The alley is not long.

Huai Shi walked for two minutes and ended up, but he seemed to be intercepted.

A pale hand stretched out from behind him without warning and pressed his shoulder. Huai Shi turned around in surprise and saw the girl standing in the shadow of the corner.

Wearing a white dress, her long hair spilled from her shoulders like black water.

She also wore a mask.

It seems to be looking for someone to help.

"Sorry." Huai Shi felt a little embarrassed: "I didn't see you just now."

Indeed, she hid too well, and Huai Shi was also shocked.

"Is there anything you need help?" Huai Shi asked.

It seemed like the first time someone asked such a question, the girl was stunned for a moment, staring at him with her eyes straight, as if she was looking at a fool.

Then, she suddenly asked, "Am I beautiful?"

Suddenly asked this...

Huai Shi looked at her and thought about it. She looked pretty good in figure, but wearing a mask was hard to say.

But soon, she seemed to notice something was wrong, squinted her eyes, looked down at Huai Shi's chest, and then saw a faint emblem that appeared on her clothes at some point.

It's a small pipa.

The girl frowned, and soon reacted, bowed slightly and said, "I've been disturbed", and turned around and left.

"Uh, wait a moment."

Huai Shi stopped her, and the girl turned around, looking at him with cold and confusing eyes.

Huai Shi was a little embarrassed by the look of that look. After a long time of grunting, she sighed: "Although it was so direct and not good for the first time to meet, but you have asked, and I can't help it..."

He reached out and pointed at her forehead.

"If you can't use this foundation for dry skin, you will have acne."

“…”

Thanks to the teachings and influences of a certain Cowherd's first brother, Huai Shi now regrets this kind of terrible tone: "Your skin is really good, it's a pity. How do you do your skin care?"

“…”

The girl seemed stunned and stood there. Only Huai Shi was still teaching her experience: "If you have time, how about you try the essence of mkii? I don't know if you can buy it here... But you can't wash your face with your skin too frequently, so you should pay attention to it in the future."

As he spoke, he suddenly took a step back and carefully looked at the shocked girl in front of him from beginning to end.

Finally, her eyes fell on her face and she frowned.

I always feel something is wrong.

Looking at the harsh gaze, the girl subconsciously wanted to dodge, hide her face in the shadow, and turned around and left.

"Stop and don't move."

Huai Shi's tone became serious, and then a cold sword light burst out from his hand, stepped forward and flashed by.

The bangs, which were originally a bit too long, instantly became shorter, and they stopped on top of their eyebrows, revealing big eyes that were a little panicked.

Immediately afterwards, Huai Shi's movements swept over quickly, and then he tried to finish it.

It's time to work together.

He took a step back, looked at his work with satisfaction, and waved his hand to dissipate the sword light.

"That's right!"

He nodded with satisfaction, pinched a piece of radiant iron piece, wiped it on the clothes, and handed it to the surprised girl in front of him: "Look, a face like you will look better if you have a face like you... I just felt something was wrong, and the bangs were too long."

The girl held the iron piece in surprise and looked at herself in disbelief in her reflection. Her big black eyes trembled and could not speak.

"Now, it's a little more beautiful than before."

As such, the young man solemnly answered her question just now.

For some reason, she couldn't help but lower her head and felt her cheeks under the mask get hot.

"Okay, I'm leaving too, goodbye."

Huai Shi turned around and waved her hand and said, "It's late. I heard that it's quite dangerous outside. I have to go home early."

After only two steps, he heard a nervous voice behind him.

"Wait, wait a moment..."

"Um?"

The girl lowered her head and subconsciously rubbed the corner of her clothes with her fingers: "Night, it's almost time tonight. If you don't dislike it, can you come to my house to rest? Yes, by the way, you haven't eaten dinner yet..."

Huai Shi was stunned for a moment and heard an awkward voice coming from her belly.

Sure enough, I was a little hungry.

"……May I?"

He felt a little embarrassed.

Is this good thing about being a village head barber for the first time?

"You are a guest recognized by Lord Mother-of-Pian Ji, so you must be sure."

As if afraid that he would regret it, the girl walked ahead first, took the lead, and looked back at him: "Please follow me."

"Ah, OK."

Huai Shi followed behind and remembered that she did not introduce herself: "By the way, my name is Huai Shi, a native of Dongxia, what is the name?"

"Ma, Mai."

The girl walking in front reported her name: "Just call me Mai."

"OK."

Huai Shi walked behind her and followed her on the way home.

As expected, the place was not far away, and we arrived after walking two hundred meters.

It is a common house with a small courtyard and parking space, but I didn’t see the car, so I probably drove away.

"The house is simple, please don't care."

She took Huai Shi through the dusty door with some shame. She pushed open the door and shouted inside: "Grandma, I'm back."

"Ma Yi came back so early today." A kind voice sounded from the kitchen and walked quickly towards the entrance. It was an old woman wearing a gray local Yingzhou costume, her hair was folded up and she looked meticulous.

But his face was covered with wrinkles, which were so many that it was a little scary.

Seeing Huai Shi beside Mai, he was stunned for a moment: "Oh, have you brought guests? It's so rare..."

"Yes, it's Lord Mother-of-Pian Ji's guest. I happened to meet it, just... "

Mai lowered her head, dodged the old man's eyes, and subconsciously wanted to hide her hairstyle. The old man seemed to understand something, and his eyes wandered between the two of them. Soon, he greeted Huai Shi enthusiastically.

"Why are you still standing there? Don't you invite the guests to sit down?"

She bent down and handed Huai Shi a pair of slippers. After asking Huai Shi to sit down in the middle of the living room, Ma Yi brought the tea. It seemed that she didn't make tea, but Huai Shi smelled with a rich fragrance of flowers.

"Please treat this place as your own."

The old man said enthusiastically: "In the secluded world, Lord Mother and White God has always taken good care of our family... Today is the time to repay the favor, so please do not refuse."

"Oh, OK."

The mother-of-pearl Ji they mentioned seemed to be the woman who played the pipa? Huai Shi vaguely reacted that she seemed to be regarded as a distinguished guest because of her reasons?

OK.

Not only are there a place to sleep, but there is also a free dinner to eat.

He couldn't wait.

Hearing the sound from Huai Shi's belly, the old man smiled warmly: "It just so happened that Ma Yi's father had just brought back fresh meat and could entertain guests. Please wait..."

As she said that, she stood up and bent down toward the huge box placed in the entrance hall.

He reached out and walked into the kitchen with a light buckle.

Huai Shi's eyes were glaring out.

I have some strength, auntie!

Such a big box, at least enough to hold one person, can be lifted up at will...

Just as he passed by, the box vibrated violently, as if someone was struggling hard. With a bang, a man trapped in a solid manner forced open the lid from inside and struggled to come out.

He was beaten so badly.

Bluish nose and swollen face.

There was a torn towel in his mouth, which looked very embarrassed.
