Volume 4: Beginning of Spring Chapter 60 Conclusion
Playing chess slowly.
After the big dragon was killed in the middle game, Jiang You still played slowly until the end and finally admitted defeat.
Lost half a point.
Jiang You took a sip of tea and leaned back in his chair. "I like to keep things simple. Eating is eating, playing chess is playing chess, and I don't need to think about other things."
"It's difficult." said Sun Xiu.
“That’s right.”
"I asked directly," Sun Xiu looked at Jiang You's expression, "What should I do to make Zhuang Zekun compromise?"
"Lei Yao and the others have seeds planted by Him in their bodies." Jiang You sat up a little straighter. He reached out and put the chess pieces on the chessboard back into the chess pot one by one. "I am a little interested in this."
Sun Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "This is how Master Hu controls them."
"You didn't?"
Sun Xiu shook his head. "When I joined the Jinghu Society, I was already old. For people like me, Master Hu would give us a chance to enter the inner courtyard every time we pass a stage."
"Break through?" Jiang You grasped the key words.
"Yes, after passing, your cultivation level will increase greatly. If you fail..." Sun Xiu paused, "If you fail, you will need time to recover after coming out, and you will gradually become marginalized. After another year or two, you will die for various reasons. After I discovered this, I gradually slowed down the speed of my cultivation."
Sun Xiu stared at Jiang You's expression and said, "That's all I know. If you want to know more details, Shu Xing, who came with me this time, used to be in charge of Huang Juan's life. She has access to more things and more opportunities to meet Mr. Hu."
"What about Huang Juan? How much does she know?"
"I don't know," Sun Xiu smiled bitterly. "When Huang Hu came to Tangjiang, Master Hu suddenly asked me to go through the barrier. I was inside, and I thought about my past twenty or thirty years over and over again. The more I thought about it, the more I felt heartbroken. Maybe in their eyes, I was just a worker."
"I am also a laborer. I have not received a dime in several years. There is no place to seek justice."
"You told me last time that I was deceived and that those emotional transformations were useless. I want to know where the problem lies."
"Gods and demons are all fed with blood, so you can't cheat," Jiang You opened a drawer and took out a bag of chocolate balls. He tore open the bag and turned the opening to Sun Xiu, "Do you want to eat this?"
Sun Xiu reached out and pinched one.
Jiang You took the bag back and took a bite. Inside the chocolate ball was dried strawberries, sour and sweet. He said, "Chocolate made with cocoa butter substitutes is also delicious. I can't tell the difference."
Sun Xiu was silent.
After a while, he said, "I have to go back now. I'll leave it to you to take care of the rest."
After finishing speaking, Sun Xiu stood up.
Jiang You also stood up and said, "Okay, by the way, Sun Mo, ask him to go back. I'm about to open my business, and it's crowded."
"OK."
Jiang You sent Sun Xiu downstairs.
He ate a chocolate ball in one mouthful, watching Sun Xiu walk out of the yard and onto the street. Soon, the small bag of chocolate was finished. He crumpled the bag into a ball and threw it into the trash can. He looked at the time and it was still early, just half past ten. He checked the perpetual calendar and found that it was a good time to open the market today, so he decided to open the business today.
He found the small blackboard with the prices written on it, added the words "50% off on opening day" on the side with chalk, picked it up, walked to the gate and hung it up.
Even if it's open for business.
He turned around and saw Zhaocai basking in the sun by the flower bed. He took two quick steps to Zhaocai's side, bent down, picked it up, and then put it next to the door.
"The sun is shining here, you can stay here."
"Meow."
"A pretty lady will be coming over soon, remember to act cute, okay? I'll give you 10% of the commission and use it to make cat food for you."
After talking nonsense for a while, Jiang You returned to the store and sat down on a chair behind the counter.
Zhaocai shook his tail and made a circle.
After taking out his cell phone and reading the news for a while, Jiang You felt like something was missing.
So he said, "Xiaoya, I want to listen to some music."
Xiaoya: Okay, I’ll play it for you now…
The music started.
Jiang You reached out, peeled a candy and put it in his mouth.
It’s complete.
…
It is very useful to recruit talents.
Jiang You opened the shop before lunchtime and sold two postcards. He then happily ordered takeout and milk tea. After eating, he felt sleepy . When he was thinking about whether to close the shop and take a nap, a tall and thin man walked into the shop.
"Just look around, if you like it..." Before he could finish his words, Jiang You recognized the person who came, "Guan Nuo, it's you, don't you have class today?"
"I've been at home lately, learning some things."
"Right, sit down for a while," Jiang You stood up, " Do you see the sign outside? I'm opening today."
"Good luck on your opening," Guan Nuo said dryly, and after thinking for a moment, he added, "May your wealth and fortune flow in."
"Thank you for your good wishes," Jiang You sat down opposite Guan Nuo, "Would you like to take some postcards back with you?"
"Um, okay, that..."
" Just say what you want to say."
"I want to practice with you. My mother said that there is abundant spiritual energy here and there will be no interference..."
"How do you want to practice?" Jiang You asked.
"I can just sit down and meditate somewhere, but I can't be disturbed. I think last time, in the greenhouse..."
"If you had told me earlier, I would have opened the business a few days later. Now that the sign is up, it would not be good to close it later."
"Then I..."
"What day is today? Let me check." Jiang You glanced at his phone. "Friday. Yes, I think I have something to do today. How about this? I'm going to go out this afternoon. I'll close the gate. You can practice here and help me recruit talents. My son is sleeping upstairs. When he comes down later, you can help look after him."
"Okay, okay." Guan Nuo quickly agreed.
"Would you like something to drink?"
"Coke is ready."
"Wait a mininute."
Jiang You walked into the kitchen and quickly took out two cans of Coke. He placed one in front of Guan Nuo and said, "Just drink it."
"Brother Jiang, are you also preparing recently?"
"What are you preparing for?" Jiang You was a little confused.
"It's to meet them at Jinghu..."
"Didn't you know there would be a meeting on Sunday?" Jiang You asked Guan Nuo.
Guan Nuo nodded and said, "My mother told me."
"After the meeting, we discussed it and came to a conclusion. I will do whatever they assigned me to do," Jiang You unbuckled the ring and took a sip. "I have a congenital vision problem, and no one has given me any skills to practice and open a third eye. When I meet an enemy, I can emit some rays from it and destroy them all."
