Chapter 23: Fighting

I never dreamed that one day I would hear the word breakup from Xiaoxiao's mouth. Suddenly, a chill came from the soles of my feet and I woke up.

After that, I called Xiaoxiao countless times, but I couldn't get through. Obviously, Xiaoxiao rejected my call.

As a result, I felt even more depressed. I didn't know how I got here all night long.

I never thought that one day I would break up with Xiaoxiao.

However, I can't give up so easily. When I think of the time I spent with Xiaoxiao, although we are in trouble now, we once were as happy and in love as any other couple.

"It's all my fault, if I can argue..."

For Xiaoxiao, it may have reached a stage where she needs relief - but I am not willing to give up just like that. After encountering such an accident, I once again understood how important Xiaoxiao is to me.

When it was dark the other day, I just put on my coat and went out to find Wang Ermazi's house.

I thought it through very thoroughly. Let’s not talk about how to choose the future. Right now, the most important thing for me is to keep Xiaoxiao!

I need to take practical actions to win back Xiaoxiao's heart. I must do the best I can...

Even if this puts me in great danger. I knew I might be risking my life.

But compared to watching Xiaoxiao give up because of my incompetence and choose to break up with me, I would rather take this gamble.

Life or death is a dead life, there is nothing to be afraid of anymore!

When he arrived at Wang Ermazi's house and knocked on the door, the door opened after knocking for a full minute.

"Who do you think you are! It's so early in the morning that you don't even know what time it is! And you don't want anyone to sleep!"

Wang Ermazi came out of the room cursing, with a sullen look on his face, obviously hiding a lot of anger.

And when he came out and found that the person standing outside the door was me, the expression on his face was startled at first, and then his eyes widened, as big as a calf.

I was wearing the same clothes as yesterday, while Wang Ermazi was wearing cartoon-style pajamas, which didn't quite fit the image of this kid. I didn't expect him to have such a childlike side.

"What the hell, Brother Jun?! Did I read that correctly? What kind of wind blew you here?"

Wang Ermazi yelled something first, and then saw that my expression was a little heavy, so he immediately took me into the house and closed the door.

Or maybe it’s said that when single men don’t take wives, they all live in doghouses—Wang Er Mazi’s house is in chaos, and calling him a doghouse is just a compliment.

It was a little foggy outside when I came, and my thin clothes were a little damp. Taking off my thin coat and putting it aside, I said straight to the point, "Mazi, take me to see Sister Lan."

Wang Ermazi looked at me with a bewildered look while changing his clothes. After a long time, he slowly said, "That's fine, but Brother Jun, are you... here because of what happened yesterday?"

I nodded silently.

"That is to say...Brother Jun, are you ready to agree to take on this private job?"

"Yes, so take me to Sister Lan now. She shouldn't have left yet, right?"

Wang Ermazi cheered, sat down next to me, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "No way, Brother Jun, do you think it's easy to find a burial master like you? It's not easy!"

After saying that, Wang Ermazi also had a smile on his face and said with satisfaction, "Brother Jun, fortunately you have changed your mind, otherwise I think Sister Lan would have gone to explore the tiger's den alone this time - Qingyun Town I almost looked through it all, but I just couldn’t find the right one!”

I looked at him and said, "You didn't try to find Emperor Guan?"

Wang Ermazi waved his hand and said, "It's no use. Guan Tianzi and Sister Lan have met a long time ago. They both said the same thing, uh...how to say it."

Wang Ermazi had a serious look on his face, as if he was thinking about the conversation between Sister Lan and Guan Tianzi, but looking at him like that, he might not be able to remember it if he was given another hour. It’s better to leave quickly.

"Okay, that doesn't matter. Take me to Sister Lan and I'll tell her personally."

"Okay, then Brother Jun, why don't you just take my car and leave? Sister Lan lives a little far away from here."

"Can."

At about five o'clock in the morning, the streets of Qingyun Town were covered with a light layer of white fog. From a distance, the fog was as fine as a layer of white sand floating in the air. It also gave the whole town a strange feeling. atmosphere.

I stared at the white mist in the air, and suddenly thought that Qingyun Town had not seen fog in the early morning for countless years. I don't know if it's a coincidence.

I'm sitting in the passenger seat. Wang Ermazi looked at me from time to time while driving, and then asked a little cautiously, "Brother Jun, has something happened to you?"

I remained silent and didn't speak, but my heart felt a little stinging.

"Hey, I can understand. You think I'm a big talker and you're afraid that I'll tell the truth, right? But Brother Jun, I also know the difference between seriousness and seriousness. I won't say a word about things I shouldn't say. "

"You have said this more than ten times." I responded calmly.

"Uh..." Wang Ermazi seemed a little embarrassed, touched his big head and said nothing.

However, I can sense Wang Ermazi's kindness. He probably wants to comfort me.

I've never been good at hiding my emotions, they always show up on my face, and Wang Ermazi is very good at observing people's emotions, so it's even harder to hide them from him.

