I heard it's not good to be a magic stick
Chapter 73 Holidays
Xu Xu stopped analyzing, cleared his throat, and invited people from outside to come in.
The person who came was to deliver a message for Yan Xi.
Considering that after the war, each team member needs to recuperate well, Yan Xi agreed to let the three of them take a paid vacation for one month.
When Zhang Linle heard about the holiday, he immediately started planning where he could travel.It doesn't matter where you go, but you can't let yourself be idle, and when you are free, your mind will be full of random thoughts, and you can't control it at all.
The little Taoist told several people: "National officials are not allowed to go abroad at will."
It is also a good choice to go back to his hometown after playing in the country. Zhang Linle went over the map of the country in his mind and decided to take advantage of the crisp autumn weather to climb mountains.
It's even better when someone is with you.
Zhang Linle looked at Xu Xu, and tentatively said: "Brother Xu, let's wait for Brother Jing Xing to recover from his injury for a few more days, then go out to relax and climb Mount Tai?"
Climbing mountains is not difficult for martial arts practitioners like them. Li Jingxing's body is still recovering, and he cannot carry out high-intensity training. Mountain climbing is relatively gentle, with stop and go, it can play a role in restorative training. Moreover, the air on the mountain is good, and you can watch the sunrise, which is a good vacation choice.
"No." Xu Xu rebuffed unceremoniously: "Xuanming Temple is built on the mountain, and you climb up and down every day. Haven't you climbed enough?"
Zhang Linle rolled his eyes and suggested, "Then go to the sea."
In Zhang Linle's traditional consciousness, isn't tourism just a tour of mountains and rivers?Brother Xu doesn't like mountain climbing, so let's go for a few laps in the sea together.
Xu Xu looked at the big-hearted Zhang Linle, and smiled sinisterly: "Aren't you afraid that the monkey will take your head?"
Speaking of monkeys, Zhang Linle thought of the heart-gouging scene again. If it wasn't for the emergency, he wouldn't want to do such a disgusting thing.Now even if a live chicken is placed in front of Zhang Linle, he will have to spend a few seconds mentally building up the neck of the chicken.
What he desperately wanted to forget was brought up by someone, Zhang Linle pursed his lips, brother Xu had no words to hold back, and he picked up which pot he didn't open.
"In that case, we can only stay in Xuanmingguan."
"I want to go back. The company is supported by Asi alone. I don't know what the situation is." Li Jingxing said.
"Axi?" Zhang Linle asked, "Does your hometown have a very powerful brother?"
Xu Xu snorted coldly: "It's a fool brother."
Asi is Li Jingxing's apprentice, he used to be a guide for wild roads in the forest, he happened to meet Li Jingxing and Xu Xu by chance, luckily they saved their lives with all their strength.
Later, Asi followed the two to exorcise evil spirits. Because of his honesty, kindness and loyalty, he was accepted by Li Jingxing as an apprentice and taught him carefully.
Before Li Jingxing and Xu Xu went to Huilongzhuang to meet Yan Xi, they saw that Asi had learned the basics of Daoism solidly, and that he was able to get rid of evil with his own hands, so they handed over the company to Asi to take care of the company with peace of mind.
After coming to Xuanming for several months, the two occasionally received a call from Assi, informing them of the company's operation.
The company is running smoothly, and the passenger flow is constant, but there is no income.After Li Jingxing asked, he found out that this child has a lot of kindness, and when he meets poor people who don't accept money, he will take the initiative to use his own income to help others.
Xu Xu's head hurts when he heard it, Axi is not a business material!This business is not doing charity, how can Asi use the skills that the ancestors rewarded as volunteers, is this still okay?
Xu Xu is very good at doing business. He is well versed in people's worship of metaphysics. He has built his company in a high-end and mysterious direction. He doesn't accept all kinds of business. Even rich and famous people have to make an appointment to see him.
People in the world often have inexplicable admiration for well-known feng shui companies. For the same feng shui adjustment, ordinary people charge [-], but Xu Xu dares to charge [-].
There is no specific charging standard in this industry, and metaphysics technology is not measurable by money, but more by word of mouth and fame.
