Mo's grocery store

"Let's go, let's go up and talk." Mo Junhao lowered his face and thought for a while, stretched his finger down the stairs, then patted Tang Kueh on the shoulder and said, "Close the door, we will open it after this guest leaves."

"Oh, good." Tang Kueh wouldn't refute Mo Junhao's decision, but he was a little nervous. Is it really okay to let people go to your home like this?

After closing the door, Tang Kueh found something unusual when he went upstairs. There are two doors on the left and right at the entrance of the stairs. This is different from the original building design. Originally, there was indeed one door on the second floor. After entering, there were two brothers. On the door on the right is a sign with the cartoon head of Lao Chai lying on a round sign, which reads: Mo's Candy House.This name was thought up by Mo Junhao when he was a child. It represents the bedroom of the two of them, and it is also a place where he can feel at ease.

There is no sign on the door next to the second, but Tang Kueh stretched out his hand and pushed it open. It really is a living room, and the decoration here is very commercial. There is a red half-arc sofa and a round table, which match the couch. I got a set, and on the opposite side of the half-arc are two red sofa stools, the ones with backrests and handles. There is a coat rack on the right hand side of the door, on which are the hats and coats that the man took off just now.

Directly opposite to where the guests are sitting is a cooking counter, but it is different from the one at home, it is in the form of a bar counter, but there are no bar stools, and Mo Junhao is standing inside, serving tea.There is still a lot of space between the two areas. According to Tang Kueh's guess, this is probably also a guest room.

"Aww, it's so hot!"

Tang Kui glanced at Mo Junhao, who was burning his hands and feet, and yelled at Mo Junhao, and consciously went around to the bar to take over the work, "I'll go clubbing."

"Oh, it's just in time." Mo Junhao held his burned index finger aggrievedly, left the things for Tang Kueh and left the bar consciously.

After a while, Tang Kueh came with a tea tray with 3 teacups on it.Putting it on the table in front of everyone, Tang Kueh also sat down on the seat next to Mo Junhao. The man picked up the cup and took a sip, then nodded politely, "Thank you for the hospitality."

"Then, can we now talk about the curse you mentioned, or the curse you have suffered?" Mo Junhao took a sip of tea, and when he put down his cup, he calmly asked with inquiry.

"I didn't expect you to see it at a glance." The man was stunned for a while, holding the cup in his hand trembling a little, but he stabilized soon, sighed, put down the cup, and introduced himself, "I'm sorry but still I didn't introduce myself, I am Lu Guoluo, to put it bluntly, my ancestors have been Tufuzi for generations."

"Tufuzi?" Mo Junhao had never heard of this word, and looked at the "well-informed" Tang Kueh.

After receiving Mo Junhao's "help" signal, Tang Kueh whispered in his ear, "Tomb robber."

"Oh," Mo Junhao reacted and nodded, thinking about it, he probably moved something that shouldn't be done, and made himself like this, "You don't shy away, tell me, what did you move Things, make yourself like this?"

"It's the legendary tomb of the Valley God." Lu Guoluo didn't pause, and finished speaking in one breath.

"Bone God?" This time it was Tang Kueh's turn to mutter something, and a series of information searched in his mind did not find anything useful.

But on the contrary, Mo Junhao's eyes widened in shock, "Gu Shen?"

"Yes, it seems that you know Gushen?" The visitor was a little more relieved for the shocked Mo Junhao, maybe he was not doing useless work.

"I don't think Mr. Lu is an outsider, or someone who has a relationship with the industry." With a gloomy face, Mo Junhao's face changed drastically, and he scolded angrily: "You should know who the God of Valley is, don't you?" ?”

"Yes, I know." Lu Guoluo seemed to be relieved, not because of anything else, but because he found a lot of people to help lift the curse, but no one knew Gushen, and there were many pretending to be ghosts, but the one who scolded was It was the first time, but after thinking about it, this was the help I was looking for from my family, and I had a well-known monk to give me advice, so I must have found the right one this time.

