[Town Soul] Zhao Yunlan Small Theater

Chapter 25 Scene 5

Zhao Yunlan's injury is almost healed.

No, on New Year's Eve, he can get out of bed.

On the night of New Year's Eve, he can leisurely take the beauty to the special mediation office to watch the new year.

Although he was beaten a little bit hard, the bowl of herbal medicine that Shen Wei wakes up every night to drink is really good.In just a few days, Zhao Yunlan recovered from a listless state lying on the bed to Zhao Yunlan who can sit and never stand.Zhao Yunlan was very satisfied with this, he used to worry about whether his injury was healed and he couldn't take Shen Wei to the place, but now it seems that worrying is completely unfounded.

"Director Zhao." As soon as he walked into the chief's room, Lin Jing's smiling face came into view.

"Yeah." Zhao Yunlan was a little surprised: "Didn't you go back?"

Lin Jing's family is out of town, and in the past few years, he would ask for leave in advance to go home for the New Year. Probably because this winter is too cold, his whole family flew to Hainan for vacation.Lin Jing has always disliked the overly humid and warm air in the south, so she simply stayed in the special adjustment office. Anyway, the cafeteria has good food, and she doesn't have to prepare her own New Year's items.Of course, he didn’t say that to his colleagues. To his colleagues, he choked up and said that because his year-end bonus was deducted this year, he really didn’t have the face to go home to see his parents. , I can't get New Year's money out of my pocket, alas, it's better to hide in the office aggrieved, and work overtime dedicatedly by the way.Although Zhao Yunlan hadn't heard his grievance-filled remarks, he had a premonition from his blinking eyes that this man seemed to be planning something.

Sure enough, as soon as she saw Shen Wei, Lin Jing graciously pulled out a chair: "Master Heipao, sit down, sit down, it's cold outside, it's the warmest day to stay in the office, let me tell you, I I’ve been living in the house for the past two days and it’s almost frozen into lumps of ice... Oh, you don’t know, my year-end bonus has been deducted, and I really have no money to pay the heating bill. The landlord said that if I don’t pay the rent for two days, I will have to bring my luggage Throw me out... huh? Zhao Chu, what did you just say? Why didn't I go back? Sigh, it's not that you don't have money to buy things for the Chinese New Year..."

"Lin Jing," Zhao Yunlan cut off his stand-up comedy, and pulled Shen Wei to let him sit on his leather swivel chair: "How do you know Shen Wei's real identity?"

"Didn't Daqing say it? Everyone in the office knew about it. They all praised Zhao Chu for your vision and skills! Even the black-robed envoy was picked up by you... and you caught up."

Shen Wei's face flushed slightly.As a black-robed envoy, he has always been a feared figure in the three realms. In the realm, his subordinates dare not even raise their heads to talk to him. When was he ever ridiculed like this?Especially when it comes to things like emotions.He was a little at a loss, Zhao Yunlan's subordinates were just like him, always relentless.

Fortunately, Yunlan seemed to feel his discomfort, pulled a chair and sat beside him, covering his slightly cold hands: "Look, we have had business contacts before, how nice, you treat me I know the job well, and I won't be able to lie to you in the future."

Shen Wei stared at him, Zhao Yunlan smiled, turned to look at Lin Jing, and suddenly remembered something: "The data cable you made for me last time is not bad."

"Of course." Lin Jing seemed to see the hope of restoring the year-end award: "At that time, I worked hard to make that data cable. The ordinary data cable is a bundle of conductive copper wires wrapped in plastic rubber. It is easy to tear off, so I mixed gold wire into the conductive white copper wire, and wrapped five bundles! And the rubber skin, it is easy to age after a long time, I injected a layer of hot melt glue on the outside to ensure that it can be used It’s been ten or eight years! Let me tell you, Zhao Chu, you didn’t feel good until now, aren’t you a bit dull?”

"It's quite slow," Zhao Yunlan gritted his teeth: "Your bonus for next year is gone!"

Lin Jing was stunned for a moment, then turned to Shen Wei with a desperate expression of "heaven and earth", "You don't care about him?"

Shen Wei suppressed a smile: "Yunlan, don't bully him."

