Besides, I was sleeping soundly at home, and suddenly received a call from Tian Qi, saying that he was going out to drink, and suddenly Zhang Er was confused, and more reluctantly, damn, I didn't sleep at night, what kind of wine did I drink?

Complaining is complaining, and I finally got out of bed, closed the door lightly, and walked out of the house.

It was still snowing outside the shop, and everywhere was a patch of silver, reflecting the moonlight, and the white light illuminated the houses in Xishui Town as if it were day, and the temperature was so low that it seemed that even the air was about to freeze.

I put my hands in my pockets and asked Tian Qi, why did you suddenly think about drinking so late?

Tian Qi grinned: I just want to drink.

I don't know if it's an illusion...... I always felt that this guy's smile was a little bleak.

I scratched my head and said, "It's all here, the restaurants are closed, right?"

Tian Qi smiled: Don't worry, there is a place that will not be closed.

My heart moved, and I suddenly thought of something, and asked him if it was the Moon Tavern last time?

Tian Qi smiled slightly, and finally did not say "Heavenly Secret is not leaked", but generously admitted: "Yes, that's it." ”

So, Tian Qi led the way, and I followed him to the mysterious tavern.

I can't remember how many alleys I passed, how many streets I walked, and how many shortcuts I copied on the way......

I only know that this road is getting stranger and stranger, I am a person who has lived in Xishui Town for 20 years, and at this moment I am like a road idiot, following him in a daze, but Tian Qi, who has only been in Xishui Town for a few months, is extremely familiar with the road, as if he has walked for a hundred years or a thousand years.

I wondered, but I didn't ask...... Because I know that when Tian Qi wants to tell me, he will tell me sooner or later, and when these secrets should come to the surface, they will also surface sooner or later.

So I'm not in a hurry.

With a little curiosity, a little excitement, and a little doubt, he followed Tian Qi, a "person from other towns", all the way through the streets and alleys.

Finally, stopped at the door of a tavern.

Moon Tavern.

Sure enough, it's here!

Last time I was injured in the ancient house, and after returning home, the high fever did not go away, Tian Qi took me to this place in a semi-comatose situation, and exchanged a copper coin from the old king of the rice shop for a bottle of fine wine.

The wine entered my throat, and all kinds of discomfort on my body miraculously disappeared, no matter how I asked afterwards, Tian Qi just refused to tell me the origin of the wine, and kept prevaricating me with the inability to leak the heavenly machine.

Returning to the old place, this time I was completely conscious, and when I looked at the tavern again, I faintly found some strange places......

On the counter in the tavern, an oil lamp was lit, and the antique utensils and gray walls were illuminated.

An old man over half a hundred years old and thin was sitting at a small table with a set of black and white chess games on the table.

Everything looks perfectly normal.

But if you look closely, you will find the faint glow of the oil lamp...... There was no wick.

And the chess game in front of the old man, the black and white chess pieces on it, every once in a while, actually floated in the air on their own, and slowly fell again.

It's as if there are two "invisible" people playing chess......

"Don't look at it, go in and drink." Tian Qi patted me on the shoulder and said.

I nodded, not too scared in my heart, because I knew that Tian Qi would definitely not harm me if he brought me here.

"It's closed."

The old lady, who was playing the score, raised her eyes slightly and said.

Tian Qi said with a smile: "Everyone is here, how can there be a reason to drive the guests away...... This business, you have to do. ”

The old man narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Why? ”

"That's it!"

Tian Qi took out a copper coin from his arms and slapped it on the table.

"One?" The old man teased.

"Look closely." Tian Qi said lazily.

The old man stood up, walked to the counter, and picked up the copper coin.

After a while, the old man suddenly changed color and said in horror: "This ...... This is? ”

"Shh......h

"Heaven must not be divulged."

Tian Qi made a boo gesture and said to me with a smile, "Let's go, find a good place to sit down and drink." ”

The old man glanced at Tian Qi deeply, no longer with the same frivolous color as before, but with a sense of awe that made me wonder.

He didn't accept the copper coin, but returned it to Tian Qi, and then turned around and went to soju.

