After class at noon, Yue Shaoyi took Jing and Xiaonan to the three canteens to finish eating, and at the same time carefully checked the entire canteen. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info and Jing and Xiao Nan got the same result, that is, there was not a single spirit in the three canteens.

Yue Shaoyi and Jing became more and more puzzled, how did the connection between the old teaching building and the three canteens in the first year of high school be established?

……………………………………

On Saturday morning, Yue Shaoyi was wandering outside and happened to pass by the flower shop where he had worked for half a month.

[Speaking of which, the florist's mission hasn't come to fruition yet...... And...... The most important thing is that the old lady hasn't paid me yet! Yue Shaoyi walked in leisurely.

"Old Mrs. Liu! I'm coming! He shouted and walked into the flower shop.

"Ahh It's Xiaoyi! Come on, come on! Have you had breakfast? The old lady who was a little deaf was busy pruning a pot of rhododendrons, she put on her reading glasses and turned her head to look at Yue Shaoyi and said loudly.

"I've eaten it! Leave me alone! He shouted. Didn't you ask a new employee to take care of the flowers for you?! Is there any work you haven't done? I'll help you! ”

"Then you go and help me bring in the two big bags of garbage and vegetable garden soil that have just been delivered outside! Then move Josephine out in the sun! The old rules! 4 hours! I said it beforehand! I'm not going to pay you! The old lady said aloud with joy, her voice hoarse, and the wrinkles on her face gathered together.

"Okay!" Yue Shaoyi responded loudly. He carried the two bags of potted soil into the house. Then I went to take the treasure of this flower shop, "Josephine", outside the store to bask in the sun.

It is said to be the treasure of the town, but it is actually not a rare variety.

"Louis XIV", anyone who knows about flowers probably knows this noble and dazzling deep purple rose. Mrs. Liu has been raising this pot of roses alone for twenty years. The reason why she didn't sell it was just because she liked the flower very much.

For the past 20 years, she has been carrying it out to bask in the sun, watering it with her own hands, and pruning its old branches. However, this year, the old lady is 93 years old, and because she can't move the soil and flower pots of potted plants, she finally has to post an advertisement to recruit an employee.

Yue Shaoyi looked down at the dark purple flowers that released a unique fragrance. Josephine was the first potted flower to be sold when the old lady first opened her shop. So far, only this pot of flowers has not been sold.

He still remembered that the day after he first started working, he asked the old lady why she didn't sell the potted flowers.

"Josephine is a good boy! I'm afraid that others won't be able to raise her well! And also! You kid doesn't do a good job! What a lot of nonsense! The old lady replied with a loud voice.

Yue Shaoyi put Josephine under the warm sunlight. People passing by looked sideways.

"Wow! What a beautiful flower! Several young girls said excitedly as they passed by.

There were many passers-by who wanted to buy her, but the old lady never sold it. Even the old lady's favorite 13-year-old great-granddaughter didn't want it.

"They can't raise her. No one can raise it...... This silly boy has probably learned...... "The old lady used to tell him to do this and that all day, and when she was free she would murmur to herself, like all old men, and repeat the same sentence over and over again.

"Young people now...... Why do you like fake flowers? The old lady would always look at the fake flowers that were selling well and were colorful and colorful, and whispered to herself strangely.

"Hey! Silly boy! Have you forgotten again?! 10 percent of the river sand! Not honeycomb cinders! Isn't there a problem with your kid's head?! When Yue Shaoyi made a mistake, the old lady would always hit the ground with a stick and reprimand loudly.

"What a head, you kid! Don't do business in the future! You're going to have to pay for nothing! She will always reprimand Yue Shaoyi like an elder looking at a junior who is not angry. But he would also endlessly add food to him during lunch, kindly telling him to eat more.

The old lady who raises flowers is far more stubborn than the average old man. She stubbornly resisted many electronic gadgets. Her children bought her a mobile phone and she never used it, she never used an electric kettle to boil water, she always used a gas canister for stir-frying, and she didn't even watch TV. The only entertainment is to turn up the volume of the radio to the maximum and listen to the Peking Opera or storytelling in it.

Sometimes Yue Shaoyi looked at the old lady and felt that she was like a grandmother, although Yue Shaoyi had basically never seen his grandmother. But he never looked at her for too long, because the next second the stubborn old lady would shout and reprimand, "Is the work done?" What are you so lazy to stand there and steal?! I'm paying you to come and see the scenery?! ”

Yue Shaoyi worked there like this until the day he had to go to school. And today he came to the flower shop to help. After about a morning of work, he left the flower shop with Jing and Xiaonan and continued to search for the tainted spirit.

Just when he had already decided to write the result that there was no spirit in the flower shop in the mission report, Yue Shaoyi suddenly found that the old lady was dead.

…………………………

Yunchuan's nights were always humid and sultry, and when Yue Shaoyi and the three of them were wandering on the street, Xiao Nan, who would rather die than put on a pair of pants, suddenly said that he felt a spirit nearby. So Yue Shaoyi searched along the way in the direction he pointed.

