Section 21
He hurriedly took the red string his mother had asked for from the temple, changed into a red dress to ward off evil spirits, and came to the office with a large box of snacks.
"Reported so soon?"
In the information age, network communications are developed. Looking at the comments under the news, Jiang Ran suddenly had a fresh idea. To refute rumors to Chen Ruomei, perhaps you can use the developed networks and media.
However, this matter has to be discussed with Wang Qing, and the police need to cooperate, so he temporarily put it in his heart. Turning to look at Xue Meng, he cared: "How do you feel? Is there anything uncomfortable?"
Xue Meng shook his head. After vomiting yesterday, he slept again, and when he got up, he was full of energy.
But he was still a little worried, lowered his voice and asked, "Have you resolved those things?"

Jiang Ran nodded: "It has been solved, and the finishing work has been handed over to the police."
Xue Meng's heart completely fell back into his stomach. He didn't ask much about last night's wit, only said: "When will your brother and Master Chen be free? I have to thank you for your life-saving if I have a chance."
Jiang Ran silently reacted to who his brother was.
After reacting, wanted to explain, but felt too complicated and unclear, so simply acquiesced in this title. @∞好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City
"I'll call you next time they come."
Xue Meng returned to his place with joy.
On Thursday, Jiang Ran will go to another community to preach on flu prevention, so he is preparing for the preaching work tomorrow all day today. Fortunately, Xue Meng's "cold" was cured, and the remaining three communities announced that he took the initiative to share the past, and Jiang Ran's work was not too heavy.
After busying for a long time, Jiang Ran stretched out, got up and poured a cup of hot water. He had to rest his eyes on the document for most of the day.
Seeing that he was idle, Suan ran over from Uncle Zhou with the jerky, jumped easily on his lap, and claws pushed the jerky in front of him, beckoning him to eat.
Uncle Zhou likes 狻猊 very much. Since the first time he gave away the cat litter he made, all kinds of small toys and snacks have not been broken. It hurts to treat him as a grandson.
Jiang Ran rubbed his round ears, divided the jerky into two halves, ate one piece by himself, and fed the other piece into his mouth.
Sui squinted his eyes and lay on his lap, fluttering his hairy tail comfortably.
Jiang Ran smiled, picked up the phone and looked at it.
I was obsessed with work and never read the news, but now realize that Ying Qiao has sent him several messages.
Ying Qiao told him that the two sisters and brothers of the Red Ghost umbrella had been transferred to the Demon Administration Bureau and were temporarily detained in the supervision office. The bureau is still debating how to convict and sentence the brothers and sisters.
According to the brothers and sisters, their bodies were damaged thousands of years ago, and their consciousness fell into a deep sleep, floating around in the form of spores. It was Chen Ruomei's blood and resentment when she fell into the well that awakened their consciousness. The siblings had just woke up at that time and were still very weak, so they made a deal with Chen Ruomei. It was originally agreed that Chen Ruomei would voluntarily become the nourishment of the brothers and sisters. In exchange, the brothers and sisters helped her get revenge.
But it was probably that Chen Ruomei's experience was so tragic that even the siblings couldn't pass it. In the end, she only absorbed her grievances, and did not touch her soul. Even when avenging her, the siblings took the initiative to expand the scope of revenge. Not only did Xu Meifang retaliate against the three people, but even the people who spread the rumors in the community did not let go.
Originally, the starting point of the sisters and brothers was not a big evil, but the bad thing is that after they released a large number of spores to parasitize the human body, they began to lose control of greed. The red ghost umbrella needs a lot of nutrients to regenerate. They want to treat ordinary people It is also absorbed as a nutrient. Had it not been for Jiang Rian to stop them in time, Xu Ruomei might not be the only one who would suffer in the end.
Therefore, the bureau is currently discussing appropriate sentencing for the violent revenge and harm to human beings by the brothers and sisters.
Nowadays, the number of monsters is scarce. If it weren't for the vicious monsters, the monsters who committed crimes were rarely put to death directly.
Ying Qiao told Jiang Ran that the biggest possibility now is to let the two brothers and sisters stay in the supervision and punishment, and labor reform.
