Monster Inn Rectification Report

Seeing Yu Li's reaction, Xie Fei couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

What the hell is the North Pole... a polar bear?Arctic fox?Arctic rabbit?It can't be Arctic shellfish, right?

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a howl, and when he turned his head, he saw a woman in her twenties rushing into the police station with her mouth covered.

Xie Fei didn't take it seriously, but when she passed the gate of the police station, she heard the gatekeeper chatting with someone: "This is the third time, why do people keep reporting missing cases recently?"

Xie Fei turned her head subconsciously, and the woman's back had disappeared behind the office building.

Because of the delay for a while, it was a bit late for the two of them to go to the morning market again.

Fortunately, the things Xie Fei wanted to buy were highly substitutable, and they kept shopping until the morning market dispersed and the shops opened one after another, before they bought a lot of money.

On the way back on three rounds, Xie Fei heard shouts with a sense of age coming from the street——

"The rattle drum turns the windmill, and the glass pops and draws sugar figures."

He followed the sound and saw that it was an old man selling picture candy. He was thin and thinly dressed, sitting curled up on a small stool, looking a little pitiful.

Probably sensing his scrutiny, the old man met his gaze and smiled kindly.

"Brother, shall we buy a sugar figurine?" Xie Fei suddenly proposed.

After a while, he heard Yu Li's cold reply: "You are the only one who has a lot to do."

Xie Fei translated it by herself as "Allow to pass", came to the old man on a bicycle, stared at the turntable engraved with twelve zodiac signs, and said, "How much is it for one turn?"

"Twenty." The old man squinted and smiled.

"..."

Xie Fei's pretentious sympathy disappeared, but he is also a person who can make money now, twenty is twenty, "Then I will transfer once."

He got out of the car and walked to the turntable, flicked his index finger lightly, and the pointer made of bamboo slices rotated accordingly.

"I'm a dragon, let me turn into a dragon." Xie Fei bowed with folded hands.

The old man smiled meaningfully. His turntable was secretly equipped with a mechanism. At most, it would turn out an animal that didn't take much time, just like now...

"Oh, it's a mouse—"

The old man was pretending to be sorry, when he saw that the pointer that was about to stop turned a lot more for no reason, and stopped abruptly in front of the "Dragon Picture".

I am dazzled? ? !

The old man suspected that he was hallucinating, so he saw the boy in front of the stall clapping his hands excitedly: "It's really a dragon!"

"..."

Well, the dragon is the dragon, anyway, there is no business at this point, at most it will take some effort.

The old man scooped up some thick sugar juice melted by high temperature with an iron spoon, skillfully poured it back and forth on the marble slab, and gradually outlined the outline.

Xie Fei loved to watch sugar figurines since she was a child, and she was also staring at them intently at this moment, when she suddenly heard a cold snort: "You are drawing a dragon?"

The bearded man was obviously very unhappy, with a disgusted look on his face: "Whether you can draw or not, let me do it!"

The old man was not angry either, he was still smiling and said, "I add [-] more to my painting."

"Success, get up and drive!"

The old man gave in decisively.

Xie Fei looked at the old man again, there was nothing amiable about him, he was clearly a profiteer.But seeing Yu Li's full momentum, he is still looking forward to the upcoming face-slapping scene. After all, Yu Li has mastered so many folk skills, it is not surprising that he can draw sugar figures.

however……

"Mom, why is there no centipede on the turntable?" The five or six-year-old boy pointed at the turntable with a puzzled face.

The woman dressed as a tourist next to the boy coveted the "painter" embarrassingly, and said with a dry smile, "What centipede? Uncle drew a horse."

"But there are musts."

"That's not a whisker, that's a horse's mane."

Following the conversation between the two, Xie Fei watched Yu Li's movements become more and more stagnant, and finally threw the spoon angrily: "Okay!"

The tourists in front of the booth were all silent, only the old man calmly glued bamboo sticks to the sugar figurines, then scooped them up with an iron sheet and handed them to Xie Fei, shouting loudly: "Come on! Dragon one!"

Yu Li's face became even more stinky.

Away from the stall, Xie Fei took the sugar figurine in one hand and pushed the cart in the other. He carefully glanced at Yu Li with a sullen face. Before he could say a word, the other party asked angrily, "What are you looking at? Or have you seen it?"

Xie Fei thought I've seen it before, it's really not how you drew it, but her mouth is very cute: "You."

Yu Li probably didn't expect Xie Fei to be so obedient, but instead choked, and it took him a long time to find a point of criticism: "Why don't you eat, are you dissatisfied with my dragon?"

"No, brother gave it to me, I am reluctant to eat it." Xie Fei knows the art of language very well.