Soon, a pot of wine was boiled, and the old man poured a glass for me and Tian Qi respectively.

Tian Qi drank it all, and the old man who saw it was in pain, and hurriedly filled him with a glass.

I took a sip slowly, and the taste was the same as last time, with an indescribable mellow aroma.

Tian Qi glanced at me and said with a smile: "How boring are you drinking like this?" ”

After speaking, he drank it all again, put down the cup, and said with a smile: "Young man, you should be full of vitality, and when you drink, you should be happy and drink freely!" ”

I whispered to him, is this wine expensive?

Tian Qi nodded, and said with a smile It's so expensive that you can't believe it......

I hesitated for a moment and said it was better to drink it slowly.

Tian Qi rolled his eyes.

The old man on the side smiled and said, "Everyone has different avenues, so why force it." ”

"Go, go, my Tian Qi's avenue, you are not qualified to point fingers!" Tian Qi didn't have a good breath, and then laughed again, "Of course, this is not unreasonable, it's just that I'm simply in a bad mood and want to refute it." ”

The old man smiled bitterly and simply stopped talking.

A few glasses of wine went down.

Tian Qi suddenly said: Do you have a lot of things you want to ask me?

I let out an "um" and immediately sat up straight and looked at him expectantly.

Tian Qi held back for a long time, and finally sighed and said: Brother Ding, I really want to tell you, but the heavens are ......

"Then don't talk about it." I smiled and said, "Actually, I can probably see that this tavern is very unusual, and you Tian Qi is also very unusual. ”

Tian Qi snorted, and said shamelessly that he was not so powerful.

After taking a sip of wine, Tian Qi took out the copper coin just now from his body, handed it to me, and said with a smile: "Look, what's on this copper coin." ”

I took it and looked at it and said, "Don't you see anything?"

"Come closer, take a closer look." Tian Qi said.

I took the copper coin closer, but I didn't notice that Tian Qi quietly stretched out a hand on the back of my head and snapped his fingers.

Smack!

Then I saw a strange image that I will never forget......

Among the copper coins, there is a creature with scales all over its body, like a snake but not a snake, with horns on its head, a long beard on its face, and long claws on its body.

This is...... Dragon?

My eyes widened, I never thought that I would see such a legendary creature in this copper coin!

"Lao Tian, what's going on?" I put down the copper coin and couldn't help but ask.

Tian Qi smiled and said, "How is it, is it fun?" Actually, it's nothing, it's just an ordinary image......

I asked him, is there a miniature video software in this copper coin?

Oh my boy, this is high-tech......

Can it be sold for a lot of money, right?

Tian Qi staggered, almost fell to the ground, and said speechlessly: "Your kid has a really rich imagination, okay, this copper coin is for you." ”

"Give it to me?" I was stunned, "What are you doing for me?" ”

"I should give you a birthday present in advance." Tian Qi said nonchalantly, "This kind of thing, I will have as many as I want in the future." ”

I didn't understand what Tian Qi meant, but I still accepted it.

However, when I looked at the copper coin again, I found that the scene inside was gone......

Hey, is there no power?

Tian Qi chuckled: Don't worry, you will see it sooner or later...... At that time, it may be the time for our brothers to reunite.

I was shocked and said: What, Lao Tian, are you leaving? Where to?

Tian Qi smiled, pretended not to hear, slapped the table hard, and said to the old man next to him: "Hurry up and serve the wine, today Lao Tzu and his brother will not get drunk and not return!" ”

The old man had a bitter face and whispered: I haven't heard of anyone coming to my tavern and getting drunk......

"What, don't you accept it? Lao Tzu is going to break this precedent today! Tian Qi grinned and said, "Besides, you are a gatekeeper with a guilty body, you should have made a lot of money and water over the years, right?" Just drink a few glasses of wine from you, just such a little family? It's a big deal to wait for Lao Tzu to come back here in the future, and then double it back to you. ”

Hearing this, the old man's eyes showed a look of surprise, and he hurriedly went to the side to make wine.

