Happy birthday
Shangguan Yi finally accepted the tears of the dark forest, if he didn't accept it, the expensive Qiankun gel pot would be a tool that could only be used to kill people. Although Shangguan Yi said he didn't believe it, but Jinli, who had been scared for a long time by people who didn't know which store, was very uneasy, and even took out the Qiankun condensation wine cream murder incident to try to persuade Shangguan Yi, although that incident was really terrifying, everyone in a village killed each other and died, but it was all a long time ago, even if this kind of thing happened in front of Shangguan Yi, it might not be able to scare him, let alone happened for a long time?
However, in order to reassure Jinli, Shangguan Yi still accepted it, and of course, there are no lack of reasons why he is not allowed to leave if he does not accept it.
After leaving the Fu family, Shangguan Yi quickly rushed back to his home, because he had not returned for so long, which would really worry them, after all, they had just done a monstrous case, which was very eye-catching.
"You can be regarded as back, have you gained anything?" Yu Jinghui was reading in the main room, and only spoke when he saw Shangguan Yi coming back, but he didn't raise his eyelids, obviously thinking that Shangguan Yi's breath had not changed, and nothing had happened.
Shangguan Yi sat down and poured himself a cup of tea, moistened his throat before he said with emotion: "Actually, the biggest gain is that there is no gain, but this is just the purpose of my going out, in fact, I met Jinli on the way, and I returned his personal favor by the way, but I didn't expect to be almost shot as a hedgehog, eh, the favor is not good." β
"What's wrong?" Yu Jinghui raised his head and looked at Shangguan Yi seriously, it seemed that the faint smell of blood he smelled was Shangguan Yi's own, and his clothes had been changed.
"It's nothing, but I didn't expect that Chi Yan guy would actually help Wusheng and Li Xin cook, is the sun coming out of the west today?" Shangguan Yi shook his head and didn't answer Yu Jinghui's question, it's not that he can't say it, but he still has to say it again after a while anyway, it's better to say it together and save some saliva.
"The sun hasn't come out today, isn't it? Chi Yan said that he had to prepare some dishes from his hometown to help, and judging by their appearance, it is estimated that it will take a while before the meal can be served. Yu Jinghui casually found a reason to prevaricate.
"Really, then I'll go to Wusheng first, there is something to do, and then I will be in trouble if I forget about it, after all, I am not the one who keeps that thing. Shangguan Yi stood up, as if he was going to the kitchen to find Wusheng.
"Wait!" Yu Jinghui's eyes suddenly sharpened.
"What are you doing, what are you doing?" Shangguan Yi's body couldn't help but tremble again, how could this guy be shocked, today he was scared by Jinli and had a little sequelae, and now Yu Jinghui is here again......
"Actually, it's nothing. Yu Jinghui shook his head, as if he was organizing the language, and he seemed to shout out loud because he suddenly thought of something.
"It's nothing you shouted so loudly to scare me, you know?" Shangguan Yi stroked his chest and said angrily.
"Tell me something, Wusheng said that no one should go to the kitchen to disturb them today before they are ready for dinner, otherwise the consequences will be serious. Yu Jinghui said this first, then put down the book and walked to Shangguan Yi's side and whispered: "It seems that Chi Yan said that the food made by Wusheng and Li Xin was not delicious, and also said that the two of them were not as good as his craftsmanship at all, which annoyed Wusheng, so they were fighting in it, if you squeeze in, you will probably become an unlucky person who will be affected." β
"Ah, I don't think Chi Yan is very satisfied when he usually eats? Besides, Wusheng and Li Xin's cooking level is obviously very good, or am I too easy to support?" Shangguan Yi subconsciously shrunk his neck and gave up this idea, how dare he get into such a situation, just like Yu Jinghui said, he will be a pond fish that will be affected, and this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened.
"What, in fact, everyone is easy to feed, but when they are picky, they will be careful, don't look at Chi Yan's appearance, in fact, ......" Yu Jinghui whispered Chi Yan's black material.
"But how can I listen to the silence in the kitchen, it's really ......" Shangguan Yi hadn't finished saying this sentence when he suddenly heard Wusheng and Chi Yan arguing about the sweet and salty question, which seemed to be quite intense and serious, so he had to stop his words and dispel his doubts.
"Look, it's just been quiet for a while and it's started again, really...... So what do you have to say to Wusheng?" Yu Jinghui spread his hands to express his helplessness, and then pulled the topic back.
"It's about the tears of this dark forest, in fact, this is ......" Shangguan Yi told Yu Jinghui the news he heard from Jinli today, except for not mentioning the birthday gift that Jinli gave him, the others were basically said.
"Tears of the Dark Forest, I know something about this gem, but I haven't heard of the effect you said, but it doesn't rule out the authenticity, because this gem is really mysterious and valuable, as far as I know, its value is about fifty thousand taels, as for how much Jinli Gongzi bought it, I can't guess how much. If it's just an ornamental gemstone, even if it's a bit of a legend, it will never reach such an outrageous price, so I think it's normal that it can do something else. Yu Jinghui took the box from Shangguan Yi and looked at this beautiful gem carefully.
"Fifty thousand taels......? It's really a bit outrageous, but what do you mean by the color of that legend?" Shangguan Yi was slightly speechless, just such a gem is worth 50,000 taels?
"You don't know, or maybe Jinli didn't tell you?" Yu Jinghui blinked.
"Well, since you said that, then I think he probably didn't tell me on purpose, what is it? Is it taboo?" Shangguan Yi touched his chin, if the person who sold Jinli the gem of Tears of the Dark Forest was really an expert, this kind of legend must be impossible not to tell Jinli, after all, this is a plus point, then Jinli didn't tell himself is a little intriguing.
"It's not a taboo to be taboo, it's a long story, I'll make a long story short, in fact, he didn't tell you because he was afraid that you would misunderstand, although the men were not very ...... But it is better to avoid this kind of thought, you should know that the famous gemstone has its own or the carver's meaning in it, the tears of the dark forest represent the light that can not be grasped, and later it was extended to the eternal love, the passing of the passing, although it does not look like a natural gemstone, but in fact it is really an uncarved thing, although I don't know how many it has, but the meaning of each one is the same. Yu Jinghui thought about it and said it in more appropriate words.
"Uh...... Can't hold the light? People who create momentum will really think, why don't you call it ungraspable time? But then again, how do you know such a cold knowledge, it's so boring. The corners of Shangguan Yi's mouth twitched, feeling that he had heard a cold joke.
"Boring? How can things related to life be said to be boring, haven't you ever heard of the Dark Forest?" Now it was Yu Jinghui's turn The corners of his mouth twitched, although Shangguan Yi couldn't see it. 120
"Dark Forest, is there really such a place, could it be that the tears of the Dark Forest are ......," Shangguan Yi instantly thought of this possibility.
"That's right, it's produced in the dark forest, no one can determine its location, only know that it is in the south of the continent, in the middle of the Zhen, the Western Desert and a large area near the intersection of Miaojiang, this is a place where you can't see the sun, if you see the light, either death is approaching, or you have escaped from life, but unfortunately nine out of ten people are the former, and those who successfully escape from the dark forest can get a lilac gem known as the tears of the dark forest, so even if almost no one in the world has a Qiankun gel pot, it can be sold for a price of 50,000 taelsγ Yu Jinghui said slowly, the story he told was even more attractive, even Shangguan Yi was attracted to it.
"Is that pure darkness? Isn't that scientific...... That's not quite right. Shangguan Yi swallowed slightly, he could feel Yu Jinghui's jealousy, that dark forest was definitely more terrifying than he described.
"It's really not right, and that's evident from this gem, or rather, this gem proves the rumors right. Yu Jinghui said, lit a candle, and then placed the gem next to it, and something strange happened, and it was obvious that the side of the gem was much darker than the surroundings that should have been the same brightness.
"What rumors?" Shangguan Yi's eyes were fixed on the gem, he seemed to underestimate it too much.
"There is no light in the dark forest, not even a torch can illuminate an inch more than itself, and in the dark forest, no matter what, people can only survive for seven days at most, and if they don't escape for seven days, they can't get out again. Yu Jinghui continued to tell Shangguan Yi the bizarre legends, and said that if he had the opportunity, he would like to go to the dark forest to adventure, with an attitude of death.
