Cross-border surveillance

For Uncle Tao, Tao An's stone saved his son Tao Duo's life yesterday. If it hadn't attracted Mad Cow's attention at that time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

He was not here yesterday, and when he heard the villagers talking about it afterwards, he was almost frightened out of his wits. When he returned, he beat up Tao Duo...

So today he went to town early in the morning to buy a pig leg, and then brought Tao Duo to thank him. However, when he came, Tao An had already gone to town and could only wait at the door.

A pig's leg and Tao Duo's bow of thanks are definitely not enough to express 'life-saving grace', but he is honest and honest and is not good at these superficial skills. He thanks him in the simplest and most sincere way, and then puts the kindness to death. Keep this in mind, and when Tao An needs help, he will work hard to repay it.

Faced with the stubborn Third Uncle Tao, nothing worked, no matter how hard he tried to persuade him, Tao An had no choice but to accept his pig leg and immediately invited him to sit in the house, to which Third Uncle Tao did not refuse.

After sitting down and handing over a glass of water, Tao An looked at Tao Duo, whose eyes were still a little red, and asked with a smile: "Third uncle, how old is brother Xiaoduo?"

Yesterday, Tao Duo ran to watch the excitement and was almost attacked by a mad cow. He was obviously beaten. However, the little guy's eyes were very lively. He was over one meter tall, and his skin was slightly dark like many rural children. He was not thin. In today's society There is no shortage of food for children in rural areas, they just have to show off their mischief every day.

"He's five and a half years old. Your brother An is asking you a question. Three sticks can't make a fart out of him," the third uncle said with a smile, and then glared at Tao Duo.

"Did you study?"

"I didn't go to kindergarten. His mother ran away two years ago. It was inconvenient for me to pick him up and drop him off by myself, so I took him with me. Yesterday I accidentally missed him and almost had an accident. I plan to send him to first grade when he turns six next year." "Sanshu Tao smiled and said, talking about his own experience very calmly, as if he was talking about other people's things, maybe he has resigned himself to his fate and become numb.

There are many reasons for the mother-in-law to run away. Tao An did not ask deeply about this, let alone comment on it. He said: "Children still have to study, running around all day is not a problem."

"Well, after what happened yesterday, I plan to send him to kindergarten. It's good to have a teacher to keep an eye on him. Try to take as much time as possible to pick him up and drop him off. It's also convenient to buy a battery car." Uncle Tao seemed to have figured it out and looked at his son. Seriously.

Tao An guessed that he might have kept his son by his side all day because his wife had run away and he was afraid that his son would suddenly disappear in front of him.

Hearing this, Tao Duo's eyes turned, and he seemed to be quite yearning to go to kindergarten, but he looked at his father with some fear, hesitated and said, "I want to study hard and become a capable person like An Ge when I grow up."

He didn't know what it meant to be capable, but yesterday so many people said that Tao An was great, that meant he was capable.

"How can I be capable? You will have to be more capable than me in the future." Tao An touched his head and smiled.

Nodding seriously, Tao Duo said: "Then I will repay Brother An when I have the ability in the future. My dad said you saved my life."

Tong Yan Wuji, Tao An didn't take it seriously. He thought of something and said: "Don't listen to your dad, he's talking nonsense. If you have nothing to do recently, come to my place to play more. I'm bored by being alone all day." Yes, I may need you to give me a little help then."

"He is free. What can a child do? Xiao An, just tell me if you have anything to do. You can do it anytime. I will ask him to come here every day. You just give me orders." Uncle Tao said quickly, without asking anything.

Shaking his head, Tao An said: "Don't worry, it's not accurate yet, that's all I'll say."

In fact, Tao An was attracted by Tao Duo's somewhat dark skin, which was a good test for the white flower dew. However, he couldn't mess with this. He had to make sure that the white flower dew had no side effects first. He didn't want any accidents to happen.

Third Uncle Tao was not good at words, so Tao An was the one asking most of the questions. He didn't know what to say after a few dry words. Hearing the sound of pigs squealing from the van, he asked curiously: "Xiao An, are you still planning to raise pigs?"

"No, I plan to buy something to eat." Tao An smiled and said, "Uncle Third, what do you usually do?"

"I mainly work on construction sites and decorate things. I know a little bit about carpentry, water, electricity, bricks and tiles, but it's hard to find work. Most of them are idle farming, but they can't make much money all year round." When talking about this, he felt a little emotional.

Hearing what he said, Tao An thought that his payment for goods was gradually arriving, and the upgrade of the old house could also be put on the agenda, so he said: "Uncle Third, I plan to transform this yard into a Chinese-style courtyard. When the time comes, I’ll ask you to do it, what do you think?”

It doesn't matter who you earn the money from, so you can feel more at ease if you give it to the third uncle who is more familiar with it. No matter what, as a fellow villager, you shouldn't cut corners too much. After all, if you can run away, a monk can't run away from the temple.

He didn't agree immediately. The third uncle looked around and said, "This house of yours hasn't been repaired for many years. You still remember that I came to your house to do some chores. It's been a few years. I'll help you figure this out." Well, what do you plan to make it like? Let me help you take a look at the materials for the construction team and then talk about it."

That's what he said, but he was serious about it, and he had no intention of making money, so he just wanted to repay Tao An's kindness for saving his son.

So Tao An took out his mobile phone and pulled out some rural courtyard drawings he found online. They said they were rural buildings, but they were actually no different from villas. He showed them to Uncle Tao and said, "That's it. I haven't chosen which one yet." decided"

Several drawings are similar, all with courtyards, some are more Chinese-style, and some are more modern.

