Soul-eating Golden Coffin - C45
Zhang Shan stayed in the hospital for more than a month before he reluctantly left.
In order to celebrate his release from the hospital, I decided to call Ni Qian over to treat him to a big meal tonight. The location was the night market snack bar at the north gate of the provincial stadium.
It’s not that I’m stingy, for someone as carefree as Zhang Shan, letting him sit in a high class restaurant at the moment was no less than torture. This guy was on top of the mountain. If he went into the forest, he wouldn’t get lost even after ten days to half a month. However, in the city, they were like headless flies, unable to move an inch. I called the ward and told him over and over again how many buses to take, where to stop, where to wait. To Zhang Shan, such a simple matter like helplessness was like listening to a scripture of heaven. I just told him to wait outside the hospital. I’ll be there when I get off work, and then I’ll bring him along.
The unit is very far from the night market, but very far from the hospital. When I brought him to the north gate of the gymnasium, Ni Qian had already stood there and waited for nearly half an hour.
“Hello, my name is Ni Qian!” The girl didn’t blame us for being late, and politely extended her hand out towards Zhang Shan.
“I knew it was a relative of yours. What relationship have you not mentioned before?” After sitting down and ordering some food, Ni Qian asked us.
“He’s my cousin!”
“This is my Martial Uncle!”
We both answered at the same time.
“Pfft!” Ni Qian laughed, “Your relationship is really chaotic, are you even a Martial Uncle of someone else? Who is your master? What do you know? Teach them. ”
“Mm …” I coughed to hide my embarrassment, “Cousin is a relative, master and disciple are seniority, so we can’t be confused. I am a designer, I can teach Zhang Shan how to design them! ”
“What’s a designer?” Zhang Shan was afraid that he would say something wrong, so he pulled me from under the table and asked.
His voice was already loud, and his soft voice sounded no different from other people’s. Ni Qian was even more amused when she heard it. Fortunately, the food was served, so we talked while we ate. The things here really suited Zhang Shan’s appetite. He had mutton skewers in his left hand and lobster in her right, but she was still drinking beer nonstop.
During the banquet, what Zhang Shan would do from now on became a topic of discussion. According to my meaning, I should go up the mountain as soon as possible to find his master and get rid of the snake gall as soon as possible. But Zhang Shan refused to give up and insisted on staying in the Zheng Province for a period of time. In his opinion, barging into the provincial capital was a very glorious thing. For them to be able to visit the county city at the foot of the mountain and even be willing to spend money to eat, and then buy some things to come back, was enough to boast for several days.
Now, even though he had been here for more than a month, he didn’t have a single cent. Other than an underground dugout and a hospital, he didn’t go anywhere else. He would not go back, he thought, it would be too humiliating, and he would have to stay for a month or two, until he could earn some money and buy something to take back. However, he could only agree and make him promise that as long as he could earn the first sum of money, he would return to the mountain to see his master and find out the whereabouts of his grandfather.
Soon after, another question surfaced. Where would this guy live in the future?
Ni Qian’s family is outside of the city, and we had previously discussed to rent a house together. She suggested that Zhang Shan should just live with us, and rent two rooms, one hall, and the other room for Zhang Shan. I don’t know if it was because Zhang Shan was afraid of being a light bulb or some other reason, but he was determined not to fight it out with me.
However, when I said that, he looked at me with wide eyes and said seriously, “Of course. I have something to do for you, so naturally I have to use your money.” It doesn’t make sense to spend my money to help you, does it? ”
In the end, we did everything we could, but he firmly refused our invitation. I had no choice but to pay a few hundred dollars as his living expenses for the next few days. I didn’t expect this fellow to smile mysteriously and take out an envelope for me to take a look. Surprisingly, it is a thousand dollars.
I asked him where the money came from. He said that Soong Dongfeng had sent it. Originally, that fellow was going to give him 10,000 yuan, but Zhang Shan had never seen so much money before.
After I heard this, I felt very upset, so I asked him, “I’m curious, but I don’t want to help you. That guy gave you money, and you want it? Since you two have such a good relationship, why don’t you agree to it? ”
“That’s not the same! You are my Martial Uncle, you are a family. Besides the Corpse Supporting Spell, we have also contributed to the stability and unity of society. “Take his money, that’s what you deserve.” the fellow boasted as he downed the rest of the beer in one gulp.
I smiled bitterly.
After eating my fill, I gave Zhang Shan the phone that I had used to soak in the river and then repaired. This fellow was determined to keep it. It wasn’t until I said that I would lend it to him for convenience and not return it to me after borrowing it did I reluctantly accept it as though it was a treasure. It could be seen that he was rather interested in the phone. I had already changed my cell phone, so it was useless for the old one to keep it.
Originally, he wanted to tell Zhang Shan when he had no money to pay me back so that he could pay for it. However, when I thought of his attitude, I decided to hold back and not tell him. Whenever my phone is unable to reach him, I will just go and fill it up for him. He didn’t know how to pay for the phone, either.
Coming out of the roadside stall, Zhang Shan said that he wouldn’t let us help him arrange a place to stay. He even said that he would find them and when he had time he would contact me again, he immediately ran off, as if he was escaping. The only ones left were the two of us, who didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
My life is back to normal, still eating, working, sleeping this boring trilogy. In the meantime, Ni Qian and I had an older sister who shared a two-room apartment. I had nothing to do with them, and the three of us spent a lot of time cooking and playing cards together. Furthermore, most of the time, I would return home to stay. With someone accompanying Ni Qian at night, I feel more at ease.
