believe your evil

Sheng Lian was born in an ordinary dual-career family in City A. His parents are honest people who do their best. His greatest wish in this life is to hope that his son will be admitted to the civil service after graduating from university, and that he will be able to hold a job that is not bad even if he touches porcelain, and honor his ancestors.

Sheng Lian lived up to expectations and passed the exam.

The Sheng family couple was overjoyed, and even went back to their hometown to have a drink.

There are more than a dozen tables set up in the courtyard, extending to the gate of the small two-story building in the countryside of the county. The Sheng family couple warmly entertained the neighbors in the village, but Sheng Lian, the protagonist, sat alone on the second floor of his hometown. He gnawed cucumbers on the steps of the small broken building, crunchy and crunchy. Looking at his parents from the perspective of a bystander, he didn't quite understand the obsession of the two elders for an iron rice bowl.

Isn't it just a stable job?

Sheng Lian took the last bite, wiped his hands, got up, turned back to the house, and went to his grandma's room.

Sheng Lian's grandma is 80 years old this year, and she is growing stronger and faster than a little girl. People in the village say that Sheng Lian's grandma is an old girl who is open-minded and has a good attitude.

At this moment, the silver-haired old girl was facing away from the door of the room, and kowtowed to a lotus seat on the table inside the room to pray for blessings.

Kneeling three times and bowing three times, it's over, and a stick of incense is put on, and then bowed again, and it's over.

"Grandma." Sheng Lian entered the door, glanced at the lotus platform, and still doesn't quite understand what his grandma is praying for.

When the old lady saw her grandson coming in, she smiled cheerfully and waved to him. To be honest, Sheng Lian was actually closer to the old lady, because the Sheng family couple was too busy with work to take care of their son, and the old lady took care of her personally. This grandson.

Now that the eldest grandson is successful in his studies and admitted to the civil service, the old lady is naturally happy.

But when she was happy, she still pulled Sheng Lian quietly, looked carefully at the closed door, suppressed the old voice, and patiently told Sheng Lian: "If your place of work is far away from home, find a reason to move out by yourself. Live alone, don't be discovered by your parents, it will scare them, you know?"

Sheng Lian nodded: "I know."

The old lady asked again worriedly: "Can you do it by yourself?"

The old lady treated him like a child, and Sheng Lian specially emphasized the promise: "Yes, yes, absolutely."

The old lady nodded, but she slowed down, and sighed again: "Hey, don't blame me for being talkative at this age, who made you a cabbage genius."

Other people's family is full of mothers and fathers, but his family is definitely a mother.

"Oh yes," the old lady blamed herself for being stupid, "I forgot again, it's not cabbage, it's Tianshan snow lotus, um, snow lotus essence."

Sheng Lian is not human, to be precise, not completely human, his body is a Tianshan snow lotus.

It's strange to say that the Sheng family has been ordinary mortals for several generations, and their careers have been poor and lower-middle peasants since his parents' generation. They didn't even have a fortune teller, but this generation gave birth to a "monster".

This monster was born out of a mother's womb. When he was three years old, one day he went to the vegetable garden with Mrs. Sheng to dig cabbage. As he dug, Sheng Lian suddenly turned into a big cabbage stuck in the soil. , Mrs. Sheng turned her head and didn't see her grandson, but when she saw such a big cabbage, she raised her hand to dig it.

The old lady held the simple attitude of "it's so big, dig it back and cook it", the grandson even forgot, hugged it and walked away, raised his legs into the kitchen, but suddenly heard a childish cry——

"Grandma! Don't eat me! Woooooooooo..."

This is the first time that Sheng Lian has produced the prototype of his cabbage-shaped Tianshan snow lotus.

But when it comes to those past events, Sheng Lian also admires her as a grandma who can't read a few characters. She has no culture, but she is full of courage and lust. Silly, he hugged him back to the room at the first time, kowtowed to the lotus seat three times and prayed nine times, praying with words. Not long after, Sheng Lian turned back to his childish appearance.

Sheng Lian didn't remember much about his childhood, but he grew up with the old lady of the Sheng family, and he always kept in mind not to reveal his real identity to anyone. Later, when he grew up, Sheng Lian became sensible and consciously kept the secret.

He just occasionally wondered, how did grandma see the true identity of his Tianshan Snow Lotus through the skin of the tender leaves of the cabbage? Are you sure it's not cabbage?Or, grandma once witnessed a Tianshan snow lotus?

Sheng Lian didn't know, because the old lady never said much, just like she never told anyone, which god and Buddha used to lie on the rosette enshrined on her table.

The old lady was getting old, so she couldn't help nagging and exhorting her a lot. Soon, Sheng Lian's mother came and asked Sheng Lian to go out to toast, and she dragged her out.

When closing the door, she glanced at the lotus seat on the desk, and the mother of the Sheng family asked Sheng Lian: "What did your grandma tell you?"

Sheng Lian said simply: "I didn't say anything."

The mother of the Sheng family sighed: "Since I married into this family, I have found that your grandma is supernatural all day long. Now she is better. She only provided an empty lotus seat. She asked the master to do something 'Meng Po' The portraits of 'Judge Cui' and 'Black and White Impermanence' are offered, but others offer offerings to gods and Buddhas, but your grandma is fine, and offering some from the underworld, I really don't know what to say."

Sheng Lian also knew about these things, so he didn't say anything, but thought silently in his heart: Without a cabbage god at home, his grandma is really restrained.

The banquet lasted all day, and it ended around two o'clock. The guests dispersed, but Sheng Lian had to leave early because he was going to report to the department early in the morning the day after tomorrow.