Fengshui and forecasting are Xu Xu's housekeeping skills, serving ordinary people, there is nothing he is not sure about.Normally, Xu Xu would deliberately play tricks, point out the key words, and leave half of what he said, and this ability made him even more mysterious.
The fees are high and the effect is surprisingly good. Naturally, his company is favored by more and more upper-class people.Xu Xu had a prosperous life before, and lived a chic life. According to this development model, his company is very likely to become a leader in this industry.
But, who let Xu Xu meet Li Jingxing, the real man?
When you meet, accept, and accept your fate, let's marry a chicken as a chicken and marry a dog as a dog. Li Jingxing has the final say on all matters at home and abroad.Li Jingxing wanted to go to Xuanming, so Xu Xu gave up running the company and worked for the country with Li Jingxing.
When he came to Xuanming, although he didn't care about the company's affairs, he was still a little worried about Asi, this silly boy always did things that subverted his values.
Xu Xu would roll his eyes angrily every time he heard Asi say how much he helped someone and how much he spent, while Li Jingxing smiled generously, praised Asi for his kind behavior, and at the same time reminded Asi to be careful, Sheng Mien fights Mi Qiu, many things are done for the first time, others will be grateful, but if you do too much, people will take it for granted.
Asi repeatedly said yes, but next time his sympathy overflowed, he would do the same.
"You said that Asi, a tall black man, is as soft-hearted as a little woman?" Xu Xu was so angry that he wanted to blow his beard, of course, the premise was that he had it.
Zhang Linle couldn't help laughing, but he thought this kind of person was cute, kind and honest, and a friend worthy of deep friendship.
It just so happened that Li Jingxing wanted to go back and take a look at the company, Xu Xu naturally raised his hands in agreement, he wanted to go back and teach Asi a lesson, and when he got to the company, he had to take off Asi's ears.
"This prodigal son." Xu Xu said angrily.
Seeing his angry look, Li Jingxing stretched out his thumb and index finger, and gently pinched Xu Xu's small face.Seeing that Xu Xu's emotions were calmed down, Li Jingxing was about to let go, when Xu Xu's face was put close to him, and he rubbed against the back of Li Jingxing's hand very obediently.
Zhang Linle, who was force-fed dog food, was silent for a long time. Seeing that the two were still flirting with each other, he couldn't help coughing twice.
Li Jingxing raised his eyes: "Lin Le, what's your vacation arrangement?"
"Then I'll go back with you, I just went back to school to climb the mountain."
I can go anywhere, I don't want to be alone.
Xu Xu looked at Zhang Linle and smiled knowingly. Chai Ziyang's whereabouts were unknown. Although he predicted that there was no danger, for Zhang Linle, who had just started his love life, he was very scared and uneasy if he could not see Chai Ziyang.
He was also worried about Zhang Linle, and it would be good to be with him together, so as not to let the kid think about it.
After nearly two weeks of recuperation, Li Jingxing had basically recovered. The three of them explained to Yan Xi where they were going, and then drove all the way back.
When Asi heard that Master was coming back, he was excited for several days. He deliberately cleaned the house in advance, closed the shop for a day, and rushed to the supermarket early in the morning to buy a bunch of ingredients, washed, peeled, fried and boiled. Made a table of dishes.
The three of Li Jingxing arrived on time, and Asi had already been waiting outside the compound, waving his hands and shouting loudly: "Master, this way!"
Asi greeted excitedly, watched Li Jingxing approaching, and wanted to do a Taoist gift, but was supported by Li Jingxing: "It's enough if you want to, there is no need to be formal."
Asi nodded, and respectfully said to Xu Xu: "Master's wife is good."
"Pfft!" Zhang Lin was amused.
"Mother, you're big." Xu Xu stretched out his hand and slapped Assi on the back.
How could this slap hurt him, who was rough and fleshy? Asi scratched his head, and enthusiastically led the three of them into the house.
Asi has already settled down in this city. He lives not far from the company. He can take care of him during the day and night. On weekends, he goes back to Li Jingxing's house to clean up. He lives happily.
As soon as the three sat down on the sofa, Asi immediately brought out several large plates of fruits and nuts, and said with a simple and honest smile, "I didn't prepare much, so just eat something."
Zhang Linle took a look, and it was called not preparing anything. These fruit snacks could be eaten as a meal.
