Zhou Yu has encountered this problem before. But at that time, his usual activity time was at night, and he only read diaries and mobile phone records indoors, so women's menstrual period problems did not cause him much trouble.
Looking back on tonight, it was obviously the worst time.
"...Are you sure you want to come?"
After the afterglow faded, Hongye asked him hesitantly.
Zhou Yu nodded with a livid face.
The abdominal pain became more severe in the afternoon and was much more obvious than the previous times. Although he has basic common sense to deal with this, his mood is another matter.
"Excuse me, Zhou Yu, how do you know your gender?"
"...Can't you see?"
Hongye seemed a little embarrassed. He turned away and said unnaturally: "The difference between yin and yang is 'body', but there is no such difference in 'spirit', so I can't see it directly."
Zhou Yu remained silent, with a dull expression, and began to stomp on the water on the ground with his head down.
Seeing his reaction, Hongye's expression became even more unnatural. She said remedially: "You are only temporarily inhabiting this body. It will be fine in a few months. That...it shouldn't last long...that's what I heard."
"Heard that?"
"This...because I don't have such a thing."
Hearing these words, Zhou Yu subconsciously looked at the figure of the other party.
Hongye immediately said: "I have a physical problem."
"constitution……"
"It's not what you think! My body circulates differently than ordinary people, so I won't grow any more. I will always look like this until I die."
Despite hearing such incredible words, Zhou Yu didn't feel much surprise because the speaker was a delivery boy holding a phantom laser sword. For the sake of concentration, he asked listlessly: "Is it because you have taken some elixir?"
This was just a boring joke. Unexpectedly, Hongye shook his head solemnly: "The effectiveness of the medicine stone is limited. One or two continuations are the limit. If you rely on it, you will definitely not be able to reach the end."
"...red leaves."
"What's the matter?"
"I wanted to ask you before, are you a cultivator who came from the deep mountains and old forests?"
"Although I'm not sure what cultivator you are talking about, I did live in the mountains. My master is also a person from the mountains."
"Oh. I understand. You are a disciple of the Immortal."
Hongye looked even more surprised. She kept shaking her head and said: "Zhou Yu, there is something wrong with your cognition. Immortals are not responsible for teaching skills, and they don't have that kind of opportunity. It's a long story. I'll explain it to you another day."
"...No need. I don't really want to know."
Zhou Yu took the initiative to stop the topic.
If Zhang Mumu were here, he would probably ask the question, but unfortunately, he is equally uninterested in aliens and gods. Since the cooperation is only temporary, it is enough to understand that the other party is not an ordinary person.
"Let's get down to business, Hongye, how are you going to find that person?"
Unknowingly, the two of them had been walking for nearly half an hour. Zhou Yu noticed that they seemed to be heading towards the city center.
"It's harder to find him directly, but it's easy to find the Familia... I've found two of them in the past few days, but they're all minor characters. Let's go look for that kind of place again tonight."
"What kind of place?"
"It's... sorry, I can't remember the name. It's a place where women work as waitresses."
"...We wouldn't be able to enter that kind of place normally, right?"
"Why? Can't you get in if you have money? This person's subordinates, both men and women, often go there."
Zhou Yu was silent for a moment and gave up continuing the discussion.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't matter. Now walking next to him is a wild man in the mountains. Maybe the shallow human houses can't stop him at all. Instead of worrying about this, it is better to consider whether there will be people who know Zhou Yu in that place. Even if the reputation is external, it is not a good thing for Zhou Yu's reputation to be harmed.
Just as he was considering the possible impact of this incident, Hongye suddenly stopped and said, "Zhou Yu, there is something that I hope you will pay attention to in the future."
"What's up?"
"Don't say your name. Don't mention your name in front of outsiders, and don't participate in any form of ritual... Fortunately, this time it is called a 'game'. If you use 'dharma' or 'sacrifice' to perform it, The naming ceremony may have encountered an unexpected incident."
"I won't do any more psychic games. But the rituals you mentioned are not accessible to normal people, right? I'm not a wizard."
"...You misunderstood again, Zhou Yu."
Hongye sighed quietly.
"The ritual is not something obscure and complicated, it is just a collection of forms and concepts. The 'Four Corners Game' you are playing has completely constituted the ritual in terms of steps. But because it is called a 'game', its impact is weakened. . If you do the same thing in the name of the 'Four Corners Festival', I'm afraid the phenomenon that was summoned will directly take on physical form."
"Is a name that important?"
"Of course. There is no name for the Dao, and everything must have a name. For concepts below the Dao, the most directly related thing is the 'name'. If there is no name, then there is no way to distinguish it from the Dao, and there is no way to put it this way... If so, I’m afraid it’s difficult for you to understand. In short, once a name is used, it will have an impact on the related objects, which is a very important rule here.”
"...That is to say, if a tiger is called a cat, will it become harmless?"
"It does mean something like that."
I don’t know why, Hongye smiled slightly, but she immediately turned away and said, "Although the principle is this, in fact this rarely happens. Even though a few people call tigers cats, most people recognize tigers as cats." People still call it "tiger". A few people have minimal influence on the concept of tiger. However, if the number of people who know it is very large, or the people who know it are very special, then it is a different matter. Like you Since the four-corner game you made is called a 'game', it's okay for ordinary people to try it. It's because of the specialness of your body that the ritual of interpretation can work."
When they said this, the two of them had already entered the subway station.
Because she had to act together with Zhou Yu, Hongye did not use her motorcycle this time. After the two of them walked into the crowded station, they consciously stopped talking about these non-conventional topics.
"...Speaking of which, why did you switch to a motorcycle? You were riding a battery before, right?"
Because there were ordinary passengers next to him, Zhou Yu had to pick up some irrelevant words to divert his attention.
Unexpectedly, after hearing his question, the smile on Hongye's face suddenly froze.
"...The night I met you, I parked the car on the side of the road. When I went back, it was gone."
"It means it was stolen. Is that also the car you use to deliver food?"
"Um……"
"So I lost my order and my job. I can only start over in another place, right?"
"……Um."
"Can the thief be found?"
"It's not like there's nothing we can do. We'll go look for him after we've settled the matter."
"...What are you going to do after you find it?"
Hongye lowered his head silently.
Noticing the furtive glances from the passengers next to him, Zhou Yu also consciously kept silent. This is an intuitive judgment. Even if you have to endure the abdominal pain silently, you can't continue to stimulate Hongye.
...As for the battery-car thief, the luckiest outcome is probably that he entered the detention center early. In short, it must not be found by Hongye.
In silence, the two got off the train at Hongsen Station.
Zhou Yu was not surprised at all when he came to Hongsen Business District again. However, Hongye did not go to the Ausier Road that was very close to the two of them. Instead, she led him to the bustling area.
They came to an arcade. Hongye greeted the boss in a familiar manner, and then walked toward the basement along the safe passage in the corner. At the end of the stairs, the brightly lit hall was filled with the laughter and shouts of men and women. Only then did Zhou Yu realize the problem.
"...red leaves."
"how?"
"Although there may indeed be an inclusive relationship in the concept of words, please don't use '花' and 'Lotus' interchangeably. Flower waiter and dealer are two completely different professions."
He pointed at the underground casino in front of him and said.