After all, he was specialized in this field. After a short look, the third uncle knew it and said, "It's so beautiful. It would be a bit difficult to renovate your old house without tearing it down and starting over. But the problem is not big, so it's just a waste of effort." , source the materials yourself, find a construction team, water, electricity, etc. can be done for two or three hundred thousand. If you demolish the old house and start from scratch, you will have to add another one or two hundred thousand."

This was not a conservative estimate by Uncle Tao, nor was it a deliberately low price to repay a favor. In fact, he went a little higher. It was definitely not for the purpose of cheating money, but because he wanted to help Tao An get it done. When the time comes, the price would be whatever it was. He won't overcharge.

A few hundred thousand can build a villa in a rural area, including decoration. Although it is not a luxurious simple decoration, many people think that this is simply unimaginable, but this is a fact. After all, the homestead is your own. You can save a lot on artificial materials and the like.

"Okay, Third Uncle, please help me do the math. Don't worry, we can start construction before the year", Tao An said with a smile.

The price mentioned by the third uncle was based on his own considerations, while Tao An had his own considerations. Since he wanted to do it, he should do it a little better, not too luxurious, but he still had to have what he should have. In his heart, Tao An estimated that it would cost about one million. It's all acceptable. After all, he wants to live on his own for a long time. Anyway, Tao An will most likely not find a job now, and he also has some money.

Chinese people are probably all the same. When they are rich, they like to build houses.

At this time, Tao An muttered to himself, many people said that they would go back to the countryside when they get old, which would save him decades of detours.

Uncle Tao said in astonishment: "Is it okay to start construction by the end of the year? That's not possible. If we prepare now, we can finish the work and move in by the end of the year."

"Then, Third Uncle, please help me with some extra work. It's getting late now. You guys sit down and I'll cook." Tao An looked at the sky and said.

But Uncle Tao stood up hurriedly at this time and said: "Oh, I still have something to do at home. Let's go first. Xiao An, don't be anxious about the renovation of your house. I will ask you here and discuss the details with you another day..."

After that, Tao An tried to persuade him to stay but still insisted on leaving. He couldn't hold him back, so he had to give up.

After Uncle Tao left, Tao An looked at the yard of his hometown and already had some concerns in his mind.

At that time, a wall will be built around the yard, a slate floor will be paved, there will be flower beds and grape trellises around it, a garage will be built on one side, a spacious practice room will be reserved, and an incense-making workshop will also need to be built. There will be a terrace on the second floor. , In terms of decoration, try to be more Chinese-style, but relatively simple, and the materials do not need to be very good. One million is definitely more than enough.

In the countryside, you can buy a beautiful small villa with only a million, and it also comes with decoration, water and electricity. If you put it in the city, you might not even have enough down payment!

There were not so many worries for the time being. After being delayed by Uncle Tao, the time came to the afternoon. Tao An was not in a hurry about Baihualu, but was cooking, eating and practicing.

It was still early before dark when he finished, so he took the squealing pig out of the car. The pig, which weighed less than a hundred kilograms, was just a little heavy in his hands.

Huazhu had tied his limbs and put them in the car before, but left him alone for a few hours. Huazhu pooped in the car, which smelled very bad, so he had to take some time to wash it.

Everyone is naturally repelled by dirt, but Tao An doesn't have such a severe mysophobia, so he will be fine if he cleans it up when the time comes.

The next step is to use Huazhu to verify the white flower dew, but Tao An is having difficulty because he currently does not have a bathtub. He needs to dissolve the white flower dew in warm water and then soak the flower pig in it.

After thinking for a moment, he moved out the large water tank that had been in the utility room for who knows how many years. This is fine, as long as it can be used, it doesn't matter so much.

After carefully clearing and cleaning the large water tank, Tao An started working on the spotted pig he bought.

You couldn't just throw it into the water tank to soak it, you had to rinse it, so you rinsed it with a water pipe, sprinkled washing powder, and used a long-handled brush to brush it, making the pig howl.

Give it a clean wash so that at least there are no obvious stains on the surface. It is estimated that this spotted pig has never been so clean in its life.

Next, Tao An took the bucket to the bathroom to get hot water, poured it into the water tank, and added cold water until it was slightly warm.

I took some white flower dew and picked it up with my fingers. It was only about four or five grams. It was enough, about the size of half a White Rabbit toffee, and put it into warm water.

"As expected from the secret recipe, it is easily soluble in water. It decomposed quickly on its own before I even stirred it." Tao An couldn't help but muttered as he watched the clear water change color quickly after putting in the white flower nectar. He stirred it a little and it became completely Mixed with water.

At this time, the large tank of clear water was slightly purple, and exuded a light natural fragrance of grass and trees. It smelled very good, as if bathing in the spring breeze, giving people a sense of relaxation and happiness.

Looking at the white-washed pigs beside him, and then at the water tank with white floral water in it, Tao Anxin said don't look at that little white floral liquid. If the next effect is really as described in the secret recipe, just a few drops. , if you want to sell it yourself, although there is no price yet, you may not know how many pigs it will be worth. It will be a bargain for you. Do you know that your worth has skyrocketed?

Tsk, Baihualu, the first person to experience it was actually a pig...

Just as he was about to throw the spotted pig in, Tao An suddenly thought of something, so he took out his mobile phone, put the stand aside, and started taking pictures and recording. This was still necessary and might come in handy.

Then he threw the flowered pig into the water tank, observing with some anxiety to see if the white flower dew was effective, and even more worried about whether it had any side effects.

However, after some observation, nothing special happened.

