Chapter 6 Settling In

Looking at the three things on the counter, Xia Le raised his head and smiled at Boss Liu.

"Brother Liu, the first time you do business, if you support me, then I won't make any money from you. I took these three things for 4 yuan. ”

Boss Liu was overjoyed.

"It's okay, it's okay! What a kind man! ”

He thought that these things could only be exchanged for 3 yuan, but he didn't expect it to be 4 yuan!

Boss Liu couldn't help but admire.

"Brother is bright! Didn't say it! In the future, brother, I will come to you when I get something good! ”

He took the banknote from Xia Le's hand and grinned.

"Oh, the money bank is open, and my coffin is already gone. Otherwise, when you die, you will become a lonely soul, and it will be too miserable! ”

Boss Liu turned around and strode away from the bank. Behind him, Xia Le said with a smile.

"Brother go slowly!"

Soon, it was as if everyone had made an appointment.

After Boss Liu, a faceless man and a middle-aged woman surnamed Jiang also came to Qianzhuang.

The faceless man took out a jar of ashes, about a pound in weight, and carried it in an urn that looked like a wine jug.

Strange ashes: It has the effect of dispelling the supernatural, worth 3 yuan.

Without saying anything, Xia Le took out a green 3 yuan bill and handed it to the faceless man.

Although he didn't have a face, Xia Le could feel that the faceless person was happy to leave.

The middle-aged woman gave Xia Le a ball of wool and a sewing needle that looked like a thread for knitting, and a layer of red blood that seemed to have just been dyed on it.

Wool made of hair: It has the effect of blocking the supernatural in a short period of time, and is worth 1 yuan.

Blood-stained sewing needle: It has the effect of fixing the supernatural in a short period of time, and is worth 2 yuan.

didn't say anything, Xia Le took out 3 yuan and handed it to the middle-aged woman.

The other party didn't speak, and turned around and left the money village as if Xia Le owed her money.

Xia Le saw that this middle-aged woman didn't mean to target herself, but her personality was like this.

Listening to what she said before, I am afraid that her husband died at a young age, and she had no children, and her fate was not smooth, which led to complaining.

Xia Le shook his head slightly, and put the things he received on the shelves that the beautiful paper man had just cleaned.

The shelves are divided into two levels, with cabinets below and three rows of exhibition compartments above.

It is said to be a shelf, but in fact, this is a Bogu shelf, which has been made into a copper coin-like shape, which means to attract wealth and enter the treasure.

After entertaining Boss Liu, the faceless and the middle-aged woman, the time also came to 11 o'clock in the evening.

It's time to sleep.

Although it is an old street that has been around for many years, the village is also connected to electricity.

Although Xia Le didn't know where the electricity and water came from.

He closed the door of Qian Zhuang and entered the backyard, and as soon as he walked into his room, he was surprised to find that the beautiful paper man who didn't know where he was just now was lying on his bed.

Xia Le was also a young man with strong blood, so he swallowed lightly and asked the beautiful paper man.

"What are you doing here?"

The beautiful paper man opened a pair of innocent eyes and said to Xia Le.

"The slave is warming the master's bed."

As she spoke, her body peeked out of the quilt, and she was wearing nothing inside.

That piece of snow-white Xia Le was stunned on the spot.

This paper figure is so serious!

I love it!

It's not a knife on the head of the color, not to mention that the other party is still a paper man.

Xia Le silently hugged his mother's single self and asked the paper man.

"Do you need to sleep?"

The beautiful paper figure shook her head slightly.

"Slaves are paper figures and don't need to sleep."

With great perseverance, Xia Le gave up some indescribable thoughts and commanded the beautiful paper man.

"Then you get dressed and stand guard at the counter at the door. Also, don't call me master in the future, call me boss. ”

"Yes, boss."

Hearing this, the beautiful paper man obediently got up from Xia Le's bed, and suddenly a mosaic appeared on her.

She got dressed and obediently went to the shop outside to guard as Xia Le ordered.

With a smile on her face, the beautiful paper figure stood behind the counter, her eyes staring straight at the door that had been locked from the inside, like a lifelike puppet.

"If the heart is clear, the sky will not fall! If the heart is clear, the sky will not fall......"

drove away the beautiful paper man, Xia Le silently recited the Bing Xin Jue a few times, lay on the bed and turned on the mobile phone to watch the video, but found that there was no signal here at all.

"Oh no, there's no internet in the ancient street?"

In an instant, Xia Le had a plan to move out.

