Chapter 45
He is a baby
Ji Que, whose marriage has not been canceled for the time being, would be lying if he said he didn't feel any frustration at all.
Just because he has been in bad luck all year round, his ability to resist and resolve frustration is a little bit higher than that of ordinary people.
There is nothing that good food cannot solve. If one meal is not enough, then have two meals.
As a result, after Ji Que's meal, he ate and drank many meals.
There is no way, there are too many delicious foods in Tianren City today.
Overlord crab shell, Huoyun beef tenderloin fried rice, Hanhu vinegar fish, red oil goose web, steamed cured meat, Qiansi tripe strips.
In short, in addition to the Qiankun roast goose that Chen Zhu was waiting for, Ji Que tried all the other famous dishes one by one.
The most important thing is that the dishes here are not only delicious and diverse, but the service is also first-rate.
Wang's Overlord Crab Armor Restaurant, the most visited restaurant in the city, even has a dedicated lady on hand to help remove the armor.
The ladies are all young and beautiful. They are dressed very lightly in the cold weather, revealing their fair skin and enchanting looks.
If it weren't for the fact that there was crab meat on the plate and they were taking off their armor in a serious manner, Ji Que thought for a while that he was in the wrong place.
If you bring children to eat, there will be someone in the store to help you take care of the children. If it is your birthday to eat here, that would be great. The store will send out enchanting young girls to dance and make noodles for you to celebrate.
, full of ritual feeling.
All in all, this is the store with the most attentive service Ji Que has ever seen.
It's a bit ridiculously thoughtful.
Of course, the fees are relatively the most expensive.
In the past few days, Ji Que, who had been saving money before, seemed to be showing off his money and spent money lavishly.
Not only did he eat and drink wildly every day, he even had the guts to stay in a hotel room with a special name.
Why don't you live in Tianzihao? It's because dogs are not brave enough.
The bet is hedging and the whoring is in vain. As long as the inn is comfortable, it is enough. After all, eating is the most cost-effective option.
Ji Que these days is really like a mouse falling into a rice vat, eating and drinking, drunk and dreaming.
The failed scholar, the failed divorce, the sesame seed cakes, and the fiancée were all forgotten by him.
One morning about ten days later, Ji Que suddenly woke up in the inn and discovered something terrible.
The people are still there, but the money is gone.
It's fun to show it off, but it costs money.
Ji Que made some calculations, and found that in just thirteen days, almost half of his 750 taels of savings were lost in one go.
If he continued like this, he might not be able to afford to stay in the inn in less than a month.
So on that day, Ji Que lowered the standard of land font size to herringbone house.
"Ji Que, Ji Que, you have to save some food today."
Ji Que was thinking like this, and ended up having another meal of seven taels of silver crab shells at noon. The person who helped him with the crab shells was the beautiful Sister Chen.
"Ji Que, Ji Que, this is the last good meal. I have decided that I will only eat a bowl of noodles tomorrow." Ji Que said fiercely when he left the restaurant.
The next day, he ate cold lake vinegar fish worth five taels of silver.
No way, it's hard to come across such fresh and lively fish just transported from Han Lake.
After Ji Que finished eating the fish, he made a very determined decision not to eat anything tomorrow.
As a result, the next day, he had a meal of roasted pig's trotters and stopped by the Demon-Jiang Building. He wanted to cash in on the Qiankun roast goose with Chen Zhu, and also to see if there was any cheap accommodation.
The money in this inn should be saved and spent wisely, such as having another meal of Huoyun fried rice.
Ji Que always thought that with so many people in Ren City today, there must be many people who want to rob him and steal him. Sooner or later, he will be able to come back after all his money is gone.
But what was unlucky was that among the four waves of pickpockets he encountered in the past ten days, except for making some money on the first day, the other three waves were surprisingly poor and did not receive any righteous reward.
Only then did Ji Que come to his senses and feel a little panicked.
This sense of panic is the same as in my previous life when I suddenly lost my job just after I had taken on a 30-year mortgage, and then I couldn't find a job during the economic crisis.
He underestimated the viciousness of his misfortune.
When a person is particularly unlucky, even the thief who stole from him will be extremely poor.
What's even more frightening is that he found that he was going bankrupt because he hadn't even finished a third of the delicacies he was interested in in Tianren City, let alone a lot of things he wanted to eat again.
Ji Que has begun to think about whether to go to the Demon-Conquering Building to get some part-time job to support his life.
Alas, it is not easy to gain a foothold in a big city.
This branch of the Demon-Conquering Tower is located in a bamboo forest on the outskirts of Tianren City. Compared with the hustle and bustle of the city, it is very quiet and even a little deep, giving people the illusion of entering another world.
