You Ming Aesthetics

Where Yan Shan lived, there was no direct bus to the outskirts of Nancheng. He waited for a bus bound for the south of the city at the station in front of him. The driver took him to the villa area in the suburbs.

This place is already close to the suburbs, the streets on both sides are not as prosperous as the urban area, there are no shops, and a new row of trees has been planted in the green belt along the street, and the crowns of the trees are sparse.

The taxi driver was a slightly fat middle-aged man, a little bald. While driving, he peeked at Yan Shan who was sitting in the rearview mirror from the rearview mirror, and asked nonchalantly, "Where does the young man live?"

Looking at the street scene outside the car window, Yan Shan replied flatly: "No, I'm going to find a friend."

"That villa area is quite famous. The developer planned it well. It was sold out shortly after it opened. I heard that there are celebrities who bought houses there. I don't know if they usually come to live there." The driver said as if hooked. Thinking about inquiring about gossip, he asked tentatively, "Has your friend met any celebrities where he lives?"

Yan Shan shrugged: "I haven't heard him mention it."

There was no gossip, and the driver was a little regretful. He kept talking, and continued to follow the topic: "Speaking of celebrities, there is a TV series that is very popular recently. My girl watches it all day long, and I am especially fascinated by the male protagonist in it." What is that actor's name, what, oh, look at my memory." He asked Yan Shan: "Do you know the name of the actor who played the leading role in "Miracle"?"

Yan Shan said: "I usually don't watch TV dramas, and I haven't heard of the movie "Miracle"."

"This film is very popular now." The driver babbled along the way, from his daughter's pursuit of stars, to the fact that children are becoming more and more difficult to control, not knowing what they think every day, and finally brought up the topic of rebellious period .

Yan Shan occasionally echoed him out of politeness, but most of the time the driver was alone.

The driver spoke happily and asked, "Young man, you are quite shy. Have you ever quarreled with your parents during the rebellious period?"

Yan Shan was taken aback when asked this topic. He didn't remember the past very clearly. In his impression, his parents went abroad a long time ago. He lived with his grandma all the time. Later, when his grandma passed away, his parents didn't show up. Other elders in the family raised He could be raised, but Yan Shan refused. After all, he was a distant relative, but he said it casually out of face.Yan Shan still understands the warmth and coldness of human relations. Instead of relying on others to watch people's faces, it is better to live alone and be free.

Of course, Yan Shan would not explain the reasons for these twists and turns in detail to the taxi driver who he had known for less than 10 minutes, so he said perfunctorily: "There have been quarrels, but they are quite rare."

The driver sighed and said, "One day the child will grow up and be sensible."

"Yes, I will understand my parents when the time comes." Yan Shan has never experienced what it is like to have parents, but he just followed the driver's words, which sounds like he has experienced more, but in fact it is not the case at all. I didn't get distracted.

As a result, the driver uttered a word, and the driver was very moved after hearing it, thinking that the child's parents were really lucky to raise such a sensible son.Even when Yan Shan got out of the car to pay, he insisted on erasing a change and charged Yan Shan a few dollars less. He also told him that the location of the villa area is remote and it is not easy to take a taxi. On the return journey, he walked three or four hundred meters to the turntable driveway for comparison. Easy to get a taxi.After speaking, the driver said goodbye to Yan Shan kindly, then turned around and drove away.

The villa area in the southern suburbs is one of the most high-end communities in the city. Before Yan Shan came here, he checked it on the Internet. It was full of single-family villas with complete supporting facilities. An artificial lake was excavated in the center and put Some free-range swans.Residents in the villa area are either rich or expensive, so the security measures in the community are quite strict. Not only are access control systems and monitoring probes installed at the gates, but cameras are installed almost every ten meters on the two-meter-high fence of the community. Yan Shan was worried at first. The security guard at the gate would not let him in. When he entered the gate, the security guard on duty stopped him and asked him who he was looking for. Yan Shan said he was looking for a friend, Mr. Lin from No. 15, Building A.The security guard saw that Yan Shan was white and clean, like a student.He has been in this business for a long time, and he has guarded the villa area for a long time. The residents are all rich people. After a long time, he has been influenced by his ears and eyes, and he still recognizes a few luxury brands.The security guard recognized the clothes Yan Shan was wearing a few days ago that the owner wore the same style but different colors, and the price must be high.The security guard took another look at Yan Shan, guessing that he didn't look like a thief trying to get in with malicious intentions.So he didn't let him call the owner of Building A No. 15 to confirm his identity in front of him, so he put Yan Shan in.

