After graduating from university, Lu Cijiu passed the civil service exam and became the head of an orphanage. The orphanage was old, dilapidated, run-down, and poor, housing four snot-nosed little ...
I don’t know what day it is today, but the shelter is flooded with guests.
Finally, it was Saturday, Gong Xichao's day off. The night before, Sang Jinghong had discussed with Lu Cijiu the idea of taking the four tails to the amusement park. Lu Cijiu had initially suggested they go together, believing it would be quite lively, as Gong Xichao happened to be home on holiday.
Little did they know Gong Xichao would be the first to agree, telling Sang Jinghong to be polite and to take the kids out for a good time, even if it got dark. Lu Cijiu, who was standing nearby, said: ...
Don't think he doesn't know what Gong Xichao is thinking.
Zhou Cheng hasn't come back yet, and once Sang Jinghong takes the kids away, it means that on Friday, it will be just him and Gong Xichao in the courtyard.
Lu Cijiu felt a bit awkward and nervous, though he didn't know why. Gong Xichao also said, "Let that vixen go with you."
It's about Hu Sanniang.
"Do you want Dabang to follow?" Lu Cijiu asked deliberately. It was so obvious that he was chasing people away.
Who knew Gong Xichao said generously: "No, he is just a cute and beautiful little fish."
Lu Cijiu: ...continue to suspect that Dabang is Gong Xichao’s biological son x3.
The kids were really happy hanging out with Tail Daddy. They weren't shy at all, especially because of his appearance—a big tail! Hu Sanniang also tagged along so she could look after the kids along the way.
Dudu is a girl, so it is more convenient for her to go to the bathroom.
Sang Jinghong also had a driver, assistant, bodyguard, etc., saying that he was taking the kids out to play alone. Lu Cijiu saw that they were going out in three SUVs.
Big Tail is really rich. Lu Cijiu was envious for a second. Turning around, he saw Gong Xichao looking at him happily from behind. He was not hiding his feelings at all. Just now, when Sang Jinghong was around, he was still acting so cool and aloof.
Lu Bijiu: ...
"Boss Diao, please exercise some restraint."
Whoever can still be embarrassed towards Gong Xichao after being rejected for his secret crush will be the winner.
Gong Xichao said, "You call me Boss Diao again, and I've already told you I'm from Kunpeng." There wasn't a trace of unhappiness on his face.
Lu Cijiu: "Yes, yes, Brother Diao, what should we do today?"
"Let's go on a date, Lu Cijiu." Gong Xichao didn't correct him. It didn't matter. There were no outsiders around anyway. He said happily, "Go ahead. I finally have a day off, and I don't have those four kids acting like a light bulb. Let's go and have fun. Do you want to go to the island? I'll fly you there."
The road bids farewell to the old shameful heart.
The weather in Yuncheng is starting to get cold. Although we have turned on the electric heater, it is still not as warm and comfortable as on the island. We can also step on the waves. It can be regarded as a day trip, mainly to save on air tickets.
After all the calculation, there are only advantages and no disadvantages.
Lu Cijiu was about to agree when his cell phone rang. He said, “Wait a minute, I’ll take a call first.”
The call was from Lin Zhenguo and Wu Gao, both VIP clients, who said it was inconvenient for them to visit him today and that they had something to consult. Since they had asked, Lu Cijiu said yes.
When I looked up, Gong Xichao had a cold face and was in a bad mood.
"Lu Cijiu, don't you like me?"
Isn't that the truth? But Lu Cijiu felt that Gong Xichao was very unhappy, so he suggested, "Why don't we wait for them to arrive and finish their business, and then go out and have fun?"
"Okay then." Gong Xichao seemed to agree reluctantly.
Lu Cijiu: If you have the ability, then don't smile, that's what the word "barely" means.
After a short wait, Lin Zhenguo and Wu Gao, father and son, arrived. Lu Cijiu, of course, had to give face to his VIP customers, but Gong Xichao had been very cold since the two of them entered the room.
