Xia Mei Village, this place wasn't originally called Xia Mei Village, it was called Mei Zhuang.
It is said that the reason why the villagers took the surname Mei was because the great philanthropist in the village was surnamed Mei.
The place where Guangyi and his team filmed before was the Mei Mansion.
In those days, wars raged constantly. Plum Village, due to its remote location, remained peaceful and unaffected by external forces.
The owner of Meizhuang was a descendant of officials who controlled the local silk and maritime trade. Everyone called him Master Mei. Master Mei's first wife died early, and he never remarried. He had only one daughter, who was very beautiful and famous in the area. The line of suitors could stretch all the way to the village entrance.
Later, I heard from the village elders that when the beautiful daughter was nineteen, she married a student from out of town named Zhou. Zhou was an orphan with only a younger sister who had been lost and whom they hadn't yet found, so his family situation was simple. In addition, he was handsome, had a refined air about him, and was a literate scholar.
The beautiful daughter took a liking to the scholar at first sight.
The story takes place after the two got married.
It happened when Mr. Zhou went to sea with the Mei family. On the return trip, he unexpectedly ran into his sister. At that time, Mr. Zhou's sister was a young leading actress in a theatrical troupe. The two siblings were separated when they were young due to war. However, his sister looked exactly like his mother, and Mr. Zhou recognized her almost at first glance.
After some complications, Zhou's younger sister still went back to the Mei family with her brother.
Miss Mei was a kind-hearted woman who felt sorry for her troubled sister-in-law. In addition, due to her husband's relationship with her, the two became like sisters. Whatever Miss Mei had, Sister Zhou would also have.
Even the father.
Later, Sister Zhou suddenly got married, but no one knew when she got married or who she married. She left Plum Village quietly.
Later, the Mei family moved away from Mei Village, leaving only this house behind.
...
Looking back on this story now, Xu Qian believes that Zhou Meimei most likely did not leave Meizhuang, or even died there.
"Roasted chicken legs are here!"
On Xu Qian's table was a plate of roasted chicken legs. The meat on the legs had been cut open, revealing rich and tempting juices, which were served with this fragrant chili sauce.
"Ah, this barbecue place is still the best!" Sheng Huai couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Beer?" Xu Qian opened a can of beer. How could you have barbecue without drinking ice-cold beer?
"Okay." Sheng Huai nodded, his chopsticks already moving.
Xu Qian handed him the can he had, then opened another one for himself. The chilled beer in his hand brought a refreshing coolness to the sweltering night.
Meanwhile, Qin You, who was far away at school, was being dragged into playing games with a group of people.
For example, Fu Tianlei, who is currently in the hospital.
"Awesome! Brother You is awesome!"
Just now, the sight of Qin You taking on three opponents and escaping unscathed made Fu Tianlei, the team's support player who was just coasting along, shout out loud.
"Sanshi, don't get too excited, calm down, stay composed." The team's top laner turned on his microphone.
"Are you alright?" Qin You asked with concern.
"Oh dear, I'm not Lin Daiyu, I'm not that fragile." Although he said that, Fu Tianlei still restrained himself. He told himself: This is all basic stuff for a jungler, Mo 6, stay calm!
"It's eleven o'clock, lights out." Qin You glanced outside; the building manager was calling for lights out.
"Let's rest after this game, we have to go to work tomorrow." The mid laner said.
Suddenly, the ADC spoke up and asked Qin You, "Hey Qin, are you free this Saturday? I have a tournament and I need a jungler. Want to play a game?"
"A game competition?" Qin You replied casually.
"Yes, it's organized by the internet cafe around here. If you're free on Saturday, you can come and play a game. We all know each other."
"I remember the prize money for the final victory was 100,000 yuan?" Fu Tianlei seemed to know a little about it.
"Yes, that's the one. I was thinking of inviting you to join too, so we could split the winnings."
One hundred thousand yuan, even if split equally, that's twenty thousand yuan...
Qin You really wanted it; he was quite short of money right now, so he wanted to save as much as he could.
"Send me your address and phone number," Qin You said.
"Okay!" The ADC knew that this meant he had agreed.
...
The next day, Qin You went to class on time.
The morning class was advanced mathematics, all of which Xu Qian had already studied. However, he still listened to it again. The other students in the class were also very attentive. After all, they were all freshmen who had a solid foundation from high school, and their 'fear' of the teacher was at its peak. But it's hard to say what will happen in another six months or a year.
Because of his injured hand, Fang Zhe simply brought his tablet to the classroom and would occasionally take a picture of a PPT slide as a form of note-taking.
"Why are you filming this?" Qin You asked, somewhat puzzled.
"I'll use it as notes! I'll organize them when my hand is better. I'll just take a picture of it now. Isn't that clever?" Fang Zhe was even a little proud.
Qin You glanced at him lightly, "If it's a PPT, you can just ask the teacher to copy it." As he spoke, Xu Qian took out his USB drive. That's what you call clever!
"...Damn it! Why didn't you say so earlier!" Fang Zhe exploded.
"I thought your brother would tell you." Qin You felt quite innocent.
"Then you copy it first, and I'll borrow a copy later." Before Fang Zhe could finish speaking, Yang Qian's voice suddenly came from the back seat.
