"Mountain Ghost" came from "Chu Ci: Nine Songs". In essence, it was a sacrificial song for the mountain ghost. From this point of view, as an ancient legend, the mountain ghost could be said to have a long history.
But the problem was …
"Isn't she a woman!" Huai Shi widened his eyes.
"Young man, don't generalize." Crow sighed helplessly. "You can't assume that all mountain ghosts are women just because one person wrote that the mountain ghost is a woman, right?"
After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but mutter, "Although it does take up a large part of it …"
"You already said that it takes up a large part of it!"
Huai Shi widened his eyes and took out his phone to point at the text. "And no matter how you look at it, the mountain ghost should be a kind of god, right? Isn't the lowest level of this kind of sacred mark at the fifth level? "
"The City God is also a god. Do you think that in the eyes of those guys above, they would treat the City God as a human?"
Crow sneered. "I already said, don't generalize. Although in terms of origin, the mountain ghost is indeed endowed with divinity, it is only a demigod with divine blood and a natural soul. But the former is an intern with strong competition, and the latter is simply a temporary worker. Although it is true that the status is noble, at best, it is only at the level of a mountain god.
Moreover, most of the time, the mountain ghost refers to the monsters and ghosts in the mountains, not limited to men and women. So, what are you thinking? Are you a crossdressing boss? "
After listening to her explanation, Huai Shi felt that something was not quite right. But recently, this guy's ability to talk nonsense had improved too quickly, and he couldn't keep up. He could only say that the devil was ten times stronger than the devil. This woman was simply too evil …
Seeing that Huai Shi was frightened, Crow whistled proudly, spread her wings, and flew into the living room. She asked loudly, "Old Fang? Old Fang? What are we eating tonight? Do you still have the big lobsters from the day before? Give me two more … "
"Nonsense! You still want to eat lobsters?! Where would I have the money to buy lobsters? "
Hearing her mention this, Huai Shi thought of his empty bank balance and suddenly became furious. "Tonight, I'll cook for you personally. I'll make you a bowl of 'Prodigal Woman'. I've spent all my money and can only eat instant noodles for you. How about that?"
As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen, ready to show off the dark cooking skills he had painstakingly honed. However, he was chased out by Fang Shu, who was fuming with rage.
This was the first time.
"Young Master, the kitchen is a place that brings happiness and joy to people. It doesn't matter if it's a little messy outside, but please don't bring those crooked things home!"
Old Fang's expression was solemn and serious, and his usual good temper was nowhere to be seen.
This was the first time he had expressed his protest and displeasure at Huai Shi's absurd behavior.
Huai Shi immediately cowered and shrunk his neck to receive the scolding. Crow nodded proudly on the side, "Yes, yes, yes, that's right … Old Fang, teach him well! Children are always learning bad things, just give them a beating … "
"Also, Miss Crow!"
Old Fang raised his eyebrows and glared at them, "Next time, please don't take the ingredients I marinated in advance to go with wine, and please don't instigate the young master to participate in such vulgar activities again! Otherwise, I will have to reduce your snack quota. "
"Is this all my fault?! I'm so innocent … "
Crow blinked innocently and was about to say something, but she couldn't help but look away under Fang Shu's gaze. She shrugged guiltily, "I'll be careful next time, okay?"
Seeing that the two of them had made a promise, Fang Shu nodded with satisfaction and didn't say much. He turned around and brought out today's dinner from the kitchen.
"Today, I stewed hot and sour shrimp soup, made taco with the leftover chicken from yesterday, and served it with cheese and baked potato skins. The main dish is the Aztec-style pan-fried sole fish that I just learned … with a little champagne, it's best to have a moderate amount."
Uncle Fang took out two goblets and poured some for them. He sighed and said, "I have to say that the American diet is quite good, especially this hummus. It's really amazing."
"Old Fang, are you an angel?"
Crow looked at the table full of high-calorie food and was so moved that she almost shed tears.
"It's just a hobby. Please enjoy your meal."
Old Fang took two steps back and smiled with satisfaction as he watched the two of them eat. He turned around and went back to the kitchen to clean up the tableware.
After staying in the cellar for a whole day, Huai Shi was about to go crazy with hunger, but Crow was even faster. She opened her mouth wide like a bottomless pit and gobbled up more than half of the food. She even ordered Huai Shi to help her carry the food that she couldn't reach.
Huai Shi looked at her with annoyance and put the sole fish in front of her, "Eat, this is my meat."
Then he picked up the champagne and put it next to her, "Drink, this is my blood."
Crow froze for a moment and subconsciously looked at the cream in Huai Shi's hand.
Huai Shi was silent for a long time and suddenly wanted to bang his head against the wall.
With such an unreliable contractor, he probably couldn't count on it for the rest of his life!
When he thought of the more than ten million that he flew out with wings, his heart bled.
That was more than ten million!
It was more than ten million that he could earn by playing the violin for more than a thousand years!
In the end, he had just received the money and had not even warmed it up. He had only used it to purchase a monthly mobile game card. He did not even have the time to indulge in extravagance before it was gone!
Gone!
It turned into a mess of equipment and a few broken books that were completely used to pay protection fees.
His heart was about to break.
