Five days, in the blink of an eye.

I don't know if there are too few things in the underworld such as ghosts, or if they are all afraid of this group of strong guys who are in the age of blood, in the next four days, Zhang Ran and the tiger have never encountered any strange existence.

At most, there are only a few blind beasts, and Zhang Ran doesn't have to make a move to deal with these guys, and the tiger roars at them, and he can scare them out.

Walking during the day, lighting a fire at night to rest, because Zhang Ran volunteered to keep vigil, the young men slept very well at night, and the footsteps during the day were much faster than when they were purchasing in the past, and at noon on the fifth day, Zhang Ran saw the tall county city wall from afar!

"Brother Zhang, we still have to go to the market to buy a lot of things, so we won't be on the same road with you, and we must go back to the village to play when we have time in the future!"

After seeing the city gate, the leading young man smiled and arched his hand to Zhang Ran.

"Well, we will meet by fate!"

Zhang Ran also smiled:

"Please also be careful when you go back after purchasing, there are a lot of beasts on the official road......"

"Got it!"

……

After bidding farewell to everyone, Zhang Ran turned back to the forest, only to see the tiger lying lazily on a piece of bluestone.

It had been so lazy for the past few days, mainly because the ghost had been sucking the tiger's vitality since it had lived in the tiger's belly, which caused it to be a little lazy.

Of course, the vitality of the tiger is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and the vitality required by the ghost is not much, so it will not affect it too much.

Whew~

Seeing Zhang Ran return to the forest, the tiger let out a low roar.

Two-legged beast, why don't you let me go into the city with you?

Although Zhang Ran couldn't understand the tiger language, he could even guess a rough idea, so he said:

"Do you think this is still the village? There are many more people in the county town than in the village, if you dare to enter the city, the county lord can be so frightened that he will send troops to suppress you, believe it or not! ”

Whew!

This king doesn't care, the fragrance on your body hasn't smelled enough, how can you go!

Zhang Ran also made a difficulty, they had been together for so long, and the tiger was his only property, of course he didn't want to throw it outside.

But such a tiger, let alone entering the city, even if it just gets closer, it will alarm the people of the city, and the county lord will definitely have to send troops to kill or expel it.

Although Zhang Ran is not afraid of ordinary soldiers, he is careful to sail a 10,000-year-old boat, in case the county lord raises a few capable people as thugs, wouldn't he be able to capsize in the gutter?

Even if he didn't think about this, Zhang Ran didn't want to cause panic in the county, which didn't do him any good.

So......

Zhang Ran pondered for a moment, and when the tiger was impatiently waiting, an idea appeared in his mind.

Thinking of doing it, Zhang Ran first asked the tiger seriously:

"You understand everything I say, don't you?"

Whew~

Tiger nodded.

Nonsense, if this king can't understand people's words, then I have been acting in a one-man show for most of the past half a month?

This king is even smarter than you think!

"That's good!"

Zhang Ran smiled, squatted down and attached tiger ears and said for a moment......

"Do you understand?"

Whew!

The tiger nodded proudly, it was too simple!

……

So, the guards standing at the gate saw a handsome young man striding into the city, and on his shoulder lay a somewhat chic orange cat.

A soldier asked curiously:

"Boy, you tanuki look pretty chic, tsk! It's so powerful, like a tiger on the mountain......"

The young man laughed and teased the cat on his shoulder, but the cat didn't appreciate it very much, and didn't want to move lazily on his stomach......

"Fortunately, I didn't check the identity of the household registration, otherwise it would be troublesome."

After entering the city, Zhang Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Ran had stayed in the county for a period of time more than 20 years ago, and things like household registration and identity naturally existed, but that was more than 20 years ago, with his appearance as a teenager who had just turned eighteen, and the identity of a middle-aged and elderly man in his forties, ghosts could see that something was wrong!

"And you!"

Zhang Ran knocked on the head of the orange cat on his shoulder and said with emotion:

"Poor Dao originally thought that you were smart enough, but I didn't expect you to be smarter than I thought, the spell of [Shrinking Bones Like a Baby] was only taught once, and you learned it...... You're afraid you're really a monster! ”

Whew!

In the low roar, it was full of tiger pride.

What kind of spell is this too simple, this king can learn it once, and if you have the ability, you can teach it again......

Teach again? Scold!

Zhang Ran sneered, I will teach you all the spells at the bottom of the poor road, what if you don't obey one day and backfire?

There are many people who know the story of Master Cat teaching Tiger Apprentice!

