"This statement is too cliche. Didn't those MLM organizations always say this when they deceived people in the early years? Can anyone believe this?" Su Ran only found it a bit funny. This deceptive statement is really too despicable. .
"For those of us who are younger, we naturally don't believe it, but the dean and other elderly people are already feudal and superstitious. Coupled with the miracle that night, they are even more convinced of the words of the Tianyu Sect. No doubt, no one will bother about these children anymore.
Although the dean no longer cares about it, I can't just watch these children being led into hell step by step by this cult.
But the miracles I saw that night were so realistic that I couldn’t tell whether the figure that appeared was God. If it was really the so-called God, then why did God treat these children like this?
I really couldn't figure out these problems, so I had to go to some well-known Taoist and Buddhist masters in private. However, they had never heard of this so-called god of divination, so they began to sell me various kinds of products. Such a ghost exorcism package, these people are really unreliable.
That night I was worrying about these children, and while recalling my own childhood, I suddenly thought of the years we were in the hospital. If there was anyone I knew who could help me, I would I can only think of you.
Of course, can you tell what this is? "
"wait for me a while."
After listening to Fang Zhi's words, Su Ran seemed to remember something, signaled Fang Zhi and Xu Yan to wait for her in the room, and then went out to Zhang Ziqing's room next door.
Zhang Ziqing is not in the room. He should be at Fushan Cemetery at the moment, right? I don’t know how Li Zhihan’s funeral affairs are going.
Su Ran walked to Zhang Ziqing's bookshelf and after rummaging for a long time, she found a simple and thick green book.
Although Zhang Ziqing would not read these books for hundreds of years, they were still very clean and tidy without any wrinkles, as if they had just been printed.
Su Ran knew this was because the speed of time flowing in Zhang Ziqing's room was different from that in the outside world.
In Zhang Ziqing's room, less than a second had passed here after a whole day had passed outside. Therefore, except Su Ran, no one else had entered Zhang Ziqing's room.
Following the table of contents in the book, Su Ran quickly found what she wanted, and returned to her room with the book.
"We found it, Yin Cheng, the god of divination in the divine world." Su Ran put the book in front of Fang Zhi and Xu Yan, "Let's see if this is the miracle you saw that night."
Fang Zhi and Xu Yan came over to take a look, and soon Fang Zhi nodded, "Yes, that's him. The statue hanging in the office of the head of the Tianyu Sect is also him."
Su Ran nodded and carefully flipped through the information related to the God of Divination.
“Born from the Yin family, one of the top ten nobles in the God Realm, due to his extraordinary talent, his cultivation speed is several times that of ordinary people, and he quickly achieved the status of a god, and he is also a high-ranking god.
However, although he is the god of divination, the source of his divine power does not seem to be obtained through his own cultivation, but... drawn from human beings.
Therefore, the god of divination needs the respect and worship of humans. The greater the dedication of humans to him, the stronger his divine power will be.
According to historical records, the god of divination was seriously injured in a certain battle between the gods, and his body was beaten to pieces. After the war, there was no news from him again. He should have been recuperating. "
Su Ran closed the book and said softly: "If that's the case, then it is very likely that the God of Divination has been quietly developing his followers in the world over the years, hoping to restore his divine power as soon as possible.
But for some reason, he could not blatantly develop his power, so he could only collect faith in the world on his behalf through this religion called Tianyu Sect.
It's just why these children have such characters, this book didn't mention it. "
Fang Zhi was a little disappointed, "So, Yan Yan is hopeless?"
"Not really." Su Ran took out her phone, "I don't know much about these things, but I have a friend who is pretty good at it.
Let me take a photo of Yanyan's condition first, and then show it to my friend. "
Fang Zhi hesitated for a moment and asked softly: "Can I take Yan Yan directly to meet that friend of yours? Yan Yan's condition is such that I'm afraid she won't last long."
Su Ran looked at Xu Yan, who had a look of pain in his eyes, but was trying to pretend to be calm and didn't want Fang Zhi to worry, and felt a little distressed for a moment.
After all, we are all children from an orphanage, and we should take care of each other. In addition, as Fang Zhi mentioned before, Yan Yan's life experience is already so miserable, and this child is indeed suffering too much.
"Then you wait in my room first. My friend will take you to see him when he comes back soon."
Fang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "Thank you Ranran."
"Our previous relationship in the hospital, if you hadn't taken care of me in those years, I might have been depressed since I was a child. Say thank you." Su Ran waved her hand.
