Starting from the northern mountains and going directly to the southern coast, the time it takes is no less than crossing most of Central Continent.

However, when Si Nuocheng gave up all thoughts of being particular and focused on their journey, they successfully entered "Hulukou", one of the major coastal cities, on the tail end of the third day.

Hulukou, the name sounds like a village, but at its core it is a real city. As the name suggests, its shape is similar to a double circle. The body of the gourd borders the inland, and the mouth of the gourd is located at the port, resembling a floating in the sky.

Treasure gourd on the sea.

Throughout the ages, gourds have the meaning of "good luck". Therefore, Hulukou has attracted big businessmen from all over the world to operate here. Ports have been built, bridges have been opened, and the momentum of development is booming just like its homonym.

Even if the coastal atmosphere has been tense recently and there is a storm approaching, it cannot stop Hulukou from being as prosperous as yesterday.

Prosperity means there are many people. With many people, there is basically no unity. The top is guarding and chasing people like a cat catching a mouse, while the bottom is yawning all day long and letting people go like a dog catching a mouse.

As the saying goes, "If you make a big effort, it will fade again, and then it will be exhausted." The Hulukou is so big, and there are so many vehicles coming and going every day. Even if you can change shifts and conduct detailed inspections, you can't withstand three days of hard work. What's more, not everyone can

Pay attention to the investigation work.

As a result, Si Nuocheng and Ji Si not only successfully found a place to live, but they also had the time to wander around, and even... met unexpected people.

At that time, they were sitting in the most expensive cafe in the city, enjoying the quietness that was almost reserved. The waiter brought cakes and drinks, and then prepared foie gras and lamb chops. When they saw the appearance of the two of them, they were really amazed and surprised, but

It's just a moment.

Excellent professionalism replaced true feelings. They provided the best service and did not comment on the guests at all after they left. Don't look too much, don't think too much, don't listen too much, and don't talk too much. The service of this cafe is indeed worthy of it.

Starting from the most expensive price range.

With a mellow aroma, Si Nuocheng took a sip of the bitter coffee and asked: "There are many coastal cities, why did you choose Hulukou?"

"This is not far from Whale Ferry Port, and it is one of the places with the strongest defensive lines. Whether you are going to sea or traveling, there is a possibility of being interrogated. It's okay for me, but you--"

Si Nuocheng added some sugar and milk to Ji Si's coffee: "Putting 'none of my business' on your scarf obviously means you have no intention of cooperating with the authorities. If someone discovers your abnormality under such circumstances,

You're going to get into a lot of trouble."

After a pause, he added: "However, more than this, I think you will..." wipe them out.

Ji Si smiled and said: "I will not take the initiative to harm others." He sipped the coffee and thought it tasted good. "As for how to lead you to practice under heavy eye contact, where to practice, and what to practice with, that is not a problem."

"Because, the gourd's mouth has already entered the tiger's mouth."

Ji Si picked up the knife and cut the pastry into a simple gourd shape: "The gourd is a lucky thing, it has the effect of guarding the house and warding off evil spirits, and it also has the meaning of attracting good fortune and attracting wealth. Looking at the topography of the gourd mouth, the mouth speaks to the world.

Hu Zhen Bafang, if it is not developed, there will be no natural justice."

"It's just a pity that humans dug a tunnel at the end of the gourd." Ji Si cut the gourd in half with a knife. "The fortune sucked in by the spout flows out along the tunnel and cannot be contained."

"Once the gourd is broken, it can neither absorb luck nor suppress evil spirits. When the wind blows along the tunnel, it will either disperse the evil spirits inland or blow the popular energy to the outer sea. Once it is washed away by the ghost realm, the mouth of the gourd will become nothing.

Unprotected hunting ground.”

Ji Si picked up half a strawberry and destroyed two slices of cake: "They will follow the human taste."

"What do they mean?"

"Ghosts are things that you can understand as 'evil spirits'." As he spoke, Ji Si ate the strawberry. "When encountering ghosts on the coastal defense line, except for the righteousness of the soldiers, guns and the like can't stop them.

Any effect."

In other words, when ordinary people encounter ghosts, they will only end up dead or injured.

"They like to eat humans."

Si Nuocheng: "All monsters like to eat people?"

Ji Si chuckled, but what he said was horrifying: "It's normal for them to like to eat humans. 'Humans' themselves are the best 'vessels'."

"Tool?"

"The heart, spleen, lungs, kidneys and liver are the small five elements; the birth date is the big five elements. The essence of flesh and blood, soul power, and spiritual will. Human beings are full of infinite possibilities, and they are also the favorite food of monsters."

If you want not to become food, you can only polish yourself into a powerful weapon.

Ji Si picked up a piece of foie gras and added: "Although ghosts are difficult to deal with, they are surprisingly suitable for your practice. You just need to walk more at night, and you can..."

Just at this moment, a familiar male voice came to my ears: "Brother Cheng?" The tone of surprise was mixed with a hint of fear, "Why are you here? Is something big going to happen in Hulukou?"

It's Jiang Qining.