"Knowing that you still dare to go!" Mo Junhao trembled with anger from this answer, and his mind suddenly turned. It was introduced by his mother, who was the one who contributed to the flames?Uncle or Uncle Jiulang?Is it Uncle Jiulang? Uncle Jiulang mostly works as a middleman and information dealer, who can persuade mother to let him take the job... only uncle, why didn't uncle take this job, but passed it on to us?Is it because this is our specialty?No, regardless of the specificity, as long as it is about Gushen, any Taoist will have this kind of anger.

"Junhao, calm down." It was the first time Tang Kui saw Mo Junhao furious. Normally, this person looked very docile, but still a bit bloody.

"Calm down? How can you be calm!" Although Mo Junhao was persuaded by Tang Kueh, if the problem could be solved with just one persuasion, this person would not be Mo Junhao.Mo Junhao patted the table excitedly as he spoke, and even stood up and pointed to the door and said, "You guys know you have to touch it, and you dare to come to me after you touch it, why do you think I'm still going after you know it's the valley god's curse?" Will help you? Sorry, I can't help you with your curse, so let's go."

"Mr. Mo, you know Gushen, so I believe you must have a solution. Although I am called a Tufuzi, I was approved by the government and went with an archaeological team. It doesn't matter what I am a Tufuzi, but this time I was called a Tufuzi." It is not only me who cursed, but also other archaeologists. Their lives are more valuable than mine, and they are all the talents of the country. Please..." Lu Guoluo looked at Mo Junhao who was about to drive him away , Hastily showed his hole cards.

"Junhao, no matter what, it was recommended by my mother, and I should take it as a way to save my mother." Seeing Lu Guoluo nodded and bowed humbly, he said a lot. Although Tang Kueh didn't like people who rely on making money, one of them belonged to his mother. Another reason is archaeologists, I also hope that Mo Junhao will be more cautious.

"Huh..." Mo Junhao breathed a sigh of relief and clenched his fists. Tang Kueh's persuasion was understood in his heart, but it was just a feeling of powerlessness and coldness in the world that came from the bottom of his heart. Junhao has a strong feeling of resistance, let's go on, this is the first commission for himself and Tang Kueh, but if you don't accept it, it's the nature of him, the heir of Taoism!

Finally, after a lot of tangled struggle in his head, he glanced at Tang Kueh's worried look, sighed, turned his head to look at Lu Guoluo who had three big holes on his face, hesitated for a moment and said, "I need to think about it. "

"Mr. Mo, this is my contact information. I'm waiting for your message." Lu Guoluo was relieved to hear that Mo Junhao didn't refuse, and took out his business card and handed it to Tang Kueh next to him.

Tang Kueh stared at the position on the business card for a moment, researcher at the research institute?

Just as he was about to pass it to Mo Junhao, he heard the sound of the door opening and closing. It seemed that Mo Junhao left first.With the mentality of treating each other with courtesy, Tang Kueh sent Lu Guoluo away before returning upstairs. At this time, he found that the only door on the second floor was restored. When he opened the door and entered, he saw Mo Junhao holding Lao Chai's ball I'm fiddling, but I'm absent-mindedly thinking about something.

Walked over and sat down, reached out and took the ball that Mo Junhao had been playing with for a long time, "Who is the bone god that makes you so angry?"

"I'm not angry, but I'm chilled, and my mood is complicated." Mo Junhao turned his head and leaned on Tang Kueh's lap, throwing a pillow on it, intending to suffocate himself to death.

"Can you sit a little bit when we talk?" Tang Kueh just complained casually to Mo Junhao, who grew up with a pillow on his own knees, and then let him do whatever he liked, but it's not a good thing to suffocate yourself What a good habit, reach out and grab his pillow, "You have aroused my curiosity."

"Ah, do you mean Valley God?" Mo Junhao remembered that Tang Kueh was not from the world, and he was not very clear about the inheritance of Taoism. He looked up at the yellow ceiling lantern, and stretched out his hand to cover the dazzling Light source looked at the back of his hand and said, "The offspring of Yanhuang, the offspring of Yanhuang, refers to the fact that we are descendants of Emperor Yan and Huangdi, and Emperor Yan is our God of Valley, and there is a saying that we are also called Shennong."

