Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

"That's not a pattern, it's a word."

Zheng Tong's vague words made Gu Mingdong's face change.

"What's the word?" Gu Mingdong asked.

Zheng Tong seemed to be drunk again, and closed his eyes in a daze.

Gu Mingdong couldn't tell whether he was really drunk or was making fun of him on purpose, so he reached out and patted his cheek: "Old man, don't whet your appetite."

Zheng Tong seemed to wake up a little bit, looked at him and said: "Use the sky as the furnace, the earth as the cauldron, and the human flesh as the sacrifice, so you can live in peace."

After saying this, Zheng Tong tilted his head and fell into a complete coma.

Gu Mingdong frowned, he could still barely understand the first three sentences, what the hell is it, fighting for four?Steamed to death?

Anyway, after much deliberation, Gu Mingdong didn't think it was a good word.

He couldn't help but look up at the mountain forest. He had a hunch that he could find the answer in the mountain, and even answer the relationship between the last days and this world. An urgent desire surged in his heart.

On New Year's Eve, Gu Mingdong couldn't feel at ease.

After his family fell asleep, he couldn't restrain the impulse in his heart, and set off from the backyard into the forest. This time he used his supernatural power and walked very fast.

In less than a moment, Gu Mingdong got into the deep forest and set foot on a place he had never set foot on before.

Even though he had seen that lake in his dream, Gu Mingdong could only recognize a reluctant direction and could only follow his sixth sense.

I don't know how long I walked, there was no sun this night, but Gu Mingdong's night vision ability is excellent, it does not hinder him from moving forward, but the closer he gets to the deep forest, a sticky cold feeling sticks to his skin, lingering .

The sense of crisis forced Gu Mingdong to continue to go deeper, but the discomfort in his body became more and more intense, and his abilities became even more agitated, pulling him to leave this uncomfortable place.

Gu Mingdong frowned, even though he was in the end of the world in his previous life and had low abilities, this little guy had never been so cowardly.

There is definitely something wrong with this place.

However, no matter how carefully he inspected it, it was just an ordinary forest, and what I had to say was that there were few birds in the forest, and even the chirping of insects was negligible.

Until dawn, Gu Mingdong knew that he would attract attention if he didn't go back, but he still couldn't find the sapphire blue lake in his dream.

Before walking out of the forest, Gu Mingdong felt something in his heart, and turned his head to look at the strange forest.

From the outside to the inside, there is nothing abnormal except that the trees are extremely dense and the light is dimmer than ordinary forests.

Gu Mingdong frowned, he worked all night and got nothing, so he could only suppress the suspicion in his heart.

When he got home, everyone in the family had already woken up. When Gu Mingnan saw him, he asked, "Brother, where did you go so early in the morning?"

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. According to Shanghe Village, they will not travel far except for New Year's greetings.

Gu Mingdong responded: "I couldn't sleep in the morning, so I went for a walk in the back mountain."

"There is still snow now, it's dangerous to go up the mountain, next time you call me to go with you." Gu Mingnan said something, but he didn't take it to heart.

After several years, the children in the production team now know that every year, the old Gu's family is the most generous. Not only can they get candy when they come to the door, but if they go early and are lucky, they can also get biscuits.

Just after breakfast, children came to the door, jumping around excitedly.

Gu Mingdong did not disappoint them. Not only did they have melon seeds, peanuts and candies, but also snacks brought back from Beijing. He had brought a lot of small twists before, and now they just happened to share them with the children.

Listening to the children's laughter, Gu Mingdong's depression of the night dissipated quite a bit.

The twins took Gu Yun with them, and soon joined the group of children paying New Year's greetings.

"Second brother, look at the door, I'll go in and lie down for a while." Gu Mingdong confessed, and went into the room to make up for it.

Gu Mingnan naturally had no objection.

On the contrary, Gu Sanmei looked at the elder brother's back, and asked in a low voice: "Second brother, do you feel that elder brother is not very happy?"

Gu Mingnan asked strangely: "Where are you unhappy, didn't you just smile?"

"Brother just got up too early, and he's tired now. Anyway, there's nothing to do during the Chinese New Year. He can sleep as long as he wants."

"Really...Maybe I'm thinking too much." Gu Sanmei thought about it for a while, and things are going smoothly at home recently, so there shouldn't be anything bothering her.

