Day and night tour

Chapter 19 Psychic?

When people lie down, their perspective involuntarily lowers, and the scene they can see is completely different from when they are sitting or standing.

It's a bit like the perspective of a teenager.

Children always tend to notice adults' legs, garbage under the table, and snacks and toys hanging on the counters in the grocery store almost touching the ground.

When Zhou Xuan lay down, he could easily see the villagers standing on tiptoe, and the shadows that could not be cast by the sun...

He had these characteristics when he was a ghost.

It is equivalent to saying,
Among the villagers who came to watch the show, nearly one-third were not “human”.

He quickly got up from the long bench and went backstage to find Yu Zhengyuan.

At this time, Yu Zhengyuan was sitting on a bench with Mr. Dai, chatting animatedly.

"Mr. Dai, you are a media tycoon. When reporters interview you, they all speak in a humble manner and dare not ask sharp questions... You don't know that those reporters are not like this in normal times. They are very mean. In March, my client was a movie star who was embarrassed by the reporters and cried on the spot..."

"Oh, everyone needs to grow up. When I first started my business, I was also nervous in front of reporters, but I am a calm person. Even though my hands were shaking like a sieve in my sleeves, it was definitely not visible on my face.

Being able to keep calm is the skill I am most proud of in my life."

Zhou Xuan found it strange to hear Mr. Dai's self-praise.

When he was in the car, Mr. Dai was quite normal, just a businessman who loved to show off. But since he came to Huilang River, words with summary nature such as "this life", "my life", "how many autumns in life" and so on, popped out of his mouth one after another.

It was as if he had a premonition of something.

"Big Brother, your sister-in-law wants you to come over."

Zhou Xuan lied casually, under the banner of Xu Li, and called Yu Zhengyuan out for a chat.

Hearing that it was his wife who called him, Yu Zhengyuan hurriedly smiled apologetically to Mr. Dai.

Mr. Dai waved his hand and said, "You go ahead and do your thing. I'll take this opportunity to memorize the manuscript. I'm getting old and I can't remember the articles."

"Ah."

Yu Zhengyuan responded and followed Zhou Xuan out of the backstage.

"Where is Xiaoli?"

"Sister-in-law didn't look for you, I was the one who looked for you." Zhou Xuan admitted generously.

"In such a serious occasion, you are playing a prank on Senior Brother?" Yu Zhengyuan stroked his sleeves and was about to go backstage again.

His only goal today was to serve Mr. Dai well.

After negotiating business deals in Pingshui Prefecture for many years, Yu Zhengyuan had accumulated a very good reputation. There were no less than twenty companies and factories that tried to poach him to be a professional manager.

What Yu Zhengyuan relies on is his dedication and focus, and his willingness to use his brain and heart.

Zhou Xuan grabbed the other person's clothes and said, "Big Brother, look at those people who are listening to the opera, pay attention to their feet!"

Yu Zhengyuan didn’t know what kind of medicine Zhou Xuanhulu was selling, but he did it anyway.

He lowered his head and looked around for a long time, and finally he figured out the key point.

"You mean this? It's quite normal."

"normal?"

There are at least several hundred people listening to the opera, and a small half of them are sneaky and tiptoeing, leaving no shadow. You call this normal.

Then explain what is abnormal?
"It's normal. The villagers in the Huilang River area are used to being poor. Years ago, they ate and drank only tree bark. Even though they are rich now, they haven't forgotten their roots and still retain a hard life style.

For example, they don’t like to wear good shoes, but prefer to wear straw sandals woven by themselves, or even wear no shoes at all…Xiao Xuan, I have to say something about you. Our opera troupe makes a lot of money and our family is wealthy, but we can’t look down on others who wear straw sandals just because we wear leather shoes…”

What a mess!

So he's changing channels again?
Big Brother, I want you to look at their heels. Who cares whether they are wearing straw sandals or leather shoes?!
"Look at their heels. Many of them are standing on tiptoe."

Zhou Xuan reminded the key point.

Yu Zhengyuan was a person who was willing to listen at heart. He did not show any impatience. He lowered his head and looked around a few more times, then nodded and spoke.

“Hearing what you said, there are a few people standing on tiptoe, which is normal. Although there are few opera fans in Huilang River and most of them are there to watch the fun, there are still a few people who really love to listen to opera.

