Today is the first day after entering the wax moon, a gloomy day.

It's not just because of today's weather that says gloomy.

Of course, the snow that had been falling since last night and didn't stop until the morning was really depressing. However, everyone who stayed in the Phaseless City knew that what was hanging over their heads today was not only the white objects fluttering above their heads, but also an emotion, one mixed with too much horror.

Like the mood of the people in this city today, Wuxiang City is not really a city, this name is just a name given to it by the people who stay here, and for people outside the city, they are more accustomed to calling this place the Demon Domain.

"I'm sick of it. ”

I don't know who said such a sentence weakly, it can be said that this sentence sums up the mood of everyone on the third floor of the Yiyi Tower now.

Yiyi Pagoda is the tallest building in the city, with a total of 12 floors, each floor is about 3 zhang high, which is enough to be two heights of the house where people usually live. In particular, it is worth mentioning that there are about 200 people living on each floor of the Yiyi Tower, and the people who live in the Yiyi Tower are all demon waiters who come from all over the country and want to become demons.

"Okay, don't complain anymore, or let the people outside hear it, and you're the one who went to fill the river today. ”

After a long time, I don't know who whispered such a sentence.

It's still bedtime, and after saying this, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.

Reclamation of the river.

It's a word that makes people think about it, and most of the time, people subconsciously think that the image it represents is not good, and to put it bluntly, the image it represents should be quite scary.

However, in the city of Wuxiang, it is a word with a different meaning. It represents not only a terrible event that is about to happen, but also a kind of failure.

Because as I said before, everyone who enters Wuxiang City, no matter what the reason for coming in, wants to become a demon after entering. And being filled in means that you have been eliminated.

However, there are exceptions to everything. Just when everyone was worried about their future because of what was about to happen, there was one person who was completely unaffected by this emotion and the weather, and slept quite soundly.

"It's dawn, it's time to get up. ”

A gentle voice came to her ears, and when she heard it, the girl who was sleeping on the bunk in the corner of the wall muttered dissatisfiedly, rolled over again, and slept for another quarter of an hour with her face facing the wall, and then yawned and rubbed her eyes.

As soon as her eyes opened a slit, the girl asked with a little dissatisfaction, "What time is it?"

"Yo, Grandma, how do you want me to answer your question? ”

The answer to her was a night watchman on the third floor of the Yiyi Tower.

This woman is not very old, just in her early thirties, but she always likes to pose as an old man every day. Just like now, when she answered the question of the girl with her tousled hair and face on the bed, she was like an old slave who had served this girl all her life. In fact, in this floor, even the identity of everyone in this tower is the same, they are all demon treaters.

Of course, if there is any difference between them, it can only be distinguished by what each of them does every day. Just like the woman in her thirties who just spoke, she is here as a night watchman, responsible for the night security of the demons on this floor every night, and there are six people who do the same work as her. The six of them rest during the day and patrol the entire third floor at night. The whole floor is not large, the structure is not complicated, and it can even be said to be very simple, that is, two rows of sixteen rooms named after numbers, with a long corridor in the middle.

Now that we've talked about the structure of this room, there's one more thing I have to mention.

"We are a group of people living in coffins. ”

The building that had once been described by the demons as they lived. Although this sentence does not sound very good, it has to be said that it is true. From the outside, the tower really looks like a giant, boxy coffin.

Okay, now let's go back to the previous thing, introduce the night watchman, and now it's time to talk about the identity of the girl who is still lying on the bed, she is a steward, the steward of the demon people. It is necessary to explain that this steward of this girl is only the steward of the room where she is. Speaking of which, I have to explain one more point, because there are too many people on the entire floor, and these people have to live here for a long, long time before becoming demons (the time when each demon becomes a demon is different, and it is said to be related to everyone's understanding). Where there are a lot of people, there are bound to be all kinds of problems. Especially in a place like Yiyi Tower, where all the people live are women, it's even more problematic. Therefore, in order to ensure a daily and orderly life, some unwritten rules have been formed among the demons, one of which is that there must be a person in charge in each room.

"Now that it's time to get up, let's get up. ”

The girl with her hair covered her face stretched on the bed, yawned again, rubbed the corners of her eyes with a little tears, and shouted loudly without recruitment: "All right, get up!

