Anecdotes from Mountains and Seas

Chapter No.17

Li Qing skillfully took out a ziplock bag from somewhere in his jacket pocket, and asked Yu Yuzhou to put the silver thread picked out from the fish's mouth into it.

Although he has always had an intuition that the group of bull-headed horse-faced people around him should not be ordinary people, but since he knew that Li Qing was the ancient beast Qinglong, Yu Yuzhou was still more or less awkward.That's Qinglong, the one who had nothing to do and was confessed by others, and now he is so humble and obediently following him as a little secretary, how much arrogance do he have?

Yu Yuzhou sneaked another glance at Lao Jin who was picking his teeth next to him—what could this guy be?Xuanwu?Suzaku?Tota Lee Heavenly King?

He also tentatively asked Li Qing, why did Qinglong, the majestic beast, come here to help him and receive such a dead salary of several thousand dollars a month, but Li Qing avoided it every time and never mentioned it.Yu Yuzhou had no choice but to give up.

He ate dinner very early, not because he was hungry, Yu Yuzhou was just afraid that Lao Jin would renege on his debts, and refused to invite him to the grilled fish, so he found a family to eat before four o'clock.The clerk in charge of placing the order in the restaurant was still awake, so he asked them to find a seat by themselves.

Yu Yuzhou looked around for about a week, and pointed to a place by the window, "That's it."

This point was when the sun was setting, and Yu Yuzhou felt that his injury was not a serious matter, but that his yang energy was a little weak after staying in the Yellow Spring Well for too long, so he should find a sunny place to bask in the sun.It's a pity that after so many years of evolution, people have already forgotten the basic ability of survival. On the contrary, some small animals have very strong instincts.Yu Yuzhou decided to sit there because he saw a kitten napping on the table and chair by the window.The one chosen by the cat is probably the one with the best sunlight in the entire room right now.

The young lady proprietress of the restaurant came out from the back hall and saw that these handsome young men were sharing a table with the cats, she rushed to chase them away, not sure if she wanted to chase the cats away or get close to them.

"Thank you Madam Boss, there's no need to be busy, let him rest there." Li Qing said expressionlessly.It's not that he deliberately showed people's face, Li Qing has always been such a person, except for Yu Yuzhou, he never communicated with anyone with unnecessary expressions.In the past, Yu Yuzhou couldn't understand, but now judging from the matter of Yingyu, it should be because the prehistoric beasts are not very understanding of the world.

The proprietress didn't feel embarrassed, and went back to serve the dishes with a smile.

Yu Yuzhou really didn't expect that such delicious grilled fish could be eaten in Jiangnan.The grilled fish came up, sizzling with oil.The cat next to Li Qing also seemed to smell the fish, got up and stretched, and poked around on the table, wanting to get a share of the pie too.

Li Qing is a Buddhist, and he doesn't bother to care about it.Lao Jin was eating vigorously, when it was Yu Yuzhou, he stretched out a hand calmly, and lifted the greedy cat from the back of his neck.

"What's wrong with Mr. Yu, you don't have enough fish, you want to eat cats?" Lao Jin's mouth was full and he still didn't forget to ridicule Yu Yuzhou.

The cat was exceptionally obedient in Yu Yuzhou's hands, even though he turned back and forth back and forth, he just suffered without the slightest resistance.Yu Yuzhou teased the kitten with his other hand, making "tsk tsk" sounds from time to time.

The proprietress originally liked Li Qing, maybe the elegant one, but when Li Qing called Yu Yuzhou "Mr. Yu", she didn't know what kind of company Mr. Yu was, and her expression was obviously good. A few points.

"Secretary Li, look at this cat." Yu Yuzhou carried the cat and approached Li Qing, and the cat's hair could even be seen falling into the soup pot in the setting sun.

Li Qing turned his wrist to block the cat Yu Yuzhou handed over, "I don't like cats."

"Of course I know you don't like it. What do you think this cat's whiskers look like?"

Li Qing froze for a moment, his beautiful eyes looked at the kitten through the glass lens.The cat's whiskers are white, not because it is old, but because some animals are like this, that is, silver-white whiskers.The kitten was very honest in Yu Yuzhou's hands, and the proprietress took the opportunity to say, "My cat is usually very fierce! I don't know why I met this brother so well."

Yu Yuzhou didn't bother to pay attention to her—although from the corner of her eye, the proprietress was also very beautiful, but at this moment Yu Yuzhou was still in a hurry to find the missing Su Yan, so how could she care about her.

Li Qing stretched out his slender fingers, his thumb and forefinger gently twirled the cat's whiskers, thought for a moment, and took out the sealed bag containing silver wire from his pocket.After a simple comparison, it is not difficult to find that the thickness and toughness of this silver thread are very similar to cat whiskers, whether it is texture or other things.

Li Qing frowned, and asked Yu Yuzhou, "You suspect..."

