Lu Jiu rubbed her butt with a painful look on her face.
Fortunately, there was no bleeding, otherwise he would have been embarrassed enough.
The noise he made was quite big. The residents of Xiaoji Island around him all snickered when they saw Lu Jiu's appearance. Naturally, the boss who was grilling skewers on the side also noticed it.
Only when he saw the shattered plastic stool behind Lu Jiu did the boss know what had happened.
He ran over with an apologetic look and said sheepishly: "I'm sorry, guest, are you not injured?"
Lu Jiu rubbed his butt and waved his hand: "It's okay, just give me another stool."
He was still a little puzzled.
Why did the stool suddenly break when it was working fine?
Could it be that I have gained weight because I have eaten so much recently?
The kebab boss quickly gave Lu Jiu a different stool and said he would give him a free order as an apology.
Lu Jiu thought that it was not easy for this boss, plus he had a good attitude and he was not short of money, so he refused.
At this time, there were also a few customers sitting in twos and threes next to Wu Liuqi's beef offal stall.
Of course, many people eat offal because the scissors played by Wu Liuqi are very fancy.
In other words, it’s just for a sense of freshness.
After about half an hour, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening.
Almost all the residents in Chicken Park have gone home to rest.
There were no customers around Wu Liuqi's cattle cart.
After stretching, Wu Liuqi began to pack up his stall and prepare to go home for dinner.
Lu Jiu watched him push the cart away. His beer and meat skewers were almost gone, so he got up and walked towards home.
This kid, Ah Qi, must have been living like this day after day before he became an assassin.
Plain, yet fulfilling.
On the way home, the yellowish lights on the roadside made me feel a little intoxicated.
Lu Jiu walked slowly on the road, looking up at the night sky.
When I was approaching the door of my house, a dark figure suddenly rushed out.
"Ouch!"
Qiongha wagged his tail crazily and stuck out his tongue at Lu Jiu.
Seeing this, Lu Jiu touched the dog's head, took out the key and opened the door.
I looked up and saw that the streetlight next to my door was flickering, flickering on and off as if having a convulsion.
"Why is this street light broken? Really..."
With a grunt, Lu Jiu shook her head, opened the door, walked into the house, and closed the door.
The poor guy followed him up.
…
The days are dull, and time always flies by inadvertently.
After knowing Wu Liuqi's daily schedule, Lu Jiu did not follow him all the time.
There is no danger on Xiaoji Island for the time being, and I don't need to protect him at all times.
Besides, although Ah Qi is a bit ridiculous, he is an adult after all and should know how to protect himself.
However, when Lu Jiu was wandering around, he discovered that the two killers before had not long enough to remember and wanted to collect protection money from Ah Qi.
After being dealt with by Lu Jiu, these two boys finally became more honest.
When Lu Jiu was teaching them a lesson, he even said cleverly in front of Lu Jiu that he had never seen him before.
When Lu Jiu heard this, he nodded and thought it made sense.
So the intensity of the beatings increased.
Humph! Don’t you know me? Can I slap you both so lightly that you both lose your memory?
After cleaning up, Lu Jiu patted the dust on his hands.
The phone sounded the message notification tone again.
Lu Jiu ignored it. His cell phone had been ringing all day.
Because today is the day when the tenants pay their rent.
Glancing at Ah Qi who was performing a scissor show, Lu Jiu turned around and walked towards the park.
A few days ago, he discovered that if he didn't follow this boy Ah Qi, there would be nothing he could do.
I don’t need to work like everyone else, so I feel busy all day long.
Lu Jiu doesn't know how to play cards or anything like that, so it's better not to touch gambling.
He is now going to the park to play chess with the elders.
In the park, several old men gathered around a stone bench, with their hands behind their backs, watching carefully.
A bald old man wearing a white T-shirt was having a fierce fight with the tall, thin old man opposite.
Lu Jiu recognized these two uncles. They were Uncle Wang and Uncle Zhang who had hung him up and beaten him two days ago.
Lu Jiu shamelessly approached.
"Hey, Xiao Lu is here, want to have a game?"
When he saw Lu Jiu, Uncle Zhang, who was deep in thought, smiled happily and greeted him warmly.
Several uncles around also made room for Lu Jiu.
As for why I am so enthusiastic about Lu Jiu, a "rookie" bad chess player...
There are only a few people fighting back and forth all day long. Finally, you have a rookie who can be bullied casually. How can you still let him run away?
Lu Jiu also knew what Lao Wang and Lao Zhang were thinking.
But he came prepared today!
Lu Jiu smiled and waved his hand: "Next round, next round!"
"Okay, Xiao Lu, just wait, I'll kill this guy Lao Wang right now!"
Lao Zhang waved his hand domineeringly and said with great pride.
When Lao Wang heard this, he smiled disdainfully: "You are the only one who still wants to kill me? Go home and practice for another ten years or so!"
"Hey...you old boy, stop saying harsh words and let me show you the truth!"
"I'm afraid you won't make it!"
The two old men blew their beards and glared, and the atmosphere suddenly became heated.
Lu Jiu put his hands behind his back and secretly learned the technique with a smile.
The chessboard was carved on the stone table, and the chess pieces used by Lao Wang, Lao Zhang and others were all made of wood.
This set of chess is dark in color and extremely smooth to the touch. I don’t know how many generations of old men have played it.
Lao Wang and Lao Zhang thought carefully about every move they made, then they lifted the chess high, dropped it hard, and landed on the chessboard with a snap.
