Three Realms Sanatorium

Gu Shi felt that there was something wrong with Xie Jiusi.

He kept silent, watching Xie Jiusi slowly finish the whole menu plus the snacks he brought back.

——Except for the stinky tofu.

Gu Shi simply took the stinky tofu, opened it and ate a piece.

Xie Jiusi turned his head to look over, his eyes seemed to be observing a mouse that had just been injected with medicine.

Seeing that he didn't intend to eat, Gu Shi simply ate the whole portion and smacked his lips: "It won't taste so good when it's cold."

Xie Jiusi thinks hot pot skewers are good.

Gu Shi looked at the messy tabletop they had made, picked up his backpack, and led Xie Jiusi out of the store, planning to take him to the bar to learn more.

Xie Jiusi followed behind Gu Shi, and the cool autumn night wind swept away the pungentness lingering on the tip of his nose, and brought a new sweetness.

Xie Jiusi followed the smell, hesitated for a moment, and walked towards the booth.

Gu Shi turned around and found that Xie Jiusi was gone.

Gu Shi:? ? ?

He froze for two seconds and panicked.

This ancestor must not be lost!

Gu Shi climbed up the stone steps next to him and looked around, and found Xie Jiusi in front of a stall selling sugar oil cakes.

The stall owner was a middle-aged man with a red face, shouting business in a loud voice, and he didn't seem to feel the instinctive threat brought by Xie Jiusi.

Gu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, jumped down the stone steps, walked through the crowd, and saw Xie Jiusi under the guidance of the stall owner, scanning the QR code to pay in a strange and clumsy way, then turned around and bumped into him with a portion of sugar oil cake he.

"Gu Shi." Xie Jiusi called him, and showed Gu Shi what was in his hand, with a little pride in his tone, "I bought it."

Ah that's it?

Can you be proud of this?

Gu Shi was silent for a moment, then boasted: "Well, you are really amazing!"

Xie Jiusi seemed a little happier. He lowered his head and ate a piece of sugar oil cake, and found that the sweetness was quite pleasing.

Xie Jiusi ate another piece, his words were a bit ambiguous because of the sweet and sticky glutinous rice: "That human just now is not afraid of me."

Hearing this, Gu Shi turned his head and glanced at the stall owner: "It seems to be true."

As soon as they finished speaking, they looked around again and found that the crowd was still subconsciously avoiding Xie Jiusi.

The two of them couldn't figure out why this happened for a while, they walked along the crowd, Xie Jiusi saw a cold-eating rabbit family, but turned around and disappeared.

Before Gu Shi could bring Xie Jiusi into the bar, he just watched Xie Jiusi's gesture of scanning the QR code change from unfamiliar to familiar, and finally to dexterous.

Gu Shi: "..."

Xie Jiusi came back with a large portion of Bo Bo Chicken, and said, "That human is not afraid of me."

Gu Shi paused: "...Well, I probably know why."

Xie Jiusi: "Huh?"

Gu Shi looked at Xie Jiusi's hand full of large bowls of chicken: "Probably because of the money."

Money can turn ghosts around, now it's just about overcoming the inner fear.

Rabbits still dare to step on eagles, but when people become more courageous, what are monsters?

Gu Shi remembered that the few ordinary people who had interviewed with him before were also shocked when they met Xie Jiusi for the first time, but no one retreated because of this.

In that environment, they presumably mistook fear for nervousness.

Gu Shi asked: "For example, the few times you interviewed, did people scare you away when they saw you?"

Xie Jiusi found out that there really wasn't one.

Although everyone was talking to him with instinctive fear, there was really no example of being so scared that they turned around and left.

Xie Jiusi: "Because of money?"

Gu Shi nodded: "Because of money."

Xie Jiusi was thoughtful, and then he was taken away by the duck blood vermicelli soup.

Gu Shi: "..."

Aren't you falling faster than anyone else? !

When Xie Jiusi had eaten half the street and was about to go down the half street, Gu Shi looked at the time and reached out and grabbed Xie Jiusi's sleeve.

Xie Jiusi paused and turned his head: "?"

Gu Shi: "We should go back, if we don't go we won't be able to catch the last bus."

Xie Jiusi looked at the handful of toasted butter in his hand, and didn't want to leave now: "I can take you back by shrinking to an inch."

Gu Shi's face was full of pain: "Be sober, Mr. Xie, don't fall into the trap of human beings! The nightlife has begun to corrode your spirit, don't you feel it?!"

Xie Jiusi was slightly taken aback, and only then did he realize that he was led by all kinds of food, and his expression suddenly became serious.

He almost lost himself just now!

The means of human beings are so terrifying!

Xie Jiusi walked out of the food street following Gu Shi's strength, finished the roasted butter in his hand with a solemn expression, and then corrected Gu Shi: "Don't call Mr. Xie, call me by my name."

