Shanhai Folklore Research Institute

The food won't be served for a while, the old servant is in charge of entertaining the four of them chatting, he thought for a while and said, "Recently an interesting thing happened in Sichuan City, have you heard about it?"

"What?" Lin Mian was curious, Xu Shan put down his phone, Bian Changfeng also squinted his eyes and seemed to be listening attentively, only Wu Ting remained calm.

The old servant stood aside with his hands down, and said with a smile: "Some time ago, it was said that an old site was discovered on Sanming Mountain. After the capital's archaeological team came, they dug out a lot of valuable things..."

"??? I thought you were going to say something, so this is it!" Bian Changfeng leaned heavily on the back of the chair, curled his lips, "To tell you the truth, the mission received by the Shendiao Bureau in the past two days is to deal with Sanming The thing about the broken hole in the mountain that is haunted by ghosts."

Sanming Mountain is about [-] kilometers east of Shanhai Folklore Research Institute. It already belongs to the outskirts of Chuancheng. The area is almost all deserted farmland and barren hills with little production. There are few people and it is not surprising that it will be haunted.

"The archaeological team has been here for almost half a month. It has been very normal before. In the past three or four days, things have been lost every day." Bian Changfeng crossed Erlang's legs and turned the small blue cup in his hand.

"This one said that the instant noodles that he didn't finish eating last night were gone, that one said that the kimchi jar his mother brought him was empty, and there was still more than half of it the day before, and other snacks such as luncheon meat and egg yolk pie. You must have lost seven or eight things!" Bian Changfeng said cheerfully.

"The captain of the archaeological team was very angry when he heard about it. He thought that someone had stolen something from his colleagues. This kind of behavior is quite undesirable, so he asked the other party to take the initiative to admit their mistakes. As a result, no one came forward after half a day.

At this time, other team members asked if it was haunted. After all, most of them deal with things underground, and it's not like they haven't encountered even weirder things before.

The team members were all panicked by what he said. After a long period of time, the site was buried underground. They only discovered the upper two floors. The bottom floor has not yet started construction, and the most valuable cultural relics are often hidden in the bottom. under.It would be a pity if we gave up at this time, and we would not be able to explain it to the capital headquarters, so the case was handed over to our Investigative Bureau after several twists and turns. "

"What happened next?" Lin Mian subconsciously took the small refreshments that Wu Ting handed over to him, and the two of them lightly touched each other with their fingertips, but the little assistant didn't pay attention, while Dean Wu's gaze stayed for a while before moving away.

"The excavation of the ruins is not a small matter, and the higher-ups attach great importance to it. Changfeng and I plan to go there ourselves." Xu Shan took over the conversation, "But we didn't feel a trace of ghosts when we got there. The ghosts are quite heavy, but This is probably because the ruins have been buried underground for too long and have not seen the sun all year round. Changfeng told the archaeologist that there are no ghosts there, but the other party didn't believe it, and said we were liars."

Xushan looked strange, and Bian Changfeng snorted with his nostrils upturned: "Liars are liars. Since they want to discover that the site is haunted so much, then I will show mercy and satisfy them!"

The corners of Lin Mian's mouth couldn't help twitching when he heard the words. He knew the identities of Bian Changfeng and Xu Shan. He offended this ghost ancestor. Lin Mian silently lit a wax for the archaeological team in his heart.

A few people were talking, when a strange fragrance wafted from the back kitchen.

"It seems to be Dongpo meat." Lin Mian carefully distinguished, "But it's not ordinary Dongpo meat."

Lin Mian's cooking is good, and he is a talented player, but compared with the gluttonous ancestor Taotie, he is still a bit inferior, not to mention that the ingredients used by the latter are full of aura, and can make those ordinary things on the market in seconds. There is no residue left.

After a while, four servants in green clothes came out from behind the curtain carrying a white jade plate twice the size of the blue and white porcelain plate they had seen last time.

The plate was placed on the round table, occupying almost nine-tenths of the area, but because it was covered by a huge stainless steel cover, it was impossible to see what Taotie was doing.

Tao Qingzhi has changed back to human form at this time, following behind the servant, although his face is still a little smelly, but his behavior looks very normal, he thinks that his skills are not as good as others, and Master Taotie, who has always been able to afford to lose, decides not to fight with that stinky flat-haired Care about.

Tao Qingzhi cleared his throat with a sense of ritual, and then put one hand behind his back, and opened the lid of the meal with the other very gentlemanly. Suddenly, a scent that was a hundred times stronger than before penetrated into the noses of everyone.