Fang Zhi shook his head and said: "There are some things that you should say thank you for, after all, we haven't seen each other for so many years.
If I hadn't found you this time, I really don't know what else I would have done with Yan Yan's situation.
Several children in the courtyard have died in their rooms without warning because of this inexplicable character. I don't want to end up like this. "
"Don't worry, there will be a way." Su Ran held Fang Zhi's hand and comforted softly.
Although the two had not seen each other for more than ten years, the Fang Zhi in front of her still made Su Ran seem to see the original little girl with twin tails in the courtyard, who was gentle, generous and kind-hearted.
I always think about how I can help the people around me, regardless of how much effort and cost I have to pay.
As the person she had redeemed, Su Ran had really experienced Fang Zhi's kindness firsthand, so she was willing to help Fang Zhi.
Otherwise, given that she had been influenced by Zhang Ziqing for so many years, she would have ignored the matter and ignored it.
As Zhang Ziqing said, there are so many people in this world who need help every day, and it is impossible to help them one by one.
Respecting the fate of others is a reasonable way to survive.
After calming down Fang Zhi and Xu Yan, Su Ran mixed two cups of milk for them. Xu Yan was still too young, and Fang Zhi was in a bad condition, so neither of them was suitable for drinking coffee.
After doing all this, Su Ran returned to the bar on the first floor, firstly to spend one more day with the high school students downstairs and see if there was anything he could do to help them.
Second, wait downstairs until Zhang Ziqing comes back and mention this matter to him first.
Su Ran didn't believe that the god of divination was a good thing. Although he didn't know what the string of characters behind Xu Yan was, when he reached out and touched it, he could vaguely feel that the string of characters was absorbing. Xu Yan's vitality.
I sat bored at the bar and dozed off. It was already past 11 noon after I finished chatting with Fang Zhi. If I just sat there for a while, it would be dinner time soon.
Su Ran originally thought about cooking a meal for Fang Zhi and Xu Yan herself at noon, but she hesitated when she did it.
After all, they haven't seen each other for so many years, and now they suddenly start cooking for others. It wouldn't be good if they scare them.
After much thought, Su Ran finally chose to ask the chef from Jiangning Hotel, the most expensive restaurant in the city, to come and cook a table of dishes. Although Su Ran didn't particularly like their restaurant, the more expensive the restaurant, the more attentive it is to entertain guests.
Although the food on this table was quite delicious, Fang Zhi had no appetite, and Xu Yan really wanted to eat it. She took a bite of every dish, but because of her health, she only took one bite and then another. After no more food was left, Su Ran distributed the remaining dishes to the high school students downstairs, as a treat to them before the college entrance examination.
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when Zhang Ziqing came back. As soon as he opened the door, the high school students in the store greeted him enthusiastically: "The boss is back!"
"Boss, boss, and the wife of the boss are all waiting for you behind the bar until they fall asleep."
"Boss, the lady boss said that if you don't come back, she will think that you have gone to find the mistress!"
Fortunately, Zhang Ziqing got used to their way of greeting him this way.
Although he was a little caught off guard on the first day, and reacted for a long time amidst the roars of laughter from Su Ran and the high school students, after a few days, Zhang Ziqing was now able to face their booing without changing his expression or heartbeat.
Zhang Ziqing waved his hand and said, "I'll treat you to milk tea later."
"Boss, you own a coffee shop yourself, and you treat us to drink milk tea from someone else's house. Isn't it a loss?" A boy said with a smile.
"Okay, then you can drink from our store." Zhang Ziqing's expression remained unchanged.
The boy quickly took a step back and said, "No, it's hard for me to evaluate Sister Ranran's craftsmanship."
Although Su Ran is the proprietress of the store, there was a clerk called Xie Xie in the store before, and then Chen Yihan came, so it was rare that Su Ran made coffee by herself, and her understanding of coffee before that was almost limited to Conceptually.
Until Chen Yihan left, Su Ran decided to practice it herself on a whim, otherwise others would always say that she, the proprietress of a coffee shop, couldn't make coffee.
As a result, it only took two days for the high school students in the store to no longer dare to order coffee. Only a few of Su Ran's fans and little fans could endure the unpleasant drinking to give Su Ran moral support.
Zhang Ziqing walked to the bar and looked behind the table. The sun at noon was too warm. Su Ran started to feel sleepy after eating and fell asleep on the table.
Zhang Ziqing walked gently to her side and sat down, then looked upstairs.
