I have a building in the downtown

Chapter 40 Slapping Paws, 5 Deals

Zhai Zhai prepared Liangpi, shredded roast duck, meat buns and cucumbers. Except for cucumbers, the others are takeaway. There is also an old hen stewed in the pot. Sprinkle some chopped green vegetables in it, specially prepared for uncle.Originally, it was agreed that my uncle would take care of him when he came back, and go out for a big meal. Lin Wu fell in love with a beef stew shop, which serves excellent beef brisket. After eating, you can also put it in the soup and eat it in winter. It is warm, and it is also comfortable to sweat in summer.

Now that the plan has to be put on hold, Lin Wu thinks it should not be allowed for the time being. There are too many seasonings, and he is afraid that his uncle will be uncomfortable if he eats it.

He pushed open the door and looked at the big bed. His uncle was sleeping peacefully on the bed, and he walked in lightly. He saw that his uncle's brows were wrinkled, and he was not sleeping soundly.

"Uncle, uncle, wake up." Lin Wu yelled twice, but his uncle woke up, so he pushed his uncle's shoulder with his hands, "Get up, and go back to sleep after dinner."

Almost as soon as Lin Wu put his hand on his uncle's shoulder, Lin Lang opened his eyes. The eyes were red and sleepy, but the viciousness and coldness contained in them could not be ignored.The five fingers of his right hand formed into claws, and he quickly strangled Lin Wu's throat. With so much strength, Lin Wu was pinched so hard that he couldn't speak, and rolled his eyes.

The cutie blew up, and flew up almost at the same time, pecking at Lin Lang while tweeting.Everything that happened in the dream receded like the tide, Lin Lang regained his clarity, let go of his hand in a hurry, looked at his hands in fear and then at Lin Wu's neck, Lin Wu was white, and a circle had already appeared on his neck Qingzi was clutching her neck and coughing vigorously, coughing so much that her nose and tears came out, quite embarrassing.

"Lin Lin, I..." Looking at the embarrassed Lin Wu, Lin Lang wanted to get closer but was afraid that he would hurt him, so he covered his head in pain, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"Ahem, it's okay, I'll just pay attention next time." Lin Wu rubbed his neck, feeling the burning in his throat, probably cutting his throat would be a similar feeling.Not taking this matter to heart, Lin Wu said lightly: "It's time for dinner, I'll help you out."

The cutie folded her wings and stood on Lin Wu's shoulder, looking at Lin Lang carefully, as long as Lin Lang moved Lin Wu's finger again, he would not be polite.

"No need, I'm not hungry." Lin Lang sat up and leaned back, getting a little further away from Lin Wu.

Lin Wu felt distressed when he saw it, "Uncle, you have escaped from that dangerous environment. This is your home, and there is no place that can hurt you. Didn't I tell you about the magic of the Vientiane Tower? After eating, I I'll take you to the study to meet Lord Dragon God. With his protection, we will be fine. This world is so big that it can accommodate not only us humans, but also other creatures. Okay. There are bad things, and what you meet in the mission is just a part of it, there will always be weaknesses, and they can always be overcome, as long as we know how to do it."

Lin Lang lowered his eyes, hiding the complicated emotions in his eyes.

After a long time, when Lin Wu sighed in disappointment, Lin Lang spoke with a firm tone, "Don't worry, Lin Lin, I will get out of the past. When my body recovers, I will go back and have a look. Take them home." Even if you find the remains of a corpse, take them home!

"Okay, I'll go with you." Lin Wu grabbed the cutie on his shoulder, kissed him on the head, and said, "Thank you, my cutie, if you can, come with me then, okay?" ?”

Under Lin Lang's thoughtful gaze, the little cutie nodded. Zhao Fengming found that he had been kissed a lot, his face had thickened, and he didn't blush as easily as before. flush.

"It's so cute." Lin Wu's eyes turned into stars when he saw such a cutie.

Under Lin Wu's persuasion, Lin Lang found a new goal. He will gradually overcome the influence of the past on him and actively restore his health.He didn't let Lin Wu support him, and went down the stairs relying on crutches, and walked on the way to the low table under the silk tree. The plants on both sides of the road were thriving, and some climbing vines had already set up a shelf beside them. "Clinging to the bamboo pole, struggling to climb up under the moonlight, one day at a time.

