The alley is not long.

Huai Shi walked for two minutes and came to the end, but he seemed to have been intercepted.

Without warning, a pale hand reached out from behind him and pressed his shoulder, and Huai Shi looked back in amazement to see the girl standing in the shadow of the corner.

Dressed in a white dress, her long hair spilled down her shoulders like black water.

Also wearing a mask.

It seems like I'm looking for help.

"I'm sorry. Huai Shi was a little embarrassed: "I didn't see you just now." ”

Indeed, she hid it too well, and Huai Shi herself was shocked.

"Is there anything you can help with?" asked Huai Shi.

As if it was the first time someone had been asked such a question, the girl was stunned for a moment, and her eyes were looking at him as if she were looking at a fool.

Then, suddenly, she asked, "Am I pretty?"

Suddenly......

Huai Shi looked at her, thinking about it, she looked quite good, but wearing a mask, it was difficult to say.

But soon, she seemed to sense that something was wrong, squinted her eyes, looked down at Huai Shi's chest, and then saw a faint emblem that appeared on her clothes at some point.

It's a small lute.

The girl frowned, and quickly, reacted, bowed slightly and said, "Excuse me", and turned to leave.

"Uh, wait a minute. ”

Huai Shi called out to her, and the girl turned around, looking at him with cold and puzzled eyes.

Huai Shi was also a little embarrassed by that kind ......of look, and after snorting for a long time, she sighed: "Although it is not good to be so direct when we meet for the first time, but you have already asked, I can't help it."

He reached out and pointed to her forehead.

"If you have dry skin that can't use this foundation, you're going to have a breakout. ”

“......”

Benefiting from the teachings and ears of a certain cowherd, today's Huai Shi is guilty of this set of thieves, and his tone is also lamented because of this: "Your skin is really good, it's a pity, how do you do your skin care?"

“......”

The girl seemed to be stunned and froze in place, only Huai Shi continued to teach her experience: "If you have time, how about you try the essence of MKII when you go back?" I wonder if you can buy it here...... However, you can't wash your face too often with this type of skin, so you should pay attention to it in the future. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly took a step back, carefully looking at the stunned girl in front of him from beginning to end.

Finally, the gaze fell on her face, and she frowned.

I always felt that something was not right.

Looked at by that harsh gaze, the girl didn't know why, and subconsciously wanted to dodge, wanted to hide her face in the shadows, and wanted to turn away.

"Stand still. ”

Huai Shi's tone became serious, and then, a cold knife light burst out from his hand, stepped forward, and flashed.

The bangs, which were originally a little excessive, were instantly shortened, and they stopped on top of their eyebrows, revealing a pair of big eyes that were a little panicked.

Immediately after, Huai Shi's movements swept swiftly, left and again, and then trimmed.

It's all worked.

He took a step back, looked at his work with satisfaction, and waved away the sword.

"That's right!"

He nodded with satisfaction, pinched a piece of brilliant iron and came out, wiped it on his clothes, and handed it to the stunned girl in front of him: "Look at it, a face like yours would look better with a Ji hairstyle...... Just now, I always felt that something was not right, and the bangs were too long. ”

The girl was stunned and looked at herself in disbelief, her big black eyes trembling, unable to speak.

"Now, it's a little prettier than before. ”

In this way, the young man solemnly answered her question.

I don't know why, she couldn't help but lower her head, feeling a little hot on her cheeks under the mask.

"Alright, I'm going to go too, goodbye. ”

Huai Shi turned around, waved his hand and said, "It's late, I heard that it's quite dangerous outside, so I have to go home early." ”

He had only taken two steps when he heard some nervous voices behind him.

"Wait, wait......"

"Huh?"

The girl lowered her head and rubbed the corners of her clothes with her fingers subconsciously: "Night, night is coming, if you don't dislike it, can you come to my house to rest......?"

Huai Shi was stunned for a moment, and heard an embarrassing voice coming from her stomach.

Sure enough, some were hungry.

“...... Is that okay?"

He was a little embarrassed.

It's the first time to be a barber at the head of the village, is there still such a benefit?

"You are a guest approved by Raden-sama, so you have to be. ”

As if afraid that he would regret it, the girl took the lead, one step ahead, and looked back at him: "Please follow me." ”

"Ah, okay. ”

Huai Shi followed behind, only to remember that he didn't introduce himself: "By the way, my name is Huai Shi, a native of Dongxia, what do you call me?"

"Hemp, linen. ”

The girl who walked in front of her newspaper her name: "You can call me Mai." ”

"Okay. ”

Huai Shi walked behind her and followed her on the way home.

.

Unexpectedly, the place was not far, and after walking two hundred meters, it was there.

An ordinary-looking one-family building, with a small courtyard, and a place to park, but I didn't see a car, so I should have driven away.

"The dwelling is simple, please don't care. ”

Somewhat ashamed, she walked through the dusty doorway with Huaishi, she pushed open the door and shouted inside, "Grandma, I'm back." ”

"Mai came back so early today. A kind voice rang out from the kitchen, and walked briskly in the direction of the hallway. It was an old woman, wearing a gray Yingzhou local costume, with her hair coiled up, looking meticulous.

