My very cool daughter-in-law

"Entrustment?" Sheng Xun's first reaction was inexplicable. He looked down at the big bulging envelope, "Give it to me?"

The envelope is made of some kind of kraft paper, about the size of an A4 file bag, and the outer seal seems to be carefully covered with a layer of waterproof and scratch-resistant film, which is slightly reflected in Chu Shi's hand when it is exposed to the outdoor sunlight.

"Yes." Chu Shi held up the envelope with neither addressee nor signature on it, and said with certainty, "It's for you."

After emphasizing that the ownership of the envelope was correct, Chu Shi then showed a bit of embarrassment on his face.

He met his senior Sheng's increasingly inexplicable gaze, and explained the origin of this commission.

The reason why there is such an entrustment specifically for Sheng Xun is related to the rhino horn sachet that Sheng Xun ordered here in Chu Shi.

The number of rhino horn sachets that Sheng Xun ordered here in Chu Shi is not small, and the real rhino horn incense can only be purchased through the "industry channels" of mystic masters. Therefore, Chu Shi has recently collected a large amount of materials, which has aroused some people's attention. attention.

"In the beginning, some people suspected that I was taking on jobs that harmed the morality." Xiao Chu said, "For example, forcibly helping ordinary people to see ghosts, or relying on my own little tricks to show off in front of people who don't know how to do it, or beating me up." Going to solicit business on some online platforms with the gimmick of "Help you to hell and keep it real"... Anyway, no matter it is the person on the side of the material, or other acquaintances who know that I am looking for materials-including my family, I almost think I want it. 'Bad rules'."

There are precedents for several situations mentioned by Chu Shi.

Contemporary young people are not the same as before, they are very pursuing novelty and excitement, led by the group of young students with the most energy and curiosity, what is this fairy and that fairy, various calling games emerge in endlessly, word of mouth among young people, From time to time, news spread that some students had a nervous breakdown because they played some kind of summoning game.

Among the people who can really communicate with yin and yang, some people have used their brains because of this, and deeply feel that this area is a business opportunity and profitable.They may not be masters in practice, and they can't afford to worry about food and clothing by occasionally appearing to solve problems like the seniors in the industry. However, it is not difficult to help ordinary people to have a real hell with a little trick. Can't you still make a profit?

"Ordinary people have more opinions about ghosts than Ye Gong likes dragons." After roughly summarizing a few examples, Chu Shi explained, "Besides, helping ordinary people to see ghosts forcibly, except that many people can't stand the fright at all. A person with a poor physical foundation, born with neither strong fire nor positive energy, is prone to a serious illness after bumping into a ghost. It may even leave behind a curse that has been corroded by yin qi, and then the bad luck will last for several years. It is not uncommon for people to find it difficult to be healthy for the rest of their lives.”

Therefore, a rule was established in the entire industry - practitioners are not allowed to open the eyes of ordinary people without authorization.

The younger generation should not openly show their ability to understand Yin and Yang just because they are pursuing personal limelight.

Chu Shi was almost on the verge of being blamed for "seeking profit and love for money" because of his sudden collection of rhinoceros horn incense.

From a certain point of view, Sheng Xun is really an ordinary person who has never seen a ghost before.

It's also fortunate that Sheng Xun is not ordinary enough among ordinary people-not everyone can be like him, with a strong golden light protecting his body, and behind him is a big ghost who can crush ordinary evil spirits.

"I just... kind of evaded the most important thing, explaining to them that the rhino horn incense is all wanted by the same god who was born with a golden body, and emphasized that you are not afraid of any evil spirits invading. , is your own use, and you want to use it to complete an old relationship in yourself."

After Chu Shi explained the antecedents, he finally talked about the consequences.

At that time, in order to get the materials smoothly, he not only praised Sheng Xun's ability, but also made up a more grandiose reason for himself, beautifying Sheng Xun's intention to meet Xiaoqiu for the convenience of "consummation of the old relationship".

