The next morning, we drove home.
In the car, I finally had time to play with my phone.
I saw many messages from several friends.
Chu Yue asked if I was home, saying she wanted to go camping and have a barbecue, and asked if I had time.
Xia Qiu Xi also sent a message, asking about my progress and to reply to her when I saw it.
Li Shiyao sent her thanks, saying that the film crew was now running smoothly without any further abnormalities, and invited us to a meal.
I don't have many friends; there are only a few I can count on.
I replied to them one by one.
Meanwhile, Old Mo, while driving, was discussing taking Chen Yao to meet his parents with his uncle.
He was being lectured by his uncle.
His uncle said that he was being too forward with the girl before marriage.
He also said that regardless of whether Old Mo's parents agreed or not, he couldn't let Chen Yao down.
Old Mo kept assuring him.
Hu Mei, listening to our chat, suddenly asked a question.
She asked why humans get married, and if it was for procreation.
Actually, the earlier part was fine and not wrong.
But upon hearing those two words, everyone instantly became extremely awkward.
After driving for a whole day, we finally returned to Qingshan City.
I took Xiao Mei back to No. 81.
The first thing I did upon returning home was to burn incense for my master.
However, Xiao Mei's first action upon arriving home was to look at the clock, then say, "Just in time," before heading into the inner room without looking back to watch television.
I didn't bother with her; I lit the incense and candles.
I recounted my experiences of the past few days to my master's spirit tablet.
When I finished and entered the room, I found that the female demon was watching "Wild Kingdom" again.
She was giggling as she watched, like a lovesick girl.
Perhaps in her eyes, those fluffy big lions and thick-skinned rhinos
were no different from handsome men and young heartthrobs!
"Xiao Mei, I'll buy you chickens tomorrow. I'm going to bed first,"
I yawned and said.
Xiao Mei didn't even look at me:
"Go ahead, go ahead!"
After saying that, she shifted her bare white legs that were resting on the sofa.
A true fox spirit.
After sleeping soundly, I woke up the next day to find Xiao Mei had reverted to her original form and was sleeping on the sofa.
As soon as I went out, she lifted her eyelids.
Then, in a slightly aggrieved voice, she said:
"Qin Ze, I'm hungry. I want to eat big chickens!"
"Hahaha! Alright, I'll go buy them for you."
With that, I went out.
After having breakfast outside, I bought over twenty turkeys at the market for Xiao Mei and asked the shopkeeper to deliver them later.
Returning to the shop, I resumed setting up my stall.
It had been so many days since I had opened the shop.
The business wasn't good, so I started drawing Divine Fire Talismans in the shop.
I hoped to succeed in drawing the talismans as soon as possible.
The shop had been open until the afternoon when a luxury car stopped in front of my house.
Then, I saw a familiar figure step out.
It was Chu Yue.
Seeing Chu Yue get out, I smiled and stood up:
"Chu Yue, why are you here?"
Chu Yue gave me a sideways glance:
"Can't I come? Didn't you say you were back yesterday? Today is the weekend, and I had nowhere else to go, so I came to find you."
"What's so fun here? Please, come in and sit down."
As I spoke, I invited Chu Yue into the house.
"What have you been busy with lately? You haven't been in the city?"
Chu Yue asked.
"Nothing much. It's just that some things have been restless. As people in our line of work, we naturally can't let those things run rampant."
I didn't elaborate on the matter of demonic forces.
Although Chu Yue knew what I did, she wasn't in the same profession.
The less she knew, the better it was for her.
"Do you have anything to do today?"
"Nothing in particular, why?"
"It's nothing. If you're not busy, could you accompany me to a construction site?"
"To a construction site?"
I was a little taken aback.
Chu Yue stopped playing coy and directly said:
"Our company has a plot of land in the Longgang Mountain area.
The development there has started in full swing.
However, our plot of land seems to have encountered some malevolent events.
Two or three people have died at the construction site, and several others have been injured, severely delaying the project.
Now that you're back, come with me to take a look.
Perhaps there's a problem with the feng shui. You have nothing else to do anyway."
Hearing this, I chuckled.
I knew it. Chu Yue, as the vice president of the group, was usually busy from dawn till dusk; how could she come to me just to hang out?
So it turned out her company's construction site had an anomaly.
These things are very common at construction sites; encountering some malevolent events is also commonplace.
Since Chu Yue had come to my door, I naturally had to go.
Otherwise, if I waited a few more days, I would have to go out again.
Without any hesitation, I immediately nodded:
"Alright, I'll grab my things and head over."
Chu Yue nodded and waited for me for a moment.
I picked up the compass, some talismans, and other items, but didn't take my peach wood sword.
Then, I shouted into the house:
"Xiao Mei, I'm going out for a bit. Take care of the house!"
As I shouted, Chu Yue, who was standing nearby, was stunned.
She turned her head to look into the inner room.
"Got it."
Xiao Mei replied, her voice soft.
Chu Yue's expression became even more surprised, almost disbelieving:
"Qin, Qin Ze, in, inside is, is..."
