the salty smell crushed the sweltering heat of the tree house like a whirlwind, and he seemed to hear the sound of the waves crashing against the reef.
Fang Jiuzhang felt his beard tremble!
There is no doubt that the golden liquid is honey.
For this dense forest, honey is an occasional dessert, and considering that there are nearly 100 people up and down the Fang family, it is obviously more cost-effective to use in pastries. This luxurious way of eating with a mouthful of ice and a mouthful of honey is rare even for the head of the Fang family.
But if it's just honey, it obviously can't achieve this effect.
The delicate saltiness is the key!
The green powder exudes a faint tea aroma, which is just right to neutralize the dividing line between salty and sweet.
"What's in that white bottle?" Fang Jiuzhang said curiously.
It was written on the paper that it was the essence of salt accumulated over 2,000 years, commonly known as Jinxia refined salt, and it was also their specialty. Fang Yanni replied.
"This thing must be expensive. Fang Xiandao that kid...... I have a heart. The old lady showed a relieved expression, "What about the green one?"
"It is a powder made by drying and grinding selected young green tea leaves, and the tea leaves come from the royal tribute. β
Fang Jiuzhang suddenly felt that compared to the origin of these things, the crystal bottle and the box filled with fluff were not so excessive.
Rather, this gift reflects the heart and luxury everywhere from the design to the packaging.
Soon, a bowl of shaved ice was eaten cleanly.
The old lady who was still unsatisfied decided to let the eldest disciple make another one - anyway, Yu Niang didn't know how much the gift was at the beginning, and it didn't hurt him to eat more.
Fang Yanni naturally responded.
She asked as she shaved the ice with a spatula, "Old lady, what did you just say......?" What does it mean that the owners of the living dead have evil intentions, and why would they be worse than dead?"
"Hey, this is what happened in the previous generation, and it's normal for you not to know it. Fang Jiuzhang was silent for a long time, and finally spoke, "That's it, you are the chief disciple, sooner or later you will take over the position of the head of this family, I will tell you." β
"Old lady, I-"
"You don't have to shirk it, this is the mission of the left-behind disciples. He stretched out his hand to interrupt the other man's words, "You should know what the command on the head of the living dead does, right?"
The eldest disciple lowered his head, "Maintain the mind and strengthen the memory." If damaged or extracted, the living dead will lose most of their memories. β
"Not bad. Fang Jiuzhang said, "And one of the great characteristics of the living dead, or the reason why they are called the living dead, is that they recover quickly in a state without consciousness, as long as they don't die on the spot, they can basically recover after a month or two." β
"In the past, when the living dead were mortally wounded and dying in battle, one way to save their lives was to break the Command Charm and put them into a deep sleep. β
"The disciple knows this method. β
"Well, after all, this is the only way to save your life when you encounter a last resort. Fang Jiuzhang sighed, "But some people deliberately take advantage of this characteristic and treat the living dead as a vessel to satisfy their selfish desires. They take pleasure in torturing and inflicting pain, removing spiritual runes when the living dead cannot bear the imminent death, and the cycle repeats. β
Fang Yanni's eyes couldn't help but widen, "How could it be ......?"
Although these people are called the living dead, they are all loyal and reliable combat partners in her eyes, and they are no different from ordinary people on weekdays, and they also need to eat and drink, and they also know how to be angry. How could the Fang family use their partner as such a tool for fun?
"It's not a priest. Fang Jiuzhang said bluntly, "The one who did this kind of thing was the people outside the mountain collar...... It was done by the Fang family. β
Fang Yanni shuddered, and almost dropped the scraper in her hand to the ground.
"They...... Why ......"
"Why do you do that? No one knows why, or even how long it lasted. After all, as a family, there have been a lot of living dead people in the past few decades, and when the previous head of the family found out about this, he brought them back to Shuquan Mansion with injuries. Since then, the head of the family ostensibly said that he wanted to raise the threshold for lending, but in fact he never gave away a living dead person. The old lady shrugged, "So no matter what is in those books, it is impossible for Yu Niang and I to agree to each other's requests." β
"There's such a thing. Fang Yanni suddenly thought of something, "Could it be that they sent the goat milk late for a long time this time, and it is also related to this matter?"
"That's not it, the living dead are just one of the countless contradictions between the Fang family outside the mountain and the magic Fang family. Fang Jiuzhang waved his hand, "Hey, why are you talking about such a heavy matter, there will be a long time in the future, and it is not too late for you to understand it slowly." Is the new shaved ice ready?I'll eat it quickly, so that Yu Niang won't notice the quantity problem-"
"Huh, don't notice anything?"
As the familiar voice sounded under the treehouse, this time it was Fang Jiuzhang's turn to tremble.
Fang Yu, the other head of the Fang family, the old lady in the mouth of the disciples, climbed the tree house with great dexterity.
Fang Jiuzhang immediately changed his words, "Oh, you're just in time! Fang Xiandao that kid sent us a gift, I'm trying it! I guessed that you were coming back soon, so I prepared a bowl for you in advance!"
"Guessed?" Fang Yu sneered, "Have you forgotten that you don't know anything about hexagrams, and you're proficient in Zeshu instead of Kanshu?"
"This ...... Can't I just guess intuitively?"
"Intuition works, and you have to calculate what to do. Fang Yu didn't bother to bother with him, "But your reaction like this means that you haven't caused me any actual damage." Put aside what you eat, where is Fang Xiandao's letter?"
"Old lady, his letter is here. Fang Yanni hurriedly handed over the letter.
"Hmm......" Fang Yu sat down on the spot and began to flip through the letter - she read the letter very quickly, and it took more than ten breaths to turn to the end, "Yes, it seems that he is doing well in Jinxia City." β
"That is, I can afford to give such a luxurious gift, I'm afraid my pocket is a lot bulging than when I go out. Fang Jiuzhang agreed, "As for what he said about the living dead, what do you think? That kid thinks that you can only make judgments, but in fact he doesn't know anything about the past at all, I think it's better for you to write back and refuseββ"
"Let a thousand words pass. The old lady folded the letter.
"Poof-" The old lady squirted out a mouthful of saliva in a hurry, "Yu Niang, what are you talking about?"
"I said, let a thousand words pass. Fang Yu repeated again, "But the living dead need to be accompanied by Fang Shi, since that's the case......" She looked at the senior disciple of the Fang family, "Yan Ni, you can also go to Jinxia." β
"Me?" Fang Yanni suddenly felt her chest thump.