So, Tian Qi and I got drunk that night, staggered home, and fell asleep unconscious.

Early the next morning, I suddenly remembered that Tian Qi said that he was leaving, and I was in a panic, so I hurriedly got up and came to the store, and found that this guy was sitting in front of the computer and playing happily, scolding while playing, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I took a look at the display and keyboard, as well as the console, all of which were completely new, and I was very surprised, and asked Tian Qi, have you bought a new computer?

Tian Qi was busy PK with the computer, and hurriedly said: "Ah, your computer was broken by me last night, this is a new one I just bought, it cost more than 10,000 yuan, hurry up, reimburse me." ”

I suddenly got angry, thinking that you broke my computer, just forget it if you don't lose money to me, and now let me reimburse?

However, the computer is broken, but I am in a better mood.

Because Tian Qi didn't go.

Perhaps, last night was just his drunken talk......

At noon, Huang Mao and others suddenly came to the store, all of them were violent, and the people who came were not good.

Huang Mao saw Chen Yao lying on the bed, reading a book, his eyes lit up, and he smiled lewdly: "Ding Mian, you kid Yanfu is not shallow, a broken shop, and now there are three little beauties living there?" How about lending me a trick? ”

My face sank, and I resisted the thought of tearing his mouth apart, and said coldly, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Don't do anything, just to remind you, Lei Ye has spoken, let you draw a yin talisman suitable for him within three days, otherwise don't blame him for not being emotional." Huang Mao smiled hideously, "Oh yes, I forgot to tell you that your friend named Hu Chao, his father's company has had an accident recently, and most of them will be inescapable, so don't expect to ask the rich second generation for help, and honestly think about how to draw talismans." ”

After speaking, Huang Mao glanced at Chen Yao greedily a few more times before leaving.

"Scum!"

I cursed in my mouth, picked up my mobile phone, wanted to call Hu Chao's number, hesitated, and finally gave up.

If it is really as Huang Mao said, Hu Chao's father's company has a problem, he must be busy now, and he has no intention of doing a show.

I sighed, I thought that Lei Ye's matter was over...... Unexpectedly, the world is unpredictable.

It seems that you still have to rely on yourself after all.

*

In the afternoon, my sister stewed a big pot of beef, divided a part, and asked me to send it to Su Yingying opposite, saying that last time someone sent a plate of braised duck feet, this time I sent some beef, which is a courtesy.

I took the braised beef, walked to Su Yingying's house, and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened.

However, it was not Su Yingying who opened the door, but her father Su Quan.

In my impression, Su Quan has always been a taciturn and somewhat indifferent man.

In the 20 years I have been in Xishui Town, I have rarely communicated with him, and occasionally I meet, even if I nod symbolically to say hello, Su Quan will ignore him.

I can feel that this man who fried stinky tofu in Zhennan Food Street may look down on me in his heart.

I don't know where this contempt comes from, but every time I see him, I can see an undisguised disdain in his eyes.

This time, however, something is different.

When Su Quan saw me holding the braised beef, he showed an unprecedented smile and said, "Xiao Mian, is there something wrong?" ”

I was a little surprised, wondering if Su Quan's head was caught in the door, and he was so polite to me?

"Uncle Su, this is my sister's stewed beef, she asked me to send some over." I said.

"Haha, why be so polite, thank you so much." Su Quan took the beef and said with a smile.

"That'...... I'll go first? I said.

The sudden change in Su Quan's attitude really made me a little uncomfortable.

"Well, let's go, let's go, the weather has been bad lately, try to go out less and wear more clothes." Su Quan patted me on the shoulder.

I turned around and left, wondering for a while, thinking that it was this pot of braised beef that made Su Quan's index finger move, so he changed his indifference and meanness in the past and greeted me with a smile?

Until my figure disappeared outside, the smile on Su Quan's face slowly disappeared.

"Uncle Wu, who is it?" At this time, Su Yingying came over from the back room.

