"It's all rumors, do you want to listen to them" After a while, Qi Lu put down the teacup, stared at Ding Xiaolan and smiled.
Ding Xiaolan didn't know why, and responded with a smirk: "Immortals also gossip" "No amount of gossip can stop your heart from listening to gossip."
Qi Lu sighed, knowing that if she didn't satisfy Ding Xiaolan's curiosity today, she would definitely haunt herself, so she continued: "A god once told me that there is actually no monster like Xiaoqing, she is just another incarnation of the White Snake to test her husband's loyalty. ” "Ah, it's really fake, which god said it" "The mount of the Golden Emperor is what the two big golden dragons told me."
"You also believe the words of the animals" Ding Xiaolan chuckled, and then asked: "What other rumors?"
"The love between Xu Xian and the White Snake is not as beautiful as the world says, it is said that after Xu Xian found out that his wife was a monster, he personally went to invite Fahai of Jinshan Temple to collect the White Snake.
The White Snake was not crushed under the Leifeng Tower, and Fahai did not say that the West Lake was dry, and the Leifeng Tower was like this."
"Enough, the more you talk, the more unpleasant it becomes" Ding Xiaolan covered her ears.
Such a poignant folklore was said by Qi Lu beyond recognition, which made her still listen to it.
"I said it was a rumor, and you were too curious."
Qi Lu looked calm.
"People like you, I'm really wronged by you for not being an entertainment reporter."
Ding Xiaolan gave him a blank look and ignored it.
Qi Lu raised his glass to drink tea disapprehantly, but Lao Wu spoke leisurely, "What are you doing with such a distant matter, let's talk about the present." ” "There's something strange in front of you," Ding Xiaolan asked.
"Nope."
Lao Wu quietly pointed to Xu Jingqiao, who was stir-frying vegetables behind him, with his hand, and asked Qi Lu quietly: "You have observed the condition of this kid clearly."
"Almost, it's a little weird."
"Do you want to help him, but we don't have any money to make."
There seemed to be some regret in Lao Wu's words.
"It's all already bumped into, can you not help?"
Listening to the mysterious conversation between the two of them, Ding Xiaolan realized that Qi Lu agreed to come to Xu Jingqiao to eat here with another deep meaning, she quickly pulled Qi Lu's sleeve and said, "Are you hiding something from me again?"
"It's not been a short time to mess with me, you don't see it" "What the hell is it, tell me quickly" "It stands to reason that we have surpassed Xiaojuan's ghost, so the dead air in Xu Jingqiao's forehead should also come to naught."
"Isn't that so?"
"It's not."
Qi Lu said in a deep voice: "The dead qi on his forehead not only did not dissolve, but became thicker. ” "How is this possible" Ding Xiaolan's face was full of shock, but it could be seen that Qi Lu and Lao Wu didn't seem to be joking.
At this time, the rich aroma of vegetables came to the nostrils, but it was just a blink of an eye, and Xu Jingqiao had already served five or six dishes.
"Everyone, please use it slowly, how about trying my craft" "See it clearly this time," Qi Lu whispered to Ding Xiaolan.
"Hmm."
Ding Xiaolan saw it really this time, Xu Jingqiao's forehead was not only entangled with black gas, but also connected between his eyebrows.
"It's delicious, it's delicious" Lao Wu swallowed a piece of fish meat and said: "Xiao Xu, this West Lake vinegar fish is not only sweet and sour, but also has a bit of crab flavor in the fish, you really have nothing to say about your craftsmanship."
Look at his greedy look, he has long forgotten all about the deathly breath in Xu Jingqiao's forehead.
"Mr.
Wu has won the prize."
Xu Jingqiao hurriedly poured him wine.
Is it so exaggerated Ding Xiaolan also put a piece of fish meat into her small mouth to taste it in disbelief, and found that what Lao Wu said was not an exaggeration at all.
The delicious delicacies immediately made Ding Xiaolan have an appetite, and when she finished eating this piece of fish and went to eat the vinegar fish, she found that in less than two minutes, the whole fish body had been divided between Lao Wu and Qi Lu, and only the head and tail of the fish remained.
This made Ding Xiaolan angry, she put the chopsticks on the table angrily, and stared at Qi Lu and Lao Wu with a small mouth.
Lao Wu laughed wryly, and hurriedly clinked glasses with Xu Jingqiao to hide the embarrassment in his heart.
Qi Lu sighed and said, "A long time ago, I was also a foodie, but then I quit this problem. ” "Eating is also a problem, it's really weird" Ding Xiaolan said angrily: "The two of you, one quit smoking and the other quit drinking, which is the most important thing to do" "Miss Ding, how does this dish taste" Xu Jingqiao put a plate of Dongpo meat in front of her that Qi Lu hadn't had time to move his chopsticks.
Looking at the braised pork on the plate, Ding Xiaolan was about to say that she was not suitable for weight loss to eat this dish, but the tempting aroma had prompted her to involuntarily pick up a piece and put it in her mouth to taste.
"This meat can actually give you fat but not greasy, give you a hundred likes" After speaking, she picked up another piece.
