Chengzhong district is the oldest old district in Jiangnan City.

Although in the recent round of city building movement, it fell behind the surrounding high-rise New Development Zone, but because of the pleasant scenery and superior location, it still gathered a lot of people.

In particular, a few commercial pedestrian streets with their own characteristics, when the lights start to shine, are full of people and lights.

"Heyin cuisine" is located in the golden position of a pedestrian street called "Pingyang road". With its spacious front and an artificial bamboo forest, it creates a quiet atmosphere in the downtown area. It doesn't mean "hiding" at all.

On the other side of Heyin cuisine is the 100th goods company of Jiangnan City, which has a history of 30 to 40 years. When it was built, it used to be the tallest building in the city. Now, it has naturally declined. No matter how it is decorated or renovated, it can not change the too cramped pattern - but it is more than enough to serve as the commanding height to control the radius of three to five hundred meters.

In the men's room on the fifth floor of the first department store.

From here, you can overlook the whole pedestrian street of Pingyang Road, and you can see clearly the passers-by and tourists from south to north.

Half past six in the evening.

Li Yao has been standing here for half an hour, carefully observing the shops and people nearby with his telescope. He not only wants to see the author of "forty thousand years of cultivation", but also has to determine whether the author lives nearby or far away. It's better to follow the vine and find out the author's hometown.

As time goes by, his eyes become more and more acute, and he can instantly lock in the different characteristics of hundreds of passers-by, and clearly analyze their action tracks.

"Teacher Niu, are you here?"

After scanning the environment and passers-by, Lee sent a message in the name of "rabbit in the sea of stars".

"Here I am. I've just arrived. I'm dressed in blue. There's an old lady fried chicken beside me. Are you here?"

Reply from the opposite side.

Li Yao pointed his telescope at a milk tea and fried chicken shop 20 or 30 meters away from Heyin cuisine.

In addition to a few middle school girls who are buying milk tea, there is a thin bamboo like man in a wrinkled blue suit.

"Is that him?"

Li Yao carefully observed that this guy seemed to have a new shaved head and face, but he couldn't cover up the poverty between his eyebrows and eyes. Maybe it was because of his desk work all the year round. His eyes were a little green, his cheeks were deeply sunken, and his back was slightly arched. The cheap suit was also a size larger. It was like a plastic bag on his body. A gust of wind could blow him away.

Of course, even if the suit fits, it looks rather awkward - today is the hottest day since summer, with the highest temperature of 35 degrees. Apart from real estate agents and insurance sellers, who else wears such a serious suit?

When Li Yao stares at this guy, this guy is using the mirror of the nearby clothing store to clean up his clothes, spraying breath freshener or something into his mouth, and by the way, he uses the reflection of the mirror to peek at the middle school girls who are drinking milk tea.

"There seems to be no one else nearby."

Li Yao scratched his head. Originally, he thought he could write such characters as yanxibei, Xiao xuance, jintuyi, lvzui and boss Bai. The author could be down and down, and he could sigh, but he had to have a little bit of heroic temperament?

Now it seems that there is no such thing at all.

After scanning carefully all around and confirming that no one was following the author, Li Yao sent a message of "coming soon" and got off the elevator.

They crowded into the crowd again, but they didn't rush up to say hello. The middle school girls were still drinking milk tea. From time to time, they burst out a burst of youthful laughter. Zhang Daniu had been dawdling around, and his eyes kept turning.

Li Yao took out a "toothpick crossbow" from his arms, which is a toy that children often play with. Under the cover of the crowd, he shot a toothpick at Zhang Daniu.

The distance between the two sides was seven or eight meters. When the toothpick floated past, he had no strength. Zhang Daniu was ignorant. He didn't know what hit him until the toothpick stabbed his back. He turned back and rubbed it. He didn't realize what hit him.

"So, he doesn't have any" super power ", he is just an ordinary person with very slow perception?"

Li Yao confirmed this and threw the toothpick crossbow into the garbage can by the side of the road. Then he stepped forward, patted each other heavily on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Hello, teacher Niu!"

Zhang Daniu suddenly looked back and found that he was a young man he had never seen before. He was so excited that he was surprised: "are you..."

"I'm the elder martial brother of rabbit, Jiangnan Normal University. I'm really sorry. It's too bad. Last night, the girls' dormitory of our school broke into a burglar, which scared several girls so much that they screamed in the middle of the night. Today, the leaders of our school are furious. The dormitory is very strict. They say that girls have nothing to do. It's better not to run around at night!"

Li Yao said with a smile, "so, no way, I'm the only male member of our Science Fiction Association. Rabbit, they entrust me as their representative to express their sincere apology to teacher Niu. They all say that they have a long way to go. They'll find a rest day in a few days and come out to teacher Niu during the day to talk about literature, science fiction and life dreams. Do you mind?"