The spotted pig in the water tank was flopping and humming vigorously. Not only did there not appear any abnormal phenomena, but Tao An felt that this guy seemed to be enjoying himself a little bit, and he didn't know if it was an illusion. Moreover, the pig was actually soaking in the water. , it was inevitable to drink some water, but nothing happened.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Huazhu seemed to be getting more and more happy.

"At the moment, at least the white flower dew is not poisonous. Everything about Huazhu is normal, but I'm not sure. Wait a minute." Observing Huazhu's condition, Tao An touched his chin and muttered.

As he looked at it, he couldn't help but blink subconsciously. He didn't know if it was an illusion. He vaguely felt that after just a short period of time, the black parts of the pig's body seemed to have become lighter!

"The effect is so good?" Tao An was a little surprised when he realized this.

The reason why spotted pigs are called spotted pigs is because they have spots on their bodies, which are caused by genes, just like birthmarks on humans. But how long has it been now? Soaking it in water with white flower dew can actually lighten the spots on its body? This is simply visible to the naked eye!

This effect is too terrifying...

To be honest, Tao An felt a little numb at the moment. White flower dew can lighten the spots caused by genes on the skin of spotted pigs. If it is used on humans, wouldn't it mean that it can lighten birthmarks and the like? These are all secondary. The most important thing is that Tao An thought of another effect, that is, wouldn't this effect allow some people who like tattoos to easily remove their tattoos?

In other words, apart from whitening, removing freckles, removing scars and removing body odor, white flower dew actually has other uses that can be developed. Tattoo removal is just one that Tao An thought of.

How many people in the world like tattoos? Especially those ignorant children who sometimes regret their impulsiveness when they were young, but having this thing is like giving them a dose of regret medicine!

Well, the effect of white flower dew itself is miraculous. Tao An is not too surprised about this. It can remove scars. Isn’t it easy to remove pigmented tattoos?

Gradually, Tao An discovered something special, that is, as the spots on the pig's body became lighter, the warm water that was originally slightly purple also became lighter. However, while the color of the warm water became lighter, it also slowly became slightly purple. turbid.

It’s not that the pig pooped and peed in it, it’s as if its skin absorbed the white flower nectar in the water, and then the stains were washed away by the white flower nectar and the pigment blended into the water!

"Are all things in other worlds so magical?"

At first, Tao An thought that the previous Ningshen Fragrance was just for refreshing the mind. In fact, many modern products can achieve this effect. But after he experienced it, it not only refreshed the mind, but also soothed the spirit and improved concentration. It can also make people think sharply, so that it can even vaguely improve a person's memory later. Tao An still doesn't know that Ningshenxiang can directly or indirectly 'wake up' an Alzheimer's patient.

The current white flower dew is also miraculous, and the effect is immediate. Only once, the spots caused by genes on the pigs were visibly lighter, and the beauty effect was simply incredible. Of course, it is still not as good as those on the Internet that are just for sale. The fake and exaggerated PS technology...

When I thought about it, Tao An felt relieved.

He understood that it wasn't the things from the other world that were so magical, but that the incense products from the secret recipe he got had magical effects.

The difference is still huge, after all, most things in other worlds are ordinary.

But the secret recipe he got was different, it came from Du Qingfeng of the Yutai Sect!

Who is Du Qingfeng? He himself is a master of martial arts, at least to Tao An, he is an extraordinary existence, and he himself is a leader of the Yutai Sect. The Yutai Sect is the leader of the world and a state in another world. Hundreds of years of history, how terrifying is the background? There are various inheritances, and the secret recipe comes from the Yutai Sect and was made by myself, so it is normal for the effect to be incredible.

How should I put it? After all, this kind of incense products is not the mainstream in the other world. Maybe it is not taken seriously, so it can be taken out by Du Qingfeng casually, so that Tao An suspects that the various incense products in the secret recipe may not be taken seriously. If you get another world, it is also top-notch!

This comparison seems to be normal. Things in other worlds certainly have their own magic, but is the world we live in simple? It’s amazing to be able to carry a mobile phone from one side to the other. It can transmit sound thousands of miles away and make face-to-face calls. The directions are different, and top-notch things have their own extraordinary features.

Thinking that his secret recipe is not ordinary even in another world, Tao An doesn't worry so much.

Time passed little by little, about forty or fifty minutes. The water in the water tank had completely cooled down. The light purple color that had been blended into the white flower dew completely disappeared. The water became a little turbid, and the spots on the pig's body also became lighter. a lot of.

After continuing to observe for a while, there was almost no change in the flower pig itself. Tao An guessed that the effect of the white flower dew should be close to gone, so he ended this first observation experiment.

He took the flowered pig out and put it in the yard, leaving him alone for the time being. Tao An went to check the video recorded on his mobile phone.

Speeding up the playback from the beginning and comparing before and after, he was astonishingly aware that in just this hour, the spots on the pig's body had faded by almost a third!

In other words, the introduction on the secret recipe is true. It can whiten and remove freckles and scars after two or three times, it will be completely stable after four times, and it will be completely changed after five times.

At present, Tao An dare not draw a conclusion. He plans to continue to experiment with Huazhu a few times to complete the 'course of treatment'. However, this process will take about ten days, with an interval of two days. Too much is not enough, although the formula does not clearly state that it cannot be done. Continuous use, but the instructions for use are to bathe once a day, so why not just bathe once every two days?

"That is to say, I still have to raise this pig for ten days? If nothing else, the pig will turn from the original spotted pig into a small fragrant pig in ten days." Tao An also said this Noncommittal.

