Chapter 64: Infiltrating to confuse the public

"Take your time to think about it, don't rush."

Qi Xu supported Chang Shunan from behind to give her a foothold.

While soothing her back, he touched her head to try to relieve her headache.

Chang Shunan fell into her arms and suffered for a long time before his headache was slightly relieved.

"Sister Xu Xu, I remember my grandfather seemed to have put a lot of books in a cabinet that I didn't see."

Chang Shunan endured the discomfort in his head, stood up and groped for the place he remembered.

Qi Xu was afraid that she would fall down due to another headache, so he followed behind her to protect her.

Chang Shunan stumbled all the way into the room, searching here, rummaging there, knocking on the east, and pounding on the west.

“Crack!”

She didn't know what mechanism she touched, but she found a secret door under the bed in the southwest bedroom.

Chang Shunan reached inside and took out several old and yellowed books.

Qi Xu looked down and realized that the book was a Taoist secret.

"An An, it seems this is the book that grandpa left for you to learn skills."

The moment Qi Xu saw the book, she was absolutely certain that her understanding was correct.

"Skills? Learning?"

Chang Shunan hasn't thought normally for a long time, and he's a little slow in understanding what others say.

"Well... this is what grandpa left for you. I'll teach you from now on, okay?"

Chang Shunan tilted his head and took a long time to react. "Sister Xu Xu, please teach me...Okay."

Then, Qi Xu put the book in her hand into the backpack and helped her carry it.

The two did not go directly back to their family compound, but went to the market.

"Little lunatic! Look! It's the little lunatic!"

"Oh my god, could this master have cured the crazy kid?"

"Oh My God!"

Qi Xu and Chang Shunan walked in, and people kept sighing along the way.

After the two of them sat down at the stall, someone boldly came forward to ask.

"Little lunatic, do you still recognize who I am?"

“Aunt Lu, I know her.”

The simple answer made the crowd around sigh.

For many years, they had to avoid the little lunatic because he often had attacks.

There were still a few kind-hearted people who secretly gave food to Chang Shun'an, worried that the child would starve to death. Among them was Aunt Lu.

"Oh, dear child, you still remember me."

Aunt Lu looked relieved and walked up to touch Chang Shunan's short hair.

"Aunt Lu, right? Thank you for taking care of An An. I will waive your fortune-telling fee today. What do you want to be told?"

Qi Xu really wanted to express his gratitude and had already taken out his tortoise shell.

Aunt Lu's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master. My grandson has been crying in the middle of the night lately. No matter how I comfort him, it's useless. He'll be fine after six in the morning."

"I want to figure out what happened to my grandson."

When Qi Xu heard that the tortoise shell didn't need to be used for such a small matter, he started to calculate with his hands.

After a while.

"Aunt Lu, does anyone in your family often come home in the middle of the night?"

"From now on, if anyone in your family comes home in the middle of the night, burn their whole body with fire at the door to get rid of the cold and dirt. Then your grandson won't cry when he gets home."

It only took Qi Xu a few minutes to figure out the real reason.

"Master, your calculations are really accurate. My son often works late shifts, and it seems to be true now. Every time my grandson cries, it's because his father comes home in the middle of the night."

"But, going too far...how can I..."

Aunt Lu was afraid that she had misunderstood, so she asked proactively.

"Do you have a lighter at home? Or you can tie a torch head that burns easily and have your son wave the torch or lighter around his body before he enters the house. Remember to wave it several times for better results."

"If going too far doesn't work, you should be a little more aggressive at home, curse a few times and tell the dirty things to get out, don't scare the children, and that should make things better."

“In the beginning, it’s best to use both methods.”

Qi Xu's explanation was very comprehensive. Aunt Lu was indeed a little skeptical. After thanking him, she nodded and said goodbye, thinking that she would try it out when she got home tonight to see if it would work.

After giving Aunt Lu some advice, someone else wanted to come forward and take part in the calculation, but was beaten to the punch by the "little bully" Zou Yaojie.

Zou Yaojie squeezed through the crowd with a stern face, "Come on, come on, wait until I finish asking the master questions before you come back."

The crowd dispersed with just a few words.

"Master, I've already put up the talisman, but he doesn't seem to take it seriously. He often comes and goes by himself. When I invite him to dinner, he always says he has something to do and won't show up."

Zou Yaojie was a little anxious and didn't know how to express his inner fear, and his words were a little incoherent.

"Please be patient. Think carefully and try again. First, tell me what you think is wrong besides not joining your dinner. Are there any other issues?"

Qi Xu knew that Zou Yaojie was not only unable to keep secrets, but was also always worried about the failure of his seafood industry.

After helping him sort out his thoughts, she found that the person Zou Yaojie was talking about seemed to be a little abnormal.

"Zou Yaojie, I'm not in a position to speak out right now. But since you said he'd often stand next to a bag full of seafood he'd salvaged, shaking his head, I've already made a rough guess."

"My suggestion is that you should transfer this person to another position in the future. Don't let him go out to sea. He can be responsible for loading and unloading at the dock."

"I could sense the talisman you put on me the last time. I guess he discovered it and destroyed it."

Qi Xu boldly guessed that the man must be relying on seafood bought online to absorb evil spirits and resentment in order to improve his own cultivation, or to provide a container for the person behind him.

"Transfer? But... I'm also short of people on my ship, Master."

Zou Yaojie frowned and was a little hesitant.

"If you can't bear to do it now, I won't be responsible if it causes a disaster in the future."

"Listen, listen, listen. I listen to you, Master. I will transfer him to another position."

Qi Xu thought he was quite sensible. "Look, Zou Yaojie, your seafood should have good sales channels. How about I invest in you?"

"Invest? Master, is that really your plan?"

"That would be great!"

"Master, how much money do you want to invest and how much dividend do you want?"

It was the first time for Zou Yaojie to receive investment from someone else, and he was somewhat flattered.

"I'll invest 8,000, which is an auspicious number. At the end of the year, you'll get 60% and I'll get 40%. You're considered a professional. I hope you won't just sell goods, but also open a stall or a store in a fixed location."

"Okay, okay, Master, I'll do as you say."

Zou Yaojie felt that every word she said was for his own good, and he must not let the master down.

"Then it's settled. Go back and write an investment contract, hand over the money, and sign it."

Qi Xu had long guessed that he would react this way, because she had calculated before that even if Zou Yaojie made money, his costs were much higher than his peers, so his entrepreneurial results were somewhat slow.

"Master, it's a deal. I'll go get the contract right away."