Walking to the table, Lin Lang saw the round-faced young man setting the bowls and chopsticks there, saw himself smiling shyly, and then happily called Lin Wu, "Brother, it's time to eat. The stewed old hen is very delicious. I took off the wings, tore the meat from the two legs and put them in the chicken porridge, and the rest of the meat will be fried with green peppers tomorrow."

"Zhai Zhai's arrangement is great, our Zhai Zhai is getting more and more capable."

Being praised by his brother, Zhai Zhai was both excited and shy. After a while, he served porridge for his brother and uncle. Fresh and tender."

"Yes, it's very good." Lin Wu subconsciously picked up the drink in hand and took a sip. The Anshen Tea tasted mediocre at the beginning, but after careful tasting, it became more and more delicious. The more you drink, the more you can't put it down.After finishing the drink, Lin Wu actually felt his appetite increased, and he was full of pride in sweeping away everything in front of him.Greeting his uncle for dinner, Lin Wu tore a big duck leg for Zhai Zhai, and gave the other one to his uncle. He shared duck wings with the cutie, he liked to eat them.Forget about the duck head, he really can't stand things with eyes now, and he's full of psychological shadows.

After taking a big mouthful of chicken porridge, it is indeed the porridge that has been simmered in chicken soup for more than three hours. I feel that the essence of the flesh and blood has entered the rice porridge. The rice grains are cooked until they bloom, but they still maintain a complete appearance , put it in the mouth and sip it lightly, and it melts.Stirring the spoon in the porridge bowl, Lin Wu saw shredded chicken, diced shiitake mushrooms, shredded fungus, and of course the indispensable chopped green vegetables. Looking at the green chopped green vegetables in it made him feel very comfortable.

"Why don't you eat it?" Lin Wu slurped down a large bowl, and found that Zhai Zhai and his uncle hadn't moved, and urged, "Eat quickly, the chicken porridge is not good when it's cold, you can put the cold skin first."

Zhai Zhai looked at Lin Wu worriedly, "Brother, you don't have any discomfort, you don't usually eat like this."

"Ah? No, I'm fine." He stood up and poured himself another bowl. This was the third bowl. "It feels empty in my stomach, and I can still eat."

"Chirp, chirp." The cutie flew up to Lin Wu helplessly. He had said before that eating before meals would have an appetizing effect. Lin Wu didn't notice the very inconspicuous small words on the package of Anshen Tea, which read— — It is recommended to take it after meals for better results.

Lin Wu realized that something was wrong with him, and touched his stomach that still felt empty, "This calming tea is so powerful?!"

The cutie landed on Lin Wu's shoulder and said, "Jiujiu." Probably you are an exception. The original, unadjusted tranquilizing tea does not have such a powerful reaction as Lin Wu drank it.

Lin Wu scratched his head and murmured, "Could it be that I have a special constitution?"

The little cutie said: "Jiu Jiu Jiu." When I recover, I will show you.

"Ang, that's it." Lin Wu sat down with the porridge, took a sip of the porridge and said: "I'm fine, just drink something to help with digestion. You eat, Do not bother me."

It's sweltering during the day, and a little cool at night. The night breeze is gentle, carrying the fragrance of grass and trees, which makes people feel comfortable, and they can eat a meal without knowing it.During the meal, Lin Wu talked about his troubles. He couldn't get the incense sticks and saw so many incense sticks slipping away from his eyes. He felt a pain in his heart. He also agreed to Master Long's request that he would not get three hundred incense sticks this month. , will fall into dreams every night, and it will be even more painful to think about it.

Eating the warm porridge and burying the pain deep in his heart, Lin Lang, who couldn't see anything unusual now, said, "Dad once taught me to do it. It's the kind of incense burned in the temple, right?"

There is no way out in the mountains and rivers, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, and there is another village. Lin Wu looked at his uncle with bright eyes, "Uncle, do you remember how to do it?"