Zhao Yunlan: "Trust him? Damn it!... All right, I'll listen to you, Lin Jing, I'll go to Wang Zheng's to receive the year-end award later, so that you don't have to talk about it. Fuck, I really treated you badly You can't make it? No deductions next year, and no bonuses will be deducted in the future!"

Lin Jing's face suddenly changed from cloudy to sunny, and he happily planned how to communicate with Professor Shen more, so that his life in the Special Investigation Department would be more nourishing in the future.

Then I heard Zhao Yunlan's voice: "...No buckle! Turn it into a whip, do it yourself, come to me to get it!"

Lin Jing lost her ears for a moment: "Huh?...Master Heipao, do you want some tea?"

Then he took a hot water bottle and went to the boiling water room.

Wang Zheng and Sang Zan walked in, rubbing Lin Jing's shoulders. It was Chinese New Year, and Wang Zheng daubed some red powder on his forehead. It was the custom of the Hanga people.

"My lord," Wang Zheng put the fruit plate in his hand on the table in front of Shen Wei, and pulled Sangzan: "Thank you."

"Thank you." Sang Zan said casually.

"You're welcome." Shen Wei smiled gently, of course he knew why they were grateful.

"Tsk, Sang Zan's Mandarin has improved a lot. It seems that Wang Zheng has taught you a lot." Zhao Yunlan boasted.

Sang Zan looked at him and said, "Thank you, Pao Jiang, looking for a smoker." He has been practicing his retroflexes hard recently, and he called "Zhao Chu" as "Looking for a smoker."

Zhao Yunlan: "..."

Then I saw Sangzan take out an octagonal stone from his chest bag, handed it to Shen Wei with both hands: "Li Wu."

"This is the holy stone of the leader of our Hanga clan, which is also a symbol of power." Wang Zheng explained from the side: "Sangzan inherited this holy stone when he was the leader. It is said that it can strengthen the soul and life. Trapped in the mountains and rivers, it is also because of this that the soul is lost. This is the only treasure of the Hanga tribe. I discussed it with Sangzan and dedicated it to the most honorable benefactor in the tribe."

Shen Wei instinctively refused: "This is too expensive, I can't accept it."

Sang Zan was anxious: "Search, search!"

Wang Zheng said sincerely: "My lord, you have melted the ice and snow around the mountain and river cone, and you have also released the souls of the clansmen who have been trapped in the mountain and river cone for many years, so that our Hanga people can reincarnate, which is to forgive Sangzan's sins. No one compares You are more suitable to accept this gift."

Shen Wei couldn't refuse anymore, and took the holy stone.

Zhao Yunlan rubbed his chin, thinking why his subordinates seem to regard Shen Wei as a leader, giving gifts and flattery, shouldn't this be directed at him, the special director?But watching them all respect their daughter-in-law so much, of course I was also secretly happy: "Shen Wei, look, these people have never respected me so much over the years, tsk, my daughter-in-law of Zhao Yunlan , the charm is great! And Wang Zheng, don't call me a grown-up, Shengfen. Shen Wei is now a member of the Special Investigation Department, even if he doesn't call Mrs. Sister-in-law, he still has to be called as before! Isn't it?"

Shen Wei lowered his head, his crow-feather-like eyelashes kept trembling, Zhao Yunlan felt inexplicably that if he was given another Hanfu, he would pull it back and say: "This gentleman, don't make fun of me", he laughed out loud, Glancing at the stone in Shen Wei's hand: "You Hanga people like octagons very much?"

Sang Zan said a few words in the clan language, and Wang Zheng nodded and translated: "In our clan, the octagonal shape represents water, and stones represent mountains, and octagonal stones represent the spirit of mountains and waters. So we generally call stones immobile. Water, like mountains and rivers, is called "uncooled and frozen water" in the ethnic language because of the lingering ice and snow all the year round."

"Water that is not yet cold but already frozen..." Zhao Yunlan's thoughts moved. He had also heard this familiar sentence when he was beside the Sansheng Stone.That's right, stones that are not old and decaying, water that is not cold but frozen, bodies that are not alive but dead, souls that have not been burnt and melted... It turns out that the water that is not cold but frozen is the cone of mountains and rivers... So, what did Nu Wa think? tell him what?

"Yunlan." Shen Wei called him.