Little did he know that there was a wall across the place, as soon as Gu Mingdong closed his eyes, the stench of zombies filled his nose, as if he had returned to that desperate and sad world.

In his sleep, Gu Mingdong couldn't help frowning, obviously he didn't sleep very peacefully.

Seeing that the master was trapped, the supernatural power was a little anxious, but unfortunately it didn't work.

Just when the supernatural power was at its wit's end, the small incense burner placed under the bed rose into the air, enveloping Gu Mingdong in it.

Soon, a trace of silver halo dispelled the black mist, and the ability knew that it had swallowed so much black mist before, thinking it had won a complete victory, but in fact left the root of the disease.

Gu Mingdong's two fevers were the result of the black mist, and not all of them were caused by the weakness of his abilities.

Fortunately, he kept the small incense burner by his side, which unexpectedly solved the harm.

Gu Mingdong stretched his eyebrows on the bed, and the small incense burner returned to its ordinary appearance.He fell on the edge of his pillow, and nothing seemed to happen.

The ability didn't understand what happened, but only knew that the master was safe, so he retracted into Gu Mingdong's body.

Gu Mingdong slept until the afternoon, and when he woke up again, he felt refreshed and full of energy.

After returning from Beijing, the hidden exhaustion in the body has completely disappeared, and even the brain has become much clearer, unlike before, always thinking about things that have not happened in the future.

Walking out of the room, Gu Mingnan smiled as soon as he saw his eldest brother: "Brother, you really slept for a long time."

Gu Mingdong looked at the sun: "It seems that you can't drink alcohol in the future."

"It's a rare Chinese New Year, it's okay to sleep a little longer." Gu Sanmei looked at her elder brother's radiant face, and felt that she really thought too much.

In the generation of the old Gu family, there is no daughter-in-law who needs to go back to her natal family, and no daughter is married, except for Gu Xiuxiu who came back on the second day of the lunar new year, but there is a lot of lack of human contact.

After breaking up with the uncle's family, the old Gu's family felt more at ease.

Now as long as you go to Gu Sanshu's house to visit relatives, and then take gifts and walk with a few elders in the production team, everything else is gone.

Gu Mingdong and the others were also happy and relaxed. During the Chinese New Year, they tossed and ate all day. In just a few days, they ate a lot of fat from childhood to adulthood. Even the two sisters who had always been slender had round faces, let alone the twins. The figure is all chubby.

As the future son-in-law, Gu Mingnan went to Qian's house with gifts on the second day of the new year. Master Qian and his wife were the mother-in-law watching the son-in-law.

After eating delicious food, Gu Mingnan's mouth was also sweet, coaxing the old couple into laughing.

The neighbors in the neighborhood could hear the laughter of the Qian family, and when they left, they came over to joke: "Old Qian, your daughter has been dating for two years, when will they get married?"

Master Qian was stunned: "The child has his own ideas, so don't worry about this matter."

"Hey, how can you not be in a hurry, your daughter is almost [-], and she has a similar partner. Others have finished giving birth to such an older child."

Master Qian was also anxious in his heart, but he couldn't say it, and said: "Nowadays, everyone calls for starting a career first and then starting a family. We have to respond to the policy."

The neighbor said: "That can't delay the important events of life."

"Old Qian, you two need to hurry up. I heard that the girl from the downstairs family talked about a partner. After talking for three years, they broke up. She has nothing to do with her partner, but she can still get along well with a girl's family in the future?"

Master Qian smiled and dealt with it.

After closing the door, Qian's mother also became worried: "I know that Anan is a good person, and he will definitely not give up from beginning to end, but Lao Qian, the two children don't care, do we really need to be urged?"

It's not very good for the woman to talk about the object.

Especially like downstairs, after talking for three years and breaking up, it will be difficult for that girl to find again.

Even though Qian's mother loves her daughter, she still thinks it's time to get married when the conversation is almost done. If she misses this one, it will be difficult to find a man with a good job, good looks, and good temper.

Master Qian murmured: "How can we open our mouths about this matter, we must not make Anan feel that we are in a hurry to marry our daughter."

Mother Qian suggested: "Why don't we go to Shanghe Village and talk to his eldest brother."

When the couple put it together, they both felt that it was okay.

So on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the couple rode bicycles, carrying gifts, and came to the door with their daughter.

