Shanhai Folklore Research Institute

"Well, I can go back by myself, thank you!"

Standing in the corridor, Lin Mian spoke earnestly. Although he didn't know what happened to being hired out of nowhere, he didn't want to trouble this person. He always felt that the next second he was going to ask why you didn't wait for me yesterday.

"Do you know who you are an assistant for?" Wu Ting suddenly asked him with a sideways glance.

Lin Mian suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Wu Ting pointed to himself.

Lin Mian was silent, and then he lay flat.

Wu Ting started the car in a good mood and fastened his seat belt. Lin Mian opened the rear door and saw Dean Wu pointing to the co-pilot's position.

God, what's wrong with the dean being the assistant's driver!

Assistant Lin said that he didn't understand the world of rich people very well.

After Lin Mian sat in, the distance between the two suddenly shortened, and Wu Ting felt the image rushing towards him again.

The rolling mountains, the trees full of white flowers, the boiling sun...

His heartbeat accelerated suddenly.

"Go straight at the intersection ahead, the speed limit is 30, you have exceeded the speed limit..." The awkward mixed broadcast of sister Zhilin and the mechanical female voice made Wu Ting's heartbeat instantly return to normal.

He stared at the second-hand Xiaomi phone on Lin Mian's lap without saying a word, and the latter was replying to Lu Yichao's WeChat.

Vajra Gourd Baby: Lin Zi, remember to buy a watermelon when you come back!It doesn't need to be too big, the kind with clear patterns.

[WeChat Red Envelope] Gong Xi Fa Cai, good luck!

Paji: OK.

Lin Mian confiscated Lu Yichao's red envelope, opened Alipay to check the balance, and finally took a peek at Wu Ting.

"What do you want to say?" Wu Ting has been watching his every move.

Lin Mian scratched her face, summoned up her courage and said, "Dean, I just want to ask, when does our research institute pay salary every month?"

Gee.

Before starting work, the boss asked for salary while sitting in the boss’s car. Is it criticism for such an employee?What about criticism?Or criticism?

So Wu Ting said seriously: "Normally it is No. 15, and it will be advanced in case of holidays. If you are really in a hurry, you can ask for an advance payment."

Lin Mian's eyes lit up when she heard the words. Although the recruitment notice was written a little bit, the new job of salary is still very humane!

"Very short of money?" Seeing him squinting his eyes happily like a little mole, Wu Ting couldn't help asking, his voice was deep but not hoarse, and sounded very comfortable.

Lin Mian nodded, "I need to save tuition and living expenses for the next semester."

We also need to change the old teacher who raised him to a better cemetery.

Lin Mian didn't say the latter reason, and Wu Ting didn't ask him why he had to save tuition and living expenses by himself, because it touched privacy, and it was too shallow for someone who had only known him for two days.

"Did you catch that ogre later?" Lin Mian changed the subject.

"Caught it." Wu Ting adjusted the rearview mirror to look at him while driving.

"You guys... what exactly is the job of our research institute?" Lin Mian thought Wu Ting was a policeman yesterday, but now he knows that he is the director of the Shanhai Folklore Research Institute. system.

Wu Ting's gaze swept over his brows and eyes: "Do you believe that there are monsters in the world?"

!!!

Assistant Lin: ...Caught off guard.

Wu Ting saw his reaction in his eyes, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and continued: "The legend of monsters has existed since ancient times, and many classic classics and ancient books have records, such as the well-known "Journey to the West", "Sou Shen Ji" , and earlier "Natural History", "Shan Hai Jing" and so on.

In fact, most of the monsters recorded in these ancient books have prototypes. At that time, Nuwa had not mended the sky, the passage between the world and the upper world had not been closed, and the aura was very strong. This was the era when monsters were most active.