Grandma was still taking a nap, and the Sheng family couple sent Sheng Lian to the gate of the courtyard, constantly urging Sheng Lian to get along well with his colleagues in the Audit Office, try to learn from the leaders, and work diligently and actively, so as to pave the way for his future career.

Career?

Sheng Lian thought about his department and didn't know anything else, but his career in newspaper reading should be smooth sailing in the future.

Sheng Lian boarded the train back, and in fact, he wasn't telling the truth about his work.

What he took the exam was not the Audit Office as his parents said, but a relatively mysterious special commissioned office, and the entry department was the "purification department" under this special commissioned office.

Sheng Lian once asked a friend about what this so-called "purification department" does. The friend said frankly: "Don't do anything, just a group of lotus squatting in a department to promote socialist spiritual civilization, and occasionally go out It's very easy to do some ideological work for other species in the field."

Sheng Lian innocently believed the phrase "Yes".

The next day, he received a call from the Special Commissioner's Office at home. It was a woman's voice: "Sheng Lian, right?"

Sheng Lian: "It's me."

The other party: "Hello, I'm your colleague in the purification department. I'll notify you today to report in advance. I'll send you an address later. If you're fine, come here."

Sheng Lian was a little surprised: "Today?"

The other party asked: "Is there a problem?"

Sheng Lianxin said that it was all right anyway and that he was not in a hurry to find a house, so he agreed, changed into a white shirt and black trousers, and took a taxi to the address the other party sent him.

When he got out of the car, he wondered if the driver had driven the wrong way. He deliberately looked at his phone again, and then raised his eyes again. He was shocked—the address given to him by the person who asked him to report turned out to be the most expensive single-family house in city A. Villa community, the kind where a house can be tens of millions.

Looking at the magnificent and heavily guarded community gate in front of him, Sheng Lian called the other party to reconfirm with trembling heart.

The woman took it for granted: "Yes, that's right, you come in through the main entrance, have you brought the entry card that was sent to you before, and if you bring it, just swipe it, and the security guard stops you, just say it's from Building 09, and he will let you in of."

Sure enough, Sheng Lian went to swipe the door card, and the security guard came to ask. He said Building 09, and the security guard let it go directly.

And after he knocked on the door of Villa 09 and stepped into the open office room made of a spacious living room of 200 square meters, he was shocked for the second time.

Even if it is a special department, it can't be so corrupt that it directly uses a three-story single-family villa as an office, right?

There was no high-end decoration in the villa, and it was a purely official office area. Sheng Lian reported his name at the front desk, was invited to the second floor, and knocked on the door of the department that said "Purification Department One".

No one answered for half a day.

He could only gently push open the crack of the door and look inside. After seeing it, he was startled again and asked him to report. There was no one in the huge office area?Look at the time, it's already three o'clock in the afternoon, did they all go to bed after drinking afternoon tea?

Sheng Lian was shocked for the third time. He silently thought to himself, what kind of civil servant would he take the test for, and what kind of report would he report? Are you going to go squatting instead?

Fortunately, he thought he was smart at the beginning and applied for a so-called department where everyone was "insiders" - that is, everyone is not a person.

Suddenly someone coughed from behind: "Sheng Lian, right?"

Sheng Lian turned around and saw a young woman in a blue uniform, and recognized the voice, it was the one who called him to report in advance.

Sheng Lian nodded: "It's me."

The young woman also nodded: "Hi, I'm Huang Lianhua."

What a unique name.

The woman looked at Sheng Lian again: "By the way, you are also a herb, what kind of lotus?"

Sheng Lian realized that Huang Lianhua was not the name, but the original body.

To be honest, Sheng Lian is not used to this way of greeting. Although he is a snow lotus, he cannot be regarded as a pure person, but he was born from a mother's womb and raised as an ordinary human being, and he is used to the life of an ordinary person. He never only asked his name when greeting each other with his friends, and he had never heard of asking him about any subject.

But since he came to be safe, he chose this path of contact with his own kind, so he naturally had to change.

Sheng Lian got used to it a bit, and said politely: "I'll check." He decisively took out his mobile phone and searched, and read out the information in the encyclopedia: "Tianshan snow lotus, uh, Compositae."

Asteraceae?The snow lotus is actually from the Compositae family?Why does this subject feel weird.

The white lotus female colleague was stunned for a moment: "What?"

Sheng Lian spoke politely and calmly. In order to show a little affinity, he deliberately smiled slightly: "Asteraceae."

White Lotus female colleague: "No! What kind of lotus are you?"

Sheng Lian: "Tianshan snow lotus."

The female colleague Bailianhua made a frightened look, took two steps back, and gasped for breath: "Tianshan... Xuelian..."

Sheng Lian was a little confused, and winked at her: "Yes, yes."

The female colleague suddenly turned around, and Sa Yazi ran wildly in the corridor on the second floor of the villa, shaking her hands: "Comrades! Come out and see! The purification department has a Tianshan snow lotus!! It's still male! The almighty Tianshan snow lotus! In the future, our Special Commissioner will have a way to save his life la la la la la..."

"Bang bang bang", the female colleague ran along the way and opened the doors like dominoes, with countless heads sticking out, and countless eyes widened. They all looked at the omnipotent Hanging Tianshan who was standing inexplicably in the corridor. Saussurea.

Sheng Lian regretted it. As a civil servant who has not officially entered the job, he was so high-profile on the first day of work, what should he do in the future?

Hey, if I knew it earlier, I would have said that I was a cabbage.
