Chapter 118 Moving
Chapter 118 Moving
"Master, could you please help me move these boxes into the yard? Yes, yes, just leave them there. The remaining things here are too broken. We can clean them up ourselves later. Thank you."
In the small courtyard behind Yaoshan Temple, Xu Yichi directed the masters of the moving company to move several large boxes of belongings that they had just picked up from the logistics company this morning into the yard one by one.
"Wow! These are the things Jianxian and the others packed and sent. They arrived pretty fast."
The movers showed a very high level of professionalism, and they moved more than a dozen boxes that were almost half a person's height in less than half an hour.
Bai Miaomiao, who had just finished cleaning the living room, saw this and couldn't help but pick up the broom and knock on the box. Xu Yichi, who was busy checking the logistics waybill and paying the service fee to the masters, hurriedly turned around and glanced at her, then nodded lightly:
"Yes, Jianxian and the others sent it. All our belongings should be here... The service fee is 500, and I've scanned it for you."
——In fact, the three of them didn’t bring much with them this time. Since the B&B over there expired last week, they immediately packed their suitcases and checked into Yaoshan Temple.
But for the seven girls far away in their "base camp", moving was not as easy as it was for them - especially because the large trucks of the logistics company could not drive into the back mountain of the Taoist temple. They were also embarrassed to exploit Lu Shinian, the unlucky Taoist who had to run errands for Chen Yingsheng all day long. So they simply said hello to Taoist Chen and invited the masters of the moving company to help transport the things.
Otherwise, the three of them would have a hard time moving these dozen or so cardboard and wooden boxes that were half a person tall and filled with all kinds of belongings.
"What did they send..." Bai Miaomiao muttered with her head down as she paced around the pile of boxes, poking here and there with a broomstick from time to time. The things in the boxes felt a little soft when poked, like clothes or bedding.
Xu Dasheng shrugged in response: "What can I have? Just some daily wear... plus a computer for eating."
"Oh yeah, and the motion capture equipment we ordered last week has also arrived today. Judging from the packaging, it should be the small wooden box with the trademark over there."
"Tsk... the food and fodder must be sent before the troops move. These little bastards are very good at this." Bai Miaomiao, who finally put down the broomstick, smacked her lips leisurely, "By the way, where are the others? The stuff has arrived, but the people haven't arrived yet?"
"Oh, they'll be here soon." Xu Yichi answered casually while unpacking the boxes. "The cook will bring your three-member art and modeling team tonight, and Jianxian will bring the remaining two tomorrow morning."
"——Our rental contract has not expired yet. Jianxian has to take the two families to the local landlord to deal with the house issue. Let's see whether they can just pay some penalty and move out, or continue to rent the house but ask the two of them to clean the house regularly and not damage the furniture in the house."
"Yeah, that's right." Bai Miaomiao nodded, then went into the house and called An Qing out to help move the equipment.
There has been no rain in the past two days, so there is no need to rush those girls' clothes and bedding into the house. Just wait until everyone is present and let them clean up by themselves - but the computer and the motion capture equipment cannot be left behind, as they are still waiting to catch up with the progress!
The girl in Hanfu ran very quickly in these two steps. Xu Yichi stared at her hurried back for a moment, then turned around and continued to study how to open the small wooden box that contained their precious motion capture equipment.
It can be seen that the manufacturer who shipped the goods was very worried that their equipment would be damaged during transportation. Not only were the nails on the boxes hammered in circles, but the high-density foam that could be seen through the boxes also looked like it was piled up layer upon layer.
This packaging is really good.
But there is no buckle on it, how should she take it off?
——We can't ask her to borrow an axe from the little Taoist priests in the mountains and chop the box open by force, right?
Wouldn't that damage the camera inside? Xu Yichi was in a dilemma as she surrounded the wooden box that was barely half a fist taller than her calf. While she was struggling, there was a knock on the door outside the yard.
The little girl was just about to say that the door was not closed and that she could just come in if she had anything to say, but when she turned around, she saw Lu Shinian, who usually wore a Taoist robe meticulously and neatly.
As a result, the embarrassment that Xu Dasheng had just been holding in her heart immediately dissipated. Her eyes lit up, and she stood up with a smile and dragged the young man into the yard.
"Master Jiazi, why are you here? Come in quickly! I can't find my axe and I'm worried about how to open this box!"
"...My master heard that you called a moving team today, and was worried that you had a problem that you couldn't handle, so he asked me to come and see if there was anything I could help with." Lu Shinian pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment, then lowered his head and glanced at Xu Yichi's two claws grabbing his sleeves, hesitant to speak.
He was really tired of saying the word "self-respect", but Xu Fuzhu seemed to be completely unaware of it.
Sometimes he really wondered if this girl treated him as a sister because Taoists had to wear their hair in a bun - although he was confident that his lines were not so soft that it was difficult to tell whether he was male or female, or that he could not tell the difference between yin and yang.
And, he was straight.
Really not gay.
"Oh, then Master Chen is really foresighted... Come on, Master Jiazi, what I have here is a motion capture device - I'm still waiting to use this thing to capture movements and make plot animations!" Xu Da Producer nodded randomly, then changed the subject and pushed Lu Shinian in front of the box again.
Lu Shinian, who was forced to do something, lowered his head and stared at the wooden box carefully for a moment, and then he relaxed his lips slightly: "This is an ordinary wooden box with a top and bottom lid, Master Xu."
"It's just that the manufacturer was afraid that the lid would fall apart during transportation and things would fall out, so they specially hammered a few nails on the top of the box to secure it. I'll bring you a claw hammer later... Just lift it up a little bit."
"Well... then I'll trouble you later, Taoist Master Jiazi." Xu Yichi seemed to be thinking about it after hearing it, and then decisively and happily pushed the task to the young man.
"...Okay." Lu Shinian struggled slightly in his heart, but after a few breaths he chose to give up.
In fact, after more than a week of getting along, he was almost accustomed to being ordered around by Master Xu - after all, he was supposed to run errands for his master every day in the temple, and sometimes helping the girls to bring some things along the way did not affect his work.
It's just that sometimes he feels a little unhappy and wants everyone to be a little nervous with him.
Such as now.
