CHAPTER XIV
On Sunday afternoons, M Cafe was bustling with customers.
Xia Yitong and waiter Rui Xiaoke are very busy.
Harry sat in a European-style antique chair behind the bar, sitting upright, holding a copy of "The Queen's Bewitched Husband" in both hands, looking sad for a moment, smiling for a moment, and full of affection for a moment.
Rui Xiaoke touched Xia Yitong's arm and whispered, "I can't see that the store manager also likes to read romance novels, I don't feel like it matches his temperament." ”
"I hadn't seen him read before. Xia Yitong said.
"I actually borrowed that book, I turned a few pages and thought the plot was old-fashioned, and I planned to return it today, so I put it in the locker. He flipped through a few pages, but he became addicted, and I was embarrassed to ask him. ”
As he spoke, Harry suddenly stood up from his chair, and he walked to the window and opened the curtains, the gentle afterglow of the evening shining on his handsome face, outlining a perfectly curved profile. He held the book in his left hand and rested it gently on the front of his ornate clothes, his eyes overflowing with tenderness looking into the distance, although behind the window there was only a newly repaired green belt.
"Maybe he hasn't read the novel, that's why he finds it particularly attractive?" Xia Yitong said hesitantly.
Turning his head, he saw Rui Xiaoke looking at Harry with an obsessive expression, "The side face of our store manager is really like a god's mansion." ”
What kind of adjective is this? Xia Yitong glanced at him again, and the image of Harry standing on the top of the mountain in white came to mind, huh...... It doesn't seem very awkward.
"Hitomi, do you believe that there will be true love between the queen and the demon pet?"
"I believe it. Xia Yitong replied without thinking about it, you are the boss, you are right.
Harry's eyes were full of joy, if the mood could be materialized, there must be many pink bubbles floating around him at this time, and he then asked, "Then what do you think is the probability of them getting married?"
This time, Xia Yitong felt that it was 100% too fake, so she thought about it seriously.
First of all, there must be a demon, it must be male, and it can't grow crooked melons and cracked dates like she had seen before, and it looks almost the same as growing into a peach. And then he was willing to be a pet, and in the end he happened to be raised by the queen, and finally the two looked at each other, and came together despite all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, how small is the probability of this. But the boss thinks there is, there is.
"Almost half. Xia Yitong opened his mouth.
The pink bubble shattered beside Harry, and he shuffled back into his antique chair with heavy steps, settling into a loveless pose.
"I think I've lied to my greatest conscience, and he's still not happy. She said to Rui Xiaoke.
Rui Xiao can extend his thumb.
The phone at the front desk rang suddenly, and Xia Yitong picked up the phone: "Hello, M Coffee Shop." ”
"Is it Xia Yitong?"
"Hao Yile?"
"I couldn't find your phone number, so I had to look up the phone number of M Coffee Shop on the Internet, can you go home now?"
The wind chimes at the door made a crisp sound, and seven or eight men and women walked in with a smile, and Rui Xiaoke hurriedly greeted him: "Welcome." ”
"Now...... It might be busy, I get off work at 8 o'clock, how about I call you after work?"
Hao Yile was silent for a while, Xia Yitong thought she was angry, and said, "Why don't you come to M Coffee Shop to find me first, and then go to my house in a while, and I'll make you something to eat." ”
Hao Yile remained silent.
Just when Xia Yitong thought the phone was broken, her low voice came: "I can't go out now." I have something that may have dropped at your house, you can help me find it, find it and call me. ”
"What is it. ”
"It's a white, walnut-like ball. ”
"Okay. ”
After hanging up the phone, Xia Yitong saved Hao Yile's mobile phone number on his mobile phone and got busy.
Just after 8 o'clock in the evening, she said hello to Harry and hurried home.
White punishment is not there. She looked around the dining table but didn't see anything spherical, and then she looked near the sofa, she lifted the sofa cushion and took a step forward, and kicked something with her toes, and the immortal bell on her foot made a slight "jingle" sound, and the thing was kicked out of the distance and hit the wall before stopping.
Xia Yitong picked it up, it was an oval sphere almost identical to a walnut, the difference was that it was ivory white, with the natural texture of walnuts on one side and complex totems engraved on the other, and if you looked closely at those totems, they looked like a hideous face.
I don't know why, Xia Yitong felt that the pattern on it made her feel very uncomfortable, so she casually put it into the small apron on the short skirt.
She picked up her mobile phone to dial Hao Yile's number, but she didn't get through three times, thinking that she might not have heard it, so she sent her a text message: "I'm Xia Yitong, I found your things, and I called back when I saw the message." ”
After texting, she went into the kitchen to make herself a supper.
Suddenly, the light outside the kitchen window dimmed, followed by screams from far and near.
Xia Yitong hurriedly opened the window to look out, and found that except for the Jubao community, all the surrounding communities were without power.
A minute ago, in a deserted park two kilometers away from the Jubao community, a gust of wind blew from the inside out, the crazy weeds were flattened by the wind, and several old-fashioned street lamps on the side of the road suddenly exploded, and at the same time, the surrounding two kilometers gradually fell into darkness.
The already barren park lost its lights and looked even more terrifying, and a cloud of withered autumn leaves rubbed against the pavement, making a distinct and strange sound in the silence.
But if youkai pass by, you can see that these are just illusions made for humans with the simplest barriers.
Behind the enchantment, there is a tall gatehouse, with red walls and green tiles, carved beams and painted buildings.
