Elaborate on the world of mortals

Chapter 152 Unbearable
But Hui Mian is still very good at coming. Although he was dissatisfied, he actually walked to the woman's side and rubbed her arm.

It's just that when the woman wanted to pet the cat subconsciously, Hui Mian turned around to avoid the other party. The movement was exactly the same as that of ordinary cats, except that she couldn't meow.

Those who are close to Zhu are red, those who are close to ink are black, and those who are close to Yi Shuyuan are good at drama!
Yi Shuyuan glanced at Hui Mian, and suddenly such a sentence came to his mind, he reached out to grab Hui Mian, but he didn't expect that the other party also avoided his hand, and jumped out of the window to hide, not to give touch.

In fact, it is very simple to ask people to relax, they couldn't catch the cat on both sides, but Zhuo Qing covered her mouth and smiled.

"Forget it, my cat is greedy, as long as we eat faster, it can't help it."

Yi Shuyuan handed Zhuo Qing a pair of chopsticks, and the latter watched Yi Shuyuan pick up vegetables there, and subconsciously picked up vegetables for the bowl in front of his table.

This made Yi Shuyuan very unaccustomed, looked up and said helplessly.

"I know you haven't eaten yet, so just treat me as an ordinary friend, you don't need to take special care of me, just move your chopsticks."

Zhuo Qing nodded, and then really started to eat, it was almost time for the girl in the building to eat, but a guest came suddenly, she naturally dressed up first and then came over, of course she didn't have time to eat a few bites.

"Long Hero, although this dish is inconspicuous, it is the most delicious. Try it."

Yi Shuyuan looked at a bowl of flour covering the same dish. He and Hui Mian hadn't touched this bowl. When he lifted the egg skin sprinkled with sesame powder with chopsticks, the fragrance underneath came out.

Once you eat it again, the savory taste brings back sweetness, and the bacon bamboo shoot mushroom has a unique flavor.

"really not bad!"

The atmosphere at the dinner table also gradually relaxed. Yi Shuyuan would not talk about romance like the other guests, nor would he show off his literary talent, nor would he try to flirt or play tricks.

This made Zhuo Qing confused and even self-doubt at first, but then she felt that it was hard to relax, she didn't need to be hypocritical, she didn't need to work hard to please her, she didn't need to listen to those dirty poems and still show joy and praise, let alone any discomfort.

It's really like what the other party said, it's just a meal between ordinary friends and a casual chat.

This is not a person who came to find flowers and ask Liu, maybe he really just came to eat?
Zhuo Qing was eight percent full after eating, so she stopped her chopsticks, lifted the wine pot and poured wine for Yi Shuyuan.

Yi Shuyuan did not refuse, but looked at Hui Mian who was still hiding on the windowsill and said.

"Okay, it won't be like this next time, come over and eat, there are meat dishes for you!"

Only then did the cat's head on the window sill come out, and then Hui Mian walked to the table with graceful catwalks, and lightly jumped onto the table.

Zhuo Qing on the side opened her mouth slightly.

"Can it understand human speech?"

"Animals have been in contact with people for a long time, so they can naturally empathize. It may not be that they can understand human words, but they can feel the emotions in human words, and they can detect malicious and good intentions."

Zhuo Qing looked at Yi Shuyuan, and she could also detect the maliciousness and kindness of people, such as the one in front of her, presumably only a real knight-errant could be like this, and few so-called quacks she met before had a good impression.

"It still doesn't bark, what a quiet cat!"

Zhuo Qing put some meat on a clean plate for Hui Mian, which made Hui Mian look at her more.

Yi Shuyuan smiled and thought, you have never seen it not being a cat.

"Speaking of which, does anyone here have a cat?"

It was like a random question after getting familiar with it, but Yi Shuyuan gradually began to point to the real purpose.

But Yi Shuyuan will stay here for a long time today, not only waiting for the float to come back, but also until night.

Although there is no evil smell, another strange smell is still very interesting, but this smell has no clear direction, it is more like a residual trace.

Maybe when the sun goes down, the power of the sun and fire will weaken, and there will be some changes.

Zhuo Qing thought for a while after hearing what Yi Shuyuan said.

"Cats? I can see one or two once in a while, but I don't know who raised them. They are wild cats that came from outside. There are more sisters who raise birds. It may be because of the same disease. Many sisters will let them go after a period of time. Lose."

"It's just that after the release, many birds just died outside. They have no way to survive outside. After a long time, they will not be released."

Zhuo Qing, who showed some real emotion, immediately reacted after she finished speaking, and smiled at Yi Shuyuan.

"This cat wants to find a playmate. It may not be easy here, and it needs to be careful not to run around. If it takes away any sister's bird, it will not end well!"

"Don't worry, my cat is very sensible and has nothing wrong with it except delicious food."

Yi Shuyuan could feel the complicated emotions in the heart of the woman in front of him. Even though he was eloquent, he felt pale when the comforting words came to his lips, so he only talked about cats.

"Animals like cats and dogs are also very sensitive in other aspects. People often say that dogs can see ghosts, which is not unreasonable."

Saying that, Yi Shuyuan pointed to himself and Zhuo Qing.

"One more interesting thing, people like you and me also have innate spirituality! It seems that they are not as sensitive as small animals, but they do."

Zhuo Qing suddenly showed a curious look, and unconsciously became very relaxed.

"What kind of spiritual perception? What are the manifestations?"

Yi Shuyuan thought for a while and explained.

"Ordinary people's spiritual perception is only covered by all kinds of chaotic thoughts and desires, but sometimes spiritual perception will remind themselves through some methods, such as inexplicable panic, such as late night dreams."

Speaking of which, Yi Shuyuan drank the wine in the glass, seemingly jokingly said.

"I'm in the Jianghu. I don't know how strong my martial arts are, but it's not too bad. I have met some quack warlocks, some fought against others, and I learned some interesting things. How about I talk to you today?"

"Ok!"

A smile appeared on Zhuo Qing's face, and Yi Shuyuan asked.

"Then let's talk about the Thirteenth Floor Square recently. Has anything strange happened in this area recently?"

"Strange thing?"

Seeing Zhuo Qing's thoughtful expression, Yi Shuyuan thought for a while before explaining.

"It's the kind of thing that can make you flustered inexplicably at night, and maybe you will occasionally have nightmares at night."

Hearing Yi Shuyuan's words, Zhuo Qing thought for a while before answering.

"If Hero Long said so, he has indeed had a few nightmares recently, and some sisters have also told me about nightmares, but most of them are related to ordinary unhappiness, just"

"Just what?"

Zhuo Qing thought of the famous woman in the building recently, she was about to leave the cabinet in [-] years, and her first night could be said to have touched the hearts of many romantic, talented, gentry and dignitaries in the capital.

"nothing."

Gossip about other sisters in the building, if it gets spread, it would be bad, especially if the other party is in the limelight. After all, although the quack in front of me is admirable, he is an outsider after all.

Yi Shuyuan didn't force him to ask. Although the other party didn't say anything, he already knew that something was wrong.

"Is there someone missing? Or some people I knew suddenly disappeared one day."

Zhuo Qing showed a smile on her face, shook her head and said.

"How can this be considered a strange thing in Shisanloufang? Some people will know that they are sisters when they leave, and most of them leave silently, and some die because of something. Here, There is no friendship at all, and it would be strange if there is a guest immediately."

"Wind immediately? What do you mean?"

Yi Shuyuan frowned and asked, he looked at Hui Mian, looked up at him as if he didn't understand, then looked at Zhuo Qing again.

Zhuo Qing was stunned for a moment, looking at the clear eyes of the quack in front of her, she felt amused and felt a sense of shyness that she had not seen for a long time, this kind of common words became a little hard to say at this moment.

"That's right, it's a guest who died suddenly during the cloud and rain."

Yi Shuyuan suddenly realized and learned a new word.
-
After a while in the afternoon, the outside of the building seemed to be bustling. The side of the waterside pavilion was relatively quiet, but the noisy voice was still clearly audible.

Zhuo Qing, who was making tea, said.

"It's the float team that came back. On that car is a sister who is about to leave the court in the near future. Her name is Lu Xiaoxiao. I don't know how many talented people and powerful people want to kiss Fangze, but it doesn't matter if they are powerful or powerful. It depends on fate."

"fate?"

Zhuo Qing had obviously let go a lot, so she said sarcastically.

"Yes, fate, the fate of the oiran's first night in the thirteenth floor workshop is also an established game in the capital.

Since it is a game, there are naturally rules, no matter how rich or powerful you are, but there is always a sky beyond the sky, the rules of this game, it is interesting for everyone to abide by, and only then can it be fun to compete for playthings."

It would be impossible for Zhuo Qing to say this kind of thing to any other guest, but after a long time of contact, she said it very easily in front of Yi Shuyuan, and looked at Yi Shuyuan with a smile after speaking.

"Long Daxia not only has the arrogance of the world, but also has the casualness of a talented scholar and scholar. If you go to the Zhengyan Hall with this kind of bearing, you may have a great chance of being favored. Before I came here just now, there were a few The sisters all want to come."

"Don't make fun of me, I don't know if the money in Long's pocket is enough to pay for the meal, why join in the fun!"

Zhuo Qing smiled and was about to speak, but saw Yi Shuyuan's expression became a little solemn.

"And didn't Long say just now that he also communicated with quack warlocks. To be honest, Long came to enjoy the flowers today, and he always felt that something was wrong here!"

Hearing this, Zhuo Qing's heart skipped a beat, and she panicked inexplicably.

"What's wrong?"

"Hey, just pretend that Long is joking, Miss Zhuo will forget it after hearing it, Long suspects that there are monsters in the thirteenth floor square, isn't it that the Kaiyang River god has died, maybe there is no river god, There are monsters and less suppression."

Yi Shuyuan said half truth and half lie.

"Hiss. Are there really monsters in this world?"

Hui Mian, who was resting in Yi Shuyuan's arms, raised his head at this moment. Although he couldn't say it, but that attitude was very obvious to Yi Shuyuan.

Not only are there, but there are around.

"In fact, under normal circumstances, it's better not to believe, but sometimes you can't lose your awe."

Zhuo Qing felt a little hairy when she heard it.

"Long Daxia, you talk so much that I dare not go out to order dinner."

As soon as Yi Shuyuan thought about it, he said again.

"Miss Zhuo, hold out your hand."

Zhuo Qing stretched out her right hand subconsciously, and Yi Shuyuan's right hand was like a sword finger, drawing on the woman's palm with an inch away.

Zhuo Qing only felt that her palms were very hot and itchy, and then a warm current spread along her arms to her whole body, and her eyes widened for a moment.

"This is the internal force of the warrior?"

"Uh, well, I carved a spell on you with the method of a sorcerer. It may protect you in a critical moment. As long as your thoughts are right, this breath will not disperse. If you have evil thoughts in your heart, it will will go away."

So amazing?

Zhuo Qing stroked the palm of her hand, then raised her head to look at Long Daxia in front of her.

"Okay, let's go out and order dinner."

"Ok!"

At this moment, a certain hall in the building was crowded with people, even many servants on the side of the waterside pavilion went to help, so Zhuo Qing went out to order food by herself.

As soon as Zhuo Qing left, Hui Mian, who had been holding back for a long time, immediately spoke.

"Sir, please remind me next time, I almost screamed just now, by the way, did the monster show up?"

"No, maybe the time has not yet come, but I have planted a foreshadowing on Miss Zhuo Qing, even if it doesn't show up tonight, it will show up sometime."

