My Taoist companion is a little fox

Zhou Ke angrily left Baixi Garden with Qian Li, and said in a jerky way: "I won't stay, leave!"

"You really don't think about it?"

"Correct!"

He angrily left the gate of Baixiyuan, and when he went down the steps, he was bumped into by a person, almost falling backwards.

The young man hurriedly cupped his hands and apologized: "I'm sorry, please let me go." As he said that, he hurried past Zhou Ke's side, the soles of his feet felt windy.

"Hey, you—" Zhou Ke was hit so hard that his chest hurt, and he turned his head angrily to yell at the reckless person, but the other party had disappeared.

There was a weak and abnormal fluctuation of spiritual power left in the air. Zhou Ke's current cultivation base was much stronger than when he just went down the mountain. Even if the Yaojian jade didn't respond, he was keenly aware of the abnormality.

He froze for a moment, lowered his head and whispered to Qianli: "That's a monster that hides well."

Qianli looked up at him: "Are you still leaving?"

Zhou Ke thought for a while: "How about... wait a little longer? I want to see what monsters are doing in the world."

Looking at his expression from Qianli, seeing how he made a fuss when he saw a monster at the beginning, and now he is peacefully probing, suddenly felt a secret satisfaction in his heart.

So the Taoist priest and the fox demon stood at the back gate of Baixi Garden, looking at the cornices and blue tiles of the long street, and the maple leaves in autumn like fire.Pedestrians have broad sleeves like flowing clouds, and most of them are smiling, thinking that they are living smoothly in the Shangdu.

Zhou Ke looked at it for a while, and the irritability in his heart was infected by the leisurely and relaxed atmosphere everywhere in the capital, so he couldn't help but let out a beep: "It's really peaceful."

"The local geomantic omen is good." Qianli squinted his eyes and looked at the fallen leaves on the long street. "Not only is it good, but the aura is also locked in because of the advantage of the terrain, so it won't be afraid for thousands of years."

Zhou Ke nodded, observed the pedestrians on the street, and sighed even more: "There are a lot of long-lived people in this business city."

Qian Li frowned: "It would be the best for a mortal to live a happy life, live a hundred years without disease, and die in bed."

Zhou Ke agreed, and at this moment he heard the silly laughter of the old man coming from the Baixi Garden.

"Grandson, be good, grandpa will do a little trick for you..."

They turned their heads together, through the open door, they saw the young man who bumped into Zhou Ke rashly before, and came out with the stupid old man they saw in the backyard behind his back.The old man was covered in dust and dirt, and some saliva dripped onto the young man's back.

A few children followed them up and down with the playthings, and talked to the silly old man with a smile: "Okay, grandpa, what tricks are you going to do next time?"

The old man gestured on the young man's back with the expression of a three-year-old child: "I'll make you a puppy."

The young man said nothing, and the old man walked out quickly, silently shaking off the children.

When he was going out, the caretaker of Baixi Garden, who had nothing to do with his sleeves on, greeted him: "Oh, Xiao Bao, is Mr. Xu sick again?"

"Yeah." The young man named Xiaobao was slow for a while, "Uncle, next time the old man comes quietly, please ask someone to call me."

The old man at the door agreed, "Hey, next time I'm going to cheer up." The old man asked the old man casually, "Mr. Xu, do you still recognize me?"

Xiaobao stopped and waited for the answer from the old man on his back.

Old Xu laughed foolishly: "Father."

The janitor touched his hairy but white head, and pointed at Xiaobao with drooping eyebrows: "Then do you still recognize this young man who carried you?"

It was only then that Mr. Xu realized that someone was carrying him. When he lowered his head, his cheerful smirk disappeared, and he asked in confusion and vigilance, "Who are you?"

The gatekeeper looked at the young man with some sympathy: "Xiao Bao, why don't you send Mr. Xu to a nursing home some other day. It's not enough to run around like this. Mr. Xu is lonely if he stays alone, how about Go live with the old people in the courtyard, at least someone will take care of them so they won’t run around.”