"It's a little vague, but I generally remember it." Lin Lang recalled that in the summer when he was seven years old and Lin Wu was four years old, Lin Wu was taking a nap in the house, and he was called out by his father when he was about to sleep.There are a lot of things piled up in the living room. Dad explained to him one by one the functions of these things, how to deal with them, and the order of placing them when making incense. He also said that he should remember them carefully so that they will be used in the future.

"Sandalwood, cardamom, angelica, galangal, forsythia, cypress, sweet pine..." Lin Lang intermittently reported twenty ingredients, ranging from plants to minerals, "I generally remember the steps, yes, I remember clearly It is clear that a total of 29 ingredients are needed, and I reported a few less."

"Haha, it's okay, I know what it tastes like." Lin Wu stood up happily, "Uncle, how is your recovery? If possible, can we do well tomorrow? Parents are waiting, hehe, I I also want to complete the task. But your body is the most important thing, uncle, you don't have to worry about me, your body is the most important thing."

"My body is fine." His physical disability is secondary, and there will always be a time to recover, but the trauma in his heart continues to expand with the passage of time, buried deep and invisible. "Tomorrow we will go to see Dad first, and then I will make incense for you."

"Well, when you get up early, you have to offer incense to the Dragon God."

···

Lin Wu didn't dare to drink the remaining half can of Anshen tea, for fear that after drinking it, it would be soaked in the rice jar and would not come out.After the effect of calming tea disappeared, the feeling of fullness suddenly appeared. Lin Wu lay on the bed with his stomach upright, almost unable to take a bath.Whoops, it's been a long time, but tonight he's overweight, eating much more than usual.

After taking a shower and taking a nap, when he woke up the next day, Lin Wu found that he was full of energy and very comfortable. He didn't know whether it was the effect of the calming tea or his physical fitness. He was drinking water in the living room when he heard the door open With a loud voice, Lin Wu looked over with a bright smile on his face, "Good morning, uncle."

It feels so good to open your eyes and see your loved ones.

Lin Wu then asked again: "How did you sleep?"

"I slept very comfortably, and the effect of soothing tea is very good." Lin Lang sat down beside Lin Wu, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of boiled water. So good, no dreaming."

"That's good. Little cutie's Anshen tea is great." Lin Wu decided, "After watching grandpa come back, I'll go to Boss Sun's and carry a few more boxes for preparation."

·

After breakfast, there was a cutie standing on Lin Wu's shoulders, and Lin Lang was walking beside him. The three of them set off to the cemetery, bought flowers and fruits on the way, and arrived at the cemetery at only nine o'clock in the morning.Today the weather is fine, the bright sun falls in the quiet cemetery, there is no gloomy color, Lin Wu led his uncle to the grandfather's side, where the grandfather and grandmother were buried together, and on the tombstone are photos of them leaning together when they were young, with braided hair The tall and handsome grandpa leaned on the tall and handsome grandma with bright and bright eyes, and the two were so well matched.

"Grandpa, look who's back. Dangdang~ Uncle is back! He didn't take good care of himself. You must be angry when you see it, but it's okay. Whoever made him not be with us before will not take care of himself. In the future I'm here now, I'll take care of him and make sure he'll be fed for nothing." Lin Wu put the flowers in front of the tomb, took out a handkerchief and wiped the tombstone carefully, and chatted with grandpa, saying that he was running the business by himself. He talked about the situation in the Vientiane Tower, saying that Dragon God is the best at breaking thoughts, talking about himself and Xiao Keai, he said a lot, just like when his grandfather was lying on the hospital bed, he held his grandfather's hand. "I've said so much, I must think I'm annoying, let your son talk to you, uncle must have something to say to you."

With Lin Wu's help, Lin Lang knelt down, knelt with his forehead on the ground, and didn't get up for a long time. Lin Wu didn't hear the cry, didn't hear his uncle's voice, but the wordless silence was better than constantly telling his thoughts Be sentimental.

Sighing, Lin Wu looked up at the clear blue sky, "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, the child wants to raise but the relatives don't wait", life is a pity.

"Jiujiu." The cutie comforted Lin Wu.

