Volume 5: Qingming Chapter 57: Amusement

Tang Butian looked at Jiang You's hand.

Jiang You took his hand back awkwardly, "Raise it, it's fun to fatten it up."

Tang Butian began to glare at him.

Jiang You lowered his head and drank a sip of soy milk. He said, "I'm a little worried."

"What are you worried about?"

"I've been out for a few days. It's been sunny in Tangjiang these days. No one waters the flowers and plants in my yard. Will they be damaged by the sun? It's almost the rainy season, so I have to take advantage of the good weather to dry the quilts and pillows. The pond should also be cleaned out," Jiang You listed them one by one slowly. "There are two pots of succulents in the greenhouse. They are growing very well. I 've been thinking about changing them to bigger pots. And my pomegranate tree is about to bloom. When I came out, I could already see the flower buds. It will be very beautiful when it blooms."

Tang Butian listened to his words, tilted her head slightly and looked out the window.

It's a sunny day.

The clouds move with the wind and birds fly across the blue sky.

She said, “I want to go back to the mountains.”

"How long?"

"Three to five days, maybe a week."

"That's perfect. When you come back, the pomegranate flowers will be in bloom. You can come and enjoy the flowers. Come in the evening when it's not too hot and there's a breeze. Have some iced green bean soup or something, and some snacks."

"good."

"Fortunately you came this time."

"Why?"

"If it were someone else, like Zhuang Zekun, he might have believed what Qiaoqiao said. Since your uncle mentioned it to Jin Cheng, Zhuang Zekun helped him seal the place where the incident happened ten years ago, so he probably knows about it. Maybe he was used by Qiaoqiao. I don't know what will happen."

"Master, he trusts others too easily."

"He's a good man," Jiang You paused, his voice was light but cautious, "You helped him keep the thing that he valued most in his life."

Tang Butian turned to look at Jiang You, "What do you mean?"

"Just think about it. If the door is opened and those strange things come in and cause trouble, not to mention how much damage they will cause, when it comes time to settle the accounts afterwards, the dead will always have to bear more responsibility, right?"

Tang Butian pursed her lips.

"Now you have completely destroyed the gate. Besides some fallen trees and rocks, tourists are not allowed to go up the mountain these days. We will lose some ticket money and suffer economic losses." Jiang You took out two pieces of paper and handed them to Tang Butian, then took the plastic bag containing the egg pancakes from her hand and threw it into the trash can. "Old Chang had a good relationship with your uncle-master. He was the one who handled all these affairs after his death. Since nothing happened, there is no need to be serious about it. Your uncle-master was a hero. He died in a battle with demons. He died heroically. He has a good reputation both before and after his death."

"It's fake."

"I admire him very much."

"Really?"

"He really means it. He likes to be recognized by others, so he tries his best to help others. He really has helped many people." Jiang You grabbed Tang Butian's hand and looked at it from front to back. "A gentleman is judged by deeds, not by heart. He signed a contract with 'being a good person' and spent his whole life practicing this contract. In my opinion, this is a very noble thing, not just an empty reputation."

"Thank you."

Jiang You put down Tang Butian's hand and said, "According to superhero movies, you saved the world. Do you feel very powerful?"

"No."

"Really?"

Tang Butian turned her head away and said, "No."

"Did you just smile?"

"No."

"I'm going back to Tangjiang tomorrow, do you want to come with me?"

"The haunting incident on Yang Xuan's set has not been dealt with yet."

Jiang You said with a bitter face: "Let Chu Cheng handle it himself..."

Boom boom boom.

There was a knock on the door.

Then, a male voice came from behind the door, "It's me, Zhuang Zekun, can I come in?"

Tang Butian nodded slightly.

Jiang You said, "Come in." After that, he stood up and sat back on the sofa chair by the window.

Zhuang Zekun opened the door and came in, followed by Guan Nuo and Zhong Yan. He walked to Tang Butian's bed and said, "I heard from Li Zhang that I was late." His eyes fell on the wooden sword on the bedside table. "I went to see the crack when I arrived today. It has completely disappeared. This wooden sword..."

"Want to fight once?"

Zhuang Zekun laughed, "When you see me, do you have nothing else to say except fighting?"

"No."

"How do you feel?" Guan Nuo walked to the other side of the bed and asked, "Are you hurt?"

Jiang You answered Guan Nuo on behalf of Tang Butian, "He was in a coma for a day and a night."

"Is it better now?"

"It took us a long time just to find the place this time. It was dark and the mountain road was difficult to walk on..."

Guan Nuo turned around and looked at Jiang You.

"I thought at the time, it would be great if you were here. It would save a lot of trouble if you could calculate the direction."

"I don't know. I'm in Yanjing..."

"Finally I was lucky enough to find the place by accident, and I was also injured."

"Where's the injury?"

Jiang You pointed at a few places on his waist and stomach with his fingers , "They are all scratches. His ankle is also twisted. He twisted it last time at Laojin Mountain, and it never fully healed. He twisted it again this time. I think we need to take an X-ray when we get back. Don't tell me it's a sprained ligament. That would be troublesome."

"We need to pay attention to the ligaments." Guan Nuo echoed for the sake of conversation.

"Yeah, Xiao Nuo, look at our special forces. Forget about recruiting talents. Now the only ones without injuries are you and Sun Yu, right?"

"Yes."

Jiang You pushed his glasses and said, "I don't think there are many people in Chucheng recently, but there is a case."

"What case?" Guan Nuo asked.

"It's in an office building. A crew was filming there before. Something happened but it wasn't made public. Since you're here, just do Chu Cheng a favor."

"Okay." Guan Nuo agreed immediately.

Jiang You looked up at Zhuang Zekun and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Zhuang. If Zheng Yuantai knew about my failing leg, he would definitely thank you. He has guarded Chu City for ten years, and he must hope that this place will be as peaceful and happy in the future as it was when he was here."

After finishing speaking, Jiang You stood up and said, "Section Chief, I'm going to go back first and sort out my things."

"good."

After Jiang You limped out of the ward, Zhong Yan walked to Tang Butian and took out a green reagent and handed it to Tang Butian.

Tang Butian took it, opened it and drank it.

"How are you now?" Zhong Yan asked.

"It's okay, I'm just exhausted."

"You should go back to the mountains to recuperate."

"I'll go back and take care of some things," Tang Butian handed the reagent bottle back to Zhong Yan. She asked, "Why are you here?"

"I was originally following Master Zhong. I heard that you were in Chu City, so I came here. Senior Zheng..."

"Before he left, he demonstrated his sword skills to me."

"When are you going back? I'll go with you."

"good."
