Shen Xiuwen brushed Zhou Jun's hand away without leaving a trace and straightened his collar.

"Don't break it for me, I just bought this and it's very expensive."

"Hmph, don't let me see you!" Zhou Jun snorted coldly, not wanting to have too much entanglement with Shen Xiuwen. His thoughts at the moment were all about Shen Xiuwen's words about the dying man.

Shen Xiuwen shrugged. For a small character like Zhou Jun, he couldn't catch his eye at all. Even if he was as powerful as Li Lin, he was just a bigger ant.

After walking out of the shopping mall, Shen Xiuwen didn't know where to go for a moment. He had all the skills but no place to use them, which was hard for him.

After settling down in a cheap hotel, Shen Xiuwen wandered the streets for two or three days. Except for some hard-working jobs, he really couldn't find anything suitable.

"Alas! Do you think that I, the descendant of Hidden God Mountain, will be reduced to carrying sacks? I am really overqualified and underused!"

No matter whether he wants to accept it or not, he has to face the reality. Shen Xiuwen has nothing to offer at this time. No, he still has three Daqi Tongbao, but they are used for daily deductions and must not be sold. At first, he didn't know about money. He didn't think of those few copper coins as a treasure. Now after a few days of supplementing his common sense, he finally knew how precious this thing was. He just didn't know how many of these coins the old man had.

"Huh? I have an idea!"

A smile appeared at the corner of Shen Xiuwen's mouth. He just happened to be able to deduce divination. Isn't this a living? This is an ancient deduction method. Although he doesn't know what it is called, the old man has been talking about the secret method of his sect and must not leak it.

As soon as he said it, Shen Xiuwen found a shop, made a "iron mouth straight off" flag and held it in his hand. He changed into a long gown, picked up a small stool and sat on the overpass, waiting for customers to come. .

It didn't matter if he waited, Shen Xiuwen almost starved to death on the overpass.

There is a lot of people coming and going here, but who would have the time to pay attention to a fortune teller? If a fortune teller wants to have a business, he must be an old man who looks like a fairy. As for whether he is accurate or not That’s right, it’s better to just spend money and listen to it.

Shen Xiuwen was so hungry that he felt dizzy. All the money he had pocketed had been depleted by his astonishing appetite. Seeing how much he consumed and how little he took in, he didn't know how long he could last.

It was getting dark. Shen Xiuwen got up and was about to go back to the hotel. However, because he got up too hard and hadn't eaten for two days, his already over-exhausted body choked, his vision went dark, and he fell forward.

"careful!"

Before losing consciousness, Shen Xiuwen saw a pair of slender beautiful eyes, and then lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he appeared in a strange environment. There was a fragrance that entered his nose. It felt like it was a girl's room, but I've consumed too much, and I'm still feeling groggy now, and I really don't want to leave.

"You're awake!" A sweet voice came into his ears. Shen Xiuwen had never heard such a sweet voice before. It was like the sound of nature and seemed not to belong to the human world.

"Where is this?" When Shen Xiuwen spoke, his hoarse voice startled him.

"This is my home. I saw you fainted on the road, so I asked someone to put you here first. Are you feeling better?" The girl was startled by Shen Xiuwen's voice and said a little shyly.

In a daze, Shen Xiuwen saw the girl's appearance clearly, and he was immediately surprised. The girl had a well-proportioned figure and a sweet voice, but her face was extremely ugly, with large black marks attached to her face and veins exposed. If the pain in his body hadn't told him that he was still alive, Shen Xiuwen would have thought that he had gone to hell and met Yaksha.

"Didn't it scare you?" The girl then remembered that she was excited when she saw Shen Xiuwen wake up, but she forgot to wear a mask to cover her face.

"It's okay." Shen Xiuwen scratched his head in embarrassment. After all, the girl was his savior, and the way he looked just now was indeed a bit heartbreaking.

