Embers Ad Infinitum

On the 417th floor, Long Yuehong led Shang Jianyao and met her grandmother Zhong Zining in the activity center.

At this time, Zhong Zining was dancing to the music with a group of neighbors, old and young.

Shang Jianyao saw that his eyes were bright, so he took off his jacket and joined it.

To his dismay, the music stopped at this point.

Zhong Zining wiped the sweat from his forehead with the towel draped over his shoulder, and heard the voice of his eldest grandson calling him.

In the process of welcoming the old lady, Shang Jianyao said to Long Yuehong with regret and envy:

"The activities on your grandma's floor are well organized.

"The director of the activity center here is too serious and responsible!"

I don't like this kind of singing and dancing... While muttering inwardly, Long Yuehong casually replied to Shang Jianyao:

"If you think it's good and you get married in the future, you can apply for a room on this floor. With your rank, your personal intentions will definitely be taken into account."

What he didn't say was that, compared to rank, Shang Jianyao paid more attention to his level in the Awakened Domain. .

As soon as the voice fell, Long Yuehong made a soft "uh".

He was thinking that, considering the severity of Yao's mental illness, it would not be a happy thing for any girl to be assigned to him, unless both parties have feelings for each other, are compassionate and compassionate, and help the suffering and the needy, can they tolerate and accept it.

"Is this the colleague you mentioned?" Zhong Zining said to Long Yuehong after seeing the two of them coming, glanced at Shang Jianyao.

Before waiting for Long Yuehong to respond, Shang Jianyao nodded obediently:

"Hello grandma!"

"Yes." Long Yuehong quickly added.

"Mmmm." Zhong Zining nodded lightly, looked at Shang Jianyao for a while, and asked Long Yuehong while recalling, "Is he your classmate? I remember seeing him at your house. He came to you many times to play."

"Yes, yes, we have been allocated a place." Long Yuehong explained briefly.

Zhong Zining smiled and asked Shang Jianyao enthusiastically:

"When did you get married?"

"I don't have a partner yet." Shang Jianyao answered truthfully, Long Yuehong wanted to stop it was too late.

This doesn't fit the plan!

Zhong Zining was stunned:

"You have no object to ask for a multi-child and multi-grandchild talisman?"

Shang Jianyao explained solemnly:

"It's normal to ask for a marriage talisman."

Seeing Zhong Zining nodding in agreement, he continued:

"But after asking for a marriage talisman, having a partner, and getting married, don't you have to ask for more children and more grandchildren?

"And if I directly ask for more children and more grandchildren, I can't give birth to the child alone, I must give me a partner.

"So, ask for more children and more grandchildren to kill two birds with one stone!"

Zhong Zining was dizzy and felt that what the other party said made some sense.

"Yes." She pointed to the activity center, "I'll go back and change clothes first, and then I'll take you to Mu's house to ask for a talisman."

Shang Jianyao asked sincerely:

"Grandma, can I wait for you here?"

Long Yuehong's grandparents live in area C, and they still have to go through the activity center to go to Mu's house in area B.

"You child, are you still embarrassed? Let me tell you, such a character is not good for people." Zhong Zining smiled, "It's alright, just wait here."

She immediately said to Long Yuehong:

"Say hello to your friend."

After watching her grandma leave the activity center, Long Yuehong frowned, suppressed her voice, and said to Shang Jianyao:

"Did you use your powers on my grandma?"

Otherwise, how could it be so easy to accept a single young man asking for more children and more grandchildren?

"No." Shang Jianyao looked innocent, "Your grandma is very talkative."

Long Yuehong was about to reply "indeed" when Shang Jianyao added:

"Just like you."

"..." Long Yuehong was suddenly speechless.

After dozens of seconds, the music sounded again, Shang Jianyao took off his jacket, held it in his hand, and walked into the dancing crowd.

He felt like a duck in water for a while, as if he was coming home.

"So you didn't go to my grandma's house to wait because you wanted to take the opportunity to dance..." Long Yuehong suddenly realized.

When Zhong Zining came back after changing his clothes, Shang Jianyao walked out of the "dance floor" and put on his coat.

"It's very rhythmic." Zhong Zining praised, "Usually few young people dance with us."

"That's because they have no vision and don't know how to appreciate it." Shang Jianyao said sternly.

This made Zhong Zining very happy, so that Long Yuehong had a sense of crisis that his eldest grandson's status might not be guaranteed.

So, he tried his best to get the topic off the ground.

Talking and laughing, a group of three entered the B area and arrived at the room No. 49.

Not only was the door closed, but even the windows were covered with curtains.

And by this point, the doors of most of the surrounding rooms were open, and people gathered in the streets to chat and kill time.

Bang Bang Bang, Zhong Zining patted the door of No. 49.

"Xiao Mu! Are you at home?" she shouted as she patted.

After ten seconds, the door creaked open.

