After listening to Zhang Xudong's words, He Jingxian pointed to the sky and said:
"Brother Dong, you're not talking about that place, are you?"
"Girl, what do you think? Should we give it to him or not?" Zhang Xudong asked.
After hearing this, the old Taoist quickly said, "Girl, as long as the place is suitable, I will ask them to give you some good things to compensate you.
Just ask for it when the time comes, they have plenty of good stuff."
He Jingxian then said reluctantly: "Okay, but you have to return it to us later."
The old Taoist quickly agreed and told them to go back to their homes after the crisis was over.
Zhang Xudong told the Taoist priest about the mountaintop ranch.
Finally, he said, “That place cannot be reached without strong internal energy skills, so it is kept very secret.
It is difficult to build houses and use water on it.
The water in the pond above is drinkable for buffaloes and sheep, but I wonder if humans can drink it?"
The Taoist priest was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "That's not a problem. As long as there is water, it will be fine. At most, we can filter it and boil it before drinking.
You said that there is a ready-made flock of sheep in that place. By replacing the weeds with high-quality pasture, the flock can be expanded, which ensures the food problem.
Let the grass optimize the land for a few years, and you can also grow some crops.
The house could be built using local materials, such as stones. The place could be used as a storage place for books, and only a small number of people would be needed to look after it, which would make it easier to keep it secret.
We'll leave tomorrow and take a look at it in person.
If you can, then it's the perfect place, because it's your territory and you can do more."
The next morning, the old Taoist went to change a jeep and came back, urging Zhang Xudong and the other man to set off.
He Jingxian was driving this time, so Zhang Xudong could only sit in the passenger seat and kept reminding him to drive slower.
After a journey of five or six hundred miles, they arrived in Qingshan County at two o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhang Xudong refused to let me go any further. I hadn't seen my grandmother and little sister in such a long time, so I had to go home first when I passed by.
He Jingxian didn't leave either. She hadn't eaten the dishes cooked by her grandma for a long time and she was a little greedy.
The old Taoist can only follow the host's wishes. Besides, it's time to visit the old lady.
As soon as the car stopped in front of the yard gate, the two dogs in the yard rushed out, barking and wagging their tails at the car.
Zhang Xudong first secretly put the little fox under the car and let it run back to the yard by itself.
As soon as Zhang Xudong and He Jingxian got out of the car, the two dogs immediately ran back and forth, sniffing here and there, lying on the ground wagging their tails or rolling around.
He Jingxian rubbed the two dogs' heads curiously and was extremely happy.
Zhang Xudong patted the two dogs' heads, told them to go away, and asked the Taoist priest to get out of the car.
This is Zhang Xiyan holding the little fox and running out. She saw Zhang Xudong's aunt He Jingxian and shouted, "Grandma, my brother and sister-in-law are back."
While throwing away the little fox, he threw himself into He Jingxian's arms and said, "Sister-in-law, Yanyan misses you."
He Jingxian blushed and said, "Yanyan, I miss you and grandma too. But can you still call me sister?"
"No, grandma said that as long as you are engaged, you can call me sister-in-law. Sister-in-law is a family member, but sister is not." He Jingxian said chatteringly.
He Jingxian had no choice but to accept it willingly.
The old lady also came out of the house, and when she saw He Jingxian, she no longer had eyes for anyone else.
He didn't even look at Zhang Xudong and the old Taoist priest, but kept pulling her aside to ask her all sorts of questions.
Zhang Xudong touched his nose, gave his grandmother an apologetic smile, and then said to her:
"Grandma, there are two living people here. Can you tell me who this one is?"
The old lady then looked at Zhang Xudong and the old Taoist priest.
"Are you the Taoist priest? Dongzi's benefactor?"
Grandma spoke to the Taoist priest a little hesitantly. After all, they hadn't seen each other for eight or nine years, and she didn't dare to confirm it right away.
"Good old man, I, the Taoist priest, want to eat the food you cook, so I come to disturb you again." The Taoist priest said to the old lady.
The old lady smiled happily:
"Okay, as long as you want to eat, I will cook for you every day.
I don't know how to repay you for saving my Dongzi.
Dongzi, go to the kitchen and see if there's anything missing. If there's anything missing, go buy me some more immediately.
Since Miss Jing and the Taoist priest are here, we must prepare something rich. Go quickly, you foolish boy with no sense of propriety.
Taoist Priest, Jing girl, please come inside and sit down. It's cold outside."
Feeling rejected, Zhang Xudong immediately slipped into the kitchen.
He Jingxian and Zhang Xiyan both looked at Zhang Xudong with gloating eyes.
Zhang Xudong walked around the kitchen and realized that the house actually had everything it needed.
He had already secretly licked the food for the family twice at night. Grandma must have known that he was the one who did it.
But he seemed to be determined to do it, so he went outside with the basket on his back and took a walk. When he came back, the basket was full.
Zhang Xudong simply made a few bowls of shredded pork noodles in the kitchen and let the Taoist priest and He Jingxian fill their stomachs first.
Because they were in a hurry to get on the road, they didn't have time to eat lunch, and now all three of them are starving.
After dinner, Zhang Xudong cleaned out a guest room in the west wing and let the old Taoist rest there first.
He Jingxian's driving all the way was very bumpy for the old driver.
If it weren't for the Taoist's extraordinary kung fu, he would have been reincarnated long ago.
He Jingxian was still full of energy and lively, chatting with her grandmother and younger sister.
When Zhang Xudong saw that there was nothing for him to do, he went to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients.
At least there must be some solid dishes for dinner.
