Sumu wood in the quadrangle welcomes spring

Chapter 148 The Secret of the Ancient Head

With a thought, Su Mu came to his grandmother's courtyard from the cave space.

The long-lost feeling came.

Before he could think about it, Su Mu's body uncontrollably blurred and disappeared again.

When Su Mu calmed down, he sat in the same position where he disappeared before.

There was a crowd of people moving in front of me, and not far away someone caught the stone in his hand and threw it again.

It was as if no one noticed that someone suddenly disappeared next to them not long ago and then reappeared.

A thought coming from the irritable little loli came faintly.

Only then did Su Mu understand.

I felt completely relieved.

The iterative update of the golden finger has a special effect, that is, it can freeze a side of time and space for 1 second.

In other words, when Sumu was 'sucked' into the underground cave to explore, the system's iteratively upgraded passive skills were able to shield this space, perfectly avoiding the risk of 'self-exposure'.

However, everyone who leaves this area will have their life force disappear for 1 second.

Of course.

This is only a passive skill that Goldfinger will trigger when iteratively upgrades, and Su Mu cannot master it actively.

After a thought, any of Su Mu's questions could no longer arouse the feedback from the system's golden finger.

Maybe my system doesn't really want to be mute, but it has no choice.

Su Mu gradually realized.

I also want to ask, what functions have been added in the so-called iterative upgrade, which ones have not been discovered by me, and what has been upgraded.

Became mute again.

However, Su Mu was very lucky to have recovered the golden finger, so there was no need to force anything else.

I didn’t see that my legs and feet were completely healed.

Thanks to the secret underground palace of Prince Chun's Mansion, if it weren't for the existence of those antiques, jade and jewelry, and the system itself absorbing the 'nutrients' from the air, it would be unknown how long it would take for the system to recover.

A customer came forward, squatted in front of the sumu stall, and took out something that looked like a severed cuff.

Su Mu calmed down and stretched out his hand...

After making two more transactions, Su Mu stood up and stuffed the sack with only a few contents into another sack.

In fact, it is put into the space.

Now that the golden finger has reappeared, eating meat is no longer Su Mu's worry, and there is no need to squat here in pain.

The family's wealth is ridiculously rich, so the money spent today should be used as a blessing for Goldfinger to wake up.

He limped through the crowd and finally disappeared at the entrance of a small alley not far away.

Sumu's legs and feet were obviously weak when he arrived, so he couldn't just go back to normal after a visit to Xiaoshi.

People these days have very correct ideas.

If Su Mu is mistaken for pretending to have bad legs and feet, someone will definitely suspect that he has something to hide, and he will be reported to the neighborhood committee, causing trouble.

Su Mu is not afraid of trouble, but he doesn't want to become the target of public criticism for no reason.

The mouths of the aunts and uncles in the alleys can kill people these days.

The so-called public opinion makes gold worth destroying.

That's it.

It was a little after six o'clock when Su Mu returned to the courtyard.

He was holding a few fried dough sticks in his hand.

The breakfast we queued up to buy along the way was mainly for show.

When he arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, Su Mu was still planning to climb over the wall and go back from the east courtyard, when he heard the golden pillar gate creaking open.

It happened to be Yan Jiecheng's turn to open the door.

The first time he saw Su Mu, he snorted angrily.

Looking at the posture, I didn't expect to see Su Mu when I opened the door. After being surprised, I felt filled with panic.

It is said that the day's plan begins in the morning, but the first person I saw was Su Mu, not to mention Duo Geying.

Su Mu frowned slightly.

I don't know why I suddenly stopped recruiting Yan Jiecheng to see him.

Confused.

But he didn't bother to ask.

Sumu would not do anything like putting a hot face on a cold butt.

Since Yan Jiecheng expressed his rejection so clearly.

So what's the harm in being a bad neighbor who never interacts with each other until death?

Crossed the threshold and entered the courtyard.

When passing the hanging flower gate, Su Mu was still thinking.

When I see Da Kui again and ask, could it be that the relationship between him and Yan Jiecheng is so bad that he is implicated?
If not, I really can't imagine how I could be targeted by Yan Jiecheng like this.

Yan Jiecheng also instigated the whole hospital meeting last night.

Su Mu memorized everything for him.

Go back to the house.

Su Mu's mentality at this time was completely different from before.

My brain is also much more active.

He planned to take a short rest and go to Xijixiang Alley to visit Aunt Li.

The golden finger disappeared before, and his leg was injured. He had some concerns about his future life, so he wanted to solve the problem of excessive consumption first.

