The daily life of the fortune teller who was forced to open business

"I'm back." Nan Shi rubbed his arms without any trace, and said something. Although it's been two months since he lived here, he still panicked—after all, a normal person must live in every city. ... Cough, can you feel comfortable and at ease in an old house?

Standing next to the second door was a young man in an indigo jacket, with his spine slightly bent, looking very respectful: "The young master is back? The mountain master invites you to go."

Nan Shi touched his nose, trying not to pay attention to the other's pale face: "Then I'll go there now."

A Liang replied: "The owner of the mountain asked you to wash up first before going over."

"Oh." Nan Shi replied, turned around and walked to his room.

It was past midnight, yes, he knew, the moon was still high.

But for his senior brother, he should have just woken up right now, a standard 'I won't sleep if the moon doesn't sleep, and I'll continue dancing when the moon sleeps'.

Thinking of this, Nan couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, he saw through his senior brother's routine after living here for two weeks, and forcibly moved to live in a courtyard in the southwest. There was a corridor connecting his senior brother's residence there. Walk along the corridor It takes less than 3 minutes to arrive, otherwise, with the size of this ghost house, if he lives in the east courtyard originally allocated for him, it will take about ten minutes to walk to his senior brother's residence.

Not to mention that along the way, there will always be unexpected encounters with various servants and servants who walk silently.

Nan Shi returned to his room, not in a hurry, he took a good shower, and wiped off all the coldness left on his body after running wildly just now.

Under his strong request, his room is modernized, with floor heating, air-conditioning, TV, and wifi. Except that the doors and windows are inevitably ancient, everything else looks like an ordinary house.

While washing, the door was knocked four times. Nan Shi answered "Come in" in the bathroom, and the door opened. A woman in a light blue ancient dress lowered her eyebrows and stared at the door hanging outside the bathroom. He put away all the dirty clothes on the chair, hung the newly made clothes in the closet, and quietly retreated out.

With the sound of the door closing, Nan Shi breathed a sigh of relief, concentrated on washing himself thoroughly, put on his quilted pajamas, and rushed to his senior brother's place.

"Senior brother, it's me, Nan Shi." Nan Shi knocked on the door three times, and after getting permission, he entered the door respectfully, bowed and saluted: "Senior brother, invite me?"

Chi You seemed to have just woken up, reading a book with a green lamp leaning on the bed, and when he saw Nan Shi coming in, he raised his eyes and looked up, with a vague smile on his lips: "You're back?"

He got up and walked to the table to sit down, his wide clothes passing by on the ground, he beckoned to Nan Shi: "Come and sit."

Nan Shi nodded and sat at the table. After he sat down, two maidservants in blue came in with a few stacks of dishes. Chi You casually picked up the chopsticks: "It's nothing, use some with me." .”

"Oh." Nan Shi also relaxed, and said with a smile, "I just happen to be a little hungry too."

"I guess so." Chi You smiled, and said with deep meaning: "You've worked hard today."

Nan Shi picked out a bowl of fish noodle soup and ate it deliciously, and said vaguely, "It's okay."

"It's okay during the day, but I met a younger sister on the way home... Girl, ask me to figure out how her pet is."

His senior brother listened with interest: "Then how do you figure it out?"

Nan Shi just thought it was uncomfortable to eat bare noodles, but unfortunately there were no toppings that he liked on the table, and when he flipped his chopsticks over, two large ribs came out from under the noodle bowl, one braised in soy sauce, one deep-fried, and deep-fried The piece of noodle coat is soaked in the soup, it is fragrant and moist to the bite, and the gravy and soup are perfectly combined.

He swallowed a mouthful of meat and replied: "...It's okay? That cat is very affectionate, and the divinatory image should be guarding her grave. I didn't dare to explain it too clearly. The one on the street made a girl cry like a dog. …It’s not very good to cry like a cat, so let her follow the direction to find it.”

"That's good." His senior brother responded lightly, and put down his chopsticks: "Okay, there's nothing else to do, go back to sleep after eating."

"Okay, thank you, brother." Nan Shi speeded up and finished eating the noodles, wiped his mouth, and left.

Before leaving the door, he heard his senior brother say leisurely: "In the future, if you have nothing to do, do more activities. Don't sit in the store all day long without moving. It's not good for your health."

Nan Shi's footsteps paused, and he said without turning his head: "Understood, brother, I'm going back to sleep."

After saying that, he went out, maybe because he couldn't restrain himself, the door closed a little loudly.

Then Nan Shi heard laughter from inside.

He rolled his eyes at the sky carelessly - he knew it!That girl kept silent from the beginning to scare him on purpose!

Isn't it just sitting in the store and playing games all afternoon!As for deliberately letting a ghost chase him for at least 800 meters to force him to exercise? !As for? !

That being said, Nan Shi honestly set an alarm clock every hour on his phone, reminding himself to get up and walk around after sitting for an hour, to look at the sky, so as not to be chased by ghosts on the way home from get off work at night.

The servants along the way retreated one after another when they saw Nanshi approaching, and those who couldn't avoid it stopped on both sides of the corridor, bowed their heads and knelt, waiting for him to pass before walking.

Nan Shi has always been very cooperative and pretended not to see them. Today, he didn't know why, but he suddenly felt bad, stopped a servant at random, and ordered: "By the way, go and tell the mountain master, don't use candles for reading. That thing flickers, it’s not good for your eyes—it’s in the middle of the night, what kind of books are you reading! You don’t need to be the champion, so don’t work so hard.”

At Chi You's age, not to mention being the champion in the college entrance examination, he is not even required in the adult college entrance examination.

After hearing this, the servant raised his obviously confused face and asked, "Master, did you tell the mountain master exactly?"

