Chapter 12 – A Brief Peace
Shen Bai, who returned to the office first, was pressed on the bed by Fei Yu to rest, and kept counting Shen Bai's reckless impulsive behavior, Shen Bai could only smile apologetically at Fei Yu, saying that he would not be so impulsive in the future. In fact, Shen Bai doesn't understand why he risked his life to negotiate conditions with the Wutong God for the sake of a person he didn't know at that time, if it weren't for the fact that the Wutong God has cultivated for I don't know how many years, the fierce qi has receded a lot, and it is estimated that he would really explain it there, thinking about it, Shen Bai fell asleep unconsciously.
It was already more than three o'clock in the morning when he returned to the office, and Fei Yu went back to his room to sleep after Shen Bai fell for a long time. The tranquility of the evening was about to pass, and after Ye Qing brought the man back on the other side, he sat on the sofa in the client's house with a cold face and said nothing-if it weren't for luck, Shen Bai would probably die at the hands of the Wutong God. But this man didn't care about everything Shen Bai did for him, and he didn't even touch it at all, which made Ye Qing very angry.
Although he was angry, Ye Qing didn't bother Guo Running and the man, after all, this was the last time they could spend together. After leaving a note, Ye Qing went to sleep in a hotel outside, planning to wait for them to finish the last time before going to collect the commission fee. After all, the person was also recovered, and Shen Bai also tried his best to save the man's life for one more day.
Ye Qing waited until the time was about to come, and came to Guo Running's house again and found that the man was nowhere to be found. And the woman who was entrusted this time, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and after Ye Qing, who couldn't bear it, comforted her for a few words, the woman gradually stopped crying; Then he handed Ye Qing a bank card, didn't say anything, turned around and sat by the window and looked out blankly. Ye Qing sighed and turned to leave. The lonely figure in the room was still looking out the window······
"Boss~ Ye Qing is back~ What are we going to eat at noon?" As soon as Ye Qing entered the office, Fei Yu rushed over from behind the desk of the usual receptionist, pulled Ye Qing and ran to Shen Bai's room upstairs, shouting out the words that made Ye Qing have a black line as he ran. If you can choose your own way of dying, this guy Fei Yu will definitely choose to eat death... This is what Ye Qing thinks in his heart at this time!
Although it was already 11 o'clock and almost noon, Shen Bai was very seriously injured by Wutongshen, so he went out of Feiyu to ask him to eat; The rest of the time I fell asleep. Shen Bai didn't expect that the success of the five gods would beat him so badly, and now he didn't have any other thoughts at all except for wanting to sleep. After hearing the news of Ye Qing's return, he sat up and looked at Fei Yu and Ye Qing who were clubbed at the door of his room with sleepy eyes, and said, "You guys go out to eat, just bring me some when you come back, I just want to sleep now." After saying that, he lay down and went back to sleep.
Ye Qing looked at Shen Bai's appearance, and after handing Fei Yu the bank card that the client paid the honorarium, he asked Fei Yu if he had taken Shen Bai to the hospital for an examination after he came back. Fei Yu shook his head and said that Shen Bai got off the train and insisted on going back to the office directly, and he could only use his spiritual vision to look at Shen Bai's physical condition, and found that Shen Bai's yang qi was very weak, and it was estimated that he had been consumed too much yang qi by the demon qi of the five gods, and he had to recuperate. In addition to eating on weekdays, he didn't ask too much about Shen Bai's physical condition. In desperation, Ye Qing could only follow Fei Yu to eat out first.
And Shen Bai was asleep at this time, and dreamed that he was dressed in a white robe, and in a strange space, he pulled out a sword from his back, a total of eight swords, and inserted them into a large circle on the ground; But there's a gap in the direction I don't know. In the dream, I feel like I'm waiting for something to come, but every time I get here, I wake up. Because every time I dream about this scene, I always have a palpitation for no reason, but I don't know why······
After Ye Qing followed Fei Yu to eat, he told Fei Yu to take care of Shen Bai, saying that he wanted to find something to help Shen Bai recover his body, and left in a hurry. Fei Yu reluctantly brought two baskets of mutton buns back to the office, woke up Shen Bai, told Ye Qing about leaving, and then went downstairs and slumped in the chair behind the desk and took a nap. (What a pig...) An unknown person said in his heart)
Shen Bai slept until it was almost dark before he got up to go to the toilet, and asked Fei Yu listlessly if Ye Qing had come back. I wanted to go back to the room and go to sleep, Fei Yu asked Shen Bai with a worried look if it didn't matter, Shen Bai suddenly reacted, since he returned to the office, he couldn't wake up except for eating and excreting, and he couldn't wake up without sleeping, so Shen Bai hurriedly returned to the room and mentioned his true qi to silently run the "Three Qing Dao Recipes" and began to practice.
