The next morning, the strong sunlight shone in through the window and shone on Qi Lu's face, Qi Lu frowned, turned over on the bed and wanted to go back to sleep, but he immediately stretched his waist, and then lifted the quilt and crawled up

Last night, he was thinking about Ye Xuanzhi in bed, and he didn't sleep for an hour in a daze until the early hours of the morning, and there were a lot of things to deal with at the moment, but it was not the time to be lazy

Qi Lu stretched out his hands and jumped off the bed with a light leap, just landing on the door, he thought that as soon as his feet landed, the door opened, Qi Lu "plopped" and fell to the ground on all fours

"Ah" A crisp exclamation came from outside the door, Qi Lu was startled, didn't care about the pain in his buttocks, turned over and crawled up, and saw Ding Xiaolan standing by the door, her face was crimson, and she turned her head not to look into the house

Qi Lu realized that he was only wearing a pair of underwear, so he quickly grabbed the trousers from the wooden chair next to the bed and put them on his legs in a panic

"I said, can you knock on the door before you come in," Qi Lu was also a little embarrassed, the embarrassment of wrestling just now must have been clearly seen by Ding Xiaolan, maybe she was snickering at herself in her heart

"It's past nine o'clock, who knows you haven't gotten up yet," Ding Xiaolan replied to him unceremoniously, and then asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

"It's nothing, what's the point, if you fall," Qi Lu had already put on his pants and was putting on his shirt as he spoke

"Come over and have breakfast after freshening up," Ding Xiaolan said as she walked over to him, "What do you have on your chest?"

"Magic weapon" Qi Lu hurriedly stuffed the pendant into his shirt, for fear that Ding Xiaolan would take a second look

"Yo, you're still a treasure, isn't it just a cross" Ding Xiaolan, who was about to continue joking, suddenly asked him with a calm face: "Don't you tell me that you still know those exorcisms in the West"

"This is not a cross" Qi Lu said impatiently: "Forget it, I can't tell you clearly for a while" He walked into the bathroom in three steps and rinsed his mouth and brushed his teeth

When he finished freshening up and walked out of the bathroom, he saw Ding Xiaolan setting breakfast on the dining table, and then he realized that his stomach was rumbling with hunger

"This morning I went to the crematorium to see Su Ling off for the last time"

"Ah" Qi Lu, who was gobbling up, suddenly put down the dishes and chopsticks, he suddenly realized that today was the third day of Su Ling's death, and he actually forgot such an important thing

"Alas, I'm really rude," Qi Lu couldn't forgive himself a little, no wonder Ding Xiaolan came back and went directly into his room, it turned out to be for this

"You don't have to be embarrassed, I have already told Mr. Pei that you have something important to do today, and if you can't come, let me send Su Ling for you."

"Hehe, you're getting smarter and smarter," Qi Lu was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked Ding Xiaolan again: "Isn't Pei Liping hospitalized?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just that he was in a coma for half an hour, and yesterday he took a few bottles of hanging needles in the hospital, and it was fine," Ding Xiaolan said again: "At noon, Mr. Pei was serving wine at the Jinjiang Hotel, and he asked me to inform you that you must come to the hall."

"I'll talk about it then," Qi Lu was a little embarrassed to go to the dinner because he missed Su Ling's funeral

After eating, Ding Xiaolan invited Qi Lu to go out with her, Qi Lu thought to herself that Lao Wu hadn't come anyway, why bother to make himself so tired, so he put on his coat and went out for a walk with Ding Xiaolan

As soon as he came to the community, the sharp-eyed Qi Lu saw Pei Liping's car drive in, and he hurriedly hinted to Ding Xiaolan to take a detour

Pei Liping parked the car downstairs before he got out of the car, and before he could lock the car door, several young people who seemed to be chatting rushed up to him, beating him to the ground and screaming

"What are you doing here," Qi Lusa hurried over

"Boy, don't be nosy, or I'll fight you together" The young man led by him brandished a wooden stick and threatened Qi Lu, and the other people let go Pei Liping quickly rushed to Qi Lu and Ding Xiaolan's side, surrounding the two

