Huang Yiwen took out a tissue, wiped the table, squinted at Shi Ming, and said, "Come on, you, if you are more handsome, why don't female classmates talk to you?" Friends, recognize the reality! ”

"Well, I'm speechless!"

Shi Ming looked at the indifferent Xiao Mozhu, and said with a smile: "Dude, you have meat to eat, but don't forget that we are still empty bowls, I think the rest of the girls are very good, and they will introduce them to us if they have the opportunity."

After taking a sip of the clear soup brought by the boss, Xiao Mozhu said: "I don't think there is that opportunity, I wanted to refuse just now."

"Why is that? Fortunately, I pushed you, otherwise I was really rejected by this guy of you, and other girls should not be sad? Shi Ming asked indignantly.

"Why, you ask?" Xiao Mozhu naturally wouldn't tell them the truth, and after thinking about it, he said, "I probably don't want to be involved with them, right?" ”

"Do you already have a girlfriend?"

"No, I just don't want to."

Shi Ming slapped his forehead, he didn't understand what this guy with a little head was thinking, and he couldn't make sense, so he could only give up persuasion helplessly.

The sun was strong and the temperature was very high, and the 34-degree heat was unbearable.

However, in the face of "idleness", these are nothing.

The fan "crunched" and shook their heads, blowing "whining", Shi Ming and Huang Yiwen, who returned to the dormitory, turned on their electronic devices and prepared to struggle for an afternoon.

The dormitory was affected by the ventilated corridor in the dormitory building, which was much cooler than outside, but Xiao Mozhu didn't seem to plan to stay longer, put down the book and sat for a while, then stood up with his mobile phone, walked to the door, and said, "I'll go out for a while."

Shi Ming, who was staring at the screen, said "oh", and then heard the sound of the bedroom door opening and closing, Xiao Mozhu had already walked out, and the bedroom was quiet again except for the slight music sound from the computer.

"Aren't you going to go and see?" Huang Yiwen suddenly asked without a head, but it didn't look like he was on the phone.

Three seconds later, Shi Ming turned his head and asked in surprise, "Are you talking about me?" Why should I follow? ”

Huang Yiwen smiled slyly and said, "Because he may go out and hook up with his sister."

"Huh? This one! Shi Ming suddenly opened his mouth and stood up excitedly, but he looked outside through the floor-to-ceiling window in shock, and immediately sat down again, and said dejectedly, "Forget it, the sun is shining so hot outside!" ”

Huang Yiwen had to obey Shi Ming's decisiveness, and as soon as these two sentences came out, Huang Yiwen almost choked on his own saliva! Four applauses are the best tribute to Shi Ming.

It's really hot outside, and in a high-density area like the center of Rongzhou, it's a little more stuffy, and the few cicadas are even more upsetting.

"Where's the place, oh, oh, okay, I'll come over in a moment."

Of course, Xiao Mozhu didn't go to hook up with his sister, after making a phone call, he seemed to know an address, looked around, and walked straight out of the school gate.

The target address is not far from the Economic Management Institute, and the Huangsha Station is about a kilometer to the north, but the streets and alleys are bends and turns, and it is not easy to find.

You Humpback is a man in his fifties, as others jokingly call him, he is a hunchback, who runs a small dry grocery store in the city, located east of the ancient ruins of Huangsha and north of Huangsha Station.

Of course, this is only known to ordinary people, this "You Hunchback Dry Miscellaneous" also has a special appearance, Xi's other store, the name of the store only known to those who understand.

On the first day of September, just after noon, You Humpback received a phone call, and the other party on the phone was a young man's voice, saying that he had learned about You Humpback's miscellaneous work from elsewhere and was going to come over in the afternoon.

The business of the dry grocery store is ordinary, and it is normal to receive an order call from an acquaintance, but this call makes You Hunchback feel a little strange, he has received a lot of calls from people who can report the name of "Xi's other store", but it is the first time that he is so young.

After two o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Mozhu ran through the streets and alleys in the center of Rongzhou for more than an hour, and finally found the small shop he asked on the phone at the end of a certain street.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead and shaking his short-sleeved shirt again, Xiao Mozhu breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the dry grocery store.

The square signboard is hung on the top of the roller shutter door frame, with five regular characters on it, and a phone number is left in the lower right corner, which looks very simple and normal.

In the lower left corner of the signboard, there is a small "Xi" character with a right oblique 45 degrees, black, ugly, and obviously a handwritten font, people who don't know think that it was painted by a naughty child, in fact, this unique mark is the proof of "Xi's other store".

There is no need to guard against other people's piracy, because there are very few people who know it, not to mention that the shops with the special mark of "Xi's Other Stores" are all small shops that are not in the eyes of people.

Xiao Mozhu stood outside the grocery store, looked up at the awkward word "Xi", and couldn't help laughing, there are still people who write uglier than the old man.