Now not only have my problems been solved, but I also have the ability to continue helping Aunt Li live a better life.

Doing whatever comes to mind is a habit developed by Su Mu through his years of experience as a soldier.

A portion of white rice was heated on the stove, and pickled cucumber strips and sesame seeds were placed on the table.

They are all already present in the space.

Youtiao soaked in rice soup with pickles, I had a simple but not simple breakfast.

Breakfast seemed simple, but Su Mu's mood was completely different from before.

Twilight and vitality are two completely different states.

After cleaning up, Su Mu went out again.

I happened to meet He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu who were also going out to work.

The two people walked out one behind the other, with only half a body apart. They were obviously working together as a gang.

Mrs. Liu Wang in the west door of the hall, the third aunt in the west wing, and the third uncle squatting in the corridor wiping bicycle wheels, there is nothing new.

It seemed that he was used to these two people's situation.

"Third uncle, third aunt, good morning."

Seeing them looking over, Su Mu first said hello.

"It's so early. Have you eaten?"

People in the capital like to use "Have you eaten yet" as a catchphrase when greeting each other? It has no other meaning, it's just pure politeness.

"After eating, let's go out."

Qin Huairu, who had just passed through the hanging flower gate, paused slightly when he heard Su Mu's voice. Perhaps thinking of the inconvenience of Qingtianbairi, he took another step and continued walking.

"It's better to wait until after work in the evening and come see him again."

Sumu limped on foot.

My mentality has changed, and I feel that it is inconvenient not to have transportation.

Light industrial products are now in short supply, and industrial coupons are required to buy such things.

"It seems that I will collect some more industrial coupons next time."

Bicycles, sewing machines, watches, antimony pots, iron pots, enamel basins, wool, mosquito nets...

Everything requires not only money, but also a certain amount of industrial coupons.

Most ordinary families only save a dozen industrial coupons a year.

Moreover, some families, even if they have enough industrial vouchers, do not have spare money to buy expensive daily industrial products, so they will sell them on the black market.

Such families account for the vast majority of people today.

Su Mu thought about future plans while walking.

The situation is changing rapidly. Now that Goldfinger is back, the previous planning considerations were too conservative and need to be readjusted.

After a while, Su Mu came to Xijixiang Hutong.Unknowingly, I had a lot more things in my hands.

When people in Beijing visit relatives during the New Year and festivals, they will definitely go to a pastry shop to build a box of snacks.

There are roughly just a few types: peach cake, Saqima, and Beijing Caozi cake.

Su Mu didn't deal with those vain people.

He was holding a handful of bacon in his left hand, the kind that is both fat and thin. He wrapped a thick lump in oil paper to avoid danger if others saw him.

It's not that Aunt Li is in danger, but that she is afraid that those individuals with evil intentions may catch Aunt Li's gun and endanger her life.

The right hand was also unambiguous, half of a wild boar's hind leg meat, with no obvious knife marks, as if it had been torn off with force, and attached to a large piece of lower loin meat.

These are all new year products to supplement Aunt Li’s nutrition.

It is also the food that warriors lack most.

Knock on the door.

There was a cry from the yard.

Su Mu heard the sound and it should be at the bamboo on the shadow wall.

Aunt Li can still have the energy to take care of the garden at home, so she should be in good condition.

And when I answered the call just now, she sounded very energetic, not like an 80-year-old lady at all.

Creak, the door opens.

"Oh, Xiao Sumu, when did you come back?"

Aunt Li was pleasantly surprised. The wrinkles on her face were all wrinkled. Anyone could tell at a glance that Aunt Li's smile was definitely from the bottom of her heart.

"I came back the night before yesterday. I cleaned up my house all day yesterday and came here today."

Su Mu said, and raised the boar leg in his hand.

Aunt Li smiled and narrowed her eyes: "Come in quickly, first into the room, first into the room."

Over the years, Chen Dakui has been sending meat to the old lady.

When the old lady asked for money, Chen Dakui refused.

But I also told the old lady that my cart and the work I do now in Xiaoshi were all paid by Su Mu, so the money I earned was half of Su Mu's.

Aunt Li only thought that Su Mu was lucky to have brought the wild boar leg, and she was not worried at all that Su Mu had no ability and was trying to make a fool of himself.

"I've lost weight and become stronger, my dear, have your kung fu improved?"

Aunt Li looked into Su Mu's eyes, her eyes flashed across his flat temples, and asked suddenly.

Introversion is the result of a very deep level of inner breath recuperation.

Without a certain level, it cannot be distinguished.

And Aunt Li only managed to achieve this with difficulty, relying on her energy to break and then stand up again.

Well, when Gutou was at his peak, it was probably at this level.

This is a comparison with Aunt Li, not Sumu.

"Well, I haven't slacked off in these years. Madam, do you still have a few volumes of the set of scriptures you gave me before?"

Aunt Li smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, don't worry, I will take you there in a while. Not only those few books, but many more."

The aunt pinched the tea leaves from the tea can and put them into the teapot.

The teapot is very clean, with no trace of tea stains on any corner or corner.

It can be seen from the details that Aunt Li is full of energy and has no physical pressure at all in her life.

Su Mu is a junior and treats Aunt Li as a mistress.

Even at her real age, Aunt Li is more than enough to be Su Mu's grandmother, but the master's wife is also a mother, so Su Mu's filial piety to Aunt Li is no different from his own mother.

Cao Cuixiang and Su Mu didn't recognize her as a mother at all.

The mistress was making tea, but Su Mu didn't dare to sit down, so he quickly took it and started pouring water and making tea.

"Auntie, you are in good health. You seem to be in good spirits. The yard at home is kept clean."

"It's okay. I have to say that it's all thanks to that little brother of yours, who comes twice a week, even when it's windy, rainy, or haily. It's really good, but it's a pity... ugh."

Aunt Li shook her head.

"It's too late, a good seedling wasted."

Su Mu understands.

This means that Chen Dakui delayed the best moment to practice martial arts.

Gutou had an eccentric temper and a stubborn personality. He accepted Sumu as his disciple without examining his character. The main reason was that Sumu could provide him with much-needed meat at that time.

Aunt Li, on the other hand, prefers to keep things short rather than wasteful.

Even if you bring all you have learned into the coffin, you will not teach the gangsters.

Maybe women are kind no matter how old they are.

I have always been considerate of others and do not want to cause trouble to the country or society because I am not strict in recruiting disciples.

"Everyone has their own fate, aunt, don't take it too seriously. Besides, it's too risky to teach a disciple. It's great that you can just stay down and enjoy the blessings."

Aunt Li moved her mouth and glanced at Su Mu, her expression a bit complicated.

But Su Mu was immersed in pouring tea and didn't notice.

Silly boy, Lao Gu did not die just because his disciples were in danger.

Forget it, the deceased is dead, so let’s not expose this cruel truth anymore.

It only adds to the worries of the living and does no good to anyone.

"Baby, come with me."

Aunt Li waved and asked Su Mu to follow her into the back room.

Su Mu stood up and followed.

Just listen to Aunt Li talking as she walks.

"Actually, it was me, Lao Gu and Xiujuan who lived here at first. I lived in the middle, Lao Gu's house was here, and Xiujuan's house was over there at the door..."

Later, Xiujuan left first, and the three courtyards were opened.

Aunt Li didn't say the reason.

But Su Mu didn't want to worry about the grudges of the previous generation.

But beyond words, it was Lao Gu who saved her and suggested opening up the courtyard.

And Gutou is also the one with the most solid kung fu among the three.

Aunt Li also kept the old house clean and tidy.

The items are also placed in an orderly manner.

It doesn't look like it has been uninhabited for several years.

The bed is in the northeast corner of the house, to the side where the dressing table was originally.

Aunt Li turned her head and glanced at Su Mu, then deliberately stepped back.

Only then did Su Mu see clearly that Aunt Li kicked the side of the steps twice with her toes.

Click.

Su Mu heard a sound like a piece of wood falling on a wooden board.

Aunt Li stretched out her hand and pushed it on the dressing table.

A flipped portal appears.

This turned out to be a clever mechanism arrangement.

Su Mu couldn't help but admire the ancient people's uncanny craftsmanship in arranging the organs.

Aunt Li picked up the flashlight on the table and took the lead in going in.

The steps are a bit steep, almost 60 degrees downward, but the sides are relatively narrow, which alleviates the downward pressure.

When you reach the bottom, you will see an altar table with a portrait on it.

Su Mu saw the remaining incense ash and thought that Aunt Li would come in from time to time.

"This is the instructor who selected us into the training group back then. He is considered our master, but, alas..."

Aunt Li sighed and shook her head.

Turn right and there are another five or six steps.

Su Mu followed him, unable to bear his curiosity and said nothing.

There are stone pillar guardrails on the steps, and the inside is not humid, but extremely dry.

I don’t know what materials were used.

Aunt Li skillfully lit a few wall-mounted candles, and the entire basement fell into Su Mu's eyes.
