Chapter 3 Wanjilou lacks an assistant
"Where is this?" Shu Kui loves this exquisite garden very much.
Ling Jiuchuan didn't answer, and led her to the depths.
After walking for more than ten minutes, out of the garden, facing a large lawn, very neatly built, a bluestone road in the center, leading to a black three-story building.
This building is sixty or seventy meters long, the appearance is simple, there is no decoration, and the windows on the wall are also simple square wooden frames and glass, it looks like a very ordinary building.
When he came closer, Shu Kui saw a plaque hanging on the top of the light gray gate, with three golden characters written "Haocang Palace".
"Welcome to the Humble House." Ling Jiuchuan made a gesture to invite in.
"This is your home?" Shu Kui almost screamed.
Ling Jiuchuan nodded as a matter of course: "Below is the current King of Kuixian." ”
Shu Kui was completely stunned when he only heard "King Kuixian". She originally thought that this man should be a rich businessman, at most just an official - she has always had bad luck, let alone winning the lottery, even celebrities have no chance to meet, and finally looked forward to a meeting, but also rescheduled for some reason, and then there is no follow-up, and now when she arrives here, the first person she meets is actually the king of a country, and she can't help but feel happy and sad in her heart.
The joy is that the king naturally keeps his word, saying that if he can save her life temporarily, he will never break his word; The worry is that big people are often moody, and they are like tigers, and maybe as long as they say a word wrong, they will immediately be in a different place.
"Come in." Ling Jiuchuan looked at her stunned, with a complicated expression on her face, and she didn't know what she was thinking, just as she was nervous when she first entered the palace.
"Can you take me home now?" Shu Kui flinched and asked cautiously.
"I can't." Ling Jiuchuan didn't think about it, and categorically refused, without the slightest room for maneuver.
"Think of it as a good deed." Shu Kui's tone was pleading, "My sister is missing, if my parents find out that I am also missing, they will ......"
"I'm not an immortal demon, and I don't have the ability to create my own channel." Ling Jiuchuan interrupted her, "Besides, do you know how much that meal was worth just now?" Do you know what Guo Yuansheng is worth? What's more, I saved your life - twice, and you didn't even say a word of thanks, and you asked me to send you home now? ”
"And what do you want me to do? I'm so worried about my family and I want to go back. Shu Kui was under his forced gaze, and he was also half a cut shorter.
"There is a shortage of assistants in my Wanji Building, you will start work tomorrow, with a monthly salary of one or two gold, including food, accommodation, and medical treatment, and the monthly salary will be directly used for meals, until it is finished." Ling Jiuchuan seemed to have thought about it a long time ago.
"I ...... I don't do it,......" Shu Kui felt that this was asking her to sign a deed of sale.
"Don't do it?" Ling Jiuchuan sneered, "It's okay if you don't do it, the day after tomorrow is the day when all the roads are opened, I originally wanted to take you back to see and report safety to my family, since you don't want to work for me, then use it as my food." ”
When Shu Kui heard it, he couldn't believe it: "Really? Is it the day after tomorrow? ”
"You don't joke." Ling Jiuchuan replied firmly.
"Okay, I'll go to work tomorrow." Shu Kui immediately changed his words, in fact, he had already made up his mind in his heart - the day after tomorrow, as soon as he arrived in the world, he would run away immediately.
"Sleep here tonight, and your supervisor will pick you up early tomorrow morning." Ling Jiuchuan said, suddenly thought of something, and sighed, "You don't talk about credit a lot, I have to give you some restrictions." ”
"Sign a contract?" This was Shu Kui's first reaction.
"No, you don't." Ling Jiuchuan walked over and grabbed her right hand.
Shu Kui was startled and instinctively wanted to break free.
"Don't move if you don't want to get seriously hurt." Ling Jiuchuan glared at her menacingly.
Shu Kui had no choice but to let him slaughter.
Ling Jiuchuan pinched Shu Kui's palm and gently squeezed it to reveal the veins, and then cut the tip of his index finger with the nail of his left thumb and pressed a drop of blood on it.
After the intense burning sensation, there was a sharp pain, and Shu Kui couldn't help but gasp and struggled with all his strength.
Ling Jiuchuan let go of his hand: "Don't be afraid, it's okay." ”
Shu Kui hurriedly checked his wrist and found no wounds, and the drop of blood was gone, replaced by a circular blue-black mark on the skin, with a diameter of less than half an inch, like a word and a painting, and the pattern was simple.
"What is this? Tattoo? She knew if it was in vain, but she rubbed it twice.
"Family badge, with this, you are the owner of my Kui Xianling family, whoever picks it up must return it immediately, and you must not dispose of it without authorization." Ling Jiuchuan said unhurriedly, "At the same time, at a certain distance, I can also know your approximate location. ”
"I don't want it, help me get rid of it." Shu Kui was very unhappy and felt that he was being treated as an object.
"When you finish paying off the meal, it will naturally disappear." Ling Jiuchuan said.
"When will it be over?" Shu Kui unconsciously raised his voice.
"If you want to ask Guo Yuansheng to cook a banquet, the gold you have to pay is higher than you, do you think, how long will it take you to pay it back?" Ling Jiuchuan glanced at her, turned around and left.
