Volume 2: A sudden change in the prison, a red-clothed man goes out to find a thief Chapter 180 Li·Accident-prone areas·Si
On the table, the white mist between the food was still floating. Compared to the cabbage buns when Li Si first arrived here, the food in the restaurant has improved a lot, although there is only a difference of about a month between the two.
After listening to a few sentences casually, Li Si actually heard clearly the topic that Cao Wenxuan and Ning Caihe were talking about at the moment. What they were talking about was the incident that happened in the south of the city this morning, the fight between Dugu Bufu and Jiang Lian'er.
Ning Caihe liked listening to these stories about the martial arts world. As long as someone told them, he would sit aside and listen. What's more, it was a showdown between two great masters, so he naturally couldn't miss it.
As for Cao Wenxuan, she is a fan of Dugu Bufu's sword, so she would definitely tell him the news about Dugu Bufu.
Since meeting Cao Wenxuan, Li Si realized that there are people like fans in this world. Dugu Bufu became famous , with handsome appearance and many anecdotes, which naturally attracted countless girls to admire him. They even formed groups in various places, and Cao Wenxuan was one of them.
However, she didn't seem to know what Dugu Bufu looked like, she had only seen him in paintings. For various reasons, Li Si did not tell the girl that Dugu Bufu had come to the store some time ago.
He was just wondering if he had any fan groups somewhere he didn't know about. After all, he was a thief, and his charm shouldn't be any less than that silly goose Dugu Bufu.
Just when Li Si was imagining himself being surrounded by fans, he suddenly saw Zhang Susu's "old face" approaching in the smoke of the food.
"Uh." Li Si unconsciously stepped back, looked at Zhang Susu's smiling face, shuddered subconsciously, and asked aloud.
"Shopkeeper, what are you doing?"
"Nothing." Zhang Susu quickly shook her head, picked up a chicken leg with chopsticks and put it in Li Si's bowl and said, "Come on, Xiao Si, eat the chicken leg."
"Ah, thank you, shopkeeper." Although he was a little confused, Li Si still thanked him.
Then, Zhang Susu picked up another chicken leg and handed it to Ning Caihe and said.
"Come, Xiaohe, eat too."
"Thank you, shopkeeper." Ning Caihe naturally took it obediently.
When Zhang Susu picked up another chicken wing, Cao Wenxuan immediately raised her bowl with a smile.
But Zhang Susu just put the chicken wings into her bowl, then sighed under Cao Wenxuan's resentful gaze, and said to Li Si and Ning Caihe.
"Hey, Xiao Si and Xiao He, as you know, the store hasn't been doing well recently. Now it's finally getting better thanks to you. You've really worked hard."
"It doesn't matter. If the shopkeeper hadn't taken me in, I would have starved to death on the streets. Now I'm actually quite happy that I can help the store."
Ning Caihe smiled and scratched her hair, saying that she didn't care. Anyway, he was always treated as a girl, and now he was just pretending, it wasn't a big deal.
"Good girl, I knew you cared about me." Zhang Susu said with red eyes, holding Ning Caihe's hand and shaking it tightly.
"But when we do business outside, the most taboo thing is to cheat customers. Now we have violated the rules. When you disguise yourself, those customers will probably not come anymore."
I knew there was a but, Li Si, who was sitting on the side gnawing on a chicken leg, raised his eyebrows silently and thought helplessly.
"Then what should we do?" Ning Caihe became nervous after hearing what Zhang Susu said. After all, he was still a child, and he was soft-hearted and easily persuaded .
Luo Ansheng and Hao Dayou, who were sitting on the other side, had already guessed what Zhang Susu was thinking. They tactfully lowered their heads and started eating without saying a word.
"Hey." Putting her hand on the back of Ning Caihe's hand and patting it, Zhang Susu pretended to be disappointed and said, "The shopkeeper has no choice but to let you pretend for a while longer. Don't worry, as long as I have a solution, I will immediately let you change back to your original appearance."
"So." Ning Caihe thought for a moment and nodded seriously: "Then I'll listen to the shopkeeper."