Hundreds of pieces of Dongpo meat are neatly stacked on the white jade plate, each piece is tied with a straw knot, the color is shiny, the skin is Q-bouncy like jelly, and the fat and thin pork belly is wrapped in thick oily red sauce. It has a huge impact on people.

Lin Mian was really shocked, how can I put it, the scene is a bit big...

Wu Ting took a piece and put it in the small bowl in front of him: "Taste it."

Lin Mian came back to his senses, and carefully took a bite with reverence. Dongpo meat had distinct layers, and the fatty meat was translucent and melted in the mouth. People feel that it is too much and perfectly integrated into the meat, regardless of each other.

What really surprised Lin Mian was that ordinary Dongpo meat tasted oily, so many people, especially girls with small appetites, couldn’t eat a piece of it, but Tao Qingzhi’s meat did not make people feel It is greasy, and after eating, it will still linger on the mouth, and this fragrance seems to be different from the fragrance of spices, it seems that the meat itself has a faint fragrance...

"It's the meat of the prostitute." Seeing his doubts, Wu Ting explained.

According to the "Shan Hai Jing", it is said that there is a beast on Mount Tai, which looks very similar to a pig, but it contains precious orbs in its body.

Tao Qingzhi took a crystal-clear glass box from the servant in Tsing Yi. Lin Mian looked over it curiously, and saw a colorful bead the size of a pigeon egg lying quietly on the goose-yellow velvet interlining.

"It is said that the beads can bring good luck to people, but they are useless to monsters. Let's play with the little assistant." Tao Qingzhi stuffed the box into his hand, and continued to eat meat nonchalantly.

Lin Mian discovered that Taotie also has a different hobby besides eating, that is, he likes to give away things, be it toon buds, rani fish bones, or the present pearls, as long as the other party suits his appetite, this guy's The hand was very loose, which made Lin Mian very embarrassed.

"You kid has never had the concept of good and evil, and you do things according to your preferences, so you have offended many people all the time, and your reputation is getting worse and worse..." Bian Changfeng looked at the eye box and clicked his tongue.

"Fame? What's that thing? Can you eat it?" Tao Qingzhi disdainfully drank the tea in the cup in a smart way.

Lin Mian thanked him politely, and carefully put away the pearls. Luck is a mysterious thing, and it might save lives at critical moments.

Obstetrics meat contains a lot of spiritual energy. Humans tend to get nosebleeds if they eat too much, just like getting angry. However, the little assistant did not see anything wrong after eating seven or eight yuan. Bian Changfeng couldn't help but asked Wu Ting: "Wu Laogou, your family Is the assistant really human?"

Wu Ting put another piece of Dongpo meat into Lin Mian's bowl, and when he heard this, he raised his eyelids and looked at Bian Changfeng lightly: "Then what do you think he is?"

Bian Changfeng choked on him and scratched his cheek: "Maybe it's a demon or something..."

Before Wu Ting could speak, Tao Qingzhi on the opposite side sneered: "He doesn't have a trace of monster aura, unless the ancient big monster can cover it up, otherwise the monster aura of ordinary little monsters can't escape me... and Wu Ting's eyes .”

"But he doesn't look like a ghost..." Bian Changfeng scratched his head.

If the difference between a human and a demon lies in the presence or absence of a demon, then the difference between a human and a ghost is even greater.

Even if a ghost is condensed into a solid body, it is cold and has no heartbeat. Of course, the ancestors of ghosts like Bian Changfeng said otherwise, but Lin Mian is not Yama of the Ten Temples after all!

"Wuluogou, do you want to ask Bai Ze?" Chief Bian touched his chin and suggested, he was really curious.

Bai Ze is one of the four auspicious beasts known as the Phoenix. It is said that he knows astronomy and geography from the top, and trivial details from the bottom. Through the past, he knows the future.

"That guy Bai Ze has been wandering around since he woke up, who knows where he is now!" Tao Qingzhi rolled his eyes, chatting with Bian Changfeng, a bastard, is easy to lose his mind, it's better to eat two more pieces of meat.

Lin Mian also knew that something was wrong with him. After all, no ordinary person could beat a mole with his fist, and it would be fine if he ate a lot of monster meat.

