Li Heping is still doing detective work when he is old.
He said it was his hobby.
The idiot leaders of the Qi Physics Bureau and his stinky disciples don't understand him at all.
But now there is a new apprentice who looks easy to deceive... Oh no, he is very pure in mind and respects the old and loves the young. Li Heping feels that he can have a good talk with him.
So when he got up in the morning, he went to the village to buy chickens.
That brat Li Zheng must have said bad things about him, such as "the teacher refused to accept a disciple, so he ran away" and so on. Although this is true, how can the teacher's face be ignored?
In order to reverse this image and show his welcome to Yan Yueming, Li Heping bought two chickens at a time.
Someone was holding a wedding in the village today, and Li Heping went to join in the fun, so he was delayed for some time. When he returned to the inn, it was already past eleven o'clock at noon. He handed the two chickens to the kitchen for them to help with, and then went to find his apprentice.
I've been looking around, where is the person?
He went out from the inn again, and after searching for a long time, he found the person standing under the tree opposite the inn. Li Zheng sneered, "I still want to be a detective."
Yan Yueming didn't dare to speak.
You clearly took me to hide just now, but now you stand so clearly just to say this?
Li Heping heard this, glared at him angrily, and waved to Yan Yueming with a smile, "Come on, Xiao Ming, the teacher will talk to you."
Yan Yueming looked at Li Zheng and then passed.
Li Heping was very enthusiastic. He patted Yan Yueming on the shoulder and looked around very satisfied. If he had known earlier that he was taking on such a young apprentice, he wouldn't have run away.
This enthusiasm lasted until lunch.
Because Li Heping came back late, he didn't have time to cook the roast chicken, so he ate the meal provided by the inn at noon. Yan Yueming has an average appetite and can be full with about a bowl of rice. No one has said anything to her since she was a child, but the teacher feels very sorry for her.
"Why do you eat so much? Only when you are full can you have the strength to study and get good grades." Li Heping said and quickly made a study plan for him.
"Let's do this. You live here these days, and the teacher will give you special training." Li Heping finally shouldered the burden of being a teacher, and after he finished explaining his teaching plan, Yan Yueming showed an almost dull expression. .
If Senior Li’s style is to teach students in accordance with their aptitude and give free play, then Senior Sister’s style is to use head-hanging beams and cones to stab her buttocks, the Junior School Principal is the encouragement of love, and the teacher is the Spartan warrior trainer.
"Teacher, I am taking the logistics test." Yan Yueming reminded in a low voice.
"Logistics also needs a good body. Various departments are running back and forth, and what if you fall into the gap again? The anomalies there are all kinds of weird, and you can't finish learning, so when you encounter danger, you run away. The world Martial arts can only be broken if you are fast." Li Heping said.
Help.
Yan Yueming looked at Li Zheng for help. Li Zheng drank tea elegantly without raising his eyelids.
In this way, Yan Yueming began special physical training.
He didn't know why he took this road. When he packed his luggage and followed Li Zheng out of the city, he still wanted to enjoy the scenery, but his plan couldn't keep up with the change.
When Yan Yueming was running on the mountain road, Li Zheng and Li Heping were watching. The two chatted about business, and the atmosphere finally relaxed a little.
"It's not a good start for Zhen. He must have been avoiding the limelight recently, but it's not a good thing if he stays dormant for too long." Because this means that he may hold back a big one next time, Li Heping thought. Li Zheng completely understood his worries and said: "When soldiers come, they will block the water and cover it with the earth. This is not always the case."
Li Heping turned to look at him, "But safety is the most important thing. Li Zheng, you know what I want to tell you. It is not advisable to be alone. Everything must be based on your own safety, do you understand?"
Li Zheng did not answer.
Li Heping: "Why don't you go on a blind date before the poison shows up? It doesn't matter if you don't like women. How many years has it been since the same-sex marriage bill was passed?"
In this age where there are rules everywhere, if there are no rules, then there should be no rules. Therefore, the world is much more open and tolerant in many aspects than it was thirty years ago.
Li Heping wanted to find a partner quickly. With concern, this person would become more alive. Li Zheng asked him lightly, "You haven't found a partner yet, is it appropriate to tell me this?"
"Why is it inappropriate? You are not me, and I am not you." Li Heping tried to make the final decision, "That's it, I'll make arrangements for you later."
"Not going."
"Tsk."
Li Heping was frustrated again, so he simply went to find his young apprentice. He thought that Yan Yueming had just started training, so he didn't arrange too heavy training tasks for him. He just went for a run and moved his limbs, and then let him rest.
But even with such a small amount of training, Yan Yueming was sweating like rain.
