Chapter 17: The Strange Girl
"Guan Yue, you're back. Who's the girl who sent you back just now, girlfriend? It's very good, that car is not affordable for ordinary people. ”
As soon as Guan Yue went upstairs and was about to open the door, a middle-aged woman who looked like a woman walked out of another house and greeted her with a smile.
"No, Aunt Zhao, it was a friend just now, and she happened to send me back on the way. Who can look at me like this? Guan Yue has never said much, but when he saw the middle-aged woman in front of him, he still spoke very politely.
The woman's name is Zhao Mei, and she is Guan Yue's landlord. Usually people are a bit spicy and mean, although Guan Yue doesn't like this kind of person very much, but he is an exception to this Zhao Mei. Perhaps because Zhao Mei and his wife have never had children, Zhao Mei, who has always been spicy and mean, seems quite kind every time she talks to Guan Yue.
Although the houses on Zhao Mei's side are private houses in the village and are also very dilapidated, because of the geographical location and the prosperous area of the city, the rent here is not as expensive as the residential area, but it is also extremely sought-after. So in terms of collecting rent, Zhao Mei collects it every month, but when she arrives at Guanyue, she always puts it very loosely, and even dragged it for two months in a row. For this point, Guan Yue has always been very grateful to Zhao Mei.
"Don't say such frustrating words, what are you like as a child, I don't know yet, come and take these fruits, you can't eat too badly when you take the college entrance examination." Zhao Mei didn't wait for Guan Yue to refuse, and directly stuffed the bag of fruit in her hand into Guan Yue's hand.
"Aunt Zhao, I may have to give you rent a little later this month." Thinking that his medical expenses were temporarily borrowed from Li Jing a few days ago, Guan Yue couldn't help but have a headache. With the situation at home, he couldn't bear to speak, and now that he saw Zhao Mei and suddenly remembered that he hadn't paid this month's rent, Guan Yue had no choice but to be cheeky and talk to Zhao Mei.
"It's okay, it's all a trivial matter, you can review with peace of mind, as long as you can do well in the exam, Aunt Zhao and I will exempt you from rent for these few months."
"Damn, is there any mistake, you are the same as urging us today, why are you so good to this kid at this time."
The young man on the side passed by with a basin, and when he heard Zhao Mei's words, he was immediately anxious. Thinking of Zhao Mei's scolding appearance when she collected her rent in the morning, and then looking at the scene in front of her, the young man couldn't tell the imbalance.
"My room, I can do whatever I want, do you have an opinion? If you don't want to live, get out now. ”
Zhao Mei, who had just smiled on her face, heard the young man's words and immediately returned to her arrogant appearance, which made Guan Yue on the side feel a little funny and full of gratitude to Zhao Mei at the same time.
"We have to find a way to get the money back." Back at the house, Guan Yue put the fruit aside and lay down on the bed. Thinking of his cheekiness in arrears of rent just now, Guan Yue sat up violently and acted immediately, ready to go out to see if there was a suitable part-time job.
After wandering around the street for a long time, Sekiyue finally stopped in front of a convenience store. Although this convenience store is a little far away from where he lives, the salary is a little higher than the other places he just looked, and the most important thing is that this store wants a cashier at night, and with the current state of Guan Yue not sleeping, it is just right for this job.
When the boss saw that Guan Yue was dressed as a student, he was relieved, and agreed to Guan Yue without saying a word. Told him that he could go to work immediately, and after simply telling Guan Yue how to operate, he handed over the convenience store to Guan Yue with confidence.
Generally, the first half of the night is busy, and the young girls who go out to the sea are one after another, which makes Guan Yue a little stiff at first, but then he slowly got used to it, and the efficiency in his hands naturally increased.
After midnight, basically no one came, except for some occasional young couples who came out in the middle of the night to buy some necessary supplies, Guan Yue was also happy to be idle.
Guan Yue, who was fine, took out the jade pendant that Zhongshan gave him during the day, although he didn't know what this jade pendant was, but Guan Yue always felt that this jade pendant had something to do with cultivation. With this feeling, Guan Yue was a little more certain about the conjecture that there were other cultivators in this world.
"If only I could enter the dream realm now, I could take it and ask Sister Fairy."
While looking at the jade pendant in his hand and talking to himself, Guan Yue subconsciously entered the spiritual power into the jade pendant. But the next moment, something unexpected for Guan Yue appeared in front of Guan Yue.
I saw that after absorbing the spiritual power, the jade pendant actually emitted a faint white light, and then slowly rose into the air in Guan Yue's surprised gaze. Then from Yu Pei's body, there was actually a fluctuation that made people palpitate, this fluctuation, even Guan Yue had a feeling of being suffocated.
