On a drizzling rainy day, a slowly walking woman wearing a dark brown skirt as thin as gauze appeared at the door of the store, looking a little dejected.
She was soaked by the rain, her skirt stuck to her legs, her eyes were covered with a piece of silk, her lips were slightly red, and she knocked on the glass door with her fingertips covered in mud.
Gu Huaiwei felt hot and humid in her dream, surrounded by a suffocating tropical rainforest that smelled of rotten leaves.
It was dark outside and she was camping alone in the depths of the rainforest. Heavy rain pounded against the tent, accompanied by loud thunder.
In her dream, she opened her eyes and saw that the tent cloth above her head was pressed down, and rain was sliding down the outer wall of the tent, forming a blurry curtain of water.
She crawled to the zipper of the tent and pulled a gap. The wind and rain blurred her eyes and she saw a giant snail lying on her tent, moving slowly, its sticky and soft tentacles extending inside along the zipper of the tent.
The sticky liquid almost dripped onto her face.
At this time, a white crane with a snow-white body emerged from the woods, spread its wings, raised its elegant neck, and chirped twice beside the snail. The snail was frightened and crawled into its shell, turning from a giant snail into a small snail.
The white crane pecked at the snail shell, placed the snail in Gu Huaiwei's palm, and flew away with its wings.
There was another burst of thunder.
Gu Huaiwei only felt her heart pounding, and then woke up from her sleep.
She heard a knock on the door outside the nursing home.
Who comes back and knocks on the door in the middle of the night?
Gray Fog Town is a dead city. There are no people on the streets during the day, let alone customers coming at night.
Gu Huaiwei put on her slippers and coat with doubts, her fluffy hair hanging on her shoulders. She came to the hall yawning.
It was cloudy and rainy outside, and Gu Huaiwei seemed to smell the scent of rotten leaves from the rainforest in her dream again.
She unlocked the door and the cold wind rushed in, making her shiver and wrap her clothes tighter around her.
"Who are you?" she asked, looking at the woman in front of her.
The damp woman handed over an application for employment: "Boss Zhou asked me to come."
It seems that a new assistant has arrived.
Gu Huaiwei took the job application and said, "It's raining heavily outside, come in."
He Xueyi appeared in the lobby of the sanatorium at some point in time. He held a dry bath towel in his hand and threw it to the wet woman.
"Mrs. Snail, you're late again."
"Thank you. I should have arrived this afternoon, but it was rainy and muddy, so I was delayed a bit." A guilty look appeared on the woman's face. She spoke in an unusually slow voice, and when she wiped the water, it was also very lukewarm, like a pot of half-boiled water.
Gu Huaiwei looked down at the name on the job application form: Mulan Wo.
"Manager, please give me some advice." Mulan Snail smiled at Gu Huaiwei, and the two brown snail shells hanging on her ears swayed.
Silk covered her almost blind eyes, and the world she saw was different from that of ordinary people.
She can't see the surface.
Only the colors of the soul can be seen.
He Xueyi and Mulanwo seemed to know each other. He treated her very friendly. After Mulanwo entered the store, while Gu Huaiwei helped her with the entry procedures, the two of them stood by, lowered their heads, and talked in a low voice.
Lin She came out and glanced at him coldly. He seemed to be born to be more introverted. Gu Huaiwei didn't know the ecology of the paradise, but she could feel that Lin She had a bad relationship with anyone in the paradise.
Bai Meimei also ran to the front desk in the lobby, peeking out from behind the cabinet, then looked up and asked Gu Huaiwei, "Sister Gu, can you please not let her live in the staff dormitory?"
"Why?"
"I'm already sleeping in the hall. It will be really crowded with one more person." Bai Meimei's eyes flickered. She would hook her fingers when she lied, and she was so guilty that she kept making small movements.
It wasn't because it was crowded, but because each of them had different habits.
Magnolia snails prefer humid environments.
If they were allowed to live together, the whole room would be filled with slime and moisture, and mold would grow in the gaps between the wooden boards. What Bai Meemie could not tolerate the most was that her hair would be difficult to keep dry.
"Sister Gu, please." Bai Meimei still has the mind of a child.
With the arrival of a new assistant, the sanatorium simply did not have enough staff dormitories. Bai Meimei had already set up a bed in the living room of the staff dormitory, and Wo Niang's accommodation became a problem again.
"Just make do for now, I'll figure something out."
Because there were new people in the sanatorium, Gu Huaiwei prepared to take the new people out for a period of time when she was doing the invitation task.
She informed Mulanwo to go out the next day.
But Mulanwo was extremely slow in replying to messages. She had a very mild and slow personality. The advantage was that she had no temper when dealing with difficult customers. The disadvantage was, of course, that Gu Huaiwei would have to wait for her until she was getting anxious to death.
He Xueyi saw Gu Huaiwei staring at her watch, her fingers tapping the table impatiently. She smiled and reminded him, "Ms. Manager, Snail is more suitable to stay in the store and do some detailed and boring work. She is not good at going out. I suggest you find someone else."
"Your turn?"
He Xueyi looked embarrassed: "Ms. Manager, there are customers waiting for me in the flower room."
Gu Huaiwei knew he was unreliable, so she made another explanation: "I saw a pile of old accounts in the nursing home before, and I haven't had time to sort them out. Give them to Wo Niang and let her sort them out."
“She’s really good at sorting through those long bills and forms.”
"You two know each other well?"
"We're just acquaintances." He Xueyi smiled, "My popularity in Paradise is much better than that lonely guy."
At this time, Bai Meemie used a comb to hook her tangled hair, ran out immediately, and showed her hair to Gu Huaiwei with a wronged look.
"Sister Gu, the humidity in the living room was off the charts last night. I couldn't even comb my hair. I don't want to stay in the yard. Can I go out with Sister Gu?"
The obvious little thoughts appear on Bai Meemie, which is very cute.
Gu Huaiwei planned to go to the hot spring mansion first.
"Your junior is late, so it's your turn." Gu Huaiwei took out a pair of scissors from her jade bracelet. "Mee-mee, your hair is tangled, do you want me to cut it off?"
"No need for that. I can comb it out slowly by myself." Bai Meimei protected her head with both hands. Her hair was her treasure.
She deliberately tangled her hair and then came out to complain.
If it was really cut off, she would be heartbroken.
Gu Huaiwei took Bai Meimei out. Wo Niang didn't reply until that afternoon. She told Gu Huaiwei that she was ready and waiting in the lobby. However, Gu Huaiwei had already entered the dungeon at that time.
Graymist Town Hot Spring Mansion.
The copy is currently being opened.
And it’s coming to an end.
As soon as Gu Huaiwei entered the Hot Spring Mansion copy, she smelled a strong smell of blood.
