to blame

Ming Xia took advantage of the time in the hospital to add, subtract, and subtract an outline of the lecture content, and asked Nanjiang to hand it over to the senior management of the "sixth group".

Because he had to wait for the news, Ming Xia was free at once.

Nanjiang mentioned to him that he will need to frequently enter and leave the Xishan formation for a period of time, and the work he is doing will also require frequent communication with the person in charge of the "sixth group", so the action team will help him apply for a room at the station. dormitory.

Ming Xia plans to take advantage of the few days when he has nothing to do, go back to the city to pack his luggage, and meet his teacher Wen Liang by the way.

On the day Ming Xia was discharged from the hospital, Tu Qing drove over to pick him up.The two of them hadn't been separated for a long time, but when they met, Ming Xia didn't feel anything, but Tu Qing was stunned.

After going through such a toss, Ming Xia visibly lost a lot of weight.Once a person is thinner, he will appear taller and straighter, and the outline of the whole person will be more distinct.

The baby fat on his face has also completely disappeared.Cheekbones and jaw lines appear to have been calcined, soft textures become hard and angular.Feiyang Tiaotuo, who was originally full of youthful spirit, disappeared in the blink of an eye, and was replaced by a calmness that made him feel very strange.

Ming Xia looked at him inexplicably, "What's the matter?"

Tu Qing felt that as soon as he spoke, the familiar feeling returned, and he was still the Ming Xiaoliu in his memory.He looked him up and down, his eyes paused on the scarf around his collar.

"Besides the water scorpion? What else did you meet?" Tu Qing frowned, "This injury..."

Ming Xia wondered if he felt something, but could he tell him these things?Although Tu Qing is a demon, he is not a member of the "Sixth Group" after all.

Ming Xia sighed, "You and Bi Lao and the others entered the mountain, and what did you encounter?"

Tu Qing lowered his eyes, hiding a trace of disappointment in his eyes.He suddenly realized the distance between the two of them. He could let Ming Xia know about his past experience, but he couldn't ask about Ming Xia's experience.

"If you get beaten, what else can you do?" Tu Qing said mockingly: "A group of old monsters wanted to get into the big formation to investigate the seal of the water clan, but they encountered troubles that they couldn't handle themselves. Go in vertically, come out horizontally... …is such a shame.”

"What's the trouble?" Ming Xia asked him, "Water ant?"

"Being chased and beaten by them all the time, it's not impossible to resist." Tu Qing said: "Later, I met a very powerful man in the south of 'Nine Mu Umeda'. None of us are his opponents."

Ming Xia thought of the water squirrel flying down from the top of the mountain menacingly, and felt sorry for him, "Who is it?"

Tu Qing shook his head, "Our ability is not as good as his, so he can see our real body, but we can't find out his details. Moreover, this person has a very bad temper, and he will fight every time he disagrees."

Tu Qing spread his hands, "You saw it too, we were all sent to the hospital by him later."

"You still don't know what kind of monster he is? Nanjiang and the others don't know either?" Ming Xia felt incredible, he always thought that all the good-looking guys in the Xishan Great Formation had been registered.

Tu Qing shook his head, "Whether they know it or not, I don't know. It's impossible for me, a commoner, to know about the work of suppressing demons. It's you... Are you so happy?"

Ming Xia raised his head and looked at the clear sky above his head, feeling that the sunshine in the real world was bright, and it was really different from the smoggy sky in the big formation.

"I don't know either." Ming Xia shook his head, "I can't tell, I just think...Let me forget the experience here for now, go back to my workshop and continue to do research, I will feel that there is something missing in my life. What."

Tu Qing sighed, turned around and opened the car door for him, "I hope you don't meddle in it. Dealing with monsters is not so easy to do, and you don't know when you will die. Think about it yourself. "

Ming Xia nodded solemnly, "I know, I will seriously consider it."

I have already considered it and made a decision, so let's not say it for the time being.Ming Xia thought to himself, Tu Qing's reaction was really unusual, and if he said it, it might irritate him.

With his back turned to him, Tu Qing said in a suppressed voice, "Not only will I die, but I will also implicate others."

Ming Xia, "..."

He seemed to have touched something extraordinary hidden in Tu Qing's heart.

However, the gaffe was only a momentary thing, and Tu Qing quickly changed the subject, "Go to your unit first? Have you greeted your teacher? Is he there?"

Ming Xia followed him and changed the topic, "Yes, I made the call."

Tu Qing patted the steering wheel thoughtfully, "I remember his name is Wen Liang? This name... I really want to hear it somewhere. Is he a human or a demon?"

Ming Xia spread her hands, "I want to know too."

"Then don't rush to ask." Tu Qing told him, "Don't care what he is, if you ask, it won't have a good impact."

Ming Xia nodded repeatedly.

Facts have proved that even if you are a pro-apprentice, even if you call in advance, it is difficult to guarantee the result against a guy like Wen Liang who does not play cards according to common sense.

Ming Xia worked hard to climb upstairs, only to find that the door of the warm and cool workshop was locked, and in the next workshop, senior brother Lu Kai was leading a group of assistants to process parts.Lu Kai was so busy that he didn't have time to talk to him, so he sent a message for Wen Liang, telling him to go as far as he could, and Wen Liang would call him to come over to work when something happened.

Ming Xia went downstairs dejectedly. Just as he got into the car, Lu Kai called again and said anxiously: "The teacher also explained a few words, which I forgot to say just now."

Ming Xia hastened to listen attentively.

"The teacher told you not to think so much, just agree to other people's work, and just work hard. We'll talk about the troublesome things after he has passed." Lu Kai thought for a while, and added, "The teacher said that some Work moved to the old town, do you know about this?"

Ming Xia was stunned, "Really?"

