Express delivery is a high-risk occupation

On a mid-spring afternoon, the windows were filled with green, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance of flowers.

Xu Mu sat behind the counter in Wanli Pavilion, holding a few English test papers, doing the questions while looking at the store.

The little stone armored beast squatted loyally on the counter, staring at the door with piercing eyes, as if no one could escape its discerning eyes.

Both Fuzhu and the five ghosts had gone to deliver the goods, there was no complaint on the counter, and there were no ghosts chatting on the eaves. The shop was very quiet, and only the rustling sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper could be heard.

【Master, a guest is coming! 】The little stone armor beast reported to Xu Mu in a childish voice.

"Hello, welcome to Wanli Pavilion." Xu Mu quickly raised his head from the English problem collection, smiled reflexively and said welcome words.He casually stroked the head of the little stone armored beast approvingly, this little guy is not only loyal, but also cute.

The person standing outside the threshold was very young, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but seemed to be a little malnourished, with clothes hanging in the air, and his figure looked even thinner than Xu Mu a bit.

The young man was carrying a yellow-brown suitcase in his hand. When Xu Mu raised his head, he met his eyes.

"Wanli Pavilion?" The young man put the suitcase in his hand on the ground, and studied the plaque on the lintel, "Has your pawn shop changed its name?"

The contents of the suitcase seemed to be very heavy, and there was a muffled "bang" when it was placed on the ground.

The suitcase was of a very old style, without pulleys and pull bars, so it could only be carried in the hand, and there were two belt-like buckle leather seals in symmetrical positions to prevent the suitcase from being accidentally unraveled on the way.

"Pawnshop?" Xu Mu blinked, "This is for express delivery, not a pawnshop."

The boy looked at him complainingly, "It's only been a few days, and you not only changed your name but also changed your career?"

Xu Mu: ...

"Did you remember the address wrong? The number 25 in front is the pawnshop." The courier brother paused for two seconds, dumbfounded.

Not to mention that Wanli Pavilion has been open for more than half a year, even before Wanli Pavilion was opened, this place was not a pawn shop. The Public Security Bureau bought this place and the house opposite eight or ninety years ago.To some extent, the title deed left behind can be called an antique.

The boy took another two steps back, raised his head to look at the house number in doubt, and then nodded firmly, "That's right, number 65, I was here last time as a puppet."

Xu Mu's forehead twitched violently, "Human skin?"

"That's right, I brought two more sets this time, and I want to pawn them together here." The boy tapped the suitcase at his feet with his chin.

Xu Mu couldn't help looking at the box with numbness, not seeming to think about the contents inside.

Skinning ghost, painted skin demon, and countless bloody legends flashed through the courier boy's mind, and he felt a dull pain in his scalp.

The demonic aura on this person is so faint that he can hardly feel it. Could it be that he is actually a murderous maniac who is good at hiding?

Do you want to talk to Zhou Ye on the opposite side and check it carefully?

Xu Mu secretly touched the Dao Talisman placed under the counter, bent his slightly stiff lips, and cautiously confirmed, "What you are talking about...couldn't be the kind of... skin peeled off from a person, right?"

"How is it possible?" The boy looked at him like an idiot.

Xu Mu couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had been dealing with monsters all day and was thinking too much.Turning around, he poured a glass of water and handed it to the boy, "It's quite hot, drink some water."

"As early as more than 300 years ago, the Human World Public Security Bureau notified all monsters living in the human world. Skinning and wearing human skin is not allowed." The boy took the water glass and sat down on the high-footed swivel chair outside the counter. Holding the water glass in both hands, he curled his lips regretfully, "In fact, leather is the most comfortable to wear."

Xu Mu who just picked up his cup: ...

"Since then, imitation leather things have become very valuable immediately, so I pawned these tired ones for some pocket money." The young man paused and looked at Xu Mu with great interest, "I The goods in the box are all good, do you want to try them?"

"Thank you, no need." The courier boy quickly waved his hand, I have a 100% original one myself!

"Really don't want it? Both men and women are available. The appearance is complete, and the fit and feel are guaranteed. It's similar to those animal skin suits you humans wear. Just now I saw a bear handing out leaflets at the corner." The boy didn't give up. the way.

"No, no, no." Xu Mu waved his hands hastily, is that a doll costume?Not called animal skins!

"It's just that the quality is a bit poor, and it feels uncomfortable when you wear it through." The young man complained in disgust.

Xu Mu quickly changed the subject, "Uh, I think the pawn shop you looked for should have moved away many years ago."

The young man frowned and looked at Xu Mu, "Really? Then do you know where the pawnshop moved?"

Xu Mu shook his head, he wasn't even sure if there was a pawnshop before, how could he know where the pawnshop moved? "This place was no longer a pawn shop before I was born. It is now a courier point. It is responsible for sending things to all parts of the Three Realms as required."

The boy propped his chin with one hand, his face was full of disappointment and loneliness, and he murmured, "How could this be?"

"No. 25 in front is also a pawn shop, why don't you go and have a look there?" Xu Mu suggested.There is still a pawn shop in Qingping Lane, on No. 35. However, it only opens two or three days a month. There is no rule, and it seems to depend on the owner's mood.

"It's too troublesome," the boy said impatiently, "You said just now that you can send things to the Three Realms here? How about sending this box to the Demon Realm?"

"It can be delivered within 24 hours to the demon world. Your box is relatively large, and the cost is 5 yuan. Do you have a specific address?" Xu Mu took out a special delivery note for the demon world with a light blue background and put it in front of him. "Please give the address and Fill in the recipient's information here."

