At this time, Zhang Daoting pushed Xiao Dian out.
Xie Lingya took a look and saw that Xiao Dian was in a homemade wheelchair, “Fang Zhe, you got up so early, and got the wheelchair ready, why didn’t I have this treatment at the beginning?”
This was a modified wooden chair with wheels added.
Fang Zhe said, “I’ll give you another one later.”
Xie Lingya: “… Stop cursing me.”
Hai Guanchao blew on the medicine before putting it in Xiao Dian’s hand and told him to drink it. He was also experienced, so he gave Xiao Dian a lot of supplements just like Xie Lingya before.
Xiao Dian didn’t expect that everyone would treat him like a star, and he was flattered for a while: “I, I’m sorry, why are you all taking care of me.”
He felt that even if he was that thing, he felt very uncomfortable with such attention.
Zhang Daoting said humorously: “Xiao Dian, you will be our boss in the future, this is a preview.”
Xiao Dian was stunned.
Xie Lingya smiled and said: “I won’t stay in Baoyang Temple forever. This Taoist temple will be handed over to my uncle’s direct disciple in the future. After you enter, you will be my uncle’s founding disciple, and the only disciple at present, so…”
This was what he thought about early in the morning, and he also told Zhang Daoting and other people who came earlier. He thought that after what happened yesterday, he could completely trust Xiao Dian and hand over Baoyang Temple to such a person.
Xiao Dian almost choked and was stunned. He really didn’t expect this. He said helplessly, “I don’t know anything…”
To be honest, the current Baoyang Temple was very different from when Xie Lingya first took over. If it was the same as before, Xiao Dian’s pressure might not be so great, because how much worse could it be?
“Just study hard. It’s too early to talk about whether you understand it or not.” Xie Lingya interrupted him, “Your mind is open, so Taoism is not a problem. For business management, go to school to learn. You are not an irresponsible person, right?”
Originally, Xiao Dian also wanted to apply for self-study. Now, Xie Lingya didn’t intend to let him put it aside, but he might have to change his major. Anyway, Xie Lingya would definitely keep an eye on him until he could take over.
Xiao Dian was confused by what Xie Lingya said. He didn’t know how it became that he was irresponsible if he did not want to be the boss. In the end, he nodded confusedly.
….
Xie Lingya had nothing else to do in the morning, so he just studied how to strengthen defense.
As for the matter of Youdu, the underworld wanted to warn the others, so naturally it would be conveyed to the Yangshi Daomen through their channels.
Ning Wanlai and Cheng Xin came together. Cheng Xin did find some clues. He had identified the identities of all the victims of the skull technique and had contacted their families. He was going to start collecting evidence now.
Ning Wanlai said nervously: “Brother Wang suddenly called me last night without any warning, saying that a fierce ghost escaped from the underworld, but nothing happened later… Teacher Xie, do you think something big has happened?”
Xie Lingya said vaguely: “If it really happens, they will definitely notify you.”
The underworld was probably still sorting out this matter. Ning Wanlai, who was an impermanent, had not received the news yet, so Xie Lingya was not in a position to disclose it.
At this time, Xiao Dian came out in a wheelchair to bask in the sun, and Shi Changxuan walked by slowly with a pale face.
Ning Wanlai: “…What happened again?” He suddenly had a flash of inspiration, “It can’t be related to what happened last night, right?”
“Yes.” Xie Lingya had nothing to deny, “You are so concerned, do you want to sign a long-term contract?”
“No, no, I want to resign.” Ning Wanlai said hurriedly.
Xie Lingya discussed the case with them again to see if there was anything he could help with. When he thought of Ma Xiaochuan, he felt that this guy was really a troublemaker who had misled him. He thought that he must not let this guy run away.
Xiao Dian sat in a wheelchair and went to the front yard to burn incense and bask in the sun.
Xiao Dian drank tea and basked in the sun. He could hear the Taoist priests preaching and the pilgrims chatting. He felt very peaceful in his heart and loved this kind of life.
At this time, an old tea drinker also saw Xiao Dian. This kid had been in Baoyang Temple for a long time. Everyone knew him or was familiar with him. So he called out, “Young man.”
Xiao Dian: “Huh?”
The old tea drinker: “What’s wrong with your leg?”
Xiao Dian was very proud, “Nothing, just a little injured, it will heal soon.”
“Oh,” the old tea drinker pointed to his temples, “Then your…”
Xiao Dian smiled shyly, “Nothing…”
Although he was proud of his feat, he was too embarrassed to brag. He was almost ashamed by Xie Lingya and the Taoist priests, so he didn’t care about these.
Old tea drinker: “It’s nothing. My granddaughter just dyed her hair yellow. Your white hair is too conspicuous. Are you also following that… non-traditional, special trend or something?”
Xiao Dian: “…………”
Xiao Dian couldn’t even cry for a moment. But everyone had seen him and knew that he didn’t have premature gray hair.
Most of the people here were parents. They couldn’t help but discuss the perming and dyeing of their children’s hair. They all said that the hair color of children nowadays was getting more and more unusual. Some dyed their hair white, some blue, some dyed their whole head, and some only dyed two tufts.
After a while, Xie Lingya sent Cheng Xin and the others away. Seeing the heated discussion here, he came over to support the back of Xiao Dian’s wheelchair and said, “What are you talking about?”
“Xiao Xie.” Everyone was most familiar with Xie Lingya, and they said, “Your kid dyed two tufts of white hair. He was a good young man, how did he become like this.”
Xie Lingya was stunned for a moment and almost laughed out loud. He thought to himself that it was no wonder that Xiao Dian looked at him with such resentment, this kid must not be very eloquent, so he suppressed his laughter and said, “No, I forced him to dye it.”
