Longevity begins with a negative heart

Chapter 78 The Beggar and the Cook

There is no night or day in Ao'an City. The clock is kept by the bell of the City Lord's Mansion. It rings five times in the morning to get up and eat, and rings seven times in the evening to go to bed.

Shuhua had no bed or food.

She huddled under a bridge, her hair was disheveled, and she was wrapped in a smelly quilt of unknown age and owner.

Occasionally, if a mirage passes by, they will cover their noses in disgust and throw one or two small dried fish to her, teaching their children:

"Look, if you don't practice hard and work hard when you're young, you'll have to beg for food when you get old."

Shuhua smiled and thanked: "Thank you, do you have any more? Two more? If two are too many, one will do."

She got a mouthful of spit: "Shameless, I owe you!"

A group of monks who were searching passed by. When they saw this scene, they didn't bother to come and take a look, and stayed away with the same disgust.

Yuan Gungun pushed Shuhua hard with his head and asked her for food as a matter of course.

"This is the last bottle." Shuhua gave it a bottle of Qiongyu ointment without expression, and then pulled the dirty quilt on his body.

Aosong's figure is much taller and stronger than the average mirage, and she is so eye-catching that she will be beaten if she shows her head. Until she finds a way to break the illusion, she is destined to be a beggar.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry... the garbage truck from the City Lord's Mansion is here!" Xiao Yudi shouted excitedly.

Shuhua immediately wrapped himself in the ragged quilt and rushed out.

Several garbage trucks parked nearby and dumped all the garbage.

Several beggars dressed similarly to Shuhua rushed forward, rummaging around and fighting over a piece of smelly spiritual meat.

While grabbing the garbage, Shuhua quietly approached the garbage truck and got in without others paying attention.

Before the stench hit, Roots had already considerately covered her mouth and nose.

There was a violent vibration in the spirit beast bag, and Yuan Gungun cursed loudly, to the effect that the bird stinked to death, and the director had tricked it into following such a useless master.

Shuhua remained unmoved and snatched away the last half bottle of Qiongyu ointment.

As a result, the ears are pure.

Xiao Yudi was indignant: "Just eat the Xuanli Pearl when you get back! This is definitely a conspiracy. She must have arranged everything a long time ago, just to get rid of you reasonably and legally!"

Shuhua closed his eyes and circulated his spiritual power, practicing non-stop: "I want to lock her in a garbage truck for a whole year! Then let her take over all the cesspools in Ruyi Palace."

After a stick of incense, the garbage truck stopped.

Separated by a wall was the kitchen of the City Lord's Mansion. The aroma of soul meat filled his nostrils, and Xiao Yudrop almost went crazy.

"Shu Hua, Xiao Yudi is so hungry, so hungry, so hungry..."

Shuhua swallowed his saliva, scratched off the rotten seaweed on his head, and concentrated on releasing the transparent roots to quietly detect the movement.

There was only a tall and thin cook in the kitchen with his head buried in cutting vegetables. Some kind of spiritual meat was cooking in the big copper cauldron behind him. The broth was white and fragrant.

The roots stood up like snakes, hanging on the edge of the cauldron to peek at the meat in the pot, and tentatively trying to reach in to taste it.

Suddenly, a pale and slender hand grabbed the root with force.

Shuhua was startled, quickly cut off the section of roots, and huddled in the garbage truck without daring to move.

With a soft "pop" sound, the lid of the garbage truck was opened, and a cold and serious face appeared above.

"Secretary..." Shuhua couldn't help shouting and retracted his head.

To be honest, it's a bit embarrassing to look like this.

But she quickly cheered up again, bared her four long fangs, widened her leopard eyes, stroked her beard, and smiled at Lingze.

What is she afraid of? This is all to complete the mission!
The boss should praise her!
Lingze looked at the strange yet familiar face in front of him and didn't know what to say for a moment.

It is indeed heartless.

Anyone with a snack would never appear in front of him so indifferently.

"Why is the Secretary here?" Shuhua jumped out of the garbage truck, threw away the tattered quilt wrapped around him, and then used the cleaning technique.

Yuan Gungun took advantage of this opportunity and quickly sneaked to Lingze's side to beg for food.As expected, Lingze did not disappoint him. He slowly took out the glass bottle and let him eat as much as he could.

"I am the new chef hired by the city lord's mansion. They spent a lot of money to hire me."

Lingze led the way without any expression, "My residence is right in front."

Shuhua followed happily: "Sir, what kind of meat did you cook? It's so delicious."

"Sea mutton. It can only be found in the deep sea."

"Sir, when you get back, will you give each of our team a sound-transmitting ruler?"

"Okay, the deposit is [-] spiritual stones."

"Can't we just ask for a deposit?"

"No."

Shuhua didn't bother too much and asked for food as a matter of course: "Secretary, please have a bowl of sea mutton."

Lingze didn't answer, opened the door and left.

Shuhua walked in and consciously found a corner to sit down.

Although she used the cleaning technique, she always felt that one should be conscious in life, and in the current situation it was better not to touch the chairperson's things as much as possible.

Lingze came back soon and handed her a copper pot containing sea mutton stewed with sea beads.

Shu Hua originally thought it would be hot, but he didn't expect that there was a layer of cold air lingering outside the copper pot. The two were opposite, neither cold nor hot, just right.

After being hungry for several days, she had no time to say anything and just kept eating.

I thought it was just a little bit, but I didn't expect that this copper pot was a magic weapon. It didn't look big, but it was so good at holding it that I couldn't finish it.

Of course, Shuhua will definitely live up to its delicious food.

After eating and drinking, she leaned against the wall comfortably and thanked her sincerely: "Secretary, you are so kind."

Lingze glanced at her lightly and said nothing.

Shuhua didn't care and went straight to the point: "Secretary, what's going on with the captain and that deer demon named Su Daji?"

Lingze's expression was indifferent: "I don't know."

Shuhua pondered for a moment and said decisively: "Then we have to hurry up and fulfill Aosong's wish. As long as he is happy, the captain and the others will not have any problems."

"Go to sleep." Lingze blew out the lamp directly.

"..." Shuhua was caught off guard and fell into darkness.

She sat in the corner and didn't dare to move: "But, in the dead of night, people are doing something, doesn't the Secretary lead his subordinates to find out the truth about that year?"

Lingze's calm voice came from the darkness.

"The city lord's illusion skills are unfathomable. Once she falls asleep, there will be illusions everywhere in the house, which is not suitable for action. Only when she gets up can she take action."

It makes sense. Shuhua immediately started practicing. Sea mutton is full of spiritual power. It would be in vain if he didn't practice.

Xiao Yudi muttered: "You are so ugly, how did the director know it was you?"

Shu Hua took it for granted: "The Master has great magic power, so of course he can see through illusions."

After the spiritual power circulated once, a slight sound came, as if something fell to the ground.

Shuhua conjured up a small green lotus lamp on his fingertips, and saw the minister lying on his side on the bed, sleeping deeply, with the quilt falling on the ground.

She manipulated the roots to pick up the quilt and gently covered Lingze.

Leader: Just give me a pot and I can attract a tree demon.

It’s coming, it’s coming… Let’s ask for various tickets as usual.