It's not a big problem to raise it for ten days, but what, this guy doesn't eat as much as Tao An...

There was originally a pigsty left in the house, as well as a pig trough, which was the trough where people usually lay down. However, it had not been used for many years, which saved Tao An a lot of trouble.

It was almost dark after the experiment, so Tao An packed up and went back to the house.

Although the time in the other world happened to be 'synchronized' with the time here yesterday, the daylight there was longer, so the time was diverged again.

Tao An got up early the next day. After cooking for himself, he had to cook for the pigs.

He was not so extravagant as to feed the pig whatever he ate. The scraps left over from cooking were enough for the little pig, which was not big enough to eat much.

Then when he was busy practicing, Tao Duo actually came over. I don't know if he came to play on his own or because his father remembered that Tao An said he wanted to ask him for help, so he specially called him.

Tao An wanted to practice and let him play by himself. Then Tao Duo found the spotted pig in his pig pen and volunteered to cut the pig grass. Tao An dared to let him go. He was only over five years old, too young. He was probably seven or eight years old. I felt relieved, so I took out my computer and played a cartoon for him to watch before he calmed down.

Everything on the computer has been transferred to the USB flash drive, and Tao An is not afraid of any accidents.

He didn't need his help for the time being, and Tao Duo, who was attracted by the cartoon, was not curious about Tao An's practice.

After practicing, Tao An sent him home, and he took a few drops of white flower dew and drove to the county seat in a van. Since it was temporarily confirmed that the white flower dew was non-toxic and had no negative effects, it was necessary to get it for inspection in advance. It can also clean the smelly van.

My new car has only been driven for a few days.

Last time, Ning Shen Xiang Tao'an learned about the testing department in the county. Although he had never been there, he knew the address. There was no difficulty in finding it and successfully sent it for testing. However, the results would still have to wait for a while, about a week or ten days. .

Even if it is a county agency, it is also a national unit, and the results report is recognized nationwide.

When submitting for inspection, Tao An inquired a little and was speechless. He learned that although the inspection agency in the county was a formal unit, it could only test some ordinary things. Products like his had to be sent to higher-level institutions for testing with specialized instruments. Well, it's equivalent to just an office, which can only handle some simple things. I don't know if the blood of drunk drivers is tested here. It shouldn't be a department...

Anyway, the testing process for Baihualu has already started, we just need to wait for the results.

Tao An's life was relatively peaceful in the next few days. There was nothing important in the other world, just repetitive daily routines. He occasionally communicated with Zhao Yang, but he did not provide Tao An with any valuable information. .

There are two points worth mentioning. In the past few days, occasionally when no one was around, Zhao Yang continued to help Tao An read the book about the treasures of heaven, materials and earth. Tao An kept records in this regard.

Then, Tao An played a little trick. He didn't know the writing of the other world. It would be wrong to say he didn't know it. It was Xiaozhuan, which he couldn't fully recognize, but the pronunciation was not much different from what he said, and the characters were different. The writing is different, but the meaning is the same.

So, the benefits of technology are reflected. The AI ​​voice recognition that comes with the mobile phone can directly extract text!

In this way, Tao An can translate the text in the book about the introduction of heavenly materials and earthly treasures through AI speech recognition without the need for professional translation.

The Chinese translation did get the content of the book, but it was still an ancient Chinese sentence. It was still very difficult to truly read and understand, and the accuracy was not guaranteed. Tao An needed to further understand it.

Zhao Yang couldn't finish reading a book with millions of words in a few days, and it would take some time. Tao An was busy with Baihualu and did not delve into the content of the book. He recorded and saved it first.

The second thing is the news that Zhao Yang told Tao An, that is, the Yutai Sect has recently increased patrols around the sect's residence. He didn't know what happened, so he just mentioned it casually.

Tao An paid attention to this. Although he was limited by the surveillance area and couldn't see much, he could still vaguely tell that the Yutai Sect had indeed strengthened its vigilance.

Why did the Yutai Sect suddenly increase its vigilance? Is it because of the arrival of the so-called big shot from the imperial court? Or is it because of Du Qingfeng that the Yutai Sect may be targeted? Is it even possible that the Yutai Sect did this because of Zhao Yang himself? After such a long stalemate, someone couldn't sit still and planned to take desperate measures against him?

Zhao Yang himself knew nothing about this, and didn't even think about it that much. Tao An only reminded him to be careful in an indirect way, without directly explaining it, so as to prevent the little guy from having random thoughts again.

Occasionally I think of Zhao Yang's own name, tsk, Zhao Yang, Chaoyang. He looks only seven or eight years old. Just like the rising sun, life has just begun and has an infinite future. But what he is experiencing now, It's like the sky changes when the red sun rises. We don't know whether it will be a storm or a bright sun in the future. But from the current point of view, just the fact that his family is ruined can already be called a dark cloud.

In the future, it is unknown whether the sun will break through the clouds and see the light again, or whether he will be shrouded in darkness from now on...

On this day, Tao An was still experimenting with the effect of white flower dew on the flowery pig in the yard. The flowery pig was fluttering in the water tank. Tao Duo was watching curiously and stopped watching cartoons.

This is Tao An's third Huazhu experiment, and each time he used his mobile phone to record the video.

The third time was coming to an end, and Tao An looked at the spotted pig in the water tank with surprised eyes.

The current spotted pig can no longer be called a spotted pig. After three attempts, the spots on its body have become so light that they almost disappear from the surface of the skin. Only by comparing the surrounding skin can the original location of the spots be determined.

In just three times, the original spotted pig turned into a little white pig!

