Brother Desert comforted him in his magnetic voice: "Brother Li, don't think about it, life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, and you will encounter such ups and downs in life. There is no predicament in life that you can't get out of, and those ups and downs in the past will only make you more glorious in the future. Gambling is harmful, stay away from ...... Ahem, I mean work, that's it. What's the big deal, the tree moves, the person moves, if you can, you can do it, if you can't do it, we will jump ship. As soon as I arrived at the new company, I was asked to take on a big job and write movie scripts. As long as you have the ability, you will still be valued by the leader of the unit. ”

Or as the old saying goes, speaking is an art, and words are positive and negative, when persuading people, Brother Desert will not talk about his death.

Qi Binxuan intercepted Brother Desert's words and said: "Don't talk too much, after all, Brother Li is a national research institute, and you can find a few better treatment if you resign and change jobs, and this situation will not occur in other units?" Wait until you find a good and satisfactory home, and then change jobs. ”

Brother Desert also felt a little impulsive about what he said, and said, "Well, this is indeed the reason. It's really not good to jump ship as soon as your mind is hot. ”

Li Hengzhong nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. But it's not that I'm not angry, and I don't have the motivation to work. ”

Qi Binxuan said: "I have little contact with your research. However, we did meet a lot of ordinary staff. Many people are working as monks for a day and hitting the clock for a day, and they don't do anything in their own work, but they do their private work energetically. You can also refer to it, if you are not motivated to work, then you have to get by, and you will not be in arrears of wages anyway. As for the research results, it's a big deal to sell them to large private companies, or you can keep them and publish them after changing jobs. Anyway, in your unit, you are the last to sign the published results. ”

Li Hengzhong nodded as if he had made up his mind, and said: "What you said makes sense, then I will lie dormant for a while, and go to the side of the scientific research results or something." When I have the opportunity, I will take it out together and make a splash. ”

"Okay, cheers for Brother Li's blockbuster. Brother Desert raised his glass.

After the three of them finished drinking, Li Hengzhong said to the shopkeeper again: "The boss will come with four more plates of barbecue." Give Brother Dog two more plates. ”

Qi Binxuan waited for Li Hengzhong to finish speaking, and then persuaded: "Brother Li, although these words are not good, but the words are contrary to the ear, I hope you still pay attention." The song you sang was really not very serious. After all, your dissection is also a sensitive profession, and you should respect the deceased. ”

Li Hengzhong sighed and said, "I understand what you said. I was also against the head of the room at first, so I never changed it. Actually, I have a lot of respect for them. In the dead of night, when I worked overtime alone, they were always with me. I'm willing to talk to them about anything. I sing this song like a laugh among friends. ”

Qi Binxuan explained: "What you said is also very reasonable, but let's say it in private, respect these things, sometimes do it for others to see." You respect them in your heart, but you can't keep your mouth shut, and it's easy to misunderstand. And they've already asked you to write a check, and if you don't change it, they're going to make a fuss about it. ”

"Okay, then I won't sing anymore. ”

At this time, Brother Desert interjected: "Not only don't sing, but you have to do something else to express your respect." ”

"How to express it?"

Brother Desert has a spirit when he talks about this, explaining: "The best way to show respect is through rituals." ”

"Ritual has never been touched, how do you get it?"

"I looked up a lot of information when I was writing the script, and one of them caught my attention. In the past, a forest chief had to choose a good day and an auspicious day to shoot a zombie movie, the actor needed to take a red envelope, and there was an incense burning ceremony before the start-up, and he had to make offerings. I think the simplest ritual of yours is to burn incense and make offerings, and then sue for some afterlife language. ”

Li Hengzhong thought for a while and said, "That's okay, I'll go buy an incense burner tomorrow and burn incense every day." But what should be read in that recitation?"

Qi Binxuan said: "This seems to have a great compassion spell, a death spell or something, why don't you memorize a few?"

Li Hengzhong's face was embarrassed: "It's a little difficult, and I can't understand any sentences." ”

Brother Desert said: "I read a good sentence before, or you will read it." It is 'the soul returns to the nine heavens, the soul falls into the nine abysses, the living are miserable, and the dead are safe.' (Excerpt from the novel The Book of the Dead)

"Isn't this too short? and isn't it a bit inappropriate to use dead people directly?"

"Then change it, and the dead will become the dead. As for the short, if you read it three times, it's about the same. ”

Li Hengzhong whispered silently twice: "The soul returns to the nine heavens, the soul falls into the nine abysses, the living are miserable, and the deceased are safe." Okay, so let's use this sentence. ”

So after that, in the research room, Li Hengzhong had to burn incense every day and make offerings, silently reciting the words of the dead, which also became a new topic in the research institute.

