Seeing that the customer wanted a lot of Coke, Zhang Xiaobei hurriedly stood up and checked the shelves. Seeing that there were only six or seven bottles left, he immediately replied to the customer, tentatively asking if other drinks would be okay.

Yun Gu didn't know what the other drinks were, he just asked if they had the same miraculous effect as Coke.

Confused by Zhang Xiaobei's question, he tapped the screen carefully and asked the other party about the effect of Coke, only to see the other party reply him with two big characters.

——Infuriating!

Zhang Xiaobei was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and replied, "You mean carbon dioxide, right?"

Two... carbon dioxide?

Now it was Yun Gu's turn to be blindfolded.

Could it be that this is the secret of true qi, Yun Gu suddenly felt awed and said something.

"Then give me a dozen bottles of carbon dioxide."

After asking the reason, Zhang Xiaobei felt relieved.Although there were not many Cokes in stock, there were plenty of carbonated drinks, and many of them were put on the shelves for the other party immediately, but they were taken off the shelves in an instant.

What was exchanged this time was not only pills, but also many strange things.

There are magic tools for summoning tree demons and jade cages for subduing fox fairies. Zhang Xiaobei looked at them with gusto, but he decided to exchange them.In addition to these, there are Beihai pearls for instant pain relief, spices for calming the nerves and helping sleep, self-defense gourds, etc.It all sounded very powerful, and Zhang Xiaobei really felt itchy, but for the sake of Maomao coins, he reluctantly left the self-defense gourd in the end.

After all, he is the only one who lives in such a big yard, even though he has installed surveillance cameras in the yard.But the houses in the country are well soundproofed, so if something happens, I'm really isolated and helpless.Leave the self-defense gourd, after all, feel more at ease.

When I got it in my hand, I found that the gourd was only half the size of a little finger, and scriptures were engraved on it. The script was small and exquisite, and it was printed on the surface of the gourd, as if it was alive.When Zhang Xiaobei was watching it fascinated, a faint golden light suddenly lit up on the surface of the gourd.When he raised the gourd to take a closer look, the light suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if it was just his hallucination.

Zhang Xiaobei thought he was dazzled, and played with it for a while, liking it very much.Thinking about taking it to the town next time to find someone to punch a hole in the gourd and hang it around the neck.Just thinking about someone coming into the store, Zhang Xiaobei hurriedly threw the gourd into his pocket and went out to greet him.

"Xiao Bei, I'm here to buy a bag of salt."

It was Aunt Li from the village, holding his youngest son with one hand, her face was full of tears, and she looked directly at Zhang Xiaobei with aggrieved and slightly sad eyes, which made him bewildered.

Zhang Xiaobei agreed, and hurriedly went to the back to get a bag of salt and handed it over.

Aunt Li took the things and paid the money, but she didn't intend to leave. She looked at Lele, who was studying hard, and said with a smile.

"Why is Lele doing homework here?"

"Come and ask me a few questions."

"Hey, this kid is really studious, unlike my Xiaoxiong who knows how to play every day."

Zhang Xiaobei laughed for a while and said nothing, Aunt Li continued: "I think it's better to let Xiaoxiong also learn here, and you also give him lecture questions, teaching one is teaching, teaching two is also teaching."

Talking about pushing the child towards Zhang Xiaobei, he also took out the homework book he was carrying. It seemed that he had planned it long ago, and there was no room for him to refuse it.

Zhang Xiaobei had no choice but to agree.Only then did I finally understand, the child saw where his resentful eyes came from, and he only wanted this child to be as well-behaved as Lele.

But who would have thought that he was quite obedient at the beginning, holding a book and doing the questions according to Zhang Xiaobei's requirements.After sitting for a while, it's like a flea has been drilled in his body, tickling left, scratching right, any slight movement can attract his attention.

Zhang Xiaobei knew that children's nature was like this, so he just reprimanded him gently.Unexpectedly, Li Xiong became more and more reckless, as if he recognized Zhang Xiaobei as a bully, and started jumping up and down in the store.

