Three Realms Sanatorium

Gu Shi couldn't believe it.

No, looking at Xie Jiusi's monstrous aura, he can be called a big monster. Maybe he is the kind of old monster who just woke up from a nap for hundreds of thousands of years, which is not uncommon among monsters.

Oh, thinking about it this way, it seems normal for the old monster to be confused about the modern situation.

Gu Shi quickly accepted this fact, and struck while the iron was hot: "Then Mr. Xie, my treatment..."

"?" Xie Jiusi looked puzzled, "Mr. Xie?"

"Ah, this is the respectful title humans have for leaders nowadays, and I'm used to it." Gu Shi explained.

Hearing this, Xie Jiusi looked at Gu Shi with pity and compassion on his face.

They are used to addressing humans with honorific titles. It really is not easy for weak monsters to survive among humans.

As he thought about it, he patted Gu Shi's shoulder again, and said comfortingly, "Thanks for your hard work."

Gu Shi: "?"

Why are you working hard again?

Gu Shi couldn't figure it out, and reiterated: "Well, the issue of treatment..."

Xie Jiusi once again showed the expression of being poked into a blind spot of knowledge: "Treatment?"

"Yes, remuneration." Gu Shi began to output, "It is my specific position, responsibilities, basic salary, commission, subsidy, board and lodging, overtime, vacation arrangements, promotion space, etc."

Xie Jiusi: "..."

Gu Shi: "?"

Xie Jiusi looked at Gu Shi, and Gu Shi looked at Xie Jiusi.

The two looked at each other.

Gu Shi shouted, "Mr. Xie?"

Xie Jiusi's expression gradually became serious.

Oops.

It was something he hadn't touched since he woke up.

Xie Jiu thought for a while: "You and I are of the same clan, so we will count according to the highest standard."

Gu Shi:? ? ?

"...That's not necessary." Gu Shi's conscience struggled to pop his head out and took a breath, "Just give me the starting salary standard, I don't have work experience, your salary here is already many times the starting salary outside gone."

As soon as Gu Shi finished speaking, Xie Jiusi looked at him with more compassion.

"You don't have to be so careful." Xie Jiusi said, "Human beings can no longer hurt you."

Gu Shi: "..."

ah?Ah this?What?

"That's it." Xie Jiusi said, took out a notice from the drawer, and was about to sign it.

"No, no, no!" Gu Shi hurriedly stopped him, and said the voice of the capitalist's favorite old scalper with an upright face, "My ability is not worthy of such a salary, but I will try my best to meet the salary increase standard. When the time comes Give me a raise!"

Xie Jiusi looked at Gu Shi in astonishment.

Gu Shi said loudly: "I stick to my idea!"

Xie Jiusi showed appreciation and nodded: "Yes."

He signed the notice, put the official seal on it, and handed it to Gu Shi: "You fill it out by yourself and come over tomorrow."

Gu Shi held this notice with no numbers filled in except for the boss's signature and official seal, and his feet fluttered as he walked.

……

There are no public minibuses during this time period. Fortunately, Gu Shi has good physical strength and the mountain is not too steep. It is not difficult for him to climb two mountains along the road with his feet.

He took the notice and jumped up the last step of the walkway, ran into the courtyard like a rabbit, and went straight to the kitchen.

"Old man!" Gu Shi kicked open the kitchen door, "I'm looking for a job!"

"That's not for sure?" Gu Xiuming sneered, "Can't you trust your master's divination?"

Gu Shi suddenly felt dull: "It's no wonder that the old fortune teller doesn't have a sense of surprise."

"Hey? Are you still disgusted?" The tongs in Gu Xiuming's hand clicked.

Gu Shi was not afraid at all, and stepped into the kitchen.

There was a fire burning in the small stove in the kitchen, and a casserole was hanging on the fire, and the soup in the pot was gurgling against the lid.

"Oh, with this posture, what kind of vegetable soup is it today?" Gu Shi said, stepping forward to push Gu Xiuming away from the fire in front of the stove, and lit the big stove.

Gu Xiuming gave Gu Shi a backhand: "Cordyceps flower chicken soup!"

Gu Shi covered his head and was stunned for two seconds: "What the hell?"

Gu Xiuming: "Cordyceps Flower Chicken Soup!"

Gu Shi suddenly panicked: "Old man, are you okay? Are you sick? Have a good meal before you leave?"

"Stinky boy, can't you think of something good?!" Gu Xiuming didn't have a ruler at hand, so he took out a stick of firewood and waved the wind, "Would you like to eat it or not!"

"Eat, eat, eat!" Gu Shi's little chicken pecked at the rice.

Gu Xiuming rolled up his sleeves and cut the vegetables in a smooth manner: "How is the treatment over there?"

Gu Shi added a bunch of firewood to the stove: "No matter what, the starting salary is [-], without commission, tax deducted and bits and pieces of subsidies, no matter what you get every month, you'll be in the early [-]s. We can eat meat every meal, and then renovate our house..."

Ah, it's very suitable when you think about it.

Gu Xiuming paused while chopping vegetables, and said, "What are you renovating? No one lives there except the two of us, and few people will come. Why don't you give more money to the orphanage at the foot of the mountain."

"I won't." Gu Shi groaned, "Hey, I'm happy with my money."

Gu Xiuming chopped the knife into the chopping board with a "snap": "Little trash doesn't hit the house for three days!"

Gu Shi raised the tongs in his hand defensively, extremely vigilant: "You hit me tomorrow!"

Gu Xiuming choked up, took out the kitchen knife cursingly, and continued to chop vegetables.

"That's right old man."

"Fuck away!"

"Can you tell me about my boss?" Gu Shi asked, "He should be a very powerful monster named Xie Jiusi."

