Express delivery is a high-risk occupation

"Come." The shopkeeper handed the tea cup to Xu Mu with great hospitality, as if it was a top-quality Biluochun cup.

drink?how to drink

Xu Mu turned over several tables one after another in his mind, who wants to drink other people's nail polish remover?who?

If it weren't for the consideration of politeness and system scoring, I really wanted to turn around and leave immediately.

"Thank you, no need, I don't drink much tea, I usually only drink water." Xu Mu racked his brains but couldn't think of any good way to escape, so he could only politely decline the other party's kindness.

"Don't worry, this is not tea, it has no taste." The shop owner grabbed Xu Mu's wrist and put the teacup in his hand, "Drink it quickly."

Just don't worry!

The courier boy looked at the cup of tea with a sad face, his jaw almost crooked due to aggrieved.

[Drink it, soothe the nerves and calm the soul, it is very useful for you now, it is a good intention. ] At the critical moment, Fuzhu in Qilin Zhuli gave a reminder.

Soothing the nerves?

Xu Mu stared at the teacup, brewed his emotions for two seconds, closed his eyes tightly, raised his head, poured the contents of the cup into his mouth, and drank it down in one gulp.

"Thank you." The courier brother thanked the shopkeeper, holding the receipt, oiling the soles of his feet, and ran away quickly.

After making sure that no one was paying attention, Xu Mu walked towards No. 74, and asked Fuzhu in a low voice, "What is that glass of water just now?"

To be honest, the taste of that glass of water is very ordinary, and there is no special feeling in the body after drinking it.

【Your soul just left your body yesterday, your body must have been wasted, it should have noticed it. "Fearless" is the unique skill of this old nine-tailed sheep. The fur hooves on its body can have a soothing effect on humans. It is estimated that it will help you because it sees you as pleasing to the eye. 】After sharing ambergris for a long time yesterday, Fuzhu's tone was rare and gentle.

Xu Mu: ……………

That's why you wash your nails in that cup of tea?

"You said it was an old sheep with nine tails?"

【Well, that guy is called Bóshī (bóshī), and his original shape is a goat with four corners and nine tails, and his temper is always lukewarm, just like boiled water. 】

He has a gentle temper and will take the initiative to help others. In this way, this monster named Jiuxi is a good guy, no, a good monster?

Xu Mu looked back at No. 46, which could only be seen on the roof, and scratched his hair. It was hard to imagine a sheep walking backwards.

The Samoyed that often received the courier on No. 74 did not come out today. The door was answered by another puppy with red fur. It was at least half smaller than the previous white Samoyed. It looked more like a dog than a dog. Rather more like a fox.

The puppy's personality is much more enthusiastic than Samoyed's, and he even brought out an apple to give to Xu Mu.

Xu Mu looked at the row of sharp and obvious teeth marks on the apple and waved his hands wearily, declining the puppy's kindness. His spirit is really not strong enough to eat such a thing after drinking the nail polish remover of a nine-tailed sheep. only apples.

Looking down at the puppy pawing decently on the courier slip, Xu Mu sighed helplessly. The owner of this house is really a real person. Would you dare to send an animal other than a dog to receive the courier?

【Go home?I happen to be passing by the delivery point later, do you want to pick you up along the way? ] As soon as he set foot on Xiaosanlun in the deep twilight, Xu Mu received a text message from Feng Yuan.

[I'm on my way back, and it will take two to three 10 minutes. 】

[That's about right, I'll stop by the side of the road and wait for you. 】

【it is good! 】

Xu Mu put his mobile phone in his pocket, and rode a small three-wheeler towards the delivery point.Great, I have a ride today!

On the motorway less than [-] meters behind the small three-wheeled car that was speeding to the limit, a silver car followed steadily, neither far nor near.

Feng Yuan in the driver's seat slightly raised the corners of his lips when he saw someone on the tricycle in a hurry, and because of his excitement, it was worth making a detour to pick him up.

After receiving Xu Mu, Feng Yuan drove straight to a private restaurant that only accepts reservations from members. The most famous word-of-mouth dishes in this restaurant are the best Buddha jumping wall and old soup in clay pots. Feng Yuan made up his mind to bring Xu Mu to eat some good food. Replenishing the body, I called and reserved a seat early in the morning.

The private restaurant is located in a western-style three-story red brick building with a history of nearly a hundred years. The interior decoration is a combination of Chinese and Western, thick velvet curtains, crystal chandeliers that drag like skirts, old antique record players, Chinese-style wooden furniture with brass buckles, famille rose jade pots and spring vases, and gold-painted emerald screens all have strong style conflicts, but are unexpectedly harmonious.

There are no seats in the lobby in this store, all of them are private rooms.Feng Yuan booked the Peony Hall on the second floor. The two of them walked up the stairs covered with thick Persian carpets with the clerk who led the way. Xu Mu looked at the obviously expensive decorative ornaments around him. The more he walked, the more worried he was about this place. The price of food must be expensive, right?

