The Urban Legends of Monsters: Hu Bugui (Part 1)

The streets in the residential area that are not crowded during the daytime become lively when it gets dark. People who have had dinner come to the roadside to enjoy the shade, playing poker, chess, and chatting. Children playfully flutter under the lights. Catching bugs, Zhang's parent, Li Jiaduan, is a daily compulsory course for these old neighbors. Here, national events have the same status as the news that the Chen family brought the girl home to meet her parents. But today, the appearance of a stranger has caused everyone to put aside the discussion of big events such as whose child did well in this exam, and turned their attention to him.

The young man standing under the street lamp didn't see where he came from, and no one noticed when he appeared there. The young man seemed to be waiting and looking for something, his head looking around like a rattle. This young man was dressed in a blue and white robe, with a jade belt around his waist, and a long sword with a scabbard full of not just real and fake gems. He had black leather boots on his feet, long hair on his head, and a hosta pinned to his head. His brows were full of vigour and handsomeness, which attracted many passers-by to stop and watch, and there was a lot of discussion around him.

"Where did this person come from? The guy looks very energetic, why does he seem to have something wrong with his brain?"

"Wearing like this, probably for acting?"

"Dongguan Hospital (the psychiatric hospital in Lixin City is located in Dongguan, the old city, so citizens generally call it Dongguan Hospital. For example: It's time to send you to Dongguan Hospital, which means to send the other party to the mental hospital) ) escaped?"

"Most of the actors were filming nearby, and the actors came out without changing their clothes."

"Is this the actor there? He looks quite handsome, and he will definitely become popular in the future. Why don't we ask him to sign his name now?"

"Children are not allowed to approach him! I don't know if he bites or not. Let's call 110, shall we?"

…

No matter how loud the crowd's discussion was, the young man looked around without looking around. For a while he looked at the residential building with his eyes straight, and for a while at the neon lights in the distance, he even reached out to touch the lampposts on the side of the road, full of curiosity about everything, and his mouth was full of curiosity. He also muttered in admiration for the bright lights around him. After a long time like this, he seemed to remember something, looked around and said to himself, "I figured that Zhou Ying should be around here, why didn't I see him? Am I wrong? These gentlemen, please excuse me, Do you have someone named Zhou Ying here?"

When the crowd watching saw him, they immediately dispersed, leaving him on the spot. The young man scratched his head in embarrassment: "Why are the people here so inhospitable... Huh? What is this..." The young man looked at the taxi slowly parked beside him and began to look curious again, kicking the tires with his feet. He raised his hand and patted the front of the car, then leaned down to touch the window and fiddled with the wipers. Then, through the window glass, he saw an ordinary face of an acquaintance with a dull expression: "Zhou Ying, I'm looking for you." The young man cried out happily.

Just as Zhou Ying dropped a guest off the bus, he was startled by the person in front of him. He was too frightened to speak for a long time. The two looked at each other for a long time. The young man stretched out his hand and slapped the front of the car with a smile and said, "How do I get this thing up? Do you want me to get in by myself?" Opened the door for him.

The young man looked at it again and again, and got into it with a short body: "Humans are really good at pondering. There are so many new things that I'm blinded. This iron tortoise is not bad, but it's a little short, so you have to bow your head when you come in." He patted left and right in the car and urged Zhou Ying: "Let's go, let it move like you did just now."

Zhou Ying finally asked, "Where are you going?"

The young man said stunned: "Of course I'm going to your house! Why don't you welcome me?"

"Oh, go to my house, go to my house..." Zhou Ying murmured and started the car mechanically before asking, "What are you doing here?"

"Looking for you, looking for Liu Di and Nanyu, I don't know anyone here. You are a real stranger. After all, I have entertained you for a while, you won't ignore me, will you? At least let me express Welcome."

Zhou Ying couldn't sincerely welcome him. He drove the car with his head down for a while, suddenly remembered something, grabbed his mobile phone and dialed Liu Di, listening to Liu Di talking on the phone to himself. After a long time, he said: "Liu Di, Meng Shu is here, he is in my car now, he is going to my house." There was silence on the other end of the phone, and after a long time, a sentence came: "I will wait at your house. ."

"Are you talking to Liu Di? What kind of stuff is this? Show me." Meng Shu smiled and stretched out his hand for the phone, put it in his ear to listen, and broke it into two pieces with great interest. Looking at the structure inside.

Zhou Ying said: "I haven't told Nan Yu that you are here."

Meng Shu immediately wiped it with his hand and handed the phone back intact: "Do you want to use this? Then tell me first."

Zhou Ying was silent for a moment: "It's broken." Nan Yu had to be notified in advance of such a thing. When Zhou Ying was thinking of using other methods to contact Nan Yu, Meng Shu had already said to himself: "Nan Yu, I am I'm here, I'm going to Zhou Ying's house." After saying that, he pointed his finger, and the words flew out of the car window and went all over the city to look for Nan Yu.

Because Meng Shu asked Zhou Ying to stop when he saw everything on the road, when Zhou Ying finally brought Meng Shu home, Liu Di and Nan Yu were already waiting here.

Zhou Ying pushed Meng Shu, who was still admiring the security door, to enter the door, and saw Liu Di sitting upright on the sofa, Nan Yu was sitting on the farthest seat from Liu Di. Staring at the door, Zhou Ying and Meng Shu stood up as soon as they entered. In the kitchen, Gui'er was secretly sticking out her head and looking up and down at Meng Shu, but when Meng Shu's eyes turned to her, she immediately retreated into the kitchen. Meng Shu first said hello to Nan Yu and Liu Di, and then looked at the kitchen with a sullen face: "Zhou Ying, you are so polite, I just prepared such a sumptuous meal when I arrived, hehe, it's really fragrant, there is my favorite fried bamboo shoots. Dragon turtle, right?"

Liu Di looked at his greedy face, and reluctantly shouted to the kitchen: "Gui'er don't hide, bring out the dishes for the 'guests' to eat."

Gui'er angrily stretched out her head and shouted, "This is a late-night snack for Huo'er..." But when she saw Meng Shu, she stopped and obediently brought out two dishes from the kitchen. Before Gu'er put down the dishes and left, she saw Meng Shu picking up a plate in one hand and pouring the "crash" into his mouth, stretched his neck and swallowed it, then licked his tongue and said, "It's delicious, is there anything else? ?"

Gui'er's mouth widened in surprise at his appearance even worse than Huo'er: Didn't Zhou Ying and Nan Yu say that although he has a quirky personality, on the surface he is a very educated young man? What does it look like now, how can it not only be very thick-skinned, but also look like a fire! Meng Shu's eyes stopped on Gui'er and said with a smile: "The girl's craftsmanship is really good, can you please bring me a pair of chopsticks when you bring the dishes out. Such a big snake can't change the problem of swallowing food, so I ask everyone Joke."

Rose resignedly returned to the kitchen to serve her hard-worked meals.

The room was very quiet, except for Meng Shu's snoring, no one else said a word. Liu Di looked in the mirror and straightened his hair. Zhou Ying sat opposite Meng Shu in a daze, and Gui'er was in a daze. Relying on Nan Yu's courage, he hid behind her to watch Meng Shu. After a while, when Meng Shu was about to end the meal, Nan Yu finally opened his mouth: "Meng Shu, what are you doing here?"

Meng Shu looked up at Nan Yu in surprise: "Zhou Ying asked me the same thing when he met. Liu Di is fine, I won't even welcome you two!"

Nan Yu looked at Liu Di, who said "it's okay", the latter just shrugged and didn't want to help, Nan Yu had to continue to say to Meng Shu: "I always thought you wouldn't like the current world. I think if not You're not coming here for something."

"That's right," Meng Shu nodded. "Besides coming to see you, I actually want to ask you for a favor."

The room fell silent again. Everyone was thinking about letting this terrifying, unreasonable, and abnormally mentally ill scourge of ten thousand years find someone for help.

"I just want to find you guys to help me find a 'person'," Meng Shu said in a very relaxed tone, "You guys have lived here for so long, such a trivial matter is nothing to you." He said while saying He raised the empty plate to Gui'er, "Miss Shangui, another plate, your craftsmanship is really good—you know that I haven't been in contact with humans for a long time, and I don't understand any rules. If something goes wrong, it's not good, right?"

Nan Yu carefully confirmed: "Is the person you're talking about a human?"

"Hahahaha, look at my brain, when I was there, was it still a 'human'?" Meng Shu patted his head and laughed.

Liu Di folded his hands behind his head and slammed into the sofa and said, "Hey, that's a monster! Why, are you still playing the game of using monsters as dolls?"

"I haven't done this recently. Didn't those monsters let go with you? It's because I haven't done that for a long time, and I was so bored that I wanted to tidy up my place, but I found that one important thing was missing. .I think about it, it must have been stolen at 'that' time, and I have no choice but to come here to find it."

"What is it?" Liu Di asked in a lazy tone. He was very curious about what was missing to make Meng Shu so anxious, so he ran out to find it himself.

Meng Shu swallowed a few more dishes, and looked at Gui'er again with a smile, and Gui'er said alertly: "No, no more, what's left is Huo'er's supper, it will grow big if it doesn't get full It's a mess."

"Huo'er? Is that the one you've been looking for?" Meng Shu wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and took a sip before answering Liu Di: "It's a magic weapon, it's very important to me."

"Why is something so important? Let's hear it." Liu Di asked the truth.

"Why do you ask so much?"

"No help if you don't tell me"

"I will stay here if I don't help you."