Zhang Xiaobei threatened him by sending him home if he made trouble again, the child was not afraid at all, made a face at Zhang Xiaobei, picked up his homework and ran away.

Seeing him running away, Zhang Xiaobei felt relieved.

After closing the shop at night, Zhang Xiaobei simply washed up and went to bed.Unexpectedly, when he touched his pocket, the little gourd disappeared.Anxious, Zhang Xiaobei hurriedly searched all over the house, even under the bed, and there was no trace.Thinking that I was in the canteen all day, I didn't even sleep, and I was going to search the canteen.

But although the canteen is not big, there are so many things, and the gourd is exquisite, so I really don't know where to start looking for it.Zhang Xiaobei simply turned on the monitor in the store, wanting to see if he had fallen somewhere.

Sure enough, I saw it on the monitor, the pocket was shallow, and I accidentally fell out when I squatted down to pick up something for the customer.Zhang Xiaobei happily started searching in that area, but he couldn't find it.He looked through the surveillance carefully again in distress, and saw that the little gourd rolled away from Li Xiong's feet and disappeared.

Could it be that he picked it up?

The surveillance only took pictures of the child's back, and he couldn't see the movement clearly. Zhang Xiaobei didn't dare to jump to conclusions, so he had to search carefully several times, and went to bed when he couldn't find it.

The next afternoon, seeing no one in the store, Zhang Xiaobei closed the door and went to Li Xiong's house.

Seeing him coming, Aunt Li was not as eager as yesterday, she drooped her eyebrows, and greeted him lifelessly.

"Xiaobei is here."

Zhang Xiaobei didn't mind either, and cut straight to the point: "Is Xiaoxiong there?"

"Let's go out to play." Then the yin and yang said strangely: "After all, he is not as smart as Lele. If he can't learn, what will he do if he doesn't go out to play."

Zhang Xiaobei frowned, not understanding what he meant, he just said: "Yesterday I dropped a little gourd, when Xiaoxiong comes back, can you ask me if he saw it?"

"Did you drop a gourd? My Xiaoxiong is not good at studying, but he will never take people's things indiscriminately." Aunt Li said loudly.

"Aunt Li, that's not what I mean. I mean, Xiaoxiong..."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it." Then he pushed Zhang Xiaobei away, "I still have to cook."

Aunt Li closed the door, patted her sleeves and went straight into the room.Zhang Xiaobei had no choice but to go back to the canteen, wondering what happened to Aunt Li today.Before I got there, I saw a figure standing at the door of the shop. When I got closer, it was Aunt Wang.

"Aunt Wang, why are you here?"

"I heard from Lele that you lost a small gourd. I'll come over and ask, did you find it?"

In order not to be biased, before going to Li Xiong, Zhang Xiaobei went to Lele to ask about it, but he didn't expect it to reach Aunt Wang's ears so quickly.

Fearing that Aunt Wang might misunderstand like Aunt Li, Zhang Xiaobei hurriedly explained.

"I don't know where it fell in the commissary. I want to ask Lele if he has seen it. It doesn't mean anything else."

After hearing this, Aunt Wang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "What are you talking about, kid? I just came here to ask if there is any other meaning. Don't think about it."

Zhang Xiaobei heaved a sigh of relief, and heard Aunt Wang say: "Have you asked Li Xiong's child?"

Speaking of him, Zhang Xiaobei's face was full of sadness, and he told about the situation when he just went to Aunt Li's house. After hearing this, Aunt Wang was very angry, her eyes were rounded, and she stomped her feet angrily.

"I'll tell you why you just said that. The co-author is a man surnamed Li talking nonsense there. Let me tell you about Xiaobei, the whole village. I'm most annoyed by that woman. It's hard to tell."

Aunt Wang cursed loudly, which immediately attracted the attention of many passers-by.Seeing that everyone was about to surround her, Zhang Xiaobei hurriedly stopped her.

"Aunt Wang, stop talking, maybe there is some misunderstanding in the middle."

