A Real Man Isn't Afraid Of A Little Demon

Yu Chu had no choice but to go to the kitchen, looked left and right, put the phone on the knife holder next to the gas stove, and after making sure that the frying pan and cutting board appeared in the camera, wiped up his sleeves and was ready to start.

"Wait." Xie Xingmu's voice came from the phone, "Where's the apron?"

"Apron?" Yu Chu stopped wiping his sleeves.

"That's what I wear."

The screen on the opposite side began to shake, and the words Yu Chu started to see the pink cat and Tiantian Supermarket appeared.

"I know the apron, but I don't have one." Yu Chu explained.

"Then pay attention, try not to let the oil stars splash on your body, next time you go to the supermarket, you can buy an apron and gloves, it is best to buy some disposable shower caps, wear them on your head when cooking, and will not be contaminated Soot."

Under Xie Xingmu's command, Yu Chu started to stir-fry vegetables with a spatula, and everything went in an orderly manner.

"The oil is not hot yet, wait a little longer... Now pour in the diced meat... Stir-fry a few more times, have you mixed the seasoning in the diced meat... Then sprinkle an appropriate amount of salt... Don't you know the right amount? It's just a spoonful... ...the spoon in the spice jar, of course!"

After putting all the dishes on the plate, Yu Chu wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked up a piece of diced meat and fed it to his mouth, then brought it to the phone: "Do you want to try it?"

Xie Xingmu looked into his bright eyes, and suddenly pressed down the phone, so that the camera was aimed at the kitty cat on the apron, and he smiled at a place where Yu Chu couldn't see, and said, "Not interested."

After speaking, I hung up the video call.

He put away his phone and was about to go out for dinner, but he paused as soon as he turned around, Duoduo had already got off the table at some point, and stood beside the cooking table staring at him.

Duoduo asked curiously: "Uncle, who are you talking to?"

Xie Xingmu said, "It's my colleague."

"Oh, what are you talking about?"

"We're talking about work." Xie Xingmu took off the apron around his waist and hung it on the shelf.

Duoduo said: "But I seem to hear you talking about fried diced beef." He bit the spoon in his hand and added: "I want to eat fried diced beef."

"Didn't you make your favorite cola chicken wings today?" Xie Xingmu said.

Duoduo said, "I want to eat fried diced beef now."

Xie Xingmu picked him up with one hand, tucked him under his arm, walked to the dining table, put him on the chair and finished it: "I don't have fried diced beef today, I'll make it tomorrow, and eat this bowl of rice now."

Duoduo picked up a spoonful of tomatoes and eggs with a spoon, and said, "This is fried diced beef." After finishing speaking, he fed it into his mouth with a whimper, and said while chewing, "It's delicious." He took another spoonful and mixed it with soup Feeding rice grains with juice into his mouth, he said vaguely, "This is also stir-fried diced beef."

Xie Xingmu shook his head, and began to eat the bowl of rice in front of him.

At night, Yu Chu closed her eyes and lay on the bed in her new bedroom, listening to the sounds around her.

The sound insulation of this building is not good. Whoever flushes the toilet in the middle of the night, whose baby suddenly cries is very clear, and there will always be heavy footsteps in the corridor, which means that people from the night shift are returning home.

His sleep has not been very good, only those nights when he and Zhou Mu shared a room on the island, he slept very deeply.

I don't know when I fell asleep in a daze, and I was dreaming in the second half of the night, falling off the cliff for a while, falling endlessly in the air, and dandelions flying all over the sky for a while, and I couldn't see the sky above my head clearly...

When he finally woke up, it was already broad daylight. He blinked, lay on the bed for a while, and then turned over and got up to wash.

During the whole day, he stayed in the house and watched TV dramas. When he was hungry, he would stir fry the leftovers from yesterday, pour them into a large plate after frying, and eat while watching TV.

It wasn't until the sun went down that he was ready to go out for a walk and find a job by the way.

He stood in front of the mirror in the small bathroom and looked at himself, thinking that this white short-sleeved T-shirt might not be suitable.The shirt and trousers he wore when he fell off the cliff were still there, he found the paper bag Xie Xingmu gave him, and turned it out from the inside.

