It took Fu Xitang three days to take care of the garden in Xu Bai's villa again, because he found that except for the sunflowers, everything else in the yard was in a half-dead state, which looked a little pitiful.

By the way, he also built a ban here to prevent the paparazzi from secretly taking pictures.

When Shang Si came to visit, he was pruning flower branches, and he knew the arrival of the guest without looking back.

He asked, "Why are you free today?"

Shang Si leaned on the pillar, looked at him, and said, "Let's see if you're dead."

"Crack." Fu Xitang cut off the last redundant flower branch, watched it turn into the purest life force and seep into the soil in his palm, and then turned back and walked into the house.

"Then do you see clearly now?" The two faced each other.

Shang Si was really looking at him carefully, but after watching for a long time, he didn't say a word of conclusion.

Fu Xitang went into the house to make a pot of tea, and sat under the eaves with Shang Si to talk.

Shang Si didn't see anything outside at all, lying comfortably on the armchair, took out a pair of sunglasses from his wide sleeves, put on them, and enjoyed sunbathing.After lying like this for a while, he said slowly: "I have seen all the photos on the Internet. I said that you are a dignified Mr. Fu, and you are hyping up with a few juniors. Are you ashamed?"

"To each other." Fu Xitang didn't forget that when this girl first started dating, she didn't hold back much.

"Tsk, today's young men, everyone likes the new and dislikes the old."

Fu Xitang declined to comment.

Shang Si said again: "Is this what you plan to do now? Take care of flowers and plants every day, cook, and wait for your little boyfriend to come home?"

Fu Xitang took a sip of tea, still sitting upright and elegant, and said slowly: "There is nothing wrong with eating soft rice."

Shang Si rolled his eyes through the sunglasses and said, "The document is handed to me again. Are you really not interested in making a little contribution to society?"

"No." Fu Xitang answered neatly and ruthlessly.After the census of demon mouths in recent years, the forces in the demon world have been rectified, and all aspects must be controlled.As the biggest big boss, Shang Si, even if he is lazy by nature, there are many things that he can't hide from if he wants to.

Fu Xitang returned to the country, and he finally caught a reliable person to dump the blame, but the other party didn't want to accept his blame at all.

"Fourth master, if you are capable, you will have to work hard, why bother to shirk." Fu Xitang said.

"Thank you, sir." Shang Si wanted to kick him to death.

Fu Xitang let him get angry, and he remained still.

The two big monsters who had lived for an unknown number of years just basked in the sun in Xu Bai's villa, tearing each other down one after another.The sparrows on the nearby power lines, and the fat orange cats from the neighbor's house squatted on the wall and looked at them curiously, wanting to approach them, but not daring to approach them.

After a long time, Shang Si suddenly asked, "Where's your cook?"

Fu Xitang: "The Pacific Ocean."

"Ask him to say hello to Jiuge, and if I don't mail back the silk thread I asked him to buy, I will pluck all his bird feathers."

Jiuge is the phoenix that went to Kunlun Mountain with Fu Xitang, and has been wandering around all these years, working as a not-so-qualified international purchasing agent.As for whether the cook can meet Jiu Ge, Shang Si doesn't care, anyway, he has issued an ultimatum through various channels, and the next time they meet, the dead bird will definitely turn bald.

"Aren't you afraid that he will sue Lu Zhifei?"

"Fart, have I ever been afraid?" After Shang Si finished speaking, he continued: "Who the hell dares to sue me, I will kill him."

Fear of guilt is a good quality of a big boss.

While drinking tea, Fu Xitang suddenly remembered something and asked, "I heard that there is a night vegetable market run by monsters in the north of the city?"

Shang Si replied: "Yes. After the construction of your Beiguo special train, things from all over the country began to circulate, and there were all kinds of mess."

This is a magical land, whether it is a human or a monster, eating is the ultimate meaning of life.Although the things in the human world are delicious to monsters, all kinds of monster fruits that only monsters can eat, and precious ingredients that grow in various strange and dangerous places are things that cannot be found.

The rise of the demon market is almost an inevitable product of the development of the times.

Foodies like Shang Si and married jealous men like Qu Li are regular customers there.

"I said you don't want to carry a vegetable basket to buy vegetables, do you?" Shang Si asked again.

"I can't go?" Fu Xitang asked back.

Shang Si raised his eyebrows and looked at the noble gentleman, "Just don't let them lay out a red carpet for you."

Fu Xitang declined to comment.

Shang Si stayed for a long time, but was finally called away by his family, Lu Yuanyuan.Fu Xitang sent him to the door, and Shang Si turned around and said, "Remember these four words, seek benevolence and get benevolence, don't be too demanding."

"I know." Fu Xitang said.

So Shang Si waved his hands, stepped on his cool heavy machine, and left.