Zhao Yunlan came back to his senses: "Where is Daqing? Where are the others?"

"Daqing has been staying in the library for the past two days, not knowing what to look up. Old Chu drove Xiao Guo to cook a New Year's Eve dinner for a widowed old woman in his community, and he will be back in a while. Uncle Li is working in his small kitchen. Fried small dried fish. Also, sister Zhu Hong has asked for leave, and Elder Snake asked her to go to Yaoshi to celebrate the New Year." Wang Zheng said.

Zhao Yunlan nodded. Since Zhu Hong came to the special mediation office, it has been seven years since Zhu Hong went back to the Snake Clan for the New Year. He should go back to get together once in a while: "Okay. Go and call them, and we will have a New Year's Eve dinner together later. .”

"Howling, looking for a pump." Sang Zan responded.

Zhao Yunlan's eyebrows twitched: "Sang Zan, you can just call me the leader from now on."

"Howling, carry the knife." Sang Zan nodded towards Zhao Yunlan. For some reason, he felt that the leader in front of him suddenly had a grim expression, and hurriedly pulled Wang Zheng and walked out together.

Zhu Hong asked a little snake demon to send a jar of Baihua Yulu wine to the special blending office. She knew that Zhao Yunlan liked to drink light wine.

She hasn't been back to Yaoshi for the New Year in seven years. In the past, Fourth Uncle Snake would always call her to go back for a gathering, but when she thought that Zhao Yunlan would stay at the special mediation office during the New Year, she naturally declined the Fourth Uncle with various reasons. Uncle's invitation, to accompany Zhao Chu to watch the year with some colleagues who don't go home, it has become a habit after a long time, and gradually he has grown seven years old with him.But this year, for some reason, Fourth Uncle urged him very hard, and after she knew that Shen Wei would also accompany Lao Zhao to watch the New Year, she decided to go back to Yaoshi for the New Year.Anyway, the fourth uncle loved her the most since she was a child. Her parents passed away early. If it weren't for the fact that she was struck by lightning seven years ago, the fourth uncle had no choice but to entrust her to the soul-suppressing master. Maybe now Still guarding the halo of the fourth uncle in the demon city and practicing.And...Zhu Hong felt that she really couldn't see Lao Zhao and Shen Wei together anymore.

Ever since she knew that Shen Wei was the envoy of the black robe, she knew that she had completely lost.Yes, why didn't she think that for someone like Zhao Yunlan, how could ordinary people be worthy of him?How could it get into his eyes?As a snake demon, Zhu Hong has always believed that she has a natural advantage over Lao Zhao's previous lovers, but facing Shen Wei, she... has suffered a crushing defeat.This is not only because of the identity of the black-robed envoy Lingyu Three Realms, but also because of the look in Zhao Yunlan's eyes that Zhu Hong saw in the hospital—after Shen Wei left, his panicked eagerness, as if he had made a big mistake His gaffe had already engraved "I must never lose him" on his face.Zhu Hong knew Zhao Yunlan well, she had never seen him in a relationship before, so serious as now.

But she was a woman after all, so how could she let go of her years of affection so easily.In the past few days at the special mediation office, listening to the people's discussion about Shen Wei's identity, hearing their surprise and exclamation that Zhao Chu had hooked up with the black-robed envoy, Zhu Hong felt very uncomfortable.In the past few days, she has been shutting herself in the office and watching movies made by mortals day and night. The love of transvestites from all over the world made her nose sore.I have to admit that human beings are indeed an emotional group. Through the lens of the movie, Zhu Hong seems to have recalled all the emotional fluctuations in herself from the time she met Zhao Yunlan to the present. Her eyes are red and she feels depressed.

Fortunately, the liveliness of the Chinese New Year dilutes this uneasiness. Sitting at the reunion dinner table of the Snake Clan, she saw the pot of wine on the table at a glance. "Table Culture" published a long-winded criticism.Is there such a drinker?He scolded, this is not eating, this is fucking me to death!When I am free, go to a paradise, carry a jug of sake, find a beautiful woman by my side, throw that stupid cat of Daqing under the table to warm my feet, face the majestic green mountains, and drink by myself, then I will feel at ease.Zhu Hong still remembers teasing Lao Zhao that she didn't meet the standard of that beauty, but what she got was "Well, she's pretty for a maid, stand aside and pour the bar", so angry that she punched him twice.Thinking of this, Zhu Hong smiled involuntarily. Just like what was said in the movie, feelings are really amazing. Although I have decided to give up Zhao Yunlan, I don’t even dare to watch him get along with his lover anymore, but Always inadvertently think of some good memories.So she called a little snake demon and asked him to help send a jar of the same wine to the special mediation office, hoping that Zhao Yunlan could take this opportunity to drink freely.