Nan Shi paused, gritted his teeth and said, "No, just say the first half of the sentence."

"Yes." The servant replied, and was about to go to his senior brother's yard, but was stopped by Nan Shi again: "...Forget it, his eyes are not bad anyway, don't talk, go get busy Bar."

"Yes." The servant was a little puzzled, but he continued to do his own business obediently.

A vague laughter came from behind Nan Shi, and Nan Shi shouted: "Don't laugh."

The female voice stopped instantly: "Yes, young master."

A blue-clothed maid slowly came out from the shadow beside the bushes, holding a tray in her hand and covering it with a white cloth: "Master, the mountain master ordered me to give this to you as a thank-you gift from the guest."

Nan Shi's eyelids twitched, this is the big maid next to his senior brother, named Qinghe.He held up a finger and said very seriously, "You didn't hear anything just now, did you?"

Qinghe said with a smile: "The servant has just arrived, I don't know what the young master is referring to?"

"Very good." Nan Shi reached out and opened the white cloth, and found that inside the tray was a pack of cat food, the kind that had leaked air, and a note was pasted on it, saying: Feed the wild cats.

At a glance, he knew it was the handwriting of the girl in red, waved his hand and said, "Take it outside the door and feed it to the wild cats."

"Yes."

Seeing Qinghe's leaving figure, Nan Shi couldn't help cursing in his heart - how could he not hold back his mouth!Can't you go back to your room and scold me again!Now it's all right, let his senior brother know how to torment him later!

It's over.

***

In the next day, the sky was bright - at about six o'clock, Nan Shi was called up.

Qinglan, the blue-clothed maidservant in his room, stared at a face that was bleeding from all seven apertures, and it was almost as if she had kissed him cheek to cheek. Nan Shi was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak for a long time, and just looked at her quietly.

Qinglan looked at it for a while, then suddenly smiled, a stream of blood gushed from the edge of her eye sockets, and it was about to drip onto Nanshi's quilt.

Nan Shi subconsciously pulled the quilt: "Don't! This is my favorite quilt cover!"

The blood on Qinglan's face disappeared suddenly, revealing a handsome and beautiful face: "Young Master, don't blame, the Lord of the Mountain said that you must get used to it."

Nan Shi covered his eyes, and said angrily, "I really appreciate him...thank him!"

Thankfully, he swallowed the word 'damn' just in time.

After completing the task, Qing Lan started to get busy. Everyone in the house knew that Nan Shi was afraid of ghosts, so she hung the clothes she was going to wear today within Nan Shi's reach, and then quietly retreated.

Nan Shi stared at her and saw her go, so he breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his frightened heart, lay down and slept for another three hours, waited until the sun was hot in the sky, then got up to change clothes and eat After dinner, go to work.

It's not that he's not diligent, it's mainly that someone who is out traveling has nothing to do and comes to the pedestrian street early in the morning!

All of them open at ten o'clock in that area, and those who are a little lazy may open at noon or at night.

The newly made gown is silver-gray, embroidered with two poles of bamboo of the same color, and looks like one word—expensive.

Nan Shi was quite used to it, so he put it on silently, took the keys and got out to work.

Generally speaking, a house that has been closed for a night will always have some smells, especially in Nanshi's shops where there are some antiques bought from street stalls. There is a strange smell, so the first thing he does when he arrives at the shop every day is to open the door to ventilate.

It was not the case today, as soon as he entered the shop, the shop was clean, and a stick of incense was lit on the reception room where Nanshi stayed most often, and the old sandalwood fragrance was faintly exuding, which smelled very good.

Nan Shi was stunned, did he not close the window when he came home yesterday?impossible?Could it be that it was stolen?

Just as he was about to check if he had lost something, a red shadow suddenly appeared in a dark corner beside him. Because of the early morning incident, and it was still broad daylight, Nanshi was not particularly flustered, he could tell when he took a closer look It was the girl from yesterday.

The girl smiled and said: "Sir, don't be afraid, I'm here to clean it - I have nothing to thank you for, I have given my mother all the money from the bank card, so I can only clean it up for you. I just think it's okay to put the cat food away." It's a pity, can you feed me?"

"Hey." Nan Shi collected himself: "Did you find your cat?"

"I found it." The girl's skirt swayed, and a skinny orange cat came out of it, jumped into the girl's arms, and rubbed against her body tenderly.She looked very satisfied, and patted the cat's head: "This bastard is so hungry that he has lost his face, and he will have to raise it for a while later. Fortunately, this time we will not be separated again."

"That's good." Nan Shi also saw that the cat was no longer a living thing, so he didn't ask any more questions, and she unconsciously brought out a smile: "Take care of it well, it is said that cats have no heart, this one I look very conscientious."

The girl stuck out her tongue, but she accidentally stuck it to her chest. She quickly stuffed it back into her mouth: "Sorry, sorry, I didn't control it well... Well, I didn't see it before."

"Sir, I will take my enemy to report tonight." The girl smiled slightly, as if she had thought of something, and said, "Don't worry, my enemy's family has been locked up in the bureau now. It's still pretty nasty!"

"Apart from cleaning for you, I'm here today to introduce a client to you."

The girl blinked, this time it was fine, she didn't pop her eyes out: "That's my grandpa's friend, come tonight, just close the door later."

"...? No, I don't..."

"Sir, don't refuse. We all understand the rules. No one dares to make trouble with the owner of the mountain." After saying that, the girl hugged the cat and thanked Nan Shi again, then disappeared.

Nan Shi sat down in the chair with a snap, rubbing his brows with a headache.

People can't, at least they shouldn't... Thousands of words can be summed up in one sentence: You don't have to!
