Chapter 32: Small Talk
"If I said I miss you, would you hit me?" Zhan Dundun asked tentatively.
"What do you say?"
Liu Nanfeng still had a smile on his face, but Zhan Dundun sensed "malice".
So he smiled and said, "Actually, I want to come back to see Wen Hui, and of course I will meet you by the way." ”
"Wen Hui?" Liu Nanfeng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then remembered a long memory.
"Shen Wenhui?"
"Yes, it's Wen Hui, do you have any news of her?" Zhan Dundun looked at Liu Nanfeng expectantly.
Liu Nanfeng shook his head, if Zhan Dundun hadn't mentioned her, Liu Nanfeng would have almost forgotten such a person.
Shen Wenhui's parents and Liu Nanfeng's parents are colleagues in the same factory, and the two are also upstairs and downstairs, and the two have grown up together since childhood.
In the same year, the two went to kindergarten together, and until elementary school, the relationship between the two was not bad.
But when I was in junior high school, I gradually became estranged, and although it was the age when love first opened, I should like girls more.
But in those days, if a boy said a word more to a girl, he would attract the laughter of others, let alone play together, and felt that it was a very embarrassing thing.
After high school, the two were admitted to different high schools, and later moved away because of demolition, so there was no contact again.
However, in my impression, Zhan Zhongxiao seems to really like Shen Wenhui, and he always leaves a copy of the snacks brought back by his parents on a business trip, but at that time he was not very sensible, and he always relied on being familiar with Shen Wenhui to rob her of food.
"After all these years, are you still thinking about the match girl?" Liu Nanfeng was a little surprised.
Matchgirl is Shen Wenhui's nickname, in Liu Nanfeng's impression, she is tall and thin, and she still wears black-framed glasses all day long, so she is given such a nickname.
Of course, the nickname of willow strip is also due to her, mainly to fight back.
"How do you speak, a girl, you are a match girl all day long, how ugly is a match girl?"
"You're still protected? You still don't call me Willow Strip? Liu Nanfeng said speechlessly.
"That's different."
"What's the difference, you just get carried away, let me tell you, Stickgirl didn't look good when she was a child, and now she can still be good-looking? I'm really going to see you, and you're disappointed. ”
"It's my business to be disappointed or not, but are you really out of touch with her? No news at all? ”
Zhan Dundun didn't know why, he was a little happy and a little disappointed.
"There's really no contact, it's completely broken off after high school, but if you want to really find him, it's not impossible."
"Really?"
Zhan Dundun's eyes widened when he heard this, his face was full of joy, and he was inexplicably a little cute.
"Skewers."
At this moment, Zhang Dasheng came up with a full plate of barbecue.
"Drink something?" He asked, putting down the tray.
"Let's start with two beers." Zhan Dundun said first.
"Okay."
"Is there ice?"
"Absolutely."
"Then bring us ice, I just saw that you still have cold dishes here, and you will also bring us one."
Zhan Dundun, who was a little uncomfortable at first, slowly let go.
"Two mentions, are we going to finish drinking?"
To be honest, Liu Nanfeng is not very good at drinking, he got married after graduating from college, and his work is also at home to write books, there is no entertainment at all, and the number of times he drinks is even less, so the amount of alcohol has not been able to increase.
"Oh, this is what I drank alone, I didn't call for you, aren't you going to ride? I'm afraid you'll get drunk and fall into the river. ”
Zhan Dundun shook his fleshy belly, looking as a matter of course.
Liu Nanfeng opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, so he said for a long time: "Eat meat." ”
"Don't worry, you tell me first, how can I contact Wen Hui."
"Are you really?" Liu Nanfeng said in surprise.
Zhan Dundun said that just now, but in fact, he didn't take it seriously.
All the good things are just the impressions of childhood.
I haven't seen this for many years, the washing of time, the edification of society, now I don't know whether it's a person or a dog, and it's a bit unrealistic to talk about feelings as soon as I come up.
So Liu Nanfeng was just joking just now, but he didn't expect Zhan Dundun to chase after him, it seems that he is serious.
"Of course it's true, no matter what the result is, they are friends who haven't seen each other for many years, isn't it a happy thing to see each other again?"
"That's right, I just said that, because his parents and my parents were colleagues in the same factory, and there should still be a connection between them, I remember that when I was in college, my mother also mentioned it to me, saying that Match Girl - it's Wen Hui, Wen Hui was admitted to Xia Jing University."
"Xia Jing University." Zhan Dundun was a little surprised when he heard this.
"That's right, Wen Hui has been doing well in reading since she was a child, and you don't know it."
Zhan Dundun nodded, when Shen Wenhui took every exam in elementary school, she was either the first in the grade or the second in the grade.
The two parents of them did not compare Shen Wenhui with them.
