Chapter 19 Heartbeat
She thought he was preparing so much because he was preparing for the rain that had not yet fallen.
When we arrived at his house, we saw five neatly arranged large buckets filled with extremely clear water, giving off a scent of grass and trees.
She knew that it was clearly collected by the morning dew.
"You are really good at this. You can collect 500 liters of morning dew. It takes a lot of manpower."
Bo Hanzhou raised his eyebrows slightly and said proudly, "I specially asked people to go to the mountains to collect them. Don't worry, I will pay for them. I will pay a lot."
Jiang Ci thought about it and it made sense. Nowadays, anything can be accomplished with money.
He had prepared everything she needed.
Five grains, white wine, coarse salt, sandalwood, incense ash, willow branches, rootless water, and Bagua mirror.
Then we have to start cleaning the house.
Jiang Ci instructed him: "First, take the Bagua mirror and hang it in the middle of your front door."
Bo Hanzhou obediently brought a ladder, climbed up and hung up the Bagua mirror, then asked her, "Jiang Jiang, what else do I need to do?"
"Light the sandalwood." Jiang Ci said, "Light it in every room, including the bathroom."
Afterwards, she mixed the grains with coarse salt, poured in white wine, and lit it.
Jiang Ci carried the bowl to the top floor of his house and began to sprinkle coarse grain salt from upstairs to downstairs, indoors to the garden.
"The dirt is cleansed, the evil is exterminated, and I hereby warn all directions, evil spirits stay away."
Bo Hanzhou had a ghost-seeing talisman in his pocket, and he saw that the bloody handprints at home were not as bright red.
It felt like the depressing environment suddenly became half cheerful.
After Jiang Ci finished spreading the seeds, he prepared to get the rootless water.
Bo Hanzhou said very tactfully: "Now it's time to sprinkle water, right? I'll do it."
He happily poured out a small bucket first.
Jiang Ci handed him a willow branch and said, "Just sprinkle the rootless water wherever there is a bloody handprint."
Bo Hanzhou took a willow branch and dipped it into the bucket, then sprinkled it on the ground.
The scarlet bloody handprint melted away instantly, just like oil stains meeting detergent.
He suddenly became excited, holding the poke in his left hand and waving the willow branches with his right hand.
Jiang Ci was not idle either, he took the incense ash and scattered it evenly all over the garden.
Considering that his house was quite large, I painted a landscape painting for him and hung it at the entrance.
After Bo Hanzhou finished his homework and came downstairs, he saw the painting and his handsome face was filled with shock: "Did you draw this Taishan?"
"Well, I just sketched a few strokes casually." Jiang Ci said calmly.
Bo Hanzhou stared at the landscape painting with amazement.
Just a few strokes?
The scenery of Mount Tai is so magnificent that it comes alive on paper.
It is absolutely impossible to draw this without decades of painting experience.
The work she created with her skillful brushstrokes is stunning, with a sea of clouds lingering among the mountains.
The mountains are towering, dotted with lush greenery, and the sun is rising.
Every stroke outlines the grandeur of Mount Tai, showing vividly the towering momentum of Mount Tai.
Although Bo Hanzhou had little interest in art, he could see at a glance her extraordinary painting skills.
He never thought that she had so many skills, and she was proficient in all of them!
Jiang Ci said: "The Taishan painting can protect the house from evil. I have incorporated house-protecting runes into the painting. As long as the painting is not damaged, it can protect the house forever."
"Jiang Jiang, you are so kind. You specially drew such a beautiful picture for me." Bo Hanzhou said as he was about to pay her. "How much is it? I'll buy it!"
Jiang Ci waved his hand: "No need."
"You didn't mention the house-guarding painting before, so this is extra and I have to pay for it!" Bo Hanzhou handed her a check without giving her any time to discuss.
Jiang Ci took a look and saw it was a blank check.
"this?"
Bo Hanzhou said with a surprised look on his face: "Art is priceless. I don't know how much I should give you. You can fill it in yourself. No matter how much you fill in, I think it's a good deal."
He stroked the painting of Taishan carefully, thinking that he should wait to find someone to frame the painting, otherwise it would be a shame if it got dirty!
Jiang Ci smiled and said, "Boss Bo is very generous. He gave me a check with no limit. Would you be happy if I wrote 1 billion?"
"Of course I'm willing to buy your painting for 1 billion." Bo Hanzhou analyzed seriously: "This painting can also protect me and help me guard my home. I think it's worth it."
Jiang Ci smiled and returned the check to him. "I don't want your money. I just want you to show up in time when I need you."
Hearing this sentence makes people feel heart-pounding.
Bo Hanzhou's heart also beat violently, as if something deep in his heart was suddenly touched.
He stared at her, his eyes were hot and gentle, and he nodded firmly: "Okay! As long as Jiang Jiang says a word, I will come to you at the first time, no matter where I am."
Jiang Ci smiled slightly, but it felt like there was something else behind his words.
Bo Hanzhou was indeed a trustworthy man. At this moment, she didn't know that there would be many times in the future when he would try his best to crawl back to see her even if he died for the sake of this promise.
"But you still have to accept the money. At least use it to buy yourself a new phone so that you can use it more conveniently." Bo Hanzhou stuffed another check into her hands.
Jiang Ci shook his head: "Forget it, I think the elderly phone is more practical."
Today’s smartphones expose their location too easily.
She didn't want to reveal her location.
Although elderly mobile phones can also connect to the Internet, their functions are limited. In addition, she added some tricks so no one could find her location.
Bo Hanzhou had no choice but to take back the check. "Then leave it with me first. You can take it back anytime."
I don’t know if it was his illusion.
Sometimes he felt that Jiang Ci was intentionally or unintentionally keeping a distance from others and alienating everyone.
She never takes advantage of others, nor does she owe anyone any favors. She keeps everything very clear.
It was as if there was a barrier around her body, isolating her from everyone outside.
There was a bit more interest in Bo Hanzhou's eyes when he looked at her.
Jiang Jiang is very mysterious. He still can't figure out how she went from a little fool to the master of metaphysics she is today.
This was the second person in his life he wanted to understand.
The first one is King, the person he wants to kill the most.
The second one is her.
Jiang Ci didn't notice the strange look in his eyes, and reminded him: "Some of the furnishings in your home need to be moved. It's a kind of Feng Shui pattern. I have written the details on the sticky note. Just follow it."
"Okay." Bo Hanzhou was just about to say that he would treat her to a big meal.
Jiang Ci raised his foot and walked out.
"Wait for me!" He followed subconsciously.
Jiang Ci turned around and glanced at him, "Anything else?"
The house-purification ceremony has been completed, and his house is now spotless without a single bloody handprint. What else does he want to do?
Bo Hanzhou racked his brains and finally managed to utter a few dry words: "Are you hungry?"
Jiang Ci: “Not hungry.”
Bo Hanzhou's eyes were eager: "Then what do you want to eat?"
Jiang Ci frowned: "?"
"No, what I mean is that it's already noon, should we eat something?" For some reason, Bo Hanzhou wanted to stick to her and would do anything for her.
"No need, you should go and change the layout of your home first." Jiang Ci said and left Villa No. 9 without looking back.
Bo Hanzhou looked at her leaving back, and there was a moment of loss in the depths of his eyes.
