After three rounds of drinks, the skewers were almost finished, and there were only two bottles of beer left in the box.
Qin Hao blushed and bragged that he would be a criminal police officer in the future, solve big cases, and appear on TV.
"Okay, okay, you are the best."
Xu Qing was also a little dizzy, but he could still hold his liquor. He had inherited his father's legacy, so he wouldn't get drunk. "Can you go back? Don't delay the mediation of the old lady's quarrel tomorrow. "
"Mediation my ass … Boss, bill!"
"Let me do it, let me do it."
The two did not refuse. Xu Qing simply scanned the QR code and accompanied Qin Hao to the roadside to hail a taxi and let him go first. Then he turned back to the food stall and looked at the food on the shelf. After thinking for a while, he asked the boss to pack some skewers and fish tofu.
The night breeze was gentle, and the light smoke from the barbecue wafted far away. Xu Qing stood in front of the noisy food stall, and inexplicably wanted to smoke a cigarette. He touched his body and remembered that he had quit smoking.
It was troublesome … but it was quite interesting.
He wondered if the moon in the Tang Dynasty was also so round …
He looked up at the night sky. The vast and deep starry sky was like a long scroll of history. Many people and events of the past had been buried in time and turned into dust. But now, a speck of dust had jumped out of it.
He touched it.
…
It was already 9.30 pm when he returned home. Jiang He was still sitting on the sofa watching a video on the computer. White Gourd was lying on her lap, and its fur was stroked. It made a purring sound, and it seemed to be enjoying it very much.
Xu Qing looked at the man and the cat on the sofa, and a subtle feeling rose in his heart. He lifted the bag in his hand and said, "I ate too early. I was afraid you would be hungry, so I brought some back."
"Thank you."
"Hmm?"
"… Young hero."
"It's nothing."
Xu Qing waved his hand, put the barbecue on the table, opened the bag, and went back to the fridge to take out two boxes of yogurt, and handed one to Jiang He.
Jiang He smelled the alcohol on him and sniffed, "You drank a lot?"
"Not much, just a few bottles." Xu Qing opened the yogurt lid and demonstrated, "This is called yogurt. You have to lick it before drinking."
The best part of yogurt was the little bit on the lid. Licking the yogurt lid was a must.
Jiang He followed suit. He stuck out his tongue and licked the yogurt lid. His eyes immediately lit up.
"Delicious, right?"
"Delicious."
"Hehe … Hurry up and eat. We've been carrying it all the way here, don't let it get cold."
Xu Qing smiled. He glanced at the video on the computer and paused it for her. Then he staggered to the bedroom to get his pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
The feeling of coming back home with the lights on and people sitting in the house was not bad. It was a little livelier.
"The living conditions now are very good. We can bathe every day. It's quite enjoyable. You don't have to save money."
Ten minutes later, Xu Qing came out of the room, drying his hair with a towel. While looking for a hairdryer, he asked, "And the clothes … are you done?"
Jiang He blinked and looked at him for a moment before she understood what he was talking about. She lowered her head and did not say anything.
Xu Qing did not say anything more. He looked at the time and saw that it was already ten o 'clock at night. After drying his hair, he taught her how to use the hairdryer. He turned off the computer and went back to the bedroom to rest.
She lay on the bed dizzily and soon fell asleep.
…
In the living room.
Jiang He held the hairdryer and studied it for a while. Hearing that there was no sound in Xu Qing's bedroom, she got up and went back to the bedroom to find her clothes. Although the style of the pajamas that Xu Qing bought for her was very conservative, she still could not accept it. She took her usual clothes and was about to take a shower. Her eyes glanced at the small clothes in the corner and paused.
She raised her hand and touched her back. She frowned and went straight to the bathroom.
The sound of running water sounded lonely in the quiet night.
Regarding the future, Jiang He could only take one step at a time. She hid the hesitation in her heart and worked hard to learn and improve her understanding of this world.