Gu Shi: "...Xie Jiusi."

Xie Jiusi nodded, looked back at the fragrant food street, and felt the reluctance in his heart, so he became alert instantly.

The means of human beings have reached such a point that they invaded his spirit without anyone noticing!

Xie Jiusi frowned, thinking that it was nothing to worry about, he had to ask Shang Di Ting to come over and investigate.

After making this decision, he grabbed Gu Shi's wrist with his backhand and pulled him into a dark corner.

Gu Shi was dragged staggeringly, only felt his eyes go dark, and when his eyes got used to the darkness, what he saw was the familiar mountain gate.

"Go back." Xie Jiusi gently pushed Gu Shi from behind.

"Thank you." Gu Shishun took two steps forward, stopped again, and turned around to say good night to Xie Jiusi, but found that he had disappeared.

Xie Jiusi returned to the Three Realms Academy with a mind full of messy thoughts about human beings.

As soon as I came in, I found that the gang of old things in the Three Realms Courtyard were too noisy.

With a glance of his divine light, he saw that Li Shuzui was arguing with Bi Fang. The content of the quarrel was about the plan that Gu Shi had mentioned to him earlier - let them contact humans first, get familiar with humans, understand the rules of humans, and then enter the human world. In society, get more information from all walks of life.

Xie Jiusi knew that Gu Shi's starting point was just to hope that these old goblins could find a reasonable source of income, and not let the sanatorium be closed after a random inspection.

But as Gu Shi said, these ancient monsters look down on humans, and they don't pay attention to human methods, even if they have already suffered a small loss.

And Gu Shi found the wrong person to announce the news.

Li shut up, this speaker has no petty grudges with anyone, he can't.

Even Gu Shi himself said it was better than Li shutting up.

Xie Jiu thought about it, and simply moved the uninjured monsters together.

Li Shuzui was arguing with Bi Fang, and in a blink of an eye, he realized that he had changed places.

Xie Jiusi sat on the main seat, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and raised his chin to all the monsters present: "Sit."

A group of monsters frowned tightly, and few of them had a good face: "What's the matter?"

"I went to a human city today." Xie Jiusi recounted his experience and feelings at the night market today, "I think we really need to understand the human beings today."

The monsters present fell silent: "..."

After a long period of stagnation, Di Ting took the lead in agreeing: "Bai Ze did say that we should get in touch with human beings more. After all, we have fallen into such a situation, and we are inseparable from human beings."

"No." Qiongqi showed a bit of interest on his face, ready to move, "I want to go to the place that Zhuyin said first."

Xie Jiu thought for a while: "Then they all go."

Before he finished his lingering sound, his hand had already been cut, and the whole hall suddenly became empty and silent.

……

Gu Shi returned to Cangwu Temple, and went to the kitchen first to have a look.

The dinner left in the pot for the old man was gone, but the door of the divination room was still closed.

It doesn't matter, it's good to eat.

Gu Shi heaved a sigh of relief, poured water into the pot, lit the pot to heat up, took some sweet potatoes and corn from the cellar, and steamed them, so that Gu Xiuming could eat ready-made ones when he had a break.

After finishing these, Gu Shi washed up and fell asleep.

The next day, as soon as Gu Shi got off the minibus, he was caught by Xie Jiusi who was waiting at the gate of the nursing home, and he was dragged onto the bus that was parked aside.

Gu Shi didn't even realize it. He got in the car and took a look, and found that there was a mess lying on the bus, full of monsters.

Gu Shi was stunned: "What's the matter?"

Xie Jiusi was silent for a moment: "I took them to the night market last night."

Gu Shi: "?"

"In order to find out the flaws of human magic, we conducted an in-depth understanding of the night market."

Gu Shi: "??"

"I also went to some KTVs, foot baths, and bars next to the night market." Xie Jiusi emphasized, "I was on guard and reminded them, but it didn't help."

Gu Shi: "."

OK, okay, stop talking, I understand.

So you went to the night market for the first team building, and the group gave it for nothing.

Gu Shi pointed to the gang of big monsters who smelled like salted fish all over their bodies: "Go to a night market, isn't it like this?"

Xie Jiusi pursed his thin lips slightly: "Human beings are becoming more and more proficient in brewing wine, and they are greedy."

Gu Shi: Grass.

But it really is yours.

Gu Shi: "Then this is now?"

Xie Jiusi replied: "To learn about human cubs."

This means directly taking over the hot potato from the operation department.

"...You guys are moving too fast." Gu Shi opened his mouth, "Actually, you can find those little monsters who are willing to contribute and enter their accounts, so that the source of income can be justified, but I haven't had time to contact them yet. Say it."