Although he successfully entered the community, Yan Shan knew in his heart that every road in the community was equipped with surveillance cameras directly connected to the security room. He was not the owner, so he couldn't move around at will, so he copied the entire villa area in his mind based on his memory. Designing the floor plan, Yanshan carefully looked at the layout along the way. In addition to the artificial lake in the center, there are pavilions and corridors along the bank imitating Suzhou gardens. Rockery is piled up next to the pavilion, and various flowers and trees are planted around it. There are strange rocks dotted among them. .Yan Shan looked around, took note of the geographical features, and went straight to Building A, Building 15 of the client.

Yan Shan planned to check the situation first. He didn’t contact the client in advance when he came this trip. He turned on the video function of his mobile phone first, pretended to be on the phone, and walked around the No. 15 villa slowly, seemingly casually walking. Talking on the phone while walking, I took a picture of the entire exterior of the villa, thinking that if I can't find the problem of this building immediately, I have the video in my hand, and I can study it carefully when I get home.

After Yan Shan walked this time, he found that the situation was a bit unexpected.

The client made the commission in the name of looking at the feng shui of the house, but Yan Shan carefully checked the surrounding geographical environment, but could not see any clues.

According to Yan Shan's judgment, this community is located in Nancheng, and the location is quite satisfactory. There are no factors that will cause disadvantages to the residents, and the effect of accumulating wealth is average.As far as the layout of the artificial lake and rockery inside the community is concerned, the developer consulted the relevant Feng Shui masters before starting construction. Although there are indeed some bonuses in fortune, overall the Feng Shui appearance of this area has not been changed much. The added fortune is minimal.But do not seek merit but seek no faults, because there is no element of failure in the site selection itself, so it will not actively invite some taboo things to affect the people who live here.

On the whole, the feng shui of this house is useless and lackluster.

That's why it's interesting.

It's as if a person who was not sick suddenly went to the hospital to register and asked an expert to diagnose the disease.

The client spoke cryptically, didn't mention why he came to find someone, only said that he needed to look at Feng Shui, but Yan Shan felt that this matter was not as simple as he expected before coming here.

Either the client is a layman who doesn't know anything, and he doesn't know where to get some information. Suddenly, he has a flash of inspiration and thinks of Feng Shui, so he is moved and wants to invite someone to look at his house.

This kind of person is the best way to deal with them. Most of them are middle-aged rich men and nouveau riche. If you gain his trust, he will believe everything you say as if you were given an imperial decree. Moreover, this kind of people are generally rich and powerful. Very impressive.It's easy and worry-free for Yan Shan to scoop up the money.Such entrustment with generous remuneration, time-saving and labor-saving is generally rare.

Either the water inside is /very/deep.The client invited people under the guise of looking at Feng Shui, and had other plans.As for what their real purpose is, Yan Shan has too few conditions to say.

Yan Shan pondered, if it was the latter, what happened must have something to do with the owner of the house.

In any case, at this stage, there is nothing to see why, Yan Shan does not intend to act rashly, he plans to go back home first, and go back to ask people in the circle if there is any news about the villa in the southern suburbs.

After making up his mind, Yan Shan came out of the villa area. Sure enough, the suburbs are remote and there are few people, so it is not easy to take a taxi. Yan Shan remembered what the taxi driver said. He walked a few hundred meters and stood on the side of the road, waiting for almost two hours. After 10 minutes, I finally stopped a taxi and went home.

This trip was mainly because it took a lot of time on the road, and it took only ten minutes to walk around in the villa area, and it was only eleven o'clock when Yan Shan got home.

Xiaobai leaned on the desk with his left hand resting on his head, and was listlessly flipping through the book in front of him. The computer was turned on next to him, and some words had already been typed in the newly created document.

Yan Shan walked over and patted Xiaobai on the shoulder, glanced at the files on the computer, and said happily, "Oh, it's been a lot of hard work."

Xiao Bai didn't bother to talk to Yan Shan, so he hummed as an answer.