The girl put on the mask and turned her head, revealing only a pair of smart and slender eyes.

"Um... thank you. This is your boudoir. I won't disturb you, so I'll take my leave." Shen Xiuwen was a little embarrassed and got out of bed and prepared to leave. But as soon as his feet hit the ground, his legs went soft and he knelt down. On the ground.

"Haha, I can't accept such a big gift from you." The girl giggled at Shen Xiuwen's sudden scene. The girl who covered her face was like a fairy falling into the mortal world, and time and space seemed to stand still for a moment.

Shen Xiuwen looked at the girl infatuatedly, thinking that if her face was not so scary, there would be another beauty in the world.

The girl also noticed that Shen Xiuwen had been staring at her and turned her head away in embarrassment. Shen Xiuwen quickly used his hands and feet to stand up tremblingly.

"Gulu"

Before he could explain, Wu Zang Temple started to lose his temper. After all, he hadn't eaten for several days and it was hard for anyone.

"I'll prepare something to eat for you." The girl ran out of the room as if she was running away. Shen Xiuwen then leaned on the wall and looked around the girl's room.

The room is different from other girls, there are no pink accessories, and the colors are a bit bland. The room is large, almost sixty or seventy square meters, with books on one wall coming into view, and a desk placed below. A computer.

"Maybe this is her entire life." Shen Xiuwen sighed. A woman whose appearance is disliked by the world may think that it is safest to stay in her own world.

After a while, the girl brought a bowl of porridge and handed it to Shen Xiuwen's hand.

"Thanks."

Shen Xiuwen was polite, took the porridge, drank it all in one gulp, and smacked his lips at the same time, obviously not eating enough.

"I'll get you another bowl." The girl grabbed the bowl and went out and brought another bowl in. Shen Xiuwen was still not satisfied.

"Well, otherwise I'd better go out to eat. It's too much trouble for you to run back and forth like this." Shen Xiuwen stopped the girl and said a little embarrassed.

He also wanted to leave as soon as possible. After all, the girl had just saved him, and he felt sorry for being disturbed. However, he was penniless and was so hungry that he could not care about so much. He had to eat before eating. Not if you have the strength to walk.

The girl led Shen Xiuwen to the restaurant, where the porridge in a casserole was still being heated on a small fire on the stove next to it.

"Well, is there anything else we can eat besides porridge?" Shen Xiuwen was not polite. After all, how long would it take to be full just from porridge?

"Ah! I'll have someone do it for you right now."

The girl quickly called someone to bring some food over, and then watched quietly as Shen Xiuwen devoured the whole pot of porridge.

"You look like you haven't eaten in three days." The girl found it a little funny. After all, she rarely interacted with people because of her appearance, and everyone would stay away from her after seeing her true appearance. Naturally, she had no friends as time went by. Shen Xiuwen was the first person who stayed here after seeing his appearance and did not escape. Although it might be because he couldn't run away, at least there was someone to talk to in the room, so he wouldn't be too lonely.

"Don't tell me, I really haven't eaten in three days."

Shen Xiuwen drank all the porridge in the pot, then put down the casserole and let out a sigh of relief.

"Really? Then why don't you eat? You don't look fat either. Are you also following people on the Internet to lose weight?" The girl was a little curious. She had no worries about food and clothing since she was a child. Although her parents were not always with her, But he also loves himself very much, and he has never known anyone to faint on the road because he has no money to eat and is hungry.

"Uh... this..." Shen Xiuwen was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to explain.

At this moment, an old man in a short shirt walked in, followed by several people dressed as nannies, and placed the food box in his hand on the dining table.

The old man saw Shen Xiuwen at first sight when he came in. He was surprised at first, and then became defensive.

"Xiao Ru, I asked you why you asked for so much food. It turns out you have a friend at home." The old man said, looking at Shen Xiuwen warily.

