Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 1148 Step by step
Two bulls cannot coexist in one alley.

Da Ben got into a fighting stance, ready for a duel. Linglong was terrified and immediately turned into a bullwhip, stopping Da Ben in an instant.

Eighth Aunt slowly opened the door and asked, "What girl?"

Kournikova went up to help Aunt Ba up and said, "I said someone was sending a girl to my house, did you see it?"

Eighth Auntie immediately lost interest, turned around, and said, "I don't know, I only know that someone in purple clothes flashed by."

Eighth Grandma turned and went into the house. Kuva watched Eighth Grandma's back and muttered, "What a master. You can even see purple in a flash."

Kournikova didn't go inside. Instead, she led Daben towards the alley entrance, while Linglong reverted to her Ugly Duckling form.

A man, an ox, and a silly girl headed straight for the town.

Kova wanted to visit Blind Zhang; otherwise, he would keep thinking about it, which annoyed him.

At the entrance to the town's market, there was still that chubby little boy. Kova felt that the chubby little boy was closer to Blind Zhang than to his parents.

A steamed bun, a fortune slip for divination, and a tragic fate. Kournikova's heart skipped a beat; how could she possibly think of a tragic fate?

Kournikova parked her Mercedes at the archway and walked over. Before she could even squat down, she heard the chubby boy say, "My godfather is tired, don't bother him."

After saying that, she turned and ran towards the steamed bun shop with her short legs. Kournikova subconsciously looked up and saw "Longji Steamed Bun Shop".

"Old Zhang, what's going on here? When did you get a godson? Or is it about him recognizing his ancestors and returning to the family line?"

The blind man, Zhang Zhengyi, declared righteously, "Only filthy people can see anything; it's all filthy stuff!"

Kournikova blushed slightly and quickly said, "Did I say anything? I was just gossiping, otherwise life would be too monotonous."

"They're all gone. If they come back, it'll probably be a bloodbath," Blind Zhang said in a low voice.

"You're making it sound so scary, Lao Zhang. You're busy, I'm leaving now. I won't be back for a while." Before Kova finished speaking, she was already on the oxcart.

"Let's go, Ben, we can't come back to this place again." Kournikova patted Ben.

Linglong, sitting in the car, sniffed and said, "Brother, are you scared? Why do you smell so sweaty?"

Kournikova blushed even more and muttered softly, "No, I'm just nervous."

The Mercedes took off, heading straight for the western mountains. Kova whispered in the Mercedes' ear, "Mercedes, head for the eastern mountains first, we'll circle back through the fog."

The oxcart sped towards the eastern hill. Kova felt the danger of death in the town and broke out in a cold sweat. She felt that at least a dozen people were watching her.

The only way to Dongshan is through the town government. A man, a cow, and a girl sped past, impossible for anyone on the street to miss. Bai Nanshan saw them too. His town government was right in the middle, with a sign that read, "Keep out of the way, vehicles and horses keep out of the way, remain still and do not make noise!"

This Kova really doesn't take things seriously, does she think the town government is just for show? Bai Nanshan was furious and was about to call the town guards.

Then they heard Kournikova yelling, "Stop right now! Stop right now! This is the town government! We'll kill you and eat you!"

Bai Nanshan, watching Kournikova repeatedly patting Daben's arm, said, "I almost believed it."

Bai Nanshan sensed something amiss and said, "Maintain the status quo." Then he turned and went into the town government building.

With Linglong in tow, Kournikova shouted "Stop!" as she patted the Mercedes-Benz and headed straight for Dongshan towards the misty area. Outside, a crowd of people, filled with regret and discussing the situation, watched.

The Mercedes-Benz made a "moo" sound, meaning that I'm being blamed again.

Kournikova didn't care, but she kept urging the Mercedes on. She felt two people approaching her, getting closer and closer.

As she approached the edge of the fog, Kournikova saw Wen Xiucai let out a long howl, blocking the path of another person.

Kournikova didn't linger and plunged headlong into the misty Dongshan Mountain.

Town government office
Bai Nanshan lowered his head in thought. He saw the people chasing Kournikova and knew who they were, but he didn't know where things had gone wrong.

"Guards, patrol the streets of town!"

Bai Nanshan shouted, and the soldiers quickly assembled. A squad of twenty soldiers stood neatly at the town hall gate. Bai Nanshan took the reins from the soldiers, mounted his horse, and rode straight into the town.

