Cross-border surveillance

The second batch of Ningshen Incense on the shelves has been sold out and the goods have been shipped out. Zheng Jinen, the stick man who coveted Ningshen Incense, has also been expelled from the country for unknown reasons. Everything is moving in a good direction, and Tao An feels comfortable all over.

While it was still early at noon, he simply took out the lake mud he brought back for further processing.

Although he will not be short of money when the payment for the Ningshen Xiang comes in, he doesn't like to give up halfway. The white flower dew still needs to be produced. No matter how much money you have, there will be a time when it will be in vain. A steady stream of water will last a long time.

Tao An doesn't know yet how effective the finished product of white flower dew will be. Whether it can be made is still a matter of course. Even if it succeeds, he has not yet decided whether to sell it and at what price. Let’s talk about it later.

And once it’s made, it doesn’t mean you can sell it if you want. Some testing qualification reports are bound to be available, which is also a troublesome thing. If you just put the product on the shelf for sale directly, let alone he doesn’t dare to sell it, neither will others. Buy it.

When the time comes, he plans to get tested by the county's state-mandated testing department himself, so he won't bother Zhao Shihan.

"Actually, according to the current momentum of Ningshen Xiang, I only need to make a batch every month and put it on the shelves. I should not worry about sales. With a lot of money, there is no need to create a new product like White Flower Dew. Previously, it was because of the sales of Ningshen Xiang. I’m only doing this if I don’t go out…”

While he was busy deep processing the lake mud, Tao An thought of this and quickly stopped the idea.

He suddenly realized that although Ningshenxiang was making money, it was best not to sell it for a period of time. It was not that he planned to do any hungry marketing, nor was it because he had money to sell it, but because of the momentum of this thing. It's too fierce, I have to wait and see.

Even though Mr. Luo's words were like a reassurance to Tao An, he still felt a little weak.

Now Tao An's mentality is actually a bit contradictory. He should continue to make and sell Ningshen incense. He feels guilty, so he should not do it. Mr. Luo also said that he should do more when he has time. He is in a dilemma.

What's the point? Of course the money came in too fast. It was like gold bricks falling from the sky. It was quite scary.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry. Anyway, this thing can't be made just by what you want. It's only one day in a month. I can't do much by myself. Besides, others don't know the production process. Anyway, I'm the only one who talks about it. Forget it, wait and see..."

Instead of worrying so much, he devoted himself to the deep processing of lake mud. The process was very tedious and should not be rushed.

The lump of lake mud he brought back doesn't look like much, but it's not the main material. Strictly speaking, it acts like a catalyst. If you don't make white flower dew in large quantities, you can save enough to last Tao An for a year or two. .

After two or three hours of busy work, step by step, Tao An finally sealed the lake mud powder into a bamboo tube, took it to a well dozens of meters away from home and sank it into it before it came to an end.

It only takes three days to take it out and it will be the final main material for making white flower dew. At that time, if you use a little bit, you have to seal it and put it in the water. Although you don’t have to put it in the well deliberately, you can’t leave the water for a long time. If so, the materials will change and cannot be used to make white flower nectar.

Anyway, this thing is quite particular. For Tao An, things from other worlds feel a bit mysterious after being exposed to them too much, and many things go against common sense.

He has placed bamboo tubes filled with lake mud powder for many years. It existed in Tao An’s memory when he was a child. At that time, his grandparents used to go diving in the well, but now the neighbors have moved away, and even if they don’t move away, they still use it. Running water and wells are naturally abandoned.

In order to prevent children from being naughty and damaging, Tao An also moved a large stone and placed it in the well to press the bamboo tube. The stone, which is larger than the millstone, weighs three to four hundred kilograms. Not to mention the children, it is difficult for two or three adults to move it away. First of all, as long as there is no sudden change, it should be foolproof. After all, we only have two or three days. Even if there is an accident, such as a flood or earthquake, it is God's will. You can't blame others.

After finishing the work, there were only two or three days left to make the white flower dew. It was already afternoon, and Tao An went to cook, eat and practice without stopping...

In the next two days, Tao An's life became peaceful. He only cooked, ate and practiced. When he had time, he planned the renovation design of the old house. The actual implementation would have to wait until the payment for Ning Shen Xiang's goods was received.

But in these peaceful days, Tao An felt a little worried.

Not worried about himself, nor worried about any changes in his life, but a little worried about Du Qingfeng in another world.