Lin Zhenguo and Wu Gao were also used to the indifference of the palace assistants, so they greeted them politely.
Lu bid farewell to the old man and invited the guests to sit in the yard and drink tea.
"Wu Quan has lost weight." Lu Cijiu said politely.
Wu Gao: "Master Lu, have you forgotten? Sansheng changed his name to Wu Sansheng. I listen to you and reflect on myself every day. Now I have made progress in my studies, stopped staying up late at bars and drinking, and have regular meals. I have gradually lost weight. This is all thanks to you, Master Lu. I brought Sansheng here today to fulfill my vow. Oh, I mean, I came to visit you."
There were so many flaws in this sentence that Lu Cijiu didn't know how to complain. He just kept his promise. He could only smile and say, "You look like you have the spirit of a young man, and your face looks more upright."
The first time I saw him, Wu Sansheng was haunted by a female ghost, his luck was down, and his face looked terrible, like a dandy and greasy person. They say that the face reflects the heart, and this is not false. At that time, Wu Sansheng did not look like a high school student at all.
He was 5'8", fat, and greasy. Not only had he lost weight, but his eyes were clearer, no longer cloudy. Wu Sansheng now showed that he truly recognized his mistakes and needed to improve.
"Thank you, Master. This is all thanks to you." Wu Gao complimented him.
Lu Cijiu said, "I just saved him once. His change is due to you and his own efforts. By the way, have you and your son ever done any good deeds?"
"I plan to take him there during the winter vacation. We have already arranged to live in a poor village for a month. Master Lu, don't worry. I was busy with work before and seldom visited Sansheng. Later, after that incident, although it almost cost him his life, I really learned a lot. My son is actually not a bad person by nature, and he can listen to what I say..." Wu Gaohao, like a good father, praised his son.
Wu Sansheng felt a little embarrassed. He'd been enjoying himself before, eating, drinking, and having fun, but that happiness was short-lived. He'd been happy while hanging out at a bar and getting flattered by his younger friends, but after a while, the cycle wore on. Then he got hooked on racing, seeking the thrill.
He knew his father was rich and that as long as he didn't cross the line, murder or drug abuse, he could get away with it. So he slowly fell into indulgence, but he didn't realize that as this idea deepened, his bottom line began to lower.
It was at this time that he was entangled by the female ghost sent by Wang Jiaxing, and was on the verge of life and death, and had to stop at the brink.
"Thank you, Master Lu." Wu Sansheng said sincerely.
Lu Cijiu glanced at the father and son, letting them hand him his hand. After reading it, his expression was serious: "Mr. Wu, I'm not trying to scare you and your son. What I saw is that you and your son will both face an irreversible situation if you make a single mistake. If you make the right choice, you will live in prosperity and well-being from now on. If you make the wrong choice, the Wu family will be wiped out, and you will be imprisoned and have a miserable end."
Wu Gao immediately remembered that his visit hadn't been in vain, and quickly offered a red envelope. Lu Cijiu took it without much scrutiny, intending to donate the fortune-telling money. These father and son were both good and evil, and he had encountered them. Since Wu Sansheng had already changed, Lu Cijiu didn't want to waste his efforts, so he said more.
"Master Lu, please help me take a look at my son Lin Xuan." Lin Zhenguo was anxious.
Lu Cijiu said: "Lin Xuan is fine, it was a close call, don't worry."
So when Lin Xuan wanted to find Xin Zhou, Lu Cijiu didn't say much.
When Lin Zhenguo heard this, he felt relieved. As long as he was okay, it was good. He was just frightened. It was normal for a boy to suffer a little. It was his fault for taking the initiative to take care of the Xin family's affairs.
The two men put their minds at ease and did not disturb Master Lu, mainly because Mr. Gong was staring at them with a cold face, as if he was extremely unwelcome to them. They asked for a few more talismans. Lin Zhenguo asked for a peach blossom talisman for his daughter Lin Wan, and Wu Gao asked for a study talisman for his son.