Then he went back to the flower shop where he had been in the morning.

He was surprised to see that the flower shop was still closed.

[It's already 10 o'clock, what's the matter with the old lady?] Why is there still a light inside? ]

Yue Shaoyi walked in suspiciously, followed by Jing and Xiaonan.

"Old lady?!"

No response.

Yue Shaoyi opened the curtain and walked into the room where the old lady usually lived.

"What? Asleep? He was relieved. [I don't close the door even when I sleep......] Yue Shaoyi saw her sitting in a rocking chair and falling asleep. There was a stinging sound on the radio, and the faint chirping of cicadas came from the window.

"Hey! Old lady! Wake up! Go to bed! Yue Shaoyi yelled at her.

Still no response.

Yue Shaoyi frowned and looked at the old lady with a somewhat pale face.

[etc....... Will it ......]

He slowly reached out to test her breathing.

No......

Yue Shaoyi took two steps back in disbelief. [What's going on?] It's fine during the day. How could it be ......]

He looked up and saw the pot of purple roses on the side. There is a pair of gardening scissors on the side.

There are no obvious wounds on the old lady's body, so how did she die? Is it the Spirit?

Yue Shaoyi walked over and carefully observed the pot of roses. He had been speculating for a long time that if there was a spirit in this shop, then it was most likely this pot of "Josephine".

"Why do you keep staring at people like that, people will be shy." A hoarse, melodious voice suddenly sounded from the shadows that had not been illuminated by the lamp.

Yue Shaoyi raised his head abruptly and saw a tall and plump naked woman standing in the shadows. Her long, dark purple curly hair hung languidly over her chest, covering her high, bare breasts. Her slender waist and slender thighs loomed in the shadows.

"Is it pretty?" Her languid voice rang out.

"Uh...... Cough...... What the hell, can you put on your clothes before you talk? Or you can use that sheet to block yourself first...... This novel is very serious, not some kind of erotic novel......" [Hell...... It's enough to have a little imp who doesn't wear clothes all day, why is there another one? ]

She reached for a sheet and wrapped herself in it, slowly stepping out of the shadows.

She gracefully flicked her long dark purple hair, revealing a smooth and beautiful face. It seems to be in his 30s, and he has a mature charm that the guy behind Yue Shaoyi who claims to be a beautiful girl does not have at all. Her figure fluctuated, and the white and light sheets obviously couldn't hide it. In the dim light, the bulge on her chest loomed......

[Okay!] Silly dog author! I'll just see this unhealthy picture for myself! What do you do when you describe it to readers? ]

"You're Josephine? You can't do that, right? Yue Shaoyi pointed to the dead old lady and asked her.

"What do you think?" Josephine fiddled with her long hair, lilac eyes staring directly at him.

"Jing, is she tainted?" Yue Shaoyi turned around and asked.

"No, it's normal."

[What's going on?] This woman has no motive to kill the old lady, but ...... Why ......]

He looked at Mrs. Liu who was lying on the rocking chair like a deep sleep in confusion, what was going on?

"Have you been here all along?" He looked at the purple-haired woman.

She shook her head. "I just came back tonight......"

"What time is the evening? Did you see how the old lady died? Yue Shaoyi asked suspiciously.

She nodded slightly.

"Was it human or spiritual? Did you see that? ”

"There is no other person or spirit. I'm the only one here to accompany her. Josephine looked tenderly at the old lady in the rocking chair with sadness in her eyes.

[What?] Isn't that still ...... Yes! Yue Shaoyi suddenly understood.

"I'm sorry." He said to Josephine.

"It's okay." She walked to the old lady wrapped in a light white sheet.

"I'm going to call the police, you can accompany her first." He said to Josephine, and then motioned for Jing and Xiao Nan to come out together.

"What? What does that mean? The bare-ass imp scratched his head and asked suspiciously, still puzzled.

"It's a natural death, Xiao Nan." Jing explained to him from the sidelines.

"Oh." The bare-eared imp nodded.

Yue Shaoyi took out his mobile phone, called the police, and explained the general matter.

"Let's wait here for the police." Yue Shaoyi turned off his phone and looked at Jing and Xiaonan. "Don't bother them."

He turned his head to look at the curtain separating the flower shop from the back room.

There was a whispered sobbing from the room......

……………………………………

Yue Shaoyi stayed in the flower shop all night, watching the policemen who arrived come and go, and made a record. At about one o'clock in the morning, the police had already notified the old lady's family to come to the scene to confirm the deceased. But they didn't arrive until seven in the morning.

Yue Shaoyi looked at the family of three, looked at the corpse under the white cloth, and nodded. The 13-year-old great-granddaughter burst into tears, while her parents looked expressionless and calm.

They walked over to Yue Shaoyi.

"You found out about my grandmother's passing, didn't you? Excuse me, waited here for so long. The old lady's grandson wore a crisp suit, a pair of silver-rimmed square glasses, and meticulously combed hair. It seems to have been sprayed with perfume or something.

Yue Shaoyi looked at him and shook his head.