The boy took the pen, "Can I give you one as a delivery fee?"

Xu Mu shook his head avoiding it, "Farewell, dear, you'd better keep it for yourself!"

Just as he was about to change the subject again, the mobile phone on the counter rang like a lifesaver.He smiled apologetically at the boy, and quickly grabbed his phone.

"Xiao Mu, I have a teacup here. There are two sentences on it, which seem to be written in Xiaozhuan. I will take a picture for you later, and help me translate it?" The voice of Young Master Wang was on the other end of the phone.

"Brother, wouldn't it be more convenient for you to ask Grandpa Song about this? My understanding is far behind that of the old man."

"Hey, such a trivial matter, how can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife."

The "chicken-killing knife" on the phone: ...

"Cough, I didn't mean that, Xiaomu. Don't mind. Brother Huihui treats you and A Yuan to a big meal." Young Master Wang laughed dryly and hung up the phone quickly.

"Here, the address, put the things here first, and I will send the money later."

ah?Put it here first?

Xu Mu subconsciously looked at the suitcase on the ground, and before he could refuse, the boy jumped off the chair talking to himself, and rushed out.

More than two hours later, the courier boy had finished making two rolls of paper and started sorting out today's courier order, but the boy hadn't come back yet.He had a headache and looked at the suitcase at the door, or send it away first?If you put it here, it's hard to think about the things inside.

When Feng Yuan stepped into the door, he saw his pet was looking at the old suitcase at the door with a troubled face, "Why, there are so many goods that they need to be piled up at the door?"

"This one is quite special." Xu Mu scratched his hair and told what happened just now. "Thinking about the things inside and thinking about the stories of those painted skins, it feels infiltrating."

Feng Yuan curled the corners of his lips narrowly, "Aren't you worried that he will change his skin after he goes out? Then you won't be able to find him again!"

Xu Mu: ...

Oops!

"You're kidding." Feng Yuan rubbed his head, "The evil spirit is the same as the pattern of human paper, each one is different. Based on the things he has used, it is not difficult to find it. However, they The monsters of this family are indeed very special, they cannot transform into shapes, they can only imitate them, so a layer of cover is needed outside."

Feng Yuan took a stack of courier slips and helped him organize them together, "Also, I have read a very wonderful file about the painted skin."

Xu Mu blinked, "A file from the Public Security Bureau?"

"There was a fox demon who wanted a chance to eat people, but she hid on the eaves every day and listened to the scholar's reading. Over time, she fell in love with her. She tried every means to find out from the scholar's friends what kind of scholar he liked, and gave him the way he liked. I drew a piece of skin by myself. The scholar really fell in love with her and married her. The two are very affectionate. Every time they go out, the scholar will put an umbrella and drape over his wife, lest she be tired in the sun. The fly in the ointment is that the fox demon's The demon power is low, and it can only last for about twelve hours. So it has to be repainted every day."

Xu Mu: ...

How does it sound like people wearing makeup nowadays?

"Then one day, the scholar woke up in the middle of the night and found a fox demon without painted skin..." Feng Yuan paused intentionally and looked at Xu Mu.

Xu Mu scratched his hair, "Scholar scared? Do you want to repent?"

"No, the scholar was stunned by the beauty of the fox demon. He asked the fox demon, "You are so beautiful, why do you paint yourself ugly? ""

Xu Mu: ...

"From then on, the fox demon no longer painted skin. A few years later, the scholar died of illness. The soul gave the fox demon a dream, "I will not be here in the future. When you go out, remember to wear a cloak to hide your tail." ""

Xu Mu curled his lips, "The scholar is really a gentle and kind person."

"Would you like to have me?" Feng Yuan squeezed his cheek narrowly, "Will I invite you to watch a movie later?"

"Let's forget about it today. Let's go see it another day after I finish my work?" After sorting out the list, I still need to do accounts, practice, draw talismans, do questions, and translate the pictures he will send to Wang Dashao. Today's time The queue is so full that I am afraid that even the meal time will have to be squeezed.

"But, the ticket has already been bought. At 09:30 in the evening, the most expensive IMAX hall." Feng Yuan sighed exaggeratedly, shaking the electronic ticket on his mobile phone, "If you don't go, it will be a waste."

Xu Mu: ...

In the end, Xu Mu got into Feng Yuan's car with the English test paper.

On the way home, Wang Dashao's photo was sent over belatedly. He took a piece of note paper from Feng Yuan's car, enlarged the photo, and read each word on it. When parking, he just wrote I wrote four words, [Spring Breeze Ten Miles] "It is probably the poem, "Ten Miles of Spring Breeze on Yangzhou Road, it is better to roll up bead curtains. "" Xu Muchao and Feng Yuan shook the note.

Feng Yuan raised his eyebrows and said narrowly, "I've heard another sentence before."

"???" Xu Mu waited for Feng Yuan to answer his questions with a question mark face, but the other party stopped the car and urged, "I'm home, get out of the car quickly."

Back home, Feng Yuan forcibly stopped Xu Mu from staying up late to help Wang Dashao translate on the grounds that "Young Master Wang is not in a hurry at first sight".You must not waste your welfare time for the broken photo!

The next morning, when Xu Mu woke up, Feng Yuan had already gone out.On the milk carton for breakfast was the sticky note he had yesterday, with four words written on it: Spring Breeze Ten Miles

I'd rather sleep with you

Xu Mu: ...

Who on earth lit up the rogue skills of the male god!
