Tried to trick me into raising a cat again
Chapter 42
The four of them caught a lot of crabs. There is a kitchen in the guest house, and all the kitchen utensils and seasonings are available, so it is very convenient to do it yourself.Qu Yanning was in charge of the cook, and the other three were in charge of washing the crabs.
Clean the crabs, pick out the big ones and tie them with a rope, ready to be steamed, and cut the small ones in half, wrap them in starch, and prepare to make spicy crabs.
Qu Yanning was busy in the kitchen, while the other three waited eagerly outside the kitchen, smelling the aroma.
The crab shell turned deep red, Qu Yanning tasted it, put the crab on a plate and took it out.
Zhao Dongqi did not know where to get a bottle of wine, the three of them sat around in the gazebo in the yard, and they had already drank it with their shoulders crossed.Seeing Qu Yanning approaching, three pairs of eyes fell on the spicy crab in his hand and couldn't move.
Qu Yanning put the spicy crab in the middle, and said: "The steamed ones will have to wait a while, you guys eat first."
Zhao Dongqi stared at the crab closely and said, what a shame, let's wait for you to eat together.
Qu Yanning waved his hand, saying that it doesn't matter, it will be fine soon.
He wiped his hands on his apron and went back to the kitchen to look at the crabs.
Xie Qi was lying on the kitchen stool waiting for him, steaming steam was coming out of the steamer, with the fresh and sweet aroma of crabs,
"Are you hungry?" Qu Yanning squatted down and touched his nose.
Xie Qi rubbed his cheek against him, meowed, and looked at the steamer with burning eyes.
Qu Yanning pinched his ears and said with a smile: "Little greedy cat, I will save the biggest one for you later."
Opening the steamer, the crabs inside were neatly arranged, and they had all been steamed into an attractive red color. Qu Yanning picked out the two largest crabs, peeled them open while blowing, and peeled the crabs inside. Pick out the meat.
The meat of the two crabs was placed in a small dish, and Qu Yanning put the meat on the side to cool, then mixed the dipping sauce in the small bowl, and served it out together with the steamed crabs.
Xie Qi flicked his tail, looking eagerly at the white and tender crab meat in the small dish.
Qu Yanning took off her apron, turned back and hugged the cat, and took a small plate to the gazebo for supper together.
Zhao Dongqi stared at the kitchen expectantly, and when he saw that he was finally done with his work, he called him over quickly, "Hurry up, it won't taste good when it gets cold."
Qu Yanning sat down with the cat in his arms, let the cat sit on his lap, and took a piece of crab meat with his chopsticks to satisfy the cat's appetite first.
The little Taoist next to him stared at the plate of white and tender crab meat, and enviously said that being a cat is really good.
The Daoist tapped him on the head, put a crab in a bowl for him, and said with a stern face, "You're talking nonsense."
The little Taoist secretly made a grimace, and peeled and ate the crabs by himself.
Maybe it’s because of the good water and soil on the island, and the crabs on the island are also extraordinarily delicious. Several people can’t stop eating crabs, and they don’t even have time to talk. In the pavilion, apart from the sound of biting the crab shells, it’s the soup. sound.
Especially Zhao Dongqi, he wished he could clean his fingers with the spicy crab soup.
Xie Qi sat on Qu Yanning's lap, with his tail dangling happily, while accepting the feeding, he also urged Qu Yanning to eat by himself.
Crabs, good wine, bright moon, and cats, Qu Yanning squinted her eyes happily and took a sip of the wine, feeling very comfortable.
The night was extremely delicious. After eating and drinking, Qu Yanning took the cat back to the room to rest, and the battlefield was handed over to the three people who were waiting for food.
……
Unexpectedly, he overslept again, Qu Yanning rolled the cat on the bed twice, buried his face in the fur belly and took a deep breath.
Xie Qi was a little itchy from being sucked by him, and pushed him with the paw pads unhappily, and pressed four soft paws on Qu Yanning's face, Qu Yanning grabbed the paws frantically and kissed him again.
Xie Qi quickly withdrew his claws, put them back under his belly, his ears kept shaking.
Qu Yanning poked him with a smile, stretched his waist and got up, the sun outside was already high, he glanced at the clock on the wall, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
Also very sleepy.
By the time they finished packing and walked slowly to the arena, the second match was already halfway through.
Qu Yanning looked at it for a while. Today's game is basically an enhanced version of yesterday. Yesterday he was looking for stones, and today he is looking for "Dragon's Cave".
Poor these contestants, they probably turned over the whole mountain in the past two days.