"Ah --"

Li Yao saw that Zhang Daniu's face, which had just been shaved and had a few knife edges, collapsed a little bit, just like the ice under the scorching sun, and soon lost its shape. "No, I don't mind, of course I don't mind. Hahaha, girls should be careful when they come out at night. Now there are too many bad people in society..."

"You can understand, that's great. Rabbit, they are worried that you are angry and won't be a guest in our school. I told them, how can teacher Niu, who can write" forty thousand years of cultivation ", be a small bellied and fussy person?"

Li Yao was very happy with his smile. "Anyway, today, it's the same for us to talk first. I've got a lot of heart to talk about with Mr. Niu. Besides, I know everything about them. You can ask me what you want to know!"

"I, I don't want to know anything!"

Zhang Daniu said, "I mainly want to know about the development of your Science Fiction Association and care about the views of contemporary college students on science fiction, dreams and the future. What else can I know?"

"Yes, you said so. That's what we'll talk about."

Li Yaoyi patted his head and said, "I almost forgot to introduce myself. Unfortunately, my name is" Li Yao "and I have the same name as the hero in your book. I especially like to watch" forty thousand years of cultivation ". Really, I even feel like Li Yao in the book. I have a feeling of being connected with teacher Niu. I am a bosom friend."

"Yes, yes."

Zhang Daniu seems to have no desire to chat, and has to deal with it.

"Don't just stand. It's so hot."

Li Yao pulled Zhang Daniu, "let's have dinner first. Let's talk while eating?"

"... OK."

Zhang Daniu gave a feeble answer, and then suddenly woke up, "where are you going?"

"Heyin cuisine!"

Li Yao said, "rabbit said you asked her to cook in Heyin, didn't you?"

"... ah, yes, that's right. It's easier to wait at the gate of Heyin restaurant."

Zhang Daniu took a look at the low-key luxury Heyin restaurant. His eyes twitched a few times and said, "but these two days I'm a little upset. It's not suitable for eating these raw and cold things. There are parasites in those sashimi. Otherwise, teacher Niu would invite you to eat bone casserole in casserole. It's a hundred year old restaurant nearby. It's so rotten that it's much better than sashimi."

It was said that it was "nearby". They walked for more than ten minutes, left the pedestrian street and came to an old residential area full of fireworks.

Li Yao doesn't care what he eats. Anyway, it's good to be sure that Zhang Daniu lives nearby.

When he walked, he observed carefully. Zhang Daniu held his right hand to avoid passers-by, and his right hand was slightly swollen. It really looked like he was injured.

Zhang Daniu seems to have eaten a belly of dust, and his face is always gray and not very good-looking. However, when the steaming, mountain of big bones are put on the table, he seems to have accepted his fate, and a dry smile reappears on his face.

"The girls' dormitory is full of thieves. They must be scared, right?"

Zhang Daniu said with a smile, "rabbit... Her boyfriend must be worried, too?"

"Rabbit has no boyfriend."

Li Yaowei was stunned and immediately replied, "my younger martial sister is a girl who has a lot of soul pursuit and aesthetic taste. She is independent and detached. She thinks about the universe, the future, civilization and so on all day long. Where can ordinary people get into her eyes?"

"Oh..."

There is light in Zhang Daniu's smile.

"And you?"

Li Yao took the opportunity to inquire about Zhang Daniu's situation, "teacher Niu, you come out to eat and chat, don't have to report to your teacher's mother?"

"No, no, actually I'm single. I've been wandering alone for more than 30 years. Where's my" teacher's mother "

Zhang Daniu said with a smile, "also, Li Yao, I'd like to give you a suggestion - we are all science fiction lovers and fellow artists. Don't be" teacher Niu "long or" teacher Niu "short. We're all about the same age. You're all about 20 this year. I'm only about 30, and I'm very young. You're all of the same age, Don't call me teacher Niu, just call me brother Niu

"... brother Niu."

Li Yaoshen took a deep breath, trying to control his expression, looking at Zhang Daniu's right hand, "brother Niu, drink a little wine, no, live and activate blood, the wound will heal quickly!"

"Well, drink a little!"

Zhang Daniu waved his hand, "that's right. Don't treat me as a teacher, just as a friend. What can't we talk about or help friends?"

"Yes, brother Niu, I know you must be a very generous and natural person after watching the forty thousand years of Xiuzhen. You are really famous. It's better to meet each other. Let me propose a toast to you first!"

Li Yao has a heart to get Zhang Daniu drunk so as to ask for some key news. Anyway, his body has been greatly strengthened, and ordinary alcohol is not enough to paralyze his nerves. One cup on the left and one cup on the right, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food. Under his heart's design, Zhang Daniu has already drunk red, his ears are red, his legs are shaking, and he has a big tongue.

"Brother Niu, can you tell me in detail about your mental journey of creating" Xiuzhen 40000 years "

Li Yao took the opportunity to say, "this is also the task assigned to me by the rabbit. We all want to know how you first thought of writing such a work?"
