Chapter 8: The Director of the Welfare Institute
After arriving in Xuancheng, Lin Hao, with the help of his classmates, quickly found a job that suited him and worked as a security guard in a hotel. Although the salary is not high, less than 2,000, I live comfortably and chic every day, going to work during the day and reading books in a bubble Internet café at night.
If he hadn't met Tang Tianxin, Lin Hao would never have believed that in today's era of rapid development of science and technology, there are so many bizarre, terrifying and exciting, terrifying and exciting things, although Tang Tianxin is lying to him, he doesn't hold a grudge, Tang Tianxin's Taoism is simply a five-body throw that he admires.
That jade pendant was reluctant to take it off even when he was sleeping, whenever he missed Tang Tianxin, he took it out and played with it, and then his mind was full of Tang Tianxin's graceful figure and light and elegant Taoism.
"Why didn't I follow her at the time, why was I so stupid? If I had pretended to be confused at the time, wouldn't it be nice to go to Guangzhou with him? It is safe to make a lot of money with her, and you can enjoy the mountains and rivers with the company of beautiful women. Later, when I returned to the village, I envied my few bachelors. ”
Whenever in the dead of night, he always thinks about this problem, and when he regrets that he can't stand it, he hides in the quilt and slaps himself twice: "Lin Hao, Lin Hao, you have to die to save face and suffer crimes, and you will never have a chance in the future, and you will never want to see her again in this life." ”
Now Lin Hao estimates that he has "willow phobia", and he has to take a long detour to and from work, because when he passes by the river, there is a row of willow trees planted, the breeze blows, and the wicker is rustling, Lin Hao will always feel scared, afraid that this row of willows will suddenly jump over and press him to the ground, inhale his breath from mouth to mouth, and then his stomach will begin to cramp and want to vomit.
At the same time, Lin Hao had a very strong interest in Taoism, and went to the Internet café to search for information on "Tiandemen" first, and bought a lot of idle books about cultivating and casting spells at home.
From these books, Lin Hao learned that he had to bathe and fast before drawing talismans, knew the things that could see ghosts, in addition to rhino horn candles, and cow tears, understood the difference between demons, ghosts, ghosts, ghosts, and zombies, and understood that eating more garlic could actually ward off evil spirits.
From these books, Lin Hao remembered a lot of things, he knew what kind of ghost to catch and what kind of talisman to draw; What kind of magic swings what kind of array; What kind of demon is removed, and what kind of law is cast; What kind of sword is used to destroy what kind of monster; What kind of soul to cross, what kind of mantra.
In this way, he gradually grew bold and dared to kick twice on the row of willow trees by the river. At this time, how he hoped that these willow trees would become human beings, so that he could operate them in actual combat. Maybe there are some demons and monsters somewhere, so that he can show his skills.
It's a pity that Lang Lang is busy, the traffic is busy, and the singing and dancing are leveling, where can he go to find these demons and monsters, it is really useless for heroes.
Just when he thought that all these things he learned were for nothing, he didn't expect that there would be business coming to his door.
It was half a year after he and Tang Tianxin were separated, and I remember that it was Laba Festival, and the cold wind was howling. Lin Hao got off work and just came back from drinking a bowl of hot laba porridge in a small restaurant.
When he walked downstairs to the rented unit, he found a man squatting at the entrance of the building, about forty-six or seventeen, tall and thin, wearing a thick jacket, dressed very neatly, with a briefcase under his armpit, from his appearance, Lin Hao could guess that this person must be a certain leader of a certain unit, or a national cadre. But such an identity is squatting at the top of the stairs in the cold, there must be something urgent.
When Lin Hao walked to the staircase, this person kept staring at Lin Hao, and Lin Hao also stared at him.
"Are you looking for someone?" Lin Hao couldn't hold back and asked, and he couldn't stand this person's gaze.
The man immediately showed a smile that can only be seen when he begged someone, stood up and asked, "Hello, this brother, may I ask...... Well, do you know a person named Lin Hao? ”
Lin Hao's heart drummed, he didn't expect this person to be looking for him, he was just an ordinary worker, and everyone he knew was circling around the working circle, how could there be a cadre-level person squatting at the top of the stairs and enduring the cold to find him?
He didn't think about it recently, so this person shouldn't be plainclothes.
But you still have to be cautious, Lin Hao asked rhetorically: "What are you looking for him?" ”
"I have a very urgent matter to ask him for help." The man's eyes lit up, "I managed to find this place with great difficulty, if you know him...... You must know him, right, so please take me to meet him. ”
Then he hurriedly showed his business card, and sure enough, Lin Hao did not guess wrong, although this person's identity is not very prominent, but he also eats grain from the national treasury, and his business card reads "Director of Zhuozhou Children's Welfare Institute: Wei Qisheng." ”
Zhuozhou is more than 400 miles away from Xuancheng, Lin Hao's mind is spinning rapidly, guessing that this person has something to ask him to help with, what kind of difficulty can make a person with such an identity run more than 400 miles to find his help?
Although he knew his identity, Lin Hao still didn't take the liberty to agree, because he was careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Ship.
"Oh, it's Dean Wei, but I'm sorry, Lin Hao's hometown has something urgent to go back."