"You can live on and talk about it."

"I won't transform it if the environment is not good!"

Meng Shu and Liu Di are threatening each other with each other's words. Their eyes are facing each other. The distance between the two heads is getting closer and closer. The words are filled with the smell of fire. For Meng Shu, there is no such "land head" as Liu Di. It is really difficult to find someone or something in the crowd with the help of the wolf, and for Liu Di, it is too dangerous for a super "monster" like Meng Shu to stay in Lixin City, especially Meng Shu's mental state is obviously not the same. It's unstable. If he thinks of creating a "Shu Kingdom" here one day, the world will be in chaos.

Just as they stared at each other with big eyes like cockfighting, Meng Shu suddenly raised his head and looked out the window. With his solemn gaze, everyone saw that Huo'er was singing some song in the sky, staggering and flying over Lin Rui from a distance. At this moment, even Zhou Ying was sweating, and everyone's minds came up with the image of a duel between the giant snake and Bifang on the ruins of the city.

After flying close to the building, Lin Rui jumped into the window on the fifth floor, Huo'er yawned and flew into the room: "I'm back, I'm eating... Haha, I'm sleepy, eat and go to bed... ...Why are you all looking at me? Hey, Nan Yu, are you here to tell me a story? Welcome! Also, this... what is this?" It finally noticed Meng Shu: the monster was hiding so well , I couldn't be unaware of his existence for the first time. What kind of monster is it? Huo'er looked up and down around Meng Shu.

"Huo'er, he is Meng Shu." Zhou Ying said quickly.

"Hehehe, this is the only Bifang in the human world? It's the first time I've seen such a small Bifang." Meng Shu reached out and touched Huo'er's head. Except for Zhou Ying, Gui'er, Nan Yu and Lin Rui, no one dared to take the initiative to touch Huo'er. Huo'er also hated being touched. In his own words: "I'm not a puppy." Now Meng Shuyi When they met, they treated it like this. In the eyes of everyone, they saw Huo'er's feathers stand upright, and his eyes were shining. Obviously, it was about to break out, and a devastating war was about to break out.

Meng Shu was looking around in his arms and didn't pay attention to Huo'er's performance: "I remember that it was placed in... ah, I found it. I'm so sorry to bother you, please accept a small thought. Let's go." After speaking, he started to take things out one by one, "This is the jade paste and five-flavored fruit produced in Kunlun. Eating it can increase your cultivation level, but unfortunately the ones obtained thousands of years ago are not very fresh (this one is not very fresh). It's for Zhou Ying); these are the messy specialties of these messy places, some are for curing diseases, some can eat dead people, you must use them (this is for Nanyu); I don't know what these are It's been too long and I forgot how I got here, so I'll just give it to you (this is for Liu Di); and Miss Shangui, I don't know if I'll meet you and I didn't prepare anything specially, here are some seeds of Xuncao, You are a mountain ghost, maybe you can grow and live in the human world; these are..." Meng Shu kept bringing out all kinds of strange gifts in accordance with the principle of politeness and no blame. Looking at Meng Shu's shoulder, he took it out from his arms and asked, "Is there anything else? Is there anything else? What's next?"

Meng Shu's things piled up in half the room and finally stopped: "These are all things I cleaned up a few days ago, I brought them as a small gift, come here, you're welcome, put them away ."

Liu Di murmured loudly: "It's just treating this place as a waste recycling station."

Huo'er doesn't care if these things are "scrap". It grew up in the world, and many things have been heard and never seen. The temperament of a child is always very happy when he sees novel things. He immediately uses his wings to sweep into it and Zhou Ying's bedroom, and pat Meng Shu's The head said: "You are so polite, unlike some people who come to eat every day and don't even bring a goose feather! I allow you to come to my house as a guest, and I will accept all your gifts, hahahaha." It was really intended to take it all by himself without any humility.

Although Huo'er accepted Meng Shu's existence, everyone was relieved, but its welcome to Meng Shu did not represent the views of others. Meng Shu didn't seem to know that he was unpopular at all. He got together with Liu Di, Nan Yu, and Zhou Ying all stood up immediately, a large group of people followed behind him, and even Huo'er flew over, Zhou Ying stood on his head, Nan Yu stopped on his shoulder, his eyes He kept staring at Meng Shu, and finally flew to the ear of Gui'er who was hiding in the kitchen and asked, "Gu'er, if he shows his true form, can our refrigerator fit in?"

As soon as he said this, the whole room became quiet, and everyone's eyes turned to Meng Shu.

"Oh, what is a refrigerator?" Meng Shu asked casually.

Huo'er enthusiastically led him to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and showed him: "If you put anything here, it will be frozen, and it won't go bad for a long time. You see, these 'meat' are all hunted by me. .”

Meng Shu suddenly blinked: "So you want to eat me."

"Unfortunately, I may not be able to beat you." Huo'er sighed regretfully. Although it is used to being arrogant, it is still willing to admit to the strong, knowing how difficult it is to deal with a big monster like Meng Shu. It patted Meng Shu's shoulder with its wings: "Although you can't eat your mouth, you can come to me to have a look at the original shape, okay? Such a big meat must look very satisfying, right? I promise to just look at it and not steal a single bite. eat."

Meng Shu smiled: "This place will collapse."

"Then go outside, I know a big square." Huo'er immediately pushed him out, it seemed that it was really eager to see what such a big pile of "meat" looked like.

"This city will collapse." Meng Shu was a little confused about how big "this city" was. In his conception, a city was what his era looked like, a square one with walls built around it. The total area is not bigger than his body. If he showed his true shape, he would collapse the house and crush people and animals, so he immediately rejected Huo'er's suggestion. Liu Di nodded secretly, at least it could be seen that Meng Shu was still focused on maintaining the safety of human beings. As long as he was not stimulated to go crazy, Lixin City would not be destroyed for a while.

Huo'er doesn't care about the safety of the city at all: "It doesn't matter, it's nothing to collapse one or two buildings, come and show me! I'll bring the fox to see it together!" He flew out and called Lin Rui .

As soon as Huo'er left, Meng Shu suddenly looked at Liu Di with a smile: "Then it's better for me to be respectful than to obey, but it's changed?"

Liu Di did not speak with a gloomy face.

"Hehehehe, where and how good?"

Liu Di knew that he had gotten the disadvantage, so he bowed his head and said nothing.

"It's inevitable that one or two buildings will collapse and 100 people will be killed or injured, hehehehe." At this time, Meng Shu's magnetic voice was extremely harsh.

"Who the **** are you looking for?" Liu Di finally chose to compromise and said listlessly. Zhou Ying and Nan Yu could only follow his lead in this matter, waiting for him to negotiate with Meng Shu.

Meng Shu's victory was overwhelmed with a smile on his face. He snapped his fingers triumphantly and said, "I only remember that she is a woman and a snake spirit. I don't remember anything else."

Although Liu Di knew that he would have problems, he couldn't help frowning when he heard these words: "This is the end, so how can you find it for you! Even if you don't say what was stolen, you will always talk about yours. How was it stolen by her? I don't know the details, how can I find it? Could it be that you fell into someone's beauty plan?"

"Whoever fell for the beauties, you thought they were all the same as you." Meng Shu said angrily, "It wasn't because a monster who was teleported to me once did it. She was teleported to me at that time. (Meng Shu has set up a lot of entrances and exits in the human world, and he can directly transmit the monsters into the space he built, and then use these monsters as props to play family games), it was originally to be dealt with as a routine (deprive the memory of the monsters) I used them to play various roles), but she said she was my daughter at the time. Seeing that she was also a snake spirit and knew a lot about my past, I believed it, so I didn’t touch her, but I was kind enough to keep her there. I lived there for a while. Who knew she would steal my things." It's really embarrassing for such a big monster like Meng Shu, and he couldn't help but blushed a little.

Rose was the first to call out: "You don't even know your own daughter? This can make people cheat!"

"After living for so long, I have married hundreds of wives. As for the children... Hahaha, I can't remember..." Meng Shu scratched his head embarrassedly.

The room was silent, all eyes were on him, and then from Liu Di to Zhou Ying, everyone began to shake their heads. Liu Di grabbed Nan Yu's hand and shouted, "You hear it, hear it! You can't marry such a person anyway! I would rather marry Zhou Ying at the critical moment!" Gui'er grabbed a package of Meng Shu's gifts and threw it on the ground. on his head.

Huo'er didn't know when Lin Rui came back to the side and listened to Meng Shu's speech quietly. At this time, he shouted angrily: "Don't interrupt, Chang insect, you continue to tell, continue to tell." He listened to the story. Addiction was hooked, and he simply flew to Meng Shu's lap and urged: "What happened after that? Is she your daughter? Why did you steal something from you? Is it because you didn't fulfill your parenting responsibilities and was taken by her as child support? already?"

Lin Rui lightly jumped to the side from Huo'er's back. He pulled Nan Yu's shirt and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? What is this monster doing?" - He knew that it was absolutely necessary to ask Zhou Ying or Gui'er. He couldn't find the answer he wanted, so he found the most trustworthy Nan Yu. Nan Yu whispered Meng Shu's request to him. Lin Rui frowned and pondered, having a monster like Meng Shu appear so close to his mother that he was really worried.

"This... I don't know why she stole my things... Maybe she really isn't my daughter?" Meng Shu's face became more and more red as everyone's "judgment" looked at him, "I was skeptical. I don't know if she's my real daughter, but she knows a lot of my private affairs with... and her mother, so I still didn't hurt her. After living with me for a few days, she said she was leaving, so I took her away Let go."

