The road of the house owner of the pig in the Chanyuan

The man is actually the boss of a small company whose main business is home decoration.

It is reasonable to say that home decoration should be a promising industry, but I don’t know if it’s the man’s bad vision or bad luck. In the past five years since entering the industry, although he has not experienced any major losses, he has maintained the company’s operations. But never really made any big money either.

The man was naturally very anxious about this. He didn't understand what went wrong. Obviously, the friend who entered the industry with him in the past has now successfully become a leader in the industry, but he has survived for many years, but he still seems to be in the same place. , Even when he went to the so-called class reunion, he was secretly ridiculed by those former classmates who were much worse than him in grades.

This is how he can swallow this breath!

Especially after the wife gave birth to a daughter, the expenses required are getting bigger and bigger, but the industry that was once thought to have a bright future seems to be finally saturated with load, and it can still make ends meet. The profits of the profitable company have been slowly declining since last year.

To this end, he had to use all the means he could think of, whether it was reducing employee bonuses to save money, or leading employees to work overtime until late at night, or strictly managing the company's internal discipline rules, expressly prohibiting early leave and late He realized that he has made many attempts to increase the punishment and deduction of wages, all in order to be able to lead a group of employees through this difficult time.

Unexpectedly, those employees didn't know how to be grateful. Instead of sharing weal and woe with the company, they even handed in their resignation letter to him together with several people. Even the remaining employees were very dissatisfied with him and complained quite a lot. In the end, they jointly sent a letter, hoping to increase their wages by 20.00%.

Fortunately, he treated these people so kindly in the past, but now it seems that they are all raising a group of white-eyed wolves!

The man gritted his teeth more and more, and the wife at home, as if aware of it, quarreled with him more and more times. Even a week ago, she packed her own luggage and left them with peace of mind. My daughter, who was still in kindergarten, went back to her mother's house in Kyoto alone.

What's worse, I don't know if it's because he leaves early and comes back late, so he can't take good care of his daughter, so he can only buy ready-made bento for his daughter at the convenience store. Her daughter's nutrition is insufficient, and the seasons change. He is just a careless person. I don't know when I caught the cold.

Helpless, the man had no choice but to put down his work for the time being, and took his daughter to the private clinic that his wife used to take her to early in the morning. When he got there, he was told that he had to make an appointment one day in advance for consultation.

These were all handled by his wife in the past.

Thinking of this, the man became more and more annoyed, and felt that the wife who ran back to her mother's house regardless of her care was really ignorant to the extreme, but his daughter's illness really couldn't be delayed, so he could only hold back his anger and came to the relatively nearest Mihua general Hospital.

As a result, when his daughter finally finished her medical treatment, he thought that he would be able to go to the pharmacy to get a few packs of cold medicine and he would be able to finish the job, but was told by the pediatric nurse that his daughter had seasonal influenza, not Ordinary wind chill.

At that moment, the man only felt that a fire burning with black smoke directly burned all his lack of rationality, especially the indifferent expression on the nurse's business-like face, which reminded him of There are so many annoying scenes, the employee who asked to resign, the wife who left, and the nurse in front of him, all of them... are against him!

They are all against him! ! !

The man who was burning with anger slapped the face in front of him that made him sick to his stomach, and vigorously waved away. Even if it didn't relieve his hatred, he even wanted to kick the woman's internal organs to pieces, telling her to return Dare to talk nonsense!

However, before he kicked out this kick to relieve his anger, a force directly picked him up from behind, strangled his neck, and made him almost out of breath.

"You! Let go, let go!"

The man grabbed his neckline angrily, trying to give himself some room to breathe, but just now he had a look of resentment on his face, but now it was as red as a monkey's buttocks, and even that loud voice that was almost deafening could only be heard at this moment. Barely able to let out a breath or two intermittently.

"Uncle, I hope you understand that this is a hospital, not your living room," Naoya said without any mercy, even with one hand and the other holding Xiaohui, who also had the same wrinkled face, he still held the man firmly. Slowly lift your feet to the void and lift your toes off the ground, "If you are really dissatisfied and insist that the doctors and nurses here have lied to you, you can choose to call the police."

Saying that, Naoya threw the man aside, and turned to protect the little girl who was almost fainted, but was about to fall to the ground because she lost the support of the man.

However, on the back of the little girl, as far as Naoya could see, there was a grotesque monster that looked like a cicada, but was the size of a little girl's head.

"Uncle!" Xiaohui naturally also saw the strange creature on the little girl's back, and couldn't help but tugged Naozai's fingers in amazement for a while, her frowning brows were stained with a few traces of distinct anxiety, and she whispered nervously, "She On the back—"

"Shh, good boy, Xiaohui, don't worry." Naoya held back a little bit of strength to hold Xiaohui, so as to slightly block the child's vision.

