The Heart of a Smith

Chapter 19

Views:

The planning result of Lushang is not a horror house, but an amusement park with horror elements as its theme. The offshore area is a leisure area, with a hotel to provide food and accommodation, and the amusement area is mainly entertainment facilities. There is even a piece of land that uses materials directly in situ, retaining the ruins that were washed away by the sea more than ten years ago, which is cost-effective and realistic.

It is not enough to have hard facilities. He also made another plan to find a popular writer in the online literature circle, write a supernatural story around the feng shui rumors of the Jinsha Coast, and at the same time set up an operation team to promote this IP, Develop soft culture to pave the way for publicity after completion.

With the existence of this novel as a premise, the credibility of those rumors has been greatly reduced. Those who had the heart to spread these rumors in the past became propaganda helpers in an instant.

"But why should you emphasize that you are an online literature writer?"

"Most of the people who like horror elements are young people, and they have a high degree of overlap with the audience of online texts."

Li Sui nodded in understanding.

Lu Shang sent the preliminary planning case to Liu Xingming and asked him to do a feasibility report. When he looked back, it was the middle of the night. A scent wafted from the kitchen, and Lu Shang felt a little hungry.

"What are you doing?"

"Pigeon soup." Li Sui turned off the fire and lifted the lid of the earthen jar. A strong aroma immediately flooded the entire kitchen. He swayed the oil slick away, scooped a spoon of clear soup from the middle into the bowl, and handed it to the Lu Shang, "You have a taste."

The soup was a clear caramel color, and the layer of floating meat foam was not visible. Obviously, the meat had been pretreated before being put into the pot. There was very little oil visible to the naked eye, and it was steaming hot. Take a sip, it is full of fresh fragrance between the lips and teeth, the salt is very light, and the seasoning is not declared to be dominant. It's wonderful, in addition to the sweetness that can be tasted, the soup also has a special taste that can't be described. It is slightly bitter, and it seems to be Chinese medicine.

Lu Shang tasted that the soup was different from what he usually drinks: "Did you put herbs?"

"Well, I asked about Nursing, and it's all medicinal herbs you can eat." Li Sui was afraid that he would be worried, and added, "I didn't put too much."

Lu Shang lowered his head and drank the soup.

Li Sui said anxiously, "Is it delicious?"

"Well, it's delicious." Lu Shang handed him the bowl and motioned for another bowl.

Li Sui seemed to be greatly satisfied, and he immediately smiled brightly. His eyes were big, and when he smiled, a pair of lying silkworms were very obvious. The ceiling lamp in the kitchen was reflected in his eyes, which really matched his name.

Lu Shang looked away, as if he remembered something, reached out and squeezed his arm: "Is the previous injury healed?"

"Good morning, there is only a little scar left, and you won't be able to see it in the summer." After saying that, he didn't care to do a fitness exercise with curved arms, bulging out good-looking muscle lines.

He really grew up, Lu Shang thought. He remembered that when he first picked up Li Sui, he was as thin as an African refugee. In the blink of an eye, he had grown into a man. This child seems to have been holding back for more than ten years. When he encounters a favorable environment, he is like an invasive species. He desperately absorbs nutrients and grows back all the money he owed before.

He suddenly understood Liang Zirui's sense of crisis.

After the planning proposal was sent out, Liu Xingming called excitedly the next morning. First he made a compliment, and then he politely urged him to pay.

After the proposal was held at the meeting, the representatives of the project team quarreled for a few days, and finally gave a reply and agreed to pass. Originally, this plan was the most reasonable, and no one was willing to take the lead in this matter. Lu Shang came to take over, and they simply could not ask for it. It's just that each person in charge represents their own shareholders. Naturally, they have to be a bit of a moth to gain a sense of existence in Yibo, and they add a lot of opinions. These are all tasteless in Lu Shang's view. To deal with it, I took Li Sui out to play while the weather was good, and visited several famous nearby attractions.

Li Sui found that Lu Shang is a person who enjoys life very much, and takes his work very seriously. Besides, there seems to be nothing that can make him particularly concerned, and everything always seems to be irrelevant. Later, on the beach, he happened to see Lu Shang changing his clothes, and when he saw the scars on his body, he suddenly understood the reason.

He had never seen his body under the scorching sun, and under the light, he could see that it was a few tiny scars, the marks left by the operation. The scars were deep and shallow, which seemed to prove how rough the owner of this body was. Li Sui couldn't imagine how many times Lu Shang had been tormented by illness when he had grown to such a size.

He once asked Liang Zirui about the severity of Lu Shang's condition, but he didn't understand it at the time, and Dr. Liang was not very good at revealing the patient's privacy, so he only told him: "Let me say this, if he was not born in Lu A family, but an ordinary family, has long since died."

If a person walks on the edge of life and death all the year round, and even his life is threatened all the time, let alone Lu Shang, if it is anyone else, it will be difficult to care about the right and wrong in the world.