"And then? Then what?" Huo'er stretched his neck and asked, "And then Zhou Ying, Liu Di and the others came to me..."

"Oh, I heard them say, you are full of monsters, right? When will you invite me to visit, I like this kind of place." Huo'er said almost drooling.

"There are not so many now. I knew you would like to keep a few for you." Meng Shu patted Huo'er.

Liu Di interrupted and said, "Didn't you say let go of all the monsters there? Why is it 'not so many' again?"

Meng Shu smiled but did not answer.

"Ignore the dog and continue talking, what happened later?" Huo'er still focused on the story.

"Later, after Liu Di and the others left me, I let go of the monsters I collected and felt that I had nothing to do all day, so I planned to tidy up the mess at hand. Only then did I realize that I had lost one. This is a very important magic weapon. After many calculations, that thing can only be lost when the so-called daughter came, so I chased after the world to find her, and finally found this city according to my calculations. I didn't expect such a coincidence You live here, Liu Di, Zhou Ying, you are local snakes here, I rely on you, I will show you how she looked at the time, hehehe, hard work."

Huo'er stared and asked, "This is the end? This is the end of the story?"

Meng Shu said: "This is not a story, this is what I asked Zhou Ying and the others to help with. Do you like listening to stories?" Huo'er nodded vigorously. Meng Shu laughed and said, "I'm the best at telling stories. What story do you want to hear? Come to me! Come on, let me tell you a story of myself. It was a long, long time ago, when I was still in Shu. , I was sleeping in the mountain one day, and a group of people came to play with my tail inexplicably, so I collapsed the mountain and buried them under it..."

"You have such a good temper, if anyone dares to pull my tail while I'm sleeping, I'll give him a five-year-old!"

“…”

Liu Di and Zhou Ying looked at each other for a long time, and they both shook their heads...

"Washing powder, transparent soap, body wash, shampoo..." When Xiaomei Ou rushed through the washing supplies area with a shopping cart that was half full in the food area, she quickly said what she needed to buy. Stuff is swept from the shelf into the shopping cart. Then he grabbed a notebook for his husband when he passed by the office supplies area, and finally pushed the big cart and staggered towards the cashier. She sneaked out to buy while the baby was asleep. If she couldn't get back before the little guy woke up, it would be strange if he couldn't see his mother and didn't cry.

The cashier already had some impressions of this housewife who had been shopping frantically in the past few days, and she helped her calculate the price neatly. Ou Xiaomei paid the price without looking at the bill carefully, then rushed out the door with a large bag in one hand and ran towards home. She only cared about the children at home, and didn't notice that someone was passing by. She couldn't hold back for a while and saw that she was about to bump into someone, only to hear a sound of "crashing", Ou Xiaomei and her two big bags were together. Falling to the ground, the man who was about to be hit jumped to the side in an instant, Xiaomei Ou looked at the black-purple liquid flowing out of the bag, and knew that the soy sauce she bought had been smashed to pieces, and the other pickles and vinegar were also unknown. Is it still intact. Ou Xiaomei didn't know what to do for a while. If she went back to buy it, she was afraid that the baby at home would wake up.

"Beauty, are you all right?"

After hearing this voice, little girl Ou spent half a minute trying to figure out if she was calling her. It wasn't until the other party's hand reached out in front of her to pull her up that she was sure that the other party was talking to her. Beauty? Just a unkempt housewife or a beauty? Ou Xiaomei really has nothing to say about this person's aesthetics. She rejected the opponent's hand and stood up by herself, and began to check the contents of the bag: the soy sauce and a bottle of chili sauce shattered, and the dripping liquid made the other things unrecognizable, and she didn't know if they were still intact, Ou Xiaomei sighed I threw everything off the soy sauce and put it in another bag.

"Ah, it actually caused you to drop something, sin, sin..." The voice exclaimed again exaggeratedly. Ou Xiaomei didn't take a look at this man until now. After seeing it, she couldn't help but be a little surprised: this man who only listened to the glib voice actually had a good appearance. In any case, Xiaomei Ou will not reject seeing the handsome guy. She smiled and shrugged at the man who was lamenting the unfortunate fate of soy sauce and chili sauce, thinking about whether the child was awake or not, and was going home first. .

"It's my fault that I didn't see you in front of me and caused you to hit something. Well, I'll compensate you. If you want cash, I'll buy it for you." The man patted his chest to express himself responsible for this "accident".

Although Ou Xiaomei was screaming bad luck because of this accident, she knew very well that the accident happened because she walked too fast and didn't pay attention to what happened ahead. "It was me who was not careful, it would be good if I didn't bump into you."

The man stopped her from letting her go, and insisted on paying for her soy sauce and chili sauce: "I have always respected women the most, and there is no reason to not pay for things that have broken beautiful women, you can't I ruined my reputation! I must pay, I must pay!"

What does this have to do with I's name? Ou Xiaomei sighed that it was a pity that he was born with such a handsome face. It turned out that his brain was not very bright. I don't know if the baby is awake, and I have no time to entangle with her. She pushed the other party away and ran quickly towards the home. The man followed behind and shouted, "Leave me an address, so I can buy it and pay you!". Ou Xiaomei quickened her pace and left him without a trace in a while.

Liu Di watched Miss Ou disappear at the corner of the street, with a strange smile, and staggered to the other side of the street.

Although Meng Shu is not a monster that everyone likes, Huo'er has a good relationship with him. When Zhou Ying, Liu Di and the others were busy outside all day for his entrustment, he and Huo'er wandered around, causing trouble and making Lixin City uneasy. According to Liu Di's incomplete statistics, at least one-third of the monsters in Lixin City have made the decision to move because of the "alliance" between Meng Shu and Huo'er.

Today, Rose just finished cooking, and the two of them flew in from the window swaying, and Huo'er was still chattering non-stop: "I really admire you more and more, such a big crane, You crawl off all of a sudden."

"You made me turn into a snake to show you..." Meng Shu wrote "It's not my fault" on his face, "But what modern people make is too weak, how can you turn it into a plate? Broken? It's Zhou Ying's brother, I really didn't expect your fists to be so good! What kind of hatred does that crane have with you? You want to beat it to pieces?"

Zhou Ying came in behind them, speechless at Meng Shu's words. It took a lot of his brains to deal with the twist-like crane that Meng Shu had twisted just now. In the end, after thinking about it, he simply used his fists and feet to break the crane, so that humans can't see the traces of being twisted by snakes. Most importantly, nothing else can be taken care of.

After entering the door, Meng Shu sat down on the sofa and called out, "Miss Gui'er, what's there to eat today?"

After understanding Meng Shu's intentions, Liu Di held a small meeting and divided the work urgently for everyone. Gui'er is in charge of three meals a day, and in any case, Meng Shu must eat and drink well, lest he go to other monsters or humans because of his appetite; Zhou Ying is in charge of being Meng Shu's personal attendant, following him closely 24 hours a day. In addition to explaining things he didn't understand in the city, the main task was to deal with the aftermath, that is, no matter what happened to Meng Shu, Zhou Yinglai had to find a way to make up for it (Gui'er thinks Liu Di's allocation is extremely unfair. , simply leave the most arduous task to Zhou Ying alone); Nan Yu is responsible for the treatment of the wounded. This task is relatively easy. After all, it is unlikely that Meng Shu will hurt humans (not including accidental injuries), and the monsters can heal themselves to some extent, and they are not necessarily willing to "trouble" Nan Yu; finally, the most important and arduous task is to find someone (Actually, looking for a demon) Liu Di is solely responsible for it. Keep in touch and have a meet-up every two days to exchange information.

Except for the slight criticism from Rose, everyone basically agrees with this arrangement. After all, apart from Liu Di, no one else could accurately find a certain monster with no name or appearance in Lixin City. And at the same time, only Zhou Ying and Nan Yu can have some influence on the two disaster stars, Meng Shu and Huo'er.

After setting the cup and plate, Gui'er looked at Zhou Ying sympathetically: The days of following Meng Shu and Huo'er all day must be very sad. But her sigh didn't last long, because Meng Shu and Huo'er were vaguely clamoring for more dishes after a while. Rose sighed and walked to the kitchen: When will you find that monster? He had never placed so much hope on Liu Di.

There are always people coming and going outside the window of the hospital, and everyone seems to be in a hurry with a strange look on their face. Having been here for so long, this situation has never changed. Nan Yu held his cheeks out of the window in a daze, not even noticing the sound of footsteps approaching. Until the nurse opened the door and shouted: "Dr. Nan, hurry up! The patient number on the 19th bed is dead!"——The nurse said this, but she was slightly surprised at Nan Yu: what Dr. Nan looked like just now It looks very beautiful, if she is willing to dress herself up, she might be a beauty. You don't have to be called an old maid behind your back every day.

Of course, Nan Yu didn't know the nurse's cranky thoughts, and when she learned that the patient's condition that she was responsible for suddenly deteriorated, she stood up and ran to the ward in a hurry. The patient in bed 19 was already very ill, and another attack would probably kill him. Although Nan Yu does not use magic to treat patients casually, she is also very conscientious as a doctor with superb medical skills. If she delays the treatment of patients because she is in a daze, Nan Yu cannot help but feel guilty.

Unexpectedly, when Nan Yu rushed to the ward, all the treatment was over: the patient was lying on the bed and fell asleep, and the various indicators displayed on the instruments in front of the bed all turned to normal, and the patient's family members had wiped After drying up his tears, he was expressing his gratitude in front of a doctor whom Nan Yu was very unfamiliar with.