Demon like the two brothers and sisters who have not yet adapted to human society and accidentally went astray, can still be rescued.
And their abilities are very suitable for staying in the supervision office.
The spores released by the two red ghost umbrellas can be monitored to the corners of the supervision office, which is really economical and easy.
Jiang Ran asked about where Chen Ruomei's soul went and how to deal with ordinary people parasitized by spores.
Ying Qiao said that after Chen Ruomei was supervised by the next door chief, he sent her to reincarnation.
As for the ordinary people parasitized, the red ghost umbrella brothers and sisters have recalled the parasitic spores. Most people estimate that they will have a cold and cough for a few days, and it will gradually get better.
At this point in this case, the part in charge of the Demon Management Bureau is over. The rest of the work needs to be handled by the police. @∞好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City
After Jiang Ran responded to Ying Qiao's message, he sent another message to Wang Qing, telling him the idea of refuting Chen Ruomei with the help of the Internet and the media.
Later, Wang Qing reported it to Chen Ruomei, and the official propaganda spoke to Chen Ruomei to refute the rumors. He also used this case as a warning to the public, guiding the public to be cautious in their words and deeds, and beware of rumors inadvertently harming people... But this It's all a story.
After another day of publicity, it was Friday in a blink of an eye. When he went to work in the afternoon, Jiang Ran received a call from his uncle.
Your uncle was originally a large turtle, and he was the prime minister of the Dragon Palace when the Dragon King was still there in the early years. Later, the Dragon King fell, and Fang Kuan took over the Dragon Palace. The younger brothers who were living outside were retrieved by him one by one, and the uncle took on the job of taking care of the dragon.
It wasn't until recent years that your uncle was getting older, and the dragons who were still left the Dragon Palace one after another, that he led a retirement life. However, although he no longer cares about other chores, he must personally take care of the dragons.
For example, Jiang Ran’s new clothes each season are prepared by his uncle himself.
This time Jiaotu woke up and wanted to find Jiang Ran, which was also delivered by your uncle himself.
On the phone, your uncle's tone was hesitant, and he was a little cautious: "His Royal Highness refuses to stay at home alone. He wants to come to the work unit to find you."
Since the last time that the Dragon Palace formation greatly sent Jiang Ran to the Monster Bureau, his true identity was exposed and he hadn't made friends for nearly a year, Jiang Ran did not allow the Dragon Palace people to go to the unit to find him.
But now Jiaotu refused to stay at home alone, and wanted to find Jiang Ran, his uncle hesitated a little.
I heard that His Highness Five is getting along well with his colleagues in the new unit. If they leave and reveal their identities, they are afraid that His Highness Five will hide again and become sulking.
But I didn't expect Jiang Ran to speak very well this time: "It's okay, you can send him here."
Uncle Gui happily sighed immediately, leaving a few prawns and crabs behind, and instructed them to clean the house. After all the things they brought, he drove to the street office with Jiaotu.
Jiang Ran waited at the gate of the street office in advance, and when he saw a familiar car approaching, he immediately beckoned.
Uncle Gui got out of the car, looked at Jiang Rian lovingly for a long while, and smiled; "His Royal Highness has gained a little weight."
Jiang Ran subconsciously touched his face: "Is there?"
Your uncle affirmed: "Yes, my complexion is much better than before. Your Royal Highness must like it very much."
Compared with before, the current Xiaotaotie is almost full of spirit, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows are full of spirit.
Jiang Ran laughed, then looked at the co-pilot: "Where is Xiao Jiu?"
"His Royal Highness Nine is hard to get to the far door, and he is still a little afraid, and he refuses to come out in the aquarium."
Speaking of this, a trace of helplessness appeared in your uncle's eyes, he opened the trunk, and there was a big aquarium inside.
The aquarium is filled with half of the sea water, and the bottom is covered with soft white sand. Multicolored gems are faintly visible in the fine sand. There are also clumps of colorful corals shaking gently in the water.