This is a few young people dressed in fashion, all holding a wooden stick, and one is holding a long knife in his hand, the guy who threatened Qi Lu just now is less than thirty years old, there is a scar on his left forehead, and a cigarette is in his mouth, at this time he has turned his gaze to Ding Xiaolan, a little ill-intentioned

Ding Xiaolan couldn't stand his obscene eyes, and his body had subconsciously moved closer to Qi Lu

"If you don't know each other, get out of here," Scarface said fiercely, and puffed a cigarette in Ding Xiaolan's face

Qi Lu was so angry by his drag that he reached out and grabbed Scarface's wooden stick, followed by a beautiful empty-handed snatching white blade and snatching his wooden stick into his hand

"Damn, you're looking for death," Scarface punched, Qi Lu raised his stick, took advantage of the situation, pulled away his fist, raised his leg to his lower abdomen, and kicked him to the ground, immediately

A young man next to him saw that his companion had suffered a loss, and hit Qi Lu on the head with a wooden stick, Qi Lu flashed sideways, followed by a sensitive grasp of his hand holding the stick, and then pushed and twisted his backhand, and the young man screamed, and the wooden stick in his hand fell to the ground

Another young man saw that Ding Xiaolan was going to help Pei Liping, stepped forward and grabbed Ding Xiaolan's back collar, and rudely pushed her away

"Even women beat you, you still have to be shameless," Qi Lu roared angrily, raised a stick and hit him on the shoulder, and then stumbled before he could turn around, and he also fell to the ground

"Who else is not convinced," Qi Lu asked the remaining young people with a wooden stick

Qi Lu's beautiful grappling movements suddenly shocked everyone present, and the few young people who didn't move their hands hesitated and didn't dare to fight Qi Lu, they stood there for a moment before they reacted, stepped forward and helped the two companions who fell to the ground up

After Scarface got up from the ground, he glared at Pei Liping viciously, rushed over and wanted to hit him again

Qi Lu hurriedly crossed between the two of them, aimed at Scarface's head, and hit Scarface with a fierce blow, Scarface fell to the ground in response, covering his head and struggling on the ground in pain

A few other people learned to be obedient, and after they helped Scarface up, they left stupidly, and Scarface scolded as he walked: "The surname Pei is lucky for you today, next time Lao Tzu will have to kill you, a brute."

"Mr. Pei, you're okay," Qi Lu helped Pei Liping up and helped him pat the ashes behind him

"Master Qi, thank you so much," Pei Liping said with emotion: "I thought Master Qi was just amazing in spells, but I didn't expect your martial arts to be so good."

"There, there used to be a police officer friend who taught me a few tricks in grappling, but I just tried it casually, but I didn't expect it to work."

"Ah, isn't this that bastard," Ding Xiaolan picked up something from the ground when Qi Lu and the two were talking

Qi Lu stretched out his hand and took it, and saw that it was the head picture on the ID card, which was the scarred face who fought with him, so he laughed and said: "It must have been dropped when I hit him just now, throw it in the trash, let him go and remake one, it should be regarded as a small lesson."

"You're nervous, now that we know who he is, we can call the police and let the police arrest him," Ding Xiaolan snatched the ID card in Qi Lu's hand, then took out his mobile phone and prepared to call 110

Pei Liping said: "Miss Ding doesn't have to, just let me suffer a loss, I don't want to be retaliated against"

Ding Xiaolan said angrily: "You are still afraid of retaliation after beating you like this"

Qi Lu also said: "Yes, you can't be cheap with them, otherwise they think you are cowardly and afraid."

"Forget it, I'd better try to get into as little trouble as possible, I don't want to get entangled with these thugs."

"You can't say that"

Before Qi Lu could finish speaking, Pei Liping shook his head and interrupted him, and said softly: "Actually, they didn't have any holiday with me, they were just hired to threaten me."

Qi Lu hurriedly asked: "Who threatens you?"