It was a young male doctor, with a baby face and a humble expression that made him look a bit like a student. When the director standing next to him introduced him and Nan Yu: "This is from our hospital. Dr. Nan Yu Nan, the best surgeon, this is Tian Youjun, who was transferred to us just now, and works in your department—fortunately he was there just now.”

"Hello Dr. Nan, I will give you more advice in the future." Tian Youjun smiled a little shyly, and said to Nan Yu: "I'm sorry, I didn't wait for you just now..."

"Thanks for your help, I just want to say thank you. You are welcome to our hospital, and we will cooperate more in the future." Nan Yu greeted him politely and thoughtfully. When the two shook hands with each other, Nan Yu was attracted by the faint breath coming from the other side, and frowned. Tian Youjun smiled brightly, but there was no difference.

Liu Di strolled in and sat on the sofa, reached out to tap the coffee table, and said, "Water."

Rose, who had been standing beside him for a long time, immediately served him clear tea.

Liu Di picked up the cup and drank it, and nodded again: "Rice."

Rose immediately brought out good wine and good food from the kitchen. Liu Di was not polite, he started eating and drinking, and from time to time he ordered Gui'er to do this and that, taking a towel for a while, adding soup for a while, choking again and asking for a beating, when Gui'er's endurance was about to reach At the limit, he finally finished the meal, lying on the sofa with his hands and feet spread out, picking his teeth, feeling his stomach and saying contentedly: "It's still a good craftsmanship..."

Rose hurriedly asked him, "You've had enough to eat and drink, how about that?"

Liu Di took a long breath: "The taste is okay..."

"What's going to work? I asked you what Meng Shu asked you about!"

"Trust me? It's us, me, Nan Yu, Zhou Ying, you... us! Now I'm the only one who is exhausted to death, the two of them are better, let it go, is it easy for me... ... making friends carelessly... life is miserable..."

"Don't complain, Zhou Ying should be complaining about following that Mengpi-face all day. Anyway, as long as that Mengpi-face is here, everyone's life will be difficult! Hurry up and find the monster he wants! "Gui Erhe was so brooding about Meng Shu's cheeky entanglement that she made three meals a day for herself, and gave him the nickname "Meng Pi Lian" behind his back. She was looking forward to this "skin-faced demon" all day long to get out of the way, and of course her hope was pinned on Liu Di. So these few days will be thoughtful service to Liu Di, good voice and good gas. But Liu Di doesn’t know what he’s doing these days. Every time he comes here, he eats and drinks a lot and then falls asleep. Gui’er asks him how things are going. Suspect.

"Actually, you've been spending a lot of time outside these days, haven't you done anything?" Rose made a bold assumption. Liu Di's answer to her was a series of grunts.

"The most unreliable guy in the world!" Rose defined angrily. She hurried back to the kitchen and started to prepare meals. Meng Shujia Huo'er's appetite was terrifying, so she had to be busy sorting ingredients, frying and frying all day long, and she didn't even have time to go to the store.

Even though Nan Yu's mind was 99% not used in hospital affairs because of Meng Shu's appearance recently, even if she only paid attention occasionally, the topic of Dr. Tian Youjun that got into her ears was often the topic of this. A young, handsome and friendly doctor is very popular among the unmarried nurses in the hospital. The news about who Dr. Tian talked to today, and who invited him to dinner today, regardless of whether Nan Yu paid attention or not, would flow from the mouths of those nurses incessantly. When the nurses saw Tian Youjun driving an imported car worth 400,000 to 500,000 yuan to work today, their interest in him reached a peak. So much so that when Tian Youjun came to Nanyu's office to discuss the patient's condition, several nurses followed closely behind him.

However, Nan Yu himself also has a good impression of Tian Youjun. Of course, this kind of affection has nothing to do with his appearance and how much the imported car is worth, but because he is a real doctor.

Tian Youjun is a dedicated doctor. His seriousness and concern for his patients make up a lot for his lack of experience. Tian Youjun's words on his lips are "the heart of a doctor's parents". He is also working hard to practice this sentence, and his concern for patients even extends beyond treatment. Nan Yu has seen him take the initiative to pay medical bills for patients with poor financial conditions at least ten times, and even eat steamed bread and boil water because he gave meals to children in the children's ward. According to Nan Yu's estimate, the money he donated to patients in the half month after he came to the hospital has far exceeded his one-month salary. It seems like those nurses have guessed that this Tian Youjun is really rich. The eldest young master of the family may not be sure.

Having been a doctor among human beings for a long time, I have seen too many Nan Yu's disappointment with some people in this industry. I have seen too many critically ill patients groaning and waiting, but the doctor who can do this kind of surgery is Because of the weight of the red envelope, doing things like appendectomy for the person who stuffed the red envelope, in her opinion, these people who only see money in their eyes are not qualified to be called doctors at all. However, there are still fewer and fewer doctors who can really put patients first, so when Nan Yu saw Tian Youjun treat every patient sincerely and seriously, he naturally had a good impression on this young doctor.

Tian Youjun also loves to talk to Nan Yu. Probably Nan Yu's medical skills and her lack of other intentions towards Tian Youjun are equally divided. But those nurses obviously didn't think so. As soon as Nan Yu and Tian Youjun came into contact, they stared at Nan Yu, the old maid, like a thief.

It was the same this time. Nan Yu and Tian Youjun didn't say a few words while looking at the patient's X-ray, when the nurses' chattering voices interrupted them. Nan Yu couldn't help frowning. She didn't mind the attitude of others towards her, but as a medical staff, it was intolerable for her not to take the patient's condition seriously. Just as he was about to slap his face down and order the expulsion, Tian Youjun had already started to persuade the nurses to leave with the smiling face. Nan Yu disapproved of his attitude, and using a gentle approach to these people would only make them gain an inch. Sure enough, those nurses acted coquettishly, and Tian Youjun talked about it, and didn't coax them away until he agreed to invite them to be a guest at home at night.

Tian Youjun scratched his head embarrassedly at Nan Yu, who was looking at him with a half-smile: "Since they have to go, I'll call my wife first to get ready-the house is messed up by the baby, I really don't know. How to receive guests.”

Nan Yu was a little surprised by these remarks: It turned out that the best husband in the eyes of the unmarried nurses in the hospital was a married man who had already married and had children. No wonder Nan Yu was surprised, Tian Youjun's natural baby face made him look at most in his early twenties. In a metropolis like Lixin City, very few young people of this age are in a hurry to get married and have children. "If you had told them your marital status earlier, maybe you wouldn't be bothered all day." Nan Yu kindly advised him.

Tian Youjun said embarrassedly: "They should all know." Since he came to work in this hospital, his resume has been flipped over countless times. In the whole hospital, Nan Yu is probably the only person who doesn't care about right and wrong. Know his family members, eight generations of ancestors, past experiences, etc.

Nan Yu shook his head in confusion. He was rushing to pursue a married man. What happened to the people now? It wasn't until Tian Youjun left after discussing the patient's affairs that Nan Yu remembered how strange he felt when he first met Tian Youjun. Maybe it had something to do with his wife? Maybe you need to find a nurse to inquire about Tian Youjun's family affairs. But Nan Yu gave up the idea in the next second, he has enough troubles now, as for Tian Youjun's wife, it is none of his business. She looked at the time and decided to leave work early to replace Zhou Ying. Zhou Ying's division of labor is too difficult, so Nan Yu will help him follow Huo'er and Meng Shu when he has time, so that he can take a breath.

After receiving a call from her husband to bring a colleague back for dinner, Xiaomei Ou generously offered two options for her husband to choose freely: "Do you want them to always think of our house in the future? Or do you want them to come after they come here? Don't want to come again? Well, I understand, I promise to complete the task, hehehehe... Who are you calling to be insidious, those who always attack my husband's ideas are insidious. If I don't tell you, I have to hurry up and prepare Hey, hey hey hey..."

Throwing down the phone, Miss Ou, who was looking forward to the guests who were to be entertained at night, put the baby in the stroller and walked out the door happily humming a song. But her good mood was immediately destroyed, and a handsome and messy smiling face appeared in front of her before she took a few steps to go out. The man rushed over to hold Ou Xiaomei's hands, and his face was distorted with an exaggerated expression: "My dear, I finally waited for you!"

Xiaomei Ou was so frightened that she stepped back several steps and asked, "You, who are you? What do you want to do?"

"Beauty, you won't have forgotten me, have you?" The beautiful man made a grief and tried to hit a tree, "It's me, you don't remember that day on the road, we met because of that beautiful accident... "

Actually, based on his appearance and behavior, Ou Xiaomei had a hard time remembering it. What surprised her was what this person wanted to do. Based on past experience, this kind of behavior is weird, and it is better to stay away from men who want to seduce women who are uncontrollable when they see women. Ou Xiaomei thought about it and wanted to detour, but who knew that the man followed her closely and continued to chat up: "Do you want to take the child out for a walk in such a good weather? Do you need me to drive you for a ride?"

Is the weather nice? Ou Xiaomei looked at the gloomy and humid sky that had not rained down for several days, she quickened her pace and walked towards the supermarket. Who knows that the man still followed suit: "Speaking of which, I still owe you several bottles of soy sauce and chili sauce. I will give it back to you today as an honor. By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Liu Di, Liu Dehua's Liu Dehua. , the land of the earth. How about you, beauty."

