He asked you to call Zhongli is sophisticated, if you really call Zhongli directly, it will be an accident.

Shi Lan was in awe: "Mr. Zhongli." ”

Why respect? I don't know!

The attitude is correct first.

This uncle looks young, but he speaks in an old-fashioned tone, yesterday's breathless oppression, you said that he was the Liyue Lord who had nothing to do with the streets, Shi Lan didn't want to believe it even if he was killed.

(Who the hell is this man?) ）

Shi Lan pondered and meditated, but he didn't come up with a result.

(Could it be one of the other seven stars......!) ）

He only knew one of the Seven Stars of Liyue now, and that was Uncle Tianshu, who occasionally fished in the river.

Uncle Tian's fishing is Tu Yile, Shi Lan will come over every time and ask him for two fish, correspondingly, Shi Lan only needs to be responsible for digging some earthworms for Uncle Tian or helping to hold the rod.

In addition to Uncle Tian, there is also Sister Ningguang, who is about to take up the post of Tianquan Star. These two people can be regarded as Shi Lan's backstage in Liyue.

All in all, it's always right to be a little respectful.

He stretched his neck and found that Zhongli actually came out of the Hall of the Afterlife, and couldn't help but wonder, "How could Mr. Zhongli be in the Hall of the Afterlife?" Talking about business? ”

After saying this, he regretted it.

Can it be good to come to the Shengtang to talk about business......

Seeing that Zhongli was still smiling kindly, he quickly apologized, "I'm sorry Mr. Zhongli... I have no intention of ..."

Zhongli smiled and said, "No need to apologize, what you said is right, I did come to talk about business." However, it is not the kind you imagine, it should be said, to take up the post...... That's probably it......"

"Going to the Hall of the Dead to get a job?" Shi Lan was full of question marks, he couldn't think of any career gaps here in the Afterlife Hall.

Zhongli said calmly: "They lack a consultant..."

"Huh?"

Do you need a consultant to burn people?

This is the blind spot of Shi Lan's knowledge.

At this time, Hu Tao and her grandfather came out with some people.

These people were called out by Hu Tao to fight against the wood, and their eyes were about to pop out when they learned that these pieces of wood were dragged back by a child, but when they learned that the child who dragged the wood was called Shi Lan, they wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

Shi Lan, that's fine.

Anything outrageous and hooking up with this kid wouldn't be outrageous.

Old Man Hu saw Zhongli outside the door, and hurriedly stepped forward, arching his hand again and again, with an apologetic face: "I'm sorry Mr. Zhongli, the old man is lazy and can't go out to send him away, don't blame..."

Zhongli shook his head and said that it didn't matter: "Boss Hu has business coming to the door, so naturally he won't bother much, and in the future, I hope Boss Hu will take care of it more." ”

"Where, Mr. is polite, Mr. is knowledgeable, asking a few words is like seeing the sun, it is our honor for you to join the Hall of the Dead."

The two of them talked politely back and forth.

Hu Tao asked Shi Lan in a low voice, "Do you know Mr. Zhongli?" ”

Shi Lan opened her mouth and didn't know what to say, can I say that I used him as a shield as soon as we met......

And now it seems that this Zhongli seems to be really unusual, don't you see that Old Man Hu is polite to others.

But at least for now, it can be ruled out that he is a certain seven-star.

Seven stars went to the afterlife hall to take a job, is there no money or nothing to look for excitement......

Thinking of this, Shi Lan shook his head: "I don't know, I have crossed paths by chance." ”

Hu Tao felt that Shi Lan was lying, although she was very curious, but she also understood it and didn't ask much.

People don't want to say it, they just don't want to say it, and it's rude to ask the bottom line.

"Then we'll see you later." Old Man Hu politely sent Zhongli away, and then greeted Shi Lan: "It's really rare, my granddaughter actually brought a friend back, what's the boy's name?" ”

"My name is Shi Lan."

"yes, good name."

Old Man Hu obviously welcomed Shi Lan very much, but when he thought of the old man's profession, this enthusiasm made Shi Lan very uncomfortable.

All he could do was an awkward, polite smile.

"If you don't mind, come in and sit down."

Shi Lan readily agreed.

In addition to wanting to see Hu Tao's big data collection method, he wanted to know more about why Hu Tao was in such a hurry to invite him to the Life Hall.

He quietly followed behind his grandfather and grandson, only to hear Old Man Hu asking Hu Tao: "Granddaughter, how did you know this Mr. Zhongli?" To be able to pull such a person into our Hall of Death, you can be regarded as a great achievement. ”

Shi Lan raised her eyebrows.

(Huh?) Feelings, Zhongli or Hu Tao found? ）

Hu Tao smiled and said: "Mr. Zhongli had no money to pay the bill for dinner at Wanmin Hall last night, and he kept picking on Master Mao's fault, saying that he was upset today, and there were many flaws in the dishes, and he almost let Master Mao drive him out......"

Shi Lan and Old Man Hu were stunned.

Such a person can't afford to pay for food? Still twittering?