In the deepest part of the coral bush, there is a conch shell the size of two adult men's fists. The background color of the conch shell is shiny pearl white, with red and yellow polka dot patterns occasionally distributed regularly. Around the polka dot pattern, a circle of brilliant pearl gems is inlaid, making the snail shell look very gorgeous. It's like an exquisite handicraft.
Jiang Ran bent down, tapped his fingers on the glass lightly, and said softly: "Nine-nine? Brother Fifth is here to pick you up."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the water wave in front of the shell swaying slightly. First, a pair of small dragon horns came out, followed by a pair of black eyes, Jiao Tu poked out half of his head, rejoicing Then he greeted him in a low voice shyly: "Fifth brother."
Jiang Ran stretched out his hand and nodded his little corner: "Why are you still so shy? There is no one else here."
Jiao Tu was more courageous when he heard the words, and leaned out half of his body. It was a miniature white fat dragon. The little fat dragon rubbed his head against his hand, and then a little shy, the whole dragon retracted into the shell, only the tip of the tail was exposed, dyed with a light pink.
Jiang Ran was so cute by him, he couldn't help but squeezed the tip of his tail, and said warmly: "The aquarium is too big to take to the office. May I hold you in?"
His voice was very soft, for fear of frightening his brother.
Among the nine brothers, Jiao Tu is the most docile and harmless. He is timid and weak, so he sleeps in his snail shell most of the time. Jiang Ran still remembered that when he was taken back to the Dragon Palace by his eldest brother, Jiaotu was scared and went into hiding. It took half a month for the demon of the Manlong Palace to find him inside and out before turning him out of a viewing scallop.
Later, the eldest brother came to the battle himself to comfort him. Make him believe that the fierce glutton is the fifth brother who has just returned home, not the monster who came to eat him.
Jiang Ran still clearly remembered the situation at that time. Although he was terribly scared, even the little dragon's horns were shaking, but he still restrained his fear, poked his head out carefully, and called him quietly. Brother Five.
It was this "fifth brother" that made him feel a sense of belonging to the Dragon Palace suddenly, and he stayed in the Dragon Palace willingly.
Later, in order to prevent Jiao Tu from being afraid of him, he struggled to collect a bunch of beautiful pearls and gems, and gave them one every day. After coaxing them for several years, he finally made Jiao Tu not afraid of him.
You must know that Jiaotu's most precious thing is the snail shell he is carrying. Every time he wakes up, he has to scrub it with the baby, and then select the favorite gem from the newly saved collection, and carefully set it on the snail shell.
This time when Jiao Tu was awake in Jiangcheng, the decorative gems on the shells were naturally new. Jiang Ran first seriously praised the beauty of the new gems, and then reached out and hugged Jiao Tu, who was still shy.
Uncle Gui handed the handkerchief, Jiang Ran took it and wiped the water stains on the snail shell, and then took his brother into his arms.
"Just keep the aquarium at home, you can't put it in the office."
Jiang Ran said to his uncle: "With Little Eight as company, 9-9 is fine if he is not in the water."
Jiaotu is courageous and carries a snail shell on his back. He always feels insecure when he is alone on land. Therefore, he is rarely willing to leave the sea. This time came out to find Jiang Ran, and they all mustered a lot of courage.
Your uncle responded, and urged, "The house has been cleaned up again, and the clothes have been put in the closet. When you go home, remember to try it first. The food is also stored in the refrigerator. Eat fresh as soon as possible..."
The old man would inevitably be nagging when he was getting older. Jiang Ran was not impatient at all. He only sent him away after he finished his chanting.
When the car drove far, Jiang Ran returned to the office with his brother in his arms.
As soon as turned around, saw Xiao Xiaoyu staring at the car that was just driving away.
He felt tight, thinking if Xiao Xiaoyu had discovered something, he listened to her crouching, watching Jiang Ran's eyes light up: "Rolls-Royce Phantom, Jiang Ran is so rich in your family?"
——When Jiang Ran came out, he said that his family came to give him something.
Fortunately, it wasn't discovered... Jiang Ran just breathed a sigh of relief, and soon became a little nervous again. He had heard of human beings who are too rich, and it is difficult to integrate into the circle of ordinary people. He was afraid that after Xiao Xiaoyu knew about it, he would feel uncomfortable with him.