Tao Duo was too young and ignorant to care so much. He just thought the little white pig was cute and wanted to go in and take a bath with it.

"After three experiments, although the white flower dew was effective on the spot, it did not completely stop afterwards. It will continue to fade the spots, but it is not so obvious. For example, in the first experiment of Huazhu, the spots on its body were reduced. It faded by one-third, but when I checked again the next day, the spots were half lighter. After the third time, the spots were almost completely gone. There will definitely be no trace of color at this time tomorrow. spot!"

By this time, there was actually no need for Tao An to experiment with the pigs anymore. Apart from the almost disappearing stains, the skin of the pigs was white, tender and translucent, a healthy white and tender color, and pink and tender. It looks very cute. If it were a pet, it would make people want to kiss it. After all, it is clean.

But Tao An still planned to complete the 'course of treatment'. At first it was a spotted pig, and now it is a white pig. In the end, he wanted to see if it could turn into a small fragrant pig. If so, it must taste very delicious?

Once you get the test report and confirm that there are no harmful ingredients or negative effects, you can proceed to the next step of testing.

The reason why Tao An wanted to get the test report before proceeding to the next step was to consider everything comprehensively. You have to be careful when using this thing on people.

Fortunately, this thing Tao An submitted for inspection was in the name of a traditional handmade fragrance product. It uses natural beauty products and is for external use in bathing. It only needs to be confirmed to be non-toxic and without side effects. It does not need strict approval and control like pharmaceuticals before they can be used for human experiments. If it is a pharmaceutical product, the subsequent marketing process will not take several years...

Thinking of this, Tao An glanced at Tao Duo, who had dark and rough skin next to him. The white flower dew will definitely turn him white and tender. Although he is still a skinny monkey now, he will be very happy in kindergarten when he becomes fair and tender. Welcome?

"Golden Pig, what are you doing? Where did you get a pig? You even gave it a bath. It's so cute. It's your pet? If you can't call it Golden Pig, just raise a pig. Whose family does that kid belong to?"

At this moment, a series of questions sounded above Tao An's head.

This is the voice of Tao An's mother, Liu Xiaorong, talking to Tao An through the surveillance camera in the yard.

After reacting, Tao An smiled and said: "Mom, I don't have a pet pig. I bought this to eat. I will raise it for two days and clean it up. Then this is Tao Duo, the third uncle's house in the village. It's okay. Come and play with me”

Tao An didn't mention the mad cow incident that day, so as not to worry his family.

"Oh, it's Xiao Duo. He's grown so big in the blink of an eye. I remember that he was just born when I went home to sweep the grave. Where are your parents, are they okay?" Liu Xiaorong suddenly became enthusiastic.

Tao Duo was confused when he heard the voice, and turned to look at Tao An.

Pointing to the camera, Tao An said: "My mother is asking you, where is she talking to you from? You have to call me uncle."

"Auntie, have you...have you eaten? My dad is at work. My grandparents said that my mom ran away a few years ago and she is a heartless person." Tao Duo said cautiously, feeling embarrassed to show up behind Tao An. .

He was still young and had almost no emotion when talking about his mother running away. He had no idea what that meant.

When Liu Xiaorong heard this, she was also a little sad and said: "I am also a poor baby. I have time to come to my uncle's house to play."

"Am I not here?" Tao Duo scratched his head.

Amused by him, Liu Xiaorong turned to Tao An and said, "You are the golden pig, too. Are you willing to eat such a cute pig?"

"No matter how reluctant you are to part with it, no matter how cute it is, you won't eat less of the roasted suckling pig made by dad," Tao An immediately laughed.

"You're itchy, aren't you?" Liu Xiaorong was furious.

Tao An quickly changed the subject and said, "Mom, is there something wrong with you suddenly talking today? Aren't you usually very busy?"

"What, can't I talk to you? I raised you for nothing, you are a heartless person," Liu Xiaorong said angrily.

What's going on, Mom? Why does it smell like gunpowder? Did you have a quarrel with Dad?

Without waiting for Tao An to say anything, Liu Xiaorong asked: "Jin Zhu, did you forget something?"

"Mom, what did you say?" Tao An didn't react for a moment. After thinking about it, he couldn't ignore anything.

Liu Xiaorong sneered and said: "What are you talking about? What do you think I said? You've been back for so long, you don't plan to go home, right? Do you still have your parents in your eyes? You really thought that after graduation, you would be able to fly freely and not even have a home." ? Some time ago, I went to your sister's place and never came home. You might as well start your own business."

"No, no, absolutely not. Mom, I'm busy. How can I do it? It depends on what you said." Tao An quickly tried to please him. Thinking about it, he hadn't seen his parents for so long. Don't tell me, he still missed them when he was reminded. of.

Liu Xiaorong snorted and said: "What are you busy with? I see you doing nothing all day long. If you can't make two bucks by yourself, see how I deal with you. I can't control you anymore. I have to get you back at the end of this month, otherwise you Give me a try!"

"No problem," Tao An assured immediately. Anyway, there is still more than half a month until the end of the month. By then, everything will be done, so everything will be fine.

Liu Xiaorong said no more and said: "Okay, that's it."

Then Tao An slapped his forehead and realized. No wonder my mother is so emotional. It will be her twenty-fourth birthday at the end of the month, and her life has gone through two cycles!

Then my mother urged me to go back, and Tao An probably understood what was going on. First of all, it was a birthday, and as a family, we had to be together. Another thing, there is something special about the age of twenty-four, it is the year of one’s birth year. Tao An didn’t know about other places. , but many people here in Guizhou Province have a custom, that is, in the year of birth, the elders need to give the younger generation some red underwear, and then they have to wear it throughout the year. It is red all year round, which is the protection from the elders. If you don’t wear it, It is unlucky to say so.

