Chapter 148 Black Cat
Qi Gu: “…” The biggest watershed in life is indeed amniotic fluid.
When he was in college, he had to scrimp and save even to buy a bottle of Wangzai milk, but Lin Hanzhi was struggling over which villa to live in.
After muttering a few words in his mind, Qi Gusui opened the door and looked inside. There was a very spacious courtyard at the entrance. There were various plants in the yard, and in the middle of the courtyard stood a huge white porcelain water tank with goldfish of various colors swimming in it.
The main hall, master bedroom and side rooms are arranged in the courtyard. The layout is spacious and the feng shui is excellent. Every decoration is extremely exquisite. Qi Gu did not find it strange. After all, for a wealthy family, it is not difficult to find a feng shui master if they spend money.
Don't think about anything else.
Qi Gu went to the white porcelain jar and looked at the goldfish swimming beside the small lotus leaves with its tail wagging. This was the first time he had seen this style...and appearance of goldfish, so he couldn't help but feel curious.
The goldfish had a round belly that was red and white, and its head was like a red glutinous rice ball, about half the size of a palm.
Qi Gu stared at the goldfish and said tactfully: "Did this fish...eat a little too much?"
How come he became as fat as a pig?
Lin Hanzhi leaned over and said, "This is raised by the housekeeper. I rarely take care of it."
He doesn't even have time to lie down and do some fishing after coming back from field work, so how could he have time to raise a goldfish?
The home furnishings and decoration style of this courtyard house were all arranged by the housekeeper, who mainly focused on the taste and artistic conception. Lin Hanzhi had nothing else but a lot of money, so she let the housekeeper decide for himself.
Qi Gu asked in surprise: "Does the housekeeper still manage things here?"
Running back and forth between the two houses, it is reasonable for the housekeeper to have a higher salary -
——"No, there is another housekeeper in charge here, but he is quite socially anxious and doesn't want to appear on camera, so I gave him a holiday." Lin Hanzhi said these words calmly, which made people feel defenseless.
Qi Gu: “…”
He broke his guard and started to change the subject, "What kind of goldfish is this? Do you recognize it..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw a printed label on the white porcelain tank. It had the name and picture of each type of goldfish carefully marked on it, and it was just as neat as the ones in an aquarium.
"Ranchu goldfish." Qi Gu took a look, observed it almost enough, retracted his gaze, looked at Lin Hanzhi and said, "Is this what you asked Butler Yi to prepare?"
"Butler Yi?" Lin Hanzhi asked.
"He doesn't want to reveal his name, so just call him Anonymous, so he is Butler Yi." Qi Gu said naturally.
Lin Hanzhi thought that Qi Gu's naming method was very reasonable, so he said: "I just let him go wherever he wants and clean the yard, but he has always been a bit stubborn, so..."
Qi Gu understood it immediately, and then looked at other corners of the yard, and found that every plant was carefully marked with its name and category, and even the care methods they required were written on it.
[Wow, what kind of roll king is this! 】
[And he is a very careful roll king]
[So it turns out that wealthy families don’t just have one butler, but one for each house? Poverty limits my imagination.
[I have seen this goldfish before, but I have never seen one with such good appearance. This must be of competition quality.]
[Are there competition levels for goldfish?] I'm curious about the price.
[About six figures]
Is it too late to steal fish now? 】
In addition to the yard, there are many labels in other places, so detailed that the usage of each piece of furniture and appliance is simply marked. There is also a freshly arranged welcome bouquet of flowers on the table, and the label on the refrigerator says that there are welcome fruit plates and desserts inside.
It can be said that Yi Guanjia is gone but the label remains.
Qi Gu even found a label on the slippers in the guest bedroom, which noted which pair of slippers was suitable for the bathroom and which pair was suitable for walking indoors.
Anonymous housekeeper...it is very likely that the labeling machine has become a spirit.
[Wow, is this the happiness of rich people? This Butler Yi is too meticulous.]
[It’s marked on the kettle. I feel like he will help wipe your butt even if you poop…]
[Hiss, that’s still a bit perverted]
[It feels a bit exaggerated, but... I want a butler like me! 】
In the main residence of the Lin family, Jing Ping crushed a Coke can in front of the camera, thinking that it was all fancy moves, nothing special, not as meticulous and thoughtful as him!
Then he urgently asked the gardener to trim the grass and trees in the main house, and it would be best if the lawn could be shaped like rush branches. Salary and the like are not a problem.
Then he sent a message to Anonymous: [A petty trick, taking shortcuts]
Anonymous quickly replied with a screenshot of a page of praising comments.
