Every day is one step closer to reality

As the invitations arrived one after another, the Feng family in Yangcheng became more and more lively.

Feng Yi heard a lot of scattered news from Feng Chi every day.

Unlike Feng Yi, who had been expelled from the family long ago, Feng Chi was assigned tasks this time and was very busy every day. When I have free time, I will share my knowledge with Feng Yi.

Feng Yi has not traveled far during this period, nor has he taken on any mission from the Joint Security Bureau.

The three editions of zodiac signs were made quickly with a lot of money, and the housekeeping efficiency was extremely high. There was a large box full of zodiac signs, and Feng Yi picked out five from each version, placing fifteen first.

Spending money on Pan Zodiac is different from Pan Meteorite. There is energy material inside the meteorite. There is no need for Feng Yi to deliberately output energy. The energy material in the meteorite will naturally trigger some synergy.

But the zodiac sign is different in spending money. The ornamental copper coins cast from this copper alloy do not contain energy substances. Feng Yi needs to use his own power to form a "shell" on the surface of the coins, which can also be said to be a kind of A different kind of "paste".

Fortunately, the composition of this alloy is already at the optimum ratio, so it does not require a lot of energy to coil it, but it does take a little time.

Feng Yi also tried putting money on these zodiac signs under his tail when sleeping at night, but what he saw when he woke up the next morning made him give up this approach.

Hmm... His sleeping position at night may not be very stable.

The tail is not honest and has many ideas.

Fortunately, there were only fifteen copper coins left at that time. If there were more, they might not be able to find them all the next day.

Perhaps it is because I have been busy coating the zodiac money plates for the past few days, and my energy has been used frequently, so some scattered active factors have escaped. There are not many, and ordinary people may not notice it. The plants in the courtyard seem to be growing better, but there are also many wild plants growing in this season, and they are not particularly outstanding.

What is truly obvious and intuitive is the koi carp in the landscape pond.

He didn't grow much in height, but his slimmed-down figure began to swell again.

When Feng Yi bought them back, they were still small fish that cost a few ten yuan each. Perhaps they were exposed to active factors since they were young and are now very sensitive to them.

You gain weight quickly.

As the night gets darker, the hustle and bustle of the lakeside park gradually subsides.

Feng Yi was sitting in the room, playing with a zodiac sign in his hand.

There was no light on, and in the dim room, the round copper coin flipping over at the fingertips glowed brightly.

This is a newly cast zodiac sign that has been coated with "paste". The specialized layer on the surface will glow when stimulated by energy. It's just that Feng Yi feels that this layer of "paste" is not thick enough and needs to be thicker.

Feng Yi has not changed into his original form at this moment, he is waiting for Feng Chi's call.

Feng Chi sent him a message during the day, saying that he would call him in the evening to talk about things at the old house.

Just as he was thinking about it, a new message from Feng Chi popped up in the chat app.

The flipped copper coin stayed between the fingers, and the light disappeared.

Feng Yi turned on the light in the room, put away the zodiac money, and clicked on his phone to send a message back to Feng Chi.

Soon, a video call request came over.

After it was connected, the background displayed on the screen was Feng Chi's house in the city center.

"Just came back?" Feng Yi asked.

"I could have come back an hour earlier, but there were some things going on over there, and I'm really annoyed!" Feng Chi looked tired, "It's only been a few days, and I feel like my whole person has changed! Oh my god!"

It was like I suddenly discovered something terrible.

Feng Chi: "Two more pimples popped up!"

Feng Yi: "..."

In the video, Feng Chi had a panicked look on his face. He hurriedly left a sentence, put down his phone, and disappeared from the screen. He probably went to the bathroom to take a closer look.

After waiting for about two minutes, Feng Chi's figure appeared on the screen again, and together with it, a jar of familiar facial mask appeared.

Feng Yi: "..."

Feng Chi: "Wait a minute, I'll put on a facial mask. I have to go to the magazine to take pictures tomorrow morning, and I have to press down on these pimples!"

In the past few days, due to the tasks assigned by the old man, Feng Chi had to receive several clan members who came from afar.

As the invitation letters were sent out, some clan members had already arrived in Yangcheng in advance, and among them were those whom the old man valued more.

Originally, Feng Chi didn't have so many tasks. After all, the old man didn't look at him seriously now. He was out of sight, so Feng Chi was happy and relaxed.

However, among the clansmen whom the old man valued, there followed a young overseas Chinese who was still an idol star abroad and was a member of a boy band. The other party said that he wanted to learn about the domestic entertainment industry.