There is nothing to be ashamed of. Tradition is nothing compared to feudal superstition.

Thinking of this, Tao An realized that he really had to go back, and he really missed his family after not seeing them for so long.

But how to celebrate your twenty-fourth birthday? The family eats and drinks, and at most they invite a few good friends to get together, and they don't pay much attention to it. I'm not a special person, so there's no need to make a fuss. I just don't know if my sister can come back. She probably can't. Gotta go to work.

There is still some time left, there is no need to worry so much...

Tao An's days were still the same, not much changed from before. Everything was going on step by step. He became more and more proficient in the two martial arts skills of Sifang Quan and Huma Galloping. He practiced the body-building exercises unremittingly every day. Now he has secretly experimented and can already lift four to five hundred kilograms of weight.

Lift, not move!

This kind of strength is already a bit scary, even if it is just raising both hands, it is still a long way from the ultimate body training of lifting a thousand kilograms of weight with one hand.

Don't underestimate this kind of strength. There may be many people in the world who can do it, but those so-called strong men can hardly sustain it for a long time. Tao An can lift it for several minutes without resting.

Furthermore, if he uses this kind of power and uses the Sifang Fist technique to punch, the force will be doubled. He tried it quietly in the woods recently. After accumulating strength, one punch can knock out the thick thigh. The dry pine wood was broken. Although the fist hurt a little, the skin was not broken.

How to say that sentence is equivalent to Master Huo's twenty years of skill!

He had only been practicing martial arts from another world for a few months, and Tao An's methods had already developed in an inhuman direction.

Then the movement technique of Tiger and Horse Galloping, combined with the force exertion method and breathing rhythm, his current physique can cover a distance of two to three meters in one step!

Don't underestimate the distance of three to four meters in his step. It seems to be far less than those of long jumpers. You must know that he does not pay attention to the venue, and it is not a short distance. This is no longer comparable to those of professional athletes. , people have to look at the venue, the condition, and the equipment. Tao An can achieve this effect by just walking casually. Running ten kilometers in one breath is just a big breath, but he is still far away from running a hundred miles in one breath when his physique and movement skills are perfected. There is a long way to go.

Now, after a few months of changes, Tao An's comprehensive physique in all aspects can already be said to be the best in the world. The same is true in terms of unarmed combat ability, but he is only at the top. There are 8 billion people in the world. , there must be some freaks, he doesn't dare to be ranked first, the Qi Condensation realm is still about the same.

Only now, if he goes further, he has already begun to move towards surpassing ordinary people...

While making comprehensive progress in all aspects, Tao An's experiment with white flower dew on flowered pigs has also ended, and he has completed a "course of treatment". At the same time, the test report of the white flower dew has also been obtained. All aspects are normal, and the red seal is It proves that in this way, his purely handmade beauty fragrance products can be sold independently.

But it is limited to self-employed sales, similar to agricultural and sideline products. For example, starting a company is a different process (I don’t understand, so don’t spray).

After a course of treatment, the original spotted pig not only turned into a pink and tender white pig, but also turned into a 'fragrant pig'.

How can I put it this way? White flower dew is indeed a unique fragrance product that can make people emit a special fragrance. The smell of the pig after the 'treatment', even if it is still alive and kicking, actually has a feeling of increasing appetite, making people want to bite it directly. One bite and it's magical.

Anyway, the pig was eaten by Tao Ang in the end. The meat was so fragrant that he couldn't stop eating it.

He was even thinking about not selling the white flower nectar to make money, but using it directly to cultivate new varieties of animal ingredients, focusing on high-end products. The main reason is that after eating it, he almost drooled in his dreams. It's so fragrant.

But considering the cost-effectiveness, I still don't do that. If I am greedy, I can occasionally have the luxury of quietly 'washing' fragrant pigs, fragrant dogs, fragrant sheep, fragrant cows and the like to satisfy my craving.

During this time, Tao Duo came to Tao An and became familiar with him, and he also had some feelings for the pig. Tao An carried him when he was carrying the pig. Tao Duo also asked where the pig had gone. When he learned that the pig was gone, he burst into tears. I ate three big bowls with tears in my eyes.

Although Tao An usually lives a peaceful life, there are really a lot of things going on when he breaks it down. In addition to various trivial matters and practicing, Uncle Tao also came to see him twice, mainly to discuss the renovation of the old house. He knew all about the materials engineering team. OK, we can start work at any time after discussing the general details.

It doesn't matter when Tao'an starts construction. Although the arrival of the engineering team will definitely have a certain impact on him, it is not a big problem. There is no need to make incense for the time being, and he can't go far away to practice.

However, Uncle Tao was very particular and he specifically looked at the start date for good luck. He said that Tao An would be able to move into the renovated house by the end of the year. Tao An was quite looking forward to this, but the date was at the end of the month. Er Tao'an figured that it wouldn't be a big problem if he went home to celebrate his birthday. He could communicate via phone or video at any time. There were also cameras, so he could watch the situation at any time.

After the stage of experimenting with white flower nectar on pigs, Tao An began to ask Tao Duo to help him clean up his white flower. The process was still recorded on video. If people want to buy white flower nectar at that time, Tao An plans to use it as an advertisement. As we all know, the video is It can’t be photoshopped...

Good guy, it was the first time I cleaned up Tao Duo, and the effect was remarkable. After I returned home, his father, Uncle Tao, was so frightened that he thought he was sick. Otherwise, how could he not see my black monkey getting so clean for a long time?

