The mage in the city wants to practice Taoism

The lights in the city are so bright at night that it is difficult to see whether the sky is clear or cloudy.

The phone rang three times. He put down the cup with one hand and picked up the phone from the table next to him to answer the call.

"Hey."

"Xi Mengxiu, pick me up at Qingguo Road. I've sent you the address."

Without any extra words, the phone was hung up.

Xi Mengxiu looked expressionlessly at the cup he had just placed on the table. To be precise, it was half a glass of wine he had drunk.

Qingguo Road is a place with many entertainment venues, and its other name is Bar Street 2. The real bar street is on Qingnian Road. The place there is more lively and noisy, while the place on Qingguo Road is quieter.

The most obvious difference between Bar Street and Bar Street 2 is the people and the music: in the nightclubs and discos on Qingnian Road, it is difficult to distinguish between the different religions. Among the people who play here, you can often see many punk rock styles, such as shapes and colors. All eye-catching hair, studded leather outfits, heavy makeup and tattoos. In terms of music, there is often a distinctive style with intense rhythm, loud music, and out-of-the-box lyrics; while the scene on Qingguo Road is mostly filled with people who claim to be literary and artistic. The attire is mainly casual, with some formal wear. The music style is more relaxed, with more pure music, folk tunes, country music and the like.

Bai Xuanyuan watched with a headache as his friend blocked the half-packed booth. There were three people blocked. The leader was a thin young man. He wore a delicate earring in one ear and his hair looked like it had been styled by a stylist. A slim-fitting suit, and a watch that I don’t know the brand of, but looks gorgeous at first glance.

In fact, even those who claim to be artistic and artistic are not without high quality on the inside.

Bai Xuanzhen just had a dinner with his colleagues after get off work, and then a few people who got along with him made an appointment to come to Qingguo Road. What happened?

The man with the earrings seemed to have come to this bar only after finishing the drinking table. There is a word called "by accident". The man with the earrings was so strange that he looked at the man with the earrings for a few more times, and then he wanted to come over and get acquainted with each other again. drink wine......

In ancient times, the front of a car was high and the back was low, which was called Xuan.

But at this moment, Bai Xuanyuan didn't want to weigh the importance. Looking at the neat and dignified look of the young man with earrings, he felt a little unhappy for no reason, and even had the urge to step forward and kick him.

No matter how much his friends and waiters tried to dissuade him, the young man with earrings insisted on getting to know Bai Xuanyuan and having a drink.

Got drunk on alcohol!

But to be honest, the young man with earrings was well-behaved. He didn't do anything rudely. He was just very stubborn and tried to stop Bai Xuanyuan who wanted to leave.

Anger rose, and he was held tightly by his best friend. Two or three other colleagues also stood upright. Bai Xuanyuan took a few deep breaths, grabbed the special wine glass in the bar, and wanted to throw it on the head of the earring.

He was getting drunker and his voice was a little slurred, and he said with a loud tongue:

"Sister, just to get to know each other, brother, I'm not bad in appearance, right? I have a pretty good fortune and a good job..."

The manager of the bar also rushed over and politely said:

"Guest, please go back to your seat. This lady doesn't want to have contact with you for the time being. You will disturb other people."

The companion of the young man with studded earrings pulled him awkwardly, trying to get him to sit back in the booth. However, the drunkard burst out with brute strength and couldn't pull him away at all, but he did not dare to relax. The other man had no choice but to turn to Bai Xuanyuan and others and persuaded:

"He's not usually like this. He was happy and drank a little more today... Can you let this young lady have a drink with him... Don't worry, we will stop him and won't let him mess around. Yes. After drinking, he might be easier to talk to."

My best friend yelled angrily: "Don't you feel shameless!"

The bar manager glanced at the watch of the young man with earrings, and cursed in his mind, not daring to ask anyone to forcibly drive away this rich or expensive customer.

Bai Xuanyuan was so angry that he slowly let go of the cup and looked at the young man with earrings. His face, which was originally red with anger, calmed down. She heard that Xi Mengxiu's ex-wife, her sister, also met that person because of drinking. What did Bai Shifei think at the time?

Bai Xuanyuan sat down slowly and said in a clear and sweet voice without any ups and downs:

"Sit down first. I'll call someone over and talk about it later."

Then he took out his cell phone from his bag and called Xi Mengxiu.