But since he was four years old, he has been living with his old teacher. He is very sure that when he meets a fairy on the road, he thinks that his bones are strange, and he will become a great weapon in the future, so he insists on enlightening him and making him his apprentice. The adventure didn't happen to him. As for what happened before the age of four, he was too young at that time to remember.

Lin Mian was a little lost in thought, the half piece of Dongpo meat in the bowl hadn't moved, Wu Ting gave Bian Changfeng a warning look, the meaning was very clear, don't force me, you interrupted my assistant's meal.

Director Bian's eyes widened in disbelief: Fuck, I'm all to blame for this, why don't you be so unreasonable? !

Seeing that Lin Mian was almost done eating, the unreasonable Director Wu stood up and slapped his butt/ass to leave. Before leaving, he said to Bian Changfeng very coolly: "You treat me to this meal."

Bian Changfeng: Shit!

When Tao Qingzhi heard this, he waved to the old servant beside him, and the latter handed over a calculator knowingly, and Taotie clicked and clicked randomly, and finally showed Director Bian a six-digit number.

Bian Changfeng: Shit!

In the research institute, Gouwei and the twins who disappeared for several days because of going out to work have returned, and they are surrounding a fluffy ball the size of a football with curious faces.

"Is it also a monster?" Yimu poked the dumpling with his finger, and the dumpling trembled.

"What kind of monster? A hairball monster?" He stroked his chin like a little adult with two eyes, with a serious expression on his face.

"Looks like a mouse?" Gouwei touched the ears of Maoball, and the latter immediately trembled.

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

One eye and two eyes seem to have discovered a new world, and the two pairs of identical eyes are wide open.

"What are you doing?" Lin Mian walked into the staff dormitory and asked with a smile.

"Lin Lin!"

"Lin Lin!"

The twins ran over and hugged Lin Mian's arms.

"Assistant Lin!" Gouwei also greeted him happily.

Then Lin Mian's attention was attracted by the cow-colored dumpling on the coffee table, and she asked in surprise, "Aren't you?"

Huazhishu Xiaowuyigulu got up, stood upright on his hind legs, and bowed to him with his two front paws.

"Why are you back?" Lin Mian thought that it had finally regained its freedom and would definitely return to Xiao Min and Granny Deng.

"After the theft, Granny Deng probably figured it out, sold the house, and left Jinyuan Community with Xiao Min. The lives of the grandparents and grandchildren are much better than before. I see that Xiao Min is very happy now and I am very satisfied. "Huazhishu's tone is serious, like a happy old father.

Lin Mian was also happy for Xiao Min and Granny Deng when she heard the words, and at this moment she heard Huazhishu cautiously say: "But I have nowhere to go now, and I don't want to live a wandering life anymore. Assistant Lin, you, can you take me in?"

Although he knew that Wu Ting had the final say on the entire Shanhai Folklore Research Institute, Xiao didn't dare to look at him. It, as long as Assistant Lin agrees, then the matter will basically be settled.

Lin Mian was a little surprised, but Huazhishu had done a lot of service in Bi Fang's case, and from its attitude towards Xiao Min's family, it can be seen that it is a kind and righteous monster. If it wants to stay in the research institute, Lin Mian will be fine Welcome, but what he said doesn't count...

So the little assistant looked at the dean inquiringly.

Seeing this, Huazhishu hurriedly added: "I don't need salary, I don't eat much, and I can help collect information..."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and anxiously waited for Wu Ting's reply under the watchful eyes of the big and small monsters in the research institute.

It doesn't really matter to Wu Ting whether there are more dumplings or less dumplings, but seeing that the little assistant seems to like the mouse quite a bit, the dean nodded lightly.

Since then, Huazhishuxiao has not successfully joined the research institute. Of course, like Lin Mian, he is a contract worker without a staff.

That night, Lin Mian dreamed again.

This time he didn't dream of the high hills, nor the clouds around his waist. He dreamed that he fell asleep, surrounded by darkness, thunder and rain, wind, birds and beasts talking. He felt it was very noisy when it came from a distant place, but he didn't want to wake up.

It's not time yet... He heard a voice in his heart say so.

So Lin Mian got up late again the next day, as expected, she couldn't believe what she said in her dream, why didn't she arrive early, okay? !

Assistant Lin secretly spurned her lazy self.

The author has something to say:

Bian Changfeng: A meal costs six figures, why don’t you grab it?

Tao Qingzhi: Don't come to eat if you have the ability!

Director Bian: Shit!

Dean Wu: Check his taxes.

Tao Qingzhi: Shit!