Wherever the soldiers went, the people gave way. The procession stopped at the entrance of the market. Bai Nanshan dismounted, looked around, and entered Longji Steamed Bun Shop.

A moment later, Blind Zhang led the chubby boy into the steamed bun shop. "Boss, the chubby boy said he'd treat me to steamed buns, so give me ten first."

"Ten, enough to make you burst." The shopkeeper's voice came from behind.

The chubby boy ran to the back, leaving only the two of them in the room. "Who told anyone?" Bai Nanshan asked, sipping his tea.

Blind Zhang pretended not to see him.

"Blind Zhang, what are you pretending to be mysterious for? There are no outsiders in this town. I've seen everything. Speak up?"

Blind Zhang stopped pretending and said, "I don't know, it wasn't me, that's all I can say."

"How can you prove it?" Bai Nanshan asked jokingly.

“I’ve never left the town, and they’ve never come to the town,” said Blind Zhang.

Bai Nanshan pondered for a moment and said, "If the wind rises, it will either be a strong wind, which is fine, as we can see the rise and fall of the world. But if it's just a gentle breeze, it will be so subtle that neither you nor I can feel it."

Blind Zhang glanced at Bai Nanshan and said, "I'll keep an eye on the people inside the town, and you keep an eye on the people outside the town."

“Some people in the town are becoming disaffected; Big Brother’s prediction is about to come true. Can you keep an eye on people’s hearts?” Bai Nanshan said, frowning.

Blind Zhang said, "Let's see what Auntie chooses, but the traitor has to be found, otherwise there will always be a thorn in our side."

Bai Nanshan pondered for a moment, then asked, "Which family has close ties with Zhongzhou?"

Blind Zhang thought for a moment, then his expression changed drastically.

“You don’t need to say anything, I know.” Bai Nanshan picked up his riding whip and walked out of the steamed bun shop.

An hour later, the chubby boy came over and said, "My dad said five is just right!"

"Your dad doesn't know anything." With that, Blind Zhang walked out of the steamed bun shop.

The chubby boy froze, then burst into tears and ran into the inner room.

His father came out, stopped him, and said, "Son, Dad will take you to find your mother!"

"When?" The chubby boy stopped crying.

“Now!” Fatty Bao said decisively.

Dongshan Mist
After Kournikova brought Linglong in on her Mercedes-Benz, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Da Ben was furious about being blamed, and he was panting heavily, making "puff puff puff" sounds.

Linglong was furious about the hasty retreat and slapped Kova on the back, making a "slap slap slap" sound.

Kova was looking around. It was his first time in the misty East Mountain. He noticed that the color of the mist was different from the West Mountain, which was white. Why was it red here?

"Have you been here before, Linglong? Why is everything red?" Kournikova asked nervously.

Linglong was even more furious and shouted, "Didn't you see the sun setting? Are you a pig?"

Kournikova then noticed the glow of the setting sun and exclaimed, "It's beautiful!"

"Did you just call me a pig? You've never seen anything before, have you?" Kournikova turned to look at Linglong.

Linglong said matter-of-factly, "Ugly Girl specifically told me to recognize them, saying I had to remember two faces, one is a pig, and the other is you."

“Linglong, have you been to this place before?” Kournikova asked.

Linglong shook her head and said, "I've been following you ever since I woke up, I haven't had time to wander around."

“Let’s go, Ben, let’s go find your delicious food,” Kournikova said to Ben.

The Mercedes turned its head, looked around, gave Kournikova a disdainful look, and drove off down a road.

Kournikova looked at the Mercedes-Benz that was giving her a disdainful look and asked Linglong, "What does it mean?"

Linglong said, "It's looking down on you; it doesn't even know the sun is setting." After saying that, she jumped onto the back of the Mercedes-Benz.

After a while, all I saw was the same scenery.

Kournikova still felt something was wrong. Theoretically, the place where the sun sets is not necessarily in the direction of the Western Hills, and the Western Hills are not the theoretical Western Hills.

Kova felt her mind was going blank and confused. After thinking for a while, she realized that the western mountains where the sun sets in the west are not necessarily the western mountains of Baishan Town. Even if they are both in the west, there will always be deviations and unexpected events.