Seeing Zhang Xiaobei's face full of embarrassment, Aunt Wang quickly shut up, her voice was a little softer, and said: "Xiaobei, don't go to that woman in the future, and ask Xiaoxiong next time you see her."

While they were talking, they saw Li Xiong and some children running towards the entrance of the village, and Aunt Wang hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"Xiaoxiong, come, Auntie asks you something."

Li Xiong didn't know why, so he glanced at Zhang Xiaobei and walked forward slowly.

"Xiaoxiong, did you see a little gourd when you were doing your homework at the canteen that day?" Zhang Xiaobei asked.

After all, the child was young and couldn't hide things, his expression changed instantly, he shook his head and stammered in denial, and wanted to run away after speaking.

Aunt Wang saw the clue, stepped forward and grabbed his arm, and asked: "You child, why are you running before you finish talking? If you pick it up, return it to Brother Xiaobei quickly, the school will teach you to It’s okay to pick up gold.”

Before he finished speaking, Li Xiong broke free and ran away.

Seeing that he couldn't come out, Zhang Xiaobei felt a little desperate.At this time Gao Shang came up and said to him.

"What kind of little gourd, is it still engraved with words?"

Zhang Xiaobei's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Have you seen it?"

Gao Shang nodded, "Li Xiong is holding it, and he was showing off to us just now." He pointed to a few little boys beside him, "If you don't believe me, you can ask them."

The little boys nodded, sniffing their noses.

Aunt Wang clapped her hands, "No wonder that kid ran so fast, I just looked at him with strange eyes, let's go, we're going to the door."

Zhang Xiaobei was about to go to Aunt Li's door aggressively. Seeing Aunt Wang's attitude, the two of them were afraid to go and do it directly, so they hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Forget it, it's not a valuable thing. If Xiaoxiong likes it, just do it." Give it to him."

Since it's called a self-defense gourd, it shouldn't be harmful, Zhang Xiaobei thought, why make such a fuss about it.

Seeing what Zhang Xiaobei said, Aunt Wang had no choice but to give up, she sighed, her voice full of apology.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let Lele go to study with you. Not only did I disturb you, but I even provoked you to invite that woman named Li, and provoked you for such a thing."

"Aunt Wang, what are you talking about? What does it have to do with you?"

Aunt Wang sighed, standing restlessly guiltily, "Is that thing expensive?"

"It's not expensive, it's okay, it's just a gadget." Zhang Xiaobei smiled easily, which made Aunt Wang feel a little better.

I thought that the matter of the little gourd was over, but I didn't expect it to cause another storm in the village.

After that, Aunt Li didn't send the child to Zhang Xiaobei, but spoke ill of him in the village.

"What do you think he is proud of? He still looks down on my Xiaoxiong. He thinks that no one in my Xiaoxiong is happy to study well and is not willing to teach. Pooh, he studies well, he is a college student, why is he still guarding a small shop in the village. I think this college student is useless. He has studied so well, so why not? It’s not certain how he will fare in the future.”

"Hey, that's what you said. Are you saying that he is really a college student? Why would he really want to open a small shop in the village? How much money does he have to make in the city?"

Seeing someone agreeing, Aunt Li got excited and said hurriedly: "Who knows, I see Xuan."

The people next to them saw that the two of them talked more and more, they both shook their heads and sighed, and one of them couldn't stop listening, and tried to persuade him: "Okay, Xiao Bei is not a college student, you are a college student. His father is smart, and it is not easy to get into a college." Really, what are you making up here?"

Aunt Li rolled her eyes, disapproving, and said excitedly: "What's wrong with college students? I arrange people, whoever arranges who first. My Xiaoxiong went to the small shop for a while, and came to my house to ask for something lost. Pooh, who cares about him?" What about that little gourd, I think he just wants to blackmail people. I’m still a college student, and I’m ashamed of the university.”

"Li Caihua!"

As soon as Aunt Li finished speaking, she saw a roar from behind.
