Picking up a greedy snake [Liao Zhai]

Chapter 21 Liancheng

When Gu Huai opened his eyes, his eyes had not yet adapted to the bright light and were shaken for a while.He stretched out his left arm to block his eyes, and his mind went blank for a moment.

He subconsciously touched the side and found that there was no one there.

He remembered that he slept with Lan Yuyan last night. He thought he would suffer from insomnia all night, but now it seems that he slept soundly, and he didn't even know when he left.

He lifted the quilt, and a slender object was thrown out by him, and fell to the ground with a "crack" like mud.He looked at the ground, wasn't that the snake he had thrown away.

Gu Huai picked up the limp snake, held it in his hand, and said in disbelief, "Erqing, you...you're back?"

Erqing lazily raised his eyelids, glanced at him, then quickly closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep as if extremely tired.

Gu Huai was surprised to find that there were more scales on Erqing's body, and each piece became firmer and fuller. The snake's body seemed to be covered with a layer of crystal, which reflected the sunlight in various colors and shone brightly.

He stroked the snake's body against the scales, and the edges and corners of the scales were like knives, drawing a bloodstain on the palm of his hand.

Gu Huai trembled, stretched out his palm and stared blankly at the wound on his palm.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and Gu Huai subconsciously stuffed the snake into the quilt.

Fu'an came in with a basin of hot water, and helped Gu Huai to wash up.After Gu Huai cleaned up, he went to see Gu Xianrong.

Gu Xianrong sat on a cork red lacquered official's hat chair: "That Mr. Lan really has supernatural powers, he can find the precious snake with a little magic, but he is a little arrogant."

Gu Huai said with a smile: "He is a god in the sky, so he doesn't need to eat fireworks in the world."

Gu Xianrong snorted through his nose, picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea.

Gu Huai stood for a while, and tentatively asked, "Father, do you need your help with the business at home?"

Gu Xianrong put down his teacup and said, "No need, go find your friends to have fun, your elder brother will take care of business matters."

"But brother, didn't you go away? Besides, it's not a problem for me to be idle all the time and eat rice."

Gu Xianrong stroked his beard and thought for a while, then showed a gratified smile, and said, "After Huai'er left the house, she really grew up and became sensible."

"Father, why don't you do this, I'll go to our kiln to help, how do you like it?"

The Gu family built a private porcelain kiln in the west of Taiyuan City to burn some vases, bowls and plates.Their family is rich in blue-and-white porcelain, with delicate body, crystal-clear and thick glaze color, rich and beautiful blue and white porcelain, which can be called "thin as paper, white as jade, bright as mirror, and sound like chime".Therefore, the ceramic industry has become the signature industry of the Gu family.

Gu Huai is a college student of engineering in modern society, so he naturally wanted to do some work related to industrial production, so he chose to work in a porcelain kiln.

Gu Xianrong frowned hesitantly, secretly worried that Gu Huai's going would only add to the chaos.But after thinking about it, it's okay for his family to lose a little money, and it's time for his stupid son to experience some experience.

So, he readily agreed: "Success, then when do you plan to go?"

Gu Huai lowered his head and considered for two seconds: "I'll go tomorrow."

"Well, after you get there, learn with humility first, don't rush to start. The porcelain fired in our house is all slow work and meticulous work, you have to learn kung fu thoroughly first."

Gu Huai nodded in agreement.

Early the next morning, Gu Huai started his work with great interest.

He was wearing a heather gray narrow sleeve and short brown, and he was sitting on a pony with his legs spread apart, and was trying to paste the kneaded mud on the turntable.

Beside him was a porcelain basin turned upside down, in which Erqing was kept.Erqing didn't thump or make trouble, just stayed under the basin and slept soundly.

Gu Huai found out that after Er Qing came back this time, he treated him a lot colder.In the past, the snake would wrap itself around his arms and legs, but now, not only did it never wrap around him again, every time Gu Huai wanted to touch it, the snake would shrink back, tense and vigilant. look at him.

This kind of behavior, including the longer and weirder appearance, made Gu Huai feel strange to Er Qing.

He always felt that Er Qing used to be like a silkworm baby, but now he vomited a pile of silk to wrap himself into a cocoon, maybe one day, it would break out of the cocoon and become a completely different creature.

Gu Huai dipped some water in his right hand and wiped it on the mud. He squeezed the gray mud with both hands. As the turntable turned, the mud gradually arched upwards and formed a circle.

While he was concentrating on his work and sweating profusely, there was a sound of frolicking outside.Then, the door was pushed open, and several wealthy sons in fine clothes walked in.Gu Huai recognized these people as a few playboy friends of the original owner.

"Brother Zihong, I found you. Why did you come here? Go drink with the brothers!" A young man with a thick head and a thick head laughed.

This man was tall and strong, with fair skin, perhaps because his eyes were too far apart, he looked a little silly.

"I'm working, don't go."

"Hey, the sun is coming out from the west," a handsome man in a purple satin robe jokingly said, "Second Young Master Gu has already learned how to work, Brother Erdan, when will you come back from the first exam, hahahahaha .”

There was a burst of laughter from around, Gu Huai didn't bother to talk to them, and lowered his head to continue pressing his mud ball.

The cheeks of that silly-looking man were flushed, he pushed the handsome man who had just spoken, pointed at his blushing neck and shouted roughly: "Damn Wang Huacheng, stop looking down on people! If I don’t win the top prize, I’ll go home and study, hum!”

After all, he flung his sleeves and left angrily.

The rest of the people were stunned for a moment, and then laughed more violently: "Hahaha, this Zhu Erdan is really a fool!"

Gu Huai did not want to participate in their activities.He was not the original owner, and he was not familiar with these rich young men. In addition, he really didn't appreciate the debauchery style of this group of people, so he didn't want to get involved with them.

Wang Huacheng walked behind Gu Huai, picked up Gu Huai's hairband and wrapped it in his hands for a couple of times, then said with a look of disgust, "Brother, you can't be serious, you dress up like this."

Gu Huai wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve, and the mud on his hands accidentally got on his face, drawing two gray lines of mud, which were particularly eye-catching on his fair face.

"I'm serious, you guys go back, and don't come to me for drinking and shopping in the flower street in the future."

"Hey, you kid..." Surprised and dissatisfied murmurs sounded behind him.

At this time, Zhu Erdan, who had just left, came back suddenly, held the door frame and said out of breath, "Outside...the outside is looking for a son-in-law!"

"Choose a son-in-law? Miss from which family, is she handsome or not?"

"It's Shi Juren's daughter, Shi Liancheng!"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Huai saw Wang Huacheng's tall figure swaying, and his face instantly turned pale.
