Chapter 81 Human Nature

Time flies, and January has passed in a blink of an eye.

The temperature between the sky and the earth has gradually risen, and it has officially entered the season of early summer.

Crunch!

The door of the room opened slowly, and the light of the golden sun in the morning penetrated straight in.

"Hmm~"

Standing at the threshold, Lin Jiu raised his hands high and stretched greatly.

"Kakkaka!"

In an instant, there was a crackling sound of fried beans.

"Cool!"

He squinted his eyes lazily, as if he was enjoying the wonderful feeling of stretching his body.

Immediately, I saw him put his hands on his hips again, twist his neck, twist his waist again, three times to the left and three times to the right...

"Master, morning!"

On the open space outside the door, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, who had woken up at some time and were exercising, were saying hello to Lin Jiu.

However, compared with the smiling and energetic Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai's state is obviously a bit wrong. Not to mention the weakness in the greeting, even the movements of exercising are extremely soft.

At this time, Qiu Sheng wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, walked quickly towards the house, and said to Lin Jiu:
"Master, I'm going to wash your face."

"Ah."

Lin Jiu nodded flatly while moving his body.

Then, he looked at Wen Cai again:
"Wen Cai, how's your practice going?"

"..."

Wen Cai's eyes were distracted, and he continued to punch that weak fist with his hands, as if he didn't hear Lin Jiu's words at all.

"Literary talent?!"

Seeing this, Lin Jiu frowned, and couldn't help but slightly raised his volume.

"Huh? What?"

Wen Cai's body shook, and he turned his head to look at Lin Jiu, with a look of sleepiness on his face.

"I asked you how your practice has been recently? What's the matter with you, absent-minded?"

Seeing this, Lin Jiu frowned:
"You brat, what's going on in the past two days?"

"Ah? Master, I'm fine, it's just..."

Hearing the sound, Wen Cai subconsciously grabbed the hem of his trousers, and then quickly replied:
"It's just that I have suffered from insomnia recently and haven't slept well... As for practicing, is it okay?"

"Insomnia?"

Looking at Wen Cai's obvious black eyes, Lin Jiu shook his head and didn't ask any more questions.

It's just that I feel a little speechless in my heart. This age is not the kind of sensuality, and the future generations who have all kinds of entertainment methods can still suffer from insomnia?

"Master, the water is ready."

At this time, I saw Qiu Sheng trotting over.

"it is good."

Nodding his head, Lin Jiu said to the two:
"Hurry up and wipe off your sweat, and then we'll go to the teahouse."

"Forehead……"

Hearing this, Qiu Sheng felt a little embarrassed on his face, then scratched his head and said:

"Master, you and Wencai can go, I won't go, I have something to do."

"Huh? Is something wrong?"

Lin Jiu looked at Qiu Sheng suspiciously, and when he saw the expression on the other's face, he knew something in his mind.

He was also unambiguous, directly stating:

"Is it because of Anne?"

"hey-hey……"

Wen Cai sneered twice, neither acknowledging nor refuting, but apparently acquiescing.

"That's fine, then Wencai will go with me."

Shaking his head, Lin Jiu looked at Wen Cai.

Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, Wen Cai at the side said:
"Master... I won't go either."

"Aren't you going either?"

Lin Jiu raised his eyebrows. In the past, when these two guys heard that they had a lot of fun going to the teahouse, it was really strange today.

"Yes, master, go by yourself, I feel so sleepy, I need to go back to sleep... Ha~~"

Wen Cai yawned while talking.

"Forget it, let's go."

Seeing this, Lin Jiu had no choice but to wave his hand.

"Then... Master, I'm going to sleep."

Seeing this, Wen Cai walked into the room while talking and yawning.

"Master, then I'm leaving too..."

Waving at Lin Jiu, Qiu Sheng turned around and began to trot, with a bright smile on his face.

"This stinky boy..."

Looking at Qiusheng's leaving back, Lin Jiu shook his head silently.

Since the zombie incident a month ago, Annie and Qiusheng have gradually come together. Although they haven't made it clear directly, they feel more like friends than friends.

Lin Jiu naturally noticed this, but he didn't object.

Firstly, it was because Maoshan belonged to the orthodox sect and did not object to things like marriage. Of course, this was for Qiusheng, who was not yet a real disciple of Maoshan.

