Siheyuan: I have a system and I smile with satisfaction

Xu Damao looked at Feng Yinuo who was about to cough out his trachea and lungs, and couldn't help but laugh at him, "Your being sent to the countryside is not much better than me, a labor camper. You both suffer the same pain, hahahaha, I feel balanced."

Feng Yinuo managed to suppress his cough with great difficulty. At this moment, he couldn't chase Xu Damao away, as there were only three people here.

An old shepherd, the only ones left were Xu Damao and him.

The old herders are familiar with the terrain and have gotten used to everything here.

He and Xu Damao were not familiar with the place. They couldn't tell the directions here. There was endless Gobi and desert, and it was very dangerous when grazing. If they encountered large wild carnivorous animals, they had to protect themselves.

Two people together are always better than him alone.

Xu Damao is not in good health now. It seems that the dryness here has absorbed most of the water in his body. He is very skinny.

They don't have any other mood now, just thinking about how to survive...

Ni Daguo didn't care what happened to them. Ever since he sent Feng Yinuo away, his mind had been on the wedding next month.

Old Zhao’s mouth was almost stretched to the back of his head.

Old man Li's tone in the letter was very sour. He said that although he couldn't come back, he would still give gifts. He also said that Old Zhao was really lucky to have such a good son-in-law.

Lao Zhao also wrote back to him, "Lao Li, don't be jealous. You have occupied Daguo for so many years, and let Daguo prepare delicious food and drinks so many times. How come you can't stand it when it's my turn? Then I'll kill you with jealousy.

Also, what gift do you have? You've already reached that place, so the gift is not that important."

After receiving the letter, Old Man Li blew his beard and glared.

But he also knew it was the truth, and he really couldn't come up with any decent gift right now.

Finally, I made a tree sculpture myself.

He searched for many days and finally found a suitable tree root.

It's not big, only the size of a head, but it has a good shape and nice patterns. It's carved into an eagle with wings spread, just right.

It took Old Man Li half a month to finish the carving.

It was mailed to Ni Daguo. After receiving the gift, Ni Daguo wrote back to tell him that he was very satisfied and that it was better than any other gift.

Only then did Old Man Li feel happy.

He also showed off in a letter to Lao Zhao, saying that Ni Daguo was very satisfied with his tree sculpture.

Old Zhao stared at the tree carving for a long time, then went out to find two rhizomes. He carved one into the shape of a tiger and the other into the shape of a dragon. Of course, he asked someone to carve them, so he didn't have the skills of Old Man Li.

Ni Daguo fiddled with the two tree sculptures and said to Zhao Qianqian, "Dad and Uncle Li are still arguing with each other. They are just tree sculptures, so why are they arguing about it?"

Zhao Qianqian was reading a book and didn't notice any of this. When she heard Ni Daguo say this, she exclaimed.

Ni Daguo snatched the book from her hand and hugged her, "Instead of turning the pages of the book, why not turn me over? I will have different feelings every time I turn the pages."

Zhao Qianqian blushed, "You rascal, why haven't you had enough? Wasn't it yesterday..."

I can't go on. It's so embarrassing.

Ni Daguo hugged him tighter, "That was yesterday. I wish I could grow on you and be your pendant!"

"Bah! Don't you have any shame!" Zhao Qianqian's face turned even redder.

Why didn't she realize that Ni Daguo was so shameless before?

"Why are you embarrassed? We are an old married couple..."

Without giving Zhao Qianqian anything to say, Ni Daguo kissed her directly, thinking, instead of talking, it would be better to do something meaningful.

......

"Um... Um... No, I need to read. I have to write a report for tomorrow..."

“Do today’s work tomorrow, and tomorrow and tomorrow again. There are so many tomorrows. There is plenty of time.”

He didn't even give Zhao Qianqian a chance to speak. A fierce dragon crossed the river, an eagle soared into the sky, and a tiger roared in the forest...

Listening to Ni Daguo's nonsense, Zhao Qianqian looked at the three tree sculptures on the table and felt too embarrassed to look at them anymore.

That day, expert Hao, who was unshaven, dark, thin, and in a very depressed state, found Ni Daguo.

Ni Daguo was surprised. "I haven't seen you for a few months. Could it be that you went underground to dig coal?"

"Almost, almost." Expert Hao poured a cup of tea, then filled another cup for himself and drank it all.

"A cow chewing on a peony, is there anyone who drinks tea like you?"

"Master, don't blame me. You drank like this in the beginning. Why are you so particular now?"

Ni Daguo snorted, "I've always been so particular, okay? This is top-quality Huangshan Maofeng tea. It would be a waste if I let you drink it like this."

Expert Hao chuckled, "Master, you don't need this little money, why are you so stingy?"

Ni Daguo knew that this guy must be in trouble, as he hadn't been seen for several months. He came in such a hurry, and if he wasn't in a hurry, he wouldn't come with such a scruffy beard.

"Tell me what's going on. It's nothing. I won't accompany you. I'm very busy."

"Something happened. Something happened. For the past few months, I have been doing research at Wild Boar Ridge in the back mountain. I have not left that valley. It is so strange. After so long of research, I have not found any possibility of earthquake there. I really don't know why an earthquake happened. And it only shook that area, forming a sinkhole basin and a deep valley.

Then, after careful observation, he discovered that there might be a huge building there, and that valley might be the passage leading to the building.

But we just can’t figure out why the building disappeared. Even if it collapsed, it shouldn’t be so regular.

The building's corners are still there, as are the tunnels and steps, which should have been paved with jade. We found broken marble blocks at the site, which should have been laid on the steps.

During the previous interrogation of two enemy spies, we learned that they had used explosives. These stones should be those that were broken into pieces, and the components of explosives were also found.

But it is still strange that those few bags of explosives would not trigger an earthquake. Even if they did, how could they form such regular sinkholes and canyons?

We measured and found every trace that proved it was a powerful building, very similar to an ancient imperial palace.

But no matter how much I studied, I still couldn't figure it out.

It can only be listed as an unsolved mystery.

Master, how about you go and take a look at what's going on?"

As soon as Ni Daguo mentioned the Wild Boar Ridge in the back mountain, he knew what was going on.

I laughed in my heart, it would be strange if you could find it out, the entire underground palace is in his warehouse.

All the things inside were still kept intact in his warehouse.

But this cannot be said. Ni Daguo did not touch the things there, and he did not even take a close look to see what was inside.

Because he really doesn't need it for now.

But he should be thankful, because if he hadn't gone that day, the underground palace would have buried itself. If the heavy roof fell down, the objects underneath would have been smashed to pieces.
