Chapter 36: The Story of Half a Gherkin

By the time the next morning's light rose from the sky, trivial sounds were already ringing in the kitchen.

Wearing a somewhat funny apron, Zhou Li yawned while stirring the egg yolk in the bowl.

Due to the warning of the terrifying sense of smell of the human wolf, Zhou Li had already burned all the clothes from last night, and even washed his body several times.

It's a pity that the stake has been soaked in blood, after all, it is not as convenient as the 'Apocalypse Armament', and it will be affected by the 'laws of physics' due to its own materials.

Therefore, if you don't clean and maintain it as soon as possible, I'm afraid that it will affect the accuracy over time, and even bad things such as rust.

So, after going home last night, Zhou Li had to disassemble it again, clean up every part again, coat it with the distributed oil, and reassemble it.

Fortunately, he strictly followed the steps in the manual, and his assembly talent was good, so there was no such thing as finding an extra part or a missing part after the spelling.

After doing all this, it was already three or four o'clock in the morning, and Zhou Li only had time to sleep for two hours.

Even though the power from the 'Tree Diagram' repaired the body's dark injuries, strain, and sequelae caused by the violent turmoil of mental power, Zhou Li still felt a little sleepy.

However, whether it was to kill someone and set fire to the world last night or save the world, there is still something that needs to be done the next day.

For example, making breakfast for a little girl who can only boil eggs on somen noodles......

Sometimes Zhou Li even thinks helplessly, if he didn't have himself, I'm afraid Lu Qianshui could only make instant noodles, nibble on bread and fruits to live these days, right?

Sure enough, just thinking about it makes me feel miserable.

He sighed helplessly, and once again with this sense of responsibility comparable to 'saving the world', he seriously devoted himself to the preparation of breakfast.

As time passed, footsteps came from the stairs, and soon Lu Xiaoshui appeared in the kitchen in his fluffy slippers.

Her sleepy eyes looked left and right, her hair was still a little messy, her eyes were foggy and yawning, and she wanted to grab Zhou Li's cut cucumber to eat.

Zhou Li flexed his fingers, knocked on her head without looking back, and pulled back the cucumber from her hand when she shrunk her neck: "If you eat this, you won't shoot cucumbers for breakfast." ”

Seeing that the half of the green and tender cucumber was far away from him, Lu Qiaoshui reluctantly jumped up, wanting to snatch back the precious food from Zhou Li's hand: "No, no, I don't like to eat it anyway." ”

After a moment of struggle, Lu Wanshui had to face up to a tragic reality - he couldn't reach ......

One of the strange truths that belongs only to the little ones: the question of height is an important factor in determining victory in the war!

In front, Zhou Li was holding the cucumber high and not letting Lu Qiaoshui take it away, while frying the eggs in the pot with a shovel, looking strange and abnormal.

After not feeling the battle for Lu Xiaoshui for a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to celebrate the victory of the 'Battle to Defend Cucumbers', but he didn't expect a sudden gust of wind to rush behind him.

Having not fully recovered from last night's killing, Zhou Li's body was subconsciously tense and wanted to fight back, but he didn't expect that it was actually a soft body that attacked.

Like a clumsy kangaroo, Lu weakly jumped onto Zhou Li's back, his fingers tugging at Zhou Li's back collar and hooking his neck, trying to snatch the 'fruit' of victory from his hand with the temporary height.

Sighing helplessly, Zhou Li put down his arm, let Lu Qiaoshui snatch away half of the cucumber, and said a little suffocated: "Let go, little ghost, I'm almost out of breath." ”

"Hmph~"

Lu Qiaoshui laughed proudly, no longer strangled his neck, and hung lazily behind Zhou Li's back like a koala.

Even the slippers on her feet fell to the ground, and she simply began to enjoy the spoils on the spot.

Zhou Li pouted helplessly, and moved back a little from the front of the gas stove, so as not to let Lu Qiaoshui accidentally kick and burn.

Anyway, Lu Qianshui's body is very light, and it's nothing to carry it for a while, so if she wants to stay here, it's okay...... Throwing away the evil thoughts that some other boys have, it's actually quite warm.

Hearing Lu Qiaoshui's yawning voice again, Zhou Li asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?" ”

Lying on Zhou Li's shoulder, she narrowed her sleepy eyes and whispered, "Well, I heard thunder last night." ”

Zhou Li's movements paused, and he continued to lower his head and scramble eggs: "Really?" ”

"Didn't you hear?" Lu Qiaoshui asked suspiciously: "It's loud." ”

"I slept very deeply." Zhou Li laughed: "Even if the sky is falling apart outside, you can't hear it." ”

"Cut, I'm embarrassed to say it."

Lu Xiaoshui pulled the hair on the back of his head with some displeasure: "And the whole person is spread out on the bed like a cake, sometimes even the quilt is not covered......"

Zhou Li turned his head to look at her blankly: "How do you know?" ”

Lu Wanshui was stunned for a moment, realizing that he had leaked his mouth, but he was still stiff-mouthed: "Hmph, of course I saw it." ”

"Hey, little ghost......" Zhou Li had the urge to cover his face and sigh, he didn't think that the way he slept before could be seen clearly by her: "Come down for me, explain clearly, run into someone else's room and peep and be careful of being hung up and beaten......"

Lu Xiaoshui proudly hugged his neck, like a little octopus wrapped around his body: "Hmph, if you still call me a little ghost, you won't come down......"

"Tsk, little ghost, you me off, you me off! I count to three, three, two, ......"

Holding Zhou Li's neck stiffly, Lu Qiaoshui laughed like a cowboy who tamed a fierce horse: "Hmph, you bite me, you have the ability to bite me!" ”

And then...... Bang!

Three minutes later, Zhou Li carefully smeared safflower oil on Lu Qianshui's forehead, looked at the little girl with teary eyes, and sighed helplessly.

"I told you to come down, didn't you?" He stretched out his hand and gently rubbed the corners of her red forehead: "As a result, both of them fell, but fortunately they didn't bring the pot down." ”

Lu Xiaoshui stared at Zhou Li's outstretched palm full of resentment, revealing a row of small white teeth, as if he was looking for a place to lower his mouth.

Fortunately, Zhou Li transferred his hatred in time, lifted the half of the cucumber that was well protected in the fall and did not fall to the ground, and stuffed it into her hand.

"Alright, go wash your hands and eat!"

Zhou Liyi said righteously, putting his hands behind his back, not giving her a chance to speak.

Seeing the failure of the sneak attack plan, Lu Xiaoshui chewed the cucumber like a vent, and turned his head angrily to wash his hands.

With the joy and sense of accomplishment of bullying children, Zhou Li snorted proudly, turned his head and walked into the kitchen to turn off the fire.

Just when the meal was on the table, Zhou Li, who had been hungry all night, just picked up the steamed buns, but suddenly heard the mobile phone vibrating from his trouser pocket.

The phone call at this time gave him a subtle premonition of bad health, and after taking out the phone from his trouser pocket, he confirmed this conjecture.

Hanging up the phone and casually putting it on the table, Zhou Li continued to pick up his chopsticks and prepare to eat.

The phone rang again, the screen kept flashing, and the strange number flashed and flickered, which was annoying.

Even when the call time is over, it will be called again, and it will continue until the earth is desolate.

Lu Wanshui's expression became more and more curious, his eyes wandered between Zhou Li and the mobile phone on the table, and his eyes were puzzled.

Putting down the chopsticks again, Zhou Li picked up the mobile phone on the table, his expression was a little helpless:

"You eat first, I'll answer the phone."
