Chapter 336: Backup Plan
Early morning.
The road back to the small mountain village is overgrown with weeds, with dew drops on the blades of grass, cobwebs between trees, and mud and sand as you walk.
The birdsong is still quiet.
Zhou Li was still a little unaccustomed to it when he first regained his clarity, but now he has adapted to it, but he has left the habit of listening to the sounds around him. He will draw pictures in his head about any sound he hears, but these images may not be accurate. It's just a matter of comfort.
He looked back, and the scenery here was not as good as Mingjiu Mountain.
By the way, he glanced at Zheng Zhilan.
Zheng Zhilan walked quietly between him and Brother Nan, and her mood looked no different from usual.
Zhou Li retracted his gaze.
After returning to the small mountain village, the first thing Zheng Zhilan did was to go to the cowshed and lead the cow to the water's edge.
Recently, it was hot, and the buffalo loved to play in the water, so she would get up early every day to lead the cow to the edge of the waterhole and let it play for a day, and then bring it back in the evening.
It's a part of her life.
The weather was a little hot, and he was sweating a little when he climbed the mountain, Zhou Li consciously turned on the fan after receiving Brother Nan's eyes, and took out herbal tea from the refrigerator and poured it one by one for Brother Nan and Huaixu who were sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals.
He has now lost his privileges.
After pouring the tea, Zhou Li also sat down, he didn't think the fan was enough, so he picked up the fan on the table and picked it up.
Fan yourself twice, and then fan Brother Nan twice.
Huai Xu poked his lips into the tea bowl, gurgling and spitting, his eyes aimed at Zhou Li, and suddenly he raised his head and asked, "How do you feel?"
"It's fine. ”
"Is it okay?" asked Brother Nan.
"Hmm. ”
"Do you think you enjoy having us serve you?" asked Brother Nan.
"It's not. ”
Zhou Li paused: "Actually, it was a little more difficult at the beginning, but after two days, I got used to it and found a rhythm, which was much better." And occasionally changing the way of life and being quiet is also an experience. ”
"I can't stand it. Huai Xu waved his hand.
"Sounds pretty good. Brother Nan raised his eyebrows.
"You definitely can't stand it!" Huai Xu didn't think she could adapt to this kind of life, "Have you ever had a day when you didn't play games?"
"That's not for sure!" Brother Nan refused to admit defeat, "Next time you try to change me, it's time for you to serve me!"
"Whew......"
Huai Xu didn't bother to argue with her, and continued to poke his mouth into the tea bowl to spit bubbles, his eyes looking back and forth between the two.
The hotel where they stayed last night, he stayed with Zhou Li as usual, and heard Zhou Li talking in his dreams and talked about Brother Nan again, it seemed that Brother Nan was taking the child, but he secretly grabbed ice cream with the child to eat, which made Zhou Li angry and chased her and scolded her.
It's kind of interesting to think about......
"Gurgling ......"
It didn't take long for Huai Xu to raise his head again, lick the water off his lips with his tongue, and turned his head to look outside: "Why are those two back again?"
"Who?"
"Those two old monsters. ”
"Xinghui and Jibai-sama?"
"Whew!"
"I'll go out and see!"
Zhou Li said, but lowered his head.
Brother Nan, who originally said that his shoelaces had fallen off and bent over to tie his shoelaces, was squatting under the table at this time, seriously tying his shoelaces to the table legs, and the girl was all dead knots, tying one after another.
Zhou Li's face was expressionless, and he shook his feet.
"I'm going to go out. ”
“!!”
Brother Nan raised his head and looked at him, his expression glazed.
Zhou Li was even more speechless, and slowly said to her: "First, my eyesight has recovered, and second, even if it hasn't recovered, I can see you clearly." ”
"I sent it secretly. ”
"I perceive it. ”
"Shuffle!"
Brother Nan didn't feel guilty at all, and continued to tie the dead knot in his hand, then clapped his hands, left the bottom of the table backwards, and stood up.
Zhou Li: ......
Looking at her expression, he didn't expect her to help him untie it, so he had to squat down and untie it himself, and in the process, Brother Nan bent over and looked at him without blinking, and complained that he was unwinding too fast.
"Childish!"
"Boring!"
"Younger than the mental age of the dango!"
