Well of Mystery

That night, taking care of Bai Xiuqi's leg injury, Jiang Chenglu moved to the Taobao shop downstairs to rest.But this night, Bai Xiuqi didn't sleep well at all.

Perhaps because of the wound and the falling into the water, the high fever that had subsided for a few days seemed to be making a comeback.He struggled to get up and drank a few sips of water, and then fell into an upside-down dream.

Different from previous dreams, this time Bai Xiuqi dreamed about what happened a few hours ago.

The faces of Wang Ti and Zhou Yiliang, the blood flowing from Wang Ti's neck, the gleaming dagger in Zhou Yiliang's hand, and the face of the woman who suddenly popped up from Wang Ti's mobile phone screen... over and over again, like a An inescapable vicious circle.

After finally waking up, Bai Xiuqi found that he was covered in cold sweat. He didn't close his eyes any more, and waited until the dawn came a few hours later, and the sound of birdsong was heard in the distance before he managed to calm down.

He didn't know how long he slept afterwards, but it was a sound sleep.The fly in the ointment was that he thought he could sleep until dusk, but unfortunately his stomach quickly protested from hunger, and he struggled for a long time before opening his eyes a little.

It opened, but it couldn't be closed again.

Jiang Chenglu didn't know when he came in, but now he was standing by the stove only five or six steps away from the end of the bed.He wears a blue cartoon apron that costs 10 yuan a piece around his waist, holds a spoon in his hand, and the soup pot in front of him is gurgling and tumbling softly.

Heck... how does this soup taste so good!

Bai Xiuqi grunted, turned over and sat up.He was just thinking about crawling to find clean clothes in the box, when he saw two pieces of clothes and pants that he often wears spread out at the end of the bed.

"Are you awake?" Jiang Chenglu also heard the movement and turned around: "The clothes are ready for you, I don't know if it suits you, so let's wear it."

"……thanks."

To be honest, Bai Xiuqi was really touched.He put on his clothes and asked, "What did you cook?"

"Pig trotters, chicken feet and goose feet soup, simmered slowly over low heat, it has been two hours." Jiang Chenglu scooped up a spoonful of thick soup with a sense of accomplishment: "To complement the body, eat what you eat. "

"...Why don't you put more pieces of ham in?" Bai Xiuqi was speechless.

"Oh, by the way, I also bought horseshoes!" Jiang Chenglu lifted up a plastic basket in the sink, which was full of freshly peeled snow-white water chestnuts.

Because of the inconvenience, Bai Xiuqi decisively canceled the morning bathing session.After a brief wash, he sat down at the dining table and waited for the chef to serve the dishes.Several dishes were clattering, and of course the most important thing was the big pot of "beautiful soup".

Looking at the large and small claws pointing to the sky inside, Bai Xiuqi secretly thought that the effect of promoting lactation would be greater rather than supplementing the feet.

Still, it tasted pretty good.

This pot of soup, Jiang Chenglu, was named for Bai Xiuqi to enjoy, while he himself still had porridge and side dishes, simple and unadorned.The two of them sat quietly facing each other for a minute, and Yao Mozi came out again.

Jiang Chenglu took a mouthful of porridge, and asked abruptly, "Aside from this one who is on first base and second base, what else do ordinary people do when they are dating?"

Bai Xiuqi almost choked in his throat after taking a mouthful of soup, it's been a whole night, why is this guy still thinking about this problem?

It seems that this question is not difficult to answer, but Bai Xiuqi thought about it again. I did have some female companions over the years, but they were not so much lovers as they were friends with benefits. Intervene in each other's lives, so it seems that it cannot be called communication.

However, if you haven't eaten pork, at least you have seen pigs walking.According to the social network information and the few love story films he has seen, Bai Xiuqi can still barely outline the general trajectory of a normal relationship.

"Well, it should be a date. Go to a place that both of you like to go, and take the opportunity to learn about each other's life background, hobbies, and behavior habits."

"Oh. Then let's go to your grandfather's grave another day." Jiang Chenglu nodded: "What next?"

"...Gifts. Treat any holiday as Valentine's Day. Men give women flowers and jewelry, women give men ties and lighters."

"You gave me a lot of clothes, and I gave you a dragon soul, which is considered jewelry. Then?" Jiang Chenglu rubbed his chin and narrowed his eyes, as if he had a sense of superiority in the role.

"..." Bai Xiuqi suppressed it for a few seconds before saying the word "get out": "Then it is divided into two situations. The first is to live together before proposing marriage, and the second is to propose marriage and then live together."

Jiang Chenglu looked surprised: "Then we are the first type, so we have already reached this step without knowing it?"

"If we're having sex, everyone who lives in a university dormitory should get a marriage certificate."

Bai Xiuqi still didn't hold back his complaints, but then he thought that it would be better for Jiang Chenglu to be a little aware of this, rather than unintentionally teasing him all day long.

