Chapter 18: Thank You (You read that right, the title of this chapter is so short)

When the kanban ran over, to be honest, Zhou Xiaoyu was a little empty.

When Lu Dabao snatched Lao Li's watch, Zhou Xiaoyu didn't know why, so he followed as soon as his mind was hot, wanting to get the watch back for Lao Li.

Maybe it's because the old man's bastard son is also from a welfare home, or maybe it's because the old man who would make people call people would be stupid enough to carry a debt to an adopted son. Zhou Xiaoyu couldn't tell what the specific reason was, but the desire to get the watch back became stronger and stronger.

But impulsiveness is impulsive, and he has also thought about how to use his ability to deal with Lu Dabao.

So when he saw people rushing over, Zhou Xiaoyu quickly spit out four words from his mouth: "Gather qi to form a base!"

Spirit Word No. 6 [Air Barrier], activate!

Lu Dabao, who was running, suddenly hit an invisible wall, he never thought that this kind of thing would happen, and the qi wall was too sudden.

So from Zhou Xiaoyu's side, Lu Dabao's whole person was pasted on a light gray and transparent air wall. It's like sticking to a glass wall, and the facial features squeeze out a ridiculous picture.

Lu Dabao couldn't laugh at all, he ran in a hurry, and this collision made his eyes burst into Venus.

Taking a few steps back, he couldn't seem to see the pale gray wall of air, and could only reach out to feel it. When I touched it, I suddenly touched something, and I couldn't help but cry out: "Hell, this is!"

There was nothing in front of me, but my hand just couldn't reach through, as if it was blocked by an invisible wall. Lu Dabao has lived for more than 30 years and has never seen such a thing.

Then he saw Zhou Xiaoyu raise his right hand, his index finger forward, his thumb firm, and the other three fingers closed together to make a pistol shape.

Suddenly, a crimson flame danced on Zhou Xiaoyu's fingertips, and Lu Dabao's eyes straightened when he saw it!

"Glowing!"

Zhou Xiaoyu pulled the trigger in his mind, and his flat arm immediately bounced up, and the flames on his fingertips turned into a beam of crimson light. The light burst into the wall of air in front of it, exploding a small tumbling red flame that quickly dissipated.

Zhou Xiaoyu and Lu Dabao were both stunned.

Zhou Xiaoyu didn't expect that the air wall would not only be able to block the opponent, but also block his own attacks.

Lu Dabao didn't expect that the flame on Zhou Xiaoyu's finger could shoot like a bullet, what the hell is this?

Both of them were a little panicked.

Lu Dabao turned around and ran, his car was placed at the mouth of the alley, and he could drive away when he got in the car.

Zhou Xiaoyu's watch hadn't been gotten yet, so he naturally didn't want to let him go, so he chased after him.

"My feet are like the wind!"

Using the No. 3 Spirit Word [Wind Gallop], Zhou Xiaoyu's speed increased greatly, and he immediately bypassed the air wall he had set up, and caught up with Lu Dabao in three or two clicks.

I didn't want to step on an empty bottle and immediately fell to the ground. Zhou Xiaoyu endured the pain, raised his finger and pointed at Lu Dabao, the flame at the end of his finger rose again, and another crimson jet went straight towards Lu Dabao.

Lu Dabao heard a plop from behind, and when he turned around and saw Zhou Xiaoyu falling, he didn't have time to gloat, when he saw a red light chasing after him.

He screamed, and the red light hit him right in the hip. Suddenly, he felt that someone threw a few firecrackers in his pants, which made his butt hot and painful, and he screamed on the spot.

Lu Dabao's pants were on fire, and he hurriedly took them off, revealing his two hairy legs. The boxers inside had already burned a few holes in the buttocks, and he had to cover his buttocks so as not to go away.

was about to slip away, but saw Zhou Xiaoyu crawl up, and a crimson flame still lit up on the tip of his fingers, pointing at his chest.

