052. Meeting colleagues

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't care at all about the expressions of the two of them at this time. He didn't even look at them and sent the guests away without saying a word, not wanting to have anything to do with them anymore.

The original hostess watched Gu Xiaoxiao hesitate to speak, but in the end she said nothing more. She supported the original host's father who finally got up from the ground, and the two lonely figures limped farther and farther away...

As soon as the original owner's parents left, Gu Xiaoxiao collapsed as if from a force, and fell into Zhou Zeyun's arms.

This is also the first time Zhou Zeyun has seen Gu Xiaoxiao look so weak!

"...Xiaoxiao, are you okay?" He gently hugged the woman in his arms and asked nervously and concernedly.

Gu Xiaoxiao was only feeling uncomfortable because of the physical reaction of the original owner. He tried his best to suppress the nausea just now, but now that the person left, he suddenly relaxed and lost all strength.

At this moment, she didn't want to think about anything, she just wanted to take a good rest, clinging to Zhou Zeyun's warm chest, feeling the tumbling in her stomach gradually stop, but her heartbeat was uncontrollable!

After half the payment, Gu Xiaoxiao felt calmer and slowly opened his eyes, but did not leave Zhou Zeyun's arms.

She said calmly: "I took your mother's hundred taels of silver notes to compensate you, and now I'm using this hundred taels of silver notes to end my relationship with my parents. Do you think I've gone too far?"

There is a touch of self-deprecation in it.

"No." Zhou Zeyun spoke softly, his voice gentle but firm, "We are all people who are not treated well by our parents, so I can understand you, and of course I will not accuse you of so-called filial piety. For me,

, my heart is definitely towards you!"

Hearing this, Gu Xiaoxiao froze, and when he looked carefully at his eyebrows, he saw a hint of the shyness of a young woman.

Her eyes fluttered, and she slowly raised her head to look at the man. When their eyes met, she saw herself in his eyes, reflected in his pupils.

Gu Xiaoxiao smiled, relieved of the bad mood caused by the original owner's parents just now, and Zhou Zeyun's full love and protection made her even more addicted to this moment!

"Don't think too much, you are not alone."

Zhou Zeyun saw that the woman in his arms had not spoken a word for a long time, thinking that she was still feeling uncomfortable, so he comforted her in a softer voice.

All he can do is to unconditionally support her, trust her, and give her strength at all times!

"Yeah, I'm not alone anymore." Gu Xiaoxiao smiled softly, with complicated eyes.

She is not only talking about Gu Xiaoxiao in this life, but also the lonely and helpless her in the last days.

With the experience of two lives, she occasionally became a little confused. Sometimes she woke up from dreams at night and looked at the ancient environment around her, and she was also in a daze.

Indeed, she is no longer a wandering orphan in the apocalypse with no one to care about her, nor is she an agent fighting through mountains and seas of fire. Now she has a lot, including children, him, and this family!

After the quarrel between the original owner's parents, Gu Xiaoxiao was not in the mood to go to town, not to mention it was getting late, so she planned to buy a servant the next day.

In the remaining time, she took a few taels of meat from the space to the village chief and Aunt Li's house next door. She also thanked them for what happened to Dabao before, and Aunt Zhao who came over at that time. She just gave her a little more in her wages.

The so-called repaying kindness means that people have tried their best!

At first, the village chief and Aunt Li were too embarrassed to accept it, but Gu Xiaoxiao tried hard to persuade them to refuse.

On the second day, Gu Xiaoxiao also set off for the town as planned, still driving a carriage. After all, the special functions of the space should be kept low-key, so that others would not notice it!

What's more, Gu Xiaoxiao only came to town this time for one thing, and she was not in a hurry. She drove the carriage and enjoyed the scenery along the way, very leisurely.

When she arrived in town, she drove the carriage directly to Yixing. As soon as she entered the door, she was greeted warmly by a fat woman.

The woman held the handkerchief and pretended, her waist was not obvious, and her face was full of smiles.

Gu Xiaoxiao calmly looked at the environment in the store and the woman, and he understood clearly in his heart.

It seems that this woman is the head in charge here!

The front hall of the dental store is not big and is only used to welcome customers.

There are no excessive decorations, just a small counter for settlement, and a few scattered chairs in the rest of the place.

Of course, this dental store is by no means as messy as the front hall. There is a curtain next to the counter, which leads to the backyard.

There are dozens of rooms in the backyard. Although each room is not large, the number is enough to imagine that the floor space will not be small.

The main business of the dental shop is to resell people, utensils and other things, so there must be enough space to house them.

The landlady here asked with a smile: "Hey! Madam, what do you want to buy when you come to us? I can recommend it to you!" Her smiling eyes narrowed to a slit, and her pupils were no longer visible.

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't show much expression and said calmly: "I want to buy some people who are good at martial arts."

The landlady immediately showed a look of understanding and led Gu Xiaoxiao straight to the backyard.

As she walked, she asked again: "I wonder if you want a boy or a girl? Are there any age requirements?"

"Both men and women are welcome. Regarding age, it's best to be younger so that it's easier to explain things." Gu Xiaoxiao replied.

If she were older, she wouldn't dare to manipulate him easily, she always felt like she was bullying the old man!

After thinking for a while, he said, "Bring here all the people who know martial arts, and I'll take a look before making a decision."

"Okay, ma'am, please wait here for a moment, I'll bring them here." Still smiling, the proprietress led Gu Xiaoxiao to the hall in the backyard.