"No wonder Boss Liu opened the hotel to the new city. In these years, if the hotel doesn't even have the Internet and signal, then who will come to stay! ”

Putting down the phone, Xia Le sighed and simply thought about something else.

It has been more than 30 hours since I woke up in the coffin in the cemetery.

But the day was more exciting than his previous life.

"I was planning to find a job after graduation, but now I'm the boss myself. Also, the matter of cultivating immortals turned out to be true! It's just that this mortality rate is so high that it is frightening, and there are only 3 months left to live, and there is no classification of sword cultivation and danxiu, everyone is all treacherous cultivation, and there is no choice at all. ”

Holding the black screen of the mobile phone as a mirror, Xia Le looked at his beautiful face of the 5-year-old Shengshi, which was suddenly old, and it was a heartache.

Directly from a small fresh meat to an uncle!

When he was about to sleep, he habitually wanted to take off the clothes on his body, but suddenly remembered what Luo Lao had told him before.

"Don't take this dress off casually, even when you're sleeping."

Xia Le remembered this sentence and simply slept with his clothes.

Just think of it as pajamas.

Half an hour later, Xia Le, who was really tired, soon fell asleep.

After another two hours, the pattern of the copper coin on his arm slowly changed.

These copper coin patterns spread out like danqing, and finally formed a human face.

The human face turned around Xia Le's arm, and he turned his head to drill deeper.

But when this person's face touched the shroud on the back of Xia Le's hand, it was blocked, and it could only be attached to the sleeve of the shroud.

In Qianzhuang's shop, the beautiful paper figure seemed to suddenly sense something, turned her head more than 120 degrees, and looked at Xia Le's sleeping place through several layers of walls.

The smile on her face seemed to become a little prettier.

As time passed, the sky grew darker and brighter.

The copper coin face did not break through the shackles of the shroud for a night, and in the end it only formed many folds on the sleeves of the shroud.

When Xia Le opened his eyes, the face quickly dissipated, and it changed back to its original copper coin pattern again.

"Ah~"

After getting up early, Xia Le stretched a big lazy waist.

But at this time, he felt a little sore in his arm, as if he had done some heavy work.

"What's going on? Didn't sleep in the right position last night? ”

Xia Le pressed his arm, didn't think much about it, got up to wash his face and brush his teeth.

When he came to the shop in the outer hall, he looked at the beautiful paper figure who had stood here for a night, but there were no dark circles and bags under her eyes, and she was still young and beautiful, and she was charming, and commanded her.

"I'll go out for a meal and let them wait in the store if they come in."

"Yes, boss."

The beautiful paper figure smiled and nodded at Xia Le.

I can see the beauties of my family early in the morning, and Xia Le's mental state is quite good.

He walked out of the ancient street and came to the new district of the ancient town outside, snorted a bowl of noodles, showed off a basket of xiaolongbao, patted his belly and returned to Qianzhuang.

"I still have money in my hand, but I don't have much cash, only 10,000 yuan left. It's not okay to sit back and eat, you have to get some money. ”

As he passed by, Xia Le looked left and right.

This old street looks like it has been abandoned for a long time, and most of the shops are closed.

In addition to money shops, coffin shops, ancestral halls, tailor shops, paper tie shops, mask stalls, there are also Chinese medicine shops, restaurants, jewelry stores, grocery stores, funeral supplies stores and so on.

It is foreseeable how lively this old street was in the heyday of Taiping Town.

How many immortal cultivators have come back here to gather and chat, and communicate with each other.

But now it's just quiet and desolate, and even if it's open, there are several stores that don't even have people, and they don't know what is open.

Back at the money house, Xia Le sat down at the counter again and asked the beautiful paper man to clean up.

The house has not been inhabited for decades, and the sanitation cannot be cleaned in a day or two.

Yesterday, the beautiful paper man only cleaned the master bedroom and the shop outside.

Although it had been expected for a long time, Xia Le did not meet half of the customers for a whole morning.

Although there are also ordinary people who strayed into the old street, they have neither tricks nor tricks on them, so they come in and walk around and leave.

At lunchtime, Xia Le asked the beautiful paper man to look at the store and ran to the ancient town and new district outside to find Boss Liu.

Boss Liu had previously said where his hotel was.

Along the way, Xia Le, who was wearing a shopkeeper's clothes, attracted the attention of many people, and some people ran over to take pictures with him.

Everyone thought he was dressed like this to solicit customers.

But Charle refused.

He had heard Luo Lao say that the paintings, mirrors, and photos of these years are not credible, so don't leave such traces if you have nothing to do.