It was Tao An who reassured him, saying that Tao Duo was going to kindergarten, and being dark was not a problem, so he gave him his own beauty products, and he would be welcome to go to school by then.

Uncle Tao doesn't understand this. He has never had any contact with beauty products in his life. He only thinks that Tao An's beauty products are very effective, and he doesn't think much about it. Anyway, many village women sometimes have dark skin and apply a layer of putty. No, After applying powder, my face is still pale...

After giving Tao Duo two uses of white floral water, Tao An didn't intend to continue. It wasn't that he was reluctant, but that it was unnecessary.

First of all, the effect has been tested, there are no side effects, and the advertising is enough. Secondly, after only two times of Tao Duo, the skin has become fair and rosy, almost like many pampered children in the city, and it will be too conspicuous if it continues.

He seemed like a different person. Uncle Tao even doubted that he was not his son. If he continued, he might think that Tao An had replaced him with a son.

During this period of time, Uncle Tao has contacted the kindergarten for him. Although he joined the class midway, he has to go to school and will not have time to come to Tao An next time.

Tao An is pretty busy with his own affairs and is also thinking about going home to celebrate his birthday.

Then, the white flower dew has been produced, the experiment has been completed, and the test report has been obtained. Everything has been prepared in the early stage. He is hesitant whether to sell it in an online store. If so, what is the price?

He was still hesitant for a moment, but he ordered some porcelain bottles online, which have arrived. Each porcelain bottle is small, and they are used to contain white flower dew.

When ordering the porcelain vase, he also asked the merchant to help write the words "Bai Hua Lu". Because it was customized and the quantity was not large, Tao An spent a little extra money. Well, it was only a thousand yuan. This thing is not worth anything. One hundred bottles cost only about ten yuan each, and you will need to place another order later.

The white flower dew he originally made was more than a liter, a paste, and the weight was different from water. It was less than three kilograms, which was not enough. The amount used before could be ignored.

When packaging, each bottle contains 25 grams, which is just a little more, but the amount is limited. Anyway, one bottle is enough for 'one course of treatment'.

Then a total of fifty-six bottles were filled, and one hundred bottles were not used up.

He definitely has no use for himself. Why do you want to be so white, a man? His skin is already good, with no scars or marks on his body. Practicing martial arts from another world to improve his physique seems to have a tendency to turn white. He himself wants to tan. Point.

"My sister sent her two bottles. I told her a long time ago that I would let her experience it as soon as it was ready. It's been almost a month since then. It's time to hand in the results. Cui has done it several times. My mother said Bian also gave two bottles and took them back directly to her. Dad, forget about it. He himself is not interested in beauty or anything like that."

In total, Tao An only has about fifty bottles of white flower nectar at his disposal. With such a small amount, he can't even fit it in a suitcase. Let's not talk about whether it will be sold or what the price will be. Anyway, he doesn't care about his family. stingy.

“Should we put it on the shelves for sale?”

Tao An looked at the packaged white flower dew and fell into deep thought.

He is not short of money now. During this period of time, the payment for the sold-out Ningshenxiang products has gradually arrived in his account. Although not all, there are eight to nine million, and it is about to exceed the ten million mark.

With so much money, he doesn't have any big expenses right now. If it weren't for his parents, he would be busy all day long, but his work would actually be easy. Even though his father is in charge of the kitchen, he is actually the one who leads the work most of the time rather than being the smoky number one. Line, he plans to let his parents enjoy a happy life.

"The Ningshen Incense has long been sold out, and someone has already left a message urging me to put a new batch on the shelves, but I haven't even prepared the raw materials. It will take more than a month to start making it now, and this thing is only available because of Mr. Luo. With such a sales situation, I feel a little unsure, so I will wait and see.”

"So should Baihualu be put in the online store? We can't keep the online store empty, especially that book about heaven, materials and earthly treasures from another world. Although I haven't understood the content yet, there are a few things that are vaguely familiar. Regardless of whether it can be matched with the number in the book, it will probably cost money to get it. I don’t know how much it will be. I have to prepare in advance. I don’t know if the money I have is enough. Ningshenxiang can’t do anything for the time being. It’s produced and put on the shelves, so you can use white flower dew to increase your income?”

"But how much is the price of this thing? It's not much in total. If the price is cheap, it doesn't mean much. It's better to buy the Ningshen Incense. The price is too expensive. You might make the same mistake as the last time you did the Ningshen Incense..."

Tao An was really indecisive.

He has verified the effect of white flower dew himself. Anyone who buys it will definitely not regret it. However, the price makes him difficult. It is better to keep it for himself and give it as a gift than to order for a few thousand yuan. Compared with the nearly ten million yuan in his hand. Cash flow, a bottle of several thousand yuan, how much can it sell for dozens of bottles?

But if it’s too expensive, will anyone buy it? And how expensive is it? I currently have just over fifty bottles in total.

When it comes to beauty, things like beauty are quite ridiculous. Some people who love beauty are not stingy with money at all. They spend tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands on surgery. Even those who spend hundreds of thousands on surgery have little effect. Can it be compared with white flower dew?

"By the way, white flower dew can make the spots of pigs disappear. Doesn't it mean that it has a high probability of making black people white?" This thought popped into his head, and Tao An suddenly shook his hand.

If this thing were released in Western countries, it might cause some trouble.

He vaguely remembered that there was once an international superstar who spent a lot of money to become white. He spent hundreds of millions of dollars on maintenance and repairs...

Well, Tao An is really full of rockets.