He sorted out his emotions and corrected the expression on his face: "Speak seriously, do you remember when I said I was going to move here? I plan to do it in a few days. Empty everything, and then find someone from the decoration company to come over..."

"No problem." Jiang Chenglu agreed very happily: "We will go to the next door in a while and see what happens to those sundries."

Now Bai Xiuqi was a little surprised - he originally thought that Jiang Chenglu would not agree to other people coming to decorate such a sensitive and hidden place in Xuanjing Apartment, but what?

Just as he was thinking about this, he heard Jiang Chenglu attach a proviso.

"But you also know that the Xuanjing Apartment is so special. Ordinary decoration companies have to spend the night in the venue, right? If they see those soul fires at night, it won't work, so the decoration team must be found by me, agree? "

Bai Xiuqi was stunned: "Why, you still know the decoration team?"

"I know you. The sister and brother Huayang across the street and the Taobao store downstairs were all built by that decoration team."

"That said, it seems to be really..."

It was only then that Bai Xiuqi remembered that there were indeed a few houses in the apartment that had been renovated, and looking at Hua Yinyang's studio, it felt pretty good.It's just that the decoration team who can get Jiang Chenglu's approval and settle in Xuanjing Apartment is probably not an ordinary person, right?

So Bai Xiuqi adopted Jiang Chenglu's suggestion, but strongly asked him to first disclose the true identity of the employees in the decoration team.

"Hehe, you'll know when they come." Jiang Chenglu smiled.

Under Jiang Chenglu's introduction, the designer of the decoration company agreed to come to the apartment tonight to meet with Bai Xiuqi for a detailed discussion.In the afternoon, their task is to check the miscellaneous utensils next door, and mark them by category for cleaning.

According to Jiang Chenglu, the things placed on the second floor were basically harmless second-hand goods.The spirits or ghosts living in it either practiced Taoism, or got rid of the knots in their hearts and then entered reincarnation.It's just that although they have left, there is still some spiritual power remaining on the utensils.Therefore, when human beings come into contact with these artifacts, they will still be affected to some extent, and they can only wait for the spiritual power to dissipate on their own in a matter of time.

After listening to his explanation, Bai Xiuqi looked at these things in the room thoughtfully: "So...that Jade Buddha is really jade?"

"Really, and it's the treasure that Sun Dianying stole from Cixi's tomb." Jiang Chenglu smiled: "Do you believe it?"

"I believe you big-headed ghost." Bai Xiuqi retorted, and asked again: "Some things in it look pretty good, I want to use it again, is that okay?"

"It depends on the situation. Some of them I can manually force out the spiritual power. Some of them will be damaged if I forcefully operate the utensils. It's not necessary."

After the discussion, the inventory work officially started.Bai Xiuqi sat at the door, and Jiang Chenglu took a chalk and drew circles on the utensils in the room to take notes.They originally thought it was a great thing to have one or two hundred things stuffed in this room, but after counting, they found that there were as many as 520 or [-] things.Many things are big inside small ones, and small ones are inside small ones, and there are many unexpected surprises hidden in them.

After finally completing all the markings, the whole afternoon slipped away.After the inventory was over, Bai Xiuqi kept 31 of them, but Jiang Chenglu did not remove the rest immediately.

"Just kidding, how can I bear it alone? Don't worry, it will definitely be cleaned up before the designer arrives."

Saying that, the two of them returned to the house next door. Looking at the watch, it was already [-]:[-] in the evening, so Jiang Chenglu started busy preparing dinner again.

With nothing else to do, Bai Xiuqi took out a pen and paper and wanted to draw some conceptual drawings of the future studio, but he didn't have any big ideas for a while, so he simply turned on the TV at the foot of the bed.

Yes, Jiang Chenglu's house has a TV.It's just a miniature box TV that was popular in the 90s.The signal is poor, the picture quality is hazy, and the most important thing is that I can't receive a few channels, which is almost a visual radio level.

Now, Bai Xiuqi heard something closely related to him on this advanced radio.

Accompanied by snowflakes and rustling noises, the voice of a provincial TV anchorwoman broadcast a report——

"The murder happened by the canal last night. The director Wang Ti was unfortunately killed. According to the surveillance records on the scene, the police locked the suspect, Zhou Yiliang, the CEO of Yizhong Network. When everyone was still immersed in shock and confusion, today In the afternoon, there was a new development in the case: According to people familiar with the matter, around [-]:[-] this afternoon, Zhou Yiliang was seen disguised and walked into the sky tower, a landmark building in this city. He was also carrying a large bag with him. The possibility of installing explosives. At present, the police have started evacuation and investigation of the crowd in the building."

Jiang Chenglu, who was busy making soup, also turned his head: "The Skytree? Isn't it the place where you took me to buy clothes and cut my hair that day?"