"Oh, this Gushen?" Tang Kueh nodded as if suddenly enlightened.

Inadvertently seeing Tang Kueh's silly look, Mo Junhao laughed "puchi", "Could it be that you thought it was the bones of ribs or the shares of stocks?"

"Well, bones of the bones, no wonder the researcher thinks you are the savior because you understand."

"Researcher?" Mo Junhao felt that although he had some hearing problems, he could not be unable to understand what Tang Kueh said so recently.

"Well, that's what's written on the business card." Tang Kuo said and put the business card in front of Mo Junhao's eyes, "Nong, look."

"Are you really a staff member?" Mo Junhao looked at the business card and sat up straight on Tang Kueh's knee pillow. He reached out and took the business card and looked at it for a while, and then flipped through it several times to confirm. .

"Still unwilling to accept other people's entrustment?" Tang Kueh couldn't be Mo Junhao's master, but he still felt the need to ask a question when Mo Junhao was obviously a little loose.

Mo Junhao thought for a moment and muttered, "I'm still hesitant."

"What are you hesitating about?"

"Let's put it this way, Gushen is Shennong, right? What is Shennong most famous for?"

"A taste of herbs?"

"Ding dong, the answer is correct, but there is no reward." Mo Junhao stretched out his right finger to the sky, and gave Tang Kueh a small knowledge lecture in an explanatory tone, "Well, let's put it this way, it is rumored that Shen Nong died of herbal poisoning Of course, I don’t know if there is any basis. Even in the world, there are many rumors, but Shennong and plants are really closely related. Speaking of which, you didn’t see the three holes. The eyes, nose, and mouth are four. Also, have you noticed his complexion? It’s dark and scary, it’s not so much a curse, I think it’s more of the poison of the plant plus something else.”

"You're so knowledgeable, what else, what is it?" Tang Kueh said to Mo Junhao in a daze. Some kind of Taoist family, but I am not a parent, and I don't have much contact with him, so Mo Junhao is more professional.

"I don't know yet, but those insiders who have a little vision can see that most of the people who really know the industry are unwilling to intervene, because among the herbs Shennong tasted, the most famous one is the most poisonous heartbroken grass in the world."

"Heartbroken grass, it's quite common in novels and movies, but does it really exist?"

"Modern times say heartbroken grass is a type of grass, not a specific one, but in the world, heartbroken grass actually refers to one type." Mo Junhao sighed, looked at his business card with his hand on his chin and said, "It's like a demon. The Taoist society raises a monster named Zhen, isn’t there a word for drinking poison to quench thirst? Many people think it’s the dove of the turtledove, but in fact it’s a kind of existence that is misunderstood by the world just like the crane crown red.”

"Hey, so that means Hedinghong also exists?"

"Existence is made by soaking the feathers of birds like Zhen in wine. Because it is colorless and tasteless, I don't know whether it is wine or poison that I drink, so there is a saying of drinking poison to quench thirst. Now this saying is only in the industry."

"Then it can be understood that this curse has something to do with the demon way?"

"Then I don't know." Mo Junhao muttered, stretched out his hands and lay down on the tatami, looked at the ceiling, and asked with a bit of sadness, "Do you think I should take this task?"

"Since my mother recommended it, she won't harm us, will she?"

"That too."

"Do you still have concerns?"

"Rather than worrying, it's better to say..." Mo Junhao sighed and turned his head to the side and closed his eyes. A blush flashed across the darkness in front of him. The woman with three holes on her face looked at Mo Junhao with a smile, Mo Junhao Shocked, he opened his eyes suddenly and said to Tang Kueh, "I always feel like nothing good happens."

"How to say?"

"This Mr. Lu only spoke half of what he said."

"Why?"

"First of all, it's a great anecdote that the country accepts Tu Fuzi's participation in archaeology. Do you really think it's writing a novel? Secondly, I'm not the only one in the industry. Why don't you look for an experienced old man? Novice? Finally, according to the information we know so far, they are not that capable of touching these levels of curses. Generally, if a curse of this level really came out, it would have to be in the main tomb. If it wasn't for them ...Probably the fault this time is not theirs, but another group of people."