Fu Xitang looked at his back and stood silently for a while.He knew that the recent Taiping was due to Shang Si's contribution. He beat the nearby monsters, saving Fu Xitang from the trouble of dealing with them after he had to sort out his mood.

Although they may all be out of good intentions and want to come to condolences to him.

But Fu Xitang just wanted to be with Xu Bai for the time being, listening to him chatting about interesting things outside every day, occasionally seeing him acting like a baby, losing his temper, and holding him to watch every sunrise, so that he could calm down.

When Xu Bai came home at night, he collapsed on the sofa after taking a shower as usual, only his mouth kept moaning and calling "Mr. Fu" until Fu Xitang went over and blocked his mouth.

Xu Bai seems to regard Fu Xitang's kiss as his medicine, no matter how tired he is outside, as long as he can kiss his Mr. Fu after returning home, he will feel that tomorrow will be another day full of energy - work hard and take care of Mr. Fu .

During the meal, Xu Bai graciously picked up a piece of beef for Fu Xitang, and asked: "Mr. Fu, you said last time that you, the fourth master and the sixth master are fanciers, and you are the one who covers the trip to Liyuan, right? "

Fu Xitang nodded, "Yes."

"Then teach me. I'm going to start opera class tomorrow morning." Xu Bai read the script carefully. In fact, the parts that require him to sing in the whole play don't exceed 5 minutes in total.But for these 5 minutes, it may take five hours to shoot, and the training time will be even longer. Shen Yun, singing, and demeanor are all indispensable.

He has to practice, not to mention hard work.But if you have a plug-in by your side, you don't have to use it for nothing.

"Peking opera?" Fu Xitang asked.

"No, it's Kunqu Opera "A Dream in the Garden"."

Hearing this, Fu Xitang's memory seemed to be touched, and there was a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.Xu Bai knew that most of the senior fanciers could sing a few lines, but he didn't know what play Fu Xitang was singing.

He was expecting Mr. Fu to show off his singing voice, but Fu Xitang just smiled and said, "I will take you to visit an old friend some other day."

This other day came very quickly, and Fu Xitang only made a phone call to get it done.In the evening of the next day, he went to the training ground to pick up Xu Bai, and after eating, he led them straight to a courtyard house hidden deep in an alley.

In the alley, the jingle of bicycle bells is crisp and sweet, and the beautifully decorated shops are located in it, where the old and the new are shining at the same time.There was a golden birdcage hanging at the gate of that courtyard house. Mynah stood on one foot in the birdcage, looked at the two guests, flapped his wings, and shouted: "Someone is here! Someone is here!"

Xu Bai curiously stretched out his finger to tease it, and after a while, the old wooden door was opened, and there was a creaking sound behind him.

When he turned his head, he saw a tall and thin old man with gray hair but good spirit and temperament coming out of the door quickly, looking at Fu Xitang with excitement.

"Mr. Fu, it's really you, Mr. Fu..." His eyes were a little red, and the hand he stretched out to support Fu Xitang was trembling.

Fu Xitang turned around and supported him, saying: "It's me, I'm back."

The old man nodded repeatedly, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

Only then did he see someone beside him, he nodded shyly at Xu Bai, then stepped aside, and respectfully invited them in.

Walking into the gate, you will see a clean and tidy courtyard with pots of flowers and plants neatly placed in the courtyard.Under a big jujube tree by the well, there is also a small red table and a deck chair.

Xu Bai looked around, and found that the entire courtyard was as clean and tidy as the old man gave him.The old man also seemed to have tidied it up specially, his hair was combed meticulously, and he was wearing a white double-breasted gown. He looked like a scholar.

"Sit down, sit down quickly." The old man brought the tea himself, and Xu Bai wanted to help, but he pushed him down on the small stool with such force that Xu Bai couldn't even stand up.

It was Fu Xitang who spoke, and he finally calmed down, but his hands were still not idle, and he grabbed a handful of colorful fruit candies and put them on a plate, and put them in front of the two of them with a smile for them to eat.

Xu Bai was very appreciative and grabbed one, and then found that this candy seemed to be the same as that in the hands of Ah Yan and Creeper's brother.But Xu Bai hadn't bought this kind of candy outside for many years. He only remembered seeing a glass jar full of this kind of candy on the counter when he went to the grocery store with his mother when he was a child.

The big glass jar is not filled with candies, but the sweet dreams of children.

"Eat." Seeing that Xu Bai took the candy but didn't eat it, the old man smiled and said, "Ah Yan and Mr. Beihai both liked candy the most, and I bought a lot."

Hearing this, Xu Bai opened the candy wrapper and put the candy in his mouth, it was sweet and sour, but still tasted old.

The old man's surname is Zheng. He is over 80 this year and lives alone, but his children are also in Beijing, so they come to visit him from time to time.

