I am your natural enemy

Chapter 139 Gift Giving, Filter (5k)

There was a lot of commotion outside. As the speed of spiritual energy recovery accelerated, more and more various things began to recover, especially some things that were only in legends, which made Wen Yan feel more and more pressured.

He has now set a goal for himself to practice martial arts for at least eight hours a day, no less.

He started later than others. If he had less time to practice martial arts, he might not be able to keep up with others or the progress of the times.

Even though he knows that practicing martial arts may not be able to handle everything, at least if he has enough strength, he can handle it most of the time.

After all, when one's own strength reaches a certain level, it becomes a rule in itself.

If practicing martial arts was useless, there wouldn’t be so many people practicing martial arts.

To practice martial arts to the top requires talent, but if the goal is only the middle level, then you really don't need great talent, you just need perseverance, diligence, guidance, and krypton gold.

In addition to talent, the remaining blessings are not certain at least.

Wen Yan is willing to spend money, and he is ruthless. Coupled with the blessing of the burning sun, the progress is rapid. It is estimated that one year can catch up with the progress of others in the previous ten years.

It is estimated that it will take more than two years to catch up with Qin Kun's progress.

Wen Yan originally thought that the progress was very fast, but what happened in the past two months made him feel that he seemed a little optimistic.

In the past few decades, the recovery of spiritual energy has progressed very slowly, and there has been no qualitative change for decades.

At that time, at least among humans, there was basically no such thing as inhuman power.

Ten years ago, progress suddenly accelerated.

Guys like Qin Kun, who have reached an inhuman level in martial arts training, began to appear.

Master Maoshan mastered Lightning Running and Thunder Fist.

The time when the old Heavenly Master became famous was almost ten years ago when he waved his hand to summon thunder from the sky.

I heard from the uncle of the third master that he started to have special spirituality when he developed flying swords. It was around that time.

Moreover, before that time, the big zombies in Mount Fuyu also fell into a long sleep in the zombie cave.

At that time, even the water gods in the water system could be accidentally fished out by fishermen and taken home to be stewed.

At that time, there was no world boss coming. In other words, there might be one at that time, but I don’t know.

And this year, he felt that it was time to start the next decade.

This progress is obviously accelerating faster than in the previous ten years.

If I don't work harder, I may not be able to keep up with the progress of spiritual energy recovery.

Wen Yan was not the only one who was practicing martial arts hard. After nightfall, Pei Tugou, who had been busy all day, fell into a deep sleep, and Pei Tugou came out and quietly trained himself. Everyone was making progress.

Many people have also noticed that with the recovery of spiritual energy, the upper limit is getting higher and higher, and it is easier to break through than before.

At the bottom of the Xijiang River, after nightfall, there are a large number of swimming fish and aquatic creatures, and they continue to dig out the Guilong King Temple buried at the bottom of the river.

King Gui Long has basically given up now. Knowing that it is unlikely to rebuild the Dragon King Temple on the shore, he cannot wait any longer.

We can only dig out the former Dragon King Temple, which more or less has a place where it was built and a golden body that appears in the present world.

The excavation of Stone Mountain has also completely stopped. Originally, I wanted to dig the collapsed passage leading to the Kingdom of Shadows. Now that I found out that this place is related to the Tiger, I naturally became cautious.

Cai Qidong also personally contacted people in the north and asked other colleagues to help check records about tigers.

There must be a reason for this stone mountain to appear in Nanwu County. First, find out what happened hundreds of years ago.

Calculating the time, that period happened to be the days when the old Zhu family was in charge of the world. If you can't find the information, you can only ask Ah Piao from that era.

On the bright side, many of the Apiaos who might have known about relevant matters at that time had indeed awakened.

But on the bad side, none of these Ah Piao are from Nanwu County.

After all, Nanwu County has nominally been out of the capital, but in fact, everyone knows about it, and Nanwu County itself rarely mentions it.

Otherwise, when talking about it, when Guanzhong County opens his mouth, he will be Brother Zheng, and when Nanwu County opens his mouth, he will be the South Vietnam Kingdom. How embarrassing.

