Chapter 649: Son-in-law's First Visit to the Sect (Part 1)
Because Ruan Qi had a nightmare, Xi Jiu stayed in the second bedroom for the second half of the night.
He didn't do anything to the little girl. He just held her and coaxed her gently, patting her back.
Ruan Qi gradually calmed down from her uneasiness, and smelling the familiar scent of the man, she gradually fell asleep.
Perhaps because Xi Jiu was there, Ruan Qi didn't have nightmares in the second half of the night.
When she woke up the next morning, she had breakfast with the Xi family, and then left the Xi family mansion with Xi Jiu.
The black Maybach drove out of the quaint and luxurious door, and Ruan Qi's cell phone suddenly rang.
She picked up the phone and took a look.
Nie Beilou.
Xi Jiu, who was driving, glanced at the caller ID and remembered that he had forgotten to tell Ruan Qi something.
"After Mr. Zhuge left yesterday, Mr. Beilou called me and I told him the results of the divination."
After hearing this, Ruan Qi began to guess what Nie Beilou's intention was in calling her.
She pressed the connect button.
Nie Beilou's crisp voice came over: "Come to the sect, I have an appointment with your uncle Chu to hypnotize you."
really.
The master called to help her restore her memory.
If Zhuge Lang's calculations were correct, then her life force was most likely attached to a dead person from ten years ago.
In order to find out who this dead person is, Ruan Qi must first recover all his memories.
The carriage was very quiet, and Xi Jiu also heard Nie Beilou's voice.
He turned the steering wheel and the black Maybach turned sharply, heading towards the direction of Master Ruan Qi.
…
More than forty minutes later, the master arrived.
This was Xi Jiu's first time visiting Ruan Qi's sect.
Before coming here, his impression of this hidden sect that produced two genius doctors, Nie Beilou and Ruan Qi, had always been mysterious, powerful, and solemn.
But now...
Xi Jiu parked the car in front of the courtyard. As soon as he opened the door, the loudest sound wave from the loudspeaker hit him.
"To celebrate the 1,688th anniversary of the sect, all entertainment within the sect is 20% off! Everything is 20% off! Get 100 off for a 500 yuan top-up on your cafeteria meal card! And 15% off everything at the Good Days Canteen! Also, bring your sect ID badge to receive an anniversary gift at the office! One per person, no more, limited to 200! Limited to 200!"
The familiar shouting from the loudspeaker, accompanied by the background music of "Good Luck Comes", filled the entire courtyard gate, and the atmosphere was as joyous as the New Year.
Xi Jiu held the car door with one hand and put one foot on the ground, and was completely silent.
He slowly turned his head to look at Ruan Qi, with a hint of confusion in his cold black eyes.
Ruan Qi's mouth twitched, and for the first time, he felt that his own sect was a bit ashamed.
"...Baby," Xi Jiu couldn't help but ask when she didn't say anything, "Did we take the wrong path?"
Ruan Qi looked at the loud speaker hanging high on the vermilion gate and covered her eyes in despair.
"...Yes, this is my master."
Xi Jiu: "..."
The painting style of this master's school is not what he imagined.
Ruan Qi also knew that his own master's style was not quite right.
In order to maintain the dignity of the secluded sect, she coughed awkwardly and tried to explain, "The people living in the sect are all uncles and aunts. They are old and prefer... a lively atmosphere."
Xi Jiu's mind was now filled with the BGM of "Good Luck Comes", and he nodded in agreement.
It's quite lively.
It is estimated that all souls within a radius of 100 miles can be summoned.
After explaining, Ruan Qi closed the car door and took Xi Jiu to the sect with him.
As the vermilion gate got closer, Xi Jiu saw the plaque hanging beside the gate clearly -
Activity center for middle-aged and elderly people.
Xi Jiu: "..."
Ruan Qi noticed his expression and quickly explained again: "Master uncle and master uncle were just joking. They made this sign themselves."
Xi Jiu didn't know how to react for a moment.
He let Ruan Qi pull him over the high threshold.
Then, a huge signpost appeared in front of us.
It says—
Turn left for playing mahjong, go straight for square dancing, and turn right for listening to music.
Entertainment is paid, if you don’t have money, get out.
Xi Jiu: "………………"
Ruan Qi: “…”
The two were silent for what seemed like a century.
After a long while, Ruan Qi spoke with difficulty: "...Jiujiu, my sect is truly a legitimate sect."
“…”
Xi Jiu didn't know whether he should believe the little girl.
He looked at the signpost that said 'Paid entertainment, get out if you don't have money' and raised his hand to silently touch the wallet in his windbreaker pocket.
...Luckily I brought cash today.
Xi Jiu, who remained calm in the face of life and death, breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, an evil wind suddenly blew in from outside the door, causing the signpost to shake a few times and then fall to the ground with a bang.
A line of large characters on the back of the sign was exposed to the sun—
No cash payments accepted, no change.
If you don’t have any, get out!
Xi Jiu: "..."
This is really a serious sect.
…
Ruan Qi took Xi Jiu and walked from the main gate to the courtyard as if they had gone through a tribulation.
Along the way, Xi Jiu saw the Good Days Convenience Store, the Yilufa Chess and Card Room, the Fuguihua Square Dance Center, and the recently opened Lao Li Family Ancestral Massage Parlor.
Xi Jiu looked at the plaque of the massage parlor and couldn't help but ask Ruan Qi out of curiosity: "Who is this old Li family..."
"My uncle Li," Ruan Qi explained awkwardly, "recently retired from the hospital this year. With so much energy and nowhere else to go, I opened a massage parlor to provide paid services to my fellow disciples."
Xi Jiu didn't quite understand the necessary connection between 'retirement from the hospital' and 'massage parlor'.
Isn’t the gap between the two professions of doctor and masseur a bit too big?
Xi Jiu: "Did Master Li work at a traditional Chinese medicine hospital before he retired? Was he responsible for acupuncture and massage?"
"no."
Xi Jiu: "Then he is..."
Ruan Qi was silent for a moment, then spoke with difficulty, "He's an orthopedic specialist, the kind who uses a sledgehammer to knock bones on people on the operating table."
Xi Jiu: "..."
The knowledgeable boss Xi fell silent for the nth time.
I see.
No wonder I have nowhere to use my energy after retirement.
It turns out that you can't use a sledgehammer to hit people's bones.
Xi Jiu's mood was very complicated.
As he walked along, his worldview shattered and his imagination of Master Ruan Qi collapsed.
Just when he thought that his sect had collapsed to the point of collapse, Uncle Li successfully broadened his horizons once again.
Xi Jiu took a deep look at the mahogany sign of the massage parlor, and felt that he had understood the true meaning of this sect.
He said to Ruan Qi, "Master Li is an orthopedic specialist, and his massage parlor is called the Old Li Family Heritage. So, Master Li's ancestors were also orthopedic doctors? Did they also use a sledgehammer to pound bones like him?"
Unexpectedly, Ruan Qi shook her head and said, "No."
"?" Xi Jiu was a little surprised, his eyebrows slightly raised, "Then his ancestors were..."
Ruan Qi glanced at him and spoke again with difficulty: "Uncle Li's ancestors were blacksmiths."