The light inside was dim, only one desk lamp was turned on, the space was not spacious, it was only a little bigger than Shang Jianyao's hut, and it could barely accommodate a family of three.

At this time, there was only one person in the house, a woman in her thirties wearing old black clothes.

Her hair is messy, her skin is slightly pale, and the rest is fine. She belongs to a person who has undergone genetic modification and the effect is above the standard.

"You waste too much energy! Why don't you use the street lights on the street?" Before Zhong Zining explained his intention, Shang Jianyao persuaded with a sad face.

The woman was stunned:

"The talisman has to be in such an environment."

"Oh oh oh." Shang Jianyao showed his respect for professionals.

Zhong Zining glanced at this guy, smiled and said:

"Xiao Mu, this is my eldest grandson's colleague, and he wants to ask for more children and more grandchildren.

"Ah...what about your husband and children?"

"I went to the child's grandfather's house. I had a few talismans to get. I was in a hurry, so I didn't go." The woman surnamed Mu explained casually.

She turned to Shang Jianyao and asked:

"Are you in a hurry?

"If you're in a hurry, I can't arrange it on time."

Contribution points have to be added... Long Yuehong, who has been reading old world entertainment materials, added a sentence in her heart almost like a conditioned reflex.

"No hurry, no hurry." Shang Jianyao responded with a smile, "Aunt Mu, you can paint whenever you are free."

"Auntie..." The woman surnamed Mu repeated this title, her expression was not very good.

Hey, come out with a high EQ at this time! Long Yuehong resisted the urge to scratch her head.

He always felt that Shang Jianyao's emotional intelligence was Schrödinger's.

Zhong Zining laughed and helped introduce:

"This is Xiao Mu, Mu Qingqing, she is a few years older than you."

Shang Jianyao said "oh oh" twice and smiled at Mu Qingqing:

"look:

"We are all people born after the company's genetic modification technology has matured;

"You are a few years older than me;

"so……"

Mu Qingqing followed with a smile and said:

"You can just call me Sister Mu. I have always regretted not having a younger brother and sister."

"..." Long Yuehong was stunned.

It was only then that he discovered that Shang Jianyao's lack of emotional intelligence was in order to elicit the "reasoning clown" or "thought guidance" without a trace.

So insidious! So insidious! Long Yuehong can only express her feelings in a slanderous way.

After becoming sister and brother with Shang Jianyao, Mu Qingqing became more enthusiastic:

"Then wait, I'll draw it for you now."

Zhong Zining, who was on the sidelines, comforted:

"I'll just say it, Xiao Mu is very good."

Long Yuehong took the opportunity to say to Zhong Zining:

"Grandma, the matter is settled, I won't bother you here, we'll wait, go back to the activity center and dance."

He was afraid that the follow-up "conversation" would be too terrifying, scare his grandma, or let her be passively involved in danger.

Zhong Zining also really thought about the friends in the activity center. He was rude and told Long Yuehong a few words before turning around and walking out of the room.

Shang Jianyao smiled at Mu Qingqing:

"Sister Mu, is your ability to draw talismans handed down from your ancestors?"

"Yes, my great-grandfather is a Taoist priest, and it has been passed down in such a line." Mu Qingqing folded her messy hair.

Shang Jianyao turned to ask with bright eyes:

"Are these talismans really useful?"

Mu Qingqing hesitated, then hesitantly said:

"Faith is Spirit."

"Really?" Shang Jianyao asked.

Mu Qingqing felt that he should not deceive this younger brother, so he hesitated for a while and said:

"It was possible before, but it's hard to say now."

"Why?" Long Yuehong interjected in surprise.

Mu Qingqing scratched her hair and said embarrassedly:

"When my dad taught me to draw talismans, I wasn't very interested, and I didn't study very seriously. After I found out that I could earn a lot of extra contribution points, I couldn't remember what the real pattern looked like. I could only use my impressions. , redesign, and then try to rely on the mysterious direction of the process..."

Long Yuehong's expression was dull, and the corner of her mouth moved slightly.

It's okay to doodle...

Shang Jian Yao rubbed his chin:

"Sister Mu, why don't you learn from your uncle again and have to design it yourself?"

That's right... Long Yuehong came back to her senses~www.readwn.com~ Mu Qingqing sighed deeply:

"Your uncle passed away five years ago."

"Hey... condolences." Shang Jianyao was very sincere.

He asked again casually:

"Five years ago, my uncle should have been young, why did he die?"

Judging from Mu Qingqing's age, five years ago, her father was in his fifties at most, and with the current conditions of "Pangu Creatures", it is not a small probability for the old employees to live to the age of sixty or seventy, just like Long Yue Red his grandfather and grandmother the same.

Mu Qingqing's face was sad:

"It could be life.

"Sudden myocardial infarction, no rescue."

Myocardial infarction... Long Yuehong's pupils suddenly dilated.
