Handbook of Nonhuman Research

After hearing the sound, Yan Jun came to look at the disaster scene below, which was as chaotic as the river bank of Wangchuan, his eyes swept over Xiao Yinlong and Taotie one by one, "Why are you here?"

There were two answers immediately below.

"I'm here to visit." The little silver dragon stood up with the head facing the gorgeous big horn, and the little Hades, who was still lying on its back, quickly jumped down, brushed the dust off his body, and obediently stood beside him with his head down.

"The decoration at home is too noisy." Taotie, who was squatting on the chair, also jumped up, holding his trousers tightly with both hands and standing upright, thinking that Yan Jun was asking himself.Those human beings were building a lot in the upper hall, making it so noisy that it couldn't sleep at all below. It had no choice but to pack up and go back to Beijing North, and rented a house here with the first sum of money it got.

"Yeah." Yan Jun nodded indifferently to the two little guys, and then said to the third watch, "The person who contacted last time came to mend the floor."

Lord Yan Jun is still able to control the situation!Zhao Wugou looked at the little guys below who stood upright like pocky biscuits, and secretly sighed.

In order to compensate for the gluttonous 'breakfast' and to entertain Xiao Yinlong, Zhao Wugou made an impromptu decision to cook seafood hot pot for everyone by himself.He is not very good at cooking, but since he was a child, he has helped Zhao's mother in the kitchen, preparing hot pot and so on, and it is not difficult for him.

To be on the safe side, Zhao Wugou first called his mother, and asked about the recipe of Zhao's special sauerkraut and seafood hotpot at home, and then opened the refrigerator to check the ingredients.The third watch and the fourth watch filled the refrigerator very much, and there were a lot of various meats, but there were no vegetables and hot pot seasonings.So I quickly wrote a list and asked the third and fourth to go out to purchase.

Afterwards, he picked out two pieces of beef and mutton, threw them to Danke to slice, and picked out a piece of pork belly, vermicelli, pork ribs and a chicken, soaked them in water, and then lit a fire to boil half a pot of water.

There were a lot of people, and among them was Taotie, who had a super fighting ability. Zhao Wugou planned to make two soup-based hot pots.One is a clear soup flavor, using pork bones and chicken bones as the soup base, there will be no problems, and the other is the sauerkraut and seafood pot secretly made by Zhao's mother, using sauerkraut, frozen tofu, vermicelli, and pork belly as the bottom of the pot, and then Shabu seafood, the taste is so fresh that people can't wait to swallow their tongues.

Hearing that he was going to cook, the three little ones rushed over in a hurry and offered to help.

Zhao Wugou, who was happy with the labor force, distributed them methodically one by one, two sinks, one for cleaning crabs and clams for Tao Tie, and one for cleaning conch and shrimps for Xiao Yinlong.

The intern stretched out two fingers to pick up a crab to show Taotie how to scrub the back shell. The crab stretched out its front pincers flamboyantly, but Zhao Wugou neatly turned it upside down.He could only wave his paws in vain to reveal his white belly.

"Be careful not to be pinched by it. The abdomen and crab claws should also be cleaned." Zhao Wugou pointed at the crab and instructed.

"Okay." Taotie took the brush obediently, and treated eating with sincerity and meticulousness.

"First brush the shell of the conch, and then soak it in salt water. After the shrimp is soaked in water, pick the shrimp thread." Zhao Wugou grabbed the baseball-sized conch and shrimp and showed Xiao Yinlong a demonstration.Thanks to Zhao's mother's years of kitchen training, he is very proficient in making these.Xiao Yinlong stared intently.

Putting down the conch, Zhao Wugou washed the almost soaked pork ribs and chicken, threw them into the pot of boiling water and continued cooking.

"Daddy!" Seeing that Zhao Wugou was busy like a spinning top, before it was 'work' Xiao Baozi anxiously tugged on his pajama pants.

"Here," Zhao Wugou reluctantly handed him the spoon and bowl in his hand, "You are in charge of watching this pot of soup, and if there is any minced meat, just take it out and put it in the bowl."

The little bun nodded solemnly.