Qu Yanning was on the outside, and Zhao Dongqi on the inside saw him, and squeezed out of the crowd to get close to him.
"The game is almost over. I knocked on the door several times in the morning and you didn't wake up."
"I fell asleep after drinking." He also drank two glasses of wine yesterday. The wine was good, but his drinking capacity was really average, and he fell asleep all morning after two glasses of wine.
"But there's nothing to see today," Zhao Dongqi said, "the main event will be tomorrow."
"What will be compared tomorrow?" Qu Yanning asked.
"Divination deduction." Zhao Dongqi said, he looked around, and whispered: "The previous rumors may not be false. If you look at the third match, it is obvious that you are looking for someone."
Qu Yanning didn't care about these things, he said: "If someone is really lost, you have to find a way to find it."
Zhao Dongqi thought about it, so he no longer cared about it, and dragged him to other places.
-
The third game came while everyone was waiting eagerly. The venue of the game was in the garden of the front yard, and the players who passed the second game were waiting in the yard.
The third match was replaced by Qu Qingshui who personally hosted it, and the spectators murmured in low voices. Seeing this battle, the Qu family seemed to have really lost their son.
Qu Qingshui first talked about the rules of the third game. This game was about divination and deduction. The servant next to him came up with a piece of clothing on a tray. Qu Qingshui took it and put the tray on the table in front of him.
"In the time it takes for each person to burn an incense stick, the person who can calculate the location of the owner of the clothes wins."
A bottle of incense burner was placed on the table, and the red sticks of incense slowly began to burn.
The contestants stepped forward one by one according to their numbers, each showing their skills against the clothes.
The clothes are just ordinary clothes. The contestants tried their best, some muttered words to the clothes, some bowed to the clothes, and some directly bit their fingers, wiped the blood on the clothes, and closed their eyes Reading and writing incomprehensible words...
Qu Yanning looked at the dancing arena like a god, and smiled and licked the cat.
The contestants stepped forward to read it one by one. Qu Qingshui asked people to distribute paper and pens, and asked the contestants to write their answers on the paper.
The contestants were frowning, as if they had encountered some difficult problem. Qu Qingshui stood in front with his hands behind his back. Someone whispered something behind him. He frowned, greeted the judges, and turned to the main courtyard. go.
In the main courtyard, Qu Jianling supported a woman with a haggard face, and persuaded him softly, "You are not in good health yet, just take good care of it in the yard, with clear water in front, and if there is a result, I will naturally come to inform you." .”
Wei Fengqing shook off his hand, her gentle eyebrows and eyes were tinged with anger, "You just coax me, you all say that Xiao Ning is gone, but can't I, a mother, not feel that my son is here?"
Qu Jianling sighed, "You said that Xiao Ning is still there, Qingshui called more than half of the people in the Feng Shui circle to look for it, and even Xie Erye came forward. If you still can't find it this time, who else will find it?" Can you find it?"
Wei Fengqing's eyes were red, "You just don't want to believe me."
"Uncle, aunt." Qu Qingshui stood at the gate of the courtyard and interrupted the dispute between the two.
Seeing him, Qu Jianling asked, "It's over? How is it?"
Qu Qingshui shook his head, "Not yet, I just want to come over and ask my little uncle and aunt if they want to go and have a look in person."
Qu Jianling sighed, helped Wei Fengqing to sit down, and gently patted her on the back, "Your aunt is not in good health, so I won't go there, just watch."
Wei Fengqing leaned against him, silently.
Qu Qingshui sighed softly, his face also stained with melancholy, "I see."
In the front yard, after the contestants handed in their answers, they exchanged their answers in whispers with each other.
As the eldest son of Zhao, Zhao Dongfan has been gifted since he was a child, and was cultivated by the Zhao family. His ability is definitely outstanding among the younger generation in the Feng Shui industry. He is also full of confidence in his ability, but today's competition, he was the first to let him There were swinging moods.
He communicated with his friends about his plans for the exam, "Dead hexagram?"
The friend nodded, "The hexagram of death.
Zhao Dongfan breathed a sigh of relief, although he couldn't figure out why the Qu family wanted them to calculate the position with a dead man's clothes, but now at least he can be sure that he did not make a mistake.
35 answer sheets were handed in, and the judges looked at them one by one. Fifteen of the answer sheets were written with the hexagram of death.
The rest of the papers were more or less related to the hexagram of death. The judges discussed for a while and discussed with Qu Qingshui before announcing the results.
Fifteen contestants whose answers were written with death hexagrams passed the exam, and the remaining five places were chosen among the 20 who did not pass.
Qu Yanning asked Zhao Dongqi in a low voice, "Does this mean that person has...?"