This time was completely different from the feeling in the village last time. If it wasn't for the special smell, Yi Shuyuan would even suspect that he had made a mistake, let alone detect where the other party was, whether it was a cat or a human?
"Sir, she is also a poor person, won't you harm her?"

Yi Shuyuan shook his head.

"With my spell, she is safer than others. It's just that there are always many crooked evil spirits in the world. Some are external evil spirits, and some are in people's hearts. Not all of them have a perfect plan."

"Perhaps there is a high probability that something will happen on the night Lu Xiaoxiao leaves the pavilion. Even if I am overwhelmed, I should really inform the City God of the capital. It is a pity that there is no water god in the water."

Hui Mian made a reminder.

"The water god is gone, but some generals are still there, so it's not like they're all bad, right?"

"That's right, you can ask them for help! The strange smell can't smell the source, it may not be hidden in the water!"

As Yi Shuyuan said, he looked at the water surface outside the window. It was already dusk and the river surface was shimmering with the afterglow of the setting sun.

Spring is just around the corner, and the literary spirit is gathering. Is it impossible to get a top three in modern subjects?Together with this thought, it suddenly became stronger.

Soon the dinner was served, and Zhuo Qing actually went back and changed her clothes.

It's just that the sky is getting darker, and the food and wine on the table are gradually being eaten, but Yi Shuyuan senses that something is wrong, not because the monster is about to show up, but because the atmosphere in the room is getting a bit ambiguous.

"Does the Dragon Warrior want to take a bath?"

While speaking, Zhuo Qing actually took out a small wooden box, which contained some special shapes, and Yi Shuyuan probably knew that it was something like fish bubbles.

Seeing Yi Shuyuan staring at the things in the wooden box, Zhuo Qing looked at him with heat on her face, but said seriously in a low voice.

"If you are a dragon hero, you don't need it"

"Don't, don't, don't, Miss Zhuo misunderstood!"

Yi Shuyuan was sweating profusely, a string of "Farewell" popped out of his mouth, and jumped off the soft couch.

"Today, Long is already full, so I don't bother you. How do I pay the bill here? Do I go out to the atrium?"

Zhuo Qing sat on the soft couch and looked at Yi Shuyuan, with tears flowing from the corner of her eyes.

"Did Hero Long despise Zhuo Qing's remnant body?"

"Girl, please don't get me wrong. I don't mean to look down on or despise the girl. It's just that Long Mou has already made it clear that he is here for dinner today, and he came here to find out what happened during the day."

Zhuo Qing just looked at Yi Shuyuan, before speaking for a long time.

"When you leave the water pavilion, someone will collect silver taels."

Yi Shuyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for letting me know. Uh, by the way, how much is it for two meals at noon and evening?"

Zhuo Qing looked back at the dining table.

"Twelve taels for a table, and for the waterside house, it is 20 taels a day."

Yi Shuyuan was just thinking that although 20 taels is expensive, but it can be bought out, it turned out that the private room actually cost 20 taels.

Play big now.
"A room costs 20 taels?"

Hearing Yi Shuyuan's astonished voice, Zhuo Qing suddenly laughed out loud, knowing that he really didn't understand.

"When Long Daxia leaves, just say that the money for the waterside house has been handed over to Zhuo Qing, and there will be no embarrassment for you."

what?
Ah!
Yi Shuyuan understood at once, with his thick skin now, it is rare for him to show embarrassment and such an expression on his face.

After saying goodbye again, Yi Shuyuan finally left, his pace was much faster than when he came, and the building was gradually becoming lively at this moment.

Yi Shuyuan walked out of the Loufang and looked back at the brightly lit place at the edge of the peach blossom forest. The woman in the house just now had arrived at the window of the front hall pavilion, and seemed to be looking at him.

"Sir, she is looking at you."

"Nonsense, sir, he is not blind, he is also a poor man, but I still can't bear this kind of love, sir."

Yi Shuyuan sighed and left. He still wants to tell a story tomorrow.
