Chapter 35
Finally, Li Yang pulled up his shirt, revealing his back.
There were indeed a few scratches, so Zhou Du used a cotton swab to dip in the Wanhua Oil and smeared it bit by bit. His movements were a little light and a little slow, and the cotton trembled when it touched Li Yang's skin.
Li Yang arched his back to apply the medicine, and urged gently: "Hurry up."
Zhou Du looked at the skin on his back, which was blindingly white, and the protruding spine was like a silver snake bone chain, fragile and easily broken.
"Okay." Zhou Du left the sofa and threw away the cotton swab.
Li Yang had already put down his clothes and was tidying them up when he asked, "Where can I buy A4 paper? I want to cut out paper figures."
Zhou Du returned to the bedroom and took out a stack of yellow paper with runes written on it.
"Use this cutter."
Li Yang looked at him strangely, then picked up the scissors and started cutting without any hesitation.
Several small paper figures were blown up by one breath and stood up, shining with golden light.
They pounded their chests to show that they were strong.
Li Yang got a new way.
Yaoyao's room.
The three cubs sat on the floor at the end of the bed, looking up at their heads and watching Hong Kong dramas.
In order to take care of her two friends who don’t know many words, Yaoyao chose the Mandarin version.
But when faced with a mix of Chinese and English Hong Kong dramas, Li Dongqiang still has a lot that he doesn't understand, for example:
"What does cheap mean?"
Yaoyao thought for a moment and said, "Generally speaking, it means cheap."
Based on the context, Li Dongqiang concluded that cheap = cheap = bad.
It said, "Then I'm not cheap at all."
Yaoyao shook her head, "You are a winter melon, and winter melon is cheap."
As soon as this sentence came out, Li Dongqiang stepped on his tail, "How is it possible! I am the only winter melon in our garden! Do you know how rare it is? You are cheap! You are cheap!"
Yaoyao was stunned for a moment, then shook her head calmly, "I'm very expensive."
"I don't believe it."
Yaoyao's black pupils spun twice, and she said, "Then come with me to see our prices outside."
"Just look at it."
Yaoyao asked Zhixuan: "Do you want to go?"
Zhixuan rubbed his eyes and yawned, "I want to go back to sleep."
"Then you go back. Li Dongqiang and I will ask Teacher Ruan to take us out."
Zhixuan nodded, left the room and went back to the 12th floor. Li Dongqiang and Yaoyao came to Ruan Yiming's room next door.
"Sir Ruan, can you take me and Dongguazi to the market?"
Ruan Yiming was wearing glasses and writing a report. Hearing this, he adjusted his glasses and asked in Mandarin: "Why?"
Yaoyao also replied in Mandarin: "Li Dongqiang doesn't believe that he is cheap, and he still says that I am cheap. I want to take him to see our prices."
Ruan Yiming looked at the time on his watch and thought of the vegetable market nearby, so he said, "Well, since I have nothing to do in the afternoon anyway, I might as well take you two out for some fresh air."
When they arrived at the noisy vegetable market, Yaoyao and Li Dongqiang first asked the price of winter melon at the vegetable stall.
Yaoyao specifically asked the boss in Mandarin: "Uncle, how much is a pound of winter melon today?"
Li Dongqiang stared at the boss with bright eyes, wanting to hear a very expensive answer.
However, the boss replied in Mandarin: "4.58 yuan."
Li Dongqiang: “Huh?” It can make 8.3 yuan by selling water bottles, but winter melon only costs 4.58 yuan!
Li Dongqiang didn't believe it: "What about this? What about that?"
It pointed at a few winter melons behind the boss and asked.
The boss smiled and said, "Little friend, all winter melons are the same price."
Li Dongqiang held back his tears and made a shocking statement: "Boss! You can't be so conscienceless in doing business! You can sell it at a higher price!"
The boss was amused by it and didn't understand what it was doing, so he just cut a small piece of winter melon, put it in a bag and gave it to it.
Li Dongqiang took his fellow vegetables and angrily dragged Yaoyao to several vegetable stalls to ask for prices.
In the end, he accepted his worth of 4.5 yuan, with a fluctuation of no more than 40 cents...