Zhao Dong nodded, "The judges have all agreed, there should be no mistakes."
Qu Yanning sighed twice, held the cat and petted it, saying that they made such a big battle just for a person who was no longer there.
Zhao Dongqi also didn't understand why the Qu family did this. It stands to reason that the contestants could figure out what the Qu family couldn't see. He shook his head and said, "The ideas of these big families are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Understood."
The winners have been selected, and they can stay on the island to practice for a year, and the others are starting to leave one after another.
Qu Yanning was the first group of people to leave. He was thinking about the business in the store, and he wanted to go back as soon as possible.
Zhao Dongqi did not accompany him this time. After the game, his cousin Zhao Dongfan came over and said he wanted to have a good chat with him, so he detained him immediately.
Qu Yanning hugged the cat and followed the people in front of him onto the cruise ship.
……
"Do you regret it?" The man in white leaned on the railing, looking at Qu Qingshui with a sarcastic smile.
Qu Qingshui looked at the cruise ship leaving slowly, with a very calm expression, "I never regret it, this is a good way for me and for him."
They stood on the pavilion halfway up the mountain, and the dense canopy spread out to cover the sky and the sun, completely blocking the sunlight from above.
"Then why do you have to be pretentious here." The man in white sneered with a mocking expression.
Qu Qingshui looked at him coldly, "This is my private matter, you are too lenient."
"Tell me, what do you want me to do for you this time?"
"Old rules, send this over here." The man in white took out a jade pendant from his arms, the pure black jade pendant was cold to the touch, as if it had been cold to the bone.
Qu Qingshui put away the jade pendant, turned around and walked down the mountain, "Got it."
-
After sailing on the sea for a day and a night, Qu Yanning finally stood on the land of Shenshi again.
There were a lot fewer people at the port, so Qu Yanning hugged the cat and went straight back after hitting it.
He went to the store first to have a look. Before he left, he prepared all the seasonings needed for the barbecue. Xue Li only needs to follow the method he taught and use the special barbecue sauce to bake it.
There were still too many people in the store, and the two waiters were too busy. After baking, Xue Li came out with a tray to deliver the food.
Qu Yanning went in with the cat in his arms, put the cat on the cash register, changed into his overalls and went to help in the kitchen.
Seeing him, Xue Li froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "Brother Qu, you are finally back."
Qu Yanning took over the work in his hand, and Xue Li was on the sidelines to help him, and said embarrassedly, "I followed your instructions, but the guests thought that what I copied was not as good as yours. What about the smell?"
Qu Yanning smiled and said that it would be good to study for a while.
With one more person helping, the food was served much faster, and there was a steady stream of customers in the store, which didn't stop until closing time.
The others were cleaning, and Qu Yanning counted his income during the few days he was away, and suggested that they go have a hot pot together.
The others readily agreed, so after the restaurant was cleaned up, Qu Yanning, Xue Li and two waiters went straight to the hot pot restaurant.
There are still a lot of people at this spot of the hot pot restaurant, the four of them and one cat sat down in a quieter place, chatting while waiting for the food to be served.
Xue Li sat opposite Qu Yanning, he looked around curiously, and when the bottom of the Jiugongge pot was served, his expression was even more surprised.
Qu Yanning went to mix the dipping sauce, and made a bowl for Xue Li by the way. He is young, and others always take care of him subconsciously.
"Can you eat spicy food?"
Qu Yanning scooped a small spoonful of red oil from the bottom of the pot and added it to the dipping sauce. Xue Li looked at the bright red bowl and nodded hesitantly.
Qu Yanning then added a small spoon for him.
The side dishes were brought up one after another, and Xue Li imitated them and scalded the dishes in the hot pot. The red oil looked very attractive, Xue Li ate it in one bite, and was so hot that he stuck out his tongue.
"Have you never eaten hot pot before?" Seeing that his movements were unfamiliar, Qu Yanning scalded a piece of tripe for him, "Try this."
Xue Li stuck out his tongue hotly while putting tripe into his mouth, and said vaguely: "I haven't eaten it before, and I don't have these at home."
The two younger sisters who were with him immediately felt sorry for him, repeatedly put meat in his bowl, had never even eaten hot pot, and did not know what life was like before.
Everyone was very satisfied after eating this hot pot meal, especially Xue Li, whose mouth was red from the hotness, was still breathing and saying that the hot pot was delicious.
Sending the two girls back first, Qu Yanning sent Xue Li back to the shop, and then went home with the cat.
In the living room, Chu Zhou was playing a game while wearing a facial mask, and the tea table was full of snack packaging bags.
