The next day, Dai Xuan went to Xishan Villa to take a look. The villa was decorated in a western style. It was empty and there was nothing inside. Dai Xuan was too lazy to decorate it now. The courtyard house was quite comfortable.
He went to buy some New Year's goods and some firecrackers. It would be New Year's in three days. It was already noon when he returned home. He brought the things he had bought into the living room. Yang Liu was busy cooking. Dai Xuan placed the roasted duck on the dining table in the living room.
"I didn't know roast duck was so delicious!”Yang Liu sighed as she ate.
"Haven't you eaten roast duck before?"
"In the past, it was already good enough to have meat to eat in my hometown. I've never heard of roast duck. When are we going back after the New Year? Do you want to go to my hometown to take a look?"
"I'm fine with anything. I'll do it anytime.”Dai Xuan said indifferently.
Zhao Jun came in the afternoon. Dai Xuan was a very mysterious and powerful person in Zhao Jun's mind. He wondered how Dai Xuan had transported so much wine in the previous batch. However, he couldn't be bothered to care so much. As long as there was money to be made, it was fine. Everyone had their own ways.
"That batch of wine bottles will only be ready in March.”Zhao Jun said to Dai Xuan.
Dai Xuan nodded and poured a cup of tea for Zhao Jun, then said,"" What are your plans after the new year?"
Zhao Jun said," I've thought of going to the south to take a look after the New Year. There's a special zone there for large-scale development. I reckon there will be many big opportunities."”。
Dai Xuan thought for a moment and said," There should be quite a lot of opportunities. If there's any business that you don't have enough money, I can also participate."”。Dai Xuan had read the news about the establishment of the special zone in the newspaper and heard people talking about it at the dinner table, so he knew a little about it.
Zhao Jun nodded." That's great. I'll tell you if I find a good way." Also, my dad asked me to invite you and Noodles to celebrate the Spring Festival at home. If there's nothing else, just go over. It's more lively with more people.”
On New Year's Eve, Dai Xuan and Yang Liu spent the New Year at Zhao Jun's house. Including Old Zhao's family of four, there were a total of six people. They had a lively and peaceful Spring Festival. Dai Xuan and Yang Liu even received red packets from Auntie Li.
On the second day, at six o'clock in the morning on the first day of the new year, Dai Xuan woke up. He wore a green robe and worshiped heaven and earth and the gods of various places in the courtyard. Yang Liu also followed him to worship.
Dai Xuan gave Yang Liu a bulging red packet and said,"Here's a red packet for you. I wish you success in your studies and happiness every day!”。
Yang Liu was stunned. You're not my elder."
"How am I not your elder?" Dai Xuan asked. I'm your master now. Take it!”Yang Liu had no choice but to accept it. She secretly counted it herself and found that there was 1000 yuan, which shocked her.
On the third day of the new year, they took the train back. They wanted to go to Yang County in Hubei Province first, Yang Liu's hometown.
There were not many passengers on the train, so it seemed a little empty. The two of them sat on a hard seat all the way to Hubei Province. After getting off the train, they changed buses twice and arrived at the town where Yang Liu's family was located.
The town was called Qinghe Town. It was named after the Xiaoqing River. The population of the town was not large, about three to four thousand people. The town looked very old, and the streets were muddy roads. The roads were frozen hard by the cold weather.
Yang Liu lived in the eastern corner of the town. It was a small courtyard with three bungalows and a kitchen surrounded by a wall. Yang Liu led Dai Xuan into the courtyard and into the living room in the middle. After putting down her luggage and other things, she called Dai Xuan to sit down.
It was almost five in the afternoon. Seeing that there was no one in the house, Yang Liu ran out of the door to look for her. Her mother was busy cooking in the kitchen. "Mom, I'm back. Where's Dad and the others?" Yang Liu called out.”,Yang Liu's mother said in surprise and joy,"Ah, why are you back? Your dad went out to play cards, and your brother went somewhere crazy. You came back just in time. I was just about to cook.”。
"I'll cook for two more people. I have a classmate who came with me."”
Yang Liu's mother didn't care too much. She said,"Then I'll boil water to kill a chicken.”。
Dai Xuan walked out of the house and stretched in the courtyard. The ground was covered with firecrackers. Dai Xuan saw a 40-year-old woman walking out of the kitchen door. He nodded at the woman and said, Happy New Year!"
Yang Liu's mother was dumbfounded. Was it the classmate who came back with her daughter? Wasn't she a female classmate? His brain could not react for a moment. Yang Liu came out and introduced Dai Xuan to Ye Ma."Mom, this is my classmate Dai Xuan."
When Yang Liu's mother heard this, she warmly invited Dai Xuan into the house.
When it was past five o'clock, Yang Liu's father and brother returned. She introduced Dai Xuan again.
Yang Liu's father was a handsome old man in his early forties. His name was Yang Han, and he was an employee of the town's grain management office. Her younger brother was called Yang Xiaojun, a student from the town's middle school.
At six o'clock, it was time for dinner. There was a big plate of chicken and a plate of hot and sour cabbage.
