Chapter 13 Landlords and Long-term Laborers

More than 20 days have passed, and Tan Fei still hasn't appeared.

The company called and told him that Shabai had to hurry back to Linhai, and this time he took too long a leave of absence and had delayed the progress of the project, and the boss was very unhappy.

Sha Bai pondered for a while, he was indeed a little irresponsible to the unit if he dragged it like this, but he was really unwilling to give up this opportunity to catch Tan Fei. So Sha Bai simply resigned. When the matter in Jiangnan City is over, let's go back to Linhai City and look for a new job.

On this morning, Sha Bai came out of the museum that had been on guard all night, and just stretched his legs and bent over the side of the road for a while, and looked up to see the familiar red off-road vehicle driving by.

The car stopped at his feet, and Ye Ning poked his head out, "Hey, detective, aren't you busy today, are you?" ”

Sha Bai snapped his fingers, "You always send it casually, are you going to water your flowers and plants again?" No problem, you can come back before five o'clock in the afternoon." ”

Since he knew that Sha Bai was in Jiangnan City, Ye Ning would come over as soon as he was free and send Sha Bai all kinds of tasks.

Go shopping and eat with me? Go to my office and move some heavy furniture, I really can't move it? Go to the school's martial arts competition and make a cameo as a referee, you just know this? Tomorrow my students will go on an outing and need a driver, can you make a cameo?

Of course, the most important thing to do is to accompany Ye Ning to add nutrient solution to plant medicinal materials.

Ye Ning studied botanical pharmacy in college, and now he is an associate professor, and his research direction is still botanical.

Jiangnan University has built a plant cultivation base in the suburbs of the north of the city, and Ye Ning has two of his own plant cultivation rooms in the base, with hundreds of square meters, which are full of various plant and medicinal materials. Ye Ning had to water the prepared nutrient solution for the plants almost every day. Different plants need different types of nutrient solutions and different amounts of watering. It was often Ye Ning who walked in front with a graduated cylinder in his hand, and Sha Bai carried a few iron buckets containing nutrient solution, following behind, walking back and forth in the cultivation room, pouring liquid on medicinal materials.

In short, in the past 20 days, Sha Bai has become a long-term worker in the Ye landlord's family. But anyway, Sha Bai is on duty at the museum at night, and there is nothing to do during the day, besides, it is really "short of people".

Ye Ning gave Sha Bai a hundred jade plates at one time, and he didn't need money to live or die, saying that the purchase price of the jade cards was very low and not worth much. Of course, Sha Bai knew that Ye Ning was talking nonsense. Sha Bai ran all over the antique city in order to buy a jade brand, and the market had already been figured out. The purchase price of that kind of jade plate is at least more than 400, and the purchase price of a hundred jade plates is nearly 50,000 yuan.

Sha Bai was shy in his pocket, but the Spirit Gathering Array was a top priority, so Sha Bai temporarily accepted the jade plaque and secretly planned to return it to Ye Ning when he had the money. But in this way, it seems to be reasonable to do long-term work for the Ye landlord's family.

"What is the task today?" Sha Bai asked Ye Ning while sitting in the co-pilot's seat.

"Go to my house and move a tree in the yard."

"What?!a tree?!?!?!

"Don't be so demented, okay?, haven't you seen a tree move a place?" Ye Ning glanced at Sha Bai, who seemed to be about to drop his jaw in shock, "First of all, you dig a hole, four or five meters deep." Then, dig out the original tree. Then, just plant the dug trees in the newly dug pits. It's just a small pine tree, originally planted in the corner, and my dad heard from others that the location was not good, and it affected feng shui, so he decided to move the place. ”

Listening to Ye Ning's understatement of the process of "moving a place for a tree", Sha Bai secretly felt a little worried in his heart. But looking at Ye Ning's landlord's expression, Sha Bai didn't dare to say anything.

"Ding Zhaotian hasn't been bothering you lately, has he?" Sha Bai suddenly asked Ye Ning.

"No, why do you ask?" Ye Ning turned his head sideways and glanced at Sha Bai in surprise.

"He looks at you a little strangely. Moreover, he has a bit of kung fu on him, you have to be careful. Sha Bai said to Ye Ning in a solemn tone.

"Deed, isn't it just a lust obsession, which man is not like this? If you have to worry about this little thing, I won't be able to live? Kung Fu, this palace will also be a little, are you afraid of him?" Ye Ning said nonchalantly.

Sha Bai saw that Ye Ning was not taking it seriously, so he didn't say anything more.

Ding Zhaotian is a researcher at the medicinal herb cultivation base of Jiangnan University. Sha Bai always accompanied Ye Ning to work in the medicinal herb cultivation center, so he met Ding Zhaotian.

When Sha Bai and Ye Ning went to the medicinal herb base for the first time, Ding Zhaotian's attitude towards Sha Bai was still very normal, he greeted Sha Bai politely, and gave him a brief introduction to the situation of the medicinal herb garden.

But as he went more often, Sha Bai found that Ding Zhaotian seemed to be hostile to him.

Sha Bai was not a fool, of course he guessed the reason right away. Sha Bai secretly observed Ding Zhaotian's attitude towards Ye Ning, and soon discovered Ding Zhaotian's fiery eyes when he looked at Ye Ning.

This wasn't surprising.