This is nothing, and what shocked Guan Yue even more was that at this time, the spiritual power in his body was constantly surging towards the jade pendant. Guan Yue was shocked and immediately reacted, and he wanted to cut off the connection between the two sides, but what surprised him even more was that he had no way to cut off the flow of spiritual power.
"Oops!"
Guan Yue felt that it didn't matter if he had spiritual power or not, it was better if he didn't have it, he could smoothly enter the dream realm and continue to cultivate. But what worries him is actually the jade pendant itself, he still doesn't know what this jade pendant is, in case it has other abnormalities for a while, Guan Yue doesn't know how to react.
Just when Guan Yue was worried, this jade pendant automatically stopped absorbing spiritual power. Guan Yue was immediately relieved when he saw this, when he raised his hand to grab the jade pendant in his hand, this jade pendant actually emitted a more dazzling light, and then the white light flashed directly into Guan Yue's body, and disappeared without a trace.
"This!?"
Guan Yue was stunned for a moment, and felt the condition of his body, except for the loss of most of his spiritual power just now, he didn't find any abnormality. This made Guan Yue feel puzzled and slightly uneasy at the same time, often the unknown is the most unsettling, and Guan Yue is in this state at this time.
After checking his body again, Guan Yue completely gave up the continued pursuit of Yu Pei, and had to decide to ask He Luo after entering the dream next time to see if He Luo had some understanding of this.
Guan Yue sat down again, closed his eyes, and began to meditate. Although in reality, the time for cultivation is not as much as in the dream realm, but for a long night, Guan Yue has nothing else to do, and cultivation has become the only thing he can pass the time at this time.
"Where's the sanitary napkin?"
Guan Yue had just settled down when a cold voice came into his ears.
"it!" Guan Yue, who has always been calm, instinctively shouted the moment he opened his eyes.
"What's wrong with you, you don't have to post it if you ask."
As soon as Guan Yue opened his eyes, he was greeted by a blank and pale face, which was staring at him motionlessly. In this case, at this time, anyone will be taken aback, not to mention that the distance is still so close, Guan Yue feels that this face seems to have no temperature at this time, Rao is now that he has begun to practice, he is still taken aback by this kind of scene. After reacting, he immediately scolded.
Since he started practicing, strange people and strange things have always let Guan Yue one after another, which makes Guan Yue sometimes wonder, is it really because this world is too big, and he was too lonely before?
"Neurotic, I called you for a long time, it was you who didn't react......" A cold voice came into Guan Yue's ears.
The person who came was about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a cute dress, with a round face, and a somewhat naughty double ponytail, if you remove the miserable white complexion and godless eyes under the cold expression, the girl in front of her can definitely be regarded as an impeccable little Lori.
"Find it yourself, I don't know."
Guan Yue frowned, although he was a little dissatisfied with the girl's attitude, but he also knew that he was too involved in the time just now, and it was his own fault. But I just came here today, and I really don't know where to put it, although I let the other party find it by himself, but the tone of his voice has also eased.
"Oh."
The girl replied coldly, and her body trembled slightly and walked towards the shelf.
Seeing the girl's thin body walking slowly, there were faint blood stains flashing on her calves, coupled with the girl's pale face just now, Guan Yue was a little unbearable, sighed in his heart, and walked out of the cash register.
"Don't go, I'll help you find it. Here, you drink some hot water first. ”
Guan Yue poured some hot water from the kettle and handed it to the girl, then walked to the shelves and found them one by one.
"There's a bathroom inside, you can go there."
There was no hurry to collect the money, and after finding it, Guan Yue handed it to the girl directly.
The girl was not polite, and after taking the things, she walked over to the place pointed by Guan Yue.
"Collect money."
Not long after, the girl came out of the bathroom, took out a bill and put it on the cash register.
"It's so late, why haven't you come home yet?" Guan Yue asked as he collected the money.
"Something, passing through here."
The girl's words were still not much, but Guan Yue didn't know if it was a hallucination, and he felt that the girl's tone was much soothed compared to just now.
"It's best not to walk around the street at this time, you're too young to be safe."
Guan Yue was also well-intentioned, he meant that the girl's dress and appearance were too eye-catching, and there was a high chance of an accident.
"Thank you."
Guan Yue's words made the girl's eyes slightly brighter, and she looked at Guan Yue in some surprise, as if she was carefully studying him.
"If you don't feel safe going out, you can come over at any time, I'm here."
When the girl heard Guan Yue's words, she took the change from Guan Yue's hand after reaching out for a moment. For some reason, the girl felt that Guan Yue's tone was full of confidence when she said this.
A slight hint of blood appeared on her pale and cold face, revealing her white teeth in Guan Yue's surprised gaze.
She smiled, without the coldness she had before, and smiled kindly.