At her command, the deliberately quiet of the whole room suddenly had a reason not to be maintained, and it suddenly became lively: the sound of lifting the quilt and dressing······ There were also one or two whispered apologies for the collision between the two.

"Auntie, you woke everyone up, can't you get up yet?"

It was supposed that when the day came, the night watchman should go back to sleep in their specially made soundproofed and well-lit room, but apparently the night watchman sitting on the edge of the girl's bed at this time had no intention of doing so, and she gently patted the girl's head with her hand, and joked softly with the girl.

The girl looked like she was enjoying herself, but she had no intention of answering the question of the woman on duty.

The woman on duty at night saw that the girl was snoring softly, as if she was asleep again, the movements of her hands were much softer, and slowly changed to stroking, and then after staring at the girl's pointed chin exposed outside her hair for a long time, her eyes rolled and she took a deep breath, and then she made a look like she had just remembered, and made a fuss and whispered in the girl's ear: "Hey, you should have heard, there are quite a lot of people who want to fill the river today?"

The problem, although there is no intention of hiding it, after all, this is a problem that all people who are waiting for demons know, the woman still did not forget to look back at the reactions of the other people in this room, but when she saw that everyone was breathing evenly, just when the woman thought that the girl was really asleep, she heard the girl say "um" in a light voice.

The woman was suddenly interested, and the movements of her hands stopped completely: "Do you know? I heard the old man who has been here for most of his life say that this has never happened before. At this point, she paused, sighed, and then continued, "Alas······ You want to say that this time you sent two or three people to fill the river, we can still understand it. But this time, more than 20 of them were sent at once! And it's not about 20 of the entire tower, it's about 20 of our floor!"

The girl's breathing was steady, as if she hadn't heard the woman at all.

The girl's attitude did not affect the woman's interest at all, and she continued to take care of herself: "I think you also know that our Wuxiang City has to change places every once in a while. Last time, that is, ten years ago, when you didn't come yet, our Wuxiang City was in a desert, according to the people who stayed in our tower for the longest time, our whole city has been in the yellow sand for almost two hundred years, and in those two hundred years, there are only less than ten people who have been cleared out of this Wuxiang City. Alas, who knows what's going on now, since moving to this vast land, there will be so many changes. ”

After speaking, the woman looked up at a certain part of the roof, and sighed.

"Heh, there are some things that others say casually, we just listen to them casually, there is no need to be more serious. The girl exhaled a long breath, still with her eyes closed, and said, "We're just waiting for demons now." Treating demons, treating demons, in the final analysis, is just one person. Although I am not very old, I have never heard or seen any 'person' in this world who can live for more than 100 years without dying. ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, and knew in her heart that the girl was blaming her for not thinking about what she said, so she laughed embarrassedly, and hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, what you said is." It seems that I can't listen to the wind or rain in the future, and I will believe whatever others say. ”

"Alright, it's dawn, and after a hard night's work, you should go back and rest. ”

The girl gave the order to evict the guest, and the woman could not sit anymore, so she got up and said goodbye, turned and walked out of the room.

The people on duty at night went back to rest one by one, and then it was time for the people who patrolled the guard during the day to be on duty.

Unlike the arrangement of people on duty at night, it is the demon waiters who are in charge of each room in charge of patrolling during the day. There are sixteen rooms on the third floor, and there are sixteen stewards of the demons. These sixteen men were stationed every half hour, and after eight hours the night came, and they were replaced by night watchmen to patrol the night.

Speaking of which, there is nothing important about this daytime patrol, it is just to pass on the words of the demon servants who are a higher level than these demon servants. It can be said that this is a fairly easy errand, if there are no special circumstances, that is, a few rounds in that corridor, or go around this room, go to that room, and the time will pass. However, once you encounter a situation like today, it will not be so easy for the patrol.

In the corridor at this time was Wei Shuqin, who was in charge of Room 4. This is a woman whose name sounds elegant and virtuous, but her personality is extremely strong.

Early in the morning, the corridor was filled with her male voice: "Quiet in all rooms!

After being notified a few times, her voice came from room to room in the corridor: "Room No. 1, do you hear that?"

"I hear you. The steward of Room One replied gently.

"Room two, I heard ······"

Before Wei Shuqin's word "?" could be spoken, Wu Mei, who was in charge of room two, replied impatiently: "Oh, I know, I know!"