"Thank you." Xiao Bao nodded his head, walked away without saying anything.When he went down the steps and saw the handsome stranger who had bumped into him before, he apologized to them again before leaving.

Zhou Ke watched their leaving backs, his vision blurred a bit.

"Okay, it's not a demon, shall we continue on our way?" Qian Li asked him with a smile while restraining his emotion.

Zhou Ke came back to his senses: "Oh, oh, let's go then."

They walked together on the street with rustling maple leaves, shoulder to shoulder, all a bit lonely, their spirits and spirits were completely different from those in the surrounding Shangdu, and they could be seen as foreigners at a glance.

When they passed by the door of a shop, a woman leaning against the door called them enthusiastically: "You two young men from the countryside, have you encountered any troubles?"

Zhou Ke and Qianli raised their heads together, and Qianli smiled lightly: "There's nothing more to worry about, and I'm about to leave Shangdu."

Seeing his appearance, the woman was stunned for a moment, then patted her legs and laughed: "You two are just young, I really want to stay in Shangdu for a few days, why don't you just find a part-time job? !"

Zhou Ke pulled a small burden: "Thank you, Big Sister, for your kindness."

The woman was clever and went straight down the steps, her face was painted with appropriate makeup, and she was especially friendly when she smiled: "You two brothers, it is fate to meet each other. Otherwise, the business of my shop has been very prosperous recently. The short-term workers in my shop ran away again, we are destined, I would like to invite you two to help me work for a few days, and my sister will take care of your three meals and lodgings. You can go to the mall to play in your spare time, how about it?"

Zhou Ke was dubious about such a good thing: "Ah, this..."

"It just so happens that the Zhuyan Festival in Shangdu will be held soon, and it will be fun. Brother, really don't you plan to stay and take a look?"

Qianli on one side tilted his head: "Zhuyan Festival?"

"That's right, it's an old festival for hundreds of years." The woman earnestly persuaded them to stay, her eyes were full of stars.

Qian Li was obviously interested, but he only turned his head to look at Zhou Ke.The little Taoist quietly pulled the big monster to his side, and smiled embarrassedly: "This makes us two brothers very excited, but big sister, you want to hire us so enthusiastically, little brother, I am a little flustered..."

The woman was also embarrassed, coughed and laughed softly: "It's actually like this. It's too expensive to hire people in the city. My sister, I can't make ends meet. I really can't afford to hire..."

The poor travel friends met the poor shopkeeper, the poor three saw it right, and soon became sympathetic to each other.Zhou Ke and Qianli looked at each other, and agreed to do a short-term job for the woman.

"Great, help the world! Just call me Sister Jiuyue, come in, brothers, come into the store!"

Jiuyue happily led them into the store, Zhou Ke bumped his elbow and fled away, his eyes flew up: "Brother?"

Qian Li wrinkled his nose at him and made a face, and transmitted his voice into his sea of ​​consciousness: "That's right, the big monster is still young, unlike the little Taoist priest, who has a story-like face before he is crowned."

After being ushered into the store, Jiuyue waved her hand, and introduced proudly in front of rows of exquisite small boxes: "Brothers, I will introduce my business to you—my sister is the favorite of thousands of girls in the shopping mall." The dream house that you patronize! My sister has everything the girls want!"

Zhou Ke and Qianli stopped mutual (da) mutual (qing) digging (ma) bitterness (qiao), stood in front of the counter for a while, Zhou Ke stepped back to look at the shop name hanging on the shop, Qianli then Calm down a bit: "...Sister, are these products?"

"Wan, Hua, Tube?" Zhou Ke read out the name of the shop with a dull expression.

Jiuyue answered the doubts of the two people with one sentence: "Sister, this shop specializes in the sale of rouge and gouache, listen to my shop name, how poetic!"
