O'skester shop, a rather extraordinary shop. This shop is a shop that buys and sells demons. The proprietress is a gorgeous Huaxin woman. Although she is only a woman, she is an excellent demon hunter. Parenthesis: Currently single.
Some people may wonder why this proprietress is so beautiful, but she remains single in the year of Huaxin? This is certainly not without reason.
Smack-
The proprietress in the blue shirt and black dress stepped on the bench with one foot and drew a mahjong card: "Whiteboard!" ”
"Huh." The man on the opposite side pushed the card: "Big three!" ”
"Holy!" The boss blurted out a string of dirty words angrily: "Your mother XO~!@##$%^&%......"
Although the man was accustomed to the boss's swearing, he still frowned and said, "Boss, if you are willing to gamble and lose, what kind of ability is scolding." ”
"I love it! You have to take care of it! The proprietress scolded and took out the money bag from her pocket, and threw a piece of broken silver over in distress: "Come again!" ”
"Nope." The man took the money, but shook his head, and said, "It's getting late, I'm going to find an inn, so that I don't end up on the streets at night." ”
"What kind of inn are you looking for, it's not that there is no bed at the old lady's house." The proprietress suddenly had a little more spring in her eyes, and threw a wink at the man: "Accompany the old lady to play mahjong, and you will have the benefit of the night." ”
Don't blame the proprietress for being spring, it's actually the man opposite who is a beautiful man who is hard to find in the world. At the age of twenty-five or sixteen, dressed in a white scholar's outfit, he looks gentle and elegant, but he has a tall and generous body, and unbelievably delicate facial features. If you walk on the street, you will definitely attract countless big girls and little daughters-in-law.
Although this man is dressed as a scholar, he is a demon hunter, and he is a demon hunter who is as high as eight dollars, and he has a close friendship with the proprietress of the big charge shop, and it is a fixed cooperative relationship.
In addition, this man's surname is on the left, and the word is small on the right.
That's right, a traverser.
Zuo Xiaoright comes from 2015 in the 21st century, a horizontal drift of both parents and a 10,000-year-old trick of the crew. His journey through is very uneventful, that is, after a busy day's work, when he goes home to sleep, he opens his eyes and comes to this world.
It was a completely different world from his previous life. Once upon a time, humans coexisted with all things, including demons. But people want to monopolize the world, so people declare war on the demons, drive them into the deep mountains and Daze, and from then on the people and demons demarcate the boundary and rule.
When Zuo Xiaoyou just learned about the background of this world, he thought of a movie "Monster Hunt" that he had just watched not long ago.
Especially after becoming the only descendant of the old heavenly master, he followed the old heavenly master to subdue demons and subdue demons everywhere, and after seeing more monsters, this perception became stronger and stronger, and finally determined that this world was the world of "Monster Hunt". It's just that it seems to have traveled a little early, a long, long time before the beginning of the movie's plot.
It's been a really long time, he followed the Heavenly Master to learn all kinds of spells, learned for a full thirty years, and then successfully took the Heavenly Master ...... Survived.
The old master is a lone demon hunting master, no door and no faction, but he has profound mana and many spells, and it took him a full thirty years to learn all his skills.
Of course, the Heavenly Master was not boiled to death by him, in fact, the senior Heavenly Masters in this world all practiced the art of immortality, and the Heavenly Master was one of the Heavenly Masters standing at the top, and it was okay to live forever. However, the Heavenly Master has a bad heart, and after his relatives and friends are all dead, he feels that immortality is not a good thing at all, and what is the meaning of living alone in the world alone?
So after finding the heir of Zuo Xiaoyou and teaching him a skill, he transferred a body of mana to him and died. Although Zuo Xiaoyou was very sad, the Heavenly Master walked away with a smile. It can be seen that he died happily.
However, Zuo Xiaoyou felt that the Heavenly Master was just too bored to live, so he would live a crooked life and die of merit. If it was him, he would definitely not think that he would have a long life.
That's what he thinks, and that's what he proves. In the next hundred years, the left and the right side subdued demons and subdued demons, honing mana; While reading, writing poems, painting, and playing the piano, he cultivated his sentiments.
For more than 100 years, he has not been bored, but because he has enough youth and longevity, he can enjoy the fun of life to the fullest.