"You've been so decadent for a few days..." Qu Yanning stared at the bucket of instant noodles in the trash can, with a very indescribable expression.
Chu Zhou quit the game, quickly cleaned up the coffee table, and threw himself on him to give him a big hug, "Honey, I miss you to death, if you don't come back, I will starve to death."
Before Qu Yanning could push him away, Xie Qi blew his hair out first, bared his teeth and growled at Chu Zhou in warning.
Chuzhou let go of Qu Yanning and made a face at him.
Qu Yanning picked up the cat with fried fur, stroked it soothingly, and asked him to rest early. Chu Zhou said he would go to sleep after applying the mask.
……
Afterwards, life became more regular. Qu Yanning was busy around the cat and her small shop every day, and lived a very fulfilling life.
When December came, Zhang Ren came to Shenshi.
He first called Qu Yanning and asked if he and Chu Zhou were at home at night. Qu Yanning said they were, but he hung up the phone without saying anything.
Then that night when Qu Yanning came home after closing, he saw Zhang Ren on the sofa.
Compared with before, Zhang Ren seemed to be much calmer. He straightened his back and sat on the sofa. Chu Zhou sat on his right hand and was playing with his mobile phone with his head down. Both of them were silent and did not speak.
The atmosphere seemed a little awkward.
Qu Yanning carefully sat down on the side, and asked Zhang Ren, "When did you arrive in Shenshi?"
Zhang Ren said, "Just arrived."
Qu Yanning said dryly, and couldn't find a topic after thinking for a long time, and Chu Zhou didn't look at him, so he had to ask again: "How long will you stay in Shenshi this time?"
Zhang Ren said he was not sure, "Maybe he will leave soon, or he may have to stay forever."
Chu Zhou picked up his water glass and took a sip of water.
Qu Yanning subconsciously felt that their atmosphere was a little weird, hugged the cat and said cowardly, you haven't finished your meal yet, I'll make some supper.Then he quickly hid in the kitchen.
Zhang Ren clenched his fingers, looked at Chu Zhou with a cold expression on the opposite side, and said, "I went to Aunt Zhuang's place before I came, and she and the children are very good,"
Chu Zhou finally gave him the first straight look after entering the door and said, "Thank you."
Zhang Ren said, "Don't be so polite,"
Chu Zhou lowered his eyes and said yes.
"..." Zhang Ren moved slightly, swallowed what he wanted to say, and just put the bag next to him on the coffee table, "Aunt Zhuang asked me to bring this to you."
Chu Zhou took the things over, still staring at the phone and not talking much.
Zhang Ren was silent for a while, said he still had something to do, and left first. Before Qu Yanning could keep anyone, Zhang Ren waved his hand and went out.
Qu Yanning sat next to Chu Zhou and asked him what was going on.
Chu Zhou pursed his lips, saying that there was nothing wrong, and even nodded his forehead specially, warning: "Don't meddle in it."
Qu Yanning opened his eyes wide and said that he would never interfere.
After that, Zhang Ren would come over every two days, sometimes to deliver food, and sometimes to bring something interesting when he came across it.
Chu Zhou refused to take it, Zhang Ren was even more determined, put down his things and left directly, leaving Chu Zhou staring and unhappy.
Qu Yanning felt that these two people were just two saw-mouthed gourds, both of them were stuffy in their stomachs, and neither of them would speak first, he felt tired and flustered just looking at them.
Chu Zhou has become more and more addicted to games recently, as long as Qu Yanning is at home, he can hear his passionate voice.Oh, he stopped playing dungeons recently, and switched to PVP, hanging around YY all day, either collecting kills in the wild or in team battles.
That night, Chu Zhou mysteriously pulled him to the computer, and said to Qu Yanning, "Come here and I'll show you a big baby."
"What?" Qu Yanning looked over curiously. On the computer screen was the game interface. Two characters dressed in red and with big red flowers on their chests stood in the middle, surrounded by people. Brush the words of blessing.
"I have a relationship." Chu Zhou said proudly.
"Who?" Qu Yanning pointed to the screen, "This one?"
Chu Zhou nodded, "The key to being handsome and rich is not to be bored."
Qu Yanning always felt that his words meant something, but he was sensible and didn't ask, but pretended to congratulate you for finally getting out of the order.
Chu Zhou glanced at him triumphantly, asked Qu Yanning to help keep track of the time, and went to the bathroom first.
The characters in the game are all dressed in colorful clothes, and they also have blinding light effects on their bodies. Qu Yanning has never played it before, so he looked at it curiously.
