The Ninth Secret Bureau

v4 Chapter 3: The curse of the soil egg

One night's heavy rain washed away the haze lingering over Ningchuan. When the sun rose the next day, the city seemed to have returned to the old laziness, as if the crisis that had enveloped the whole city had never appeared before, and it was another day of peace and harmony.

When Mu He woke up lazily, Chen Xian had already gone out to buy vegetables and came back. Because there was one more person in the family this time and one more pair of chopsticks, Chen Xian bought slightly more meat than before.

No more, no less, just two hundred and fifty catties.

Chen Xian is considered a "celebrity" in Laoluoguxiang, so the butchers in the vegetable market always have special treatment for senior customers like Chen Xian, not only discounts but also delivery to the door, even some of Chen Xian's purchases. The seasonings were all pulled back by the delivery driver.

After Mu He got dressed, yawned and jumped off the bed, stepped on his slippers and ran into the kitchen, only to hear the jingle inside.

"Chen Xian, can't these be eaten directly?"

"can not."

"I smell very delicious...Although the breath of their life is almost exhausted but..."

"Go out and stay, don't make trouble."

Mr. Skull was also a little depressed when he was blocked by Chen Xian's few words. He sat pitifully on the door threshold outside the kitchen. Seeing Mu He coming, he also waved his hand in the way that humans say hello.

"Good morning."

"Good morning~" Mu He always had a cute smile on his face when he spoke, and his attitude towards Mr. Skull was much more enthusiastic than before. He bounced out of the kitchen to greet him, and Secretly poking his head over, he returned his gaze contentedly when he saw Chen Xian's busy figure.

Maybe it started last night, maybe it started a long time ago...In Mu He's eyes, there is no better person in this world than Chen Xian.

This unfamiliar world is like an unpredictable mist to Mu He. She never knows what the nature of this world is like, like a bedroom magnified by countless times but filled with furniture everywhere, as if Every corner is full of unknown secrets. Although all this makes her curious, it also makes her feel inexplicably uneasy.

Living in this bizarre world, she is like a stranger walking in the dark, and Chen Xian is not as warm as the sun, because his personality is not warm, if you really want to compare it... . Chen Xian may be more like a touch of moonlight that seems to have no temperature but is always present.

Although sometimes he feels too indifferent and calm, but when people need it, he can always be seen when they turn their heads.

Mu He was also very happy listening to the sound of Chen Xian firing up the fire. After all, he had been living in the Ningchuan branch during this period and ate all the canteen food, although those dishes were also made by the chef assigned by the secret bureau. The color and fragrance are all available, but Muhe didn't like it after eating for a while, and I always felt that something was missing.

"He is... cooking?" Mr. Skull squatted on the threshold and swayed from left to right, as unstable as there are nails under his buttocks. He was talking and also constantly organizing language. After all, the common sense of human society came to it. Said they are all new things, "Why don't you just eat them?"

"It's not delicious, Chen Xian made delicious, um...super delicious!"

Mu He jumped to find a clean place to sit under the locust tree in the courtyard. His two white and slender legs hung under the stone pier and swayed constantly, looking towards the kitchen from beginning to end. Once she smelled the smell of meat faintly wafting out of the house, she would secretly swallow her saliva, praying that Chen Xian would soon be starving to death after finishing the meal!

At this moment, the door of the old house was knocked suddenly.

Mr. Skeleton sitting on the door of the kitchen raised his head, as if sensing who was outside the door, looked back at Chen Xian who was cooking in the kitchen, and then lowered his head again.

"Help me to open the door."

Chen Xian was frying the shredded beef in the pot and turned on the cooker hood while talking. At this moment, he found that the giant binaural pan of the same model in the hotel could no longer meet his needs. Judging by the increasing appetite of everyone. ...Maybe you should buy some special kitchen utensils for the canteen, such as the kind that can stew a pig in a pot.

He had seen that kind of cauldron in the cafeteria of the Ningchuan branch. He just didn't know if he could buy one in-house.

Hearing Chen Xian's voice, Mu He said "Oh" and banged on his slippers and ran to open the door.

Opening the door, Mu He looked out cautiously, and then...

"Boom!"

Looking at the door that he closed in front of him, Mu He seemed a little uneasy. According to the memory in his mind, he unfamiliarly imitated Chen Xian's steps to lock the door.