The brothers and sisters of the old Gu family were eating melon seeds, and Gu Liangxing ran home, shouting, "Dad, my second aunt is here."

"Who?" Gu Mingdong was taken aback for a moment.

Gu Erdi had already jumped up and shouted in surprise: "Xiaoru?"

Master Qian pushed the cart into the door, and the people sitting behind were Qian's mother and Qian Xiaoru. The Qian family and his wife were all smiling, but Qian Xiaoru's cheeks were flushed.

Gu Mingdong got up quickly: "Master Qian is here, come in quickly."

While entertaining, he asked his sister to get things for entertaining guests.

Gu Sanmei usually choked with her second child, but now she reacted faster than anyone else. She turned around and entered the door. When she came out again, she was holding a red box full of melon seeds, peanuts and candies, and pressed a few more. Apples and dessert.

Gu Simei also came in to make tea. This tea was not ordinary tea, but smoked bean tea made from orange peel, sesame seeds, tea leaves and smoked beans.

This kind of smoked bean tea is very cumbersome to make and requires a lot of things. At this time, it is the highest level of hospitality.

If it weren't for Gu Mingdong's favorite drink, the old Gu's family might not be able to have smoked edamame grown at home.

Except for Gu Xiuxiu and Gu Sanshu who can drink a glass when they come to the door, Gu Simei is reluctant to take it out when others come to the house, but now they have three full cups, which contain more ingredients than boiling water.

Mother Qian laughed when she saw the tea, and she was even more satisfied when she looked at the plate full of dim sum.

In the past few years, she has figured it out that Gu Mingnan was born in an ordinary way, but his family is full of reasonable people, so it is definitely not unclear. To be able to put up such a battle today, it is obvious that they also value their family Xiaoru.

Mother Qian took a sip of tea and couldn't help boasting: "This tea is good, it smells really good."

Gu Mingnan laughed when he heard this: "Master, if you like to drink, take some away later."

Hearing this, Qian's mother subconsciously looked at the brothers and sisters of the old Gu's family, seeing that they all had smiles on their faces, and they were not disgusted, and their hearts were full of peace.

Master Qian and Qian Xiaoru were not so careful.

The former is fairly familiar with Gu Mingdong, and they have already chatted happily.

The latter was the first time to come to the door after being formally married, his cheeks were flushed all the time, and he was drinking tea with his head down.

After drinking tea for a while, Mother Qian said with a smile: "We are talking, and the children are bored listening to it, so let them go for a walk."

As soon as Gu Mingdong heard this, he knew they had something to say, nodded and said, "A'nan, take Xiaoru around."

Gu Mingnan asked strangely: "What's so interesting now..."

The next moment, Gu Sanmei gave him a push: "Hurry up."

Gu Mingnan seemed to understand, but he still led Qian Xiaoru away very obediently. Gu Liangxing blinked his big eyes and wanted to follow, but was grabbed by Gu Sanmei.

From the bottom of her heart, she was convinced by these uncles and nephews, why couldn't they look at each other better than the other.

Gu Mingnan felt that there was really nothing to see outside. The snow had basically melted a few days ago, not to mention the muddy roads, and the scenery of the field gate in the mountains was also very faded.

He looked at Qian Xiaoru, and then his eyes fell on her little leather shoes: "Why don't we just walk around the village, or your shoes will be useless."

Qian Xiaoru looked down at her shoes, and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, just wipe the shoes if they are dirty."

Although it was only a few days since she saw her, Qian Xiaoru felt that she missed her very much. Now she understood why the ancients said that seeing each other every day was like three autumns. Thinking of her parents' intention of coming, Qian Xiaoru only felt her cheeks getting hotter.

Gu Mingnan glanced at her, and asked worriedly, "Why is your face so red, is it the cold wind blowing?"

Before Qian Xiaoru could react, Gu Mingnan said, "I see, you must be shy, Xiaoru, we are so familiar, so don't be shy."

Qian Xiaoru was so angry with him that she didn't know where the courage came from, so she stretched out her hand and hit him.

This time the blow was solid, and the sound of a slap surprised her.

"I, I didn't do it on purpose." Qian Xiaoru turned pale.

But Gu Mingnan didn't care, instead he said with a smile: "It's okay, you don't have much strength to hit someone, it's like scratching an itch."