A notification sound suddenly sounded in the soft background music, Qu Yanning looked subconsciously, and saw a dialogue pop up from the secret chat dialog box in the lower left corner.
[Qingqing Grassland] quietly said: Help me, I'm trapped in the game.
Clean the crabs, pick out the big ones and tie them with a rope, ready to be steamed, and cut the small ones in half, wrap them in starch, and prepare to make spicy crabs.
Qu Yanning was busy in the kitchen, while the other three waited eagerly outside the kitchen, smelling the aroma.
The crab shell turned deep red, Qu Yanning tasted it, put the crab on a plate and took it out.
Zhao Dongqi did not know where to get a bottle of wine, the three of them sat around in the gazebo in the yard, and they had already drank it with their shoulders crossed.Seeing Qu Yanning approaching, three pairs of eyes fell on the spicy crab in his hand and couldn't move.
Qu Yanning put the spicy crab in the middle, and said: "The steamed ones will have to wait a while, you guys eat first."
Zhao Dongqi stared at the crab closely and said, what a shame, let's wait for you to eat together.
Qu Yanning waved his hand, saying that it doesn't matter, it will be fine soon.
He wiped his hands on his apron and went back to the kitchen to look at the crabs.
Xie Qi was lying on the kitchen stool waiting for him, steaming steam was coming out of the steamer, with the fresh and sweet aroma of crabs,
"Are you hungry?" Qu Yanning squatted down and touched his nose.
Xie Qi rubbed his cheek against him, meowed, and looked at the steamer with burning eyes.
Qu Yanning pinched his ears and said with a smile: "Little greedy cat, I will save the biggest one for you later."
Opening the steamer, the crabs inside were neatly arranged, and they had all been steamed into an attractive red color. Qu Yanning picked out the two largest crabs, peeled them open while blowing, and peeled the crabs inside. Pick out the meat.
The meat of the two crabs was placed in a small dish, and Qu Yanning put the meat on the side to cool, then mixed the dipping sauce in the small bowl, and served it out together with the steamed crabs.
Xie Qi flicked his tail, looking eagerly at the white and tender crab meat in the small dish.
Qu Yanning took off her apron, turned back and hugged the cat, and took a small plate to the gazebo for supper together.
Zhao Dongqi stared at the kitchen expectantly, and when he saw that he was finally done with his work, he called him over quickly, "Hurry up, it won't taste good when it gets cold."
Qu Yanning sat down with the cat in his arms, let the cat sit on his lap, and took a piece of crab meat with his chopsticks to satisfy the cat's appetite first.
The little Taoist next to him stared at the plate of white and tender crab meat, and enviously said that being a cat is really good.
The Daoist tapped him on the head, put a crab in a bowl for him, and said with a stern face, "You're talking nonsense."
The little Taoist secretly made a grimace, and peeled and ate the crabs by himself.
Maybe it’s because of the good water and soil on the island, and the crabs on the island are also extraordinarily delicious. Several people can’t stop eating crabs, and they don’t even have time to talk. In the pavilion, apart from the sound of biting the crab shells, it’s the soup. sound.
Especially Zhao Dongqi, he wished he could clean his fingers with the spicy crab soup.
Xie Qi sat on Qu Yanning's lap, with his tail dangling happily, while accepting the feeding, he also urged Qu Yanning to eat by himself.
Crabs, good wine, bright moon, and cats, Qu Yanning squinted her eyes happily and took a sip of the wine, feeling very comfortable.
The night was extremely delicious. After eating and drinking, Qu Yanning took the cat back to the room to rest, and the battlefield was handed over to the three people who were waiting for food.
……
Unexpectedly, he overslept again, Qu Yanning rolled the cat on the bed twice, buried his face in the fur belly and took a deep breath.
Xie Qi was a little itchy from being sucked by him, and pushed him with the paw pads unhappily, and pressed four soft paws on Qu Yanning's face, Qu Yanning grabbed the paws frantically and kissed him again.
Xie Qi quickly withdrew his claws, put them back under his belly, his ears kept shaking.
Qu Yanning poked him with a smile, stretched his waist and got up, the sun outside was already high, he glanced at the clock on the wall, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
Also very sleepy.
By the time they finished packing and walked slowly to the arena, the second match was already halfway through.
Qu Yanning looked at it for a while. Today's game is basically an enhanced version of yesterday. Yesterday he was looking for stones, and today he is looking for "Dragon's Cave".
Poor these contestants, they probably turned over the whole mountain in the past two days.
Qu Yanning was on the outside, and Zhao Dongqi on the inside saw him, and squeezed out of the crowd to get close to him.