Among the two hundred or so people on the third floor of Yiyi Tower, there are not many people who dare to talk to her Wei Shuqin like this, and among these people, Wu Mei can be counted as one. It is precisely because of this that even if her heart was full of anger, she didn't dare to attack in front of Wu Mei, but took a deep breath and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "I didn't ask if you know, did I ask if I heard?"

Wu Mei glared at Wei Shuqin with slanted eyes, and said word by word: "Heard-arrived-!" and said in a weird manner: "You screamed so loudly early in the morning, can we not hear it?!"

Wei Shuqin couldn't be angry, staring at Wu Mei with her eyes for a while, the content in her eyes was self-evident, but she really couldn't think of a way to retaliate for a while, so she could only look angry, turn her head to the next room, and continue her task.

"Room Three..."

"Received, received. You are tired, you are hard. I see, I'll take care of everyone in the room, don't worry. The three groups of stewards waited at the door of the room early, and before Wei Shuqin finished speaking, they hurriedly greeted each other with a smile and said with an extremely humble attitude.

After listening to the words of the manager of room three, Wei Shuqin's eyes rolled in the direction of room two, and said loudly in a strange manner: "My heart is not bitter, but my life is bitter!"

Years of collective life have made everyone here very shrewd, and the manager of room No. 3 immediately knew the meaning of Wei Shuqin's words, his eyes blinked, and he laughed "hehe". Then he immediately pretended to comfort Wei Shuqin and said, "Look at what you said, isn't there no way?" After speaking, his eyes also followed Wei Shuqin's appearance and glanced in the direction of room two.

Wei Shuqin, who felt a little comforted in her heart, smiled crookedly at the corner of her mouth, didn't say anything more, and turned to the door of room No. 4 with a high spirit. ”

Listening to her words, Wei Shuqin's deputy nodded submissively.

In this way, Wei Shuqin notified Room 5 and Room 6 again. When she arrived at room seven, Wei Shuqin encountered obstacles again, she stood at the door of room seven, looked at all the people and places in room seven, but did not see the person in charge of room seven, and finally, she had to put her sharp eyes on the faces of the three people sitting in front of her, and after examining these three people one by one, she asked sternly in her majestic voice that even men were ashamed to listen to: "What about the person in charge of your room?"

After asking, her eyes then looked at the three people sitting at the door one by one, and these three people, in her gaze and tone, closed their mouths tightly and looked at each other with a tacit understanding.

After looking at each other a few times, there was still no consensus, and they didn't know who and how to answer this question, and gradually the three of them trembled.

The appearance of these three people angered Wei Shuqin, she raised her voice, and asked again: "Speak, where are the people in charge of your seventh room?"

The three of them trembled even more, looked at each other again, and finally the person sitting in the middle spoke, his voice trembling, but all he said was a variety of intonations, "Ahhh Ahh The more nervous she is, the more she makes mistakes, and no matter how hard she tries at this time, she can't organize what she wants to say into a complete sentence.

At the same time, the face of the person sitting in the middle also turned crimson, and the body trembled more and more, and then looked at the people sitting on both sides of her, after she spoke, they gradually regained their calm, as if their tension and pressure were all transmitted to the person sitting in the middle through an invisible channel.

Seeing this situation, the anger in my heart provoked by Wu Mei, who was in charge of room two, was about to erupt again, when a lazy voice came from the window: "Who? What are you arranging for? I finally watched a snowy scene, and if I want to chant a poem or do a right thing, it won't be quiet." ”

Hearing this voice, the three people sitting at the door in room seven quickly glanced at each other, almost at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, and then lowered their heads, looked at the outstretched hands, and pretended to admire their hands, without exception, their faces were full of joy for the rest of their lives.

Hearing this, Wei Shuqin also came to the spirit, she immediately stretched her neck, looked at the direction of the window in the room, and didn't see anyone for a while, thinking that she was squatting, but this did not affect her tone and said in a rather kind and affectionate tone: "Yo, why are you there, I watched you here for a long time, I didn't see you, and I thought you followed that group of people today." ”

When the manager of room seven heard her say this, he first laughed loudly and exaggeratedly, "hehe", and then shook his head in self-denial, and said repeatedly: "No, no, no!

