Celestial Masters Alliance

"I don't believe that two unrelated people can look exactly the same. How about I ask Aunt Li?" Xiaoba asked tentatively.

"Don't worry, we have to spend New Year's Eve together!" I sighed and continued: "I have arranged all the things in the store for Xiaosi. I will buy New Year's goods for him tomorrow and bring a copy to his house. He has helped me recently. Quite busy.”

"You and Brother Zhao Shuang go shopping for the New Year. I'll decorate the house. It's rare that there are so many people, so you have to have a New Year atmosphere, right?" Xiaoba said and stretched out his hand to me.

"Don't spend money indiscriminately. We need to prepare some cash with us when we go on a long journey!" Although I said this, my hand habitually handed the wallet to Xiaoba. Xiaodao has never been polite to me. He took out a wad of money, threw his wallet at me, and jumped to the door: "I'm going to pack fried chicken for you. I'm really tired and hungry. What else do you want to eat?" Come up."

I glanced at Mu Mu, who waved his hand: "Just like you!" Xiao Ba responded and ran out the door.

Only Mu Mu and I were left in the room. We couldn't help but look at the crystal box covered by clothes: "What do you think?" I asked Mu Mu.

He turned to look at me, but his eyes were elsewhere: "I don't know, let's talk about it after we go to the mine!" After that, he opened his clothes to reveal the crystal box, glanced at me, and put the crystal box back into his backpack. I deliberately turned my eyes to avoid looking at the head again.

In the end, there was no chance for my good news to be announced. At night, we were exhausted and fell asleep quickly. I could still feel the head in the crystal box opening its eyes.

We slept until noon the next day before getting up, had something to eat and then started to separate.

Mu Mu and I went to the crowded supermarket, and in order to get some words from Uncle Gang, I had to spend a lot of money to buy two Wuliangye and two Maotai. When I turned around, I saw that prodigal Mu Mu taking two more Nanjing Nine-Five Masters. When paying the bill, he took another bottle of Wuliangye and said, "Didn't you say yesterday not to treat Xiaosi badly?" After saying that, he took out his card at the wine counter and handed it to the cashier.

I quickly grabbed it and said, "Are you kidding? I'm here to express my condolences to my employees, and Uncle Gang. You don't need to give him any face. I'm just looking out for the face of Xiaoda and my mother." I handed over my card. , the cashier looked at us with strange eyes and asked: "Pay this?"

"Brush!" I used my boldness to cover up my bleeding heart.

The two of us stood at the entrance of the supermarket and almost turned into popsicles before the trumpet appeared. I couldn't help but say a few words to him, but he was in a good mood and didn't reply to me. After piling everything into the car, we went to the outdoor store again. Chinese New Year was coming soon. The owner of the store was posting a holiday notice and greeted us lukewarmly when he saw it. This time I want to take Shan Yu to that dangerous place, so the supplies must be sufficient.

On the way back, I told Xiaoba: "Go back to the store later. Send Xiaosi's New Year's goods to him first to give him something sweet. While we are away, let him take a good look at the store."

Xiaoba joked in the rearview mirror: "Aren't you going to give out a red envelope during the Chinese New Year? Boss?"

I smiled and hit Xiaoba on the back of the head: "Fat! Fare! Fare! Aren't you just asking me for a red envelope in disguise? Everyone has the opening bonus on the morning of the first day of the new year, so that's it!"

Xiaodao giggled and responded. My mood suddenly brightened.

"Do you have a catching net or something in your store?" Mu Mu suddenly asked.

"Yes, yes! But I haven't used it in hundreds of years, ah! By the way, I still have pepper spray! Bring it with you for safety! Anyway, if you drive out by yourself, with you and Shan Yu, no one will check us. "After that, I started muttering again, don't snakes and mice have to hibernate? However, the inside of the mine is different from the outside world! It’s better to be prepared.

My mother made several calls in a row urging us to go home. Xiaoba was particularly familiar with her mother's dark cuisine and ordered takeout at the restaurant early in the morning. We delivered New Year's goods to Xiaosi, closed the store and rushed to our mother's house.

When we arrived at my mother's house, the Spring Festival Gala had already begun. During the Chinese New Year, I decided to have a truce with Uncle Gang. Uncle Gang was not at all nervous about the trumpet. Of course, it was because of the generous gifts we brought.

Mu Mu changed from his usual appearance and became approachable. He greeted me from top to bottom, making me and Xiaoba look at each other. As soon as the food was on the table, I opened Wuliangye and Moutai in one go. Uncle Gang felt so distressed when he saw it that he couldn't help but make a tut-tsk sound in his mouth. When I toasted him, he pretended to be a teetotaler again and was so angry that he was on the verge of having an attack. Mu Mu and I kept tugging on Xiaoda's clothes and reminded him frequently.

Xiaoba knows the rules, and at the signal of me and Mumu, he went ahead as a sign of respect: "Dad! Thank you for your cultivation over the years. I am young and ignorant and often make you angry. Please don't mind if you are the prime minister. .”

