Chapter 8: Mu Lao's Request
The moonlight is bright and clear, and time flies.
A night of meditation did not bring much change to Li Siwen, and the meridians were only dredged by less than one percent, but it was a good start.
"This old man's spicy hot is still a little useful!"
Li Siwen stood up and moved his body, after all, he was not a cultivator now, and after a night of cross-legging, his knees had long been unbearable, and his legs were also very sore.
Although the diet therapy is helpful for Li Siwen to dredge the meridians, it cannot increase his spiritual power, so that his spells have no possibility of being used at all, although the current earth is very safe, and it will not be as full of gods and Buddhas as the world he was in before, and he will die if he is not careful, but Li Siwen knows that he can't be so comfortable forever.
He needed a more powerful spiritual replenishment, especially on this earth where spiritual power was thin.
Although Li Siwen doesn't know how to replenish his spiritual power through those methods, he is not in a hurry, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, as long as he lives, he will always know.
Taking a deep breath, Li Siwen opened the door and let the sunlight outside the window shine on his body, the morning sun can always make his mood calm.
"Huh?"
What surprised Li Siwen was that there was no one in the small courtyard that was supposed to be busy today, and the sound of square dancing that should have been nearby did not sound on time, which is a bit abnormal, right?
"Morning, sir!"
An abrupt voice came from Li Siwen's side, if Li Siwen's nerves weren't big enough, he would definitely be startled by this guy.
Glancing at the old man who spoke, Li Siwen yawned: "I said why did the sun come out of the west today, it turned out to be a ghost from you, come early in the morning, look for me?" ”
For Li Siwen's knowingly question, the old man was not half stunned, but said respectfully: "Sir, I'm sorry to come to visit me so early, it's really an old man who has something to ask for." ”
Li Siwen glanced at the old man in front of him, dressed plainly and unpretentiously, except for Zhu Ziming, he didn't see his subordinates around, and the respectful look on his face made him very useful.
"With your financial status, I don't think there's anything I can do to help you if I live in this slum, right?"
Li Siwen said in a slightly joking tone, if they hadn't met yesterday and met his little brother around here in the evening, this old man wouldn't have found this place today, right?
This old man is the president of Huanyu International, who gave Li Siwen a business card yesterday, Mu Lao.
Interestingly, he was asked to visit last night, and early this morning, he came to the door in person!
"You're smiling."
Mu Lao took out a key from the pocket of his clothes, held it in both hands and handed it to Li Siwen and said, "This is a villa in the northern suburbs of the city, it has just been renovated, and it is just for you." ”
The northern suburbs of the city?
Isn't that the area where Ann Evan's best friend Lily's house is located?
"Don't mind," Li Siwen pushed away Mu Lao's wrinkled hand: "It's useless, besides, it's good for me to live in this place, there is no need to live in any villa." ”
Seeing that Li Siwen refused to accept it, Mu Lao's expression was a little embarrassed: "Then, what can I do for you, so that you are willing to help me?" ”
Li Siwen is not a person who beats around the bush, he glanced at this sincere old man, put away his joke and said: "First of all, we are not very familiar with each other, how can you be sure that I can help you?" Secondly, why should I help you, or rather, do you have anything that interests me? ”
Hearing Li Siwen's conditions, Mu Lao's expression softened a little, although he asked Zhu Ziming to investigate the background of this Li Siwen, but he still didn't know enough about this person, now that he can open a showdown like this, it can be regarded as having the possibility of helping him, as long as it is an exchange of interests, then there will be talks.
"Mr. Li, although we don't know each other, but the moment I saw you yesterday, I knew that you were extraordinary, and you were definitely not an ordinary person."
Mu Lao didn't pause, just glanced at Li Siwen, whose expression changed slightly, and then said: "Although this matter may be difficult for others, you will definitely be able to deal with it, as long as you agree, you will open the conditions, as long as the old man can do it, he will never refuse!" ”
"Mu Lao, you ......"
Zhu Ziming, who was on the side, glanced at Mu Lao and wanted to say something, but was pressed down by Mu Lao's raised hand.
This old man is kind of funny.
Li Siwen secretly thought in his heart and said, "This matter has something to do with your granddaughter?" ”
Mu Lao's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Li Siwen, and said calmly: "Mr. Yingming, it was the old man's granddaughter who had an accident, so I came to trouble you, I hope you can take action and help the old man rescue Yuan'er." ”
Although it was just a photo yesterday, this old man Mu also left a little impression on him, and by the way, he remembered that this old guy mentioned his granddaughter or something.
Of course, this impression is not because of this Mu Lao's identity.
"Yuan'er?"
Mu Lao's words shocked Li Siwen, he knew very well that this Yuan'er was definitely not the Yuan'er he knew, but after being reborn, hearing these two words, he couldn't help but tremble.
"Yes, but ......"
Li Siwen's promise made Mu Lao's face soften a lot, but the next conditions made Mu Lao's face look embarrassed: "I need something from you." ”
"Isn't the villa enough for you? You ......"
Zhu Ziming wanted to be mad on the side, but he was afraid of the soul deterrent power that Li Siwen gave him yesterday, but fortunately, Mu Lao stopped the rest of his words in time.
"I'm all old bones," Mu Lao looked at Li Siwen: "Sir, you want something old, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Old Mu's words made Li Siwen feel too bad in his heart, it seems that this old man really cares about his granddaughter.
"Don't worry, I don't want your arms and legs, as long as you have a jade talisman on your body!"
Li Siwen said it lightly, but when he heard it, Zhu Ziming's face changed greatly, and even Mu Lao's face changed several times before he finally stabilized.
"Sir, do you mean that?"
Mu Lao took out a piece of jade with several cracks from his neck, and the originally smooth jade talisman was a little gloomy at the moment.
Looking at the jade talisman in Mu Lao's hand, Li Siwen's eyes lit up for a moment, but he hid it very well, and he didn't let Mu Lao and Zhu Ziming see it.
"Hmm."
Li Siwen nodded, he was not a fool, he could see the importance of this jade talisman to him from the change in Mu Lao's expression.
"Sir, this jade talisman is of great significance to Mu Lao, you can see if you can exchange it for something else, if you like jade, I can take you to the jade shop to buy it."
Zhu Ziming knew the importance of this jade talisman to Mu Lao, and regardless of Mu Lao's eyes, he opened his mouth to stop him.
"Now that the owner is talking, do the dogs like to interject?"
Li Siwen glanced at Zhu Ziming with dissatisfaction, and said with a displeased expression: "I didn't stay at the door of other people's houses early in the morning, if you don't want to, pull it down, don't hinder me from having breakfast." ”
As he spoke, Li Siwen turned his head and walked noisily to the mouth of the alley, where there was a hot dry noodle, which tasted very good, and was one of his favorite breakfasts.
"Sir, stop!"