"What are you thinking?" Lu Shang threw a beach volleyball from a distance.

Li Sui pulled away from his thoughts, steadily caught the ball, put it at his feet, and said, "I'm thinking, when will we go back."

"homesick?"

"Well, I haven't seen Uncle Yuan and Aunt Lu for a long time."

Lu Shang sat down beside him and took a bottle of soda: "Then go back tomorrow."

"Are you finished here?"

"It's not a matter of a while. It will take at least two or three years for this project to be completed."

"Then go back, I want to learn more about ordering from Aunt Lu."

Lu Shang smiled: "I'm afraid she won't let you learn."

The setting sun rendered a blood-red setting sun on the horizon, reflecting on the sea, sparkling like a layer of gold floating on the water.

"You also contributed to this proposal. What reward do you want when you go back?" Lu Shang asked him.

Li Sui turned his head and saw Lu Shang's black hair glowing golden in the setting sun, and the edge of his outline was covered with a very light mist, like a gilded Buddha that could save him from fire and water, at that moment, he seemed to suddenly Gaining courage from this light, his Adam's apple rolled, and he asked earnestly, "Anything you want?"

"It's within my ability," Lu Shang smiled and said, "If you ask me to go to the sea to find a magic lamp that can make a wish, then I can't do it."

"I really want a magic lamp that can make a wish," Li Sui looked into the distance, "This will help you heal your illness."

Lu Shang turned his head when he heard the words, the eyes of the two inadvertently touched each other, and in a certain second, a microsecond resonance was achieved. Lu Shang suddenly had a strong intuition that Li Sui had something to say to him.

"Hey, be careful—" someone suddenly shouted in the distance.

A dark shadow flashed past, and the volleyball nearly rubbed the faces of the two and flew over.

"I'm sorry..." The man said in broken Mandarin and ran to pick up the ball.

With a gust of wind back and forth, Li Sui digs his index finger into the sand, and then gradually loosens it and takes it out. Courage expired too quickly, he missed the moment when he wanted to say it the most, and he could no longer speak.

"Let's talk about it later, owe it first."

Lu Shang unscrewed the soda, the mouth of the bottle made a "squeak" sound, and said softly with a smile: "Learn to be good."

Li Sui raised his eyebrows: "You taught me."

Uncle Yuan booked them a flight the next morning. The project team knew that he was leaving, and they kept them all. Lu Shang couldn’t shirk. Besides, they still needed to follow up on some follow-up matters. The request to hold a farewell banquet for him was delayed by an extra day.

After playing for a whole day, the two of them were tired, so they went back and collected their personal luggage casually, and left the rest to the hotel waiter to sort out. Lu Shang just explained that he put the conch in the glass cabinet and went to the bedroom to sleep. As a result, the waiter was a novice. He also took out the mobile phone charger that was still charging and put it in the bag. This caused Lushang to wake up the next morning, and the mobile phone was automatically turned off when it was out of power.

Liu Xingming was impatient. He couldn't make a phone call early in the morning, so he called Li Sui directly.

This is the advantage of the old phone. After charging the tube for a week, Li Sui handed the phone to Lu Shang and got up to prepare breakfast by himself. When he arrives at home, I am afraid that the kitchen will not be his territory. If he wants to cook a meal for Lu Shang, it is estimated that Aunt Lu will think that he is going to grab a job.

"Uninhabited island?" Lu Shang got up and went to the balcony, "Is the news reliable?"

"Reliable, my buddy from the procuratorate told me that it was indeed a bankruptcy auction. I saw the price, it was very cost-effective, and the procedures were complete. The most important thing is that it is very close to the Jinsha Coast. If you can get it, it will be a very good resource. ."

"How is the level of development?"

The other end of the phone paused and said, "It was said to be semi-development, but I called you as soon as I received the news, and I haven't had time to verify it."

Lu Shang thought about it and said, "You go and arrange it. In the afternoon, we will go to sea to see, and bring the people from the survey and evaluation company with us."

"Okay," Liu Xingming asked again before hanging up the phone, "by the way, last time on the cruise ship, you told me to find the person, I have already contacted, and some related things have been handed over to Assistant Yuan. But Boss Lu, forgive me for asking, this person is in charge of the prison system, what are you doing with him?"

Lu Shang paused: "This is my private matter."

Liu Xingming did not ask any further questions, hung up the phone and went to charter a boat.

There was a gust of wind blowing from the balcony, Lu Shang looked up at the cloudy sky, walked into the house, picked up the phone to check the weather forecast, and after a while, there was no response before he remembered that the battery was out of power. Holding Li Sui's tablet, he walked over naturally and raised his hand to open it. When he first bought the tablet, he was afraid that Li Sui would not be able to use it, so he added his own to the fingerprint authentication, so there was no obstacle to unlocking the tablet. The screen jumped to the page that was not closed last time, and his fingers froze—

"Surgical Treatment of Congenital Heart Disease", "Diet and Nursing Care of Patients with Heart Disease", "Modern Interventional Cardiology Practical Techniques"... Further down, there are several company laws and practical cases.