That night, Qi Binxuan, Brother Desert and Li Hengzhong got drunk, Li Hengzhong was unconscious because of drinking wine, Brother Desert and Qi Binxuan were fine. At the time of checkout, Li Hengzhong was already unconscious, and Brother Desert said before that he had a treat, so he went to check out. The shopkeeper said a thousand in total.

Now Brother Desert is unwilling: "Boss, we are also regular customers, don't be like this." I think we can eat and drink up to 500 in a row, don't bully us into getting drunk. ”

The boss smiled and said, "You have eaten and drunk five hundred, and the dog has also eaten and drunk five hundred." ”

Brother Desert said angrily: "Why are you still scolding?"

The boss still smiled and pointed to the pastoral dog on the ground and explained, "I didn't scold. What I just said was that it also ate five hundred. In fact, it was five hundred and eight, and the drunk one just gave back a hundred, of which twenty were the money for plates and bowls. ”

Brother Desert was speechless, looked at the pastoral dog squatting on the ground, and saw that it was there with a big mouth, sticking out its tongue, squinting its eyes and smiling as if it was grinning, and the smile was extremely enchanting, so he had to reluctantly count ten large bills from his wallet and hand them to the shopkeeper. He said angrily: "Send a big bottle of Coke to sober up." ”

"No problem!" The owner of the store agreed to not be too demanding of this big customer.

Brother Desert pointed to the drunk Li Zhongheng and asked, "What should this brother do?"

Qi Bin smiled and said, "What else can we do? If he did it again, he would probably have to doubt his life. ”

"Why don't you find a hotel to open a room?"

"No need, it just so happens that there is still a vacant room upstairs in the tea house, give me that." I'll be able to say hello in the evening. ”

"Oh well. Brother Desert said that he set up Li Hengzhong, Qi Binxuan's legs and feet were inconvenient, so he couldn't let him stand up.

Qi Bin got up, looked at the big black dog next to him, and thought of what Li Zhongheng said when he was drunk before. "Brother dog, you can follow me from now on. I'm not rich, but I'm sure I'll be able to feed you and promise you won't starve. It's better than you eating and drinking here. ”

So Qi Binxuan touched the dog's head and said, "Just now Brother Li said to let you follow him, if you can understand, just follow us?"

"Wang—" The big black dog squinted his eyes, seeming to be very happy.

In the dark night, a drunk man staggered with another drunk, a young man walked slowly on crutches, and a black dog shook its head and tail jumped up and down to escort it, this scene gave people a sense of peace and tranquility, and it was extremely harmonious.

The next day, Li Hengzhong got up from the tea house and felt a pain in his head, it seemed that he had drunk a lot yesterday. When he sat up from the bed, the first thing he saw was a big black dog lying on the side of the bed.

When Li Hengzhong saw the dog, he remembered that this was the one he fed him with skewers last night, and not only said, "Why did you come with you?"

"Because you said you would eat meat with you, so I came. ”

"Ah, I see. Okay then, I'll have enough money to get a dog anyway. Then you can follow me from now on. ”

"Okay. ”

Li Hengzhong got up and sorted out his wrinkled clothes, suddenly thought of something, turned his head and stared at the big black dog with incredible eyes, and asked in horror, "What did you just say?"

"Wang-" The big black dog barked twice, his mouth opened wide, his tongue sticked out, and his eyes narrowed, as if he was laughing at Li Hengzhong for being too sensitive.

Li Hengzhong also laughed self-deprecatingly, estimating that he was drunk and hadn't woken up yet, but he still didn't dare to ask uncertainly: "Do you really want to follow me?"

"Wang-"

Li Hengzhong relieved himself, it turned out that this dog couldn't speak, but somehow, he was still a little disappointed in his heart.

Li Hengzhong came out of the guest room and saw Qi Binxuan having bought breakfast and Luo Hongyi eating at a table. Qi Binxuan saw Li Hengzhong come out, beckoned him to sit down, and pointed to an untouched breakfast to indicate that it was his.

Li Hengzhong was not polite, and said thank you and started eating.

Chatting during Song Guo's meals was the norm. Qi Binxuan also chatted with Li Hengzhong while eating, and asked if he was in a better mood now and what he was going to do in the future.

Li Hengzhong said: "In the future, I plan to relax and relax, don't be so nervous about doing experiments and scientific research, don't need to produce any results, just accumulate experience and knowledge." Occasionally, he will do some private work and subsidize the economy. And I'm ready to adopt this pastoral dog, so I'll take a walk and walk the dog when it's okay. In short, at this stage, when is the job on vacation, when will there be a chance to jump off the job. ”

Qi Bin smiled and said, "Okay, your mentality can be regarded as adjusted." ”

Luo Hongyi said angrily beside him: "Hey, what an aspiring young man, you have been transformed into a passerby." ”

Qi Bin was unhappy, and said angrily: "How can this be transformed by me, is this obviously transformed by the social dye vat." Right, Lao Li?"

