[HP Tomb Raiders Notes] Zhaoming

Chapter 31 A New Beginning

The two men sometimes went out after dinner, and she never knew what they were going to do, and she never asked where they went, after all, it was someone else's private business.But this afternoon, she happened to see some young people about the same age as A Yuan and a man in his thirties get off a minibus from the window, and then walked into the building.Those people gave her a bad feeling, so she quickly closed the curtains.

After returning from Lin'an Street that day, she paid attention to several shops, and after screening, she decided to go to the Manyumo drugstore.

Some slight noises came from downstairs. She felt a little stuffy in the room, but it was inconvenient to go out now.I don't know how late they will stay, Jiang Lin is a little anxious, she wants to apparate out, but she doesn't know how her magic power has recovered, so she dare not try it lightly.In the end, she went to the bathroom lightly, and when she came out after wiping her hands, she saw a tall black figure coming in from the window on the stairs, and she was so agile that she landed without a sound.Even standing on a high place, she still felt an inexplicable threat the moment she saw the man, and then conditioned reflex reached out and clenched the wand sheath around her waist.

The blind man just didn't want to knock on the door, so he climbed into the second floor.But he didn't expect that someone lived upstairs, and the other party was a girl, wearing a light yellow shirt, jeans and a ponytail.

So clean.

This was his first feeling, and then he noticed that the opponent's right hand was pressed to his waist, as if he was about to take out some weapon at any time, and he looked nervous.He quickly looked up and down the girl through his dark sunglasses, then whistled and greeted with a smile: "Hi, hello, I didn't scare you just now. My name is Heixiazi."

"Hello, my name is Jiang Lin." The girl's voice was calm, and the vigilance in her eyes remained undiminished.

He couldn't help touching his face, did he look like a bad guy?He was about to continue to ask her why she lived here, when A Yuan held the handrail of the stairs and shouted: "Master Hei, why do you come in over the wall again, every time you come out with a lot of mud. Come down quickly, you are the only one missing. "

He bowed his head and responded to the other party. When he turned his head, the girl had disappeared, and he probably returned to the room.He didn't care, but his curiosity was even worse, so he went downstairs and grabbed the young boy's neck and asked enthusiastically, "Who is that girl upstairs, your girlfriend?"

"Ah? Have you met Sister Xiaolin? She is Master Zhang's girlfriend, and Master Zhang can take care of her at ordinary times—Master Hei, don't make any plans." A Yuan said very seriously.

"Don't worry, I'm not so hungry and thirsty." The blind man smiled mysteriously, and then brought Ah Yuan to the living room on the first floor. There were already five or six people sitting in it. He greets.Only one person was unmoved. He was sitting on a single sofa with his hands down, wondering what he was thinking.

A young slender figure suddenly flashed in Heixiazi's mind, and he began to wonder what kind of girlfriend such a person would have.

They didn't leave until it was almost time for dinner, and Jiang Lin was also a little hungry. She went downstairs after making sure that everyone had left by the window, and happened to meet A Yuan and Zhang Qiling who came out of the living room.A Yuan hurriedly greeted him and said that he wanted to go out to eat if he was starved to death, but Zhang Qiling had no objection.

The three of them quickly packed up and went out. Jiang Lin was originally walking beside A Yuan, but the boy quickly moved aside, and now she was walking in the middle.Jiang Lin was quite speechless to A Yuan's actions, but he couldn't say anything, Zhang Qiling still didn't express anything, so this strange combination came to a small restaurant not far away.While waiting for the food, she suddenly remembered the man wearing sunglasses she saw in the stairwell this afternoon, so she asked, "Ah Yuan, who is that blind man who came here today? It looks a bit strange."

"Oh, you are talking about Mr. Hei. He is a guy who came out to do it alone, and he has cooperated with us a few times—that is, to buy goods or something." A Yuan said while pulling a few paper towels and stacking them together to set the dining table in front of him. After wiping it back and forth several times, it seemed that there were countless bacteria on the table. Jiang Lin felt that if he rubbed harder, he could start a fire by rubbing.

"But sister, don't think so just because Master Hei is handsome. Our Master Zhang is a good man, and there are quite a few girls who want to date him. Besides, Master Hei never forgets whether it's windy or rainy or sunny." I haven't seen him take off his sunglasses, maybe he has an eye disease or a birthmark." After speaking, he rolled up the tissue in his hand and threw it into the trash can next to him.

"Uh, I just saw him come in through the window today, so I thought it was strange, so I asked." She hurriedly explained with a big head, thinking that Zhang Qiling didn't know where to find such a fan.

Zhang Qiling didn't express any opinions when the two of them were busy ordering food just now, and suddenly said: "You should have less contact with him in the future."

