Taoism on the tip of the tongue

Chapter 40 The Third Plate of Flower Cake

"The girl from the barber shop?" Gu Changsheng realized that this girl might be the key.

"Yes," Liu Xu continued without realizing it, "that girl is really nice, cheerful, enthusiastic and thoughtful, but also very generous, and she doesn't care about anything at all. I went there twice in a row and it was her who I did it, and she said she hit it off with me, so every time I go again, as long as she is free, she will definitely wash it for me. She will also secretly add the clock when washing."

That barber shop has very strict rules, and each customer has a strict time limit for washing their hair, usually between 25 minutes and half an hour.It doesn't work if you finish it too early or too late, too early will make guests feel that you have not washed cleanly, and too late will delay serving other guests.Many customers will choose to leave impatiently if they wait for a long time before it is their turn to wash their hair.Therefore, if this kind of behavior is added, if it is discovered, the clerk responsible for washing the hair will be fined.But the girl secretly prolongs the time for washing her hair every time: "She said that I am a student, and I often have stiff shoulders and neck when typing papers on the computer. Pressing more will make it more comfortable and reduce the chance of cervical spondylosis."

"So every time she washes my hair, she presses it for more than ten minutes." She washes the basic package, and usually only presses it for 5 minutes: "She refused to upgrade the package, saying it was unnecessary. Waste of that money.” After the package is upgraded, the massage time will be longer, so the girl will be fine if she presses her for an extra ten minutes.

There's no way, I can't stand the girl, so Liu Xu can only bring a small gift for the girl every time she passes by.Sometimes it's a cup of milk tea, sometimes it's a small cake.During the holidays, they will also give away lipstick or something.

"We became very good friends."

Mentioning that girl, Liu Xu smiled.In addition to her family, she was lucky to meet someone who didn't change her face when her acne grew more and more.Although she didn't go there again after the pimples on her body became serious, and the two lost contact, in Liu Xu's heart, the other party has always been her friend.

"Then do you think there's something wrong with that barbershop?" Gu Changsheng hastily changed the subject after listening to her bragging about Miss Sister for a long time, and asked about something serious.

"I don't think so," Liu Xu recalled, "If I have to say it, it's that the store manager is very serious and unsmiling. It's the kind of seriousness that someone tells a joke, but the joke is really funny, making everyone laugh. .” It’s no different from facial paralysis.

"Actually, I didn't go there much later, so I don't know the situation. Master Gu, is there something wrong with that store?" After all, Liu Xu is not a fool. Gu Changsheng said it was so obvious, how could she fail to see the problem? Come.

"Do you have a barber shop, and do you have a photo of the clerk girl?" Gu Changsheng asked.

He still had to look at the situation to see if there was really a problem.

Nowadays, it is convenient to take pictures with mobile phones. Many people like to take pictures, but Liu Xu doesn't like it.Now Gu Changsheng asked her for a photo, no matter if it was a photo of the store environment or a photo of the shop assistant's girl, she didn't have any, so Liu Xu could only shake his head.

"What about the contact information? If there is WeChat, there should be photos in WeChat." In order to attract customers, many barbershop clerks will actively ask to exchange contact information with customers.Liu Xu is a regular customer in their store, and they should have exchanged it too.

"Nothing." There was nothing, Liu Xu felt that she was too useless, so she couldn't help lowering her voice, speaking very softly, if Gu Changsheng hadn't been paying attention, she might have ignored it.

Gu Changsheng was a little surprised.It stands to reason that Liu Xu and that girl have such a good relationship, even if it's not to attract customers, wouldn't it be more natural for friends to exchange communication methods?

Gu Changsheng's expression was well managed. Liu Xu didn't see his surprise, but she still explained subconsciously: "I don't like taking pictures very much. I don't like taking pictures by myself or helping others, so I never took pictures. The contact information was originally my I asked the clerk to pass, but the girl said that she washes her hair there and doesn’t know how to run. The two can meet often, so there is no need to change numbers. Because she is usually really busy, I just called and sent a message , she didn’t have time to return. It’s the same with or without a number, and I think it’s the same, so I don’t want any more.”

"But my university is local." There are several good universities in City A. She was reluctant to leave home, so she didn't pass the exam: "If you have time, I can take you there. That store It's in the university town." Liu Xu made this decision with great determination.No matter whether the skin can be cured or not, she can't always avoid it, she has to face it.

