Chapter 20: Crisis
Ah Qiu's salary is monthly, and the tavern is daily, but anyway, the money in Bai Mingqiu's hand is still enough now, so he is not in a hurry, he is busy with Ah Qiu's affairs here, and he came to the tavern in the evening, and Xiyue has been looking forward to it at the door for a long time.
"Brother Mingqiu!"
"Good evening at the setting moon." Bai Mingqiu said with a smile.
"Uh-huh." With a sweet smile, Xiyue walked into the door of the tavern with Bai Mingqiu.
Lao Jiangnoshima was calculating the day's accounts, and when he saw Bai Mingqiu entering the door, he said with a smile: "Mingqiu, how do you feel after doing it yesterday?" β
"Fortunately, there's nothing I'm not used to, it feels like receiving ordinary guests, but it looks different from ordinary people."
"Well, the monsters who can come into the tavern are generally just here to drink, and they won't do anything to the people in the store, and I've told a lot of young people, but they just won't come, but fortunately, you helped a lot in Mingqiu." Old Enoshima sighed.
Bai Mingqiu smiled: "Then from today onwards, I will be the official worker of your tavern." β
"Okay, okay." Lao Enoshima smiled with relief, "I can't bear the evening class, people are old like this, alas, the sunset will be handed over to you to take care of, although this child is sensible early and can take care of himself, but he is still too young, I am afraid that she is a girl's family sometimes mishandles things, and you will take care of it more in the autumn and help take care of it." β
"I see, old man, Xiyue will be fine." Bai Mingqiu agreed.
The sunset moon on the side began to be unattached, but when he heard Bai Mingqiu's words, everything turned sweet.
Girl's feelings are always poetry, aren't they?
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
It's still close to half past seven, and there is no one in the hotel anymore, and the humans and the monsters seem to have made an appointment, and the monsters don't come to invade the morning that belongs to humans, and humans don't set foot in the night that belong to monsters, and the two sides seem to have reached a strange tacit understanding.
Bai Mingqiu played with the knife in his hand, sat in front of the counter, a knife turned a thousand times in his hand, like a swallow flying on the grass, Xiyue was busy preparing in the back kitchen, Bai Mingqiu was going to help, but Xiyue insisted on not wanting Bai Mingqiu to come, saying that it was "It was rude to let Brother Mingqiu finish the cleaning work alone yesterday, this kind of work can't let Brother Mingqiu help, and leave the cleaning tonight to me, Brother Mingqiu will go home first", Balabala had a long list, which caught Bai Mingqiu off guard, Bai Mingqiu was powerless to refute, so he had to agree, and Xiyue smiled with satisfaction.
A figure appeared at the door of the store, it seemed that someone was coming, and Bai Mingqiu walked to the door to greet the customer.
"Welcome."
"Well, Bai Mingqiu."
Coming up was the white-haired girl named Fujiwara Meihong yesterday, she glanced at Bai Mingqiu, and said softly:
"It's the same as yesterday, but with just a pair of cups and chopsticks."
It seems that the girl named Kamihakuzawa Huiyin is not coming tonight.
Bai Mingqiu nodded to indicate that he knew, and went to the kitchen to prepare things, tonight's business is about to start.
"Sunset, two pots of wine and a stack of side dishes."
"Okay." The setting moon was ready and brought to Bai Mingqiu, who asked:
"Xiyue, that girl seems to come here every day, do you know?"
"Hmm... Is Brother Mingqiu talking about Miss Fujiwara? β
"yes, that's her, does Yuzuki know about her?" Bai Mingqiu said curiously.
"Brother Mingqiu come here~" Xiyue beckoned a little mysteriously, "This is a secret, I haven't told anyone else except grandpa~"
Bai Mingqiu didn't know why, so he leaned over.
