November 15th.

Shuhan Province, Litai City, Liangcheng County.

It is a small city out of touch with the times.

Newly built high-rise buildings and old brick houses are intertwined, and walking on the road seems to have traveled through two centuries, giving people a sense of time and space.

Yi Rin, Li Erpang, Su Xiaosu, and Wang Tiandi walked on the road.

It attracted a lot of attention.

After all, this combination has a very high return rate.

Let's not talk about a dog with snow-white hair and a coquettish expression from time to time.

Just Li Erpang and Su Xiaosu, a couple with strong contrasts, are enough to attract attention.

Irin hurried away in frustration.

Unexpectedly, in the end, he didn't get rid of this troublesome guy, and let the little fat man stick up.

Li Erpang looked at the situation of the small city curiously, and while walking, he finally couldn't help asking: "Anyway, what are you doing in this kind of small city?" ”

"Travel."

Yi Rin said.

"Tourism?" Li Erpang tried to widen his eyes.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out.

"Or else?"

"I really believe you are a ghost."

"Believe it or not."

Irin's lazy bickering with the little fat man.

Su Xiaosu carried a heavy bag on his back and silently followed behind Yi Rin and Li Erfat.

Yi Rin also casually asked on the road why Su Xiaosu had to carry his luggage behind him.

Su Xiaosu's reason is very simple.

Some bags that exceed the "threshold" cannot be stuffed into the storage space.

Besides, this weight is not comparable to the weight she carries when she exercises on weekdays, so it doesn't matter.

"Actually,"

Yi Rin suddenly squinted his eyes, smiled slightly, and said to the couple: "A small city is as good as a small city, with beautiful scenery, fresh air, simple folk customs, and a suitable rhythm of life, this is a good place for tourism and honeymoon." ”

When Su Xiaosu heard this, his eyes lit up and he nodded.

Sounds reasonable!

After all, they grew up in a big city, and the scenery of the small city is a novel experience for both the little fat man and Su Xiaosu.

Well, people have to find a way to find something new.

Otherwise, what's the difference with salted fish?

Li Erpang pursed his lips and was noncommittal about this.

Where Irin goes, he doesn't care.

As long as you can escape from Huating City and delay the marriage as much as possible, you will have achieved the goal of being a little fat man.

Hmph.

For the sake of dreams, the fat man can do whatever it takes to endure your burden!

One word: forbearance!

Daddy, you underestimate your son's determination too much!

"So." Seeing that the two of them didn't have any opinions, Irin continued, "For the next period of time, we'll go our separate ways. ”

Li Erpang listened.

Wrong.

Is this clearly trying to find a reason to get rid of them?

Naive.

No way!

The little fat man smiled coldly: "What about life? ”

"What kind of work?"

"The work of the special group! Lao Zhao said, I came out with you to do something. ”

Yi Rin was speechless: "What did the person surnamed Zhao tell you?" ”

"Ahem, if you want to practice, it's always right to follow that kid from Irin, he's unlucky anyway, and he can run into trouble wherever he goes. That's what he said. ”

Irin: "......, get out." ”

Li Erpang: "? ”

I don't know if the little fat man really wants to live a little bit, or if he is simply trying to escape from marriage, he seems to be determined to follow with a dead face. No matter what reason Yi Rin used, Li Erpang refused to leave.

Irin can't help it.

He could only quietly send a private chat to Su Xiaosu.

Su Xiaosu instantly understood.

Without saying a word, she grabbed the little fat man by the collar and dragged him away.

"! Young man, you are unreasonable! Say yes and advance and retreat together! Can we still be good friends? ”

Yi Rin suddenly remembered the movement in Li Changge's villa, hesitated for a moment, and decided to kindly remind: "Here, you take it easy." ”

Su Xiaosu: "? ”

Li Erpang: "??? ”

Irin: "Ordinary places can't stand your toss. ”

Li Erpang was stunned when he heard this, and instantly became angry: "I'll toss your sister!" ”

Su Xiaosu's face turned red, and she said in a sweet voice, "Okay." ”

Ahh

Wait a minute.

I, I, the fat man, I haven't promised yet!

"No—"

Li Erpang was dragged away by Su Xiaosu, and Li Erpang's wail was heard from afar.

For some reason, Li Erpang's last poignant voice always made a strange BGM echo in Yi Rin's head.

Snow is falling and falling.

After shaking his head and shaking off the happy little fat man, Irin's freedom was finally free and he could start to go about his own business.

He remembers the list Molly had put together for him.

Irin left the capital this time, and in summary, there were only two purposes.

Confirm the past of these people listed on the "list" and witness their past.

There are even future Eight Shadows among them.

Of course, the future Eight Shadows have gone to two, and there are six people left.

He wants to use his own eyes to confirm whether there is something wrong with the world.

As for the second purpose, it is more explicit.

Yi Rin can now distinguish the mysterious "grievance" with the "naked eye", no matter how big or small, no matter the quality is good or bad, it can become the ration for the [resentment] upgrade, and it is not taboo to be cold.

At the very least, fill up the current progress bar and see if there are any new changes.

The mystery of [resentment] is beyond Rin's imagination.

There may be surprises.

An hour later.

Irin's arrival in the center of Liangcheng County.

During this period, Li Erpang kept complaining one after another, in order to keep his ears clean and his chest no longer vibrating, Yi Rin decisively set it to "Do Not Disturb Mode", so that the little fat man could communicate with Sister Su with peace of mind.

Mayor Li didn't say anything, let him take good care of his son and daughter-in-law. Irin is very witty, and the two of them get along alone and take care of them clearly.