She can no longer worry her family.

Parents, Aunt Wu and Sister Wu lost a lot of weight because of her during this time.

Liu Xu wanted to cheer up, and after seeing this, of course Gu Changsheng would not refuse.He swallowed the rest of the words, giving up the idea of ​​just wanting an address and going there by himself.Gu Changsheng said: "Okay, then get ready, we'll go together tomorrow." It's a bit late today.

After discussing the time, Liu Xu left Gu's house.The two made an appointment to meet in the university town, and the next day Gu Changsheng went there 10 minutes early, but Liu Xu and Wu Jie were already waiting there.

"Master Gu, I'm going to trouble you again this time." Seeing Gu Changsheng, Wu Jie stepped forward embarrassedly: "Xuxu told me that you said you could bring someone over there. Originally her parents wanted to come, but I was afraid Scared them, so I stopped."

"Scared?" Liu Xu was a little confused.Her parents were not for the faint of heart.

Wu Jie touched Liu Xu's hair with gentle eyes and lovingly: "You have not been interested in things like fortune-telling and catching ghosts since you were a child. When other children are too scared to go to sleep watching ghost movies, you are not only not afraid at all, but also very I wonder why they are afraid. I think it’s all a lie, feudal superstition, there’s nothing to be afraid of if it’s all fake.” Liu Xu used to be very courageous.

"I know you always thought that Master Gu was a doctor," Wu Jie continued, "I was afraid that you wouldn't want to come, so I kept making mistakes and didn't tell you that this master is not a master of medical skills." But it's this time, I have to tell her fact.

Wu Jie told Liu Xu what happened back then, and finally said: "Your pimples are really weird, so I suggest you come to Master Gu for help."

Suddenly hearing that there are ghosts in the world, Liu Xu didn't believe it at first.But what happened to Dodo back then really couldn't be explained by common sense.What's more, Aunt Wu is not a person who is easy to fool. She was cheated by her ex-husband in the past because she was blinded by love.But no matter how good-looking Gu Changsheng is, the two of them are so far apart in age, there is also a gap in experience, and they are outsiders, so it is not easy to deceive Aunt Wu.

Besides, whether it's true or false, the fox's tail can't always be hidden.This matter will be resolved soon, and Liu Xu finally chose to trust Wu Jie's judgment, thinking to see more before making plans.If it is a liar, call the police. If it is really a master, it will be salvation for her now.

As long as it can solve the problem, Liu Xu doesn't mind using any method.It's the same for her whether to see a doctor or dance to the master.

Seeing that Liu Xu didn't speak, Wu Jie thought she was worried about her illness, so she quickly comforted her, "Don't look at Master Gu as young, in fact, he is very capable." solve.

Wu Jie didn't say the second half of the sentence, because she was afraid that Liu Xu would be disappointed if it was really sick.

As long as it made her happy, Liu Xu's state was really bad during this time.

Walking into the university town, Liu Xu was wrapped up tightly, leading the way against the surprised eyes of the people on the street, and the barbershop arrived soon.

"Is girl No. [-] here?" The clerks in the barber shop don't call each other by their real names. They all have a number, and they usually tell customers the number, so that customers can designate the clerk to serve.That girl was No. [-], and Liu Xu didn't see anyone after entering the shop, so she took the initiative to ask.

"Not here," Liu Xu covered her face, and the clerk at the front desk didn't see her skin, so she wasn't frightened.I think Liu Xu's dress is a bit strange, but in case people are afraid of the sun, maybe it is also a physical sunscreen.Worried about causing the customer's dislike, the clerk tried his best to control his expression, and asked softly: "Customer, do you wash or have your hair done? If you wash your hair, you are free now on the 21th and [-]st, and the hairdo on the [-]th is very good." Yes. You see, my hair was done by No. [-]." The clerk strongly recommended, hoping to keep customers.

"I'm not here to wash my hair today, but I have something to do with girl No. [-]."

Hearing what Liu Xu said, although the clerk was a little disappointed, he still had a gentle attitude and explained: "No. [-] has resigned, and he has been gone for almost half a month."

