79. Chapter 76


Chapter 76

"My shoes are torn, my hat is torn, my cassock is torn; you laugh at me, he laughs at me, a fan is torn..."

Xue Liangliang reached out and turned up the volume.

The next moment, except Li Zhuiyuan, everyone in the car sang in unison:

"Namo Amitabha, Namo Amitabha..."

The TV series "Ji Gong" starring You Benchang has been released for several years and is still popular today.

After the song ended, the car finally became quiet.

Yinmeng asked: "How long does it take to get to Jinling?"

Xue Liangliang: "It will be there in a few hours."

"Then it's pretty close to the provincial capital."

"Is it close?" Xue Liangliang smiled and said, "Jinling is the provincial capital of Jiangsu, but most cities in the province are not that close to Jinling. On the contrary, it is my hometown in Anhui, and it is more convenient to go to Jinling."

"Isn't this close?"

"This is not bad..." Xue Liangliang remembered that Yinmeng was from Fengdu and the provincial capital was Chengdu. "Yes, compared to your place, it is indeed much closer, but you generally don't go to Rongcheng. The mountain city is more convenient.”

"I came back with you last time and passed by on the way. It was my first time in a mountain city in my life."

Tan Wenbin slapped his forehead and said regretfully: "If you had told me earlier, if you had known we would have stayed in the mountain city for two more days to play with you."

Yin Meng said sadly: "I originally thought Nantong would be more fun."

She has actually lived in Li Sanjiang's house for a long time. At first, she also went to the city and visited scenic spots, but she didn't find it interesting.

Especially just after the New Year, Li Sanjiang was going to Langshan to burn incense, and Yinmeng also went with him. As a result, when climbing the mountain, she reached the top of the mountain before she even felt warmed up.

Therefore, in the future, even if she has no work to do and has free time, she would rather watch TV and practice Kung Fu at home instead of running out.

Yinmeng asked again: "Is Jinling fun?"

Xue Liangliang said: "Don't expect too much from the natural scenery. It will definitely not be as good as your hometown, but there are many cultural attractions here.

By the way, last time Xiaoyuan came to Jinling and went back after taking the exam, and didn't have much fun. Now you have time to go shopping. Let him take you there, and he can be a tour guide. ”

Li Zhuiyuan responded: "Yes."

Tan Wenbin opened a bottle of soda, took a sip, and said: "Whether it is a scenic spot or not is secondary, the main thing is whether it is dead or not. It is not easy to leave my hometown, but I have to make a good profit.

Brother Liangliang, do you know where there are so many dead people near our school? ”

Xue Liangliang: "The question is, if I knew this, would I still be alive to get to know you?"

Tan Wenbin looked at Li Zhuiyuan again and asked: "Brother Xiaoyuan, can you find the fishing spot?"

Li Zhuiyuan thought for a while and said: "Actually, from a Feng Shui perspective, it is easier for us to come across dirty things when we get together."

"Ah?" Tan Wenbin scratched his head, "Why does it feel like a math problem?"

"Almost, we only have four corpse collectors here." Li Zhuiyuan glanced at Xue Liangliang who was driving, "There is also a son-in-law from the Bai family who came to visit."

Xue Liangliang: "You have to add the word 'come to the door'?"

Li Zhuiyuan spread his hands: "Put five cleaning balls together, the surrounding area will be too clean, and it will naturally attract some dirty things to even it out."

Tan Wenbin understood and said: "It means that as long as we get together, the probability of encountering dirty things under normal circumstances is much higher than that of normal people?"

"Yeah." Li Zhuiyuan nodded, "If you still look for it subjectively, the probability will be even greater."

Tan Wenbin clapped his hands and said: "Okay, from now on I will change my morning jogging to night jogging by the river."

Xue Liangliang shook his head and sighed: "Binbin, you are really hungry."

Tan Wenbin glanced at Xue Liangliang: "Brother Liang, you are a full man and don't know how hungry a man is."

"Xiao Yuan, you can just play in the days before school starts, and you can also experience college life for a while after school starts. When the teacher is finished with his work, a new project will be started, and people will be transferred from the school. You It’s definitely inside.”

"Okay."

Tan Wenbin asked: "What about me?"

Xue Liangliang joked: "Aren't you going to run at night?"

