dinner
have to find a way to keep him
It's three in the middle of the night.
In the most beautiful time of night and dream, I am afraid that he is the only poor gray bird who is still being ordered back and forth by Ling Yufeng and cannot return home.
He flicked his wings, and when he landed, he was a refined and refined classmate Jiang. Unfortunately, what Xiao Jiang was going to do now was not elegant.
He was instructed by Ling Yufeng to break into the house at night to steal an umbrella.
Jiang Huique went into Luo Qing's house worrying about his feet.A sparrow feather was pinched at the fingertips, and the umbrella in the trash can had been dropped.He carried the frozen Umbrella Demon, and as soon as he walked out of the building, Ling Yufeng held him down.
"Wait, his door lock is broken. You put this on for him." Ling Yufeng didn't even say "thank you", just the next order.
Jiang Huique took a look at the lock Ling Yufeng gave him, shook his head, and said, "Brother Ling, I repaired the original lock for him when I came out. You can press it on a high-end lock with fingerprint recognition like you, and he will be the only one to press it." That wooden door will attract people who steal the lock."
He was preoccupied with talking, and looked up to see that the dark purple eyes of the demon king in the night were about to catch fire, so he quickly softened his words and said with a smile: "Brother Ling, why don't you use yours next time?"
"That's a lot of nonsense." Ling Yufeng grabbed the umbrella and went away.
He held it in his hand and carefully looked at the Umbrella Demon that was frozen into a popsicle.
He was thinking, the umbrella demon is not a demon around here.Did he come across the ocean from Lindao just for a drop of Luoshen Khan? !If this is the case, the news of Luoshen's fall has spread far enough.
The gray bird also fluttered its small wings and landed on Ling Yufeng's shoulder. Looking at the umbrella demon who was frozen to death and could no longer die, he chirped: "Brother Ling, look at this umbrella demon who can't figure out what's going on!" He died so peacefully. In fact, the Umbrella Demon didn't have time to display his real demonic power, he could have summoned his soul..."
"Shut up." Ling Yufeng yelled, a red flame ignited in his hand, and within a few seconds, the umbrella that had just been frozen solid disappeared out of thin air.
Ling Yufeng let go of his clenched fist, revealing a deformed black lentil-like thing in his palm, raised his hand to his shoulder, and said, "Go and give this to Lao Mao and let him put it in the bun. I'll go get it before dawn." .”
Gray Bird was almost stunned, he didn't go to fetch the bean immediately, and couldn't help chirping: "King Ling, are you really crazy? He is an ordinary person now. Why are you giving him the demon liver?"
"Do not talk nonsense."
"No, I know he is your treasure." Seeing that the demon king was about to change color, Gray Sparrow quickly changed his words, "Ah, I was wrong, even if he is a national treasure. Let's put it this way, he is like a giant panda that only eats bamboo. National treasure, you gave him a demon liver, isn't that a waste of money?"
"roll!"
The gray bird was going to be in pain if he continued talking, so he had to fly away with the demon liver in his mouth.
It was still dark and I couldn't see the bird's claws.It was just past four o'clock.
The gray bird landed in the backstreet of the most prosperous alley in Jiangcheng, where there was an ancient attic with unique decoration.
In the middle of the second floor of the attic hangs a magnificent horizontal plaque. It is said that this plaque was inscribed by a literati in the Qing Dynasty, with a few large characters on it: Jiangcheng No. [-] Maojia Steamed Bun Shop.
At the entrance on the first floor, various labels for queuing are pasted all over the wall.
[Only sell 300 meat buns per day]
[Limited buns please order one month in advance]
In the night, a tiger-striped cat licked its paws and jumped lightly, jumped to the top of the attic, waved its paws at the gray bird, and sat down on the hanging beam of the attic.
After asking the reason, the old cat rolled its eyes and saw the demon liver with green light, and said with emotion: "It is rare to see such a complete demon liver. Giving it to an ordinary person is like eating a piece of garlic. Yes, eating is the same as not eating."
"Isn't it!" Gray Bird nodded vigorously.
The old cat gently wrapped the demon liver, and said: "Xiao Jiang, take it back and persuade King Ling to use it himself. Now he has turned into a living person, hiding his original body, suppressing the demon power, and needs to be mended. .”
Grayfinch shook his head helplessly.
The old cat still didn't give up, and persuaded: "Brother Ling can become king in the demon world because of his strength and demon power. Don't live too long, and forget the laws of the demon world. He is really weak. In this demon world where the weak can eat the strong, not only The group of demons killed him, and where are the old gods outside are staring at him. Think of a way, take it back and let him eat it."
There were tears in the gray bird's eyes, "Old Mao, don't you know his temper. I can't do it, why don't you think of a way."
