Chapter 112: Father Gu Proposes Dividing the Family
Since every household was getting fish today, Li Qingyun did not send pickled-cabbage fish to the ancestral home or to Cheng Jie’s place.
At the ancestral home, they also cooked a fish to eat today. It was a rare good day all year: yesterday grain was distributed, today fish. Mother Gu even made a pot of corn-and-mixed-flour steamed buns and killed a small fish to braise.
Their family was large and had many working hands, so they were allotted five fish, four large and one small.
As for the remaining four fish, Mother Gu had Eldest Gu clean them, rub them with coarse salt, and cure them. The next time they would be eaten would be at New Year or when guests came.
After the meal, Gu...
A bizarre scene suddenly appeared before Zhang Fan’s eyes: a ghost in ancient clothing, wielding a long blade, emerged behind the young man and slashed toward Zhang Fan.
"Most of the strong ones have gone out to hunt demonic beasts and earn points. Among the Nine Guardians, only Xiang Wu is in the city. As for whether Xiang Tianwen is also in the city, we cannot be sure!" Zhao Liu said.
With those textbook-smooth movements and that nimble, agile footwork, anyone who did not know better would probably think Geng Haoshi was a professional boxer too.
And Qi Zihan, who was heading outside, still did not see the masked man’s true face in the dark factory, though all the way he remained worried about Zhang Fan’s safety.
Wuji and Tanyun agreed with the two girls’ guess: the sparrow hawk that had flown off would certainly draw a large force from the Demon Heaven Sect, and when that happened there would be another fierce battle. What they needed to do now was rest well, gather their strength, and prepare for even greater challenges.
"Second Brother, what’s wrong?" Seeing this, Yang Mimi reached into the pocket of her athletic shorts and pulled out a tissue. "Second Brother, is the injury from the last time you saved me from that fall still not healed?" As she gently wiped the blood from Geng Haoshi’s nose, she asked softly with concern.
This time, the old turtle was truly furious. With its hind legs planted, its two front paws, like a pair of hands, whipped up boundless storms and bombarded Huang Di with relentless fury.
No, they could not retreat. Since they had broken into this dragon’s den and tiger’s lair, they had to tear the place apart, utterly destroy Demon Heaven Fortress, and rescue Abbess Tanyun. That was the purpose of their nighttime assault on Demon Heaven Fortress.
Xia Zhi did not wait for Gu Beicheng. She fetched a basin of water herself, washed the makeup from her face, then opened the door and looked left and right. The third floor was very quiet; no one was there.
"Do they have any even more powerful formations, or formidable weapons or the like?" Hongxian wanted to know more.
With the addition of two veteran mechanics, Hong Gang and Dong Rongcheng’s workload was instantly lightened, and the number of cars they could repair each day also increased.
He was calm and unhurried, with a faint, elusive smile. Faced with the gazes of the gathered bosses and businessmen and the cameras of the media, he remained completely natural, with excellent composure.
But Sima Yi’s boat had already gone some distance away, and gusts kept rising now and then along the bank of the Yellow River. Shen Guang struck in that instant as well, but the arrow flew a little off target; it did not pierce Sima Yi’s heart, but struck his back instead.
When the phone rang, Qi Yu took out his mobile and glanced at it, only to find that the caller was Tony Stark.
In the vast sky above, several powerhouses walked calmly forward, instantly drawing the attention of countless innate martial cultivators below and becoming the center of everyone’s gaze.
That was right: the American server players had decided that the side where Yanhua Yileng was located must be the breakthrough point, and Ye Luo’s side was only there to mislead them.
Seeing that Yang Gao not only did not dodge but instead came killing straight toward him, Dong Jingzhen was overjoyed. He brought his great blade crashing down on Yang Gao with overwhelming force, like Mount Tai falling from the heavens.
However, before the spaceship could even launch, a suppressive force descended from above. In the distance, a lion-like demon powerhouse flickered in and out like a star whose light was wavering, and within a few breaths he had arrived not far in front of them.
The people around all nodded in agreement. Earlier, you, Edward, had also provoked Xu Taiping; when you were set on fire just now, it was Xu Taiping who put it out for you. And now you actually say he did not help you quickly enough—truly biting the hand that feeds you and failing to recognize kindness.