Zhou Li left these words, then went out, walked to the door and hesitated, and he took Zheng Zhilan's horse again.
Village.
Zhou Li, who was leading the horse, met Xinghui and Ji Bai who were chatting while walking, and he hoped that the purpose of their coming was the same as he thought, but his face was still calm: "Lord Xinghui, Lord Ji Bai, good morning." ”
"Good morning, Your Excellency Zhou Li. ”
"Good morning. ”
Both were courteous.
Zhou Li looked up at the sky: "It's a little hot today, it's just so hot in the morning, you guys come here and work hard, especially Lord Ji Bai, I brought you a horse over, you can ride." ”
"I appreciate the kindness, and I'm not tired. The smile on Ji Bai's face was obviously a little more.
"The two of you are here today ......"
"Oh, that's right!" Xinghui said, "We have been back to discuss it in the past few days, first, the environment here is indeed very good, and second, we are now old, and we really shouldn't be wandering around like we did when we were young, we should find a place to settle down." ”
"We see quite a lot of houses here. Ji Bai also said.
"I see. ”
Zhou Li's face was still silent, and he only said: "No one wants any houses here, you can choose one or two rooms you like to live in." ”
He paused for a moment, and then his voice changed: "It's just that these houses are in disrepair for a long time, and I'm afraid they need to be renovated......"
"It's time for a renovation. ”
"It's good to be able to live, we're not afraid of trouble. ”
"I'll ask someone to help you, it's much faster, it's better to haul the material from the mountain than to chop it yourself, and the modern material is strong enough. Zhou Li smiled and said, "Anyway, let's go to my friend's place to rest and have lunch, and we'll talk slowly." ”
"That's embarrassing!"
"yes, we'll do it ourselves. ”
"You're welcome. Zhou Li insisted, "Come with me, she always said that she wanted to thank you well, but you left in a hurry that night." ”
"This ......"
The two monsters looked at each other, and finally followed behind Zhou Li.
None of them noticed that Huai Xu was standing at the window on the second floor of a deserted house next to him, his figure hidden in the darkness and obscured by vines. The old monster looked at them happily with the corners of his mouth on his lips, knowing Zhou Li's thoughts very well.
"Have you ever heard of such symptoms?" Zhou Li had already told them about Zheng Zhilan's eyes.
"I've never heard of it. Ji Bai bowed his head.
"I've heard of something similar, some Celestial Masters will have some differences, some good and some bad. Xinghui said, "But this is usually innate, and it is also accompanied by the ability of the Celestial Master given by the will of the world, which is almost impossible to eradicate. ”
"That's ......"
Xinghui is a well-known and well-informed person among youkai, and if she says so, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to find a way.
The preferred solution, of course, is to find some way to restore Zheng Zhilan's eyes to normal. Zhou Li believed that even if she was allowed to choose, she would definitely not be willing to lose the ability to experience this world in order to gain the ability to recognize monsters.
The price is too high.
The last ...... can not be ruled out He can't do it after trying his best, he really can't do it, so he should have a backup plan.
Zhou Li thought about it last night-
People's routines and living habits must be different, such as him, he has at least eight hours of sleep a day, and even in waking time, there is a lot of time to be idle.
If you adjust your daily routine......
If his routine is similar to that of Brother Nan (referring to when he has nothing to do), he plays games at night until four or five o'clock in the morning, and wakes up at noon. And Zheng Zhilan usually goes to bed at eight or nine o'clock, well, since he taught her to listen to books and gave her headphones, she now has to go to bed at eleven or twelve o'clock. Even then, there are several hours of non-overlapping time in between.
This makes it actionable.
The premise is that you have to have a good relationship with Lord Ji Bai, and you have to have a very good relationship, otherwise you will be embarrassed to always trouble others.
So as soon as Zhou Li entered the house, he hugged the dumplings to the chair next to him, let Xing Hui and Ji Bai sit down, and made tea for them diligently: "Do the two adults have any taboos or preferences in their usual diet?"
"Just do it. ”
"That's right, we don't pick it. ”
"It's okay, just say it, Xiao Zheng's heart is better in this way. "Zhou Li is very sincere.
"So ......"
The two youkai looked at each other again.
"I don't eat meat. ”
"I'm not a vegetarian. ”
“...... Good. ”
