invisible friends

Many times Luo Zhixia felt that his work was like playing a single-player online game without a strategy. He ran around on the map alone looking for mobs and bosses. You will get a reward for one mission, and the reward is the merits of different sizes according to the difficulty of the mobs and bosses that are superseded.

Merit is something that has no specific form. It looks like a ball of golden light, and it also looks like a ball of golden liquid. Whenever a person gets a piece of merit, no matter how big or small, it will be immediately applied to the body once it appears. That person's body, and then put a layer of golden light on that person's body, the more meritorious virtues, the more golden light, Luo Zhixia's body has a lot of golden light.

In the words of Grandpa Luo Zhixia, a person with meritorious deeds looks like a big light bulb that is on no matter day or night, with different wattages, but they all play a role in illuminating the world.And their Luo family is the spotlight, so bright that it can blind people's eyes.

This time sending Zhou Xiaoxue away, Luo Zhixia also quickly received a meager amount of merit, about the size of a little fingernail. Luo Zhixia stretched out his hand to grasp it before it was attached to his body. In the palm of his hand, he tucked it into a string of golden crystal bracelets on his right wrist.

Merits are like banknotes, once you put them on your body, they are easy to use up, and this stuff is very difficult to earn, so the Luo family has been refining the earned merits into something since hundreds of years ago Carry it with you so that you can use it whenever you want, and you don't have to worry about accidentally using up all your hard-earned merits.According to the Luo family's thick family history, there were more than one or two ancestors who accidentally used up a lot of their merits, so Luo Zhixia was very careful about this, and never allowed himself to have more than one tenth of his merits.

That string of bracelets was when Luo Zhixia was ten years old, with the help of Mr. Luo, he condensed the merits and virtues into a storage of the merits he earned. At first, there were only a dozen or so small beads sparsely colored. It was also pale as if it were transparent. Later, as Luo Zhixia said more meritorious deeds, the color of the beads on the bracelet began to slowly become golden yellow, and the number of beads also increased a little bit. There are more than 100 of them, and they can be loosely wrapped around Luo Zhixia's wrist four times.

After collecting the merits, Luo Zhixia took out a piece of note paper from his pocket. Apart from saving Zhou Xiaoxue, he also had a task to buy some necessities at home, especially food.Luo Zhixia hasn't been home for several months this time, the food at home has been eaten up by the ghosts, yesterday's dinner and today's breakfast Luo Zhixia ate dim sum brought back from T city, he doesn't buy it With some stored food, we will not be able to live in the next few days.

Zhu Jinruo's convoy that was stuck at the intersection quickly dissipated after the traffic police arrived, but Zhu Jinruo's car ran into obstacles before they could drive past.A very long funeral procession came from nowhere and blocked the road. The person in the front was holding a tablet, followed by a group of eight people carrying a red coffin, then a dozen or so military bands playing mourning music, and finally There were a hundred or so crying people in white mourning clothes, and they all walked slowly to the two big buses parked beside the zebra crossing.

The traffic police went over to coordinate, hoping that the funeral team would wait for the bus to pass through this intersection and get on the main road ahead before getting on the bus, but several people in the funeral team said angrily that the traffic jam just now delayed their auspicious time to get on the bus. Blocking the intersection with the coffin.

"Why are you so unlucky today, how long have you been waiting!" Zhu Jinruo spat at the two funeral cars that looked no different from ordinary buses.

"Master, wait a little longer, the last car will not take long." Dong Haoxin said.

"I can't wait anymore, I have to go to the toilet. Do you know where there is a toilet near here?" Zhu Jinruo said, he wanted to hold back, but the car had been waiting here for almost an hour, and the funeral procession in front watched It's not something that can be done in a while, he really can't bear it.

The omnipotent little assistant Jiang Hexu immediately pointed to the bank building on the corner and said, "Master, there must be a toilet in the bank across the street."

Zhu Jinruo pulled on his seat belt and was about to push the door to get out of the car.Dong Haoxin glanced at the coffin outside the car that hadn't been put into the funeral car, and persuaded him, "Master, wait until the funeral car has left before going to the toilet. It's not good to go out like this."

"What's wrong, don't think about anything messy." Zhu Jinruo got out of the car after saying that, walked through the funeral procession, and ran all the way into the opposite bank.

After draining the water, Zhu Jinruo tidied up his clothes in the toilet, and then walked out of the bank with a relaxed body.In the end, after walking a few steps, he bumped into an old man in a brown Tang suit head-on, and knocked the old man to the ground, looking like he couldn't get up.

Zhu Jinruo glanced at the old man on the ground, and didn't immediately help him up. He walked very slowly just now and knocked over people for no reason, let alone knocked people down to the ground for no reason.Zhu Jinruo felt that he might have met Pengci, but it would not be a problem to let an old man who was about the same age as his grandfather lie on the ground all the time.Zhu Jinruo thought that no matter how powerful he was in his capacity, he would have nothing to do with him, at most he would cause a little trouble, so he reached out to help the old man.