I have to say, Xiao Chu's nonsense, combined with the "past life debt" that Sheng Xun discussed with Xiao Qiu today, it sounds strangely in line.

Sheng Xun became known to people indirectly through Chu Shi. After all, Chu Shi’s family watched their children grow up. After thinking about it carefully, they also felt that Chu Shi was a social fear, so they should not engage in bad rules to solicit business. So in the end, the Chu family Turning a blind eye, let Chu Shi get the rhinoceros horn incense.

But Sheng Xun has obviously aroused the curiosity of others, and some people want to see his ability praised by Chu Shi.

Handed over to Chu Shi along with the rhinoceros horn incense, there was also the thick envelope, which contained entrusted materials that a relative of the Chu family specially specified to give to Sheng Xun.

The envelope was finally brought home by Sheng Xun.

"It's okay for you to refuse." Chu Shi was still a little apprehensive when Sheng Xunzhen took the envelope, thinking that he didn't handle it well, which caused extra problems.

Sheng Xun, as the person who was named to find him, after listening to the long list of causes and effects, he accepted the fact that he was cared about by others well, and he took the envelope in a calm and unhurried manner.

"It's your family who came to try to contact me first. It's much better than being tempted by someone completely unfamiliar." Sheng Xuechang, who is as stable as an old dog, said.

He looked down at Xiao Chu again, and suddenly changed his voice: "And I think your attitude towards this entrustment seems a bit complicated, and you also think that it's not too late for me to read the materials before making a decision."

Chu Shi's reaction proved that he did have this intention.

"They don't want to have a deadlock with someone who is really talented." Chu Shi touched his nose, "So even if it's a temptation, try to look good - this commission is completely in accordance with It came from the standard process, and there is also a quotation from the other party.”

From the very beginning, Sheng Xun failed to understand the intention of Junior Brother Xiao Chu to specifically mention the "quotation list".

He held the envelope and stared at the other party for a long time, until the elementary school boy faltered and said: "That's... senior, didn't you spend a lot of money on the rhino horn sachet?"

Sheng Xun finally understood what Chu Shi meant.

Junior Chu is really a strange person in the business world. Just using "good old man" is not enough to express his integrity index as a businessman.

He was not only embarrassed to ask customers for money, but also worried that customers were spending too much, so he took the initiative to help customers find ways to make money!

"...that's fine too." Sheng Xun held the envelope, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

He said that in fact, I am not that short of money, and the rhino horn sachet would not cause a large balance deficit.

But in a flash, Sheng Xun suddenly remembered that he was suspected to be in debt.

He silently swallowed back the original words, and returned to Xiangzhang Court with the rhino horn sachet, the snacks packed for Xiao Qiu, and the entrustment materials that might become part of Xiao Qiu's debt collection.

"You went a little longer than expected." Xiaoqiu seemed to have heard the sound of Sheng Xun's return. Sheng Xun had just stood on the small aisle in front of his house when the door of his house clicked and was already opened from the inside. And the ghost who pointed out that his return was not as expected was standing behind the door, and made a very humane gesture-pointing to the wall clock on the rear wall.

"It's already 04:30." Xiao Qiu said emphatically.

Sheng Xun left after lunch. He told Xiaoqiu that he would be back around three o'clock.

There is actually no special agreement for one person and one ghost, and there is no agreement on what to do together after three o'clock.

Xiaoqiu seemed to have been waiting, even though there was no agreed reason.

"Have you been waiting for me for a long time?" Sheng Xun asked subconsciously.

The ghost who had to wait for no reason nodded his head.

Xiaoqiu: "You said the time yourself."

Sheng Xun felt a little guilty, and felt that this kind of stupid behavior of waiting after listening for a while was a bit cute.

"I accidentally chatted there for a while, and when I left, I realized that it was past four o'clock." Sheng Xun piled up the things in his hands on the entrance cabinet. After thinking about it, he put the snacks away before changing his shoes. He took out the bag slip, carefully pinched the edge of the bag, and touched the handle to Xiaoqiu's wrist, "I'm sorry I came back late, I use this to apologize to you."

