Monster Inn Rectification Report - Chapter 35

Seeing Yu Li reacted, Xie Fei couldn’t help feeling a little regretful.

What is the Arctic… Polar bear? Arctic fox? Arctic rabbit? Can’t it be the Arctic shellfish?

As he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a howl, turned his head and saw a woman in her twenties rushing into the police station with her mouth covered.

Xie Feiyuan didn’t take it seriously, but when he passed the gate of the police station, he listened to the uncle of the courtyard and chatted with people: “This is the third incident. How come people always report the disappearance recently.”

Xie Fei looked back subconsciously, and the woman’s back had disappeared behind the office building.

It was a little late for the two to go to the morning market because of the delay for a while.

Fortunately, the things Xie Fei wanted to buy were also highly substitutable. They kept shopping until the morning market dispersed, and shops opened one after another before they bought a lot.

On the way back with three rounds, Xie Fei heard a chronological cry from the street——

“The rattle is spinning and the windmill is turning, and Liuli is drawing the sugar man.”

He followed the sound and saw that he was an old man who sold painted candy, his face was thin, his clothes were thin, he was sitting curled up on a small stool, looking a bit pitiful.

Presumably aware of his gaze, the old man and him looked up and smiled kindly.

“Brother, shall we buy a sugar man?” Xie Fei suddenly proposed.

After a while, he heard Yu Li’s cold reply: “It’s just you.”

Xie Fei translated it by himself as “allowing to pass”. He rode up to the old man and stared at the turntable engraved with the Chinese zodiac and said, “How much does it cost to turn around?”

“Twenty.” The old man squinted and smiled.

“…”

Xie Fei’s hypocritical sympathy disappeared, but he is now a profitable person, twenty is twenty, “Then I will do it again.”

He got out of the car and walked to the turntable. With a flick of his index finger, the pointer made of bamboo spun home.

“I belong to a dragon, let me turn a dragon.” Xie Fei bowed his hands together.

The old man smiled meaningfully, his turntable was secretly equipped with a mechanism, and at most he turned out a time-consuming animal, such as now…

“Oh, it’s a mouse—”

The old man was pretending to be sorry, and saw that the pointer that was about to stop had turned a lot of inexplicably, and abruptly stopped in front of the “Dragon Picture”.

Am I dazzled? ? !

The old man suspected that he had hallucinations, and saw the boy in front of the stall clapping his hands excitedly: “It’s really a dragon!”

“…”

Okay, the dragon is the dragon, anyway, there is no business at this point, at most it will take some time.

The old man took the iron spoon and scooped some thick sugar juice melted by the high temperature, and skillfully poured it back and forth on the marble board, gradually drawing the outline.

Xie Fei has always loved to see the painting of sugar people since he was a child, and staring at him intently at the moment, he suddenly heard a cold snort: “Do you paint a dragon?”

The bearded man was obviously quite unhappy, with a look of disgust: “Will I paint or not, let me come!”

The old man was not angry, but still smiled, “I paint more than twenty.”

“Sure, you start!”

The old man gave in decisively.

Xie Fei looked at the old man again, where there was anything amiable, he was clearly a profiteer. But seeing that Yu Li is full of momentum, he is still expected to perform the face-slapping scene soon. After all, Yu Li has mastered so many folk skills, it is not surprising that he can paint sugar people.

however……

“Mom, why isn’t there a centipede on the plate?” The five or six-year-old boy pointed to the turntable with a confused expression.

The woman dressed as a tourist beside the boy awkwardly glanced at the “painter”, and said with a dry smile: “What centipede? Uncle painted a horse.”

“But there is a need.”

“That’s not a beard, that’s a horse’s mane.”

Following the conversation between the two, Xie Fei watched Yu Li’s movements become more and more stagnant, and finally threw a spoon in anger: “Alright!”

The few tourists watching in front of the stall were silent. Only the old man calmly glued a bamboo stick to the sugar man, then shoveled it up with a piece of iron and handed it to Xie Fei, yelling, “Come on! One dragon!”

Yuli’s face got even worse.

Away from the stall, Xie Fei took the sugar man in one hand and the wheelbarrow. He carefully peeped at Yu Li with his sullen eyes. Before he said a word, the other party asked angrily: “What are you looking at? I have seen the dragon. Or have you seen it?”

Xie Fei thought I’ve seen it too, it’s really not what you painted, but his mouth is very cute: “You.”

Yu Li probably didn’t expect Xie Fei to be so obedient. Instead, he choked. It took a long time to find a thorny point: “Why don’t you eat, are you dissatisfied with my dragon?”

“No, I gave it to me, I can’t bear to eat it.” Xie Fei knows the art of language very well.