In order to divert the teacher's attention and prevent him from thinking too much about himself, Yan Yueming wiped his sweat, drank the mineral water that Li Zheng handed him, and racked his brains to change the topic, "Teacher, the senior said that you have guesses about the protagonist. I’m very interested, do you have any clues?”
Li Heping talked about this with great interest, "Actually, the clue is here."
Yan Yueming: "Here? Mingshan?"
Li Heping: "Teacher, aren't I very interested in this? I finally retired and have my own time. I have been traveling around in the past two years. There are special forums on the Internet, and there are also rumors and gossip from various places. I I have verified them all one by one, but unfortunately so far, none of them are true. However, there is a generally accepted guess - if there is a protagonist, then the protagonist is most likely from Shangfang City."
Yan Yueming tried to use his brain, "Is it because Zhen appeared in Shangfang City three times in a row? Or is it because Shangfang City is big enough?"
"They are all there." Li Heping said: "It is large enough, which means that the rules cover a large area and the population is large. It is a veritable core area. And the poison has appeared here three times in a row, which really explains the problem. The Qi Xiang Bureau has actually been looking for it, It’s just that the sea of people is huge, and it’s enough to just deal with the daily rules. Where is the manpower to find the needle in the haystack? There is also a saying that after the author completed the construction of this world, he did not really develop the storyline, and the story was shelved. However, because the structure of the world is complete, the world is still alive, world consciousness was born, and we gradually awakened. Theoretically, there is no real protagonist. Over the years, the Qi Phase Bureau has become more inclined to this kind of speculation. "
Li Zheng said calmly: "If there is no protagonist, then everyone is the protagonist."
Yan Yueming thought this statement was great and immediately cast his admiring gaze on it, "I think this is good."
"But just when I got here and planned to explore for the last time, I finally found some clues." Li Heping was not without pride, and even gave it to Yan Yueming, "Guess how I found out?"
Yan Yueming thought hard again, but couldn't think of anything, so he just kept it secret, "Fell into the gap?"
I don’t know if you have, but I fell into it a few days ago.
Li Heping crossed his arms, "That's right."
Yan Yueming blinked, but he didn't expect that he guessed it right. Li Heping said with a smile: "I accidentally came across a gap here a few days ago. After entering, I found that it was a small mountain village. Theoretically, the gaps are all connected, but I have never seen it in the gas phase bureau for so many years. This small mountain village. Later, I wandered around this small mountain village and found a piece of paper with the words
One sentence. The era background of this small mountain village is not modern. All the words in it are traditional Chinese characters, only the ones on this paper are simplified Chinese characters. This proves that the person who left this sentence is just like me, a wanderer who accidentally fell into the real world. "
Yan Yueming asked curiously: "What was that message?"
Li Heping: "If I am really the protagonist, then I will curse it. It will be possessed by bad luck and will always fall behind at critical moments."
Because the tone of Li Heping's narration is a little teasing, this sentence does not appear to be scary, but rather a bit joyful.
Yan Yueming raised her doubts, "Does 'it' refer to astrology? But the paper says 'if', isn't this person not sure whether he is the protagonist? And anyone can claim to be the 'protagonist'." .”
Li Heping shook his head and continued: "It's true that anyone can do it. The identity of the protagonist is not only impersonated, but often people use it to make fun of themselves. This is normal. But your senior must know that when the first generation of poison was killed situation."
Yan Yueming looked at Li Zheng and saw that Li Zheng seemed to have thought of something interesting. He curled up his lips and said, "He tripped over a stone and lost one of his front teeth."
"Ah..." Yan Yueming didn't know what to say.
Li Heping: "In fact, the first generation also had unlucky moments. For example, a passing bird pooped on top of her head. Why was Xiangjian so anxious?"
The more Yan Yueming listened, the more mysterious it became. Of course, the Qi Xiang Bureau will not publish the details of how the poisonous people died in the past. As an ordinary person, if he did not hear such words from the teacher and the senior, he would think that the other party was Make up nonsenseM
"But...is there still no conclusive evidence?" Yan Yueming asked.
"Yes, anyone can curse. There is still no evidence. Therefore, this clue is not high enough to be reported, so I can only investigate it myself." This was the reason why Li Heping called Li Zheng over. He wanted to go again. I wanted to explore that place, but after all, I am a retired old man. It is time to enjoy happiness. How can I be so tired?
At this time, the apprentice came in handy.
The apprentice doesn't want to pay attention to him, but the teacher's will cannot be transferred to the apprentice.
Li Heping was very decisive on this matter, "Anyway, that gap is really special. We have to go there again."
But the problem now is that the entrance and exit of the gap, just like the door made by Ura Kazuo, is not always there. There are no rules, you have to try your luck.
So Li Heping waved his hand and decided to treat his young apprentice to roast chicken first.