Ghosts who wait foolishly for others are really easy to coax.

When he first realized that Sheng Xun didn't come back at three o'clock, his mood really became very bad, and he even felt an indescribable anxiety at one point.

It was as if he was very familiar with the feeling of keeping a deadline and no one came back, as if the boredom of it had already been etched into his soul.

But at the same time, Xiaoqiu at that meeting felt that her state of mind was very strange.

He hated this kind of waiting that missed the deadline, and he seemed to be very used to waiting.

So even though the two dolls were forced into Sheng Xun's bedroom with a cold, ghostly aura subconsciously filled with anxiety, he knew clearly that he could still endure under such anxiety.

From three o'clock to 04:30, during this period Xiaoqiu was particularly spooky.

But at the first second when he noticed the appearance of Sheng Xun's aura, the ghost aura lingering around dissipated first, and then, Xiao Qiu's mood index also began to pick up obviously, and the moment he opened the door for Sheng Xun, he couldn't see it at all. Out of the previous terrifying posture.

When Sheng Xun put the snack bag in his hand and apologized for returning late, the resentment caused by waiting seemed to have been forgotten in the sky.

Xiaoqiu's whole ghost is peaceful and happy.

It's just that it doesn't look like it on the surface.

"You got the rhino horn incense." Xiao Qiu sorted out the remaining items on the porch cabinet.

While human beings were changing their shoes at home and habitually doing housework, he first pushed aside the rhino horn sachet that needed to be collected by himself, and then reached out to get the thick envelope bag next to him that could not be seen.

Xiao Qiu intends to take this envelope bag to the study.

In his common sense, things like this should be placed on the bookshelf.

But the moment his fingertips touched the envelope, a strange feeling suddenly swept over him, causing Xiao Qiu to withdraw his hand abruptly, and the envelope bag was taken off the cabinet by his movement.

Sheng Xun had just changed his shoes and was about to get up, when there was a breeze in his ears.

The thick envelope bag fell to Sheng Xun's feet with a "snap".

"What's wrong?" He raised his head quickly, and saw at a glance that Xiao Qiu's expression was wrong.

The ghost stared blankly at his fingers.

Sheng Xun subconsciously wanted to reach out, and took Xiao Qiu's hand to him for a closer look.

He stretched out his hand and realized that he still couldn't touch the other person, so that hand could only turn a corner halfway, and propped it on the entrance cabinet counter.

"Red?" Sheng Xun frowned at what he saw.

The distance between him and Xiao Qiu has been shortened, and there is a thin golden light in the middle.

Fortunately, that layer of golden light was not enough to affect his vision, allowing him to see clearly that Xiao Qiu's fingertips, which were usually so pale that they were almost transparent, had a small patch of red.

The redness was very dazzling on the pale skin, like a small burn.

"In this envelope." Xiao Qiu asked slowly, "What's there?"

"Xiao Chu gave me the entrustment materials." Sheng Xun frowned more tightly, "The client said it was a relative in their family."

It doesn't take Xiao Qiu to explain to Sheng Xun that Xiao Qiu's fingers will become like this, and it is caused by the envelope bag that was falling on the ground.

Sheng Xun bent down to pick up the envelope, keeping it as far away from Xiao Qiu as possible.

Holding the corner of the bag, he asked, "Is there something wrong with the contents?"

Xiaoqiu stretched out her hand towards the envelope bag again after a distance, but this time she didn't touch it directly.

After a while, he shook his head.

"No." Xiaoqiu said, "There is nothing wrong with the things in the bag, it's just ordinary paper."

He said looking at his hands again.

His own power has already enveloped the reddened area, and the redness is fading under his self-healing at the speed that the human naked eye can reach.

It won't be long before his hands will return to normal.

"It's not in the bag." Sheng Xun repeated Xiao Qiu's answer, and he gently shook the envelope bag under his hand, "Is that the surface of the bag, or the envelope bag itself?"

Xiao Qiu seemed to think for a while, and said, "It should be the surface."