After explaining for a while, Zhao Wugou looked back again, the painting style in the kitchen was completely wrong.

Efficiency-seeking Dan Ke used seven or eight branches to hold all types of knives in the kitchen, slashing and slashing, the movements were so fast that there were afterimages.

"Stand still!" Taotie ordered with the instructor's dignity while holding the brush.The crabs in the tank obediently held their pincers high and stood neatly in a row. One by one, they walked up to Taotie. They raised their pincers and claws from the front and back, and followed each command with one movement. The coordination was like military training fists.

Looking at Xiao Yinlong, it seems to have opened a seafood bathhouse, with a prawn standing behind each conch, directly providing one-on-one back scrubbing service, and scrubbing in full swing.

Zhao Wugou: ……………

The interns seriously doubt that when they eat hot pot later, these two guys can also order these things to perform high diving directly on the side of the hot pot.

Compared with the previous few, the little bun who drank all the minced meat secretly was already considered the most serious.

Half an hour later, when the middle of the night handed the sauerkraut bag to Zhao Wugou, the people in the kitchen didn't notice anything unusual.Zhao Wugou took a deep breath and opened his pocket. The poisonous gas bomb-like smell caused the people with keen sense of smell to bounce away instantly, causing all kinds of pots and pans to jingle, and the kitchen was full of chaos.

Taotie pinched his nose and couldn't bear to look straight at him, "I bet the zombies that jumped out of those graves taste better than this stuff."

The little silver dragon held his two front paws hesitantly. The 3000-year-old mud under the Tianchi Lake smelled fresher than this thing.

"Daddy, are you out of money again?" Little Baozi stared at Zhao Wugou seriously with a wrinkled face.Are we all poor enough to eat spoiled vegetables?

Zhao Wugou: ……………

You'd better not eat it for a while.

Excluding the episode of sauerkraut, with the efforts of all the child labor kitchen helpers, all the side dishes were ready at twelve o'clock.

Everyone sat down at a table lively, um, to be precise, Zhao Wugou and Yan Jun were sitting, Taotie was squatting on the stool, little Hades was floating in the air, and little Yinlong was coiled up on the four o'clock and deliberately moved over. on the hanger.

Two copper hot pots, Zhao Wugou deliberately put the sauerkraut one in front of him.As soon as the soup base was bubbling, Xiao Baozi, Xiao Yinlong, and Tao Tie hurriedly grabbed what they wanted to eat and poured it into the clear soup base made of pork ribs and chicken.

Zhao Wugou slowly picked up a few shrimps and crabs and threw them into the bottom of the sauerkraut pork belly pot.

"About the haunted house, the shopkeeper of the pawnshop found the news." Yan Jun turned his head and said to Zhao Wugou, "The shopkeeper of Tengyuanzhai received a ticket for the sale of the golden coffin at the end of 38. Besides the golden coffin, there are also There are quite a lot of jewelry and jade. A few foreigners went to him to make a fool of themselves. The shopkeeper excused that they were dug up. The price was half of the market price, and he made a fortune. He still remembered that when he took the notes, There are a few foreigners, there is a pair of father and son, there is a man with six fingers on his left hand, and there is a man who is like a mute, and he has not made a sound during the whole process."

The intern slowly added the vermicelli into it again, "It seems that at least those few people ran by themselves."

"En." Yan Jun moved his jaw lightly, "Congratulations, you have solved another outstanding case."

Zhao Wugou picked up the Coke on the table and lightly touched Yan Jun's cup, "We broke it."

Hearing the word 'we', the smile in Yan Jun's eyes grew stronger.

"By the way, it just so happened that Zhou Feng asked me to do something. It might have something to do with monsters. I plan to go and have a look after get off work tomorrow." Zhao Wugou told Yan Jun about what Zhou Feng asked him to do yesterday.

The little bun on the other side was attracted by the aroma of the sauerkraut pot. He couldn't help but pick up a shrimp and taste the soup. His eyes lit up immediately, it was so fragrant!Quickly and decisively poured half a plate of shrimp into it.

The Taotie next to him followed suit and tasted a piece of pork belly, which was so delicious that he almost swallowed it with chopsticks.

After Xiao Yinlong took the crab, he immediately moved to the battle position, and never touched the clear soup pot again.

When the little ones were busy with 'True Fragrance', Zhao Wugou also finished the matter, Yan Jun didn't object, but just said as usual, "I will accompany you tomorrow."

The little bun who was eating with a crab leg vaguely heard the end of Yan Jun's words, and immediately expressed his position without even clarifying the matter, "Daddy, I'm going too."

"What's the matter? Is it fun? Can you take me with you?" Glutton, who was feasting with his rice bowl, was sensitive and felt that there was something exciting to join in.Anyway, the house was broken, so I couldn't sleep well during construction, and I was idle when I was idle.

"If necessary, I can also help." Xiao Yinlong said in a polite tone, but his eyes were full of enthusiasm to join in the fun.

Yan Jun glanced coldly, no, no, no need, refuse San Lian.

Xiao Yinlong lowered his head in disappointment.

"The two of them are really small. I haven't fully recovered my spiritual power after being reincarnated, and it's not a real cub." Taotie muttered depressingly.

"This king is three and a half years old." Not young at all!Xiao Baozi held up the crab claws and looked at Taotie unconvinced.Then he looked at Zhao Wugou aggrievedly, "Daddy, why do you take your father and me instead of me if you have something fun to do?"

Seeing Xiao Baozi's condemning and sad eyes, the intern couldn't help but explain, "We are visiting someone else's house tomorrow, and it would be impolite to bring too many people there."

"It's okay, I can turn into a prototype and hang it on it!" Taotie pointed to Zhao Wugou's backpack hanging at the door, "I promise others won't see it. I promise I won't eat their stuff."

"I can do it too." Little Silver Dragon raised his paw.

"This king can do it too." Seeing the little silver dragon raised his claws, the little Hades said not to be outdone.

Zhao Wugou: ……………

Do you want to make a pendant too?

In the end, it was Zhao Wugou who compromised. Judging by this posture, if he disagreed, they would most likely follow invisibly.They are better to see in the bright place, but it is not good if they cause trouble in the dark.

At the same time, he also established a rule, without his own permission, he is not allowed to make any noise, and he is not allowed to change shape at will.

As soon as he entered the employment agency the next day, Zhao Wugou, who was frantically hanging a string of gorgeous 'dolls' on his backpack, immediately received countless attentions, and then he dodged.

In the hall, no matter the people filling out the form, the monsters waiting for service, or the people at the reception desk, they all shivered and huddled together in the corners farthest from him.

To them, Taotie, Little Silver Dragon and Little Baozi are real monsters, the kind that don't even need to reason about eating them.This person can actually hang them all on the bag, so how powerful is this human being?

The eyes of all the monsters were startled and fearful, and there was also some inexplicable worship mixed in.

Zhao Wugou: ……………

Too bad, although these little guys can shrink to about ten centimeters in size, they can't hide their aura like Yan Jun, scaring other monsters.

Afraid of causing another panic, Zhao Wugou didn't dare to take his eyes off the backpack all afternoon, for fear of accidentally getting the bad news that a colleague was 'eaten'.

The appointment time between Zhao Wugou and Zhou Feng was 07:30, both of them politely moved 10 minutes earlier, and they met in the elevator lobby.

Zhou Feng's cousin is called Li Xiang. He is a sports boy who loves running and basketball. The lines of his biceps and triceps can't be hidden in a sweater.

When he heard that Zhao Wugou wanted to buy antiques, Li Xiang looked suspiciously at the pile of cartoon doll 'pendants' on his bag, "Are you a Gemini?"

Understanding his subtext was "Why are your hobbies so divided?" Zhao Wugou's smile was a bit broken when he stepped into the elevator, and he quickly blamed Yan Jun, "Actually, my boss wants to buy it."

"Oh." Li Xiang showed the original expression, and pressed the button on the 8th floor. The big boss wanted to buy antiques to show off, which sounded much more reasonable.