"Wouldn't it? What's the urgency? ”
"He went home and gathered the wheat."
As soon as the words came out, Lin Hao wanted to smoke a few big mouths of himself, harvesting wheat in the cold winter? It's more credible to say that going back and feeding the pigs is more credible. But the words have already been spoken, and they cannot be taken back.
"Don't be funny, little brother, he must still be living here, right? Little brother, I really have a very urgent matter, it is about an orphan, you must ask him to help me. ”
"Uh-huh......"
"You're Lin Hao, aren't you?" Wei Qisheng suddenly smiled, grabbed Lin Hao's hand excitedly, and the briefcase fell to the ground.
Wei Qisheng grabbed Lin Hao's hand very tightly in excitement, and Lin Hao didn't pull it out after a few strokes.
"Master Lin, I found you after several twists and turns, I really have no malicious intentions, you can rest assured of this. You must come to the rescue of Xiaowan, I am afraid that you are the only person in the world who can save her. ”
"What? You...... What do you call me? ”
"Master Lin, I know that your mana is strong, and you will definitely be able to save Xiaowan."
Oh my God, Lin Hao didn't expect to read a few books, and his fame was so loud, it was actually loud for a radius of four hundred miles.
As for this Wei Qisheng, Lin Hao could think of it with his ass that he was here to ask him to save people. Isn't that exactly what he dreamed of?
"Dean Wei, how did you know about me?"
"Oh, did you catch a demon with a master named Tang Tianxin in Xiangyun Hotel half a year ago?"
"That's right, that's right." Lin Hao said excitedly. His heroic deeds were finally unearthed, and the battle finally made him famous.
Wei Qisheng also rubbed his hands happily and said, "Great, great, Xiaowan is saved, Xiaowan is saved." ”
At this time, Lin Hao realized that he couldn't let the family have a leader, so he stood at the top of the stairs in the cold weather, and hurriedly invited Wei Qisheng into his rental house that was slightly bigger than the chicken butt and slightly cleaner than the pig's nest.
Wei Qisheng looked around Lin Hao's room and exclaimed, "I can't imagine that an immortal like you is so simple in terms of life. ”
He didn't know whether he was sarcastic or sincere, Lin Hao poured him a glass of water with a red face, and moved a bench to ask Wei Qisheng to sit down.
It was really cold in the room, Wei Qisheng curled up and sat down, picked up a glass of water and warmed his hands. He saw Lin Hao hurriedly folding the quilt, so he said: "I heard that Master Lin, when you and Master Tang captured the willow tree spirit together, it was simply a god descending to earth, holding the Qingfeng sword in his hand, stepping on somersault clouds, calling for wind and rain, lightning and thunder, and fighting with the willow spirit on the wasteland behind the Xiangyun Hotel for 500 rounds. I can't imagine that someone as powerful as you doesn't fold the quilt when you get up in the morning. ”
After saying this, Lin Hao almost fainted, sat on the edge of the bed with his mouth open, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and ask, "Are you...... These...... These are all listened to by whom. ”
"My son told me."
"Who did your son listen to?"
Wei Qisheng said with a smile: "My son has a colleague, and his father-in-law's sister-in-law lives in Shanghai, and it just so happens that the neighbor is the son of the proprietress of Xiangyun Hotel. ”
"That's what the boss's son said?"
"I guess so." Wei Qisheng said, "Although I also feel exaggerated, but there is no wind and no waves, you must have very outstanding skills." Am I right? Master Lin. ”
"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, hehe......"
Lin Hao scolded the eighteenth generation of the proprietress's son's ancestors in his heart: Your grandmother's turtle grandson, when Lao Tzu and Sister Xin were catching demons in your hotel, you were fucking hiding in Shanghai, which dog eye did you see Lao Tzu soaring through the clouds? Lao Tzu has to have this ability and go to a fart class, and he has already protected Tang Sanzang to obtain the Western Scriptures. There are thousands of willow spirits, there are so many monsters, you bastard has died thousands of times. Rumors and trouble, nonsense, why don't you tell people that I kissed your mother.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, his fingers were pinched, but Wei Qisheng didn't notice it, he said: "Master Tang, I really can't find it, I can only ask you to find it, Master Lin, I also took a lot of effort to find you, I inquired in many ways, and after looking for two days, I found out that you were working as a security guard in a hotel in this city, Master Lin, why do people like you want to be a security guard in a low voice, this job is ......"
"Dean Wei, shouldn't you get down to business?" Lin Hao really felt that this Wei Qisheng was a little annoying, "You just said that I should save Xiaowan?" ”。
"Yes, yes, look at me, I forgot about it when I was happy."
He took a sip of water and said, "Master Lin, you wouldn't have thought of what Xiao Wan had experienced. She just turned nine years old this year, and in March, a car accident took the lives of her parents, and Xiaowan was also hit by the car accident, which damaged her retina and blinded her eyes......
Lin Hao would feel depressed every time he heard this kind of tragedy, and sighed: "Poor child, she should be in your welfare home now, right?" ”
"yes." Wei Qisheng said, "Such a poor child, there are even more terrible things that have happened to her. ”
