Chapter 54: The Visitation
When Qin Xu was still on the way down the mountain, the sky was already completely dark, and he needed to be extremely cautious and slow down the mountain road, so by the time he arrived in the urban area of Chaohai City, it was already past dinner.
Fortunately, there is a lot of food in the car, find a safe place to stop, nibble on a few pears, whether it is Xiao Zhu or Old Master Qin, there is no opinion.
Not to mention Qin Xu, he has always been very good at raising.
Parking the rented car in front of his house, Qin Xu began to move things.
"Ah, Xiao Qin, what did you do to go home so much?" Uncle Jiang, who was holding a pair of chess next door and was about to go to the senior activity center to meet chess friends, asked curiously.
"I went to the countryside and bought some sweet potatoes and vegetables or something. Qin Xu picked up a bag of sweet potatoes and replied simply.
"Oh oh, good things, good things, where did you buy them, how much does a pound cost? I also let my son drive to buy some. Uncle Jiang nodded again and again, his heart moved.
"The one I bought, now that I've bought it, the next batch of sweet potatoes will be harvested at the end of October, and it is said that that batch tastes better, I'll go over and say to Xiao Jiang when the time comes." Qin Xu and Uncle Jiang's son Jiang Huaming also knew each other, and said directly.
Uncle Jiang married late, and Jiang Huaming, who was born at the age of forty, so his son is about the same age as Qin Xu, and the two have played since childhood, and they are good friends.
"That's okay, that's okay. Uncle Jiang nodded happily, looked at Qin Xu appreciatively and said, "It's still Xiao Qin, you are sensible, my stinky son, squatting in the company every day to work overtime, what kind of entrepreneurship, and now what kind of venture capital is still there, it's really a mess." ”
Uncle Jiang chattered and shook his head and left.
Qin Xu was speechless, Jiang Huaming's kid started from scratch, and the company's assets are over 10 million, right?
Sure enough, there is a generation gap.
When entering the house, Qin Xu's grandparents were holding a large-screen mobile phone, walking slowly in a circle, and playing mahjong games.
According to themselves, it is a game of mental and physical strength.
It's the best fit for an elderly person like them.
Grandpa Qin Xu saw Qin Xu carrying sweet potatoes into the house, raised his eyelids, and shouted, "Sister, Sun Sun is back!"
Liu Amei, with her hands stained with white flour, poked her head out of her "dumpling studio" and asked, "Have you eaten?" I didn't keep your food, I want to eat my own dumplings." ”
Qin Xu had long been accustomed to this treatment.
He directly carried bags of food from the car, got out of the car, and moved them into the room at home that was specially enlarged for rice and dry goods.
"Why did you buy so many things?" Liu Amei was surprised.
“...... Feed the pigs. Qin Xu said bluntly.
Liu Amei: "......"
As he was moving the last bag of pears out of the back seat of the car, he suddenly felt something and jumped next to him.
"Huh?" Qin Xu looked intently, and under the light of the not too bright headlights, he found that there was a small frog a little bigger than a coin lying on his stomach by the window.
This little frog, which was dark green on the surface and mixed with brown stripes, was lying on the window with a calm and calm expression, and its two big bulging eyes met Qin Xu's gaze.
"Are you, hitchhiking?" Qin Xu asked inexplicably.
"Quack......" A long frog cry was quite magnetic, as if it was answering Qin Xu's words.
Qin Xu felt a little funny, he just wanted to open the window and let this little guy out, when suddenly Old Master Qin floated in from the roof of the car, stood next to the little frog, and said:
"Don't evict you. ”
"Oh, what's wrong?" Qin Xu's eyes lit up and he asked, "Could it be that this frog has any natural abilities?"
"Oh, no, the old man just thinks that the spiritual power you have obtained from cultivating the Wind Sword Scroll is enough, and it is just right to practice with this little guy. ”
"Frog, isn't there a pink spider?" I knew that it was impossible to be so lucky and blindly run into a gifted spirit animal.
"The Pink Spider has a limited physique, and it can only accompany you to practice for another night or two before reaching its limit. Master Qin said.
The disciples of the Immortal Beast Sect need the cooperation of other creatures to cultivate the beast refining technique.
Through animals, they refine their spiritual power, and they obtain the purest bit of spiritual power themselves, while other spiritual energy impurities are absorbed by the animals who practice together.
Although it is known as an aura impurity, animals are extremely difficult to obtain from the outside world, so cultivating with the disciples of the Immortal Beast Sect can be regarded as helping each other for these animals.
The earth, which lacks aura, is not as strong as the strength of animals.
