There's a bridge in front of you, and it's old.

There are a few trees at the head of the bridge to shade the sun, and Zhou Li sits on the bluestone guardrail in the shade of the trees. The shops on the opposite side are sparsely populated, and most people can't stand the ultraviolet rays at this time.

But there was an old man in old clothes sitting on the side of the street outside the shop, with a load of vegetables beside him, and the sun shone at his feet.

And no one bought his food.

He just sat and spent the long afternoon.

No cell phone, no one to talk to.

The old man's face was dark and wrinkled, and he squinted and stared ahead, and when the sun gradually went up, he put on a straw hat, and his whole face was shrouded in the shadow of the hat.

To be honest, there's nothing to see ahead, it's just a road.

Zhou Li wanted to know what he was thinking, he was like this when he was young, would he often be like this?

Until Huai Xu's hand waved in front of his eyes-

"What are you thinking?"

"Huh?"

Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh after a while.

When he came back to his senses, he saw the old man taking the kettle to the shop behind him to ask for water, and then a young couple came over, squatted down and picked among the burdens in front of the old man, and chose two bags of vegetables.

The old man carefully weighed the accounts and collected a few dollars.

Zhou Li looked elsewhere and said to Huaixu: "There is a shop that sells roasted tofu there, let's go try it." ”

"Okay!!"

With something to eat, Huai Xu's pace became brisk, he walked in front, and at the same time turned his head to look at the surrounding buildings, and said: "This county seems to be smaller than Puzhou County, there are no high-rise buildings, and there are few people. ”

"Pure. ”

"Yes, it's pure, it's boring!" Huai Xu nodded, "Just like in ancient times, I can't expect to eat for half a day!"

"Oh......"

Time is indeed very tolerant of this kind of small town.

Brother Nan has read the roasted tofu many times, and she said that she would find a weekend to take Zhou Li to Jianshui to eat authentic food, and Zhou Li also agreed.

It seems that I'm sorry for Brother Nan first.

Tofu is sold by one, with a minimum consumption of five yuan, because Zhou Li ate, he ordered another rice bowl for Huaixu, and wanted to buy a roasted tofu for ten yuan to try it, and then under Huaixu's gaze, the price gradually increased to twenty.

It's only twelve.

In the afternoon, there were few people, and one person and one demon waited for more than ten minutes, and the rice bowl and roasted tofu came up together.

The amount of both is very sufficient, exceeding Zhou Li's expectations.

But looking at Huai Xu's confident eyes, he didn't say anything. Picking up a piece of roasted tofu, the touch from the chopsticks is very hard, and the tofu is a small lump of more round, which seems to be different from the tofu he has eaten since he was a child.

Dipped, the taste is drier, and the dry dish is spicy.

It feels good.

Zhou Li changed the sauce again.

I don't know if the roasted tofu in this place is authentic, but he thinks it's delicious anyway.

And the Huai Xu on the opposite side has begun to gobble up.

"Slow down, we'll have to go shopping until the evening. Zhou Li poured him a glass of water.

"Hmm!"

Huaixu slowed down the speed of chewing.

After eating, they walked around the county again, and listened to Huai Xu say that the surrounding atmosphere was many and messy, and there was no lack of bad smell, in his original words, there were many cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods gathered near Chunming.

Sit at the entrance of the mall.

Sit outside the park.

Sit down at the bubble tea shop.

The time was almost up, and I ate a bowl of noodles again, and after eating, I received a call from Hu Xing, inviting him to dinner.

Finally it was night.

Zhou Li returned to Hu Weimin's bedroom, sat down after saying hello, at this time there were more people in the room than during the day, he listened to Huai Xu's opinion and politely asked them to leave, and then waited silently.

Hu Weimin was calm on the surface, but his expression was tense.

Seeing this, Zhou Li still pretended to be calm, although he was quite nervous, so that he could show that he had strong business ability: "Mr. Hu doesn't need to be too nervous, just treat it with a normal heart." ”

Hu Weimin nodded.

From eight o'clock to nine o'clock, Zhou Li couldn't help it, took out his mobile phone and lowered his head to play.

He opened QQ first and sent a photo to Brother Nan.

Li Dumao: Roasted tofu!

Li Dumao: / Daze

Zhou Li: That's right

Li Dumao: You actually went to eat roasted tofu behind my back!

Zhou Li: It tastes good

Li Dumao: Where have you been?

Li Dumao: You actually skipped class today/were in a daze

Li Dumao: Why didn't I find out that you are so bold, it's only the first week of school, and you are absent from class for a day, and Brother Ben Nan is so arrogant that he hasn't missed class yet!

Zhou Li: You are bored and have no reason to skip class

Li Dumao: What about the reason for your absence?

Zhou Li: Life is compelling.

Li Dumao: Just named, just now, organic chemistry, Brother Ben Nan gave you an answer, how about it, dogs, right?

Li Dumao: Righteous enough

The corners of Zhou Li's mouth hooked up a touch of arc.

......

Hu Weimin's expression on the side was a little complicated, and he opened his mouth several times to say something, but he was forced to hold back, and finally silently watched the master who was pinned on him send a text message after chatting QQ.

Until after ten o'clock.

Huaixu's voice came from behind: "It's coming!"

Zhou Li: I'm going to be busy.

Then he put away his mobile phone and looked slightly condensed.

"What's wrong?" asked Hu Weimin.

"Here he comes. ”

"Good!"

Hu Weimin suddenly became nervous.