"But speaking of which, the effect of this [Shrinking Bones into a Baby] on you is really strong!"

Zhang Ran still felt a little incredible, such a big tiger became the size of a fat orange, this effect is simply amazing!

What is the upgraded version of the bone shrinking skill, this is clearly the powerful spell of Sun Wukong that becomes bigger and smaller, the difference is only that [Shrinking Bones into a Baby] can only become smaller but not bigger, and the degree of getting smaller is limited, and the size of the tiger into an orange cat is already the limit of the spell.

"Why didn't I find this spell so useful before?"

Zhang Ran thought about it, he seemed to have used it as a way to enter and exit the stone chamber of Jijiao Mountain before, after all, the entrance to the stone chamber was only the size of a human head.

Speaking of which, this powerful spell has been buried......

"Also, how long can you sustain spell consumption?"

Zhang Ran asked what he was most worried about, what if it didn't last too long and showed its original form on the street?

The tiger lazily did not answer him, indicating that he knew what he knew.

Zhang Ran was relieved.

"Let's go, let's go find a few of my former good buddies, I don't know how they are now, I hope to solve the accommodation problem for us."

……

In the most prosperous area in the southeast of the county, a grand event is being held.

"Boss Lu's daughter has just been full moon, in order to celebrate this happy event, Boss Lu said, today [Zhen Yu Lou] wine and food are all 50% off!"

"Really? The Zhenyulou is the largest restaurant in the county, and I heard that the food inside is delicious and delicious, but the price is ...... I haven't been there yet. ”

"That's right, I haven't been there either, why don't we go and fight a table together?"

"Uh...... To each his own? ”

"Nonsense, you still want to prostitute for nothing?"

“……”

Zhang Ran came to the southeast of the county according to his memories and found this treasure house, where he worked as a helper for a period of time many years ago.

"It's a big change!"

After listening to the conversation between passers-by by by chance, Zhang Ran was a little surprised:

"I remember that in the past, this restaurant was famous for its unpalatable food. How can I ...... now?"

At that time, Zhenyulou occupied the best location, took the lowest profit, and had the reputation of being the most garbage, and who in the county did not know that its food was unpalatable.

Zhang Ran remembered that he had complained to a few friends who were helpers together, if he took this restaurant, he would keep it as a generation of rich people!

By the way, he was helping the cook wash the vegetables......

"As for the boss's surname, Lu ......"

Zhang Ran thought about it again, and remembered that the boss at that time didn't seem to be surnamed Lu, it should be that the business was sluggish later, and he sold the restaurant to others, which is normal.

"Why don't you go and see it? Wait until you have a meal, and then go to find a few brothers to catch up! ”

Zhang Ran touched his chest, he didn't help people do day jobs in Qingxi Village, and the money was not much, but it was estimated that it was enough to have a good meal.

"Let's go!"

……

As soon as he stepped into the restaurant, Zhang Ran felt the popularity of the shop's business, with people coming and going, and there were one or two hundred people on the upper and lower floors!

At that time, it was a small two-story building, and it seems that in the years since, it has undergone large-scale expansion.

"Compared with the bleakness of the year, it is really incomparable."

Zhang Ran sighed with emotion, and then immediately Xiao Er greeted him, and seeing that he was the only one, he enthusiastically found him a single table, and did not sneer Zhang Ran because he was not dressed well.

Zhang Ran was very satisfied with this, and was about to order a table of dishes, when he saw a rich middle-aged man with a big belly walking downstairs.

As soon as they saw him come down, all the guests shouted:

"Congratulations to Boss Lu for winning a daughter!"

"I wish Boss Lu a prosperous business!"

And the rich middle-aged people were also smiling, and for a while, the guests and hosts were happy.

But Zhang Ran was suddenly stunned, the more he looked at Boss Lu's face, the more familiar he became, although he hadn't seen it for more than 20 years, it still coincided with his memory......

At this moment, Boss Lu also glanced at this side, originally just a casual glance, but suddenly he couldn't take his eyes off!

With a look of surprise on his greasy fat face, he immediately took three steps and two steps, and even trotted over, and in the surprised eyes of the guests, he looked at Zhang Ran, tears couldn't help but flow, and said:

"Like! It's so similar! ”

He asked in surprise:

"Your surname is Zhang?"

Zhang Ran nodded hesitantly.

"Do you recognize Zhang Ran?"

Zhang Ran nodded again.

Boss Lu confirmed the conjecture in his heart, and immediately sighed:

"Virtuous nephew, you look exactly like your father when he was young!"

Zhang Ran: ......
