Wang Yao sat in the small house, holding a scroll of Daoist scripture in his hand and reading it softly.
Outside the house, San Xian was lying in his kennel, looking into the distance as if deep in thought. The goshawk was perched on a tree branch, flapping its wings from time to time.
Spring rain was as precious as oil. This rain did not last long and stopped when it was close to evening.
Originally, Wang Yao didn't want to go down the mountain because the road would be a little muddy after the rain. However, he received a call from home saying that there were guests at home and he had to go back.
He had no choice but to go down the mountain. When he returned home, he saw two strangers sitting in his house, a man and a woman. The woman looked to be in her thirties and had taken good care of herself. The man looked rougher. Even when he was sitting on the sofa, his back was straight and he looked very imposing. He had never seen these two people before.
"Yao, you've grown so big!" That woman said, clearly recognizing Wang Yao.
"You are …"
"This is your aunt, your uncle," Zhang Xiuying said with a smile.
After his mother's introduction, Wang Yao found out that the woman in her thirties was his cousin, the daughter of his aunt, and the man was her husband.
After such an introduction, Wang Yao remembered that his mother had once mentioned this aunt. To be exact, she was the family of his great-aunt whom he had never met. It seemed that all the children of that family were very promising. The aunt in front of him was a famous college student in the county more than ten years ago. Her results in the college entrance examination were very good. Later, she went to a famous university in the capital. Her two brothers were also very capable. One of them was a senior manager in a state-owned enterprise, while the other was in Haiqu City. He did business by himself, which seemed to be related to real estate. They were also very rich. Usually, they would not communicate with Wang Yao and his family.
Their shoulders were uneven, so they were not relatives.
Although this sentence was unpleasant to hear, it was still somewhat reasonable.
The couple had dinner at Wang Yao's house. Wang Fenghua took out the remaining Maotai.
"Wow, brother-in-law, you're drinking Maotai?" Wang Yao's aunt smiled.
"Yao gave it to me," Wang Fenghua said.
"Pour wine for your uncle."
"Ai."
Wang Yao took the warm wine and poured it for his uncle first. Then, he filled his father's glass.
"You want some too?"
"I won't drink it." Wang Yao waved his hand. He really wasn't used to drinking this wine.
"This wine is pretty good. It's rare to get to drink it."
Ever since he entered the room, the man who was sitting upright had said no more than ten sentences. He gave people the impression that he was not good with words, but it was rare for him to say something.
After dinner, the couple sat around for a while. They chatted with Wang Yao's parents, especially his mother, for a while before they left.
After seeing them off, Wang Yao looked at the time and decided to spend the night at home instead of going to Nanshan Hill. With the experience last time, he was a lot more relaxed about the situation on Nanshan Hill. The dog and the eagle were quite responsible and quite capable.
He sat at home and chatted with his parents. His mother talked about the couple who had just arrived.
According to the seniority of the family, the woman who should be called auntie was quite capable. It was said that her English was at the level of a professional level eight professional, and she could also speak German. She used to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but now she was doing business overseas. Her husband looked a little older, but in fact, he was not that old. He was now a regimental cadre. It seemed that his father was even more powerful, at least a divisional cadre. In the eyes of ordinary people, this was already a very high status.
They originally planned to come back for the Spring Festival, but because of some things in Jing, they came back a little later. After they came back, they visited all of their relatives in Lianshan County.
"Why haven't I seen them come back in the past years?" Asked Wang Yao curiously. In his memory, this seemed to be the first time that this couple had come to visit his relatives. This was somewhat unusual.
"They came here because they still care about us. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" said Zhang Xiuying somewhat discontentedly.
"Yes, yes, yes," replied Wang Yao immediately.
However, he still had some doubts in his mind. It was too strange for them to suddenly visit his relatives. However, it seemed that there was nothing that he could do to help them. After all, they had a high status and the resources and connections that they could access were far beyond his imagination. He thought that they just thought of visiting his relatives by chance and wanted to take this opportunity to visit his relatives.
The next morning, Wang Yao got up early, cooked some food, and went to Nanshan Hill.
Maybe it was because of the rain yesterday, the air seemed to be a little moist.
After walking around the herbal field, he watered the licorice roots with ancient spring water and changed the water for San Xian and Da Xia. After that, he went back to Nanshan Hill. He went to the top of the rock and started to practice.
The wind was still blowing on the peak, but the direction of the wind had changed. It was not so cold anymore. After the unusual spring rain, there seemed to be a little more warmth in the wind.
Wang Yao sat on the rock like an old monk in meditation. Only his body could be seen moving up and down rhythmically.
The Skyattack in the distance was bright and beautiful. The sun showed a little bit of its head, then suddenly jumped out and the sun shone on the earth.
At this time, Wang Yao's body shook slightly and then returned to normal.
After a while, he got up from the rock with a smile on his face.
It was good news. Another meridian was unblocked.
After the Qi in his abdomen circulated several times, he felt that his body seemed to be more comfortable than before. It was lighter and more powerful. Even his whole spirit was refreshed.
I wonder how my body has improved?
Wang Yao said as he opened the system panel.
Character attributes: Physique 2.5, Strength 1.7, Spirit 2.1, Agility 1.8, Will 1.9
There had been a lot of progress. With the continuous improvement of his practice, Wang Yao was moving forward along the road of transcendence.
However, after the spring equinox, the villagers will gradually start to get busy. At that time, there will be more people going up the mountain. I'm afraid some things will not be so convenient.
Although no one came to Nanshan Hill on weekdays, it was different during the farming season. The nearby mountains were all planted with crops, and there were many people coming and going.
If the secret was exposed, it was no longer a secret. The attractive wealth was exposed to the public. Some people with evil intentions would definitely have crooked thoughts.
The licorice roots were precious, so they had to be planted. At the same time, they had to prevent others from prying and being greedy.
To prevent, they had to be deterred!
To be kind, they had to be ruthless.
Wang Yao stood on Nanshan Hill and looked at the mountain village in the distance. He thought a lot.
He had thought more than once how good it would be if his life could continue peacefully like this.