After Sha Bai went to Jiangnan University a few times, he found that Ye Ning, a single girl with a cheerful personality and a good face and a healthy body, was definitely an eye-catching flower in school, and many men looked at Ye Ning's eyes a little hot. But Sha Bai always felt that Ding Zhaotian's eyes seemed to have a hint of madness in addition to being hot. Especially when Ye Ning turned his back to Ding Zhaotian, the madness in Ding Zhaotian's eyes seemed to be even more obvious.

There are not many scientific researchers resident in the medicinal herb garden, only five or six people in total. There are few people around, Ye Ning is more casual, and he is familiar and intimate with Sha Bai's words and actions, which obviously stimulates Ding Zhaotian, and his dissatisfaction with Sha Bai gradually accumulates and finally erupts.

Just a few days ago, Sha Bai helped Ye Ning to work in the medicinal herb garden, and when he went to the real room to get the iron bucket containing the nutrient solution, Ding Zhaotian, who was in charge of preparing the liquid, suddenly grabbed the bucket on the ground and threw it at Shabai.

At that time, the distance between the two of them was about five or six steps, and the iron bucket full of liquid, estimated to weigh sixty or seventy pounds, was thrown out by Ding Zhaotian, and actually flew over flat, and smashed it on Sha Bai's chest with a snort. Sha Bai was taken aback, but of course this weight could not bother him. Sha Bai stretched out his arm to gently catch the iron bucket, looked at Ding Zhaotian, didn't say anything, and turned to leave.

Sha Bai didn't want to have any conflicts with others in the herb garden. If he had a conflict with the staff of the Medicinal Herb Garden, he would obviously embarrass Ye Ning.

But for Ding Zhaotian, Sha Bai had a trace of vigilance. This person looks polite on the surface, but he is actually very irritable, and his arm strength is very large, and he has definitely been trained. The hidden mania in his eyes always made Sha Bai feel a little uneasy, so Sha Bai opened his mouth to remind Ye Ning. But Ye Ning didn't seem to care.

The car drove to an upscale villa area in the western part of the city, turned a few corners, and stopped in front of a small two-story villa. In front of the villa was a small courtyard, Ye Ning and Sha Bai got out of the car and walked into the courtyard gate of the villa, where a middle-aged woman in her forties and fifties came out.

"Mom, this is an hourly worker who came to move the place for our pine tree," Ye Ning pointed to Sha Bai behind him, "You tell him where the tree is, how to move it." ”

After speaking, Ye Ning walked into the house and didn't mean to care about Shabai at all.

Shabai froze in place. This sister is manipulating him again!

"Hey, that young man," Ye Ning's mother really regarded Sha Bai as an hourly worker, she pointed to a pine tree in the northwest corner of the yard, and then to a clearing in the middle of the yard, "It's this tree, you just move it to the middle of it." ”

After saying that, Ye Ning's mother turned around and went back to the house, walked two steps, and suddenly turned around and asked, "Young man, how much does your work cost an hour?"

"Huh?" Sha Bai scratched his head, not knowing how to answer, "What, I, I, I'll see how this tree moves first." Can you find me a shovel?"

Sha Bai got the shovel and began to dig the pit with a sigh.

When it was almost noon, he finally dug the pit, wiped his sweat, raised his head and looked into the house, and saw Ye Ning hiding behind the curtain and peeking at him with a wicked smile.

"Dongjia, is it okay to give saliva?" Sha Bai shouted at Ye Ning.

"Hahaha," Ye Ning finally couldn't bear it anymore, and walked out of the house with a wild laugh, "Little Changgong, is the pit digging good! The local master originally thought, give you two hundred an hour, see how well you do this job, yes! Let's go up! It's two hundred and one!".

Sha Bai had a bitter face, "Landlord, is it okay to give saliva? I'm going to die of thirst!"

Ye Ning's mother came out of the house with a glass of water, looked at Ye Ning, who was laughing wildly, looked at Sha Bai again, and handed the water to Sha Bai with a suspicious expression.

At noon, Ye Ning's mother kept sandwiching vegetables for Shabai.

"It turns out that you are Shabai, I already knew you, this time I can be regarded as seeing you. Mother Ye seemed to be very happy, with a smile on her face.

"Auntie, did Ye Ning mention me? Does she often speak ill of me?" Sha Bai asked with a smile.

"It's not bad words, it's dream words. Mother Ye said with a smile, "I didn't hear her talk about you when I was awake, I heard your name a few times, and it was all when she talked in her sleep." ”

"Mom, what are you talking about!" Ye Ning's face suddenly turned red, and he stood up a little annoyed, left the dining table, and turned his head and walked to the room inside.

Sha Bai didn't know what to say for a while.

This lively and beautiful girl, Sha Bai has always felt like a close big sister. The two of them talk and joke, and they always have no edges. The feelings hidden in Ye Ning's heart, Sha Bai was not unaware, but he never dared to touch them.

Mother Ye saw that Ye Ning was angry, and she didn't speak for a long time.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

At this time, Shabai's mobile phone suddenly rang.

Millie's anxious voice came from the phone, "Come back, something happened! A few minutes ago, a big hole suddenly collapsed in the floor of the exhibition hall! The armor display case fell into the hole, and the armor was gone! Now the police are trying to find a way to clear the hole so that they can enter the hole and find out where the armor is!"

Sha Bai jumped up and shouted at the back room, "Ye Ning, hurry! Something happened to the museum, I have to go back immediately!"
