"If someone is looking for me, just let him in. And even if he wants to stop him, it's not your turn to stop him."
Dongfang Shiming looked up at the familiar voice. As expected, the one who came out of the door was Ju Wuzhu.
When Fu Yunge saw it was him, he had no choice but to stop immediately because of his feelings. The man named Tong Niu stopped pestering him when he heard the eldest son coming out.
The current scene might not be so simple if Ju Wuzhu had come out a little later.
When Ju Wuzhu saw the two of them, he walked out quickly and enthusiastically. Tongniu saw that they knew the eldest son, and knew that he would not get any good results if he continued to stay here, so he ran away angrily.
"You two, I'm so sorry." Ju Wuzhu's face was full of humility and apology, and he bowed slightly to Fu Yunge.
"Master Yu, please don't take it to heart. That man's name is Tong Niu, and he is a scoundrel from Pima Village. If Master Yu is offended, please let me make compensation on behalf of Jushi Winery."
Ju Wuzhu had already given him enough face by saying this, so of course Fu Yunge understood. What's more, it's your own fault to make a fuss in front of someone else's house, so how can you punish them and demand compensation?
"Thank you sir, I'm not offended by this trivial matter." Fu Yunge waved his hand.
Dongfang Shiming also walked over and expressed his gratitude to Ju Wuzhu.
The two simply explained their purpose of coming, and Ju Wuzhu insisted that they stay one night at Ju's Winery. The two of them couldn't resist, so they followed Ju Wuzhu into the winery.
"Why did that scoundrel named Tongniu just come out of Jushi Winery?"
Walking on the road, Fu Yunge asked puzzledly.
"That's his weekly homework." Ju Wuzhu shrugged helplessly.
"You two don't know something." Ju Wuzhu told the two of them calmly, "It's like this. His father, who died young, once lived at the original site of the wine storage site. Later, due to the construction of the winery, we funded the purchase of that place. The land of the people living in the area.”
"His father estimated that he would not live long, so he insisted not to sell it, but only rented the land to us. Later, when he passed away, we gave his underachieving son a fixed amount of land rent every month as living expenses. "
"Later, Tongniu Lao Niang gradually became old and frail. And he had no skills, so we decided to change the monthly rent payment to a weekly payment, and also increased the rent payment."
As he said that, Ju Wuzhu sighed and shook his head: "We can't let him live in poverty, right? After all, we are fellow villagers. Although we hate him, we can't abandon him."
Fu Yunge and Dongfang Shiming listened to his eloquent talk, and their attitudes toward Ju's Winery and Ju Wuzhu became much friendly.
As the old saying goes, one can tell even the smallest detail. They can treat a family of scoundrels with such care, which shows that their good reputation is not unfounded. The fame of Château Cuisine may be inseparable from their moral conduct.
After walking a little further on the cobblestone path, the refreshing night breeze gradually mixed with the sweet fragrance of wine.
Fu Yunge couldn't help but sniff, and saw a faint flashing light behind a rockery in the distance.
"Is that... the brewery over there?" Fu Yunge looked over there and pointed at Ju Wuzhu.
"Yes, our Cuisine Winery is contracted to brew wine in many places, so even at night, there are still wineries working in shifts."
Ju Wuzhu looked over there and said, "Do you two know how to drink? There is nothing good in our village, only the thin wine that I can barely handle."
"No... no, I think there's no need. Dongfang Shiming and I don't drink." Fu Yunge waved his hands after hearing this.
The three of them walked for a short distance, and behind them was the guest room built by Ju's Winery to accommodate merchants.
"You two will stay here for one night for now. The reception was not good tonight. I apologize to you two on behalf of Ju's Winery." Ju Wuzhu bowed to the two of them humbly and prepared to go back.
"Master Ju, before we say goodbye, I wonder if I can ask you a question." Seeing that he was about to leave, Dongfang Shiming thought that it wouldn't be too late, so he tentatively spoke.
"Master Dongfang, please speak." Ju Wuzhu turned around immediately.