When Shu Kui heard this, he was angry, and finally understood that the king of a country in front of him was simply an unreasonable person who did whatever he wanted.
"Let's go." Ling Jiuchuan took a few steps forward, and seeing that she was not moving in place, he urged impatiently.
Shu Kui knew very well that all his resistance was meaningless, if he really annoyed him, maybe he would be killed and eaten immediately, so he had no choice but to follow, and comforted himself in his heart that he would not conflict with him first, and he would be able to go back the day after tomorrow anyway, and when the time came, he must flee far away.
Ling Jiuchuan led the way in front, came to the innermost room on the third floor, and opened the door: "This is it." ”
"What about your servants?" In Shu Kui's impression, there should be a large group of people around the king, but he didn't expect that along the way, the palace was quiet and there was almost no one.
"There is work to do, there is no work to rest, I will call them if there is something, and there is no need to pestle in front of me." Ling Jiuchuan has a flexible work system here, "It's the same for you, there are no special days off, if you usually want to buy something, tell the supervisor, I will give the budget, and then send someone to go with you." ”
"You want to send someone with me?" Shu Kui felt that this was clearly surveillance.
"You dare to go out on the street by yourself?" Ling Jiuchuan asked rhetorically.
As soon as these words came out, Shu Kui stopped talking.
Ling Jiuchuan looked at her, said "sleep" and left.
Five or six minutes later, someone brought a stack of clothes, towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc.
Shu Kui threw things away, lay down with his clothes, and couldn't sleep after turning around.
As soon as I calmed down, the scenes from last night came to mind, and they were repeated over and over again in front of my eyes like a movie. What did Shu Di see at that time? Where did she go after turning the reef? What's going on with the scent of flowers in the mist? Why did you get here when you opened your eyes? How did it come about? Who brought her here? In this place called the Three Frontiers, what awaits her?
One question after another, all of which had no answers, and her temples ached from one to the other, until the day was about to dawn, and she slept in a daze for about an hour.
When the wall clock on the wall pointed to a quarter past six, she woke up groggily, got out of bed, and in the bathroom mirror, saw that she had messy hair, black eyes, and a shiny face.
It's kind of scary. She thought, patted her face, went to the room and brought everything she needed to use, brushed her teeth carefully, and washed it from head to toe happily, before she felt more comfortable.
Just after changing clothes, someone gently knocked on the door twice.
Open the door - it's the guy who delivered something last night.
"Breakfast is ready." This petite girl is about seventeen or eighteen years old, with short hair, a round face, big eyes, and a sweet appearance, but she has no expression when she speaks, and she looks businesslike, which has nothing to do with her cute appearance, "My name is Yuxiao, if you need anything in the future, or if you want to go shopping on the street, you can come to me." ”
Shu Kui nodded and followed her to the restaurant on the first floor.
After eating, a man walked in through the door.
Yuxiao saw him and introduced: "This is Lord Bai of Bai Jingzhi, the director of Wanji Building. ”
Shu Kui looked up and saw that his supervisor was in his thirties, not tall, very thin, pale, his cheeks were slightly sunken inward, and under his short and light eyebrows, a pair of small eyes were shining.
"You're Miss Shu Kui, right?" When Bai Jingzhi smiled and spoke, he showed two white and large front teeth.
"Hello Lord White." Shu Kui stood up and bowed slightly.
"Hello, hello." Bai Jingzhi hurriedly returned the salute, "Don't call any adult, just call your name, Lord Yu, Miss Shu Kui, if you have anything to say, don't be polite." ”
"Ling Jiuchuan said, I'm under your control." Shu Kui didn't understand why he nodded like this.
As soon as he heard the king's name, Bai Jingzhi's face changed: "Yes, yes, Your Majesty said that he was afraid that I would be too tired from work, and he wanted to send me an assistant, I am very grateful and moved." ”
Seeing his appearance, Yuxiao couldn't help it anymore, and laughed out loud.
Bai Jingzhi also laughed wryly: "Lord Yu, I'll leave first if there's nothing to do." Miss Shu Kui, please come with me. ”
After saying that, he stepped up and walked out.
Shu Kui and him walked out of Haocang Palace, walked along the boulevard for seven or eight minutes, and faced two six-story small buildings, which were also boxy black buildings, but the scale was much smaller.
"Miss Shu Kui, the one with the pine tree in front of the building on the left is the men's dormitory, and the one with the willow tree in front of the building on the right hand is the women's dormitory." Bai Jingzhi pointed and said, "Your dormitory is on the second floor, the one with the window open, it has been cleaned, and I will take you there when Lord Yu is empty." ”
Shu Kui nodded, and asked again, "What time do I go to work?" What time do you get off work? ”
"Anything, everything." Bai Jingzhi gave a reply that was not a reply, "I will come and sit down when it is convenient for you." ”
Shu Kui saw Bai Jingzhi groveling, it was really uncomfortable, and it was inconvenient to ask more, so he had to say: "Don't call me a girl, it's awkward, just call my name." Feel free to do so, I'm your subordinate. ”
Bai Jingzhi responded with a chatter on his lips, but he was bitter in his heart.
