Chapter 162
Chen Miao still trusted Bailu. Although the contract had not yet been signed and he had only given a symbolic deposit of 10,000 yuan, he quickly began to arrange for the purchase of materials and contacted the construction workers at the same time. The company did not have many orders recently, and two of the three master craftsmen were idle.
Now that the matter was settled, Bailu stopped worrying. She stretched, closed her notebook, and pulled out a stack of talismans from the drawer.
She received a steady stream of referrals for her talismans—there are still many rich people in this world; the 20,000 yuan peace talisman has been consistently getting orders.
She picked up a talisman brush, dipped it in cinnabar, and began to draw on the talisman paper.
Drawing talismans is a test of patience. The spiritual energy input for each stroke must be even and precise. Any deviation may cause the talisman to lose its effect.
But for Bai Lu, who had already drawn hundreds of talismans, it was already a piece of cake; there was no other reason than practice makes perfect.
She no longer accepts repeat customers' orders, fearing divine retribution. Moreover, each talisman is now marked so that it can only be used by the person who created it.
Moreover, she has decided to retire from this business after finishing drawing this batch of talismans, otherwise, the karmic retribution would be terrible.
But after drawing only a few pictures, Bai Lu suddenly sensed a fluctuation coming from the array of Old Master Xu. Her eyes lit up and she secretly transmitted her voice to Bai Wei and Bai Chen: "We've got work to do, assemble."
Bai Chen and Bai Wei snapped out of their meditation and rushed into Bai Lu's room, shouting, "What job?!"
"Old Master Xu has made a move!"
Bai Chen said, "Finally, there's some movement! What are we waiting for? Let's go!"
Bai Lu knew what Bai Chen was talking about. She shook her head: "We have to drive there; the Ghost Path is restricted." "Huh?!" Bai Chen touched his right eye: "I knew I had a bad feeling. When I got home, my eyelids were twitching non-stop, and sure enough, something bad happened!"
"It's not that exaggerated. It's just temporarily unusable. Let's go, don't keep Grandpa Xu waiting."
Bai Lu opened the door and said to Qin Xiu and Bai Jiang, who were scrolling through short videos and dozing off, "Dad! Mom! We have something to do and need to go out for a bit. We'll be back later! You should go to sleep early."
Qin Xiu looked up: "Going out again? What's wrong with the three of you? Why are you always going out in the middle of the night? Where are you going? Who's with you?"
Bailu has a habit of never turning off the lights when she goes to sleep at night. She has never turned them off since she was a child. Several times when she got up at night, she found that her room was dark. Without a doubt, the person was not at home.
If she were to go out and date, that would be one thing, but every time she goes out, she brings Bai Chen and Bai Wei along, like two 800-watt third wheels. How can she possibly date like that?!
My daughter is twenty-six now, she'll be twenty-seven next year, and thirty in two more years!
It would be a lie to say Qin Xiu wasn't in a hurry. She kept hinting and suggesting that she find a boyfriend, but Qin Xiu just ignored her completely and didn't even respond!
but--
Going out to date in the middle of the night...
It's not exactly a safe thing either...
Qin Xiu's expression changed several times, looking quite distorted.
Bai Lu had no idea what her mother was thinking. As she shuffled downstairs in her slippers, she said, "Friend, you don't know her!"
Bai Chen and Bai Wei followed closely behind. Watching the three figures disappear down the stairs, Qin Xiu swallowed back the words she was about to say. Looking at the person playing the same video repeatedly, she was furious and slapped him: "I told you to go back to your room to sleep, but you wouldn't. You just stayed here clicking away. Your daughter is almost thirty, and you're not worried at all!"