After begging, he left.
Gong Xichao performed a one-second face change for Lu Cijiu on the spot.
Lu Bijiu: ...
"Okay, I'll pack my bag and we'll go out." It's not even eleven o'clock yet, so we'll still make it.
"Okay, I'll wait for you in the yard."
Lu Cijiu went in and washed his hands, then changed his home clothes into a thin down jacket with a short-sleeved shirt underneath. He heard that the temperature on the island was 27 or 28 degrees Celsius, so if he got hot while carrying his schoolbag, he could stuff some clothes in.
Everything was ready. Lu Cijiu changed his shoes and heard the gate of the yard slam shut.
When he came out and saw Gong Xichao in the yard, he said, "What's wrong? I think I heard the sound of the door."
"It's the wind blowing again." Gong Xichao had a sour face.
Completely lying with open eyes.
Then a weak voice sounded outside the door: "Brother Lu, it's me, Dou Qinglan. Am I going to die soon?"
"You'll be gone if you come in!" Gong Xichao said viciously.
Outside the door: ...no sound.
Lu Bijiu: ...
After two or three seconds, there was another knock on the door. As Lu Cijiu walked, he thought to himself, Dou Qinglan has become really bold. Gong Xichao dared to knock on the door despite threatening him like that.
As expected, Gong Xichao's face became even darker.
Lu Cijiu said: "Don't be angry, if something happens to Xiaodou, it's still early, there's still time."
Gong Xichao was still very unhappy and went to open the door coldly, looking like he was going to cut Dou Qinglan. Lu Cijiu didn't dare to do that and opened the door himself. To his surprise, there was not only Dou Qinglan outside the door, but also someone he knew, uh, a familiar ghost.
When Dou Qinglan heard the door open, he hid behind the ghost, showing half of his head and said, "Brother Gong, it wasn't me who knocked on the door, it was him."
Where's your brother from the underworld? He's selling out so quickly. Lu Cijiu was amused.
The ghost who came was Wu Chang, the official from the underworld whom I had met several times before. He was wearing a black suit and said, "I knocked on the door."
"It's him, it's him, my dear elder brother." Dou Qinglan nodded while hiding behind.
Lu Cijiu said: "Come in first."
This Mr. Wuchang didn't need to knock politely; he could just come in. Knocking showed respect for them, and more accurately, it was to give face to Gong Xichao. Lu Cijiu dealt with ghosts and had never thought of getting involved with the underworld Wuchang before. Of course, he had never thought that he would meet a general or a business tycoon.
Anyway, I've seen a lot, so just keep calm.
Dou Qinglan walked in with a backpack on his back. Everyone was chatting in the yard. Dou Qinglan said pitifully, "Brother Lu, is there anything to eat? I didn't eat anything this morning and I'm starving."
"Go to the kitchen and see, there are omelets in the refrigerator. You can heat them up in the microwave." Lu Cijiu said.
Dou Qinglan, familiar with the place, put down his bag and went to heat up the omelet. Within two minutes, he returned with a plate, his mouth full and savoring the delicious food, when he heard his elder brother from the underworld say, "...I have something I'd like to ask, Mr. Lu. Do you remember the female ghost who caused trouble in the Forbidden City?"
Very impressive.
"That high school girl ghost, remember, what happened?"
The female ghost caught in the Forbidden City had an ordinary appearance, but had the youthful vigor of a young girl. It was obvious that she was not very old. Later, it took some time to find out that the female ghost was a senior high school student who was under too much pressure. Time-travel TV dramas were particularly popular at that time. The female ghost was obsessed with time-travel palace fighting. Coupled with her family's genetic mental illness, she escaped from reality and came to the Forbidden City after committing suicide, imagining herself as the emperor's favorite concubine.
Anyway, I always live in my own world.