Especially now, when people who have died may appear in the form of Ah Piao, when I think about it, oh, I remember, my little brother’s little brother once beat you, and I can’t even remember it if you don’t mention it. who is it.

Cai Qidong can only pinch his nose now and look for help, but there may not be any results in the end.

He had offended quite a few people before, and he couldn't go to the headquarters for everything. After thinking about it, compared to being ridiculed by his old rivals, he still felt that being made into a ghost by Wen Yan was more satisfying. Acceptable.

So, he called Wen Yan again.

"Xiao Wen..." Cai Qidong's tone was warm and kind.

Wen Yan immediately took the phone further away, goosebumps all over his body.

"Minister, what arrangements do you have here? If you have anything to do, just tell me directly."

"That's right, there's something going on. You may need to go to Guanzhong County to help find out."

When Cai Qidong explained the matter, Wen Yan was a little puzzled.

"How can I directly ask the Lieyang Department of Guanzhong County?"

"Ahem, the relationship between the Lieyang Department of Nanwu County and the Lieyang Department of Guanzhong County is not very good. You should know this, right?"

Wen Yan thought for a moment and seemed to have heard of it. In addition, he saw it in the warehouse last time. The Lieyang Department of Nanwu County even put up a bright lantern to write down the origin and mock the Lieyang Department of Guanzhong County.

It seems that the relationship between the two Lieyang Departments is indeed not very harmonious.

"Then what? This is official business, right? In this kind of matter, even if the relationship is not very harmonious, it shouldn't be a petty matter, right?"

"I haven't finished talking yet. I have a normal relationship with the new head of the Lieyang Department of Guanzhong County."

"Usually, we would just send an official document, cooperate with the investigation of the information, and look for the former Ah Piao. It's not a big problem. Anyway, it's the people below who do the work, and it's not the minister who does it himself."

"I once broke five of his ribs."

"..."

Wen Yan was a little shocked.

"Minister, how many people have you offended? How can you still be promoted to your current position when you have offended so many people?"

"In the past few decades, my neck was somewhat stiff and my waist was not good enough to bend down. In addition, I couldn't help but curse others, so I offended a little more people.

Besides, I think it might be better to ask Prince Zhu about this matter.

But that man had a bad temper, and we didn't have much contact with each other.

I'm afraid that if I can't even talk a few words, I'll offend someone.

Why don't you go and ask. "

"Are you anxious about this?"

"It's not that I'm too anxious, I just have to be prepared. According to our estimates, people of that level won't be too anxious to jump to the front desk.

Just like the Dragon God, his biggest goal is just to recover.

As long as everything goes well, everyone can accept it.

The Lieyang tribe also hopes to live in peace and harmony. "

"Okay, I'll go to celebrate Prince Zhu's birthday next month. I'll ask for advice in person then. It's not appropriate to just make a phone call and ask someone for advice.

After all, according to the minister, this matter is probably directly related to Lao Zhu's family.

It's a bit inappropriate for me to ask people about their family affairs, and it's even more inappropriate to ask on the phone.

Prince Zhu is not the profiteer like Lao Meng. "

Cai Qidong thought about it, and it was right. He thought about it.

"Let's do this. I'll give you something. If you think it's suitable, take it as a birthday gift. If it's not suitable, you can do whatever you want."

After the chat, Wen Yan hung up the phone and marveled.

He thought in his heart that Cai Heizi would actually take the initiative to give gifts. It seems that he must have a very bad relationship with the new minister of the Lieyang Department of Guanzhong County.

To say that he once broke five ribs is probably putting it lightly.

In addition, the relationship between the Lieyang Department of Guanzhong County and the Lieyang Department of Nanwu County is not very good.

Maybe when he goes to Guanzhong County, he will be affected by these things.

If it weren't for the rocky mountain that was not too far from his home, and Wen Yan was also worried that the Dragon God in Xijiang would get involved with the tiger who hadn't appeared yet, he really wouldn't want to take over Minister Cai's job.

Moreover, it seems that there was a passage leading to the Kingdom of Shadows in that stone mountain, which is also related to the Kingdom of Shadows.