Xiaomei Ou, who was pushing a stroller away, was almost tripped by a stone and almost fell: I really hate names and hate it. Listening to him shouting that he wants to compensate himself, wouldn't he want to go to the supermarket with him all the time?

As he walked, Liu Di said to himself, "Why do you take your children to the supermarket? That kind of place has bad air and is not suitable for children. Give me a list of what you need and I'll buy it for you. How about making amends to you?"

What are you kidding? Let you buy it, who are you to me? Ou Xiaomei just went her own way and tried her best to treat Liu Di beside her as an invisible person. But it was the first time I met a girl like Liu Di who didn't know much about fun. Even if others ignored him, he could talk endlessly there. When he followed Ou Xiaomei into the supermarket, he was even more eloquent. No matter what kind of product Ou Xiaomei reached out to, he would report the characteristics of this commodity like a barrage, and its impact on the performance, price, and price of each commodity. Even Xiaomei Ou, a full-time housewife, can't help but understand the details of the pros and cons.

In Liu Di "Don't buy this, this is 70 cents more expensive than the same product." "Don't buy that, the brand over there is buying two get one free." "Look at this new product, although it is advertised on There are a lot of functions mentioned, but no matter how you look at it, it is not practical, and the price is so expensive." "..." In such a gushing voice of advice, Ou Xiaomei finally bought all the things she wanted, and she had more at the same time. She bought a large bundle of soy sauce, which Liu Di insisted to pay her in compensation, and Ou Xiaomei looked forward to entertaining other nasty ghosts at night with dishes full of soy sauce from nasty people.

Obviously he had already "compensated" Ou Xiaomei, but Liu Di still lingered, wandering around Ou Xiaomei, not knowing what his intentions were. Listening to what he said about a beautiful woman on the left and a beautiful woman on the right, he said that he had unruly intentions, but Xiaomei Ou still has a little self-knowledge. She was not a beauty in the first place. After giving birth to a child, her bloated body had not recovered, and she was busy taking care of children and housework. She no longer had the time to dress up as before, and it was not too much to say that she was a yellow-faced woman now. Oh, how could Liu Di, a handsome man like Liu Di, who is not worried about having beautiful women posted by himself, want to be "unscrupulous"? Say he wants to make money. He doesn't look like a rich man. He shouldn't know the amount of his deposits in the bank, right? Then why does he always surround himself?

Could it be... Little Sister Ou's eyes fell on her son in the stroller. At this time, Liu Di was standing on the other side of the stroller, avoiding the baby's "claw" far away, holding a toy to tease the child: "Look at this Barbie doll is not pretty? Boys should be determined from childhood to find a girlfriend in the future. Just look for it like this. Do you want it? If you want, just call uncle to listen..." How can a six-month-old child call uncle? babbled. "If you want, call him uncle, hurry up and call him uncle." Liu Di bullied the child by waving the doll.

Xiaomei Ou pushed the child up and ran: I have long heard that human traffickers are rampant now, and there are even people robbing children on the street to sell them. Liu Dibei couldn't help but beating the baby's attention. Thinking of these little girls in the district speeding up their pace, Liu Di was soon tossed away without a trace.

Liu Di smiled and didn't catch up, but took out the phone: "Hey, she's going over to you now. Are you ready? Remember only to scare her, don't really hurt her, and don't allow her. Scare her children. You have to be a little exaggerated when I come out, don't forget that I will cry and beg for mercy after I knock you down!"

After answering the phone, one of the gangsters shook his head and shouted to his accomplices: "The work is done, the woman is here." The content of the work that can make each of them two thousand yuan is like this : There will be a woman pushing a stroller over here, and these thugs will come forward to provoke them, ready to molest and rob the woman. At this time, their employers will appear in the air and stage a show. A moving story of a hero saving beauty. Such a plot that would not be used in third-rate TV dramas was actually encountered by these gangsters, and what made them even more unbelievable was that this handsome man spent thousands of dollars to arrange this farce, and what he wanted to pursue was actually It's a yellow-faced woman who already has a child! This can't help but make the gangsters sigh, the world is so big, it's really amazing!

Xiaomei Ou was taken aback by the gangsters who jumped out of the corner. She saw them all with crooked mouths and squinting eyes, Zhang Ya dancing with claws, and they were forced to come over without anyone knowing that they were bad people, claiming that they had just Ou Xiaomei's footsteps have stepped on their boss's shadow, which will make their boss unlucky, so Ou Xiaomei must compensate for this. Ou Xiaomei hugged her son tightly, and asked these guys who are not good people, "What do you think?"

"One thousand compensation, bring it!" The gangster boss stretched out his hand and opened his mouth.

Xiaomei Ou breathed a sigh of relief, took out ten one-hundred-yuan bills, threw them on the ground, and ran away with the child in her arms. The gangsters looked at each other in dismay. Originally, they only said that to find fault according to the plot. Who knew this woman would be so rich. The mission hasn't been completed yet, so it's not enough to let her go like this.

"Beauty, it seems that you are very rich, my brothers are too poor to eat, how about you, please help us?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Beauty, don't look at us like a robber, we just want to ask you for relief, everyone is equal, and everyone who has money spends it."

Today is really a bad day, Xiaomei Ou sighed in her heart. I don't have much money on my body, but the wedding ring and the jade pendant around my neck are very valuable, and these are things of commemorative significance, and they can't fall into the hands of these people. While feigning extreme fear, she tried desperately to think of a way to escape.

At this moment, the hero finally appeared.

Liu Di shouted from a distance, "Don't be afraid, beauty, I'm here to save you!" Then he ran at a speed comparable to slow motion and with extremely dashing movements. After spending five minutes running the 20-meter distance, he didn't forget to put on a beautiful posture when he came to Xiaomei Ou, tossed his long hair, and asked the gangsters in a big way, "Wait a minute. How dare you harass this beauty, have you eaten the guts of a bear and a leopard!"

"We go out to seek money, you can't see it, okay, let's get three or five thousand dollars for this beauty, how about we just forget it?"

"Hmph, you dare to ask me for money when you offend this beauty! If you obediently apologize to her, I will let you leave intact."

"You don't want to live, boy!"

"Boys, who doesn't want to live anymore!"

After reading the opening lines that both sides had memorized in advance, the plot quickly developed to the next scene: a fight between heroes and gangsters.

Liu Di and the gangsters started a melee, and the fist-fighting was very lively. I saw Liu Di's every move was so dashing and handsome, every move was so flawless, and every turn, a gangster would let out a pig-like wailing under his attack. And those **** were vulnerable, crawling, rolling, barking, and all kinds of postures, which further highlighted Liu Di's wise, martial, and extraordinary bearing. At the end of the battle, Liu Di ended the fight by kicking the gangster out a few steps with his beautiful feet, which won the warm applause of the crowd watching the excitement. "Listen to me, if you dare to harass this beauty in the future, it won't be solved by a single fight, you guys remember it well!" Liu Di shouted exaggeratedly behind the gangsters fleeing in embarrassment, and returned triumphantly. Went to Ou Xiaomei's side, posing as a servant of merit, waiting to receive gratitude.

Xiaomei Ou looked at him coldly and asked, "Is it a lot of money?"

"Not much, not much, only 12,000..." Liu Di was complacent and accidentally missed his mouth, standing there with his mouth open.

Xiaomei Ou turned around and left. Since this Liu Di is willing to spend so much money on this play to get close to him, it shows that he has ulterior motives.

"Beauty, don't go, please listen to my explanation...Beauty, don't leave me..." Liu Di shouted loudly, but he didn't move at all to catch up until Ou Xiao When the girl's figure completely disappeared, he laughed: "There's no response like this? I'm really convinced." After speaking, the figure disappeared from the street.

Today, Meng Shu and Huo'er's itinerary is still to visit the city.

Meng Shu has not been to the human society for a long time. Everything he sees is new, and he has to ask about everything. That's called a bank. There's a lot of useless money in it, and you can go to a place to rob when you run out of money." "That's a restaurant. Some people's craftsmanship is good, but unfortunately their materials are not rich enough, and there are no monsters and humans to do it. Don't you collect a lot of monsters? Take some out and let Gui'er cook and eat... (He still remembers Meng Shu's collection)" "There is a school over there, where the fox goes to school." "Then There is a gas station next to it, and the car needs to drink gasoline to run... Of course you have to carry it and run." "There is a red light district... The dead dog said that the red light district is where there is a lot of food, I think it is also No more than anywhere else... Let's just bring some ingredients and let Rose cook and eat."

Amid Huo'er's chattering explanation, Meng Shu was looking at the whole city from afar. The colorful and colorful neons dress up the city with a strange beauty, and countless vehicles drive on the brightly lit roads, drawing light trails like shooting stars. Meng Shu's eyes drifted further and further along such a stream of lights, until he could see the color of the night beyond the lights. It turns out that the current city is so big, human beings have changed, and the city has also changed...

"Where are you looking? This way, this way, I'm asking you if this person looks good or not?" Huo'er's cry interrupted his thoughts.

Meng Shu shook his head and smiled. Looking at Huo'er's long-awaited late-night snack, he couldn't help but show a bitter smile. How could a girl at that time dress up like this? Color, look at that, who would dare to marry in the future...what, that's a man! Meng Shu couldn't stand the excitement for a while and almost fell from the air. How could all men dress like this now? He felt that he was really in a ghost, so he dragged the fire and left quickly, and Zhou Ying followed closely behind.