"Who?" Chen Xian's voice came from the kitchen.

"No one outside!" Mu He replied crisply, and then ran to the kitchen door quickly, blocking Chen Xian who was about to come out to take a look, his face was full of cute smiles, and his voice was still soft." Chen Xian, Chen Xian, is the meal ready?"

"Alright." Chen Xian nodded, and glanced at the door with some confusion, "No one is outside? Could someone knock on the wrong door?"

Mr. Skull, who was squatting on the threshold, yawned. Hearing Chen Xian's muttering words, he glanced back at him.

"It seems to be the human named Lu and the woman, I can smell them."

Mu He gave Mr. Skull angrily, looking very strange that it was troublesome.

"They are not thieves, what are you doing when you lock the door?" Chen Xian gave Mu He a helpless look, took a towel and wiped his hands, and walked to open the door of the old house under Mu He's very unhappy eyes.

I have to say that Mr. Skull's nose is really sensitive, and it is indeed Lu Yisheng and Xu Yanan standing outside the door at this moment.

Compared to Lu Yisheng, who was a little worried, Xu Yanan seemed much more at ease. After returning to rest for a night, she seemed to have changed herself. She couldn't see how she was forced to despair on Jiuling Mountain yesterday, and she was very simple. The bright casual clothes reveal a fresh and natural atmosphere, which is a bit more cordial than the cold and inhuman appearance in the past.

If flowers can be used to describe a woman, Xu Yanan at this moment is like a tulip blooming in the warm sun.

A bit noble and elegant, a bit pretty and moving.

"Why did you two come together?" Chen Xian leaned against the door frame, and seemed to be back when he first met Xu Yanan, but now he can no longer see hostility on his face, just a very suspicious expression. .

"Come here to see you, and thank you by the way." Xu Yanan raised the fruit basket in his hand and handed it to Chen Xian, with a rare smile from the heart, "It looks like you are recovering pretty well!"

"We met at the intersection...what..." Lu Yisheng smiled and handed Chen Xian a basket of eggs. "Boss, if you didn't show off your power yesterday, we might just Got to hang up...Thank you!"

Chen Xian looked at the two of them silently, then looked at the meeting gift they were handing, and then received the hand with a complicated expression, wondering in his heart...Whether the two of them are here to find the difference or to come. Congested yourself? You don’t look like that kind of mean and mean, why do you give away such a thing as soon as you come to your door?

This basket of eggs was bought at the vegetable market, and the red mark of "XX Farmer’s Market" can be seen on the edge of the bamboo basket. As for the fruit basket, it is also familiar to you, like...

"You bought it at the entrance of the People's Hospital?" Chen Xian asked tentatively.

"No, no, I bought it in other places, so it looks strange..." Xu Yanan hurriedly denied, considering him, "Shall we go in and talk again?"

Chen Xian nodded, giving them a way with a complicated expression.

The moment Lu Yisheng stepped into the gate, Chen Xian suddenly pressed his shoulder with his hand.

"Why..... What's the boss?" Lu Yisheng looked very nervous, and his heart was up and down, for fear that Chen Xian would still be angry because of his reaction yesterday.

In fact, after the parting last night, Lu Yisheng returned to the branch and did not fall asleep for one night. He knew that Chen Xian was not a bad person, and he also knew how serious this seemingly indifferent friend was for him. , At least for so many years...he is the only one who is willing to stand in front of him when encountering danger.

Just when Lu Yisheng was thinking about how to apologize to Chen Xian, Chen Xian looked at the basket of eggs in his hand, and then showed a kind and friendly smile.

"Had breakfast?"

Hearing this unpredictable question, Lu Yisheng instinctively shook his head and said that he hadn't eaten yet.

"It's fine without eating."

Chen Xian smiled slightly, the face that had little expression in front of outsiders also seemed much gentler at the moment, and the smile on his eyebrows only made people feel like spring breeze, and then he looked at the fruit basket in the other hand.

"Miss Xu, how about you?"

"Me??" Xu Yanan was taken aback, completely unexpected that this straight steel man would ask such a question politely. This was the first time I saw this kind of politeness, "Neither did I.....also." Didn't eat..."

Chen Xian nodded in satisfaction, carrying the egg and the fruit basket to the kitchen, and said without looking back.

"You have a blessing."