The fabric of this suit is good, and it is fine after being soaked in water, but it has not been ironed, and it is a little wrinkled.He spread the shirt on the coffee table, went to boil a pot of boiling water, poured it into a glass and used it as an iron.

After ironing the shirt, he followed the same pattern and ironed the trousers. After changing into a whole set, Yushu stepped out of the house.

There were a few shirtless people sitting in the flower bed outside the building. When they saw Yu Chu, they stopped talking and fixed their eyes on him.

Yu Chu knew that although his current face could be described as beautiful, it was still too harmless and docile.Relying on his chameleon-like instinct, he has already realized that if he puts on this face, it will be more favorable to others to pretend to be good, so he restrains the charm exuding from his gestures and gestures.

It's just that he doesn't know that in those inadvertent frowns and smiles or turning around, there will suddenly be something that makes his heart beat faster in the corners of his brows and eyes.

Ignoring those staring eyes, he walked through the small yard and down the narrow and rugged alleyway.

As for finding a job, he neither planned to go to school nor to go to training courses, but had his own plans.

He casually entered a restaurant for dinner, and the proprietress sat behind the cash register to sort out today's bills and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Yu Chu looked at the cookbook hanging on the wall: "Let's have beef noodles."

"The beef is sold out."

"What about the mixed sauce noodles?"

"The miscellaneous sauce is also sold out." The proprietress said without raising her head, "We are going to close today."

Yu Chu asked: "Then what else can I eat?"

"There are still custard buns left." The proprietress said.

Custard bun?Yu Chu frowned.

He never ate sweet buns, and they were sweet buns with a milk flavor, so he left after hearing this, bought a piece of meat pie in a nearby shop, and walked down the street while eating.

The meatloaf was very oily, and the paper bag wrapped in it was soaked with oil. After eating half of it, he looked around and saw a trash can not far away, so he put the rest of the cake on the lid of the trash can. .

He was waiting for the bus at the nearby bus stop. He glanced over the trash can just now, and saw a cleaner throwing his paper bag containing cakes into the trash can.

Just as Yu Chu was about to open his mouth, he closed it again.

The bus entered the station slowly, Yu Chu got on the bus, got off at a certain platform half an hour later, walked forward for a while, and turned to a street on the left.

There are bars on both sides of this street. The moment the door is opened and closed, you can hear the sound of loud music, and the people on the street are also dressed in fashion.

The city's nightlife is about to begin.

Yu Chu picked a house at random, but just before entering the gate, he was stopped by two strong men in black vests with tattoos all over their arms: "Wait a minute, minors are not allowed to enter."

"I'm an adult," Yu Chu said.

The two strong men remained unmoved and did not let them go.

Yu Chu didn't want to show them the documents, but took out four banknotes, rolled them into two small rolls, put them in the vests on their chests, and pressed them with their hands.

A strong man shook his head at the door and made a gesture to go in.

The music in the bar was loud. Although it was still early, there were already many people sitting in the booths, and there were also people on the dance floor writhing to the music.

Yu Chu looked around, walked to the bar and sat down, snapped his fingers, and said to the bartender who bowed his head, "What wine do you recommend?"

The bartender looked up at him and said, "Milk to juice."

A few guests who were drinking were sitting next to them. When they heard this, they all looked at Yu Chu and laughed.

Yu Chu was not angry, and said with a smile: "Then give me a glass of milk and juice."

The bartender put down the things in his hands and said seriously: "If our store sells alcohol to minors, if it is reported, it will be fined, and if it is serious, it will be closed for rectification." After finishing speaking, he ordered a bar clerk next to him, "Go to the door to see Daqiang and the others, why did they let the students in?"

Yu Chu said helplessly: "I'm an adult, don't be afraid." After speaking, he stretched out a leg to block the way of the bar staff, "Don't go, I'm not a student, but an adult."

The barman stopped and turned to look at the bartender, a little unsure.During the stalemate, Yu Chu saw a box of poker on the left side of the bar, reached out and took it, slowly pulled out the cards inside, handed it to the bartender, and said, "shuffle it."

The bartender didn't understand what he wanted to do, so he didn't move. A drinking guest beside him said with great interest, "Let me do it."

This was a middle-aged guest in a casual suit. Yu Chu smiled at him, turned his hand around, and asked him to take the whole stack of playing cards.