Xiyue's cherry lips were pressed to Bai Mingqiu's ears, and he said softly, "Miss Fujiwara is protecting people." β
"Oh? How so? β
"That day I went to the edge of the village to pick flowers, I wanted to dress up the tavern beautifully, and suddenly a very fierce monster came out of the flowers, I was frightened at the time, and I thought I was going to die there, but I didn't expect that the monster was burned to death in the blink of an eye, I didn't see anyone on the side and looked into the sky, but I saw Miss Fujiwara flying away, mainly because the white hair was too easy to recognize." "Later, I heard a lot of guests in the tavern say this kind of thing, but none of them raised their heads to see Miss Fujiwara, and I heard that the bamboo shoots diggers who have recently been digging bamboo shoots in the lost bamboo forest will be brought out by the white-haired girl, and nine times out of ten it will be Miss Fujiwara." β
It's fun to protect humans in the world of youkai.
The corners of Bai Mingqiu's mouth hooked up a faint smile.
"In the end, Miss Fujiwara always comes to the West Market at night, these days in our tavern, after a few days I will probably go to other stores pΓΉ to patronize, the monsters drink too much and sometimes it will be very scary, but see Miss Fujiwara's monsters don't dare to do anything excessive, Miss Fujiwara is protecting us humans who open shops."
After Xiyue finished speaking, she looked at Bai Mingqiu, with an expression of "how amazing, praise me", Bai Mingqiu looked a little funny, reached out and rubbed the girl's head dotingly, and said with a smile: "Okay, Xiyue is really amazing." β
Xiyue smiled happily, and Bai Mingqiu said, "I took the things away, Xiyue, you are busy." β
"Hmm."
Bai Mingqiu sent the things to Fujiwara Mei's red table, accepted the money, and continued to stand in front of the counter.
It's still a normal night with nothing special.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
At Xiyue's insistence, Bai Mingqiu had to take the first step, Xiyue had to complete the cleaning alone before leaving, Bai Mingqiu stood in the middle of nowhere and waited for Xiyue to clean up the tavern and lock the door before walking away to his home, which could be regarded as a kind of protection in disguise.
Bai Mingqiu didn't have the leisure to enjoy the scenery tonight, and he went home very quickly, and he drove home in fifteen minutes.
There was a mess head-on.
The corn seedlings in the field that had been fertilized and loosened were all turned over, and they fell to the ground from east to west, and the results of Bai Mingqiu's hard work in the past two days were ruined, and then look at the hut at the edge of the field, all the furnishings in the house were smashed and destroyed, and even the only small wooden bed was broken at the waist.
Bai Mingqiu's residence was completely destroyed.
Five people, trying to wrap me up.
There was only a little bit of starry light in the dark night, although he didn't stretch out his hand and couldn't see his five fingers, but it was dim and he couldn't see anything clearly, Bai Mingqiu simply closed his eyes and entrusted a qiΔ to his ears, and this time he found that something was wrong.
Blunt instrument, there are three.
Left, Left Back, Center.
The direction of the wind striking with a blunt object was very hidden, but Bai Mingqiu still caught it.
Shave.
A little bit later, Bai Mingqiu's figure burst out, his eyes opened, and the figures hidden in the dark night were nowhere to hide, three big men with hammers, a young man with a long knife at his waist, and one empty-handed.
Yamato Sugida?
Without thinking about it, the three of them missed the blow and directly threw the hammer in their hands, and Bai Mingqiu had no time to dodge.
Iron block.
The whole body was as hard as iron, and after a kneading that was integrated into Tai Chi Jin, there were three more points of softness, but the three hammers hit Bai Mingqiu but had almost no effect.
"Hit, Boss." A rough and deep male voice, "I used my skill, even if this guy can fight again, he will be half dead." β
I don't know who whispered the word "um", the big man stopped talking, and the five of them walked in the direction of Bai Mingqiu.
Bai Mingqiu withdrew the iron block, and suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, like being struck by lightning, and almost vomited out a mouthful of blood.
There are still aftershocks in the body after carrying it, is it skillful?
He barely stood up, gritted his teeth and swallowed back the discomfort in his chest.
Tiger fell Pingyang was bullied by dogs, Bai Mingqiu smiled self-deprecatingly.
The red demon in the pupils is gradually blooming, and no one can see behind Bai Mingqiu.
A strange phoenix totem.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