But his face was full of wrinkles, which made people a little frightened.

Seeing Huai Shi beside Mai, he was stunned for a moment: "Oh, did you bring a guest......?"

"Yes, it's Raden-sama's guest, I happened to meet it, just, just ......"

Mai lowered her head, dodging the old man's eyes, and subconsciously wanted to hide her hairstyle. The old man seemed to understand something, his eyes wandered between the two, and soon, he greeted Huai Shi warmly.

"Why are you still stunned, don't you invite guests to sit down?"

She bent down and handed Huai Shi a pair of slippers, and after inviting Huai Shi to sit down in the middle of the living room, Mai brought tea up, and it didn't seem to be tea leaves, but Huai Shi smelled with a strong fragrance of flowers.

"Please make this your home. ”

The old man said enthusiastically, "When we were in the secluded world, Lord Luodian Ji has always taken care of our family...... Today is the time to repay the kindness, so please do not refuse. ”

"Oh, okay. ”

Did the lady Luodian they were talking about seem to be the woman who played the pipa? Huai Shi vaguely reacted, she seemed to be treated as a distinguished guest because of her?

Okay.

Not only was there a place to sleep, but there was also a free dinner to eat.

He couldn't wait.

Hearing the voice in Huaishi's stomach, the old man smiled kindly: "It just so happens that Mai's father has just sent fresh meat back and can entertain guests, please wait a ......."

With that, she got up and stooped over to the huge box in the hallway.

Reaching out, lightly lifting the top buckle, he walked into the kitchen.

Huai Shi's eyes popped out.

Have a lot of strength, auntie!

Such a big box, at least enough for one person, can be picked up casually......

As he passed, the box shook violently, as if someone was struggling, and with a bang, a man who was trapped solidly forced the lid from the inside and struggled out.

It was so miserable to be beaten.

The nose is blue and the face is swollen.

There was also a torn towel stuffed in his mouth, and he looked completely embarrassed.

How is that a bit like that......

"Original photos?"

Huai Shi looked down at the boy in disbelief: "Why are you!"

He still remembered this little brother who was several years younger than himself.

Although it seems that the second middle school is very serious, and he is in a daze at every turn, as if he has a brain problem, but after all, there is some friendship.

I didn't expect that after the last time the art museum parted, the two would meet in this situation.

Let's just say that fate is so amazing.

"Mmmm

Yuan Zhao's eyes widened, and he struggled to make a faint sound, although he couldn't speak, but the meaning was indeed revealed-little white face, what kind of excitement are you watching, save me! Otherwise, the master will definitely tear you apart!

"Oops......"

The old man looked at Huai Shi in astonishment, "Do you know each other?"

"I don't know the child, I don't know who raised it...... Huai Shi picked up the teacup indifferently, and made a suggestion by the way: "It looks better to fry it, it's better to cut it finely, so it's crispy." ”

"Uh-huh!!! hmm!

Hara's eyes widened and she hissed as hard as she could, tears coming out of her eyes.

Big brother, I was wrong! I don't dare anymore! My brother pulls me, pulls me...... Don't eat me!!

Seeing that he had accepted the lesson, Huai Shi put down the teacup and said respectfully to the old man: "It was a joke just now, madam, this is a lost friend of mine, can you please let him go?"

To be honest, he didn't know if the old man would sell his face.

Hearing him say this, the old woman suddenly became embarrassed: "This is rare fresh meat, although you say so, but ...... Wouldn't it be unreasonable if the guests only served porridge when they came to the door?"

"It's okay, I've been a vegetarian lately. ”

Huai Shi smiled and said, "If you don't mind, how about I come to cook? Don't look like this, I'm also a trainee chef." ”

As if incredulous, the old man looked at him in astonishment, for a long time, and nodded hesitantly.

"Since this is the case, for the sake of the distinguished guest's face, the old body is not easy to say. The old man said, "But when you cook, be sure to ask the old man to help too." ”

Hara, breathed a sigh of relief.

Tears poured down his face, and he couldn't cry anymore.

At this moment, there was a hoarse moaning sound from upstairs, through the thick wooden plank, which could not be heard clearly, as if someone was shouting someone. The old woman frowned, raised her head and scolded angrily: "Shut up, dead old man! There are guests at home! Don't lose the face of the Hirata family!"

In the upstairs room, there was a brief pause in the moaning, and then a muffled voice came again: "Eat...... ...... eating"

"Looks like everyone is hungry. ”

Huai Shi got up, rolled up her sleeves, and asked, "Where is the kitchen?" I have recently conceived a lot of new dishes, although I dare not say how delicious they are, but I am right to be full. ”

The old man was surprised and led Huai Shi to the kitchen.

Only Mai, who was forgotten by her grandmother and her guests at the same time, sat resentfully in place, almost crying aggrievedly, and saw the original photo next to her that was still tied up and kept making a faint sound, her brows furrowed, and she was a little disgusted.

Immediately, she bent down and asked earnestly:

"Am I pretty?"

“......”