"Brother Liang~ I'm wrong~"

"Ren Xiaoyuan hasn't entered school yet, and he has done countless graduation projects."

"I was busy with the college entrance examination. Is it still too late for me to take up professional courses? However, I don't have the brains of Brother Xiaoyuan."

"Don't worry, I'm scaring you. Xiaoyuan or I just go and tell the teacher. Each project team has a labor share, and there are only two requirements: one is a major in the school, and the other is a person with sound limbs. What a coincidence, you meet the conditions. ”

"As long as you can get in, then, after you get in, will it be like the last time you went to Wanzhou, where you don't have to stay in school anymore?"

"Yeah."

"Tsk, the gap in freedom between college and high school is really huge."

“It’s the boss who has a big gap.”

After the truck entered Jinling City, it drove straight to the north gate of the school and was stopped by security guards.

Xue Liangliang stuck his head out of the car window and called uncle a few times. The security guard opened the door with a smile and even skipped the registration step.

Entering through the north gate is the living area, where the cafeteria and dormitory building are located. Li Zhuiyuan and Tan Wenbin live in the same dormitory in the corner of the third floor of the ninth building in Area B.

This dormitory is quiet, and unlike the six-person rooms in other dormitories, there are only two beds here.

"Wow, that's so good." Tan Wenbin couldn't help but admire after putting down his luggage.

"The preferential accommodation is already included in Xiaoyuan's early admission conditions, but I just inserted you as Xiaoyuan's roommate."

"The teacher is so kind."

"Don't thank the wrong person. How could the teacher care about this? I arranged for you to come in through my connections."

"Brother Liang, are you so good at talking at school?"

"I opened a few small businesses in school and met some people."

Everyone worked together and quickly cleaned the dormitory. After making the bed and placing daily necessities, everyone left the dormitory.

Xue Liangliang took everyone to a two-story building. On the left side of the door was a "College Student Activity Center" sign, and on the right side was a "Fair Price Store."

The store is quite large and has a wide variety of items.

Because it is still summer vacation, there are not many students, so there is a fair-faced boy reading a book on the counter, and an auntie is cracking melon seeds on the other side.

Seeing Xue Liangliang coming, they each put down their books and melon seeds and came over.

"Senior, you are here."

"Well, Zhihua." Xue Liangliang patted the boy's shoulder with his right hand, took out two purchase orders from his pocket with his left hand, and handed them to the boy.

After the boy took the purchase order, his eyes widened immediately.

"Senior, please listen to my explanation, I..."

"Do you know, if I apply to school for this matter, you will definitely not be able to graduate."

"Senior, I was wrong. I'm sorry for you. I'll pay you back..."

"There's no need to pay it back. Just tidy up the accounts and then you can leave. I'll pretend that this never happened."

"Thank you, senior, thank you."

The boy put the account book and keys on the counter, then took his book and left as if running away.

Xue Liangliang picked up the key and handed it to Yin Meng: "Here, you will take care of this store."

Yinmeng hurriedly waved her hands and said: "How can I take care of it..."

"Didn't you say you had opened a shop before?"

"It was opened, but it is about to close down."

"It's okay. I just renewed my contract with the school at the beginning of the year. There are still three years left. It's exclusive to Area B. You just have to sit at the counter and collect the money."

"That's OK."

"Now during the summer vacation, there are not many people left. When school starts, we have to select seven or eight poor students from the list given by the school to help with groceries and moving goods."

Runsheng said: "I will just move the goods, there is no need to recruit people."

Xue Liangliang waved his hand: "That's not possible. Providing work-study positions is a political task. Are you the exclusive one here so you can sign so well?"

"Then let me stay and help." Runsheng still felt that working here would allow him to be closer to Xiaoyuan.

"That's no problem." Xue Liangliang pointed downstairs, "The upstairs is the rehearsal room, where some advance rehearsals for student activities will be held. There is a half-floor basement downstairs, which I use as a warehouse, but below I There are several small rooms separated by water, electricity and bathrooms, but the lighting is not that good. Aunt Sun usually lives here. ”

The aunt who was eating melon seeds earlier smiled and said: "Yes, that's right, I live here."

Xue Liangliang continued: "What I mean is that you two can take a look at the environment below. If you think it is suitable, you can live here first. This is a house I rent outside the school. I will give you the key and address. The main thing is to live far away from the outside. It’s also troublesome to get in and out of the school.”