The old man saw it and thought that it was appropriate to be generous. Then he assigned the reception task to Feng Chi and asked Feng Chi to take them to play.

After applying the facial mask, Feng Chi continued to complain to Feng Yi:

"The old man is an 'actor' who keeps talking when I am not needed. When I am needed as a tool, he is an 'artist'.

"And that one, the one I hosted, a group I've never heard of outside the 18th line, and they put on a bigger show than me! They put on airs, smoked and drank at the dinner table and boasted, and ordered a bunch of food when ordering He doesn't care about his throat when it comes to spicy food, but I still care about mine!

"I didn't eat too much food. Maybe it was because of my emotions that I got angry, and I broke out in two pimples. Fortunately, I have my precious facial mask!

"Hey, that guy wanted to ask me for a facial mask. What he meant in his words was that he wanted me to give it to him for free. What a good thing he was thinking of! I almost shouted the word 'get out' at that time."

Feng Yi listened to his complaints and asked, "Does the old man value this kind of clan?"

Feng Chi shook his head and said: "The old man is not interested in him, but his grandfather. The old man didn't stay in a hotel when he came to Yangcheng. He was left in the old house by the old man. It is said that he is quite senior and has a lot in common with the old man. My dad rolled his eyes when he said 'eldest son' when he opened his mouth and 'eldest grandson' when he didn't."

Feng Chi made a vomiting gesture, "The 'eldest grandson' he values ​​​​is the idiot I received today."

Picking up the magazine next to him and fanning himself, Feng Chi took a sip of warm water and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about them. By the way, brother, I learned from my dad today that there are very powerful people in the clan! The old man also I attach great importance to the other party, but they didn’t pay attention to him at all. He only said he would be there, but didn’t give a specific time when he would come over. I don’t know what it looks like.”

Feng Yi didn't know even more, so he could only say: "You can see it on the day of the ancestor worship ceremony."

Feng Chi: "I was too curious, so I asked my dad, but he didn't know much. He just said that it wasn't easy to mess with, so he told me to stay away. When the time comes, which family will be grander and fiercer, I guess it will be that one. ."

After hearing what he said, Feng Yi sighed: "These clan members don't seem to be simple."

Feng Chi: "No. There are all kinds of people from the clan invited by the old man this time. Some are just ordinary people. It's just that the date hasn't come yet, so they didn't come."

He also talked about some recent things he had been exposed to. In addition to the clan members, Feng Chi also shared some of his career-related experiences.

There are some things he can't say to others, but he can talk to Feng Yi.

It was getting late, Feng Chi yawned.

Feng Yi said: "You'd better rest as soon as possible. Sleep to regain your energy."

Feng Chi looked at the time displayed on his phone and responded: "Okay, let's stop talking here today. We have a lot of work tomorrow morning. I don't want to take care of the clan anyway. I asked my dad to answer the call. Just say I'm busy." Too bad to care about the reception."

After the conversation, Feng Yi put the phone aside, turned it into its original form, and continued counting coins. See which zodiac sign has the thinnest "paste" for spending money, and thicken it first.

The day of the ancestral hall celebration was getting closer, and he had to put away these zodiac signs in money for later use.

In the next few days, Feng Yi continued to count coins. From time to time, he listened to Feng Chi talk about the clan's affairs, and also asked Xiao Yi to check some relevant information.

Although Feng Yi had never met those clan members, based on what Feng Chi said and the information Xiao Yi investigated, Feng Yi already had a general impression.

Two days before the ancestor worship ceremony in the ancestral hall.

More people who received invitations arrived in Yangcheng.

Yangcheng International Airport.

A young man was carrying a bag and dragging his suitcase, following the guide signs toward the exit.

His skin was tanned due to constant exposure to the sun, but he had a strong build and looked in good spirits.

He looked around curiously. It’s my first time to come to Yangcheng and it’s very refreshing.

This trip was to participate in the celebration of some kind of ancestral hall. Before coming, he searched specifically for what clan relatives were and what clan relatives were.

If he hadn't participated in this event, he would have no idea about this at all.

In modern society, the cohesion of clans is actually not as strong as in ancient times. On the contrary, intra-family feuds and disputes between wealthy families are more common. Or maybe news in this area is more likely to attract people's attention.

But for him, the relationship within the clan didn't actually have much impact. He came over to make up the money and went back.

When filling in the information, he chose to have the Yangcheng Feng family help book the flight and also filled in the pick-up information.

He received a notification as soon as he got off the plane that there was a pick-up person and a pick-up vehicle, so he didn't need to worry too much.