Yan Shan looked away from the computer screen and landed on Xiaobai's "Illustrated Book of Demon Classes" spread out on the desktop. He stared at the page for a while, and then fell silent for a while.

Finally Yan Shan cleared his throat and said, "Xiaobai, can I ask you something?"

Xiaobai lazily replied, "Why?"

Yan Shan pointed to the newly posted Ahri stickers on the book, thought about his wording, and finally asked, "Wouldn't the boss at the place where you bought stickers at the gate of the primary school think it's weird that you still play at this age?"

Xiaobai glanced in the direction of Yan Shan's finger: "Oh, this one."

After Yan Shan ran away from home neatly in the morning, Xiao Bai, who was thrown into the empty house by him, felt helpless, but had no choice but to help him prepare the thesis materials, after all, there was no delay in submitting them next week.Xiaobai flipped through the book and saw that not only ugly but also wretched portrait of fox demon, he couldn't help but think about it more and more, and he became more and more angry, so he put away his ears and tail, turned into a human boy, and went out, wandering around to the nearby elementary school, where The shopkeeper who sells stationery and snacks next to him asked the boss if he had any stickers of the fox demon Kurama. The boss said that it was popular a long time ago, and now that children have stopped reading "Yu Yu Hakusho", there are no stickers of Kurama.Xiaobai asked again if there were any stickers about foxes. The boss took out a stack of stickers and said that there should be Ahri here, so you can look for them yourself.In the end, Xiaobai dug out one, bought it home, and pasted all the fox portraits that he didn't like in Yanshan's newly distributed textbooks with Ahri's stickers, covering them tightly.

"What's so strange about this, the boss asked why he wanted it, and I said I bought it for my brother."

Yan Shan: "..."

Xiaobai glanced back at Yan Shan: "Why, I got stickers on the new book, are you upset?"

"No, no." Yan Shan shook his head: "I'm already very happy that you didn't tear me apart, and I think you have a lot of ideas in what you do."

Xiaobai narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Are you mocking me?"

Yan Shan hurriedly waved his hands when he heard the words, and clarified: "How dare I!"

Xiaobai snorted coldly, stood up from the chair, stretched his waist, and moved his body. He drooped his face and turned to look at Yan Shan: "Tell me, how did you see the result? What's wrong with the villa?"

Yan Shan said: "I didn't see anything wrong, so I felt strange, so I came back first."

Xiaobai raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"

Yan Shan took out his mobile phone and connected it to the computer with a data cable. He clicked on the video he secretly took before, and said to Xiaobai, "You can take a look too."

Xiaobai watched the video recorded by Yan Shan suspiciously: "I can't see it. But I don't think this building is occupied by some monster. I don't know about the others. You think this is unreliable ?”

Yan Shan said: "I think it's better to inquire first before talking."

After listening, Xiaobai said directly: "Don't inquire about it, since you think it's unreliable, just don't touch it, so as not to cause any trouble that can't be dealt with."

Yan Shan smiled: "It's not so serious, I'm just suspicious, in fact, it's okay to meet the client directly today, the worst case is nothing more than the owner of the house recruited something, at worst, just reject the commission because of lack of ability. "

Originally, Yan Shan wanted to dispel Xiaobai's doubts, saying that he was somewhat sure about this matter, but after he said this, Xiaobai's face turned pale.What he said was intended to comfort Xiaobai, but instead of extinguishing the fire, he added more firewood to the fire.Yan Shan was a little puzzled by Xiaobai's reaction.

Xiaobai didn't agree with anything: "No, don't go."

Yan Shan was a little confused: "Xiaobai, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine, anyway, don't go." Xiaobai was very resolute.

Yan Shan tried to persuade him: "We need money to live, and we can't point to the sky to fall, where can we get money."

"Change it to something else, just this one won't work."

Yan Shan frowned, feeling that Xiao Bai was a little unreasonable.The school will start soon, I don’t know what will be the arrangement after the school starts, and whether I will have time to take other commissions. For now, this commission is the best choice, since it is in the city, there is no need to go to other cities, and The employer can imagine that he must be a rich man, and the rich earn the most money, not to mention that there is not much left in Yan Shan's savings after paying the rent.

He was really too lazy to argue with Xiao Bai endlessly on this matter, since it was decided that he would go on this trip no matter what, Yan Shan's bad intentions came up again.

