It turned out that Yuanyuan was settling accounts in the house that day.
This year is the easiest year for her in recent times, because this year she has money, a house, and... heating.
Since she had to run back and forth between the two places, Yuan Yuanyuan simply told the pub that she would not come there often on Saturdays and Sundays. Although she made less money, the welfare of the pub was not bad, and Yuan Yuanyuan was used to the poor life, so she could survive anyway.
Recently, pedestrians on the streets have been wearing thicker and thicker clothes. There has been very little snow this winter. Yuan Yuanyuan originally thought that this would be a relatively warm year, but in the last few days toward the end of the year, there have been several heavy snowfalls.
Sitting in the house, Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the snowflakes outside the window and was inexplicably dazed for a while.
She thought back to the time when she had no money a few years ago... That's what it means to keep warm with love.
When Yuan Yuanyuan was distracted, Tang Shi, who was sitting opposite her, stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her face, saying, "Shopkeeper, you are distracted again."
"Don't interrupt me. I, the shop owner, have a hard life, okay?" Yuan Yuanyuan put down the account book in her hand.
"Didn't my dad bring you a bag of things some time ago? It was so heavy that my shoulders were sore from carrying it. And you still say you have no money?" Tang Shi said.
Yuan Yuanyuan remembered what was in the package... She went home and secretly opened the package, looking very excited, just like opening a box, but what she took out was a pile of stones...
A pile of dark brown translucent stones.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at these broken stones in silence for a long time, and finally picked up one with trembling hands and shook it silently in her hands...
This thing looked particularly familiar, because she had a bunch of them. This thing was traditionally called a demon bead, which was what Yuan Yuanyuan handed over to the regional boss every quarter, except that Yuan Yuanyuan's was red, and each one was n times smaller than this one...
To be frank, Yuan Yuanyuan has enough of this stuff to last her for more than ten years. The demon bead is a byproduct of practicing the Blood Jade Demon Art.
Because Yuan Yuanyuan wanted human blood instead of demonic energy, she would first condense her own blood into a demon bead, and then use the remaining blood to practice. The blood processed in this way would be more like human blood.
In the end, who knew she would receive such a package...
Damn it, Yuan Yuanyuan doesn't know how to use this thing at all! Even if you go to the hospital and buy a few bags of plasma, it will be more reliable for Yuan Yuanyuan than this!
Yuan Yuanyuan felt like a dumb person eating bitter herbs when she thought about this matter now. She looked at Tang Shi and didn't plan to tell her what her father had brought. After all, her father seemed to be hiding it from her daughter.
She looked at Tang Shi's notebook, which had a few lines of chat on it, about the experience of those tricks. Yuan Yuanyuan looked at it for a few seconds and felt a headache for no reason. She really saw these days that Tang Shi really didn't like learning this stuff.
Thinking back, her favorite part in the book of Blood Jade Demon Art was Tian Gang Di Sha. Although it was a living hell when she was learning it, she still found it quite interesting. She often felt excited when learning it.
Although Yuan Yuanyuan found the scenes of creating a sea of fire and water dragons with a wave of the hand very exciting when she read those novels and comics, when she really learned them, she still had to memorize those messy magic techniques by herself.
How should I put it... It feels just like memorizing those ancient poems back then, and even if you memorize them, you may not necessarily learn them.
Yuan Yuanyuan stood up, waved her hand, and said to Tang Shi: "Come out to the yard, I will teach you."
Tang Shi threw away her notebook and excitedly went to the yard with Yuan Yuanyuan. She was already impatient to memorize those things. Ever since she knew that the shop owner was a big monster, she had always wanted to see the shop owner show off his skills.
Yuan Yuanyuan walked into the yard, looked at the bare tree in the yard, and breathed a sigh of relief silently in her heart.
She slowly recited the first of the Twelve Little Demon Techniques in her mind, and saw her figure slowly begin to become illusory.
Tang Shi sat on the small corridor in front of the door, watching the boss' figure under the tree slowly disappear into nothingness. She was a little crooked at first, but gradually sat up straight, staring straight ahead.