After speaking, she raised her head, laughed in a more exaggerated tone of "haha" for a while, lowered her head and whispered self-affirmation: "Yes, yes, that's right." Only in this way will others not mistake your laughter for not being sincere enough. ”

The thirteen people in room No. 7 who were sitting in the atmosphere and didn't dare to come out, as well as Wei Shuqin, who was standing at the door of room No. 7 at this time, heard all her self-talk, everyone pursed their mouths and held back a smile, and the tense atmosphere just now suddenly eased a lot.

Wei Shuqin glanced at the three people sitting in the front row with his eyes, looked in the direction of the window again, and asked in an exaggerated tone: "What's the matter?

After hearing this, the person squatting in the window didn't react, and the other people sitting in the room couldn't help but laugh out loud, and several of them were worried that their laughter would annoy the steward, so they hurriedly covered their mouths with their hands.

"Alas······" After listening to the laughter outside gradually subsided a little, a sigh that was not very emotional came from the window: "It's not, look at the busy work this morning, what time is it, and our doctor here still hasn't opened the door to grab medicine." ”

Wei Shuqin, who was standing outside the door, followed her words with a smile on her face and said, "Hey, forget it, understand it, this is not ······" Speaking of this, he looked up and gestured out of the window, and then thought that the person squatting under the window could not see it, and then said: "Aren't the people outside the window busy, after the doctor is busy, open the door and grab the medicine, don't worry." ”

It seemed that Wei Shuqin's comfort really played a role, and the manager of room seven, who was squatting under the window and not seeing anyone, said helplessly: "Okay." ”

Wei Shuqin, who had said a few jokes, didn't mean to leave in a hurry, and was looking down to think about how to jump to the next topic without a trace, when he heard a serious voice from the window: "Hey, by the way, Awei, I haven't settled accounts with you yet!

Listening to the tone, there seemed to be a kind of look like she was about to rush over and beat someone, but based on Wei Shuqin's understanding of the steward in room seven, she felt that maybe she was just squatting for too long at this time, stretching her legs and feet.

Sure enough, after waiting for a while, there was no movement on the other side of the window, and Wei Shuqin asked with a smile: "Hey, people, didn't you say that you want to settle accounts with me? Why don't you keep silent?"

"Ah······ Ah······h Oooh······" There was a strange cry from under the window, and he didn't forget to reply: "Shh, wait a minute, I'll stretch my other leg too, it's too long to squat." ”

Then there was a strange cry of "ahhhh

"No!" came a resolute refusal from the window: "I finally found this time to enjoy the window alone, and no one wants me to leave!" After speaking, he also "snorted" to strengthen his determination.

Hearing that the man at the root of the window began to talk nonsense again, Wei Shuqin said angrily: "Okay, okay, didn't you just say that you wanted to settle accounts with me? ”

"Well, I think about it. ”

"Yes, but you have to think quickly, I have something to do here. ”

"Ahem······" A voice cleared his throat: "Get ready, listen up." ”

Wei Shuqin, who was leaning on the door frame, really moved his body and made an appearance of listening carefully.

"Uh······ Sisters in room seven, in the future, you have to be brave, you know? How many times have you said that if someone knocks on the door, no matter what the matter is, you must puff up your chest and tell others proudly: There is something to ask us to take care of!

"Understood. A few sparse voices came, but from the speaker's tone, there was not the slightest hint of "bravery" and "arrogance".

"Is this what you're going to settle with me?"

"Of course not!"

Still resolute tone.

"The account I'm going to settle with you is this: Please don't scare the people in our room seven in the future, it's not good, it's really not good. The person who has been squatting under the window has a meaningful taste when he says this.

Wei Shuqin first denied it, saying, "I didn't scare your family. As he spoke, he glanced at everyone in Room Seven.

After speaking, Wei Shuqin didn't wait for the answer from the window, adjusted his standing posture again, and then said: "Besides, even if it really scares them, what's wrong, you can tell me about it." ”

Listening to this tone, it is completely a posture that shows that he will be embarrassed to play with this here today.

"Alas," another sigh came from the window, and then said more meaningfully, "We must be reasonable." So today, let's talk about this truth. ”

Wei Shuqin raised his left hand, stretched out his little finger, plucked his ear, and said casually: "Okay, you say, I'm listening here." ”

"You see, I don't really care if you scare the people in our room seven, after all, it's not me who scares you, right?"

