Volume 2 Cold Dew Extra: Tang Butian's Enlightenment at the Foot of the Mountain
Tang Butian stood by the window of the Special Operations Department's office.
The wound in his abdomen had opened again.
At three o'clock in the morning, a few street lights were lit alone.
With a creak, the door was pushed open. Tang Butian turned around and Sun Yu walked in.
He took out a can of herbal tea from under his desk, opened it and drank half of it in one gulp. Then he reported to Tang Butian: "Xu Jiaqi went back."
"knew."
Sun Yu's expression was somewhat gossipy. "At the scene, when I took Xu Jiaqi to the car, I seemed to see a huge pink Lego unicorn flying in the sky. Is that a magic weapon?"
Tang Butian hesitated for a moment.
"I remember when Jiang You came to register, he said he liked blingbling."
"I also like the ones that grow bigger in the wind." Tang Butian added.
"Is it really a magic weapon?" Sun Yu began to doubt his own judgment.
"Yes." Tang Butian gave an affirmative answer.
Sun Yu took a sip of herbal tea and said, "When it's daybreak, I'll find time to go out and buy a toy, a car or something. Jiang Mo has been tossed around like this all night, I wonder if he's scared. Jiang You is really careless. If I were him, I would never dare to take the child..."
Knock knock.
There were two knocks on the door.
Sun-woo put down the can of cold tea and said, "Come in."
Taoist Qingyang walked in. He nodded to Sun Yu as a greeting, and then walked towards Tang Butian.
Tang Butian looked at Taoist Qingyang.
Taoist Qingyang said: "A few hours ago, I felt a huge spiritual power fluctuation in the southeast of Tangjiang City."
"I was there."
"We're all guessing what happened, now it's ..."
"It's been handled." Tang Butian said briefly.
Taoist Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief. He saw Tang Butian's hand on his abdomen. He asked, "Are you hurt?"
"Um."
"Is it serious?"
Tang Butian thought for a moment and said, "Not bad."
Taoist Qingyang turned his head and glanced at Sun Yu.
Sun Yu understood and said, "I'll go see what's going on in the interrogation room."
After saying this, he walked out of the office.
After hearing the door closing sound, Tang Butian said, "He is a member of the Special Operations Group."
Taoist Qingyang was a little puzzled.
"No need to avoid him."
"Xiao Tang, I was wrong about the statue last time. I admit my mistake," Taoist Qingyang lowered his posture. "At first, I just wanted to avoid affecting the Luotian Grand Ceremony. After the ceremony, I realized that the scope of this matter was far beyond my imagination. Only the Special Operations Department has the position and resources to get to the bottom of this matter."
Tang Butian thought about what Jiang You had said to her.
His nonsense was all right.
Taoist Qingyang looked at Tang Butian's expression and asked tentatively, "Besides you, are there any other people participating in the operation tonight?"
"Kang You, Sun Woo."
"Just these two?"
"I don't need to report to you."
“No, no, no, that’s not what I meant,” Taoist Qingyang quickly explained, “I thought it was someone else from the Special Operations Department who was experiencing this kind of spiritual power fluctuation…” He glanced at Tang Butian and asked, “Have you made another breakthrough?”
“Soon.”
Taoist Qingyang fell into deep thought.
Tang Butian walked around him, went to a desk, pulled out a chair and sat down facing the window.
"I've already talked to Master Zhong about the resources we talked about last time," Taoist Qingyang chose his words carefully, "You can continue to make breakthroughs at the foot of the mountain, so it's only right that you should be given extra resources."
Tang Butian looked up at Taoist Qingyang.
"I heard that you had someone send you something from the mountain?"
"Soil. Flower seeds."
"What do you want this for?" asked Taoist Qingyang.
"Jiang Mo's birthday is coming up," Tang Butian said, his expression a little more relaxed, "Jiang You has a yard, it will look nice if you plant some flowers there."
"You're too close to him."
"He is a member of the special operations team." Tang Butian's expression suddenly became serious.
Taoist Qingyang's face turned a little ugly. He took two steps forward, then stopped again. Finally, he said, "Xiao Tang, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"goodbye."
After Taoist Qingyang left, Tang Butian raised her legs and placed them on the desk.
The sky gradually brightened.
She began to think about many things.
After the last quarrel with Taoist Qingyang, she thought that Taoist Qingyang would never contact her again, and might even speak ill of her in front of several leaders, making them disappointed in her and give up on her.
He came here on his own initiative.
He was very humble and took the initiative to say that he would fight for resources for her.
He used to be very kind to her, even willing to help her, but...
She wasn't the first.
They came to comfort her and she saw sympathy in their eyes.
Sympathy? Why?
If they thought she should be ranked first, why didn't they stand by her when she questioned the officials?
If they agreed with this result, why would they come to comfort her?
It should have been hers.
She once believed that as long as she kept going on the path of sword cultivation with determination, she would reach places that no one had ever reached before, and then leave a signpost for her descendants.
What should I do if there are no resources and no suitable place to practice at the foot of the mountain?
She suddenly thought of Jiang You.
At this time, he should be sleeping.
In another eight or nine hours, it will be Jiang Mo’s birthday party.
There will be cake and eat.
She thought of the swing in the yard, the three pomegranate trees behind the swing, the pond, and the camphor tree that was still a sapling.
She thought of Liang Hao's parents, Rouwan Wanzi, Yang Xuan, Lang Xing, Liu Boyang...
Xia Xia.
Senior Xia Xia.
People living at the foot of the mountain are also working hard to live.
Even harder than her.
You will encounter many difficulties, some of which can be overcome through hard work, while others will be useless no matter how hard you try.
Living and survival itself takes up too much time and energy.
Will take shortcuts, will take the wrong path, will...
She was in the mountains, and all she had to do was concentrate on her cultivation and not think about anything else.
Is it a great thing to be able to practice?
After coming down the mountain, many things became different.
The milk tea is delicious.
The coffee and various smoothies are delicious.
The egg-filled pancakes are delicious, the cold noodles are also delicious, but they need to be a little spicy, the corn keel soup is sweet and delicious, the pork tripe soup has a strong pepper taste, but it is also delicious, the grouper hotpot is good, the fish is very tender, the beef hotpot is even better, vegetables are suitable for clear soup pots, potatoes absorb oil very well, and meat will melt if cooked for too long, shrimp and cuttlefish are both good, a bowl of iced mung bean soup in summer, barbecue in winter, beef tongue is very tender and not fishy at all, roasted pork belly is also good, a bowl of mutton noodles is also good...
She felt a little hungry.
The door of the Special Operations Department was pushed open again, and Sun Yu leaned halfway in. He said, "Chief, they are all eating instant noodles. Would you like a bowl?"
Day dawned and the street lights dimmed.
She said, “Yes.”
