Chapter 97

"You said mint leaves... can you light it?" Yuan Yuanyuan asked the Liu An opposite.

She suddenly remembered such a thing at noon today, but she has never seen such things as mint leaves in the north all the year round.

Now it's just her and Liu An in the room. She just suddenly remembered this in her mind and asked him about it.

Holding a stack of clothes in his hand, Liu An looked at Yuan Yuanyuan and said, "Okay, you should be able to order the mint after it's dried."

"Can you smoke then?" Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly became excited, sat up and asked Liu An.

"Pump?" Liu An's expression suddenly became subtle.

"That thing is lit... it will emit black smoke." He finally said in a complicated tone.

"Oh..." Yuan Yuanyuan sat down a little disappointed, thinking that it seems that she can't smoke anymore.

In Yuanyuan's life, mint usually appears along with hard candy, chewing gum and wet tissues... don't know why this thing gives her a very dangling look.

So just now, she subconsciously wondered if the mint thing could emit a mint smell when lit...

Liu An looked at the boss over there who sat down again and wondered what the hell did he think of mint... Isn't that thing just a plant?

As he walked, he wanted to hit Hache a little bit, but he hurriedly held it back.

Part-time work, although this was the first time in his life, he performed better than some of those who had been working for a few years.

Working two jobs at the same time, although the boss is good at talking, it also opened a back door. If you show a little tired feeling, it is very likely to be abandoned.

When he was in Taoist Temple, if he accidentally hit Hache, the leading senior would immediately stop his movements and let him go out immediately.

Although Liu An is no longer a Taoist priest of that Taoist temple, some habits are still engraved in his bones.

When he just held back that Hache, he suddenly remembered something from the past inexplicably, lowered his head again, and looked at his military coat and big cotton shoes.

...After a while, he shook his head and continued to pack his clothes.

Although the money given here is small, there is one advantage-

This is a rare "haunted house" in the vicinity. There are not many monsters coming over. For the current him, he really can't find a more suitable residence for him.

He sorted the clothes one by one. Although the boss didn't take care of these clothes very much, he still insisted on tidying them up from time to time. In fact, he had already cleaned up these clothes these days, and he could see that the boss was indeed not as human as he seemed on the surface. Harmless, because many of the materials on these clothes are amazing.

It was like a heavy black long shirt. At first, he didn't seem to see anything wrong, until one day he accidentally touched the button on it, and was frozen by the cold temperature on it.

It took him a long time to tell the difference, only to realize that the button that looked bright and round was actually the bone of some monster...

Those buttons were shiny white with a hint of yellow, and they felt cold and biting to the touch. He only touched it and felt that half of his palm was numb.

Although this thing looks very lethal, Liu An can imagine how important this thing is to some ice-related monsters without looking at it.

However, such a cool thing is now placed in a small clothing store that no one has come to patronize.

After that, Liu An observed other clothes from time to time, and some clothes that looked very ordinary had some very scary things on them. The more he watched, the more Liu An could not see the strength of the boss, so he no longer simply thought that the boss was just a clothes seller like the first time they met.

Scavenger is actually a very magical job, in this position, you can see a lot of things that you can't see during the day.

However, the people who do this work are all very poor monsters. There are all kinds of monsters in the three religions. On the first day Liu An arrived here, he found that all the monsters except him were fierce and vicious. There were four or five scars on his face.

Although he was wearing a military coat, Liu An, who had a white face, looked like a little white face when he stood inside.

They came here for various reasons, and they were all monsters living in the back of the city.

When Liu An came out of the alley with a body bag on her back on the first day, she happened to see a little monster child being led towards him by her father. As soon as he glanced there, the child next to him suddenly cried, out of breath.

Her father also saw Liu An, he squatted down, picked up his child, and covered his child's eyes instantly.

Liu An stood at the intersection, and suddenly he didn't dare to go out.

After the father and daughter had walked a long way, he slowly pulled the bag out, carried it onto his military coat, and walked forward step by step, with his waist slightly bent.

He walked one street, another street, and kept walking along the path. In fact, when he was walking on the street, he had something on his body that the scavenger distributed on his body to cover up his body. Humans couldn't see him and his back. something that only monsters can see him.

However, he still walked along the path, avoiding humans and monsters as much as possible, and finally carried the body bag back to its place.

He was the last to come back that day, and he came back late, so when he resisted the body bag, the recorded monster looked up, and his eyes were as cold as if he could rip him alive.

Liu An looked at the monster's eyes, and slowly clenched his hand in his pocket, because he was a little afraid that the monster would really do this.

However, it seemed that he was lucky today, the monster just looked at him coldly for a long time, and then slowly made a big cross on his name.

Liu An looked at the fork and took a deep breath.

So the next day... he learned to walk down the road with a body bag on his back and ignore the gazes around him.

The monsters around saw him like hiding from the plague. He lowered his head and quickly passed through these monsters.

The main road is the best and easiest place to walk, there are no twists and turns, and the road is flat.

Liu An worked for three days, and felt that now he was no longer afraid of anyone's eyes, and his whole person could rise to the point of soaring...

There were times when he was wearing a military coat and carrying a body bag, and was avoided by those people, and suddenly recalled that when he was wearing a neat white Taoist robe and stood on the cliff to watch the sunset, there was always something in his heart. Kind of weird feeling.

