Chengzhong District is the oldest old town in Jiangnan City.

Although the city-building movement lags behind the surrounding new development zones with high-rise buildings in the latest round of city-building, it still has a lot of popularity because of its pleasant scenery and superior location.

Especially several commercial pedestrian streets with their own characteristics, whenever the lights are on, there is crowded with people, the lights are bright and the wine is very lively.

"Heyin Cuisine" is located in the golden location of a pedestrian street called "Pingyang Road". It has a spacious door and an artificial bamboo forest. It forcibly creates a quiet atmosphere in the downtown area, without the slightest meaning of "hidden".

Opposite Heyin Cuisine is Jiangnan No. 1 Department Store, which has a history of 30 to 40 years. When it was built, it was the tallest building in the city. It was a once-deep building, but now it has naturally declined. No matter how it is decorated or renovated, it cannot change the overly cramped pattern, but it is still more than enough to act as a commanding height of three to five hundred meters.

Inside the men's toilet on the fifth floor of the First Department Store.

From here, you can overlook the entire Pingyang Road Pedestrian Street, allowing passers-by and tourists from the south to the north to see clearly.

It's 6:30 p.m.

Li Yao has been standing here for half an hour, and carefully observed nearby shops and abortions with a telescope. He not only wanted to meet the author of "Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation", but also had to determine whether the author lived nearby or far away. It would be best to follow the clues and lock in the author's nest.

As time passed by minute by minute, his eyes became more and more sharp, and he could instantly lock in the different characteristics of hundreds of passers-by and analyze their movement trajectories clearly.

"Teacher Niu, have you arrived?"

After scanning the environment and passers-by, Li Yao sent a message in the name of "Rabbit in the Sea of ​​Stars".

"Here, I just arrived, I was wearing blue, and there was a 'old grandma fried chicken' next to me. You've arrived too?"

Reply to the opposite side.

Li Yao pointed his telescope at a milk tea and fried chicken shop 20 or 30 meters away from Heyin Cuisine.

In addition to a few middle school girls who were buying milk tea, they were even a man who looked like a thin bamboo pole, wearing a wrinkled blue suit.

"Is it him?"

Li Yao observed carefully. This guy seemed to have a newly shaved head and shaved face, but no matter how he dressed up, he could not hide the down-and-down spirit between his eyebrows and eyes. Perhaps because of his years of work at desks, his eyes were a little green, his cheeks were deeply sunken, and his back was slightly arched. He was also bought with a cheap suit, and he was put on his body and put on a plastic bag. A gust of wind could blow him away.

Of course, even if the suit fits, it looks quite awkward. Today is the hottest day since the beginning of summer. The highest temperature is 35 degrees. Apart from real estate agents and insurance sellers, who still wears such a serious suit?

When Li Yao stared at this guy, he was using the dressing mirror of the clothing store next to him to tidy up his dressing, spraying breath freshener and other things into his mouth, and secretly glanced at the middle school girls who were drinking milk tea with the reflection of the mirror.

"It seems that there is no one around."

Li Yao scratched his head. He originally thought that he could write about characters like Yanxibei, Xiao Xuance, Jin Tuyi, Lu Zui, and Boss Bai. The author could be down and down, and sigh, but he always had a little bit of heroic temperament, right?

Now it seems that there is no.

After carefully scanning the surroundings and confirming that no one was following the author, Li Yao sent a message that he "arrive immediately" and got off the elevator.

He squeezed into the crowd again, but was not in a hurry to go up and say hello. The female middle school students were still drinking milk tea, and from time to time burst into laughter. Zhang Daniu kept rubbing beside him, his eyes rolling.

Li Yao took out a "toothpick crossbow" from his arms, which was a toy that children often played with. With the help of the crowd, he shot a toothpick at Zhang Daniu.

The two sides were seven or eight meters away. When the toothpicks were flying over, they had no power. Zhang Daniu was ignorant and screamed until the toothpicks stabbed behind his back. He turned around and rubbed them, not realizing that something was hitting him.

"So, he doesn't have any 'superpower', he's just an ordinary person with very slow perception?"

Li Yao confirmed this and threw the toothpick crossbow into the trash can on the side of the road. Then he stepped forward, patted the other person on the shoulder heavily, and said with a smile: "Hello, Teacher Niu!"

Zhang Daniu suddenly turned around and found that he was a young man he had never seen before. His face turned into surprise: "You are..."

"I am the senior brother of Rabbit, from Jiangnan Normal University. I'm really sorry. It's really a coincidence. Last night, the girls' dormitory in our school were thiefed, which scared the girls very much. They screamed in the middle of the night. Today, the school leaders were furious and the dormitory was very strict. They said that girls were fine and it would be better not to run out tonight!"

Li Yao smiled and said, "So, there is no way. I am the only male member of our science fiction association. Rabbit and others entrust me to be the representative to express their most sincere apology to Teacher Niu. The girls all said that the future is long. I will find a rest day in a few days and come out during the day to talk about literature, science fiction, and life dreams. Don't you mind?"