Zuo Xiaoyou is a young man who has experienced the cruelty of reality, but his heart is very literary and artistic, and the biggest characteristic of literary and artistic youth is that as long as there are good books to read, no amount of time is enough.
Zuo Xiaoyou proved this, and he spent more than a hundred years of his time studying in addition to honing his mana. This can be seen from the fact that he is dressed as a scholar and always carries two books in the sleeves of his wide robe.
Unlike ordinary readers, ordinary readers have been reading for seventy or eighty years at most from the day they became literate until they died, but Zuo Xiaoyou has lived for one hundred and fifty years, and in these hundred and fifty years, there are 120 years of reading alone. If you add the thirty years of his previous life, the time is even longer.
If you live for a long time, you will read a lot of books, and you will conquer demons and subdue demons and walk the world, and you will have a lot of knowledge. So it's hard to hide his talent, since the demon in the world was almost killed ten years ago, there is really no work to do, Zuo Xiaoyou settled in Zuojiazhuang, sixty miles outside the city of Shuntianfu, and there was always a matchmaker at home to say goodbye, and the threshold of the family was broken four or five pieces.
No way, good-looking, talented, rich, and very single, who doesn't like those unmarried ladies in the boudoir? But the left, the small and the right all refused. The reason is very simple, ordinary people can't live forever, maybe they can enjoy the sweetness of love and marriage within ten years, but once a woman is old, happiness will turn into tragedy.
His master had already set the most intuitive example for him, so he decided from the beginning that he would not be in emotional debt for the rest of his life. Fortunately, this world is in the feudal period, and there is a legal Qinglou, which allows him to release some accumulated desires anytime and anywhere. It is a romantic thing for a scholar to visit the Qinglou, and in this era, not only no one scolds him, but everyone praises it. Because the world is very much looking forward to the situation where the reader drinks and has fun in the Qinglou, and then leaves a poem for the ages, that is the taste.
Thanks to this era, Zuo Xiaoyou has spent a very good decade.
But also in this decade, he was entangled by the proprietress of this big charge shop.
It's funny to say that the proprietress of this big betting shop was also a daughter who fell in love with him back then, so she asked a matchmaker to come to her door to say goodbye, but after being mercilessly rejected by Zuo Xiaoyou, instead of giving up, she kept pestering, and even ran to his village every day regardless of secular etiquette, wanting to create an established fact, so as to marry him.
In the face of such a persistent little girl, Zuo Xiaoyou reluctantly revealed his identity as a demon hunter, and at the same time showed that he was immortal, and if he married a wife, he could only watch her grow old and die day by day in the future, which was not what he wanted to see.
"You can teach me to cultivate!" The little girl did not give up and said, "I am also immortal, and we can be together forever." ”
But Zuo Xiaoyou refused, not because she didn't want to be a pair of immortal couples with him, but because she was too old, she had already passed the best cultivation age, and her qualifications were average, even if she cultivated to death, it was impossible to live forever.
Although in the end, because of the little girl's unrelenting entanglement, Zuo Xiaoyou still passed on the cultivation method to her, and later the little girl even became a qualified demon hunter, but it was no more. She is still growing up day by day, from a fourteen-year-old girl to a woman in the prime of her life, without any signs of slowing down aging.
Two years ago, she died. Then he opened this big bet shop and became a reselling demon proprietress lady. And Zuo Xiaoyou has been entangled by him for many years, and it is not good to watch it, so from time to time he will go out to catch some evil demons that have broken into the world, and sell them to the boss lady cheaply, so that her life can be better.
In this era, women are basically married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and women who are not married at the age of twenty are like older leftover women in their last life, and they will be discriminated against. But the proprietress is not in the eyes of the unexpected world at all, and she is dedicated to running a big charge shop, and every time she comes to deliver goods, she will seduce him.
Zuo Xiaoyou knows what she is for, although she will refuse every time, but every time she sees her lost eyes, she will always feel unbearable. At this moment, in the face of the teasing words blurted out by the proprietress who seemed to be a hooligan, Zuo Xiaoyou was silent for a moment and said, "Okay! Under the surprised eyes of the proprietress, she smiled and said, "The proprietress should prepare a table of good wine and food." ”
"Hmm." A shocking scene appeared, the crazy lady-like proprietress actually showed the shyness of a lady in the boudoir, and scared the other two men who played mahjong and fell to the ground: "Old ...... When the proprietress is also feminine? ”
Hearing this, the proprietress suddenly turned from shyness to anger, pinched her waist with both hands, and shouted: "Look for death!" Fuck off the old lady! ”
Well, that's the familiar proprietress of the house. It was all an illusion just now.
