Chapter 33: A Chance Encounter
The interior of the jade shop is made of pure wood, and the various furnishings are also made of wood, and the style is very uniform, with some elegant taste.
The middle-aged man's movements were very fast, and with a cup of tea, he led a group of clerks with trays into the private room.
There was an object covered with red silk cloth in each tray, and the middle-aged man waved his hand to take off the covered flannel, and said respectfully to the Pu Demon Demon: "Mr. Pu, these are a new batch of jade with good texture. At your request, the ones selected are large and complete, and they are not processed too much. ”
The Pu Demon put down the teacup and walked over to take a closer look. The jade is delicate and transparent, and mostly complete. There were two pieces of jade the size of a basketball, which were carefully carried into the room by two people and placed on the table.
The Pu Demon touched two pieces of jade, one was yellow and the other was white, both of which were good jade, and more importantly, they contained more aura.
Pu Demon was very satisfied, looked at the jade in the other trays, picked out the good ones, and bought them with a wave of his hand: "I want these, Boss Jia calculates how many contribution points." ”
"Okay, good, right away, please wait a minute. "The Pu Demon asked for most of it this time, Boss Jia smiled so much that his eyes were almost invisible, and his words were very earnest, and he said, "I heard that the clerk said that Mr. Pu came by car, do you see whether the jade is wrapped and put in the car for you, or will we send it directly to your mansion?"
"Put it in the car. The Pu Demon hesitated. This batch of jade is of good quality, and the Pu Demon has bought more than the previous ones, and it is not particularly easy to put in the car. However, there are two people living in the house, Pu Demon and Yan Ruihan, which are a secret place for Pu Demon Demon, and he doesn't want others to enter casually.
Boss Jia naturally listened to him, the space in the car became narrower, and the Pu Demon simply asked the driver to drive back first, and took Cheng Lin and Zhang Bing to go shopping.
He came to the food street three times and two times, and soon a box of barbecued potato flowers and fried golden chicken fillets appeared in his hand. The crispy potato flowers and fragrant fried chicken fillets taste very good, and the Pu Demon actively shared the food with Cheng Lin and Zhang Bing, but was not surprisingly rejected by the two.
"It's really delicious, and it's a shame not to eat it when you put it to your mouth. The Pu Demon muttered quietly.
Cheng Lin and Zhang Bing didn't know what he was thinking, and said skillfully: "Demon, it's useless to bribe us, the general said that you won't be allowed to eat fried food outside, and we will definitely report it." ”
Moreover, even if they don't report it, the general won't be able to guess what you've done, just because of the barbecue smell on your body?
The scene of being nagged by Yan Yan and being punished for writing in the corner came up, and the Pu Demon Demon stunned you for a second, then finished nibbling on the chicken fillet in his hand, turned around and walked towards the barbecue restaurant again.
Since punishment is unavoidable, let's take the opportunity to eat more.
This idea has to be said to be very demonic.
After satisfying his appetite, the Pu Demon was not in a hurry to go back, he turned around and went to the new street of science and technology. He is already very proficient in the camouflage bee he bought at home, and he wants to go shopping to see if there is anything new.
There are nearly tens of millions of people in the Qiumu base, and the things in the new street of science and technology are basically the products of the application of the latest research results in practical applications, which are sought after by the people of the time. Therefore, the new street of science and technology is also the most prosperous street in the Qiumu base.
Under the escort of Cheng Lin and Zhang Bing, the Pu Demon squeezed through the crowd with difficulty, and finally found a place with fewer people to stand, took a long breath, and said suspiciously: "When I came here a few times ago, there were not so many people here, what's wrong today, the whole base is here?"
Cheng Lin used his thick body to block the Pu Demon to prevent someone from bumping into him, and replied: "You can't blame them, during this period of time, the base is under martial law, and the defense is directly pulled to the combat readiness level." Although there have been a few more times before, people are still restless. This side of the new street includes all the hot and cold weapons and defensive equipment sold by the base, and most people also want to buy more for self-defense. ”
I see, the Pu Demon understands now. The crowd of people coming to the new street of science and technology was still coming, and after being stepped on again, Pu Demon decided to give up and not go in.
He took two steps back sideways, ready to turn and walk back, only to crash into the man. Feeling that the person behind him was tilting down, the Pu Demon Demon grabbed him with a quick reaction. There are so many people here, and I don't know if I can get up when I fall to the ground.
After stabilizing the person, the Pu Demon was able to turn around, and he realized that the person who was hit was not as skinny and weak as he thought.
This person is quite tall, and his back is slightly hunched and he is a cut taller than the Pu Demon. Looking at the difference in length, he is in his thirties, and the strong muscles on his arms are exposed from the short sleeves. His figure shouldn't be like being knocked down by a pu demon. However, the Pu Demon looked at his pale face and bloodless lips, and asked about the strong smell of medicine on his body, and understood a little.
Pu Demon held his arm and asked him to rest for a while: "I'm sorry, I just paid attention and bumped into you." ”
The man should have had a not light injury, and he broke out in a cold sweat just when he touched him. But this person's temper is quite open-minded, he leaned against the wall, looked at the Pu Demon and said a little roughly: "Hehe, it's not a big deal, I'm not careless, no wonder you." ”
His voice was hearty, his words were rough, and he felt informal, and the Pu Demon felt that he was somewhat similar to the big bear, and talked to him with great interest: "Then thank you." I see that you look like you are injured, why did you come to this crowded place at this time?"