The guest shuffled the playing cards back and forth three times, and then handed them back to Yu Chu. After Yu Chu took them, he put the cards face down, quickly folded them in his hands, and then shuffled them twice.

His thin white fingers flicked quickly, and his movements were extremely skillful. During the whole process, he only looked at the bartender.

After shuffling the cards, he handed the flipped playing cards to the guests again, and said, "Draw four at random."

The middle-aged guest smiled, and sure enough, he drew any four of them and placed them on the bar counter.

Yu Chu twisted the left one, flipped it up gently, it was an Ace of Hearts, he flipped over the next one, Ace of Spades, continued flipping, Ace of Clubs, when he flipped over the last one, the A of Diamonds also appeared When they were at the bar, the two onlookers wowed, put down their glasses and started applauding.

The middle-aged guest also smiled and applauded, saying, "Not bad, interesting."

Yu Chu put away the playing cards, frowned and smiled at the bartender, "Do you believe I'm an adult now?"

The bartender bowed slightly: "Sir, I think you recommend Misty Forest. It tastes sour and sweet, with the refreshing fruity aroma of green plum wine. You will definitely like it."

"Okay, let's have a cup of Misty Forest." Yu Chu said.

"This glass of wine is my treat." The middle-aged guest who started to shuffle Yu Chu's cards suddenly interjected.

Yu Chu turned her head and nodded slightly to him: "Thank you."

The bartender quickly put a glass of mixed wine in front of Yu Chu, and continued to work on his own business. Yu Chu picked up the glass and drank slowly, then turned to look at the people on the dance floor.

"Little brother, I think you are very good at playing cards. Are you interested in helping me play a few hands? If you win by [-] points, I will lose." After the middle-aged man drank the wine in his hand, he still did not leave. Instead, he started talking to Yu Chu.

Yu Chu turned to look at him, and said indifferently, "Whatever you want."

The middle-aged man put the empty wine glass on the table and winked at him meaningfully: "Okay, then go to the private room upstairs and make a fortune."

Yu Chu used to run errands for the boss of the casino. In addition to being familiar with all the rules of the casino, he also practiced good gambling skills.There are often bosses in the casino who are jealous of losing money. They know the way, but they don’t have the skills to get it back. They will invite some people with high gambling skills to help them gamble. After winning the money, they will pay the corresponding rewards.

In fact, the first time he entered the bar, he took a quick look at the people inside, and locked his target on the middle-aged man next to the bar.

Wearing a high-end suit in a bar, not for dancing, and not taking a second look at the handsome men and women passing by, not for an affair.This kind of bar usually has an underground casino. Seeing his unlucky face with frustration, he should have just lost money and came out for a drink or two.

It turns out he was right.

At one o'clock in the middle of the night, the door of the bar was pushed open, and Yu Chu came out, followed by a middle-aged man with a red face.

"I'll send someone to take you back. It's three o'clock and it's not easy to take a taxi." After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man handed Yu Chu a black plastic bag containing [-] cash in it. Not safe."

Yu Chu stopped trying to evade, and said, "Then thank you brother."

"Hey, why are you being polite to me?"

Saying goodbye to the middle-aged man, Yu Chu followed two tall security guards to the parking lot. It is already late at night, even though this is an entertainment street, many bars are closed, and only some barbecue stalls are still open. Occasionally, drunken people can be seen staggering on the street.

The parking lot was on the ground floor of the shopping mall next door, and the exit was in the other direction. Yu Chu took the elevator down to the basement floor with two security guards.

"No. 23, Area B." A security guard looked for the parking space given by Brother Cheng, and another security guard came down to accompany Yu Chu, waiting for someone to drive the car over.

There was no one in the huge parking lot, it was empty and quiet. Standing next to the security guard, Yu Chu remembered that when he started to check the time, there were two unread messages on WeChat, so he took out his phone and clicked on it.

As expected, the message was indeed sent by Xie Xingmu.

Xie Xingmu: Where is it?

Xie Xingmu: What are you doing?

One was sent after 11 o'clock in the evening, and the other was sent at 1 o'clock in the morning. Yu Chu wondered what this person was doing sending her a message so late, and hesitated whether to reply now.

As soon as his finger touched the input interface, he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the depths of the parking lot.