Since the surveillance footage showed Du Qingfeng going out because of Zhao Yang's matter that day, Tao An has not seen him again during this period. He doesn't know how he handled the matter, what the outcome will be, and whether any accidents will happen.

Tao An watched the other world surveillance these days, and there were only three apprentices of Du Qingfeng in the small courtyard. Sometimes there were two, sometimes all three were there. In addition to practicing, they were practicing, and the process was almost repetitive.

I don't know if they were also worried about their master who was away from home. As time went by, several of Du Qingfeng's disciples stopped communicating with each other and occasionally looked towards Luo City with worried expressions.

The direction they were looking at was probably Luo City, right?

Although Tao An and Du Qingfeng had nothing to do with each other and were not even acquainted, Tao An silently learned a lot from him and he would never come back. It was impossible to say that Tao An was indifferent.

It has been three days since Tao An put the lake mud into the well. The last material of Baihualu, lake mud, is ready and can be made at any time. However, Tao An is not in the mood for the time being, so he puts it aside. After all, Baihualu There are no hard requirements for the production, as long as the materials are complete, it can be done at any time.

That evening, the sky was covered with dark clouds and it was raining continuously. Tao An was sitting under the eaves, looking at the surveillance screen of another world on his mobile phone in a trance.

The small courtyard on the other side of the world was shining brightly, but there was no one there. Zhao Yang and the others had already left after practicing.

"It's been so many days, why hasn't Hall Master Du come back yet? What if he never comes back?"

Looking at the surveillance screen in a daze, Tao An twisted his hair in confusion, although he didn't know what he was struggling with.

After being dazed for a while, Tao An was about to put away his phone and find something to do to distract himself. When he saw the little boy Zhao Yang coming to the yard again in the surveillance screen, he gave up on putting away his phone.

Zhao Yang must have returned from completing his duties of sweeping the house. His little body looked a little tired. After he came back, he climbed onto the stone table in the yard to rest. He looked listless.

Silently watching Zhao Yang under surveillance, Tao An suddenly discovered that this little guy seemed to have changed a lot during this period. He had not noticed it at ordinary times. When he recalled the first time he saw him, this contrast became highlighted. .

When I first met him, the little guy was white, tender, delicate, and a little shy. Now his body has become a lot stronger, his skin is not so white, and he has grown taller. This is evident from his You can see that the clothes have become shorter, you can still see the muscles in the arms, they are not as slender and weak as before, and the eyes have become much firmer.

"We are all changing unknowingly. Strictly speaking, you and I have almost started martial arts practice together. You and I practice the same techniques. How far will we grow in the future?" Tao An thought as he looked at the surveillance screen. Said silently.

Perhaps it was because they had embarked on martial arts together, or perhaps because they had practiced with the 'same master' for a long time, Tao An's inner feelings towards Zhao Yang were different from those of Du Qingfeng's other two apprentices, Minghui and Qin Jun.

After all, both parties have the 'same experience', which is different from others.

Just when Tao An was distracted, Zhao Yang, who was listlessly climbing on the table in the courtyard of the other world, buried his head in his arms and his small body began to tremble, with a faint choking sound coming out. He was actually alone. started crying.

Seeing him like this, Tao Anxin asked if something sad happened to him?

Thinking about it, this guy is quite pitiful. He left home at a young age and came to Yutai Sect, a strange place, to study under his master. He was all alone. Although his master was loving and his senior brothers and sisters were very kind, he had no relatives around him.

It took a lot of effort to get acquainted with the master, brothers and sisters, but the master left and never came back, and no news came. Especially when the master was absent recently, several of them seemed a little depressed and did not like to communicate. It is probably because of this that Zhao Yang felt more and more lonely. No one to rely on.

Although he felt some pity for him, Tao An couldn't do anything at the moment, let alone how to comfort him.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [(blaming me). If it wasn't for me, Master wouldn't have gone out, and he wouldn't be in jail. In fact, I know everything, I know everything, but I can't do anything, I can only pretend. I don’t know anything. My senior brothers and sisters hid it from me and didn’t tell me. They must be blaming me. They must regard me as a disaster star. I overheard it, wuwuwu..."

Zhao Yang, who was just sobbing quietly at first, gradually began to cry in a low voice, obviously trying his best to suppress his emotions.

The voice came out intermittently from the mobile phone, and it was raining, so Tao An couldn't hear clearly what he was crying about.