There is no night in the city now, no matter where there are colorful lights, all kinds of noisy sounds are coming out. The hospitable Huo'er was afraid that he wouldn't like it, so he specially took him to the most lively places. The longer he wandered in this hustle and bustle city, the irritable mood of Meng Shu became, and he even had the urge to sweep away these annoying scenes in front of him several times. The dangerous aura unique to the beast can also make his mind have to condense, so as not to be emotionally confused and arbitrarily shot. For him, Huo'er is the best "medicine", which can keep him awake at all times, which is why he is willing to follow the little child Huo'er to make trouble around.

Meng Shu retracted his gaze and glanced at Zhou Ying, and suddenly asked, "Zhou Ying, you have lived here for so long, where do you usually go?"

These days, Zhou Ying just followed them all the way and rarely spoke. When Meng Shu asked, he thought about it seriously before saying, "The park." Apart from work and going home, he went to the most places The places are bookstores and parks, but because the park-like city has the most green plants, if Zhou Ying insisted on saying where he likes it, it is probably the park.

"Okay, let's go for a walk in the park." Meng Shu decided loudly.

"What? I introduced you for a long time, and you finally want to go to the park!" Huo'er muttered dissatisfiedly. It really wanted to take Meng Shu around Lixin City for a few laps, and then look at the panicked appearance of those little monsters for fun. After all, they are used to their appearance, and it is difficult to cause a big commotion. With Meng Shude joining in, there will definitely be unusual effects. Who knew that after a few days, Meng Shu was not interested in blowing wind on top of skyscrapers, looking down on the city from the sky, or going around inexplicably on the street. Now that he finally found a place he wanted to go, it was actually a park again.

"There's nothing fun in the park, you come with me and take you to a fun place." After he said that, regardless of whether Meng Shu wanted it or not, he dragged him away.

Meng Shu Xiang Zhou Ying smiled wryly and followed it.

Huo'er took them to a movie theater where a foreign cartoon was being shown, and skillfully found a place with a good view. He ate the popcorn he got at some point and said, "This movie is very nice. , I've watched it seven times. There are snacks below, you're welcome, you want to eat and make your own." - Hovering in the air below them are the seats in the theater, so naturally there is no need to say what the snacks Huo'er is referring to. .

Huo'er has been watching the movie with relish for a long time. Although Meng Shu tried several times to focus on the screen, but he couldn't appreciate the extremely noisy scenes, insisted on After a while, he quietly walked out of the theater. Zhou Ying couldn't bear to call on Huo'er, who was fascinated, and followed Meng Shu out.

Meng Shu walks down the street in the form of a human. In fact, this is the first time he has walked in the crowd in human appearance since he came to Lixin City. The clothes worn by modern humans are completely different from the clothes he is used to. Every part is tightly bound to his limbs, making him He was uncomfortable.

On the left side of the theater is a record store, and on the right side is a disco. The two deafening music is sandwiched between the sound effects of the theater. Meng Shu can't help but stretch out his hand to hold his forehead and shake his head vigorously. Human beings are really noisy now. Once, when the sky was dark, people would sit around the fireplace, have a glass of turbid wine, a few friends, the wind was blowing through the woods outside the door, and chickens and dogs heard each other. What kind of night was that, and what was this? Such a night.

Meng Shu staggered and took a few steps forward. In front of the record store, there was a large poster that looked like a real person, which caught Meng Shu's attention. Facing the handsome young man who was holding a guitar and standing in a very unrestrained posture, Meng Shu laughed for a moment and asked, "Are you happy living like this here?"

Zhou Ying, who had been closely following Meng Shu step by step, was also looking at Luo Tian's poster. He couldn't unify himself and Luo Tian as "you" in Meng Shu's mouth, so he thought about it and said: " He seems very happy."

Meng Shu looked at Luo Tian's photo, shook his head, looked at it again, shook his head again, it's true that each demon has his own aspirations. "Zhou Ying, how about you? Do you like it here?"

Zhou Ying pondered for a long time before saying: "Better than your Shu Kingdom."

Meng Shu looked back at him. He really didn't expect that Zhou Ying of Muna would understand what he really meant. After a while, he asked, "Why?"

Zhou Ying said: "The characters here are all real."

Meng Shu was speechless, stared at him for a long time and then walked along the street. Zhou Ying was still following behind him like a shadow. Meng Shu wanted to say something to Zhou Ying several times, but he opened his mouth and retracted, and neither of them said a word, and walked all the way to the top of the street. Seeing the busy traffic on the street for a while, Meng Shu said, "It's not interesting, let's go back." He was about to leave, but a **** the street noticed the tall and jade-like young man and twisted his waist. He came over, put his hand on Meng Shu's shoulder, and asked in a loud voice, "Handsome guy, are you lonely? Do you want me to accompany you?"

Meng Shu turned his head and looked at the girl with a burning gaze, put his hand on her shoulder, and pushed it away. The woman didn't even notice Meng Shu's strange gaze, she still leaned against him, leaning against his body, and glared at Meng Shu cheek to cheek. Meng Shu pushed her away, pressed Sangzi and said, "Go away, don't bother me."

"Handsome guy, don't be so cool..." The woman fell to Meng Shu as if she was boneless.

"Get out of the way!" Meng Shu shouted violently, and the woman was startled by the sudden look in his eyes, she stepped back several steps, and squatted on the side of the road. Meng Shu didn't expect that he would care about a woman, he smiled wryly, and dragged Zhou Ying away. At this time, a few men hiding in the shade of the road were whistling, and Diao Erlang came out locally and surrounded Meng Shu from several directions. "This gentleman really doesn't understand Lianxiangxiyu. It's not so easy to get away after beating someone. Let's talk about how to make amends." Shu said.

Meng Shu frowned, trying to think about something, Zhou Ying noticed something was wrong, stood in front of Meng Shu, and waved the men to the side. It's a pity that the men regarded his life-saving behavior as a provocation, and one of them rushed forward and punched Zhou Ying in the nose. Zhou Ying raised his hand and clenched his fist, pushed him a few steps away, and then another person rushed up again. In Zhou Ying's opinion, these human beings are not as good as children's fights (note: children refer to Huo'er and Lin Rui), but their persistent spirit is admired by Zhou Ying. The one that came up was thrown out by Zhou Ying, and one was thrown out and then another came up. Just when Zhou Ying was about to throw the leading man away for the third time, Meng Shu suddenly bypassed him and grabbed the man first.

Meng Shu raised his head, and the olive pupils in his golden eyes reflected the surrounding lights, showing a strange color. Those men were stunned when they saw it, but they didn't wake up and died before their eyes. Said: "Hey, what kind of monster is this."

Meng Shu said nothing, raised his hand and grabbed the man, Zhou Ying took a step forward and pushed the man, and the man stumbled and fell out. He just turned around and wanted to get angry, but saw Meng Shu's five fingers sticking into the place where he was standing just now, forcibly digging out a piece of the large square brick that was filled in the ground. Before he could regain his senses from the surprise, Meng Shu walked towards him with heavy steps again, the twinkle in those two weird eyes, no matter how they looked, they were murderous. Although the man kept shouting in his heart: "No, hurry up! He wants to kill me!" But for some reason, under the gaze of those weird eyes, his body couldn't move, and he could only look at the other side. step closer.

Meng Shu raised his palm again and struck down. As the man howled with his eyes wide open, Zhou Ying jumped between them, and crossed his arms to block his attack. The man finally regained his senses, got up and ran away screaming behind the accomplices who had left him alone. Meng Shu reluctantly flew to catch up, and when he was about to touch the back of the man, Zhou Ying stopped in front of him again.

"Go away!" Meng Shu's expression was sluggish, but murderous aura erupted in his eyes, and Zhou Ying took a half step back when he shouted. Zhou Ying flicked his fingers, and the shadow under his feet turned into a single sword. He stood with his sword crossed, staring at Meng Shu with all his attention, knowing that the strength of this "big monster" was not something he could resist, but at this critical moment, he could only stop him desperately.

"Zheng!" The wind from Meng Shuyang's hand collided with Zhou Ying's blade, making a long sound. Zhou Ying stepped back, leaving a series of footprints on the masonry road. After retreating for a distance, he finally stabilized his body, raised the knife again, lowered his center of gravity, and assumed a protective posture.

"Zheng..." This time, there was only a crisp sound in the confrontation. Zhou Ying flipped out with a somersault.

Meng Shu continued to walk forward, and Zhou Yingyi clenched his teeth to prop up his body and stopped in front of him again. Meng Shu walked forward with unhurried steps, each attack was only more than ten steps apart, and he seemed to wave his hands at will, but it was such a casual attack that Zhou Ying could not continue after blocking three moves. , leaning on the ground with a knife, kneeling on one knee on the ground, gasping for breath.

As if nothing happened, Meng Shu continued to move forward, raising his hand and a strong wind came. The moment Zhou Ying struggled to stand up to meet him, a figure inserted between him and Meng Shu, "Shut up", a blue light flashed, Meng Shu's attack was stopped, and the person who came came back and ran into Zhou Ying.

"Nan Yu." Zhou Ying's eyes lit up when he saw the person coming, and then he frowned, "He's crazy, he seems to want to destroy this place, go to the cinema over there and ask Huo'er to come over. ."

Nan Yu held the broken peach wood sword in front of him: "You go and call Huo'er, I will block him first."

Between Zhou Ying and Nan Yu pushing and conceding, Meng Shu took a few steps closer, and another attack hit them again. Nan Yu and Zhou Ying both shot and blocked the move. Fortunately, Meng Shu still had some reason in his subconscious. Every attack was aimed at Zhou Ying, the direction from which the demonic energy came from, instead of attacking the crowd of traffic around him, otherwise the city would have no idea what the chaos would be like. look.