Si Nuocheng looked back and Ji Si raised his eyes. Because he couldn't hold back the words, Ji Si almost looked at Jiang Qining and said the second half of the sentence: "I hit a ghost."

Jiang Qining:......

Si Nuocheng:......

Unconscious use of public weapons is the most deadly. Ji Si's heart skipped a beat: Oops, Yan Ling is gone.

Jiang Qining was really unlucky. He bought a yacht and went out to sea, but he encountered a snake. He rarely went out to meet friends, but was struck by a ghost. He probably would bump into a ghost later on when he walked back at night. There is no one with this kind of physique who is not a chieftain.

Si Nuocheng took the words naturally, aimed at Jiang Qining and said, "What you said is like knocking down a ghost."

Unconsciously launched double ghost-hit critical hits! Superimposed!

Ji Si:...Okay, double word spirit.

The high priest looked at Jiang Qining with extremely loving and sympathetic eyes. Unfortunately, the latter didn't feel anything was wrong, and even took over the words and laughed: "Hey, this is not true. Not only did I bump into a ghost, but I also bumped into the most vicious one!"

Ji Si:......

This is the first time he has seen someone who cursed himself. The superposition of three words and spirits will probably lead to bad consequences. However, this oolong incident happened because of him, and this person is quite innocent, and the knot that has been tied must be

Take it easy.

That's all, let's go on a walk with him then.

"Brother Cheng, this one looks so angry, he is..." Jiang Qining looked at Ji Si and felt that there was nothing indecent about him. With this appearance and temperament, he was either the eldest young master with Brother Cheng, or

He is an artistic stylist.

Or... which company wants to become popular in the next quarter?

"He is my friend, Ji Si. He is currently working with me." Si Nuocheng said simply, but he made it clear when he introduced Jiang Qining, "This is Jiang Qining, the youngest son of the ship king of Jingdu Port, who grew up with me."

big."

Their circle has a lot of twists and turns. If Si Nuocheng focuses on introducing Ji Si, it is equivalent to telling people in the circle, "This is a newcomer. You can inquire and follow our rules."

But Si Nuocheng introduced Jiang Qining emphatically, which was equivalent to hinting to his friends, "You can't afford to offend this man. Don't pry around, and follow his rules."

In this way, Jiang Qining realized.

Working together means talking about business, which is not the time for him to interrupt and reminisce about old times. Jiang Qining was very sensible and smiled generously: "I won't disturb you anymore, I'm here to wait for someone."

Jiang Qining was waiting for the handsome mixed-race guy who boarded the yacht together that day.

The purpose of waiting for someone is to hope that the other party can teach him a fighting technique called "explosion with a ton of vodka", so that he will not be so cowardly that he can only play the saxophone the next time he is in danger.

He is a man! He is also a man with dignity and dreams! He doesn't want to do this thing like hiding in the back and playing the saxophone again. A real man should go into battle and fight with a bayonet!

Wait...what seems weird about this sentence?

Not long after, a handsome mixed-race guy wearing a jacket appeared on the scene in the middle of winter. He exchanged greetings with Si Nuocheng, nodded to Ji Si, and stopped disturbing their "business talk". Instead, he sat on the other side with Jiang Qining and began to teach.

"Eighteen Sets of Bear Fighting".

Just as we were talking, the topic got lost.

"My father is from Zhongzhou, and my mother is from Ula. The first time they met was on the outskirts of Qianding City. Just because my father glanced into the woods, he was chased by a bear for half of the forest.

He was sent to my mother."

"My dad said that my mom slapped the bear on the head and said uh-huh, and the bear whimpered and ran away."

"He fell in love with her at first sight, and then was rejected." The handsome mixed-race man said, "My mother told my father that she only likes men who can fight bears. For this reason, my father worked hard on his skills and decided to do it in front of me after half a year.

I fought the bear in front of my mother. He found the bear with great difficulty and jumped on it——"

At this point, not to mention Jiang Qining, even Si Nuocheng and Ji Si pricked up their ears.

"In the end, he was slapped on the ground by the bear, and he didn't even pass a round!" said the handsome mixed-race guy. "My mother couldn't stand it any longer, so that day she made the bear kneel in front of her house with my father and scolded him all night long.

"

Everyone: ...I don’t know why, but I feel that the bear is a bit pitiful.

"Later, they got married and had me a year later." The handsome mixed-race man said in a faint voice, "Not long after I was born, my mother took my feet and soaked me in ice water and brushed me three times. It was Ula's

baptism."

"When you see that I'm not sick, you know that I look like her."

"She had high hopes for me and personally gave me a Chinese name. My dad, not to be outdone, personally gave me a Ulam name. So, I was..."

The handsome mixed-race boy suddenly stopped talking. For a moment, he felt that the dark night outside the window was dangerous. He turned around and saw that the retro clock tower of the building opposite the coffee shop was pointing to 21 o'clock.

It seems a bit late.

"What have you been obsessed with since childhood?" Jiang Qining asked, listening to the story with gusto.

"Say in the car," the handsome mixed-race guy said, "It's time to go back."

"It's only nine o'clock..."

"No, go back." The handsome mixed-race man said firmly, "There seem to be hundreds of brown bears staring at us outside the window."
