Chapter 20: Hidden Taboos

"Old, boss......"

Wu Ning, a regular worker, was covered with cold sweat on his forehead, and his tightly clenched hands trembled like a Parkinson's patient.

Wu Heishan, who had always been lazy, rarely opened his dog's eyes wide, looked at his hands, and salivated.

Wu Ning turned his head stiffly and confirmed with his boss one last time: "Really, really, really hey?" ”

"Nonsense." Wu Jiu leaned on the stairs and nibbled on apples seductively.

Wu Ning turned his head in despair, gritted his teeth and spread his palms: "Eat, poison you." ”

After being promoted to a regular worker, the boss paid more attention to him and handed over the work of feeding the dogs to him, but it was just ......

His outstretched palm revealed two glittering gold bars, the kind that could flash blind dog eyes, but unfortunately only showed his face, and was swept away by Wu Heishan's tongue.

The crunching sound sounds very emotional.

1 gold bar 500g, 1g pure gold 300+, 2 gold bars...... More than 300,000. Wu Ning counted silently in his heart, and the more he calculated, the more painful his heart became, this is not a dog, it is an ancestor.

Wu Heishan is an extraordinary dog, he knows it in his heart, and he also deliberately searched the Internet for the seven ancient spirit dogs, some can discharge, can breathe fire, love to eat the sun, give people as mounts, and follow the three-eyed owner...... None of them are like Wu Heishan.

Wu Heishan can devour emotions, and can also suppress spirits, and now there is one more: the Gold Devouring Beast.

Looking at Wu Heishan, who was full of wine and food and intoxicated with a dog's face, Wu Ning sighed resignedly, people are not as good as dogs, this is the truth, he is still struggling on the poverty line, and the expensive dog eats a living room with a snack.

After completing the self-esteem of feeding the dog, Wu Xiaoer turned his head to feed the fish.

“1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8…… 8? ”

He remembered that he had bought 25 goldfish, and with the two leftovers, there should have been 27 fish.

Wu Ninghu suspiciously recounted, yes, it's still 8.

Eight survivors walked weakly in the fish tank.

In the huge fish tank, the lush aquatic plants are floating and swaying, the sand at the bottom of the fish tank is delicate and floodlight, and the undulating landscape stones are more and more majestic under the illumination of the top lights, and occasionally stand a few towers, like a water degree.

How can an emperor-level mansion not raise fish?

Wu Ning took the fishing rod and reached into the fish tank, trying to fish out the dead fish corpses, but after fluttering for a long time, no dead fish was found, and the 19 fish seemed to melt away in groups.

"What's the matter, shouldn't it......" he muttered as he put away the fishing rod.

Wu Jiu, who was munching on an apple on the stairs, glanced at the fish tank, and quickly looked away.

The abnormal boss has an abnormal dog, and even the fish tank is not a serious fish tank. It's because he's too young, this isn't a normal store in the first place, Wu Ning slandered.

"Tuk-tuk." There was a knock on the door.

Wu Ning, who was sluggish, instantly cheered up and came to business.

"Welcome."

There was a young couple standing in front of the store, poking their heads into the store.

"Please, what are you looking for?" Wu Ning enthusiastically brought the person into the house.

"We're looking for Doudou!" The little couple said in unison.

Wu Jiu stretched out his hand at Wu Heishan with no interest, and Wu Heishan immediately rushed into his arms like an arrow off the string.

"Beanie?" Wu Ning repeated.

"Yes, Doudou is a boy, he is lost, I hope you can help us find him."

The girl pulled out a wad of paper from her bag, handed it to him, and said with tears in her eyes: "This is his picture." ”

Wu Ning looked fixedly, and a coffee-colored teddy stood in the photo, provocatively spreading his legs at the camera.

"Dogs?" Greyhounds? Or the reincarnated Teddy? Wu Ninghu looked at the boss suspiciously.

Wu Jiu fluttered down the sentence: "This kind of trivial matter will be handed over to you." ”

Then he continued to concentrate on holding the kernel of the apple that he had gnawed, and tried to stuff it into the mouth of Wu Heishan, who was struggling desperately.

Wu Ning's expression fell, could it really be a dog?

……

Time flies, and half a month has passed in a blink of an eye.

It is now late August, and Wu Ning is entangled in whether to review and retake the exam.

In fact, his results were a little worse last year, so it's a pity to give up like this.

"I've told you your fortune, but you can't pass the test." Wu Jiu knocked the melon seeds elegantly, his posture was very beautiful, and his expression was very owed.

Wu Ning secretly glanced at him, and I have to say that his courage is really fattening.

"What, not convinced? Look at the degree of completion of your commission in the first half of the month, what kind of graduate studies will you take if you can't even do some small things. Wu Jiu said unceremoniously.

It's okay not to mention this, but when I mention this, Wu Ning's grief and indignation are like the surging Yellow River, and it is out of control.

"Boss, why do I do all the work of finding cats and dogs? With this income, can you afford to raise Montenegro? ”

Teddy named Doudou, Garfield named Meimei, hamster called Dandan...... Recalling the past, Wu Ning's eyes were full of bitter tears.

Wu Jiu pouted: "Fate does not bring wealth, this is your problem." ”

Wu Ning: ??? It's enough for other people's employees to be diligent and diligent, but your employees still have to be fatal? It's too hard.

"Tuk-tuk." There was a knock on the door.

Wu Ning's body stiffened, no longer had the excitement before, and his heart was full of fear of being dominated by cats, dogs and mice.

The door opened, and an old man walked in.

The old man looked like he was in his fifties and sixties, with a cane, his hair was almost white, and his face with sunglasses was covered with traces of time. But he has a ruddy complexion and a straight body, and obviously pays attention to maintenance.

"You're a detective agency, right?"

Wu Ning squeezed out a smile: "Sort of, please take a seat, what did you lose?" ”

The old man sat down, looked at the antique copper stove on the wooden table, and did not answer Wu Ning's question but praised again and again: "The boss is elegant, this is an old object, but why is there no incense stove?" ”

Wu Jiu glanced at the immovable wind chimes, and said lazily: "This incense is extraordinarily fragrant, which can open the eyes, remove lesions, and communicate with ghosts and gods." Hospitality, wasted. ”

The old man was surprised when he heard this, and his eyes behind his sunglasses became cautious.

"I was just passing by, but after listening to the owner's words, I felt that it was a kind of fate to be able to enter this store. I think...... Let you help me find someone. ”

Looking for someone, Wu Ning was frustrated and a little fortunate at the same time, at least not a pet.

"Who is the old gentleman looking for?"

"I want to find a girl named Sun Qian, who disappeared two days ago."

The old man propped up his sunglasses, the whites of his left eyes were actually red, the sockets were slightly swollen, and the corners of his eyes oozed pale pink liquid.

The old man took out a wet towel from his pocket and wiped it gently, and when he saw Wu Ning's surprised look, he explained: "It's a traumatic injury, and I'm waiting in line for a donor to do a transplant, which is abrupt." ”

Wu Ning was aware of it, and became interested in what he said about his disappearance.

"I take the liberty of asking, if you have been missing for more than 24 hours, you can call the police to deal with it, why do you want to ......?"

"Ugh." The old man sighed, "I was going to call the police, but the people around me didn't think she was missing, and I didn't have a proper identity." ”

"What is your relationship with Sun Qian?" Wu Ning asked curiously.

The old man paused, as if in organizational language: "We...... It's a year-old friend, it's very talkative, and it's a pleasure to get along. ”

Wu Ning frowned, feeling something strange: "This Miss Sun Qian, how old is this year?" ”

"19 years old."