After listening to the steward's words, the dozen or so demons in room No. 7 who were still snickering with their mouths covered just now, and waited with their ears pricked up to listen to the excitement, were all stunned for a moment, and they didn't understand what their stewards meant.

"Haha······"

Looking at the rich expressions on the faces of these people under his nose, Wei Shuqin couldn't help but raise his head and laugh.

"You don't laugh, don't laugh. Please listen, listen, listen carefully to what I have to say. A grumpy voice came from the window.

Wei Shuqin finally stopped laughing, and then said, "Okay, you say, I promise to listen carefully." When talking about the word "serious", Wei Shuqin also deliberately raised his voice to highlight the importance of these two words.

"Well," said a satisfied voice of approval from under the window, "that's right, you have to be serious." ”

"Ahem······"

There was another sound of throat clearing.

"Let's go on, as I said earlier, I really don't care if you scare them, I'm more concerned about it, if you scare one of them, it will be troublesome. ”

After speaking, she didn't wait for Wei Shuqin's answer, and continued to take care of herself: "You think, I'm squatting alone at the window at this moment, and the most important thing is that I'm squatting here alone." What a rare opportunity to be alone!"

After speaking, he smacked his lips, his face was full of aftertaste, he shook his head for a while, and then smacked his lips again, and then continued: "But if you scare one of them out of anything, then they will want to come to the window to breathe." Do you think, in this way, I will not lose such a rare opportunity to be alone?"

Wei Shuqin was patient, and finally listened to her crooked reasoning, and was not in the mood to continue to entangle on this boring topic, so he comforted her quite perfunctorily and said, "Okay, okay, I know it's wrong." ”

"Well, that's pretty much it. ”

Seeing that this sentence finally ended the topic, Wei Shuqin changed his posture of leaning against the door again, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said: "That, I have something I want to tell you, you see ······"

Before Wei Shuqin could finish speaking, the person squatting under the window answered: "Well, I know." This time, the words from there were full of calmness and reason, and there was no more banter before, as if it was a completely different person, the person didn't wait for Wei Shuqin to speak, and said: "In private, I told her, you can get busy, you should be in the past, don't think about it anymore." ”

Listening to the words that were obviously an eviction order, Wei Shuqin had a look of pleasure that had finally been avenged, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, then you go and talk about it, I'll go first." With that, he turned and went to the next room.

Wei Shuqin's departing footsteps could no longer be heard, and the seven groups of room stewards who were still squatting under the window, with their hands on their cheeks, staring out of the window without blinking through the messy hair on their faces, not noticing that someone had quietly walked in front of her.

"Hey!"

Just as Wei Shuqin had just walked away for a while, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

The steward of room seven was startled, but her body only trembled imperceptibly, and she quickly regained her composure, she took a deep breath, her eyes never left the window, and asked in a leisurely voice: "It's Wu in charge, is there something wrong?"

The person who came was Wu Mei, who was in charge of room two.

Wu Mei didn't scare her, and was guessed by others without even looking at her, and asked a little frustratedly: "How do you know it's me?" Without waiting for an answer, she then asked, "What did you see?"

Wu Mei walked towards the window as she spoke.

Someone who was squatting under the window and was still calm just now, suddenly looked like a fried cat, staring at Wu Mei's legs walking towards the window, and shouted: "Don't move!"

Wu Mei, who was frightened, immediately stopped.

"Take two steps back!"

Wu Mei, who was frightened, obediently did what she said, and really took two steps back.

Then, standing there, he asked timidly, "What's wrong?"

"Shh······h

Seeing this situation, Wu Mei thought that the squatting person had something important to tell her quietly, so she hurriedly lowered her body, lowered her voice again, and asked again: "What's wrong?" said, afraid that the other party's voice would be too small to hear clearly, and stretched her head forward as much as she could.

"Well, that's good," said the man at the base of the window, first nodding with satisfaction, and then said solemnly, "It's just right to stand here, so that the people below can't see you." ”

Wu Mei suddenly had a feeling of being tricked, and said, "I said why are you squatting here, it turns out that you are hiding here and peeking." ”

"Oh······ Woo······" A wolf-like howl: "How can you do this? Why do you want to expose people? Do you know that it's not fun to expose something?"

Looking at the painful face of the man under the window, Wu Mei smiled and comforted: "Okay, okay, just when I didn't say anything just now." ”

The one in the toilet, then satisfied with a proud face, continued to look out the window.