These three Qing Taoist recipes were taught by Shen Bai's master, Taoist recipes that he had been practicing since he was four years old; Not only is it used to cultivate the true qi of the Dao technique, but it can also consolidate one's own yang qi. Since Shen Bai's master died, Shen Bai hadn't remembered to practice this "Three Qing Dao Recipes" for a long time, and what he practiced on weekdays was some Dao methods to exorcise evil spirits and the special mental determination of the Seven Edicts of the Dragon and Tiger.
Fei Yu, who had nothing to do in the hall of the office, looked at the time and was almost nine o'clock in the evening, looked at the door with a painful face and thought: The boss doesn't know if he went back to sleep again, Ye Xiaozi didn't come back so late, I fucking wanted to go back to the house to read the novel and sleep, I had to wait for Ye Xiaozi to come back... Hey, I'm going to get tired and lose weight like this! Thinking about it, Fei Yu took out two meat buns from the refrigerator and heated them up and began to gnaw.
You're going to be tired and skinny?! Eating is at least three times that of others, except for entrusting Shen Bai to prepare things for a run, usually either paralyzed where to eat or holding the mobile phone I don't know what to do, if you can be tired and thin, Shen Bai is willing to believe that diet pills are harmless to the human body and have no side effects! I really don't have a B number in my heart...
As the clock ticked to 11 p.m.
Shen Bai couldn't resist his tiredness an hour ago, and gave up continuing to practice and sleep, while Fei Yu could only continue to wait for Ye Qing to come back in the hall. Just when Fei Yu yawned and was about to call Ye Qing to lock the door, Ye Qing came back with a wooden box in his hand.
"Fei Yu, there are still some medicinal baths outside, you can help get them in and close the door." Shen Bai is like this now, and he can't accept a commission. ”。 After Ye Qing finished speaking, he took the wooden box and went upstairs to find Shen Bai, and Fei Yu went out ————to see that there was a huge bath tub outside the office, full of Chinese medicine stacked in plastic bags, and there was an unassembled water heater next to it. Fei Yu wailed: "Ye boy, you are a coolie for me!" So many things you let me move alone? ”
However, there was no response...
When Fei Yu was moving things, Ye Qing woke Shen Bai up and handed over the wooden box in his hand, letting Shen Bai eat the contents of it, Shen Bai opened the wooden box and saw that it was a black mass of objects that he didn't know what it was, exuding a pungent smell. Shen Bai smelled the pungent smell, frowned, looked at Ye Qing and asked, "This..." What's it, why does it smell so pungent? And if it's black, can you eat this thing? ”
"Hmph, there are no beads, this is the red chain snake gall I brought out from the mountain gate when I first came down the mountain!"
"Snake gall bladder... Is there such a thing? ”
"That's the Red Chain Snake Demon that has been cultivated for more than 200 years, and my master has made a treasure from the snake demon's inner pill and its gall combined with herbs, and I'm afraid that I will encounter some monsters that will keep me alive. I just went to D City to store it in a store, you don't talk nonsense and eat and sleep quickly! Ye Qing looked at the bewildered Shen Bai with a dissatisfied expression and explained.
As soon as Shen Bai heard that it was something that Master Ye Qing left him to save his life, he immediately covered the wooden box and said in a deep voice: "This is what your master left you to save your life, what should I do if I eat you?" And this time, you helped me solve the commission and went to another place to practice, and you were alone without anything to save your life...", without waiting for Shen Bai to finish speaking, Ye Qing said: "When I took this thing, I contacted the mountain gate and told the master to experience in your shop, anyway, what your office deals with is a supernatural case, rather than me looking for it aimlessly, it is better to stay with you." Okay, stop talking nonsense, I'm going back to my room to sleep when I see you eat, I've been running back and forth for a few days, and I'm tired to death. ”
Listening to Ye Qing's words, Shen Bai's heart was filled with warmth, and after looking at Ye Qing gratefully, he opened the wooden box and grabbed the black snake gall and put it in his mouth. And then—his face suddenly turned pale! The thing in his mouth was astringent and bitter, with a heavy fishy smell, and Shen Bai almost vomited directly; After swallowing with the nausea in his mouth. Shen Bai, who was bitter-faced, saw the evil smile on Ye Qing's face, and finally understood why this kid didn't go to sleep until he had eaten it.
