Lantern: Reflection of the Peach Blossoms

When Zhang Shun woke up the next morning, his brother was shirtless, with his back turned to him, facing the bathroom mirror.

At first Zhang Shun thought his brother was shaving, but he was shocked in an instant: his brother actually grows a beard!So grounded!

Immediately afterwards, he realized that he was wearing contact lenses, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that his brother was still very familiar with him, and he didn't suddenly start eating fireworks just because the two brothers slept together in the same bed for a night.

"Brother!" Zhang Shun yawned and asked, "Which chick did you get lucky with last night, is the blowjob really hot?"

Chu He picked up his shirt and put it on, and while buttoning it up, he said expressionlessly: "Sooner or later, you will die with this open mouth."

Zhang Shun has an advantage, that is, he doesn't get angry easily, and when he encounters problems, he laughs and passes them by.Everyone around him knows this. Although the second young master of the Zhang family is a dandy who can't be supported, he has a good temper and never does bad things like bullying men and women. Sentence, 5 minutes later will forget.

There is nothing to talk about with his elder brother who has been in power for a long time. Zhang Shun scratched his head, got up lazily and asked: "I'm going to find the master to come to the town house today, brother, why are you going? Come together? "

Chu He changed his face and said: "It's okay, don't do those supernatural things at home!"

"Oh, Master Fang on Xinglong Street is well-known throughout Northeast China. Our house was haunted last night..."

"Business people, Feng Shui can also be messed with?" Chu He scolded mercilessly: "You can pick up girls and fight casually if you have nothing to do. Don't bring those monks and Taoists home!"

Zhang Shun curled his lips: "Isn't it okay to know?"

Only then did his brother's expression soften, and he went to the closet to pick out a thin black tie, and said while tying it: "A Japanese consortium came to the city to invest in the name of a religious visit. In a five-star hotel, Mayor Huang asked our company to accompany the reception by name, so I might not come back for dinner."

The last sentence touched his heart, Zhang Shun felt a little bit emotional and thought that the brothers hadn't had dinner together for a long time.He was just about to say that I won't go out to play tomorrow night, let's have dinner at home, when his brother picked up his coat and walked out the door, walking steadily and gracefully, without even saying goodbye.

"..." Zhang Shun said, "I really shouldn't be a bitch."

Zhang Ershao yawned and went downstairs to eat, chatted with the old butler with a playful smile, and flirted with the new maid, threw away the bowls and chopsticks, and drove out of the house in the newly bought Ferrari.

Although he promised his brother that he would not engage in feudal superstition at home, Zhang Ershao only talked about it, and actually made up his mind to invite an "expert" to come to the house to take a good look at Feng Shui.During this period of time, he felt that his family was not very peaceful. Several of the rich goldfish raised in the pool in the front yard died. There were rumors among the servants that he saw white shadows in the corridor several times, let alone the gloomy warehouse in the backyard. Even the old housekeeper secretly told him that he heard ghosts crying inside at night, and he was so frightened that even the big German shepherd dog who was guarding the house stopped barking.

Two kinds of people are the most superstitious these days, one is rich businessmen, and the other is intellectuals.Although Zhang Ershao is a dude, he was not lazy in his studies back then. He was sent to a key university in the country by countless super teachers and private teaching assistants like stars and moons. The master's degree bought with money is a hard-brand master's degree from a foreign bully school that has been admitted based on strength and has spent many nights writing papers to successfully graduate.If his father hadn't been seriously ill back then and had to give up his studies and return to China, Zhang Ershao would have come back with a doctorate from Niu Xiao at least now.

Therefore, Zhang Ershao has both, so he especially believes in these supernatural things.

On the way, Zhang Shun made a phone call with one of his hard-core cronies, the city’s parent official, Mayor Huang, and his nephew, Huang Pian, and asked carelessly, “Hey porn, which little bed are you sleeping on? Come out quickly.” , I have business to find you!"

Huang Pian said angrily: "You're just lying on the little fan's bed! I spent half the night drinking with those bastards from the Environmental Bureau last night! What are you doing? Hang up when you have something to say!"

"Hey hey-don't hang up, don't hang up, let me ask you, last time you said you were free to introduce me to the master surnamed Fang, will you still have time to find him today?"

"what?"

"Business," Zhang Shun said seriously, "my house is haunted, please master to catch it."

Huang Pian was about to hang up the phone and go back to sleep, when she heard it, she suddenly became excited: "What are you catching monsters? What kind of monsters are you catching?"

Zhang Shun then held the steering wheel with one hand and took the phone with the other, briefly recounting the shocking scene last night.Huang Pian clicked her tongue, and after confirming with Zhang Shun again and again that it wasn't him having nightmares in the middle of the night or just joking around to scare people, she said that this kind of excitement must be joined, so she went to fetch Master Fang to meet Zhang Shun.

"But doesn't your brother hate monks and priests the most?" Huang Pian asked, "Are you sure your brother has a social event tonight? If he suddenly comes back and embarrasses Master Fang, I can't afford to lose face."

