Chapter 18: The Wax Man
[When I followed her to a room on the second floor, as soon as I entered the door, I saw a middle-aged and elderly man lying on the head of the bed, he was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and at first glance, I thought of a successful person, a great person in the business world. He watched us coming, got up from the wooden chair, and gestured to us friendly, more approachable than this woman, and I would rather deal with him myself.
"Hello, you are Ms. Sun Ya?" He walked up to me, held out his hand, and asked politely.
"Hello, you." I grinned, and when I touched his hand, a cold and piercing feeling instantly dissipated. Oh my God, his hands look like they just came out of an ice cave.
"I'm really sorry, I decided to go out last night, so I sent you a message, so it's so late, I bothered you." His temples have been dyed white, compared to this woman's heavy makeup, he does look old, but his peaceful smiling face can leave a good impression.
I was a little shy, shook my head, and smiled, "No, no, I hadn't slept yet." ”
The man nodded politely, glanced at the woman beside me, and then asked me, "Has my lover told you anything about work?" ”
"Oh, no problem, I've got the job." I immediately replied that this was my forte, after all.
"Alright then, allow me to introduce you to my child." He took a small step to the left, and I realized that there was a person lying on the bed, a lovely child, with fine skin and tender flesh, about five years old, wearing a black dress, and looking very handsome. But this cuteness and handsomeness is abstract, because it is not a living entity in the real sense, just a wax figure, and the craftsmanship really amazes me.
I smiled kindly, returning from the wax figure to the man, but he had a strange expression, as if he was extremely unhappy with my behavior. "This is my child, you can call him Xiaojun or Ah Jun." He spoke in a low voice, with a solemn expression.
With a smile on my face, I looked at the woman next to me in confusion, she was silent, and then I said to the middle-aged man, "Is it your child?" But, isn't it a wax figure? I thought you were joking with me. This cold joke made the atmosphere around him more and more wrong. Fortunately, I had an idea, and suddenly thought of something, such a wealthy family matter, the situation is special. Maybe their children have died a long time ago, and in order to make their lives comfortable, they will make this decision, and the way of thinking of rich people is completely different from ours. "Actually, I'm sorry, I made a joke." Lowering my head, I embarrassedly explained, "Don't worry, don't worry, leave the child to me, and I will take care of it." ”
I thought I would pay for my reckless behavior, but unexpectedly, he turned his anger into joy, and stepped forward to hold my hand, and instructed, "Thank you so much, then please follow the above process every day." He handed me a piece of parchment with a clause on it, noting a few things.
(8 a.m.: Feed the child, milk and biscuits, pour the milk into a rubber cup, four round biscuits or three square biscuits.)
9 a.m.: Take a walk with your kids around the pool in the backyard, three times clockwise and two times counterclockwise.

12 p.m.: Eat with your child, tie a napkin for him, sit next to you, don't sit facing him, and after lunch, take him back to his room for a nap.
Three o'clock in the afternoon: wake up the child, take him to the toy storage room on the first floor, and play with him until five o'clock.
5:10 p.m.: Take a walk with your child, circle the pool in the backyard four times in a clockwise direction, then return to the rocking chair next to the flower bed in the front yard and play until 6 p.m.
6:10 p.m.: Prepare dinner and mix it with your favorite foods, taking care to be sure to use red spices such as ketchup.

8:30 p.m.: Put him in the bathroom outside the second floor, close the door, and wait half an hour before entering.
9:10 p.m.: Put him to bed, tell him a story, the storybook is on the right side of the bedside table, and accompany him for at least 30 minutes. )
The clearly legible ink was engraved on parchment, and it looked like it had been some years old, and I probably looked through it, and I couldn't help but sigh to myself, it was really well done. Seeing that they were all very serious, I nodded and replied, "Okay, no problem, I will do it." ”
"Great, thank you so much." The middle-aged man tried to hold my hand again and thank him, but I flinched and politely declined, because his hands were too cold. "You can do anything other than that, and you can use everything here."
I accompanied the couple downstairs to the front yard and watched them get into the white car. "You must do what is written on the parchment, and remember not to mess with the time, or to get the direction or position wrong, and you must do it every day." When the man got into the car, he told me again and again.
"Don't worry, I know, I will." I hurriedly replied, mainly in a good mood, feeling that the job was easier than I had imagined, and that a large sum of money could be obtained in the blink of an eye.
"By the way, the power grid here will automatically disconnect after midnight until dawn the next day, nothing happens, don't walk around at night, lest you bump into it." He rolled down the window, and although it was only two meters away, I could only see his head, and the woman seemed to be gone, but it was clearly sitting next to him, perhaps obscured. "The third floor of the house is about the same as the second floor, just a little noisy. Don't go to the fourth floor, because of the site planning, it hasn't been renovated yet. ”
The fourth floor is not renovated? I glanced sideways at the top floor of the manor, where there were curtains in the windows, and if they hadn't been renovated, there should have been nothing. I wondered.
"Ms. Sun Ya? Ms. Sun Ya? ”
"Oh, sorry, I was distracted." I panicked as I explained.
"Did you hear me clearly?" He stared at me blankly, and in an instant, I was a little panicked, and I felt that only one head was writhing in the car window, which seemed very stiff.
"Of course, I see." Staring at the white vehicle, it drove out of the large iron gate, and then closed itself. Hey, why didn't I notice the driver who got on the bus just now, didn't he get out of the car all the time, no, when I came before, I took a special look, and there was no one inside. I wondered, wait, isn't there anyone else in this castle? Babysitting or gardening. Oh my God, it's just me!
A strange wave of doubt haunted me. (To be continued.) )