This kid... Definitely eaten before!
"Poof... Hahaha", Ye Qing saw that Shen Bai's face was blue when he ate, and he looked uncomfortable after eating, and finally laughed directly with a smile on his face. Shen Bai saw that he couldn't hold back his laughter, his face twitched, and he asked, "You kid must have eaten it before!" Is it cool to see me look like I've eaten? ”; Shen Baidan hurts, you said you have eaten it, don't you tell me how unpalatable this thing is, do you have to see my appearance?
"When I was practicing Qi before, my master gave me this thing once, which can increase the true qi and yang energy in my body. I spit it out when I ate it, and my master scolded me, stared at me and picked it up and ate it, and I will never forget the taste. You're so good, you didn't even spit it out... Hahaha. ”
Ye Qing Ninja smiled and told Shen Bai what he was eating at that time, and finally laughed out loud. I don't know if I laughed at Shen Bai's tangled face and hurt my egg just now, or laughed at myself for throwing up and being scolded by the master and picked it up and ate it. Then Ye Qing went back to the room to sleep, Shen Bai picked up the water cup next to the bed, drank two sips of water, and fell asleep. And downstairs Fei Yu is still struggling to move things - this goods is a coolie's life, don't say it!
The next day, Shen Bai woke up early, meditated on the bed and felt the true qi in his body, which was more than twice as strong as before!
While sighing at the magic of the 'snake gall', I also scolded in my heart: It's really unpalatable!
Shen Bai got dressed and walked into the bathroom and found that there was a huge bathtub! There is also a water heater hanging on the wall next to it. Shen Bai, who didn't know what was going on, pushed open Fei Yu's door and wanted to ask what was going on. (The finances of the office are generally handled by Fei Yu)
But Fei Yu slept like a dead pig, and he didn't wake up for a long time. In desperation, Shen Bai knocked on Ye Qing's door again-knock knock knock..." Ye Qing? Did you wake up? I'm in. "Come in. Hearing that Ye Qing had woken up, he pushed open the door and entered the room, and what caught his eye was a scatter of rune paper and cinnabar chips. Ye Qing was drawing talismans on a table, looked up at Shen Bai and continued to draw talismans with his head down, saying, "It seems to be very effective, I woke up so early." ”
Shen Bai's face darkened, recalling the taste... Tut-tut, I guess no one can stand it. Immediately, Shen Bai asked Ye Qing what was going on with the bath bucket and water heater that appeared in the bathroom on the second floor. Ye Qing Shi Ran put down the pen and paper in his hand and said: "That's what I bought when I took the snake gall bladder, and there are some medicinal materials for soaking in medicinal baths, it is estimated that Fei Yu is in the warehouse." Listen to what you mean, the water heater Fei Yu is directly installed? ”
Our poor Fei Yu spent a long time last night, and after moving things into the hall of the office, he found that no one was birding him, and he thought: If he sleeps directly by himself now, he will probably do all the hard work by himself when he gets up tomorrow. Early death and early superbirth, MD directly placed the bath bucket and water heater, and threw the medicinal materials into the warehouse first. MMP Ye Qing, you are shameless, you have only been here for less than two months, and you have learned from the boss to pick a child, let me work @#··· /**%&··· (1000 words of inner complaint in Fei Yu are omitted here)
After installing the water heater, Fei Yu moved the bath bucket up and put it under the water heater, and finally put the piles of medicinal materials into the warehouse. Seeing that the time was already two o'clock in the morning, I dragged my fat body into the house and fell asleep, thinking before going to bed - Ye Qing, you are shameless, the boss asked me to be a coolie, you wait for me...
"Fei Yu installed it? I thought you were looking for someone to pretend to be it, why are you doing this? In addition to the office, there is a bathhouse not far away, so isn't it okay to take a medicated bath and make boiling water directly? Only then did Shen Bai know why he couldn't wake up Fei Yu, that guy was carrying things and installing water heaters alone, and he was probably tired enough, let him sleep more.