The cat's eyes and the bird's eyes of the two old demons remained silent.
In the end, the old cat clapped its claws and came to a conclusion: "Okay, I chopped it up and put it in the stuffing of the buns. Who doesn't know the wisdom of your Gray Finch family, you should find a way, even if you let Brother Ling eat a bite."
Today's sunrise was 1 minute earlier, Luo Qing stepped on and opened his eyes.
5:17 minutes.
Luo Qing reluctantly opened her eyes.
Dreams have everything.Big crabs, crayfish, pig's claws, oxtail, chicken feet, and morel... Hey, when I opened my eyes, my stomach was so uncomfortable.
There is still some time before the delivery guy comes over, I don't know if he will come today.
Luo Qing remembered that the umbrella he brought last night had a strange smell, so he couldn't bear to turn on the hot water, so he quickly took a cold shower.
A sneeze—sneezed several times in a row.
Looking forward to a hot breakfast.
Ding dong.
Before the doorbell rang, Luo Qing pushed the door open.
It's so fragrant.
steamed stuffed bun.
awesome!
With the tangy fragrance, Luo Qing guessed what was in the bag without asking any further questions.
"Morning. It's yours." The takeaway boy pressed his peaked cap, and the three words remained unchanged.
Luo Qing was not polite to him either, she said "Morning", turned around and closed the door, and shut the takeaway outside with a bang.
Luo Qing raised her foot and kicked the door, before she had time to sit down, she took out a hot steamed bun from the bag.
Hungry to the limit, seeing the soft and fragrant meat bun in her hand, Luo Qing closed her eyes and took a big bite.
Sigh and snort.
The tears in Luo Qing's pink eyes were already rolling and streaming out.
How could it be frozen? ?
Ling Yufeng sat cross-legged on the window sill, and while stroking the little round-faced cat who came to see the excitement every day, he pressed his face against the glass.
If it hadn't been for the gray sparrow to lure away the little round-faced cat in time, Ling Yufeng's slap could really smack it and kill the cat's soul.
"Gray bird, what's the matter with Baozi?!" Ling Yufeng grabbed Gray bird's paw.
"It's the same as usual." Gray Sparrow suddenly shivered, broke away from Ling Yufeng's hand, and jumped onto his shoulder, "Ling Wang, didn't you tell me to put the umbrella demon's demon liver into the bun? The demon liver was slammed by Luoshen's mana, and it froze again."
"It shouldn't be. I warmed it with real fire." Ling Yufeng was very calm.
The gray bird smacked its beak: real fire.Really willing.
He blinked his eyes and suggested, "How about Brother Ling, why don't you try going in now?"
Before he could finish speaking, Ling Yufeng jumped off the windowsill and rang the doorbell again.
Luo Qing closed the bag, wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and opened the door.
The takeaway boy's hat was pulled down very low, and he could only see his clearly defined lips moving, and he said, "I'm sorry. I just delivered the wrong order. That bag is frozen buns. Can I change it with you?"
Luo Qing was originally listless and a little sad, but after hearing this, she regained her spirits.He quickly handed over the steamed stuffed bun including the bag, pretending not to know, "Oh, yes."
"Please wait a moment. I'll get it from the car." Ling Yufeng grabbed the paper bag, and this time he closed the door.
Walking out of the building, he pretended to fetch the steamed stuffed bun and warmed the steamed stuffed bun directly with his hands on the bag.
When Luo Qing opened the door again, there was another bag of fragrant and warm buns.
Luo Qing didn't directly reach out to pick it up this time.
In fact, the delivery boy did not make a mistake the first time, and he knows it well.
He didn't expect to be able to pick up a bargain for nothing, and he wanted to eat hot food so much, which made him think a little bit carefully.
"Oh, I'm so sorry to trouble you. It's so fast. I just watered the flowers, turned over the soil, and now I'm burying them in my hands." As she spoke, Luo Qing stretched out her two hands behind her back, and they were really fair and slender His hands were covered with mud.
Ling Yufeng: Do you grow flowers?Did you just dig the soil?
But no sound.
Luo Qing's peach blossom eyes were full of smiles, and the corners of his mouth were raised, and he asked, "Can I trouble you to bring it in?"
Ling Yufeng hesitated, then nodded.
He buried himself in the threshold, squatted down and was about to slip on his slippers.
Luo Qing saw that his hands would get dirty if they touched the upper of the shoe.So, he quickly waved his hands and said with a polite smile: "You don't need to change your shoes, I'm too sorry to waste your time. Come in and sit down."
After speaking, Luo Qing clamped the back of the chair with his elbow, pulled out the chair, and continued, "Sit down, please sit down."
Ling Yufeng sat down.
Luo Qing was already drooling greedily, but he still held it back, and then pretended to be enthusiastic and said, "Shall I get you a glass of water?"