Yuan Yuanyuan wanted to go up and take a look when she saw something related to cigarettes in the past few days. She was like a demon. Sister Lizi looked at her and asked her what happened recently.

Yuan Yuanyuan didn't say a word. She tried many things, such as kerosene lamps that could emit smoke, such as incense burners, cigarettes, and even humidifiers... but none of them satisfied her.

Cigarettes are actually the most ideal object, but unfortunately Yuan Yuanyuan insists on not smoking. So she wanted to try if she could replace the shredded tobacco with another thing to simulate the effect of cigarettes, which is why she asked Liu An if she could order Mint at noon today.

The effect of this thing is really the best, even if it is not from the perspective of whether it is easy to carry, just from the camouflage... Especially if you see a person fighting with a humidifier or an incense burner, everyone will pay attention. on those two things.

That is, cigarettes, which are small in size and very easy to disguise. No one will pay attention to them when they are taken out, so there is no possibility that people will find out that they are deliberately making cigarettes.

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the incense burner in the tavern. She had been adding incense to the incense burner for some time before. There were various kinds of incense, but Yuan Yuanyuan never asked about their specific type.

In fact, the incense used in the tavern is all top-level incense, and each name is different. Unfortunately, Yuan Yuanyuan can't understand these profound things, so despite working for so long, he still can't distinguish their names. .

Yuan Yuanyuan has been obsessed with incense recently... No, it's cigarettes that are more fascinated. She squatted in front of the incense burner and asked Sister Lizi behind her, "Sister, what is the name of this incense we burned recently?"

Sister Lizi turned her head and glanced at it, and said to Yuan Yuanyuan, "This is a blue cigarette incense. I only got it in winter. It's good for the body after smoking it."

"...Benefits?" Yuan Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows.

"Yeah, didn't you notice that you've been staying in the store recently, and the demon power has increased a lot?" Sister Lizi said, "It's because of this incense, this incense is hard to find, and some places are not allowed to use it, our store It is because it has a relatively large reputation, so I dare to use it.”

"Oh, so..." Yuan Yuanyuan lowered her head and continued to look at the stove.

"No, you've been making incense for so long... Haven't you figured out the type of incense?" Sister Lizi came over with a shocked expression.

"No, I will order whichever you want me to order, and I will leave every time I grab it." Yuan Yuanyuan said.

"...Then you're also a god. Many monsters can't get the incense work. When you first came, I asked you to light incense for Sister Xue's sake."

"Isn't it just a little incense... I'd rather hide in the back kitchen and wash the cups." Yuan Yuanyuan said.

"Fool, come here." Sister Lizi looked at Yuan Yuanyuan with a look of disgust, and hooked her index finger at her.

Yuan Yuanyuan leaned over, and Sister Lizi grabbed her ear and whispered to her ear, "Blue smoke incense is actually the demon bead powder."

The wind tickled her ears, but Yuan Yuanyuan didn't care. She widened her eyes, turned to look at Sister Lizi, and said in her mouth, "Fuck, there's no..."

"Don't talk, squint." Sister Lizi pinched Yuan Yuanyuan.

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the smoke in the stove over there. To be honest, she really didn't expect this thing to have such a big background. Although she wouldn't use the demon bead, a demon bead the size of a soybean can make a little monster. Under the protection of the big monster, he lived for a month.

Their pub has to light almost a box of incense a day... oh my god.

A box of incense, a box of incense, a box of incense...

Yuan Yuanyuan was hit hard by the local tyrants. She was in a daze all day. When she returned home, she even lost interest in dinner...

Of course, she can also eat instant noodles at home.

Yuan Yuanyuan was lying on the bed and turned over, thinking that she should not go back there to take a look. In fact, Liu An kept her meals every day, and kept them outside. The weather would not be bad. She had a stove and The pot can be warmed up a little.

Liu An can be called an all-around little assistant. During the day, he goes to the vegetable market by himself to buy the freshest vegetables. People's salary is not too embarrassing.

She silently recited the magic formula in her heart, and suddenly disappeared into the air, leaving only a faint red smoke...

And in another place, a middle-aged man and an old man looked at each other.

"I'm really sorry to call you here today," the older man said softly.

He looks very peaceful, and he has a sense of peace that only old people have.

Opposite him is a middle-aged man who looks very dignified.

"If you are for the recent wanted order, I don't think you need to pay too much attention. We have made adequate preparations, and we will target the Taoist priests who appear recently." The middle-aged man said with a smile, His laughter sounded very hearty.

"But these things also need to trouble you to take action, I still feel very embarrassed, but this is really not a suitable place for our Li family to take action." The old man said.

"It's alright, I also have a good impression of Yuan." The middle-aged man said with a smile, his expression was inexplicably fascinated, "A very powerful monster, and now this monster can appear again, really It's not easy, maybe it's a good thing for our demon world."

The two chatted happily, and the cups were staggered. After about an hour, the middle-aged man got up and left the place.

On the table was the leftovers, and the old man, who had always been very soft-spoken, looked at the leftover wine on the table, raised his glass gently, and poured himself another glass.

This time, he drank very slowly, as if he was savoring the taste of wine.

Go down a glass of wine, ups and downs, only one person knows.

He put down the wine glass, looked at the sunset outside, and sighed softly. In the sunset, his waist seemed more hunched, and his beard was more gray.

Suddenly he was alone in a quiet room talking to himself.

"Yuan, Yuan, why didn't you die cleanly back then?"