"The game is almost over. I knocked on the door several times in the morning and you didn't wake up."
"I fell asleep after drinking." He also drank two glasses of wine yesterday. The wine was good, but his drinking capacity was really average, and he fell asleep all morning after two glasses of wine.
"But there's nothing to see today," Zhao Dongqi said, "the main event will be tomorrow."
"What will be compared tomorrow?" Qu Yanning asked.
"Divination deduction." Zhao Dongqi said, he looked around, and whispered: "The previous rumors may not be false. If you look at the third match, it is obvious that you are looking for someone."
Qu Yanning didn't care about these things, he said: "If someone is really lost, you have to find a way to find it."
Zhao Dongqi thought about it, so he no longer cared about it, and dragged him to other places.
-
The third game came while everyone was waiting eagerly. The venue of the game was in the garden of the front yard, and the players who passed the second game were waiting in the yard.
The third match was replaced by Qu Qingshui who personally hosted it, and the spectators murmured in low voices. Seeing this battle, the Qu family seemed to have really lost their son.
Qu Qingshui first talked about the rules of the third game. This game was about divination and deduction. The servant next to him came up with a piece of clothing on a tray. Qu Qingshui took it and put the tray on the table in front of him.
"In the time it takes for each person to burn an incense stick, the person who can calculate the location of the owner of the clothes wins."
A bottle of incense burner was placed on the table, and the red sticks of incense slowly began to burn.
The contestants stepped forward one by one according to their numbers, each showing their skills against the clothes.
The clothes are just ordinary clothes. The contestants tried their best, some muttered words to the clothes, some bowed to the clothes, and some directly bit their fingers, wiped the blood on the clothes, and closed their eyes Reading and writing incomprehensible words...
Qu Yanning looked at the dancing arena like a god, and smiled and licked the cat.
The contestants stepped forward to read it one by one. Qu Qingshui asked people to distribute paper and pens, and asked the contestants to write their answers on the paper.
The contestants were frowning, as if they had encountered some difficult problem. Qu Qingshui stood in front with his hands behind his back. Someone whispered something behind him. He frowned, greeted the judges, and turned to the main courtyard. go.
In the main courtyard, Qu Jianling supported a woman with a haggard face, and persuaded him softly, "You are not in good health yet, just take good care of it in the yard, with clear water in front, and if there is a result, I will naturally come to inform you." .”
Wei Fengqing shook off his hand, her gentle eyebrows and eyes were tinged with anger, "You just coax me, you all say that Xiao Ning is gone, but can't I, a mother, not feel that my son is here?"
Qu Jianling sighed, "You said that Xiao Ning is still there, Qingshui called more than half of the people in the Feng Shui circle to look for it, and even Xie Erye came forward. If you still can't find it this time, who else will find it?" Can you find it?"
Wei Fengqing's eyes were red, "You just don't want to believe me."
"Uncle, aunt." Qu Qingshui stood at the gate of the courtyard and interrupted the dispute between the two.
Seeing him, Qu Jianling asked, "It's over? How is it?"
Qu Qingshui shook his head, "Not yet, I just want to come over and ask my little uncle and aunt if they want to go and have a look in person."
Qu Jianling sighed, helped Wei Fengqing to sit down, and gently patted her on the back, "Your aunt is not in good health, so I won't go there, just watch."
Wei Fengqing leaned against him, silently.
Qu Qingshui sighed softly, his face also stained with melancholy, "I see."
In the front yard, after the contestants handed in their answers, they exchanged their answers in whispers with each other.
As the eldest son of Zhao, Zhao Dongfan has been gifted since he was a child, and was cultivated by the Zhao family. His ability is definitely outstanding among the younger generation in the Feng Shui industry. He is also full of confidence in his ability, but today's competition, he was the first to let him There were swinging moods.
He communicated with his friends about his plans for the exam, "Dead hexagram?"
The friend nodded, "The hexagram of death.
Zhao Dongfan breathed a sigh of relief, although he couldn't figure out why the Qu family wanted them to calculate the position with a dead man's clothes, but now at least he can be sure that he did not make a mistake.
35 answer sheets were handed in, and the judges looked at them one by one. Fifteen of the answer sheets were written with the hexagram of death.
The rest of the papers were more or less related to the hexagram of death. The judges discussed for a while and discussed with Qu Qingshui before announcing the results.
Fifteen contestants whose answers were written with death hexagrams passed the exam, and the remaining five places were chosen among the 20 who did not pass.
Qu Yanning asked Zhao Dongqi in a low voice, "Does this mean that person has...?"
Zhao Dong nodded, "The judges have all agreed, there should be no mistakes."