Last time when he joined the Salvation Society, the game console that Shen Yue promised him had just arrived and he didn't have time to buy the game! It was all gone!
"My money …"
Huai Shi put down his knife and fork and looked at the empty plates on the table. They were just like his bank account and he couldn't help but tear up.
Leon, is life always so painful, or is it only like this in childhood?
"Ah, about the money, young master, don't worry."
Old Fang, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, suddenly popped his head out and took off his gloves to comfort him.
"Huh?" Huai Shi turned back in surprise.
"It's a long story."
After pondering for a moment, Uncle Fang explained, "In addition to the Huai Shipping Company, the old master also mortgaged all of his pioneering equipment and achievements before he passed away and entrusted the dwarves of the Magic Gold Bank to operate and invest on his behalf.
Although Huai Shipping is no longer around, I have re-confirmed this part of the border assets after consulting a few days ago. "
Speaking of this, Fang Shu suddenly felt a little regretful, "Although the value has shrunk a lot due to inflation and other reasons, in addition to the undue principal that can't be withdrawn, the fixed dividends over the years have accumulated to about forty million US dollars."
"What!"
Huai Shi almost jumped up, "Four thousand? Ten thousand? "
"I have applied for it in your name, young master, but according to the old master's will, before the official heir reaches adulthood, only six percent of the working capital can be used annually."
As he spoke, he carefully took out a black card from his pocket and placed it in front of Huai Shi, "Excluding the fixed daily living expenses and necessary expenses such as the maintenance and operation of the chalcedony hall, a total of 1.4 million US dollars."
"One hundred and forty? Ten thousand? US dollars? "
Huai Shi lowered his head and stared blankly at the card with the unfamiliar bank logo in front of him. His mouth couldn't close. When he thought of the forty million US dollars waiting for him when he turned eighteen next year.
Moreover, when the contract expired, there was an even more terrifying amount of principal …
He suddenly felt that the world had become strange.
It was unbelievable.
"This is …"
Huai Shi raised his head and held Fang Shu's hand. He couldn't help but cry, "Is this for me?"
"Yes."
Fang Shu smiled and nodded. Then he reached out and patted the Crow's wing that quietly reached over from the side, pushing the black hand that coveted his young master's property to the side.
"I … I …"
Huai Shi stared blankly at the card and only felt dizzy.
He suddenly became a pauper and then became a rich man at the speed of light.
The ups and downs of life were too fast. He was a bit carsick.
Although his heart was surging with endless cries, in the end, Huai Shi couldn't help but swallow. He reached out and returned the card to Fang Shu, "You … keep it for me."
He was scared.
He wasn't afraid of spending it recklessly. He was afraid that before he could spend it all, a shameless woman would spend it all … He had to plan carefully how to spend the 1.4 million US dollars.
Fang Shu didn't refuse anymore. He carefully put away the black card and nodded, "If you need anything, you can call me at any time."
"I'm going to take a break … take a break …"
With a foolish smile on her face, Huai Shi struggled to get up. She wobbled back to her room as if she was floating.
"Silly kid, he's used to being poor."
Crow landed on Fang Shu's shoulder and sighed helplessly, "I bet he's wondering if he should get another monthly card."
"Frugality is a virtue."
Old Fang calmly defended his young master, as always.
"There are so many virtues in the world, but how many can really make people happy?"
Crow shook his head and sighed. He raised his wings and rested them on Old Fang's shoulder as if he was putting his arm around his shoulder. He took out his phone and showed it to him. "Old Fang, look at this. This is a professional clean workbench from the Cavendish Workshop …"
"This wasn't in the budget, Ms. Crow."
Old Fang casually pressed down her wings that quietly reached into his pocket and said seriously, "Besides, this is the young master's property. I suggest you discuss it with the young master."
Crow stared at Old Fang with her watery eyes. Old Fang's expression was calm and unmoved.
She sighed dejectedly. "Alright, alright, I'll try my best to persuade him … Every time I spend a little money, it's like I'm killing him. I bet his mind must be filled with thoughts of how to get his monthly card …"
"I'm sorry I can't help you, but I've prepared another gift for you."
With that, Fang Shu bent down, opened the drawer, and took out a small wool vest from between the knitting needles and a few balls of wool. He carefully picked it up with both hands and handed it to Crow.
It was a pure white vest with cashmere inside and a Crow's head embroidered vividly on the back.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh." Fang Shu was a little embarrassed, "It's getting cold recently, and I can't buy clothes for you on the market, so I made it myself …"
"Old Fang …"
Crow held the vest for a long time and was moved to tears, "You're really an angel, right?"
"It's just a small hobby."
The old butler smiled as usual and watched Crow leave.
After a long time, he turned around and curiously looked at the game console in the living room. His expression became serious.
As if he was facing a great enemy.
"Games? I don't understand … Are they fun? "
He scratched his mottled white hair and took out his phone. He somewhat awkwardly searched for related products, but in the end, his eyes were dazzled.
"Are these … all of them in stock?"
"All of them are in stock, dear." The store's reply was quite fast.
Fang Shu frowned in distress. Finally, he picked out all the games with naked women on the cover, "This, this, and this …"
"Except for these," he said, "I want all of them. Give me the deluxe version."
"…"
On the other side of the screen, the dull seller's head was filled with countless question marks.