He decided to use a more straightforward method to deal with Xiao Bai who was determined to stop him.

So Yan Shan said, "Xiaobai, do you know?"

Xiaobai didn't understand why, so he asked, "What?"

Yan Shan said meanly: "Sa Mo is very good, I still want to raise a dog."

Xiao Bai's face flushed instantly, Yan Shan's words almost drove him crazy, he stared fiercely at Yan Shan in front of him, his beautiful eyes slowly turned red.

Then Xiaobai didn't look at Yan Shan again, ran to the back room and locked the door behind him without turning his head, and hid inside and couldn't come out. I don't know if he was crying in anger.

Yan Shan who was left hanging in place: "..."

He thought that Xiaobai would punch him a few times when he was struggling to death. Anyway, Xiaobai wouldn't really hit him hard, and it passed without pain or itching. He didn't expect such a reaction. Offend Xiaobai a bit hard.

Yan Shan walked to the door of the back room, raised his hand and knocked on the door, begging for mercy in a soft voice: "Xiaobai, don't be angry, I'm teasing you."

Xiaobai was willing to ignore him.

Yan Shan put his ear on the door and listened, but there was no sound in the room.

After all the fuss, it was past twelve noon.

Yan Shan went out in the morning, too lazy to make lunch.Xiao Bai was still in the room too angry to come out, and there was no need to expect him to make lunch.San Xian went out to University City to beat wild dogs or was beaten by wild dogs. He didn't plan to go home at noon, but even if he was here, he was a master who could only eat but not cook.

Yan Shan had no choice but to call to order takeaway and wait for the delivery person to arrive.

After making the phone call, he sat in front of the computer and logged into the BBS, and sent a message to a netizen in his circle with the ID "Half Hang Zi Onmyoji", saying that he had something to ask for advice.Although the system showed that the other party was not online at the moment, it didn't take long for the "half-handed onmyoji" to send him a window shake.Yan Shanxin said that this guy was really stealth diving.

Half-hearted Onmyoji: Tell me, what's the matter.

Yan Shan: Have you received an entrustment to go to Nancheng villa area to see Fengshui?

Half-baked onmyoji: I never go to Fengshui, this matter will not come to me.What, they commissioned you?

Yan Shan: Yes.So do you have any news about this place?

Half-hearted Onmyoji: I haven't heard of it.what's the situation?Are you going to go?

Yan Shan: That's right, I just came back from a visit to the site, and I can't see why.I took a video, and I will upload it to you later, so I can take a look.

Half-hearted Onmyoji: Send it.

Waited a while.

Half-hearted Onmyoji: After reading it, it’s so ordinary, I don’t think there’s anything special about it.

Yan Shan: I think so too.What do you think might happen?

Half-hearted Onmyoji: Hard to say.In short, if you find something wrong, please contact me again.

Yan Shan: By the way, there is one more thing.Have you heard of the professor Han Wei in the school?

Half-hearted Onmyoji: Yes.know him.

Yan Shan: What is this person like?

Half-hearted Onmyoji: Why did you think of asking him?

Yan Shan: He climbed into my house from the balcony window in the middle of the night yesterday, left a pile of books, said that he would retake the exam if he failed the exam, and arranged a [-]-word thesis before he left, saying it was a gift for my meeting.I want to get to know him first, after all, I will spend my days under his hands in the future.

Half-baked onmyoji: Hehe.

Yan Shanxin said, what do you mean by "hehe"?I saw the other party then reply.

Half-hearted Onmyoji: I don't know much about him, so how about it, I'll make you happy by talking about other people's unhappy things.Do you know how many people you recruited this year?You are the only student of the demon class, and the demon class has recruited two.Do you know what the two students of the demon class are doing now?

Yan Shan: Why?

Half-baked onmyoji: Their professor asked them to find out the real ghosts that were photographed in horror movies according to the "Ghost Illustrated Book".Then write the scientific name of the ghost and its effect on living people.There are six places in Japan, South Korea, Thailand, the United States, Hong Kong, and mainland China. The two of them were asked to choose a horror film from a country and write it as a thesis.I probably cry watching horror movies now.

Yan Shan: ...

Half-hearted Onmyoji: So, just be content.
