"Ha~"
Bai Ling drank all the liquor in the glass in one gulp and made an extremely cheerful voice.
The wine cup fell on the table with a crisp sound. She lazily propped her cheek, and shook the empty wine cup towards Qingming very skillfully: "Come and come again!"
Isn't it the first time we met? Behave yourself!
The transparent wine was poured into the wine cup from the decanter. While Jia Qingming was pouring the wine, Bai Ling directly copied the chopsticks and stood up, picking out thin slices of lamb from the tumbling hot saucepan and dipping it in In the seasoning bowl, after immersing it in the layered mixed dip for a while, it was put in the mouth.
In the small white porcelain bowl with small blue and white flowers, the upper layer is golden sesame oil floating with green onion and the dark oil sinks at the bottom of the small bowl.
According to Miss Bai Ling, this is the most standard dip for Sichuan hot pot.
The sound of thunder and the drizzle caused by the wind entered the house, and slightly rushed into the hot choking air, and made Jia Qingming feel better, at least the air was not so choking.
"Spicy hot pot is the best match for this weather!"
Bai Ling, who was eating the food, was totally different from what he had first seen.
She even changed her previous wide-sleeved Hanfu into very modern purple pajamas, revealing a pair of long white legs from the hem. The material was actually fluffy rayon, and a pair of sleeves were rolled up to facilitate eating.
Bai Ling's appearance is a beauty with some classic charm, but if it is matched with modern clothes, there is nothing unnatural at all.
Just because Jia Qingming had seen her before, so now he feels an indescribable sense of violation.
"Yeah, it's great to match with white wine." Xiao Hei held the bottle, although he still looked like a stranger, but his cheeks were already blushed because of the wine, and the top of her head was even still on her. A pair of erect cat ears suddenly appeared.
Xiaobai was very quiet. She lowered her head and kept eating. After a while, she finally raised her head, and the corners of her mouth covered with peppers and rice were filled with an incredibly sunny smile. She handed the empty bowl to Qingming, her eyes flashing. Xingxing, thinking that her original form was that big white dog, Jia Qingming had no doubt that she would be excitedly wagging her tail and said, "One more bowl!"
The three foodies constitute an incomparably harmonious and beautiful picture, except for Qingming who is in despair in the middle.
In fact, cooking or something is not difficult for him, and tonight I ate hot pot, so I only need to process the ingredients a little bit. Jia Qingming’s knife skills are not bad. As an orphan, he has lived alone since he was a child and often needs to work. He has long experienced good cooking skills. He has to cut lamb into thin slices of delicate work. It is not difficult.
But the red food in Sichuan hot pot is so spicy that he can't put his mouth on it. It is so spicy that there is nothing to relieve it. Drinking white wine is like adding fuel to the fire.
This situation is nothing short of despair.
"Huh~" Bai Ling ate a full meal and exhaled comfortably. "Anyway, to the arrival of Mr. Qingming, a toast!" She toasted again, the other two foodies and the desperate Jia Qingming raised their glasses together, the cups collided, and then each drank the remaining glasses.
Qingming grinned so hotly.
"If you have any desires, any incidents that need to be dealt with urgently, you can come to Stole Heaven Pavilion. No. 221 Shell Road. If you have been here, you will know the way, just as you just walked back naturally from the supermarket. Encounter anything Trouble, as long as you come here to pay the corresponding price, your wish will come true." When Bai Ling said this, it seemed like a clever clerk was selling insurance.
"Then... can I make a wish now?" Jia Qingming looked at her and asked.
Bai Ling closed her eyes slightly, and when she opened her eyes again, it seemed as if everything was clear to her chest. "I heard Mr. Qingming's wish. Do you want to let me seal the eyes of the sky for you?"
"Correct."
"It's a pity that I can't do things like sealing the eyes of the sky-the price of achieving this wish is far beyond what people can afford. The jade bracelet on Mr. Qingming's wrist is a rare treasure. But it only sealed it for nine years for you. It was the eyes of the sky that chose you, and heaven is hard to reverse, but I want to know why Mr. Qingming wants to escape this fate so much?"
The memory suddenly looked back, Qingming felt her headache, those distant things, things that have long been eroded by time, like a school of dead fish, emerged from the depths of the memory.
"I know that Mr. Qingming has encountered a lot of strange things recently, so surely you don't want to be harassed again? People who are invisible may only feel strange and uncomfortable when they encounter such things, but... if you, the people can see the ghosts.. cannot ignore them."
"Yes... I saw... the ghost in the temple..."
