Volume 1: I Am the Heavenly Master Chapter 9 Stay in Xinxing
When I got out of the hotel, I paid a lot of money for a taxi, because I expected that the fare to my destination would be at least fifteen oceans. After getting on the bus, I gave the master a general explanation of my needs and wishes, and after a little thought, the driver pulled me to a 'new village', an urban village between the railway station and the post and telecommunications building. The driver was very good, not because I was a foreigner to take me around, only charged me twelve oceans.
"Here, the rent is cheap, and it is about a kilometer away from the post and telecommunications building and the railway station, which is very suitable for the sling wire that has just arrived in Xinxing. Go try your luck! ”
'How does he know I'm a sling?' Still, I thanked the driver and dragged my suitcase into the village.
At this time, I received a text message on my phone, I looked at the time, it was almost eleven o'clock.
'Honey, they'll bring you lunch in a moment. The program was over, and I came back after lunch. ’
I didn't have any other thoughts than guilt.
The new village does not look big, but in recent years, the planning and development of the city has gradually integrated the village into the city. There are no fields left in the surrounding area, only a newly erected high-rise community. However, the village is very lively, the houses facing the street are almost all connected, roller shutters are installed, counter shelves are installed, and the villagers have started small business.
A convenience store at the entrance of the village that looks like a small scale has a large umbrella at the door, and a set of fixed plastic tables and chairs for four people under the umbrella. It seems that the boss has a deep understanding of the Buddha's mind: it is convenient for himself to be convenient with others. There are often people sitting there to rest, which can naturally drive the flow of people in the supermarket.
When I got to the door, I just sat down and wanted to rest for a few minutes, when the boss greeted me.
"I just came to Xinxing, has the house been rented?" The owner looks pleasant, with a stylish mustache under his nose, which is neatly groomed and clean. I know that way, no one will notice his bare head.
"Not yet, a friend introduced me here."
Before we could officially start chatting, two beautiful girls dressed in very simple clothes walked straight to us on the road.
I looked at the two of them, and my face involuntarily showed the look of seeing a beautiful woman, which caused the boss to look back.
"Enough!" The boss swallowed and spat.
The boss didn't swallow a few times to spit at the mouth, and the beautiful woman was already in front of him.
"Hello, I'm a volunteer propagandist, and I'll send you some anti-deception tips. Big Brother Uncle find out! "One of the young people handed me two color pages, one for each of my boss and I. The other went straight to the supermarket.
"Uncle, take a look! This is a leaflet we made, mainly aimed at the ways and methods used by some charlatans, especially for you middle-aged and elderly people. ”
I can see that the boss is a little unhappy, revealing a middle-aged person, who asked you to add an old word? I'm going to do it with you.
"Little sister, what should you do if you meet a poor liar?" The boss threw out a strange question.
'There will be something hateful about the wretched. This is the way I can think of answering, but the girl is obviously not fully prepared, I don't know how to deal with the uncle's difficulties, I was speechless for a while, stunned for two seconds, turned to me and said: "Handsome guy, you understand science, it's okay to persuade your father, don't trust others easily, especially if you say that you can predict good luck and evil, drive away evil spirits and catch demons." ”
I feel like I'm lying down, I didn't provoke you, you will take me first, but after thinking about it, she doesn't know that I am a heavenly master, forget it, those who don't know are not guilty, I forgive you.
"Uh... He's not my dad! I replied to the girl.
The boss got a bargain and said happily: "This science is still superstition, and sometimes it's really unclear." If I give you my son's contact information, you can help me get through to him first, and let him go back to Xinxing to persuade me. In fact, I believe that if I meet a celestial master, I can really kneel down for him and ask him to help me drive away evil spirits......"
It's obvious that he fell in love with someone else's daughter for his son, and someone else is still using this old-fashioned pickup?
"Yes, uncle, if you can convince one to be one, give me your son's phone! Where is he? The girl took out her phone and prepared to record it, as if she had completely gotten into the boss's trap.
Fortunately, the boss was quite serious after the joke, and did not tell the girl his son's phone number, so Quan Dang made a joke.
The girl who entered the supermarket also came out, looking to be in her early twenties, slightly taller, dressed less but neat and stylish, and felt like she had a vigorous BUFF. The appearance is also more stable, and the appearance can also be described as a cherry small-mouthed willow leaf eyebrow, with a pair of big eyes that are radiant, which is my favorite style. The two began to sing a double reed, saying that now superstitious activities are more particular about people in the city, and what incense and worship Buddha, five elements gossip and house feng shui are quietly revived.
While they were chatting hotly, I roughly finished the contents of the leaflet, and it was reasonable. He cited SMS scams, counterfeit drugs and a certain army remnant who had huge deposits in banks in other countries that could not be withdrawn. It also argues the non-existence of the soul and the clever words of fortune tellers from the perspective of materialist science from various aspects.
