After Gu Weiwei finished speaking, she was suddenly shocked because Shen Lian grabbed her hand. Shen Lian's hands didn't look like human hands. They were cold and delicate, like jade.
She originally wanted to scold Shen Lian, but Shen Lian looked straight at her. Gu Weiwei looked at these eyes and sighed in her heart. There was probably no daughter in the world whose heart would not melt under such eyes.
Shen Lian said: "Sister, you are right, I forgot these things just because I refused to teach others a skill."
Gu Weiwei was so confused that she couldn't think about Shen Lian. She unconsciously made a sound in her mouth and said softly: "Shen Lian, you are hurting me."
Shen Lian looked puzzled and said, "I didn't use any force."
Gu Weiwei was a little embarrassed and said in a louder voice: "How can you be like you and grab a girl's hand casually?"
When Shen Lian saw her getting angry, he withdrew his hand, shook his head and said, "Senior sister, you have forgotten that we are cultivators and do not adhere to vulgar etiquette."
Gu Weiwei couldn't help but said angrily: "I dare you to practice and be able to act like a hooligan?"
Shen Lian said sternly: "The most important thing in our practice is to cultivate the mind. I want to grab senior sister's hand, and senior sister doesn't object in her heart. How can I deliberately pretend to be raw? What does this have to do with being a gangster? Other women, I I won’t hold her hand either.”
Gu Weiwei didn't know that Shen Lian could come up with such nonsense, but he seemed to be right, and he really didn't object to her grabbing his hand. But they had only known each other for a while, so why did it seem like they had been together for many years.
While she was thinking wildly, Shen Lian had already let go of her hand. Gu Weiwei noticed that she felt relaxed and a little sad.
After the next three days, Shen Lian settled in the restaurant. But he didn't return to the restaurant even though he was drunk. There was really no business. Although Gu Weiwei was worried, Shen Lian turned the wine glass into gold and saved some money. Can last for half a year.
But since that day, Gu Weiwei told Shen Lian not to turn stone into gold again. Firstly, the man was innocent of the crime of harboring the jade. Secondly, after Shen turned stones into gold that day, he seemed to be in poor spirits. He slept all night again without breathing at all. If Shen Lian hadn't woken up again later, Gu Weiwei was really afraid that Shen Lian would have died.
Later Shen Liancai told her that a long time ago he didn't need to breathe, let alone the cold or heat.
Gu Weiwei understood from this that Shen Lian might really be a very capable person, and now he was in trouble and couldn't even return to the building even though he was drunk. She was still a little worried in her heart, maybe Shen Lian would leave one day when he regained his memory, because the small Baijia Town did not belong to Shen Lian.
Her parents were absent, she had no brothers and sisters, and she had the reputation of being a starlet. She didn't even have any friends. If the day came when Shen Lian left, Gu Weiwei didn't know what she would do.
Although Shen Lian was quite strange, he never looked at her in a strange way like other people in the town.
Fortunately, Shen Lian has not left yet. He has three meals with her every day. Although the life is simple, it makes her very fulfilling. The only bad thing was that Shen Lian refused to help her. Of course, there was no business in the restaurant, but nothing happened.
Gu Weiwei let go of her worries when a voice came from outside, "Taoist Priest, I see you have nothing to do with your time, why don't you give me a fortune telling."
The person who spoke was a gangster in the town named Bai Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu is both his first name and his nickname, which means that this kid is as slippery as a little fish.
"What?" Shen Lian said.
Bai Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Do you think how much money I can make today?"
Shen Lian looked at him with contempt, picked up a branch, pushed aside the fallen leaves, and wrote a sentence in the dust, "A pocket is cleaner than a face."
After all, Bai Xiaoyu had read a few books and recognized Shen Lian's handwriting. Bai Xiaoyu was not annoyed. He had been bragging to the Taoist Priest for the past two days. He thought this person was very interesting, so he couldn't bear it today. He asked Shen Lian to tell his fortune, not that he believed that Shen Lian could tell fortunes, but as a Taoist priest, it was fun to tell people's fortunes and deceive them. He was a playful person, so he deliberately teased Shen Lian.
Unexpectedly, Shen Lian didn't argue with him, so he just wrote this sentence, which meant that he couldn't make a penny today and had to spit out the money in his pocket.
Or if it were someone else, Bai Xiaoyu would have to curse loudly, but Shen Lian was different. Because he is a little bastard, most people in the town look down on him. There are very few people who can chat with him patiently like Shen Lian.
Moreover, although Shen Lian was a little downcast, he had a unique demeanor. He had met the boss of the town's gambling house, Bai, who was also a powerful person, but his temperament was still much worse than that of Shen Lian.
Such a person is willing to listen to him patiently and feels very satisfied.
Seeing that the sun was rising, Bai Xiaoyu smiled and said: "I still have thirty coins with me. I'm going to find something to do now. I'll treat you to a drink when I come back in the evening."
He still remembered the predictions Shen Lian gave him and planned to come back in the evening to tease Shen Lian.
Shen Lian smiled and said, "I told you, you don't have money to treat me today."
Bai Xiaoyu chuckled and said, "Taoist Master, wait for me, I'll treat you to a nice dinner tonight." He wasn't afraid that Shen Lian was deliberately provoking him, just for fun.
After saying that, Bai Xiaoyu left in the dust.
Gu Weiwei then came out and said slightly reproachfully: "Tell me, why are you hanging out with this little bastard? What if he really can't make a penny today and comes back to vent his anger on you."
Shen Lian said indifferently: "No."
Gu Weiwei said: "You will understand when you suffer the loss." Looking at Shen Lian's expression, she was really angry. After he finished speaking, he added: "You said you have nothing to do all day long, so why don't you think of a way to start the restaurant business."
She was dissatisfied with Shen Lian's leisurely day, so she said it casually.
Shen Lian said: "Everyone in the town regards you as Senior Sister, and you are the Sangmen Star. Even if we make delicious food, no one will come."
Gu Weiwei couldn't help but feel discouraged, and then said angrily: "You know everything? Did that Bai Xiaoyu tell you?"
Shen Lian pointed to his ear and said leisurely: "When my ears move, I can hear the secret whispers in the boudoir thousands of miles away. I already know everything about Baijia Town."
Gu Weiwei said: "It's up to you."
Shen Lian smiled faintly and said: "Senior sister, don't be angry. It doesn't matter that this restaurant doesn't do business, but it is something that is difficult to let go of in your heart. If you don't let it go, it will be difficult to practice in the future. So I thought of another way to ensure that Let’s make our restaurant business better.”
Gu Weiwei said: "What can I do?"
Shen Lian said: "Mortal people are ignorant. Doing their business is laborious and tainted with smoke and fire, so we don't run an ordinary restaurant."
Gu Weiwei said: "What to do?"
Shen Lian said: "How about our business of dealing with gods, ghosts and demons? They just cut off the fireworks in the world, not without food. Moreover, this business will pay a lot of money."