A large number of dry goods were placed in front of the store, leaving only a narrow passage, and tobacco, alcohol, and drinks were also available in the store.

On a wooden cash register table surrounded by goods, a middle-aged man was dozing off with his head in his hands.

Knock knock! Knuckles tapped cardboard, making a clear sound in the quiet grocery store.

You hunched his head shook and almost hit the table, waking up in a thrill.

Raising his head, You Hunchback saw a young man standing at the door, stretched his waist, and stood up.

"Boss You, I just called." Xiao Mozhu said.

In You Hunchback's view, Xiao Mozhu was just a young ghost, maybe still a student at school, so he asked, "Who told you that I am here?"

Xiao Mozhu walked in through the narrow passage between the cardboard boxes and replied, "My name is Xiao Mozhu, and now I am just a student, and this 'Xi's Restaurant' was told to me by Xiao Xiao in the north of the city."

"Chengbei? Shaw? Oh, that's right! So, what's the point? You Hunchback picked up the feather duster and asked as he swept up the dust.

Although the inside of the store is much more spacious than the door, there are no other stools and chairs except for the special seat with You Humpback, Xiao Mozhu wanted to sit down but couldn't, so he had to continue to stand and said: "Some time ago, there was a flower demon on the other side around here, right?" Has anyone solved it? ”

"The other side of the flower? Oh, that's the name of other places, you mean the Lethe Flower Demon, no, no, that thing is elusive, it's not very good, it's just not easy to find out, and there are already a few ordinary people who have been victimized. You Hunchback was surprised that this young man actually knew about this, but he still answered honestly.

"That's not easy, I just ran into it last night, but I didn't succeed, I don't know where it's going to hide." Xiao Mozhu said with a sigh.

"Huh? Did you run into it? You hunchback smiled and said, "Boy, I advise you, the confusion of the Lethe River Flower Demon is fatal, and luck is not the capital of your self-confidence, besides, if you are haunted by the demonic spirit of the Lethe River Flower Demon, you will eventually be sent to Huangquan by it again!" Of course, I'm talking about the case where you're not strong enough. ”

"If you have been attacked by its demonic energy, it is better to find someone surnamed Xiao to help you think of a way." You hunchback said so.

Xiao Mozhu didn't intend to argue with You Hunchback, and besides, it was someone else's kindness, so after nodding, he asked, "So, do you have anything here that can help resist the confusion of the Flower of the Other Side, that is, the Lethe Flower Demon?"

You Hunchback took a step back, looked at Xiao Mozhu carefully, and said, "Yes!" But I'm afraid you can't afford to be a poor student. ”

"Take it out and take a look?" Xiao Mozhu was not frightened, but wanted to see such a treasure, and asked without hesitation.

You Hunchback didn't say a word, turned around and walked into the inner room of the shop, and a minute later, took out a wooden box the size of a fist.

Handing the wooden box to Xiao Mozhu, You hunchbacked and said: "Look, this is called Ganlin Crystal, wearing it can refresh your mind, and it has a certain effect on resisting the confusion of the Lethe Flower Demon."

Gently opening the box, a translucent stone the size of a fingernail and a light green body entered Xiao Mozhu's sight.

Slowly pinching this "precious" stone, Xiao Mozhu really felt a coolness coming down his fingers, a subtle touch that was cool but not cold.

Although the "Ganlin Crystal" was very small, its effect made Xiao Mozhu satisfied, nodded and covered the wooden box, and asked You Humpback, "How much?" Let's just talk about the price. ”

Watching Xiao Mozhu take the wooden box, open the wooden box, and then appreciate the spar, You Hunchback could feel that the kid in front of him really wanted this Ganlin spar, and after being asked about the price, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Okay, since you can afford this stone, I will also give you the lowest price, six hundred!" No bargaining is accepted! ”

"Huh!"

Xiao Mozhu smiled and said, "I thought it was really sky-high, and I was worried that I couldn't afford it, but it seems that Boss You, you really gave me a preferential price."

took out his wallet, Xiao Mozhu did not hesitate to count six new bills worth 100 yuan in person and handed them to You Hunback.

"Hahaha! You're a bold kid. You Hunchback quickly looked at the money one by one, raised his hand, and said with a laugh.

Putting away the wallet and the wooden box, Xiao Mozhu's trouser pockets on both sides were bulging, and after feeling unsightly, he took the wooden box in his hand again, and then said to You Hunchback again: "The wallet is also deflated, it feels like an extra expense, I should go back too!" In this way, I left the phone number, as a 'transfer station' Xi's store, remember to send a text message to tell me if I have a commission! Well, there's a record of the call just now. ”

Although he didn't think that this young man had any ability, You Hunchback didn't want to twist and pinch, and said with a smile: "If you want to do it, but let's write the phone number by hand, mobile phone, I can't play around."