Sure enough, Yu Li’s expression slowed down, and his voice became warmer: “Ah, this time there is a little flaw in the painting, you don’t need to confess.”

Xie Fei: “…”

After successfully coaxing Yuli, the atmosphere is very pleasant along the way.

When I arrived at the inn, Xie Fei heard from Concubine Xiang that Lu Xiping, who was in a hurry to return home yesterday, came back, and brought an old lady in a wheelchair, waiting for him in the backyard.

“Old lady?” Xie Fei was taken aback.

Concubine Xiang smiled: “It’s Mr. Lu’s grandmother.”

Xie Fei originally thought that he would see an ailing old man, but he was a little surprised when he saw him.

The old lady in front of me is at least seventy or eighty, but she is very fashionable-her styling hair is dyed silver, her face is well-made, her earlobes are adorned with two delicate pearls, and her body is wearing a delicate rose. The red coat with the buttons on the front does not look like a patient at all, even in a wheelchair.

When the other party saw him, he smiled gracefully: “This is the boss Xiao Xie, really a child of water spirit, thank you for taking care of my family Xiping.”

Xie Fei hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile, “Hello, Grandma Lu.”

“Hello.” The old lady seemed to like him very much, her eyes were close, but when she looked at the bearded man, she was taken aback, and asked after a while: “Did we meet?”

Yu Li shook his head and said quietly, “Good old lady.”

There was a momentary trance in the old lady’s eyes, and she smiled a moment later, “I just think your temperament is a bit familiar, maybe it’s because you’re older, and you remembered it wrong.”

Xie Fei was trying to coax the old lady with a word, when Lu Xiping winked at him, he immediately realized that the other party wanted to chat with him privately, and changed his words: “Grandma Lu, can I borrow your grandson for a while? I want to invite him Do me a favor.”

The old lady smiled and nodded: “Go.”

Xie Fei temporarily handed the old lady to Yu Li, walked out of the backyard with Lu Xiping, found a corner and asked, “Is there anything wrong with Mr. Lu?”

Lu Xiping is rarely serious, “Grandma will be staying at the inn this time, I have to take care of me nearby, can I still have an extra bed?”

“no problem.”

“Can you move downstairs?”

“Isn’t your room bigger?” Lu Xiping moved to the garden early, and especially the local tyrants rented out the most high-end suite.

“Your yard should be cleaner.” Lu Xiping smiled bitterly: “It won’t bother you for too long, at most half a month, maybe just a few days. My room is temporarily let to grandma’s private doctor.”

Xie Fei was taken aback: “What do you mean?”

Lu Xiping subconsciously took out the cigarette, paused for a while and put it back in his pocket, and said as calmly as possible, “Grandma’s time is running out.”

It turned out that Mrs. Lu was nearly 90 years old. She had undergone a major operation two years ago and her health was ill. She suddenly fainted two days ago. The doctor diagnosed her illness as a recurrence. If there is no miracle, it will probably be just a few days. .

“I hope grandma can spend the last days peacefully, my house…” Lu Xiping said with a dark face, and said vaguely, “The house is messy, this time I also picked her up secretly.”

Xie Fei sighed, “Then I will clean up the room first.”

He didn’t know how to comfort Lu Xiping, he was too understatement anyway, and when he went back to talk to Yu Li about this, he unexpectedly heard a gossip.

“Everyone knows that Lu Xiping has a background, but few people know that he is the only grandson of the gambling king.”

“Gambling, betting king?”

“Lu Shengnan.” Yu Li walked to the sofa and sat down, looking up at him: “It’s the old lady you just saw. Lu Xiping and his mother both follow Lu’s surname.”

Xie Fei’s expression “shocked my whole family”, listening to Yu Li’s story as if his soul was out of his body.

Lu Shengnan was abandoned by his patriarchal father when he was very young. After being a vagrancy for several years, by chance, he was appreciated by a big boss and used his own ability to break into a foundation. When she was thirty-eight years old, the casinos under her name had spread all over the country, but Lu Shengnan had suffered too much when she was young, and the children had been very difficult, so she decided to adopt three girls. Unexpectedly, two years later, Lu Shengnan gave birth to a daughter, but she was in poor health since she was born. She left her hands to the west at a young age, leaving only the eight-year-old Lu Xiping.

At that time, Lu Sheng’s male husband died and his daughter was gone. Apart from his huge family property, there was only a blood relative like Lu Xiping, so he was naturally spoiled. In order to accumulate blessings for Lu Xiping, she tried her best to wash away the casino business, and worried that she was too old to take care of the other party for too long, so she deliberately refused to let Lu Xiping participate in the family business, only giving money but not power, in order to comfort several forces. Adult adopted daughter.