Tea Guest A: “Oh… you asked him to dye it. Is it some Taoist test?”
Tea Guest B: “Well, it may be an experience. Young people might want to feel the state of mind of the elderly.”
Tea Guest C: “Makes sense. In fact, if you look at him more, he doesn’t look like a little gangster anymore. There is a bit of artistic conception in it!”
Xiao Dian: “………………”
….
On the day Shi Changxuan had an exam, Xie Lingya did not have class, but in return for the favor, of course he had to shoulder the responsibility, so holding Shi Changxuan’s hand, he helped ahim go to class.
Because there were too many people on the subway, they missed two trains. When they arrived at the classroom, there were only two minutes before the exam started. Xie Lingya helped Shi Changxuan into the classroom and found that there was not only the teacher of this course, but also several school leaders and unfamiliar people present.
When they saw Shi Changxuan’s pale face, they asked, “What’s wrong with this student?”
The teacher whispered beside him that this was a leader who came to inspect.
Xie Lingya answered, “He was acting bravely and got a little injured. So I helped him.”
The leader nodded with satisfaction, “Students of Quedong College have always been known for their hard work and love of learning. They are also good people. I remember that there was a new graduate student in your school who was also brave and vomited blood while taking the exam?”
Xie Lingya: “…”
He could also faintly hear other students muttering, “Isn’t it rare to vomit blood?”
“It’s just a superficial reason…”
“I think so too, everyone knows it’s hard to vomit blood.”
Xie Lingya: “…………”
Shi Changxuan looked at Xie Lingya, who looked embarrassed, and didn’t want to admit, I’m the one who vomit blood while taking the exam.
The leader asked Shi Changxuan to sit down quickly and told him to go to the hospital if he had any problems. He said he could retake the exam, as it was not a national exam. He encouraged him like this and left.
The teacher, thinking of the case of the candidate who vomited blood, was a little flustered and wanted to persuade Shi Changxuan to go to the hospital. Seeing that he was unwilling, he asked Xie Lingya not to leave and to find a place to sit. If Shi Changxuan had any problems, he could take care of him.
Xie Lingya found a corner where no one was around and sat down.
After a while, Xie Fan came over and talked to the teacher of this class for a few words. He stared at Shi Changxuan and then saw Xie Lingya. He walked over and said, “Someone notified that my student came to school with an injury. I had a hunch before he even said the name. It turned out to be you.”
Xie Lingya: “… Me?”
Xie Fan said, “It’s you, the famous student who vomited blood. If you are close to Zhu, you will turn red, and if you are close to ink, you will turn black. Shi Changxuan can take the exam with an injury only because he is with you.”
Xie Lingya: “… … …
Don’t mention it. When he heard that if you are close to Zhu, you will turn red, and if you are close to ink, you will turn black, he thought of the joke that Shi Changxuan played with him. He was almost scared to death, thinking that Shi Changxuan was possessed.
“Yes, I heard that the leaders also told us to pay attention to the health of students and not to be stubborn.” Xie Fan asked, “Is Shi Changxuan’s body okay?”
Xie Lingya said helplessly, “It’s okay, just a little weak, anyway, he will definitely not vomit blood.”
Xie Fan breathed a sigh of relief: “That’s good.”
Just because of Xie Lingya’s glorious deeds, they all had to worry about students vomiting blood.
Shi Changxuan finished the test ahead of time, and the teacher didn’t dare to keep him, so he quickly asked Xie Lingya to help him go and have a good rest.
When Xie Lingya was packing up Shi Changxuan’s things, the person in front of him turned around and asked, “Shi Changxuan, is this your buddy?”
Xie Lingya only knew the students under Xie Fan, but he had never met anyone in Shi Changxuan’s major or department. From delivering notes to going in and out of school together, he had never been in Shi Changxuan’s classroom.
The other party naturally didn’t know who Xie Lingya was, and was a little curious that Shi Changxuan, who usually kept to himself, had such a good friend.
Shi Changxuan smiled faintly and said, “This is my junior brother.”
It was rare for Shi Changxuan to smile in front of others. The classmate was shocked. After watching the two of them walk out, he muttered to himself a few beats late: “So the wooden doll is not a broken character, but a token of the master that everyone has…”
….
Xie Lingya helped Shi Changxuan walk out and couldn’t help but wonder if his thoughts were a little biased. Otherwise, why could he always taste a different flavor when listening to Shi Changxuan’s normal speech.
He felt weird when Shi Changxuan said it was okay. And when Shi Changxuan said he was a “junior brother”, he also felt something was wrong.
Xie Lingya didn’t know if he could keep his composure. Anyway, he was a little anxious now. So he asked in a low voice: “Shi Changxuan, should we continue to squeeze into the subway or take a taxi back?”
Shi Changxuan said: “Take the subway…” He looked at Xie Lingya and said, “If you are tired, take a taxi.”
“How can I be worse than you who are injured?” Xie Lingya said and raised his eyes to see Shi Changxuan looking at him with eyes that seemed very normal, but it felt strange when he looked at him carefully.
Xie Lingya: “…”
Shi Changxuan lowered his eyes and was silent for a while, and then asked: “Why don’t you call me senior brother now?”
Xie Lingya was a little impatient when he was looked at. He didn’t mean anything else but suddenly remembered that he confessed to Shi Changxuan after calling him senior brother that day and said in a daze: “…It will help you recover from your injuries, so that you won’t be distracted!”
After saying that, he felt a little ashamed.
Shi Changxuan sighed lightly: “That’s not enough.”
There were more things that could make him distracted.