After finishing speaking, Luo Qing didn't move.
Ling Yufeng raised his eyebrows under the brim of his hat: water?You can't pour it out.
He quickly replied in a deep voice, "No need."
Luo Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt like a little fox who was only cheating on food, and now he had to rack his brains to continue coaxing this little takeaway, which was too difficult.
"Can you take out one and show me. After all, you went out to change a bag." Luo Qing asked, feeling a little embarrassed, rubbing his head with the back of his hand, and a strand of hair was also stained with dirt.
Ling Yufeng didn't speak, he directly took out a bun from the bag and held it in his hand.
The white meat bun was still steaming, Luo Qing swallowed, her Adam's apple kept shaking.
No matter how thick-skinned he was, he still couldn't say the next sentence.
Ling Yufeng cleared his throat, and said in a calm and generous voice, "In my car, there are two flavors of buns. Vegetable stuffing and pork stuffing. I may have got it wrong. Would you like to try it? Is it yours?" Some steamed stuffed buns."
want!Too much!
Luo Qing's peach-blossom eyes turned into crescent moons when he smiled. He couldn't express too much expectation, so he frowned on purpose, and said with some difficulty, "Then, all right. That's the only way to go."
So, he bent down reservedly, opened his thin pink lips, revealing a row of white teeth.
Bite down gently, there is no sound at all, it is so soft and fragrant.
He took two bites, and he had already seen the stuffing of the buns, and he seemed to have to say something after biting down.
But, how should I put it... Waiting online, just in time, Luo Qing remembered a TV cartoon she had watched recently.
Anyway, he didn't know his name, and he wasn't interested, so he might as well just call him "brother".
Luo Qing looked at the takeaway who had been holding the steamed buns motionlessly, moved another chair and sat beside him.
He shook his thick eyelashes, and asked in a waxy voice, "Brother, have you eaten?"
Ling Yufeng shook his head solemnly.He has seen many monsters, but he has never seen such a bewitching living person.He even thought that he must have heard it wrong, that cold and clean Luo Qing would call him "Brother"? !
Luo Qing felt that the opportunity came, so he forced the invitation: "How about, I'll treat you to this meal, let's eat together."
He was afraid that the takeaway brother would refuse, so before he could answer, he continued to say with embarrassment: "I really can't hold the buns with my hand now. But, brother, if you are still busy delivering takeaways, forget it."
Ling Yufeng didn't speak, but stretched the bun to Luo Qing's mouth again.
One, two, three.
He kept raising his hands, holding them like this, and let Luo Qing finish eating three buns.Ling Yufeng didn't say a word in the middle.
Luo Qing saw that there was only one bun left in the bag, and then he clapped his muddy hands and put them on the delivery guy's arm, and said softly, "It's agreed, please. This one pleases you." eat."
Ling Yufeng can enter this room at six o'clock, he has sealed all the monster power, and now he is no different from an ordinary person.
At this time, a cold force slowly poured into the arm held by Luo Qing, like a clear cold spring in a mountain stream, Ling Yufeng dared not exert his strength because of it, he would freeze if he didn't leave.It will be frozen like the frozen umbrella demon last night.
He raised his other hand and pressed down on the peaked cap, and swallowed the buns in his hand in two bites.
Luo Qing saw it: this, how hungry you are!
Then I thought about it again: I just let this little takeaway watch him eat three buns in a row, didn't he just want to be greedy for others.
Luo Qing forgot for a moment, fearing that he would choke, she stretched out her hand to stroke the takeaway's back.
Suddenly a gust of icicles shot down from Ling Yufeng's back, like dense needles, which made him numb and itchy, his throat tightened, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.Ling Yufeng quickly stood up and said, "Thank you for the buns, can I have a glass of water?"
"Oh, look, I forgot." Luo Qing smiled embarrassedly, moved away to get two glass cups, and put them on the table.
The water in the kettle was just boiled in the morning, and he held the kettle nervously, hesitating how to pour water into the glass in order to hide his terrifying ability to turn boiling water into ice cubes in an instant.
Ling Yufeng pressed the brim of his hat again, and said flatly, "I'll help you hold the cup."
Luo Qing asked for anything, she was so happy.
After pouring two glasses of water, looking at the steaming water, he also wanted to take a sip together.
However, thinking about the weird freezing phenomenon that would happen after reaching out his hand, he still swallowed and held back.
"Oh. Your hands are dirty, so you can't hold the cup, right? Here." Ling Yufeng stood up, and generously handed the cup to Luo Qing's mouth.
Gudong Gudong, I haven't drank hot water for a long time, so comfortable.
Out of the corner of Luo Qing's eyes, she stared at the little takeaway: I have to find a way to keep him.Must keep him.
