Chapter 21 I am a filial son
"jingle!"
When Zhang Yi returned to the massage parlor, the number of customers not only did not decrease, but actually increased.
Dai Moli has been busy since opening the store in the morning and has not had time to take a bite. Fortunately, she is not alive, and those ice beads have been put in the refrigerator in advance, which does not consume much for her.
Otherwise, if you were a living person and had your hands soaked in cold ice beads, no one would be able to bear it for a long time.
But Uncle Zeng didn't care about this. After finishing serving the customers at hand, he looked at the time: "I'm off work."
Although there were still many customers queuing up in the store, Zhang Yi had no intention of asking Uncle Zeng to work overtime. He just asked, "Are you coming again this afternoon?"
"It depends on the situation. If you are really too busy, you can call me. I live very close to you."
After saying that, Uncle Zeng opened the door and was about to go out, but suddenly he remembered something: "Tomorrow is the 15th."
"Um?"
Seeing that he didn't understand, Uncle Zeng coughed slightly and could only remind him: "It's time to pay wages."
"Oh, I understand." Zhang Yi nodded.
Uncle Zeng frowned when he saw this, but did not leave.
"Uncle Zeng, is there anything else?"
"3700, plus commission."
Uncle Zeng, who usually seems cool and carefree, inevitably shows a normal embarrassment when it comes to his salary.
"Okay, I get it." Zhang Yi's straightforward attitude made Uncle Zeng very satisfied, and he was thinking that he could go find the Wang family girls a few more times this month.
"Uncle Zeng!"
At this time, Zhang Yi called him. Since he mentioned salary, he thought of another thing: "Uncle Zeng, did you receive some... counterfeit money in the store?"
Ghost banknotes definitely do not equal fake banknotes.
This has a legal basis.
But with the lessons learned from the last time he was ridiculed for being crazy, Zhang Yi secretly changed his concept.
At the same time, he stared at Uncle Zeng's face, hoping to see something unusual on his face.
But to Zhang Yi's disappointment, Uncle Zeng admitted it directly without any pause.
"Yes, quite a lot." But then Uncle Zeng added: "But this is not the reason for you to deduct my salary."
"ah??"
Zhang Yi was stunned and immediately waved his hand: "I didn't mean that. I just want to know where you put the counterfeit money you received?"
"Do you want to use it?"
Several customers who were still waiting in the store looked sideways at Zhang Yi.
"Um!"
Zhang Yi nodded directly, and then, under the disgusted and contemptuous eyes of the guests, he turned his head and looked at the black and white photo frame in the shrine.
"After all, he is my father."
The guests' originally disdainful glances gradually turned into sympathy and embarrassment.
Even Uncle Zeng in front of him fell silent.
Zhang Yi could feel Uncle Zeng's eyes staring at him under his sunglasses.
But he could still stare at the shrine without blushing or heart beating.
In the end, Uncle Zeng silently gave a thumbs up: "Son, your father knows what he is doing and will be happy for this."
"As a son of man, you just have to fulfill your filial piety."
When Zhang Yi said this, Uncle Zeng lowered his head and pointed to the confession table: "There is a drawer on the left, and everything is in it."
After saying that, he turned around and pushed out the door without looking back: "I won't be able to come over this afternoon."
"jingle!"
"He won't be angry, right?"
Dai Moli walked to Zhang Yi, looked at Uncle Zeng's retreating back, and whispered.
"No, maybe you were moved by me."
After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he did not forget to affirm himself: "Yes, after all, I am a good and filial child."
"We have all used up the ice beads today. Sorry, please come again next time."
After finishing the last four guests, Dai Moli could only helplessly take out a bucket to signal the end of today's service.
This left several customers behind with disappointment written all over their faces.
But facing a beautiful girl like Dai Moli and her gentle words, they really couldn't get angry.
The little fat man who had been waiting for an hour stood up and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay. It's just that we came too late. We'll come earlier next time."
"Thank you handsome man, I will give you a discount next time you come."
The words "handsome guy" made the little fat guy who came here just for fun smile from ear to ear with joy and gradually got lost in it.
Zhang Yi rolled his eyes when he saw this, thinking: "You haven't eaten any good pork."
However, Zhang Yi was still happy to deal with the God of Wealth who came to his door with a false smile.
After sending the little fat man away, Zhang Yi closed the store door.
When she looked back, she saw that Dai Moli had revealed her true form, lying on the massage chair with her legs crossed and starting to watch a TV series. All she needed was Zhang Yi to light a stick of incense for her.
He walked to the shrine, ignored the photos in the book, and opened the drawer on the side of the altar table to take a look.
"Hiss! Good guy, there are so many!"
I saw scattered money in the drawer, which didn't look like a small amount.
Now even Dai Moli couldn't sit still. He came over to take a look, then looked at Zhang Yi: "I feel a little sad."
"Distressed?"
"How many shoulders do I have to pinch and how many times do I have to photograph people to save the money?"
When Zhang Yi heard what Dai Moli said, he suddenly couldn't bear it.
The two looked at each other for a moment and said in unison:
"Thank you Uncle Zeng for the gift."
"Give him a raise tomorrow."
"YES!"
Zhang Yi called out the account book and touched the banknotes with one hand.
When his palm touched the money, the money in the drawer immediately began to turn into ashes.
And the turnover on the account books is also growing rapidly.
After there was no money left in the drawer, Zhang Yi looked at the account book again, and Zhang Yi's face was already filled with joy.
Adding in the turnover of 1,000 yuan from the resentment box exchange, the number on my account book is now 9,000 yuan.
He made a small fortune, but when Zhang Yi thought about it, he felt something was wrong.
"The turnover of 8,000 yuan is calculated as 200 yuan per person, and there are only 40 people. Isn't it a bit small?"
Ming Chao seemed to be a lot, but when he calmed down and calculated it, it was actually not much.
"Look again, Lao Zeng must have hidden more."
"Well, there must be."
Zhang Yi felt that what Dai Moli said made sense, so he walked to the shrine and started rummaging around.
He tried to pick up the photo in the shrine.
But the moment his hand touched the photo.
A hot burning sensation suddenly arose in my chest.
"Again?"
Zhang Yi instinctively wanted to throw away the photo, but it was too late, as his vision went dark.
Following his gaze, it began to rise higher and higher, as if from a God's perspective.
His sight passed through the concrete wall and appeared in mid-air. In the blink of an eye, the entire city of L was completely displayed in front of him.
The setting sun is slowly setting in the distance, and dusk is soaking the outline of the earth like twilight water.
The street lights on some roads lit up like giant dragons.
The world has never been so clear before me.
Zhang Yi felt like an immortal in a novel. Wherever he looked, he could clearly see passers-by walking on the ground.
But in addition, Zhang Yi also noticed that there would be some ghost figures wandering in some shadowy places.
Unexpectedly, the shrine in the store also has such a function.
Since coming back last night, Zhang Yi has actually considered whether to find an opportunity to smash the shrine directly.
What if there is something else hidden in the shrine that can give me new abilities?
But now it seems that the role of this shrine can still be retained.
After a while, darkness began to cover the land.
At the moment when yin and yang met, Zhang Yi suddenly noticed that there were several strange places in L City.
In the university town on the eastern outskirts, a huge shadow shrouded the area.
There seems to be a hotel in the north as well.
The yin energy in these two places seems to be particularly strong. The other places are covered by city lights. If you don't look carefully, you can't even see the difference.
Zhang Yi silently watched these special places and roughly wrote down their locations.
From now on, I’d better walk around these places as much as possible.
Although he had money in his hands, these places always made him feel a little uneasy.
Especially the university town to the east. When Zhang Yi looked in that direction, a very strange feeling came over him, as if a pair of eyes were looking at him in the dark.
God's perspective did not last long, and after a while his vision began to fade.
When his eyes began to fall from the sky and focused on the black and white photo, his whole body couldn't help but shudder.
"What's wrong with you? You suddenly stopped moving?"
Dai Moli asked, pushing his shoulder.
"It's okay. This thing has some use. I'll think about it later."
Zhang Yi put the photos away again. Before he understood the true function of these shrines, he would not throw them into the trash can yet.
The two continued to search, but they gave up after finding no other money.
"Old Zeng must still be hiding something. I'll try again next time I have a chance to see if I can get it out."
Zhang Yi became more and more sure that Uncle Zeng must know a lot of inside information, but the other party didn't want to tell him, and he had nothing to do.
and……
Zhang Yi looked at Dai Moli beside him. He didn't think that he and Dai Moli alone could force Uncle Zeng to speak.
While it was still early, Zhang Yi ordered a takeaway and lit incense candles for Dai Moli.
Maybe it's because she's been consuming a lot recently, but Dai Moli can eat all the incense herself.
Zhang Yi was very happy about this, and finally didn’t have to waste it anymore.
I picked up the account book and began to sit aside and study it.
Now that he has a huge sum of money in his hands and his waist has become stronger, he needs to study the props above carefully.
"jingle!"
At this time, the door was pushed open.
Zhang Yi originally thought that the customer who came to his door today would be Zhuang Ning, a regular customer.
Bu Cheng wanted to look up and saw that it was Wu Jie.
"Officer Wu!"
Zhang Yi's eyes lit up and he took the initiative to greet me: "It's so late, do you still want to come and give me the bonus?"
Wu Jie's mouth twitched a few times, realizing that this guy was more obsessed with money than he thought.
"I haven't replied yet about the bonus." Wu Jie said and looked at Dai Moli, making sure that Dai Moli was dressed normally before looking away.
"Besides, I'm off work and not wearing uniform. You can just call me Wu Jie or Lao Wu."
Wu Jie sat on the massage chair: "I heard that the massage in your store is very good. I want to try it too."
"no problem."
Zhang Yi had a very good impression of Wu Jie, at least last time he offered to drive him back.
Dai Moli walked upstairs and prepared a new basin of ice beads. After signaling Wu Jie to relax, she helped Wu Jie seal his collar with a towel and put a scarf on him to prevent the ice beads from melting and staining his clothes.
"Da da da da..."
A handful of ice beads as big as beans sprinkled down his forehead. Even though Wu Jie was prepared, he couldn't help but let out a long breath, and his irritable mood suddenly calmed down.
"Brother Angkor, what is that guy doing last time now?"
While idle, Zhang Yi casually asked about Wang Jie.
"It's difficult, let's wait for the identification results."
"oh."
Zhang Yi was not surprised by this result.
He just asked casually and didn't really care. After all, Wang Jie's soul had been taken away by Mrs. Qing and the others. God knows what kind of revenge this guy is facing now.
As for Wang Jie's body, only his weak remnant soul is inside.
It doesn't matter whether you die or not.
The punishment is handed over to the evil spirits, and justice is left to the world, the best of both worlds.
At this time, Wu Jie opened his eyes and carefully looked at Dai Moli's face in front of him: "Hey, you look like the same person."
