CHAPTER XX

Clearing the wasteland, that is, dealing with the plants affected by the Moon Spirit Stone, Wei Xiao has already had several experiences, and there is no stage fright in this regard.

Merely......

She subconsciously glanced sideways at the person next to her, and the hand on her thigh involuntarily began to sweat. In the past, even when he was in the crowd creation, Wei Xiao acted in his personal name, but this time it was rare to appear in the form of an employee of the company.

It's been so long since I've been on the job, and it's the first time I've done something serious. For Wei Xiao, who has no social work experience, it is indeed difficult to maintain a gentle and calm attitude.

"What's wrong" Qin Zhao took advantage of the gap between waiting for the red light to briefly exchange glances with Wei Xiao through the rearview mirror in front of him, and asked casually: "I didn't carry your big tennis bag, and I didn't feel safe?" ”

What was in the tennis bag was the black Tang straight knife, which was also Wei Xiao's only weapon, even if there was a bunch of plants without any attack power in front of him, Wei Xiao was completely helpless, and could only watch with his eyes blank. So since I worked here in Qin Zhao, even though I was doing something that I didn't have, there was almost no time when it could really come in handy, but I was very serious about taking it with me every day.

"Sort of, it's my weapon, after all." Speaking of this, Wei Xiao couldn't help but be curious, and asked, "By the way, don't you all need weapons?" I still don't know, what is your weapon? ”

"You'll know when the time comes." Qin Zhao responded perfunctorily, obviously not wanting to continue.

"It's going to be so mysterious." Wei Xiao was speechless, rolled his eyes and muttered quietly.

Qin Zhao ignored her, but Yu Hongli, who was sitting in the back row, took over the topic and said, "I remember, Wei Xiao, your weapon seems to be a long knife, right?" ”

"yes, yes." Talking about the topic of knives, Wei Xiao became excited again, turned his head to look at Yu Hongli, and couldn't help but raise his voice a lot: "I knew you because of this knife before!" It is precisely because of this knife that I know these strange things. ”

Wei Xiao's emotional contagion ability was very strong when he spoke, and even with Yu Hongli, who had never spoken without any ups and downs, he couldn't help but laugh softly: "Yes, I thought it was such a good knife at the time, but the person holding it didn't know anything." ”

Qin Zhao listened to the conversation between the two of them silently, interjected coldly, snorted curiously, and said, "I said that your mother is also big-hearted, and she didn't even tell you about such an important weapon and thing when she left, if it weren't for Yu Hongli, it would have been wasted." ”

"Haha, yes." Wei Xiao nodded with a smile, but suddenly reacted halfway through speaking, and looked at Qin Zhao suspiciously: "How do you know about my mother's departure?" ”

Even if I have sent my resume before, I have never mentioned the topic of family, and I have simply brought it in a few words. As for the weapon, he didn't mention it to the other party at all.

The smile on Qin Zhao's face almost stopped imperceptibly, and then he spoke with a comfortable expression: "Yu Hongli is also a member of the company, I know that these things are not unexpected." ”

Before Wei Xiao could continue to ask, Qin Zhao turned sharply and stopped directly in the parking lot outside the Rhine River, the car door opened and everyone got out of the car, and the topic just now seemed to be automatically cut off.

When Yu Hongli got out of the car with a black umbrella, he said casually: "I can't be regarded as a person from your company, don't pull me in." ”

Qin Zhao was not angry, and curled the corners of his mouth: "No, it's not, anyway, I can't afford your salary." ”

Wei Xiao silently followed the two of them, looked up and forgot to go down the sky, although the weather forecast today has always said that there will be heavy rain, and it has always looked like a black cloud has been overwhelming since the morning, but the heavy rain has never fallen. Yu Hongli's holding of an umbrella so seriously makes people feel an indescribable subtlety and strangeness.

It seems that when I meet him in a place other than a bookstore, he is almost always wearing an umbrella.

The banks of the Rhine can be regarded as the earliest residential areas in the entire Rong City, and several neighborhoods are gathered together to form a whole living area. The cleanliness and uniformity are higher than ever before, and because of this, the roads and artificial lakes separated by the neighborhood are treated well, and the nearby willow trees are planted.

"You checked the entire Rhine last time, so you probably know about the situation here, right?" After the three of them casually found a coffee shop and sat down, Qin Zhao opened his mouth and said to Wei Xiao.

"Well, there is nothing else wrong, it is that the willow trees near the artificial lake are more affected." Wei Xiao's expression also became serious, and said, "The breath of the Moon Spirit Stone is very obvious, but ......"

"But what? Go on. ”

"You say yours, leave me alone." After Yu Hongli came in, he went straight to the darkest corner and sat down, opening the laptop he was carrying with him without looking back.

"If it's not from our company, it certainly won't care about you." Qin Zhao leaned back on the sofa and said with Shi Shiran.

"Oh, then should I be quieter and not let Boss Yu hear?"

Yu Hongli: ......

Qin Zhao: "...... Is your stunt a climb up the pole? ”

Wei Xiao shook his head solemnly: "No." ”

Yu Hongli finally couldn't hold back, leaned on the notebook and laughed.