Fu Xitang told Xu Bai yesterday that he was actually acquainted with Mr. Zheng's father, who was a famous actor in the Liyuan business at that time, but he died early.Mr. Zheng was raised by him when he was a child. When he left his hometown, Mr. Zheng was no different. It was his first time on stage and he sang "A Dream in the Garden" for him.

Today, the young boy of that year has become a white-haired man.

But Fu Xitang is still the same Fu Xitang, no matter how time goes by, his face is not old.

Even though Mr. Zheng knew the secret of the monster, when he first saw this face, it still seemed like a dream.

At that moment, the sound of gongs and drums, the high stage, and the sound of singing opera seemed to surround him again. After a long time, he still didn't slow down.It's just that my heart was full of emotion, as if my long-cherished wish had been fulfilled, I couldn't speak coherently for a while, I didn't know what to say.

Gathering his mind, he looked at Xu Bai and finally felt that he looked familiar.Fu Xitang had already expressed his interest to him on the phone yesterday, so he simply chatted with Xu Bai about singing.

Xu Bai was the best at pleasing the old man and the old lady, and soon became warm with each other, but left Fu Xitang aside.

Fu Xitang held the teacup and looked at them leisurely, without making a sound, and only commented a few words while Mr. Zheng carefully asked for advice.

Gradually, the sun is setting and the lights are beginning to come on.

In the call of the mynah at the door, "Light up the lights, light up the lights", soft lights were also lit up in the courtyard.Small chandeliers are hung on the trees, and old red lanterns are hung under the eaves. The lights meet the candlelight, dimly illuminating the scenery in the courtyard.

An old radio was placed on a low table, and the tapes were spinning, making a slight rustling sound.The sound of the music flowing from the radio seems to have an old taste smeared by time, which is gentle and melodious.

Xu Bai stood in the courtyard, imitating Mr. Zheng's appearance and learning to walk by hand gestures.One is young and full of vigor, the other is old but has a strong character. The two walked around the field slowly, looking at each other, and the babbling tunes flowed slowly.

"It turns out that the flowers are blooming everywhere,

Like this, it's all ruined.

Good day and beautiful scenery

Whose house is it for pleasure..."

The only spectator here is drinking old tea, tapping the armrest of the chair lightly with his fingertips, amidst the swaying light and shadow, he seems to be waking up from a dream.

Xu Baizhao painted cats, and consciously sang something neither fish nor fowl.However, Mr. Zheng praised him very much and praised him for his talent. Even Fu Xitang applauded him after the end.

"Mr. Fu, are you listening well?" Mr. Zheng looked at Fu Xitang expectantly.

Xu Bai felt that he didn't want an old man in his 80s at all, he was full of energy, and his singing style was still the same.And the way he looked at Fu Xitang at this moment made Xu Bai feel as if time had flown back a lot.

He is more like a fledgling young man, eager to be praised by those in front of him.

Fu Xitang put down his teacup and stood up, smiled slightly, and said, "Listen carefully, you are already better than your father."

Hearing this, Mr. Zheng's eyes suddenly turned red, and he responded repeatedly, "Hey, hey, thanks to Mr. Fu's compliment."

Fu Xitang nodded at him, then looked at Xu Bai: "It's getting late, let's go."

Mr. Zheng sent them out of the door, Xu Bai turned around and asked him not to send them away, he agreed, and gave Xu Bai another handful of candy.It was the fruit candy that Xu Bai had just eaten, red, green and yellow, like the colors of a rainbow.

Xu Bai thanked them, and walked out of the alley slowly with Fu Xitang, and looked back after a long time, old man Zheng was still standing at the door waving to them.

Xu Bai asked Fu Xitang: "Can you still come tomorrow?"

Fu Xitang: "Of course."

In the alley at night, the small bar is filled with intoxicating lights, where men and women take off their daytime disguise and let go here.Another kind of hustle and bustle of the city lives in their hearts.

In the corner, a beautiful girl hurriedly tucked her tail under her skirt, and with a shake of her body, the puffed black skirt returned to its original shape.

She smiled, and laughed and walked away with her companion who came to look for her.

Xu Bai suddenly thought that people like Mr. Zheng might be found in every corner of the city.Fu Xitang has traveled to many places and has many stories in his heart, but Xu Bai doesn't know about them.

"Mr. Fu, can you tell me a story before going to bed later?" Xu Bai said.

"Huh?" Fu Xitang didn't quite understand his little friend's magical brain circuit.

"Mr. Ye said that you used to be an explorer, that's why you have the book "Sesame Illustrated Book", right?"

"Hmm. What do you want to hear?"

"Folk legends, heroes of the rivers and lakes... Do heroes and beauties like you?"

"True or false?"

"Truth."

"Have."

"What about lies?"

"No."

Langli Baitiao was also furious today.