The man showed a wry smile on his face, and said with the simplicity of ordinary people: "Eh, I don't want to." My mother-in-law is frail and has two children to raise, so it is difficult to live even if I have a base to support her. ”
"Before, the base issued a mission to clean up the high-risk beasts in the forest outside the base, and I signed up to participate in order to make more money, but I was seriously injured without thinking about it. It just so happened that the compensation was given, so I wanted to use this to buy two self-defense equipment for the children at home. ”
The man's words made the Pu Demon feel a little strange, he had never suffered in the Lost Valley, and when he came to the Qiumu base, he was also well taken care of by Yan Ruihan, and he had always had no worries about food and clothing. He realized today that it was not easy for some people to make a living.
Compared with his feelings, Cheng Lin and Zhang Bing's reactions were much more flat. They quietly separated the Pu Demon from the man, and said to the Pu Demon Demon: "Demon Demon, since you want to go back, let's go quickly, there are many people pouring in over there, and I'm afraid it won't be easy to go out later." ”
"Good. Pu Demon nodded, it seems that it is impossible to buy things in the new street of science and technology during this time. He glanced at the man who was separated by Cheng Lin, although he had experienced something and was still injured, the Pu Demon had not seen a sense of inferiority in him, he was just sick and weak, and worried when he mentioned his family.
Pu Demon patted Cheng Lin's arm soothingly, passed through him and approached the man, he pulled up the man's arm, took out the card that Yan Ruihan gave him and pasted it on his watchable contribution point recorder, pressed a few numbers on it and replaced it for others, "I just have a few extra contribution points that I can't spend, I bother you to help." ”
He couldn't move neatly, and when he was done, he withdrew and let Cheng Lin and Zhang Bing escort him out of Science and Technology New Street.
Soon after the Pu Demon left, several people immediately gathered around the "weak" man who was leaning against the wall, faintly forming a protective posture.
It's just that the man looked in the direction of the young man who quickly withdrew from the flow of people and disappeared, and looked for a while without moving.
"Young master. Seeing that they had been stagnant for too long to attract attention, one of them spoke cautiously.
The man was awakened by his voice, he looked down at the extra five thousand contribution points in Kari, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with an inexplicable smile: "Interesting, interesting." ”
He turned his head and asked the people around him, "Do you know the identity of that young man just now?"
The person who was questioned began to inquire about the identity of the teenager as soon as the teenager appeared, but the result was not beautiful, and he quickly replied: "His identity has not been found in the public system, and the scope of the inquiry needs to be expanded." ”
This answer was obviously displeasing to the man, and his eyes swept lightly over the man, and that gaze was like a sword quenched with deadly poison, and the slightest touch could kill someone. The back of his neck is still deliberately bent as when the Pu Demon saw it, but the breath around him is still half a point of honesty.
The person in front of him, who was still calmly and calmly replying, couldn't help but tremble at his glance, and the others also lowered their heads to avoid the man's gaze. Seeing that everyone was like this, the man said directly: "The two people beside him are military guards, he should be related to people in the military and political high-level, go in this direction." ”
This person did not deliberately hide his identity, it should be someone who treated his behavior in a low-key manner, and did not want him to be conspicuous. If you really want to find out, you can definitely find it with a little effort.
Wei Wu would never fail to do his job properly, but if this young man happened to be related to what he was doing, he would not be polite.
Although there was nothing on the boy to identify himself, Wei Wu had a hunch that he had something to do with what he was going to do.
I bought a cart of high-grade jade, but I didn't know that he suddenly had an interest in helping someone and helped out of a problem. Although it is a pity that I didn't buy anything from Science and Technology New Street, I am also very happy to buy jade and get it.
The spiritual power passed on to him by Grandpa Hontsu can be used as a body of confidence, which should be needed from time to time, but the Pu Demon Demon knows that spiritual power cultivation is not easy. The spiritual energy in the jade and the spiritual power that increases through daily cultivation are the spiritual power preparation that he consumes daily.
At the same time, after testing, he has been able to determine that the decrease in grain production is caused by the decrease in bacteria in the soil, and it is estimated that the jade cost on it in the future will not be less.
"Demons. ”
Sure enough, when Cao Cao arrived, as soon as he thought of this, the Pu Demon Demon, who had not yet gotten out of the car, heard Yan Ruihan's voice.
Before getting out of the car, the Pu Demon looked at the sky outside the window and glanced at it, the sky was clear in the afternoon, anyway, it was not when Yan Yan stayed at home on weekdays.
When the Pu Demon got out of the car, he waved happily at Yan Ruihan: "Yan Yan, I bought a new jade, you can help me move it." ”
"Good. Yan Ruihan heard the sound of the car and came over to him, and at this time he had already arrived in front of the Pu Demon Demon.
At this time, the Pu Demon Demon also saw that there was a person behind him, and the Pu Demon Demon looked at him and smiled: "Zhongli, are you a little free today?"
He had already discovered that among Yan Yan's three subordinates, Zhongli was the one who took the most care and was the busiest. And not only is everything done in an orderly manner, he can always be gentle and decent, except in front of Fancheng, he has never seen him angry and out of shape, and the demon can only say a word of admiration.