For a moment Qian Xiaoru didn't know whether to be angry or relieved, she snorted and stopped talking.

Gu Mingnan saw that she was silent, so he secretly pinched her fingertips, and finally there was a tender and sweet atmosphere. Gu Laoer didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly suggested: "Xiaoru, they must be whispering behind our backs." , let’s sneak back and listen.”

It was an accident just now, but now Qian Xiaoru really wants to pick up a wooden stick and hit the wooden fish on the head.

In an instant, she and Gu Sanmei resonated.

"Would you like to go? I'll take you on a small path, so you won't be discovered." Gu Mingnan suggested.

Qian Xiaoru glanced at him: "No need to go, I know what they are talking about."

Gu Mingnan looked at her in surprise: "Why didn't you tell me if you knew?"

Qian Xiaoru blushed: "What should I say?"

"Just say no, we have nothing to say about our relationship." Gu Mingnan expressed.

Qian Xiaoru became angry from embarrassment: "Then what do you think we are related to each other?"

Gu Mingnan realized that she was a little angry, but couldn't figure out why she was angry. He rubbed his nose and said, "It's about being in a relationship with a partner. We will definitely get married in the future. That relationship is not much stronger than being a brother."

Qian Xiaoru's face softened, Gu Mingnan always had the ability to make her anxious, and there was one sentence that made her happy.

Pursing her lips and snickering, Qian Xiaoru snorted coldly and said, "You're smart."

However, Gu Mingnan was thinking about the secret that everyone else knew: "So what's going on?"

Qian Xiaoru deliberately didn't tell him: "Hmph, I won't tell you, you can ask Brother yourself when the time comes."

Gu Mingnan was very helpless, but even if Qian Xiaoru didn't open his mouth, he had no choice but to wonder in his heart.

When Qian Xiaoru saw him scratching his ears and cheeks, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

She also finds it strange, obviously this guy is sometimes very dull, what he does and what he says makes people feel annoyed, but she just likes it.

But she wouldn't say it herself, otherwise, wouldn't it seem like she was in a hurry to get married?

Gu Mingnan had no choice but to take Qian Xiaoru around the village, which was spotted by many people.

When someone asked, Gu Mingnan said openly that this was my date, and made Qian Xiaoru blush, but he didn't deny it.

After walking around, the production team of Shanghe Village knew that Gu Mingnan's partner had come to visit the house, and they all speculated whether a good thing was coming for them, otherwise the woman could not come to the door.

On the other end, Gu Mingdong left Master Qian's family of three to eat, and the Gu family sisters all showed their housekeeping skills, so that the three of them ate to their hearts' content.

When the people finally left, Gu Mingnan hurriedly asked: "Brother, what did you guys say?"

Gu Mingdong patted his younger brother on the back earnestly: "Second brother, have you two been dating for two years?"

"Not two years, more than a year." Gu Mingnan emphasized.

Gu Mingdong asked again: "Then when do you plan to get married?"

Gu Mingnan was taken aback, his eldest brother has always been open-minded, and never cared about these things: "I haven't thought about it yet."

Gu Mingdong really didn't plan to urge his younger brother, but when Master Qian and his wife mentioned it today, he realized that he couldn't do without urging.

The customs are different these days. Both parties will meet each other, and they will get married and have children soon. Otherwise, it will be bad for the woman after a long time, and it is easy to spread some rumors.

"Second, if you keep thinking like this, the Qian family will have to think more." Gu Mingdong said helplessly.

Gu Mingnan was a little confused: "What are you thinking about?"

Suddenly, he stood up abruptly: "Could it be that Xiaoru's parents disagree? Impossible, when I visited as a guest two days ago, they even cooked me a table of delicious dishes, which made me full gone."

Gu Sanmei supported her forehead beside her: "Second brother, are you a fool?"

Gu Mingnan was in a hurry: "Where did I not do well? Did I eat too much, or did I talk too much? Xiaoru didn't tell me just now."

Gu Mingdong asked: "Second brother, do you plan to spend the rest of your life with Xiaoru?"

Gu Mingnan nodded and said: "That's for sure, talking to someone who doesn't aim to get married is playing hooligans."

"Then when do you plan to get married?" Gu Mingdong asked again.

Gu Mingnan snapped his fingers and asked: "I have to make money first, earn money to build a new house, build a new house and then build it three times, and I have to collect some dowry, otherwise how can I have the nerve to marry someone else's daughter."

