Chapter Forty-Nine: A Last Resort

Hearing Jiang Yitong's words, Jiang Peng immediately fell into deep thought.

"When a person has so much money that he has no concept of right and wrong, good and evil are in an instant, and a crocodile king like Gustav has naturally become the most superlative plaything in the eyes of the rich and noble, and they would rather pay a sky-high price to buy it, just to satisfy their boring life. ”

Jiang Yitong sighed and continued: "This is why the behavior of stealing and poaching wild animals has been repeatedly prohibited, and local tyrants who are always idle are willing to pay people to do this kind of thing. ”

"So, it was the European tycoons who paid for Tsavo to capture Gustav from Africa and ship it back. Duochai City is just a secondary station, but in this transit station, Gustav escaped from the container and came to Chinatown. Jiang Peng roughly reviewed the current situation.

"It should be so, Tsavo's mercenaries must be trying to capture Gustav, but before they can do so, they seem to want to use the crocodile's mouth to get rid of some people in Chinatown. Jiang Yitong analyzed.

"That's right, that's what I thought. Jiang Peng agreed.

"I'm not in favor of going out and looking for food. Jiang Yitong said calmly.

"First of all, although crocodiles don't have good vision, they have a very sensitive sense of smell and hearing, and more importantly, their skin has a sensing function. ”

"Induction function?" Jiang Peng asked with a frown.

"Yes, they can sense the position of their prey in the water by the vibration of the water, the speed of the current. Some sounds that cannot be heard by humans can also be felt through skin sensors. ”

Jiang Yitong pointed in the direction of the door and said, "When the speedboat starts, not only is the sound very loud, but the traces left on the water surface are as clearly visible in Gustav's eyes as the black dots on the white paper, you are Gustav's live target, the fat on the side of the mouth, it will attack you at any time."

To find food from the store, it is necessary to enter the water, but the water is the absolute domain of Gustav, and to enter it is to die. ”

Although Jiang Yitong said it very clearly, Jiang Peng was still a little hesitant: "However, we don't know how long we will be trapped here, it's okay for a day or two, if it takes a long time, I'm afraid something will happen." ”

Looking at Jiang Peng's face, Jiang Yitong said with a little anger: "Are you just so unserious about your life? Think about it, if something happens to you, what will Xiaohu do?"

Looking at Jiang Yitong's serious face, Jiang Peng's heart trembled, he knew that he couldn't go on like this.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Peng's face was expressionless, and he even said a little coldly: "You can take care of yourself, you don't have to worry about my affairs." ”

Jiang Yitong's heart suddenly burst into flames, looking at Jiang Peng's wandering eyes, Jiang Yitong asked slowly: "Jiang Peng, what do you mean? I'm worried about your safety, can you still say such things?"

Jiang Peng gritted his teeth, when he was constantly broken, he was in trouble, and if he didn't solve this relationship now, Jiang Peng was afraid that he would be ruthless in the future.

"I don't mean anything else, I just don't want you to worry so much about a woman, we're just ordinary friends, I don't want you to bother so much, I won't be able to do it. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Yitong only felt dizzy, she glanced at Jiang Peng, her eyes were slightly red.

"That's right, I and Jiang Peng are just ordinary friends, why worry so much, at this time, just take care of yourself. ”

Jiang Yitong's heart hurt a little, she thought about it, nodded, squeezed out a smile, and said, "It's me who is abrupt, Mr. Jiang." You're in charge of your business, but I still recommend not going out. ”

After speaking, Jiang Yitong turned around and left.

Looking at Jiang Yitong who was rushing away, Jiang Peng's heart seemed to be blocked by a boulder, and he couldn't breathe.

When it comes to emotional matters, Jiang Peng's mouth is very stupid, and what he said just now is definitely not the truth after careful consideration.

But people who are caught in a relationship will automatically drop their IQ by half.

Rao is such a smart woman as Jiang Yitong, and she is also concerned about chaos.

took Jiang Peng's obvious lies seriously.

After taking a few deep breaths, Jiang Peng calmed down, he slowly returned to the outside of the wing, walked in, glanced around, and did not see Jiang Yitong.

As soon as Jiang Peng entered the room, he was surrounded by a group of people, and everyone asked nonsense.

"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang, I want to ask, is there really a crocodile outside?"

"Jiang Peng, how long are we going to stay here, have you contacted the government or consulate?" ”

"Mr. Jiang, my child said that he is very hungry, please ask, do we have anything to eat here, and you can buy it with money. ”

......

Surrounded by so many people for the first time, Jiang Peng's head was a little confused, looking at the noisy crowd around him, Jiang Peng waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Everyone be quiet, everyone be quiet, listen to me." ”

Although Jiang Peng's voice was a little hoarse, it was very effective, and the neighbors around him closed their mouths.

