In our long-standing and historically rich land of China, many professions have their own rules and taboos. This is especially true for ancient and mysterious crafts.
For instance, when engag...
To avoid worrying Sister-in-law Yingchun, Zhao Youliang told her that Huang Yu had already gone to "gather people" so that they could gang up on the lama. Sister-in-law Yingchun immediately beamed with joy upon hearing this.
"Alright, alright, in that case, I won't worry anymore!"
"Oh, right, Quantum, make sure you treat the immortals to good food and drinks these next few days, don't skimp... No, I'm afraid you won't be willing to spend the money."
"Okay, starting tonight, I'll cook these dishes at our shop and you can take them home. You must offer at least six dishes every day!"
Yingchun's sister-in-law was a practical person, and she was also genuinely kind to Zhao Youliang. That very night, she personally cooked eight dishes for Zhao Youliang to take back to the immortals.
The reason there are eight dishes is because two of them are made specifically for the big yellow dog.
In addition to preparing food and wine, the thoughtful Sister-in-law Yingchun also bought six cartons of good cigarettes for the immortals.
Looking at the two large bags full of things, Zhao Youliang was moved.
At that moment, he suddenly realized how wonderful it was to have a sister who cared about him!
After returning to the paper-making shop, Zhao Youliang followed Yingchun's instructions and offered wine and dishes to the spirits in the hall.
The evil immortal and the seven newly arrived silly roe deer brothers were naturally overjoyed, sniffing around the "offerings" incessantly.
While sniffing, I sighed: Quantum is truly thoughtful; we've come to the right place this time.
When we fight the "foreign monks" in a few days, we brothers will definitely put on a good show.
If we don't make the monks cough up their excrement, then we haven't put in any effort!
The prisoner and Xiong Ba naturally wouldn't compete with the aforementioned immortals for food; they simply chatted with Zhao Youliang.
As for Chang Jie, he was even less interested in the food and drinks, his cross-eyed stare fixed on the cigarette.
Seeing this, Zhao Youliang, driven by curiosity, tried lighting one for his little egg.
Surprisingly, Chang Jie actually started smoking with great relish.
And after smoking it, the whole person... the whole maggot instantly became much more energetic.
Although it was still limp, at least it no longer looked half-dead.
"Quantum, give me another one."
"This thing is called cigarette? That's really good."
"Huh? Oh, okay!" Zhao Youliang was clearly surprised that Egg Brother would like to smoke. After a brief moment of surprise, he quickly did as he was told.
To Zhao Youliang's astonishment, Chang Jie actually smoked half a pack of cigarettes without taking a break!
After that, the guy was obviously dazed and just lay on the eggshell and fell into a deep sleep.
The snot bubbles swelled and shrunk, and the child kept talking in his sleep: "My parents are both dragons, but I am a maggot. How can this be justified?"
Zhao Youliang: "......"
This scene left not only Zhao Youliang speechless, but also the mad prisoner.
While speechless, the prisoner was also somewhat worried:
If the elders of the Chang family saw that their direct descendants had actually been "incited" to become heavy smokers, I wonder if they would give Quantum a good dressing down on the spot...
A moment later, the grasshopper spirit, the leader of the Evil Hall Immortals, came over, lit a cigarette, and spoke with satisfaction.
"Alright, Quantum, we've all eaten and drunk our fill. You can pack up now."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Youliang quickly nodded repeatedly: "Oh, oh, I understand. If the old immortals are satisfied, then..."
At this point, Zhao Youliang suddenly couldn't continue, because he noticed that the food and wine were clearly untouched and still neatly arranged on the offering table.
Seeing Zhao Youliang's expression, the grasshopper spirit immediately guessed what he was thinking.
"Don't be surprised by quantum mechanics; this is how we 'humans' eat."
"All the essence inside has been 'eaten' out, what's left is the shell. You'll know once you taste it."
Driven by curiosity, Zhao Youliang did as instructed, but after taking a bite, he was surprised to find that the food had no flavor.
Not only the food and drinks, but also the alcohol tasted no different from water.
......
After serving Xie Tangxian and the seven silly roe deer brothers, Zhao Youliang took the food he had specially prepared for the big yellow dog to the front yard.
"Hey Dog Bro, Monkey Bro, are you asleep yet? If not, come out for a midnight snack!"
There's a saying that goes: "He sleeps later than a dog and gets up earlier than a rooster."
Therefore, the big yellow dog naturally didn't sleep.
After emerging from the doghouse, he was taken aback when he saw the food and wine that Zhao Youliang had laid out in front of him, but then a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
Then he started eating without any hesitation, showing no intention of sharing with Zhao Youliang.
Zhao Youliang didn't mind at all. Instead, he plopped down on the ground, opened a bottle of beer, and started drinking.
While drinking, he chatted with the big yellow dog: "Brother Dog, you keep eating, I have something to tell you."
"I'm going to have a duel with that stinky monk in a couple of days, but I'm not really confident about it."
“I figured it out last night: you were scared away by that stinky monk, and the spirits in the backyard can’t beat you, which means they can’t beat those monks either.”
“If Brother Huang can’t get a more powerful immortal to help, I don’t plan to take them with me.”
"It's better for me to be killed by that stinky monk than for us all to die together, right?"
At this point, Zhao Youliang sighed, took a big gulp of wine, and then continued.
"Even if the monk beats me to death, I won't give them the stuff. Giving it to them would be admitting that I stole it, wouldn't it?"
"If I really don't come back, you can take care of Xiaojiaozi from now on."
"No matter where you go to grab some good food, remember to share some with him."
"When you get old and can't be a hooligan anymore, go eat at Sister Yingchun's place."
"I still have a few thousand yuan left, I'll deposit it all with you and Xiaojiaozi at my place..."
Zhao Youliang drank a lot that night, and after drinking too much, he talked a lot.
Finally, he lost consciousness and just lay on the ground asleep.
In fact, ever since Zhao Youliang uttered his first words, the big yellow dog had been listening intently while eating.
A gleam of intelligence shone in the dog's eyes.
After Zhao Youliang fell asleep, the dog actually showed a helpless expression on its face.
Then, wiggling its big butt, it ran back into the house, dragged out the blanket, and covered Zhao Youliang with it.
After that, he went inside himself and stayed with Zhao Youliang until dawn.
Even when the two little lackeys tried to take advantage of Zhao Youliang, the big yellow dog stopped them.
At this moment, Da Huang treated Zhao Youliang like a loving father...
"Oh my god, my head hurts so much!"
After waking up from a hangover, Zhao Youliang's first reaction was to bang his head on the ground.
I forced my eyes open, and what came into view was a dog's face with a steel helmet on its head.
"Holy crap! Dog, Dog Bro?"
Startled, Zhao Youliang regained his senses and quickly looked around.
He was clearly blacked out and couldn't remember what happened last night.
"Seriously, Dog Bro, how could you be so despicable!"
"You took advantage of me being drunk and dragged me outside to freeze all night?!"
The big yellow dog was stunned; the fatherly demeanor it had displayed the night before vanished instantly.
With a roar, he tackled Zhao Youliang to the ground and beat him mercilessly, while his two lackeys joined in with smiles.
Zhao Youliang's screams mingled with the chirping of birds, echoing throughout the entire town.
And so, a bright and sunny day began...
