A knife can be strengthened 10,000 times

025. Every year there is more than enough, every year there is fish (for collection, for flowers)

Walking down from the East City Gate, Yan Xiang saw that Xia Yi was in a heavy mood, thought about it, and suddenly said with a smile:

"The topic just now may be a bit too heavy, let's go, I'll take you to a lighter place."

"easy?"

"Well, easy."

Riding on his own will-o'-the-wisp, Yan Xiang led Xia Yi all the way to Bar Street again.

Looking at the tourists sitting in twos and threes by the window on the bar street, Xia Yi felt...a strange sense of unreality.

Just a few days ago, there was a battle here...

But people here seem to know nothing...

And Yan Xiang seemed to see the thoughts in his heart, and said:

"Ignorance is actually blissful sometimes, right?"

Xia Yi was noncommittal:

"Maybe. I don't know if ignorance is lucky or not, but I think that there has never been a quiet time in this world. It's just that someone helps you carry the burden forward."

"Tsk... After all, it's a black-hearted shop assistant who has a set of tricks to deceive tourists."

"Screw you."

Xia Yi rolled his eyes, looked left and right, and asked:

"Where are you taking me?"

"Remember that mangy dog ​​you beheaded?"

"A first-class monster?"

"Yes, we call it a mangy dog. It is caused by eating some demon flesh by mistake. And the owner of the arm it gnawed...is a waiter. He works in a cat cafe, and the owner of the cat cafe has always wanted to thank you You avenged her clerk, and I want to buy you a cup of coffee. I'll follow along~"

"...Cat coffee?"

Xia Yi was taken aback for a moment, then blinked, and said:

"Couldn't you be talking about the "Youjian·Cat Cafe"?"

"Yo, you know?"

"Isn't this nonsense? Who doesn't know this coffee shop in the ancient city? It is said that the proprietress of the shop is super beautiful. She seems to be the mistress of a certain big shot. She likes cats, so she came here to open this coffee shop..."

"It's just a rumor. The proprietress is a monster, a cat monster."

"...is it really a monster?"

"Well. Don't worry, the other party is a legal citizen on record. He abides by the law and has no bad records. He has lived for hundreds of years, and he knows many senior awakened people, and he has a wide range of paths. I will remember to have a better attitude later. .”

"..."

Xia Yi was speechless, and followed Yan Xiang all the way to the door of a coffee house with clean windows and modern style.

Through the window, he had already seen a few cats lying lazily on the cat shelf next to the glass.

There are Ragdolls, such precious species as Golden Gradients, and there are also a few slapstick raccoon cats...

As soon as he entered the room, he heard a "Welcome", and then saw several guests sitting at the long table in the middle.

And these guests have a very common feature, that is, they all have an Apple laptop in front of them.

Well, it looks like an old Starbucks.

Yan Xiang is familiar with the road, greeted the young and beautiful shop assistant, and said:

"Look for Boss Yu, my name is Yan Xiang."

The clerk in front of the counter heard it and nodded with a smile:

"Please wait a moment, both of you."

Then walked across the counter and towards the backyard.

And at some point, several cats had gathered around, led by a leopard cat with shiny and moist fur, all squatting in front of Xia Yi, with a pair of vertical pupils staring at him.

"Tsk tsk, walking soft girl coin."

Yan Xiang looked at the leopard cat and sighed.

Xia Yi also knows that this kind of leopard cat is very expensive to sell, an ordinary one costs 30 to [-] yuan, and one with a little bloodline may cost more than [-] to [-] yuan.

But these cats looked really cute, so he squatted down and stretched out his hand to the leading leopard cat:

"Meow meow?"

then……

The master glanced at his palm, turned his head in disgust, and left with his little brother.

Stupid earthlings.

"Hahaha."

Yan Xiang looked happy. At the same time, the clerk came back from the backyard blocked by the tie-dye curtain, and said to Yan Xiang:

"Sister Yu is in the backyard, the two guests can just go directly. Would you like something to drink?"

"An iced Americano."

After Yan Xiang finished speaking, he looked at Xia Yi.

