Chapter 634 634. Hidden
In the mountains on the outskirts of the imperial capital.
The doorman who had just packed up and was about to change his guard looked at the time - there were still ten minutes left, just enough time to catch up on the update.
However, when I opened the APP, I found that the three books I was following in the bookshelf were not updated... Is it because the Internet connection is not good?
He was worried, subconsciously clicked in, and then discovered in despair: these three books have really not been updated!
——How could this be? ! !
Today is a day of no holiday and no activities. These authors didn’t even send out their leave requests, so they just did it so directly? Is this reasonable? This does not put their readers in the eyes at all!
Scrolling through the comment area again, there were indeed a lot of complaints and curses:
[Dog thief! The pigeons are pigeons, and they don’t ask for leave. 】
【@Besides, you have been working hard every day, why is there no movement today? 】
[I knew that once the copyright of Qingyun was sold, people would become less diligent]
How disgusting!
The sad reader scolded each of the three books, and then he felt heartbroken and changed his job.
The moment he exited the APP, three new chapters were released at the same time:
"Sorry, I was drunk yesterday"
...
And at this low-key gate, the guard stood there solemnly, but his soul had not yet buffered from this emotion, when he saw the familiar courier boy driving the car over again, and finally I moved a few couriers down neatly.
After the young guard checked them one by one, he couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart.
Nothing else, but there is an express delivery from Mr. Zhu, which was sent from Qingxi Town, Yuncheng.
Good guy!
He quickly looked around the community, and sure enough he saw Xiao Du's familiar face rushing towards him. He asked him from afar:
"Is there any express delivery from our old man? He was staring at it early in the morning. I saw the signature.”
It’s self-evident why.
Sure enough, when Xiao Du pulled the pile of express delivery over and saw the express box in Qingxi Town, Yuncheng, the other party held it in his arms and ran away without saying a word.
The doorman looked at his retreating figure, turned around and quickly dialed the phone one by one:
"Mr. Zhou, there is another express delivery from Qingxi Town today..."
...
Lao Zhu has now learned to be patient.
After all, bloody experience told him that he could not run fast as he got older. If someone stopped him halfway and fought him down, he would inevitably lose something in his arms.
It is better to count on Xiao Du and wait at home.
But he didn’t feel at ease waiting - because if those old guys got the news in advance and shamelessly stopped him halfway, Xiao Du wouldn’t dare to fight them!
At this moment, he was pacing back and forth in the yard, feeling embarrassed in every possible way.
Fortunately, not long after, Xiao Du ran in panting, then stood up straight solemnly, and placed the express box in Lao Zhu's excited palm.
The next moment, the old man and the young man looked at each other and quickly entered the house -
"Bang!" Close the door and lock it, all in one go.
Lao Zhu skillfully opened the box and saw twenty brine packets wrapped inside, as well as a mineral water bottle wrapped in the middle.
Although the outer packaging was simple, he didn't dislike it at all. He only saw the transparent liquid inside, shook it slightly, and thought of a possibility, and his heart suddenly trembled with excitement!
Could it be...
He unscrewed the lid without saying a word.
In an instant, a strong aroma hit his nostrils, irritating the alcohol bug in his stomach that he had endured for a long time. It made every cell in his body say:
[Take a sip first. 】
There was no one else in the room. Lao Zhu faced Xiao Du’s staring eyes and said with a guilty conscience:
“I’ll just take a small sip, don’t tell the doctor, What can they know?"
Afterwards, without waiting for a reply, Xiao Du quickly took his small wine cup from the cabinet and carefully poured half a cup into it. How can an old drunkard resist the mellow aroma of that wine?
Holding the wine glass at this moment, he suppressed his eagerness and took a careful sip.
“Good wine!”
After one sip, my heart and liver seemed to tremble, that cold and mellow stimulation...
With a “sniff”, the old man May your eyes be bright!
He hurriedly put down the wine cup in his hand, then tightened the mineral water bottle and started spinning it around the room:
"Xiao Du! Hurry up, find a place where no one can find it and hide it."
Xiao Du paused, then picked up the wine bottle and entered the back room.
He came out not long after, which made Lao Zhu stunned and alert: "Where are you hiding? Are you not planning to give me a drink in the future?"
Xiao Du smiled: "Old man, the doctor said, you really can't drink it. Your family has given you many warnings..."
"I don't believe it!" Lao Zhu said loudly: "I will. I didn’t hear that from the doctor!”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard familiar noises coming from outside the yard.
He trembled in his heart, thinking about his precious tobacco. Without saying a word, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then quickly ordered:
"Hurry, wash up. Keep it clean and I’ll open the door.”
These old guys can’t stop you like Niubi Tang, so why don’t he open the door as soon as possible to show that he just collects some marinade packets casually, and doesn’t feel guilty.
Alas, my granddaughter is still considerate. She sent twenty packets of these braised ingredients. She was clearly trying to make a fool of herself. He was afraid that others would steal his wine, so he shared this with everyone to divert attention...
What a granddaughter!
He was thinking so hard and kept moving his hands. When he opened the door, it turned out to be the same group of robbers again.
The leader, Mr. Zhou, smiled kindly: "Old Zhu, you have been brothers for so many years, you don't want me to say it out, right?"
Lao Zhu snorted, very similar to that reply Thing: "There are some things that make you run faster than a rabbit - what, my granddaughter is filial? Can't I be a solitary eater?"
As he said this, he was getting angry. The express box was brought over, revealing twenty packets of marinated ingredients simply wrapped inside.
"For braised tea eggs, let's share two for each person. This pot can be used to cook many meals in the refrigerator."
Everyone looked at him with a subtle look, and then silently put the bag of braised ingredients in In your own pocket.
When there were only two packets of marinade left in the box, although Lao Zhu was heartbroken, he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the next moment, he saw Lao Zhou in front of him smiling like a fox:
"Old Zhu, next time you lie to others, rinse your mouth first. Your mouth will smell like alcohol. Soaring to the sky!”
"And the smell of wine in this room, I can't even pretend to be stupid - where is Xiao Du? Xiao Du, tell me where he hid the wine!"
Lao Zhu's eyesight went dark.
My granddaughter only sent one bottle this time. With their drinking capacity, how many sips of wine is enough for them?
Therefore, Lao Zhu would rather die than give in and resolutely defend his secret, so that everyone entangled for a long time and finally dispersed unhappily.
As soon as they left, Lao Zhu patted Xiao Du hard on the shoulder:
"Good job! I guess they are not honest. Someone here is pestering me, and there must be someone over there who wants to be a robber..."
"Okay, okay, people are gone, hurry up and give me the wine I'll take it off, I have to put it in a better bottle."
However, after he finished speaking, Xiao Du didn't move in front of him. Lao Zhu looked over suspiciously, and saw an apology on the young man's simple face:
"Old man, the doctor really told me not to drink it. So I really hid it... Why don't you find it yourself?"
Lao Zhu:...
Good night.
