don't mess with me

Chapter 145

The man was dangling in mid-air, and after I yelled, I hit Liu Xiaoliu on the back of the head: "Spider, you should get him down quickly!"

I thought so too, and when I looked up at that person, that person was also looking down, and then I realized that the person who came was an old man with white beard, white hair and childlike face, and he should have been a handsome guy when he was young.

I raised my head and shouted, "Master, can you come down by yourself?"

The old man looked at me and said: "Let me try." He loosened his right fingers, and slowly lowered his body. It turned out that a red thread in his cuff was hanging on the roof of the building. lower and lower.It probably stopped moving when it was lowered to the second floor window.

The old man said awkwardly: "There are not enough threads."

I jumped up a few times trying to grab the old man's ankle but failed. I shouted, "Wait, I'll find some bricks."

Liu Xiaoliu hugged his shoulders and said impatiently: "Two idiots! It's better to let him get down by himself than you pinch his ankles—" She pointed at the old man again, "You too, can you fall to death at such a height?"

We were both ashamed at the same time.

The old man waved his hand and said, "Get out of the way, I'm coming down." As soon as he let go of his hand, he jumped down and staggered on the ground, I hurried forward to hold him.

"Oh, thank you very much." The old man held my arm and kicked my heel on the ground, feeling that it was not sprained, and then let go.I thought to myself that this is due to the gods, and this person is in his sixties or seventies, how would an ordinary old man dare to jump down from the second floor.

I first asked Liu Xiaoliu in a low voice, "Who is this?"

Liu Xiaoliu also hesitated and said, "It looks familiar, so I can't name it."

I politely said to the old man, "What's your old name?"

The old man laughed and said, "You certainly don't know your real name, so just call me Yuelao."

"Yuelao..." I said excitedly, "Are you the patriarch who protects the media?"

Yuelao laughed dryly and said, "You can put it that way."

It turns out that this is the legendary god Yuelao who is in charge of marriage and love. It is said that if his red thread is tied to the feet of a man and a woman, the two will be married. No wonder he knows how to play with rope. If my mother and father know that he is coming Excited to die, especially knowing what happened to me and Lula.It's rare for this old man to come. So far, all the great gods who have fallen into the mortal world have been involved in the war between gods and demons.He has no combat attributes, which is as ridiculous as if one of the two countries is at war and insists on capturing the marriage registration office of the civil affairs bureau of the other party.

I introduced myself: "My name is Xiaoqiang. In their words, I am the agent of the Heavenly Court. You may have seen this one before and now you don't know it—Princess Six."

Yuelao cupped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, I'm lucky to have met the two—the face of Sixth Princess..."

I quickly reminded him: "Don't ask!"

Liu Xiaoliu glanced at Yuelao and said, "You wouldn't be like this if you taught me this trick earlier."

I asked Yuelao, "Why did you get shot down too? Did you introduce an unreliable partner to the head of the Demon Race?"

Yuelao waved his hands and said, "No, no, my lower realm is a routine matter, but it has nothing to do with the demons."

"Routine?"

"Yes, as long as I go forward, if I am a few hundred years old, I will practice the lower bound."

I suddenly said: "No wonder the rope is so slippery, I have experience." I asked again, "What business do you have?"

Yuelao said: "That's a long story, let's change clothes first—there has been no lower realm for a hundred years, and this world has changed a lot." society.

As a result, the old man changed his mind as soon as he went to the street and saw the dazzling array of restaurants on both sides. He rubbed his stomach and said, "Why don't we eat first." After falling down for several days, he must be hungry.

"What would you like to eat?"

"It's fine, just don't be too greasy, it's better if I haven't eaten it before."

"You haven't eaten it before..." I looked around and said, "Is the cake okay? But that thing is sweet, and it's easy to get tired of it."

"Sweet is good, eat more sweet and feel good."

I smiled and said, "You came up with this theory many years ago?" As expected of a master of marriage and love, he has long been in line with science.

We entered a western-style cake shop, and I ordered a piece of cream cake and two egg tarts for the old man, and ordered milk tea and coffee for him to choose from. Leftover change.

Sitting on the sofa, Yue Lao looked at all kinds of delicacies in the constant temperature cabinet and said with emotion: "Oh, the world has been turned upside down. When I came last time, this kind of colored glaze was only affordable for rich and noble families, and it flew into the homes of ordinary people so soon. ' is."

"When was the last time you came to the world?"

"According to human time, it's 60 years."

"Oh, it's still the Qing Dynasty." I asked curiously, "What business do you have in the world?"

Yuelao took a bite of the cream, happily moved the cream with his tongue instead of chewing with his teeth, squinted his eyes and said, "It's delicious!" Then he said, "Actually, it's not an important business, my duty is to put it bluntly. Matching men and women for marriage and love, I go down to the realm every once in a while to facilitate dozens of pairs and hundreds of pairs before going back. It is a good thing, so it is to accumulate merit. For me, it is not only a matter of duty, but also a kind of Practice."

I said, "Then you don't have time for this job, you can come down when you want?"

"almost."

