Jian Xingzhi's voice seemed to have some kind of magic. Qin Wanwan felt sleepy as soon as she heard it and fell asleep again.
When she woke up the next day, Qin Wanwan took advantage of Jian Xingzhi's meditation and ran out early in the morning. As soon as she went out, she met Bai Suiyou. When he saw Qin Wanwan, he happily greeted her, "Miss Li, where are you going?"
"Ah, Bai Daoyou," Qin Wanwan greeted him and pointed outside, "I'm planning to look for a job. Does Bai Daoyou know where I can find some work for mortals?"
"Miss Li, why don't you go to the Wanshifang in East Street? I heard that as long as you have money, there is nothing you can't do."
"That's great," Qin Wanwan said happily, "I'll be there right away!"
"I also happen to be going to East Street to rent a horse," Bai Suiyou invited, "Why don't we go together?"
"good!"
Qin Wanwan agreed and walked towards East Street with Bai Suiyou.
Bai Suiyou knew Xunxian Town very well and was humorous. He introduced the various delicacies in the town to Qin Wanwan along the way. The two quickly became familiar with each other. Bai Suiyou asked Qin Wanwan why she went to Wanshiwu: "Miss Li, are you planning to find a job for Master Zhang?"
"That's right."
"Miss, don't you plan to go with Master Zhang?"
"To be honest," Qin Wanwan pretended to be distressed, "In fact, he has always been obsessed with me and has been entangled with me. Now I just want to settle him down and let him have a stable life. After all, as a cultivator, I feel guilty for taking him out to eat and sleep in the open."
"Miss Li has thought it through."
Bai Suiyou nodded: "The path of cultivation is difficult and dangerous. Young Master Zhang looks like a delicate beauty. I'm afraid she can't endure such hardship."
"That's right." Qin Wanwan responded immediately, "So I thought, find him a job, find an opportunity, keep him, and live a stable life from now on."
"I understand." Bai Suiyou seemed to understand Qin Wanwan very well. Qin Wanwan saw that she had almost finished talking, so she finally made a request, "So, wait a moment, can Brother Bai borrow some money?"
Bai Suiyou paused, and Qin Wanwan looked at him with a bitter smile: "My Qiankun bag is with Zhang San. I will definitely return it to you after I get the job done!"
"Oh," Bai Suiyou reacted and nodded immediately, "It's a small matter, don't worry, young lady."
Qin Wanwan was immediately happy to hear that Bai Suiyou was willing to lend money. Then she remembered, "Where is your uncle?"
"Master uncle returned to the city after chatting with me last night."
Bai Suiyou smiled and said, "If you are interested, I will take you to meet him some other day."
Qin Wanwan nodded. She glanced at Bai Suiyou and smiled, "Okay."
The two of them went to Wanshifang together. Qin Wanwan told him her request. The shopkeeper turned around and waved his hand. The high cabinet opened and a scroll floated down: "Acacia Country Red Bean Town Granary Manager, ten spirit stones, what do you think of this position, young lady?"
“Is the job stable?”
This is what Qin Wanwan cares about most. She cannot let Jian Zhiyan starve to death.
"Stable." The shopkeeper smiled. "Xiangsi Country has always been peaceful and at peace with the world. Now it is a time of peace and prosperity. This position comes with a salary from the court, so it is very stable."
“How much per month?”
"Ten taels of silver, two dan of fine rice, two pieces of linen, two taels of silver for winter charcoal, and additional compensation during festivals."
"Assigning accommodation?"
“Of course it’s divided.”
“How long are the working hours?”
"No more than four hours a day, ten days off a month, holidays are arranged by the court, the work is very leisurely, except for making records when the warehouse is put in and out, there is almost nothing to do at other times, and you can also read books."
"I… "
The words "Can I go?" stuck in her throat, and Qin Wanwan then remembered that she was looking for a job for Jian Zhiyan, not for herself.
She felt a little sad for a moment. Compared to being a heroine who goes through life and death, she would rather have a job like this, where the country distributes houses and rice, she has a stable job, she works no more than eight hours a day, and has ten days off a month.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the shopkeeper said cautiously: "Miss? How about changing one?"
"No need for that." Although Qin Wanwan was full of jealousy, she still turned to look at Bai Suiyou, "What do you think of this job, fellow Daoist Bai?"
"I think it's very good."
Bai Suiyou said this and took out ten spirit stones and placed them on the table.
The shopkeeper immediately smiled and took out a gift box: "Gentlemen, the letter of introduction, the letter of appointment, the official seal, and the instructions for employment are all inside. Welcome to visit us next time."
Taking these letters out, Qin Wanwan and Bai Suiyou found a small pub outside and sat down to carefully read the job instructions.
According to this instruction manual, Wanshifang has arranged everything. As long as Jian Zhiyan arrives at the location arranged by Wanshifang on time and gets on the carriage, Wanshifang will make all the arrangements.
Now there is only one question left, how to make Jian Zhiyan leave willingly.