It doesn't matter if you don't pay attention to it.

In the next two days, it was rare to have a peaceful life. Wen Yan was at home. When he had nothing to do, he went to tease his silly son. He saw that his silly son had obviously gained weight, and the flesh on his arms seemed to be covered with fat. small swimming circle.His spiritual platform was temporarily sealed. One day later, the silly son forgot about the toys he had fun playing with yesterday and started playing happily with the newly bought toys.

It's okay, let's go see Xiao Wu again. Xiao Wu is very happy all day long. Even the little zombies like to play with Xiao Wu.

These little guys, including the silly son, all like to watch Xiao Wu draw, and I don’t know if they can understand what Xiao Wu is drawing.

After checking, it seems that Xiao Wu's soul has indeed recovered a little better than before. I don't know what he has experienced during this period, and what paintings with soul he has drawn.

But it seems that it must have been consumed to repair the soul.

Wu Tingsheng has been content recently. He is too lazy to care about anything and just stays at home with his son. His life is becoming more and more comfortable. Even his wife is willing to come to Decheng to live on weekdays. On weekends, he goes shopping in Yuzhou to make friends and go to a beauty salon. .

At the weekend, I received a call saying that the furniture he had ordered before was ready. He asked if he wanted to take a look first and make changes if there were any problems.

It just so happened that he also had to go to Yuzhou to see his uncle from the Seventh Master. His old man had almost finished selecting people, and some details of the discussions with the Lieyang Department of Nanwu County had almost been discussed. Now he had to take people back.

By the way, I have to go to Minister Cai's place and get the plucked iron rooster from Minister Cai as a gift.

Because Minister Cai said that this gift is not suitable for shipping logistics.

Things sent using the Lieyang Department's logistics system must be registered. The thing in his hand has a somewhat shady origin.

Wen Yan took the high-speed train to Yuzhou and first looked at the furniture. They were all made according to a 1000-year-old aesthetic. The workmanship was extremely exquisite, and they were low-key and luxurious.

This is for Aunt Gan, so naturally it can’t be too shabby.

Wen Yan took a look at it. Apart from the fact that the labor cost was not low and it was indeed dignified and majestic, the other things could be seen at most. The details were very good and the master was very careful when working.

After paying the money and giving them a shipping address, Wen Yan left.

After calling the Lieyang Department and asking for an address, Wen Yan rushed to another orphanage. This was the last stop for the uncle of the Seventh Master.

When we arrived at the place, we found that this orphanage was not big, located on the edge of the city, and the children adopted were actually quite old. It seemed that at least half of them were over ten years old.

In fact, not many children of this age are adopted, because they are almost reaching puberty, and some have already reached puberty.

You may not be able to adapt to a new environment. Furthermore, when you reach puberty, you will become sensitive, which may make both parties uncomfortable.

When Wen Yan came, he saw the seventh master's uncle touching the bones himself and finally selected two well-behaved little girls.

The dean of this family is a gentle-spoken but also very stern patriarch.

Wen Yan didn't bother his seventh master uncle. He just followed the volunteers who came here to help on weekends to help with some things.

Go to the kitchen and help make a meal, which can be regarded as improving the food on the weekend.

Wen Yan was cutting meat here, and a young man peeling potatoes next to him suddenly muttered something in a low voice.

"Although Aunt Zou is strict with the children, she is actually a very nice person.

There are too many temptations now, and it is too easy to access a lot of information.

There was a 14-year-old child who was deceived and could not go to school. He was abducted.

There has been no news yet, and Aunt Zou has been feeling guilty for a long time.

She is stricter with these children now because she is afraid that they will go astray. "

Wen Yan was slightly startled and looked at the young man next to him. He had curly hair and big glasses. He looked a bit like an artist.

She spoke in a weak tone, but she still spoke for Aunt Zou.

Wen Yan smiled and shook his head.

“I think it’s pretty good, especially at this age, where one’s character is undecided and one may be sensitive inside, so one needs to be taught well.

Even if some children don't understand it now, they will understand it when they grow up a few years.