They were at the back, and their view was blocked by the people in front of them, so they couldn't see the actors' figures and movements. They had no choice but to stand on tiptoe. As the old saying goes, 'Stand high and see far.'"

Yu Zhengyuan spoke sincerely and carefully, so Zhou Xuan naturally would not think that he was just skimming the surface and was just trying to fool him with his words.

Can,
why,
The scenes the two people saw were completely different?
"Big Brother, take a closer look. Are there any shadows of those people standing on tiptoe in your eyes?"

Yu Zhengyuan took a look and said, "Yes...You're saying that, it's strange. If this person has no shadow, wouldn't he be a ghost?"

"Hmm... maybe I was mistaken. I thought I saw something extraordinary."

Zhou Xuan did not continue to argue. The two people saw such a big difference in the scenery. In the case that neither of them lied, there was only one explanation - Zhou Xuan could see "things" that normal people could not see.

A bit like,
Seeing dirty things and communicating with spirits?

New abilities, or just the same weird condition as white noise?
Never mind what it is for now.

Zhou Xuan couldn't be sure whether this special "ability" would expose his identity as the "fake Zhou Xuan" once it was displayed.

My identity is exposed, and my sister's tricks...

From an emotional point of view, he is willing to help the Zhou family - this is his own business, and whether he can get away with it in the future depends on how well the team is run.

But the prerequisite for enjoying lying down is that you have to be alive.

The dead don't enjoy themselves.

Zhou Xuan didn't like taking risks, so he didn't go any further into the topic.

"I'm going to go back and serve Mr. Dai first. Xiao Xuan, don't take it to heart... Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, not to mention that you have a strange disease."

Speaking of strange diseases,

Zhou Xuan suddenly remembered that the white noise had not occurred once since he got up.

This doesn't make sense.

Yesterday the white noise was very frequent, but today it was silent.

Thinking of the abnormality of the white noise, he sat back on the bench and took out the business card from his pocket.

The business card is gilded and the workmanship is very delicate. On the back is a painting of a solemn temple with a statue of Maitreya Buddha enshrined.

But the Buddha statues give people a weird feeling.

Although it has a big belly and squinting eyes and smiles, Zhou Xuan always feels that this Buddha statue is very feminine.

Bad temperament.

He couldn't tell what was wrong.

Turn the business card to the front - Pingshui Prefecture Shande Hospital, pharmacy doctor Du Kaili.

Judging from the name, this is a hospital under the Shan De Hui.

Mr. Dai is a member of the Shan De Society.

The division of labor in hospitals nowadays is not that detailed, and there are usually only four or five areas.

Outpatient clinic, convalescent ward, general ward, and pharmacy.

Hospitals with good service attitude and strong financial resources will also set up a pharmacy.

A pharmacy is a department that specializes in dispensing medicine.

Can a person who prescribes medicine cure a brain disease like white noise?

Zhou Xuan was somewhat suspicious, and at the same time, he was even more suspicious of Dai's motives. He wondered if it was a trap waiting for him to fall into.

"Let's make an appointment with my sister some other day and go together."

With Zhou Lingyi, a highly skilled deity by my side, I am not afraid of any tricks.

One force can defeat ten!

Zhou Xuan put away his business card, went to the announcer to get the program list, first listened to the play on the stage, then found the current excerpt on the list, and after comparing them, he realized that this underworld play was only two paragraphs away from the end.

In the current situation, those "people" who were standing on tiptoe without any shadow were not moving, and they just stayed where they were with their heads down.

Maybe it’s because people love to listen to opera and it’s “dirty”.

When Zhou Xuan was a ghost, although he was summoned by will to go to Muhun City, whenever he saw something lively on the roadside, he would force himself to stop and watch for a while.

Ghosts were also human beings in their previous lives, and as humans they have some preferences.

Why bother with them? The show is over and then everyone will go home.

While Zhou Xuan was pondering, cheers suddenly came from the theater.

"It's coming, it's coming, the wait was not in vain!"

"That's right, it's Liu Jiaotian. Wow, this show is worthy of being hosted by Mr. Dai."

"That's right. Mr. Dai has a lot of face. I heard that last time Liu Jiansheng's mother died, he spent 30,000 yuan but still couldn't invite Liu Jiaotian."

The "person" standing on tiptoe did not make any noise, but the living people listening to the opera had voices that were louder than each other, one wave of noise becoming louder than the other, making the theater hot.