"Since I'm going to stay here for a long time, I'm sure I'll have something to prepare. I'm not used to bathing in a bathhouse with a bunch of people, and I feel very uncomfortable. And I didn't use the task fee for these things, I bought them out of my own pocket, is there any problem? Ye Qing, who was afraid that Shen Bai would think that he was spending his honorarium, explained after explaining - these things were bought with his own money.
"I didn't mean that, I just didn't think it was necessary... But if you think it's convenient, just pretend.,After spending the money, let Fei Yu call you from my card.,After all, we'll definitely use it.,Won't you give it to us in vain when you go back to the mountain?" ”。 Shen Bai made a joke with Ye Qing and then said, "When Fei Yu wakes up, how about discussing how about redecorating the office together?" The deposit for this commission was 60,000 yuan, and the remuneration should be a lot; Since opening this office, we haven't been in much care of the decoration, so we have installed a sign and hastily done it. ”
Shen Bai had already had the idea of redecorating. After all, he bought this house and land when he decided to open the office here, and then he and Fei Yu were busy making a name for themselves while dealing with commissions, so they didn't have time to think about these things. More than half of the year, the White Night Office has become famous, and this mission has made a lot of money, of course he Shen Bai has to consider decorating it well, after all, this is a face, if he becomes famous in the future and is told by others - it won't be fun!
A few days later————
"Yes, yes, a little bit higher... The right side is a little higher and lower, boss, why are you so stupid... Uh, when I didn't say it. Xiaoyezi, you push a little to the boss's side, OKOK~". Fei Yu was watching Shen Bai and Ye Qing hang up the new signboard outside the office, and the three of them discussed for a long time, but Shen Bai resolutely disagreed to change the name; So a line of smaller words was added under the newly made signboard - only supernatural cases are accepted, and the rest of the business will not be handled! The signboard is still White Nights Office.
In the past few days, Shen Bai has asked workers to paint the exterior wall of the office blue-gray, and the door has been changed to an antique red maple door according to Ye Qing's suggestion, and the 'Five Emperor Money' from the antique market is buried under the threshold of the installation. The floor tiles of the entire hall have also been replaced with cyan gravel and black and white pebbles, paved with the shape of Tai Chi Yin and Yang fish. According to Fei Yu, he mixed a large bag of cinnabar into the cement as the workers laid the floor tiles, so that the cement between the stones on the ground was slightly reddish.
The furnishings of the hall have also become all solid wood tables, chairs and benches, and there are three chairs behind a huge carved wood table, the one in the middle is specially painted black, and the chairs of Ye Qing and Fei Yu on both sides are wood-colored. There is a set of tea sets and some ghost information on the table, which is convenient for judging what evil cult the client has encountered. There was also a bookshelf at the top of the staircase, filled with some books and materials that Shen Bai had selected from the reference room, as well as some completed event commissions.
After the efforts of several people and a large amount of financial expenditure, the whole firm has a new look! (PS: The main thing is to spend more money...) )
After that, Shen Bai looked at the brand-new office with satisfaction and sighed: "This is decent, the appearance of the previous office is simply miserable compared to the current one." Ye Qing looked at Shen Bai and smiled, and also agreed with Shen Bai's opinion.
And Fei Yu said with a painful face: "You two are satisfied, but do you know how much money was spent?" Counting Ye Qing's savings in the firm, the remuneration entrusted by Wutongshen and all our previous property, a total of more than 3 million; Now there are more than 300,000 left. You don't care about money, don't you feel distressed, right? ”
Shen Bai smiled and said, "Originally, I wanted to open this office in order to help others deal with supernatural cases. I didn't think about how much money I was going to make, just be able to make a living. Money is not enough to make money, why do you still care about this? After listening to Shen Bai's words, Fei Yu looked at Ye Qing, who was also smiling at him, and said in his heart: You are noble, and when you are poor in the future, you can't afford to eat meat, I don't think you are like this...
After the newly renovated affairs, from time to time there were Fei Yu's sighs and Ye Qing's ridicule. Shen Bai quietly enjoyed this moment of tranquility, I don't know when someone will come to entrust, maybe tomorrow, maybe someone will appear at the door in the next second, Shen Bai thought firmly in his heart: Master, the ideal you failed to complete, let Xiaobai complete it for you······