He remembered that before the mission, Nanjiang came to invite him in person, and Wen Liang said harshly, saying that he would never set foot in the old city. It's only been less than a month, so why did he change his mind?

Lu Kai said with certainty: "It's true, many things in his office have been packed."

Ming Xia hurriedly asked, "What's the opinion from the company?"

Lu Kai thought for a while, "What advice do they have? Originally, there is no need for the teacher's workplace to be set up in the company. People come and go, which is not conducive to keeping technology secret."

"What happened recently?" He asked Lu Kai, "What did someone ask the teacher for?"

Ming Xia feels that there must always be a reason for a person's opinion to change, and Wen Liang is not crazy, he will never just say no, then turn around and overturn what he said.

"I didn't see anyone coming, or did someone call?"

Ming Xia also felt that it was impossible for Lu Kai to follow Wen Liang 24 hours a day, so he had to ask Nan Jiang about this matter.

"Are you following?" Ming Xia asked him.

"I don't know." Lu Kai said: "However, where you are now, I guess it is between the teacher, me and the second child, and there must be another one."

Ming Xia didn't get any news and left the company in a daze.

The next stop is Ming Xia's grandparents' house.

I'm afraid he will stay in the old town for a while, and he will come over to say hello.

Grandma Ming saw that Tu Qing had followed her, she couldn't close her mouth with a smile.Although the Ming family has a lot of grandchildren, there are not many grandson-in-laws who suit her old man's wishes so well.Tu Qing not only has a good personality, but also has a sweet mouth. Every time he comes to the house, he can coax the old couple into joy.

Ming Xia sometimes thinks that it's not unreasonable to confuse people with gossip.This monster can speak better than ordinary people.

Of course, there are also some obvious reasons for this.She grew up beside her grandparents since she was a child, and her personality is too lively, she has been like a tomboy since she was a child.Grandma Ming was not less worried about her lifelong event, and she was even worried that she would not find a boyfriend.

Fortunately, God has arranged for such a blind mouse.Not only do I like Mingming's appearance, but I also like Mingming's fierce character, where do you find such a good thing?Grandma Ming naturally wants to win over this not-so-intelligent young man for her granddaughter, and try to keep his heart with the warmth of the family.

Grandma Ming is getting old, and her eyesight is not good.Ming Xia wore a scarf around her neck, and she also thought it was a child following the fashion, so she didn't think about the injury at all.She always thought that Ming Xia had the flu, and was admitted to the hospital because of a fever—that's how Grandpa Ming and his second uncle teased her.

Grandma Ming kept telling the children to drink more water, take more vitamins, etc., and said that the flu is so severe now, so don't just gather together in crowded places.

What she said, Ming Xia and Tu Qing naturally agreed.

When several people were sitting in the living room and chatting, Ming Xia's second uncle came back.He probably didn't expect Ming Xia to be there, and he was stunned as soon as he entered the door.

Ming Xia and Tu Qing stood up and greeted him politely.Tu Qing knew that his second uncle didn't treat Ming Xia very well, so he actually didn't like him very much, but he was a junior in front of his second uncle, so he still had to have the attitude he should have.

The second uncle nodded in embarrassment, and then asked Ming Xia, "Is everything all right?"

"It's all good." Ming Xia said hurriedly, "It's all right. Let the second uncle worry."

The second uncle stared at the scarf around his neck, then looked away, "Come with me to the study, I have something to tell you."

Ming Xia secretly groaned in his heart.

The second uncle used to be an athlete, and he still maintains a good figure in his middle age, but he still gives people a very tall and straight feeling when he sits still.

Speaking of Ming Xia's fascination with bows and crossbows, it was still influenced by him.

Ming Xia sighed, cheered up and sat down opposite him.

The second uncle looked at him very carefully, and then looked away unnaturally, "You know about your grandfather's return to his hometown, right?"

Ming Xia nodded.

"It's been almost a week since he arrived home, and he only made two phone calls before and after." The second uncle said with a disturbed expression on his face. His work unit couldn't ask for leave, so he sent his son Mingjie to accompany Grandpa Ming back home. Thinking that after so many days, Mingjie hadn't called yet, which made him a little worried.

Fortunately, he received a letter early this morning. Mingjie explained that it was snowing heavily in Jiatun, and many villages were cut off. He sent the letter by going to a nearby town on purpose.It also shows that grandpa is very good, and his spirit is better when he returns to his hometown than when he was in Yaozhou.Only then did the second uncle feel relieved a little.

"Your grandfather wants to check the genealogy in his hometown, and then he wants to find the old man and inquire about your situation." As soon as he said that, the second uncle's expression became a little more natural, "But Mingjie said that he didn't inquire about it. It's going well, the traffic is inconvenient, the information is blocked, your grandfather is getting old, and his legs and feet will inevitably not be so agile. Mingjie doesn't know anything, and he can't count on many things."

Ming Xia also became worried after hearing what he said.He originally thought that Grandpa Ming might still want to go back to his hometown for the New Year, so he inquired about his ancestors by the way, but now it seems that Grandpa Ming attached great importance to this matter far beyond his guess.

"Can Grandpa come back?" Ming Xia asked him, "I will find a way to deal with these things."

The second uncle glanced at him, frowned and snorted, "You can solve everything by yourself, what do you want your family to do?!"

Ming Xia, "..."

Is this cared about?Ming Xia felt rather flattered.

"Mingjie said in his letter that your grandfather will go to a nearby village in two days, and that he is looking for a person who has not been recorded in the genealogy. It is probably similar to your situation."

It was said in the letter that it was two days, and based on the time when the letter arrived, Grandpa Ming had already gone to look for that person by this time.

"Is the phone still unavailable?" Ming Xia asked.

The second uncle shook his head, his expression of worry was beyond words.
