After all, they are old friends who are too familiar to know each other, and occasionally making a little conflict will not affect the relationship between the two people.

When the new stove is barbecued, I will go to the convenience store outside the grain bureau to buy a bottle of liquor and a case of beer, saying that I want to catch up with Zhuochenzi.

I didn't want to participate in the dinner between the two of them, but Practical insisted that I stay, and it just so happened that I didn't eat, so I stayed to eat.

Zhuo Chenzi is not a person who is better than alcohol, half a glass of white wine is in his stomach, and people are slightly drunk, and there are more words.

He chatted with Practical Practice, at first it was mostly some old things, and when he talked about various experiences in the past, he always had a look of emotion, but Practical seemed to be not interested in the things he had done before, and there were not many special expressions on his face.

Burning Dust chattered endlessly, and most of the time he only regarded himself as a listener, occasionally responding a few words, and saying things that were not painful.

I couldn't interject, so I just sat dry.

In the morning, when I asked the guys to leave, I still had some doubts in my heart, didn't I just invite Zhuochenzi to have a meal, and I still need to leave the whole day's business behind? At that time, I was still thinking, maybe I was planning to take the scorching dust to take a walk around Bohai Bay and learn about the local customs.

It wasn't until after the meal started that I didn't know that it was practical, but it actually had a deeper meaning.

This burning dust, when you don't drink alcohol, it's okay, as long as the liquor is in the stomach, it becomes sticky and sticky endlessly, a meal, from morning to evening, after eating the fire, practical and fried at noon, stewed iron pot fish at night, burning dust said endlessly, eat endlessly, drink endlessly, until a pound of liquor is drunk, he completely drank himself, this meal can be regarded as an end.

As early as before Zhuochenzi came, I went to Uncle Wan's store to buy a roast duck, almost noon, seeing that the fire had been eaten, and the practical had not yet begun to stir-fry, Zhuochenzi's eyes were sharp, and he saw the oily paper bag placed next to the stove, and asked me what was in it, I said it was roast duck, and he was not polite, so he grabbed it and gave it to him.

When Burning Dust tore open the oiled paper bag, both I and Practical were nervous.

After all, Mr. Chi is still working as a helper in the roast duck restaurant, and the roast duck may also be stained with his taste, but he is afraid that if the bag is torn like this, the burning dust will find abnormalities.

Fortunately, this guy was really drunk, and he didn't notice anything wrong.

It seems to me that a potential storm has just been obscured.

If I'm not mistaken, it was about nine o'clock in the evening that I walked out of the store with the scorching dust on my back and guided by the practical.

Walking to the cash box near the door, Practical suddenly stopped, and then began to search on the burning dust.

He rummaged through several pockets to no avail, and finally ripped open the collar of the scorching dust and reached into the inner pocket buried near his chest.

Zhuo Chenzi was already unconscious, but at this time, he quickly raised his hand and grabbed his pocket, insisting on not letting him do it.

This guy hasn't slept since the beginning.

Practical tried a few times but couldn't put his hand in this pocket, and finally he was a little anxious: "Paying for meals is justified!" Loosen! ”

Zhuo Chenzi spread his fingers sullenly, and muttered: "Not righteous." ”

Practical ignored him, directly took out five big red bills, and stuffed them into the cash box.

I guess it's touched, Zhuo Chenzi is not only stingy, but also very fond of taking advantage, obviously he didn't sleep to death, but he didn't get off my back, I just carried him on his back for five or six kilometers, and people didn't even say thank you.

When I first got out of the alley, I wanted to drive, but Shishi shook his head at me and pointed to my license plate.

That seems to mean that I can't let Burning Dust see my license plate number.

I asked Shiyi where he wanted to send Zhuochenzi, and Shiyi said, out of the grain bureau compound to the left, after five intersections, there is a chain hotel, the price is not high, and breakfast is served, let Zhuochenzi deal with it there tonight.

In this way, I walked a full five intersections with the burning dust on my back, and when I saw that I was approaching the hotel, he suddenly opened his eyes and asked practically: "Am I wrong?" ”

Practical glanced at him with slanted eyes, but did not speak.

Zhuo Chenzi said again: "Over the years, I have done so many things just to correct the name of Chiyun Peak, is this wrong? Why can't everyone in the industry look down on me, practical, tell me, how did I offend them? ”

Practical frowned, and slowly spit out: "You have gone too far." ”

After saying that, Practical patted me on the shoulder and motioned for me not to stop.

Zhuochenzi had obviously woken up just now, but when he entered the hotel gate and saw the cashier standing behind the counter, he tilted his head again and began to pretend to be asleep.