After going to junior high school, the relationship with Shen Wenhui became weak, and it would be impossible without this reason.
"Here, cheers."
Zhan Dundun held a beer bottle and had to touch Liu Nanfeng.
And then tons and tons of bottles are empty, which is more neat than drinking water.
While drinking, the two of them talked about interesting stories from their childhood, and many of Liu Nanfeng forgot about it, but after Zhan Dundun mentioned it, they slowly remembered it again.
Neither of them mentioned the present, Liu Nanfeng didn't mention it, because he suspected that Zhan Dundun came to Jiangcheng for another purpose, and as for Shen Wenhui, he still had a skeptical attitude.
And Zhan Dundun didn't mention it because he felt that Liu Nanfeng should not be mixed well, after all, it was mixed to the point of delivering takeaways, so why poke a knife at him again.
So the two of them have quite a tacit understanding, talking about the past, not the present.
But even so, the two drank until more than ten o'clock, but Liu Nanfeng only drank two bottles of beer, and the rest was drunk by Zhan Zhongxiao alone.
"Brother Zhang, settle the bill."
Taking the opportunity of Zhan Dundun to go to the toilet, Liu Nanfeng was ready to settle the account.
"No, your friend has already given it."
"Huh?" Liu Nanfeng was a little surprised.
At this time, Zhan Dundun came back, and Liu Nanfeng said with some dissatisfaction: "I said that I invited you, why did you settle the account?" ”
"It's not easy for you to make money, next time."
"Who told you I don't have a good time making money? I'm not rich, but I'm not without money for a barbecue. ”
"I didn't mean that, you look at my mouth, I really can't speak, or this time it's mine, next time you come, I will definitely not rob it, I'm in Jiangcheng, and there will be more opportunities for dinner parties in the future." Zhan Dundun hurriedly said when he heard this.
Seeing him say this, Liu Nanfeng couldn't help it, he couldn't let Zhang Dasheng return the money, so he nodded and agreed.
"Get in the car, I'll take you back."
Liu Nanfeng pushed out the battery car parked on the side of the road.
"No, I'll take a taxi back by myself, and you don't have much electricity, right? Sending me back halfway through the road without electricity is also a trouble. ”
Hearing him say this, Liu Nanfeng didn't force it anymore.
"That's okay, then I'll go back first, and we'll contact you on WeChat."
"You've drunk, slow down on the road."
"Although I can't drink enough, two bottles of beer are not enough to drive the car into the river, but you yourself, drink two whole mentions, is it really okay? Why don't I send you home first? ”
"You look like I'm in trouble?" Zhan Dundun patted his belly, and there was a Q bomb.
"Okay, then I'll go back first."
"Okay, stay safe." Zhan Dundun waved his hand.
Liu Nanfeng was no longer polite and rode away on a battery car.
Seeing Liu Nanfeng leaving, Zhan Dundun turned around and walked back.
And Liu Nanfeng, who he thought was far away, stopped the battery car and watched this scene from afar.
"Senpai."
Zhan Dundun came to Zhang Dasheng and called out respectfully.
"What's it called?" Zhang Dasheng asked without raising his head.
"Zhan Zhongxiao."
"Jen?"
Zhang Dasheng raised his head when he heard this, revealing a look of surprise.
"Who are you Zhan Guoliang?"
"It's my dad." Zhan Zhongxiao hurriedly said.
When Zhang Dasheng heard this, his attitude was obviously much better.
"Come in and sit."
"Okay."
Hearing this, Zhan Dundun obediently walked to the side and sat down.
"Do seniors know my dad?"
"How strange, there are so many demon clans with names and surnames in the country, and how many pandas with the surname Zhan are there?"
"I met your dad many years ago, but why did you come to Jiangcheng? And do you know Koyanagi? ”
"When I was in elementary school, I stayed in Jiangcheng for a while, and I was a classmate of Liu Nanfeng at that time."
Zhang Dasheng was a little stunned when he heard this, it should have been more than ten years ago, and he hadn't come to Jiangcheng at that time.
"Seeing that your Taoism is not high, but your cultivation is not low, I think there is a master who can give you the method of empowerment."
Zhan Dundun showed a slightly bitter smile when he heard this.
"This era is the best era for the demon clan, and it is also the most difficult era."
Zhang Dasheng was silent when he heard this, only the grease stains on the skewers on his hands dripped on the charcoal and made a sizzling sound.
The reason why Zhan Zhongxiao said this is because today's society is a rare society that allows people and demons to coexist, unlike shouting and killing like in the past.
However, many years ago, the heavens and the earth changed suddenly, the way of heaven was not obvious, and it was difficult for the heavens and the earth to naturally give birth to demons.
On the contrary, with the growth of population, materialistic desires are rampant, and the devil is increasing day by day, devouring souls and causing chaos in the world.