"I heard the police say that you are an employee hired by my grandmother, right? You don't have to worry about wages, I will pay you a month's salary, which can be regarded as a thank you for taking care of my grandmother. He counted about three thousand yuan from the leather bag he was carrying and handed it to Yue Shaoyi.

"No, I don't." Yue Shaoyi looked down at this man who had died and had the heart to clean up.

"What do you mean? You ......" He looked at Yue Shaoyi in surprise.

"I said I didn't want money. I'm going to take Josephine away. Yue Shaoyi said expressionlessly.

"You're going to remove my grandmother's Louis XIV? No way! That's what we're going to use to honor Grandma. We'll take it back and raise it. And my daughter has always liked that pot of flowers......" The grandson looked at Yue Shaoyi seriously.

"Hmm...... My salary may not be enough for the value of the potted flowers, and I will make up for the difference. Yue Shaoyi completely ignored the grandson, and as he spoke, he turned around and planned to go to the house to move Josephine away.

"What are you pretending to be a little mess?! That flower was left by grandma! We're going to keep it at home as a souvenir! How could it be given to you?! A shrill female voice rang out behind him.

Yue Shaoyi turned his head to see that the old lady's granddaughter-in-law was pointing at him and said loudly.

"For you as a souvenir?" Yue Shaoyi laughed. "Memorial?"

"That's right! How could you possibly let you take it?! The pale woman with the face of melon seeds said loudly. The little great-granddaughter behind her was sobbing constantly, and she rubbed her red eyes and looked at Yue Shaoyi.

"It's ridiculous." Yue Shaoyi looked at them. "I haven't been working here for a long time, only half a month, why haven't I seen you here once? The old lady told me when she was alive that you can see her once every six months. Now that the person is dead, do you remember her? Yue Shaoyi looked at them and said expressionlessly.

"I ...... Aren't we busy...... We ......"

"It's coming." Yue Shaoyi interrupted the grandson's words. "Are you busy, are you busy with, busy shopping for clothes or doing hair? Do you still want to support your wife's Josephine? Do you know how long you need to spend in the sun in a day? How many days to water? When to apply thin fertilizer water? Do you know what to do in different seasons? Yue Shaoyi asked them rhetorically. [Hmph, I don't know.] But this forced it to pretend. ]

The grandson blushed and didn't know what to say.

"Do you care if we can raise it? The flowers are our family! If we raise it to death, we won't give it to you! The pale woman cried out loudly.

Yue Shaoyi looked at the woman expressionlessly.

"I'm sorry, auntie, are you an old lady's daughter or something? You should be their babysitter, right? Don't interject, okay? Yue Shaoyi looked at her disdainfully and asked.

The pale woman was so angry that she rushed over to scratch him. Yue Shaoyi pushed her away.

"The old lady has just left, and I'm not in the mood to say anything to you anymore. In any case, I will never hand Josephine over to you. ”

Yue Shaoyi walked into the back room and moved out of Josephine. Walk straight out the door.

The woman also tried to stop her, but Xiao Jing secretly tripped her up.

"You're going to take good care of Josephine, aren't you?" A timid female voice sounded behind Yue Shaoyi.

He looked back and saw that it was the great-granddaughter that the old lady loved the most during her lifetime.

"Of course."

"Can I go see her? Can you give me an address? She asked softly. (Side quest!) ）

"Of course."

Yue Shaoyi left her the address of her home, turned around and left.

"Reliable, little man." The spirit of the dark purple rose appeared next to Yue Shaoyi at some point, and she stared at his side face and said.

"Don't be mistaken, I'm cheeky enough to ask you to come for the sake of the old lady. And don't call me a little man! I'm not small! Yue Shaoyi shook his head and said.

"Huh~ Your conversation is so strange." Jing said while covering his face.

"What's wrong?" Josephine blinked. "When I say small, I mean you're very young. What do you mean? ”

"Huh? Ahem, I thought it was too young. Yue Shaoyi coughed dryly.

Josephine smiled charmingly. "I'm going to live in your house in the future, I'm excited. You can't just be responsible for watering my body, remember to take care of me too. She whispered in Yue Shaoyi's ear.

"Huh? What are you talking about? Why don't I get it? Isn't that what it means? [Humph!] I'm determined to become a pure actor like One Piece Luffy, and I will never become Nobita among robot cats! If you can understand it, you have to pretend that you don't understand! ]

"Uh...... Josephine, what is the [Soulintools] that you gave me when you signed a contract with me? Yue Shaoyi intends to steer the topic to a healthy aspect.

"What, are you so impatient? Do you want to be the master of the family so much? I hate you. Josephine glanced at him with a blushing face.

……

Yue Shaoyi made up his mind to talk to this woman less in the future. No, not a word to say to her if it is not necessary.

"Why don't you speak? Master? The woman with long dark purple hair whispered in his ear.

"Is it shy? So you're such a soul purifier...... It doesn't matter, anyway, I'll only love you in the future. (Louis XIV Flower Language.) ）”

She floated into the air, pure white sheets and long dark purple hair fluttering in the wind, and the scent of roses came in the morning wind.
