Chapter 013 Give You Pumpkin Pie
"I have no money." Zhao Xiaomin said, turning out his trouser pocket for Xu to see.
"Ask your mother to give it to you." Xu said.
"It was me who asked you to come here, not my mother. You can't ask my mother for money." Zhao Xiaomin said righteously.
Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu almost laughed out loud when they heard this. This time Xu Lai had met his match. Let's see what he will do.
"You call yourself a wizard even though you have no money? Do you want to eat and dine for free?" Xu Lai frowned.
"I don't have any money, but I have something else to give you." Zhao Xiaomin said as she ran into the kitchen. After a while she brought out a large bowl with a lid on it.
"What?" Xu Lai went over and opened the lid, only to see three golden fried pumpkin pie inside.
"I made this myself. It's delicious. I'll give it all to you." The little girl said as she handed the bowls to the three people.
Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Xu Lai couldn't hold back any longer, so he picked one from the bowl, put it in his mouth and took a bite. "It tastes okay, right? It's not too much to drink some of your water, right?"
Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu also laughed and took a pumpkin pie each and ate it, saying, "It tastes really good."
The three of them returned to the sofa in the living room and sat for a while, waiting for Zhao Xiaomin's mother to wake up before leaving.
After a while, Zhao Xiaomin brought out three cups of water on a plate. He picked up a cup and handed it to Xu Lai respectfully: "Master brother, please have some tea."
Xu Lai took it.
Zhao Xiaomin handed them to Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu respectively, and said crisply: "Master brother, please have some tea."
The three of them drank water on the sofa and rested for a while. After two games in a row, they were indeed a little thirsty. After a while, Zhao Xiaomin went back to the kitchen and brought out another large plate of pumpkin pie.
"Didn't you say you would give us all? How come there's still some left?" Sun Muyu laughed so hard. This little girl was so interesting.
"Master brother, these pumpkin pie are all for you. I also want to ask you to do me a favor." Zhao Xiaomin said in a crisp voice.
"Is there anything else? If it's too difficult, these pumpkin pie are not enough." Gao Xiang was happy. This little girl really wanted to use pumpkin pie to get rid of them all.
"If you help me find my sister, I will make lots of pumpkin pie for you to eat." said the little girl.
Xu Lai and the other two were stunned for a moment.
"Looking for your sister?"
"Yes, my sister is missing. Can you find her?" Zhao Xiaomin pursed her lips and was about to cry, but she held it back.
"Speak slowly."
Xu Lai and the other two stopped joking.
"My sister has been missing for five days and I can't find her anywhere." Zhao Xiaomin said, choking up.
It turned out that her sister Zhao Wenjun was a student at Jiangning University. She suddenly disappeared five days ago. The Zhao family also called the police, but the police searched for a long time but found no news.
Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu frowned. Finding people was not their strong point as mages. If the police, with so many manpower and resources, couldn't find them, it would be even more difficult for them to do so.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Xu Lai ask, "Is your sister pretty?"
Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu were both stunned when they heard this. Why did the great master ask this? Did he suspect that Zhao Xiaomin's sister was raped?
"My sister is so pretty." The little girl said, and she went to get her mother's mobile phone and took out a photo of her sister.
When the three of them saw that Zhao Wenjun had a good figure and temperament, she was indeed an outstanding beauty.
In fact, just looking at the appearance of Zhao Xiaomin and her mother, you can tell that her sister won’t be much worse.
At this time, there was a noise in the house. It was Xiaomin's mother who woke up. Zhao Xiaomin ran over quickly, followed by Xu Lai and others.
Xiaomin's mother was quite surprised to see three strangers at home, but Zhao Xiaomin was very eloquent and told the whole story in a few words.
Xiao Min's mother was shocked and frightened when she heard this. She thanked the three people repeatedly, saying that the children were ignorant and she immediately got up to give them money.
Xu Lai and the others naturally wouldn't want it, saying that they had already taken it.
Seeing that Xiao Minmin's mother was fine, the three of them did not stay any longer. They let her rest in bed and then said goodbye and left.
Zhao Xiaomin escorted the three people out, took Xu Lai's hand, and pleaded softly: "Master brother, can you help me again?"
Xu Lai patted her head, took a pumpkin pie from the plate, and said, "Make more next time."
Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu also smiled and took a pumpkin pie to eat, saying, "I promise you."
The little girl was delighted. She took Xu Lai's arm and said, "Brother, please give me your phone number and address." She ran to get paper and pen.
Xu Lai held a pumpkin pie in his mouth, wrote down his phone number and address, and then left Zhao's house with Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu.
They took a taxi back to Malan Street. Xu Lai's things were still at Qian's. When Boss Qian saw the three of them coming back, he greeted them from a distance.
"Boss, you seem quite enthusiastic today?" Gao Xiang said with a surprised smile.
The old man pushed his glasses up, squinted his eyes and looked the three people up and down: "I heard that you have won both jobs?"
"That's a must. Boss Qian gets news quickly." Sun Muyu said proudly.
Boss Qian gave a thumbs up and said, "That's incredible!"