I said with emotion: "It is a merit to do something in office, and no one cares about it if you don't do it. It's easy for you civil servants."

Yuelao waved his hand and said, "It's very serious if you make a mistake. In our kind of thing, if you do a hundred things right, no one will say hello. If you do one wrong thing, you will be a big fool."

I was surprised and said, "How can something go wrong?"

Yuelao said: "For example, if there are two people who shouldn't be together and you match them together, then the resentment of these two people will be enough to offset your merits of making a hundred pairs, so I am very difficult to do this job, I can only be cautious. , not seeking merit but seeking no faults.”

I said: "Then you simply just be lazy and don't do anything."

Yuelao curled his lips and said: "As long as you are smart, people in the heaven are all fools, right? You still have to do what you are supposed to do, and the Dragon King will be punished for making mistakes. Can you not make mistakes all year round? ?”

"Oh, Heavenly Court also has a year-end assessment, right?"

Yuelao was stunned for a moment and said: "Yes, yes, you use this word well." The old man complained, "So actually I don't want to do it for a long time, but I don't have a suitable successor, so I can only rush the ducks to the shelves. "

I smiled and said, "Don't say that, how festive your job is."

Yue Lao said: "The one who carries the sedan chair and blows the trumpet is more festive than me."

"Oh, yes." I continued to ask, "Is it true that you tie red strings around the ankles of whoever you want to marry?"

"real."

Countless little stars appeared in my eyes and said, "Is your red line still rich?"

"What do you want?"

"Lend me 20 meters for fun." If I want to have this artifact, I will tie dozens of dead knots around my ankles and leave the other end empty. Later, when I see a girl going up, I will wrap the thread around my feet. Gao Fushuai is all war scum in front of me!

Yue Lao said hesitantly: "I can't give you this attitude towards you, do you think it's a fun thing?"

I snickered and said, "I'm just joking with you, I'm not the kind of person who messes around."

At this moment, Lin Hai called me and asked me if Liu Xiaoliu was with me. I glanced at Liu Xiaoliu and said, "What do you want?"

Lin Hai said coyly: "I want to ask her to come out for a while."

I asked Liu Xiaoliu directly: "Lin Hai treats you to tea, are you going?"

Liu Xiaoliu said expressionlessly, "I'll go."

I told Lin Hai, "She told you 'I'm going to go'."

Lin Hai said helplessly, "Xiaoqiang, stop playing with me, what do you mean?"

I smiled and said, "Come here." I told him the address, and I saw that Liu Xiaoliu didn't actually want to go out with Lin Hai, but that she felt bored with us. In her eyes, the really lacking master is stamped by a Civil Affairs Bureau, and there is no common language.

Lin Hai happened to arrive outside the cake shop after Yuelao had finished eating. We met at the door and I asked him, "Aren't you busy?"

Lin Hai smiled bitterly and said, "You don't know if I'm busy or not? Even if I'm busy, I have to find time to solve my personal problems."

I pouted and said, "I will leave my sister to you, and the rest will depend on your ability."

Lin Hai was about to express his humiliation to my stalking, when his phone rang suddenly.

"Okay, it's over." I knew that it would be no good for him to answer the phone.

Unexpectedly, Lin Hai glanced at the caller ID and showed a helpless expression. He hid aside and answered the phone directly: "Miss Mo, I told you not to call me when you have nothing to do. You also know the nature of my work... no no No, it's even worse at night, major and important cases are usually released at night." He said a few more casual words and almost hung up the phone by himself.

I asked cautiously, "Who called? This person is not only a woman, but also seems to be interested in you, right?" After asking, I felt a sense of relief. There are not many opportunities to question the captain of the criminal police with such righteous words!
Lin Hai said awkwardly: "Don't mention it, do you still remember the gun case at the door of Professor Mo last time?"

"Well, what's the matter? Oh, that woman is Professor Mo's granddaughter Mo Jiaojiao, right?"

"It's her. She has been entangled with me for some reason since the last time. She calls several times a day, but nothing happens."

I smiled and said, "I'm fascinated by your heroic appearance." I leaned over and whispered, "That girl is also pretty good, and you are a hero to save the beauty, so it's normal for someone to show you your body."

Lin Hai said seriously: "I'm afraid of this!"

"How to say?"

"This kind of thing is not uncommon in our line of work. Several of my comrades in arms got married under such circumstances, but none of them could live in peace. When we showed our glory, women regarded us as Bonds, but it took a long time. They will find that Bonds are not so glamorous and mighty most of the time. More importantly, Bonds have no time to accompany them shopping and watching movies, let alone cook and take care of their children. After the aura of heroes fades, they become irresponsible husbands. , The contrast between before and after marriage is too great, so I must never marry a 'fan', don't harm others, and avoid detours myself."

I was speechless and said, "I just said something casually to attract such deep complaints from you. Maybe Mo Jiaojiao can be a good wife and mother after she gets married?"

Lin Hai chuckled and said, "Let's be honest, I'm not interested in her."

This time I was completely speechless, so I pushed Liu Xiaoliu and said, "Hurry up and leave with this heavy taste."