"Qin You, Qin You, can I borrow your copy later too?"
Qin You turned to look at her, "I'll just send it to the group chat later."
"Okay, okay~"
Just last night at the class meeting, Yang Qian became their new class monitor. Everyone had seen Yang Qian's abilities during the military training. Although it was somewhat a pity that Qin You did not continue as the monitor, Yang Qian's appointment was also welcomed by everyone.
After finishing his two morning classes, Qin You asked the teacher to copy the course materials, only to find it was only 10 a.m. He felt a pang of regret, wondering why the other two afternoon classes weren't moved to the morning; that way, he could have attended the seminar. But he could only dream about it.
“Let’s go to the supermarket, I want to eat an apple…” Fang Zhe said.
Qin You didn't refute, he just nodded.
As soon as the two stepped out of the teaching building, they saw a motorcycle coming towards them. The driver was clearly a student, very young.
Qin You glanced at the other person's motorcycle and was somewhat tempted. In this city where the Great Lightness Skill could not be used, having a motorcycle should be a very convenient option. He could use his puppet identity to learn it, and once he learned it, he could buy a motorcycle and put it in his backpack so he could use it anywhere.
"Tsk, trying to look cool at school." Fang Zhe muttered to himself. He personally disliked people who tried to look cool, even though he was indeed quite handsome.
"Motorcycles shouldn't be too hard to learn, right?" Qin You asked Fang Zhe.
"You want to learn?" Fang Zhe was a little surprised. "But if you take the motorcycle test, you have to wait a year before you can take the driving test."
"I'll learn to ride a motorcycle, but I don't want to take the driving test." The main reason is that Qin You has a bit of a phobia of cars because of his parents' car accident. He's okay with riding in them, but it's impossible for him to drive or learn to drive.
"...Motorcycles shouldn't be too difficult, right?" Fang Zhe didn't really have much experience, but he could see the resistance on Qin You's face towards learning to drive.
Thinking of this, Qin You immediately contacted Meng Ziqiu and asked if he knew any driving schools, as he wanted to learn to ride a motorcycle.
Meng Ziqiu:
...? ? ?
Why did you suddenly want to learn this?
Qin You:
[Picture] Pretty cool.
He took a picture of a student who had just ridden a motorcycle.
Meng Ziqiu:
←_← I'll go ask for you.
Qin You:
Um.
Soon, Meng Ziqiu sent a phone number; it belonged to a driving school instructor. The school was only two stops away, which was quite close. Qin You decided to go to the driving school right away.
Just like that, Fang Zhe watched as Qin You finalized the matter of learning to ride a motorcycle in the blink of an eye with just one phone call, without even giving it much thought.
"...That's it?" Fang Zhe was stunned.
"What do you mean, 'just like that'?" Qin You asked, puzzled.
"No, I mean, you're going to learn to ride a motorcycle?"
Qin You nodded. Strictly speaking, he didn't have many classes this semester, so he actually had a lot of free time. Learning to ride a motorcycle shouldn't be too difficult.
"...Fine, you win." Fang Zhe remained silent.
"Could you take my books back for me? I'm heading straight to the driving school now. Could you also pick up my books for this afternoon?" Qin You handed his textbooks to Fang Zhe's other, uninjured hand without any hesitation.
"...Okay."
At the same time that Qin You rushed to the driving school, Xu Qian's scenes in episode six were announced to have ended, and he and Sheng Huai went to the dressing room to remove their makeup and change clothes.
"I don't see you exercising much, and you eat and drink a lot. How do you maintain this figure?" Sheng Huai looked at Xu Qian's waist with a hint of envy. His V-line and abs made him very envious.
"Who says I don't exercise? My cousin owns a gym." Xu Qian's ability to lie through his teeth is getting better and better every day.
"Tsk, let me touch it to see if it's real?" Sheng Huai touched it when he wasn't looking, and... well, it's real.
Xu Qian slapped his hand away, changed into his own clothes, and covered up his V-line.
Sheng Huai felt a little regretful; as a straight man, he also envied people with that kind of figure.
After changing their clothes, each putting on a hat and sunglasses, the two left the film studio together. Sheng Huai drove them to the Weicheng Gymnasium, knowing that Xu Qian couldn't drive.
The game was scheduled to start in the afternoon, but people started arriving at the venue gradually from the morning.
Since there was still some time before it started, Sheng Huai suggested that they go have lunch first, and then they could go in after lunch.
Xu Qian was visiting Weicheng Gymnasium for the first time and wasn't very familiar with the area, so he left all the arrangements to Sheng Huai.
On their way there and while eating, the two were recognized by passersby, who offered them photos and autographs. Sheng Huai was clearly quite adept at handling this situation, after all, he was a veteran actor.
After a somewhat 'winding' lunch, the two entered the stadium with their tickets. Both of Sheng Huai's tickets were top-tier seats, the best seats in the stands, showing that he was quite interested in the game.
While the two were quietly watching the game, Xu Qian received a message from Meng Ziqiu saying that the conversation he had sent him earlier had been translated.
The translation made Xu Qian suddenly realize something.
It turns out that the dark red box was a mid-level magical artifact. The female ghost was able to wreak havoc on the human world by chance, relying on the power of that artifact.
As for that monk named Neil, he was actually a merchant of magical artifacts!
