"Nothing, maybe I'm dazzled." Xu Sanlei shook his head and said nothing more. The two of them went down the mountain with the old village chief. On the way, the old village chief talked about the incident when Ji Qiang led people to destroy the temple.
"Haha, speaking of which, you certainly can't believe it. How can you believe it if you haven't seen it with your own eyes? But you've all seen the Gu family's loquat tree. It grew up overnight. Now, every year, the villagers can only get a little bit of it when the family comes back. Those loquats are delicious, right?
Everyone says it's a magical fruit. I get two every year, and I feel so refreshed after eating them. The old village chief said this with great pride, as he was highly respected in the village and was able to get two every year.
In response, Old Master Xu didn't mention that he had gotten a whole jar of loquat jam at the beginning of the year! Mixing it with water and drinking a cup in the morning is really delicious.
Xu Sanlei spent ten days in Sanshi Village, going up the mountain early every day to spend the entire day at the Sanshi Niangniang Temple. Every day, he watched the village elders stroll up the mountain, some with their families, some without, always bringing offerings of fruits, incense, candles, and so on.
Whenever the old people saw him, they would chat with him and tell him about the thrilling events of those years.
When the time for leave came, Xu Sanlei returned to Kyoto and officially started his martial arts journey with Gu Yuebai.
"What have you been doing recently?" Gu Yuebai was a little shocked while teaching. Could this kid be a real martial arts genius?
"I'm back to Sanshi Village. I go to the Niangniang Temple every day. I always feel that Sanshi Niangniang likes me very much." Xu Sanlei said with some pride.
"No wonder." When Gu Yuebai heard that it was related to Niangniang Sanshi, he stopped asking.
After graduating from university, Xu Sanlei officially joined the Special Branch and saw another side of the world, a side full of mystery and wonder. As his martial arts skills improved, his temperament also became more sophisticated.
Time slowly passed, and the baby in the cradle grew into a fifteen-year-old boy.
This year is a special year, a year that marks the beginning of the century.
"Aunt, my parents won't be coming back for the New Year this year." Although Gu Buping was used to it, he still missed his parents.
"How can that be? If they don't come back this year, I'll break their legs." Gu Can stepped forward and pulled her nephew. Gu Yueming and Zhang Hui were already on their way back. She had called them early to tell them.
"Sister, can you please give me some face?" As she was speaking, the two of them came back with big and small bags.
"Hehe, don't you see what you two have done in the past few years?" Gu Can didn't even bother to look at them.
This couple is really used to being hands-off bosses. After Zhang Hui worked hard to get into university, the two of them were busy with work and studies respectively. Gu Buchang spent most of the year living back and forth between Sanshi Village and Gu Can's home.
After Zhang Hui graduated from university, Gu Yueming resigned and started his own business. The couple worked tirelessly, and they really took off. Even their son rarely saw them.
"I'm sorry, Lele, but I won't do that again. The company is stable now, and we'll be in the provincial capital more often. See if you like the gift Mom bought you." Zhang Hui also knew that Gu Can was unhappy with their neglect of Gu Buping. Because of her early life experience, when she felt that she could control her own life, she really couldn't stop.
She wanted to realize her own value too much and enjoyed the feeling of being a strong woman too much.
"Yes, Lele, it's dad's fault. I didn't think it through at the beginning and started a business, ignoring you. Now that you won't come back, can you trust dad again?" Gu Yueming also stepped forward and looked at Gu Buping.
"I'm already a big kid." Gu Buping is fifteen years old this year. He doesn't lack love, but his parents were absent from his growth, which always makes him feel a little regretful.
Gu Can got up and walked into the house to chat with her grandparents. She didn't get involved while the couple was coaxing their child.
Foreign countries were claiming that the end of the world was imminent and had sent some people with special abilities to infiltrate China in an attempt to create panic. Gu Yuebai and Xu Sanlei were so busy that even Gu Liang was temporarily recalled.
"It seems that I have been dormant for many years, and they have forgotten the horror of the Dragon God." Gu Liang lost his temper when he heard this. These people just can't live a good life!
"Dad, you should also have a crooked smile like this, it will have that flavor." Gu Can thought that the Dragon King's crooked mouth was a classic.
"I'm not the returning Dragon King!"
"Of course not, you are even more powerful, you are the Dragon God!" Gu Can laughed.
"That's right." Ji Xiaoju also laughed in a good mood.
"If I don't go home for the New Year, I'll definitely be scolded to death. I'd better let my clone go." Gu Liang knew the combat power of this world. Sending a clone would be enough to defeat those people. For most of these years, it was his clone that was active.
Gu Yuebai and his team were busy and fulfilled in catching people everywhere, while Gu Can and his team were also celebrating the New Year in a lively and joyful manner.
Gu Buping looked at his family members around him, especially his parents, and for some reason he felt like crying. He was a loved child, he could be pampered and held in the palm of his hand.
This thought came very suddenly. Although his parents were rarely with him, he was really not someone who lacked love.
"Good morning, Lele, get up and eat the dumplings!" Zhang Hui personally went to wake up Gu Buping, who had been staying up late into the night, and gently called him.
"Mom, it's so early." Gu Buping rubbed his eyes, feeling that it was still dark outside.
"You forgot, you have to get up early to worship the Three Stone Goddess. It will be too late if you don't get up now, little lazy pig."
"Mom, I'm so old." Gu Buping was very happy to be coaxed, but also a little embarrassed.
"No matter how old you are, you are still my little baby."
"Yes, no matter how old you are, you are still our baby." Gu Yueming also came over. They owed their son a lot. They couldn't make up for the past, so they had to treat him twice as well in the future.
"How can you be so cheesy? Get out now, I need to change my clothes." Gu Buping lay back in bed and said in a muffled voice.
"Okay, okay, come out quickly." Zhang Hui and Gu Yueming looked at each other, smiled and walked out of the room, and considerately helped him close the door.
After eating the dumplings, the family went up the mountain in a mighty procession.
"Have fun this year." Gu Can looked at Gu Buping who was lagging behind, and looked at Gu Yueming and Zhang Hui with a thoughtful look. He walked over to him.
"Aunt, I always feel that the current scene is so unreal." Gu Buping didn't know why he always thought so in his heart.
"Pa." Gu Can's response was to slap him directly.
"Is it real now?" Gu Can looked at him and asked sincerely. If it was still not real, she could slap him again.
Gu Buping looked at Gu Can's hand which had not been put down yet and was even eager to try.
"Grandma, Grandpa, wait for me." Gu Buping decisively chose to run away. What truth or falsehood did it matter? His aunt just wanted to find a chance to beat him up!