As for the ‘Dream Record’, I only flipped through it two or three times when I got back. I don’t have this kind of ambition. Why would I want to learn it? Besides, I firmly believe in the principle of sharpening one’s spear while in battle. Even if Soong Dongfeng were to drag me into something in the future, it wouldn’t be too late to learn again. In addition, I’ve already carefully memorized the first part of “Good and Evil”. I can roughly grasp some of the basic techniques, and that’s more than enough. What do you mean stepping on the Profound Gate, opening the Spiritual Eye, urging others to do nothing, breaking through the illusion, everything is on the same side as my life. It’s fine as long as you know it, I’m not willing to try everything, who knows what kind of rare thing could happen?
Just like Zhang Shan had said, in this world, 99.99% of people were naturally kind-hearted, how could there be so many Nightmare Terrors for them to accept? As his material and spiritual life became richer and richer, he was afraid that he would soon reach the end of his career as a Palmprint Holder.
On the other hand, I studied that glass eyeball called the Pupillary Seal for a long time. I even tried to do the same with my right hand, but there was no response.
Helpless, I can only treat it as a handicraft. I find a base and place it on the table in my bedroom. However, I didn’t know that it was this thing that almost made me tread on the road of no return.
The weather gradually turned cold, and the winter air became denser and denser. One night, just after work, I walked out of the office and was about to go to the garage to push my 98-year-old permanent bike when my shoulder was put back on.
I laughed in my heart. Who could be so ignorant? It’s been a long time since anyone has dared to pat me on the shoulder. Just at that moment, I used my “Finger Breaking Technique” and grabbed two of his fingers and twisted them.
“Aiyo!” Pain! Pain! “Let go of your fucking hands.” A voice that he hadn’t heard for a long time came from behind.
I shook and let go of my fingers to turn around and punch him in the chest. I didn’t use any strength and shouted in surprise, “Liu!”
Liu Yunlong is back! This fellow was clutching the finger that I had twisted in pain. His face was filled with hatred.
“How did you know I was working here?” I asked excitedly while holding Liu Yunlong’s shoulder.
“Tsk …” If I can’t even investigate such a small matter, then as a top student of the investigation department, wouldn’t my efforts be in vain? Furthermore, you are not any high level character. If I didn’t have any malicious intent, would I have let you catch me just like this? ” Liu said disdainfully, his tone was still full of humor.
“You’re not leaving?”
“What? It’s not like I’m going to steal your wife. You don’t welcome me when I come back? ”
“Haha!” Welcome! “Let’s go, I’ll treat you tonight and give you a welcoming reception!” I didn’t care. I stopped riding the bike and dragged the guy to a nearby restaurant.
Initially, he had also wanted to call Zhang Shan to liven things up. Firstly, there had been no news of Zhang Shan since he was released and it had been almost a month. He didn’t know to give me a call, so I have no idea about his current situation. Furthermore, I also want him to get to know Liu Yunlong. These two people are full of confidence and shamelessness, they will definitely wet themselves in the same pot. But I called this guy a few times, either no one answered or couldn’t get through. I don’t know what kind of plane he was on. We had no choice but to eat.
This time, Liu Yunlong had returned from studying successfully and was assigned to the Criminal Police Headquarters. He was specifically responsible for investigating and resolving all kinds of criminal cases. Of course, the rookies who had just arrived had no experience in handling cases. They only poured tea into their cups, followed by a meeting, and then listened to how the veterans analyzed the case and grasped the clues. He was lucky enough to be able to occasionally follow them out of the scene and take care of the aftermath of the crime.
Looking at his one hundred pound, nearly 1.8m telephone pole body, I ridiculed him, “You think you can catch a criminal with such a small body? “Don’t say that he was blind because he was pecked by an eagle!”
How could Liu Yunlong be willing to give in? He immediately retorted, “What do you know! Don’t look at how thin your brother is, he has tendons all over his body. “I’ll tell you what, be more honest in Zhengzhou in the future and don’t let any flaws fall into my hands. I’m afraid that my brothers won’t recognize me then.”
“Come on …” You new soldier, you want to come up and make first class achievements? “To put it bluntly, you’re the seventy year old lady that’s watching the gate in that courtyard right now.”
“What do you mean?”
“I can only catch thieves up to eighty.”
“Holy sh * t!” I didn’t bring a gun today, otherwise … ”
“Why else?”
“I’ll charge you ten dollars first!” Another half an hour! ”
“Go!” Go back and take it! This grandpa is waiting for you here, you little prick … I won’t believe you today! ”
“Just you wait!” Let me tell you, if you have the ability, don’t run! If I don’t come back and settle the score with you within twenty years, my surname is not Liu! ”
“Sigh!” Sigh! Come back! Give me back my wallet! “I haven’t paid the bill yet …”
“Hehe, are you afraid? “If you’re scared, then admit your wrongs. This brother will forgive you.”
“There’s no door. Go get your gun!” There’s no money in the wallet, and I never put it there. ”
“Holy shit, you really don’t have a cent? Then why do you kick your wallet all day long? ”
“Hehe, that’s precisely to prevent people like you. Ai? Aren’t you going to get a gun? Why did you sit down again? ”
I’ll eat before I go!” Shooting people was a manual labor. It was impossible to not be full. Hurry up, you can’t be sloppy when it’s time to send off your food! He would eat his fill and set off on his journey. “Come on, this dish of lamb and scallions will belong to you!
“Holy sh * t …”
The waiters looked at us in horror.
On the third day after eating dinner with Liu Yunlong, I rode a bike to grandpa’s house to deliver some things, following mother’s orders. When they reached the underground road (a famous place in Zhengzhou, a few dozen meters north of the railway station, just west of the Red East Film Theatre), the Central Plains Road had to pass under the railway line, forming an underground tunnel several hundred meters long. ), in the middle of a row of stalls, a figure who was clearly twice the size of the others caught my eye.