Fortunately, she met a kind young hero and could slowly get used to everything here.
It was a peaceful night.
The next day was the weekend. Normal people slept in, but Xu Qing did the opposite. He got up early in the morning. Before the sun shone on his face through the window, he had already climbed out of bed and went to the living room to watch last night's news replay.
After a while, the door of Jiang He's room opened. She walked out with a fine sweat on her forehead. She glanced at Xu Qing who was sitting on the sofa with a pen and a small notebook in his hand. After thinking for a while, she went to the sink to wash up.
Reading the news relied on filtering information and remembering the useful points. Xu Qing had long been familiar with this — it had almost become an instinct to extract the key points from a pile of information.
Just like the straw sandals on Jiang He's feet when they first met. If it were not for the fact that the shoes were so out of place that he subconsciously noticed them, things might have developed in a different direction.
Thinking of the shoes, the pen in his hand paused and he looked at the pair of worn-out shoes in the trash can.
"Are you working again?" Jiang He walked over after washing up. She still could not understand how the economy of this world existed.
She could make money by sitting at home and looking at others with a clairvoyance?
She frowned and thought for a while. She suddenly became suspicious, "Are you a government official?"
The government official used clairvoyance to look at others and maintain law and order. She associated it with what Xu Qing was doing.
"I'm not. If I were … it would be much easier to handle your identity."
Xu Qing almost said to hand her over to the state, but on second thought, even if he was a government official, he would not hand her over.
Ancient heroine, how fun it was …
"Are you hungry? It's rare to get up early today. I'll go buy breakfast. "
Seeing that Jiang He had nothing to do, Xu Qing gave up his position and handed the computer to Jiang He to continue learning. Now he had learned to change videos to watch, and he was making good progress.
"Okay."
"Do you want to go with me?"
"…" Jiang He hesitated and shook her head. "It's around here, no need."
"Okay, then I'll go by myself. You stay here."
Xu Qing said, took his mobile phone and went out to buy breakfast at eight o 'clock in the morning.
…
The breeze was warm, and the sky was blue with white clouds.
Early in the morning, a few neighbors stood at the entrance of the community. After breakfast, they gathered and whispered to each other. The security guard, Zhao Shu, listened quietly and did not interrupt.
"Xiao Xu, Xiao Xu!"
Seeing Xu Qing coming from afar, Cheng Yulan secretly whispered to him.
"What's wrong, Aunty? Uncle Chen? What national affairs are you discussing? "Xu Qing was curious, and moved closer to the old man and old woman.
"Did you hear anything when you sleep recently?" Cheng Yulan asked in a low voice. At the same time, the others also looked over.
"Anything?"
Xu Qing scratched his head. "No, I slept well. What's wrong? Is there a thief? "
"It's good that there is a thief!" She slapped her thigh and turned to look at Chen Aiguo.
"Uncle Chen, what's wrong?" Xu Qing was puzzled.
"Our neighborhood might be … haunted."
Chen Aiguo frowned and shook the dog's leash. "Hei Zi saw it, it barks every night …" He paused and looked around the neighborhood. "A few nights ago, something scared it and it hid under the bed with its tail between its legs. I couldn't get it to come out no matter how I tried. I thought it was weird."
"That Old Wang also said that he was woken up by the dog and saw a shadow through the window," Cheng Yulan added and gestured with her hands. "Just like that, it disappeared in a flash."
"Huh?"
Xu Qing was confused. He looked at them and pretended to be calm. He turned to Zhao Shu. "Zhao Shu, did you see it too?"
Uncle Zhao's hand trembled as he held the cigarette between his fingers. He brought it to his lips and took a deep puff. Then, he slowly exhaled the smoke and gazed into the sky with a conflicted expression, "I didn't see it, but … I took a photo of it."
He had always been a staunch atheist, but now he was afraid.
"…"
"…"
Damn!