This is really completely different from the impression of Zhongli.

Hu Tao continued: "I went to Wanmintang to advertise and met him, and when I saw that he was very talkative, I chatted with him a little, and the words showed that he was very knowledgeable, talented and excellent, and he also knew a lot about funeral rites, so I tried to invite him to come to the Shengtang for an interview......"

Old Man Hu stroked his beard and sighed: "Not only is he quite knowledgeable, he is simply proficient, and he knows many lost etiquette and regulations...... Good granddaughter, you've found a talent for our Death Hall......"

Hu Tao scratched his head and laughed.

"But." Old Man Hu changed his words, "It's too early for you to worry about the affairs in the hall, grandpa I just want you to live a happier and freer life, don't hold your notes all day long... Oh yes! ”

Only then did Old Man Hu remember that there was a Shi Lan behind him, and he turned his head and said:

"Little guy, you're the first time you're coming to the Life Hall, you just treat this place as your home, you're welcome..., you can come to Hu Tao to play if you're usually fine, she's alone all day long, I'm really afraid that she will grow up like an old man, and I don't have a few friends......"

Hu Tao puffed out his mouth, very dissatisfied: "Grandpa! How I don't have any friends anymore! I've got ghosts! ”

"I know you have a snot friend! But you're human, and people play with ghosts every day! ”

Hu Tao stomped his feet straight by what the old man said, and his little face was slightly red: "Grandpa! ”

Shi Lan hurriedly interrupted: "Grandpa Hu, don't worry, I will often come to Hu Tao to play!" ”

Old Man Hu smiled: "That's good, if Hu Tao plays tricks on you, you tell me, and I will help you out." ”

"Thank you, Grandpa Hu!"

"Yes, yes! You guys have fun first, I'm going to talk about things. ”

After two or three sentences, Old Man Hu told Hu Tao a few words and went upstairs, he still had guests to talk about business, and he couldn't let people wait for a long time.

"Come in with me!" Hu Tao beckoned Shi Lan into the study.

This seems to be Hu Tao's territory alone, the house is messy, completely different from the neatness outside, the floor is full of scattered pages, densely packed with what is written.

However, a few plum blossoms in the flower pot on the desk add a bit of elegance, but at this level, Rao Shi Lan doesn't know how to arrange flowers, and he can see that this flower arrangement is really personal.

I picked up a page on the ground, and there were a few lines of poetry written on it: The sun comes out to bask in the sun, the moon comes out to bask in the moon, I hide from the rain when the rain falls, and the sun is followed by the dawn...

“…………”

Shi Lan was about to hold back her internal injuries when she held back her laughter.

(Walnut...... What a treasure girl...... ）

Hu Tao saw the poem in Shi Lan's hand, her face was slightly red and a little embarrassed, and she hurriedly put away her heirloom work, and said hesitantly: "I'm sorry, it's an improvisation... Makes you laugh..."

"Uh-a-cough, ahem...... Shi Lan took a deep breath to suppress the smile in his heart, and comforted: "That's there, that's there, this poem...... Very characteristic...... indeed"

"Don't talk about this, you drink tea first." Hu Tao immediately diverted the topic, poured Shi Lan a glass of water, and hastily cleaned up the scattered pages on the ground and stuffed them into the desk drawer.

Then, under Shi Lan's puzzled gaze, Hu Tao moved a stool and placed it in front of the bookcase, stepped on it and began to rummage through her bookcase.

"What are you doing?" Shi Lan was curious.

Hu Taotou didn't reply: "I'm looking for my client list." ”

"Do you have any other lists?"

Shi Lan was really shocked, she had seen the thick death list she was holding earlier, but there were other ones in your family?

"Found it! It's been two and a half years since I've been working on it! ”

Hu Tao happily waved the notes in her hand, waving her hands and laughing like a butterfly, but she seemed to forget that she was standing on a stool now......

Shi Lan's heart was shocked, this stool was estimated to be more than a meter high, and if he couldn't stand on his feet and fell down, he hurriedly shouted: "Be careful!" Can you come down first? ”

"Oh? Okay, I'm ...... Huh?! ”

Before Hu Tao's words were finished, what Shi Lan was worried about still happened.

Hu Tao turned around and held the cabinet to come down, and just lifted one foot, but somehow, the bench under the foot suddenly crooked.

Hu Tao exclaimed, shook it twice, and the whole person lost his center of gravity in an instant, fell forward uncontrollably, and the notes flew out......

"Danger!"

Shi Lan's eyes were quick, and he was sitting and drinking tea just now, he instantly put down the cup, turned over and ran over the sofa to catch Hu Tao, and at the same time, his other hand also accurately caught the notes that flew out.

"Are you alright?" Shi Lan asked with concern.

Shi Lan's face was close in front of him, and he didn't know if he was frightened when he fell or what was going on, Hu Tao felt his heart beat so fast......

She pointed to Shi Lan's hand holding the back collar of her coat: "Can you not carry me like a rabbit?" ”