"You mean, besides the expedition team, there are people in this tomb?" Tang Kueh asked in surprise, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong. Logically speaking, who dares to mess around in the country's territory?Do you think prison is easy to squat?

"I don't know, it just feels weird. Besides, I don't like him either. He seems to have misunderstood Taoism." Mo Junhao stood up and stretched, then turned his head and asked Tang Kueh, "Forget it, let's not talk about it." Alright, what's for lunch?"

"Let's order a takeaway," Tang Kueh remembered that when he first arrived yesterday, the person who sent the leaflets grabbed some from the closet. "Then I should contact Mr. Xia Lu?"

"Let's contact you later, and go to confirm something at night."

"Oh? Oh." Although Tang Kueh didn't understand Mo Junhao's plan, he would not refute Junhao's plan, and would basically implement it.

"By the way, Tang Kueh." Disgustedly throwing the flyer into the trash can, Mo Junhao turned to look at Tang Kueh and asked, "Is there anything else I need to add to the kitchen at home?"

"Huh?" Tang Kuo tilted his head in confusion, and then realized, "Don't want to eat takeaway?"

"Once or twice is fine, and I'm not interested in eating it every day." Mo Junhao turned around after being exposed by Tang Kueh, so he wouldn't say that Tang Kueh's craftsmanship is better than outside ones.

"I'll go buy it later, I need some seasonings, I don't have enough spatulas, and I don't have any knives at home... But now I only have the savings left in my hand. If you don't take over the job, we won't be here in a few days." I have to drink the northwest wind." Based on Tang Kueh's understanding of Mo Junhao, he could see Mo Junhao's little thoughts when he turned his eyes around, it was nothing more than thinking that he should be able to order food every day when he was with him, right?I learned my skills from some old masters during the two years of "wandering" outside. A 3-inch dagger can make butterflies in my hands. Whether it is Wensi tofu, squirrel mandarin fish or three sets of ducks, this learning speed I almost didn't piss off those old masters.

"Understood." Receiving Tang Kueh's cooking reply, Mo Junhao was so happy that he finally solved the food and clothing problem, and Tang Kueh knew Mo Junhao's taste best.

It was already dark outside the grocery store, Tang Kueh was sitting on the stool next to the counter reading a book, while Mo Junhao was watching TV series on his laptop.From time to time, some children after school come to buy something, or the adults passing by on their way home buy some gadgets. It's not that the business is booming, but at least it's not uninterested.Around seven or eight o'clock, the sky was completely dark. Although there were lights on the street, no one came to this grocery store specifically. Even so, it was only because the restaurant or snack bar next to it opened, and people who came to the grocery store It's just to buy a bottle of water or a lighter by the way.

Seeing that it was almost 9 o'clock, Mo Junhao turned off the computer and looked at Tang Kueh, "Go and close the door, let's go out."

"Oh." After listening to Mo Junhao's instructions, Tang Kuai hurriedly pressed the book onto Mo Junhao's computer and put it there.

With the sliding door closed and locked, Tang Kueh saw the manager of a small store nearby looking at him strangely. After thinking about it, it seemed that something was wrong, and he closed the door twice a day.But thinking that Mo Junhao was still waiting for him, he turned off the light on the first floor and went upstairs. When he pushed the door and went in, he saw Mo Junhao throwing his single-room crossbody backpack to him, took the hug and stepped on, He asked casually, "Where are we going?"

"Go to Uncle Langlang." Mo Junhao said as he opened the back door, went out from the stairs, and said to Tang Kueh, "The car keys are on the shoe cabinet."

"Here we come." Tang Kui took the door key and car key from Mo Junhao Wangzai's shoe cabinet and hurriedly chased them out, locked the door and put away the keys, and the two walked down the stairs. , couldn't help breaking the atmosphere and asked, "Go to Uncle Lang Lang, who is it?"

"Well, didn't you live in his house for a while when you were young? It's my uncle's drinking buddy."

"Ha..." Tang Kueh felt that he had an impression of this person, so he usually called him Uncle Jiulang, right?
