Express delivery is a high-risk occupation

"There's still time, let's go to the opposite side, just to help our dean bring some familiar Xuan as souvenirs." Feng Yuan put all the yellow paper in his hand into the trunk of the car, seeing Xu Mu staring at the signboard of Ronghuazhai opposite, Suggested to go along with the flow.

Seeing the store sign, Feng Yuan knew that the owner of this store should be Lin Huachun who elicited Zhi Ling to elope last time.

"En." Xu Mu nodded, and then put the yellow paper in his hand into the trunk, and went in to have a look, did the paper spirit really come back after traveling thousands of miles?

Ronghuazhai is the door face of the five-bay room. On both sides of the door are walnut wood couplets painted with gold lacquer.The couplets seem to be quite old, and the gold paint in some places has faded, but it just perfectly sets off the charm of the old store.

The shop is very quiet. There are seven or eight rows of red lacquer shelves vertically. The outer rows display raw Xuan, cooked Xuan and semi-cooked Xuan. The row closest to the wall contains plain white albums, letterheads, and antique couplets. And other rice paper products.

Below each shelf, palm-sized labels are used to mark the words and prices of "waxan, alum, sexuan, four feet, five feet, foot eight screens, two feet, double thinking, ribbing" and other words and prices, so that customers can find themselves required varieties and specifications.The labels are all handwritten with a calligraphy brush, the font is elegant and elegant, revealing a strong bookish atmosphere.

"All the rice paper on the shelf is in stock. You two can look at it freely. Call me if you need introduction." A pair of wooden screens on a dull cabinet.

At the end of the main entrance against the wall, there is an extremely long glass cabinet, above which there is a framed calligraphy that reads, "Be upright, pass on your innocence to the family".There are two curtains hanging on both sides of the glass cabinet, which seem to lead to the inner courtyard.

Xu Mu and Feng Yuan walked a few steps in, only to see what was displayed in the glass cabinet. It was not paper, but a hand scroll several meters long.

"Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival?" Xu Mu stared at the hand scroll through the glass. The contents of the painting were too familiar. However, the genuine copy of this painting seems to be in the Forbidden City, right?The inscription at the beginning of the hand scroll is very similar to the font on the top of the cabinet, and it is probably written by the same person.

"It's a one-to-one imitation. Look at this bridge. The lines are too rough. The wooden arches at the bottom of the bridge are uneven in thickness and the crossing positions are not enough. As a boundary painting, it is somewhat distorted. The real one not only has smooth lines, but the wooden columns Slender and well-proportioned, the structure of the Hongqiao at the bottom is also extremely regular." Feng Yuan casually pointed to an arch bridge above to answer his questions.

"Brother, you are really amazing!" The courier brother's black eyes are full of admiration, the male god is simply an artificial encyclopedia, with its own search engine attributes, and knows everything.

"The main reason is that I happened to study the bridge on the painting back then." Feng Yuan rubbed the stupid hair on the top of his pet's head, "This wooden bridge belongs to the stacked beam arch bridge, which is a unique wooden arch structure in Huaguo. The Hongqiao structure, in which large logs are interspersed and stacked to form a wooden arch, has created a very clever construction technique of using shorter timbers to build a larger span. In addition, it is completely connected by a mortise and tenon structure. The gaps in the legs are used for shock absorption. It can provide a lot of reference for the design, calculation and construction of reinforced concrete structures and steel pipe structure stacked girder arch bridges. Such a large span and width as shown in the picture has been lost since the Song Dynasty. It's a good source of research."

"Sister, I dreamed about that girl again just now, and I still think that I should try the calendering method she said!" A young man wearing black-rimmed glasses excitedly raised the curtain and stepped into the shop from the back door, and found a The guests were still standing, so they embarrassedly apologized to Xu Mu and Feng Yuan, "Sorry, didn't I scare you?"

He was wearing a clean white shirt, with mild eyebrows, and two dimples when he smiled, just like the warm sun in March, which made people feel comfortable all over.

Xu Mu quickly shook his head, this person should be Lin Huachun, right?

"You, you, you go crazy when you mention making stencils." Before Feng Yuan and the others could say anything, the woman with the rag began to scold the young man wearing glasses.

The young man hurriedly turned around to pick up the rag in the woman's hand, and wiped it for her twice in a fawning manner, "Sister, it's okay this time, I've followed the five steps she said several times, and the more I think about it, the more reasonable it is, that's it. It's a pity that she didn't finish the last few words."

The middle-aged woman thought his hands were clumsy, so she snatched the dishcloth back, "Lin Huachun, you didn't say that there were no problems when you failed dozens of times before?"

youth:………………

"What's more, how can the method of dreaming be reliable? You should watch a series, and finish it in several episodes?"