Frowning, Tao An picked up the phone and returned to the house. After closing the doors and windows, it became quieter, but he still couldn't hear clearly what Zhao Yang was crying about. His voice was choppy and choked, and he was wrong to mutter something. Tao An couldn't organize a complete information chain with just those words.

However, those words were all he said back and forth, and gradually Tao An also picked up some clues.

"He said that Du Qingfeng went out because of him, so even though he was young, he had actually guessed that something was going on at home, but he always pretended not to know. And it was precisely because of the master-disciple relationship that Du Qingfeng went out to help him. He went to solve his family's problems, but an accident happened, and now he is in jail? He didn't know when he overheard the conversation between Minghui and Qin Jun. They didn't tell him these things, so he felt that he Being ostracized, you feel like you are blaming him secretly, that’s why you are so sad?”

After trying hard to summarize and analyze what Zhao Yang said intermittently, Tao An managed to analyze this bit of information...

Then Tao An frowned slightly. No wonder Du Qingfeng didn't come back after being out for so many days. Something happened!

"Is he in jail? Zhao Yang cried so sadly. He couldn't believe it. But what did Du Qingfeng do when he went out to get himself in jail? He is so skilled, and the afterimages in his actions are like ghosts. Who can Catch him? Well, there should be a lot of strange people and strangers in other worlds, so there is no need to worry about this. But the problem is, from their past exchanges, we know that the Yutai Sect is the leader of the world in Yuzhou. The government must be courteous, but who dares to arrest Du Qingfeng? Is it the government? Or is it a private prison? Does the Yutai Sect not care? "

Thinking about it, Tao An couldn't help but feel pain in his eyebrows. There was too little information, and his random guesses became more and more confusing.

Then there is the initial guess that something happened to Zhao Yang's family. What is the result now?

After calming down a little, Tao An probably figured out a clue. To put it simply, Du Qingfeng went to Luo City because of Zhao Yang, and because of the master-disciple relationship, he wanted to care about the Zhao family behind Zhao Yang, but he didn't know what happened after he went there. What happened? Now that he is in prison, he really can't think of a reason for what will happen next.

After struggling for a moment, Tao An vaguely felt that something was wrong, and suddenly realized the crux of the problem.

"By the way, I learned from the past exchanges between Du Qingfeng's masters and disciples that the system in the other world is actually polarized. The government governance is as strict as a knife, but the rivers and lakes are chaotic and dark, which can be called well water. Don't go against the flow of the river. As long as the gangsters don't kill innocent people indiscriminately, generally speaking, the government will turn a blind eye."

"But the problem now is that Du Qingfeng handled the Zhao family's affairs as a member of the Jianghu, and ended up in jail. In this case, should he handle it according to the law or the rules of the Jianghu? Well, let's talk After all, the imperial court is the largest in the other world. Naturally, it follows the wishes of the government. But the question arises again. If it is handled according to the law, doesn't the government consider the attitude of the Yutai Sect? It should be noted that an ordinary man will be angry and his blood will be splashed five steps. , even if the Yutai Sect does not dare to admit that it is provoking the imperial court, who knows about the evil hands?"

"There must be a secret behind this. Du Qingfeng shouldn't be the key. He is just in prison and there is the Yutai Sect behind him. As long as he is not dead, things are not that bad. So, the key is... Zhao Yang!"

"Yes, it's Zhao Yang himself. He came to the Yutai Sect to become a disciple. From the beginning, I felt that he was trying to avoid danger. Now in this situation, it seems that those who are targeting the Zhao family want to eradicate the roots and imprison Du Qingfeng. Do you want to force Zhao Yang out?"

"Zhao Yang is now a disciple of the Yutai Sect. Should the Yutai Sect protect him or Du Qingfeng, a more useful person? As the master, Du Qingfeng, will he stand up for his disciple or will he choose to compromise? From me to him Judging from my understanding, even if you face everything, you must stand in front of your disciple!"

"These are just my guesses, I hope that's not the case..."

With so many thoughts in his mind, Tao An looked at Zhao Yang in the surveillance screen with a particularly complicated mood.

If his guess comes true, then this little boy who is only seven or eight years old will be burdened with too much. He may not have thought about it so much, or he may have only a little knowledge, but he may really be the key to many people's eyes!

Time passed little by little. In the small courtyard of the other world, the crying Zhao Yang gradually calmed down. He slowly raised his head and his eyes were blurry with tears, but his eyes gradually became firm, as if he had made a certain determination.

