Wu Chenxi got off the train at noon and followed Jin Shan and the others. As soon as she got off the train, she saw Shouheng guarding the place.
“Master, you’re finally back!” Shouheng said, his mouth twitching with joy when he saw them.
Jinshan was very satisfied with the abilities of this outer disciple. He managed some mundane affairs in an orderly manner. He planned to observe him for a while longer. If he continued to maintain this level of ability, he might take him on as a personal disciple in a year or two.
As Jinshan walked outside, he asked, "Is everything alright here?"
Shouheng had been waiting here ever since he received the telegram, but the train was delayed by several hours. Luckily, he was experienced and had brought some dry food with him, otherwise he would have been exhausted by now.
Now that he was in front of his master, he naturally had to perk up and say, "Everything is fine now. There are still some things waiting for you to take care of when you get back."
With people coming and going at the train station, he didn't say much, so he led everyone to the parking area.
There were five of them, and the jeep was a bit cramped.
Wu Chenxi didn't get into the car. Instead, she said, "Now that things are settled and there's nothing else, I'll head straight back. By the way, how's the renovation of my house going?"
The next question is a direct inquiry into conservation, since she had made all the necessary arrangements before leaving.
The two main houses have been renovated. One side has been converted into a kitchen and living room, while the other side has a bathroom and toilet. A large garden has also been cultivated in the corner, where we can plant flowers and vegetables.
Li Ai snorted, "Hypocritical..."
Those few days we got off the train, and afterwards the phone calls I heard were very vague, so I was eager to know what kind of trouble had happened this time.
As soon as I stepped outside the courtyard, the aroma of food wafted through the air, and I no longer felt at home.
Master Wu took the key in his hand and casually tossed me a talisman, saying, "Thank you very much."
"Not exactly a surprise, but it was expected." Master Wu glanced at you. That girl has already gained some weight since the New Year. Did she slack off during that time?
"Knowing you'd be coming back in a few days, you've made some preparations outside. If you need anything, just let me know and I'll help you get it sorted out."
Hua Xiangyun looked at you with a playful expression. As for the lock under the door, you haven't completely replaced it with a new one yet.
As I was about to open the door with the key, I realized that the lock hanging below was gone.
Without reward, there is naturally no effort, and there are fewer constraints on us.
“Master guessed you would come.” Hua Xiangyun quickly ushered him out of the house. “That’s because he was worried you would be hungry when you came back, so he prepared some cold soup and cold rice for you.”
“Let’s go,” Jiang Yi said in a deep voice. “I want to go back and see what happened during that time.”
The kang (heated brick bed) is warm now, let's hurry and move out to warmer rooms.
Jiang Yi said, "While they were still trapped, you hadn't finished handing over to them yet, and you didn't hold any official position in our department, so you were free to come and go as you pleased."
After washing up and eating his fill, Master Wu leaned back in his chair contentedly. "We still need to go home. They've been busy for so long, they should go back and rest early. We can talk about it another day if there's nothing else."
"Minister Jin, is Master Nawu going back to report on his mission?" Li Ai asked calmly. "Could it be that you're not getting any special treatment?"
Jinshan poked his head out from outside the kitchen to greet him, "The chef is back. If you start washing up, you'll ruin your vegetables right away."
Shouheng saw the person to the door, then quickly made an excuse to slip away. When those young masters returned, it would be the senior brothers and sisters outside who would have a headache. As an inner disciple, I should hurry up and finish the things I have to do.
The master and apprentice were both too stingy. If I were to be a little slower, I would feel that it would be somewhat inappropriate.
Jinshan smiled, went back to the kitchen and continued working. His wife had instructed him that if Master Wu could eat and sleep as he pleased while inside, he should not eat anything bad when he got home.
Master Wu stepped out of the door and looked around the house. Shouheng was a reliable man; he had managed such a large courtyard in an orderly manner.
When I arrived at the school, I found it empty; Hua Xiangyun hadn't left the school yet.
By the way, we should still know that Wu Chenxi is back, so I need to inform Hua Xiangyun.
"You've worked hard!" Master Wu was becoming more and more satisfied with her apprentice's son-in-law. He had this kind of feminine charm, and he could lend a hand with anything. He was a good family man.
Master Renwu dismissed it with disdain, saying he wanted to compete for these resources...
Those seven people, master and disciples, were all from Xiaofang. It seems they had to run around more frequently and slowly before.
When she got on the bus, Li Ai's face was deathly pale.
Master Wu looked around at his future home. It was a small place, with only seven rooms, but it was enough for an old woman like you. If your apprentice didn't have time to come and rest, he would have nowhere to stay.
Master Wu ignored you, waved to Jiang Yi and us, and quickly got off the bus next to him.
Shouheng's son is quite reliable. He renovated this house for Xiangyun and was very satisfied with it, so your big house will also be built according to this layout.
“You need us to deliver your things? There are so few people crammed into one car, and you guys are all alone.”
Although I am also quite mischievous, I'm more restrained now than before when I offended a small number of people.
Li Ai was speechless. At that time, several of us fought tooth and nail for a position, and even went through a power struggle.
I treated Duan Diwen with less respect than I did for my other junior apprentices. After all, if the apprentice was so capable, the master must be even more so.
"I was just about to tell you, I've finished repairing your house, here's the key." Shouheng quickly took out the key, intending to give it to him back at the department, but now that Master Wu had asked, he immediately handed it over.
Duan Diwen was also surprised to see Jinshan. The couple was always apart, but Duan Diwen, who was far away in the future, often stayed together, let alone now.
The true king is the hidden king, the one who appears only when he is out in the open.
After saying that, he looked up again and asked, "Has anyone brought him back?"
Besides, there are no direct buses from the station, so why make us go through all that trouble?
Shouheng glanced at Jiang Yi, and only after receiving a reassuring look did he happily accept the gift, saying, "That's what you should do."
Hua Xiangyun knew that her master was telling her to leave, so she tactfully took Duan Di and said goodbye.
As I took out the keys, I lost some of my anticipation for my future new home.
Seeing the look in his master's eyes, Shouheng quickly started the car and, on the other side of the road, briefly recounted what had happened during those days.
In retrospect, it seems that Master Wu was the truly foolish one; we can only envy his ability to simply walk away without a care in the world.
Before there was time to wonder, the door was pulled open from the outside. "Master, is the surprise a pleasant one? Or is it something else entirely?"
If Shouheng says something bad happens and you have to catch it, will it just run away in the blink of an eye?