Li Dongqiang accepted his fate.
Until Yaoyao casually pulled it into a herbal medicine store and saw ginseng slices costing 3,000 yuan per tael.
Li Dongqiang was defeated. When he returned to the hotel, he threw himself into Li Yang's arms and burst into tears, wailing: "I am so cheap!!..."
Li Yang: “…”

The Feng Shui survey competition at Tingfeng Mountain started on the third day. The children looked out the window excitedly while sitting on the double-decker bus. After driving for an hour and a half, they arrived.
The air on the mountain is fresh and cool, and the grass is green. After getting off the bus, everyone had the same feeling: it is perfect for a picnic.
At the beginning of the competition, each kindergarten was given a small colorful flag, and they had to put it in a place that they thought had good feng shui within half an hour.
Each child tried their best, and finally they all reached a consensus and put their hands together.
Eighteen colorful flags fluttered, and Ruan Yiming held up the little bee and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Sure--!"
"No regrets?"
Zizi shook his head and said no.
"Okay, congratulations to the 18 kindergartens for getting 25 points."
The cubs screamed like crazy.
Back on the bus, the teachers counted the number of people and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that everyone was there.
On the fourth day of their arrival in Hong Kong City, the kids bravely broke into the Tianning Building and tried to find out what was buried underground that caused the gathering of negative energy. Unfortunately, they couldn't dig it out on the spot, but Ruan Yiming gave each of their kindergartens 25 extra points.
Ruan Yiming told the teachers: "The boss who took over Tianning Building planned to rebuild the building from scratch and asked us, Zheng Yuan, to find out why the building was not popular. That's where the 150,000 yuan bonus came from."
The teachers suddenly realized: "No wonder."
After returning to the hotel, the dinner was over. They would not see each other again tomorrow. Ruan Yiming went on stage to present awards to the first-place kindergarten. Everyone held a big check and took a group photo.
"See you next year." A director raised his glass.
The teachers and students also raised their cups and said, "See you next year!"
The children were reluctant to leave their friends and ran to the hotel elevator several times just to give gifts to their friends and chat with them.
After a good sleep, it was time to say goodbye. Many of us wiped away tears when leaving the hotel.
…
After returning to Nanjiang City, the kindergarten was on holiday for two days. The kids went back to the Taoist temple. The teachers' schedules were messed up. Even Liang Tang didn't cook anymore. Everyone had to make their own plans for whatever they wanted to eat when they woke up.
Li Yang also lay in bed for a day and a half, and was woken up by a phone call for the other half of the day.
Wu Lai said anxiously on the phone: "Master! My little cousin seems to have been possessed by evil spirits!"
The old phone had serious sound leakage and the other party’s voice was too loud, so Li Yang moved the phone a little further away.
Wu Lai continued, "He was not right a week ago, but it's worse these past two days. He's like a different person. He insults his elders, throws things, throws away all the valuables in the house, and bullies his classmates..."
Wu Lai spoke in a lower and lower voice, swallowed, and added: "It was the kind of bullying that forced classmates to go to the rooftop and jump off the building." So he felt it was very serious.
"But the cousin I know would never do such a thing. He just doesn't like studying, but he has a very kind heart. He even saves the plastic bottles and cartons at home and gives them to the old lady downstairs."
"Master, can you come over and help me take a look?"
Li Yang calmed down and finally remembered who Wu Lai was.
One of the good guys who helped him catch 77 evil spirits in a sting operation.
He cleared his throat and said hoarsely, "Send me the address and I'll be there in an hour."
While changing clothes, Wu Lai sent his location. Glancing at the screen of his phone, he put on his collar, packed up the paper figurines and other tools, leaned over to pick up his phone and went out.
After going downstairs, Lu Xiaoguo and Li Dongqiang were tinkering with the juicer in the kitchen. Lu Xiaoguo looked up at Li Yang's outfit and was stunned: "Where are you and the leader going together again?" What she meant was: without us!
Li Yang asked back: "Zhou Du is out too?" Then he has no car to drive.
Lu Xiaoguo raised his chin and said, "Look, I just came out."
Li Dongqiang was sitting on a high stool in front of the bar. He jumped up and said, "I want to go too! I want to go too!"
