Starting with the flesh-based stimulant

After eating the bald man who had been brought over yesterday, Zhou He leaned against the table and carefully felt the money in his body.

"The National Sugar and Wine Fair is in 5 days..."

He slowly began to plan.

The water was about to become murky, while I myself was becoming clearer and clearer.

What I need to do now is to make myself as sharp as possible, like a knife, before that day comes.

"Where will the travel expenses come from?"

What troubled him was the issue of travel expenses.

I'm helping Yao Yao carry meat here. I've already eaten two pieces, and I can eat meat four more times at most.

There are still nearly 6 pieces of meat needed before one can become a "meat-selling customer" (someone who sells their meat for profit).

You have to find a way to raise travel expenses.

But as soon as he leaves the area covered by the oil lamp, he will be enveloped in the fog and driven like a walking corpse.

although.

Zhou He's left hand trembled slightly, revealing Chen Hai's lighter, which was hidden in his sleeve.

Although he had a trump card, he didn't want to use up this one and only chance so easily.

unless......

A rainbow of colors flashed in Zhou He's eyes, and he seemed to hear a familiar song.

Unless it's wild meat.

He gritted his teeth, adjusted his hat, and said softly:

"Perhaps you've already prepared it for me?"

He continued to search through his memories of the past few days, piecing together, piecing together, and rehearsing like a jigsaw puzzle.

"Senior, could you... could you please stop tutoring Jiang Qi?"

Yao Yao bit her lip, walked to his side, and said with a complicated expression.

Zhou smiled and looked at Jiang Qi and the other two, who were still gathered together, whispering and wondering what kind of trouble they were planning to cause.

"Senior, my experiment is at a critical juncture. Could you please help me out and not teach him anymore?"

Yao Yao pleaded again, and Zhou He smiled and said:

"Sure... Yao Yao, I think there's a flaw in your experimental design."

Yao Yao instantly switched from dating mode to research mode, her face serious, and asked:

"Senior, what do you think is the problem?"

"You only considered domestic meat of different characteristics, which may be related to the ideal value for obtaining travel expenses, that's correct, but..."

At this point, he looked at the offering table with great interest and continued:

"Is it possible to include wild game meat in the function you've created?"

"Senior, this is different. Domestic meat and wild meat are two different systems..." Yao Yao subconsciously retorted, but then seemed to realize something and nodded:

"Okay, senior, I need three more pieces of domestic meat. If possible, I'd also like you to carry some wild meat for me once."

Zhou He smiled and nodded, propping up the brim of his hat with one finger, winking at Yao Yao, and whispering:

"clever."

After saying that, he pulled down the brim of his hat and was about to leave, but Jiang Qi stopped him.

"Senior, senior, don't worry."

"I promised Yao Yao I couldn't teach you anymore."

Jiang Qi's face immediately fell.

For the next three days, Zhou and his days repeated themselves, just like before.

Zhou He silently reads the newspaper, washes his face, goes through the secret passage, buys meat and carries it on his back, and wakes up in the laboratory.

Since that day when they passed by the square, Ga Gouwa never took Zhou He along that road again in the following days.

"Senior, could you carry me a piece of wild meat tomorrow?"

Yao Yao's voice fell softly beside Zhou He's ear.

Zhou He nodded, a smile spreading across his eyes. He gestured with his lips, looked at Jiang Qi and the other two who were idly huddled together, and said:

"After you finish carrying the meat tomorrow, you'd better stay at school with Jiang Qi and the others and do some serious research. Don't leave the school."

Yao Yao nodded, indicating that she understood.

Zhou He didn't know how much she understood.

In this world, it seems that everyone except Jiang Qi has many secrets and is also good at being a riddle teller.

Oh right, and Chen Hai and the other guy too.

He now firmly believes that stupidity has a clustering effect.

Because now, the three of them are probably so bored that they've started playing rock-paper-scissors and slapping each other.

Yeah, slap in the face.

Zhou He walked out of the laboratory with a dark expression on his face.

There's one day left until the National Sugar and Wine Fair.

The water will become muddy after tomorrow.

The next day, the weather was fine.

After washing his face as usual, Zhou He followed Ga Gouwa out of the room.

Behind the counter, Yongqiang is getting lazier and lazier.

He didn't say a word, or even make a glance; he just sat there blankly with his eyes closed.

I don't know what he's thinking about.

Upon arriving at the mine, Ga Gouwa, as usual, squatted down by the embankment.

We'll wait and see which mine we'll be visiting this week and today.

Zhou's mind was in a daze, filled with mist.

My body instinctively moved to the far left.

Ga Gouwa wanted to speak, but after a pause, he sat back down on the edge of the embankment, swinging his legs and picking up a blade of grass.

Zhou He walked into the mine on the far left.

Boss Liu is still not here. He's probably in the room on the left again. I wonder what he and Liu Qi are doing in there every day.

Zhou He pushed open the door and stood in front of the octagonal table.

Old Liu, with his sharp ears, came out through the side door with a smile, but his face darkened when he saw Zhou He.

"Distinguished guests have arrived; I have failed to greet you properly... Where is that dead donkey?"

Zhou He remained silent, his mind hazy.

Liu Laoda's eyes darted around, and seeing Zhou He's expression, he hesitated.

Zhou He ignored him and just stood there blankly in front of the octagonal table.

As if he had thought of something, Boss Liu sighed, stamped his foot, turned around, pushed open the side door, and led Zhou He inside.

"Seventh Brother, get the meat."

Liu Qi, leaning against the mirror, remained silent and didn't even glance at Zhou He.

Silently, chains grew from his empty left arm.

Liu the Elder searched through the box carefully.

Finally, they found a purple hook.

Liu Qi's usually expressionless face showed a hint of shock at this moment.

He looked down at the short, elderly Liu, with a questioning look on his face.

Liu Laoda didn't say much, but just kept sighing, one after another.

"Swish"

The chain sliced ​​through the air and landed squarely on the broken bowl.

The hook pierced the water in the bowl.

The moment it landed, it created a ripple.

Zhou He, who was standing there blankly, suddenly felt as if he had been pushed in his sleep.

His previously bewildered eyes suddenly filled with wariness and shock.

The next second, without bothering to look at anything else, he flicked a lighter out of his left sleeve.

"laugh"

The lighter ignited a flame, blue with a hint of yellow, and emitted a pungent smell of kerosene.

Zhou He didn't dare stop, and three more incense sticks came out of his sleeve.

The incense stick was lit over the flame, and a fragrance slowly diffused into the air.

Beneath the brim of his fisherman's hat, Zhou He's smile grew increasingly clear.

"Brother Liu, could you lend me an incense burner?"

Without any hesitation, Zhou He called out to Boss Liu, then quickly pulled out a pre-made wick from the iron box on his body and stuffed it into the oil lamp.

It is also lit with a lighter.

The scent of oil lamp incense mixed with the aroma of sanitary incense quickly filled the entire room.

"Wow, Boss Liu really went all out."

Zhou He looked at the purple hook at the end of the chain. He remembered clearly that when he came with the peddler last time, Liu Laoda opened a box with hooks of all colors, but there was only one purple one.

Old Liu was sighing and lamenting when he saw Zhou He's swift and agile movements. He was shocked and his small eyes widened in surprise.

Subconsciously following Zhou He's instructions, he took out an oil lamp and even helped him insert the incense stick.

Behind Zhou He, the tall Liu Qi also showed a hint of surprise on his face.

Zhou He smiled, lifted the brim of his fisherman's hat with one finger to reveal his handsome face, and slowly said:

"I have a business deal to discuss with Boss Liu. Can we talk in private?"