Zhang Shun said: "Don't worry, porn, my brother will go with your uncle tonight to deal with the Japanese investor - he won't come back until midnight, let's make a quick decision, or I won't dare to go home tonight Go to sleep."

Huang Pian frowned: "Don't call me nicknames!"

Chuhe's eyelids twitched all afternoon, but he couldn't figure out what happened.

Little did he know that his younger brother, who had done more than succeed, had completely forgotten his morning warning.

He was ushered by the clerk to the sofa of the mayor's secretariat. The secretary personally served a plate of good cigarettes and a special pot of Tieguanyin. He smiled and asked, "Mayor Huang knew you were coming, but unfortunately there is a The conference call is not over yet—you sit down for a while, how long will it take for me to show you?"

Chu He nodded and said nothing. After a while, the secretary came back in a hurry, with a bit of confusion on his face: "Mayor Huang said, please go in quickly."

Chu He almost guessed what happened, but didn't say much, walked into the office with a nod, and pushed open the heavy wooden door.

The mayor's office is a standard government-style double suite, with a small living room on the outside and a study inside.Chu He closed the door behind his back, cutting off the secretary's curious eyes. He walked around behind the large desk, and saw a fat weasel with shiny fur, his two paws covering his neck, writhing on the ground in pain.

"The chicken—the chicken bone is stuck in the neck," Mayor Huang desperately rolled his eyes: "Quick, help me get it out—"

Chuhe: "..."

Chuhe picked up the weasel neatly and turned his back, straddled it with one leg, grabbed the furry back of the neck, and pounded it hard with his elbow. With a crisp sound, the chicken bone spurted out of the weasel's mouth.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!" The weasel coughed again and again and regained its human form, spread its fat belly on the ground, and asked pitifully with tears in its eyes, "You, you have to be so rough to me every time. ?"

"..." Chuhe said, "Stay away from me, fat man."

Mayor Huang immediately got up from the ground at a speed that was unimaginable for a fat man, tucked his tail into his trousers and said sternly: "Don't call me nicknames! - besides, the mayor is not fat, The mayor is plump!"

·

There are many benefits for a weasel to be a magistrate. According to Mayor Huang's words, he might be so greedy if he were an adult. Let him come and have two chickens a day.

Of course, there are also disadvantages. For example, the secretary often smells a strange aroma of fried chicken in the mayor's office, and there are sometimes blood-stained chicken feathers of unknown origin on the ground.

Of course, compared with this disadvantage, the benefits of Mayor Huang are beyond words for the people of this city.For example, when there was a bird flu outbreak in the north, Mayor Huang raised the case and became furious. He ordered the Health Commission to conduct a thorough investigation, which quickly ensured the safety and hygiene standards of the city's poultry meat industry; The mayor acted resolutely, checked to the end, and in order to prevent hidden dangers from being covered up by the relevant departments, he even took the risk by squatting on the curb every day to try fried chicken from street stalls.

Probably because of the good official reputation, the Central Monster Management Committee turned a blind eye to Mayor Huang—although he was not promoted, at least he was not promoted or demoted for several years.

Mayor Huang is still very complacent, and feels that he, as a monster, can catch the eyes of human beings, which is really a glorious thing.

For this, Chuhe hit him like this:

"Don't dream. People from Maoshan in the Celestial Dynasty can line up in a line. There is also a special office in Guoan, and nine out of ten people are zombies. Who has time to talk to you, a small mayor?"

Mayor Huang: "...I'm a parent officer anyway, please save some face!"

Mayor Huang, the parent official, carried his huge body into the red flag car angrily. Because the area occupied was too large, Chuhe almost couldn't even fasten the seat belt, so he managed to get the buckle from Mayor Huang's big buttocks. Take it out from below: "...Old Huang, you really want to lose weight."

"I lost five catties of meat this week, do you know that?" Mayor Huang said with a bitter face, "Ever since I heard the news that the Japanese Aida consortium was coming to invest in our small city in the seventh and eighth tiers, the province has always sent people down to intercept it." Hu, I can't eat well, I can't sleep well, and my old problem of deficiency of Qi and blood and mental weakness has come back!"

Chu He held his breath and fumbled to buckle up his seat belt before he heaved a sigh of relief.

"You said that the Central Demon Committee has no problem with me. Why do the provinces always look down on me? Do they know that I am a weasel? Of course not! ——Could it be because I robbed old Wu that bastard of the city back then? A long seat? But that was his own fault! Although the collapse of the overpass in the city center was also caused by earth dragons, the main reason is that Lao Wu and his bastards took too much kickback from the developer. If it wasn’t for me You were immediately invited out of the Jinmao Tower to fight the town, the concrete foundation collapsed, and hundreds of people on the road at that time were killed..."

Mayor Huang skillfully took out a greased paper bag from the side of the car seat, took out a chicken bone from it, and gnawed on it.

"You said how difficult it is for our city to develop from a small county to the present. It was hard to attract foreign investment. My majestic mayor was so excited that I didn't fall asleep for three days. I cried when I said it! The province doesn't say that it strongly supports and praises it. He even sent people down to cut off the beard, his conscience was eaten by dogs! Isn’t it because the old Wu who was brought down by me is a direct descendant of the province!——He also wanted to secretly contact foreign businessmen without telling me, luckily I found out early , annoyed me to fart and kill them!"

