Knot under the moon

Chapter 3

The huge peach tree blooming in this silent night, like a sudden miracle, instantly captivated Li Yangui's eyes, making him unable to distinguish between reality and illusion for a moment.

"This is the sacred tree of our coffee shop. How about it? Isn't it super beautiful?" Lin Changfeng looked out the window and said, "This tree is the gate of the fantasy world. I am the gatekeeper tonight."

"..." Li Yangui looked away and said indifferently, "Wow, the lamp is so beautiful."

Lin Changfeng asked strangely, "What lamp?"

"It's nothing." Now that technology is so advanced, Li Yangui pretended not to notice that the flowers on the peach tree were made of lamps, followed what he said, and asked blankly, "What door do you monsters want to guard? What is the fantasy world? Tell me the specific setting."

Li Yangui figured it out, since he couldn't escape, he should just join, play with them for two months, and then he can slip away when his part-time job expires.

It's just that sometimes listening to them bragging and talking nonsense like this makes my hands itch.

Like now.

Lin Changfeng was shocked at first, then calmed down, and finally realized: "It's not unusual for a young demon like you not to know what the fantasy world is, but your parents must know. But if your parents don't know, then There is a problem, as a demon, you don’t know the fantasy world, that’s too uneducated.”

Restraint, restraint!

Li Yangui pressed his itchy hand: "May I ask what degree you have?"

"Me." Lin Changfeng touched his face in embarrassment, and smiled, "Studying in modern society is too troublesome, and it takes several years to study, so I don't have a diploma of this era, but I am old..."

"Eat the cake!" Li Yangui couldn't bear it any longer, he stuffed the cake in front of Lin Changfeng's chattering mouth, telling him to shut up.

Li Yangui found out that even if he wanted to blend in, his body instinct still told him he couldn't do it.

Since you can't do it, then you can't bear it, and the worst is to resign and leave.They were idiots, he wasn't, but he was more like an idiot when talking to them.

Fuck high daily wages!Fuck the weird clerk!And this mysterious boss who said he wanted to see him!

Li Yangui stood up aggressively and walked out. Lin Changfeng swallowed the cake with difficulty and stretched out his hand to keep him, but he burped loudly when he opened his mouth.

Hiccup's Li Yan returned to his fist hard.

I can't look back, I want to beat someone when I look back!

Li Yangui pushed open the door, a gust of cool breeze brought a peach blossom to his eyelashes, the slight itching made him blink his eyes, just at this moment, a man appeared under the peach blossom tree.

In the pink light, the man was wearing a white shirt with a loosely buttoned neckline that was slightly open, and his collarbone, which looked like fine porcelain, could be seen at a glance.On the slender neck, the expressionless face is so beautiful that it is indistinguishable between male and female. At first glance, it looks like the kind of person who is so indifferent that it is best not to get involved, making people afraid to approach.

Li Yangui was briefly immersed in such a beauty impact for more than ten seconds, his heart seemed to stop suddenly, and then his eyes fell on the huge water pipe held in the man's hand. The picture was so curious that the sudden heartbeat just now was instantly crushed to death by him in the chest cavity.

The water in the water pipe was splashing on the peach tree, the man's head was tilted slightly, and the falling peach petals were reflected in his dark eyes, and there was another Li Yangui at this moment.

He looked at the sight with no emotion, and asked in an indifferent tone: "Are you the new little demon?"

Li Yangui was inexplicably nervous: "I'm just a new part-time job."

"I heard from Su Liyue that you guessed their real bodies, which I find very interesting." The man poured water unhurriedly, and said slowly, "You might as well guess me too."

Li Yangui: "...Huh???"

"Interesting." The man looked Fan Li Yangui up and down, and said meaningfully, "You are the first little demon whose body I can't see."

Lin Changfeng who likes to talk nonsense, Bai Su who loves dating male college students, Su Liyue who is super confident and narcissistic, and now there is another boss who looks noble and mysterious but actually loves to pretend to be a deep cosplayer... …

After a long time, it turns out that everyone in the room is crazy!

Li Yangui closed the door expressionlessly, stood in the coffee shop, and looked at Lin Changfeng with a shit-eating expression on his face: "You guys... are the bosses so involved in the drama?"

"Why did you lock the boss out? This is the father who pays us wages." Lin Changfeng wiped off the last bit of cream on his lips, rushed over to open the door, and yelled at the group of cats, "Boss Feng! Here you are, you are still sleeping! Quickly take off the skin and fold it aside, stand in a row one by one, ready to salute!"

As the door opened again, the cool breeze mixed with the slight heat of the night hit Li Yangui's face for the second time. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the area where the cat was lying around sleeping all over just now. It took only a short time from shock to petrification. one second.

I saw the group of cats taking off their clothes one by one, quickly taking off their expensive fur, revealing all kinds of strange bodies, completely different from the lazy ones who can absolutely sleep without moving, at this moment they are like a gust of wind, moving quickly They folded the cat skins in an orderly manner, and stood neatly in a row, which was distressingly skillful.

In my ears, Lin Changfeng's voice seemed to be far away in the sky: "Boss, thank you for your hard work. Just let me, the gatekeeper, do the watering. Just go in and inspect the work. Today is still zero income."

"where are they?"

"They're all waiting for you inside."