Suddenly, the person who was arrogant a moment ago said coldly: "There are only two of us left, in the future, we should save some face for others when we talk and do things, don't be too ······"

No one interrupted, and the one who was squatting under the window thought for a moment, and finally scratched his head, but he couldn't find the right words, so he had to say, "Just don't be too much." You know what I'm talking about. ”

After speaking, he looked at Wu Mei with a sincere face.

Wu Mei, who was still listening to her speech just now, saw that her brain seemed to be stuck again, so she looked at her with a smile and said, "I know, I know." ”

Seeing that Wu Mei understood her words, the one who was squatting under the window tilted his head again, and looked out of the window with a strange expression.

Wu Mei stood behind her and looked down for a while, then asked cautiously, "Was it ······ just now?"

The head at the base of the window replied, "Well, yes." Otherwise, how could she, a person who is on patrol, spend so much time playing with me at the door?"

"Okay, I got it. Wu Mei rolled her eyes and said with a gloomy face.

For a while, neither of them spoke, each thinking about their own thoughts.

At this moment, the voice of Wei Shuqin passing the words to room 12 came from the corridor, and Wu Mei saw that it was no longer interesting to stay, so she said to the person under the window: "It's okay, I'll go first." ”

"Hmm. ”

Silence finally returned to room seven.

Outside the window, a group of people were lining up, wearing black hoods, and slowly walking forward one after another.

"Someone has finally gotten their wish. ”

When the group of people could no longer be seen one by one, the steward of room seven looked out the window, the corners of his mouth raised, and said leisurely.

No one noticed that in that row of black heads, walking in the last one, turned his head in the direction of Room 7 on the third floor of the Yiyi Tower, and looked for a while. As for what you can see wearing that black gauze, no one is even more obsessed.

After a noisy day, night came, and the night watchmen haunted the corridors on each floor of the tower, and the whole Forget-me-not City was quiet as if there was no one, and it was the time of excitement in the Joy Town, which was only separated by a water from the Forget-me-not City.

······

At the door of the Tongyi Restaurant, there are fragrant cars and BMWs, and from time to time people in Chinese costumes enter and exit from this door. What is surprising is that among these people in gorgeous clothes, there is a young man dressed in a beggar's costume. I saw this young man holding a bamboo stick in his mouth, and walked out of the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, staggering out, burping constantly as he walked, and spit out the leftovers shaved from between his teeth to the ground from time to time.

The young man's demeanor made the people who walked by him look sideways, and kept guessing his identity in their hearts: this person is definitely not a guest here, because the guest dressed like this has already been blown away by Xiao Er standing at the door.

The young man with the bamboo stick in his hand, of course, noticed the gaze of the people passing by him, but he did not restrain his behavior at all, but tilted his head and hummed a little song as he walked.

When the young man walked to the door humming a little tune, he smiled and nodded to the two runners who were soliciting guests at the door of the restaurant.

As soon as the two runners saw him, the mouth of the running hall on the left moved excitedly, and before the words could be spoken, the running hall on the right preemptively said, "Fourth Master Qian, are you leaving?"

After speaking, he glanced at the running hall on the left with a slightly provocative look, and the running hall on the left who didn't speak rolled his eyes angrily.

The young man who was called "Fourth Master Qian" also saw the small movements of these two people, he stood down, and said with a smile: "It's still early, don't go." When you're full, come out and breathe. ”

As he spoke, he took two steps to the right, raised his right hand, patted the shoulder of the running hall on the right, took a few steps to the left, raised his left hand, patted the shoulder of the running hall on the left, and said, "Shouting loudly, don't be lazy." ”

After speaking, he walked out of the door of the restaurant, and the remaining two runners glanced at each other unconvinced, and each shouted harder.

In fact, they don't know much about this young man who is respected by them as "Qian Siye", only that this delicate-looking, thin young man like a piece of paper is called Qian Jin, and they don't know anything about what they are doing in this restaurant. But there is one thing they still know, that is, the owner of this restaurant is respectful when he sees Qian Jin, so he nods when he sees him, it is absolutely impossible to be wrong.

He walked out of the restaurant, got down the steps in front of the restaurant, looked at the endless stream of guests in front of the door, a cool breeze blew, and he felt a desolation rise in his heart for no reason.