There is no need to expect that every child must be particularly sensible from an early age.

Being sensible too early may not be a good thing.

As long as you don't do anything outrageous, just be aware of it. "

Hearing Wen Yan's words, the young man breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought you thought Aunt Zou was too strict..."

"Believe me, I think Aunt Zou is a very gentle person, not harsh at all."

Compared with the guidance of Qin Kun and others in Fuyu Mountain, that aunt is indeed very gentle.

The time to endure hardship is still to come, but we are here now.

“How many volunteers are there?”

"On weekends, people come to help every week. On weekdays, there are really not many people. Aunt Zou actually doesn't like too many people coming, but some people are really considerate and give a lot of things every time."

Wen Yan listened to the underlying meaning of the words.

"Do you come every week?"

"Absolutely. I graduated with a major in social welfare management. Earlier, Aunt Zou helped me with the internship chapter. Later, I came to help when I was free."

"Do you work nearby now?"

"No, I didn't pass the public exam this year, so I'm just hanging around in my home company."

Wen Yan smiled.

"I just wanted to say if you are interested in going to Binhai County. My parents have just adopted some children. We really need to recruit some people. It would be better if they can speak the local language, so that at least those children will not be unable to adapt.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a rich man, so I guess you won’t want to go. "

"I'm married and my son is almost one year old."

"Ah, you look like you just graduated."

"It's been three or four years since I graduated. I failed to start a business, failed to take the civil service exam, and finally I have a son, so I can only hang out in my family's company."

The other party smiled a little embarrassedly.

Wen Yan followed and smiled.

"To be honest, I also wanted to be like you, so I finally got admitted to the funeral parlor. After I got the establishment, I just lived my life. Fortunately, our director was very good, so I didn't say anything while I was fooling around."

"what……"

"what happened?"

"It doesn't look like it."

"What are you thinking about? There are too many employees in funeral homes, and not everyone deals with clients or clients' families. I basically don't use it. Don't tell anyone. Otherwise, I'm afraid they will find out. I'll give it to them. I’m cooking, and I’m murmuring in my heart.”

"No, no, no..."

After finishing processing the ingredients, Wen Yan began to marinate the meat, and then waved a large spatula more than one meter long. The muscles on his arms began to bulge. After finishing a meal, it was comparable to an hour of pounding iron.

No wonder the uncle in the kitchen here is big and round, and he looks very fierce at first sight. If he doesn’t have a lot of strength, he might not be able to finish the meal.

And when he said he would take over just now, the uncle happily agreed and didn't mind at all being robbed of the spatula.

Wen Yan was also eating here with a group of children, but he was very busy and happy.

When he was a teenager, if he could have eaten this meal with meat, shrimp, and orange juice, he would have been as happy as these children. It was just that he could eat something delicious.

Recalling that when he was a teenager, in Guanzhong County, he went to help with work for the first time in the middle of the night. Afterwards, his boss prepared a banquet in the hotel. It was the first time that he ate fresh prawns. The extremely unpromising Lian I ate several without even peeling the shrimp shells.

At that time, I didn’t know why, but I really liked eating shrimps, especially there was a store that sold shrimp buns. They were very expensive and the taste was average. He thought they were delicious and the filter was very serious.

Later, when I arrived in Nanwu County, I realized that the fresh river shrimps were actually quite cheap.

"Is it enough? If it's not enough, come back after eating."

Wen Yan happily prepared meals and vegetables for the children. After finishing the cooking, he secretly tasted one and felt inexplicably that the dishes fried in the big pot seemed to be more fragrant and he felt more satisfied in his heart.

Wen Yan packed himself a meal and sat with a group of children. The food tasted even better than those children, as if he had never eaten anything good before.

A little girl next to him hesitated for a moment and gave Wen Yan the prawns on her plate.

Seeing Wen Yan, the little girl immediately whispered timidly.

"I can't finish it. Mother Zou said we can't waste food."

"Okay, then I'll eat."

Wen Yan smiled, picked up the prawns, and ate them in one bite without peeling the shells. It tasted like this, with a filter-enhanced taste, which was particularly good.