Get in the car and look at the empty seats in the car.

"Am I the only one?" the young man asked.

"You are the only one at this time," the driver said.

Pick up and drop off according to time slots, so they won't be kept waiting for a long time.

The car drives directly to the hotel and there is a reception in the lobby.

The concierge took him there. There was a special area at the front desk of the hotel for clan members who came to participate in the event.

He showed the invitation letter and relevant documents, checked in after confirming his identity.

Following him to the front desk was a college student.

"Brother, are you also... uh, a clan relative?" the other party asked.

"I should be considered a clan relative. My Chinese name is Feng and my grandmother is Feng. I came here on her behalf this time."

"Same, I'm taking the place of my dad. He's not available for a business trip. I'm studying in college in the next province and I took a leave of absence. If I hadn't received the invitation this time, I wouldn't have known that our family still has some relationship with the Yangcheng Feng family! We book business seats even when taking the high-speed train!”

"When I flew, they also booked business class. The Yangchengfeng family is very proud! My great-grandfather emigrated overseas and doesn't know much about things here."

"Oh, foreign Chinese are yes."

"Well, I have two names. The Chinese name was given by my grandma, which is Feng Shou."

"Hahaha! This name sounds very festive!"

"My family grows fruit trees. My grandma said she hoped for a bumper harvest every year, so she gave it this name."

"Very good, very good. My name is Feng Zheng."

"...It's also quite interesting."

After completing the formalities at the front desk, the two of them walked to the elevator together.

"Brother, come and be a friend. Those of you living abroad, do you know anyone from the Feng family in Yangcheng?"

"I don't know him. After I received the invitation, I searched the Internet and found out some information. It seems that the most famous one is Feng Yi? The one who is very good at catching snakes is famous overseas." Feng Feng asked.

Feng Zheng looked around and lowered his voice: "Feng Yi was born in the Feng family in Yangcheng, but he has been expelled from the family. You should try not to mention him in front of the people in the Feng family in Yangcheng."

"That's it. I was still thinking of asking him for advice." Feng Shou said regretfully.

"What do you want me to ask you?"

"Please tell me how to catch snakes. In the area where I live, snakes are often encountered. In the past years, snakes were not allowed to be killed, but now the number of snakes has increased."

"Wow! Then the environment you work in is very dangerous."

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Feng Shuo didn't feel that it was very dangerous.

But Feng Zheng, who has lived in the city since childhood, is very afraid of snakes.

Feng Zheng said: "The same surname is Feng, but the temperament is really different. I also saw a few people who were very pretentious, and their pomp was just like the black ones on TV..."

While talking, the elevator opened.

Several strong bodyguards in black came out protecting a seven or eight-year-old girl in the middle.

The little girl seemed to be in a bad mood. Her leather shoes clicked on the tiles, and every sound was filled with anger.

However, Feng Suo and Feng Zheng didn't take a long look. They were quickly blocked from view by the bodyguards and glanced at them in a warning manner.

The way the bodyguard dressed and looked clearly told others: I am not someone to be trifled with!

Feng Zheng avoided his sight and waited for those people to go away.

"Ahem, let's get into the elevator quickly."

There was silence in the elevator for a moment.

Feng Suo: "Which one was it?"

Feng Zheng: "That's what I didn't finish just now. I saw them in the shopping mall before coming to the hotel. I vaguely heard them, and they seemed to be invited clan members. The scene was very grand."

Think back to what you just saw.

"Looking at their situation, other passengers would probably avoid them if they were to fly... That's not right. Based on their appearance, they would probably just take a private plane. Alas, they don't look easy to mess with, so let's try to avoid them."

Feng Shou thought the same way. He was just an ordinary fruit farmer and couldn't afford to offend these people.

Especially the child just now, who had a bad temper.

They were on different floors, so they left one after another, but they were added as friends, making it easier to contact them.

After entering the hotel room, Feng Shou put down his luggage but did not pack it. He first informed his family that he was safe.

"Grandma, I have arrived safely and am in the hotel room. You see, the room configuration is quite good... yes, it is a room in a five-star hotel... the weather is not bad..."

Feng Mei walked to the window, opened the screen and looked outside.

The weather is cloudy, with clouds blocking the hot sunshine from time to time.

"Looking at the local weather forecast in Yangcheng, it will be cloudy in the next few days and there will be no typhoon... Don't worry, everything will go smoothly."

After the phone call, Feng Shou took a long breath.

Everything else went smoothly, and it would be even smoother if I could meet Feng Yi.

September 4th, sign in.