Her good intentions have been quite effective. At least the adopted daughters of the Lu family are quite fond of Lu Xiping, but the three of them fought fiercely for power and profit, and the contradiction has long been on the stage.

“It’s no wonder that Mr. Lu would say that the house is messed up.” Xie Fei suddenly realized, and exclaimed: “I didn’t expect Mrs. Lu to be the gambling king. I thought the gambling king should be a man.

“She was really like a tomboy when she was a child, and her temper was very hard.” Yu Li didn’t know what was thinking, and suddenly chuckled: “In the cold winter, someone cut off her thumb and threw it out of the casino, but she was ten years old. But said nothing.”

Xie Fei recalled that Lu Shengnan seemed to be wearing a glove on his right hand. Was it a severed finger?

He felt a faint pain in his finger bones, and noticed that there was something in Yu Li’s words, and asked curiously: “Brother, have you seen her when she was young?”

“I saw that she had a good temper. It would be a shame to die, so I took it home and raised her for two days.” Yu Li raised his chin, triumphantly: “Speaking of which, Lu Xiping should call me grandpa.”

? ? ?

Seeing that Xie Fei’s expression was wrong, Yu Li realized that there was an ambiguity in his words, and suddenly became anxious: “I mean seniority!”

Xie Feixin said that we should call you ancestors by seniority, but I didn’t expect Yu Li and the Lu family to have this connection. It’s no wonder that Yu Li treats Lu Xiping well, at least willing to help with Yu Jincheng.

“Ah! Didn’t Mrs. Lu see you? You are so red now, she should have recognized you? Didn’t it feel strange?” Xie Fei suddenly thought of this question.

“Unrecognizable, at best I think people are similar.”

“But you change into that, she said that your temperament is familiar.”

Yu Li was silent for a moment, “At that time, I was a little different from now.”

“Does Yirong become another face?” Xie Fei guessed.

“Why are you asking so much?” Yu Li suddenly flew suspiciously: “Is today’s fitness plan completed?”

Xie Fei: “…”

Is this only noon? It is too blunt to hide!

Xie Fei was so soft and hard that he escaped the torture temporarily, but he was still dragged to practice hard at night. Fortunately, the next day, Yu Li followed the crew to film the final finale. Before leaving, he didn’t think of installing a monitoring app, which gave Xie Fei a chance to be lazy.

Xie Fei devoted himself to the Christmas renovation business. The inn was not only full of stars, pine cones, lanterns and decorative garlands, but also many small landscapes with Christmas elements.

By December 23, the inn had a brand new look. Xie Fei took a lot of pictures and posted them on Weibo, and made some special arrangements, hoping for the festival.

He is confident that as long as Christmas is over, the reputation of the inn will be improved.

Just as Xie Fei rolled up his sleeves and was about to do a big job, a group of gangsters were having a meeting in an old house in Shaoyang Town.

The only person sitting at the scene was a forty-something man. Unlike the gangsters, he looked like a cultural man in appearance and temperament, but his words were not very elegant: “Fuck! A bunch of rubbish! It’s been so long. I can’t take an inn down, what’s the use of raising you?”

He coldly scanned the shivering bald man before him, and reprimanded with a calm face: “Especially you, let you go to intimidate and threaten, and you get beaten up; if you let you go and let the snake go, you **** bit yourself; let you pretend Arson frightens people, if you are good enough, you can be sent to the bureau by the innkeeper if you step on a spot, and you can be charged with such shame as an exhibitionist. Why are you so capable? You are so talented!”

The bald man who was just picked up from the game was also full of grievances, and he dared to argue: “San, San Ye, that inn is too evil. A woman can beat several men, and even a teenage doll. It was terrifying. And I did throw a snake into their yard. Who knew I was bitten by a bird as soon as I threw it out…”

As for the last accusation, the bald man was really embarrassed, so he could only squat and say: “I might have caught a very rare snake venom…”

San Ye got angry as soon as he saw his awkwardness, grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it on the bald man, “Are you reasonable?!”

The bald man shook his head violently and said that he didn’t dare. San Ye was stuck in his heart and waved his hand tiredly: “I heard the news that the high-speed rail line will be announced soon, not before the Spring Festival at the latest. Once the announcement is made, the house in Xining Village will be Trading is forbidden, you must get this done as soon as possible.”

But the bald man was really scared, “but…”

“But what, I think you hurt!” San Ye interrupted him directly, suddenly startled, and narrowed his eyes dangerously, “If the conspiracy can’t work, then we will come to plot.”

The author has something to say:

Bald man: I obviously have a lot of roles, but I don’t have a name.