"My family is gone. They are all dead. My parents, brother, sister, uncles, uncles...all the thirty-two members of my family are gone. All the family property has been taken away. Now I am the only one left. Only I am living alone in the Yutai Sect, but even so, those people are still unwilling to let me go, and even the master has been implicated because of me..."

"What's the point of my life, revenge? How can I retaliate? I don't even know what kind of enemy they are. Even the master has fallen into their trap. I can't resist at all!"

"Brothers and sisters knew this but didn't tell me. They were right when we talked secretly. It was me who harmed the master. As long as I stand up and let those people deal with it, the master can come back."

"Master is like a father to me. Although he is strict, I can really feel his care for me. I have no ability to save Master. I can't do anything. In this case, I can only exchange myself for Master in return. Master’s kindness to me during this time!”

"Since my family is gone, what's the point of living alone? It would be best if I could get my master back. If not, I'll go spend time with my family. I miss them so much..."

After saying this intermittently, Zhao Yang began to scan the small courtyard where he was, his eyes were extremely complicated, showing nostalgia, reluctance, happiness, sadness...

He was only seven or eight years old, but he actually showed so many emotions in one moment, as if he had grown up a lot in that moment.

After listening to his words, Tao An's previous guesses were further confirmed, even far beyond his expectations.

The Zhao family behind Zhao Yang has completely disappeared, and now only Zhao Yang is dead!

In this way, since the Zhao family is gone, his single seedling will naturally become a thorn in the side of the enemy. As long as he is still there, the enemy will not be able to completely rest at ease, because Zhao Yang is studying under the Yutai Sect. Once If you succeed in your studies in the future, those enemies will have trouble sleeping and eating.

But now it seems that Zhao Yang, who knew the situation at home, should have been the first to fall into despair. He never thought that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. He just wanted to return to his master and spend time with his family...

It seems quite normal for him to have such thoughts at his age.

"So Du Qingfeng's imprisonment was not an accident, but a pure conspiracy. The enemies of the Zhao family knew that Zhao Yang was under his sect and deliberately let him go. Even the letter from Zhao Yang's family was probably deliberately released by the enemy. The purpose of coming out is Zhao Yang, Zhao Yang’s enemies in Yutai Sect have no way to deal with him, so they can only design to capture Du Qingfeng, thereby forcing Yutai Sect to hand over Zhao Yang, in this way their goal will be achieved!"

After thinking about it this way, Tao An's idea became clear.

But a new problem has arisen. At this point, aren't the enemies behind the Zhao family afraid of triggering greater conflicts? Originally it was just Zhao Yang, but what if he angered the entire Yutai Sect? That would be even worse than the gain.

After thinking about it, Tao An felt that this idea was wrong. Since the enemies of the Zhao family have done this, they must be sure to avoid conflicts in this area. For example, the evidence of what Du Qingfeng committed is conclusive, and occupying the jade platform under the righteousness Zong Ye was speechless, after all, no matter what, he still had to follow the rules on the surface.

As long as the Yutai Sect compromises and hands over Zhao Yang, and the enemy is eradicated, then the matter will come to an end, and no greater conflict will occur. As for whether Du Qingfeng, the disciple, will hold a grudge after his master dies, since the other party dares to do so. I definitely won't take it to heart. It's just a personal grudge. It's not easy for the Yutai Sect to end it personally. The entire sect can clearly distinguish what is more important than an individual.

"Actually, I only thought so much from the perspective of a bystander. Maybe the matter is not that complicated. The person dies and the debt is wiped out, or greater interests and forces are involved, and it will be settled afterwards. No matter where it is, The world is always forgetful, no matter how many old things are, they will be replaced by new things... What does Zhao Yang want to do?"

While Tao An was analyzing this, he saw Zhao Yang looking at the yard in the surveillance video for a while, then wiping away tears and walking towards his room on the first floor.

Adjusting the surveillance angle, Tao An saw Zhao Yang silently packing his luggage through the window!

Does he want to leave the Yutai Sect alone and then risk his life in exchange for his master?

Zhao Yang probably only knew a little bit about the whole thing. He didn't know the ins and outs. Was it a little impulsive to do this?

