At this time, Gu Mingtai was talking to Chief Gao.
"Comrade Gu, thank you so much for this. The Gao family owes you a favor. If you two need the Gao family's help in the future, we will definitely help you. Also, please keep what happened today a secret. Please."
Gu Mingtai and Zhang Meng both knew what Chief Gao meant.
In this critical era, if any family is found to have traces of R people, it will be evidence of treason. Not to mention that the Gao family is extremely powerful now, once it is involved in such things, facing national interests, the Gao family will be like fish on the chopping board, and will be at the mercy of others.
Gu Mingtai nodded happily. Even if the other party didn't confess, he and his wife would not get involved in this trouble.
After receiving 10,000 yuan in hard work compensation, the couple returned to Zhangjia Village in the car sent by the Gao family.
As soon as she got home, Zhang Meng ran back home and took out the realgar wine that Grandma Zhang had made during the Dragon Boat Festival and applied it on her neck.
As a result, she was about to finish the jar of realgar wine made by Grandma Zhang, but the little white snake didn't move at all and showed no sign of coming down.
When Monk Jingchen and Gu Mingtai walked into the yard, they smelled the scent of wine all over the yard.
"You little spendthrift girl, you actually used up all your grandma's realgar wine. How could you be such a spendthrift? If you don't want to drink it, throw it to me. I, an old man, like to drink."
Monk Jingchen ran over and took the jar away. He looked down and was shocked. It seemed like a full jar of realgar wine yesterday, but now there were only a few sips left. Feeling distressed, he quickly held the jar to his mouth and drank the remaining sips of wine.
He smacked his lips a few times, and that was enough. It also aroused his craving for alcohol, making him want to drink even more.
Zhang Meng felt a little embarrassed when she saw him holding on to the empty jar and refused to let go. She quickly promised, "Master Jingchen, next time I go out, I'll buy you a bottle of foreign wine and let you try it."
Upon hearing this, Monk Jingchen immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, I can't stand drinking those foreign wines. I like drinking Chinese wine, that's the real wine."
Zhang Meng smiled and immediately said, "Okay, okay, I'll go to the county town in a couple of days and bring you some Chinese wine, okay?"
"Okay." At this time, Gu Mingtai came over with a towel and wiped her neck.
Monk Jingchen then realized that the entire jar of wine had been spilled on it. He frowned and asked, "Girl, why are you washing your neck with realgar wine?"
Hearing him ask this, Zhang Meng angrily pointed at the little white snake on her neck that looked like it was dead and said, "It's this guy. It just ate a bunch of raw meat with a black magic not long ago. As a result, it wrapped itself around my neck without even washing its mouth. I wanted to get it off and give it a bath, but I couldn't pull it off. I thought, since it's a snake, it should be afraid of realgar, so I tried my grandma's realgar wine, but it didn't work."
He also wasted the jar of realgar wine made by her grandmother, which made her very angry.
Monk Jingchen held the wine in his arms and said, "Girl, your snake is not an ordinary snake. Realgar wine will not work on it at all."
Zhang Meng smiled bitterly and said, "Master Jingchen, even if you don't tell me, I know that this realgar wine is useless against this snake."
It's a pity to waste that jar of wine.
Grandma Zhang found out about the realgar wine incident that day, and Zhang Meng, the culprit, was naturally severely punished.
The matter of longevity came to fruition after three days.
That night, the couple was getting ready to go to bed when suddenly a thick smoke drifted in from the window, and then Changsheng, dressed in an ancient official uniform, appeared in the room.
"Xiao Meng." Perhaps because he had become an official, Zhang Meng discovered that the Changsheng he met this time seemed different.
"Changsheng, you have become an official now!" Zhang Meng didn't even sleep, he got up from the bed and ran to the window.
Changsheng touched his head sheepishly and nodded slightly, "Yes, I am the soul-collecting messenger here. From now on, I can stay in the world of the living more often."
"Really? Congratulations! By the way, your family has been worried sick about you these past few days. You should go meet them later."
Changsheng nodded, "I know, I'll go see them later."
"Oh, by the way, this is what the Bull-Headed Yin Envoy asked me to bring up for you. He said it's good for your eyes."
Zhang Meng glanced at what he was holding, and the corner of her mouth twitched. "Does the Bull-Headed Yin Envoy have a grudge against me? Why did he ask you to bring me a bottle of yellow sand?"
Changsheng grinned, "I don't know either. I asked the Bull-Headed Yin Envoy about this question at the time, but he told me to just follow his instructions and not to ask so many questions. He also told me to always carry this bottle with me so that my eyes won't have any problems again."
Zhang Meng's face darkened as she took the bottle of yellow sand from his hand. She knew that no one except Gu Mingtai knew about it, and now a bull-headed Yin envoy actually knew about it, which made her feel a little confused.
"I understand. If you see him next time, please thank him for me." Zhang Meng took over.
After finishing the tasks asked by others, Changsheng quickly left the Zhang family.
Gu Mingtai, who had been lying in bed, got out of bed, walked over to her and took a look at the bottle she was staring at. "This is Huangquan Sand, it should be the sand from Huangquan Road."
Zhang Meng heard the voice behind him and immediately turned around to look at him, "Gu Mingtai, you know this sand! Then do you know why the Bull-Headed Yin Envoy wanted Changsheng to give me this bottle?"
Gu Mingtai shook his head awkwardly. "I only know that this sand is Huangquan Sand. As for why Niutou gave you this bottle, I have no idea what he meant."
Zhang Meng sighed, "My eyes seem to be getting worse lately. I keep seeing red things. Gu Mingtai, do you think I will eventually become blind?"
Gu Mingtai stared at her eyes without saying a word, and suddenly remembered that he once saw his wife suck an evil spirit into her eyes.
That horrible scene kept appearing in his dreams for many nights afterwards.
Ever since he saw that scene, he has been secretly investigating what was going on. Unfortunately, there are very few books on this subject, and he has no way to find out.