Zhou Ying and Nan Yu both shot again, and received another blow from Meng Shu. Nan Yu asked tentatively, "Meng Shu, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"

"Go away, whoever stands in my way will die!" Meng Shu said with a cold face.

"Meng Shu, are you going to kill someone?" Nan Yu shouted again. Holding the hope of "loving human beings", the last line of sight, Meng Shu can wake up, but Meng Shu is still indifferent and pressing forward step by step. When he raised his hand again, a hot white light flew towards Meng Shu, and Meng Shu, who had been attacking like a stroll in the courtyard, was forced to take a few steps back for the first time. In an instant, a hot roll surged between them like an explosion, and even the pillars of the street lamps beside them were grilled into twisted shapes.

"You dare to play shadowing!" The fire was burning brightly, staring at Meng Shu and saying viciously, "How dare you play shadowing while I have something to do, I want to make a deal with you!" It flew out of the theater and just saw Meng Shu Shooting at Zhou Ying, no matter who the opponent bullies on Zhou Ying's head, this is intolerable for it, "You stink bug, come and fight!" It shouted at Meng Shu.

Meng Shu folded his hands together, and gathered the flame that Huo'er had hit him just now. The raging flame disappeared in his palm. He bowed his head and was speechless for a moment. He raised his head and looked around, looked at Huo'er, looked at Zhou Ying and Nan Yu shook their heads with a wry smile and said, "Huo'er, thank you, Zhou Ying, Nan Yu, are you all alright?"

"It's okay." Although Zhou Ying had lingering fears about the battle just now, since he was following Meng Shu, he was mentally prepared for such a thing to happen. What can I say at this time? It's not that Zhou Ying hasn't seen how terrifying Meng Shu is, but even Huo'er's full-strength blow just now was dismissed by him lightly. If there is such a time, I don't know if I can hold out until he regains his senses. Liu Di, Liu Di, what happened to the monster you were looking for?

Meng Shu looked apologetically at Nan Yu, who shook his head expressionlessly. "Everyone is fine, hehehe, just fine." Meng Shu patted Zhou Ying on the shoulder, trying to pretend that nothing had happened.

"Who said it's okay, you bug! Look at Ying, is this okay? Is this okay? I will never forgive you." Huo'er fiddled with Zhou Ying to show Zhou Ying to Meng Shu The large and small wounds on his body screamed aggressively. This long worm is very powerful, but no matter how powerful the opponent is, as long as he dares to bully Ying, he will never let it go.

Meng Shu pursed his lips and smiled: "Zhou Ying himself said it's all right, a good boy should be obedient, be good."

Huo'er angrily opened his hand and looked at him angrily. Zhou Ying hurriedly hugged Huo'er and said, "Go back."

When he got home, the first thing Huo'er did was to turn over all the gifts that Meng Shu had given him and throw them at Meng Shu, muttering as he threw them, "Give it back, give it back to you."

Meng Shu asked in astonishment, "Why?" He finally threw them away, but he had nothing left to dispose of, and he didn't want to take them back.

Huo'er put her head on his face and said word by word, "Because we broke up our friendship, I don't welcome you to live in my house! So I will refund your accommodation fee as it is. It was considered that you lived in vain a few days ago. You should be very satisfied!"

"Isn't it just a little thing, why are you making such a fuss, hehehe."

"Is it a little? If you hit me, you hit me! The person who hit me still wants to live in my house! No way."

"Come here, Huo'er," Zhou Ying called Hui Huo'er and said to Meng Shu, "You better not go out as much as possible."

"Did you ask me to listen to your arrangements?" Meng Shu narrowed his eyes, whether it was a demon or a person who dared to speak to him like this, how long has it been since he met?

"If you don't want to destroy this human city." Nan Yu added quietly.

Meng Shu looked at her, looked at Zhou Ying, his eyes twitched on their faces, he pursed his lips for a long time without speaking, finally stood up and walked into the room specially made for him. "Ying, why didn't you drive him away? I'm going to drive him away!" "Huo'er...you'd better follow him closely..." The voice from outside the door was still coming, and Meng Shu fell heavily. bed.

After finally getting rid of those "flies", Ou Xiaomei brought out the hot food that had been hidden in the pot, Tian Youjun immediately jumped up and devoured it, spraying the scum in his mouth all over the place while eating. He said: "I didn't have enough to eat at noon today... I gave the box lunch to a mother who was reluctant to buy vegetables for her son's illness, and ate steamed buns with boiled water... It's not that I didn't eat, I ate some bread... "

Xiaomei Ou wiped the leftovers on the table while wiping the corner of his mouth and asked, "How much did you donate today?"

"Not much, it doesn't exceed your limit." Tian Youjun patted his chest and assured.

"You..." Xiaomei Ou shook her head, "If you hadn't met me, I don't know if you would starve yourself to death because of too many donations..."

Tian Youjun chuckled: "Didn't I meet you now, or the food made by my wife is delicious, let's have another bowl."

Looks like this idiot is really starving! Ou Xiaomei went to serve the meal with a wry smile. She knew that her husband was the kind of person who would like to donate all his wealth when he saw others in trouble. At noon, he certainly didn't just give out the lunch and eat the bread himself, but gave the bread to others. . If I hadn't met him, I really don't know what kind of life the two of them are living now...

Xiaomei Ou opened her eyes. The red "cross" on the white sheets and the "white coats" around her made her know that she was in the hospital, but why was she here? As soon as Ou Xiaomei thought about it, she felt as if her head had been hit hard, and she couldn't help groaning in pain.

"She's awake!" One person jumped to the bed with cheers, but immediately smiled embarrassingly to make way for the doctors and nurses behind him. A person dressed as a nurse stepped forward to roll her eyelids, felt her pulse, and tossed her temperature.

Ou Xiaomei asked blankly, "What's wrong with me? Why am I in the hospital?"

The man in the doctor's white coat who was cheering for her waking up at first leaned over beside the bed and said softly, "This is the Peace Hospital, and I brought you here when I saw you passed out in the park. Here. How are you feeling now?"

"I fainted..." Au Xiaomei tried to recall how she passed out, but she was completely clueless. She didn't even remember why she passed out or why she went to the park.

"Ms. Au, this is the leather bag that was with you at the time, and it has your ID card in it." It was the young doctor who brought her to the hospital to take out a women's leather bag from the bedside table for her and asked her: "Can you tell me the phone number of your home and I can help you notify your relatives? You don't have any contact information in your bag."

Ou Xiaomei held her forehead and thought for a long time before sighing and saying, "No, I have no relatives, I am the only one left." Confused in his heart, he buried his head in the pillow and stopped talking.

"No relatives? What about her medical expenses?" a middle-aged doctor asked angrily, his target of course pointed at the young doctor who came back from the rescue area, "Oda, you picked this person up. , you see how to deal with it!"

The male doctor who first talked to Ou Xiaomei smiled and said, "If she really can't pay, can I still pay?"

Another female doctor exclaimed in surprise: "Tian Youjun, most of your living expenses are spent on these people, right? It's a good thing to save others, but you have to do what you can. You haven't graduated yet. All the money that came was spent on it."

"I usually work outside..." The group said, the voices gradually faded away, and only Xiaomei Ou was trying to organize her memories.

Originally, the hospital was unwilling to accept Ou Xiaomei, a patient of unknown origin, but after Tian Youjun promised to pay the medical expenses on her behalf, Ou Xiaomei could not be discharged from the hospital. Her attending doctor will always have various reasons to ask Ou Xiaomei, who has no discomfort, to continue to stay in the hospital for observation. But after doing all kinds of expensive examinations, not only could he not be sure what was wrong with Ou Xiaomei's body, but also did not come to a conclusion about what caused her to faint. It seems that this hospital has not failed Ou. The little sister privately gave them the title of "quack doctor".

After this period of recuperation, Ou Xiaomei has already sorted out her memories. Her parents died when she was young, and now she has no relatives and no reason. She usually relies on the inheritance of her parents and grandfather to do some small things Business, living a life of wandering everywhere, the past years seem to have no worries about food and clothing, but also seem to be muddled, in short, think of it like plain running water, everything is clearly visible, but in the end there is nothing that can be particularly remembered. But why did you go to that park and what did you do there? How did you pass out? She tried so hard to think about it, but she couldn't remember it at all.

Xiaomei Ou doesn't like to talk to the patients in the same ward, and she has no family members to visit, so she lived a lonely and lonely life in the hospital. Except for the doctor to ask a few words and the nurse to give injections on time, only Tian Youjun came to visit her from time to time.

Tian Youjun is a student of XX Medical College. He is currently practicing in this hospital. Since he is not an official doctor, he is not included in the list of "quack doctors" that Ou Xiaomei hates. Small talk. Tian Youjun is a kind-hearted young man, and his mind is full of famous sayings like the hearts of doctors and parents. Although she had to pay high medical expenses for Ou Xiaomei, she never revealed it in front of Ou Xiaomei. Instead, she did everything possible to cover up the fact that the hospital's fees were so high because she was afraid that Ou Xiaomei would be sad. Ou Xiaomei is really angry and funny towards such people. But watching him help this patient today, help that patient tomorrow, cry for cancer, pay for nephritis, Xiaomei Ou doesn't understand, this person who takes a doctor as his future career doesn't know his own career in the future Will you see how many births, old age, sickness and death? Looking at it with such a mentality, how can it be tolerated in the future? Ou Xiaomei wanted to ask Tian Youjunwen why she likes to help others several times, but she laughed at herself for being nosy, and she didn't say anything.