Lightning illuminates the room.
"Miss Bai Ling...Can you help solve this problem?"
Bai Ling chuckled lightly, with a sly light in his eyes. "Such a small problem, of course, I can handle it, but... it comes at a price!"
"What price?"
"It doesn't matter, it won't be a lot. I don't need to take anything from Qingming's body, neither the soul to the fresh..." Bai Ling smiled faintly and licked her lips with the tip of her tongue.
"Mr. Qingming can just stay here to work until the price is paid."
As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai both smile.
Hey, you guys are obviously lacking a servant who cooks, right? But... But such a price is not unacceptable. It's not a high price, so he doesn't hate it. He has worked a lot since he was a child, but this is the first time he has seen this reason for part-time work.
"Then I think about it first."
"But the deal has been concluded."
"Hey! It's coercive trade!"
"But Mr. Qingming has agreed in his heart. From the approval of the soul, the transaction has just been concluded." Bai Ling smiled slightly, half-covering his mouth.
Bai Ling stretched out, covered his mouth, and yawned, looking lazy. "Then Qingming, I'll leave it to you to clean up the table."
It's almost as if she was an irresponsible boss.
Besides, did she save the honorific after he was hired?
"Hey! If the deal is concluded, should you help deal with it?"
"Ah, that's right." Bai Ling's' face lit up with surprise
"Then, Xiao Hei, I beg you tonight, and follow Qingming to his residence to investigate."
"Okay." The answer was neat.
"I want to go too." Xiaobai leaned forward, and the girl had big eyes pitifully, very lethal.
"Since you messed up things last time, don't leave a bad impression on Qingming for the first time."
I have clearly had a very bad impression of you! All!
Qingming complained in mind, while quietly tidying up the messy cups and dishes on the table.
When he finally walked out of the Thieving Pavilion, the thunderstorm still hadn't stopped, and it was a posture for the whole night.
Xiao Hei lay down in his school bag in the form of that little black cat, only half of her body exposed from the top of the school bag, making a lovely meow, as if she was a cute p***y.
But in Jia Qingming's eyes, it's a totally different picture.
The black cat completely stepped on his shoulders with those two front paws, and then yelled arrogantly:
"Hold the umbrella back! Didn't you hear me, don't get me wet!"
"I see!" Jia Qingming said angrily and walked forward.

"Here is the temple I met the ghost."
Jia Qingming pointed out the ancient temple shrouded by night to Xiao Hei. The temple stood alone on the mountain, surrounded by no other buildings, and the courtyard was covered with weeds.
The original wall has been demolished, and only a few pieces of remnants are wrapped in wall-climbing plants, which seems to be a figure standing in the dark on a rainy night.
At this moment, this scene reminded him of the unspeakable sense of anxiety when the students who were sent by the student union to pick up freshmen were arranged to live here last night.
Under the electric light that illuminates the fields from time to time, these ancient abandoned buildings are like a giant beast hiding in the dark, waiting to be devoured by curious intruders. The gust of wind passed through the dilapidated walls and the holes in the door panels and windows, making whimpers, mixing with the sound of rain and thunder into a weird symphony.
It was almost a matter of writing "Haunted" on the wall with a large pen.
The student union member who picked him up here only gave a brief confession and left in a hurry, completely unwilling to stay here for a long time, leaving him alone in the rainy night, ghost house, and cold wind messy.
"Is there a problem, this place?" Jia Qingming stood still and asked Xiao Hei after a while so that she had time to "perceive" it.
No respond.
"Xiao Hei?"
For a while, Qingming thought that he had entered an "inside world" that was isolated from the rest of the world, just like a common scene in horror movies, until he heard a small snoring sound from his shoulder.
She fell asleep!
"Hey! Wake up!"
Jia Qingming picked up Xiao Hei for a while.
"Hey! What are you kid doing! Let me go down!"
Xiao Hei struggled a few times and jumped out of Qingming's hands and turned into a girl in a long black windbreaker. She was also fully equipped. He took out a big black umbrella from there and held it up, as if isolated from the umbrella. A world.
Her beautiful eyebrows were raised, making her eyebrows sharp as swords. Xiao Hei's majestic appearance almost made Qingming forget that she was an i***t who was holding the bottle while drinking.
"You rude stinky kid! Also, you must call me 'senior' from now on, have you heard?"
The word "senior" is only used in Japanese dramas, right? Qingming complained in mind.
She murmured unhappily, but then, on that heroic face, the expression was slightly stern, as if she felt something.
"There really is something wrong with this place."