"Alas······" Qian Jin raised his head, looked at the dark sky, and sighed deeply.

"Alas······"

I don't know where another sigh came, and Qian Jin, who was thinking about what to say in his heart, asked loudly with a trembling voice, "Who······ Who's there?"

He shouted out this sentence without momentum, and he heard a sound from the dim place next to the restaurant, Qian Jin stood in place and thought for a while, then stretched out his head and walked slowly towards the place where the sound came from.

"Bang", the sound of something falling to the ground.

The frightened Qian Jin stood in place, not daring to move.

Squinting his eyes, he stared at the place where the sound came from for a long time, only to realize that it was a flower pot that had been knocked over to the ground.

As soon as he wanted to curse, where did the wild cat come from, he saw a person slowly crawling out of the dark shadow.

The man's clothes were in tatters, his face was black, he couldn't see his facial features clearly, only a pair of eyes, which shone black in a place where the light couldn't shine.

This movement had already alarmed the two runners at the door of the restaurant, and they surrounded the person one by one without waiting for Qian Jin to greet him, putting on a posture of fighting to the death, and their eyes glanced at Qian Jin from time to time, just waiting for him to give an order, ready to launch an "attack" on this person of unknown origin.

Qian Jin motioned to the two runners to wait first, stared at the thin and tall "black man" in front of him for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up, he lowered his head and groaned for a while, then raised his head and said with a melancholy face: "Little brother, what do you mean, this flower pot was bought with money." ”

Hearing this, the "black man" who had been standing straight shook his body unconsciously, leaned over, and looked at the flower pot that had broken into two petals behind him, and his body shook even more.

Seeing this situation, Qian Jin waved his hand, letting the two runners standing behind the "black man" disperse, and then comforted him: "Brother, don't be afraid, my brother is joking with you." ”

pointed to the clothes on each other and himself, and said, "Look, our taste in this dress is so similar." He pointed to his face and said, "Except for the difference in color, we are almost identical." ”

Qian Jin scratched his head and asked, "Since meeting is fate, I don't know if it's inconvenient for the little brother to tell me your name?"

The "blacks" were silent.

Qian Jin stared at him from head to toe and then from foot to head, and continued to ask, "How old is this year?"

The person on the other side remained silent.

"Then how did you get here?" Qian Jin glanced at the broken flower pot behind the man, and then asked, "You can't grow out of that thing, can you?"

The "black man" followed Qian Jin's gaze, and also glanced at the flower pot that was turned over behind him, and then raised his head, still staring at Qian Jin with his glowing eyes, neither speaking nor moving.

Seeing that he really couldn't ask anything, Qian Jin gave up, he beckoned to the "black man" and said, "Forget it, little brother, if you believe your brother's words, just follow me." After saying that, without waiting for the "black man" to approach, he turned and walked towards the hotel.

The "black man" hesitated for a moment, followed Qian Jin not far away, and walked into the largest and most beautiful building in Xile Town, which had just been built.

In this way, two people dressed in beggar costumes came to the fourth floor of the restaurant one after the other. I saw that the left and right sides of the staircase were each tightly covered by a thick quilt-like curtain. Qian Jin, who walked to the front, opened the curtain on the left, and suddenly a heat wave hit his face, and it turned out that the fourth floor was a bathhouse.

As soon as the shopkeeper of the bathhouse saw Qian Jin, he immediately greeted him with a smile, nodded and said, "Yo, Fourth Master Qian, you are here, do you still arrange it for you according to the old rules?"

Qian Jin waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about me today, do you see?" said, pointing to the "black man" standing behind him, and then said: "Find someone, bring this brother in, wash it well, and clean it up." ”

Hearing Qian Jin's order, the shopkeeper bowed his hand respectfully to the "black man", bent down and waved his hand in front of him to lead the way: "Please come with me." ”

The "black man" glanced at Qian Jin, who smiled and nodded at him, so the "black man" followed the shopkeeper without thinking.

Qian Jin originally wanted to find a place to sit and wait for a while, but when he thought that with the appearance of the little brother just now, it would take an hour to wash up, so he stood up, grabbed a guy in the bathhouse and said, "Wait for someone to come out and bring it upstairs to meet me." ”

After speaking, without waiting for the guy's reply, he slowly opened the curtain and walked out.