Just when he was hesitating whether to put Baihualu on the shelves and what the price would be, a prompt sound came from the old mobile phone without a card to connect to the Internet. It was the sound of a dynamic figure captured by the monitoring software in another world.

So he stopped worrying about Baihualu and instead paid attention to the situation over there.

Originally, he thought that his daily life was no different from usual, but when he saw the surveillance screen of another world, he was so surprised that he couldn't help but stood up subconsciously.

Tao An saw that Du Qingfeng, who had disappeared for a while, appeared in the small courtyard again!

It's almost dusk over there, and the setting sun is shining in the evening.

Du Qingfeng stepped into the small courtyard while bathing in the sunset. He was still dressed in the same way he left at that time, but it looked like it had not been washed for a long time. There were many stains on the clothes, and even blood and damage could be seen vaguely.

But such a state cannot affect Du Qingfeng himself at all, as if he is not wearing tattered clothes, but a gorgeous outfit.

He walked in the familiar courtyard, calm and composed, and even had a faint smile on his lips, but his eyes were a little strange, as if he had a little emotion, and he seemed to have a new mentality from yesterday's balcony to today's rain.

Looking at Du Qingfeng in the surveillance screen, Tao An didn't know if he had an illusion. He always felt that he was different from last time, but he couldn't tell what was different.

Tao An will definitely not admit his mistake. Du Qingfeng is still Du Qingfeng, and he will definitely not be disguised in disguise. Tao An can see the details on his body under the high-definition camera. Even if someone is disguised in disguise, it will not be like him. The details of the slight onychomycosis are also disguised, right?

"Today's Du Qingfeng's mental outlook seems to be completely different from last time. He is more confident and calm. By the way, he seems to be more in tune with the surrounding environment. Yes, that's how it feels!"

Tao An finally discovered something was different about Du Qingfeng.

But didn’t he go to deal with the Zhao family’s affairs? How does that go? You were in jail some time ago, why did you come back?

Various thoughts gathered together, and after much thinking, there was only one possibility for Du Qingfeng's return. His martial arts cultivation had broken through!

It must be that martial arts cultivation has entered a new field, and then he has solved everything and returned smoothly. Apart from this, Tao An can't think of any other possibility.

"It must be that he has broken through a new realm of cultivation. I remember he said more than once that he has been stuck in the bottleneck for many years since he set foot in the realm of opening channels. He has touched the door of the inner strength level, but he has been unable to break through for a long time. Now that he goes out, he will definitely It’s because I went through some things and made a breakthrough in one fell swoop, and by the way, I solved the problem and came back!”

Tao An felt relieved when he thought of this. Although he still didn't know the specific details of his trip, Du Qingfeng's smooth return was the best proof.

Now that he's back, Zhao Yang doesn't have to be so entangled. The days between their master and apprentice will return to the past again... right?

But after all, Zhao Yang's family has been ruined. Can he still return to his previous life? And he has already established communication with Zhao Yang...

"Martial arts in other worlds start with body refining, followed by condensation of qi, then opening of pulses, then internal strengthening, and finally opening up the mysteries and returning to the true state... At the stage of condensing qi, one can become a good hand and can travel around the world. He is the mainstream of the world, and In the realm of opening pulses, one has already entered the ranks of masters. Wherever he goes, there are respectable people who can sign up. In the subsequent realm of inner strength, he is already a very important figure. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as shocking an area. As for Tongxuan, Even if a state like the Yutai Sect is the leader in the world, it is an existence that guards the stability of the sect. The Guizhen realm is simply rare, there are only a few in the entire Hong Kingdom, and Du Qingfeng will reach the Neizhuang realm after breaking through, and he is already a big boss in terms of strength. Even if he has just entered this level, he should not be underestimated. In this case, it is not surprising that he has solved his own problems and returned smoothly."

Thinking of this, Tao An realized that when he was in the realm of Kai Mai, he dared to deal with the affairs of the Zhao family alone. Now that his cultivation has reached a breakthrough, the situation may be reversed. It is not what others want to do to him, but what to do to Zhao Yang. Instead, they have to worry about how they can appease or even make up for what they have committed.

It's even possible that Du Qingfeng has returned with the 'explanation' of the person who destroyed the Zhao family!

With Du Qingfeng's sudden return, things developed so fast that Tao An didn't expect it.

Du Qingfeng did not make any unnecessary moves when he returned. He walked into the small building and disappeared from the surveillance view. Soon Tao An could vaguely hear the sound of him changing clothes.

As time passed, it gradually became dark, and the lights came on on the second floor of the attic. Zhao Yang, who didn't know where he was going, also returned to the small courtyard.

When he stepped into the small courtyard, he was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw the lights, and then asked tentatively: "Master?"

"Yang'er is back? It's getting late, let's take a rest early." Du Qingfeng's voice came out unhurriedly, just like before.

Opening his mouth, Zhao Yang nodded and smiled: "Yes, Master..."

Watching all this silently, Tao An guessed that Zhao Yang must be very uneasy in his heart. He must have a lot to say, but with the master's words that seemed like the past, they seemed to become less important.

He is still a child after all.

Night fell there and it was quiet, but it was still broad daylight here in Tao An.

After being so disturbed by Du Qingfeng's return, Tao An stopped worrying about Baihualu and was not in a hurry to put it on the shelves. He would think about it some more.

There's nothing going on right now. It's my twenty-fourth birthday in a few days, so I might as well pack up and go home to the provincial capital. It's not that far anyway, only a few hours away. It's very convenient. I can still get home for dinner in the evening. The food cooked by daddy...