The corner of Chu He's mouth twitched almost invisibly.

"Who is the person sent by the province?"

"It's said to be the reception office for foreign guests." Mayor Huang said: "A female director named Li, with a pretty face named Zhou, and several clerks. Hehe, I want to meet foreign businessmen together today. Get them drunk, pack them up and leave them in the hotel..."

This Japanese foreign businessman arrived yesterday, and he had already invited a welcome banquet last night.Mayor Huang's original intention was to arrange another tour today to showcase the city's vigorous development momentum, and then have a sauna in the evening to further cultivate feelings; In the past two days, the location of the construction site has been decided.

Mayor Huang didn't have much to say about this - the deal would be finalized with a one-shot deal earlier, so that this fat piece of fat that fell from the sky would not be missed by others.

"Foreign capital investment of 35 billion, maybe after the hotel is built, a large leisure and entertainment center will be built nearby." Fatty Huang finished eating the chicken bones, wiped off the grease, and patted Chuhe on the shoulder in a serious manner: "Don't say brother Take care of you, Mr. Chu, if this project can be won, I, Huang Daxian, will regard you as my own grandfather!"

"..." Chuhe said, "You must not."

While speaking, the Hongqi car had already stopped at the gate of the suburban development center.This place is already some distance away from the main road, surrounded by a piece of open land, except for the exhibition center that was temporarily built when the architectural planning was made, there are only a few hospitals and middle schools far away.Not far away, there is a real estate development area contracted by a builder. The scaffolding has just been erected, and it is still full of potholes.

The Japanese investor had already arrived, surrounded by a group of people, standing by the barbed wire fence around the open space, they didn't know what they were looking at, and no one even noticed that the Hongqi car had stopped.

Mayor Huang got out of the car with his chest out of the way, and waved his hands in a vigorous manner: "Hey——"

Everyone turned around.

Immediately afterwards, the director of the exhibition center, relying on his thin and flexible body, pushed everyone away and rushed over first: "Mayor Huang! Mayor Huang! It's not good, something happened to us!"

As soon as he grabbed Fatty Huang, his whole body was trembling: "Yes——someone jumped off the building!"

Mayor Huang: "Huh?!"

Chu He immediately got out of the car, only to see that the director was also frightened, shaking into a ball in the hot weather, bean big sweat dripping down his eyebrows before he could wipe it off: "The one on the side - that construction site, just now someone came from above Jump down, I saw him fall into such a big piece with my own eyes! We called the police just now, mayor, you are here, what can we do..."

Mayor Huang: "What did you say?!"

"The person who jumped down is my interpreter." A man in a fine gray suit walked up from the crowd, reached out to shake hands with Mayor Huang, and politely said in blunt Chinese: "Just now my interpreter said to go to the bathroom. Just jumped off from the top, just in time for everyone to see it with their own eyes.”

The scene was chaotic. Mayor Huang shook hands with the man while wiping his sweat and smiling. He turned his head and explained to Chu He in a low voice: "This is Mr. Aida Yoshitoshi, the current head of the Aida Consortium..." He also forcibly greeted him calmly. Everyone: "Calm down! Everyone calm down! The police will come soon, and no one is allowed to touch the scene!"

Chu He looked past the crowd and looked towards the construction site, then turned back after a while, and landed on a young man in a white robe on the Japanese side.

The young man was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a handsome face and a wide robe and wide sleeves. He followed Aida Yoshihiro with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes, like an invisible person without making a sound.

However, for Chuhe, his sense of existence is very distinct - he is wearing hunting clothes.

That boy is an onmyoji.

Probably noticed Chuhe's gaze, Aida Yoshihiro nodded politely, pointed to the young man and introduced: "This is my nephew, because I still know a little about catching and subduing demons, so I brought him to the exploration project Fengshui , to assist in project site selection.”

As he said that, he patted Mayor Huang's fat shoulder meaningfully, and said with a smile: "—my nephew has a good temper, and will not act recklessly based on his ability, so there is really no need for the mayor to be afraid, hahahaha! "

The others in the chaos didn't understand, but Mayor Huang's face changed almost instantly.

"Mr....Mr. Aida was joking." Beads of sweat rolled down Weasel's chubby face, and he could hardly maintain his smile: "Haha——my nephew can see that the young man is handsome and has a bright future hahahaha—— "

The young onmyoji stepped forward, and bowed respectfully under Mayor Huang's almost terrified gaze, with a soft and natural voice: "Hello, Mr. Huang, my name is Lan Yu."

Immediately afterwards, he turned to Chuhe, and seemed to feel some kind of dangerous atmosphere in an instant, his pupils dilated and contracted slightly.

"..." The young onmyoji clasped the thumb of his left hand with the palm of his right hand, clasped his hands with the backs of his hands facing outwards, bowed his body and performed a meeting ceremony specially for warlocks: "It's the first time we meet, please take care of me."
