The casual life of the flat space

Bai Tieying was in an extremely good mood now. She didn't care about Uncle Dafu anymore and went to the backyard to find her uncle, carrying the wine and food she bought for him.

Although Bai Tieying had just left Chunfutang, she did not return to the clinic. She wanted to visit several other shops with signboards, so she came back late. After some investigation, these shops have one thing in common, that is, the bosses have a good reputation.

Before, she heard that Chun Fu Tang was a century-old store, and thought that it had to meet this condition. But it turned out not to be the case. There was a grocery store that had been open for less than a year! The space was able to summarize this character sign for her, as if it was tailor-made for her. Isn't what she lacks now an unstable foundation?

When dealing with people, honesty is the most important thing. If people know that you are not trustworthy, they will be wary of you even if they need to continue to contact you. But now the space has solved this problem for her, because some time-honored brands don't even have plaques in the space!

Bai Tieying didn't find his uncle in the main hall, so he guessed that the old man was sulking in his room! So he walked to his uncle's door and said loudly: "Uncle, I'm sorry that I came back late and made you worry! I will tell you where I'm going next time! Don't be angry with me, or you can beat Tiexiong to vent your anger?"

"Why would I beat him? I want to beat you!"

"That's no problem! Wait for me to put down the Mengyao wine! Don't let it break or it will go to waste. I went to buy it but they wouldn't sell it to me, so I asked a kind uncle to bring it to me!"

The door creaked open by the doctor. When the uncle saw the wine in Bai Tieying's hand, his eyes lit up. Then he walked to the dining table in the main hall with his hands behind his back and sat down in a formal manner.

Bai Tieying quickly put the food and wine in place, went to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks, poured wine for his uncle, raised the glass respectfully and said, "Uncle, I was wrong! I won't do it again!"

"Hmph!" The uncle snorted coldly, but also reached out to take the cup.

After taking a sip of wine, the uncle stroked his beard and said, "Can you tell me what you've been doing now?"

Bai Tieying looked mysterious, looked around and said, "Uncle, after I came back from there, I found that I had some magical powers."

Uncle didn't reply, but just raised his eyebrows, and then slowly put the wine glass on the table. Seeing this, Bai Tieying quickly picked up a piece of food for Uncle, "Uncle, try this, I heard it's a new dish, especially good with wine."

"Uncle, how should I put it? I seem to be able to see the aura on some store signs, so I tried to figure out what this aura is."

"Don't tell me to keep half and half, it'll keep people on suspense."

"Ah! No, no, I just don't know how to describe it... I went around each store and found that they all had one thing in common, that is, the bosses all had a very good reputation!"

"Oh? Interesting."

"Hey, uncle, can you help me think about what's going on?"

"Didn't you tell me to drink more, eat more meat, and not care about anything else?"

"Uncle, my dear uncle! You can't ignore me!" Bai Tieying said, shaking his uncle's arm.

"Hey hey hey! I'm eating vegetables!"

"Hey, I'll buy you more food if you run out of it. You have to take care of me, my dear niece!"

"Okay, I'll take care of it, I'll take care of it, let go!" Uncle took a bite of the food and continued,

"According to what you said, I thought of a possibility. We herbalists believe that people have 'original qi', which is the innate foundation of a person. And when people eat grains, they will produce 'zong qi', which is the acquired qi. I won't tell you about the other things in detail. And these 'qi' have the functions of consolidating, supporting and warming people.

What you are doing is a bit like our 'observation of qi'. Some of us have studied this aspect, but I am not good at it. Is the 'qi' you see the same as our 'observation of qi'?"

"What you said is very likely! But I can only see the word 'qi' on a part of the plaque."

"Haha, isn't that enough?"

"Hehehe, you're right, I was greedy!"

"Stop giggling. I'm tired of looking at you. Go back to your room and go to sleep!"

"By the way, Uncle, how can I contact General Li today?"

"Why did you contact him? Don't you think your crying isn't embarrassing enough?"

"No, uncle, can you forget this? I negotiated a deal with Zhang, the shopkeeper of Chunfutang, but he is in trouble now, so I want to help him get in touch with me."

"Well, in just one day you've transformed from a slug into a monkey that dares to touch a tiger's butt. Congratulations!"

"Uncle..."

"That's easy. Go to the Zhiyin Restaurant and book a private room first, then ask someone to write a visiting card and send it over. It's up to them whether they come or not. By the way, before you do these things, go buy some clothes to look presentable, otherwise you won't be allowed in, let alone book a private room!"

"Hey! Okay! Thank you for your advice, uncle!"

"Go, go quickly, don't delay me from drinking."

"I wish you will meet the fairy in your dream tonight! Hahahaha!"

Bai Tieying left with a smile, and went back to her room and threw herself on the bed. This day, she walked, cried, ate, ate, talked, talked... That's it - she was really tired!

"It turns out that life in Xianhe Village is simple and happy!" Bai Tieying suddenly felt that he didn't dislike life in the village so much. "I don't know how Little Potato spent the day. I hope he doesn't miss me too much. Well, go to sleep and start shopping tomorrow!"

"Oh, right! Brother Gyrfalcon hasn't come yet! He's called Aoying, and I'm called Aoying!"

At the second watch, the Northern Army Headquarters.

"General, half an hour ago, a gyrfalcon landed in Doctor Bai's clinic and caught a few small animals. Since then, it has been flying back and forth for three quarters of an hour. A quarter of an hour ago, the bird pecked at the door with its beak. Bai Tieying moved all of them into the room and it has not appeared since." General Li reported.

"Bai Tieying... what a fortuitous encounter! Well, order the surveillance personnel to be withdrawn. Also, continue to thoroughly investigate the cause of the Ninth Prince's injury."

"Yes, sir." General Li accepted the order and turned to leave.

Not long after, a maid came in to report from outside the house.

"General, the guest in the study has woken up."

"Oh?" General Zhao stood up suddenly and walked quickly towards the study.

"General Zhao, unidentified people from Lan Country have sneaked into Yu Country, and they are supported by spies!" Mu Qingqiu said attentively after seeing General Zhao, and his words made General Zhao horrified.

"Ninth Prince, please be patient. This matter concerns the fate of our country. I will go all out to find the spy and protect the safety of our country!"

Then, Mu Qingqiu told the story of the enemy he had discovered before and what happened this morning.

Previously, he had noticed an unknown person from Lan Country sneaking into the Yubei Mountains. In order to find out his purpose, he followed him for nearly ten days. But the person seemed to be aware that someone was following him, so Mu Qingqiu set up an ambush in the back mountain of Xianhe Village before him. But after two days, he still didn't see the person, so he had to go back and look for his trace again. Finally, he found his trace again yesterday, so he did the same thing and rushed to the city gate to wait this morning.
