Every time I think like this, my eyes start to drift.

When he noticed that I was outside the object again, he reached out and patted me on the head.

I blinked, deliberately putting on a very innocent expression: "What are you doing, beating me again?" ”

Yan Yanan said angrily: "Can you not desert when people are talking, this is very rude, you know?" ”

I gave her a smile and apologized.

Yan Yanan sighed helplessly: "I really can't help you, anyway, no matter what, even if you have the Netherworld Treasure, you still have to practice every day in the future." Nether Treasure can only raise your basic path, but if your own path is too low, it won't be of much use to you. ”

I was puzzled: "Basic Taoism? ”

Yan Yanan rolled his eyes: "It seems that you didn't listen to a word of what I just said!" Forget it, I don't bother to say it again, anyway, you just practice well, and you will understand how important the basic path is in the future. ”

After speaking, she turned around and picked up the food box on the ground: "This is the dim sum that Lao Jiang asked me to bring you, you can taste it, she said, if you think it is delicious, she will make you some more." ”

I opened the box and saw that it was full of small pastries that I had never seen before, and immediately frowned: "It's a new product again, she wants me to help her test the poison, right?" ”

Since it comes to drug testing, I have to explain a few more words, so as not to make everyone look at it in a fog.

In addition to a small noodle restaurant, Boss Jiang also runs a pastry shop, speaking of which, her skills in making pastries are actually quite good, but the people who do business with her are all running for cinnabar, so she has top skills, but no one evaluates them.

Because I can eat better, and I also recognize Boss Jiang's craftsmanship, I naturally became the biggest customer of the pastry shop.

At first, when I went to the pastry shop to buy something, Boss Jiang sold me some normal dim sum, but as I got to know her more and more, her fox tail was revealed.

Boss Jiang is good at everything, but he especially likes to pour some things that others have not poured out, take West Pastry as an example, she doesn't make good pastries, she has to make some shocking things, the key is that you love innovation, love shocking the world, no problem, but don't keep letting me be a guinea pig!

I've eaten all of them, including natto cake, cinnabar pudding, pan bottom sandwiches, and fish scale pie, and some of them are still poisonous.

Although I am invincible, she doesn't want to mess with me like this.

Alas, I originally planned to talk about these things calmly, but every time I broke up Boss Jiang's various evil deeds, my heart was full of resentment.

Yan Yanan stuffed the food box into my hand: "What is a drug test, don't talk so ugly, okay." Although the materials used are a little stumbling, Lao Jiang's craftsmanship is still good, I estimate it, the taste of these new products will not be bad. ”

She was right, Boss Jiang made new pastries, and the taste has always been very good, otherwise I wouldn't have been helping her test drugs.

After saying that, Yan Yanan was about to leave, but before he could go out, he turned his head again and pointed at Li Huaishan: "What's wrong with you buddy today, since I entered the door, you have been silly at me." ”

I glanced back at Li Huaishan, and he was really grinning, smirking at Yanan.

As soon as I saw him like that, I knew what he was thinking, so I quickly let Yan Yanan go.

Yan Yanan seemed to have urgent things to do, so he turned his head and stepped out of the door frame.

Li Huaishan didn't seem to want her to go so fast, and suddenly said, "It's not raining today." ”

Yan Yanan stopped again, looked back at me, and then looked at Li Huaishan: "What did you say?" ”

Li Huaishan sat up straight: "Didn't you say that there was heavy rain today, but look outside, what a good sunny day, not a drop of rain has fallen." ”

Yan Yanan frowned, and said to me again: "Have you been looking for the civet cat in the alley recently?" ”

I nodded, "yes." ”

Yan Yanan pondered for a while before continuing: "If you want to find a civet cat, you must enter the back alley, and when you get there, you will know what my words mean?" ”

Li Huaishan and I opened their mouths at the same time and asked, "Back alley?" ”

Yan Yanan nodded: "Our old alley is divided into two parts by the keel, the front alley belongs to the yang, which is used for business, and the back alley belongs to the yin, which is the territory of the ghosts, and the civet also lives there." However, I suggest that you don't rush to find it, the second master must be extra careful when entering the back alley, with your current cultivation, once you enter, it is very likely that you will not be able to get out. ”

I couldn't help frowning: "Why haven't I heard you say it before?" ”

Yan Yanan: "Because you are not qualified to go to the back alley, that place, only the eight gates of our old family's house can enter." But I think that since the second master asked you to find a civet cat, he should have given you a privilege. ”

I immediately asked, "Where is the back alley and how do I get in?" ”

Yan Yanan spread his hands: "I don't know about this." Although I went there once when I was a child, I was too young at that time to forget how the second master got me in. ”

I said, "Didn't you just say that only the Eight Great Dingmen can enter the back alley, why did the second master take you in?" ”

"To change my life."

Yan Yanan hastily coped with this sentence, and then left quickly.

When her footsteps were some distance away from the bedroom, I leaned down and asked, "Yesterday I asked you to find the civet cat, did you find it?" ”

Big and small black shook their heads in unison.

