Third watch

As soon as 07:30 arrived, the alarm clock placed next to the pillow vibrated frantically.

Wang Xiaoming quickly reached out from under the quilt to grab the mobile phone, and retracted under the quilt.

It's time to feed Lord Bai.

Wang Xiaoming stared blankly at the phone screen for a while, and then began to roll wildly on the bed.

Ahhhhhh, what the hell did he do last night? He actually threw himself into Zhong Yi's arms and cried, and he cried because he was afraid of death.

Is there anything more embarrassing in the world than this,

... It seems that there are still some.

Wang Xiaoming desperately remembered what happened when he was possessed by a vixen in Guangxi.

At that time, Zhong Yi's reaction after the incident was very calm, and what happened later made Wang Xiaoming overwhelmed. Subconsciously, he forgot about the things that he had rubbed against Zhong Yi and stretched out his hand to catch him.

Then because the memory of last night was too shameful, I recalled it again.

It’s over.

He has no face.

Or I can say that I have no face to see Zhong Yi... What would Zhong Yi think? Not only does Wang Xiaoming like to catch men Jiji (although he is possessed), but he also cried because of being possessed by a ghost—oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. die!

He could no longer imagine how embarrassing the atmosphere around the two of them would be when they walked out of the room and saw Zhong Yi.

Why don't you get out of bed?

Even if it doesn't feed Master Bai for a while, it can still find food by itself, and now it can also feed Di Ting by the way...

If Lu Xiaolu said it, Zhong Yi would probably (?) take care of him too...

In this case, he just pretended to be sick and didn't get out of bed or go out, so he didn't have to meet Zhong Yi face to face, otherwise he would be ashamed to death the moment he saw Zhong Yi.

While the plan was perfect, he was in a hurry to pee.

I'm going to die.

Bladder is about to explode.

Really going to explode.

……

Wang Xiaoming sneaked out of the room guilty of being a thief, but found that the house was unusually quiet.

Usually, Zhong Yi would punch in the middle of the counter of the stationery store early in the morning, but today he sneaked a glance downstairs, but he didn't see him.

Go to peep the room again.

Lu Xiaolu was sleeping in the dark, and there were only Master Bai and the little white dog on Zhong Yi's bed.

Master Bai seemed to have woken up a long time ago, but half of the little white dog's body was pressed against its tail, making it unable to move.

No wonder I didn't scratch the door today.

Wang Xiaoming looked around furtively, but Zhong Yi was indeed not at home.

Zhong Yi didn't come back until the evening.

Wang Xiaoming has changed from embarrassment to fidgeting.

Lu Xiaolu was not so nervous, Zhong Yi was a young man anyway, and he was capable, so he couldn't be kidnapped on the road anyway.

"It must be something to do when I go out." Lu Xiaolu said to Wang Xiaoming: "I'll be back when I'm done."

"You didn't even leave a note when you went out?" Wang Xiaoming said, "I didn't bring my mobile phone..."

Don't be surprised by his performance last night, run away from home.Wang Xiaoming thought guilty.

"Master is not a person who likes to leave notes, let's eat first." Lu Xiaolu said bitterly.

I lived with Wang Xiaoming for four years, and I didn't realize that Wang Xiaoming was so particular about table manners. He had to wait for Zhong Yi to come back before eating—although he couldn't see what time it was, he was still very awake.

Wang Xiaoming circled the table: "It's still early, wait another 10 minutes—" It's only 9 o'clock now.

Recently, the front and back doors of the Guangming Stationery Store were not open, so they set up a table to eat in the store. Now that it was dark, Wang Xiaoming didn't open the door easily, so he closed the store and waited.

Just as Lu Xiaolu was about to protest, there was a knock on the door.

Wang Xiaoming jumped up and was about to open the door, but stopped.

It's not that he is sensitive, but that he has suffered a lot recently——

"Who is it?" Wang Xiaoming asked.

There was silence outside the door.

Wang Xiaoming and Lu Xiaolu also fell silent.

"Who's knocking?" Wang Xiaoming asked again, slipping his right hand into his pocket quietly.

Recently, he never leaves the canopy ruler for a moment, so he dismantles the folding stick at home, and uses the canopy ruler as a mobile phone in his pocket at all times.

Although it's at the front door, it's already night, who knows...

There was still silence outside the door, Wang Xiaoming stared at the door lock, thinking about whether to invite another door god, Ye Xun's voice rang out lazily outside the door: "It's me, Ye Xun."

Ye Xun's decision to join the gang had already been made in Guangxi, but at that time Ye Xun got into the trap of Gu Bicai and had to go home to receive the board first, so he came two days late.

Although Zhong Yi said that Ye Xun had indirectly activated the Three Ghosts this time, he would definitely suffer a severe meal when he returned, but Wang Xiaoming looked left and right, and Ye Xun looked very glamorous, and he didn't look like he had just suffered. look.

Ye Xun squeezed through the door, unceremoniously put a huge backpack on the counter, and sat down at the table very naturally: "Do you want to eat?"

Wang Xiaoming: "...What is this big bag?"

"Equipment." Ye Xun said: "If you want to save someone, you must be fully prepared."

The corner of Wang Xiaoming's mouth twitched.

Although Ye Xun and Zhong Yi have a classic pretentious style, and the other has the world's most ostentatious style, but they have the same aesthetics in terms of the huge backpack.

Ye Xun seemed to know what Wang Xiaoming was thinking: "You don't think we're going on an outing, just take a mobile phone and a sandwich?"

"I just think you should have a more ... convenient way." Wang Xiaoming said.

"What way? Cosmos bag? Or portable space?" Ye Xun laughed: "I want one, where can I find it?"

"Subduing demons and eliminating demons can also be integrated with high technology." Lu Xiaolu interrupted: "I think Master has a great future in this area. He used the principle of the Swiss Army Knife to make a portable yellow talisman ejector..."

"That's the method Lu Banmen loves to use. Even so, their tools are just too many." Ye Xun said: "Especially since we are all fighting alone, naturally we should be more cautious."

"Fight alone?" Wang Xiaoming blinked his eyes: "I wanted to ask a long time ago. You and Zhong Yi should be different from my family. There are many talents in the family. Why are you two only looking for someone?"

Ye Xun didn't know, but Zhong Yi lost his grandfather Zhong Tieniu, why Zhong Yi would rather go all the way to look for him than organize a search with his father, uncle and uncle at home?

Could it be that the Zhong family and the Ye family are the same as his family, they are both grandfathers and grandchildren, and there are only two in the family?

"Who said we are the only ones looking for it?" Ye Xun's phoenix eyes glanced at Wang Xiaoming and Lu Xiaolu: "The missing are all the elders. Although they don't show it on the surface, no one even dares to say that they are indeed missing, but they are really missing. Anyone who has something is looking for it.”

Wang Xiaoming frowned: "Then you—"

"You don't understand." Ye Xun said, "I was not sure that Zhong Tieniu was really missing until Zhong Yi admitted it himself. Although there are occasional messages now, basically these messages are still tightly suppressed—some People know it but don't believe it, and some people believe it but don't want anyone to know."

Lu Xiaolu said: "Why? It's just that my dog ​​has disappeared, and my family can't wait for every telephone pole to have a dog hunting notice."

Ye Xun asked him: "Can your dog decide who in the family can't be surnamed Lu?"

Lu Xiaolu: "..."

Wang Xiaoming understood a little bit: "Because the one who is missing is the head of the family, how can one move affect the whole body?"

Ye Xun said: "Especially the Luban family. Zhong Tieniu started preparing to retire two years ago, and everyone is staring at who is the next person to go up from the Zhong family. If Zhong Tieniu is here, naturally he has the final say .but……"

If Zhong Tieniu is not there, there will be more room to play.

"It is said that Zhong Yi is Zhong Tieniu's most important grandson, but...you know, Zhong Yi wasn't originally surnamed Zhong?" Ye Xun raised his lips.

Lu Xiaolu: "?!"

Wang Xiaoming was silent.

"It seems you know." Ye Xun looked at Wang Xiaoming.

Wang Xiaoming actually didn't know, he was just not surprised.

Only Lu Xiaolu didn't know. Lubanshu is known as "a lack of one". From the beginning of practice, one can choose one of widowed, widowed, lonely, lonely, and handicapped.

Under such conditions, it is impossible to develop today's Lubanmen to its present scale with the blood of the Zhong family alone.

"Actually, there's nothing strange about this. Zhong Tieniu's surname is not Zhong, but a disciple with a foreign surname. Only in this way can the thin blood of the Zhong family be passed down." Ye Xun said: "No matter which Taoism The Shu family is the same, speaking with strength. However, many people who are "born" with the surname Zhong believe that at least the position of parent should be filled by the real Zhong family."

The disappearance of Zhong Tieniu is undoubtedly a turning point.

And Zhong Yi, who was most valued by Zhong Tieniu before, undoubtedly stood in the most prominent position.

If Lubanmen is sure that Zhong Tieniu will not come back, then Zhong Yi is most likely to become a victim of Lubanmen's change.

There must be people who support Zhong Tieniu and Zhong Yi, but in this case, Zhong Yi only chose Lord Bai.

Wang Xiaoming remembered that on the first day Zhong Yi came to Guangming Stationery Store, he asked the same question himself.

Such a Luban family, why did Zhong Yi only bring a cat out to find his grandfather?

At that time, Zhong Yi didn't answer him, was it because Zhong Yi at that time didn't believe anyone?

Ye Xun said: "The Ye family doesn't have this kind of problem, but there are quite a few guys who are very annoying. They always think that others are responsible for their uselessness. This mentality is exactly the same as those surnamed Zhong..."

"Are you here to gossip?" Zhong Yi didn't know when he appeared at the door, looking at Ye Xun expressionlessly.

Ye Xun said: "In the first place, those surnamed Zhong—"

"My surname is also Zhong." Zhong Yi said as he entered the door, and he was carrying a large bag of things behind him.

"Including you." Ye Xun rolled his eyes.

"Where have you been?" Wang Xiaoming dragged another chair.

"Shopping." Zhong Yi put down his things, looked at Ye Xun and frowned: "What are you doing?"

There were only three sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table, Wang Xiaoming and Lu Xiaolu just listened to it, but Ye Xun was the only one who took a set of tableware familiarly and ate the food.

Three sets of tableware, the blue clock is easy to use, the green one is for Wang Xiaoming, and the small dot is for Lu Xiaolu.

And what Ye Xun took was blue.

Seeing that Zhong Yi's expression was not right, Wang Xiaoming knew that Master Zhong was going to have a fit again, so he had to bring out another set of white porcelain bowls and chopsticks used by Wang Dazhuang.

Ye Xun and Zhong Yi were used to being at odds, and seeing Zhong Yi's dead face didn't affect his appetite in the slightest, he ate the food in two or three, and then smiled at Zhong Yi hatefully.

Wang Xiaoming immediately pushed the porcelain bowl in front of Zhong Yi.

Zhong Yi reluctantly ignored Wang Xiaoming's actions.

Wang Xiaoming: "..."

Damn, what does it matter to him that they pinch each other?

Zhong Yi and Ye Xun stared at each other for half a minute before sitting down and grabbing the green bowl: "Throw away that set later, it will be contagious."