Jing Ping: “…”
Jing Ping: [You are on vacation, come and see the old house I personally take care of, I want to let you know what professionalism is]
Anonymous: [I finally have a vacation, who wants to see your old face? Dad is in the scenic area, don’t bother me]
He is socially phobic, but the object of his social phobia does not include his lifelong enemy Jing Ping. When he sees Jing Ping, he has endless swear words to utter.
…
After Qi Gu put down his luggage in the guest bedroom and the director team had packed up their equipment, the other three kids came together.
The three of them all lived in the capital, so they made an appointment to come here together, which was convenient and relaxing.
After Mu Xingchen entered the courtyard, his eyes lit up again and again, and he sincerely asked Lin Hanzhi if he could take some photos here, feeling that it would be very photogenic.
Lin Hanzhi thought that this person would use the afternoon to take photos and would not bother Qi Gu, so she said generously: "Of course, you can take any photos you want. Have you contacted the photographer? I will find one for you now."
Mu Xingchen was so moved that her eyes welled up with tears. She grabbed Lin Hanzhi's hand and sincerely called out, "Brother Lin!"
Lin Hanzhi had no intention of getting entangled with him, so she waved to Miao Yue who was standing beside her: "Take more photos of him, preferably for a whole afternoon."
[Why do I feel like there's something else behind Queen's words, hahaha]
[It should be said that the Queen is indeed a capitalist, and it is easy for him to recruit people to work.]
[I understand this. Isn't it that he is trying to exclude dissidents in his words and deeds, and wants to stick with Gugu all by himself?]
[Not really, not really, you CP sisters really overthink everything you see]
Miao Yue naturally understood immediately and made an OK gesture to Lin Hanzhi.
Pubugesang looked at the two of them blankly, not understanding why they suddenly acted like they were more familiar with Mu Xingchen than he was with Mu Xingchen.
If I remember correctly, he was the first person to establish diplomatic relations with Mu Xingchen, right?
The adult world is so complicated.
Lin Hanzhi continued, "If you have nothing to do, go feed the goldfish. I know you kids love to do this."
Before Pubugesang could respond, a bag of fish food was stuffed into his hand.
[I'm sorry, I was wrong... I feel like he really just wants to get everyone else out of the way]
【xs hahahahaha】
[Why is she still competing for favor after becoming the queen? The kid’s confused expression made me die of laughter.]
[Little Kid: I am a child, not a robot. Are you trying to bore me to death by asking me to feed fish for the whole afternoon? 】
After sending the two away naturally, Lin Hanzhi came to the guest bedroom and knocked on the door: "The director said that everyone is almost here, and we need to shoot a first meeting first, and then we can move freely. Let's gather at the general's mansion at 6 pm."
Qi Gu came out quickly: "Okay."
He remembered that the General's Mansion started clearing tourists at five o'clock, so if he went there around six o'clock, all the tourists should have left by then, so the timing was just right.
"Has the star not arrived yet?" Qi Gu asked casually.
In the past, when Mu Xingchen arrived, he was always the first one to rush to him.
"As for him," Lin Hanzhi paused and said, "He wants to take some photos. He is hanging out with Miao Yue outside right now."
Qi Gu didn't notice anything unusual, nodded, and followed him to the living room.
*
Jiang Haojie also arrived, and was now working with Song An on the lighting and scenery. He claimed to be a film director, which was much better than variety show directors like Song An. He gave instructions to the stage staff and acted like he was doing this for your own good.
Song An: “…”
It was a really satisfying daddy-style bullying.
In the end, Song An used the excuse that shooting variety shows did not require as much attention to detail as movies to stop Jiang Haojie from changing the vivid colors of the variety show into the hazy green texture of his own movies.
After the adjustments were completed, the ghost-hunting program officially began live broadcast.
The guests introduced themselves to the camera one by one. Song An knew that Qi Gu and Jiang Haojie didn't get along, so he didn't arrange a handshake shot, but Jiang Haojie insisted on adding more drama.
He was wearing a white polo shirt, suit pants, and a pair of glasses. He looked gentle and elegant, and spoke slowly. "Hello, everyone. I'm Jiang Haojie, an ordinary middle-aged director, and the founder of a small animal rescue foundation. If you see injured animals, you can call our foundation's hotline and send them to my rescue park. The staff there and I will take good care of them until they recover and release them back home."
[Director Jiang is actually quite pretty, and looks very gentle]
[I only used a few words to introduce myself, but I talked a lot about the animals]
[I have heard of this foundation, it is really responsible, they will not give up even if the disease is very serious. Previously a sister picked up a kitten in a very bad condition and sent it here, and it was cured (a picture of a disabled kitten that lost its hind legs and could only walk with its front legs, but now has a sliding cart hung on its hind legs so it doesn’t have to be dragged on the ground)]
Jiang Haojie’s fans all think that Jiang Haojie is a good person and they praised him enthusiastically in the barrage.
After Jiang Haojie finished speaking, he made a move that Song An did not expect. He extended his hand to Qi Gu who was standing beside him: "Nice to meet you."
It's a gesture for shaking hands.
Qi Gu lowered his eyes and looked at the hand he stretched out. The hand was full of black lines and was filled with evil thoughts... A year ago, when Qi Gu said that, Jiang Haojie's condition was not so serious. He was just testing the edge, so Qi Gu said something like a reminder.
But obviously, that reminder had no effect on Jiang Haojie.
Qi Gu didn't extend his hand, but took a step back and responded with a cold expression.
"My hands are dirty, I won't shake hands with you." Qi Gu said.
Jiang Haojie: "It's okay, I don't mind."
Qi Gu looked at him speechlessly: "I'm talking about your hand."
Jiang Haojie: "You..."
He deliberately invited Qi Gu to shake hands, wanting the other party to refuse, so that everyone would realize how ungraceful Qi Gu was.
But when Qi Gu pointed out that his hands were dirty, Jiang Haojie couldn't control the slight twitching of his facial muscles, and subconsciously closed his open palms into fists. Others may not know, but he himself knows very well how many animals he has caused to wail in despair with this hand.
"Hey, Xiao Qi is so humorous. I just washed my hands, haha." Jiang Haojie laughed twice, trying hard to act like a senior who is tolerant of juniors.
Naturally, this caused dissatisfaction among his fans.
Qi Gu suddenly slid his fingertips across his palm and wrote something, then said, "Then hold it, if you want."
Then he grabbed Jiang Haojie's hand and quickly let go. At the moment of separation, a transparent rune flashed in Jiang Haojie's palm and disappeared without a trace.
Qi Gu took out a wet wipe from his pocket and began to disinfect his hands.
【? ? ? ? That’s too much.]
[Uh, Qi Gu is so rude. What kind of background makes him so arrogant? 】
[Isn’t he doing txl? The background is this person named Lin? 】
[I feel sorry for Director Jiang. For the sake of his new movie, such a veteran artist took the initiative to talk to a junior who had insulted him, but he was ignored]
Even the old fans of the show are speechless.
[He insisted on squeezing into the program crew. Isn't it normal that Gugu doesn't want to pay attention to him? 】
[And Gugu hasn’t said anything wrong so far, I believe Gugu anyway]
[No... You believe in Qi Gu's ability to catch ghosts, and think that following him can help you get more movie materials, but you don't believe what he said about Jiang Haojie's bad character. Don't you think there is something wrong with your logic? 】
[The above person will say that these Jiang Haojie fans are really weird]
[If I didn’t know they were real, I would have suspected they were just playing with abstraction]
【Playing with abstract reputation is harmed ()】
After everyone introduced themselves, Song An said, "The official filming of the program will not start until the evening. Next, the program staff will take everyone to see the General's Mansion during the day."
"Of course, the live broadcast room is shot from multiple angles. If you don't want to watch the general's mansion or want to watch the guests' daily interactions, you can choose freely."
Having said this, the cameramen followed the guests.
The main camera switched to the position inside the general's mansion.
Miao Yue, Mu Xingchen, Pubugesang and the other two started filming feeding the fishes around the fish tank, while Qi Gu naturally went back to his room to lie down and enjoy the air conditioning. Lin Hanzhi shared the same interest with him, so the two of them happily formed a group.
Although Jiang Haojie had tricked Qi Gu, he was still upset because Qi Gu said he had "dirty hands", so he went out for a walk with his cell phone and cat food.
He usually carries freeze-dried snacks with him to lure stray cats and dogs. He thinks those little guys are stupid. Even though they have been abandoned by humans once, they still believe in the kindness of humans so easily.
There were not many stray dogs in the alley, but there were a few cats, but most of them were perched on the walls and roofs of low houses. Jiang Haojie used freeze-dried cats to lure them for a long time under the scorching sun before a big cat with a black body and black eyes approached him.
She let out a "meow" at him.
Jiang Haojie stared at its agile figure and couldn't help but imagine in his mind how it was being tortured to death by him, causing him to have an intracranial orgasm.
Lured by the freeze-dried food, the black cat came to Jiang Haojie. Jiang Haojie knew that there was a camera filming, so he just stroked the cat's back and didn't do much else.
The moment his palm touched the black cat's back, Jiang Haojie felt a piercing chill.
He was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at the scorching sun. How could the cat be cold in such hot weather?
Jiang Haojie withdrew his hand in horror, and then saw the cameraman looking at him strangely.
He didn't dare to show any abnormality and had to continue to stroke the black cat. Fortunately, this time, the black cat's fur was warm and soft... What happened just now must have been an illusion, right?
After all, black is the color that absorbs the most heat. How could a black cat in the sun be cold?
