You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

"Proportion..."

Xi Meng snorted softly: "You all say you know your limits, but you still rush in headfirst?"

She waved her hand unhappily.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you guys, it's all nonsense anyway."

"I hope to see you tomorrow too."

"Let's go and have a big meal."

Su Chen watched her with a smile as she turned to Song Anhui's room.

He looked up at the gloomy sky, sighed silently, and stood up to pack up his stall.

After taking Yueyue and Acai home, having dinner and taking a quick shower, Su Chen continued to sit at the desk and carve jade.

During this time, Liu Chunhua came in and served tea.

She sat beside him and chatted with him about trivial matters at home, and urged Su Chen to buy clothes and shoes for the children.

At nine o'clock, she yawned and was sent back to the house by Su Chen.

One o'clock.

Su Chen put down the chisel, raised his hand, moved his fingers slightly, and a breeze blew away the powder on the jade.

The phoenix on the jade stone is also bent.

not bad.

Su Chen nodded with satisfaction.

It's time to sand it, but unfortunately I don't have the right tools on hand.

Forget it, I'll call Brother Yu tomorrow to ask.

After putting the jade away, Su Chen stood up and the phone rang.

When he heard Chang Yu's voice, Su Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"came back?"

"Are you in danger?"

Chang Yu let out a long breath.

"Don't say that, I almost couldn't come back."

"I was too confident. I thought that with so many seniors around, everything would be safe."

Su Chen walked towards the bedroom: "You don't think it's foolproof, otherwise you wouldn't have faxed it to me."

"You are the last resort."

"We are trapped inside. As long as we think about staying calm, even if we can't get out, you will definitely come. There is nothing to worry about."

That's easy to say.

Su Chen asked: "Have you met anyone from other forces?"

"How do you know?" Chang Yu got angry when he mentioned this. "I tell you, that group of rabble are idiots. We were fine when we went in, but they had to set fire to everything."

"The space is unstable and is being torn apart."

Speaking of business, Chang Yu said seriously: "By the way, this time we received news that there are two towns that are inaccessible and completely isolated from the surrounding areas."

"After we went in, several seniors quickly discovered spatial anomalies in the town, like debris. We walked very carefully, but then that group of people just blew it up with explosives... I really..."

Su Chen asked: "Where are the people?"

"They started bombing because they couldn't find anyone."

"Not only people, but all living things in the town have disappeared."

"They wanted to blow it up to see if there were any rats or anything like that underground."

Su Chen nodded: "No."

"Yeah, it's similar to the dock you mentioned at noon."

"Su Chen, it has already begun."

Su Chen was already lying on the bed, looking at Song Shumo with the cat beside him. He tucked the corner of the quilt for him and said softly, "It's okay, everyone will get used to it slowly."

Even if you are not used to it, you will get used to it.

After all, only the fittest survive.

Chang Yu sighed: "Compared to you, I feel that my mentality is still not stable enough."

"Okay, go back early and have a good rest."

After hanging up the phone, Su Chen closed his eyes, but his fingers were moving slowly.

in the dark.

Song Shumo slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes fell on the moving fingers for a long time before he closed them again.

The next day, when Su Chen arrived at the teahouse, he saw a young man in a Taoist robe sitting opposite Xi Meng. Xi Meng's eyes were not eyes, and her nose was not a nose. When she saw Su Chen, she snorted softly, "What did I say? This guy never comes to the temple for no reason. Don't let him get close to you."

Su Chen bowed to Taoist Qingwei and said, "I've heard of your great name for a long time."

Qingwei stood up and bowed to him, inviting Su Chen to sit down.

"Are your people still trapped inside?" Su Chen asked.

"They can't be said to be my people," Qing Wei shook his head, "They were all summoned at short notice. If they die, they die."

Ximeng widened her eyes, then crossed her arms and squinted.

"Qingwei, you wouldn't... use them to wade through water?"

Taoist Qingwei smiled: "Almost."

"I knew it." Xi Meng curled her lips, "Then why did you look for Master Su?"

"They are too weak."

Qingwei looked at Su Chen: "Don't you want to know where those people who disappeared went?"

"think."

"I think so too. We have the same goals, so we can cooperate, right?"

Su Chen looked at the smiling face and curled the corners of his mouth.

Taoist Master Qingwei has a harmless face, especially when he smiles and reveals two deep dimples, which makes him look even kinder.

pity.

"I just want to quietly set up a fortune-telling stall."

"I don't really want to get involved in these things."

Qingwei raised his eyebrows and smiled again: "It's okay, we are just chatting today, there is no rush to move forward immediately."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Xiao Liu'er.

"Xilan's daughter is quite capable."

Xi Meng stood up as if someone had stepped on her foot: "Qingwei, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to use Xiao Liu'er to force Taoist Su? I'm telling you, you can't be shameless!"

"Look at you, you are still so impulsive. I didn't mean that." Qingwei spoke slowly.

Xi Meng put her hands on her hips and said, "I'm impulsive? Everyone knows you're a hypocrite, cruel and ruthless."

"It's been a long time since we last met. You actually know so many idioms now?"

"Don't interrupt me!" Xi Meng was inexplicably angry. "Tell me honestly, did you secretly cast some kind of spell on Xiao Liu'er? I'm telling you, if anything happens to Xiao Liu'er..."

"May I be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."

Xi Meng was stunned for a moment, squinting her eyes and looking carefully at Taoist Qingwei.

The latter smiled bitterly: "What did I do before to make you so wary of me?"

"Before," Xi Meng stiffened her neck, "Isn't it because of you that Xi Lan, that idiot, became what he is now?"

"She volunteered."

"Nonsense! Who wouldn't agree with a face like yours and your clever words?" Xi Meng said angrily. "You used to be able to force a ghost king to voluntarily die with just a few words. Do you think I don't remember?"

"That's called hypnosis."

"I don't care if you're hypnotizing me or something, you're just not trustworthy."

When Su Chen heard Qingwei talking about hypnosis, he moved his fingers.

Qingwei noticed it and looked at him: "Master Su, please consider my proposal carefully."

"I will."

As if sensing Su Chen's lack of interest, Qing Wei spoke up: "Master Su should know about the end of the world."

Xi Meng said disdainfully: "Nonsense, you said you don't know?"

"The end of the world is the end of the world, it's just death."

"It's kind of romantic to die together, isn't it?"

Qingwei: "..."

He smiled: "Many predecessors have tried hard to prevent the end of the world."

"No need to say, it's useless." Xi Meng waved her hand.

"Not necessarily. Some seniors are always persistent, and some plans are beyond imagination and continue to this day." Qingwei said, looking at Su Chen meaningfully, "I think Master Su should be interested in these plans, right?"

As he spoke, he picked up a briefcase he was carrying, placed it on the table and slowly pushed it in front of Su Chen.

“This is my sincerity in cooperating.”

He stood up: "Xi Meng, see you next time."

"Who wants to see you? The farther away from me the better, you..."

Xi dreamed that Qingwei disappeared and decisively shut up.

Her eyes fell on the briefcase. She hesitated for a moment, then reminded him, "Master Su, one person's ability is too small to shoulder such a huge responsibility."

"Enjoy life while you can."

Su Chen smiled at her and gently unzipped his briefcase.
