The moon hung in the western sky, and the figure of the shallow clouds scurried back and forth between the trees and the stream.

Looking at his still not very smooth body, Li Jiu was a little helpless. She rubbed her slightly swollen eyes, stretched her waist, and said listlessly, "Big nephew, let's stop here today." Go back early, so that no one can find out that we have been out. From now on, you can find time to practice on your own, sister, I don't have the energy to accompany you. ”

"This teacher is too irresponsible, isn't it?" muttered Yun Qian.

"Ah~~!" In the quiet of the early morning, there was a scream like a pig killing in the woods. Li Jiu broke a small wooden stick out of nowhere, chased Yun Qian and beat it fiercely, and taught: "The master leads the door, and the cultivation is in the individual." The teacher has already taught you all the exercises, and you are stupid, do you still have to work hard for the teacher to accompany you here every day!? ”

"When did I worship you as a teacher..."Yun Qian touched his head and continued to retort in a low voice aggrievedly.

"I've learned light skills, and now I don't want to admit it!" Li Jiu chased Yun Qian and asked fiercely: "Besides, am I your master!?" Isn't it, isn't it.. Isn't it! “

"Yes, yes..."Yun Qian used his clumsy body to hug his head in the forest, and Li Jiu intercepted him easily like a swallow. This commotion startled the sleeping birds in the bushes and soared into the air.

After a while, Yun Qian was out of breath. Li Jiu was also a little tired of playing, and picked up a blue finger and commented: "Yes, yes, you still have to be flexible, although you still look like a stupid chicken." When you can get rid of me one day, you will be considered a teacher. Come on, let the teacher test the school again to test your endurance. Catch up with me before entering the city, give you a day off today, if you can't catch up, hum, half a year's salary will be deducted! As soon as he said that, he chuckled, and his figure floated away like a light smoke.

"Wait!" Yun Qian was in a hurry and struggled to catch up.

In the morning light, the two of them rushed towards Jinling City one after the other. Looking at the figure in front of him who was getting farther and farther away like a broken kite, Yun Qian was a little annoyed, but he always had the strength to not admit defeat in his bones. He focused his mind at the moment, silently reciting the mental method in his heart, and repeatedly imitated Lijiu's body method in his mind, which forced the majestic internal force in his body to gather under his feet.

Murong Ju's fifty percent internal force was terrifying after all, and Yun Qian felt that his legs were in severe pain as if they were about to be torn apart, but he didn't want to be looked down upon by Lijiu, so he could endure it. The violent internal force made Yun Qian's every leap forward a few feet, but his staggering posture every time he landed was extremely embarrassing.

Under such a fierce chase, Yun Qian's breath became a little disordered, and the feeling of boredom rising in his chest made him sweat like rain, and his entire back shirt was completely soaked. At the same time, Yun Qian also found some tricks and rhythms in the constant collision with the ground. Lijiu's figure, which was already difficult to capture, was gradually able to see it again.

"Boss, you're going to lose!" Yun Qian shouted breathlessly, at this time, there was only less than three zhang between him and Lijiu.

Lijiu's long hair fluttered, her cheeks were as bright as autumn apples, she looked back at Yun Qian with some surprise, and chuckled: "The little guy is running quite fast, sister, I have to be serious too~ Giggles." With a burst of laughter like silver bells, Lijiu once again turned into a black dot and disappeared from Yun Qian's field of vision.

"Damn!" Yun Qian was a little discouraged, as if he had been doused with a bucket of ice water.

In front of Jinling City, the young woman's goose-yellow dress gently swayed in the wind. She lazily leaned on the white jade railing on the bank of the river, quietly waiting for the gray-faced young man in the distance to come.

"Old... Madame... You really don't keep it at all..."Yun Qian was out of breath and stumbled to Li Jiu.

"Hmph, now you know what a gap is!" Li Jiu said this, but he was still a little distressed when he saw the few broken places on Yun Qian's dirty face: "Let's go, go back to the restaurant, you can freshen up, take some medicine and rest for a long time." ”

The door in the backyard of the Yanyu Building creaked open a thin slit, and Yun Qian and Li Jiu sneaked in, but collided with a fat body.

"The hostess! Brother Yun! Morning! Liu Qishou smiled honestly and asked the two enthusiastically in a loud voice.

Yun Qian was taken aback and responded awkwardly: "Uh... Lao Liu... Morning..."

Li Jiuqing coughed twice, hid his panic, and threatened inwardly: "Yun Qian and I just heard a few dogs barking on the street outside, so we went out to check on it. Don't go around talking about this kind of trivial matter, Lao Liu, otherwise, you can get drunk and drink immortals..."

"I know, I don't talk nonsense everywhere. The proprietress and the little brother Yun are talented and beautiful, young people, hehehe... Yes... It's normal to have a little secret..."Liu Qishou smiled innocently and obscenely.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Li Jiu's face was flushed with anger, and he shouted angrily.

"Don't say, don't say! My old Liu has the tightest mouth! Liu Qishou was really angry when he saw Lijiu, and he slipped away awkwardly.

"It's so dangerous..."In the room, Yun Qian took the lead in breaking the silence.

