Chapter 36: The Second Encounter I
And so the night passed.
The next day, when the sky was bright, Chu He got up and washed up and opened the store. Outside the door, the streets are constantly filled with people, with food vendors shouting and shouting, and the smell wafting through the streets.
"The weather is nice. ”
After standing outside the door and taking a few breaths of fresh air, Boss Chu turned around and returned to the counter with a smile, and sat there to start the day's business.
It's been a few months since it opened here, and although it's not as famous, it's at least in this small area.
No, not long after the door opened, there were already guests walking in.
"It turned out to be Li Gongzi, welcome welcome. ”
Chu He stood up and greeted him with a smile.
The person who came was a young and handsome boy, with a little blood-red cinnabar-like mark on the center of his eyebrows, which looked a little girly, but his cultivation was really good.
The bone age is only less than twenty, but his cultivation has reached the fifth level of perfection, and he is about to achieve the sixth level of God and Demon Realm.
This boy is a regular customer of his shop, a native of Sky City. I've been here a few times, and I've bought a lot of pills for cultivation, and the types are very miscellaneous, and it can be seen that he is in a bottleneck, so he buys a lot of types, and wants to see if he can try his luck through the pills.
"The shopkeeper is polite. Brother Gongzi clasped his hands into fists, walked in, looked at the shelf, and said, "I've tried those kinds of pills recently, I don't know if there are other types here?"
"It disappointed Li Gongzi. Boss Chu shook his head slightly, "All the types of pills in the small store are on the shelves, and there are no new categories for the time being." ”
"Hey~"
When Brother Gongzi heard this, he sighed softly, he just came here to try his luck, before coming here, he had already run to many shops, but basically, he had taken the pills in those stores, and the effect was unsatisfactory.
"It seems that it is impossible to break through as soon as possible, or can only look at chance and time......"
He really wanted to break through his cultivation as soon as possible, and for this reason, he tried all kinds of methods, pills, secret methods, and treasures...... I don't know how much I used.
Not only the city in the sky, but also other small and big cities around him, he has run through.
As a result, except for the pills, which can have obvious effects in a short period of time, the others are not good, and the various types of pills are taken too much, and gradually ...... The effect was greatly reduced, which was also the reason why he was constantly looking for new types of pills.
This boy obviously belongs to that kind of ...... People who are anxious are too anxious and want to break through too much.
Level 5 to level 6 is a threshold, whether it is difficult to say or not, whether it is easy or not, in addition to accumulation, it also depends on that trace of chance.
However, this brother also understands this, but he is still so anxious, it is estimated that he also has his own unspeakable secrets, and in this regard, Chu He does not want to meddle in things.
Just as I was chatting with this old customer, there was another sound of footsteps outside the door.
"My lord, this shop ...... It is recorded that it has not been opened for a long time, but we have sent someone to investigate, and the origin of the shopkeeper is very clear, and there is nothing unusual. ”
Before the person arrived, the voice sounded faintly.
Chu He in the store paused slightly, and the corners of his mouth also hooked a secret smile.
"It doesn't hurt to see. ”
The visitor said, and soon stepped into the store.
Walking in front was a round old man with a respectful face, and behind him, a handsome young man in a moon-white robe.
These two people are none other than the old butler of the City Lord's Mansion and the 'Meng'a'.
"Young Master Li is also here?"
As soon as the old housekeeper walked into the store, he saw Li Gongzi, who was talking to Boss Chu, and immediately recognized him.
"Lord Ning?"
That Li Gongzi was also stunned, and immediately, bowed slightly to the old housekeeper Ning De.
This Ningde, although only a housekeeper, ...... But on behalf of the face of the City Lord's Mansion, don't talk about him, even if his father meets him, he must be polite, he naturally does not dare to slack off.
But......
How could the steward of the City Lord's Mansion ...... to a strange young man So respectful?
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but glance at the young man behind Ning De, just one glance made his whole body agitated, as if he had seen an abyss giant beast, and he was covered in cold sweat.
Terrible.
It's terrifying.
He didn't know who it was, but he also knew that the glance he had just now must have been discovered, so he could only bite the bullet and salute the young man, "Meet your lordship." ”
"Yes. ”
Meng A didn't care about the person in front of him, and after nodding slightly, he focused his attention on the shop and on the big boss Chu.
"Welcome two adults. ”
At this time, Boss Chu greeted him with a smile, and his voice seemed to be very respectful, so that people couldn't find any fault.
As for that Li Gongzi...... Now it's not standing, it's not walking, it's embarrassing.
"Are you the shopkeeper of this shop?"
Nameng'a looked at Chu He, his eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly, Chu He felt a wave of coercion coming from him, and immediately, he deliberately took a few steps back, showing a shocked face.
Mona frowned.
"I heard that the shopkeeper opened a shop here two or three months ago, where was he from before?"
"Fengnan Castle ......"
Chu He replied, with a look of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes.
And this look was just seen by Mong'a, and for this reason, his brows were furrowed even deeper.
"Fengnan City?"
What kind of place is this, he naturally hasn't heard of it, and the old housekeeper Ning De on the side saw this, and immediately explained it and told him the location of the southern city of Meng'afon.
It's just that Ningde's heart is also bitter.
This guest of honor in the central temple always made him feel ...... My heart was pounding, I don't know why, there was always a sense of danger.
The old butler had always trusted his instincts, and over the years, relying on this intuition, he had climbed to this position without knowing how many disasters he had avoided.
However, he had to obey his master's orders.
Today is just the beginning, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow...... As long as this VIP is in the city for a day, he will accompany him for a day, and his heart is naturally very bitter.
No one understands the old butler's thoughts.
In-store.
After glancing at Chu He a few times, Nameng'a asked again: "Do you remember the flea gang of shopkeepers?" I heard that when the shopkeeper first came, he ...... There was a conflict with the Flea Gang, but this is the case?"
"Yes. ”
Chu He didn't understand anything, nodded, and then explained the cause and effect, these words, of course, are not to lie to him, and there is no need to deceive, after all, if these things want to be investigated, they can be investigated.
Moreover, it does not prove anything at all.
Chu He's answer was almost exactly the same as the information he had obtained in his heart, and naturally, there was nothing to gain.
After taking a few more glances at the shop, Meng A nodded slightly at Boss Chu, "Disturb the shopkeeper." ”
"Steward Ning, let's go!"
"Alas!" replied the old butler, and as Mona prepared to leave.
Just as he stepped out of the threshold, Mona suddenly turned around and asked coldly, "Shopkeeper, why did you kill the 'Flea Gang'?"
"Huh?"
Chu He looked puzzled, his eyes slightly confused.
Seeing this, Meng Ah shook his head coldly, "Let's go, go to the next one." ”
"Yes, sir. ”
The old housekeeper wiped the cold sweat on his head and led the way, "The next one is also three months ago, and a restaurant on the other side of Central Avenue seems to have had friction with the distribution of flea gangs......
The two drifted apart, and soon disappeared into the road.