Su Quan...... Or the man surnamed Wu smiled: "Miss, it's that Ding Mian." ”

"Oh?" Su Yingying glanced at the braised beef in the hand of the man surnamed Wu, and couldn't help laughing, "Ouch, you also sent beef?" ”

"yes, that's so polite...... I'm too embarrassed to do anything to him. The man surnamed Wu chuckled.

Su Yingying's body stiffened and said, "Uncle Wu, when are you going to do something to him?" ”

"Let's do it tonight, after all, it will be the fate-seeking conference in two days, and when the time comes, the warlocks of the various immortal families will come to the town, and it will be inconvenient to make another move." The man surnamed Wu said.

Su Yingying bit her lip and remained silent.

"Miss, let me say more, don't you have compassion for this kid?" The man surnamed Wu frowned and said.

"How...... How could it be. Su Yingying's expression was slightly unnatural, and she laughed dryly, "Of course not." ”

"It's good if you don't have it." The man surnamed Wu nodded and said, "Don't talk about the grievances with his Ding family, this Ding Mian is just a dying ant, and he will die when he dies. ”

"Got it, Uncle Wu, you're so verbose." Su Yingying said impatiently, turned around and went back to the house.

The man surnamed Wu sighed, his eyes showed a little helplessness, and then he looked at the white shop opposite, snorted coldly, and said gloomily: "Originally, it was just a temptation, and I wanted you to live a few more days...... Now it seems that you Ding Mian must die. ”

*

After dinner in the evening, I originally wanted to discuss Lei Ye's affairs with Tian Qi, but who knew that this kid didn't play the computer anymore, so he sneakily walked outside, looked east and west, looked like a thief, and didn't know what to do.

I walked up to him and asked him if he was going.

Tian Qi showed an ambiguous smile on his face and said: Brother Ding, I won't tell you, I've been holding back for too long in the past few days, and I'm about to suffocate my internal injuries...... You have to find a place to vent.

"What are you venting about?" I'm confused.

"On Caojia Street opposite, a new hair salon has opened." Tian Qi coughed dryly twice, and said with some embarrassment.

"What, you're going to get a haircut?" I asked.

Tian Qi laughed and said, "Yes, find a girl to get a haircut on the bed."

Depend on!

I kind of get it! His face turned red, and he scolded:, don't mess around, be careful of infectious diseases.

"I'll just ask you, do you want to go?" Tian Qi said.

"If you don't go, you won't go to death!" I said angrily, "Don't go either, it's a bad place." ”

Tian Qi didn't look at me with a resentful look, and said pitifully, "There are three watery little cabbages dangling in front of you every day in the store, but you can't do it, can you understand this taste?" Alas, don't say it, Goodbye! ”

Before I could speak, this guy had already slipped away and ran away.

I was so angry that I thought I would have to take him to the hospital tomorrow for a proper check-up.

*

In the quiet of the night, the starlight is sparse, and the earth is so quiet that even the sound of butterflies flapping their wings can be heard.

Tian Qi, who had already walked away, turned around and walked back at some point.

He raised his head, looked at the cloudy sky, and chuckled lightly, "Yes, yes, the moon is dark and the wind is high, it is the night ...... murder."

After speaking, he turned a corner, went straight to the door of Su Yingying's house opposite, raised his hand, and knocked on the door.

Crunch!

The door opened, and Su Yingying, who was wearing pajamas, looked at Tian Qi with a blank face and said, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

"Something." Tian Qi said.

"What's the matter?" Su Yingying wondered.

"I'm leaving Tintiny Water." Tian Qi said.

"Huh?" Su Yingying was stunned for a moment, and then sneered, "No, if you want to leave, it's my business?" He also came to tell me, what, are we very familiar? Or are you going to come and confess to me? ”

Tian Qi also smiled, it was the kind of smile that was very honest and harmless to humans and animals.

It's just that this smile is mixed with an inexplicable chill.

"Miss, get out of the way!"

Behind him, a man surnamed Wu suddenly roared eagerly.

Su Yingying's face changed, and before she could react, her throat suddenly tightened, and she was choked by the handsome young man opposite.

The next second,

Su Yingying's whole person was directly pressed to the ground......