Zhu Hong's thoughts naturally couldn't escape the eyes of Fourth Uncle Snake. Just after the family banquet, Fourth Uncle called her into the room.

"Ah Hong, you failed to cross the catastrophe back then, and it has been seven years since you were protected by the Soul Suppressing Order. In my opinion, our monster race still has to focus on cultivation. Although the special mediation is good, it is not a suitable place for cultivation. I plan to talk to Lingzhu to let you go back to the mountains to practice after the Chinese New Year..."

"Fourth Uncle!" Zhu Hong cut off his words, "Why did I leave the Special Investigation Department!"

Uncle Snake took a sip of tea: "You have been in a trance today, why?"

Zhu Hong pursed her lips.

"Do you think I really can't see your feelings for Lingzhu?" Uncle Snake sighed and closed the cup lid: "Such a mindless mind is not conducive to cultivation after all—if the Lord and you are in love with each other, it will be fine." That's all, but the current situation clearly shows that this is not the case, Lingzhu has..."

Zhu Hong was irritated and shouted: "Why can't I compare to him!"

Fourth Uncle Snake: "He is the black-robed emissary."

Zhu Hong's snake eyes stood up: "You know?"

Uncle Snake nodded: "I knew it a long time ago, but I just didn't want to make you feel uncomfortable. You must know who the black robe envoy is. Even when I see him, I have to avoid him and bow my head. How can you compare him to him? Ah Hong, as elders, we always think of the younger generation. Besides, you grew up with me, so there is no reason for me not to think about you... Rather than suffering by his side, it is better to go back to practice with us. Wait for a long time, that's all."

Zhu Hong: "Follow you? Fourth Uncle, you want to go back too?"

Uncle Snake smiled: "Although Dayin is hidden in the city, the demon city is in the city after all, so it will inevitably be affected by the worldly atmosphere. Our demon clan has made a decision through the elders meeting a few days ago, and recently we have moved out of the dragon city one after another. City, each go back to practice."

Zhu Hong couldn't help being surprised: "The demon city has been the center of the demon clan for thousands of years, so it's going to disperse like this?"

Fourth Uncle Snake sighed: "Huawu is red for a hundred days. Ah Hong, you have been with the Lord these few years, so naturally you have no time to take care of the affairs of our snake clan. This is what I plan: when you get to the deep mountains, after you have achieved the results of your cultivation, I will hand over the Snake Clan to you."

Zhu Hong: "Fourth Uncle, I can't take on such a big responsibility."

Fourth Uncle Snake waved his hand: "I have my own plan. When that day really comes, you are the one who stayed by his side after all... Forget it, it's too early to say this now. You go back to clean up in these two days, and then talk to your colleagues." Let’s say goodbye, and we’ll be together.”

Zhu Hong thought for a while, then shook her head: "I can't do it."

Fourth Uncle Snake was a little angry: "Why are you so stubborn, kid! What good will it do to stay by his side!"

Zhu Hong's eye circles turned red in an instant: "I know that too. But I really don't want to leave him... Fourth Uncle, I know you love me, but will it feel better if I leave him? Don't we snake monsters Thousands of years of life, let me stay by his side for the rest of my life, I will watch over him for the rest of my life, as long as he is gone, I will leave the Special Investigation Office. I will never provoke him again in my next life, is that okay?"

Uncle Snake was silent for a long time: "I didn't expect you to be a lover... Well, with your appearance, it seems that I can't convince you anymore. Forget it, then you hand this thing over to the lord, and say that our snake clan is leaving Dragon City is gone, this is a thank you to him for taking care of you."

Zhu Hong looked at the box that the fourth uncle handed over, and a bead exuding a warm luster lay in it: "What is this?"