Jiang Lin turned his head and saw that the other party was staring at him, and his tone was rarely serious, knowing that the other party was reminding him that the black blind man is a powerful person, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I understand."

As soon as she finished speaking, she came to her senses, and looked at A Yuan beside her, and the other party really made an expression of "Look, my master Zhang has already spoken".She secretly sighed, knowing that this misunderstanding would last for a long time, but she had to do so, after all, the relationship between her and Zhang Qiling could be explained reasonably, and her secret of being a wizard would not be revealed.She was very grateful to Zhang Qiling for everything he had done. He could do nothing, but he still did so much for himself.

The noisy small restaurant seemed to become less noisy. She and A Yuan were busy eating together, and Zhang Qiling was still silently picking up the dishes.Jiang Lin suddenly felt that this is not bad, so let her temporarily put aside time travel, job hunting, black wizard attacks and other messy things, at least for this moment she can really feel the reality of life.

Jiang Lin woke up early the next morning, just as Ah Yuan was going out, so she took a ride to the city.After watching A Yuan leave, she walked into the drink shop at the end of the street, and followed the previous road to Lin'an Street. When passing by a broom shop, she took a photo of the window to make sure that there was no flaw in the camouflage spell before following the address. Came to the Man Yu Mo drugstore.The potion shop is located at the end of Lin'an Street, far away from the bustling area, but it is quieter. A brand new black-lacquered wooden signboard hangs steadily above the shop door, with the words "Full Rain Potion" written on it in green paint.The facade wasn't too big, it could even be said to be a bit small, but she knew that the space inside would never be too small.She straightened her clothes, then took off her hood and pushed open the black lacquered wooden door.

There were many dark wooden boxes strewn about the shop, and stacks of glass jars against the walls filled with things she couldn't describe, but they weren't disgusting.A man in a gray pullover was busy behind a row of small glass bottles, flipping through the notes on the bottles from time to time, while the pen next to him was quickly writing and drawing on the notebook.

"Sorry, this store is not open yet, you can come in a week later." The man said without raising his head.

"No, I'm here to apply for the job." She explained.

Only then did the man raise his head and look at her, as if he was measuring whether she met his standards as a shop assistant.

"Okay then, show me your graduation transcript." The man put down the bottle in his hand.

"I'm sorry, I didn't bring it," Jiang Lin said apologetically, "But I think the grades at graduation don't have much reference value for the current potion level."

After she finished speaking, she walked to the middle of a pile of large glass jars, and then pointed to the first one and said, "It contains a pair of dragon hearts, which are necessary materials for making diaper water. Puffer fish eyes are used for moderators." She then opened a row of wooden boxes piled up at her feet, "Ash snake eggs, cure fever and make charm potions. Soundless bird feathers, make memory potions and truth truth potions. Gill sac grass, after taking it, you can dive." Then she closed the wooden box lids one by one, and turned to look at the man.

The man at the counter had already come out. He looked at Jiang Lin with satisfaction, and then stretched out his hand: "Welcome to Man Yu Potion."

Jiang Lin also stretched out a hand and smiled slightly: "I'm very honored. You can just call me Xiao Lin."

The man let go of his hands and scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "Alright Xiao Lin, I don't care much about you, so don't use honorifics. My name is Cheng Yun, and you can just call me Brother Cheng."

Then he introduced: "Manyu Potion is a drugstore that has just opened, and there are still a lot of things that need to be sorted out. You can see the piles here. Our current job is to clean up all the medicinal materials and specimens. I guess The owner will come to check the progress this weekend, and then open next Monday without any accidents, and rest on weekends every week, and the current store staff are only the two of us."

"The store doesn't provide accommodation, but three meals are included. The monthly salary is fifteen gold shells. Of course, if the performance is good, there is also a commission. What do you think?"

She nodded and said, "No problem." She was already very satisfied with this condition, so naturally she couldn't find any faults.

"Very good, now you can start working, remember to bring your graduation transcript and pass before this Saturday, the employer may check it then." Cheng Yun thought for a while and added.

She agreed, already planning to go to Scream Lane—a place that specializes in gray transactions—to get the necessary documents.She sincerely hoped that she would be a little luckier this time and not be found out again.

After a busy day, the messy front hall was almost cleaned up, and since the two of them cooperated efficiently, Cheng Yun announced that he would leave work at six o'clock.After saying goodbye to the other party, she went to Sharp Sound Lane, paid five gold shells and got the documents she wanted.She rushed back with her things, feeling extremely distressed. She could have saved some money to pay back the share owed to Zhang Qiling, but now she only has enough money to pay for the previous meals. Fortunately, the money can be saved in the future. Lose.