"No!" Di Ting, who was paralyzed at the rear of the car, jumped up, "Leave this kind to the injured. I'm a little interested in human beings now."

Sporadic voices of approval came from the car here and there.

Gu Shi thought it was ok, and then felt the car start.

Gu Shi was taken aback, then turned to look at Xie Jiusi: "I want to go too?"

Xie Jiusi nodded: "You know humans very well."

"Okay." Gu Shi simply nodded.

Today, he was going to contact the little monsters who contributed capital and discuss with them how to deal with the accounts, but this matter can't be rushed, and it's not a big problem to let it go a little bit.

"Where is the destination today?" Gu Shi asked.

Xie Jiusi looked at the driver in front.

It was only then that Gu Shi realized that the driver was also a monster, but he looked extremely weak and pitiful among a bunch of big monsters.

"Go to the Shannan Welfare Institute."

Gu Shi was slightly startled: "Oh, Shannan."

Xie Jiusi looked over: "You know?"

Gu Shi nodded: "I know, the old man has a good heart."

Xie Jiusi: "?"

Gu Shi smiled, but didn't mean to explain.

Shannan Children's Welfare Institute is the place where Gu Shi and Gu Xiuming's fate began.

Every time Gu Xiuming was persuaded by Gu Shi to give less money to Shannan Orphanage, he would always talk to him.

He said that in the bitterly cold November 20 years ago, a weak and lonely child appeared in front of his eyes, at the corner of the wall of the Shannan Welfare Institute, disheveled and disheveled, helpless and pitiful.

Gu Xiuming happened to pass by at that time and picked up Xiao Gu Shi into the orphanage, but found that the child was not a member of the orphanage at all.

Some things, just pay attention to a fate.

At that time, there was no perfect surveillance, and there were no adults who abandoned children at all, and there were many loopholes that could be exploited in terms of procedures.

Gu Xiuming always said that his brain might have been blown numb by the wind at that time, so he asked the people from Shannan Welfare Institute to help him with the formalities, and put Gu Shi, a money-losing apprentice, into his household registration book.

But what Gu Xiuming said so disgustingly, has been giving money to the Shannan Welfare Institute for 20 years.

Gu Xiuming can get about 6000 yuan a month, of which [-] will be used for offering incense, [-] will be given to the Shannan Welfare Institute, and the remaining [-] can only be used for living.

Because Gu Xiuming still has to save Gu Shi's tuition.

If he didn't know that Gu Xiuming picked him up in Shannan, Gu Shi would have wondered if Gu Xiuming had a lover there.

Shannan Welfare Institute is not far from Zhongshan area.

Starting from the nursing home, drive south along the Panshan Highway for about [-] minutes, and you will be able to reach the counties around City B.

The Shannan Welfare Institute is located on the edge of the county. The conditions are not very good. The buildings are low, but the house and various facilities are kept clean.

When Gu Shi and the others arrived, they happened to bump into the teacher of the welfare home leading the children to finish the cleaning.

A dozen little radish heads lined up like the ducklings behind the mother duck, obediently asking the teacher to spray disinfectant and wash their hands.

When they saw the bus, they turned their heads in unison.

Gu Shi got off the bus and was about to go to the luggage compartment to pick up charity supplies when he was hit by a small shell from the yard.

Gu Shi sighed heavily, turned around, held the small cannonball rushing up under his armpit with his backhand, and weighed it.

Gu Shi tutted his tongue: "It's heavy again, the girl's family is so solid, it seems that the food is good."

The little girl who was lifted kicked Gu Shi's shoulder lightly, and said in a childish voice, "A good man shouldn't evaluate a girl's weight. Brother Shi, you can't find a girlfriend like this."

"What did the dean teach you?" Gu Shi rolled his eyes, put the child down, took the supplies, and handed them to the children who ran out in a swarm without hesitation, "Take it back yourself!"

The children each carried the supplies, but did not leave, looking curiously and timidly at the others who got off the car.

As soon as Xie Jiusi raised his foot, the little radish heads moved away like Moses dividing the sea, and each of them hid behind Gu Shi with their supplies bags.

Xie Jiusi glanced over them: "Are you familiar with this place?"

"Yes." Gu Shi didn't want to say more, he turned his head and drove the little radish heads into the yard, and said loudly, "Have you finished class today?"

"It's over!"

"Then let's play games with these brothers and sisters today." Gu Shi paused for a moment and changed his words.

Gu Shi led a large group of people, big and small, into the activity room, and took out a bunch of messy game props from the cabinet, including chess, military chess, flying chess, checkers, poker, and Monopoly.

He put this pile of things on several tables, looked up and showed a very bright smile to a group of old monsters who didn't understand the rules.

Gu Shi stroked those little heads that came closer, and then waved his hand, pointing at the group of old monsters.

"Little ones, crush them for me!"
