Taoism on the tip of the tongue

Chapter 38 The Third Plate of Flower Cake

Gu Changsheng and the people from the special department guarded the supermarket for a week, not to mention the evil cultivators, and he didn't even see the hem of the evil cultivators' clothes.Times are changing, and it seems that paranoid magicians have learned what it means to keep a low profile and swallow their anger under the country's vigorous suppression.

"The higher authorities have conducted an investigation. There are only two tear-off bag suppliers in city A. Recently, both of these two department managers have changed their department managers. As soon as the incident came out, the two department managers disappeared, and they didn't even go through the resignation procedures. You can't see people alive, but you can't see dead bodies."

"Dead?" Gu Changsheng asked speculatively.

"No, the current suspicion is that the other party used someone else's identity. After the incident was revealed, a golden cicada escaped. According to the investigation, the ID cards used by the two people, the original owner of the ID card has been working as a farmer in his hometown, and has no idea what happened , They don’t even know they lost their ID cards.” Rural people rarely use their ID cards.Sometimes it is placed in a drawer, and it will not be looked through once throughout the year.Not found is normal.

As for the tear-off bag company, no one would verify the authenticity of other people's ID cards when they were working, so the two of them didn't get exposed, and they got away with it smoothly.It wasn't until they disappeared and the police came to the door under the pretext of chasing fugitives that the company colleagues knew what happened.While being surprised, he couldn't help shouting luck: nothing happened to him after working with the fugitive for several months.

In particular, because of the fugitive's ability to work, many of them have spoken ill of them behind their backs.There are also quite a few people who are eccentric in person.

This luck is simply against the sky, you can buy a lottery ticket.

"After investigating the other party's residence, we believe that this is likely to be a gang crime. From the surveillance, there are four evil cultivators who have shown their faces, and we don't know how many are hiding in the dark."

"No matter how many people there are, they probably have already left City A. The above means that everyone can leave after guarding today." They can't stay here for the rest of their lives, just to wait for four or a group. Appeared, when did the evil cultivator appear.

The special department is short-staffed and cannot afford such a waste of resources: "However, in order to ensure the safety of citizens, we will send people to take turns shopping in major supermarkets every day, pretending to be customers to patrol."

also.Gu Changsheng didn't have any opinion.The two hung out in the supermarket until the afternoon, and finally parted ways.

Not long after returning home, Gu Changsheng received a call from Mr. Chen.

"I want to build a shrine for the Kitchen God." I always feel that it is too simple to only paste a portrait on the wall.This time Lord Stove helped so much, and because of emotion and reason, Mr. Chen felt that he had to change to a more decent and comfortable residence for the old man: "Then build a golden body and put it in."

"But I don't understand these things. You see, how should the golden shrine be made? How tall and wide is the right size for the statue? What kind of wood should the shrine be made of? Can you recommend some good craftsmen?" Gu Changsheng must know Zao Jun's preferences better than him.

Make a golden body for the grandfather? !

Gu Changsheng's eyes lit up as soon as he heard it, all the fatigue from shopping in the supermarket for a day disappeared in an instant, and he was extraordinarily energetic: "How much is the budget?" Although he knew that Mr. Chen was not short of money, he still had to ask.

"There is no upper limit." Old Chen was very domineering.

At worst, all his life savings will be thrown into it.

Chen Lao, who has always been frugal and simple, does not feel that spending so much money to build a statue is a waste.In his heart, the Stove Lord has saved countless people and made countless merits in this evil cultivating incident.Not to mention just one golden body, even two or three, he tried to build them.

"I don't want the kind of gold leaf on the statue, it's too empty, it should be made of pure gold." This seems to be sincere.

The reason why he is so generous is that apart from being grateful to Lord Stove and wanting to create a real golden body for the other party, Mr. Chen also has a small selfish motive.He hoped that there would be similar incidents next time. For the sake of the Golden Body, the Kitchen God would remind them again, so that they could respond in time, reduce the degree of victimization of the citizens, and even directly prevent the occurrence of vicious incidents.

