Chapter 39: Double eyelids
CHAPTER XXXIX
Back in the room, although he knew that everyone was safe, Zhou Ke still carefully observed everyone. Seeing that there is nothing unusual, it is a little strange, this female ghost is lost?
Wang Xi heard Zhou Ke's doubts, and said: "Senior Brother Zhou, my spiritual sense has been following you since you went down just now, and then I felt that there was a spirit coming up quickly, I knew that it was definitely not you, I wanted to escape, so I quickly ran my spiritual sense upstairs, and the other party also kept chasing, and then when I was about to reach the top floor, I felt a relatively large spiritual sense explosion downstairs, and then the other party immediately turned back." β
Ke and Liu Ying were a little surprised next week.
Is this all right?
Gauss didn't know much about this, and interjected: "Bit, they went in the direction of the bluestone bridge." In addition, the bureau has also notified that it will send people over to deal with the aftermath and press public relations. β
Zhou Ke asked, "Who did you talk to?" β
"Director."
"Did you say anything else?"
Gauss was a little strange and said, "Just tell the truth." β
"No, I'm asking if you Director said anything else?"
"That's not true, anyway, as long as I push the head on you, even if I go to play a trick, I won't care." Gauss thought that Zhou Ke was worried that he would be held accountable by the bureau if he quietly brought people out.
Zhou Ke naturally thought differently in his heart, it seemed that the inner courtyard did not want to expand the matter, and it was not to the point where it was necessary to use government power to search for himself and others.
Also, at the end of the night, I was about to become a frightened bird, I barely slept, and my brain was almost dull, which was too sensitive.
The ugliness of the family is not publicized, and there is no explanation for the matter between the master and the Seventh Academy, even if you want to take your own group, you have to characterize the matter, and now it is just an investigation.
Zhou Ke thought quietly on the side.
Wang Xi asked, "Senior Brother Zhou, what happened just now?" β
Zhou Ke briefly went through the matter, and didn't expect the people in the room to help much.
Wang Xi saw that Zhou Ke was a little tired, and asked, "Then what are you going to do now?" β
Zhou Ke thought for a while and said: "Lao Gao, I've worked hard for you, I continued to stare at it, I tossed it all night, I can't support it purely by medicine, Wang Xi, you go down and open another room." β
Gauss hurriedly said: "Don't bother, don't bother, it's time for now, why don't you eat lunch first?" β
The other team members are also polite, and they have cooperated more with the courtyard, and they know how lucky they are to meet this group of living immortals. Sometimes you can invite a teacher from the courtyard to sit at home, even if you don't do anything, you can make the general evil dare not come close from now on. For this matter, there is also a special name, which is called planting flags. It means that this place is covered by Lao Tzu, and they are all honest.
As soon as Zhou Ke heard about lunch, he remembered the greasy rice bowl this morning, waved his hand again and again, and said, "You eat, you eat, eat late in the morning." Wang Xi, when I went down to open the room, I packed lunch back by the way. β
Wang Xi squirmed there and didn't move, with an expression of wanting to speak and stopping.
Liu Ying was already slumped on the bed, staring at the ceiling with blank eyes, not knowing where her thoughts had drifted.
Zhou Ke thought to himself, could it be that Wang Xi was afraid?
When I was about to comfort two sentences, I thought that there were still outsiders present, so I directly hurt the self-esteem of the little junior brother, so I took out a few tickets and ID cards from my pocket, and then made a look of sudden realization and said: "Look at my memory, I was in such a hurry last night, I didn't bring any money, right, take it." β
Wang Xi really has no money! And also! Didn't you say you had no money when you bought breakfast, brother!
I just started working, and my family's living expenses have not been cut off every month! The whole wallet is 400 yuan, and as soon as I heard that I was going to open a room, I couldn't move my steps.
How much does that cost! I have been in a long-distance relationship with my girlfriend in college, how can I have this experience.
Gauss hurriedly said: "Teacher Wang is resting, Xiao Chen, you go and you go, how can you go to buy food." β
The guy who was ordered by Gauss immediately got up, didn't even ask for Zhou Ke's ID card, and got out of the smoke.
Zhou Ke was also polite, and said, "Okay, go back and sit at your house." Later, we will go to rest, and the brothers will be watching. Then he turned his head to Wang Xi and said, "Senior brother, don't be stunned, I will have more time to deal with them in the future, just be familiar with them, nothing to be embarrassed about." β
After speaking, he also went to another bed to lie down, and waited for Xiao Chen to open the room and then go to sleep well.
Wang Xi hadn't experienced the short but high-intensity battle in the elevator, and his energy seemed to be better than that of the two senior brothers. Hearing Zhou Ke's greeting, he nodded obediently and sat at the end of the bed.
He was a little silent, because after the excitement at the beginning, he felt good about himself, and now he suddenly realized that he was really a bit useless, not only could he not help at all, but even from the conversations and behaviors of the senior brothers, he could vaguely feel that he was being regarded as a burden by the senior brothers, intentionally or unintentionally. Whether it is the senior brothers who want to protect themselves out of good intentions, or objectively they have no basis to blame themselves. But it's a bad feeling.
He also wanted to be important, he wanted to be recognized, and now he suddenly felt that he didn't just want to be handsome, but to really do something.
But he couldn't find any way, not even a direction to work towards.
Shouldn't the protagonists in the story all be apprentices and fight monsters to upgrade?
Why is it that when I come here, the life and death of the master are unknown as soon as I come up, and the enemies are all at the level of the dean and director? Not to mention, there is also an inexplicable and foggy conspiracy. The tripartite forces of the courtyard, the underworld, and the witch are intertwined.
What kind of beginner task is this?
Such a protagonist should choose a dean directly, he is simply a miscellaneous soldier!