"I started making this dish in the morning, and I have been simmering in the stove for a long time, Miss Ding eats it slowly, be careful of scalding."
Hearing this, Ding Xiaolan was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Xu Jingqiao to not only cook good dishes, but also be very considerate, no wonder Xiaojuan would like him.
In an instant, the original image of the timid and cowardly little man had quietly changed in Ding Xiaolan's heart.
Qi Lu was about to raise his glass to drink, but suddenly put down his glass, his nose shaking slightly.
"Xiao Xu, these dishes are enough for us to eat, why do you bother to add more dishes, we can't finish it, it's a waste."

Xu Jingqiao said with a smile: "There are no dishes, I made these dishes today."
If you don't dislike it, I'll add a few more dishes in the evening. ” "There are no dishes" Qi Lu looked surprised.
"This smell" Lao Wu also put down his wine glass, he already smelled a smell of blood.
Several people were silent, and if this was not the fishy smell of slaughtered poultry, then where did it come from?
Xu Jingqiao didn't care, he got up, opened the window, glanced out of the lake, and said indifferently: "This smell is really bad, but it will disappear in a few minutes." ” Could it be the fishy smell emitted by the dead fish in the lake Qi Lu was slightly stunned, and also got up and looked out the window.
The rain had stopped, and there were no dead animals or anything on the surface of the lake, only an open oil-paper umbrella floating half-sinking and half-floating on the water, and the smell of blood came from the surface of the umbrella.
The oil-paper umbrella seems to have been abandoned in the lake for many years, with holes everywhere and a few wisps of aquatic weeds hanging from the edges.
Just when Qi Lu wanted to observe more carefully, the oil-paper umbrella had sunk into the lake, and the fishy smell disappeared without a trace with its sinking.
"It's strange, it's just an oil-paper umbrella, how can it smell so bad" Qi Lu sat back on the bamboo chair.
"Mr.
Qi, you can see that broken umbrella" This time it was Xu Jingqiao's turn to be surprised.
"Of course I saw it" Qi Lu stopped talking halfway through the words, and he suddenly noticed that Xu Jingqiao's question was a little strange.
"Where is the umbrella" Ding Xiaolan and Lao Wu both stretched their heads out of the window to look at this time, but they didn't see the oil-paper umbrella.
"The umbrella has sunk to the bottom of the lake."
Qi Lu asked Xu Jingqiao quietly: "Xiao Xu, you just said that I can see this oil-paper umbrella, does it have any special meaning?"
"Alas," Xu Jingqiao sighed, and the familiar slightly melancholy look on his face appeared a few days ago.
Qi Lu asked: "Is there a story in this?"
"This oil-paper umbrella is usually only visible to me, and no one else can see it."
As if he had made up his mind, Xu Jingqiao raised his head and said, "But I forgot, Mr.
Qi is a mage with profound mana, so he can naturally see it." ” "And this kind of strange thing" Qi Lu couldn't help but glance at Lao Wu, and the eyes of both of them clearly told each other that there were no signs of supernatural just now.
Xu Jingqiao first toasted the two of them with a glass of wine before talking about what happened.
It turned out that Xu Jingqiao had been weak and often sick since he was a child, so his father asked Liu Yifan to show his son the second face, hoping to find the reason.
At that time, Liu Yifan not only saw the marriage fate of Xu Jingqiao in his childhood, but also found that he was born with a heavy yin spirit and was easy to provoke some unclean things.
The fact is indeed as Liu Yifan said, Xu Jingqiao has been able to see some strange things that ordinary people can't detect with the naked eye since he was a child, and he was a little uncomfortable at first, but after a long time, he became accustomed to it.
Let's take this oil-paper umbrella as an example, Xu Jingqiao first saw this umbrella when he was in elementary school, but his parents who were with him at the time couldn't see this umbrella.
Later, he saw this oil-paper umbrella many times in West Lake, and the people who were also with him could not see it.
Only Xu Jingqiao can see it, and of course, Qi Lu can be regarded as the second person to see it today.
Xu Jingqiao was still a little scared when he saw this oil-paper umbrella for the first few times, but he saw it more often, and he found that although this umbrella exuded a strong smell of blood every time, it slowly sank to the bottom of the lake after a few minutes of appearing in front of him, but in fact it did not cause any harm to himself, so he faced it indifferently.
"Strange things, strange things" After listening to Xu Jingqiao's statement, Lao Wu slapped the table again and again, regretting that he couldn't see the oil-paper umbrella in time just now because of greed.
"It's just the most inconspicuous of all the oddities I've ever encountered."
"Yes, if you have any other strange things, you might as well tell us about it" Qi Lu became interested.
Xu Jingqiao put down his wine glass and talked endlessly, but the next words were nothing more than some encounters with ghosts on night roads, the image of a woman in white always appeared in nightmares, or common supernatural phenomena such as ghosts hitting the wall and getting lost.
Just when he was tired of it, the last supernatural thing Xu Jingqiao said not only attracted Qi Lu's attention, but also made Lao Wu and Ding Xiaolan stunned.
This is a strange dream, Xu Jingqiao has repeated this dream since he was a child, he can't remember. freeti0 t1706231537:
