Volume 2 Cold Dew Chapter 51: Daily Schedule
Jiang You put a dish of soy sauce next to Tang Butian and said, "The white soup pot here is also delicious. Shall we try it next time?"
"good."
Jiang You ordered two plates of mutton fried rice. After the waiter brought them, he and Tang Butian said, "Shall we split one?"
"You still need to share? Order another plate." Ding Tianhua laughed at his pretense. "Are you full with half a plate?"
"I've been eating less lately."
Jiang You didn't bother the waiter. He went to the kitchen, got two bowls and came out.
As he was sharing the food, he said, "I met Mr. Xu at Jiumei Plaza a while ago. Several girls came to perform the opening dance, and he followed them in and out. It was not easy."
"He probably has some connections," Ding Tianhua as he ate mutton and fried rice. "He's pretty nice to the girls in the company. He'll take them out for dinner or something, but there's nothing else going on."
"I can see that."
After Jiang You finished a bowl of mutton fried rice, the waiter brought up mutton fried with garlic.
Jiang You ate a piece of garlic with chopsticks.
He thought about it for a moment, took the empty bowl and ran to the kitchen to get a bowl of white rice.
Ding Tianhua looked at him and smiled.
Jiang You picked up a piece of braised mutton from the pot. "This Cangshu Mutton Shop is quite interesting. In the summer, he rents the shop to a crayfish seller, and then comes back to sell mutton in the fall. I envy him."
"What are you envious of?" Ding Tianhua asked.
"It would be nice to be able to rest peacefully for two or three months and just daydream."
"I envy you," Ding Tianhua scooped a bowl of soup and put a few chopsticks of vermicelli into the bowl, "Are you free this afternoon?"
"I..." Jiang You glanced at Tang Butian, "It's not empty."
"Forget it. I was planning to ask you to go see some of the popular online stores that have become popular recently."
"Maybe next time."
"I'll go and see it myself. When you have time, I don't know how many generations of Internet celebrity stores have come out."
I had a very enjoyable lunch.
After eating, Ding Tianhua said goodbye to Jiang You and started his journey of sweeping the streets and shops.
Jiang You and Tang Butian walked slowly towards the insect house.
"What's going on today?"
"I came in the afternoon."
“Thank you for your consideration of the elderly’s daily routine.”
"Go to Laojin Mountain and dig out another statue."
"What are you going to do?"
"Find the statue and the altar in question." Tang Butian repeated briefly.
Jiang You stopped and looked at Tang Butian.
She changed into a dark gray sportswear today and tied her hair up, obviously she came prepared.
"Have you thought about the consequences?"
“Carrots are delicious eaten raw.”
"What about me?"
Tang Butian raised her head slightly, and their eyes met. "You showed me that statue on purpose."
Jiang You raised his eyebrows and denied it, "I didn't do it on purpose."
Tang Butian said, "Let's go."
They went back to the insect house first, and Jiang You took out the equipment he had brought with him from the last trip to Yinping Mountain, including a mountaineering bag, a mountaineering pole, and a flashlight. He opened the refrigerator and stuffed some of the drinks and food in the mountaineering bag before calling a taxi. More than an hour later, they arrived at Laojin Mountain.
The second day of the Luotian Grand Ceremony happened to be a Sunday, and the mountain was crowded with pilgrims and tourists.
Tang Butian and Jiang You mingled in the crowd. After they had looked at all nine altars, it was already evening.
Walking back to the Lingguan Temple, Tang Butian asked, " Which altar?"
Jiang You shook his head. "I can't tell. It's too complicated. Besides, I'm not familiar with Taoist things. You should still look for Taoist Qingyang."
"You said yes yesterday."
“There is always a gap between reality and imagination.”
"Where is the statue?"
"I can find this."
Jiang You took Tang Butian into the mountains.
It was dark in the woods, and Jiang You turned on the flashlight.
White light illuminates the way ahead.
"What are you going to do after finding the statue?" Jiang You asked.
"Let Taoist Qingyang come and take a look."
"Then what?"
"He'll check."
"What if he wants to suppress the matter? This is the first time that Baihe Temple is holding the Luotian Grand Ceremony, and he probably doesn't want any accidents to happen."
"He'll always check."
"You think clearly."
Tang Bu Tian nodded and said, "I've been thinking about it all night."
"Aren't you asleep?"
"Um."
“Young people can stay up all night.”
After walking further than yesterday and feeling that his legs were about to break, Jiang You saw a black fog similar to yesterday, floating out from the ground.
"I should have brought the spiritual power recorder out yesterday." He took Tang Butian to the target point and circled the area with a flashlight. "Let's dig. "
"I?"
"I dug yesterday. The soil here is a bit corrosive and my hands hurt."
Tang Butian held the wooden sword, and when she was about to thrust it downwards, Jiang You said, "Be gentle, don't break it all at once, dig it out, don't startle it..."
"oh."
Tang Butian squatted down and dug slowly with a wooden knife.
She was very efficient, and soon, a similar white statue appeared in their sight.
Tang Butian took out his cell phone, took a picture of the statue, and sent it to Taoist Qingyang.
A minute later, she received a call from Taoist Qingyang.
"Yes. I found it on the mountain. I'll send you the location. OK."