It was obvious that Li Sui was secretly looking for a way to cure his heart. These books had various records of flipping through them, and he had taken notes in many places. It was obvious that he was careful. He also found a few diet recipes in the sticky notes, no accident. , it was what Li Sui did for him these days.

Lu Shang calmly put the tablet back and stood there for a while without saying a word.

The room was very quiet, and the sound of collisions from the kitchen could be faintly heard. Lu Shang lowered his eyes, and his heart suddenly became mixed. If this child knew in the future, the treatment he had been looking for turned out to be...

"I'm going to make glutinous rice balls, do you want to eat salty or sweet?" Li Sui suddenly poked out a smiling face from the kitchen.

Lu Shang cleaned up his expression, raised his head and smiled at him: "Salt."

"Then I will cook it with yesterday's soup."

The bay window was lifted by the wind outside the house, drawing an arc in the air. Lu Shang remembered that Li Sui seemed to have mentioned it once and wanted him to teach him about the company and nursing. He was ill at that time and was not too sick. Concerned, Li Sui mentioned it once but was not answered, so he wisely did not mention it again.

It's not that Lu Shang didn't want to, it's just that he didn't have the extra energy to take care of others. At the same time, he also felt that this matter was too futile. Liang Zirui was helpless about his illness. What could Li Sui do as a child.

Then he thought about Sima Jingrong, and he felt that this idea was too subjective. He should not deprive Li Sui of his right to choose. No matter what outcome they had in the future, at least for children of this age, Li Sui should have the same experience. the right to education.

After lunch, the two of them took a nap again. Lu Shang changed his clothes and went out. Li Sui confirmed for the second time next to him, "Is there really no need for me to go?"

"No," Lu Shang put on his coat, "Leave early tomorrow morning, and you'll be home at noon. You can call Aunt Lu and ask her to prepare lunch and tell her what she wants to eat."

"Oh..." Li Sui leaned against the door, reluctant to leave.

During this period of time, he carried this tail everywhere, and Lu Shang was also a little uncomfortable. He stepped on the carpet and said, "Let's go."

Xiao Zhao's car was already parked at the door, and Li Sui stared at him and disappeared from sight before gradually withdrawing his gaze and going upstairs.

"Didn't Xiao Li come with you?" Xiao Zhao asked as soon as he got in the car.

Lu Shang: "Let's go."

Feeling that his eyes were glued to him, Lu Shang never looked back. He really didn't want to get too close to Li Sui now. Ever since he saw those things on the tablet, he seemed to have an inexplicable sense of guilt in his heart. He needed a little space. to remain rational.

Following Lu Shang's instructions, Li Sui found a few dishes in his little treasure house and reported it to Aunt Lu on the phone.

"It's all food for nourishing the heart," Aunt Lu laughed, "Is Boss Lu feeling better?"

"Much better, the climate here seems to be quite suitable for him."

"That's fine, that's fine..."

The two chatted for a few more words, and Li Sui hung up the phone, and finally had a sense of steadfastness about going home. After packing my luggage, I walked around the house, and there was nothing to do, so I simply flipped out the book and continued to read.

These professional books are still very difficult for him. Every time he encounters a new word, he has to check it online to understand what it means, and the progress is slow. However, things like reading have always been in a hurry. If you want to be fast, you can only concentrate and improve efficiency.

After reading most of the book, Li Sui raised his head from the screen dryly, and found that there was a strong wind outside the house. He hurriedly walked to the balcony, and saw that the sky was dark, dark clouds were rolling, and a precursor to a storm was coming.

Li Sui's heart was filled with unease, and he was pacing left and right when a text message came on his mobile phone. It was a storm warning issued by the Meteorological Bureau, reminding nearby ships to return to port as soon as possible.

It was obviously sunset time, and it was already dark enough to see no one on the street. The terrifying strong wind blew the street trees one after another, as if a pair of demonic hands were about to pull them out by the roots. Thinking that Lu Shang was still at sea, Li Sui. Can't help but feel anxious for a while, and immediately called Lu Shang.

The other end of the phone prompted to shut down, but Li Sui was stunned, so he called two more times, but it was still prompted to shut down. A huge shadow instantly enveloped him like a curtain, and Li Sui suddenly remembered that when he went to the construction base that day, the female receptionist said that one person would die every four years in this sea, and his heart was even more anxious.

He called Xiao Zhao, who was also at a loss for a while, and said, "I didn't go with them, there is someone in the entourage who is getting old and feeling unwell, Boss Lu asked me to bring him back first, and when will they come back? Out of the sea, I don't know."