According to Zhou Li and Huai Xu's rehearsal, Huai Xu will retract his breath at this time, and with his ability to disguise against the sky, even in the eyes of the big demon, he will only be an ordinary human being, and he will not cause alarm.

Of course, it is Zhou Li who is responsible for communication, and Huai Xu will only play the role of a 'thug' at most.

This is due to the fact that in case they come to the point of making a move, it is mainly a conflict between Zhou Li and the other party, that is, the police and the criminals. Criminals are not always so easy to anger the police.

With a click, the window seemed to open a crack.

A gust of wind gently lifted the curtains.

Hu Weimin became even more nervous.

In Zhou Li's eyes, there was a cloud of 'gray smoke' squeezing in along the window, the gray smoke seemed to have an entity, and Zhou Li could vaguely see his facial features. His gaze flickered over himself and Huai Xu, ignoring them, and drifting straight towards Hu Weimin.

The familiar feeling came, and Hu Weimin couldn't help but tremble.

"Your Excellency!"

At this time, Zhou left his mouth, he stared straight at the phantom in mid-air, and the lines were compared by him and Huai Xu several times: "Your approach is a little too unruly, right?"

The phantom was suddenly startled, turned its head and stared straight at Zhou Li, stunned for a few seconds.

"Heavenly Master?"

Hoarse and eerie voice.

Zhou Li nodded.

The phantom was silent for a moment, and in the process, he kept groaning in his heart - how long has the new era come, and it stands to reason that there are not many heavenly masters in the whole world at this time, how could he be met by himself so coincidentally?

"Ho ho, it's really rare!" in terms of momentum, he couldn't lose, "I haven't seen a human heavenly master for many years, and ...... So young!"

"Didn't expect that?"

“...... Do you want to be nosy?"

"Be reasonable. ”

"What's the truth?"

"You don't follow the rules. Zhou Li saw Huai Xu's eyes, so he immediately calmed down, "First of all, this kind of transaction between you is illegal in itself, but because of the principle of mutual consent, I will not pursue it." ”

"What's wrong?" the monster asked rhetorically, and at the same time showed a fierce face, this is a battle of momentum.

"Human law, demon law. Zhou Li was unmoved.

"You know a lot. ”

"I have my own legacy. ”

"Really?"

"But the problem is that you say you want to do it, but in the end you break the rules, and that's one thing. Second, in the end, Mr. Hu asked you to help him treat his wife, but not only did you fail to do it, but you also had to receive a payment, which is simply ......"

"His wife has a broken heart, and no one can save her. The monster's tone softened, "I also helped, but I didn't save it." ”

"Unreasonable. ”

"What do you want?"

"Leave, never look for him again, that's all. Zhou Li was very tolerant, "The others have already passed, I can't pursue it, and I don't want to pursue it with you anymore, this is your respect." ”

"You are a little Heavenly Master, how much ability do you have? Now that there are few human Heavenly Masters, even if I kill you, who can know?"

"Try it and find out. The tone was light.

"I desperately need humans to be angry, don't push me!" the youkai tried to threaten again.

"You're pushing me. ”

"No way?"

"No, I can't. ”

“......”

The monster floated in the air, staring at Zhou Li, and gradually approached Zhou Li, and its majesty gradually radiated.

Zhou Li remained steadfast.

Huai Xu glanced at the monster, very contemptuous.

But just when Zhou Li was still a meter away, the monster suddenly changed direction and floated out of the window: "This matter ends here, if you don't keep your promise and spread it, I will come to you...... Even if you are the first generation of Heavenly Masters of this era, I am not afraid of you. ”

With a thud, the window was opened and slammed shut.

Huai Xu tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Impotent barking." ”

Zhou Li looked back at him, and then looked at Hu Weimin, who was lying silently on the bed: "Mr. Hu, this matter is over, after a while, you confirm that there is no problem, just send me money." ”

After a pause, he added: "By the way, I offer a lifetime warranty on this matter, and if he comes back in the future, call me, and we will provide free after-sales service." ”

Hu Weimin's eyes widened.

We?

He nodded quickly and tried to calm down: "Thank you, Master Xiao Zhou, I am grateful, I will ask Hu Xing to prepare for the ...... immediately."

Then he was somewhat incoherent.

Zhou Li only said: "It's just to take people's money and eliminate disasters for others, Mr. Hu doesn't have to be polite, and I can take this money very easily." ”

He did take it so easily that it wasn't very steady.

I kind of want to catch that demon back and beat it up.

As for the payment, Zhou Li has endured three customers so far, if the laryngitis one counts. And every customer invariably chooses to pay immediately, compared to the arrears of wages in other industries, sometimes he will feel -

Is this okay?

After a pause, Zhou Li said, "Then please ask Mr. Xiaohu to send me back." ”

"It's so late, why don't you ......"

"It's inconvenient to delay any longer. ”

"Good. ”

So Hu Weimin called the two people outside the door to come in, and then coughed twice and said: "Hu Xing, Master Xiao Zhou still has something to do when he returns to Chunming, can you send him back?" Hu Jin, seal Master Xiao Zhou's red, double!"

Zhou Li wanted to refuse, but Hu Weimin insisted, so he didn't bother to say more.

Then he was polite for a while, Hu Weimin said that if he had something to do in the future, he would look for him, Zhou Li only asked him to help him advertise, and said to Hu Weimin that if there was a trivial matter, he would be willing to help him for free.

Hu Xing changed to a higher-level Mercedes-Benz, carrying Zhou Li on the starry night and driving back to Chunming.