Sure enough, Yu Li's expression softened a little, and his voice became warm: "Hey, there is a little flaw in the painting this time, but you don't have to confess."

Xie Fei: "..."

After successfully coaxing Yu Li well, the atmosphere along the way was very pleasant.

When they arrived at the inn, Xie Fei heard from Concubine Xiang that Lu Xiping, who was in a hurry to return home yesterday, had returned and brought an old lady in a wheelchair who was waiting for him in the backyard.

"Old lady?" Xie Fei was taken aback.

Concubine Xiang smiled: "It's Mr. Lu's grandmother."

Xie Fei originally thought that she would meet a sick old man, but she was a little surprised when she did.

The old lady in front of me is at least seventy or eighty years old, but she is dressed in a very fashionable way - her hair has been styled and dyed silvery white, her face is well-made, her earlobes are adorned with two delicate pearls, and she is wearing a well-crafted rose In the red double-breasted button-up coat, even if he was sitting in a wheelchair, he didn't look like a patient at all.

The other party smiled gracefully when he saw him: "This is Boss Xiao Xie, he is really a juicy child. Thank you for taking care of my family, Xiping."

Xie Fei hurriedly went up to greet her, and said with a smile, "Grandma Lu, hello."

"Hello." The old lady seemed to like him very much, and her eyes showed closeness, but when she looked at the bearded man, she was stunned, and asked after a while, "Have we met?"

Yu Li shook his head, and said softly, "Hello, old lady."

There was a momentary trance in the old lady's eyes, and she smiled after a while, "I just think your temperament is a little familiar, maybe it's because you are old and remember it wrong."

Xie Fei was about to coax the old lady, when he saw Lu Xiping winking at him, he immediately understood that the other party wanted to chat with him privately, and changed his words: "Grandma Lu, can you borrow your grandson for a while, I want to invite him Do me a favor."

The old lady smiled and nodded: "Go."

Xie Fei temporarily handed over the old lady to Yu Li, walked out of the backyard with Lu Xiping, found a corner and asked, "Is Mr. Lu okay?"

It was rare for Lu Xiping to be serious, "Grandma will be staying in an inn during this time, and I have to take care of her nearby, can I have an extra bed?"

"no problem."

"Can I move downstairs to you?"

"Isn't your room bigger?" Lu Xiping had moved to the garden earlier, and he even rented the most luxurious suite.

"Your yard should be cleaner." Lu Xiping smiled wryly: "I won't disturb you for too long, half a month at most, maybe just a few days. My room is temporarily given over to grandma's personal doctor."

Xie Fei was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Lu Xiping subconsciously took out the cigarette, put it back into his pocket after a pause, and said as calmly as possible: "Grandma's time is running out."

It turns out that Mrs. Lu is nearly ninety years old. She had a major operation two years ago, and her health is not very good. She fainted suddenly two days ago. The doctor diagnosed it as a recurrence of an old disease. If there is no miracle, it will probably only be a few days. .

"I hope grandma can spend her last days peacefully. My family..." Lu Xiping's expression darkened, and he said vaguely, "The family is quite chaotic. This time I also secretly picked her up."

Xie Fei sighed inwardly, "Then I'll go and tidy up the room first."

He didn't know how to comfort Lu Xiping, no matter what he said, it was too light, and when he went back to talk about this matter with Yu Li, he heard a piece of gossip by accident.

"Everyone in the circle knows that Lu Xiping has a background, but few people know that he is the only grandson of the gambling king."

"Gambling, gambling king?"

"Lu Shengnan." Yu Li walked to the sofa and sat down, looked up at him, "It's the old lady you just met, Lu Xiping and his mother both have the surname Lu."

Xie Fei had an expression of "shocking my whole family", and listened to Yu Li's story as if his soul had come out of his body.

Lu Shengnan was abandoned by his patriarchal father when he was very young, and he was a homeless child for several years. By chance, he was appreciated by a certain boss, and he made a fortune with his own ability.When she was 38 years old, the casinos under her name had spread all over the country. However, Lu Shengnan had suffered too much when he was young, and his children had always been difficult, so he decided to adopt three girls.Unexpectedly, two years later, Lu Shengnan became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter. Unfortunately, the daughter's health was not good since birth, and she passed away at a young age, leaving only eight-year-old Lu Xiping behind.

At that time, Lu Shengnan's husband died, and his daughter was gone. Apart from the huge family property, Lu Xiping was the only blood relative left, so he was naturally very pampered.In order to accumulate blessings for Lu Xiping, she tried her best to clean up the casino business, and worried that she was too old to take care of him for too long, so she deliberately prevented Lu Xiping from participating in the family business, only giving money but not power, in order to comfort the few forces who had already Cheng's adopted daughter.