After Lu Cijiu found out, he performed a ritual to liberate the female ghost according to her birth date and horoscope. The obsession disappeared, and the ghost became sober and rational. Later, she was sent to the underworld to queue for reincarnation.
She also helped to take care of things. The female ghost had never killed anyone.
"She has been reported and recorded, and is waiting in line for reincarnation. Now her soul has disappeared." Wuchang said.
Lu Cijiu frowned, "Did she run up there on her own, or was she captured? Who has such long arms? Are you saying her soul was scattered?"
"Yes, in fact, there were a few more before, all of them were female ghosts with very deep obsessions. We are screening them again, but we haven't found any clues yet. The things behind them should be hidden in the world of the living, so please help keep an eye on them, Mr. Lu." Wuchang said.
Cooperating with the law enforcers of the underworld is also a form of police-civilian cooperation. Lu Cijiu naturally agreed and asked if he could leak the information. After being told not to spread it widely, he edited it and posted it in the WeChat group of the Kyoto family.
These people are all masters of Kyoto, their character is very reliable and trustworthy, and they know the seriousness of the matter. Especially since the high school girl ghost is from Kyoto, Lu Cijiu suspects that the thing is hidden in Kyoto?
Something that comes easily.
Wu Chang finished speaking and was about to leave. Dou Qinglan was chewing on a piece of bread when he saw Brother Gong staring at him unkindly. He immediately said, "Brother Hei, if you're okay, please stay a little longer. I'm scared."
"?"
Lu Cijiu saw the question mark on Wuchang’s head. Dou Qinglan was really stupid and bold. You are afraid of Gong Xichao, but you are not afraid of Wuchang?
"It's not very busy." Wuchang left his footsteps.
Lu Cijiu:?! You really stayed?
Gong Xichao was furious, with a stiff face, and said, "Lu Cijiu, let's go play and let Green Arrow and this ghost play here by themselves!"
"..." Lu Cijiu: "No, it's not good. Guests are welcome. It's noon now, time to eat. How about we go in the afternoon? What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you. Make your favorite food."
Gong Xichao agreed reluctantly.
Impermanence is a ghost that does not need food. Lu Cijiu temporarily lit incense and burned some gold ingots. It is not empty talk that money can make ghosts work. Anyway, it is normal to bribe the ghost messengers in the underworld.
As soon as the burning was finished, Wuchang had golden ingots in his hands.
Dou Qinglan looked at him in surprise, picking at the noodles in the bowl, and asked after finishing the ones in his mouth: "Can this really be spent at the bottom?"
"Yes, the quality is very good, better than printed banknotes." Wuchang replied.
Dou Qinglan looked excited about gaining knowledge and wanting to put it into practice.
Lu Cijiu didn't know what to say. After Dou Qinglan finished his meal, Wuchang finished inhaling the incense, took the gold ingot, and politely left. Dou Qinglan waved goodbye with his paw, then took the bowl to wash.
"Why did you come here today?"
Dou Qinglan said, "I just came back from work and wanted to water my Dabai on the way. I'll stay here for one night and go back tomorrow."
Dabai is the cabbage grown by Dou Qinglan himself.
Gong Xichao said coldly, "Eat it."
"Brother Lu!" Dou Qinglan looked at Brother Lu in disbelief, as if his beloved pet had died.
Lu Cijiu said: "I haven't eaten yet. I'm in the corner. I'm almost old. If you hadn't come, I would have eaten it. How about this, I'll make you some hot and sour cabbage tomorrow. You can eat it before you go on your way."
"..." Dou Qinglan scratched his head, "Brother Lu, what you said sounds weird."
Lu Cijiu said angrily, "You still find it strange that you just had the audacity to call Wuchang your brother and even talked about the expenses down there. Why are you telling Dou Qingdian that when you're on the road, you can burn gold ingots instead of paper money for you."