In the next few thousand years, the aura was gradually consumed and dissipated, and many big monsters fell into a deep sleep one after another, which became a legend among people. "

Wu Ting slowed down the speed of the car and let pedestrians cross the zebra crossing first. Lin Mian listened carefully, and her light-colored pupils had a water-like luster because she was too focused.

"But now they appear again." Wu Ting stepped on the gas pedal lightly, and the wheels rolled over the white sidewalk.

There was a brief silence in the car, only the air conditioner was blowing a cool breeze. Seeing Lin Mian bowed his head in thought, Wu Ting did not urge him.

After a while, Lin Mian said softly, "So that ogre in the mall yesterday was actually a monster?"

Wu Ting nodded: "That's right, it's called a mole, it looks like a sheep, but it has four horns on its head, and it has a natural cannibalism."

Listening to his description, Lin Mian's eyes widened slightly, which seemed a little strange, but soon he asked again: "So the job of the research institute is to catch these monsters that cause harm to the world?"

Wu Ting noticed that his expression didn't change much, so he couldn't help being surprised: "Aren't you afraid?"

Lin Mian froze for a moment, then shook her head: "Fortunately, I've been quite courageous since I was a child, and I don't have many things to be afraid of."

"Not many?" There are still... Wu Ting raised his eyebrows.

Lin Mian thought for a while and said seriously, "I'm afraid of being poor."

Wu Ting did not drive the car into the Sichuan University campus, but parked in the parking lot outside, and walked with Lin Mian to his dormitory building.

Passing by the fruit shop in the living area, Lin Mian remembered the watermelon that Lu Yichao asked him to buy, so he asked Wu Ting to wait, and went in to pick it up by himself, but a few minutes later, when he came out of the fruit shop, he was surrounded by people.

Ninety percent of the onlookers were girls, and another ten percent were boys. They whispered to each other, laughed and pushed each other, and tried to talk to the one in the middle of the crowd more livelyly.

Wu Ting is very tall, about 1.9 meters long. The well-tailored black shirt shows that he has a cold temperament and is not easy to get close to.

Lin Mian was not tempted, but only saw that Dean Wu's face was a bit smelly. He suddenly felt tense, remembering the five-figure salary he hadn't pocketed yet, and hurriedly squeezed the crowd away with the watermelon in his arms, pulled the person out and ran away.

Wu Ting was in a good mood looking at the grasped wrist, but it was a pity that Assistant Lin let go of his hand within a few seconds because he was afraid of the heat.

When the two arrived at Lin Mian's dormitory, Lu Yichao was not there. Lin Mian took out his mobile phone and saw the message from the other party a few minutes ago.

Vajra Gourd Baby: Linzi, I heard that there is a big anchor coming from Dongba, I'll go over to watch the excitement, don't finish eating the watermelon, remember to save a piece for me.

Lin Mian replied OK.

"There is everything in the research institute, you just need to bring a few sets of clothes that you change frequently." Wu Ting leaned lazily on the door frame.

Lin Mian tidied up after hearing the words, not a single schoolbag was filled, and then, under Wu Ting's watchful eye, he took the watermelon to the public washroom and rinsed it. light touch.

click.

The black-striped watermelon cracked a crack from the breach, making a crisp sound.

Thin-skinned, sand-filled black seeds.

perfect!

Lin Mian put half of the melon in a plastic basin, soaked it in cold water, and sent Lu Yichao a WeChat message. He continued to cut the other half in half, handed half to Wu Ting, and picked up the other half to face it. After taking a big bite of the essence in the middle, it was so delicious that I squinted my eyes.

Watermelons are truly amazing species.

Wu Ting has his own recipe, and he was not interested in this kind of common melon, but because it was given by Assistant Lin, he thought it was good.

After the two washed their hands after eating watermelon, Lin Mian picked up her schoolbag and was about to go back to the research institute with Wu Ting when the phone in her trouser pocket vibrated suddenly.

Lin Mian opened it and saw a new message.

Vajra Gourd Baby: Linzi, help!