Lin Wu stretched out his fingers and scratched the cutie's body, "Thank you."

After finishing speaking, it felt wrong, one person and one bird looked to the front side at the same time, a weasel hiding behind the tombstone came out tremblingly, and the person stood up and bowed to greet, "Hello, masters, the younger one is just here to take a look, no disturbing The meaning of the two. The little family is in this area, if there is any order, the master can give it."

The weasel is thin and thin, but its fur is smooth and smooth. It seems that the food is good.Lin Wu said: "Will you take away the offerings in the cemetery?"

The weasel spirit wanted to speak, but his overactive eyes noticed the divine bird on Lin Wu's shoulder, and hid the small thoughts in his heart embarrassingly, "We didn't dare to move all of them, so we just took a little bit. I, Rhubarb, dare to swear that I will be responsible for cleaning up the tombstones after taking the offerings, and I will never be insatiable. I am a weirdo, and I took the ID card test at the National Security No. [-]."

The little paws kept groping on the body, and the weasel finally found a card from his thick hair. He usually disliked the trouble of carrying it, but now it finally came in handy. He found that it was very easy to carry, and he must carry it with him in the future, " Look, I didn't do any tricks on my ID card, I got it with my real skills. I plan to take the civil service exam this year, and I'm working hard on my books."

Lin Wu is not a policeman, nor is he a public servant of the National Security No. [-]. He glanced at Weasel's ID card and stopped taking it for a closer look, "Then you work hard. There are two candidates living in my Wanxiang Building. If you like You can live here, and you can also learn from each other. By the way, you know what the Vientiane Building is."

"I know, I know, there is a place where there is Lord Dragon God, and all monsters who have become spirits know about it. You are the new owner of Vientiane Building. I am sorry that you didn't come to congratulate you when you took office. Now I wish you a guest like a cloud." Get promoted and get rich." Weasel ran down his beard and said flatteringly: "After a while, after a while, the money is a bit out of hand now. When I have money, I will definitely come and live here." Dragon God suppressed The place is full of aura, and he can feel the terrifying coercion ten kilometers away. Even if he lives there, he would not dare to give him ten guts.

Lin Wu: "..." Do you want to ride on the head of Lord Dragon God if you get promoted again? !Forget it, don't even dare to think about it.

Lin Wu said: "Can you do me a favor, I will pay you."

The weasel hurriedly said: "Please tell me, please tell me, as long as I can do it, I am duty-bound."

"I need moss."

Weasel blinked, "This is easy, how much does the master need?"

"No, it's not simple moss." The cemetery is where the tombs of Xizhou City were located hundreds of years ago, and there are several mountains next to which ancient people were buried. Funeral objects and books have enriched the historical documents.Later, the museum built directly on the ancient tomb is less than two stops away from here. Many people will go there after sweeping the tomb, because there is a bronze turtle statue there, and it is said that throwing a coin will bless the fortune.

Lin Wu said: "I want to cling to the moss on the old museum and buy it for a long time. Give me as much as you can get. Do you have a mobile phone? I can give you my mobile phone number. If you collect it, call me." Call, I will buy it at the price of 20 yuan a catty, what do you think?"

One of the materials for making incense is the moss on the old coffin. My uncle said that this material is made of damp air. Lin Wu will not go into details about the specific effect. Anyway, it is the incense material summed up by his ancestors.It was easy to get this kind of moss in ancient times. After all, burials were popular, but now it is too difficult. If it weren't for Xizhou City's unique historical and cultural heritage, it would have taken a lot of twists and turns for Lin Wu to get the moss on the coffin.

When he came to the cemetery, he was still thinking about how to get the moss, but the weasel came to the door by himself, and it really took no effort at all.

A golden light flashed in the weasel's eyes, and he stretched out his small paw tentatively, "Fifty."

Lin Wu said cheerfully: "Deal." He stretched out his hand and patted the weasel's little paw, "That's the deal."

Weasel: "..." Why did he feel something was wrong, he should ask for five hundred orz.Humans are indeed the most cunning, even more cunning than their weasels.

Lin Wu showed a kind smile, and his white teeth seemed to reflect in the sun, "How about getting a pound now, I'll wait here."

