Chapter 20 The twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month(2/3)

I have a life span of 3,500 years, which is enough to take care of his short life of 400 years.

Even if the city god is replaced and the city's guilty souls are pardoned, he can't escape.

And when the realm breaks through again in the future, I will come here as a guest and strengthen the formation.

This is the first person Ning He has accidentally made enemies with, and Ning He still cares about him.

I also waited for the Yinsi.

Ning He thought of the enemy, but also of the drunkard in Xun City that day.

A little fun story about tripping someone up with a wine glass.

It just so happens that I have nothing to do tonight.

Ning He took a detour and went to Xuncheng, wanting to try the braised pork.

I haven’t eaten for a long time.

Wait until a quarter of the hour.

Xuncheng.

Ning He approached the city and found that it was half past nine. Normally, the streets should be peaceful.

But perhaps it was the Chinese New Year, so many children on the street did not sleep as usual, but instead ran back and forth and played.

From time to time there was the sound of firecrackers and the laughter and curses of some adults.

Adults also gathered together to chat, and the smell of deep-fried pies could be heard from some homes, where New Year goods were being prepared.

Today is the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Xuncheng is brightly lit, and red lanterns are hung in front of some shops on the street.

Ning He came outside an inn.

Accompanied by the slightly tired and enthusiastic greeting from the waiter.

The waiter who greets guests is actually a different person.

Waiting to enter the inn.

Ning He saw that the two drinking friends with good wines were here.

At this moment.

When Ninghe enters the store.

They subconsciously glanced at the new visitor, feeling that they looked familiar.

After thinking about it for a moment, it seemed that he was the gentleman I had met before.

Even if they haven't seen each other for a hundred days, Ning He's outstanding aura is still easy to distinguish.

Involuntarily, they smiled and nodded as if to say hello.

During this period of rest, they were busy with housework and preparing New Year's goods during the day. They had some leisure time at night, so they drank in the inn and were in a good mood.

Ning He nodded in return.

The two of them didn't say much and continued chatting about their own affairs.

Ning He sat behind a table not far away and asked the waiter to bring half a catty of braised pork and a pot of wine.

Wait for the waiter from the kitchen to come over.

Ning He saw that the waiter he had helped before had become a cook in the back kitchen.

After delivering the food with a smile, he indicated that he was busy, and left with an apology.

Ning He was tasting the braised pork, listening to the sound of the abacus in the shopkeeper's hand, and listening to the two drinking buddies nearby talking about trivial matters at home as usual.

There are also the sounds of firecrackers and frolicking coming from the street from time to time.

Xuncheng is quite lively at night.

Wait for the two drinking friends to finish their meal first.

After the two settled the bill, they nodded to Ning He who was tasting wine before leaving the inn.

Outside the inn, the two of them still agreed on the next time to drink before heading to their respective homes.

Ning He looked at the two people leaving and felt that their lives were quite pleasant.

Listen again to the trivial things they just talked about.

Ning He learned that the two of them were appraisers in a bank and the other was a police officer in a government office.

When it's time to take a break together, we'll put on normal clothes and come here to have a drink together.

They are all officials.

The shopkeeper next to me frowned from time to time, as if he had made a miscalculation or was worried that his turnover in the past few months was not high.

These two drinking buddies, who have a good job, live a pretty cool life.

There is still half a month of official leave for the Chinese New Year, and the government has prepared some new year goods for them.

"Check out." Ning He put down the meal money.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he put down his calculations and looked up. He smiled and didn't mean to take it away. He just cupped his hands and signaled Ning He to leave.

He was not there during the last checkout, so Ning He asked the waiter to settle the bill.

If he had been here at the time, he would not have accepted it.

The shopkeeper has a very good memory, and Ning He's temperament is too obvious and easy to recognize. He is still thinking about this guest who helped him solve the trouble in the inn last time, and he has not repaid the favor.

When Ning He saw that the shopkeeper had no intention of accepting the money, he also took back the money. This was considered a settlement, and he would not let the shopkeeper worry about the favor owed to him.

Say goodbye to the shopkeeper.

Ning He thought that it was late at night and just spent a night in the wild.

After that, we spent a few days in Xuncheng.

On the morning of the fifth day, we returned to the boundary of Liangcheng.

But Ning He didn't stay, but went straight back to his little home in the forest.

But today I am in Liangcheng.

Inside Zhang Yuanwai’s new store.

A guard leader with a beard and pretending to be mature is sorting two carts of goods.

Accompanied by the greetings and inquiries from pedestrians passing by, when looking at the young man, they said "Hello, Shopkeeper Zhang!" "Shopkeeper Zhang is going back to Zhou County for the New Year?"

The shopkeeper of this new shop is not Zhang Yuanwai, but the guard leader.

This is Zhang Yuanwai thinking that his nephew has already become a family affair, so he keeps running around, which is not a big deal.

The new store opened exactly two months ago, and the business is good, and Zhang Yuanwai has also sorted it out and taken care of it.

So I gave the shop to my nephew.

Now, it’s time to celebrate the New Year.

The guards also handed over the new store to the accountant first, and prepared to bring some New Year goods back to celebrate the New Year.

While the guards continued to sort out the goods.

In Zhoushan Forest.

Heavy snow covers Zhoushan Mountain and the small courtyard in the forest.

Ning He fell from the clouds, stood in front of the courtyard, and looked at Zhou Shan who was motionless.

Not awake yet.

I also remembered what the God of Lianghe once said, that Zhou Shan had been practicing for one hundred and fifty years since he opened his soul.

But the heels and feet are made of mountains and are too strong, so their cultivation has always been about talent and Qi training, and their souls are not high, far inferior to those of the River God and the City God who are not as accomplished in foundation building.

Ning He thought about this and looked at Zhou Shan again.

If you drink half a pot of spiritual wine from three months ago, this Taoist friend will probably be drunk for half a year.

Calculating the time, when Zhou Shan wakes up, it will probably be the beginning of spring next year.

Today is the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month.

It seems that the New Year in the small courtyard may be celebrated by myself.

But that’s not right either.

Ning He looked at the pear blossom that was still attached to his arm. It seemed to be asleep, being dragged by his own spiritual energy to prevent it from slipping off.

Put it in your sleeve pocket.

Ning He took out the blood from the leaf tube and the river god, and put the blood into the leaf slip, and it magically floated in the middle.

Finish this.