"Hehe!" Li Hengzhong replied with a classic line.

"By the way, Lao Li, you can add our 'Maker Tea Club Chat Group', it is rare to have a high-end talent, and our chat group is also stained and upgraded to a higher style. Not to mention, the atmosphere in the group is very active, and you will feel happy when you look at their chats. ”

One day later, Li Hengzhong just went to work, and after cleaning the office, he put three sticks of incense on the incense burner, put his hands together, and recited silently several times: "The soul returns to the nine heavens, the soul falls into the nine abysses, the living are sad, and the deceased are safe." ”

After turning around, he saw several tall soldiers standing behind him, and he was startled, and couldn't help but say, "Why don't you make a sound, scare me." ”

One of the elders said, "I'm sorry, Dr. Lee, but we took the liberty to ask you to do me a favor. We have a soldier who has suffered a gunshot wound to the brain and is in a coma, and we hope you can help him come to his senses. ”

Li Hengzhong said: "You should find a doctor for this, right?"

"We've seen a lot of well-known doctors, but it's been two months and it's not improving. It was only after some friends recommended that I came to you for help. ”

"But I'm still young, just a newcomer, and there are a lot of famous experts in the brain domain, why are you looking for me. ”

"Dr. Li, we soldiers speak straightforwardly. We are looking for experts who are really capable to save people, so we came to you. And this warrior is a very good soldier, with great merit, and he has served the country a lot, and I hope you will be able to help you without hesitation. ”

Li Hengzhong thought for a while, if he had been before, he would definitely not have helped, because he was still busy with his experiments. But because of the previous punishment, his enthusiasm for work has faded a lot, and thinking of Qi Binxuan and Brother Desert's words to enlighten him, it is not bad to occasionally take on some private work, and he can't help but say: "Is this my private work?"

Another soldier next to him said, "If Dr. Li is willing to help, the military will definitely thank you." ”

Li Hengzhong waved his hand and said, "I just thought of a friend's words, just joking. I am still very willing to help this soldier who serves my country, but I declare in advance that I will do my best to save it, but there is no guarantee of effect. ”

The old man hurriedly said, "We understand this. ”

Li Hengzhong said again: "There is another matter, I don't know if the research institute will approve my leave, after all, I have just received a punishment." ”

"You don't have to worry about this procedure, we'll take care of it. I'm afraid the treatment time is a bit long, do you need to go home and clean up and say hello to your family?"

Li Hengzhong thought for a while and said, "I'll go home and get a few clothes." But I live alone, and I have a dog at home, if I don't come back for a long time, can I take the dog with me?"

"No problem, there are also military dogs in the army, we can take care of them together. ”

When Li Hengzhong returned home, he saw the big black dog lazily reclining on the sofa in the living room, watching TV, turning his head from time to time, and curling his tongue up the dog food on the plate on the wooden table next to him, which was very pleasant. Li Hengzhong is no stranger to this, this big black dog is very smart, and he learned to turn on the TV with the remote control in a few days after coming home.

When the big black dog saw Li Hengzhong go home, he whined and welcomed. Li Hengzhong closed the door, took off his coat and said to the big black dog: "I took a job, I want to go to the army for a period of time to treat a wounded." Come with me. ”

The big black dog pointed at the TV with his front paws and barked twice.

Li Hengzhong said: "I guess there can't let you watch TV." ”

The big black dog lowered his head in frustration and whined.

Li Hengzhong thought about it and decided to tempt the big black dog: "There are a lot of military dogs there." You can play with your own kind, and there should be a very good female military dog inside. ”

"Ahh The black dog ran to Li Hengzhong, raised his right paw, and pointed to the zipper of his backpack. Li Hengzhong skillfully bent down and helped the black dog pull the zipper of his schoolbag, which he had done many times. When he pulled the zipper, he saw a lot of dog food, teething sticks, and a famous dog magazine in his school bag. Li Hengzhong gasped, this dog seems to be at a higher level than him.

After Li Hengzhong finished packing up his clothes, he went out with the big black dog, and said as he walked: "The rules in the army are strict, and when you get there, you must settle down and don't make trouble." ”

"You know, it's not like I haven't been in the army. ”

Li Hengzhong listened, turned his head to look at the big black dog, and couldn't help muttering: "Isn't my auditory hallucination problem cured? Forget it, it doesn't affect life and work anyway, you have to get by, it's not good to be treated as crazy. ”

When the big black dog heard this, he looked ahead, grinned widely, and showed a sly smile.