After Gu Xiaoxiao nodded, she turned and left.

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at the woman's back and couldn't help but sigh.

The proprietress is really well-educated in the service industry, and she never fails to smile. If it were me who had to deal with so many people every day and have to worry about so many things, she would definitely be unqualified!

Then Gu Xiaoxiao sat on the large wooden chair, poured herself a cup of tea gently, put it to her mouth and sipped it carefully, waiting patiently for the landlady.

After a cup of tea, the proprietress came back, still smiling, followed by more than a dozen people, of varying heights, short, fat, and thin, men, women, old and young.

Gu Xiaoxiao waited until she came in front of him before putting down his tea cup and standing up. From the beginning to the end, he kept scanning the group of people behind the landlady.

The proprietress said enthusiastically from the side: "Madam, I have brought you all our people who know how to do martial arts, but I can only pick out these thirteen, see if there is any one you like!"

Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes were still looking at everyone brought by the landlady, and he just nodded lightly when he heard what the landlady said.

You must be careful when choosing the people around you. Morality and ability are indispensable. The most important thing is to have a good outlook on life. After all, there are children at home and they cannot be led away!

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at the payment for half a minute and didn't say a word. This made the landlady a little embarrassed, and the smile on her face was a bit forced.

After a moment of silence, just when she couldn't save her face anymore, Gu Xiaoxiao finally took action.

Gu Xiaoxiao took a few steps forward, approached the group of people, and stayed in front of everyone for a few seconds, still looking at them.

Although he still didn't speak, he still gave a reaction, which made the landlady regain his enthusiasm.

She stepped forward and followed Gu Xiaoxiao. Every time Gu Xiaoxiao stopped in front of someone, she introduced it to them. Of course, she talked about all the advantages, which made Gu Xiaoxiao feel like a real estate agency in the apocalypse for a moment!

"This girl's name is Xiaomei. Although her martial arts skills are not that high, she is warm-hearted and sweet-tongued. She has also stayed in a wealthy family. If you want to choose a girl to be close to you, she is very good!" the proprietress introduced with a grin.

The girl named Xiaomei did not disappoint the boss lady's hard recommendation. With a smile on her lips, she stepped forward in a decent manner, bowed to Gu Xiaoxiao, then raised her head and said with a smile: "Madam, I am lucky enough to be in this big house."

I have learned some martial arts moves, which are enough for daily self-defense. I also served as a steward in the courtyard, and I will definitely be able to serve my wife well in the future!"

Xiaomei's eyes were shining and she was not afraid of strangers at all. She acted very familiar with her when they first met.

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, but just stared at her for a moment, which made Xiaomei's heart tremble. Finally, Gu Xiaoxiao let out a soft "hmm" and went to look at other candidates.

He didn't say whether he liked it or not. Gu Xiaoxiao's face had always been plain and his attitude was ambiguous. Even the experienced boss lady couldn't guess what he meant.

But when Xiaomei heard the lady's response, she felt that she must have accepted her.

She also felt that with her qualifications, no one would look down upon her!

Thinking this way, his face became a little proud, and his back became straighter.

While Gu Xiaoxiao continued to search for someone who suited her eyes, Xiaomei was not among her considerations.

His eyes swept over them one by one. As long as Gu Xiaoxiao stayed in front of any one for more than three seconds, the landlady would enthusiastically step forward to introduce the best one.

Naturally, this is exactly what Gu Xiaoxiao wants. She doesn't need to ask herself, the landlady will "sell" her very comprehensively, and she can also learn about each person's personality and abilities from the landlady.

From a psychological perspective, she observed the truest look deep inside each person through their micro-expressions, so that she had something to think about, and the same was true for Xiaomei just now!

Looking at it like this, Gu Xiaoxiao walked up to a man. The man had a handsome face, but had a murderous spirit. He was about the same age as Zhou Zeyun.

The man kept his head lowered, with no expression on his face.

After Gu Xiaoxiao stared at him for a long time, he frowned quietly, his expression a little unnatural.

But still didn't raise his head.

When the lady boss saw that the customer was interested in the man, she smiled to herself.

This lady looks so cold, but she also loves beauty. Sure enough, regardless of men or women, good looks are popular!

But what the landlady didn't know was that with Zhou Zeyun Zhuyu in front of her, Gu Xiaoxiao no longer paid much attention to the appearance of any man.

The man in front of him has a good-looking face, but he can't compare to Zhou Zeyun.

The reason why Gu Xiaoxiao looked at him for so long was because she didn't expect to meet a professional killer in this small dental shop!

That's right! He is a killer, and he was trained from childhood.

Gu Xiaoxiao is an agent of the apocalypse, and the professional killers in ancient times can also be considered as her peers. The bloody smell of people in this industry cannot be concealed, and their peers can feel it.

That is to say, it was only when Gu Xiaoxiao entered the body of the original owner that the fierce aura of her previous life was wiped away.

In previous lives, there were many killers who would voluntarily admit defeat just after meeting her, because as soon as they let go of their murderous intent, they knew they couldn't beat her.

While Gu Xiaoxiao was staring at the man, she was mostly guessing the purpose of the man's appearance here. Is it related to the fact that Zhou Zeyun and Si Bao were poisoned back then?

The misunderstood boss lady cheerfully stepped forward and introduced her again: "Madam, you really have a good eye. This is the best-looking one among us. Don't look at how silent he is now. If you take him back, he will definitely make you happy."
