Ancestral handicraft

The temperature in Qingyuan City was already several degrees below zero, and it was raining and snowing again. The temperature change was unusually large.

Zhou Bingyu, who just came to Qingyuan City from a place with a mild climate, is as cold as his name, especially ice.

There is heating in the apartment, of course he doesn’t want to go out, but the house has not been lived in for a while, and now he has no food or drink, so he has to go downstairs to buy, mainly because of this point, and there is no takeaway to order, and there are no restrictions from the elders , he can eat whatever he wants.

What is Zhou Bingyu's favorite thing? As a Taoist priest, others may be ascetic, just have a pot of ordinary tea and eat some simple meals, and you don't have to ask for so much.

But Zhou Bingyu is different. Since he was young, he was well-clothed and well-fed, and his family background was not generally good. Later, because of his good bones and talents, he was taken back by the elder of the Qianyuan Sect, that is, his master, and became a very talented young disciple of the Qianyuan Sect. , and has been favored by everyone all the time. Fortunately, he is not proud of being favored. He still earnestly completes his studies and learns Taoism. The main reason is that he has a different curiosity about this aspect than ordinary people.

As Zhou Bingyu, who lived and grew up in the Youwo environment, once he was released, he didn’t want to eat rough tea and light meals every day like Master and the others. He wanted to eat his favorite Western food. He wanted salad, coffee, thick soup, and dessert. Small drinks, not a single one can be missed!

Because he can't eat meat, he can only settle for the next best thing, but he is very satisfied if he can eat it.

Eat even if you are sick.

After waking up in the morning and taking cold medicine, Zhou Bingyu slept for a day after taking the medicine. The sudden cold was still manageable for him. Now he was starving, so he found the nearest coffee shop to his apartment on the software , The above evaluation is not bad, the service attitude is good, the boss occasionally sees customers who read the same book as him, and sometimes gives them a snack or a cup of coffee.

Wiping off the runny nose again with a tissue, Zhou Bingyu decided to choose this one: I love reading cafes.

It just so happens that he also loves reading, and he will continue his studies at the Taoist Academy in Qingyuan City early next year.

There is no end to learning. Although he is usually a little skinny in front of his elders, he will never shirk when it is time to study hard.

Some time ago, I have passed the online registration, and the applicant is a full-time graduate student, and now I am waiting for the written test and interview.

I came to Qingyuan City ahead of time to familiarize myself with the local environment, and I had to meet for a while. The master and other elders mentioned the unorganized individual surnamed Wei to catch demons. I heard that his apprentice had already left the mountain. Naturally, I had to compare skills, the master said. It depends on whether their Wei family is stronger, or their Qianyuan sect disciples are stronger.

However, so-and-so's apprentices and postgraduate entrance examinations are not the focus now. The current demand is that he should have a good meal.

Yesterday she caught a cold because she didn't wear enough clothes. Today, Zhou Bingyu put on the thick down and sweater she brought with her, so as not to let her illness worsen.

A cold will slow down the body functions. The distance of 500 meters is clearly written on the mobile phone map, and it seems to be a kilometer to walk.

It was already around 15:[-] p.m. when we went out, and it took [-] minutes to walk to the restaurant.

Push the door and enter, the restaurant is fully heated and very warm.

Zhou Bingyu took off her coat and chose a seat with a sofa to sit down.

The kind and beautiful waiter asked him what he would like to order, is it a set meal or a la carte?

Zhou Bingyu doesn't eat meat, so he naturally orders what he can eat, which can satisfy his stomach's needs.

The interior layout of "I Love Reading Cafe" is eye-catching. Zhou Bingyu, who has a sick face, is very interested in the book area. She went up to find a book and read it while waiting for the meal.Sure enough, there is a reason for ranking high on the APP, and it is indeed very distinctive.

Chen Yuefeng, who had been accompanied back to the dormitory by Wei Zhihe for two consecutive nights, suddenly became more courageous. From classmate Wei, he felt positive energy that he hadn't received for a long time. The opponent feels it.Wei Zhihe is really a strange person, and those who can be friends with him must be very happy.

While sitting in the book-returning area, Chen Yuefeng caught the attention of a young man who was seriously eating dinner while sniffing. This man should be a little older than them, and he looks pretty good. I don’t know if he has rhinitis or a cold. He keeps sniffing. Flipping through a book in one hand and holding a tissue in the other while eating, it looks a bit pathetic.

The guest just picked a book from an unpopular area, took it back to his seat, and read it.

Zhou Bingyu still had a cold, and it was difficult to concentrate. After reading two pages of the book, he put it aside and began to swipe his mobile phone to reply to the concerns of the elders. He was going to contact his friends in Qingyuan City and get together when he recovered. Ask them about local conditions.

The waiter began to serve the meal, and Zhou Bingyu replied to the message while eating.

After 15 minutes, the waiter delivered all the meals. The things he ordered were relatively simple, and the kitchen was easy to prepare. Moreover, it was snowing outside at the moment, and there were not many people going out to eat at night, so the pressure on the back kitchen was not great.

Zhou Bingyu began to concentrate on eating.