"Who else is not those opponents in the business field, these people think that I am blocking their financial path"

Ding Xiaolan pointed to the avatar on the ID card and said, "Then you know this bastard?"

"I don't know, I never deal with the underworld," Pei Liping's face was a little unnatural when he spoke

Qi Lu said: "Mr. Pei, I think you still have to use the law to protect your rights."

"Forget it, let's make money and make money, and after going through this incident, I will guard against them in the future"

Seeing that Pei Liping didn't want to pursue the matter, Qi Lu couldn't say anything, so he had to ask with concern: "The injury is not serious, or I will take you to the hospital."

"It's okay to have a little skin injury, I'll just go home and wipe some bruises," Pei Liping said with a smile: "You must come to dinner at noon."

"Okay", since Pei Liping didn't even want to go to the hospital, Qi Lu had to help Pei Liping and Ding Xiaolan go home to rest

At Pei Liping's house, Qi Lu saw him clumsily rubbing himself with medicine, so he stepped forward to help him rub the medicine

"Mr. Pei, since you don't want to go to the hospital, it's better to go to bed and rest, and let your relatives do the lunch banquet."

"Alas," Pei Liping said with a sad face: "It's annoying to even sleep now, it's better to wait for the next drunk to rest."

"Do you have insomnia?" Ding Xiaolan thought to herself, her wife had just died, because she missed her heart, and it was normal for her to not fall asleep

"Insomnia is even if I often have nightmares"

"Mr. Pei's condolences have changed, I don't think Ms. Su wants to see you so sad in heaven," Ding Xiaolan softly persuaded him

"Alas," Pei Liping sighed again, "I often dream of her, so I can't let go"

Speaking of this, Pei Liping hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and said to them: "Even yesterday, when I was in a coma, I dreamed of her, I don't know what happened to me, I actually dreamed that she turned into a ghost and found me to return to the underworld together."

"Yesterday" Qi Lu, who was beside him, was suddenly shocked when he heard it, remembering everything he encountered in the illusion yesterday, Pei Liping was also in his own illusion, and his behavior was very strange

"Maybe I owe her too much to have such a dream," Speaking of this, Pei Liping showed a strange smile, and he said to Qi Lu: "I don't know how cranky I thought, in my dream, it was actually the master, you helped me get out of trouble"

"Ah," Qi Lu gasped when he heard this, and he couldn't calm down anymore

Could it be that Pei Liping was really in his own fantasy yesterday, but he himself said that it was a dream, how can I have such a great ability to sneak into other people's dreams

Qi Lu said quietly: "Mr. Pei is really good at joking, shuttling through dreams, that is something that only gods can do, in my opinion, you said that I rescued you in a dream, it is more reasonable to say that the gods saved you."

"Oh, master, I really remember what you said, there was a handsome young man who accompanied the master in the dream at that time, maybe he was the fairy who came to rescue me," Pei Liping grabbed his braincase and tried to think about it, and then said: "It's too vague, I just remember the appearance of the young man who I returned to my hometown in the dream, I really can't remember"

At this time, Qi Lu couldn't answer anymore, and from Pei Liping's account, he had already noticed that he seemed to have really entered his dream, but this was impossible

Qi Lu instantly had an impulse to tell Pei Liping everything that happened in the illusion yesterday, but for some reason, he always felt that this Pei Liping was not as honest and sincere as he saw on the surface, and after thinking about it again and again, he said to Pei Liping in a comforting tone: "Dream is just a mental activity during sleep, it is a reflection of our subconscious in the mind, why should Mr. Pei bother with this, or adjust your mentality to grasp the reality, is what you need to consider right now."

"What the master said is that I'm a person who likes Taoist techniques and loves to talk about chaotic forces and strange gods, so I have such strange dreams."

Qi Lu chatted with him for a few more words, then said goodbye and went home on the grounds of not disturbing his rest, before leaving, Pei Liping invited Qi Lu again and was going to a banquet at noon, and Qi Lu had to agree