Naturally, I don't argue with anything, the fewer people who know the existence of souls, the better. I was intrigued by the contact at the end of the leaflet, 'Zhuang Yan! ’
I remembered that there was an article written by her in the magazine I saw on the plane to Xinxing, and I really wanted to ask the two beauties for some information about Zhuang Yan. But I couldn't help it, I just asked about these things when we met, people might not tell me, and I didn't have to be bored, just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
The boss was pretending to be crazy and stupid and had a heated discussion with the two beauties, and he told the beauties one by one: 'I believe that there are ghosts in the world, what's wrong with you?' ’
The younger beauty blushed and didn't know how to reply. I like the type of beauties, always smiling and listening to the boss's sophistry, and kindly using scientific knowledge and theories to deeply influence the boss. As if waiting for Maria's apparition, waiting for the boss's mouth to open.
Perhaps seeing the corners of my mouth gloating, the beauty turned to me.
"Handsome guy, your dad is very stubborn!"
I almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood, and looked at my boss with resentment.
"Since the beauties have said it, Daddy won't lose you." The boss took advantage of it seriously.
'Call you Grandma. I cursed in my heart, turned my head and said, "My father is a high-level intellectual, who has received the teachings of materialism and atheism since he was a child, and has never believed in evil. Don't worry, this old man has bad intentions, I will help you supervise him, he wants to engage in feudal superstition, I will report him as soon as possible"
"You don't have to report it, I hope you can use what you've learned to help others establish the right outlook and values. The phone number on the flyer is mine, please feel free to consult me if you have any questions. ”
'You're Zhuang Yan?' I couldn't help but think, 'It's not the same as the women I have in mind who can write articles!' Isn't it supposed to be a middle-aged woman wearing standard professional overalls and a pair of round-edged gold wire glasses? ’
"Okay, good luck to the uncle and handsome guy, and we're going to send out a leaflet." While I was still thinking about it, the beautiful woman did not stay any longer and went to the village.
"What kind of house do you want to rent, young man?" The boss didn't take the two girls in his eyes and went straight to the point.
"Punctuality!" I also looked at the backs of the two of them.
The boss knocked on the table, "What kind of house do you want to rent?" ”
"Oh!" I came back to my senses and said, "It's cheap, it's convenient." ”
"Then you've come to the right place." The boss got up and dragged my suitcase into the convenience store, "Xiao Li, take care of this box for me." After saying that, he turned around and personally led me to see the house.
Thirty minutes later, I rented the special room for my son to get rid of the single prepared by the boss for my son at a price of 800 per month. The room is decorated in the style of an apartment, with a living room, bedroom, bathroom, and kitchenette. It's the kind of little couple who can stay until the next morning and come out as soon as they close the door when they get home.
The boss offered a price of 2,005, but according to my homework in advance, the rental price in this neighborhood is about 500 for a single room of about 15 square meters. His apartment is full of 30 square meters, and after I knew the reason and stalked, the boss compromised and was directly cut into 800 by me. According to the per capita income of the current residents in Xinxing City, this is also nearly one-third of the income.
"Me too, seeing that your house has been empty for a long time and wasteful, I only thought about renting it. Otherwise, if the eight hundred are given to you, I will only be able to drink the northwest wind. "It's cheap, I haven't forgotten to sell it.
"Gotta get it! If it weren't for the fact that I hadn't rented it out for half a year, I wouldn't have been willing to rent it to you at such a low price. The boss looked disgusted, with a thick mustache between his mouth and nose, and his words turned up and down, like a certain leader in World War II.
Dragging my suitcase, I arrived at the room I had just rented.
The room is very satisfied, the walls are whitewashed, no one has lived in it yet, and the necessary furniture is almost complete. It's just that the household appliances, except for the range hood in the kitchen, have to be prepared by themselves. Because I liked this house very much, and I was afraid that the boss would start the price in the future, I signed a three-year contract with the boss. The boss originally prepared for his son, who graduated from college, but the son did not choose to return to Xinxing after graduation, but stayed in the big city to develop, and the house was vacant for half a year. There were a lot of people who came to ask for the price, but after listening to the boss's offer, they almost didn't dare to bargain and left. As for the usual cost of living, I paid back the price ruthlessly, and after grinding for about ten minutes, the boss really bit his dentures and agreed to break his leather shoes.
Put away the suitcase, check the room, get ready to clean up, and then go downstairs to buy some bedding, Jiajia's call came.
"Aren't you at the hotel?" Jiajia's cautious voice came from the earpiece, which must be the result that the waiter who delivered the meal did not knock on the door and called to inquire. I don't know how to answer......
"Speak!" The voice was not loud, but it looked pitiful.
"I'm sorry!"
I don't know what else to say other than those three words.
After a long while, Jiajia's voice came: "It's nothing, you take care of yourself, you have time to come and see me." ”
"I will."
After speaking, Jiajia didn't speak again, and I was stuck in my throat, unable to speak. The two of them just held the phone, neither of them wanted to hang up the phone first, but they couldn't speak, I could even feel her heartbeat on the phone, and I wanted to tell her loudly that I would go back to the hotel and wait for her.