Qin Xu's cultivation of the beast refining technique was bound to keep looking for suitable animals.
"Goo-goo-goa-goo-go Qin Xu stretched out his hand, grabbed the little dark green frog, took it home, and found a plastic box for it to be in charge of.
After cleaning up the car, Qin Xu quickly ate a large bowl of dumplings and made a call to Ding Liming, preparing to go over to see him.
Today's delay in Guiyuan Village was too long, which disrupted Qin Xu's arrangement a little, but fortunately, it was still early for people living in the city at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and it was not rude to visit.
Ding Liming answered the phone, his voice felt very low, and when he heard that Qin Xu was coming, he finally raised his spirits and directly told him the address of his ward.
Qin Xu returned the shared car.
Urban traffic is still reliable with electric donkeys.
At this time, when driving, eighty percent are stuck in traffic jams.
And Qin Xu's little electric donkey sent him to the First Hospital of Chaohai City in less than ten minutes.
According to the address provided by Ding Liming, Qin Xu found his ward.
In the hospital ward, there is always a somewhat unpleasant atmosphere, as if the emotions have been suppressed all of a sudden.
Walking into the ward and finding the bed closest to the window, Qin Xu saw Ding Liming, who was lying crookedly on the hospital bed, and had not seen him for two days, and his image had changed greatly.
Ding Liming is five or six years older than Qin Xu, just over thirty at this time, and he is the most energetic and in the best physical condition.
This benevolent brother, although he is lazy and slippery in his work on weekdays, his physical exercise has never been left behind, and his body shape has remained good.
But living in the hospital, under the influence of huge psychological pressure and blocking drugs, Ding Liming's whole person seemed to be ten years older.
Hearing the movement and seeing Qin Xu, Ding Liming sat up, brushed his hair that was a little greasy, got out of bed and said, "Thank you for coming to see me, sit down!"
Ding Liming took off his police uniform, wore a crumpled white T-shirt, and wore a crumpled khaki loose five-point pants underneath, and the whole person looked very decadent.
In fact, taking blocking drugs does not require hospitalization, and there is no need to be hospitalized, just take the medicine back and take it, and go to the hospital for regular check-ups.
Dan Ding Liming himself reacted to the medicine and was reluctant to tell his family, so he simply asked the doctor to be accommodating and found a relatively vacant ward to lie down, without thinking about renting a house, and the nurse also helped remind him not to miss the time to take medicine.
In fact, Qin Xu felt that Ding Liming was anxious in his heart, and he was living alone in the hospital ward, smelling the smell of disinfectant water, surrounded by patients and their families who were also uneasy, so he would only be more depressed, so it was better to leave, change the environment, and make himself happy.
However, different people have different ideas, and Qin Xu didn't open his mouth to persuade him, but put the small pear in his hand on the bedside table next to Ding Liming's bedside, took out a portable multi-functional knife, cut one, and handed it to Ding Liming.
"Lao Ding, come, taste it, I went to the mountain to pick the pears today, don't look at it small, but it's really natural and pollution-free, the taste is very good, I brought you a bag, you eat slowly." Qin Xu handed the peeled pear flesh to Ding Liming and said.
The pears are indeed small, just enough for two bites per one.
Ding Liming took a bite and chewed a few times absentmindedly, and then a particularly mellow fruity aroma, accompanied by sweet juice, spread in his mouth.
It's really, unexpectedly delicious.
"Eh, that's good!" Ding Liming immediately took two more bites, and in a blink of an eye, there was only one pear heart left in his hand.
"This pear is really good, I know, this is a variety of southern pear, a few days ago I also bought two catties for the family, that head, but there are three times the size of this, however, now the fruit on the market, sweet and sweet, is less of a fruit aroma, tired of eating. This one is different when you eat it, like something from childhood. ”
Food is about the biggest healing thing for human beings, and after eating five small emerald pears in a row, Ding Liming's complexion is much better.
At night, Qin Xu was also inconvenient to sit for a long time, so after chatting with him for a few words, he got up and said goodbye.
"Lao Ding, it's definitely okay, I hit the pit in my brain last time, it's not okay, you can relax, wait for twenty-eight days, it will be regarded as a vacation, and when the time comes, let's have a meal together to get lucky." When Qin Xu was leaving, he comforted him.
Unexpectedly, when Ding Liming heard his last words, he shook his head without hesitation and said, "Go back?" Whatever the outcome, I'll resign immediately. ”
"Huh?" Qin Xu was unexpectedly stunned when he saw Ding Liming's disheartened appearance.
