My old lady, who belongs to the military, is in much better health than I thought. Maybe it’s because of the warmer weather, or maybe it’s because I have expectations in my heart.
She told Chujiu in sign language that she would stand on the balcony and look downstairs in the past few days, guessing that we would come here in the next few days.
When I was making tea for her on the ninth day of the lunar month, I secretly broke half of the pills given by Ivan Qiao and threw them into the water glass. When we left, the right half of the face of the old military woman who had been paralyzed for many years had a slight expression.
At the farmer's wholesale market, the owner of the sacrificial product shop handed over the "equipment" to us as promised, and I paid the balance in one lump sum.
Out of our trust in him, the shop owner helped us deliver the "equipment" to Qinglong Temple in his own van.
I asked on the ninth day of the lunar month if only Qinglong Temple could be used as a place of worship for Jinger to pass these sacrifices?
Chujiu tilted his head and thought for a while and told me that many open fields can be used as places to practice Taoism. However, Qinglong Temple is a practice place for Master Adyadhara to chant sutras and recite Buddha's name. Everything around the temple is blessed by the power of Buddha.
, can save a lot of trouble, even if there are some minor troubles, he can easily deal with them.
This time on the ninth day of the lunar month, I cast a spell to deliver the sacrifices, which was very easy and smooth. Except for a slight tornado, there was no obstruction by the similar demarcation rules as last time.
Chujiu explained that the main reason was that Jing'er became the underworld in the underworld. As long as the sacrifice passed through the dividing line of the yang world and reached the underworld, Jing'er was taking her own things.
While waiting for the bus, the text on the pager screen begins to fade. This is a sign of low battery.
The pager Uncle Ding gave me is good, but it consumes too much power. The most expensive battery can only last half a month.
I bought a battery for two yuan at a nearby store and just replaced it when I received a paging message: Call me back soon, 010-0516****, Wanli.
Wan Li specifically provided a phone number, which was not a department contact number that I was familiar with.
I checked that the bus wouldn't be coming for a while, so I called Wanli back at the public phone booth next to the canteen.
"Haha, Qin Feng, what do you think I want from you?"
Wan Li heard my voice and marveled at my inhuman efficiency. As soon as I hung up the phone and left a message at the paging console, I came back.
"We have a mission. Should we go to Shanxi or Shaanxi? There should be three or four days left, right?"
The person on the other end of the phone was stunned for a long time. It wasn't until I told him that this was a public phone and that he had to pay for it that Wan Li smiled awkwardly and said that if he hadn't known me and Chujiu, he would have suspected that we were spies from another country and had installed a system on him.
Beautiful high-tech monitor.
Sure enough, as my hexagram results from the day before, Chujiu and I have a new mission, and we need to go to a village below Yuncheng, Shanxi.
I suddenly realized that Yuncheng is Zhang Feng’s hometown. No wonder my right eye jumped when Zhiyong mentioned Zhang Feng yesterday.
Still not good at learning, the position in the hexagram can only be determined to be Shanxi or Shaanxi. In fact, if you use your brain a little bit, you can exclude Shaanxi.
"Master Wanli, are you brave? Will you come to meet us? Oh, let's do it this way, oh, hang up then, call us and ask for money."
Chujiu, who was originally standing at the bus stop, ran to me at some point. Hearing the call on the other end, Wan Li, grabbed the phone from my hand. In less than a minute, his expression changed from excitement to despair.
The initial positioning of the mission was only A level. What Mr. Xu meant was that Chujiu and I had just returned from Yunnan, and we didn’t want us to be too tired to make another trip. We wanted to find other people near the area to handle it on our behalf.
Wan Li raised objections. Shanxi originally belonged to the area under my grandfather's jurisdiction. It would not be good to let others handle it. Although the A-level tasks did not have much subsidy, they still had some merits.
It is very important for Chujiu and I to accumulate more merits. After the status level of the department is improved, there are only advantages and no disadvantages.
Mr. Xu smiled when he saw Wan Li objecting to his opinion for the first time in more than three years, and congratulated Wan Li for finally opening his heart and accepting new friends.
Only then did Wan Li realize that after his best comrade was killed in battle, no one had truly entered his heart.
Wan Li accepted Mr. Xu's suggestion and asked what we meant first. Unexpectedly, I guessed it before we even spoke.
The departure time was set for three days later. Wan Li bought sleeper tickets for us through the department. We could go directly to the train station with our ID cards and take the train.
Since it was only an A-level mission and Wan Li could not participate in it together, Chujiu and I could only do it alone. This was also the reason why Chujiu was disappointed. We had only been apart for one day and already missed Wan Li.
The mission information Wanli has been sent by mail. We need to go to a post office to pick it up after arriving in Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province.
Originally, Wan Li was worried that we would hesitate and was ready to persuade us, but it turned out that I was already prepared.
"Guo Guo, let's walk back to school. It's not like we haven't walked there before. The bus hasn't come here in half an hour. I can add two eggs with the two dollars I saved."
As soon as we left the bus stop and walked to the asphalt road leading to the school, Chujiu glanced back unconsciously and cursed.
An orange bus slowly drove into the bus stop. At this time, it was definitely too late for us to run back to the stop.
I laughed and laughed at Chujiu for making another wrong decision. Chujiu, who had walked for a long time with his head down and blushing, suddenly looked up and asked me if I knew what Murphy's Law was?
Murphy's Law is a psychological effect proposed by Edward Murphy, an American engineer, in 1949. It is also known as Murphy's Law and Murphy's Theorem.
The original text is: If there are two or more ways to do something, and one of the choices will lead to disaster, then someone will make this choice.
Although this sentence sounds a bit obscure and difficult to understand, there are shadows of this law everywhere in life. We have encountered many scenes that fall under Murphy's Law.
There was something urgent, so I got up early and went to wait for the bus, but the bus didn't come.
Normally, when nothing happens, buses come one after another. Or I smoke a cigarette while waiting for the bus. I just light it and take a puff, and the bus comes.
When we are queuing up, if there are two lines, and you see that the line next to you seems to be moving faster, you can switch over.
But if you switch over, you will be distressed to find that the team slows down for no reason.
Then at this time you will find that the original team seems to be moving faster.
There are also some scenes where I feel that when I was in school, I knew that I was going to study poetry, but even though I knew it by heart, I would never take the exam.
You will definitely be able to take the test if you haven't memorized it. There are even many questions to take the test, but you feel like you haven't learned them at all.
The person you don't like, she likes you. But the strange thing is, the person you like, she has to like another person.
If you don’t wash the car, it won’t rain. Once you wash the car, it will rain. This is really more accurate than the weather forecast.
When your car is dirty, you will never encounter a sprinkler truck, but as soon as you drive out of the car wash shop after washing your car, the sprinkler truck comes with its cheerful music, and you can only curse that the car was washed in vain again.
In fact, these scenarios are what Murphy's Law calls low-probability events that are always ignored.
