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...
The moment Chang Jie was placed on the memorial tablet, Zhao Youliang suddenly felt a particularly warm and content feeling.
It's like being outside freezing all night on a cold winter's day, then suddenly returning to a warm indoor space and having a bowl of hot eight-treasure porridge.
At the same time, his senses became more acute, with his vision, smell, and hearing all being greatly enhanced.
"So that's how it can be done..." Zhao Youliang murmured to himself.
"Is this the benefit of spiritual practice?"
Just then, Sister Yingchun hurriedly walked in through the back door.
"Quantum, you're back just in time! Hurry up and come with me to the village entrance to greet our VIP!"
"The new town mayor organized it; everyone who has nothing to do should go!"
"Welcoming distinguished guests?" Zhao Youliang was taken aback. "Sis, when did you become so obedient to the town mayor?"
The next sentence was Zhao Youliang's teasing remark: "Is the new town mayor a really nice person?"
Mentioning the new town mayor, Sister Yingchun's face immediately showed disgust: "What's so good about him? He's just like that guy surnamed Ma, they're birds of a feather."
"When it comes to electing the town mayor, it's always the same five families taking turns."
"We're not going to greet the VIPs to give face to the town mayor, but because those VIPs are truly distinguished people, very kind people!"
Hearing Yingchun's sister-in-law's evaluation, the mysterious guest immediately aroused Zhao Youliang's curiosity.
"Sis, do you know that VIP?"
Sister-in-law Yingchun had a short temper, and she answered while pulling Zhao Youliang outside.
"My sister-in-law has never seen what a VIP looks like, but he really is a very good person!"
"You know the primary school outside the town? That's the one this distinguished guest built for us for free twenty years ago!"
"It's not just the school, but the nursing home next door is the same!"
"Furthermore, the teachers at the school and the workers at the nursing home were all hired by this VIP at his own expense!"
"If that weren't the case, why do you think children go to school for free, and the elderly living on welfare don't have to pay for their old age!"
"You really think this is a good deed done by the mayor? Bah!"
After hearing Yingchun's introduction, Zhao Youliang immediately felt curious and respectful towards this mysterious guest.
After all, in today's profit-driven society, there are very few people willing to make such selfless contributions.
When Sister Yingchun led Zhao Youliang to the entrance of the town, they found it already packed with people.
People came from all walks, from eighty-year-old seniors to toddlers.
The fact that it could be so large was clearly not due to the new town mayor's strong organizational skills, but rather because that mysterious VIP truly won people's hearts.
What surprised Zhao Youliang the most was that even his own big yellow dog was in the welcoming party.
And surprisingly, he didn't bully anyone; instead, he honestly looked into the distance, his eyes full of anticipation.
Wait, are you looking forward to it?
Does this scoundrel know the VIP?
If that's the case, then this is even more amazing.
A little while later, the newly appointed Mayor Guo had already organized people to put up welcome banners, and the surrounding walls were covered with bright red welcome slogans.
They even prepared gongs, drums, and firecrackers.
According to the surrounding residents, even the last time the county magistrate came, it wasn't as grand or lively as this time.
After much anticipation, a car finally drove up from afar.
Although Zhao Youliang came from a poor background, he still had some knowledge of cars due to his male nature.
Therefore, they knew that the approaching car was not a luxury vehicle, but just an ordinary family sedan.
Such a shabby place could hardly be home to any so-called VIPs.
As it turns out, he wasn't the only one who thought this way; the town government staff member in charge of maintaining traffic also thought the same.
After stopping the car, they seemed to say something, and the family sedan obediently pulled over.
Then, in addition to the driver, an adult and a child came out of the car.
Zhao Youliang, who had just received a boost, had excellent eyesight and was immediately attracted by the newcomer's demeanor.
The newcomer was dressed in a light blue long robe, clean and tidy.
He held a book in one hand and a child beside him with the other.
The man looked to be in his early thirties, and he looked like a fairy from a mythological movie.
Nothing can describe him except the phrase "handsome and dashing".
The graying temples do not make a man look old; on the contrary, they add to his mature charm.
The child the man was holding was a little monk, the kind that was incredibly cute.
One hand is always clasped together in front of the chest.
The little monk seemed very shy; if it weren't for the man holding him back, he probably would have hidden behind him long ago.
At this moment, Zhao Youliang had a strong feeling: the man in front of him was the VIP they had been waiting for!
These people are simply blind to the great man, or they judge people by their appearance, so they overlooked it!
Just as Zhao Youliang was wondering whether he should remind everyone, the man led the little monk slowly over.
His every step exuded composure, amiable yet dignified.
That was like an emperor traveling incognito, taking in the beauty of his great land.
Rule the world!
At this moment, Zhao Youliang was deeply attracted by the man's charm and stared at him intently.
While Zhao Youliang was engrossed in his thoughts, the man had already walked to a place more than ten meters away from the welcoming team.
A series of "woof woof" sounds "woke" Zhao Youliang up. He looked around and found that it was his own big yellow dog making the noise.
At this moment, the big yellow dog behaved even more strangely, staring intently at the man in front of it.
There was no trace of his usual ferocity in his eyes; only longing, respect, and awe.
Judging from the way the rascal looked, it seemed like it wanted to get close to the man but didn't dare, so it kept whimpering anxiously.
Just then, the man also saw the big yellow dog and immediately greeted it with a smile.
"Big Yellow, it's been over twenty years, how have you been?"
Upon hearing the man speak, the big yellow dog couldn't hold back any longer. With tears in its eyes, it quickly ran to the man's feet and rubbed against his legs repeatedly, expressing its deep longing.
As the town's bully, the big yellow dog's actions immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone turned their gaze in that direction.
This one glance was all it took; she was immediately captivated by the man's unparalleled charm and couldn't look away.
The most surprised person was the newly appointed mayor, Guo. He rubbed his eyes carefully, took out a photo from his clothes and compared it repeatedly before exclaiming "Ah!"
He then hurriedly ran to meet her.
"Mr. Hua, is it really you?!"
"It's been two years, and you haven't changed at all!"
"No, no, she looks even younger!"
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry! I was blind and didn't recognize you!!"
The man clearly had an excellent memory; he recognized Mayor Guo at a glance and immediately smiled and reached out his hand.
"Ten years have passed. How have you been?"
"Good, good, good!" Seeing that the man actually recognized him, the town mayor, who usually thought he was above everyone else, was actually full of excitement.
He seemed even happier than if he had become the town mayor.
He was so excited that he was at a loss for words and couldn't speak for a long time.