Deep in the bamboo forest, a seven-story tower stands there.
The shape of the tower is very simple, but very eye-catching.
That's in the sub-building of the Demon-Conquering Building.
The main building of the Demon-Conquering Building is in the south, but this sub-building in Tianren City is not small in size. In addition to the seven-story Demon-Conquering Building, there are also several courtyard houses.
Ji Que got closer and saw a sentence engraved on a huge stone at the door of the building with a sword-like stroke - "Awakening from the suffering of the world, the chivalrous spirit is still there."
Seeing this sentence, he couldn't help but think of old monk Lingyu, brother and sister Chen Zhu, and his handsome self.
There were no strict guards in the Demon-Conquering Building, so Ji Que entered the building smoothly.
After some inquiring, I found out that neither the old monk Lingyu nor the brothers and sisters Chen Zhu were there, and I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
At this moment, there were about a dozen people standing sparsely in the hall on the first floor of the Demon-Conquering Tower, most of them lingering around the reward list for discussion.
It can be seen that the old monk Lingyu and the brother and sister Chen Zhu are quite famous here. When he said that everyone knew them, he also felt that the people here were not too cold towards them.
It can be seen from the fact that he asked some questions and they answered them in a rather cold and perfunctory manner, and they quickly went off to do their own business.
So until now, except for the two female demon conquerors who were still peeking at him, no one in the entire building paid attention to him.
Ji Que felt that they did not take him seriously, which showed that he, the nominal friend of Master Lingyu, had little weight.
In the end, Ji Que could only walk towards one of the female demon conquerors who looked at him secretly and looked pretty good.
The female demon conqueror was about twenty years old and older than him. At first she wanted to make fun of him, but she soon became serious again.
It wasn't until he finished asking the question that Ji Que discovered that behind the female demon conqueror, a man was staring at him with a sinister look on his face.
He looked like he had robbed his wife, and the atmosphere was a little tense and awkward for a moment.
At this time, the female demon conqueror walked up to the man and whispered: "Mr. sir, why are you looking so grim? That little husband just asked me a few questions."
Ah, this woman is really his wife.
However, I really only asked a few questions. This guy doesn’t need to do this, right?
"What's the problem?" the man asked seriously.
"Oh, that little husband is just a young boy, so I need to ask someone for advice." The female demon conqueror explained.
Overhearing this, Ji Que, who was drinking water to cover up his embarrassment, almost spit the water out of his nose.
Sister, how do you explain this so that it makes people think about it?
At this time, the man's face turned green and asked: "He is a young man who comes to ask you? There are so many people here, why did he come to ask you?"
The female demon conqueror was obviously a little angry and said: "Who knows why he is looking for me? Am I good-looking? You are just suspicious and deliberately looking for trouble!"
"I think you must have done something shameful secretly."
"What a shameful thing! Please explain clearly."
"You just like pretty boys!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
As they talked, the two started to quarrel.
Before Ji Que could figure out the situation, he only heard two slaps on the face, and then two punches, and the two men suddenly started fighting.
There were two bangs and bangs, and the two of them fell out of the door, even the doors and windows were broken.
Everyone couldn't help but gather around to watch the show, and Ji Que was no exception. He took out Sister Wu's sesame cakes he bought on the road and ate them while watching.
The two of them were really fighting. The woman had her hair pulled, and the man had panda eyes.
Are all demon conquerors this violent?
At this time, an old man next to him said: "Young man, why don't you leave? That man will come and beat you later."
Ji Que said seriously: "I only asked a few questions."
"A serious question." Ji Que added.
"You're not looking for it, but you have found a woman who is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If she is acting on a whim, your serious question may not be serious. Then the man will not care about this. Have you seen the tattoo on his body?
"
At this time, the man's clothes were torn open by the woman, revealing a black dragon tattoo.
"Black dragon?"
"He's blind! He calls himself the 'One-Eyed Black Dragon', but we all call him Blind Dragon in private. He goes into a rage and even beats his own people, except his woman."
"Fuck, what's wrong with this guy?"
Ji Que could see that this man was stronger than the woman, but he was constantly being suppressed and beaten by the woman. He was obviously trying to endure it.
I might have to vent my anger on myself later.
Ji Que felt bad for a moment, so he silently retreated behind the crowd, turned around and left, taking a reward sheet.
"I just fell in love with him, are you satisfied?"
At this moment, the woman just now suddenly said something like this. Ji Que couldn't bear it and said "fuck me!", his scalp went numb, he raised his legs and ran away.
It's really unlucky that this kind of thing can happen to you.
The character and behavior of the Taoist couple made Ji Que, the unlucky king, feel numb for a moment.
