Chapter 158 Reluctant
Zou Yu and Zhang Manxue were busy packing their luggage.
The heavy quilt and mattress were also stuffed into the cloth bag.
"Alas." Zou Yu sighed deeply as he looked at the neatly stacked wood in the house. "It was all in vain to cut down the trees and prepare so many things. I'll just give them away."
Zhang Manxue felt a little reluctant to hear him say that.
It’s not that I can’t bear to leave this home, but I can’t bear to leave the efforts both of us have put in.
"Then what do you say we should do? We can't bring it to the hotel either."
"Never mind. We can safely spend the winter in the hotel anyway. Let's continue packing."
Zou Yu withdrew his gaze from the wood and, after careful consideration, decisively discarded it.
At this time, a person walked in from outside the door.
"Brother, are you busy?"
The two turned around and it turned out to be Lao Zhang.
"Brother Zhang is here." Zou Yu glanced at his wife and greeted her casually.
Old Zhang kept clicking his tongue as he touched the wood stacked in rows.
"Brother Yu is indeed a skilled hand. Look at how he split the wood. It's so neat and clean."
Old Zhang glanced at the two of them, thought about it, and walked into the room calmly.
Zhang Manxue, who had been secretly observing him, bumped into Zou Yu and winked at him.
Zou Yu frowned, "Brother Zhang, what do you mean by this?"
"Hey, it's nothing, nothing."
"If there's nothing, why are you going in?" Zou Yu threw the package on the bed with an unmoved expression and pretended to roll up his sleeves.
"Hey brother, don't worry, I'm just taking a look. If you don't like it, I'll leave right away. Why are you rolling up your sleeves?"
Old Zhang waved his hands and moved out.
"Why are you like a leper?" Zhang Manxue picked up the package and stuffed the pillow into it.
This material is non-renewable.
If one day they don’t plan to stay in a hotel, they don’t have to worry about these things anymore.
"He's attracted by our wood and house."
"I know. As soon as he arrived, I knew what was going on. I really can't accept this." Zhang Manxue stamped her feet in anger. "The thought of giving away what we worked so hard to carve is just too much."
"And we spent points!" she added.
Zou Yu also felt a headache, "How about selling it to him?"
"Does he look like someone who would spend points?"
"What should we do then?"
Zhang Manxue came up with a good idea.
"Give it to someone! Give it to Sheng Nan! She has a high level of ability and hasn't booked a room yet. She must be spending the winter outside. Let's just consider it a favor."
Zou Yu's eyes lit up, "I agree!"
"Go and see if she's home and talk to her."
“Hey!”
Seeing him coming out, Lao Zhang at the door quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Get out, brother."
Zou Yu passed by like a gust of wind.
"Yeah." Old Zhang waved his hand, looked inside the house and squatted down again.
After a while, Zou Yu ran back with a happy face.
"You're back, brother." Lao Zhang smiled and stood up again.
Zou Yu didn't even look at him.
"Who is this?"
After being snubbed repeatedly, the shameless old Zhang began to feel a little embarrassed.
Never mind, just consider it for the sake of the house and the firewood.
Speaking of wood, he had prepared a lot of it, but in the end, it was taken away by those two people.
What is lost will always come back.
Suddenly he was kicked twice on the buttocks.
"Who is it! Oh, it's Sheng Nan, you come here..."
"Get up and don't block the way." Sheng Nan gestured for him to squat aside.
Old Zhang nodded and bowed before standing up and leaving.
Soon he saw Sheng Nan and Zou Yu coming out carrying wood.
"Hey, what are you doing..."
Sheng Nan gave him a sidelong glance.
"It's okay, it's okay. Do you need my help?"
No one paid any attention to him.
Old Zhang rubbed his hands in embarrassment.
He watched helplessly as the room full of wood was emptied, feeling extremely complicated.
Zhang Manxue and Zou Yu walked into the holiday hotel carrying large and small bags.
Old Zhang looked back and saw that the house was empty and his heart was empty too.
He sighed heavily, got up and went to find Xiongxiong to book a room.
In the hall, there were several people gathered in front of the cashier counter, all of whom looked familiar.
Boss Xia was sitting on the sofa, slurping spicy snail noodles.
Aren’t you afraid of getting stomach upset if you eat such spicy food early in the morning?
Lao Zhang would not admit that he wanted to eat it too.
He pushed through the crowd and came to the front, saying to Xiong Xiong:
"Manager Xiong, please register me as well. I just want a single room."
"Register your information here and I'll notify you when a room is available." Xiong Xiong pushed the notebook over.
"Are you kidding me? Why are you cutting in line, Zhang?"
"Just this once, just this once, don't get angry." Lao Zhang didn't care about anything else. After fooling around, he took the pen and wrote down his name and other information.
"You guys are busy, I'm leaving. Boss Xia, I'm going out."
"Let's go now. It's annoying just to look at you." The customer who was pushed to the back glanced at Xia Yan but didn't dare to say anything unpleasant. He could only blame himself for his bad luck.
As long as the customers' verbal conflicts don't get out of hand, Xia Yan won't pay any attention to them.
People have many ideas and many conflicts.
In order to prevent out-of-town customers from feeling unfair, Xia Yan simply allowed them to make reservations without any restrictions.
When there is a vacancy, we will notify you to check in in order.
...
"Can what you said be accomplished?"
"It's possible. Didn't you see that someone moved in today? As long as there's a vacant room, it's fine." The long-eared man took out the last cigarette from the cigarette box and sniffed it.
"Are there any more? Give me one." The man with pigtails reached out to take it, but was opened by his palm.
"No more, just this one. Where's yours?"
“No more.”
"Looks like I have to go to the black market to get some tobacco. Damn it, I feel like I'm dying without cigarettes, and life is meaningless." The long-eared man took out a lighter, lit it, took a deep breath, and exhaled the smoke.
"Give me a puff." The man with the pigtail leaned forward and took a sip, his face intoxicated. "It's amazing. I've never felt cigarettes were so fragrant before."
The long-eared man laughed, "Stupid, there's something inside. Otherwise, how could a box of cigarettes sell for 20 Level 2 Crystal Cores?"
He took another breath, squinting his eyes to enjoy the surging pleasure in his body. After a shudder, his supernatural power increased slightly again.
The man with pigtails took the opportunity to take another puff.
"I know there's something added to it. Could it be...that?"
"No, it's just the blood of someone with special abilities."
"Can this thing be passed on to others?" The man with pigtails thought it was unrealistic.
If it really was blood, this psychic would be going crazy trying to snatch it away, so who would spread the news?
"How is it impossible? You don't know how powerful the forces behind it are. Who would dare to touch them? And I've even seen the cigarette making process with my own eyes."
“I’ve never seen it before.”
"Who knows what you are doing, you idiot?" said the pointy-eared man unhappily.
"Let me take one more puff and I'll forgive you for your offense. Keep talking, I love to hear it."
"You can smoke, but give me one later. I didn't ask for more."
"make a deal!"
The long-eared man took several deep puffs, leaving only the cigarette butt. After recovering, he lazily said, "I've only seen it that once.
When promoting cigarettes, they were sold at too high a price. Who would be willing to spend such a large sum of money to buy a box of cigarettes?
The group had no choice but to take out a blood potion on the spot, saying that it was a new potion that could enhance superpowers, and that the effect would be doubled when used with tobacco leaves.
As he said this, he injected a small portion into the cigarette, lit it, and asked everyone to take a puff, and not to smoke too much.
I tried it too, and it was indeed awesome.”