Realizing Zhao Yang's purpose, Tao An couldn't help but feel ridiculous. There was no point in doing so. Let's not talk about whether he could leave the Yutai Sect at this juncture. What could he do even if he left? To die? Once he leaves the Yutai Sect and dies in an accident, his master Du Qingfeng will never come back!

The enemy has already done this, will they let Zhao Yang's master Du Qingfeng go?

If Tao An's guess is correct, it is Zhao Yang who is in the Yutai Sect. He and Du Qingfeng are relatively safe for the time being. The Yutai Sect will definitely not sit idly by. I am afraid that some people in the sect should deal with the enemies of the Zhao family. The game has begun, but the outcome is unknown, and every move of the key figure Zhao Yang can be said to affect the whole body.

But considering Zhao Yang's age, it seems quite normal to do impulsive things. After all, he is only seven or eight years old. What does he know about the overall situation? He stubbornly believed that Master was implicated by him. As long as he stood up, Master would come back, and he could repay Master's kindness, and then he could spend time with his family. He didn't consider anything else at all.

Of course, it is also possible that all his family members are dead, and he is already in despair, thinking about it...

Zhao Yang quickly packed up the package. In fact, there was nothing, just a change of clothes, some copper coins and scattered silver metals. Tao An guessed that those should be currencies from another world.

Carrying the package, Zhao Yang closed the door and stood in the yard. He looked around and wiped away his tears again and murmured: "Although I have been here not long ago, it is like my home. When the master is gone, there is no home." , my original family is gone. Master was implicated because of me, so I will go and replace him with Master. This family can be done without me, but it cannot be done without Master. Senior brothers and sisters also need a complete 'family', so now is the time. Everyone thinks that I know nothing and no one pays attention to me. It is a good time to leave Yutai Sect. During this time, Sasa knows that a remote road goes down the mountain..."

As he said that, he turned around and left resolutely.

Seeing this, Tao An couldn't sit still. This guy is serious. Let's not talk about whether it makes sense. Especially in broad daylight, if you are carrying a small package, doesn't it mean that there is no silver in this place? Everyone can tell that something is wrong with you.

If he didn't stop it, it would be too late. After struggling for a while, Tao An reached out and pressed the call monitoring button on the phone screen.

You can't just watch Zhao Yang die, right? We can't let him make the situation worse, right? During this period of time, I have learned so much from Peeping Screen that it is impossible for Tao An to turn a blind eye, both emotionally and logically.

Originally, Tao An didn't want to communicate with the other world so soon, but the current situation was special and it was impossible not to take this step.

Clicking with his finger to monitor the call function, Tao An quickly said into the microphone: "Hey, hey, hey, can you hear me?"

Zhao Yang walked to the door if he kept silent.

As soon as he suddenly spoke, Zhao Yang, who was originally full of worries, looked around like a cat with fried fur. He looked around in panic and subconsciously said: "Who? Who is talking? Come out, this is the Yutai Sect, not just any cat or dog." A place where everyone can run wild!”

At this moment, Zhao Yang subconsciously forgot what he was supposed to do, and his whole body was focused on the sudden voice. But when he looked around, he didn't see even a single figure of him, and he suddenly became suspicious.

"As long as I can hear you, your name is Zhao Yang, right? I advise you not to be impulsive and think twice before you act. You running out blindly and impulsively will only make things worse," Tao An continued, without saying anything. As for the opening remarks, let’s leave Zhao Yang behind first.

Tao An couldn't tell what it was like to talk to someone from another world for the first time. Was it novel? Stimulate?

When it comes to talking to people from another world, I should be considered the first person in the world!

Zhao Yang was still looking around in confusion, and said with full vigilance: "Who are you? Why do you know my name? I have never heard your voice, and I definitely don't know you. What is your purpose? Come out quickly, otherwise I’m going to call someone!”

This guy was quite vigilant. Tao An thought for a while and continued to bluff him, saying: "Then just scream, it will just attract the others and let them know that you are going to run away and use your little arms and legs to save you." Master, and then you want to die!"

"How do you know...Hey, no, what about you, why can you talk in my head? Are you a human or a ghost?" As he said this, Zhao Yang realized something, and he was completely confused, with a creepy look on his face. His small body was trembling as he looked around, even though it was a clear sky over there.

At this time, Zhao Yang had to be afraid. He clearly heard someone talking, but his ears couldn't hear any sound. The sound appeared directly in his mind!

Don't talk about him. Tao An was a little confused when he heard what he said.

What?

Did my voice appear directly in his head?

…