"Water dragon ball, the sacred object of our snake tribe, can soothe the nerves and ward off evil spirits. You stay here for two days, and give it to him after the new year."

Zhu Hong took it carefully: "Okay."

Shen Wei was drunk by the Baihua Yulu wine sent by Zhu Hong.

This was the first time he formally had dinner with Zhao Yunlan's colleagues, and it was such a lively occasion for the New Year's Eve dinner. Even though he even said that he didn't know how to drink, he still couldn't resist the enthusiasm of Zhao Yunlan's subordinates. Such things as "Professor Shen, our Zhao office will entrust you to you from now on", "Thank you for changing the cat litter for me every day", "Valentine's Day is really suitable for lovers", "Cheers to the years of cooperation between the Special Investigation Office and the land boundary", etc., even never Wang Zheng, who eats human food, also had the courage to toast a glass of wine for the Hanga people, and it would be unreasonable for Shen Wei to refuse.In addition, Zhao Yunlan, who was the only one who could hold back the wine for him—yes, Zhao Yunlan was happily watching from the sidelines at the moment, and had no intention of stopping his subordinates from booing at all. Shen Wei even felt that these people's desperate toasts were hinted by him.

In fact it is.As soon as Zhao Yunlan saw the jar of Baihua Yulu Wine, the idea of ​​getting Shen Wei drunk began to appear in his mind: this idea was implemented because Zhao Yunlan knew that Baihua Yulu Wine was a treasure of the Yaozu, and it was said that it was made with the flowers of the Huazu. The aroma of one hundred kinds of flowers presented, together with the dew collected by the butterflies every morning, mixed with the alpine nectar taken by the bees, various wild fruits picked by the monkeys, and the snow water from the mountain peaks pecked by the eagles, sealed for three years Brewed for three months, there is absolutely no harm in drinking too much.On the other hand, he is also paving the way for his next move.

Hehe, Zhao Yunlan smiled obscenely. As a pure one, yes, a pure man with a firm stand, there are some ideas that cannot be easily given up, such as turning over and making decisions.To be honest, Zhao Yunlan always felt that if he hadn't been beaten up last time and was unable to resist, Shen Wei would never have succeeded so easily.This is completely taking advantage of others! !Therefore, Zhao Yunlan often stared at Shen Wei's figure in a suit and lifted iron these two days and fell into meditation. The core of his meditation was how he should successfully overwhelm the black-robed envoy with his own strength.During this thinking process, Zhao Yunlan designed countless possibilities, and of course each possibility ended with Zhao Yunlan fighting a beautiful turnaround.Hehehe, choosing a date is worse than bumping into it. It just so happens that his injury is almost healed today, and the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year is also good. The sofa in the director's room is quite spacious, and the office play is full of fun, plus this pot of Baihua Yulu Wine... As long as you get the beauty drunk, you can take action immediately~ Zhao Yunlan licked his lips, and he was 1% confident in his success tonight.

It's just that he didn't expect Shen Wei to be so completely drunk.

The black-robed envoy feared by the Three Realms turned out to be a drinker!It was too late when Zhao Yunlan discovered this fact. After drinking a few glasses of wine one after another, Shen Wei fell headfirst on the dining table. When he was on the sofa countless times, he still didn't respond in the slightest.

Fall short.

Now Zhao Yunlan only feels distressed.

Yes, now Zhao Yunlan is sitting on the edge of the sofa with a little guilt, wiping Shen Wei's pale face from drunkenness with a hot towel from time to time, while warming Shen Wei's cold chest with the palm of his hand.The drunkenness of the black-robed envoy was also different from that of ordinary people, probably because the primordial spirit temporarily fell asleep in this body, and his most direct reaction was that he lost his heartbeat and breathing completely.Even though he knew there was no serious problem, Zhao Yunlan still had a trace of anxiety about losing Shen Wei.He took off his coat and gently covered him.

Under the bright fluorescent light, the sleeping Shen Weiqing was as handsome as a beauty in a painting.Zhao Yunlan held Shen Wei's right hand tightly, waiting for him to wake up.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed across the dark sky outside the window, and crackling firecrackers sounded.At the same time, cheers came from the office of the Special Investigation Office.

Zhao Yunlan smiled lightly, the new year has arrived.