"Sister~, even if I don't succeed, I can always sum up some experience and let the descendants of our Lin family continue to try. Didn't Dad often say that life is short, but skills last forever."

"Okay, okay, I got it. I've come to visit the store these few days. If you want to try it, you can try it. How to say, restoring wax paper is also our father's wish. But there is only one thing. Don't put it on like last time. I made myself sick."

"I know I know~"

Xu Mu pursed his lips, dreaming that a girl told him how to make stencil paper?Could it be a paper spirit?

"Accompany me to see Shuxuan over there." Feng Yuan patted the courier boy on the shoulder and motioned him to accompany him to the grid next to him.

Where will the paper spirit be when it comes back?Xu Mu followed behind Feng Yuan, looking at the rows of red-lacquered shelves, trying to find paper similar in appearance to that piece of wax paper.

"Xuebi, can you feel the demonic aura of the paper spirit last time?" Xu Mu hid at the corner of the grid, squeezed the unicorn bead on the backpack, and asked in a low voice.

[The second row of shelves against the wall, the second from the left on the fourth floor. 】After a few seconds, Fu Zhu replied slowly, 【However, its evil spirit is much weaker than before, and it is not enough to eat. 】

Xu Mu: ……………

"Brother, I'll go and have a look at the shelf at the back." Xu Mu said hello to Feng Yuan, and then walked to the place Fu Zhu said.

"Hmm." Feng Yuan, who was holding double-rib rice paper, looked at his back and hooked the corners of his lips, and responded casually.

【why is it you again? 】Zhi Ling's voice was as proud as ever, but faintly revealing a faint weakness like the end of a crossbow.

The courier brother carefully looked at the shelf on the fourth floor. There was a piece of ordinary orange-red rice paper on that position. Compared with Kuwajian's six-figure net worth, the price was simply shockingly cheap.

Xu Mu: ……………

It's so hard for you to pretend to be an ordinary sex declaration, my lady... you have worked hard.

There is no pattern on the color sheet, and even the luster seems to be much dimmer than before.What Fu Zhu said just now, is it because of the loss of its evil energy?

"You came back to help him make stencils?"

【certainly. 】Zhi Ling sighed, seeming a little haggard.

Xu Mu asked tentatively, "You fell into his dream?"

[The only way I know to communicate with him directly, unfortunately, this method of dreaming is too detrimental, but only twice, my current demon energy has been lost by more than half, and I am afraid that I will re-enter spiritual cultivation after a while Expect. 】The paper spirit's voice is a little low, it can feel that it is rapidly weakening.The Taoist priest who taught it how to enter a dream never said that the evil energy would be damaged so badly.Sure, there must be something wrong, could it be because of the lifeline that was taken away?

Meditation period?

As if he knew Xu Mu's question, Fu Zhu interjected lazily, 【It's similar to the dormancy you humans said, its evil energy dissipated too quickly, it couldn't support its spirit body, so it had to start hard training again. 】

"Is it worth it?" Xu Mu couldn't help being a little surprised. In order to tell Lin Huachun how to make Kuwaji, Zhiling actually lost so much demonic energy. The practice of more than a hundred years was so wasted, and he had to start from scratch again?

[Of course it's worth it.Since you're here, why don't you help Bengong tell him the next few crafts directly? 】Zhi Ling was silent for a while, and couldn't help but speak again.

"I?"

【This palace tells you, you tell him.You are all human beings, he may believe what you say. 】The paper spirit said lonely, its time is running out, and its only wish is to watch Mr. Lin restore the wax paper.

It tried twice in the dream, and the man was still dubious.Because the wear and tear was too great, it didn't dare to stay for too long.

"He doesn't believe it. You should have heard it just now. He wants to try the method in his dream." Xu Mu explained to Lin Huachun in a low voice. Most people don't take the method in dreams seriously!

[Nine Dao Crafts Ben Gong only told him about the fifth thing, are you sure he will succeed? 】

Xu Mu: ……………

I'm not sure.

"Okay, what do you want me to tell him, I will convey it to you now." Xu Mu nodded.No matter how it was willing to go back honestly at the beginning, it was a great help, and now it should also spread a word for it.

[To make wax paper, it is necessary to carry out dyeing, sizing, powder filling, waxing, calendering, gold sprinkling, flattening, watermarking, and depicting these nine processes on the basis of the original papermaking.When Mr. Lin tried it before, he reversed the order of calendering and waxing, and there were problems with the leveling technique. The two processes that are most likely to make mistakes are powder filling and drawing...] Hearing Xu Mu's agreement, the paper Lingbian couldn't wait to tell him all the problems.

"Wait a minute," the courier boy scratched his head. He had never heard of such a lot of tedious processes, and it would be troublesome if he said something wrong. Whatever he asks you can answer in time."

After a while, Xu Mu bravely walked up to the Lin family siblings who were still chatting, "Just now I heard you guys talk about making wax paper, and I suddenly remembered that there is a thread-bound book at home that seems to have mentioned the method of making pastel paper. , I remember the general content, are you interested in hearing it?"

Lin Huachun looked at him in astonishment, "What you said is true?"

"Yeah." Xu Mu nodded vigorously, the Lord is very willing, I am just a messenger.

"Boss, help me get one hundred sheets of each of these three types." Feng Yuan, who was standing on the shelf, raised the Shuxuan in his hand.

The elder sister of the Lin family went to help Feng Yuan pack the rice paper, and Xu Mu began to repeat Zhi Ling's words to Lin Huachun.

At first, Lin Huachun was more or less skeptical, "it's good to know more information". In the end, he was surprised to find that the method Xu Mu said was very similar to what he heard in his dream, and he even added it later. It's time to describe.

He tried to ask a few professional questions about craftsmanship, as well as the problems he encountered when he failed before, and Xu Mu also answered him clearly one by one.

When all the processes are connected in series, many problems that have troubled him for a long time are also solved.

"Thank you." Lin Huachun grabbed Xu Mu's arm vigorously, lifted the door curtain and walked out quickly. He couldn't wait to rush back to the inner courtyard and start trying immediately.

"Actually, he should thank you." Xu Mu patted his backpack lightly. The person who really helped Lin Huachun was not himself, but Zhi Ling.Unfortunately, he may never know.

Zhi Ling's voice was as soft as smoke, and he let out a long sigh, 【There is only so much I can do for him. 】

Xu Mu suddenly realized something, "You like him?"

[What is like? 】

"Probably, you will be very happy to see him."

【Then I probably don't like him, because I only want him to be happy. 】

A hundred years of hard work is just starting from scratch.

As long as he is happy.

Xu Mu: ……………

It wasn't until Lin Huachun's back disappeared behind the curtain that Zhi Ling gently said to Xu Mu, 【Thank you. 】

On the way home, Feng Yuan, who was driving, tapped the steering wheel nonchalantly and asked Xu Mu, "Is there any book in your family that talks about how to make stencil paper?"

Xu Mu: ……………

Oops, it seems that I have never mentioned it to the male god before, and I can suddenly hear ghost words.

"Brother, I'll tell you something, you must believe me." Xu Mu said solemnly, always looking for a chance to say it, choosing a day is worse than hitting the day, today is the day.

Feng Yuan raised his eyebrows, "Tell me."

"From the day I arrived in Shanghai, I began to hear many strange voices, and then I realized that those were the voices of monsters..."

"Can you hear gossip?" Feng Yuan raised his eyebrows in surprise. He always thought that the little guy was able to communicate with his husband because of the Qilin beads, but he didn't expect it to be from his Xu family on the day he just passed his birthday. The blood has awakened.

"Well, the method of making stencil paper just now was actually told by Zhi Ling." Xu Mu lowered his head guiltily, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, but I just wanted to find a suitable opportunity to speak. After all, this matter sounds That's weird. Sorry."

"It's okay, you've grown up and you have the right to keep your secrets." Feng Yuan generously reached out and rubbed his pet's head. I also have a lot of things I want to tell you slowly.

"Brother, you are so kind!" The boulder in his heart fell to the ground, and he felt relaxed. Seeing the handsome profile of his male god, Xu Mu couldn't help but pounce on him like a puppy.

Feng Yuan knocked on the steering wheel anxiously, if it wasn't for the highway, he really wanted to rush someone who was loitering on the spot.

The first thing the courier brother does when he returns to Shanghai is to go to the courier point to replenish the backlog of packages.Feng Yuan was afraid that he would deliver it too late, so he drove to help him deliver it together.

The other packages in Xu Mu's hand were delivered smoothly, except for a package the size of a tissue box. Not only was the address wrong, but the recipient's phone number was also empty. Looking at the sender's information, he did not leave a phone number at all. .Xu Mu had no choice but to call the proprietress who had already left work to ask for instructions.

The proprietress asked him to take the package back first, and send it back to the courier point for processing tomorrow.

Qian Liang tipped off a message and sent a text message, and the dormitory supervisor would come to roll call at night. Xu Mu, who had already been arrested once, did not dare to be absent again. Feng Yuan pressed him on the passenger seat and kissed him fiercely, and then temporarily sent him back to the dormitory.So, the package whose owner was unknown was temporarily brought back to the dormitory by Xu Mu and the shells he brought as a souvenir to his roommate.

The next morning, Xu Mu was woken up by a commotion.

"Damn, who the hell is wrong, cut all the buttons on my shirt!"

"Holy crap, the buttons on my jeans are gone!"
