Chapter 168 Birthday
"Is he offering sacrifices to Ai Xinyu?" Gu Yaopan frowned slightly, and there was a sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.
"He is so noble!" Tao Mengchu shook his head disapprovingly, covered the documents and threw them on the table.
"I'm afraid yes." Rong Wengui sat opposite the two and nodded, but his eyes swept away without a trace at the distance where Tao Mengchu and Gu Yaopan were sitting very close.
After a while, there seemed to be some tacit understanding between Gu Yaopan and Tao Mengchu that he didn't understand, which made Rong Wengui feel a little uncomfortable, although he himself didn't know where these discomforts came from. Just because he had dreamed of her? Isn't it too nonsense?
"How is that painting?" Gu Yaopan looked at Rong Wengui and seemed a little distracted. He thought he had thought of something. He thought of the painting in his hand and asked.
Rong Wengui was sobbed by Gu Yaopan that he came to his senses, but when he heard her question, he just shook his head.
"There is not much change. However, in the energy sensing room of the institute, a thin energy can be sensed to inject into the painting every time, but the painting does not change much."
Seeing that Gu Yaopan seemed to not quite understand what the energy sensing room was, Rong Wengui explained to her again.
Because the various spiritual powers, demon powers, yin energy, etc. that practitioners rely on are too complicated, the institute simply calls them energy in order to study these things. The energy sensing room is a special room used to study the generation and operation characteristics of this energy. No matter which kind of energy, it can be collected in this room and then its trajectory is observed.
"Can we measure where the energy is generated?" Gu Yaopan asked afterwards.
Rong Wengui shook his head and said, "The energy sensing equipment is limited, so you can't sense it anymore after leaving the sensing room, but the researchers said that judging from the attenuation of that energy, the distance should not be too far, and it should be within the capital."
After saying this, Rong Wengui was helpless. It was simple to say it within the capital, but the capital was so big that only two or three kittens in their special office would be investigated until the year of the monkey and horse month? What's more, this energy does not persist, and it is even more difficult to check if it is intermittent.
For a moment, the three of them fell silent. Tao Mengchu thought for a while and said, "Chapter Rong! Do you think this is OK?"
Seeing Rong Wengui turn his face to look at him, Tao Mengchu continued:
"Didn't we contact the City God before? Their people can send far more people than ours. Why don't we give a note to them as before and let them keep an eye on us, maybe we can gain something."
Rong Wengui patted his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Why did I forget that there is still this road? No matter what, let me tell you first. I'll let Sun Fu do it now. Not to mention that the last time when the small county town happened, it is said that the city god on the northwest end had a big drop. This time we will give the city god on the capital. I believe they can also pay attention to it."
Seeing that Rong Wengui had something to explain, Gu Yaopan and Tao Mengchu took the opportunity to leave. After going to the institute to see the picture of giving birth, which had not changed much, the two drove around the street.
Tomorrow is Xiaoni's birthday. Gu Yaopan plans to order her a beautiful cake. Although she doesn't know why she must eat the cake, delicious food is the best reason.
Behind the two of them didn't notice, the little baby in the institute who was originally grinning happily and suddenly showed a strange sarcasm on his little face.
July 14th
This day is not a good day for ordinary people who pay attention to it. Although it is an important day for worshiping ancestors, most people will be cautious in their words and actions on this day.
The date of Gu Yaoni's birth was this day. At that time, Gu Yaopan was not very close to this body, so her memory was not particularly clear. But she still remembered the thick yin energy around Gu Zhai when she was born.
If it weren't for the time when she, the ghost general, sat at the back door, Gu Yaoni would have been unable to come to this world smoothly. Gu Yaopan even remembered that their mother looked at the clock when she heard Xiaoni's first crying.
It was a look of helplessness and despair, but their father was different. The man who had been smiling happily hugged Xiaoni, and the eyes of her were full of doting. This also made Xiaoni's closeness with her father far more than her mother for a long time.
There was a ping-pong sound from the kitchen on the second floor of Wenguzhai. When Gu Yaopan stepped into the door with the cake and Tao Mengchu, he was hearing the sound of Li Shu and Xiaoni talking.
This woman in red also chose to stay in Wenguzhai on this day and never went anywhere.
"Why is Shanshan not here?" Gu Yaopan put the cake on the table and leaned into the kitchen and asked.
"She went to Brother Seventeen and said she wanted to go shopping with him and buy me a gift." Xiao Ni said without looking back while fighting the dishes on the chopping board, with a smile on her face.
She knew since she was a child that she was born at a bad time, but her sister never cared about it. She celebrated her birthday every year, and she never forgot the year when her parents left. She felt very happy.
Li Shu helped Xiaoni handle the vegetables in the bag one after another, and looked at her gradually growing back, thinking.
Shanshan finally stepped into the door of Wenguzhai with Hu Shiqi before dark, in the slanting sunset. After the two sisters of the Gu family solemnly lit up the incense, they put the paper money written on Gu's parents in the shop on the first floor and burned it. Then they turned off the lights and went to the second floor.
Eighteen years old is Xiaoni's coming-of-age ceremony. In addition to the two sisters, Gu Yaopan invited Hu Shiqi and Tao Mengchu, one of whom she had been with for so many years, and the other of whom thanked him for his previous care. Moreover, Tao Mengchu has been living here all these days, and it is unreasonable not to invite him.
As for Hu Shanshan, this weird little girl is a rare friend Xiaoni has made in so many years, so of course she has to be present.
Turn off the lamp, and a flower-like candle was inserted on the cake with a rich and sweet buttery smell. The cake had pink cream, and a big 18-year-old girl wrote about her face, which was so happy that she was red. She closed her eyes, made a sincere wish, and blew out the flower-like red candle in one breath.
"Dangdangdangdang!" As Hu Shanshan laughed, the lights in the dining room were bright, and everyone started to share the cake on the table with a smile on their faces. The largest piece was handed over to Gu Yaopan by Xiao Ni. No matter whether she could finish eating or not, she had to take over Xiao Ni's intention.
Tao Mengchu and Hu Shiqi watched the three girls making trouble indulge in their silence, not caring about their bodies at all. The cream on their faces was covered with the rich dinner made by Xiao Ni in his mouth.
This night was so simple and beautiful, and it seemed that everything about the Zhongyuan Festival was isolated from this small room.
Chapter completed!