As he spoke, he looked at Xu Lai a few more times and said cheerfully, "Brother Xu, I'll give you the biggest discount when you come to my place next time!"
"Half price?" Xu Lai asked.
"Cough cough..." Boss Qian was drinking tea and choked. Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu beside him burst into laughter.
"Master, you are awesome!" Gao Xiang laughed.
"Okay, let's go back." Xu looked over and saw that it was getting late, so he prepared to say goodbye and leave.
"Master, do you have WeChat? Add me as your friend!" Gao Xiang walked with Xu Lai.
"Damn it, you added me as a friend without even calling me! Add me, add me!" Sun Muyu also hurried over. He had some disagreements with Xu Lai before, but after today, he knew that Xu Lai was a great master. Naturally, the incident with Kang Lu before was not someone else's fault, but his own ignorance.
The three of them came out of Malan Street together. Xu Lai said he had some things to do, so Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu left first.
Xu Lai walked along the street for a while, turned into Ningchuan Street, and surveyed the terrain here one by one. Seeing that it was getting dark, he prepared to find a place to have a meal first.
At this time, his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Chen Duo who sent him a WeChat message, asking him where he was.
Xu Lai sent the address, and Chen Duo replied quickly, saying, "It's very close to my school. Let's have dinner together tonight."
Xu said yes. Chen Duo said then wait for him at the school gate.
Xu Lai had been wandering around this area for the whole day and was no longer unfamiliar with the environment. After turning a few streets, he arrived at Jiangnan Avenue, and a little further on he reached Jiangning University.
It was already dark by now, and the streets were brightly lit.
Chen Duo was already waiting at the door, waving at him from afar.
Xu Lai crossed the street, looked back at the dazzling array of restaurants across the street, and said, "What do you want to eat? It's my treat."
"Oh, you're quite rich. Have you made a fortune?" Chen Duo said jokingly.
"I just made some money this afternoon." Xu said.
"Did you really get rich? Tell me, did you go to exorcise evil spirits?" Chen Duo excitedly.
"Yes." Xu Lai walked and looked at the restaurant next to him.
"Is this true? Weren't you just out for a stroll? Why did you suddenly go to exorcise evil spirits?" Chen Duo asked.
Xu Lai recounted the incident of his chance meeting with Sun Muyu and Gao Xiang.
"No way, you actually went to work for that guy? Do you have any future?" Chen Duo was angry. The guy surnamed Sun had just slandered them as liars.
"Haha, where are we going to eat? You are more familiar with this place." Xu said.
"How much money did you make?" Chen Duo said unhappily.
"one hundred."
Chen Duohan said: "You did this too? Those two guys think of you as their little brother, right?"
"Being a magician isn't about making money." Xu Lai smiled.
"I'm impressed by you. Let's go eat the tomato fish. It tastes pretty good." Chen Duo said. Two people ordered a tomato fish and two bowls of rice, which would cost about fifty yuan, and he could save this guy fifty yuan.
As they talked, they walked along the street. After a few steps, they heard someone behind them calling, "Master, Master!"
The voice was so loud that Xu Lai and Chen Duo naturally heard it. They turned around and saw Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu running towards them.
"I just said he was a great god!" Sun Muyu said proudly to Gao Xiang.
"Yes, yes, you have sharp eyes!" Gao Xiang scolded with a smile.
"You are here too." Xu Lai was a little surprised to see the two of them and said with a smile.
"Yes, what a coincidence! Master, have you eaten? Let's have dinner together!" Gao Xiang invited warmly.
"Yes, let's do it together!" Sun Muyu also said hurriedly.
Xu Lai smiled and said, "Next time, I'll treat the landlord to a meal."
When Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu arrived, they noticed the beauty next to Xu Lai. Chen Duo and Sun Muyu had seen her before and thought she was Xu Lai's friend. When they heard him say she was the landlord, they were both stunned.
Gao Xiang was the one who reacted quickly. He said with a smile: "Then next time, there will be plenty of opportunities! Master, we'll leave first!" He pulled Sun Muyu and left quickly.
"What are these two guys doing?" Chen Duo was puzzled as he watched from the side. Looking at the situation, he didn't seem to be working for others, but was trying to be someone's boss, right?
"It's nothing, I just want to help them get rid of the phantom. Is this the one?" Xu Lai pointed to one of the stores.
"Ah? Yes." The topic jumped so quickly that Chen Duo was stunned for a moment.
"Let's go." Xu Lai entered the store.
"Wait a minute, what is an illusion?"
"Talk while we eat."
Under Chen Duo's questioning, Xu Lai roughly recounted what happened in the afternoon between the Wang and Zhao families. However, there were many professional things in it, and a layman like Chen Duo was confused.
"You still have some skills." Chen Duo said.
"What else do you think?" Xu Lai was eating tomato fish.
"You get out of breath when I praise you. " Chen Duo said disdainfully, "I have to go home later, are you coming back?"
Xu Lai said: "I have something else to do, can you help me take this thing back?"
"What is this?" Chen Duo took the bag from Xu Lai, opened it and took a look. "These are acacia beans, right?"
Xu said yes.