"Brother Lu, how did you know? This is very important. I really want to write this in my will. What if I die in an accident and no one burns gold ingots for me? The printed paper money can't be used. How pitiful I will be." Dou Qinglan cried out and said with a twisted logic: "It's not like I'm gone just like that. This is all superstition. I haven't been blessed by my mouth. On the contrary, the gold ingots below are useful. It's an objective fact."
Lu Cijiu: ...Dou Qingdian didn’t beat his younger brother to death, he is his biological elder brother.
"Does your brother have high blood pressure?"
"I'm a little high when I go back, hehe." Dou Qinglan knew that Lu Ge was joking.
The two chatted for a while, and Gong Xichao squinted at Dou Qinglan with a cold and murderous look. He then looked at Lu Cijiu with a resentful look as if he was staring at a scumbag.
The scumbag said, "Gong Xichao and I are going out to play, you stay at home and watch the house."
The way she looked at the scumbag immediately changed to the way she looked at her beloved baby.
Lu Dabaobei: ...I can’t stand it anymore.
Retreat quickly.
It was almost two o'clock when the two of them left home, having wasted the entire morning. Gong Xichao had been looking forward to going out to play since he sent Zizi out, but Lu Cijiu felt that going to an island was not an option for him, as he had never been there before and wouldn't know where to go. So he cautiously suggested, "How about we go to the movies? Or go to the city?"
He thought Gong Xichao would be unhappy.
"OK."
It was so wonderful, the joy jumped out of my voice and face.
Lu Cijiu was puzzled, and Gong Xichao said happily with a sense of superiority: "You don't understand because you have never been in love."
You've talked about it before, so you know it very well. Who are you looking down on?
The two of them teleported to the city, found a shopping mall and went straight to the cinema. The Spring Festival had not arrived yet, and all the good movies were waiting to be released during the Spring Festival. There were not many good movies in the cinema now, and the titles of the movies were obviously bad.
Such as "Passionate Love between Urban Men and Women", "Zombie Tide" and so on.
The pictorials were all very vulgar and erotic. Lu Cijiu didn't like that kind very much. After picking for a while, he thought about not reading them. But then Gong Xichao said he wanted to read "Hospital Strange Stories".
It's a horror movie. And it's a Chinese movie.
As we all know, the horror films that are released in China are not scary at all. There are no ghosts. They are either dreams, hallucinations of mental patients taking drugs, or artificial ghosts. But this movie pictorial is very simple and the timing is also very suitable, so you don’t have to wait too long.
Just think of it as accompanying Gong Xichao to play.
Lu Cijiu saw that the ticket price was not expensive, and the group purchase only cost 19.9 yuan. Just as he was about to place the order, Gong Xichao lowered his head and said lightly, "Let's buy the couple's VIP seat."
You're really carrying your own agenda.
Lu Cijiu looked up and saw Gong Xichao calmly looking away, though his ears were a little red. Somehow, for some unknown reason, Lu Cijiu agreed, "Okay."
The VIP double seat is bundled with the couple's seat, totaling sixty-six, and comes with popcorn and a drink, which is actually quite a good deal. The single seat doesn't come with anything. Lu Cijiu consoled himself in this way.
As soon as he entered the cinema, there were already people sitting here and there. Most of them were couples, and there were also girlfriends who came to watch the movie. Lu Cijiu saw them and thought that the fact that they were a couple, a couple of big men, didn't mean anything.
Sit down with confidence.
The couple's seat is a leather sofa where two people can lean on each other without any obstruction in between.
Soon the movie started. The opening credits were dark and the music was eerie and scary.
Lu Cijiu heard a girl behind him whispering that she was scared and that the Internet said this was scary. I said I didn’t want to see it anymore. Her boyfriend said, don’t be afraid, I will hold you in a while, I want to see you accompany me.
It's all a routine. Lu Dandan snorted in his heart.
Gong Xichao leaned over and said, "Lu Cijiu, if you're scared, you can hold me."