"First of all, this is Chinatown, not the rainforests of Africa, crocodiles, I don't think there are. ”

"Secondly, everyone's mobile phone should have no signal, so my mobile phone is the same. I think we should still need to stay in the Confucius Temple for a while, and as for how long, I think it should be soon, as soon as the communication is restored, we can contact the Master to save us. ”

"Third, there is still some food in the temple, the masters are cooking, everyone wait patiently, and everyone will be called when the meal is opened. ”

Jiang Peng answered everyone's questions one by one, calmed everyone's mood, and then came to Jiang Xiaohu's side.

"Xiaohu, have you seen Reporter Jiang?" Jiang Peng asked.

Jiang Xiaohu shook his head, suddenly said "Huh", and asked, "Something is wrong." ”

Jiang Peng tilted his head slightly, looked at Jiang Xiaohu, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

Jiang Xiaohu looked at Jiang Peng's face and said, "Did you quarrel with Sister Jiang?"

Jiang Peng's face suddenly darkened, and he shook his head and said, "Children, what nonsense, don't worry about things between adults." ”

Jiang Xiaohu suddenly said dissatisfiedly: "What a child, I will be eighteen years old soon, and I will be an adult." Besides, people are so good to you, you still don't appreciate it. ”

Jiang Peng hurriedly coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment.

"Ahem, okay, okay, you stay good, I'll go back and see if there's anything I need help with, by the way, did you see Panda?"

Jiang Xiaohu snorted and said, "Uncle Panda has gone to the bathroom, you can go over there and look for it." ”

Jiang Peng responded, muttering in his heart: "Today's children are really getting more and more precocious, really." ”

Out of the wing, Jiang Peng came to the door of the bathroom, and happened to meet Jiang Yitong, whose eyes were red, walking out of it.

Jiang Peng originally wanted to say hello, but thought of his decision and closed his mouth.

Jiang Yitong also glanced at Jiang Peng, immediately lowered his head, hid his face and ran away.

Jiang Peng walked into the bathroom, stood at the position of the sink, and shouted at the men's toilet: "Panda, are you there?"

Panda's voice immediately responded from the men's bathroom: "Brother Peng, what a coincidence, you also come to the toilet." ”

Jiang Peng "cut" and said, "Hurry up, I'll wait for you at the door and talk about things." ”

After Jiang Peng finished speaking, he stood outside the bathroom and waited.

After waiting for about five minutes, I saw Panda walking out with his pants on his face with a smile on his face.

"What's wrong, Brother Peng?" Panda asked.

"You kid. Jiang Peng was about to fight, but was flexibly dodged by Panda.

"I won't mess with you, let's get down to business, we'll go out in the afternoon after lunch. ”

When Panda saw the serious Jiang Peng, he also said with a straight face: "Brother Peng, you are not afraid of that crocodile." ”

Jiang Peng made a "shhhhh ”

Panda's eyes lit up, and he twisted his fists and said, "Brother Peng, what do you mean by that Zhou Chen? I'm going to beat him up now, and he'll be honest." ”

Looking at Panda, who was about to leave, Jiang Peng hurriedly pulled him back: "What are you doing, come back quickly." ”

Jiang Peng glared at Pan Da again, and said: "Now that Zhou Chen has not made trouble, we have no reason to move him, more importantly, he is the son of Uncle Le, Uncle Le is respected in Chinatown, and he loves this Zhou Chen very much, and it will only backfire if he makes a rash move, we must have evidence." ”

Panda was immediately deflated, sat on the ground, rubbed his head, and said, "Then what are we going to do? ”

Jiang Peng thought for a moment and whispered a few times in Panda's ear.

Pan Da looked at Jiang Peng with some confusion and asked rhetorically, "Brother Peng, is this method useful?"

Jiang Peng waved his hand and said, "Dead horses should be live horse doctors, let's talk about it in the afternoon, let's go, go to the backyard to help the masters." ”

After speaking, Jiang Peng took Panda to the backyard.

In the backyard, including the kitchen, it is really not an easy task to make a lunch for fifty people.

The masters in the Confucius Temple are coarse tea and light rice on weekdays, and there is no special inventory.

And the size of the kitchen utensils in the back kitchen is limited, and it can only cook food for up to ten people at a time.

Jiang Peng also had to assist the masters to arrange everyone to eat in order of old, weak, female, and male.

Lunch is a bowl of vegetable porridge and two steamed buns.

In this case, it would be nice to have something to eat.

But as Jiang Peng, who is a rice fighter, he still sees a dissatisfied look in the eyes of many people.

I also heard a lot of complaints.

What's "that's it for lunch?" "It's not enough for people to stuff their teeth." "That's rubbish, isn't it? ”

This is just a meal, there are so many complaints, Jiang Peng didn't dare to think about what would happen to these people if they were really hungry for a few days.

After the meal, Jiang Peng, Pan Da, and Jiang Yitong were all helping to clean up the tableware, and even Jiang Xiaohu was helping.

After a long time, it was finally past noon.

But after lunch, the problem was in front of me, and there was no food.
