I took a deep breath and said, "It's almost winter, and it's almost impossible to hide the pickup truck in the woods."
"I'm worried..." I deliberately emphasized the word a little harder: "The nights are long and there are many dreams."
Duan Xu's face lost all amusement: "According to my master's condition, he can now recall the method of unlocking, but there are still a few people left."
"I want to wait until my master has completely recovered before letting them come."
I remembered what he had said to me before, and asked again: "We need to take out the tags on these people and make them together into a key, right?"
"right."
I nodded to myself: "I think you can let them leave. This should be done sooner rather than later."
Duan Xu thought for a moment: "That's okay, I'll contact them shortly and ask them to arrive as soon as possible."
"good."
Standing at the window, I looked out the window: "I always feel that the Taoist temple is a bit empty. Can you help me with my advice?"
Duan Xu chuckled: "I don't know much about design. I think it's pretty good."
I pointed my finger to the wishing well: "I want to get a little gadget here."
"For example, erect a monument?"
Duan Xu rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Don't ask me, I really don't understand."
Duan Xu and I laughed at the same time.
He actually knew my identity for a long time, but he still cooperated with me in acting. He was probably planning some big move behind him.
As for me, I figured out his plan, and he thought I was kept in the dark.
You will soon know who is the prey and who is the hunter.
Duan Xu and his master stayed in the Taoist temple temporarily, and the person Duan Xu mentioned would arrive in Monan in about two days.
When Xiaomei was not busy, I slipped into her pharmacy.
When we first built the Taoist temple, Xiaomei specifically asked me to leave a room for her that does not face the sun.
Firstly, it is easier to preserve medicinal materials, and secondly, it can provide a good living environment for Gu insects.
When I arrived at the door, I saw that Xiaomei had hung a sign on the door with four big words: No entry unless required.
I stood at the door and called her, but she just asked me to wait for a few minutes and hung up the phone in a hurry.
Let me just say, I am just a handyman in this Taoist temple. Even if it is something I built with my own hands, I have to obey other people's orders.
Soon, the door was opened, and an extremely strong scent of medicine spread to my nose.
Xiaomei wiped the black ash on her face and found a way out: "Please come in quickly, master."
The earthen pot on the stove was bubbling, and a faint black ash floated in the air.
I grabbed a small bench and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Xiaomei casually pulled off the towel around her neck and wiped the sweat on her face: "I'm thinking of making more medicine, so you can take some with you when you go out."
I babbled at the door: "Did you hang the sign?"
"Yes!" Xiaomei put her hands on her hips and said confidently: "My place is about human life, how can I let anyone in?"
That’s right, it’s better to be cautious about this matter.
After a pause, I said a little guiltily: "It's been so long, and I, the master, haven't really bothered much."
"I know you're busy." Xiaomei fanned the stove and turned to look at me: "You can't help me with my medical skills, so I'm content to keep this room for me."
"Also, I really like my life now. I can do the things I like in peace. No amount of money can buy this."
I looked at the small cabin and said, "Okay, as long as you're satisfied."
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Xiaomei pointed it out to me very directly: "Don't ask me how I know this. You are so busy right now that you are hitting the back of your head. Nothing will happen."
I chuckled and said, "In a few days, a few people will come."
"These guys should be making me a condom, waiting for me to get in. I want you to get some medicine out."
"Poison? Laxative?"
I shook my head: "None of them."
I hesitated for a moment: "It's the kind of medicine that can make him listen to me."
Xiaomei looked me up and down: "Male?"
"yes."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Xiaomei grinned from ear to ear: "Master, you must not get sick. Syphilis is not easy to cure."
"roll roll roll."