"...Xiaoxiao and I broke up."

"...ah?"

Wang Ermazi looked dumbfounded, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"I called her all night last night, but she never answered the phone. I guess...she is serious."

As I spoke, my own voice became a little hoarse. Maybe that sentence is really right - those who are favored are always confident.

For more than a year, Xiaoxiao and I have been putting off our marriage. If some things are delayed for a long time, people will naturally get used to it and become numb.

As for me, I ignored Xiaoxiao’s efforts and efforts in many details.

Relationships are a matter between two people. I always care about how wronged I am, but I forget that Xiaoxiao is also suffering from the same torture as me.

"...Oh, so Brother Jun, you changed your mind and are ready to risk your life to take this job?"

"As you said, the reward is not bad." I whispered, trying my best to distract myself from thinking about Xiaoxiao.

"That's good. After dividing it with Sister Lan, you can get at least 100,000 yuan."

I nodded silently. For me now, cash is the only comfort - of course, provided that I can successfully complete my task and put the money into my pocket.

"But Brother Jun... I don't know whether I should tell you this..."

"Speak directly if you have something to say. I don't like to hide it."

Although Wang Ermazi is a bit of a treacherous person, he is not a bad person and has always been straightforward in his speech. The way he is hemming and hawing now really doesn't look like him.

"...That's right, I think it's actually not possible. It's a good choice for you to break up with your sister-in-law..."

Before Wang Ermazi finished speaking, I glared at him and motioned for him to shut up.

"I just told you not to tell me, but you still want me to tell you..." Wang Ermazi explained aggrievedly.

"Okay, stop talking about this, just concentrate on driving."

That's what I said, but when I saw Wang Er Mazi always seeming hesitant to speak, I couldn't help but wonder why this kid suddenly mentioned the breakup.

Does he know something that I don't know? I was alone in my thoughts, and at some point, the car soon arrived at Sister Lan’s residence.

"She is really rich. She lives in this Tiancheng Hotel?"

I looked up at the front door of the hotel, which was still glowing with gorgeous light in the early morning, and said with some emotion.

Wang Ermazi followed and got out of the car, nodded and said, "Yes, Sister Lan's family already has money, and her income is not low, so living in this place is not an exaggeration."

The reason why I was surprised was because this Tiancheng Hotel is considered the most luxurious hotel in Qingyun Town. Compared with a big city, this small place is almost like a village in the city. It really has nothing to offer.

But this Tiancheng Hotel alone is a five-star hotel that is not inferior to any hotel in first-tier cities.

However, correspondingly, this place has also become a symbol of the word luxury in Qingyun Town. In this hotel, even the cheapest room costs four figures per night for one night's stay.

Anyway, I can't afford it, not even to death. But through this incident, I seem to have a new understanding of the profession of demon slayer.

As a professional demon slayer, it seems that you can live a very comfortable life, right?

Just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, I entered the interior of Tiancheng Hotel for the first time and looked around curiously. After Wang Ermazi informed the front desk and received Sister Lan's response, I took the elevator upstairs.

"Brother Jun, look at the envious look on your face, just like a country bumpkin." It seemed that the look of amazement on my face was too obvious, Wang Ermazi sarcastically said with a smirk.

I slapped him on the head and said, "Aren't you a country bumpkin? You talk like you've been to a big city."

"I'm better than you. Hehe, in this business now, I have to get in touch with a lot of big shots!"

As he said this, Wang Ermazi also puffed up his chest proudly. I raised my middle finger in slight respect.

"But Brother Jun, I think with your ability, you can definitely live a life like Sister Lan if you are willing."

"You mean to become a demon slayer and then run away?"

Wang Ermazi nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, this kind of life is so good, nourishing and unrestrained!"

I silently looked at the elevator floors that were gradually rising, and after a long time I said, "I will be satisfied if I can marry Xiaoxiao, give birth to a baby in Qingyun Town, and live an ordinary life."

"Hey, Brother Jun, why are you so obsessed with her? In fact, I don't think she is worthy of you..."

I glanced at Wang Ermazi lightly - but the meaning was already clear. I hope he won't say bad things about Xiaoxiao in front of me.

Wang Ermazi showed a complicated expression and opened his mouth hesitantly, but in the end he sighed, shook his head and said nothing.

With a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened and it was on the 20th floor.

Looking at Wang Ermazi's back as he walked out, I felt inexplicably that this kid was a little weird today.

This kid has never said anything to Xiaoxiao in the past, and he only said it in a good direction.

And based on what I know about Wang Ermazi, there is a high probability that he has heard something.

Apart from anything else, except for intelligence, the information in the hands of Wang Ermazi is definitely the most credible in Qingyun Town.

An inexplicable and uneasy premonition also occupied my brain. After standing still for a moment, I tried my best to put away the reverie in my mind and followed Wang Ermazi.