At this time, Li Si suddenly stretched out a hand to block the two of them, smiled awkwardly and asked.
"Well, boss, how long will it take?"
He had already discovered that there was no time limit for this disguise as a woman from beginning to end. When it would end depended entirely on Zhang Susu. It was up to her to say so.
So he had to ask for a deadline today no matter what. Otherwise, if he pretended to be there for another day, he would be at greater risk of being discovered.
Although he didn't care much about his reputation, he didn't want to be known as a womanizer in the world.
"This..." The smile on Zhang Susu's face paused, then she turned her eyes to the side and said hesitantly.
"It won't last too long, just ten days, half a month, or half a year, or maybe a year..."
As her tone became more and more uncertain, Li Si's face became darker and darker.
He felt like he was on a pirate ship that could capsize at any time.
…
At night, Li Si took off the dress, changed into his original clothes, and washed his face. To be honest, the feeling of rouge and powder on his face was really uncomfortable. After a day, he felt that his whole face was suffocated.
In addition to Zhang Susu sleeping upstairs, there are three rooms in the backyard of the restaurant. According to gender, Lao Luo and Dayou sleep in one room, Xiao Cao sleeps in one room, and Banjiexian and Xiaohe sleep in one room.
Now that Li Si was added, the men's room was no longer big enough for anyone else, otherwise it would be too crowded. It was impossible for Li Si to sleep with Cao Wenxuan, so he could only sleep in the lobby.
However, Li Si had no objection to this. In his opinion, sleeping in the lobby was also good, at least there was a blanket, which was better than sleeping on the roof. As for his gifts and clothes, he first placed them in Banjiexian and Xiaohe's room.
After bolting the door and spreading the bedding on a long table, Li Si prepared to lie down and sleep.
But at this time, Banjiexian suddenly walked into the lobby, looked around in the dark, and asked Li Si.
"No one is there?"
"What do you think?" Li Si was too lazy to answer such a question that he knew the answer to.
"Hehe." Banjiexian laughed twice, moved closer to Li Si's table and spoke in a low voice.
"I see you don't look well today."
"Nonsense." Li Si cursed with a bitter smile: "How can you be calm if I ask you to pretend to be a woman and pull a man?"
"I don't really care." Banjiexian shrugged his shoulders. Indeed, it was not the first time that he dressed up as a woman, and he had also done things like seducing men before.
"Actually." Turning his head to look at Li Si, Banjiexian reached out and patted his shoulder.
"You just need to be more open-minded about this kind of thing. You came here just to take a break. Just think of it as experiencing a new life, okay."
" There is no such new method." Li Si said as he crawled into the quilt and sighed helplessly: "It's not so exaggerated to be reborn again."
At least he was still a man when he was reincarnated last time. It’s not that there is anything wrong with being a woman, but he really can’t adapt to it.
"And if that's all, I can accept it. I'm just afraid that one day I'll be recognized by someone I know."
Li Si said with a dark face and shook his head.
In the end, he can only blame himself. Why did he write those letters for no reason? He was digging a hole for himself.
"Speaking of acquaintances." Banjiexian paused and looked more serious: "Did Dugu Bufu come to the store some time ago?"
He was not in the lobby at that time, so he did not see the other party.
"He did come for a while." Li Si nodded while curled up in the quilt: "Then I drove him out."
"So he went to the south of the city to fight with Jiang Lian'er." Banjiexian glanced at Li Si teasingly, probably guessing what had happened between him and Dugu Bufu.
"I heard that." Li Si responded with a raised eyebrow. This could be considered as helping him.
"Yeah." Banjiexian withdrew his gaze, leaned against a pillar beside the table, lowered his eyes and said.
"I don't know what happened, but I heard that it was a big deal. It's all over the world now. You should be careful."
"It's just a fight, how big a deal can it be?" Li Si rolled his eyes indifferently, obviously not taking the matter to heart.
But it won't be long before he understands that he has underestimated the importance of Jiang Lian'er and Dugu Bufu in this world.
Or rather, he still underestimated his ability to cause trouble.