Some buildings in Liangcheng County are still in a state of stalemate that cannot be demolished.

In those real estates, the wall paint is peeling, faintly revealing the vicissitudes of life.

It is somewhat similar to Yiwu County, where Ling Yiyi grew up, and there are four-wheeled cars jumping around.

"Choosing to take root in this kind of city, it really looks like his style."

After the night of the starfall, there is no such thing as satellite navigation in the world.

However, there are electronic maps.

Yi Rin quickly downloaded an up-to-date map of Liangcheng Prefecture, and then followed the address and quietly came to a building.

There is a row of old shops.

Clothing, street stalls, snack shops, jewelry, you name it.

Occasionally, men and women dressed in various autumn clothes hang their necks in the autumn wind, wandering around this street.

After the development of online shopping, the business of physical stores is not easy to do.

But there is always a small group of people who occasionally come out to enjoy the thrill of on-site shopping, after all, it feels different.

In front of Irin is a hot pot restaurant with a cold business.

The name is "Hot Pot Dog Male".

The moment Emperor Wang Tian saw the word "dog", he squinted his eyes and exuded a trace of murderous intent.

- Very unpleasant.

Is the dog spicy and cute, is it used to make hot pot?

It's obviously used to protect, love, and hug, okay?

Although the dog didn't say anything, it seemed to use such a body expression language to exude silent protest.

Yi Rin kicked Emperor Wang with an expressionless face.

Signal it to pretend to be more like a dog, and don't show its legs.

A man and a dog took a few steps closer, and a strong smell of chili peppers, mixed with all kinds of messy spices, came to their faces.

There were no guests in the shop, not a single guest.

In the dim light, from time to time, a few flies fluttered their wings, buzzing, and very chattering.

Next to the door, a job posting is posted.

"Recruitment?"

Irin thought about it, tore off the job posting, and walked into the store.

A greasy, curly-haired uncle dozing off on one of the tables.

Several flies hovered above his skull.

As Irin walked into the store, Uncle Curly looked up sharply and looked at Irin with sleepy eyes, crow's feet like a knife cut out of the corner of his eye.

"It's-"

Irin had just had time to say a word.

Uncle Curly Bounced Suddenly.

He hurriedly squeezed out a smiling face, revealing two neat rows of big yellow teeth.

"Hey, hey, this little brother, eat hot pot? In our store, spicy hot pot is a signboard, a classic craft that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the secret recipe will never be passed on. ”

Seeing that it was rare for a guest to come to the door, the yellow tooth curly hair said a string of lines that seemed to have been rehearsed thousands of times, and the speed of speech was extremely fast.

"I ......"

Yellowfang Curly looked down to see a sneering dog at Irin's feet.

Although he was a little puzzled, why the dog's expression was so expressive, and the flickering dog's eyes were a little disdainful...... But he didn't care too much, and hurriedly added: "Don't worry, our store, there are no rules that pets are not allowed to enter, come here, go to the elegant seat!" Ahh......h Wait a minute! ”

Seeing that the yellow tooth curly hair seemed to be really ready to go into the back room and give Emperor Wang Tian a private seat, Yi Rin hurriedly said, "I'm here to apply." ”

"Apply?"

"Well, apply."

Irin said as he lit up the job posting that he had just torn off.

The yellow tooth curly hair looked at the broken paper that was crumpled into a lump and spread out again, and his eyes widened.

"? What do you tear off? ”

"Aren't you just hiring one?"

Yellow Fang Curly Hair couldn't cry or laugh: "But I haven't agreed to recruit you yet." ”

"You're not too demanding."

"But Lao Tzu looks at his face."

"So I should be able to." Irin pointed to his face.

"......" Yellow Fang Curly was silent for a moment, looked Irin up and down, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, and said slowly: "Listen to your accent, it's not like a local." ”

"The boss has a good eye." Irin silently slapped a sycophant.

"That has to be. In the food industry, the first thing you learn is to look at words, hehehe. Huangya curly fur paused for a moment, and said: "6000 a month, including food or not, if you wrap up, 1500 will be deducted every month, overtime is not paid, there is no five insurances and one housing fund, and the salary is paid monthly, or the next month." I have the final say in the working hours every day, and when the boss needs you, work overtime unconditionally, and no complaints. ”

Irin's stunned.

Pointing to the job posting: "But doesn't it say 7,000 a month?" ”

Yellow Fang Curly smiled coldly: "In the lower right corner, you take a closer look." ”

When Irin heard this, he hurriedly smoothed out the crumpled job posting.

Really.

In the lower right corner is a line of tiny words, so small that it is almost imperceptible.

——[The final interpretation right belongs to Master Ma.] 】

"Got it?"

"IMHO."

"Huh?"

"No wonder your business here looks ......"

"It's my business, love to do it or not."

"Who is this horse master?"

"Far away, close in front of you, hehe." Yellow Fang curly took out a cigarette, and when he saw Irin ask this question, his eyes softened a lot, swallowing clouds and spitting out mist, pointing to his face.

"Master Ma?"

"The surname is Ma, the name is the master. Questions? ”

"Hello Boss Ma."

"No, I haven't promised to hire you yet." Boss Ma was smoking a cheap cigarette, and the hazy smoke buried him.

In the smoke, Boss Ma stared at Yi Rin and smiled: "Tell me why you came to the door first?" You don't seem to be so downtrodden as to come to such a small place from a big city to work in such a broken hot pot restaurant. ”

That's all he said.

Emperor Wang Tiandi silently flicked the dog's tail.

As if it didn't say a word, it would pounce on it and smash the hateful big yellow tooth with one claw.

The atmosphere suddenly froze.
