The Green-Faced Ghost gradually began to guess the other party's identity in his heart.
Judging from the clothes and appearance of this person, he doesn't look like a simple person, but the Central Plains has never heard of such a person. Could it be... that he came from the Western Regions? The Green-Faced Ghost
also
pondered for a while.
The black peacock... this kind of rare beast might be from the Western Regions. This black iron sword might have been lost in the Western Regions before and has only reappeared in the world now.
There are indeed many unparalleled masters in the Western Regions. In the past, some masters from the Central Plains had gone to the Western Regions to compete with others, and many of them never returned.
It is a very mysterious area there, and for the people of the Central Plains, it is like a layer of fog shrouding it.
However, if it was someone from the Western Regions... The Green-Faced Ghost's mind became active again. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Even if this person is a master, if she doesn't have the slightest foundation here, she probably won't be able to stand.
He glanced at the inn again. On the surface, there didn't seem to be anything strange about the inn.
No matter how powerful a person is, he can't fight against people from their sect.
But...
The Green-Faced Ghost glanced at the person in front of him and swallowed his saliva again.
The black iron sword was casually held in this person's hand with one hand, and was waving it up and down. Every time he felt that the sword would hit him.
If this thing brushed against him, he would probably vomit three liters of blood on the spot.
This is a threat, definitely a threat!
He didn't dare to hide it and said honestly, "I came from... the pavilion."
Grey? Why does this name sound like Xinjiang?
Feng Qing complained, then smiled and said, "I'm actually not very familiar with this place. I just came here recently, just wanting to open a small inn, and I hope you... can take care of me."
"You... are polite, you are polite." said the green-faced ghost.
He felt that he had learned a little bit by now, so he felt a lot more relaxed.
It seems that the other party also understands the principle that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.
Li Qi was eavesdropping on the conversation in front while boiling water in the backyard. As he was listening, someone suddenly knocked on the back door.
"Who is it?" Li Qi shouted in surprise.
At this time, everyone was gathered at the front door to watch the excitement, so why would someone come to the back door on purpose?
"Is anyone there?" the person outside shouted.
"Meituan——"
...
It seems that her method of overcoming strength with softness is effective.
Feng Qing silently gave herself a thumbs up in her heart. Look, this man has slowly calmed down.
Sure enough, her mother was right. Sometimes people in society have to be softer and can't always be tough.
Feng Qing, you are awesome. Yesterday you hired a chef yourself, and today you can communicate directly with the creditors who are collecting debts. You are getting smarter and smarter.
The Green-Faced Ghost had a clue in his mind at this time, and his tone became gentle again, "I wonder where you are from?"
"Ah? I... I'm from a very far away place." Feng Qing smiled and said, "You wouldn't know that place even if I told you, so I won't tell you." You wouldn't
know it even if I told you? It's probably a place that is so small that it can't be any smaller.
The Green-Faced Ghost suddenly felt comfortable.
How could such a powerful organization appear in such a remote and narrow place?
He put a smile on his face again, "Where, where... Although I am not very knowledgeable, I have been to many places in this world. You just need to tell me a general location."
"That place..." Feng Qing said, "... Actually, it's not too far away, but..."
But what?
The Green-Faced Ghost wanted to continue asking, but at this time a voice suddenly came from behind.
"Shopkeeper."
Li Qi came out with a plate.
There seemed to be something strange in his tone, but all the emotions in it were covered up by his paralyzed expression.
"Someone just sent you this, saying it's what you wanted, and they sent it as soon as possible."
Feng Qing wondered who would send her something at this time, and then she turned around and saw the plate and remembered.
Oh... it was the two kilograms of discounted lychees she ordered from Meituan.
Li Qi walked over in full view of everyone and put the plate on the table.
"Eat lychees." Feng Qing greeted the creditor in front of her, "Well, I didn't expect you to come. If I knew you were coming, I would have prepared something better in advance..."
The green-faced ghost swallowed his saliva while looking at the plate, and suddenly didn't know what to say.
Ah... Speaking of this Meituan delivery, Feng Qing thought.
It was actually quite interesting. It was indeed delivered by a delivery guy.
However, they drove to the door as usual and put down the food as usual. They didn’t pay any attention to the strange scene outside. It was as if they were delivering food at the filming location in Yokohama.
Feng Qing actually wanted to ask these Meituan guys why they wore helmets so strictly, even covering their faces. She had never seen a Meituan rider wearing a helmet so formally in her life.
But she was afraid that her words would cause some terrible consequences. After all, these seemingly "normal" Meituan guys were also full of abnormal feelings, just like the feeling her boss gave her. She chose not to touch those dangerous things. Anyway, the things
were delivered, so who cares how they were delivered.
Out of prudence, although Feng Qing knew that modern things would be transformed into appearances that suit the times in the eyes of ancient people, she still asked, "Who sent it?"
"A... person whose face I couldn't see clearly." Li Qi said, "He just came in from the back door. His attitude was very good. He even asked you, the shopkeeper, to give him a... five-star rating?"