Walking into the hotel, Boss Liu thought that there was a guest at first.

But as soon as he saw that it was Xia Le, he immediately stood up from his position and smiled enthusiastically at Xia Le.

"Here we are, man. Sit, have a cup of tea, and eat some melon seeds. ”

"Thanks, brother."

Xia Le was not polite, sat down on the sofa on Boss Liu's side, and explained his intentions to him.

"Brother, I want to ask if there is a rented house in the town? There is not even a signal in the bank, and I can't make a phone call or surf the Internet. ”

There is a signal in other parts of Taiping Town, but that old street is more seriously affected by the supernatural and interferes with the signal.

Boss Liu heard Xia Le say this, and immediately smiled.

"Yes, brother, you are still young, and you can't stand the quiet loneliness on the old street. No problem, it's on my brother. ”

The two knocked melon seeds for a while, and then went to have a meal and drank some beer, and the relationship suddenly became much closer.

For the next few days, Charle's business was not completed.

However, Boss Liu helped him find a place to rent a house, Xia Le had already moved over, and let the beautiful paper man watch in the store at night.

There are not many things in the store, and Xia Le is packed in a bag, which is convenient to carry with you to and from work.

However, after paying the rent and deposit, Xia Le really didn't have much money in his hands.

He was previously an orphan and was raised at a very young age by a pair of teachers who could not have children.

When he was in college, his adoptive parents died, leaving him with a deposit of more than 100,000 yuan and a house in the sea market.

But art students are very expensive. Not only the tuition fee, but also the cost of paintbrushes, paints, paper, etc.

It doesn't seem like much, but it often needs to be replenished.

So after four years of college, Xia Le didn't have much money in his hands, and now he was even more completely explained.

The house in Dahai City is where Xia Le's memories lie, and it will not be sold anyway.

Xia Le pondered.

"So I'm going to find a way to sell these things to people who know how to do it, and I won't charge tricks this time."

It just so happened that Luo Lao contacted him.

"I went to find Xiao Qin, who is now working at Interpol Asia Headquarters. You go to Dajing City and take over the position of head of Zhongzhou City, the Asian headquarters of Interpol. Let Xiao Qin see if there is a way to help you. ”

So, Xia Le borrowed 10,000 yuan from Boss Liu and prepared to go to Dajing City.

Boss Liu is very refreshing.

"What does this money mean to us? Don't say anything about borrowing, you just take it and use it. ”

When Xia Le had just come out of the airport in Dajing City, someone immediately contacted him.

Even in the face of Xia Le's "strange costume", the other party did not show any strange expression, but said to Xia Le with a smile.

"Hello, is this Mr. Xia? I am an escort at Interpol Asia Headquarters. Because the base inspection is very strict, we will send a special car to send you there. ”

"Okay, no problem."

Xia Le shook hands with the other party, walked out of the airport and got into a special car with a special license plate.

In the car, Xia Le smelled a smell of sandalwood, which was very good.

Xia Le had been playing with his mobile phone while the vehicle was driving, but he could also see that the car was getting more and more remote and ran to a suburb.

In the process, the vehicle passed through several heavily armed sentry posts.

This kind of sentry can only be possessed by one force in this country, which makes Xia Le feel very surprised.

Before, he had always felt that he was a loose cultivator of a small sect, but now it seems that this is not the case!

When the vehicle drove another way, Xia Le found that his mobile phone signal was gone.

It may be a place like a military base, where there is no signal and it is not shown on the map.

At the door of a building, as soon as Xia Le got out of the car, a beautiful woman wearing a suit-style professional attire, stepping on black high heels, and carrying a Jiangnan water town flavor greeted her.

"Hello, is this Mr. Xia? My name is Su Rou. If you succeed in taking over the position of the head of Zhongzhou City, I will be your operator at the headquarters. ”

"Hello, I'm Xia Le."

Shaking hands with the other party, Xia Le asked Su Rou curiously.

"What is the position of the person in charge? What exactly are those things to do? ”

Hearing Xia Le ask this, Su Rou had a strange expression on her face.

He is about to take over as the person in charge of Zhongzhou City, but he doesn't know what the person in charge does?

Xia Le would be very aggrieved if he knew.

He originally wanted to ask Luo Lao what the person in charge did, but Luo Lao just said that he would know when he went to the Dajing City headquarters.

It's like a junior high school math teacher who says this theorem will be taught in high school, but the high school math teacher says that you should have learned this theorem in junior high school!