She stayed in the hospital for 20 days before and after, and it was not until the day she was discharged that she asked the nurse, "How much?"

The nurse looked at Tian Youjun, who couldn't help winking at her, but still reported a high number.

Ou Xiaomei pouted and asked, "Can you pay by card?" Although the wallet in the leather bag had been taken away by the person who found her fainted in the park in one step, Xiantian Youjun took the passbook close to her body, but the bank card was still there. Now, the little girl in the district does not pay attention to such a hospitalization fee. Seeing that Miss Ou took out the card and handed it to the nurse for her to check out, Tian Youjun asked in surprise; "So you have money."

"Who dares to come and live in your black shop without money." Ou Xiaomei said coldly in front of a room full of doctors and nurses, not at all worried about their disgusting eyes. Tian Youjun thought about the bill, touched his nose and smiled shyly. He sent Xiaomei Ou out of the hospital in good faith, and repeatedly told her to be careful when going out. If she felt unwell, she should seek medical attention as soon as possible. It is best to check her body on time. Not long after, Tian Youjun heard from the nurse who went to checkout the balance of Ou Xiaomei's bank card. money.

Ou Xiaomei met Tian Youjun again on the pedestrian street in the business district.

Xiaomei Ou has no relatives and no reason, so she doesn't know where to go after leaving the hospital. Because she didn't go back to the hotel where she was due, she had already cleaned up her luggage as garbage. Anyway, it was just her carry-on clothes, and she didn't bother to reason, but she had a whim when she went to buy new clothes, just in business. There was a clothing store on the street, and it opened to pass the time. After a few months, the business has been doing well or not, but there is still a surplus. Ou Xiaomei didn't care about the money, she just thought about something to do to pass the time, so the days went by like this. One day, Xiaomei Ou met Tian Youjun who was promoting voluntary blood donation on this bustling pedestrian street.

Ou Xiaomei looked at Tian Youjun's busy figure in the crowd (that is, chasing after pedestrians who wanted to bypass him, inviting others to donate blood), she didn't pay attention to him at first, but Tian Youjun recognized him at a glance Ou Xiaomei immediately greeted her and "interrogated" her physical condition with concern for a long time. After learning that her body was normal, she warmly invited Ou Xiaomei to donate blood to the blood collection car over there.

Xiaomei Ou frowned and looked at Tian Youjun, who was vigorously promoting the benefits of offering sacrifices to herself. Only women who have just met have been invited to eat, play, and watch movies, and no one has invited others to donate blood.

"Actually, as long as the donated blood is not excessive, it will not have a bad effect on the human body, and on the contrary, it will have certain benefits for the body, so as long as the blood donation is not large, the time interval is not very short. If you don’t, it would be beneficial and harmless for people to donate equipment on a regular basis, and it would benefit others and oneself.” Tian Youjun vigorously promoted the benefits of blood donation while pulling Xiaomei Ou to the blood donation cart.

Xiaomei Ou brushed away his hand and said coldly, "I won't offer it."

"Why? Don't be afraid, donating blood is really nothing to be afraid of. I have donated many times!" Tian Youjun stretched out the needle hole on his arm where he had just donated blood, "Trust me, yes" Tone announced.

Xiaomei Ou looked at him seriously and asked, "I ask you, is it my obligation to donate blood now?"

"Yes, voluntary blood donation is beneficial to the country, the people and oneself..."

Seeing that Tian Youjun was waiting there with a series of speeches, Miss Ou hurriedly interrupted him: "I'll ask you again, will the hospital patients receive money for blood transfusions?"

"Of course we receive money, oh, I see. What you mean is that our hospital sells the blood voluntarily donated by others to patients and earns money from it, right?" Tian Youjun realized that he was not stupid, and immediately realized it. Arriving at what Ou Xiaomei meant, he hurriedly explained to her: "That's not the money that was collected for free, the preservation of blood, transportation, etc. would also cost..."

Xiaomei Ou shrugged her shoulders to stop him from continuing: "Then save the storage fee." After she finished speaking, she waved to Tian Youjun to go back to the store - I didn't drink enough blood when I was hospitalized, Now I still want to sell my blood for money, no way!

"You can't think like that." Tian Youjun stopped her and started to educate her. "You think about those patients who are struggling in pain. They are likely to die because they don't have the right blood. Do you think Think of how much they yearn for life and how painful their parents, children and relatives are. And we only need to donate some blood, just some blood that has no adverse effect on our body, and then we can easily save a person's life. Things only need a little bit of sympathy...

Xiaomei Ou's sympathy for Tian Youjun had almost vanished in his wordy words, she couldn't help frowning and said, "Why are you a big man like a mother-in-law?" Then she pushed him away and left.

In order to keep the public morals of the society from perishing, for the thousands of patients who need blood transfusions, and to save the extremist thoughts of Xiaomei District, Tian Youjun grabbed the door frame of Xiaomei District's shop with both hands to prevent her from entering, and persevered. He tried hard: "Hey, I'm not a mother-in-law, I don't want to see others die. This is also for your own good, think about it, if people in the world stop helping others, one day you will No one is willing to help you when you encounter something..."

Xiaomei Ou grabbed him by the collar and said, "Listen, I've grown up so much, I've always dealt with things by myself, and no one has ever helped me!" Zhetian Youjun's innocent smiling face suddenly remembered that not long ago, this idiot had taken himself to the hospital when he passed out, and wished he thought that he was poor and had no money to pay for medical expenses, so he would quietly pay for himself. After all, I have been favored by him, but what I said just now was not very assertive, so I had to let go and change my words: "Who said that I don't want to donate blood to save people, I just don't want to let you hospitals from I just got more benefits from me (Little girl Ou was hospitalized for more than ten days, and she was not diagnosed with any disease. The daily treatment was only nutritional injections and temperature measurement. In the end, the medical fee charged to her was as high as five figures. She will It's okay to look at the hospital that way). If I see someone in need, I'm going to help him, you know!"

After hearing her last words, Tian Youjun smiled reassuringly: "That's great, I knew you were not that kind of person. See you next time." Go away. When Ou Xiaomei returned to the store, she saw that he had started to go to the passers-by to promote voluntary blood donation. Even though she has been alone since she was a child, Tian Youjun's personality is still the only one she has ever seen in her life, and she can't help but admire her while being ridiculous.

The days that followed were as peaceful as water, Xiaomei Ou lived a carefree life with food and clothing, but for some reason she always felt that something was missing in her heart. Looking back on my past, everything is clear, but everything is vague. Facing her own experiences, Ou Xiaomei always felt as if she was watching other people's stories, with every detail in her heart, but as if she saw it through a glass, there was always a sense of unreality in it. It seemed that her mind really came out. Something went wrong. The hospital where Tian Youjun practiced must be full of quack doctors, and there was clearly something wrong with his body, but they couldn't find it out. However, Ou Xiaomei has no plans to go to other hospitals for examination. The world is as dark as crows, so don't send yourself to the door to let those quack doctors "slaughter". Anyway, there are no other discomforts to the body, and this day is not bad.

Xiaomei Ou has no relatives in the world, and there is no one who can be called a friend in this city. The only one who has more contacts with her is Tian Youjun, the former "savior". It wasn't that Ou Xiaomei had a good impression of Tian Youjun, but that Tian Youjun would appear on the commercial street every three days. Tian Youjun, who originally worked in a sporting goods store, was fired by his boss after he went out to promote voluntary blood donation during the last working hours. Later, Ou Xiaomei saw him working in several mountaineering equipment stores, XX record stores, XX boutiques, etc., but it was not too long. Maybe the bosses can't stand the fact that their employees will rush into the street from time to time during work, or help the elderly to cross the road, or give change to beggars? Although Ou Xiaomei's clothing store is not very carefully run, but because Ou Xiaomei's purchase taste is very suitable for the taste of today's girls, the business of the store is not bad~IndoMTL.com~ So not long ago, after the school summer vacation, Tian Youjun became a salesperson in the store.

Xiaomei Ou herself did not understand why Tian Youjun, who was looking for a job that day, was not rejected by several stores, how could she put away the notice "recruiting female shop assistants" on a whim, and took the initiative to leave Tian Youjun as her name. summer job. Anyway, looking at the help he once gave to himself, this should be regarded as a reward for him.

At first, Tian Youjun had psychological resistance to working in a women's clothing store, but when he found out the amount of his remaining living expenses, he accepted the position obediently. He can be said to know nothing about women's clothing. If he organizes the goods, he will often use ordinary clothes to match the model to a very ridiculous effect. However, his affinity was extraordinary, so that he would make a good impression on customers, and he just helped Ou Xiaomei, who was too lazy to deal with people, so this incompetent clerk just did it. After a long time, Ou Xiaomei also learned more about Tian Youjun.

Tian Youjun, like Ou Xiaomei, both died when they were young. He was raised by his grandfather, and when his grandfather died, he just happened to be admitted to the university, so the villagers in the village put together a tuition fee for him, plus the scholarship won for him by his excellent grades, so that he can Entering a medical school to study, as for the usual living expenses, I can only solve it by working by myself. However, Tian Youjun not only has no complaints about his life experience, but is full of gratitude to the world because he has received too much help. Thanks to the folks, the school, and the bosses who hired their unskilled employees (always look at Ou Xiaomei with the eyes of a reborn parent). What else can Xiaomei have to say to such a person.