"It's not suspicious." Yu Yuzhou knew he was talking about civet cats.Indeed, since taking over the business from Su Yan, the civet cat has never appeared again, and no matter how I contact him, there has been no news from him; but during this period, the clues of the matter point to the civet cat several times, and from the bottom of my heart, Yu Yuzhou He had already begun to suspect the civet cat.It's just that he is a very defensive person, more or less subjectively he doesn't want to admit it.

"Hey, I don't quite agree with this! Picking up the root beard and saying it's a big cat's business? Who, Li Qing, don't you have a beard?" Time to express your opinion.What he said was right, Li Qing didn't have a beard on his face now, but it would be possible to transform back into a green dragon.

Li Qing must have had a headache for Lao Jin's inappropriate metaphor, and couldn't help but retort, "Do you know how tough a dragon's beard is? It can penetrate three points!" Then he tore one from the poor little cat's face, and gently tapped it with two fingers. A twist turned into a powder.

The proprietress, who watched the handsome guys bickering without saying a word, finally couldn't help but say, "These little brothers are not from the executive department, are they?"

Yu Yuzhou and the others were taken aback for a moment, they didn't expect the beautiful proprietress to ask such a question.Is the executive director already famous?Are you ready to make it public to the public?Will they be regarded as civil servants in the future?

Seeing that none of them talked to them, the proprietress thought that she had misunderstood, and she hurriedly said to herself, "It's okay, everyone, it's because I'm old and I recognized the wrong person. You guys eat, and I'll serve you two more bottles of Coke."

"How do you know the executive director?" Yu Yuzhou asked.

The proprietress raised the corners of her lips, walked over with a slim gait, and smiled, "It looks like it's really you." She seemingly casually took off the exaggerated ring on her index finger, intentionally revealing the tattoo underneath, and Yu Yuzhou glanced at it. I saw that it was a pattern of a little fox.Both Su Yan and Li Qing have such tattoos, and it is probably a sign of a ferocious beast.Although Su Yan's identity cannot be confirmed yet, it seems to be like this at present.

The proprietress took the cat from Yu Yuzhou's hand and hugged it in her arms, and sat down beside him gracefully, "I knew my eyes for hundreds of years would not be wrong."

Another hundred years.Yu Yuzhou was very speechless, ever since that Su Yan appeared, there have been more strange things around him, and there will always be prehistoric beasts coming to him.How much courage do you have to think that you won't take them into the zoo or research institute?This is too disrespectful to his policy.

The proprietress squinted at Li Qing who was sitting opposite, "Does this little brother have a girlfriend?"

Li Qing didn't want to answer, and Yu Yuzhou also felt that it would be troublesome to get entangled with this weird proprietress, so he immediately winked at Lao Jin.Lao Jin understood and immediately took Li Qing's arm affectionately, "Yes."

Li Qing was helpless, but he couldn't help it, so he endured it.

The proprietress blinked, "Just say it if you don't want to, why are you talking about it. Xiao Yang!"

"Come on!" As soon as the proprietress greeted, the shop assistant who was confused just now came out holding something, looking very positive.Yu Yuzhou can probably guess what this proprietress is—she is probably a sky fox. This thing can turn into a woman at the age of 50, and a beautiful woman at the age of [-]. Judging by her appearance, she can be eighty if not hundred. .

This beautiful proprietress is so fascinated by those little waiters, I'm afraid she would be willing even if she knew that she was working for a vixen.

"Guys, I noticed you when I was teasing that charlatan next to the Jiming Temple. How can ordinary people call Hei Wuchang to come? I was thinking, what Xiao Su said, should be It's just you guys."

The proprietress affectionately called Su Yan "Xiao Su", and Yu Yuzhou felt a little awkward.

The proprietress took a small box from the little waiter. At first, Yu Yuzhou thought it would be something strange. After all, NPCs of this level always appear with some important clues; A mooncake box made of tin.This year's Mid-Autumn Festival hasn't come yet, it must be last year's moon cake box.This vixen looks young and beautiful, but in fact she is a proper old lady in the 50s and [-]s.

"Xiao Su has already explained that if I see you anytime, I will give this thing to you, and I guarantee that you will need it."

The proprietress took the item out of the mooncake box and handed it to Yu Yuzhou. Yu Yuzhou looked at it repeatedly in her hand, but it was just a small jade seal, at best it was called a seal.There have been many such things since ancient times, and they have always been a symbol of the emperor's power. They have no other purpose, and Yu Yuzhou has never paid attention to them.

Lao Jin snatched the jade seal from him, and still muttered, "You see, you are uneducated."

Yu Yuzhou wanted to refute, but when he thought about it, he was just a highly educated illiterate who graduated from a graduate school for six years. He was indeed incomparable to a scholarly migrant worker like Lao Jin, so he didn't say anything.

"Ordered by the heavens, longevity will last forever... Hey Mr. Yu, this is the imperial jade seal!"

Lao Jin spoke seriously, not to mention Yu Yuzhou who had always been open-eyed when he saw money, even Li Qing's eyes lit up.

"Hahaha, I'm just kidding you. It says..." Lao Jin narrowed his eyes, "Yongle was first built, and the Tibetan scriptures can be enlightened."