The two mahjong players breathed a sigh of relief and fled amid the shouting and scolding of the proprietress .
When the two ran away, the proprietress immediately closed the door and took Zuo Xiaoyou to the hut behind the store. This cottage is the boudoir of the proprietress, and since she became a demon hunter, the proprietress has been kicked out of the house by her biological father and lives alone. Since opening the big shop, this has been the place where she works and lives. This is also one of the reasons why Zuo Xiaoyou feels guilty about it. is a good young lady, but because of his feelings, he fell into a helpless situation, how could he bear to turn a blind eye?
"You sit down first." Pulling Zuo Xiaoyou down and sitting down in the boudoir, the proprietress poured him a glass of water and said, "I'll go cook." ”
"Can you eat the food you cook?" Zuo Xiaoyou asked with a smile.
The proprietress rolled her eyes: "Poison can't kill you." ”
Left and right shrugged, drinking water, while watching the proprietress chop vegetables and cook. That skillful movement proves that she is still very good at cooking, but I don't know what the taste is?
Retracting his gaze, he glanced at the hut. The cottage was small, about ten square meters, and in addition to a wooden bed, there was a dresser, and a square wooden table.
In the middle of the hall connecting the cottage and the front hall of the shop, there is also a small storage room, which has been converted into a kitchen by the proprietress and is quite convenient for cooking on the fire.
After working for an hour, it got dark, four dishes and one soup were on the table, and there was a pot of good daughter Hong.
The proprietress wiped the sweat from her face and smiled, "Let's eat!" ”
Left and right picked the wick to make the lamp burn brighter, under the light of the lamp, the proprietress was flushed, as if she had some expectations for tonight.
Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly: "I didn't expect you, the eldest lady, to have this skill." ”
"Not anymore." The proprietress sat down on the other side of the table and said in a very calm tone: "After all, I have also caught demons, and I can only cook by myself in those years." ”
Zuo Xiaoyou regretted it a little when he heard it: "I shouldn't have taught you back then." ”
"Nope." The proprietress shook her head: "If you don't teach me, I'll be killed by a headlong hit." ”
“!!!” Zuo Xiaoyou looked at her in shock.
"I'm not laughing." The proprietress smiled slightly: "I was ready at the beginning, if you don't teach me, I don't need to live in the world, because I know how torturous the pain of lovesickness is." ”
“?” Left and right were stunned.
"Back then, my sister suffered from lovesickness, and eventually became ill with lovesickness, and Fanghua died early." The proprietress had a little more memories and sadness in her eyes, then came back to her senses, shook her head again and again, and said with a smile: "So I told myself that I must not follow my sister's old path." If you like someone, you have to catch up with him even if you try your best. ”
Pick up the flask and pour a glass for Zuo Xiaoyou: "If he doesn't want me, I'll die to show him." ”
Zuo Xiaoyou took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "So I saved your life invisibly." ”
"That's why I've waited until today." The proprietress poured herself a full glass, picked up the wine glass, and smiled: "Even if you can't be husband and wife, it's good to be able to look at you like this and have a night of joy." ”
"......" Zuo Xiaoyou silently picked up the wine glass, touched it lightly with the proprietress and the two drank the wine in the glass. Although Zuo Xiaoyou doesn't like to drink very much, this daughter is not very red, and her taste is mellow and sweet, which is very suitable for his appetite.
"Good wine." Zuo Xiaoyou exclaimed: "It's so mellow, I'm afraid it's been a few years!" ”
The proprietress poured the wine again with a smile and said, "This is the daughter red that my father buried for me back then, and I took it out after I was kicked out of the house." ”
"......" Zuo Xiaoyou sighed again: "I hurt you." ”
"Don't say that." The proprietress smiled: "It can only be said that creation makes people." If I had met you ten years earlier, maybe it wouldn't be what it is today. ”
Zuo Xiaoyou was silent for a moment and said, "It is said that if you eat the meat of the demon king, you can live forever." ”
The proprietress chuckled: "Don't be stupid, the demon king is protected by the demons, how can you catch him." He raised his glass again: "I don't want you to give me your life." ”