"Okay, I got it. Put it here." Feng Qing pointed to the table in front of her. A smile instantly appeared on her face. She said to the creditor in front of her, "Eat, eat more."
It is said that it was inconvenient for people in ancient times to eat lychees... Feng Qing thought as she peeled them.
In fact, she is not good at geography. For a Northeastern person who is not good at geography, all geographical concepts in China except the Northeast are considered the South.
In Feng Qing's concept, there should be lychees in the South. But Feng Qing herself is aware of her poor level of geography, so she is still a little nervous in her heart.
But she glanced at Li Qi and found that he seemed to be quite calm when he saw the lychees, so Feng Qing was relieved.
It must be quite convenient, right? This country girl is so calm when looking at lychees. This child used to farm, so he should be familiar with crops. If it is inconvenient to eat lychees, she will scream.
The lychees were washed by Li Qi and put into a white and thin porcelain plate, which looked particularly tempting.
Actually...
...Li Qi just concealed one thing on purpose.
What he didn't say was that the man who delivered the lychees had extremely high Qinggong skills and wore a strange mask on his face.
The mask and clothes were all of the same standard, and seemed to be from a certain organization. Li Qi had never heard of any organization dressing like this. He left in a flash after putting down the lychees. His Qinggong skills were at least top-notch in the Central Plains.
However, such a master could only be responsible for delivering lychees under the shopkeeper.
The poem "A red-dusted concubine smiles, and no one knows that the lychees are coming" is known to everyone in the world, but Li Qi had only heard of this scene in poems before, and today he actually saw it with his own eyes.
Just this plate of lychees, judging from its freshness, it must have taken more than a dozen martial arts masters working day and night to deliver it here. To be able to do this, one must not only be rich, but also have a strong organization behind him. Even if the concubine wants to eat lychees, she has to go through so much trouble. It may take the efforts of thousands of people to get such a plate of lychees.
Is this the organization of the shopkeeper's subordinates?
Li Qi nodded secretly, thinking that he had touched a little bit of the shopkeeper's background.
Meituan...?
...
Feng Qing picked up a lychee and peeled it. Lychees were in season at this time of year. Fresh lychees produced in Guangdong had thin skin and small cores. As soon as they were peeled, a fragrance wafted out.
"Not bad..." Feng Qing thought as she looked at the lychees, "Not rotten... I thought discounted lychees were not very good, but they are still quite fresh."
She was just about to give the peeled lychees to the creditor across the street, when she suddenly saw a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Well, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home, so I won't stay here for long. Please forgive me, shopkeeper."
The green-faced ghost raised his legs and wanted to leave.
"Huh? You're leaving now?" Feng Qing was surprised and overjoyed at the same time, "You won't stay a little longer?"
What she actually wanted to ask was, didn't Li Qi still owe her money? Why did he leave so suddenly?
After hearing what Feng Qing said, the green-faced ghost's smile froze, and his smile was uglier than crying.
"You... do you want me to stay here for a while?"
He really wanted to use Tianyi Pavilion to pressure this man, but who would have thought that he would give him a warning in return.
Good fellow, he thought that he really didn't let him see any of his subordinates, but he used this plate of lychees to warn him.
The Green-faced Ghost was now full of suicidal emotions, and he had thousands of words to say, but in the end, it only turned into one sentence.
- You... since you have such great ability and come all the way here to deliver a plate of lychees, why do you still want to be the shopkeeper in this small inn! Although the
Green-faced Ghost didn't say it out loud, the tone of voice in his mind when he thought of this sentence was very sad.
Although Feng Qing hesitated for a moment, she definitely wanted the Green-faced Ghost to leave. She was so excited that the smile on her face deepened.
"No." She said with such a smile, "If you are very eager to go home, then I am still very happy. When are you going to leave? Li Qi, pack up quickly..." "No
! No no..." The Green-faced Ghost stood up, with a stiff smile on his face. He waved his hands frantically and said, "I don't want to go home so much for the time being."
... Especially to go back to my hometown.
"No, no, no, you're welcome." Feng Qing felt that she was being too humble. No matter what the reason was, she should just send him away. Just when she was still wearing such a kind smile, Li Qi beside her suddenly stopped her.
"Shopkeeper." He looked at her seriously.
"Huh?" Feng Qing was stunned.
She was actually shocked.
Because she suddenly found that her dark-skinned and earthy friend looked a bit handsome when he looked at her seriously.
Of course, at that moment Feng Qing thought it was an illusion. After all... How could a friend who was always being chased by creditors and was so poor suddenly become so handsome?
"Let him go." Li Qi said.
Oh? She really wanted to let him go. Feng Qing thought blankly.
Why did her partner's expression look as if she was not going to let him go?
"Thank you! Thank you!" The Green-faced Ghost stood up suddenly, thanked Li Qi repeatedly
, and was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He ran away without saying a word, leaving behind Li Qi with a gradually darkening look in his eyes and Feng Qing with a confused look on his face.
And... standing at the door, watching the lively folks with great interest.