Gu Xiuming was surprised: "Are you still asking the monster for a hexagram?"

"No, I fooled him, I have a guilty conscience." Gu Shi touched his conscience, "Help me see if there is anything I can do for him, I don't want to owe him favors."

Gu Xiuming didn't ask too much, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Yes."

The father and father ate their first meat meal in 46 days, and Gu Shi was so moved that he almost burst into tears.

He returned to the house after washing the dishes, and solemnly wrote the salary figure and entry date on the notice with a 12-pious heart.

Gu Xiuming knocked on the door outside: "There is no more firewood, go and chop some!"

"Got it, got it!" Gu Shi flattened the notice and put it away, carried the firewood basket on his back, took a sickle and went up the mountain from the south gate of Cangwu Temple.

Going up the path along the side peak of the South Gate, you will pass a small pavilion overlooking the entire Cangwu Temple.

Gu Shi stood in the pavilion and poked his head, and at a glance he saw Gu Xiuming holding a sickle, leaning over to clean up the weeds growing in front of the Sanqing Palace.

Gu Shi, who has lived here since he was a child, knows how hard it is to maintain a Taoist temple covering an area of ​​more than 70 mu.

Building maintenance, debris removal, environmental protection... everything costs money.

But the Cangwu Temple has long since lost its glory. Even other Taoist temples almost choose to sell talismans and ritual products to maintain incense and life.

In fact, Gu Xiuming also has a unique skill of fortune-telling, but I don't know what he thinks, he will not sell this skill, and rely on a few old believers to send some money every month to live.

That little money is not enough to maintain the operation of Cangwu Temple.

Now there are only him and Gu Xiuming left, and they have done their best to take care of the five main halls, and the few side halls and courtyards have long been deserted.

Gu Shi has never seen what it was like when Cangwu was looking at the glory.He could only occasionally see Gu Xiuming going to those barren courtyards, caressing the faded doors and walls one by one, looking at those decayed carved beams and painted buildings, with a shame on his face, sitting in a daze for a whole day.

Gu Shi felt that Gu Xiuming wanted to protect this place well.

The old man never said anything, and pretended that no one else could tell.

White hair and white beard, too old to learn to speak straight, not cute at all.

Gu Shi withdrew his gaze, turned his head and walked up the mountain.

The mountains and fields in September are like a treasure house.

There are ripe fruits everywhere, the air is filled with the aroma of natural fermentation, and experienced people can dig out some precious mushrooms from the soil.

Gu Shi picked up dead branches and chopped two bundles of firewood, tied them with tough withered vines, and turned around to find truffles all over the ground.

This is the best season for white truffles.

He can dig a little and sell it for money.

Gu Xiuming finished dealing with the weeds in front of the Sanqing Palace, but Gu Shi hasn't come back yet.

He bathed and burned incense, finished the hexagram, and walked out of the house, just in time to see Gu Shi who came back from the south gate.

Gu Xiuming's expression was serious.

Gu Shi was carrying firewood on his back, carrying a few pieces of white truffles covered in mud, and seeing Gu Xiuming's rare serious expression, he hesitated: "What's wrong?"

"Little trash, don't make noise." Gu Xiuming said, "I'm thinking about whether we should move. I'm afraid we can't take this land."

Gu Shi was shocked: "That won't work, the most valuable thing in our body is the land deed on this hill!"

"Is there anything else on your mind besides money?!" Gu Xiuming was furious, and raised his hand to grab Gu Shi's ear, "Do you know who you made the old man think about?!"

"If you don't, I'll thank you for the pain, pain, pain, pain!"

"Xie Jiu, who put your fart on, hurts, hurts, hurts! Is that Xie Jiu hurts?! That's Zhong Shan's mountain god!"

"Ah, isn't this a mountain god?"

Before Gu Shi finished speaking, he felt that Gu Xiuming's hand was a little stronger, as if he was going to grab his ears directly.

Gu Shi took a deep breath: "Woo———Take it easy, it's going to fall, it's really going to fall!"

"I knew you kid didn't do your homework seriously!" Gu Xiuming was about to die of rage, "The mountain god of Zhongshan is Zhuyin! Candleyin, do you understand?! Treat it as day, shut it up as night, blow it into winter, and breathe out For summer, don’t drink, don’t eat, don’t rest, breath is wind![1] It’s the power that can stir up the seasons of the sun and the moon, you let me play his hexagrams! Really belong to you!”

Gu Shi was stunned.

His voice became quieter instantly, and he said submissively, "Then...then I don't know either!"

Gu Xiuming grabbed his cowardly loser apprentice, thinking about what to do.

Although it is usually not discovered, according to the rules, it is a big offense to make a divination without asking others.

Gu Xiuming rarely does this kind of thing, and only when Gu Shi speaks up does he make an exception once or twice.

Who knew that these two cases directly hit the iron plate.

With a great power like Zhuyin, if you pay a little attention, you will definitely be able to detect that someone is secretly counting him.

Forget it, we can't delay any longer.

Run now!

Go to Daguanli to ask for blessings!

Gu Xiuming made up his mind, and couldn't help but give the money-losing apprentice a brain break.

Xie Jiusi dismissed the few remaining interviewees today, picked up the resume left by Gu Shi, glanced at it, and saw the contact address above—Cangwu Temple, Qufeng, Zhongshan, Zhongshan, Haibei District, City B.

Xie Jiu thought for a moment, and looked intently at his territory.

In the Taoist temple two hills away, an old Taoist priest in a Taoist robe was grabbing Gu Shi's ear and cursing and lecturing, as if Huang Shiren was oppressing innocent Xi'er in broad daylight.

Xie Jiusi put the resume in his hand heavily on the table.

what?

Was this little monster still caught by a Taoist priest? !

The author has something to say:

Dangerous!
