Siheyuan: I stand for Xu Damao because he is my brother

When he moved back to the countryside to retire, he might have had the intention of staying away from these beasts.

Now they actually came in front of him to make trouble for the brothers Damao and Dacan, grandma!

When Xu Fugui and Xu Taoshi arrived, they showed the people in the courtyard what a high-end game was.

There are two young men in the Xu family.

Come on, who can beat Xu Dacan? When it comes to playing dirty tricks and using tricks, who can beat Xu Damao?

The two brothers, one a scholar and the other a warrior, are a perfect match. In times of chaos, they would be able to dominate the world.

So do Xu Fugui and his wife need to give these people face? Even the way they look at them is condescending and full of sympathy!

"..."

Nowadays, when relatives come to visit, they just stay at home and no one stays in a hotel.

Of course, even if I wanted to stay there, I couldn’t without a letter of introduction.

Xu Tao and her daughter-in-law lived in the inner room, Xu Fugui lived in Xu Dacan's room, so the two brothers had to live in boxes for the time being.

Xu Dacan had asked before: "Why didn't the two sisters come together? I was thinking about having some fun and having a good time in the city as a family."

Xu Fugui waved his hand: "They are both long-haired and short-sighted. What are they doing here? There is still a long way to go. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Today, the whole family dressed up nicely.

Needless to say, Xu Dacan and Damao each wore new clothes, an officer's woolen coat, and a pair of new leather shoes.

Even the old couple Xu Fugui changed their clothes so as not to be looked down upon by Doctor Liu.

Finally, let’s talk about Lou Xiaoe. She has a good image and temperament, and with her careful dressing, one can tell at first glance that she is a person of status and position. She exudes a sense of nobility.

In addition, Lou Xiao'e also specially prepared a piece of jewelry, a tortoise shell bracelet.

Even so, it took Xu Dacan’s repeated persuasion.

Do you know what she took out first? It's called a pearl and phoenix hairpin!

Looks like this

My goodness, his sister-in-law really doesn’t take good things seriously!

Except for this tortoise shell bracelet, the others did not go as they had agreed upon.

The two fat chickens remained the same. In the past two days, Xu Fugui asked Xu Damao to buy four bottles of Erguotou, two bottles of Hongshuangxi, two boxes of high-quality tea, and a basket of red eggs. He even added two more snacks to the bag of candy...

Xu Fugui explained: "This is called the Six Rites. Although it is very different from before liberation, the meaning is still the same. It not only shows our sincerity, but also hopes for a good start."

By the way, the basket of red eggs was dyed by Xu Tao and Lou Xiao'e, as well as Yu Li, Aunt Yi, Second Aunt, Aunt Qi, and Aunt Yang from the yard.

As for the two red double happiness cigarettes, they are hard to buy. The big red "囍" character on the cigarette box corresponds to a happy event, which has a very good meaning. Until 2023, some people use it as a wedding cigarette.

Xu Dacan asked Xu Jiang to help him get these two packs of cigarettes, and by the way, he also found out what medicinal herbs Xu Jiang wanted him to find.

What a coincidence, the person he was looking for was Huang Bai.

Xu Dacan looked puzzled: "Are you kidding me? You don't have Huangbai in Tongrentang?"

Xu Jiang didn't know what to say. He looked around like a thief, then whispered in Xu Dacan's ear, "Don't be impatient. There are two more characters after Huang Bai, Huang Bai's old face."

Xu Dacan almost blurted out a nice sentence!

Huangbai is the dried bark of the Huangpi tree; that’s the old face of Huangbai? It’s something from “Ghost Blows Out the Light”!

It is a kind of fungus that grows on wood in ancient tombs. It has a strange shape, and the crown of the mushroom looks like an old man's face, wrinkled, and at first glance it also has a nose and eyes!

According to legend, this plant only grows in extremely shady places and is a very rare burrowing fungus.

According to folk rumors, this thing is used to summon spirits, and you will have hallucinations if you get close to it.

Xu Jiang quickly calmed down Xu Dacan who was about to go berserk and said, "Don't react so strongly, brother. This thing really exists. It's recorded in the Burial Sutra."

Xu Dacan was so angry that he grabbed Xu Jiang by the collar and said, "What the hell, do you think I haven't heard of the legend?"

Xu Jiang finally managed to free himself from his hand, then carefully took out a small iron box from his jacket lining pocket and opened the lid: "Look, brother."

Xu Dacan looked at the contents of the box from a distance. It was a dry thing that looked like a dried morel with a cut at an angle from the top.

Xu Jiang said to him with a smile: "It has no medicinal properties. You won't get dizzy even if you take it directly."

Xu Dacan then mustered up the courage to pick it up and look at it carefully: "My goodness, is this really the thing you said? Is there really such a thing in the world?"

Xu Jiang nodded: "Brother really knows Huang Bai's face."

Xu Dacan put the things down and sighed: "I only heard about it when my grandfather told me stories when I was a child. I have never even seen what it looks like. I am afraid I can't help you this time."

Xu Jiang closed the box and pushed it in front of him. "We should try our best. The man is so important that I can't refuse him. I have to do my best."

Xu Dacan pointed at the box and asked, "What is this?"

"Please mail this thing back to your father and ask him to help find it."

Xu Dacan refused directly: "Are you okay? My dad is a driver, not a tomb robber!"

Xu Jiang was amused: "Haha, you also know how to rob tombs?"

Xu Dacan was so angry that he wanted to tell him the story of Nanpai Sanshu right now and scare him to death!

Xu Jiang stuffed the box into his hands without giving any explanation: "Why don't you understand? Once this thing is mailed out, it will have nothing to do with you and me."

Xu Dacan thought, okay, does he have anything to do with this?

Sure enough, the old ginseng, the fifty-year-old astragalus, and the door-opening...

Once he takes these things out, there will be no trace of them left.

Anyone who is interested can just follow Xu Jiang's lead and find him.

Xu Dacan was glad that he was careful enough and did everything right before every transaction.

Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous!

Xu Dacan remained calm: "Okay, I'll take care of this trouble for you. If you can't get the two red double happiness, hehe."

Xu Jiang was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped: "Liu Huangbai and I are good friends. It was me who arranged for you to marry Yueru. Believe it or not, I will let you..."

"I believe it, I believe it. I'll wait for your good news." Xu Dacan interrupted him quickly.

Xu Dacan came out of Tongrentang, found a deserted place, and threw the piece of species that looked like "Huangbai Old Face" into the space.

Seeing the small dry mushroom burrow into the soil with a "swoosh" sound, and then a growing pattern emerge, his heart was filled with anxiety.