"Because the eternal darkness of the dark forest does not tolerate light, is it appropriate that the gem of its specialty means the light that cannot be grasped? Shangguan Yi touched his chin and nodded.
"No, it is said that the reason why people who come out alive can come out alive is because they have not been exposed to the true secrets of the Dark Forest, and those who died are the ones who entered the key area but did not find out the truth of the Dark Forest and lift the curse of the Dark Forest. Yu Jinghui seemed to be telling a ghost story, not only the content of the story was gloomy, but even the tone was very gloomy, and his audience Shangguan Yi was also very attentive and fascinated.
This also made Shangguan Yi frightened again when Wusheng's hand touched the back of his neck, and even screamed, so frightened that Chi Yan rushed out with a kitchen knife and asked what happened, and Qin Yuyan, who was staying in his room, also rushed out with a sword.
Wusheng, who made a fuss, touched the head of the frightened Shangguan Yi, as if he wanted to appease him, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, it's just rumors, it's time to eat." β
Shangguan Yi nodded reluctantly, watching them continue to serve food as if it was the New Year, he didn't know why, he was very concerned about the rumors of this dark forest, as if he foresaw that he would enter it in the future.
Wusheng finally put a bowl of noodles in front of Shangguan Yi, then stretched out his jade hand and shook it in front of Shangguan Yi, and after recalling his spirit, he said softly: "Open the rice." β
"Oooh. Shangguan Yi nodded indiscriminately, picked up the chopsticks and just wanted to eat but found that no one moved the chopsticks except him, and there was too much food on the table, and most of it was what he liked to eat.
"Happy birthday!" When Shangguan Yi was stunned, the rest of the people said this sentence in unison.
"Uh, thank you, is that why I wasn't allowed to enter the kitchen?" Shangguan Yi reacted suddenly, because he had lost track of time when he heard Yu Jinghui talk about the Dark Forest.
"yes, but I'm kind, and I'm telling the truth. Yu Jinghui shrugged, how could he go to the main house to read a book if he had nothing to do? In order to stop Shangguan Yi, he didn't expect it to be so easy.
"Okay, okay, let's eat noodles first, this is the most authentic longevity noodles, Chi Yan and I can't make them, only Ah Xin will, there is only one noodles, you don't want to eat it without breaking it." Wusheng hurriedly changed the topic, afraid that today's birthday star would be angry.
"Fu Changan told you again? That talkative woman. Shangguan Yi raised his forehead slightly, and looked at the big bowl of noodles in front of him with a little headache, I know Li Xin, you are very powerful, but there is no need to do this, right?
"Yes, but I remember what you said, and I will tell Sister Chang'an that you scolded her for being a long-tongued woman. "It's like a little devil.
"You, be merciful, obviously I am the protagonist tonight, shouldn't you be kind to me?" Shangguan Yi had an even more headache, in case Fu Changan pursued this matter in the future, he was really speechless.
"Then you're done, and then we'll have a formal dinner." Wusheng blinked, as if waiting to see Shangguan Yi's foreign appearance.
"Hmph, just eat. Shangguan Yi said, picked up the noodles with chopsticks and put them in his mouth and began to eat, relying on the kung fu of holding his breath to really achieve the feat of eating a bowl of longevity noodles in one go.
Then, the birthday dinner officially began, although I don't know how they did it, but the seasonal fruits and some ingredients that are abundant in Lidu are almost everything, although the way of processing and making is not necessarily the best, but it is still very urgent to complete these in less than a day, it is enough to see their intentions, this is the most important thing, even if occasionally some dishes are not very appetizing, but it does not affect anything. Wusheng also made an exception to relax the restrictions on their drinking, although she knew that this would make Shangguan Yi very miserable, but it should be a little revenge for him to leave her to Fu Chang'an to take care of before.
The situation of the banquet was also as Shangguan Yi expected, he was basically the target of being besieged and persuaded by other people, he didn't eat much food, and he was already dizzy, so he could only run to the roof by urinating and blowing the cold wind to wake up and sober up.
"You're drunk. A familiar voice sounded in his ears, but he couldn't see the face of the person in front of him or remember whose voice it was.
"Happy birthday, this is my gift to you. She chuckled, put the things in her hand in Shangguan Yi's arms and left, as if she had never been there.