There is no way to pin your hopes on the gods.After all, evil cultivators have no rules at all, and the country has a weak foundation and a serious shortage of manpower in this regard, so it is impossible to monitor the whole country at all times.Knowing that there is still a way, Mr. Chen will certainly not let it go.

"Gold is too soft, so it might be difficult to get pure gold." Gu Changsheng had a series of phone numbers floating through his mind, vacillating, making it difficult to make a decision.

The craftsmen who let him remember the numbers are very skilled.

All of a sudden, Gu Changsheng didn't know which one to recommend to Mr. Chen: "In order to be able to shape, the gold must be mixed with other metals to some extent. But I know several veteran craftsmen, and their skills are superb, and they can minimize these problems to the greatest extent. The amount of metal added. Among them, several carpenters still have some precious old wood hidden in their hands, which is very suitable for making shrines. My previous god statues and shrines were also custom-made by them. I will share their excellent The shortcomings and contact information will be sent to you, and you can find out who to contact."

"That's fine." Mr. Chen was not too disappointed. It's not like he didn't think about this possibility before making the call.What's more, knowing that you don't need to search for wood by yourself is already an unexpected joy, so you can't be too demanding.There is nothing perfect in this world.

Knowing that Gu Changsheng doesn't have to go to the supermarket tomorrow, Old Chen's tea addiction started again: "I still have six grams of Dahongpao for you!" So when will you come to get it?

Now that the business is done, we can start exchanging tea and so on.

"Tomorrow and tomorrow." Gu Changsheng also wanted to get the tea leaves as soon as possible.He hasn't returned to his hometown for a long time, and when he returns this month, if he doesn't get some good things to coax him, his parents probably won't let him go easily.

Early the next morning, Gu Changsheng went to Chen's hometown.He didn't have an empty hand, and specially brought a table and noodles.The dishes prepared in advance are packed in two three-story carved food boxes.Because the food box was a bit heavy and it was inconvenient to carry it around, Gu Changsheng even took a taxi.

Casting spells on the tea leaves was not troublesome, and it took a total of half an hour from going in to coming out.Returning home with tea in his arms, Gu Changsheng rolled up his sleeves, put on an apron and started to work without taking a break.

It was agreed to make up for the Patriarch, starting from today.

Gu Changsheng planned to make flower cakes.There will be a lot of flowers here that are in bloom, yesterday he called someone to pick the freshest ones and deliver them.When the goods arrived in the morning, he washed the petals before going out, and the water has been controlled until now, and the moisture is just right.

The cake was just finished when the doorbell rang suddenly.

Who will come at this point?Both brothers of the Yu family have keys, so there is no need to ring the doorbell. Even if other people are looking for him, they usually go to the store by default.Gu Changsheng was a little curious, and looked out through the peephole before opening the door.

Standing outside the door was a tightly wrapped woman.In the high temperature of more than [-] degrees, others still find it too hot to wear short sleeves and wish they could be naked, but she is still wearing long sleeves and trousers.

Not to mention wearing a mask on his face, he even tied a gauze scarf.The scarf is not worn around the neck for decoration, but is draped over the head, covering most of the face.

The other party didn't seem to want people to see her face. Even with the double protection of a mask and a scarf, she still lowered her head subconsciously.The two hands were clasped together uneasily, and the shoulders were slightly shrunk inward, giving people the feeling of being very timid.

The woman's attire was really strange. Gu Changsheng weighed the force value of both sides, and after confirming that there was no place on the other side to hide the murder weapon, he opened the door.

"Excuse me, are you Master Gu?" Seeing the door open, the woman subconsciously took a step back, and tightened her clasped hands, and then summoned up the courage to ask.

"I'm Gu Changsheng."

"I didn't make a mistake." Although the master in front of me was a bit young, the woman was still relieved, and her tone of voice was not so tense: "I was introduced by Aunt Wu Jie." The master is a young man. Before coming, Aunt Wu Had a vaccination with her.