"This Liu Qishou doesn't know where it came from, and it always makes me feel uneasy." Lijiu's brows tightened.

"Fortunately, he seems to have misunderstood our relationship and didn't notice anything else..."Yun Qian didn't know whether he was comforting Lijiu or comforting himself.

Li Jiu's face was slightly cold, and he said coldly: "Don't underestimate him. This Liu Qishou is crazy on the surface, but in fact, he knows everything very well in his heart. His gibberish is nothing more than an attempt to make us let our guard down. At this time, the ordinary worker is still resting in the room, but he can knock you and me in the backyard. Maybe he was busy with something to do after we left last night. Thinking about his unfathomable kung fu is always scrupulous. ”

"What then?"

"The only thing left now is to be vigilant and find out what his true purpose is. If you find out that he has a bad plan, you will find an opportunity to kill him..."Li Jiu said, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes, two slender fingers lightly swiped his neck.

"It's... It's just you and me...?" Yun Qian hesitated.

Li Jiu waved his hand in annoyance: "Our existing strength is too weak, but when it comes to danger, we can only fight to the death." ”

In the room, the two fell silent again. After a while, Li Jiu whispered again: "If it's really a matter of life and death, you can go as far as you can." Your Highness... I need you more. ”

Yun Qian shook his head, didn't want to say anything more, pushed the door and left.

At three o'clock, Yanyulou started another busy day. Yun Qian came to the back kitchen with a groggy head, and when he saw Liu Qishou's honest and hateful face, his sleepiness suddenly dissipated a lot. Still thinking about the previous conversation with Li Jiu, Yun Qian's expression when he looked at Liu Qishou couldn't help but be a little unnatural. From the bottom of his heart, Yun Qian is still willing to believe that Liu Qishou has no malicious intent.

"Little Brother Yunqian!" Liu Qishou took the lead and greeted warmly.

"Well, Lao Liu. Is there anything I need help with? Yun Qian asked a little coldly.

Liu Qishou patted his big belly, and said with a smile: "Little Brother Yunqian, do you think the medicinal stew I said yesterday is still feasible?" “

"Well, not bad. If Yanyulou can provide such a unique dish, it will inevitably be very prosperous. It's just Lao Liu, or the ingredient problem I said before, it doesn't seem to be so easy. Yun Qian was a little absent-mindedly perfunctory.

"It's not easy to find some herbs." Liu Qishou said excitedly: "I think it is better for us to go to the mountains near the outskirts of the city today to investigate." If you come across the right materials, bring some back. ”

"Huh? Suburbs? Yun Qian was suddenly a little vigilant and refused, "There are so many guests today, how can we have time to walk away?" ”

"It's not in the way, most of the ordinary dishes they have learned, even if I am not there, they can deal with it, it won't delay much business, and if the medicinal diet can be made, it will definitely bring more business. The old man went to talk to the proprietress that she shouldn't mind giving us half a day off. Liu Qi said confidently.

"I don't agree." Li Jiu didn't know when he walked behind Yun Qian.

"Hey, boss, this is a bit unreasonable! How could such a good business opportunity be missed! Liu Qishou was anxious.

Li Jiu stared at Liu Qishou coldly for a long time, and said, "You first serve these existing guests, and then think about those who have or don't." I don't allow this to be false. ”

"I'm afraid the proprietress doesn't think like this in her heart, what you're worried about is that I will take Yun Qian's little brother out to eat. The old man is just a cook, but the proprietress always has doubts, and the old man doesn't want to stay here! Liu Qishou was also a little unhappy.

"No." Lijiu is still cold.

Yun Qian thought about getting along with Liu Qishou during this time, and saw that his emotions were so fake, so he hurriedly said: "Old Liu, of course we know that you are for the good of the restaurant, but today's guests are real..."

"The old man asked you if you were going." Liu Qishou interrupted impatiently, a pair of small eyes stared at Yun Qian, and there was an indescribable taste in it, like anger and disappointment.

The people in the back kitchen all stopped what they were doing at this time, and secretly looked at the three people facing each other curiously. Yun Qian turned his head a little weakly, weighed it in his heart for a while, and said calmly: "Lao Liu, clean up, I'll accompany you." ”

"Not allowed!" There was a little fire in a pair of starry eyes.

Yun Qian gently tugged at the corner of Jiu's sleeve, and said warmly, "It's okay." Lao Liu and I will go back in half a day, promise. ”

Li Jiu was stunned, frowned and said lightly: "If you think about it, go ahead." Stay safe. ”

"Hehe, don't worry, the hostess! The old man came out and brought back Yun Qian's little brother and ingredients intact! Liu Qishou returned to his grinning appearance.

"That's for the best." Li Jiu left the next sentence and turned to leave. The other people in the back kitchen were a little confused, and they didn't know why Lijiu was so angry today.

"Little Brother Yunqian, let's go!" Liu Qishou patted Yun Qian's shoulder with a big hand, triumphant.

Yun Qian's figure flashed rapidly, and he secretly slandered himself for being so miserable, after being bullied by the boss's wife, he was going to be called by this big fat man.