Li Yang: "He and I are not together. You can't go."
Li Dongqiang was determined to jump down, but Lu Xiaoguo held him back and asked him, "Do you want to squeeze some juice with me or go out with Zhou Du?"
Li Dongqiang's round black eyes rolled around, and after weighing the pros and cons, he said, "Then I don't want to be with Xiao Zhou at all."
After dealing with Li Dongqiang, Li Yang hurried out, intending to get a ride.
When he saw Zhou Du, he had just opened the car door and hadn't gotten in yet.
"Are we going to the city?" Li Yang asked.
Zhou Du nodded.
"Can you take me to Hua'an Community?"
"Get in the car."
Li Yang sat in the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt.
The SUV started, and when Zhou Du turned the steering wheel, the phone automatically connected to the car's Bluetooth.
Zhou Du selected a playlist, and when he saw the car driving onto the main road, he threw his phone to Li Yang, "Find a song you like."
It was a half-hour drive, and it was not the first time they had traveled together. However, this time Li Yang also felt the need to put on some music to prevent the car from being too quiet.
It’s just that neither he nor Zhou Du listens to music much, and he doesn’t even have any music software.
Zhou Du does have one.
When you click on "Favorites", you will see that they are all chanting songs. In the "Guess You Like" of the music software's big data, there are naturally various scriptures, and the recommendations on the homepage are basically popular online songs.
Was it Liang Tang's voice not loud enough or Lu Xiaoguo's voice not loud enough? In any case, Li Yang didn't really want to listen.
He was still choosing songs when suddenly the car speakers started playing by themselves. It was a cell phone ringtone.
Caller ID: Aunt.
Li Yang held the phone and looked at Zhou Du, wanting to call him back, but Zhou Du took a look and pressed the answer button on the control panel.
An urgent middle-aged female voice sounded in the carriage, along with a noisy voice from her side.
——"Quick! Stop him! Don't let him go to the bathroom!"
——“I’m so hungry… so hungry… so hungry…”
——"Xiaobao, wake up!"
In this environment with noise, Aunt Zhou said: "Xiao Du, can you pay more attention? The matter of the Chen family's child is really urgent. The child is now crying that he wants to eat shit! You said that since you learned all this, the whole family has never troubled you for anything, and you are still making excuses for this matter——"
Aunt Zhou is an impatient person who is enthusiastic about other people's family affairs. For example, the Chen family is just a neighbor, but she will still be impatient and aggressive for the neighbors. It's not that she is angry at Zhou Du, but the situation is serious. She told Zhou Du about this last night, but Zhou Du has not come yet.
Zhou Du interrupted and replied: "I'm on my way and will be there in an hour."
After hearing Zhou Du's calm reply, Aunt Zhou's anxious mood was temporarily calmed down and she said, "Well, drive carefully, safety first, I can still control it." While speaking, Aunt Zhou glanced at the situation behind her.
The servants at home tried hard to stop Chen Xiaobao from going to the toilet, and Chen Xiaobao's mother cried and screamed and almost fainted.
After hanging up the phone, Li Yang put the phone on the dashboard and suggested: "Shall we listen to the radio?"
Zhou Du: "Good idea."
Li Yang operated the screen and turned on the radio station, which was reporting on the city's daily life. The male host's voice lingered in the car. His shoulders relaxed slightly, and he leaned lazily against the back of the chair and asked, "What's the problem with your aunt?"
"I don't know more than you do. You won't know until you get there." Zhou Du looked at the road conditions and asked casually, "How about you?"
"I have to go there to find out." Just listening to Wu Lai's statement, there was no clue at all.
"If you don't understand something or if things get tough, call me."
"Um."
The two of them were quiet until they got off the highway in the city and arrived at the entrance of Hua'an Community.
"Thank you." Li Yang got out of the car and turned around.
Zhou Du lowered the car window, leaned over and looked at him through the window, "I'll pick you up after this."
Li Yang nodded. The entrance to Hua'an Community was not big, and the car behind honked twice as it wanted to enter the community.
Li Yang waved to the man and watched the car turn around and drive away.
Dial Wu Lai's number.
"I'm at Hua'an Community."
