Volume 4: Beginning of Spring Chapter 43: Mentality
The Waking of Insects is coming soon.
Jiang You woke up from a nap and walked downstairs while rubbing his neck.
There seemed to be someone standing at the gate of the courtyard.
He pushed up his glasses.
The girl in the water-red dress stood sideways, holding a wooden sword in her hand, with her head slightly tilted up. Opposite her stood a man in a sunflower puppet costume, holding a billboard with the words "Big Gift for Opening" written on it.
Jiang You took a few quick steps forward, "You're here, have you had lunch?"
"have eaten."
Jiang You turned around and looked at the Sunflower Man. He said, "You can go back. I have nothing to do here. I want to have three meat buns from Lu Ji tomorrow morning, and two siu mai."
Tang Butian saw the Sunflower Man nodded, then walked out.
"Come and look at my flower." After closing the door to the yard, Jiang You called Tang Butian to go inside.
Tang Butian followed.
More than half of the flowers are in bloom.
"Look at these purple flowers, they are so pretty in bunches, what is it called?"
"Fragrant tea."
"It sounds nice. Go sit in the greenhouse for a while. I bought a small bed a few days ago and put it in there," Jiang You said as he walked into the insect house. "Sit there and see if you feel comfortable."
Tang Butian watched Jiang You walk into the insect house.
She lowered her head, reached out, picked a tea lily flower, then turned and walked into the greenhouse.
The greenhouse has been renovated.
The succulents in the two rows of bamboo flower pots were growing well, plump, beautiful and juicy. The Arhat bed was placed in front. Several jade leaves hung down from the edge of the bamboo tubes and fell on the bed.
There are gray-green cushions on the bed, two pillows of the same color and a small table.
In front of and on both sides of the Luohan bed, there are flower pots of different heights, and the flowers in the pots are growing very well.
Tang Butian sat down leaning against the pillow.
The seat cushion is moderately soft and hard.
Not long after, Jiang You came in carrying a small tea tray with tea sets and a plate of small square cakes on it.
He placed the tea tray on the small table and sat down on the other side.
Wash the tea, add water, and wash the cup.
In less than a minute, Jiang You placed a cup of tea in front of Tang Butian and said, "Try it."
Dark amber tea.
Tang Butian picked up the cup, took a sip, and it tasted sweet.
She said, “It’s good.”
Jiang You also took a sip of tea. "When I woke up this morning, I heard a few thunders and thought it was going to rain, but I didn't expect the sun to be so bright now. Have you started school yet?"
"Jinghu Society wants to use Huang Juan to kill Zhuang Zekun." Tang Butian said.
"Is it?"
Tang Butian turned around, and Jiang You picked up a small square cake and put it into his mouth, "What did Su Wangshu and the others tell you?"
"Yes, I agree. Guan Qingtong has already calculated the approximate location. Zhong Yan will bring six people down the mountain to ambush."
"What a gorgeous lineup," Jiang You commented.
"Will you take action?"
"I plan to open my business the day after tomorrow, and I want a recruiter to stay for a few days to help me attract customers."
"Whatever you want."
After finishing the small square cake, Jiang You took another sip of tea and asked, "How is Huang Juan doing recently?"
"Do you have a different opinion?" Tang Butian asked.
The wind blew.
The branches are swaying.
Jiang You yawned, "It's a rare opportunity to take a break, so let's talk about the romantic life instead of work."
The gentle sunlight shines through the glass wall onto the bed.
Jiang You's face was half illuminated and half in shadow.
"What do you want to talk about?" Tang Butian asked.
"For example, let's talk about the mountain. Last time you said that a lot of demons were suppressed on the mountain, right? When will you take me to your mountain to take a walk and get some fresh air?"
Tang Butian saw Jiang Mo walk out of the store. He was wearing yellow Pikachu-shaped pajamas and walking unsteadily like a tumbler.
Jiang Mo glanced towards the greenhouse.
After their eyes met for a moment, Jiang Mo turned around, walked to the swing and sat down.
The swing started swinging automatically.
"How about we talk about you? When were you in the mountain?" Jiang You changed the question.
"As far as I can remember, I was already on the mountain." This time Tang Butian answered Jiang You.
"What do you usually do?"
"Practice. When the master is around, practice with the master. When the master is gone, practice on your own."
"You have a master? "
"right."
"Gone?"
"Dead."
Jiang You looked at Tang Butian's expression and asked, "How did he die?"
"Killed in battle."
"You don't look too sad?"
"I inherited her swordsmanship, and I will continue on this path and go further than she did."
Jiang You made tea again.
Tang Butian took the teacup in her hand and stared at the tea in it. "It's your turn."
"What?"
“When did you become the head of a charity?”
“I can’t remember.”
Tang Butian turned to look at him.
"I really can't remember clearly. Let me tell you what I remember clearly." Jiang You adjusted his sitting position. "I was originally a civil servant."
"Civil servant?"
"Yes, I got in through the exam. It was quite difficult to pass, only one in ten thousand got in."
"What kind of work?"
"I was a bit busy in the first year, organizing materials and so on, but it became easier once I got used to the process. I would make a cup of tea at work, read some news and gossip, and then it would be almost time for lunch. After lunch, I would take a nap, get up, do what I needed to do, and then take a break and have afternoon tea. Then it would be time to get off work. I plan to do this until I retire, and then I can rest in peace after fighting the three highs," Jiang You smiled, "I also have a younger brother, he is very outstanding, so my family doesn't expect much from me."
"And then?"
"Things change all the time. I have more or less fulfilled my dream now," Jiang You looked at Jiang Mo sitting on the swing, "Zhuang Zekun is not weak, but its power will be greatly reduced if the goddess descends."
"Did I make a mistake?"
"Su Wangshu and the others don't know what happened in Xueshan Lake Resort, but it's impossible that Master Hu of Jinghu Society doesn't know," Jiang You took a small square cake and put it in his mouth. He chewed and said, "He just can't sure who it is."
"Jinghu will be looking for you?" Tang Butian grasped the key point.
"Not necessarily. He might also think that it was the people on the mountain who did it."
"Huang Juan deliberately led us to..."
"That's not necessarily the case. She's just a pawn."
Jiang Mo picked a Jiarong flower from the flower bed, walked to the pond, tore off the petals one by one and threw them into the water.
Jiang You stood up and walked a few steps in the greenhouse. "I think this time he came here to leave a way out. Hu Yuefeng wants to figure out the situation. Is Liu Lin really Zhuang Zekun? What is the attitude of the mountain? Is there any other force intervening? He is willing to pay a price for this. His mentality is better than mine. I tend to avoid it."
Tang Butian looked up at Jiang You.
"I'll go talk to Huang Juan tomorrow and bring her back with me."