Qu Yanning sighed twice, held the cat and petted it, saying that they made such a big battle just for a person who was no longer there.
Zhao Dongqi also didn't understand why the Qu family did this. It stands to reason that the contestants could figure out what the Qu family couldn't see. He shook his head and said, "The ideas of these big families are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Understood."
The winners have been selected, and they can stay on the island to practice for a year, and the others are starting to leave one after another.
Qu Yanning was the first group of people to leave. He was thinking about the business in the store, and he wanted to go back as soon as possible.
Zhao Dongqi did not accompany him this time. After the game, his cousin Zhao Dongfan came over and said he wanted to have a good chat with him, so he detained him immediately.
Qu Yanning hugged the cat and followed the people in front of him onto the cruise ship.
……
"Do you regret it?" The man in white leaned on the railing, looking at Qu Qingshui with a sarcastic smile.
Qu Qingshui looked at the cruise ship leaving slowly, with a very calm expression, "I never regret it, this is a good way for me and for him."
They stood on the pavilion halfway up the mountain, and the dense canopy spread out to cover the sky and the sun, completely blocking the sunlight from above.
"Then why do you have to be pretentious here." The man in white sneered with a mocking expression.
Qu Qingshui looked at him coldly, "This is my private matter, you are too lenient."
"Tell me, what do you want me to do for you this time?"
"Old rules, send this over here." The man in white took out a jade pendant from his arms, the pure black jade pendant was cold to the touch, as if it had been cold to the bone.
Qu Qingshui put away the jade pendant, turned around and walked down the mountain, "Got it."

After sailing on the sea for a day and a night, Qu Yanning finally stood on the land of Shenshi again.
There were a lot fewer people at the port, so Qu Yanning hugged the cat and went straight back after hitting it.
He went to the store first to have a look. Before he left, he prepared all the seasonings needed for the barbecue. Xue Li only needs to follow the method he taught and use the special barbecue sauce to bake it.

Qu Yanning went in with the cat in his arms, put the cat on the cash register, changed into his overalls and went to help in the kitchen.
Seeing him, Xue Li froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "Brother Qu, you are finally back."
Qu Yanning took over the work in his hand, and Xue Li was on the sidelines to help him, and said embarrassedly, "I followed your instructions, but the guests thought that what I copied was not as good as yours. What about the smell?"
Qu Yanning smiled and said that it would be good to study for a while.
With one more person helping, the food was served much faster, and there was a steady stream of customers in the store, which didn't stop until closing time.
The others were cleaning, and Qu Yanning counted his income during the few days he was away, and suggested that they go have a hot pot together.
The others readily agreed, so after the restaurant was cleaned up, Qu Yanning, Xue Li and two waiters went straight to the hot pot restaurant.
There are still a lot of people at this spot of the hot pot restaurant, the four of them and one cat sat down in a quieter place, chatting while waiting for the food to be served.
Xue Li sat opposite Qu Yanning, he looked around curiously, and when the bottom of the Jiugongge pot was served, his expression was even more surprised.
Qu Yanning went to mix the dipping sauce, and made a bowl for Xue Li by the way. He is young, and others always take care of him subconsciously.
"Can you eat spicy food?"
Qu Yanning scooped a small spoonful of red oil from the bottom of the pot and added it to the dipping sauce. Xue Li looked at the bright red bowl and nodded hesitantly.
Qu Yanning then added a small spoon for him.
The side dishes were brought up one after another, and Xue Li imitated them and scalded the dishes in the hot pot. The red oil looked very attractive, Xue Li ate it in one bite, and was so hot that he stuck out his tongue.
"Have you never eaten hot pot before?" Seeing that his movements were unfamiliar, Qu Yanning scalded a piece of tripe for him, "Try this."
Xue Li stuck out his tongue hotly while putting tripe into his mouth, and said vaguely: "I haven't eaten it before, and I don't have these at home."
The two younger sisters who were with him immediately felt sorry for him, repeatedly put meat in his bowl, had never even eaten hot pot, and did not know what life was like before.
Everyone was very satisfied after eating this hot pot meal, especially Xue Li, whose mouth was red from the hotness, was still breathing and saying that the hot pot was delicious.
Sending the two girls back first, Qu Yanning sent Xue Li back to the shop, and then went home with the cat.
In the living room, Chu Zhou was playing a game while wearing a facial mask, and the tea table was full of snack packaging bags.
"You've been so decadent for a few days..." Qu Yanning stared at the bucket of instant noodles in the trash can, with a very indescribable expression.