Dongfang Shiming then asked: "It is said that your father will participate in the upcoming auction this time. Is that true?"
Ju Wuzhu was slightly startled. But he quickly smiled kindly: "That's right. I didn't expect the news to have spread."
"But, my father didn't seem to be keen on this kind of activity before. I don't know if this time..." Dongfang Shiming felt a little embarrassed to speak. If you keep asking like this, it feels like you are questioning the other person.
Ju Wuzhu's eyes became darker, looking a lot more melancholy than before.
The night wind slowly died down, and everything seemed to be stagnant under the night sky as deep as a pool of water.
"If it's inconvenient, then..." Dongfang Shiming saw that his expression was wrong, so he stopped forcing things.
"No, it's okay." Ju Wuzhu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Actually, it's nothing. Father, he has taken a fancy to the Golden Wind Peony that is about to be auctioned."
"According to the doctor, the treasure is top-grade fairy grass, and it is the only medicine that can save my mother. If it can be successfully photographed, my mother's illness will be cured."
"This..." Dongfang Shiming and Fu Yunge looked at each other. It turns out that this is the reason. It turns out that they were overly worried before.
Dongfang Shiming felt guilty, so he bowed deeply to Ju Wuzhu.
"...I'm really sorry for making you say this."
Ju Wuzhu helped Dongfang Shiming up and told him not to take it to heart. After saying a few words of farewell, Ju Wuzhu said goodbye and left.
Looking at the watery night sky and the fading figure, Dongfang Shiming suddenly felt a little inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.
"...What do you think?" Fu Yunge couldn't help but ask when he saw that Dongfang Shiming, who had always been reliable, was deep in thought.
Dongfang Shiming lowered his eyelids, and the hair on his forehead slowly covered his eyes.
There was a rustling sound in the forest behind the bright moon, which was the turbulent wind that often occurs on spring nights.
"It's okay. Tomorrow morning, we will go out immediately to find out the relevant news." Dongfang Shiming murmured.
The two of them chose two adjacent rooms to stay. The house is clean and tidy, and everything you need is available.
After bidding farewell to Dongfang Shiming and Fu Yunge, he returned to his room and sat cross-legged on the bed. After holding his breath for a moment, he began to continue practicing the "Thirteen Essays on Yunji".
He has already studied the second form, "Qi Condensation Cloud Flow".
According to the steps in "Yunji Thirteen Shu", this pose seems to be a successor to the first pose, and it still serves to build the foundation of the true energy in the body.
According to what is recorded in the scriptures, when the true energy gathers at the Tianchi point, the operation of the meridians of other bodies seems to be different. From the original route to the current arbitrary route, he seems to have begun to understand the mysterious power of Yue Shenchen and others.
So this is ah. This thought flashed through Fu Yunge's mind, and he suddenly felt a sincere joy.
As if from chaos to clarity, he began to understand the principles of the new martial arts as if snow melted away.
…………
Early the next morning, Fu Yunge and the others were going to express their gratitude to Ju Wuzhu and prepare to go out to continue the investigation. However, when they met Ju Wuzhu, they found that his expression was a little unnatural.
"What's wrong? Looking at you, what happened?" Dongfang Shiming stepped forward and asked.
"If there is anything we can do to help, please stay silent. We will try our best to help you." Fu Yunge also immediately expressed his stance.
Ju Wuzhu seemed to be trying to hide his inner uneasiness, but shrugged nonchalantly: "No, it's nothing. Don't worry, you two."
Dongfang Shiming stared at him for a while, feeling increasingly uneasy.
He simply felt relieved, took another step closer and asked, "I think there must be a special situation in the auction."
Fu Yunge looked sideways at Dongfang Shiming. Although he was a little surprised, it was not that he could not understand the basis for what he said.
Ju Wuzhu was obviously much more surprised than Fu Yunge. Dongfang Shiming keenly caught his expression and immediately said: "Please also tell us the whole story. We have been tracking the recent auction-related matters, and it is impossible to ignore this unexpected situation."
Turning the heel of his shoe slightly, Ju Wuzhu thought about it for a while and finally agreed.