Suddenly, the doorbell of the cafe rang.

Someone came in even before closing time, and the waiter at the front desk skillfully ordered a cup of hot chocolate for him.

After a while, another man with fashionable clothes and glasses came in. The waiter seemed to be very respectful to him. The online comments said that the owner of the store was handsome and tasteful, so he probably was.

The first person to come in was Wei Zhihe, and the second person to come in was Bai Fang. Both of them were eye-catching, memorable, and each had its own characteristics.

Zhou Bingyu couldn't help but look at them more, but he himself is not bad, it's just that his complexion is a little bit worse when he is sick, and he can beat them by three points if he turns around and dresses up well.

cough cough cough.

My throat started to itch again. The illness came on really urgently. I haven't had a cold or fever for many years.

Zhou Bingyu can't drink ice now, so she can only ask the waiter for a glass of boiled water to relieve herself.

Eating dinner is also a bit of a twist, and it's ten o'clock in the evening before you know it. It's not easy to have a meal.

Just as he was about to leave, Zhou Bingyu saw the handsome shop owner wearing a Buddhist bead with Sanskrit engraved on his hand.

Zhou Bingyu felt that this kind of Sanskrit was a bit familiar, and most people would not wear it on their bodies.

Bai Fang also noticed that the coughing guest was staring at the prayer beads in his hand, and subconsciously pulled down his sleeve.

Bai Fang, who changed a pair of glasses today, said politely, "Sir, are you going back?"

Zhou Bingyu nodded: "Yes."

Bai Fang smiled politely: "There is snow on the road, please be careful and walk slowly, welcome to visit next time."

Zhou Bingyu glanced at Bai Fang's wrist again, and said meaningfully: "Yes."

Bai Fang didn't understand why he kept staring at his prayer beads, did he know him?

Before he could figure it out, Zhou Bingyu had already opened the door and left. He was powerless to investigate now, his throat was so itchy, he went to the pharmacy to buy some medicine, and then wrapped himself in a quilt and fell asleep.

When the time came, Wei Zhihe and Chen Yuefeng went back to school directly, and they didn't hear any rustling that night.

Chen Yuefeng bravely chatted with Wei Zhihe about the thing that was following him: "I don't know if it's some kind of animal. Humans probably don't make that kind of sound."

Wei Zhihe nodded: "It's possible."

There is no wind tonight, so we can no longer fool it with the obvious reason of the air vent.

It's a little strange that Bai Fang didn't come with him tonight, but that's good, there's no need to scare Chen Yuefeng anymore.

Chen Yuefeng is in a good mood tonight: "Thank you, Zhihe, I will rest tomorrow and go to work the day after tomorrow, so you don't have to accompany me anymore."

Wei Zhihe said: "That's fine." He read the news yesterday, the robbery gang robbed the gold store in the early hours of the night, and they were all arrested at noon today. It is said that when the police found them, they were all tied up and their mouths were still gagged. Nothing they looted was left beside them.

I don't know what scared me, I told the police everything, and said they encountered a ghost!

Of course the police didn't believe it at all.

It was done by a well-meaning person who did good deeds without leaving his name. The police couldn't find anyone to issue a flag to him.

As soon as the robber was caught, the rustling sound stopped. It was hard for Wei Zhihe to know who did it. As for the "ghost" mentioned by the suspects, it must have been Fang in vain.

Wei Zhihe read the monster-catching notes for a few days and still couldn't find a reasonable explanation. Is Bai Fang a demon or just a human with special abilities? He has never heard of superhuman races. What is going on? You are a demon, but you still don't have any demonic aura on your body. Let's continue to read the book tonight, maybe we can find the answer.

Next, Wei Zhihe and Wei Zhihe were immersed in the joyful process of flipping through the book, their eyes were almost bulging and they couldn't find a reasonable explanation, and he almost wondered if his guess was wrong from the beginning.

After the break on Wednesday, Chen Yuefeng continued to go back to work in the store. He found a gap between classes and told Wei Zhihe that there was really no rustling when he came back at night. Stuff was scared away.

Wei Zhihe just laughed and said nothing, he didn't understand it himself, let alone explain too much to Chen Yuefeng.

Chen Yuefeng also took advantage of the rest time to change her hairstyle. Her whole body is much more refreshed and energetic. Her eyes, which were almost covered by Liu Hai, were exposed instead of just a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

At noon on Thursday, Wei Zhihe asked him to have lunch with his roommates. Chen Yuefeng was a little scared when he saw Sun Quansong, who was tall and strong and had a loud voice, but after getting in touch with him, he found that they were all good classmates. A few people who are always cynic and sarcastic are really much better.

Li Yingjun and others also re-recognized Chen Yuefeng through Wei Zhihe, and found that he was actually a timid, shy, and not very good at talking classmate. After learning about his background, they became big brothers who wanted to take care of him.

Chen Yuefeng had to remind them: he was two months older than them.

It was thanks to Wei Zhihe that he was able to make friends, Chen Yuefeng was grateful, but he was not very good at expressing, and only waited for a chance to repay his help in the future.

It was a bit late after class on Friday afternoon, Wei Zhihe decided to go back after dinner.