Who knows that Xiao Xiaoyu just snorted, and then excitedly said: "If Xue Meng sees it, he might be able to perform on the spot eating lemons. Then crying bitterly, holding your thigh and begging you to let him touch the steering wheel."
Xue Meng likes cars, and the Rolls-Royce Phantom is his dream car. He probably wants to touch the steering wheel in his dreams.
Jiang Ran laughed at what she said, and blinked at her: "Then don't let him know."
Xiao Xiaoyu glanced at him, and both of them smiled.
Back at the office, Jiang Ran put Jiao Tu on the back of his desk.
The Jiao map shrunk in the snail shell is like an exquisite handicraft at this time, staying motionless on the tabletop.
Jiang Ran approached him and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm right by your side."
The Jiao Tu in the shell wiggled the dragon's horns slightly.
Suan was struggling to jump onto the table with his own treasured dried fish at this time. He turned around the shell, raised his claws and knocked on the shell, and then pushed a bag of dried fish into the shell with his claws., Meowed happily, as a greeting.
Hearing the movement, Jiao Tu stretched out his small paw, pressed his paw in response, and quickly retracted.
After a while, an empty packaging bag was pushed out of the shell.
Sui Sui squinted happily, pushed a bag of small fish into it, and happily fed his brother.
...
The three brothers spent an afternoon in the office happily.
When she got off work, she put the shell on her head and couldn't wait to push the little brother into her bag.When Jiang Ran saw this, he hugged Jiao Tu, nodded with his fingertips on Suan's forehead, and said, "Jiu Jiu just came, I will show him the way first."
Suan whimpered and could only get into the bag by himself.
Jiang Ran put the bag on his back, held Jiao Tu in his arms, and the three brothers went home together.
Because he wants to take his brother to recognize the way, Jiang Ran is going to walk home today. But as soon as I got out of the office, I saw Uncle Zhou smiling and beckoning to him: "Jiang Ran, your brother is here to pick you up."
Jiang Ran was stunned, and saw Ying Qiao walking out from behind Uncle Zhou-where he stood just now was just around the corner, Jiang Ran's sight was blocked, and he did not see him.
He suddenly realized something, and subconsciously wanted to hide Jiao Tu, but found that Ying Qiao's gaze had fallen into his arms, his gaze was still slightly puzzled.
Jiang Ran bit his scalp and hugged his younger brother to greet him: "Why are you here?"
Ying Qiao's eyes were glued, and he stared at the snail shell in his arms motionlessly. If he is not dizzy, the gems inlaid on the shell... are all real.
"This is...?" His tone was still calm, although he was puzzled, he was still waiting for Jiang Ran to explain.
He didn't think the little monster would lie to him.
Jiang Ran subconsciously touched the snail shell. The more guilty he was, the wider his eyes were, and he looked very innocent. He lifted the Jiao Tu slightly and said as naturally as possible: "This is my little cousin. Play here for a while."
It turned out to be my cousin... Ying Qiao's doubts disappeared. Looking at the simple dress of the little monster, and then looking at the gems inlaid on the large conch, it became more and more difficult for the little monster.
He was silent for a moment, but still couldn't help asking: "Your cousin looks quite rich, why are you..." So poor?
He remembered that the little monster had always taken his brother alone, and recalled the day of the blind date when he said he had eight brothers to raise.He always thought it was an exaggerated statement, but now he was compared with a rich little cousin who suddenly appeared, and he was suddenly not sure whether this statement was true or false.
Ying Qiao made up a horrible drama in his brain, all of the little monsters being forced to leave their homes, struggling with his younger brother to make a living in the human society.
Jiang Ran hugged his younger brother's hands tightly, his heart beating.
How can this be explained?!
He lowered his head with a guilty conscience, desperately trying to say goodbye.But the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't make up. He bit his lip subconsciously, because he was too nervous and bit his lips deeply.
Is it going to overturn?
Will the boat of friendship capsize?
He was not ready to confess at all!
Just when he was flushed with anxiety, he heard Ying Qiao sigh deeply, and then put a pair of big hands on him.