"This is Zhang Linle, our colleague. We usually get along like brothers, two years older than you." Li Jingxing turned his head and introduced, "This is Asi."
"Hello brother."
Zhang Linle felt that he was still young, so he immediately said, "Hey, Asi, we are about the same age, so let's call each other by first name, you can call me Linle."
"Oh, okay, Lin Le, you are Master's colleague, you must have great abilities."
Zhang Linle said modestly, "You are too much."
"Do you know the law or predict?"
Zhang Linle shook his head, glanced at Li Jingxing, wondering whether he should say it or not.
Xu Xu peeled a grape, fed it into Li Jingxing's mouth, and greeted Zhang Linle directly: "Axi is one of my own, you should be at home."
"Oh, good." Zhang Linle rubbed his hands, "I have yin and yang eyes, and I have an unstable ability, which is said to defend against metaphysics attacks."
"Wow, that's awesome." Asi rubbed his hands together, "Do you have time to show off two tricks?"
"Oh, let's wait for a chance." Zhang Lin said cheerfully, probably there is no chance.
The two are about the same age, Zhang Linle has a straightforward and optimistic personality, has a strong affinity, and likes kind and persistent people, while Asi happens to be generous and honest, and the result is exactly what Zhang Linle thought before.The two hit it off right away, their aura and three views matched, in short, they were especially on the right track.
This chat never stopped, and I was almost about to sacrifice my blood to become the leader of the alliance, quite a bit like seeing each other later.When eating, Asi took good care of Zhang Linle, and kept adding vegetables and rice, which almost made Zhang Linle break the historical record of eating six bowls.
Li Jingxing saw that the two had a happy conversation, so he left Zhang Linle at Asi's house for the night. Although Asi's house was not spacious, there was no pressure for one more person to stay overnight, so he made the bed.
Xu Xu was full of wine and food, and also felt sleepy. After explaining that he would go to the company tomorrow morning, he urged Li Jingxing to go back to their house.
As soon as Xu Xu got home, he ran to the bedroom, kicked off his slippers, and fell on the bed in a big character. Smelling the familiar smell of the room, he raised his neck happily.
Li Jing walked to the door of the bedroom, looked at Xu Xu with a smile: "Get up and take a shower."
Xu Xu closed his eyes lazily, and said in a protracted voice coquettishly, "You wash first, and let me just lie there for a while."
Li Jingxing crawled on top of Xu Xu, and put his arms on both sides of his shoulders: "You will lie down like this for a while, don't waste time."
Xu Xu opened his eyes slowly, his face was a little red, he opened his arms and put his arms around Li Jingxing's neck as soon as he pursed his mouth, and rubbed his head affectionately on Li Jingxing's chin like a cat.
"Shall we wash together?" Li Jingxing asked.
Xu Xu pushed the other party away: "No, you will torment people."
"You don't like it?"
Xu Xu narrowed his eyes and shook his head proudly: "I don't like it."
Li Jingxing scratched the bridge of the other's nose with his index finger: "Then which one do you like?"
After that, it was time to fall into the trap, and Xu Xu stopped talking, and just looked at the partner with winking eyes like silk.
"If I didn't satisfy you before, I will try my best tonight."
Xu Xu's eyes widened suddenly, and the corners of Li Jingxing's mouth curled up: "Do your best."
Xu Xu didn't dare to do it now, and he was full of flattery: "Brother, your body has just recovered, don't be too tired."
"It's not fatigue, it's enjoyment." Li Jingxing stood up, and as soon as his arms were strong, he hugged Xu Xu.
Xu Xu wanted to cry out for help. Last time on the cruise ship, Li Jingxing almost made him unable to get out of bed. If he tries his best this time, will he be paralyzed?
Li Jingxing put Xu Xu in the bathtub, turned on the warm water, and peeled off the person inside.
Xu Xu begged for mercy: "Brother, a gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands, so don't touch me."
"It's okay to use your mouth."
"what......"
Before Xu Xu could react, Li Jingxing buried his head.
"Ah~!"
God!
This is Xu Xu's dragon!
The person who came was to deliver a message for Yan Xi.
Considering that after the war, each team member needs to recuperate well, Yan Xi agreed to let the three of them take a paid vacation for one month.