At the same time, the big blue snake quietly protruded from the shadow under his feet, followed his arm holding the little girl, walked slowly and quietly approached the side of the curse spirit, and vomited. Snake letter, before the curse spirit had any reaction, opened its big mouth with lightning speed, exposed its poisonous fangs, and bit down suddenly.

"Hey—!"

The curse spirit even had time to let out a piercing scream, and the next second, it was like burnt ashes, dissipating into the invisible, and the little girl who was panting heavily and flushed, after the curse spirit dissipated, her symptoms disappeared. It seemed to have eased a lot, not only the unbearably closed brows and eyes relaxed, but even the slightly rapid breathing fluctuations gradually returned to normal calmness.

The man who was thrown aside just now, after coughing for a long time while protecting his neck, finally regained his composure. As soon as he raised his head, he saw the boy who was holding his back collar just now, stretching out his hand to After touching his daughter, his eyes immediately turned red, and he recklessly let out a hoarse reprimand——

"Let go of my daughter!"

The man snatched his daughter from Naoya's hand, and looked at Naoya with an angry face, but there was still a bit of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes unconsciously, thinking of the strange strength of the other party's easy lifting of him, he felt apprehensive. He took two steps back, hugged his daughter and bluffed, "What do you want to do!?"

Naoya glanced at the girl who was tightly protected by the man, and then at the man's already somewhat messy face and clothes, all the anger in his heart seemed to be hit on the cotton, and he couldn't think of teaching the other party any more, so he frowned. Pursing her lips, she ignored the man's yelling and vigilance, and turned to look at the female nurse who had fallen to the ground before.

During Zhizai's confrontation with the man, Xia Youjie quickly came to the nurse, lifted him up carefully, frowned and asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"

"Ah...thank you," the female nurse was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled indifferently, as if she didn't take her experience to heart. Seeing Xia Youjie's frown, she comforted her in a low voice, "But Just a little thing."

"Small matter?" Hearing this, Xia Youjie frowned more and more. He was obviously very puzzled by the nurse's words, so that there was a faint trace of annoyance that he hadn't even noticed. From a certain corner of his heart, he quietly Gushing out, he said in a deep voice, "But that person just now--!"

"Jay."

But he didn't want to, Zhizai suddenly pressed Xia Youjie's shoulder from behind, interrupting the other party's unfinished words, and Xia Youjie, who was pressed by the shoulder, paused, pursed the corners of his mouth, and took a step back, no longer Talk too much.

"You are..." The female nurse glanced at Naoya in surprise, and bowed slightly, "Thank you very much just now, may I ask, are you together?"

"You're welcome, it's just a matter of little effort," Naoya smiled and said softly, "We brought my little nephew here for the vaccination together. His name is Chanyuan Hui, and we made an appointment in advance through the office."

"Ah, so it's you," the nurse was stunned for a moment, but she quickly realized and nodded, "Sorry, I was negligent, please follow me here." After finishing speaking, the nurse turned around and walked towards ahead.

The man who was originally very nervous at the back saw that Naoya and the nurse left the crowded aisle together not long after, and gradually disappeared into the corner in front. Although he was relieved from the bottom of his heart, he clenched his teeth resentfully.

He glanced at the daughter in his arms, and listened to the whispers around him who seemed to be pointing and pointing at him, but he couldn't bear it after all, and turned around as well—but ran towards the exit.

Xia Youjie, who deliberately took a step slower, squinted his eyes when he saw the back of the man leaving in embarrassment.

Under the guidance of the nurse, the three of Naoya soon came to the door of the injection room of the Department of Pediatrics. The nurse took out a notebook from her arms and sketched a few strokes, probably recording something, then looked at Naoya and stretched out her arms He said gently, "Come on, please leave Xiaohui to me, the parents just wait outside for a while."

Hearing this, Naoya nodded, and was about to pass Xiaohui over, but she didn't want to, Xiaohui tightly grasped the overlapping collar on his chest, pressed her small face against his chest, closed her eyes, almost evading He refused to see the nurse behind him.

"Xiaohui?" Naoya couldn't help laughing for a moment, patted the child on the back, and asked softly, "When I was outside just now, Xiaohui was very brave, what's going on now?"

"Little, uncle..." Xiaohui said sullenly, with a slight tremor in her tone, as if she was worried about Naozai's embarrassment. After a moment of silence, she finally couldn't help but feel a little hesitant She asked eagerly, "Can you come in with me?" After speaking, Xiaohui was probably a little embarrassed by her inconsistency, and quickly buried her head on Naoya's chest in embarrassment.

"This..." Naoya looked up at the nurse. He was worried that Xiao Hui would go in for the vaccination alone, but now he was even more reluctant to let go of the child in his arms.

"It's okay, it's not a big problem." Seeing this, the female nurse smiled understandingly, "Just ask the parents to hold the child well later, so as not to get injured during the vaccination."

"Well, I got it," Zhizai nodded, looked at Xia Youjie and said, "That Jie, why don't you wait for me outside for a while?"

"Okay, let's go." Xia Youjie nodded in response.

After Zhizai walked into the injection room with Xiaohui in his arms, there were only Xia Youjie and the female nurse left in the aisle in front of the injection room.

Xia Youjie looked sideways at the female nurse, only to find that she seemed to be continuing the previous record, drawing non-stop on the notebook with her arm, but her cheeks that had been slapped were already slightly reddened, and it was obvious that she was about to swell rising trend.

"That..." Xia Youjie interrupted the female nurse hesitantly, and when she saw the female nurse looking at him suspiciously, he pointed to his cheek, "Your face... Is it really okay not to deal with it? It seems to be a little swollen."

"Ah, this, hiss—" As if just reacting, the nurse stretched out her fingertips and touched her flushed cheeks lightly, but she didn't want to take a breath immediately, "It's okay, I'll be there soon It's time for my shift change, I will apply ice packs when the time comes, thank you for your concern."

"...Aren't you angry?" Xia Youjie looked at the nurse's face, was silent for a while, and finally couldn't help asking, "Obviously that person was at fault first, but as a nurse, you You don't feel very—”

"Angry? Not worth it?"

The nurse accepted Xia Youjie's words, and seeing Xia Youjie's dazed face, she slightly raised the corners of her lips, nodded and admitted, "Indeed, as a nurse, not only do you have a lot of tedious work, but you will always meet some Unreasonable patients or family members, sometimes serious, even cause some accidents, no matter how you look at it, the two professions of nurses and doctors are very, very hard."

Even so, listening to the nurse's tone, it seemed to be normal, and there were not too many emotional ups and downs.

Xia Youjie was stunned.

"However, since I have chosen this profession and accepted this identity, I should be responsible for it," said the nurse with a smile, "What's more, it hasn't always been this bad. Lots of people like you and your friends."

"Like me?" Xia Youjie asked in a daze.

The nurse smiled lightly and pointed to her cheek, what she wanted to say was self-evident.

----

It didn't take much time for Xiaohui to get vaccinated. In less than 5 minutes, Naoya walked out of the injection room with Xiaohui in his arms. The only difference was that there was an extra cotton swab on Xiaohui's lotus root-like arm. .

Next, it's time to go to the pharmacy next to the hospital to pick up the medicine.

On the way, the atmosphere among the three of them seemed a little quiet. Xiaohui was vaccinated because of the vaccine. The residual pain made him feel a little sleepy and didn't want to talk. He just lay in Zhizai's arms, motionless, while Zhizai and Xia You Jie, on the other hand... didn't know how to speak.

"Jie, have you seen the curse spirit on that little girl's back before?" Naoya was the first to break the silence, asking in a low voice as if casually mentioning it.

"......Um."

"I don't know if you still remember what I said to you yesterday?" Zhizai turned his head and glanced at Xia Youjie's indifferent side face, "I said at that time that there are many people in this world, and they are of all shapes and sizes. , and as a conjurer, you cannot guarantee that the people you save will be worthwhile."

After Xia Youjie heard this, he didn't say a word, but quietly clenched his fists with the hand hanging by his side.

"It's like today's nurse, even though she was treated like that, she still fulfilled her duties," Naoya paused, and continued with a trace of sincere admiration in his tone, "Because that's her job, her duty where."

"Even if you want her to save a criminal?" Xia Youjie asked immediately, his tone was not as gentle as usual, but a little aggressive.

"Of course." Naoya nodded, "Even criminals have the right to be released on parole for medical treatment."

Xia Youjie pursed the corners of his lips with a hint of sarcasm.

"But the criminal's crimes have not disappeared because of this," Zhizai looked at Xia Youjie and said, "Law/law will still judge criminals."

"Similarly, what a conjurer should really do is exorcising the curse spirit," Naoya smiled, and added the word "exorcising" with an accent, "As for the people saved by 'by the way', if they Good people, of course, have nothing to say, if they are evil... then they should be handed over to those who really have power and are obliged to deal with them."

Xia Youjie was still silent, but the darkness in his eyes seemed to fade a bit with Naoya's words.

"Jie, you should treat the conjurer as a profession and be responsible for it, and not as a mission, and completely immerse yourself in it," Naoya lowered his eyes as he said, as if caught in some kind of memory , whispered slowly, "Because no one can save someone all the time, and no one can guarantee that in my life, I will never need help or protection from others."

"You can't, and neither can I."

"Even Wu will go to the dentist because of tooth decay," Naoya joked, then looked at Xia Youjie again, and asked warmly, "So Jie, let me ask again, do you want to think about it?" Why don't you come to our firm for an internship?"

This time, Xia Youjie was silent for a long time, until the three of them came to the door of the pharmacy unknowingly, he seemed to have finally made up his mind and looked at Naoya.

Facing Naoya's invitation again, his expression was no longer high-skilled at all, that subtle tactful evasion, but a very solemn promise, "I will definitely think about it seriously."