When most people heard this, they would naturally think that Bai Xuanyuan was trying to shake people up, but when they looked at her, her expression was very calm. There was no intimidation or arrogance. It didn't sound like she was saying, "Just wait and see." the meaning of.

The young man with the stud earrings was now in high spirits and sneered:

"Ha! Then I want to see who is coming! Bring me an extra chair."

Then he swayed and pulled up a chair and sat outside the long table in the booth. He seemed to be sitting on the main seat, and he also called his companions to sit down too.

Bai Xuanyuan's colleagues and friends, the bar manager, and even the companions of the young man with earrings also looked at Bai Xuanyuan curiously and cautiously. My best friend hugged Bai Xuanyuan and whispered:

"Xuan Yu, should we call the police?"

......

Let’s talk about Xi Mengxiu. After receiving the call, I looked at the wine glass I had just put down and reached out to grab my long hair. I wanted to hesitate, but I still got up and went back to the room to change out of my pajamas. Then I walked into the bathroom and wiped my face, looking up. Looking in the mirror, he frowned. He picked up the electric razor and shaved off the messy stubble, and pulled his long hair into a bun with a hair tie - actually just a piece of cloth - like a bun or a Taoist bun.

It takes less than five minutes from changing clothes to leaving the house.

At the gate of the community, security guard Zhao looked at Xi Mengxiu in surprise and muttered, "Why is this kid out at this time today?"

老赵甚至还掏出手机看了看日期时间：8月5号晚上8点46分。平时奚孟修会固定在每月初的1号或者2号早上出一次门，月中的16号或者17号早上再出一次门，几乎每次都是傍晚回来。平时生活采买都是外卖快递服务，偶尔会见到他出门扔垃圾。其他时间根本见不到这位6019的住户。

Xi Mengxiu stood at the intersection, took out his mobile phone to check the location, and scanned a shared electric vehicle with two wheels from the roadside. Modern city life is indeed very convenient, but it requires money.

Just as he was about to leave, a careless voice came.

"Hey! Who is this? Overhaul! The sun is out at night right now? Are you confused? How can you give up?"

Xi Mengxiu half-sat on the electric car, one foot on the ground, holding the handle with both hands, frowning as he looked at the fat man opposite him. He has a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, clean shaven temples, a pot-lid-like hair tied in a small ponytail, a vest, an open short-sleeved floral shirt, beach shorts, and mesh shoes.

"Me, Wang Zhoulong!"

Wang Zhoulong was very angry. He had grown up together since he was a child. The expression on his face just now was so bright that he didn't recognize it. It was so bright that it hurt people's hearts! By the way, these street lights are really bright. Is it necessary for the municipal department to make these lighting facilities so bright?

Xi Mengxiu suddenly realized and tried his best to smile.

"It's Xiao Shun! I have something to go out for."

The old saying in Tanzhou calls snakes "Shun". Wang Zhoulong's name has the word "dragon" in it, so he should have been called "Little Dragon", but when he was a child, everyone teased him and called him "Little Snake (Shun)".

Xi Mengxiu ran away quickly on his electric bicycle, leaving Wang Zhoulong even more unhappy and helpless.

Just now, he was drinking beer and eating barbecue with a few people in a roadside shop. From a distance, he saw Xi Mengxiu coming out of the community and looking around, then looking for an electric car, and hurried over to confirm if it was Xi Mengxiu.

Not long after the divorce, Xi Mengxiu quit his job and disappeared without a trace. Not long after, his phone was often turned off, and he was almost out of touch. Moreover, Overhaul gave Wang Zhoulong the feeling that he had a mental problem and had become both socially anxious and a homebody. Even a young boy like Wang Zhoulong had not seen him very often in the past two years.

After finally meeting him, Wang Zhoulong couldn't help but want to ridicule Da Xiu. He simply felt that this guy was not worth it. He did this for a woman... Who could have imagined that this guy would hide for too long. I can no longer recognize myself, and I feel even more resentful and resentful.

Cursing secretly, Wang Zhoulong turned around and walked into the barbecue restaurant. His companion asked:

"Brother Long, who is your grandson?"

The depressed Wang Zhoulong suddenly became angry and slapped him on the shoulder - not on the head or face, so it was not considered a bad attitude or insulting, but he shouted angrily:

"Can you speak? Can you speak? No manners at all! No quality at all! What about grandson and grandson? That was my neighbor's brother when I was young!"