Practical saw that he was not in the right state, so he hurriedly got started, and took out his ID card and wallet from Zhuochenzi's pocket, Zhuochenzi was still clutching his pocket, but this time Practical was ruthless, Zhuochenzi couldn't block it, and when the wallet was taken out, they were all twisted by the two of them, but fortunately, the ID card was not broken.

After preparing the information and paying the deposit, I threw the scorching dust on the sofa in the hall, came over with a practical lunge, threw the wallet on the scorching dust, and then pulled me away quickly.

As I walked out of the hotel, I looked back into the lobby and saw Scorching Dust staggering up from the couch, holding his wallet and key card, and groping his way in the direction of the elevator.

Seeing him like this, I couldn't help but smile, and asked me on the side, "What are you laughing at?" ”

I pointed to the door: "This guy is really interesting, as for the search like this?" ”

Practical didn't mean to laugh at all, just frowned and said, "When you see him again, be careful." ”

I asked a little puzzled, "After spending this day with him, I don't think he is a wicked person." ”

Practical shook his head: "He is a very obsessive person, I guess the next time we see him again, he will not be so amiable." ”

I sensed something in the practical words, so I asked, "Could it be that he has already noticed the anomaly?" ”

Practical: "Not yet. Zhuo Chenzi is a smart man, and when he wakes up and thinks about today's events carefully, he will still see some problems. ”

I said, "You mean, that roast duck I bought from Master Wan's house......"

Without waiting for me to finish, Practical waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with roast duck." If not, think about it carefully, when we came out of the grain bureau compound tonight, was there anything abnormal. ”

I carefully recalled the scene when I left the compound, and soon understood the practical meaning: "The roast duck restaurant is closed!" ”

That's right, it's the roast duck restaurant that's closed. As soon as the store closes, Uncle Wan will definitely leave the compound with Mr. Chi, and as soon as they leave, the demonic spirit in the courtyard will disperse.

Practical turned his head, his eyes passed through the window pane behind him, and landed on the sofa in the hotel hall, he frowned, and asked slowly: "I have to inform the old fox quickly and let him leave Bohai Bay as soon as possible." ”

"It's useless, I persuaded him this morning, but he won't go. It's really not good, I think I'll blow him away. ”

Practical first nodded, but after a short while, he grabbed my wrist and shook his head again: "No, the old fox still has the curse mark of Chiyun Peak on his body, even if we blow him away, Lao Li will still find him." Forget it, let him stay first, maybe staying in Bohai Bay will be safer for him. ”

I said, "Sixth Uncle, didn't you say it before, don't you care about other people's affairs, why are you ...... now?"

Practical sighed: "I also didn't expect that after so many years, Lao Li has not changed at all." He is too obsessed, and if he continues like this, he will hurt himself after all. ”

"Sixth uncle, I think...... You'd better go and persuade the scorching dust. After all, the old fox has lived for so many years, and his nature is not bad, and the burning dust took its life for no reason, I am afraid that it will damage the merit. ”

Practical or shook his head: "That's a thousand-year-old fox, the fox has been cultivated for thousands of years, it must be caused by the creation of heaven and earth, killing it, not to mention the loss of merit." But Lao Li is too obsessed, and it is not something we can persuade to come back. Alas, don't think about it, go back, get a good night's sleep, you have to catch the morning market tomorrow. ”

I said, "You can't just leave it alone!" ”

"Leave it alone." As he spoke, he walked towards the road, took two steps, stopped again, turned his head and said to me, "Recently, the second master may contact you." ”

Why did you suddenly mention the second master again? The practical thinking jumped too much, and I really couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

At this time, I heard him say again: "In the past few days, if the second master calls you, don't answer, he sends you a text message, and you don't reply." From tomorrow onwards, we won't go back to the rental house, and we'll stay in the store at night. ”

"Huh? Why? ”

Practical didn't respond, turned around and left.

I stood there for a moment, but finally took a step and followed.

That night, Practical packed up his luggage and was ready to fight a protracted battle in the store, watching him busy all night, I was very puzzled, but I asked him what he planned, and he didn't give a clear word, just let me think about it myself.

In the next few days, the compound of the grain bureau was still the same as before, the demonic spirit was still so heavy, and there were still so many guests, but since that night of drunkenness, the burning dust has not appeared again.

I will go to Uncle Wan's roast duck restaurant from time to time to take a look, Mr. Chi is still clumsy all day long, either hitting the basin or dropping the bowl, Uncle Wan sees it in his eyes and is annoyed in his heart, but he has no intention of driving Mr. Chi away.

One morning, I entered the compound with a bunch of ingredients, and saw Mr. Chi wandering at the mouth of the alley again, this time Mr. Practical directly took away a few boxes of vegetables in my arms and asked me to ask about the situation.