She returned to the residence at about seven o'clock, and A Yuan was not at home at this time, but unexpectedly saw Zhang Qiling in the living room, who was sitting on the sofa looking at a document, like a map or something.

"Well... I went there today to find a job, and the money will be paid back to you next month." Jiang Lin thought about it and said, "Three meals are provided in the store, but no accommodation is provided, so I have to continue to trouble you."

"En." Zhang Qiling nodded slightly to show that he knew.

"Uh, it's okay, I'll go upstairs first, you go to bed earlier."

"We will go out in a few days, be careful in everything." At this moment, Zhang Qiling put down the map in his hand and said.

It was probably something about the antique shop, she didn't ask any more questions, she just nodded in agreement, then waved to him and went up.

As he said before, the two of A Yuan went out two days later, and they didn't know when they would come back. However, she was busy with the potion shop for the next few days and didn't pay much attention to each other's situation. When she finally remembered, Suddenly secretly regretting why he didn't cast a protective spell on them or something.But even if he thought about it at the time, it might be a bit difficult with his unstable magic power now.She looked at her wrist, and the wound had healed, but there was a scar on it, which was rather glaring on her fair skin. She tried to find the potion to eliminate the scar in the potion preparation book in the store, but the price of the materials needed A lot of money, at least for now her savings are not enough.But she is not in a hurry, the money can be saved slowly, just be careful not to push up the sleeves.

After finishing the work in the morning, she and Cheng Yun sat at the table and had lunch, thinking about how to distribute the monthly salary, Cheng Yun suddenly hesitated and said: "Xiao Lin, what do you girls like?" A gift?"

"Well, cosmetics, plush toys, cute pets and so on." She put down the spoon and thought about it carefully, then tilted her head to list them, and added, "Who do you want to give as a present?"

"It's my girlfriend. She's celebrating her birthday next month. I'm going to give something to her, but I'm afraid she won't like what I bought." Cheng Yun scratched his head embarrassingly. He was obviously a rough boy, but he was a little cute at the moment. .

"Well, let's see, she's probably used to things in Lin'an Street. Brother Cheng, didn't you say that you can take a day off tomorrow Friday? Let's go to Hefang Street outside in the afternoon."

Cheng Yun readily agreed.

Before they got off work, they sorted out all the potion ingredients in the store. The counters and shelves that were messy before became orderly. After Cheng Yun locked the door, he followed Jiang Lin to Hefang Street.It was just at sunset, and the afterglow of the setting sun coated this ancient stone road with a layer of gold, and various small shops were also opened. Pedestrians stopped at the shops they were interested in, and it was very lively.They found a food stall for dinner, and then started shopping on the street.Cheng Yun was not very familiar with Muggle things, Jiang Lin gave him a brief introduction from time to time, the sky gradually darkened, and after Cheng Yun bought a pair of wooden hairpins at the girl's suggestion, it was already midnight.

"Thank you so much. Where do you live, how about I take you back?" Cheng Yun suggested enthusiastically.

She thought that the place where she lived was a little far away, so she waved her hand and refused, but she couldn't hold back the enthusiasm of the other party, so she had no choice but to ask Cheng Yun to take her home.When she saw the familiar three-story building, she explained to Cheng Yun that she was coming soon, and asked him to go back first.The man made sure that this was near where she lived before leaving in peace.

What a responsible person, Jiang Lin sighed.

She approached the old old building and found that the windows on the second floor were lit. She felt a little dazed, and then realized that those two people must have returned. When she opened the door and walked in, she found that there were still people in the living room, but the light was dim So I didn't see clearly just now.

Zhang Qiling lay on the sofa, as if he was fast asleep.

Jiang Lin stood at the door for a while, and finally walked in lightly. At this time, in the dim light, she found that the other party was frowning slightly, looking a little tired, and his clothes were not very clean.She transformed the cushion on the opposite sofa into a blanket to cover him, and then took off his shoes. After doing all this, she knelt down uncontrollably to take a closer look at the familiar face.Again, she admits that even though Zhang Qiling is a bit sloppy now, he still can't hide his stern temperament.She had seen many good-looking boys, but none of them would give her such complicated feelings.Sometimes seeing him alone, it seems that time has stopped on him. There is a sense of vicissitudes of the ages, which is in huge contrast with his young face, but it is so reasonable.

After a while, she got up and closed the door softly.

After the girl left, the man on the sofa moved his eyelashes slightly, and opened his eyes in the dim room the next moment, staring at the ceiling, wondering what he was thinking.

The author has something to say:

There is no big plot, and I don't know when Master Hei met Zhang Qiling, so let's arrange it like this.Don't worry, Lord Hei is only a little curious about the heroine because of my brother.

So do you want to add Master Hei's bg into it?But it is estimated that it will be a long time later.