Now that you have already agreed, there is no reason to go back on your word. A monster who has become a spirit pays more attention to credit.The weasel said: "I'll go right away, master wait a moment."

After the weasel left, Lin Lang, who was sitting on the ground with one leg propped up, said, "Is that a monster?"

"Yes, isn't it amazing. Although grandpa can't live with us, he must live in another world, with grandma." Lin Wu looked at his uncle with a smile, "So you don't need to be so sad, right? "

"Yes, what you said makes sense, can I trouble Master Lin to help me?" Lin Lang stretched out his arm, motioning for Lin Wu to help him up.

The efficiency of the weasel is still very high. It didn't take much time for Lin Wu to help his uncle up, and he came here with a pile of moss.The weasel didn't hold it himself, but called two ordinary weasels to get it.Ordinary weasels are born with a little fear of humans. If the ancestors were not suppressing them, they would have run away without a trace.

The weasel is very shrewd. It has been agreed that a catty will never exceed one or two. There is no need for Lin Wu to take an extra scale to measure it, just give it fifty.

After paying the money and putting the moss in a plastic bag, Lin Wu and the others went down the mountain and called a car to go back, but instead of going home, they stopped at the intersection of Antique Street. They were going to the candle shop to bring soothing tea.

Going to a candle shop to buy drinks was a bit strange to say, but when Lin Wu saw the long queue at the entrance of the incense shop from a distance, he swallowed the idea back.

If everyone comes, there is nothing strange about it.

At the door, there were two men Lin Wu saw yesterday who also took drinks from Boss Sun, and who ended up walking down the path were arguing with the clerk, pushing and shoving the clerk several times, as if to say that they were considered regular customers, and they had to queue anyway .

Lin Wu has been to the incense candle shop so many times, but this is the first time he sees employees in the shop.He is very white, with two red spots on his cheeks, his limbs are stiff, and his expression is lacking. When he speaks, he is stern and rigid. He doesn't look like a living person, but like a paper man sold in a store. Even the clothes on his body They're all alike.

The clerk said: "Everyone has to line up, everyone has to line up, order must be observed, and everyone is responsible."

The two were cursing and reluctantly lined up at the end of the line.It was not easy to find out that the incense candle shop sells Anshen tea, and carefully guarded this secret from too many people. Anyway, the incense candle shop did not promote it very much. I don’t know what went wrong. Now it has attracted so many people. The people looked at each other helplessly, and could only stand in the line.

Some timidly looked at the clerk with a dull expression, he pushed the clerk earlier, the hollow touch made his scalp numb, and he didn't dare to think about it.

It is not known how long the queue will last, so Lin Wu plans to send his uncle back to the Wanxiang Building first, and then he will come over and talk to Boss Sun, asking him to keep a few boxes for himself, taking advantage of the dark moon and high winds and few people. Come and get it by yourself.

Just as I was about to tell my uncle my plan, Boss Sun's voice came from the opposite jade shop, "Boss Lin is here, come and sit in the shop, we were talking about you just now."

Lin Lang looked at Lin Wu, and asked with his eyes who was calling.Lin Wu explained: "The one who spoke was Boss Sun from the candle shop. It's easy for him to do things. I'll talk to him."

Said loudly: "Wait a moment, come right away."

Afraid that his uncle had walked so many ways to hold on, Lin Wu always kept an eye on his situation, and when he entered the store, he asked his uncle to sit down on the nearest chair.Only then did I look into the room, and Mr. Tu Shan, who had met once, was actually in Zhirongzhai. The boss of the jade shop who had only heard the voice was still not there, and Boss Sun regarded this place as his own home, and sat carelessly, " Is Boss Xiaolin looking for me or old man Yang?" He held a handful of melon seeds in his hand and kept nibbling, and the skin of the melon seeds spat all over the floor.

Judging by Guo Liang's expression, it is obvious that he has become numb to Boss Sun's behavior.

The author has something to say:

Lin Wu sighed: Little cutie is not so shy now, isn't it exciting enough?

Zhao Fengming: ...I actually have some expectations