Seeing that Zhu Jinruo wanted to help him, the old man stretched out his withered hands to tightly grasp Zhu Jinruo's arm, and then stood up with Zhu Jinruo's strength.

"Thank you, young man. A gust of wind can blow you down when you're old." The old man stood up, patted his clothes, and smiled gratefully to Zhu Jinruo.

Zhu Jinruo didn't want to be troublesome, so he raised his legs and walked on the road while saying, "You're welcome, if you have nothing to do, I'll leave first."

"Wait." The old man grabbed Zhu Jinruo's arm, and just when Zhu Jinruo thought he was going to blackmail him, he took out a piece of red paper from the pocket of his Tang suit and stuffed it into Zhu Jinruo's hand, "This will be treated as Thank you for helping me up."

Zhu Jinruo lowered his head and looked, it turned out to be a small piece of cloud cake, which smells quite delicious, but Zhu Jinruo never accepts people's things for no reason, let alone such cheap snacks, so he thanked: "You don't need to thank me." , old man, that's just a matter of lifting your hands, you'd better take it back."

The old man shook his head and didn't take it back. He just said, "Young man, it's a piece of cake for you, but for my old man, this is the most important path I've taken in my life. You have to put away this cloud cake, Don't just throw it away."

The military band that stopped playing just because of getting in the car started beating gongs and drums again after getting on the car. Zhu Jinruo glanced at it, and when he turned around and wanted to continue to decline, the old man had disappeared.

"How come one or two of them can't travel thousands of miles a day, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye." Zhu Jinruo muttered, without thinking too much, he stuffed the piece of cloud cake in his pocket and ran back to the car.

When Luo Zhixia finished shopping and returned to Qingshui Town, Zhu Jinruo was leading the mayor Zhang Guojian and several village officials to inspect the river banks around Qingshui Town. Ding Simei followed closely with a small parasol. Handing tissues was more caring than the two assistants Jiang Hexu and Dong Haoxin showed to Zhu Jinruo.

Just walking to the side of the small pier, Zhu Jinruo supported the century-old stone railing on the bank, pointed to the square paved with large bluestones in front of him and said: "The square here is good. In the future, tourist groups can bring people to rest. It is good to build a few wooden buildings on the water, open a water hotel, a water restaurant, etc. A small pier will be built next to it, and then a few sightseeing boats will be brought over, and some small speedboats will be brought over. Those who want to play on the lake will be here Over here."

When Zhang Guojian heard that Zhu Jinruo wanted to move this small pier, he quickly wiped off his sweat and said, "Mr. Zhu's other piers are also good, and they are all bigger than this one. Why don't you consider other ones?"

"Why, this small pier can't move?" Zhu Jinruo said while looking sideways at Zhang Guojian.

For hundreds of years, only the Luo family's boats have been moored on this small pier in Qingshui Town, and other families in the town will not easily park their boats here.Everyone defaulted that this pier belonged to the Luo family. Although there was no real rule that it could not be touched, Zhang Guojian always felt that it was inappropriate.But he couldn't just say that to Zhu Jinruo directly, and said, "The pier to the west is also big, and the concrete floor will also be a big square when it's paved."

Ding Simei stood aside and interjected, "Mr. Zhu, why do you want to build a pier here? I think the pier on the west that Mayor Zhang said is better. The pier itself is quite big, and it will save a lot of trouble to expand it."

"It's convenient here." This pier is facing Luo Zhixia's small island. Zhu Jinruo thought that if he bought the small island in the future, the cruise ship could go directly to the small island from here.And he also wants to build a floating bridge between the pier and the island, and when the time comes to convert a boat into a floating cafe and stop in the middle of the floating bridge, the artistic conception will be very beautiful.

A row of ten or so people stood in front of the small pier. Luo Zhixia couldn't get through with a lot of things, so he walked over and said, "Mr. Zhu, can you let me go, I want to go."

Zhu Jinruo's eyes lit up when he saw Luo Zhixia standing behind him, and immediately said courteously: "Hey! Luo Zhixia, you came back so fast. How did you buy such a lot of things? Come on, I'll help you Hold on."

"No need." Luo Zhixia avoids Zhu Jinruo's hand, "Just get out of the way."

Zhu Jinruo winked at Jiang Hexu and Dong Haoxin, and still stood in front of Luo Zhixia and said, "Are you going back to the island? Don't go back, we are going to eat, you go with us , I reserved two tables at the restaurant in the city. Didn’t I say I would treat you to dinner last time, so this time we just go together.”

Jiang Hexu and Dong Haoxin immediately came over to take over the large and small bags in Luo Zhixia's hands. Jiang Hexu also echoed: "Yes, Mr. Luo, last time you brought us out, we have to express our gratitude. You don't Go with us politely, and cook for yourself when you return to the island."

Luo Zhixia hesitated for a moment and then nodded, he wasn't worried about cooking, since Yin Hong cooked their meals anyway.He was thinking that by going to dinner this time, Zhu Jinruo would pay back the favor, and Zhu Jinruo would have no reason to pester him again next time. This person is so thick-skinned.