"ah"

Li Yao saw Zhang Daniu's face, which had just been scraped clean and had a few blades, collapsed little by little, like the ice cubes under the scorching sun, and soon lost its shape. "No, don't mind, of course I don't mind, hahahaha, girls should be careful when they come out at night, there are too many bad people in society now..."

"You can understand, that's great. Rabbit and the others are worried that you will be angry and will not be a guest at our school. I told them, how could Teacher Niu, who could write "Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation", be the kind of petty and petty person?"

Li Yao smiled happily, "Anyway, let's talk first today. I also have a lot of thoughts to discuss with Teacher Niu. Besides, I have all the information about Rabbit and others. What do you want to know? I'm sure you ask me!"

"I, I didn't want to know anything!"

Zhang Daniu said, "I mainly want to understand the development status of your science fiction association and care about the views of contemporary college students on science fiction, dreams and the future. What else can I know?"

"Yes, you said, then we'll talk about this."

Li Yao slapped his head, "I almost forgot to introduce myself. You said that my name was 'Li Yao', who was the same name and surname as the male protagonist in your book. I also like to watch "Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation". Really, I even feel that I am Li Yao in the book, and I have a kind of... the feeling of being connected to my heart is a soulmate!"

"Uh-huh."

Zhang Daniu seemed to have no desire to chat and was dealing with it in a mess.

"Don't just stand, it's so hot."

Li Yao pulled Zhang Daniu and said, "Let's have a meal first, let's have a chat while eating?"

"……OK."

Zhang Daniu replied weakly, then suddenly woke up, "Where are you going?"

"Heyin cuisine!"

Li Yao said, "Rabbit said you asked her to cook at Heyin, didn't you?"

"…Ah, yes, that's it. It's easier to find here at the Heyin cuisine door."

Zhang Daniu glanced at the low-key and luxurious Heyin Cuisine store, his eyes twitched a few times, and said, "But I've had a bit of stomach trouble these two days. It's not suitable for eating these raw and cold things. Do you know that there are parasites in those sashimi? Otherwise, Teacher Niu invites you to eat casserole bones. The century-old restaurant is nearby, and the bones are rotten, which is much better than these sashimi, sushi, etc."

Said it was "just nearby", the two of them walked for more than ten minutes, left the pedestrian street, and came to an old residential area full of fireworks on earth.

Li Yao doesn’t care what to eat, anyway, it’s better to be sure that Zhang Daniu lives nearby.

While walking, he observed carefully. Zhang Daniu held his right hand and deliberately dodged passers-by. His right hand was slightly swollen, and it did look like he was injured.

Zhang Daniu seemed to have eaten a stomach of dust, and his face was always gray and not very good-looking. However, when the steaming hot and the mountain of big bones were served on the table, he seemed to have accepted his fate, and a dry smile appeared on his face again.

"After a thief entered the girls' dormitory, it must have scared the rabbits and the others, right?"

Zhang Daniu smiled and said, "Bunny...her boyfriend must be very anxious, right?"

"The rabbit has no boyfriend."

Li Yao was slightly stunned and immediately replied, "My little junior sister is the kind of girl who has a lot of soul pursuits and her own aesthetic taste. She is unique and transcendent, thinking about the universe, the future, civilization, etc., and ordinary people can see her Dharma eyes?"

"oh……"

There was light in Zhang Daniu's smile.

"Where are you?"

Li Yao took the opportunity to inquire about Zhang Daniu's situation, "Teacher Niu, don't you report to your teacher's wife when you come out for dinner and chat?"

"No, I'm actually single, I've been wandering alone for more than 30 years, where can I get the 'master'?"

Zhang Daniu smiled and said, "Also, Li Yao, I'll give you an opinion. Everyone is a science fiction lover, they are all fellow fellows. Don't be "Teacher Niu" long, "Teacher Niu" short, it sounds like a different seniority. In fact, we are all about the same age. You are all around twenty years old this year, I'm only around thirty years old, and I'm very young, and everyone is a peer. Don't call me "Teacher Niu" anymore, just call me "Brother Niu"!"

“…Brother Niu.”

Li Yao took a deep breath, tried his best to control his expression, and looked at Zhang Daniu's right hand, "Brother Niu, can you drink some alcohol to activate blood, and the injury heals quickly!"

"Well, then drink a little!"

Zhang Daniu waved his hand, "That's right. Don't treat me as a teacher, just as a friend and friend. What can't you talk about and what can't you help with?"

"Yes, Brother Niu, after watching "Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation", you will know that you must be a very generous and casual person. As expected, it is better to meet him than to be famous. Come on, I'll give you a cup first!"

Li Yao was willing to get Zhang Daniu drunk so that he could ask for some key news. Anyway, his body was greatly strengthened, and ordinary alcohol was not enough to numb the nerves. One cup on the left and one on the right, one on the wine for three rounds, and the dishes were five flavors. Under his careful design, Zhang Daniu had already drunk his face and his ears, his legs were shaking, and his speech was a little bit big.

"Brother Niu, can you tell me in detail about your mental journey of creating "Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation"?"