Roast chicken location: The campsite by the stream 300 meters away from the inn.
Roast chicken chef: Li Zheng.
Yan Yueming didn't expect that the seemingly otherworldly Senior Li had such skills. He had never touched the kitchen utensils in the kitchen when he was on Huayuan Road.
He couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart, so even though he felt that there was an aura on Li Zheng's face as if a storm was coming, he still approached cautiously, step by step, and then squatted by the fire and watched.
Li Zheng's face showed impatience, but the movements of his hands were unambiguous. Rolling and spreading ingredients, simple actions create a pleasing effect.
The aroma came out, and Yan Yueming was also hungry. His eyes sometimes stared at the roast chicken, and sometimes looked at Li Zheng.
At the campsite in the evening, the setting sun sprinkled a piece of gold in the creek next to it. The broken gold flows, reflecting the rose-colored romance. Li Zheng glanced at the person squatting next to him and suddenly asked: "Want to eat?"
Yan Yueming nodded quickly, "I think so."
Fine.
For the sake of your honesty.
By the time the chicken is done roasting, the sun has gone down. The lights were on at the campsite. Looking around, the trees by the stream and more than a dozen tents of various sizes were hung with beautiful colored lights, which looked like the Milky Way falling down. It was very beautiful.
On the small wooden stage, someone held a guitar and sang a song. The song was melodious. Because the song was too sad, the tourists nearby asked him to change it. The young man holding the guitar smiled and cursed, raised his youthful eyebrows, changed the style of music, and started rocking.
Everyone got excited.
Li Heping has shown strong social skills. He has become familiar with most of the tourists in the campsite in the past few days. If there are new tourists he doesn't know, he can chat for a few words and quickly change glasses. Lehe.
Yan Yueming insisted on roasting chicken and his seniors unwaveringly. Without the obstruction of the black-rimmed glasses, his gaze when looking at the roast chicken became much more intense, but no matter how intense it was, his movements were very regular and did not go beyond the limits.
Li Zheng took the roasted chicken off the grill, and then magically took out a delicate knife from nowhere. He slowly deboned the roasted chicken and divided the meat, which made Yan Yue's bright eyes sparkle.
The senior seems to really know everything. Yan Yueming thought.
Li Zheng divided the meat and handed the plate with chicken legs to Yan Yueming. Yan Yueming took it and ate happily. Occasionally, Li Heping would come back with the food he received from his friends to feed his two apprentices, so after dinner, Yan Yueming was full again.
While sitting and eating, Yan Yueming heard Li Heping bragging to his friends. Because his friends praised the two boys he brought here as handsome.
Yan Yueming was a little embarrassed after hearing this. He secretly glanced at Li Zheng from the corner of his eye and found that he was calm and composed.
It seems that he is still not good at cultivation, Yan Yueming thought, hesitated for a moment, and said to Li Zheng: "Senior, um... when you and the teacher go to the gap, can you take me with you?"
Yan Yueming knew that his strength was limited. The teacher called him over, not to include him in the list for the gap trip, but probably just to let him come over for a meeting.
Besides, if the poison appears in the city, there is a high probability that it will be safer outside the city than in the city at this moment. Li Zheng came here and left Yan Yueming alone on Huayuan Road, so she might as well take him with her.
Li Zheng looked over and said nothing.
Yan Yueming continued to fight for himself, "I will try not to hold you back."
Li Zheng: "Reason?"
Yan Yueming calmed down and began his own analysis, first refining the key points: "I think I have to remember the things in the gap sooner or later, so the long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain. And that, the stupid bird flies into the forest early."
This is a good start, and the rest will flow smoothly. Luo Liba talked a lot about Yan Yueming's analysis of his own personality, the responsibilities and requirements of the Qi Phase Bureau, and the characteristics of the gaps.
All in all, although he was going to take the logistics test, the future was unpredictable. Since he was going to enter the Qi Xiang Bureau, he had to prepare for the worst. Instead of panicking and panicking in the face of danger, he might as well fly first, so as not to cause trouble to others.
There was another part of the reason he didn't say.
First, what he saw recently touched him. At first, everyone was so kind to him, and he couldn't help but think that one day he could help them too.
Instead of procrastinating and seeking temporary stability for that day, month, or year, it is better to boldly make changes. This was the path he finally chose for himself after coming out of the silent neighborhood for so many days.
Xiao Ming doesn't want to be a hero, but he wants to be a good partner who doesn't hold him back.
"Do you think it's okay?" Yan Yueming looked at Li Zheng with burning eyes, and his reflection was also reflected in Li Zheng's eyes.
There was a beeping sound in the fire, and the firelight warmed the people here and brought light. Finally, Li Zheng replied: "If you haven't changed your mind before the entrance to the gap appears again, I will take you there."
