Chapter 11: Xuanshan (Part 3)
Lu Ren successfully formed a blood pact with Jun Fang.
When Lu Ren borrowed the mirror, he explained the whole story to Si Yuan. Si Yuan seemed to be silent for a long time after listening, so long that Lu Ren thought he had borrowed something extraordinary.
But after Si Yuan thought for a while, he just said: "It's been too long, I don't remember where I put the Taixu Mirror, I'll go back and find it and bring it to you."
"It seems to be just a backlog of inventory, it shouldn't be too important." Lu Ren secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then he glanced at Si Yuan and thought, "The director usually looks meticulous, but I didn't expect he is also a person who throws things around." It was just a boring thought, and Lu Ren threw it out of his mind in a blink of an eye. Si Yuan was afraid that Lu Ren would not understand, so he kindly introduced the precautions of the blood contract to him in detail.
Lu Ren was humble and eager to learn. He quietly followed Si Yuan's explanation and wrote down the steps of making a blood covenant. He even took notes diligently in a promotional notebook that he had bought for 3.5 yuan during a supermarket sale not long ago.
After that, the process of forming the contract went unexpectedly smoothly, but Lu Ren thought that if a blood contract was formed, then he and Jun Fang would be in an employer-employee relationship in the future.
Junfang is a zombie, he is a human, the blood contract is like a labor contract in the non-human world, although it conforms to the behavioral norms of non-humans, but for the human Lu Ren, isn't this illegal employment by a black-hearted boss? Lu Ren thought about it and decided to draft a labor employment contract. The contract clearly defines the responsibilities and obligations of both parties.
Lu Ren’s responsibilities were very clear. He only needed to take Jun Fang to the mountain to sweep the graves every year.
Junfang said that he didn't have any special skills, but he was born strong, so he decided to be responsible for protecting Lu Ren's safety in the future.
In his own words: "Although I'm not very smart, I've basically never lost a fight."
Lu Ren thought about it and felt that he couldn't take advantage of Jun Fang like this, so he said, "If you protect me every day and I only take you out once a year, wouldn't I be taking advantage of you?"
Junfang scratched his empty head and came up with an idea: "Why don't you bring some delicious food from outside every month? I've been seeing humans posting videos of themselves eating all kinds of delicious food online recently . They're bullying me because I can't go out. I'm so angry that I'm hungry." As he spoke, tears flowed from the corners of Junfang's mouth.
Lu Ren couldn't help laughing.
Finally, the two sides agreed that the monthly reward would be for Lu Ren to bring back a piece of raw meat for Jun Fang to satisfy his craving.
The two sides had a friendly meeting and reached an agreement readily. Lu Ren signed the contract, and Jun Fang, who could not write, pressed a bright red fingerprint.
The contract came into effect. We plan to visit the tombs at Xuanshan after get off work on July 14.
However, before leaving, Lu Ren still needed to take Jun Fang to ask for leave from the logistics team leader, Yu Shi. After all, Jun Fang was theoretically a permanent employee of the Immigrant Household Registration Bureau, and his working hours were 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If he left without saying anything, it would be considered absenteeism, although Lu Ren didn't know whether Jun Fang's salary could be deducted.
…
"That's it."
After hearing the reason for the leave, Master Yu looked at the two honest people in front of him in surprise: "Did you really make a blood pact?" Then he raised his eyebrows at Jun Fang inconspicuously: "So, you will be at Lu Ren's command in the future?"
Junfang nodded naively.
Lu Ren noticed Yu Shi's hesitation, so he asked uncertainly, "The Investigation Bureau won't stop employees from doing part-time jobs, right?"
Master Yu chuckled and shook his head slightly: "There is no such saying."
Then he waved his hand and readily approved Junfang's leave.
So, on the night of July 14, Lu Ren, a young man who had barely completed compulsory education, drove his electric scooter and took his friend Jun Fang, a zombie who had lived for who knows how many hundreds of years, to Xuanshan, a famous funeral resort in the city.
Originally, we didn't have to go until the evening, but it was particularly unfortunate that day. When the investigation bureau was about to get off work, a restless person came, and Junfang was borrowed to help. By the time they finished, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
Lu Ren was not sure how restless the restless person was. He walked through the employee passage after get off work and did not have to go through the service hall. But the noise in the service hall was really loud, and it sounded like they were going to demolish the house. Lu Ren stopped and looked around for a while after hearing it in the employee passage.
Just then, I saw Junfang pushing the door with blood all over his body, and saw Lu Ren walking towards me in high spirits: "Ah Ren! It's great that you haven't left yet. I was afraid that I wouldn't have enough time to tell you."
Jun Fang's body was covered with blood spots, pale skin with sharp black nails, and a Taoist talisman with red characters on a yellow background covered the upper half of his face. Only his lips and chin with good contours could be vaguely seen. In sharp contrast to Jun Fang's brutal appearance was his smile, which could even be called kind. Coupled with the less than ideal lighting in the corridor of the Investigation Bureau and the slightly dim incandescent light, the visual impact was perfect.
It's the kind of visual impact that can be used as the cover of a horror movie right away.
Lu Ren was already used to this. He almost ignored the scene in front of him that would give ordinary people a heart attack: "What's wrong?"
Jun Fang said embarrassedly: "A fool who raised a mermaid privately just came and was eaten by a mermaid. I have to help put him back together. It may be a little late today."
Lu Ren didn't know that Jun Fang actually had this ability: "Can you also spell the human body?"
Jun Fang said, "It's not a human, but it's almost the same, because each part of the meat emits a different smell. I know where to put it as soon as I smell it. But I get hungry if I smell it for too long."
Lu Ren exclaimed: "Then I'll pick you up at the Investigation Bureau after dinner. You go ahead and do your thing."
"Okay."
Junfang hurried back and forth again, muttering as he ran: "It was so hard to cut the fish open, I have to see if the mountain spider can sew it fast enough. If it's too slow, the fish can't be saved, I can still make sashimi while it's fresh." He quickened his pace and said, "Add more dishes to dinner!"
Lu Ren rode his electric scooter back home first. After dinner, he charged the electric scooter before waiting for Junfang at the door of the Investigation Bureau. He was well prepared and brought a baseball cap and a jacket for Junfang when he came.
When Junfang came out, he asked him to put on his hat and coat first.
It was dark at this time, and the street lights were not very bright. No passerby would pay too much attention to the long-haired man sitting on the back seat of an electric bike on the path.
Therefore, even though Jun Fang was wearing strange clothes, he did not attract any unnecessary attention along the way.
Who would have thought that when Lu Ren and Jun Fang went up the mountain, they discovered that Xuanshan was surprisingly lively tonight.