Lu Dabao suddenly didn't dare to run, and said with a sad face: "Okay, okay, don't fight." Isn't it just a broken watch, can't I pay you back? I'll just have these bottoms left, don't burn me again. ”

Zhou Xiaoyu is also the last of the strong crossbow, and there is only the last shot left in the fire finger gun, and he doesn't dare to fight casually.

Seeing that Lu Dabao was willing to take the initiative to return the watch, he was happy, but he still kept a straight face, spread out his left hand, and motioned for Lu Dabao to throw the watch over.

Lu Dabao took off Lao Li's watch and threw it at Zhou Xiaoyu.

Zhou Xiaoyu raised his hand to catch it, and then blew towards the flame on his finger, and the flame was extinguished.

Lu Dabao asked, "Can I leave now?"

Zhou Xiaoyu waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go, I didn't plan to leave you for lunch." ”

Lu Dabao squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, covered his butt and left.

Zhou Xiaoyu returned upstairs and pushed open the door, Chen Ran was dragging the ground, and Lao Li didn't know where to go.

"Where's the old man?" Zhou Xiaoyu asked.

Chen Ran looked towards the bedroom and said, "People are sad, go back to the room and lie down." ”

Zhou Xiaoyu came to the bedroom, and Li Youcai was really inside. But instead of lying on the bed, he sat in front of the window, holding a yellowed photograph in a daze.

Zhou Xiaoyu stood on tiptoe and glanced at it, it was a group photo, a man and a woman, in their thirties and forties.

Judging from the outline, the man seems to be Li Youcai himself. If you look at it this way, the woman in the photo should be his wife.

Li Youcai said suddenly: "Her name is Shuhuan, and she is a virtuous woman. We had a child who had an accident when he was three years old and died. Later, I adopted one in a welfare home, but I didn't teach the child well, so he went down the wrong path. ”

"When Shuhuan left, she took my hand and said, don't give up on that child. So I carried the debt for him, hoping that one day, after paying off his debt, he would come back. ”

Zhou Xiaoyu suddenly felt a little heavy, walked over, put the watch on the table and said, "I picked this up downstairs." ”

Li Youcai looked at it and was stunned. Raising his head again, Zhou Xiaoyu had already walked to the door.

"Wait. Li Youcai shouted, picked up the watch, he wanted to ask something, but when he said it, it became: "Thank you." ”

Zhou Xiaoyu waved his hand and said, "No need, I just picked it up on the ground casually, and it didn't take much effort." ”

The old man smiled, "I want to thank you for helping me pick up scrap for an hour yesterday evening." At that time, I had an old problem, rheumatoid arthritis. My hands and feet hurt and I couldn't move, so I asked you to help. ”

Zhou Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "Then why don't you make it clear, if you want to say that you are sick, I won't misunderstand you." ”

Li Youcai said: "Because when I saw you, I felt that you were not the kind of person who cares. Moreover, I don't want to be pitiful, because then I will feel old. When you get old, you may not be able to wait for the child to come back. ”

After speaking, Li Youcai turned around. The sunlight outside the window shone in and fell on the old man's body, and the way he stared at the photo made Zhou Xiaoyu a little sad.

Maybe Li Youcai can't wait for the adopted son in the end. The only thing that accompanied him was the watch left by his wife.

Leaving the bedroom gently, Zhou Xiaoyu planned to cook a bowl of porridge for the old man. At least today, he doesn't feel lonely.

At this time, Li Youcai shouted in the room: "Grandson, I'm hungry, there is rice and a pot in the corridor, hurry up and make me a bowl of rice to eat." ”

Suddenly, all the sadness and sorrow were gone.

Zhou Xiaoyu shouted angrily towards the bedroom: "Who is your grandson, and he is still taking advantage of me, I shouldn't have picked up the watch for you!"

The old man's heartless laughter sounded in the room, and Zhou Xiaoyu left in a huff.

In the bedroom, the laughter stopped, Li Youcai looked at the woman in the photo and said, "Did you hear it, Shuhuan, it's quite lively today." When our kids come back, it's going to be so lively, right?"

He put away the photo, put on his watch, and left the bedroom.