When was I scared? Lu Cijiu wanted to ask, but suddenly remembered that when Gong Xichao first came, they shared a room and a bed. In order to avoid sleeping under the bed, he said he was timid and afraid of the dark.
"Don't be afraid." Gong Xichao quietly stretched out his hand.
Lu Bijiu: ...
He stuffed the popcorn into Gong Xichao's hand and said, "Eat it."
Gong Xichao was disappointed: "Oh."
"Hospital Tales" follows a well-structured plot, with a clear main plot. It begins with a story about a mental hospital that burned down thirty years ago, killing over a hundred people and leaving it abandoned. The film then shifts to the present day, where a group of men and women embark on a road trip and adventure, arriving at the abandoned hospital.
Lu Cijiu could guess the plot with his feet, and he was not afraid at all, and his heart was as calm as water.
But the film has a good soundtrack and the camera is flashing, creating a good horror atmosphere. The girls on the left and right of the couple whispered that they were scared, and there was also a man's voice saying that he was scared, but his girlfriend hugged him and told him not to be afraid.
Lu Cijiu looked at it curiously, and Gong Xichao snorted in dissatisfaction.
"I'm scared too."
Lu Cijiu: ...your voice is not like that.
After the scary scenes, hot jungle scenes started to appear. The girls in the lead roles were not big stars, and Lu Cijiu didn't know any of them. However, they were good-looking, some innocent and some charming. This scene was about a charming girl seducing the innocent heroine's rich second-generation boyfriend, and the two of them were playing jungle in the grass.
Lu Cijiu blindly guessed that a ghost would appear behind.
The charming girl took off her coat. It was clearly night time, and the lights were so bright. Her full breasts—well, there were two hands in front of her. Gong Xichao's voice was in his ear, a bit bit gnashing his teeth: "You're still looking!"
“…Then you look at it again.” Lu Cijiu turned his head.
Who knew Gong Xichao was looking away from the screen, instead looking at him again. The two of them were so close, their breaths mingling, it must have been a passionate scene. Lu Cijiu heard the sound of kissing, and perhaps due to the environment, he felt a little embarrassed, awkward, and a little hot.
Gong Xichao felt Lu Cijiu's embarrassment and didn't know what to do for a moment.
I felt at a loss.
"Ah ...!" A young man in the back row screamed.
They are the couple who said the boy was very scared and his girlfriend said, "Don't be afraid, I'll hug you."
Lu Cijiu didn't know whether other people were affected or not. He was very grateful to the young man for speaking up. He was feeling awkward and the atmosphere was getting weirder. When he was called by the young man, he naturally turned around to look.
The boy took his girlfriend's hand and said, "There really is a ghost. The face of the girl named Zi Han has changed. Did you see it?"
Zi Han is the charming female supporting role.
"No." The girlfriend hugged her boyfriend and said, "You're seeing things. It's probably the lighting. Don't be scared."
"No, she has really changed. She is still looking at me." The boyfriend was trembling with fear.
Seeing Lu Cijiu looking over, they both apologized. His girlfriend whispered, "Really? Don't scare yourself. I have a blanket in my bag. You can sleep on it. It has good reviews online. Consider it company."
Or maybe he really saw it wrongly. The boyfriend covered himself with his girlfriend's blanket, which warmed him up and dispelled the cold.
Lu Cijiu turned back and looked at the movie screen. The light was too dim, and he couldn't sense the foul aura. So he whispered to Gong Xichao beside him, "What did you see from this Zihan?"
"I didn't even look at it." Gong Xichao said firmly, and then said: "Lu Cijiu, you are not allowed to like that big thing either. You are not allowed to look at it."
Lu Cijiu: ...Who asked you to look at this?
You should block out all girls with big breasts by mosaics.
"What's big?" Lu Cijiu asked knowing the answer.
Gong Xichao was embarrassed for a second, but quickly reacted and said, "You can only like the big one, Jiji."
???!!!!!!
"Gong Xichao, what on earth are you looking at every day?" Huanlu Cijiu retorted.