I thought about it for a while, and then I said to them, "Keep looking, and bring back to me any cats that are in the old alleys." ”

The size of the black brush nods.

Li Huaishan said on the side: "I have been to the old alley twice, but I have never seen a cat." Supposedly, there should be a lot of wild cats in a place like this? ”

Indeed, I have been in the old alley for so long, and I have never seen a shadow of a wild cat.

While thinking about this, I took out my mobile phone and dialed the second master's number.

The second master usually answers the phone quickly, but this time, he didn't connect until he was about to disconnect.

"Say it quickly." As soon as the second master picked up the phone, he urged.

I didn't talk nonsense, and asked the second master directly: "How do you get into the back alley?" ”

"Figure it out for yourself."

Syllable!

After saying a word, the second master hung up, and I still have a lot to say.

Originally, I wanted to call again, but when I thought of the second master's temperament, I finally put the phone back in my pocket.

The tone of his voice just now was very urgent, obviously there was something important to do at hand, if I didn't know how to beat him again, the second master should scold.

Li Huaishan raised his chin at me: "Is there something wrong in the afternoon?" ”

I looked at him: "It's nothing, you have something?" ”

Li Huaishan: "My new store opens, why don't you come over and cheer me on?" ”

"No," I said, "while we're free, let's hurry up and practice." ”

Li Huaishan: "Practice? Are you okay, don't you hate practicing the most? ”

I sighed: "There's no way, now that the Netherworld Treasure is in my hands, I don't know when someone will come to grab it, if I don't hurry up and improve my cultivation, I'm afraid that when trouble comes, my life will not be guaranteed." ”

While talking, I walked towards the door, and Li Huaishan muttered, "It's so serious." He also followed.

For me, practicing is indeed a very boring thing, and it is also for Li Huaishan.

That afternoon, Yan Yanan went out and didn't come back until late at night, without her supervision, even if Li Huaishan and I forced ourselves to practice, we couldn't concentrate at all, chatting while practicing, and in the end we didn't know what we were practicing.

That night, Yan Yanan came back with a large suitcase, which contained all kinds of classics collected from Xitang.

I heard Yan Yanan say that these classics were all brought to me by Yu Heng, and told her to keep an eye on me, and to let me eat all the classics within a month, and after a month, I will go back to Xitang to get new ones.

Since that night, Yan Yanan has never left the alley, staring at me and Li Huaishan practicing and reading every day, which makes me and Li Huaishan very annoying.

During this period, Zhang Dayou has not heard from him, and he did not return the 20,000 yuan I sent to him before, nor did he say a word "thanks" to me.

I'm a little upset about this.

About half a month later, Zhang Dayou suddenly called, saying that there were a few antiquities to sell, and asked me if I would accept them, and I said to take them and take a look.

I didn't let anyone else know about this call, but in the afternoon he contacted me and said that if Zhang Dayou came to me, I must leave him in Bohai Bay.

"For a person like Zhang Dayou, instead of letting him wander outside, it is better to stay by his side and control it is convenient."

These are the exact words of Yu Liyan.

And when I heard the words "convenient control", my heart was very resistant, no matter whether Zhang Dayou has the heart or not, he is a person with an independent will, why do you control others, how to control it?

However, Yu Liyan later said that it was the second master's intention to leave Zhang Dayou in Bohai.

Since it's the meaning of the second master, then I have no opinion.

The second master is strong and impatient, but he knows how to respect better than anyone else, he respects other people's ideas, respects his own commitments, and respects all things in heaven and earth, but he usually doesn't deliberately show it.

I know the second master, and the second master also understands me.

But we don't know about Zhang Dayou.

I thought that after the phone call, Zhang Dayou would at least come after a while, but I didn't expect him to arrive the next day.

I haven't seen him for half a month, Zhang Dayou's temperament is still like that, no matter how you look at it, he is a little contrived and humble, but his outfit has changed from head to toe, looking at his famous brand of no less than 10,000 yuan, I know where the 20,000 yuan given to him is spent.

This guy will enjoy it.

Although I feel a little disgusted with people like him in my heart, after all, people are customers, and I can't say it on the surface, so I still have to put on a smiling face of "serving customers as God" and welcome him in.

The first thing Zhang Dayou said after entering the door was: "I will return the money you lent me." ”

He still held himself and deliberately widened his voice, as if he wanted to make his words sound more imposing.

I smiled: "When the thing is sold, I'll just deduct it from your share." What did you bring with you this time, take it out and take a look. ”

Zhang Dayou was not in a hurry to light things, but only asked me: "How long will it take to make a move?" ”

I pouted: "This is not possible, if it is fast, it may take a few days, if it is slow, it is not easy to say." But don't worry, as long as the thing is good, it will definitely sell. ”

"That'...... Can you ......" Zhang Dayou became a little hesitant: "Lend me some more money?" When the time comes for you to start ...... Just deduct it from my points. ”