Xia Yi shrugged indifferently:

"as same as him."

……

In the backyard, after opening the curtain, there is a garden full of singing birds and fragrant flowers.

The garden is surrounded by lawns, with only a row of bluestone paved paths in the middle.

Yan Xiang took Xia Yi around a corner, and the small courtyard suddenly opened up.

Xia Yi saw a woman casually lying on a European-style toffee chair at a glance, as if basking in the sun.

This "Boss Yu" is indeed very beautiful.

The age is about 30 years old, and the whole body exudes the perfect breath of the golden age of a woman.At the same time, there is no abnormality on his body, as if he is an extremely normal human being.

But Xia Yi instantly sensed something was wrong.

A faint sense of coolness appeared in his senses, with a slight rough friction feeling like being licked by a cat's tongue.

But this kind of coolness is not cold, and there is no disgusting rust like the demonized soldier that day.

His body tensed a little, then relaxed.

And at this moment, he heard the woman say:

"My name is Yu Nian, every year I have more than enough, and every year I have fish."

As she spoke, she stretched.

It's like a cat was woken up from a nap, with a hint of laziness. *

026. The corpse chaser (for collection, for flowers)

After introducing himself, Yu Nian sat up straight.

Under the sun, in the gazebo, she sat on the side exposed to the sun, gracefully pointing to the chair in the shade:

"Mr. two investigators, please sit down."

"Thank you, Boss Yu."

Yan Xiang responded first, and then sat down on the chair with Xia Yi.

Soon, the waiter brought two cups of Americano coffee with ice cubes, and then politely returned them.

Yu Nian is beautiful, really beautiful.

She was wearing a loose long skirt made of hemp material, although she couldn't tell what her figure was, but the elegance endowed by the years in her gestures and gestures made her beauty even more eye-catching.

But Xia Yi, who was stared at by her all the time, didn't look at it much, he just stirred the coffee and tasted it...

"how?"

Yu Nian asked.

Xia Yi shook his head:

"You talk to me about tea, and I can chat with you. You talk to me about coffee, and I think it's just average."

The corner of Yan Xiang's mouth twitched...

Just now, he forgot to tell Xia Yi one thing...

That is, even if Captain Xu sees this guy, he still has to respectfully call out "Boss Yu"...

So, he quickly smiled and said:

"Boss Yu, Lao Xia just joined the investigation bureau, don't mind."

Yu Nian shook his head, ignored Yan Xiang, and continued to ask:

"Do you like tea?"

"Ah."

"What do you like to drink?"

"They're all okay, Longjing, Jasmine, Taiping Houkui, Pu'er...don't really pick them."

Hearing this, Yu Nian instantly stopped the waiter who had just walked to the door:

"Xiaoli, bring me those old pancakes I treasured. By the way, bring me a new set of tea sets."

"Okay, boss."

"Investigator Xia, is Lao Banzhang okay?"

Xia Yi glanced at the woman who was still staring at him, and said:

"Can I say no?"

"Oh?"

The woman is like a cat aroused by curiosity, asking:

"Why? I don't even mention your team Xu with my old class. Even the head of the Yehai headquarters may not be able to drink."

Xia Yi shrugged:

"I know, Boss Yu, that you have a rich collection, but it's almost noon, and it's easy to get flustered if you drink tea before meals. Moreover, the weather will heat up after a while, and drinking tea is not as cool as coffee."

Yan Xiang's face turned green... But Yu Nian suddenly covered his mouth and laughed lightly.

She smiled nicely, like a lark, but it didn't look artificial at all.

A pair of beautiful eyes were full of smiles, looking at Xia Yi, she said:

"It seems that it is difficult for me to express my gratitude to Investigator Xia."

As she spoke, she sighed:

"Alas... But anyway, thank you, Investigator Xia, for allowing my miserable waiter to die."

Xia Yi asked back:

"With Boss Yu's ability, it shouldn't be difficult to protect her, right?"

This sentence took on a little tone, Yan Xiang quickly squeezed Xia Yi's leg under the chair, signaling him to be more careful when speaking.

And Yu Nian nodded after hearing it:
