The Heart of a Smith

The result of Lushang’s planning is not a horror house, but an amusement park with horror elements as the theme. The offshore area is a leisure area, with hotels providing food and lodging, and the entertainment area is mainly entertainment facilities. The buildings are made of old buildings. There is even a piece of land where materials are directly collected from the original site, retaining the broken walls and ruins that were washed away by the sea more than ten years ago, which not only saves costs but also looks realistic.

Hard facilities alone are not enough, he also drew up another plan, to find a popular writer in the online literary world, write a supernatural story around the Fengshui rumors of the Golden Sands Coast, and at the same time set up an operation team to hype up this IP, Develop soft culture to pave the way for publicity after completion.

With the existence of this novel as a premise, the credibility of those rumors has been greatly reduced. Those who had the intention to spread these rumors before have all become propaganda helpers in an instant. Lu Shang's trick of turning against customers is really powerful.

"But why do you emphasize being an online literature writer?"

"Most of the people who like horror elements are young people, and they have a high degree of overlap with the audience of online articles."

Li Sui nodded with a half understanding.

Lu Shang sent the preliminary plan to Liu Xingming and asked him to do a feasibility report. Looking back, it was already midnight.A scent wafted from the kitchen, and Lu Shang felt a little hungry.

"What are you doing?"

"Pigeon soup." Li Sui turned off the fire, lifted the lid of the earthen jar, and a burst of rich aroma immediately filled the whole kitchen. He wiped away the layer of oil slick, scooped a ladle of clear soup from the middle into the bowl, and handed it over to the bowl. Lu Shang, "Try it."

The soup is a clear caramel color, and the floating meat foam cannot be seen. Obviously, the meat has been pre-treated before being put into the pot. There is very little fat visible to the naked eye, and it is steaming hot.Take a sip, the lips and teeth are full of fresh fragrance, the salt is very light, the seasoning is not overwhelming, it is all the original taste of the ingredients, the fragrance of mushrooms and the sweetness of red dates, mixed with the softness of pigeon meat, it is simply said It's so wonderful, besides the sweetness that can be tasted, the soup also has a special taste that can't be described, slightly bitter, it seems to be a traditional Chinese medicine.

Lu Shang tasted that the soup was different from what he usually drank: "Did you put medicinal ingredients?"

"Well, I asked the nurse, and they are all medicinal materials that you can eat." Li Sui was afraid that he would be worried, so he said, "I didn't put too much."

Lu Shang lowered his head and drank the soup.

Li Sui asked anxiously, "Is it delicious?"

"Well, it's delicious." Lu Shang handed him the bowl, signaling for another bowl.

Li Sui seemed to have been greatly satisfied, and he immediately smiled. His eyes were big, and a pair of lying silkworms were very obvious when he smiled. The ceiling lamp in the kitchen was reflected in his eyes, which really fit his name.

Lu Shang looked away, as if remembering something, he stretched out his hand and squeezed his arm: "Has the previous injury healed?"

"It's good, there is only a little scar left, and it won't be visible in the summer." After finishing speaking, he did a fitness exercise with bent arms, which bulged out beautiful muscle lines.

He has indeed grown up, Lu Shang thought, he remembered that when he first picked up Li Sui, he was as thin as an African refugee, but in the blink of an eye, he had grown into a man.This child seems to have been holding back his energy for the past ten years. Whenever he encounters a favorable environment, he is like an invasive species, desperately absorbing nutrients, and growing back all the debt he owed before.

He suddenly understood Liang Zirui's sense of crisis.

After the planning proposal was sent out, Liu Xingming called excitedly the next morning, first with compliments, and then a tactful reminder for the money, Lu Shang told him not to worry about the money, just proceed to do it.

After the proposal was presented at the meeting, representatives of the project team quarreled for a few days, and finally gave a reply, agreeing to pass it.Originally, this plan was the most reasonable, and no one was willing to take the lead in this matter. It was their wish for Lu Shang to take over.It's just that each person in charge represents their own shareholders, so it's natural to have some moths to gain a sense of Bo's presence, and put forward a bunch of opinions in a superfluous manner. These are all tasteless in the eyes of Lu Shang, and he doesn't even bother to reason, so he directly throws them to Liu Xingming To deal with it, I took advantage of the good weather to take Li Sui out to play and visited all the famous nearby attractions.

Li Sui found that Lu Shang is a person who enjoys life very much, and takes his work very seriously. Besides, there seems to be nothing else that can make him particularly concerned, and everything always looks like it has nothing to do with him.Later, when he was on the beach, he happened to see Lu Shang changing his clothes and saw the scars on his body, and he suddenly understood the reason for this.

He had never seen his body under the scorching sun, and it was only under the reflection of the light that he could see clearly that there were a few extremely small scars, which were the marks left by the operation.The scars are deep and shallow, which seems to prove how rough the owner of this body is. Li Sui can't imagine how many times Lu Shang has been tortured by illnesses when he grows up to such a big age.

He once asked Liang Zirui about the severity of Lu Shang's condition. At that time, he didn't understand, and Dr. Liang was not very good at disclosing the patient's privacy, so he only told him: "Let me put it this way, if he was not born in Lu Shang A family, but an ordinary family, would have died a long time ago.”

If a person walks on the edge of life and death all year round, even his life is threatened all the time, let alone Lu Shang, for anyone, it is difficult to care about right and wrong in the world.

"What are you thinking?" Lu Shang threw a beach volleyball from a distance.

Li Sui pulled away from his thoughts, caught the ball steadily, put it at his feet, and said, "I'm thinking, when will we go back."

"homesick?"

"Well, I haven't seen Uncle Yuan and Aunt Lu for a long time."

Lu Shang sat down beside him and took a bottle of soda: "Then go back tomorrow."

"Are you done with your work?"

"It's not a short-term thing. It will take at least two or three years until the project is completed."

"Then go back, I want to learn more from Aunt Lu."

Lu Shang smiled: "I'm afraid she won't let you learn."

The setting sun rendered a blood-red setting sun on the horizon, reflected on the sea surface, shimmering, like a layer of gold floating on the water surface.

"You also contributed to this proposal, what reward do you want when you go back?" Lu Shang asked him.

Li Sui turned his head and saw Lu Shang's black hair glowing golden under the setting sun, with a very light mist covering the edge of the outline, like a gold-plated god and Buddha, who could save him from fire and water. At that moment, he seemed to suddenly Gaining courage from this light, his Adam's apple rolled, and he asked earnestly, "You can do whatever you want?"

"It's within my ability," Lu Shang said with a smile, "If you let me go to the sea to fish for a magic lamp that can make wishes, then I have nothing to do."

"I really want a magical lamp that can make wishes," Li Sui looked into the distance, "this will help you heal your illness."

Hearing this, Lu Shang turned his head, and the eyes of the two met inadvertently. In a certain second, a microsecond resonance was reached. Lu Shang suddenly had a strong intuition that Li Sui had something to say to him.

"Hey, be careful—" someone in the distance shouted suddenly.

A black shadow flashed past, and the volleyball flew past the faces of the two of them.

"Sorry..." The man ran over to pick up the ball speaking broken Mandarin.

Brought back and forth by a gust of wind, Li Sui dug his index finger into the sand, then gradually let go and took it out.Courage is something that expires too quickly. He missed the moment when he wanted to say it the most, and he couldn't speak anymore.

"Let's talk about it later, I owe you first."

Lu Shang unscrewed the soda, and the mouth of the bottle made a "squeaky" sound, and said softly with a smile: "You have learned well."

Li Sui raised his eyebrows: "You taught me."

Uncle Yuan booked them a flight the next morning. The project team knew he was going to leave, so they all tried to persuade him to stay, but Lu Shang couldn't shirk it. Moreover, they needed to follow up on some follow-up matters. At this time, they still had to coax people, so they had to agree. I made a request to hold a farewell banquet for him, so I was delayed for an extra day.

After playing for a whole day, both of them were tired, so they just collected their personal luggage when they went back, and handed over the rest to the hotel waiter for sorting.Lu Shang only confessed to put the conch in the glass cabinet away, and went to sleep in the bedroom.As a result, the waiter was a novice, so he took out the charger of the mobile phone that was still charging and put it in the bag. This caused Lu Shang to wake up the next morning, and the mobile phone was out of power and turned off automatically.

Liu Xingming was impatient, so he couldn't make a call early in the morning, so he went directly to Li Sui.

This is also the benefit of the elderly phone. After charging the battery once for a week, Li Sui handed the phone to Lu Shang, and got up to prepare breakfast by himself.When he gets home, I'm afraid the kitchen won't be his territory anymore, and if he wants to cook a meal for Lu Shang, Aunt Lu will probably think that he wants to steal his job.

"Uninhabited island?" Lu Shang got up and went to the balcony, "Is the news reliable?"

"Really, my buddy from the procuratorate told me that it is indeed a bankruptcy auction. I saw the price, it is very good deal, and the procedures are complete. The important thing is that it is very close to the Golden Sands Coast. If you can get it, it will be a very good resource. .”

"How is the development?"

The other end of the phone paused, and said: "It is said to be half-developed, but I called you as soon as I received the news, and I haven't had time to verify it."

Lu Shang thought for a while and said, "Go and make arrangements. Let's go to sea together in the afternoon and bring the people from the survey and evaluation company with us."

"Okay," Liu Xingming asked again before hanging up the phone, "By the way, last time on the cruise ship, I have already contacted the person you told me to look for, and I have handed over some related things to Assistant Yuan. But Boss Lu, forgive me for asking, this man is in charge of the prison system, what do you want him for?"

Lu Shang paused: "This is my private matter."

Liu Xingming tactfully didn't ask any more questions, hung up the phone and went to rent a boat.

There was a gust of wind blowing on the balcony. Lu Shang looked up at the cloudy and cloudy sky. He walked into the house and picked up his phone to check the weather forecast. Holding Li Sui's tablet, he walked over naturally and raised his hand to open it.When he first bought the tablet, he was afraid that Li Sui would not be able to use it, so he added his own to the fingerprint authentication, so there was no obstacle to unlocking it, and the screen jumped to the page that was not closed last time, and his fingers froze——

"Surgical Treatment of Congenital Heart Disease", "Diet and Nursing Care of Heart Disease Patients", "Practical Techniques of Modern Interventional Cardiology"... Scroll down, and there are several legal and practical cases.

Obviously, Li Sui was secretly looking for a cure for his heart. These books have been read to varying degrees, and notes have been made in many places, which shows his care. He also found a few therapeutic recipes in the notes, no accidents , is exactly what Li Sui did for him these days.

Lu Shang put the tablet back calmly, and stood there for a while without saying a word.

The room was very quiet, and the sound of collisions from the kitchen could be faintly heard.Lu Shang lowered his eyes, feeling mixed feelings in his heart. If this child finds out in the future, the cure he has been looking for is...

"I'm going to make glutinous rice balls, do you eat salty or sweet?" Li Sui suddenly showed a smiling face from the kitchen.

Lu Shang cleaned up his expression, raised his head and smiled at him: "Salty."

"Then I will cook with yesterday's soup."

The bay window was lifted by the wind outside the house, drawing an arc in the air. Lu Shang remembered that Li Sui seemed to have mentioned that once, he wanted him to teach him about the company and nursing. Concerned, Li Sui mentioned it once but didn't get an answer, so he wisely didn't mention it again.

It's not that Lu Shang is unwilling, it's just that he thinks he doesn't have the spare energy to take care of others, and at the same time, he also feels that this matter is too futile. Even Liang Zirui is helpless to deal with his illness, what can Li Sui, a child, do.

Thinking about Sima Jingrong again, he felt that this idea was too subjective. He should not deprive Li Sui of the right to choose. No matter what their future endings are, at least for children of this age, Li Sui should have the same respect. the right to education.

After lunch, the two of them took a nap again, and when Lu Shang changed his clothes and went out, Li Sui confirmed for the second time: "Do you really not need me to go?"

"No need," Lu Shang put on his coat. "Leave early tomorrow morning, and you'll be home at noon. Call Aunt Lu and ask her to prepare lunch. Tell her what you want to eat."

"Oh..." Li Sui leaned against the door, unwilling to leave for a long time.

During this period of time, he carried this tail everywhere, and Lu Shang felt a little uncomfortable. He stomped his shoes on the carpet and said, "Let's go."

Xiao Zhao's car had already parked at the door, Li Sui stared at him as he disappeared from sight, and then gradually withdrew his gaze and went upstairs.

"Didn't Xiao Li come with you?" Xiao Zhao asked as soon as he got in the car.

Lu Shang: "Let's go."

Feeling eyes glued to him, Lu Shang never looked back. He really didn't want to get too close to Li Sui now. Ever since he saw those things on the tablet, he seemed to have an inexplicable sense of guilt in his heart. He needed a little space. to be rational.

According to Lu Shang's instructions, Li Sui found a few dishes in his small treasure house and reported them to Aunt Lu by phone.

"It's all food for the heart," Aunt Lu laughed when she heard it, "Is Boss Lu feeling better?"

"It's much better. The climate here seems to be quite suitable for him."

"That's fine, that's fine..."

The two chatted for a few more words, Li Sui hung up the phone, and finally had the sense of steadiness that he was about to go home.After packing my luggage, I walked around the room, seeing nothing to do left and right, so I just flipped out the book and continued reading.

These professional books are still very difficult for him. Every time he encounters a new word, he has to look it up online to understand what it means, and the progress is slow.However, things like reading have never been rushed. If you want to be fast, you can only concentrate and improve efficiency.

After reading most of a book, Li Sui raised his head from the screen dry-mouthed, and found that there was a strong wind outside the house.He hurriedly walked to the balcony, and saw that the sky was dark and dark, with dark clouds rolling, which was a harbinger of a storm coming.

Anxiety was faintly surging in Li Sui's heart, and he was pacing left and right when a text message came up on his mobile phone, which was a storm warning issued by the Meteorological Bureau, reminding nearby ships to return to port as soon as possible.

It was obviously sunset time, and the sky was so dark that it was almost impossible to see the people on the street. The terrifying wind blew the street trees down, as if a pair of magic hands were trying to pull them out by the roots. Thinking that Lu Shang was still at sea, Li Sui Feeling anxious for a while, he immediately called Lu Shang.

The other end of the phone reminded to turn off, Li Sui was confused, and made two more calls in a hurry, but it still reminded to turn off.A huge shadow enveloped him like a curtain in an instant, and Li Sui suddenly remembered the prophecy that the receptionist said that when he went to the construction base that day, one person would die every four years in this sea, and his heart became even more anxious.

He dialed Xiao Zhao's number, and Xiao Zhao was also at a loss, and said: "I didn't go with them. There was an old man in the entourage who was not feeling well. Boss Lu asked me to send him back first. When did they I don’t know where it went out to sea.”