Her good intentions and hard work paid off, at least the adopted daughter of the Lu family loved Lu Xiping very much, but the three of them fought fiercely for power and profit, and the conflict had already come to the fore.

"No wonder Mr. Lu would say that the family is in chaos." Xie Fei suddenly realized, and sighed, "I really didn't expect Mrs. Lu to be the king of gambling. I thought the king of gambling should be a man."

"She was indeed like a tomboy when she was young, with a very hard temper." Yu Li didn't know what to think of, and suddenly chuckled: "In the cold winter, someone cut off his thumb and threw him out of the casino, but he was only ten years old. But he didn't say a word."

Xie Fei recalled that Lu Shengnan seemed to be wearing a glove on his right hand. Was it a severed finger?

He felt a dull pain in his knuckles, and noticed that there was something in Yu Li's words, and asked curiously, "Brother, have you seen her when she was young?"

"I saw that she had a good temper, and it would be a pity to die, so I took her back to raise her for two days." Yu Li raised his chin triumphantly: "Speaking of which, Lu Xiping should call me grandpa."

???

Seeing that Xie Fei's expression was wrong, Yu Li realized that his words were ambiguous, and immediately became anxious: "I mean seniority!"

Xie Fei thought that we should call you ancestor according to seniority, but I didn't expect that Yu Li and the Lu family still have this kind of relationship. No wonder Yu Li treats Lu Xiping well, at least he is willing to help with Yu Jincheng's matter.

"Ah! Didn't Mrs. Lu have seen you before? You are so popular now, she should have recognized you long ago, right? Don't you think it's strange?" Xie Fei suddenly thought of this question.

"I can't recognize it, at most I feel that people are similar."

"But you are easy to look like that, she said that your temperament is familiar."

Yu Li was silent for a moment, "The me at that time was a little bit different from now."

"Could it be another face?" Xie Fei guessed.

"Why are you asking so many questions?" Yu Li suddenly became suspicious: "Have you completed today's fitness plan?"

Xie Fei: "..."

Is it only noon?It's too blunt to cover up!

Xie Fei tried hard, and finally escaped the torture temporarily, but was dragged away to practice hard at night.Fortunately, the next day, Yu Li followed the crew to other places to film the final finale scene. Before leaving, he didn't even think about installing the monitoring app, which gave Xie Fei a chance to be lazy.

Xie Fei devoted herself wholeheartedly to the Christmas renovation business. Not only were stars and pine cone lights and decorative garlands hung everywhere in the inn, but there were also many small landscapes with Christmas elements.

By December 12rd, the inn had taken on a new look. Xie Fei took a lot of photos and posted them on Weibo, and made some special arrangements, looking forward to the festival.

He was confident that as long as Christmas passed, the reputation of the inn would be improved to a higher level.

Just when Xie Fei was rolling up his sleeves and preparing to fight, a group of hooligans were having a meeting in an old house in Shaoyang Town.

The only person sitting at the scene was a man in his forties. Unlike the gangsters, he looked like a cultured man in terms of appearance and temperament, but his words were not very elegant: "Damn! A bunch of trash! It's been so long! What's the use of supporting you if you can't take down an inn?"

He coldly glanced at the trembling bald man in front of him, and reprimanded him with a calm face: "Especially you, I asked you to threaten and threaten, but you were beaten to the bum; Arson to scare people, you are good, if you step on it, you can be sent to the police station by the innkeeper, and you will be charged with such a shameful crime of being an exhibitionist, why are you so capable, you are simply talented!"

The bald man who had just been fished out of the police station was also full of grievances, and he tried to defend in fear: "Third, third master, that inn is too evil, one woman can beat several men, and a teenage baby can't beat it." It was terrifyingly cruel. And I did throw a snake into their yard, who would have known that a bird would pick it up and throw it at me, and I would be bitten..."

As for the last accusation, the bald man was so ashamed and indignant that he could only stammer, "I may have been infected by a very rare snake venom..."

The third master became angry when he saw his cowardly appearance, grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it on the bald man, "Are you still reasonable?!"

The bald man shook his head violently and didn't dare to say anything. The third master was heartbroken and waved his hands wearily: "I heard the news that the high-speed rail line will be announced soon, and it will be before the Spring Festival at the latest. Once the announcement is made, the houses in Xining Village will be closed. Trading is prohibited, you must get this matter done as soon as possible."

But the bald man was really scared, "But..."

"But what but, I think your ass hurts!" The third master interrupted him directly, startled suddenly, and narrowed his eyes dangerously, "If the conspiracy doesn't work, then we will come to Yangmou."

The author has something to say:

Bald man: Obviously I have a lot of roles, but I don't deserve a name.