Snapped!
No, Lao Zhang drove his chariot straight in and mercilessly ate up one of Lao Wang's pawns.
Lao Wang laughed, jumped his horse, which was still lying in wait, and ate up his chariot.
Lao Zhang is here! Lao Zhang is gone!
Lao Zhang angrily scratched the few strands of his hair with a depressed look on his face.
Regardless of whether this step is useful or not, the momentum must be sufficient! The posture given to Bai must be handsome!
Learned, learned!
Lu Jiu nodded, very seriously.
Then not long after, the reckless old man Zhang was given to the general by the silver coin old king.
Lao Zhang was so angry at Lao Wang, this sinister guy, that he almost overturned the chessboard.
But the chessboard is made of stone.
Lu Jiu burst out laughing when he saw this.
Although he hasn't been with these old men for long, it is not difficult to see that Lao Wang is an old yinbi and Lao Zhang is an old reckless man.
Every time Lao Zhang takes advantage of Lao Wang, he will pay a heavy price.
"Come on, come on! Xiao Lu, sit down!"
With Lao Zhang gone, Lao Wang quickly and enthusiastically took care of Lu Jiu and sat down for a round.
Lu Jiu was not modest either. He smiled and sat down.
"Hey, look at your attitude, Xiao Lu, I'm sure you came prepared today!"
Lao Wang was surprised when he saw this.
Lu Jiu didn't answer when he heard this and smiled.
After the chess pieces were laid out, the war between the two began quickly.
Lao Wang would habitually set up his position every time, defend to the death, move forward step by step, cannibalize the opponent's moves step by step, and finally win.
Lu Jiu was tortured miserably by Lao Wang two days ago.
However, Lu Jiu will not be like the reckless old man Lao Zhang and give everything in vain every time.
Lao Zhang is the most sinister among this group of old men, and also the one with the best skills.
So while standing by and watching the battle, Lu Jiu would study Lao Zhang's tactics.
Lu Jiu was not idle when he got home. He downloaded a chess game and used Lao Zhang's tricks to deal with humans and machines.
The result was, of course, a crushing defeat, a clean and tidy defeat.
But Lu Jiu believed that he was talented and gifted.
He began to learn man-machine tactics to deal with Lao Zhang's tactics.
So today he came to confront Lao Zhang with full confidence.
Then……
He gave it to him for free.
After taking Lu Jiu's chess and making him the bare commander, Lu Jiu announced that he was cool.
The fun of chess lies in the ever-changing battle situation, where one move affects the whole body, step by step, and foresight.
It is not very possible to win the game with a fixed routine.
For these old men who are proficient in chess, the tactics Lu Jiu learned from humans and machines are of little use. Even Lu Jiu does not have humans and machines who can adapt to changes.
So losing is completely normal.
Lao Wang laughed loudly and said domineeringly: "Next one!"
Lu Jiu was a little depressed and stood up to give up his position to the next challenger.
After looking at the time, it was almost time to eat. Lu Jiu said something to a few old men and went home.
Lao Wang probably didn't know that he had defeated the best swordsman in the world.
And it was a unilateral crushing.
This is enough for him to brag about for a lifetime.
Before he got home, Lu Jiu saw a fat guy wearing sunglasses and a tie standing at the door of his house.
Chicken Dabao?
Lu Jiu was a little surprised and walked over.
"What's the matter with you?" Lu Jiu asked doubtfully.
Ji Dabao felt a shadow covering him, turned his head, looked up at Lu Jiu, and his eyes lit up.
"You should be the landlord, Mr. Lu, hello! I am your tenant Ji Dabao!"
Chicken Dabao stretched out his hand and said diligently.
Lu Jiu leaned down, shook his wings, and nodded.
"Mr. Lu, um, I'm here to pay the rent. Here it is for you!"
Ji Dabao took out a pile of money from his pocket and handed it to Lu Jiu.
Lu Jiu took the money and stuffed it into his pocket, wondering: "Why don't you just send it to me?"
Although there is no such thing as chicken-eating pesticides on the mobile phone, there is still software that can be used to transfer money, and Lu Jiu also uses this.
Most of his tenants also use the software.
Although Lu Jiu has many tenants, he does not come to collect rent one by one.
That's why Lu Jiu was a little confused about Ji Dabao's behavior of coming to pay rent.
When Ji Dabao heard this, a drop of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he said nonchalantly: "Well...well, I didn't have time to deposit the money in the bank today, so..."
Although he said this, it was actually because he didn't have enough money.
The business of Ah Qi Niu Zai stall is getting worse and worse.
When he first set up a stall outside Ruozhi Elementary School, Ah Qi's business was very prosperous, and Ji Dabao spent all day counting money during those days.
Because many children want a sense of novelty.
Although Ah Qi's scissor juggling is very unique and looks quite attractive.
But not long after the time passed, the children's enthusiasm gradually faded.
People always like the new and hate the old. When the enthusiasm subsides, Ah Qi's business will gradually deteriorate.
Ji Dabao paid back the money he owed not long ago, only to find out that he had to pay the rent today.
Then Ji Dabao found that his capital chain was about to break...
Ah Qi sold for a whole day today and just barely got enough money.
That's why Ji Dabao came to pay the rent now.
Thinking of this, Ji Dabao sighed secretly.
It seems that it is time for me to ask Ah Qi to consider changing industries.
Otherwise, if we continue like this, we will definitely become a street person who can’t even afford to eat...