Gentle footsteps sounded slowly, step by step towards Li Yangui's direction, as if waking up from a dream, he immediately retreated to the corner covering his beating heart, feeling that he was a human being standing here out of place.

It turns out...they...are really not human...! ! !

Li Yangui's legs were weak and he almost couldn't help kneeling down. He subconsciously hugged the waist of the man who came in front of him in an instant, and looked up without tears: "...Boss, I didn't see anything."

People will subconsciously say things that are beneficial to themselves. Hearing these words, Feng Wu raised her eyebrows slightly, but she understood after a short thought.

Glancing coldly at the dozen or so demon queens pretending to be cats, he bent down slightly, and coaxed Li Yangui's ear with his thin lips: "Say it again, what did you see?"

"..." Li Yangui confessed quickly, with a look of lovelessness on his face, "They took off that layer of cat skin and showed their original appearance, I didn't see anything."

"Very good." Feng Wu straightened up, pinched Li Yangui's chin and lifted it up, "I'll clean up the group of useless guys in the store who can't see that you are human, the first thing to do now is, come first Do your reckoning."

Lin Changfeng in the yard screamed loudly: "What?! You are not a demon, but a human?! You actually deceived us!"

who cheated!

Who is pulling him to talk so much!

He never said that he was a demon from the beginning to the end!

Li Yangui couldn't bear it anymore, the great fear and the shocking 'great change' made him full of infinite courage at this moment, he shook off the hand on his chin, stood up and cursed: "Obviously you are the ones pulling me to say that I am a demon, I am just a monster!" Ordinary part-time students, never asked anything, a big pot was put on me, I won't recite it!"

"You're not a monster, how could you see the recruitment sheet!" Lin Changfeng rushed over, grabbed Li Yangui's shoulder and shook wildly, "You were the one who pretended to be a monster first!"

Li Yangui endured the dizziness and roared: "Then I resign!"

"no!"

"To shut up."

The cold tone seemed to come from an extremely cold place, Li Yangui and Lin Changfeng couldn't help shaking.

Li Yangui tried his best to bring up a stiff smile: "I promise not to tell anything about this place, so I resign..."

"I told you to shut up." Feng Wu glanced at Li Yangui with emotionless eyes, and finally fell on Lin Changfeng, "On the night of the full moon, the enchantment of the gate of the fantasy world is weak."

Lin Changfeng was startled, and before he could speak, Feng Wu had already turned around, leaving a sentence: "Let Su Liyue come down, I will clean up the four of you together later."

Li Yangui knelt down resignedly to his fate, and watched Feng Wu walk to the courtyard with a peaceful expression of waiting for death.

The peach tree that he thought was illuminated had petals that were shining brightly, giving people a very gentle and powerful feeling.At first he didn't look carefully, but now Li Yangui realized that there are countless red silk threads on the tree trunk that was not there during the day, which is very beautiful.

He is a pig, how could this kind of lighting effect really come out?

Lin Changfeng knelt down with him: "Li Yangui."

"What are you doing?" Li Yangui responded in despair.

"Look at the figure of our boss Feng who will deal with those dirty things later."

Li Yan said in a rage, "I watched."

Lin Changfeng was relieved and added the next sentence: "When you clean us up, you won't feel strange and afraid."

"..." Li Yangui closed his eyes, but still couldn't hold back, and got angry on his knees, "Thank you!"

During the day, the coffee shop is deserted.

And at night, Li Yangui found that there were ghosts and ghosts here.

Countless wandering souls gathered together and could only see black shadows. They seemed to smell the best delicacy, and they all moved towards the peach tree.

Li Yangui just stared at Feng Wu intently.

Feng Wu walked in front of the peach tree, and the moment his palm touched the trunk, the gentle pink color of the peach blossom suddenly became more dazzling and bright, and a circle of transparent air swirled around with him as the origin, splitting those ghosts in an instant. There was no smoke left, as if their appearance was just an illusion of Li Yangui.

After a few seconds, the man raised his head and looked at the ever-growing peach tree. Under the glowing peach petals, the expression on his face was hazy, making it hard to see clearly.

"...Is this solved?" Li Yangui asked uncertainly.

Lin Changfeng thoughtfully replied: "That's right, isn't he handsome?"

He's handsome and exciting, but he doesn't care about it at all, bastard!

Li Yangui said in pain: "I suddenly want to know what the gatekeeper does."

Theoretically, it cannot be told to humans, but Li Yangui knows a lot now, and dealing with an accident like his is nothing more than the end of erasing his memory.

Based on this, Lin Changfeng didn't care if Li Yangui knew more.

"This peach tree is the gate of the fantasy world, and what the gatekeeper has to do is..." Lin Changfeng took a deep breath.

coming.

Li Yan returned to "kneeling" and "listening to class" seriously.

After inhaling, Lin Changfeng let out this breath slowly, and said in a heavy tone: "Pay attention to the weather forecast and calendar in real time, keep in mind every specific full moon night, water the peach trees on time, and never be perfunctory or lazy , Fertilize once every ten days, catch insects once a month, treat this peach tree as your father and respect it, this is the duty of a gatekeeper.”

At the same time as the voice fell, the person who was clearly still in the courtyard spoke softly, but the voice penetrated the space and reached Li Yangui's eardrums. It was indifferent and heartless, and even mixed with a touch of displeasure——

"Next, it's time to clean up you."

Li Yangui's expression at this time was no different from that of death.