The service attitude of this store is really good. Even if the catkins are not consumed, the clerk is doing his best: "Didn't you have acne on your face before the fifth day? It seems that you have registered with a very good doctor recently. After recovering, she became more attractive, so she said she would quit her job and go back to focus on blind dates." Number five is not young, and she has long wanted to get married.In the past, due to the condition of my skin, I couldn't find a suitable partner.But she should be able to get her wish when she goes back this time.

"Look better?" Liu Xuming, who was suffering from pimples, knew that she was not acne, but she couldn't help asking when she heard the good doctor.

"That's right," the clerk thought Liu Xu didn't believe it, so he took out his phone, "I still have her photo here, take a look."

While flipping through the photo album for Liu Xu, the clerk sighed, "No. [-] has changed a lot. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it. Not only did her acne disappear, but she also lost a lot of weight. Her skin is white and tender. Doesn't it just look better!"

"Look, this photo hasn't been posted at all, and it looks no worse than a starlet." The clerk had freckles on his face, and when he talked about the envy on his face, "I don't know which doctor she went to." She also wanted to Be beautiful.But No. [-]'s mouth is always tight, no matter how much she asks, she can't get it out, and no matter how unwilling she is, she can only give up.

Knowing that the clerk didn't know who the doctor was, Liu Xu was a little disappointed, but she still remembered what she was doing here. After making sure that No. [-] hadn't come back and couldn't be contacted, Liu Xu had no choice but to ask the clerk for a No. [-] Photo.The clerk gave it generously: "Don't spread the word everywhere."

No one was found, the group left the barber shop, Liu Xu handed the phone to Gu Changsheng.In the store before, Gu Changsheng was a man, so he couldn't keep staring at the girl's photo, which would easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so he just glanced away before looking away.

But that glance also allowed Gu Changsheng to roughly see the situation in the photo.The whole face of the person in the photo was covered by black air. Seeing this, Gu Changsheng couldn't understand anything. This matter must have something to do with her.

"There's a milk tea shop across the street, let's go and sit down." It's not safe to look at your phone while walking, and it's easy to bump into people.What's more, the weather is so hot, it's time to add some water.Wu Jie suggested thoughtfully.

Everyone agreed and moved to the milk tea shop.After ordering, Gu Changsheng tried his best to see the face of the person in the photo.It's a pity that the black air is too thick, and the facial features are a little unreal no matter how you look at it.The only thing that is certain is that this person's face is definitely weird.

"The one sitting over there seems to be girl No. [-]." Liu Xu said suddenly.Following her gaze, both Gu Changsheng and Wu Jie found that the woman sitting diagonally opposite seemed to be No. [-].There was a man sitting opposite the other party. Judging from his posture, he should be on a blind date or dating.

"She has really become a lot prettier. Although her facial features haven't changed much, she is more refined. And her skin is so good," Liu Xu's words could not conceal her envy: "White shines. Compared with before, people are more beautiful. I have lost a lot of weight, and I have a good figure." No. [-] used to have a somewhat round figure.

If she hadn't just seen the photo, she wouldn't dare to recognize No. [-] now.It's like a different person.

Especially the position where No. [-] was sitting, just when the sun shone in. The sun shone on her body, and her skin looked so white that it was a little transparent.People can't help but worry about whether she will be sunburned like ice cream.

Apparently the man sitting across from No. [-] thought so too, and the two quickly changed seats in the shade.

"What a weirdo, the summer clothes are so tight." When passing by Liu Xu, the man whispered to No. [-].Number five glanced at Liu Xu, and said coquettishly, "How can you say that about others, it's rude."

"Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it." The man was numb all over, and quickly made a promise.

Only then was No. [-] satisfied, nodded to Liu Xu, and left holding the man's hand.

"Do you know her?" The man could faintly hear the man asking Number Five.

She recognized herself.Liu Xu felt a little inferior, and touched her face through the scarf, not daring to go over to say hello.

"It looks like you used to." Wu Jie said subconsciously when No. [-]'s skin was white and clear, looking at her as if she saw catkins from a few months ago.As soon as she said the words, she realized that something was wrong, and quickly changed the subject: "Xuxu, I'm a little hungry, and I want to order a dessert, do you want one too?"

Knowing that Aunt Wu didn't mean it, she didn't want to hurt her more than anyone else.Liu Xu squeezed out a smile, and said cooperatively: "Aunt Wu, can you help me order Yang Zhi Ganlu, I suddenly want to eat mangoes."

"Then I'll let them play more."
