Old man Xiao looked at me mysteriously: "Before going to Jiang's house, we have to go to get a baby." It's also his assessment of you! After all, looking for such a thing as the water elixir is not just a matter of finding someone casually, your master is now old, and the people of the Jiang family will not easily believe in your ability, so let's go and get that treasure and give it to Lao Jiang as a meeting gift! After all, you can't do it without real skills. ”

When I heard this, I hurriedly asked, "This... It's normal that I haven't dealt with it before, and I don't believe in my ability. So what kind of treasure are we going to pick up as a meeting gift? ”

Old man Xiao waved his hand: "Boy, don't be in a hurry. Let's sit with the old man more! Wait a minute, I'll ask Ah Hong to arrange a place for you to live, and then you can go and get some sleep. I'll take you to visit the ghost market in old Changsha tomorrow night! By the way, buy some things to pick up the baby. After that, he poured me a cup of tea.

"Is that the one you are talking about is Sister Hong, the proprietress of this teahouse?" I drank the tea and then looked at Old Man Xiao and asked.

"Sister Hong? You kid call her Sister Hong? Hahahaha, it's almost the same as your name Grandma Hong. Old man Xiao laughed and replied to my words.

"What? Red Grandma? I think she's only a dozen years older than me at most, how can I call her grandma? You're not kidding! I asked Old Man Xiao puzzled.

"Hahahaha! Actually, she is about the same age as me, but because I gave her a few anti-beauty pills back then, she only looks like she is about forty. You kid actually called someone else's sister... Hahahaha, I'm laughing to death. Old man Xiao clutched his stomach and laughed.

"Ugh! I said Lao Xiao! Is it that funny? I looked at the old man Xiao who was laughing angrily.

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore. Come, let's have tea. Old man Xiao still held back a smile and picked up the teacup.

I took out my phone and saw that it was already four o'clock in the morning, and it was gradually getting brighter outside. I stood up and looked at Old Man Xiao: "Old Xiao! It's already four o'clock, although I slept all the way in the car just now, but I'm really sleepy now, you can quickly arrange a place for me to rest! Didn't you say you were going to take me to visit the ghost market in old Changsha? How can I go without resting? ”

Old man Xiao nodded, and then pressed the button on the table. It didn't take long for Sister Hong to gently push open the door and ask with a smile, "Mr. Xiao, how is it?" Old man Xiao pretended to be serious and glared at her: "Ah Hong, don't ask if you shouldn't ask, hurry up and arrange a place for my little brother to live." ”

Sister Hong looked at me, then turned and walked out of the room. Old man Xiao pretended to be angry and said, "Look at it! Look! What an attitude! As the old saying goes, if a woman doesn't fight for three days, she will go to the house to uncover the tiles. ”

I handed over a cigarette and said with a smile, "Okay! All right! Comrade Xiao, don't be angry, be careful of breaking the old bones! Hey! By the way, what do you have to do with her? ”

Lao Xiao lit a cigarette and looked at me: "What does it matter?" It's okay! The two of us are absolutely innocent, boy, let me tell you, don't guess! I looked at Old Man Xiao's embarrassed appearance trying his best to hide, and couldn't help laughing: "Mmmm, I know!" You two are innocent. Hahahaha! ”

At this time, Sister Hong pushed open the door and walked in: "The room is arranged, Mr. Xiao, do you want to go over and have a look?" Old man Xiao stretched out his hand and pointed at me: "You can take him over to have a look!" Anyway, I can't stay for a few days. All right! I'm going back to rest, old man, so clean up here! ”

Sister Hong nodded, so she picked up the walkie-talkie and called the waitress at the front desk: "Xiaoli, clean up here!" Then take the gentleman to the room. I'll send Mr. Xiao off. ”

Old man Xiao smiled and patted me on the shoulder: "Boy, hurry up and go back and get a good night's sleep, let's see you at night!" It's dawn, and it's time for me to go back. I nodded: "Uh-huh, okay, see you in the evening!" ”

Sister Hong accompanied Old Man Xiao out of the door of the room with a smile and a smile, while I stood at the door and waited for the waiter Xiaoli to clean up the tea set on the table, and then took me back to the room to rest.

I walked in the back with a heavy backpack, and the waitress Xiaoli walked in front with the key. I took the opportunity to catch up with her and asked with a smile, "Your name is Xiaoli?" What is the relationship between your boss Sister Hong and Old Man Xiao? ”

Xiaoli shook her head: "I don't know what their relationship is, I only know that Mr. Xiao will come over for tea every night." The two of them looked very close. I suddenly realized: "Could it be that Old Man Xiao has taken a fancy to your boss?" ”

Xiaoli looked at me, then shook her head and said, "I don't know about this, I just came here not long ago." I asked her again, "Are you from Changsha?" "I'm from Anhui, I was deceived when I was looking for a job some time ago, and I was penniless on the streets. It was the proprietress who brought me back here to work, and I was in charge of food and housing, as well as salary. ”

"Because the boss lady helped you, why don't you just stay here and work?" I asked as I walked.

"It's not all, it's mainly that there's so much food here. I was reluctant to go. Besides, the proprietress is so kind to me, I won't leave. Xiaoli stopped at the door of a room, then picked up the key and opened the door: "Sir, the room has been cleaned up." You can rest here first! What is needed! Just come to the front desk and talk to me. By the way, this is the key to the door, you can take it! I won't disturb your rest, bye-bye! ”

I smiled slightly: "Uh-huh! Thanks, Lily. You go get busy first! I'm ready to wash up and go to bed. ”

Xiaoli showed a sweet smile: "You're welcome! Then sir, rest early! I'll go first. With that, he turned around and left.

I pushed open the door, and a faint scent of sandalwood came to my face. Only then did I realize that there was an antique copper incense burner on the windowsill of the room, and the scent of sandalwood that I had just smelled emanated from it.

I put down my backpack and took a simple shower, then lay down on the bed and looked at the messages on my phone. Since the scent of sandalwood has a relaxing and calming effect. It relieves mental tension, creates a peaceful atmosphere, increases a sense of fulfillment, and relaxes the whole body. So I sniffed the faint scent of sandalwood and quickly fell asleep.

Although I had slept all the way in the car when I came before, at this time, under the influence of the scent of sandalwood, the sleepy insects suddenly came up again.