There are four rows of lanterns, 10 in each row, and 40 bright lanterns hang in front of the gatehouse, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daylight. Under the gate, two huge frogs, wearing red umbrella skirts, each held a red lantern about the same height as them and guarded the two sides of the gate, one lantern with the word "Shou" and the other with the word "Wei".
A gust of wind suddenly rose, and the door was blown open from the inside to the outside with a "clang", and the bright lantern in front of the door was blown crookedly, and the two frogs hurriedly hugged their lanterns and turned their backs, for fear that they would also be blown out.
Feng Shan's angry voice came from inside: "I don't know? What do you mean I don't know? You've been counting all day, and you haven't figured out how many things I have? Why is there only one ghost walnut left? Meng Meng told me that I lost one, and I have already recovered it from the changeling, why is there one missing?"
In front of him, a black spider the size of a bowl stared at a pair of big innocent eyes and said something. Then he quickly opened and closed the dozens of small boxes around him with eight legs, and opened and closed them. After checking them all, the little spider with a round head and a round brain purred at Fengshan again.
Feng Shan raised his forehead and said helplessly: "I usually tell you to eat more, eat more, and those with low spiritual power can't even speak." ”
The little spider jumped up and jumped on the beam of the house, and pulled a filament to hang in front of Feng Shan, and its eight legs were grunting and purring.
"I understand, it's true that I haven't seen the other one?"
The spider nodded.
Feng Shan sighed lightly and said, "Do you know that this ghost walnut is made from the residue of the refining process of the Hundred Bone Grass, and the Hundred Bone Grass has extracted pure demonic power, so the rest is filthy demonic power full of resentment." And it takes a lot of residues from the hundred bone grass to get together to make a ghost walnut, so the ghost walnut also has a name, called ten thousand bone cores. It can gather spiritual power, even if it is the spiritual power that has been dispersed, as long as there is a little bit of ghost walnut, the ghost walnut can slowly repair it all, and at the same time implant its own resentment into it. After the repair is completed, this guy who is full of resentment will find a way to have another body and be reborn. ”
The little spider tilted her head, "Woo-goo." ”
"You ask me how to regain my body?"
"Tweet. ”
"No, even if the youkai took the human body, the human body's fragile body would not be able to support it for a few days before it rotted. But ......" Feng Shan evoked a playful smile.
The little spider stared at him expectantly.
"Want to know?"
The little spider nodded like pounded garlic.
"What do you want to do?"
……
The little spider and Feng Shan looked at each other for a second, and began to shake their heads frantically and dance with their hands.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you. Feng Shan held the moist and hideous ghost walnut between his fingertips and said: "You need a lot of half-demon blood, whether you give it cup by cup, or suck the whole person dry, and use the half-demon blood to reshape your body." ”
The eyes and mouth of the little spider were surprised into three "0s", and cold sweat broke out.
It sounds terrible, it turns out that everything that the account keeper touches is so dangerous, it still waits for the owner's anger to dissipate and take the lemon back, weaving is much safer than the bookkeeper.
Suddenly, the ghost walnut on Feng Shan's fingertips trembled.
He frowned slightly.
After a few seconds, the ghost walnut shook wildly.
He raised his hand and threw the ghost walnut to the little spider, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Another gust of wind blew open the door that the two frogs had just closed in unison.
The two frogs hurriedly hugged their respective lanterns and turned their backs, and the lantern with the word "Wei" written on it flickered for a moment, but it was extinguished.
Xia Yitong pressed the mop to the ground, trotted all the way from one end of the house to the other, and then trotted all the way from that end to this end, mopping the floor.
The immortal bell on her feet rang non-stop as she moved.
Something was shaking in the short skirt hanging on the bedroom hanger.
After a while, she stopped sweating profusely and took out her phone in her apron to look at it.
Hao Yile still didn't call her back, she called her a few more times, but no one answered.
The time on her phone showed 11 o'clock, she wiped her sweat, and thought to herself, even if she went to find her now, she would definitely not be able to enter the dormitory, so who else could contact Hao Yile?
Tao Ziyi should be able to, but she doesn't have Tao Ziyi's contact information, Bai Xing will definitely be able to contact the beauty who is with Tao Ziyi, and she should be able to contact Tao Ziyi if she contacts that beauty, and then since Tao Ziyi knows Hao Yile's phone number, maybe she also knows her roommate's phone number, so that she can find Hao Yile.
After turning around, although it was a bit complicated, as long as she could be contacted, she was relieved.
Xia Yitong pulled out the communication device from her ear and was about to call Bai Xing, when suddenly there was a sound of a broken wine bottle from the direction of the bedroom, which was the beer bottle she was hanging outside the bedroom window.
She lives alone, and although few people dare to enter the Jubao community, she occasionally encounters some explorers who are not afraid of death climbing the windows of her house. Feeling scared, she learned from the Internet to hang a beer bottle outside the window, and whenever the window was opened, the bottle would fall and make a sound.
Xia Yitong tiptoed to the door of the bedroom with a mop.
By the light of her bedroom, she saw a man leaning out of the window, carrying her bodice in one hand and fumbling in the uniform skirt hanging under the bodice with the other.
The man raised his head when he heard the voice and met Xia Yitong's gaze.
She froze suddenly, and her voice trembled uncontrollably: "Zuo Yuming......"
Feng Shan narrowed his eyes, his fingers moved slightly, and suddenly he fell from the window with a scream.