"Ah, you're back." Su Ran said while lying on the table and squinting her eyes.
"Did I wake you up?" Zhang Ziqing was stunned. His movements were obviously very light, and Su Ran was always very slow when sleeping, so logically he shouldn't wake up.
Su Ran took off the headphones that were covered by her hair, "I'm not asleep yet. I'm waiting for you to come back."
"Because of those two upstairs?"
Su Ran nodded and pushed the book open in front of him in the direction of Zhang Ziqing, "Do you know this god of divination?"
Zhang Ziqing glanced at him and shook his head, "I don't have much impression. He's not a high-ranking god."
"What's recorded in this book seems quite powerful." Su Ran looked at the description in the book again.
"This book seems to have been written by a human being. In the eyes of humans at that time, most gods were high-ranking gods." Zhang Ziqing said casually: "Maybe it was just the god whose body was chopped into pieces by me with a sword on the way to heaven. A certain god, there are too many like him, I really don’t have much impression.”
Su Ran rolled her eyes and expressed disdain for Zhang Ziqing's casual but pretentious words.
"My friend came to the store to find me with a child from the orphanage. He is upstairs now. That child, no, it should be said that most of the children in the orphanage are being watched by this so-called god of divination. On.
It appeared on their backs from their necks to their waists.”
Zhang Ziqing nodded, "You're already here, so let's go up and have a look."
In Su Ran's room on the second floor, Xu Yan had fallen asleep on Fang Zhi's body. Fang Zhi didn't dare to move and kept looking out the window.
"Why don't you let her sleep on the bed? It's so uncomfortable to sleep like this." Su Ran whispered.
Fang Zhi shook his head: "I still don't know how she was infected with this condition. It's better not to touch your bed."
"What's the matter? It's a small thing."
Su Ran said and was about to carry Xu Yan to the bed. Fang Zhi hesitated for a moment, then thought about it but didn't stop him.
As soon as Su Ran stretched out her hand and touched Xu Yan, Xu Yan twitched subconsciously and opened her eyes in horror.
"It's okay, Yan Yan. This is sister Ranran, not an outsider." Fang Zhi quickly patted Xu Yan's back to comfort her, and at the same time explained to Su Ran: "I took Yan Yan to find the dean and the others. Not only did they not respond, they were even more and more obsessed with the god of divination. They believed that Yan Yan and the others were the children chosen by the god. While some of the children were asleep, they were sent to the sect leader's office to receive God's guidance.
Yan Yan has also been sent several times, although it is not as perverted as Chen Hao and others. The so-called divine transmission, I heard that the god of divination appeared in person to teach.
But every time the children were sent out after the session, it could be seen that their faces became paler. It was obvious that this conduction was of no benefit to them at all. "
Under Fang Zhi's comfort, Xu Yan quickly calmed down after waking up, and curiously looked at Zhang Ziqing behind Su Ran.
"Of course, is this the friend you were talking about?" Fang Zhi also discovered the existence of Zhang Ziqing, but for some reason, this young man looked familiar.
Su Ran nodded, "His name is Zhang Ziqing, and he is also the owner of this store."
Fang Zhi looked at Zhang Ziqing again, and couldn't help but feel a little confused. She was sure that she must have seen this young man somewhere, but she just couldn't remember it.
"Fang Zhi, can you let Yanyan show my friend her back?
Although she is also a man, I can guarantee that he is definitely different from those messy perverts. He definitely does not have such thoughts. "Su Ran looked at Fang Zhi and asked.
Fang Zhi thought for a while, then looked at Xu Yan who had woken up, and said softly: "Yan Yan, can you take off your shirt and show the string of characters just now to this brother? He is a good person and is here. Help you."
Xu Yan looked Zhang Ziqing up and down curiously, then nodded slightly, turned around and took off his shirt, and the strange string of characters appeared in front of everyone's eyes again.
After Zhang Ziqing looked at it casually, he nodded, "Okay, I've seen it."
Fang Zhi looked at Zhang Ziqing nervously, "How about Mr. Zhang, do you know what this is?"
Zhang Ziqing did not answer, but waved to Xu Yan, gesturing for her to come over.
Xu Yan glanced at Fang Zhi, who nodded before walking to Zhang Ziqing.
"turn around."
Xu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Zhang Ziqing wanted to see the string of characters. After turning around, he was about to take off his clothes again.
"No need to take it off."
Zhang Ziqing's voice came from behind again, and then Xu Yan felt a finger gently tap on his back, sliding from top to bottom, all the way to his waist.