The owner is usually nonchalant, but every time he uses magic, he looks inexplicably handsome.
At this time, the shop owner standing under the tree had his eyes closed, and his mouth opened and closed gently a few times.
Those two thin lips were lightly blood-red, and when he whispered those little magic tricks, one could not help but lean over to listen.
Tang Shi vaguely recognized that it was probably the first one of Little Demon Technique.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in the yard, blowing the snowflakes outside in the same direction.
…
Guess what will be drawn in the next issue. Where is Fanning going
The agencies he goes to now are probably small agencies at the lower level... He can't even get into the higher-level agencies.
Of course, but when I look at this Fanning, I feel a little inexplicably suffocated. Why can't he draw a picture with us monsters as the protagonists
In the school forum, this time is when students are going home from school, and everyone is chatting online. After all, the newest issue of "Yao Ji" will be updated in the evening. For these monster readers, the update of "Yao Ji" is far more important than studying. After all, most of them don't even care about studying.
For the readers of the website, waiting for the update of "Yao Ji" while chatting has actually become something like a ritual.
That little brother in white clothes, I recently heard that he lives quite close to my house.
Where? Where
Inside Qiuying, I heard that someone saw him there... He has always been there, but no one knows what he really looks like.
Qiuying? Shit, is it actually there? I remember my mom said the water there is very deep.
It is indeed deep... But I have never understood why I say deep, but I think the water in places full of wine and sex is always deep. I heard that several scenes in the comics were selected from Qiuying, the scene where Yuan appeared.
Hey, speaking of Yuan, I heard some time ago that he was on the bounty list of the agency.
Really? Take a look at the picture!
A blurry photo appeared on the website. You could vaguely see a blurry picture there, but the words written on it were very conspicuous: Gui Yao, Yuan - A reward of three million.
The students on the website were silent for a while, and suddenly became excited.
Wait! Didn't we mention this name? When did it get to the Taoist priests
That photo seems to have been taken from that video!
Oh my god... What happened? How did it get out
By the way, has anyone found out what this Yuan is? I have been looking for it for a long time but I can't find it. I asked my mother, but she doesn't know either.
I didn't find out... But I find this very confusing. Didn't they clearly say that he was a traitor? Why is the Taoist priest still offering a bounty for him? This is a bit illogical.
Maybe... this Yuan betrayed the monster before, but now he won't stand on our side again, right
Don't be ridiculous. Look at the attitude in the previous issues. How can you say that they are on our side
That is... not taking sides? Isn't he afraid of both sides joining forces to attack him
Oh my god, this weird monster is trying to go to heaven.
In fact, when I think about the fact that there is such a monster around me, my scalp tingles. The spies of that era... let alone their abilities, even their previous experiences may not be what we can imagine. They may be even more exciting than novels. So sometimes when I think about the fact that such a monster actually exists... I feel uneasy.
I don't know... Perhaps you could consider the daily life of the Zoldyck family. Although they are not spies, I think the degree of perversion should be similar. Otherwise, you could consider looking up what human spies of that era were like.
For a while, there were many different opinions on the forum, and everyone was spreading various stories.
In a small courtyard, a person stood quietly in the middle of the courtyard. The sky gradually darkened and the stars lit up.
"Look, this is the twelfth one."
The man in black in the yard said in a low voice.
He suddenly moved, his figure as fast as a shadow. Tang Shi, who was sitting on the side, felt her eyes sore from staring. She looked straight ahead, not daring to blink at all.
Because she knew that if she blinked even a little, the scene in front of her would probably pass by.
Not a single snowflake in the yard was blown up. Just like the previous times, Tang Shi kept staring, trying to find where the person in the yard would appear next.
Is it under that tree
Or standing in the middle of the yard like last time
Her eyes were almost sore from staring, but she still couldn't find it. At this moment, she suddenly felt a slight chill on her neck.
She lowered her head. A small knife with a silver glow was placed on her neck, with the back of the knife facing her. As she leaned forward, it grazed a little of her skin. Under the dark night sky outside, the blade was still ice-cold.