Chu Zhou quit the game, quickly cleaned up the coffee table, and threw himself on him to give him a big hug, "Honey, I miss you to death, if you don't come back, I will starve to death."
Before Qu Yanning could push him away, Xie Qi blew his hair out first, bared his teeth and growled at Chu Zhou in warning.
Chuzhou let go of Qu Yanning and made a face at him.
Qu Yanning picked up the cat with fried fur, stroked it soothingly, and asked him to rest early. Chu Zhou said he would go to sleep after applying the mask.
……
Afterwards, life became more regular. Qu Yanning was busy around the cat and her small shop every day, and lived a very fulfilling life.
When December came, Zhang Ren came to Shenshi.
He first called Qu Yanning and asked if he and Chu Zhou were at home at night. Qu Yanning said they were, but he hung up the phone without saying anything.
Then that night when Qu Yanning came home after closing, he saw Zhang Ren on the sofa.
Compared with before, Zhang Ren seemed to be much calmer. He straightened his back and sat on the sofa. Chu Zhou sat on his right hand and was playing with his mobile phone with his head down. Both of them were silent and did not speak.
The atmosphere seemed a little awkward.
Qu Yanning carefully sat down on the side, and asked Zhang Ren, "When did you arrive in Shenshi?"
Zhang Ren said, "Just arrived."
Qu Yanning said dryly, and couldn't find a topic after thinking for a long time, and Chu Zhou didn't look at him, so he had to ask again: "How long will you stay in Shenshi this time?"
Zhang Ren said he was not sure, "Maybe he will leave soon, or he may have to stay forever."
Chu Zhou picked up his water glass and took a sip of water.
Qu Yanning subconsciously felt that their atmosphere was a little weird, hugged the cat and said cowardly, you haven't finished your meal yet, I'll make some supper.Then he quickly hid in the kitchen.
Zhang Ren clenched his fingers, looked at Chu Zhou with a cold expression on the opposite side, and said, "I went to Aunt Zhuang's place before I came, and she and the children are very good,"
Chu Zhou finally gave him the first straight look after entering the door and said, "Thank you."
Zhang Ren said, "Don't be so polite,"
Chu Zhou lowered his eyes and said yes.
"..." Zhang Ren moved slightly, swallowed what he wanted to say, and just put the bag next to him on the coffee table, "Aunt Zhuang asked me to bring this to you."
Chu Zhou took the things over, still staring at the phone and not talking much.
Zhang Ren was silent for a while, said he still had something to do, and left first. Before Qu Yanning could keep anyone, Zhang Ren waved his hand and went out.
Qu Yanning sat next to Chu Zhou and asked him what was going on.
Chu Zhou pursed his lips, saying that there was nothing wrong, and even nodded his forehead specially, warning: "Don't meddle in it."
Qu Yanning opened his eyes wide and said that he would never interfere.
After that, Zhang Ren would come over every two days, sometimes to deliver food, and sometimes to bring something interesting when he came across it.
Chu Zhou refused to take it, Zhang Ren was even more determined, put down his things and left directly, leaving Chu Zhou staring and unhappy.
Qu Yanning felt that these two people were just two saw-mouthed gourds, both of them were stuffy in their stomachs, and neither of them would speak first, he felt tired and flustered just looking at them.
Chu Zhou has become more and more addicted to games recently, as long as Qu Yanning is at home, he can hear his passionate voice.Oh, he stopped playing dungeons recently, and switched to PVP, hanging around YY all day, either collecting kills in the wild or in team battles.
That night, Chu Zhou mysteriously pulled him to the computer, and said to Qu Yanning, "Come here and I'll show you a big baby."
"What?" Qu Yanning looked over curiously. On the computer screen was the game interface. Two characters dressed in red and with big red flowers on their chests stood in the middle, surrounded by people. Brush the words of blessing.
"I have a relationship." Chu Zhou said proudly.
"Who?" Qu Yanning pointed to the screen, "This one?"
Chu Zhou nodded, "The key to being handsome and rich is not to be bored."
Qu Yanning always felt that his words meant something, but he was sensible and didn't ask, but pretended to congratulate you for finally getting out of the order.
Chu Zhou glanced at him triumphantly, asked Qu Yanning to help keep track of the time, and went to the bathroom first.
The characters in the game are all dressed in colorful clothes, and they also have blinding light effects on their bodies. Qu Yanning has never played it before, so he looked at it curiously.
A notification sound suddenly sounded in the soft background music, Qu Yanning looked subconsciously, and saw a dialogue pop up from the secret chat dialog box in the lower left corner.
[Qingqing Grassland] quietly said: Help me, I'm trapped in the game.