He followed the prestige and found that it was the direction where the security guard left. He paused for a second, then quickly turned his head to look behind him.

Under the pale overhead light, I could see a few black figures walking slowly. Although they couldn't see their faces clearly, they all held a long iron rod in their hands.

The security guard next to him was still staring at the direction his companion was driving, muttering why he hadn't come yet, Yu Chu looked at those people, and asked in a low voice, "Did you bring any weapons?"

"Ah, what?" The security guard asked back without knowing why, and he reacted instantly, and turned his head to look behind him, then pulled out a rubber stick on the back of his waist, and shouted vigilantly: "Hey, stop, who are you?" ?”

After those people heard the question, not only did they not stop, but they raised the iron bars in their hands and rushed towards this side.Seeing that the security guard was already dumbfounded, Yu Chu stood there motionless, said in a low voice, "Run," and rushed out towards the depths of the garage.

The security guard quickly hugged the rubber stick, and ran in another direction like a rabbit.

This underground parking lot has a large area. After Yu Chu ran forward for a while, hearing the sound of footsteps getting closer behind him, he suddenly got into the gap between the two cars, and leaned forward behind his body. go ahead.

Crackling footsteps chased after him, Yu Chu looked out the rear window of a car, and saw only four people coming, and the others went after the security guard.

The four of them slowed down, the three of them walked along the driveway, and one of them walked towards Yu Chu.

Yu Chu squatted down, stuffed the plastic bag with money in her hand under the car, looked around, picked up a thick hemp rope and held it in her hand.

The rustling footsteps were getting closer, and he looked at the figure on the ground on the left with his eyes, and moved to the right calmly.

The thug with a stick in both hands looked around vigilantly, and squatted down to look at the underside of the cars on both sides. Just as he tiptoed around to the back of an off-road vehicle, he suddenly glanced at the window glass beside him. He came on the roof of the car behind him.

The thug's pupils dilated at the moment, but before he could turn around, his neck was severely strangled by the rope, and at the same time the iron rod in his hand was kicked away, and fell into a stack of cardboard boxes behind, with only a slight muffled sound.

Yu Chu half-kneeled on the roof of the car, wrapped the rope around the man's neck, then quickly slid down the other end of the car, pulled the rope on his shoulders with both hands, and used the roof of the car as a fulcrum to pull forward.

All this happened in just a short time, and the thug was already strangled outside the car door. His face was flushed, veins appeared on his forehead, and his hands were desperately pulling the thick rope around his neck.

Yu Chu gritted her teeth hard, her thin wrists tightened to the extreme.

The thugs struggled to kick the car door with their feet, making a bang sound. When the two thugs who had already walked away heard the movement, they immediately turned around and ran towards this side.

Only then did Yu Chu let go of the rope, and quickly ran to the exit of the parking lot. When passing by the stack of cardboard boxes, he held the iron rod in his hand.

The three thugs had already rushed over, and when they passed by the strangled thug who passed out, they didn't stop in their footsteps, and chased directly in the direction of Yu Chu.

Yu Chu ran desperately towards the end of the driveway, but the footsteps behind him were still getting closer and closer. Seeing that there was still a passage dozens of meters ahead, he knew that he must not be able to run behind the people behind him, so he suddenly turned and turned to the next driveway.

It was the driveway to the second floor, and it was a winding and winding downhill. He quickly ran through the downhill, and then hid behind the wall at the end of the road.

The person chasing behind him turned down the circular slope, and after not seeing Yu Chu, he also slowed down and walked slowly towards the parking lot lobby.

Yu Chu leaned against the wall, tried her best to hold her breath, clenched the iron rod with both hands, with a look of cruelty on her face.

He had already made up his mind about the route he was going to run next, and was going to knock down one first, then rush to the pile of parked vehicles, hide inside, and follow the opportunity to deal with the rest one by one.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Yu Chu could hear their deliberately light footsteps and heavy breathing.

He slowly raised the iron rod, looking at the gradually enlarged figure in front of the ground...

"Don't move! Raise your hands!"

Suddenly, there was a loud shout like thunder on the ground, and it exploded in the entire parking lot, and several lights shot in, illuminating the passage beside Yu Chu brightly.

The author has something to say: Captain Xie will bring the cat home to raise, but it still needs an opportunity, so it will be soon.