That's right, maybe he's really a miscellaneous soldier, and the two senior brothers are a small leader. If there is a record in later generations, maybe even the two senior brothers will only be brushed aside in this matter.
"Senior Brother Zhou, I'm not sleepy or hungry, you can teach me something. After teaching, I practiced by myself and didn't bother everyone. I'll ask you any questions when you wake up. Wang Xi said.
Without waiting for Zhou Ke to react, Liu Ying keenly grasped Wang Xi's emotions, and wanted to ask what was going on, but thinking that there were other people in the room, he only said: "Let Lao Zhou rest for a while, and I'll teach you next door." β
Wang Xi let out an honest sigh, sat quietly and waited.
He looked a little lost and pitiful.
He's not pretending to be pitiful, he's really pitiful.
The sadness and loneliness that radiates from the inside out can easily be mistaken for exhaustion after a long night's work.
Wang Xi wants to pretend that the person who is pitiful to her is not here, and the one who is here is the most real Wang Xi now.
Very sad, very pitiful, very unwilling.
Liu Ying has seen this kind of expression, the last time it was the senior brother Wang Bisi, and the last time it was Zhou Ke.
"Wang Xi, let me tell you a story." Liu Ying sighed and said.
"Huh?" Wang Xi turned around, "Senior Brother Liu? β
Liu Ying said: "It's okay, senior brother sees that you are a little depressed, so I will tell you a little story, have fun, and cheer you up." Just listen. β
Although Gauss and the others were staring at the screen, their ears were almost pricked up!
The little fairy in the courtyard tells a story! Long insight, see the world!
Liu Ying looked at this posture and regretted it a little, after all, she was talking about other people's business, even if it had been discussed in advance, but now that there are outsiders present, it is different.
He threw the pillow beside him to Zhou Ke and smashed it on Zhou Ke's chest.
Zhou Ke's face was expressionless, and he didn't even open his eyes: "It's okay." β
Wang Xi looked at Zhou Ke and said, "Senior Brother Zhou, what's wrong?" β
Zhou Ke said: "It's okay, your Senior Brother Liu is asking me if I can tell a story, with Lao Gao present, he can't judge whether it is the secret of the Leak Courtyard." β
Wang Xi said: "It's not asking this, Senior Brother Zhou, your breath was messed up just now, I thought there was something." β
"Oh, it's fine, just a little tired."
From beginning to end, Zhou Ke's eyes were closed.
"He didn't ask you which story, how do you know?" Wang Xi began to make two mistakes.
Liu Ying couldn't stand it, and accentuated her tone: "You still don't listen." β
This little junior brother really responded to the words that poor people must have something hateful.
Wang Xi said shyly: "Senior brother, I was wrong, I have to listen to it." β
"A long, long time ago, uh, not that long, a few years ago, there was a boy who had just graduated from college and was admitted to graduate school. When I was in my first year of graduate school, one day I suddenly noticed that his eyes were swollen. It happened to be a MondayΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Liu Ying began to speak.
Wang Xi interrupted: "Senior Brother Liu, did you find out? Is it Senior Brother Zhou? β
Liu Ying said categorically: "No! Is your Senior Brother Liu's interpersonal relationship limited to him!? Don't interrupt! β
"I didn't see him on the weekend because I was out to see my girlfriend that weekend. It was strange to see him like this when we met on Monday. Don't talk, can't your Senior Brother Liu have a girlfriend!? β
Wang Xi immediately closed his slightly opened mouth, not daring to speak.
So I asked him what was going on, and at first he didn't say anything, but said it was definitely not a fight, so let's not worry. But the elder brother didn't follow, so he had to invite everyone to drink. If you drink too much, you will be able to talk. β
Wang Xi said excitedly: "Ha! And Big Brother! It's Senior Brother Zhou! β
Liu Ying glared at him and continued: "It turns out that on the Thursday of the previous week, Senior Brother Zhou received a call, phew! No, the brother got a call, it was his ex-girlfriend. Ask him if he'd like to have double eyelid surgery. He was a little strange, and after a few conversations, his ex-girlfriend also told him the truth directly. β
"His ex-girlfriend is also a medical student, specializing in ophthalmology. She had just graduated and had few opportunities to operate, so she really wanted to have a double eyelid surgery, but you also know that no matter how good her skills were, her senior doctors would not be able to let her complete an operation on her own. So he told her that if she could get someone to do the double eyelids herself, let her do it herself. β
So, she found him.
"He left for the field on Friday, had surgery on the same day, recuperated for two days, and returned to school alone."
After Liu Ying finished speaking, there was something unpleasant in her heart. In the past, every time the brothers and sisters talked about this matter at a gathering, everyone laughed, and even Lao Zhou would laugh at himself for being young and ignorant.
But today's story sounds inexplicably sad.
Gauss and these people are all human spirits, and they have already understood this story, and they dare not come out. If you know that this is such a story, it's better not to listen to it, curiosity kills the cat! The room is so big, can you still pretend you didn't hear it? Where is the Lord lying?
The room was unusually quiet.
Wang Xi lowered his head and did not speak. This time, he grasped the central idea of the story, but he didn't understand why Senior Brother Liu was telling this story. And he also said that this story can be listened to as fun and cheered himself up.
But I don't think it's funny at all.
And if you laugh, you will be beaten by Senior Brother Zhou, right?
When the story is finished, what should I, the person listening to the story, react to?
"Senior Brother Liu, maybe I'm stupid, I don't think it's funny. On the contrary, I felt very uncomfortable in my heart. I think he's pitiful. Wang Xi said.
Liu Ying also feels this way, and when she tells this story today, it is very different from before.
Looking at Wang Xi's wilting appearance, Liu Ying thought to herself, it's over, this comfort has the opposite effect.