Wu Jie is Duoduo's mother, Gu Changsheng was very impressed, upon hearing this, he let the door open: "Come in first."

Without a cat's eye, seeing people is much more real.Gu Changsheng immediately noticed the thick black air on the woman's body.

Sit down facing each other and pour each other a cup of tea.Holding the steaming hot tea in the palm of his hand, the slightly hot temperature seemed to give the woman courage.

Putting the tea aside, the woman took off her scarf and mask, revealing her true face.

It was only then that Gu Changsheng realized that the girl in front of him was actually very young, she looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, if she hadn't been dressed too old-fashioned and her face was covered, she wouldn't have been mistaken for her age at all.

This is just a girl, far from being called a woman.

After taking off the mask, the girl smiled bitterly: "Did it scare you?"

"Actually, the first time I found out that I had become like this, I was also frightened."

There were dense red bumps all over the girl's face.It looked like pimples, like hives, but neither.

"At the beginning, there were only one or two pimples like this, so I didn't take it seriously. Although I haven't had acne since I was a child, but this year it's very hot, and I'm prone to get angry. It's normal to burst beans suddenly After I bought the acne patch and put it on, I thought it would be healed in a few days. Who knew that as time went by, the acne on my face not only didn’t heal, but also became more and more serious.”

"Introduced by my roommate, I started to use anti-acne products, but it didn't help. In the end, my face was so scary that when I came home, my parents almost couldn't recognize me." The face was ruined, the mother was of course anxious, and hurriedly dragged her to the hospital.

"I spent thousands of dollars in the hospital. I ate and wiped the medicine, but it didn't work at all. Not only did my face not improve, but it got worse and worse. The doctor said it wasn't acne at all."

The girl covered her face in despair: "I went to several hospitals in a row, and the doctors suspected that my body had too many toxins, and my body was detoxifying in this way. But no matter how I took medicine to detoxify, it didn't work."

"Because of this pimple on my face, others began to look at me strangely. My boyfriend broke up, and I couldn't read anymore, so I had to take a leave of absence. At first, I had friends who came to see me, but they became estranged after a while. , even my relatives started to point fingers, and the gossip behind them continued. Fortunately, my parents never gave up, and the attitudes of Aunt Wu and Sister Wu have not changed." The girl finally saw something in her eyes when she said this. Liang Guang: "Aunt Wu and my mother handed each other handkerchiefs. Aunt Wu married later, and they were not estranged. My sister took good care of me since I was a child. She and Aunt Wu moved here a few months ago. After the two families became neighbors, they were not estranged. I take more care of it."

The cause of Duo Duo's death was only discovered a few months ago.Without a younger sister, Wu Jie's eldest daughter will inevitably become more nervous about the other younger sister.

"Aunt Wu and Sister Wu have never looked at me with strange eyes, as if my face is as smooth and flawless as before. Except for my parents, only in their eyes, I am still a normal person."

"Even later, the same symptoms gradually began to appear on my body. My whole body seemed to be invaded by an unknown virus. I was desperately developing nausea and pimples, and their attitude was always the same." Not afraid of hurting her cautiously, but also There is no fear and loathing.

"I thought I could only be like this in the future, lingering on with a disgusting and ugly skin, and I resigned to my fate. But the sister of the Wu family asked about the situation carefully, and after knowing that I suddenly became like this, she became suspicious Something is wrong." The girl continued: "Later, Aunt Wu also felt the same way, and she suggested that I come to you."

"My parents agreed after discussing it." If she hadn't objected, they would have asked for leave to accompany her. The girl looked at Gu Changsheng: "Aunt Wu said that you might have a way."

In fact, she didn't think Gu Changsheng could do anything, after all, so many doctors were helpless.It's just that Aunt Wu and sister Wu believed in him, and she didn't want to disappoint their kindness.Even if stepping out of the house is a terrible thing for her now, she is willing to try it once.

Anyway, as she is now, it can't be any worse.