There weren't many people in the café on weekdays, and Wei Xiao and the three of them were talking in the corner, and no one would come over to disturb them. After Wei Xiao joked, this continued the topic just now: "The aura of the moon spirit stone here, after careful investigation, can be clearly felt very strong. However, such a strong breath did not leak at all. ”

The triangular plum that had problems there in Zhongchuang was large in area, but the breath of the moon spirit stone was very weak and could hardly be felt. It was the successive events there that attracted Wei Xiao's attention, otherwise he would not have thought about things in the direction of the Moon Spirit Stone.

On the banks of the Rhine River, it is just the opposite, and the aura of the large Moon Spirit Stone is also very strong, much stronger than the water floating lotus harvested in Hejiangmen before. But Rao is like this, if it weren't for Qin Zhao's task arranged here, she would almost never find out.

These two situations were completely different from the previous situation where they automatically felt the breath of the moon spirit stone. It used to be easy for anyone to find out about, but now it's quite secretive and not easy for anyone to notice.

In this way, this matter is worth studying.

But Qin Zhao only frowned slightly, and said without changing his face: "I know, after I get the fragments of the Moon Spirit Stone, I will continue to study this matter." His tone was so calm that there was no trace of turbulence, as if he felt that this matter was only a very small change.

Yu Hongli didn't even raise his head, and didn't seem to care at all.

Looking at the performance of the two of them, Wei Xiao had to temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart, quietly looked at the information on the computer, and waited for the night to come. After all, even if it has the effect of spars, the action of clearing the wasteland will inevitably be discovered by passers-by, and the best time is in the dead of night.

In the afternoon, Qin Zhao took the lead in standing up, as if he was a little impatient to wait, he simply moved his body, turned his head to look at Wei Xiao and said, "Watch a movie, are you going?" ”

"What?" Wei Xiao didn't seem to be able to react to what the other party was talking about, and his voice raised uncontrollably by at least eight degrees, and the people at the two tables in the farthest place looked at this side curiously.

Qin Zhao looked around, looking a little helpless: "Why don't you be louder, or lend you a horn?" ”

Wei Xiao also realized his exaggeration, and smiled embarrassedly in the direction that someone was looking at, then he turned his head to look at Qin Zhao and lowered his voice: "Really?" Go to the movies? ”

"Anyway, there will be a while, if you want to face Yu Hongli's wooden face here, I don't have any opinion."

“……”

THE WOODEN-FACED YU HONGLI DIDN'T EVEN GIVE A LOOK TO THE TWO OF THEM WHO DISSED HIM IN PERSON, WEI XIAO HESITATED, BUT STILL AGREED.

Qin Zhao's movements were very fast, and he carried out the four words of passing time to the extreme. He stared at the software for buying tickets for a long time, Wei Xiao thought that he was very serious about choosing a good-looking one, but after looking at it, he found that the other party just chose the longest one at random.

The attitude towards watching movies is also quite perfunctory, I bought popcorn and Coke, and after I went in and found my place, I began to look drowsy. Fortunately, there are not a few people who come to the theater at night, otherwise Wei Xiao thinks that the other party may directly find a dark corner to sleep and rest.

"Watch me do what?" As if noticing her gaze, Qin Zhao turned his head to look at her and asked.

"It's nothing, nothing," Wei Xiao hurriedly shook his head, and after thinking about it, he decided to thank the boss who took him to work to fish: "I just feel that work is time to watch movies, and I haven't done anything, and I still feel a little sorry not to go." ”

"I didn't expect your ideological realm to be so high."

"Of course, after all, I get paid every day, and I want to do things seriously."

"It's okay, today's movie ticket is paid for by yourself, and it will be deducted when you settle your salary later," Qin Zhao said unhurriedly, and continued to make up for her heart mercilessly: "Today's coffee money and meal money are the same, after all, there is no mention of meal allowance in the salary." ”

Wei Xiao was completely speechless: "Thank you, boss." ”

"You're welcome, you should be."

The number of people coming in the theater gradually increased, and Wei Xiao gave up talking to the other party, took a few deep breaths to calm himself down and not get angry. Thinking like this, Wei Xiao took out his mobile phone, adjusted the light of the mobile phone to the darkest, tapped his fingertips on it a few times, and finally clicked on the WeChat page, and slid down to the dialog box with Wei Jianguo.

Wei Xiao: I worked overtime today, so I won't come back for dinner. I think I'll be back late.

Wei Xiao waited for a while, but did not wait for the other party's reply, and silently sighed in his heart and turned off the phone.

Two and a half hours passed quickly, and when Wei Xiao came out of the movie theater, she found that Wei Jianguo had replied to her message halfway. However, the content is quite concise, with only a short "know" three words, and no extra information.

I couldn't tell what kind of mood I was in, Wei Xiao heard Qin Zhao speak first: "It's almost time, you can go over directly." ”

"Hmm." Wei Xiao nodded, and also raised his hand to look at the time, although it was only past ten o'clock now, no one could say when there would be changes and harvesting, and it was always right to prepare in advance.

After a brief few words, the two walked out of the cinema and prepared to part ways.

But when he didn't want to go around the corner, as soon as Wei Xiao raised his head, his footsteps stopped.

On the road not far ahead, there were two men walking one after the other. The only thing that catches the eye is that the hair color of the two men is quite stylish, and under the bright street lamp, you can see very clearly, one has red hair, and the other has green hair.

It's really not that enemies don't get together!
