At noon, he drove Xu Shuang's car to Xu... how awkward, anyway, he arrived.
"Hello? Daoist Priest."
"I saw you; I'll be there soon." After Zhao Yiqiu finished speaking, she hurriedly hung up the phone.
Saw ?
Does she also have the Purple Extre Demon Pupil?
Jiang Nian rolled down the car window and looked at the familiar farm. He had been here before, the ti when Xu Shuang was peeing.
Revisiting the old place, it felt like.....
Bang!
The sound of firecrackers went off, and he looked toward the noise. He saw Xu Yuanshan running over to pick up an iron basin.
Huh?
Isn't this my sister's car? How did it end up here... oh, it's Jiang Nian, never mind then.
In Xu Yuanshan's eyes, a symbol automatically appeared above Jiang Nian's head, the right-hand man of his sister.
Another was Zhao Yiqiu. Speak of Cao Cao, and he arrives.
"Hmm?" Just as Zhao Yiqiu was about to greet Jiang Nian, she suddenly noticed Xu Yuanshan there too, "You're not going back yet?"
"Go back for what?" Xu Yuanshan held a lighter in his hand, scratching his head, "I haven't finished lighting them yet."
"Your sister is looking for you."
"Ah!!!" Xu Yuanshan's face turned pale. After glancing around, he dashed towards the old house.
Jiang Nian poked his head out and glanced at the frantically running figure.
"What's with him?"
"No need to worry, he's about to get a beating," Zhao Yiqiu said as she got into the passenger seat, "Drive forward; I'll tell you where to stop."
"Alright."
Upstairs, Xu Shuang watched the white car co into view, then turned into the backyard, putting down the binoculars.
"Seriously, what did Qiuqiu buy?"
She felt a bit shy but fiddled with it a bit more, "It's strange, but it works quite clearly."
At this ti, Jiang Nian and Zhao Yiqiu had already entered. They wandered around the farm and entered the luxurious first floor.
The European-style decor was luxurious, but the Chinese style was indeed expensive.
Last ti Jiang Nian didn't tour much, as he was just a driver, mainly resting in a single room.
Either playing on his phone or with the dogs.
He looked around at this place, which could beco a basketball court, and the obviously expensive solid wood furniture.
For what? Such a big construction.
"Where to?"
"Wait a minute; the boss said she's coming," Zhao Yiqiu tinkered with her phone, standing idly with him.
For this, Jiang Nian expressed understanding. After all, this was soone else's ho, not an actual tourist spot.
"Then are we going to eat?"
"No," Zhao Yiqiu replied without lifting her head, "The boss says she'll take you for a walk later."
Jiang Nian: "???"
Walking?
Isn't it an actual tourist spot?
"Over here!" Xu Shuang appeared on the second floor, waving for Jiang Nian to co up, "Co with , Qiuqiu has sothing else to do."
Jiang Nian knew this was true, as Zhao Yiqiu took the keys to bring back the herbs, not staying with the two.
"Alright."
He went upstairs, ready to exchange a few words. Xu Shuang spoke first, "This place is quite big."
"Huh?"
"I an..." Xu Shuang got stuck for a mont, then explained, "The dining area is a bit far from here."
"Oh, I see," Jiang Nian understood. Rich families have big houses, and bathtubs too.
This particular thing was recorded in the "Archives".
They went through the second floor, passing a corridor. Going downstairs, they entered an orchard.
"A lot of the fruits at ho co from this orchard,"
Xu Shuang said, gesturing to another area, "Over there are chestnut trees, peach trees, and loquat trees."
"There's a lot of variety," Jiang Nian couldn't help but comnt, "And grapevines, can they grow well?"
Xu Shuang nodded, "Yes, there's soone to take care of them."
They walked towards a flower garden, but the flowers inside had been uprooted. It looked a bit odd, but Jiang Nian didn't ask.
Finally, they reached a vegetable patch, where an old farr was planting vegetables.
"Grandpa."
Oh, your grandpa... huh?
Jiang Nian took a closer look, and he seed familiar. Wasn't this the sa old man smoking last ti?
Couldn't hold it back, started role-playing.
"This is Jiang Nian."
Jiang Nian: "Uh..."
The old man smiled, not saying much. He urged the two to go eat and waved them on.
"You youngsters walk fast, go ahead."
Xu Shuang was used to this, walking ahead while explaining, "He doesn't want to be seen as old."
Jiang Nian: "Hmm?"
He looked at Xu Shuang, then back at the old man, thinking while he paced that although what she said, isn't his voice a bit too loud?
They hadn't walked far, could grandpa hear them?
"It's fine, he's hard of hearing."
Is it really fine?
Jiang Nian looked astonished, glancing back once more. Xu Shuang's grandpa seed to have a slightly hurt expression.
"Ah this... really?"
"Yeah."
They switched to inside a room, eting several people of a similar age, two n and three won.
One of the n looked robust and visibly tense when visitors arrived, swapping views six tis in three seconds.
Bro, playing detective?
Shy guy.
"His na is Chen nxing, from the City Second Middle School," Xu Shuang introduced briefly, "650 points."
Going around the introductions, two of the five were from City Second Middle. The other was a girl, scoring around 690 points.
The other three, one man and two won, were from City First High School. Judging by their clothing, they didn't seem like money was an issue.
When it ca to Jiang Nian's introduction, the strongest line was still
"He scored 700 points."
The presence fell quiet for a while, all eyes on Jiang Nian, sizing him up quickly and then welcoming him warmly.
"Wow, a top student!"
"A 700-pointer, seen up close."
"Doesn't look like a 700-pointer."
Hey! (Husky pointing at human)
Who said that? Is it appearance discrimination? Do I have to grow a beard and shave my head to be worthy of a 700 score?
Once the al was finished, several people joined a group chat. Jiang Nian didn't chat much and left with others.
Zhao Yiqiu, not eating enough during the al, went back to eat so more. She was wearing gloves, peeling shrimp shells.