Xue Liangliang handed a key and a piece of paper with the address to Runsheng.

Runsheng didn't answer and pointed down: "Then we'll live down there."

"You also have the key to the house outside, I still have it over there."

"Okay."

"Let's move things first, and then let's go eat. Now the school cafeteria is basically open with a few small windows closed, but there is really not much to eat. There is a Sichuan restaurant outside the north gate, and the taste is very authentic."

The shortcomings of the semi-basement room are that it doesn't have good lighting and is prone to moisture, but this is not a problem at all for Runsheng and Yinmeng. They are afraid of the tide and become ghost fishermen.

Tan Wenbin was particularly satisfied with the room here. If he didn't need to go to the dormitory to accompany Xiaoyuan, he would really like to sleep here. After all, he has been used to sleeping in coffins for such a long time.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Yinmeng was a woman, someone like Runsheng could have stayed in the dormitory directly. At most, he would have been taken care of by the dormitory aunt. As for the dormitory check by the student union, they were nothing.

The little black dog raised at home has also grown up, but it still eats and sleeps all day long, and has entered a pure retirement life earlier than Li Sanjiang. Runsheng unloaded the dog and the dog cage from the truck and moved it to his room in the basement.

After exiting the north gate, we came to the Sichuan restaurant. The big sign said "Old Sichuan" and the small sign said "Wanzhou Grilled Fish".

Although it was a holiday, there were still several tables of customers in the store, which was an incredible achievement for a restaurant next to the school.

Most of the shops on a nearby street are closed and will not reopen until students start school.

After Xue Liangliang entered the store, the boss, his wife, his daughter and son-in-law all came out to say hello, which seemed overly enthusiastic.

Yinmeng was very happy when she heard the local accent. Xue Liangliang asked Yinmeng to go to the kitchen to watch the ordering.

After all, it's still off-season, so there won't be too many dishes prepared, so you can't just look at the menu on the wall and order casually.

Tan Wenbin picked up the teapot on the table and poured water for everyone, and then asked Xue Liangliang: "Brother Liang, it seems that you are really a frequent visitor here.

Li Zhuiyuan picked up the teacup and said, "This shop is opened by Brother Liangliang."

Tan Wenbin blinked hard: "Brother Liang, is it true?"

Xue Liang nodded his head: "I invested in this store after I came back from Wanzhou last time. I invited the boss and his family, but they also own shares. They are not just working for me."

"Brother Liang, you are so awesome. Why don't you do business full time? I think you can definitely make a lot of money that way."

"Why didn't you do "Chasing the Secret Scroll"?"

"I..."

“There’s no joy in making money as much as building a dam.”

Li Zhuiyuan took a sip of tea and then silently put down the cup.

He was used to drinking Liu Yumei's tea, and now he had it in his mouth.

The dishes came out quickly, including a grilled fish dish.

"Hey." Xue Liangliang raised his chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish, "The main reason why I chose this restaurant is to make it easier for myself to eat."

Runsheng: "It should be opened on the bank of the Yangtze River, which is more convenient."

Xue Liangliang turned back to the kitchen and shouted: "Cook one more bucket of rice. There is someone here who has a big appetite and there is not enough rice to stop his mouth."

After eating, Xue Liangliang drove the truck away. He had to report back to Luo Gong.

Runsheng and Yinmeng went to the store. Taking advantage of the off-season, they had to get familiar with it quickly.

Li Zhuiyuan and Tan Wenbin returned to the dormitory. Tan Wenbin took out their clothes from their luggage bags and hung them up and said:

"Xiaoyuan, do you think that the student who was originally guarding the store was deliberately taken away by Brother Liang?"

"Yeah."

"I even suspect that Brother Liang specially found someone to lure him to take kickbacks so that he could be fired. But why did he do this? Why didn't this person have clean hands and feet? Why didn't he be fired earlier?"

"Brother Liangliang no longer has the energy to take care of school affairs. If someone else takes charge, he might be greedy. This person will be less greedy."

"Tsk, Brother Liang is so brave. He gave it to the store as soon as he came. From now on, we can just go to Runsheng to get food and drinks, hahaha."

Li Zhuiyuan sat down at the desk, but did not rush to open the book in front of him. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the tree outside the window.

I still remember the first time I met Brother Liangliang, it was on the embankment of "Ciaohe" in my hometown.

At that time, Brother Liangliang, although he had shown a completely different temperament from others, he still had a youthfulness and shyness about him.

Over the past year, Brother Liangliang has traveled extensively with Luo Gong, and he has indeed become more mature and capable.

Yes, everyone is actually changing.

For example, after hanging up his clothes, Tan Wenbin put on a vest and sports shorts.

"Brother Binbin, are you really going for a night run?"

"That's right."

"Then why did you take a shower just now?"

"I'm afraid you will be embarrassed to wash alone."

"Oh."

"Let's go, Brother Yuanzi."

"Be safe."

"What you said is right. How can I encounter dirty things on my first day of living in the school before school starts?"

"Don't say such things."

"Hey, I did it on purpose."

After Tan Wenbin went downstairs, he saw the dormitory aunt moving things, so he took the initiative to help. Then he was invited by the dormitory aunt to go to the office to drink a glass of water and chat for a while.

After running out of the dormitory building, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and the light at the cheap store not far away was still on.

Tan Wenbin started running in the opposite direction. When he planned to circle back, if Runsheng and the others were still there, he would go to the store and ask for a bottle of soda.

The place I saw during the day looked completely different at night, and since it was a holiday, the school seemed very empty and quiet.

Tan Wenbin ran to a small artificial lake. It was called a lake, but it was actually a larger pond.

Not long after running along the lake, the same sound of running came from behind.

Moreover, the person behind took the initiative to say: "Hey, hello, classmate!"

Tan Wenbin immediately quickened his pace and changed from running flat to running.

"Hey, classmate, why are you running?"

After running a long distance, Tan Wenbin gradually slowed down and stopped. When he looked back, he found that no one was there.

"Yeah, why should I run?"

He was the one who obviously wanted to try his luck, but when it happened, his first reaction was to run away.

"It should be that I have lived a comfortable life for too long and haven't entered the state yet. Well, it's definitely not me, Mr. Ye, who is a dragon."

In the bedroom, Li Zhuiyuan was reading a book under the lamp.

The new environment is a good background atmosphere for reading.

"Tick...tick...tick..."

In the corridor outside the bedroom, footsteps could be heard from far to near.

Li Zhuiyuan raised his head, it was not Tan Wenbin who was back, because it was impossible for Binbin to run in high heels.

"Tick...tick...tick..."

The sound got closer and closer, and finally, it reached the end of this floor and stopped.

Immediately afterwards,

A gentle rub.

He turned around and faced the bedroom door.

"Duo... Duo... Duo..."

There was a knock on the door, and every knock was muffled, echoing in the cold corridor.

"Brother Binbin, you don't actually need to run at night."

Li Zhuiyuan closed the book, opened the desk drawer, and took out a purple whip from inside.

A total of four demon-subduing whips were made, the others were all black, and only Li Zhuiyuan's one was purple.

Because Ah Li shaved off all the remaining skins of the old memorial tablets and wrapped them up bit by bit.

Holding the whip, he stood up.

"Crack!"

Li Zhuiyuan turned off the desk lamp, and the light in the bedroom dropped sharply. Too bright a lamp could easily ruin the atmosphere.

There was a knock on the bedroom door, so there was a pause.

Li Zhuiyuan walked towards the bedroom door and turned off the ceiling light on the way. The bedroom was plunged into complete darkness. This was the best background color.

The knocking outside the door became slower.

The boy stood in front of the door and said: "The door is unlocked."

Knocking sound, stuck.

The boy reached out and grabbed the door handle. Without hesitation, he opened the door completely with a "squeak" sound.

Outside, there was no one.

Li Zhuiyuan held the whip, walked out of the dormitory, and deliberately closed the dormitory door.

"Bang!"

From the area at the other end of the corridor, the sound of "tick-tick...tick-tock..." came from the high heels, but no one could be seen.

Li Zhuiyuan took the initiative to walk over there, but before he could get closer to the voice, the boy gradually started running.

"Tick-tock! Tick-tock! Tick-tock!"

The high heels became more and more urgent and farther and farther away, and finally disappeared completely.

Li Zhuiyuan stopped,

It ran away.