Uncle Gang crossed his legs and tapped his fingers on the table. He was surprised when he heard Xiaobao say such words, but immediately returned to his usual expression: "Cultivation is out of the question, after all, neither you nor your sister is willing to listen to me. I don’t expect you to remember the kindness of raising me. After all, we are connected by blood. I can’t be angry with you. Your sister has been missing for several years since she left. She didn’t even give her a phone call during the New Year. You can still be seen, though. But he just refuses to come home to live." As he spoke, Uncle Gang glanced at me and paused. I was a little nervous, for fear that what he said next would embarrass us all.

"Oh! Forget it! I can't help it... Just take care of yourself!" Uncle Gang sighed heavily, his eyes falling on the door, where there was a pair of unworn ladies' slippers, prepared for Lin Zhengxi. Uncle Gang finally let go of his arrogance and took his first sip of wine. Although he made it clear that he was not trying to give face to any of us here, we didn't care either.

I winked and asked Xiaoba to refill his drink. Xiaoba walked to Uncle Gang and poured the wine while saying to my mother: "I haven't thanked Aunt Li for taking care of me over the years! I have to respect you two." One cup.”

Naturally, my mother didn't understand what he meant, so she picked up the wine glass and said, "I have never taken care of you. You just need to be good!" After that, she drank the wine in the wine glass proudly.

Xiaoba was a little confused when he saw this, and Mu Mu quickly said: "Uncle Gang, Auntie has already done it, are you still left behind?"

I motioned to Xiaoba, and Mumu and Xiaoba picked up the wine glasses and said to Uncle Gang, "Let's go with you."

This place was running pretty well. Once Uncle Gang started drinking, it would be much easier to persuade him. Mu Mu touched my leg with his knee, and then raised his glass to Uncle Gang: "Uncle Gang, I think your words are very pleasant, just like the school meeting on Monday."

I quickly flattered him and said, "Huh? Didn't I tell you? Uncle Gang was a principal before he retired! He was once awarded the top ten principals!"

Uncle Gang's face began to flush, and he waved his hands and said: "Where! Where!"

Xiaobao almost stifled a laugh when he heard this, but Mumu gave him a wink. He immediately held the bottle and said, "Is that right? There are more than a hundred schools in the province, and hundreds of principals are running for election! Dad! My Shi Xiao, I’ll give you a complimentary toast now. This cup is too unsatisfying. Let’s change it to a larger one. Don’t let down the good wine my brother gave you.” Then he ran to the kitchen and changed the small cup for drinking liquor into a large one for drinking water. Cup, I'm secretly glad, luckily I have to be the driver, you drink slowly.

"Uncle Gang, you have to let me toast you, because I have been a good boy since I was a child, and I especially listen to the words of the teacher and the principal!" Mu Mu spared no effort to toast Uncle Gang.

"Xiao Zhao, I heard from Ali that you were a policeman and you moved to Zhu Mo's place because you were injured to recuperate. Is your injury healed now? Is there any problem with drinking like this?" Uncle Gang's face was red, and he started to speak a little loudly. . Trumpet raised the wine bottle in his hand to indicate that one bottle had reached the bottom. I took the opened Maotai and handed it to Xiaoba, who mixed the two wines into Uncle Gang's cup.

Seeing that the fire had come, Mu Mu raised his glass and gave another toast to Uncle Gang. He patted his leg and said, "Cults are really rampant now. Those so-called believers who are instigated seem to be possessed. The leader of the cult also Each has his own name, some are called Renlitian..." Mumu deliberately held his forehead, pretending to be thinking, but in fact he was observing Uncle Gang's expression between his fingers.

Uncle Gang was obviously stunned for a moment when he heard this name, and his eyes seemed to be alert. This reaction was enough to show that Uncle Gang had heard of this person. Satisfied, Mu Mu changed the subject again: "When the leader of the cult said something, the group of people went crazy." Mu Mu shook his head and patted his legs, as if to imply that his legs were injured by the cult.

Uncle Gang politely toasted Mu Mu, Mu Mu raised his glass and drank it directly, and showed the empty wine glass to Uncle Gang, who was forced to drink all the wine in the glass.

I realized that the topic had been brought to an end, so I lightly touched Xiaoba's leg with my knee under the table. Xiaoba looked at me, and I touched the birthmark on my ear to signal him to bring the topic to tattoos. Xiaoba said knowingly: "Brother! I have photos of the two of us on my phone. I showed your photo to my female classmates at a campus party. Do you know what they said?"

"What?" I asked, leaning forward, pretending to be interested.

"They didn't notice your great beauty. They kept asking me where you got the tattoo on your ear. They all wanted to get one of the same style as yours." Xiaoba smiled a bit exaggeratedly.

"This is a birthmark, you don't know it! Speaking of tattoos, I saw a more special one on the back of Uncle Gang's neck. It seemed to be ironed on with gold." I glanced at Uncle Gang.