The room dedicated to storing antiques is not too big, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, with an area of ​​[-] to [-] square meters.

The walls of the entrance hall, living room and two south-facing bedrooms are covered with calligraphy and paintings. In the north-facing room, apart from the washroom, even the kitchen has been transformed into a showroom, displaying all kinds of porcelain.

Zhao Wugou glanced twice, it turned out to be the kitchen room, and on the outermost shelf were two vases, with four deer and four reed geese painted respectively.All the patterns carved on utensils by craftsmen in ancient China must have meanings, and they must be auspicious.For example, the business bottles in front of you represent the meanings of 'Lu Lu Gao Sheng' and 'Fei Ming Board and Lodging' respectively.

The paintings on the porch are also mostly auspicious, such as a magpie standing on a branch of plum blossoms, implying happiness.

Going further inside, there is a sofa bed laid out carelessly in the living room, and a flat and long horizontal hand-scroll painting hangs on most of the wall of the living room, the famous "Han Xizai Night Banquet Picture".However, it is not the silk version of the original, but a painting on rice paper, with strong and smooth lines and elegant and delicate brushwork. Although it is not as good as the original, it is still a rare work.Playing the pipa, watching dances, resting between banquets, blowing the air, and seeing off guests, the five scenes of the Hanfu banquet are vividly performed.Looking at the signature, it was copied by a painter named Gu Xun in the Ming Dynasty.

"Come on, just take a look, and just ask for a price if you like it." Li Xiang sat down on the sofa bed with his head in his arms, signaling that they don't have to be restrained to look at it casually.

Zhou Feng followed, "Why, did you hear it again?"

Li Xiang nodded, "It's very noisy."

Zhou Feng looked at Zhao Wugou for help.

"Is it too tired recently? I also often get tinnitus." Zhao Wugou answered.

"You have tinnitus too?" Li Xiang looked at Zhao Wugou sympathetically.

The intern nodded, and said seriously, "I often hear a loud thunder before I get up."

"Every time I enter this room, I still hear a very loud sound, but it's not thunder, it's the sound of playing and singing." Li Xiang pointed to the picture of a night banquet on the wall with a beautiful woman in ancient costume holding a pipa and a horizontal hand. The five musicians in the row, "just like the one in this painting. Singing every night."

Zhao Wugou secretly looked at Yan Jun, is there any problem with this painting?

The sound of playing and singing that Li Xiang heard was indeed very consistent with the content of this painting.

Yan Jun shook his head silently, there was no aura in the painting.

No?impossible?Zhao Wugou was stunned.

The two turned around a few rooms, and there were only three objects that could be used with musical instruments so that people could not sleep because of the nightly singing and singing. In addition to the night banquet picture in the living room, it was a pair of porcelain rap figurines, and there was a painting of four The square appreciation bottle of the big beauty.

However, none of these three things appeared with aura.

On the other hand, on a light green incense burner from the Qing Dynasty in the second bedroom, there is a small artifact lying on its stomach.The villain is dressed as a scholar, wearing a long gown of the same color as the incense burner.

The little scholar looked curiously at the string of 'dolls' on Zhao Wugou's backpack, and met the little Yama's eyes.

The little bun couldn't hold back, and blinked.

"Ghost!" Seeing the doll blinking, the scholar yelled sadly, turned around and jumped back to the incense burner in fright.

Zhao Wugou: ……………

Are you afraid of ghosts?

Yan Jun didn't need to do anything at all, the monster-hunting squad composed of several little 'dolls' jumped over and caught the little scholar out in minutes.

Under the threat of violence from the little fellows, the little scholar knelt on the lid of the incense burner pitifully and confessed, "This man has always looked down on us old things. Xiaosheng is just a little angry and teased him a few times, but it's just something that made him fall. , or hide his belongings and other pranks. But playing music or something, let alone no musical instruments, Xiaosheng just wants to play, and he can’t do it!"

Zhao Wugou frowned, "Then have you heard the sound of silk and bamboo?"

"No," the little scholar flattened the hem of his gown, and said firmly, "I have lived here for a long time, and I have never heard such a sound."