"What are you coming to Jiangcheng for?" Zhang Dasheng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked.
Zhan Dundun didn't answer this question when he heard this, but Zhang Dasheng already knew it in his heart.
"The water in Jiangcheng is very deep, although your cultivation is not low, but the Tao is too shallow, I don't know what you Lao Tzu thinks......"
Zhang Dasheng's words suddenly couldn't go on, because the one who can help Zhang Zhongxiao with the empowerment method must be his elders and relatives, and the biggest possibility is his son Zhan Guoliang.
"If it's not necessary, go back and forth, or don't wade into this troubled water"
In the end, Zhang Dasheng still persuaded him with good words.
"The seniors are laughing, I'm just joining in the fun, and I'll see it."
"If only that were the case."
Zhang Dasheng glanced at him, obviously not believing his words.
Zhan Dundun also showed a cute smile.
"I hate it when you panda people laugh like that." Zhang Dasheng turned his head away from him.
"Senior, if it's okay, I'll go back first."
"Let's go, let's go." Zhang Dasheng didn't raise his head.
Zhan Dundun got up and wanted to leave, but suddenly remembered something, turned around and said: "Senior, Liu Nanfeng and I are just ordinary friends, and we don't know my identity, if something happens, I hope you don't get him involved." ”
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Zhang Dasheng raised his head, looked at him with a strange expression, and then nodded slowly.
…………
"I'm back." Liu Nanfeng opened the door and shouted habitually.
Su Jinxiu heard the sound and walked out of the study.
She was wearing a set of sky blue pajamas and looked very cool and breathable.
"Drinking a lot of bars?" She sniffed.
"Not much, just two beers."
"That's not much, but what's small? Was the relationship good before? Have you not been in touch for a long time? I haven't seen you for so long, why only drink this? Su Jinxiu reached out and took the helmet in Liu Nanfeng's hand.
It seems to be a casual inquiry, but it is actually very particular.
First of all, I asked him what he was, whether the relationship was good, and why he hadn't seen him for so long?
Liu Nanfeng didn't think about it so much, and when he saw her asking, he explained everything one by one.
At the end, I remembered that Zhan Dundun was a panda demon.
Since he already knew Su Jinxiu's identity, he didn't need to hide it from her, and told her directly.
"Pandas? Last name Zhan? Su Jinxiu frowned slightly, as if she remembered something.
"Yes, the surname is Zhan, it shouldn't be an impostor, today I told him a lot of things when I was a child, and I can match them one by one, but wife, isn't it that it's difficult to transform into a monster, and it's only one year old in a hundred years? I think Zhan Dundun is quite normal. ”
"One hundred years old is talking about a monster with the blood of the dragon clan, which is a relatively special existence in the monster race, and the growth period is relatively long, but the strength is very strong when it becomes an adult."
"In addition to the dragon clan, there are also some other special bloodlines with a relatively slow growth period, all of which are the same, and after ordinary monsters transform into shapes, the growth stage is actually not much different from that of humans, that is, the lifespan is longer."
"So, do you have a special bloodline? If we give birth to a baby, it's no problem like Zhan Zhongxiao. ”
"Although my bloodline is not special, but the premise is to transform into a shape, is it easy for you to transform into a shape? Your little hair can maintain your human form, it should be someone who gave up his own cultivation and gave him an empowerment to give birth to the form. ”
"Is empowerment dangerous?"
"Of course it's dangerous, the practitioner needs to give up his cultivation, not to mention the way of death, if he doesn't operate properly, the recipient will become an idiot at best, and at worst he will be crushed to pieces, turning into a pulp ......"
Su Jinxiu said, and her mood became gloomy.
Liu Nanfeng stretched out his hand and gently stopped her in his arms.
"It's too difficult for the demon clan to give birth to offspring." Su Jinxiu hugged Liu Nanfeng tightly and sobbed in a low voice.
"It's okay, if we don't give birth, can't we survive if we don't live?"
Su Jinxiu hugged Liu Nanfeng and didn't make a sound, it was obvious that she wanted to give Liu Nanfeng a child, otherwise she wouldn't be so sad.
Liu Nanfeng coaxed her for a while, and then went into the bathroom to take a shower.
After running outside for a day, he smelled of sweat all over his body, and he frowned when he smelled it, but Su Jinxiu didn't even dislike him.
He took off his clothes and the warm water poured down his head, taking away the tiredness of the day.
"I took the dirty clothes and washed them, and I put the change of clothes here."
"Okay."
Liu Nanfeng heard the sound of Su Jinxiu leaving outside the door.
Then I remembered that there were two "materials" in the picture scroll that were being refined, and they should have been successfully alchemized, so I didn't know what skills I could get this time.
So he called out the picture scroll with great anticipation.