Oddly enough, because of those bad experiences in the past, Xu Yan was very resistant to any physical contact with the opposite sex.
But this time when Zhang Ziqing's hand slid on his back, not only did he not feel any resistance, but he actually felt a little bit of enjoyment.
Moreover, where the string of characters was located, the burning sensation gradually disappeared as his fingers moved downwards. When Zhang Ziqing's fingers left his body, all the abnormal feelings on his back disappeared, as if he was as healthy as before. same time.
"Thank you, brother." Xu Yan turned around and thanked him. Although he didn't know what this good-looking brother had just done, from the results, it seemed that it was something good for him.
Zhang Ziqing waved his hand, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "You guys came at the right time, otherwise this little girl wouldn't survive tonight."
Zhang Ziqing's words shocked both Su Ran and Fang Zhi. Su Ran looked at Zhang Ziqing, "You mean, something would have happened to Yan Yan today?"
Zhang Ziqing nodded, "In your words, it means responding to God's call and serving at God's side."
"Who would be willing to serve such a thing?" Su Ran curled her lips, "Then Yanyan will be fine in the future?"
After Zhang Ziqing was silent for a while, he said meaningfully: "Then it depends on her life."
The unpredictable words made both Su Ran and Fang Zhi stunned, not quite understanding what Zhang Ziqing's words meant.
When Fang Zhi was about to continue asking, Zhang Ziqing had already waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to ask any more questions. He yawned and walked out of the room, leaving Su Ran and Fang Zhi looking at each other.
"Of course, this..." Fang Zhi was in a daze.
Su Ran thought for a while and said softly: "Well, since Yan Yan will be fine for the time being, you can take her back to the hospital first. I'll go find my friend and ask what's going on before contacting her."
Fang Zhi looked at Xu Yan. Her condition was indeed much better than when she came here. Her face turned from pale to rosy. He felt relieved a little, nodded, and led Xu Yan to Su Ran. bid farewell.
Su Ran sent them all the way downstairs to the gate, then Fang Zhi turned around and asked: "Of course, there is something I wanted to ask you just now. That friend of yours, I'm sure I've seen him somewhere. But now I can’t remember it no matter how much I think about it.”
Of course you have seen me before, he was the one who came to pick me up in the courtyard before.
However, Su Ran didn't say it out loud, and just found a reason casually, "Maybe we met by chance on the street or somewhere. After all, it's normal for him to have a deep memory with his appearance."
Although this reason sounded a bit false, Fang Zhi couldn't find any other reasonable reasons for the time being, so he nodded, taking it as acquiescence, waved goodbye to Su Ran and turned around to leave.
Su Ran watched Fang Zhi and Xu Yan disappear from her sight. She sighed softly and turned back to the store. After a few words with the high school students downstairs, she came to Zhang Ziqing's room. Room, after knocking on the door, Zhang Ziqing walked in without waiting for Zhang Ziqing's response.
"When you come in, knock on the door and wait until I let you in before you come in."
Zhang Ziqing lay on his emerald green emerald recliner and closed his eyes. Although there was no movement, the recliner began to shake gently on its own.
"I'll remember it next time." Su Ran replied casually, sat down on the soft sofa opposite Zhang Ziqing, and leaned back comfortably.
Zhang Ziqing's room is filled with old objects, such as antique vases, chess, calligraphy and paintings, etc. Even the tables, chairs and benches are from hundreds of years ago. Only this sofa is a smart AI sofa produced this year.
When Su Ran came to Zhang Ziqing's room before, the chairs were moved from chair to chair and it was a bit uncomfortable to sit on, so she simply bought a soft sofa and put it in Zhang Ziqing's room, just for herself to sit on.
After sitting on the sofa and stretching, Su Ran kicked Zhang Ziqing's recliner: "Tell me, what's going on with Yan Yan?"
Zhang Ziqing was silent for a while and asked softly: "Are they important to you?"
Su Ran was stunned. She leaned on the sofa and closed her eyes to think about it for a long time. She nodded, "I don't think I have told you before. I have been isolated by other children because of the years I was in the hospital. No one wanted to He played with me and even deliberately bullied me to embarrass me. It was Fang Zhi who pulled me out despite being bullied by so many people and stayed with me through the three years in the orphanage.
If Fang Zhi hadn't been with me in the hospital to protect me, I might have suffered from severe depression now, before you met me.
Oh no, if things go like that, it’s not even sure whether you’ll see me in the orphanage or not. "