Qiusheng and Wencai can only be regarded as the registered disciples who kowtowed to Lin Jiu as their teacher, and they did not go to the Maoshan Zongtan to perform the ceremony of accepting the sect.

And if someone like Lin Jiu's true biography of Maoshan wants to get married, he must first go through the eyes of his brothers and others, and get the approval of most of the people.

The second is to get the master's seal script, and after that, it is to report to the patriarch.

It can be regarded as a minor third trial, if it passes, you can get married.

Secondly, it was Qiusheng's own physical problem.

After he was bitten by a zombie, Lin Jiu could be said to have cured him, but there were hidden dangers in it.

That is, the corpse poison in his body has penetrated into the heart veins and cannot be completely eradicated. Lin Jiu can only let him modify the exercise - "Pure Yang Gong".

The pure yang energy in this method suppresses the corpse poison in the heart veins, but this method of suppression also has certain disadvantages, that is, it will amplify the desire in Qiu Sheng's heart.

And his desire...

It is lust!

In short, he can open the "harem" openly, and Lin Jiu can't say anything about it, because it's because of his body.

Only after the "Chun Yang Gong" is completely perfected, and he changes to the formal Maoshan disciple's kung fu, can he completely get better.

However, it was precisely because of this that Qiu Sheng could be considered to have gained certain benefits, because his body had been transformed by corpse poison, and his strength was far beyond that of ordinary people.

"Uncle Jiu, good morning."

When Lin Jiu was walking on the street towards the teahouse, someone was saying hello to him, but...

The vast majority of people, however, were completely different from the past, turning a blind eye to him, their faces full of indifference, as if they hadn't seen him as a living person.

Seeing this, Lin Jiu shook his head. This situation has lasted for a month, and he is almost used to it.

After he ordered the corpses of those people to be set on fire, news came out from somewhere that the people who were killed by the zombies could be buried in the ground instead of being burned.

It's just that he, Lin Jiu, was afraid of trouble and didn't want to spend more effort, so he chose to do this.

There were also rumors that if Lin Jiu hadn't gone out, he would have stayed safely in the church, maybe everyone would be fine.

All in all, those residents of Jiuquan Town who lost their family members complained about Lin Jiu.

And the other people who have been hurt by zombies, after being cured, do not know what they think, and they don't want to have too much contact with Lin Jiu.

perhaps……

Is it because of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages?

Moreover, even because of being angered by everyone, Boss Chen's restaurant has become deserted, and the prosperity of the past, and the continuous stream of crowds have disappeared.

Boss Chen was also greatly shocked by this, but he couldn't say anything, because the reason why Lin Jiu left the church was indeed because he begged him to find Annie.

Fortunately, his family's financial resources are strong, far beyond the restaurant business here in Jiuquan Town, otherwise, he might not be able to persist long ago.

blah blah blah...

Along the threshold, Lin Jiu slowly stepped into the teahouse.

"Ninth Uncle, you are here."

On the side, the guy who was pouring tea for the guests saw him immediately, and then walked up to meet him quickly.

"Ah."

Lin Jiu nodded gently and said:

"It's still the same."

After saying that, he looked inside and found that the table that had been vacant all along, so to speak, had been occupied by someone.

So, he had no choice but to walk towards another empty table by the window.

"Wow!"

But at this time, the noise in the teahouse fell silent, and most people looked at Lin Jiu with indifference.

Lin Jiu chose to turn a blind eye to this and sat down.

Then, just as Lin Jiu took his seat, he saw a person sitting next to him take out tea money from his pocket, put it on the table, and suddenly got up and walked out.

Squeak!Squeak!
The sound of stools rubbing against the ground sounded one after another, and then seven or eight people got up one after another and walked towards the door.

A few of them walked and said coldly:

"Drinking tea early in the morning is also an eyesore, why don't you come here in the future?"

Someone answered:

"I think it's better for us not to come here. He is a regular customer and has a high seniority. He can't afford to offend him. What if one day we are bitten by zombies and want to set us on fire?"

"I can't afford it, I can't afford it!"

Another person shook his head and got up, and when he walked out, he glanced at Lin Jiu, with a hint of hatred in his eyes.

Lin Jiu's complexion didn't change at all, he had a clear conscience.

As for the explanation?

No need!
Moreover, the rumors have spread too widely, and the content has already deteriorated. These people have their own subjective assumptions in their hearts, and they will not believe them.

This……

It's human nature!