The weather is getting colder, and the roommates are willing to go to the cafeteria to eat.

After eating, he packed his backpack and prepared to take Xiaocao back to the store, but before he went back, Chen Yuefeng called him, and the voice sounded urgent.

"Zhihe, something happened in our store. My boss was injured by a strange young man. He is missing now. I don't know who to talk to. I am in a panic. Everyone is in a panic. Wait for the police to come."

"Don't worry, I'll go over and have a look, is the injury serious?"

"I don't know, I just saw that my boss's face was pale, he seemed very serious, and now I'm worried about whether there is an enemy seeking revenge, whether he will be..." Chen Yuefeng thought of many bad things.

"Then I know, you stay in the shop first, I'll come over right away." Wei Zhihe put Xiaocao back to its original place, put on his bag and went out.

Sun Quansong heard him speak, and asked concerned: "What happened?"

Wei Zhihe said: "Something happened in Xiaofeng's shop, I'll go over and have a look."

Sun Quansong didn't think anything was wrong.

Until Li Yingjun asked: "Chen Yuefeng is a part-time job, what happened to that shop has anything to do with Old Wei?"

Only then did Sun Quansong come to his senses: "That's right, did Xiao Feng fight with someone?"

Li Yingjun shook his head: "Impossible, his roommate speaks ill of him outside every day and never saw him do anything."

Sun Quansong's sense of justice welled up: "Then shall we go over and help?"

Li Yingjun: "Let's see how Old Wei handles it, he's much calmer than us, big fool."

Sun Quansong rolled his eyes at Fatty Li: "Go away, fat man."

It snowed two days ago, but it stopped today.

The snow on the street was pretty clean, but Wei Zhihe didn't choose to ride a bicycle, and took a taxi directly at the door to the coffee shop. The road was relatively empty during this time period, and there wasn't that much traffic.

When we arrived at the coffee shop, all the customers had been evacuated and a closed sign was posted.

After walking in, the coffee shop was in chaos. The most chaotic thing was the book area. Except for the bookshelves embedded in the wall, all the other bookshelves were collapsed, and the books were scattered all over the place. There was no place to stay.

The few remaining employees are now anxiously waiting for the police to come. The head chef in the back kitchen has all run out, and the other employees have been persuaded to go back. They will wait for the boss's notice before returning to work.

If the store is like this, it is estimated that it will not be able to open.

Wei Zhihe was also a familiar face in the store. Most people knew that he was Chen Yuefeng's classmate, so they didn't say anything.

"Zhihe, why did you come so fast?"

"I came here by taxi, tell me what's going on, and see if I can help."

"We called the police and are waiting for them to come."

"Well, is there monitoring? Let me see who that young man is."

At this time, the foreman clapped his hands: "Student Wei, you are so smart, we actually forgot to adjust the surveillance, and it will be used as evidence when the police come later."

Wei Zhihe said, "Where is the monitoring, let's go and see."

The foreman quite believed in Wei Zhihe: "It's in the boss's office at the back."

There were only four people left, one was the foreman, the other was the waiter, Chen Yuefeng, and the head chef.

Five people, including Wei Zhihe, went to the office, which was usually not locked.

The monitoring equipment is running, and two monitors are showing the situation outside the hall.

What they want to see now is what they discovered half an hour ago. Everyone else understands about the same thing, except Wei Zhihe, who hasn't seen it.

Wei Zhihe opened a shop himself, and the computer also has monitoring equipment, so he is very skilled in operating it.

After a while, he saw a young man appearing in the surveillance half an hour ago.

Wei Zhihe felt that he seemed to have seen this person before, but he still had a little impression: "Is it him?"

The foreman said angrily: "Yes, that's him. As soon as he came in, he rushed towards the boss in the library area without any explanation, and seemed to throw a bomb at him. We all heard the explosion!"

Wei Zhihe checked the surveillance in the library area and clearly recorded the "bomb" that the foreman said.

That's not a "bomb", it's a lightning strike symbol. Bai Fang in the video didn't notice it and was hit!

Who is that young man?

Did he discover Bai Fang's identity?

Just as he was thinking whether to put down his guard against Bai Fang, someone came to his door and gave him a solid blow.

If it is an ordinary person, the lightning strike talisman will not work on them, but if it is a monster, it will definitely be injured after being hit.

Behind the video is the fight between Bai Fang and the young people. At the beginning, there were bookshelves blocking them, and they couldn’t see their way clearly. After falling down one by one, Bai Fang was injured and ran directly outside the coffee shop. Afterwards, it can be said that it was a relentless pursuit, and there was no plan to let Bai Fang go.

At this time, Wei Zhihe already understood what was going on, the young man should be a Taoist, and he discovered Bai Fang's identity as a demon.

How did he find out that Bai Fang was a monster?I also stayed here for two days to make sure.

Maybe he has a different identification method, after all, different sects still have different unique secrets.

But, is this guy a fool, and Bai Fang is not a demon, why hurt him?

Now there is only one question left for Wei Zhihe: to save or not to save?

He has always been a popular scarf recently, and he doesn't like this title a bit.