"Otherwise, let's go back to eat?" Xu Mu uneasyly straightened the backpack on his shoulders, approaching Feng Yuan's suggestion in a low voice.It's not worth it to spend this wrong money!

"It's okay, my friend gave me a stored-value card here before, and I can directly swipe the card to spend." Feng Yuan took out his wallet well prepared, and showed Xu Mu the black bronzing card that said "Heyi Private Kitchen" inside. Membership card, to appease someone's little heart that loves money, "There are still five thousand yuan in the card, which can only be used here."

Hey, waste.

Xu Mu twitched his lips helplessly, and could only follow Feng Yuan and the clerk to continue upstairs.

The area of ​​the Peony Hall is nearly [-] square meters, but there is only a dining table for six people in the middle. On the wall on the left is a picture of a hundred flowers blooming with delicate brushstrokes. Overwhelming the crowd, there is really an artistic conception of "only the peony is really beautiful, and the capital moves when the flowers bloom".

There is a mahogany sofa by the window, covered with thick dark green brocade pattern soft satin cushions, for guests to have a small talk before dinner, and there is even a guqin in the corner on the right.

Whether it is the furniture, decorations or tableware displayed in the room, they all depict or portray the appearance of peonies, and even the corner of the napkin is embroidered with a peony flower in full bloom.It is self-evident where the Peony Hall comes from.

The clerk left the room to urge the dishes, Xu Mu walked around the corner and looked at the guqin, "Brother, are all the antiques in this store?"

Feng Yuan sat casually on the mahogany sofa. Everyone who came to this store for the first time had the same reaction as Xu Mu. They couldn't help but study the furnishings in the room, as if they were in a private museum. "Their boss He is a collector who likes Chinese furniture. It is said that most of the furniture was recovered or even refurbished by himself. However, the ones that can be placed here to decorate the storefront should only have a history of more than a hundred years. As for the porcelain ornaments , most of them are modern antique crafts.”

"What about this Qin?" Xu Mu pointed to the finely carved Guqin in front of his eyes.

Feng Yuan glanced at the Guqin out of the corner of his eye, and looked at Xu Mu narrowly, "I don't know, it's my first time visiting this Peony Hall, otherwise, why don't you ask it?"

Xu Mu: ……………

If it really answered, it must be a monster!

"Forget it, it won't be more than 100 years old by the look of it." Xu Mu picked up the ENDING for himself, turned around and walked to the opposite side to look at the painting.

He had just taken half a step, when he heard a slightly immature voice, 【Who said, the old man has been a spirit for 150 years. 】

Xu Mu staggered and almost fell to the ground, expressing that he was frightened.

What!You really answered!

Feng Yuan caught him quickly, and squinted at Guqin, "How old is it, you can still fall when you walk on flat ground."

Xu Mu sighed speechlessly, pretending that he didn't hear anything, can I turn off the extra channel that receives non-human signals?It is too easy to affect personal safety by being surprised.

Because the dishes have been ordered in advance when the seats are reserved, the time-consuming dishes such as Buddha Tiaoqiang have already been served on the stove. Feng Yuan and Xu Mu entered the room within 5 minutes, and the waiter brought three dishes and one soup to the table. .

[Smell, really fragrant, according to what the old man saw, today's Buddha Jumping Wall must be stewed very well. 】Xu Mu picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick up some vegetables, when the guqin in the corner suddenly said something again.

blah blah blah!

The chopsticks in Xu Mu's hand fell into the soup bowl.

He tried his best to restrain himself from looking at the side of the voice, so no one would talk too much?

The courier boy changed his chopsticks and wanted to pick up the shrimp, but Guqin spoke again, [I think today’s shrimp doesn’t smell as fresh as yesterday’s, it’s a pity. 】

You're only 150 years old, and you're only talking about an old man. In front of those old monsters who are hundreds of thousands of years old in the demon world, you still have the nerve to call yourself an old man!The voice is obviously tender!

Xu Mu complained secretly, because it said that the shrimp was not fresh, so it subconsciously turned around to grab the vegetables.

[Tsk, the fried three delicacies look pretty good, but it's a pity they're vegetarian. 】

Dear, are you from Station B?Every node floats barrage outwards!

Xu Mu put down his chopsticks helplessly and decided to drink the soup first.

[The old man advises you not to drink the soup. Last time, a customer had diarrhea after drinking the soup, and he came back to complain. 】

Can you make a guqin quietly and let me have a meal in peace!

Xu Mu gritted his teeth and glared at Guqin angrily.

[Oh, don't look at me like this, I will be embarrassed, to be honest, you are too young, in terms of looks, I still like the one sitting next to you. 】

You like it, and I like it too!It's not your turn to queue!Xu Mu secretly wrinkled his nose towards Guqin.

【Young man, you can hear me, right? ] Guqin's tone suddenly changed, with a touch of complacency.

It's too treacherous, it turns out that the front is trying to test me!

Xu Mu looked at the roof speechlessly, and was actually played by a guqin!

【I've seen someone who smells very similar to yours before. Your surname should be Xu too, right? ] Guqin continued.