Because if there is a problem with the entire envelope bag itself, then the affected area will not only be a small area of ​​the fingertips, and it will not disappear so quickly.

Xiaoqiu told Sheng Xun that something might have been stuck on the envelope bag, and he himself was surprised that something could hurt him.

But because there were only a few items left on the envelope bag, it seemed that what was burned on his fingertips just now was all, and he couldn't distinguish it.

Sheng Xun remembered that Junior Chu had indeed brought out another item when he took the envelope bag out of his schoolbag.

"It may have been stained in Xiao Chu's bag." Sheng Xun recalled, "Xiao Chu's bag is a bit messy, and he often piles things together. I remember he said at the time that the bag next to the envelope seemed to be his Something to bring home."

It is known that the entire Chu family can be called a family of metaphysics. Recently, the Chu family has been in some kind of trouble helping people clean up the mess, and frequently needs juniors to pass things on for the family.

No matter what was in Chu Shi's bag, it seemed to make sense.

"I'll go back and ask Xiao Chu what that is." Sheng Xun said.

During the few words they spoke, the redness on Xiao Qiu's fingertips had almost completely receded, and she could no longer see that she had been scalded by the residual energy before.

Xiao Qiu slightly curled his fingers, he just wanted to tell Sheng Xun to rest assured that he was fine.

After listening to the other party briefly mentioning the complicated family background of Chu Shi's family, inexplicably, his words changed to: "What's the other family's name?"

Sheng Xun confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the envelope bag and the contents of the bag, and that it would really not cause any harm to Xiao Qiu. He was standing a few steps away from Xiao Qiu to open the bag.

Coincidentally, when Xiaoqiu softly asked the other family's surname, the paper bag rattled in his hand, and he just opened the bag.

The voices from both ends overlapped, and Sheng Xun could only hear "what".

"What?" He looked up.

Xiaoqiu looked a little strange in Sheng Xun's eyes.

The ghost, who has never cared much about others, couldn't figure out why he would ask such a question, so he just shook his head in the end, saying it was nothing.

Xiaoqiu skipped the question that he hadn't heard clearly, and finally said the sentence to tell Sheng Xun not to worry.

Then he stepped forward and looked at the paper in Sheng Xun's hand with a little curiosity.

"Why did they send you an entrustment?" Xiao Qiu just remembered to ask.

Sheng Xun explained the origin of the entrustment to Xiao Qiu again, divided the materials in half, and sincerely invited ghosts who are more experienced in this field to come and have a look together, and study what kind of entrustment Xiao Chu's relatives gave him. .

In that stack of papers were the entrusting party's self-introduction, a statement of the situation, and a quotation that Xiao Chu specially raised, as well as a dozen real-life photos that were probably taken for the details of the entrustment.

The entire material is clearly divided into multiple parts, as rigorous as a business bidding report.

Sheng Xun has always been used to reading the description first, and he is a person who reads everything from the introduction.

However, he only read two or three paragraphs before he found a pale hand stretched out from the side.

Xiaoqiu looked at the photo part first. He pinched the edge of a photo and handed it to Sheng Xun, clearly expressing the meaning of asking humans to look at this first.

"What's wrong with this photo?" Sheng Xun paused his reading, and asked while observing the photo.

It was a photo taken in a certain room. There were no portraits. It could be seen that the house in the background was decorated in an elegant Chinese style. The lens focused on a mahogany Eight Immortals table.

On the Eight Immortals table is an enamelled round shallow tray, on which are filled some things like peanuts, dried walnuts, like a snack plate.

Apart from that, there is nothing else to be seen in this photo.

Looking at it with Sheng Xun's eyes, there is nothing abnormal or weird in any of its pictures.

But Xiaoqiu said: "There are my things in it."

Sheng Xun was taken aback.

The ghost's fingertips, which had just recovered, tapped lightly on the photo.

He pointed to the "snack plate", and said to Sheng Xun in a slightly displeased tone: "This walnut is mine, it's something you gave me."