Yang Han took a bottle of white wine and said," This is a local wine brewed in the countryside. It tastes good. Let's drink two glasses."”,As he spoke, he poured a large glass of white wine for Dai Xuan. It was about three taels.
"Come, Young Dai, welcome to our house. Let's drink to this.”Yang Han raised his wine glass and said.
"Come, Little Dai, thank you for sending Yang Liu back. Let's have another drink.”After a while, Yang Han raised his glass again.
"Come, Young Dai, let's drink this cup. You're a good person. You drink quickly and don't play tricks.”Yang Han drank a third cup with Dai Xuan, as if he wanted to show Dai Xuan his might.
After drinking three glasses, the two of them each drank almost a pound of wine.
"Come, Old Yang wishes you a happy new year! Let me toast you." Dai Xuan raised his wine glass. If you asked him to call you Uncle Yang, he really couldn't. He could only call you Old Yang.
"Yes, Young Dai, let's drink slowly. It's not good for the body to drink too quickly.”Yang Han was a little drunk.
"Come, Old Yang, let's drink this sixth cup.。”After eating for more than half an hour, Dai Xuan picked up his sixth glass of wine. Yang Liu kicked him under the table.
"Aiya, Young Dai, you drink first. I'll rest for a while. This wine is drunk too quickly.”Yang Han said vaguely. He had already drunk until his face was red, so Dai Xuan had no choice but to drink it himself.
After Yang Han finished the sixth cup, Yang Liu stopped giving him any more. Dai Xuan drank three more cups by himself.
At night, Dai Xuan and Yang Liu's younger brother, Yang Xiaojun, slept in the same room.
The next morning, Dai Xuan woke up at six o'clock. He went for a walk around the town. When he came back, Yang Han had also woken up. He looked at Dai Xuan and said with a bitter smile,""Does your family inherit the ability to drink? You drank so much and you're actually fine. You're really formidable!”。
Dai Xuan smiled and said,"Your alcohol tolerance is also very good."”。
During breakfast, Yang Liu asked Yang Han,""Dad, where are we going to pay New Year's greetings today?”"It's already the sixth day of the Lunar New Year today," said Yang Han. Your second grandma is sick, and your second grandpa hired a witch to dance for her today. I'll go over later to see if there's anything I can help with.”
Yang Liu said," You're doing these feudal superstitions again. If you're sick, you have to go to the hospital to see her. Why don't you go with us later and see if my second grandmother's illness can be cured?"”。
Dai Xuan nodded and said," Go ahead. I have nothing to do anyway. I want to see what's going on with the great god dance."”。
After breakfast, Yang Han, his daughter, and Dai Xuan walked three kilometers on the mountain road and arrived at Second Grandmother's house. The courtyard of Second Grandmother's house was already surrounded by many people who were watching the show. The Great God Dance Ceremony was in progress.
Second Grandmother was lying on a bamboo chair, her face haggard and her eyes closed. She looked seriously ill. There was a brazier in front of her feet, and some paper was burning in the brazier. A woman in her fifties was wearing a gray cotton coat. She held a bell in her hand and shook it as she spun. The bell made a crisp "ding ding" sound. The witch was mumbling something, but no one could understand what she was saying. Dai Xuan seemed to have heard it say, There was another sum of money today, another sum of money today. It was just that her words were a little vague and had a local accent, so she was not sure if she had said those words.
The witch danced like a Mongolian before wrestling. After dancing for a few minutes, she calmed down and put the bell on the table. Then she picked up the dried rushes on the table and lit them on the candle. Then she burned Second Grandma's right ear with the rushes. Second Grandma opened her eyes because of the heat. She seemed to be much more energetic.
Dai Xuan shook his head as he watched. Was the level of skill required to become a god in China so low? He walked into the crowd and stretched out his right hand to grab Second Grandmother. He saw Second Grandmother lying on the bamboo chair, struggling and trembling. The surrounding people who were watching the show stretched their necks to watch. The witch also thought that she had performed exceptionally today. Suddenly, everyone heard the sharp cry of a beast. The sound pierced through people's eardrums. With a bang, all the people who were watching the show were scared away. The witch ran the fastest and did not even take the bell on the offering table.
Dai Xuan looked at the shadow of the broken tail fox's soul that was rolling on the ground. It was a beast soul that was equivalent to the late stage of Qi cultivation. Under the current spiritual energy conditions on Earth, it was unknown how lucky it was to be able to cultivate to this extent. It was just that it should not have come out to harm people. Dai Xuan was not interested in its fate. He directly clenched his right hand into a fist, and the miserable scream suddenly stopped. The beast soul body dissipated.
"Give this bottle of medicine to your second grandmother. Take one pill a day.”Dai Xuan handed Yang Liu a medicine bottle.
Both father and daughter were stunned. Second Grandpa was also stunned.
At this moment, the witch came back again. She looked like she was panting and said,"That monster ran fast just now. Fortunately, I caught and killed it. Second Grandpa, I'm exhausted today.”。
Dai Xuan rolled his eyes. What a genius! I won't submit to anyone but you.
At noon, the three of them, along with Second Grandpa, ate the chicken on the offering table. Dai Xuan even accompanied Second Grandpa to drink some wine.