Only then did Tang Shi realize that there should be someone standing behind her, because the candlelight in the room had just illuminated her entire back, but now, part of it was blocked by a shadow.
When did you come
Tang Shi turned her head and heard the shop owner's voice behind her suddenly change from the low voice just now to a salty fish tone, "Oh my god, oh my god, you better be careful, you dared to look back with a knife on your neck, I almost cut you, the back of the knife is quite sharp."
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at Tang Shi who turned her head and thought that this was really the most naive and innocent child she had ever seen. Of course, this could not be said to be wrong to some extent. When her father came that day, Yuan Yuanyuan took a look and found that she looked very similar to Tang Shi.
This is probably a racial issue... Some monsters are indeed naive and innocent.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at Tang Shi and once again wondered what kind of monster she was.
It felt even dumber than the hamster her former college roommate had that always choked on its food.
"Amazing!" Tang Shi ran over, her eyes full of little stars...
She looked at the knife in Yuan Yuanyuan's hand back and forth, "Is this your weapon, shopkeeper? How did you appear behind me just now? Is the Little Demon Technique really that powerful? When I practiced it, I couldn't even walk ten meters, and I stumbled all the time. The way you use it is just like in the comics..."
Yuan Yuanyuan watched Tang Shi happily jumping around her. Is this what kids are basically like? Sometimes they don’t like to learn something because they think it’s not cool enough. But when they think it’s cool enough, they will naturally jump on it.
Tang Shi looked at the shop owner standing in the night. His black clothes seemed to blend perfectly into the night. If it weren't for his glowing white face, she would have had a hard time finding him.
Yuan Yuanyuan glanced at the time and saw that it was almost twelve o'clock, so she called Tang Shi to come in, "Don't stay outside, it's too cold, come in."
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, how can I be like you?"
"Study hard and memorize the twelve little demon skills first."
"Shopkeeper, how long did it take you to learn this? It seems like you are so relaxed."
"I'll learn this?" Yuan Yuanyuan calculated the time. "A month...right?"
Tang Shi circled Yuan Yuanyuan for a long time, and finally stopped when she was tired. She sat on the table and browsed her phone to keep warm. Yuan Yuanyuan was also waiting for time, preparing to finish reading comics and go upstairs to sleep.
The two of them sat quietly for a while, and Tang Shi suddenly reached out and pulled Yuan Yuanyuan's sleeve, "Shopkeeper, look at these people, their imaginations have gone through the sky."
Yuan Yuanyuan leaned over to take a look. It was a student forum with a post titled "Predict tonight's "Yao Ji"!" But the topic got more and more off track in the end.
So the spies back then definitely participated in very brutal training... Isn't that what the comics and novels all say? The spy camp in the Blood Jade Demon Army, I don't believe it's a good place.
In fact, spies should be considered consumables. Wars back then were basically meat grinders. The Blood Jade Demon Army was really just a consumable with a fancy name. There are no monsters now that have undergone the kind of exploitative training that was done back then.
Have you seen his tricky dance moves? I think they are more standard than the ones I am learning from the video now. If people couldn't learn it back then, they would have died. They must have tried their best to learn it.
It's possible that they are starving and cold. Spies can't confide in others... It's actually very easy to become a psychopath.
"No way." Tang Shi said, "I think you, the shop owner, have it easy. Although you are not as good as Yuan, you are also very good. It is not as scary as they say. You only studied for a month and learned it. Right, shop owner."
After she finished speaking, she wanted to wait for the owner to respond, but she found that the heartless owner had been silent and just sat quietly opposite her.
His profile looked glowing white in the candlelight, and his high nose bridge and small jaw could be seen, but the upper half of his face was blocked by his bangs, which cast a thick shadow under his forehead and blocked his eyes.
Tang Shi sat opposite him, but suddenly did not dare to speak to disturb him. The candle burned slowly between the two of them, and a drop of candle wax suddenly flowed down the candle.
"Ah? It's almost twelve o'clock, let's wait for "Monster Records."" After a while, the owner suddenly came back to his senses, he raised his head and said as if he had just woken up from a dream.