"Let's do this." Bai Suiyou suggested to Qin Wanwan, "I'll ask you to go catch the Heart-Confusing Ants later, and then I'll rent two horses to catch the Heart-Confusing Ants. Tell him that there are not enough horses, and ask him to wait at the inn. I'll give you the Qiankun bag, and then we'll leave together. You leave him a letter, and when he waits for you but can't, he'll give up after seeing the letter. He's a mortal, and he has nowhere to go, so he can only go to Xiangsi Country to take up his post."
"That's what you said." Qin Wanwan nodded, "Then let's do it this way."
After the two made their decision, they went to the store, took out pen and ink, discussed together, and wrote a breakup letter with great emotion. After Qin Wanwan finished writing it, she read it again and even she was moved.
She blew on the letter, put it into the peach blossom envelope that she asked her boss to buy, and put it against her chest. Only then did she feel at ease to go back.
When they returned to the inn, Jian Xingzhi was still meditating. Qin Wanwan carefully stuffed the letter into the quilt, and then she heard Jian Xingzhi say, "Why don't you go catch the Heart-Confusing Ant? If not, catch Qianliu."
"Grasp."
Qin Wanwan quickly spoke up and coughed lightly: "But catching the mind-confusing ants may be very dangerous. Why don't you stay in the inn?"
"No need," Jian Xingzhi opened his eyes and stood up from the couch, "I'll go with you."
"oh."
Qin Wanwan nodded and led Jian Xingzhi downstairs. When they reached the door, they saw Bai Suiyou had already prepared two spirit horses and was standing at the door.
When Qin Wanwan saw Bai Suiyou, she began to wink at him, and Bai Suiyou hurried forward: "Brother Zhang, Miss Li."
"Let's go."
Jian Xingzhi walked towards the spirit horse, and Qin Wanwan grabbed him and said, "Wait."
"Ah, Brother Zhang," Bai Suiyou stopped in front of Jian Xingzhi, "Well, it's dangerous to go there, why don't you just not go?"
"Li Si will protect me."
Jian Xingzhi raised his chin towards Qin Wanwan, who winked at Bai Suiyou, who looked embarrassed: "But I didn't expect you to go. I only prepared one horse, and it's inconvenient to ride together. Why don't you wait for us at the inn?"
"Yes, yes," Qin Wanwan said quickly, "Don't work so hard. You don't have a horse. Just give me the Qiankun bag and wait for me at the inn."
"No problem."
No horse is fine.
Qin Wanwan was a little confused by what she heard, and then she saw Jian Xingzhi raise his hand, take the sword from her waist, and chop it at the inn sign.
"Wait!" The boss screamed and ran out of the inn. The sign fell down but was still in the air. Jian Xingzhi swung the sword in his hand wildly. When the wooden board fell to the ground, a skateboard-shaped board appeared on the ground.
Everyone was stunned. Jian Xingzhi walked to the horse, tied the skateboard behind it, turned around and said to the boss who was looking at the empty sign in shock, "The words on your sign are too bad. I'll write one for you later."
After saying that, he folded his arms across his chest and stood on the wooden board.
"Let's go."
He urged Qin Wanwan.
Qin Wanwan didn't say anything. She looked at this thing that looked like a skateboard and fell into deep thought.
After a moment, she raised her head seriously and said a code: "Odd numbers change, but even numbers remain the same."
Jian Xingzhi looked at her quietly. Qin Wanwan was delighted and was about to start a cordial meeting with her fellow villager when she heard Jian Xingzhi order her, "Hurry up and get on the horse."
Her hopes were dashed. Qin Wanwan sighed. She and Bai Suiyou looked at each other, and Bai Suiyou gave her some encouragement.
If you fail now, there will be other opportunities!
Anyway, she has found a job, so she can always find an opportunity to dump him.
After the two of them discussed it, they felt relieved and got on the board together. Jian Xingzhi stepped on the skateboard, crossed his arms over his chest, and balanced strangely on the board.
With a shout of "Gee", the horse started running fast, and Jian Xingzhi stood on the wooden board and moved quickly along with the horse.
The man on the wooden board had his arms folded across his chest, his back straight. The dust raised by the horse and the wind blew his hair into his face. He shuttled back and forth between being ethereal and covered in dust, exuding an indescribable strange aura, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
After a long time, the boss finally reacted and asked the person next to him: "Who is he?"
Everyone was at a loss, and one of them spoke hesitantly: "I heard from fellow Taoist Bai that his name is Zhang San."
"Who is Zhang San? Where is this expert from?"
Everyone was talking about it, and the boss finally realized that he had been cheated. He knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "My signboard was written by Xie Gutang, the last champion of the sword test competition. It contains the exquisite sword spirit of Xie Daojun. How many people came from thousands of miles for this. Zhang San, this bastard, smashed other people's signboards. He has no conscience. Xie Daojun, I'm sorry! I can't protect the signboard you gave me. I'm useless! Don't let me meet him again, or I will hit him to death!"