"Grandpa Tie, this is my new friend. His name is... his name is..." The girl scratched her head in embarrassment. She had not asked Shen Xiuwen his name for so long, and she didn't know what to call him for a while. other side.

"Hello, Mr. Tie. I'm in Shenxiu, Xiuwen. I'm sorry for bothering you. I'd like to thank Haihan." Shen Xiuwen stood up, cupped his fists and gave a salute.

The old man was a little surprised. The young people in front of him were very old-fashioned in their speech and behavior. Even the way of greeting them was very old-fashioned etiquette in the world.

"Haha, Xiao Shen, I can't tell that you are still a member of the world at such a young age. I wonder where you studied?" Tie Lao laughed and began to interrogate the details.

"I am studying under Taoist Xuanwu, and I have just come down from the mountain to practice this time." Shen Xiuwen announced his master's name and explained his purpose of coming.

Tie Lao frowned. He had never heard of the Taoist Xuanwu that Shen Xiuwen was talking about. Perhaps he was not famous enough, or perhaps he had not been found at all. However, he did not show it at the moment and was just secretly on guard.

Shen Xiuwen didn't pay too much attention to it. He grew up in the mountains and didn't know much about people, people, words and emotions. What's more, Tie Lao was an old man, how could he see through his psychology.

The food had been placed neatly, and Shen Xiuwen had already been enchanted by the aroma. The chopsticks in his hands were flying up and down, and in a short time, all the food on the table was cleaned.

After eating at this time, Shen Xiuwen remembered that there were people watching beside him. He raised his head and found that the two of them still had not woken up from the shock.

"Well!"

Shen Xiuwen burped, and then the two of them reacted.

"Haha, Xiao Shen, you are really... so powerful!" Tie Lao smiled heartily. He also saw that Shen Xiuwen's thoughts were simple. It was not clear what his purpose was, but Tie Lao believed in his own vision. , this young man has a charlatan spirit, does things informally, and his character should not be bad.

After eating, Shen Xiuwen planned to leave here. If he really couldn't go back to Yin Shen Mountain, although he would be laughed at by the old man, it would be better than starving to death outside.

Huang Ru was a little sad when she heard that Shen Xiuwen was leaving. After all, although the servants at home respected her, they would inevitably have some gaps. The only one who was kind to her, Mr. Tie, had to go help his elders, and she was the only one left on weekdays. , it is inevitable to feel a little lonely.

Tie Lao also saw Huang Ru's thoughts, so he told Shen Xiuwen that there was no need to worry. The Huang family would still have no problem with him having enough food, and allowed him to live in peace of mind, and asked someone to clear out a guest room on the first floor. .

Shen Xiuwen thanked him again and again, and at the same time he had a temporary place to stay.

In the evening, Tie Lao specially prepared some meals to welcome Shen Xiuwen, and the two chatted happily. Although Shen Xiuwen didn't know much about modern things, he was proficient in ancient books, Feng Shui, Yin and Yang, Taoist theories, etc.

It was late at night, and the two of them were still changing glasses. When the wine was getting thicker, Shen Xiuwen asked about Huang Ru.

Tie Lao was silent for a moment and then said, "This kid Xiaoru has a hard life!"

It turns out that when Huang Ru was a child, she was normal, sensible and cute, and everyone liked her. But then she suddenly got seriously ill. All the hospitals were unable to do anything, and she was about to die. At this time, An old Taoist priest came and said that he could save Huang Ru's life. However, this life could be saved, but at a high price.

"This price is in exchange for her appearance." Tie Lao drank the wine in his glass and sighed longly.

Tie Lao continued: "The old Taoist left a recipe and hurried away, never to be seen again."

"Has the old Taoist received any benefits?"

"Not a penny was taken."

This is also the reason why Tie Lao and others dare not feel resentful. After all, rescuing him is already a great favor. Even if there are sequelae, he and the others were chosen by him, not to mention that the old man has not withdrawn any money.