This big breath shocked Gu Mingdong.

He didn't expect his younger brother to have such a plan, but the plan was too far away.

Gu Sanmei couldn't help but said: "Second brother, don't talk about a new house, do you know how much it costs for three turns and one sound? Tickets for things like money are also hard to come by. Our family has only bought a bicycle over the years. , Don’t you want to buy it? That means you have no money and no ticket.”

"You have a new house, and you have to pay for the dowry. Do you want Sister Xiaoru to wait until she is 30?"

Who doesn't want it after three turns and one sound, but looking at this Xiyuan Town, few people can afford it.

However, Gu Mingnan counted with his fingers: "How can I wait until I'm 30? You see, my monthly salary is 31. Even if I use up 21 yuan, I can still save [-] yuan."

"It's 21 yuan a month, 252 yuan a year, 756 yuan in three years, 1260 yuan in five years, and the new house and the three-turn-one-ring are all coming out."

It has to be said that Gu Mingnan calculated quite carefully.

Gu Sanmei twitched the corner of her mouth: "So you want Miss Xiaoru to wait until she is 25?"

"Do you know what the people around Miss Xiaoru will say after another five years?"

"What will you say?" Gu Mingnan turned around and understood a little, but he still didn't care, "Brother has already said it, don't care what others say, when we get married, others will only be envious."

Gu Sanmei didn't know what to say for a moment.

Gu Mingdong also sighed, secretly thinking that what he said didn't mean that.

He thought for a while and asked, "Second brother, have you discussed your thoughts with Xiaoru?"

"Is this still negotiable?" Gu Mingnan asked strangely.

Gu Mingdong said: "If you don't tell me how Xiaoru knows, you keep dragging her thinking you won't marry her, what if one day you won't have sex with you?"

"How is it possible, Xiaoru likes me so much, she listens to me in everything." Gu Mingnan was rather proud.

Gu Mingdong added: "Even if she is willing to listen to you, you are not the only one who can make decisions about marriage. It is a matter for two people. You should discuss it with her first."

In fact, Gu Mingdong thinks that it is not too late to get married at 25, but obviously the people around him don't think so.

If they had to wait another five years as they wanted to take care of Mingnan, Master Qian and his wife would probably go crazy.

Gu Mingnan hesitated.

Gu Mingdong continued to say: "Think about it, today we will push you away to talk, and you are scratching your head and wanting to know at such a short time, can you hide the abacus in your heart for five years?"

"Since you are planning to get married, then Xiaoru is already half of the family, and everything the family wants to do must be negotiated, and you can't make the decision alone."

Gu Mingnan was a little disappointed and said, "Did I do something wrong again?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Gu Sanmei aggrievedly: "The third child said that I don't know how to please girls, and I always do annoying things, and also said that if I want Xiaoru to like me, I have to make some romantic surprises from time to time."

"Hey, I still plan to hold back a big move, so that Xiaoru will never forget it."

Gu Mingdong looked at him inexplicably, and thought to himself that you have held back your big move for too long, are you really afraid that your wife will run away?

But he could tell that Gu Mingnan definitely liked Qian Xiaoru very much, that's why he made such a nonsensical thing.

Gu Mingdong couldn't help looking at Gu Sanmei.

Gu Sanmei was blown up: "It's not me!"

"Brother, I didn't give him such a strange idea."

Gu Sanmei only felt that the blame had fallen from the sky, so why did it end up being her fault?

Gu Mingdong patted his younger brother's shoulder earnestly: "Second brother, don't keep thinking about holding back big moves in the future, it's better to discuss with Xiaoru more than anything else."

Not yet married, Gu Mingdong felt a little sympathetic to his future younger siblings. The second child thought about it all the time, and it was really a challenge to live with him.

Gu Mingnan slapped his forehead: "Brother is right, I'll go find her."

After talking about launching the bicycle, he chased after him, and disappeared on Hot Wheels.

Gu Sanmei was speechless, and exchanged a glance with her elder brother: "Is the second brother lacking a muscle? He's not like this usually."

If it wasn't for his good brain, would Gu Mingnan be admitted as a first-class repairman?Why are you being stupid when it comes to men and women?

Gu Mingdong laughed instead: "It seems that our family is going to have a happy event."
