Section 142 Passing Scene
When I got back to my accommodation, it was still early.
Aunt Chen called again halfway, but she was still knocking on the side. I talked for a long time about the improvement of the public security environment. But maybe it's because Lu Wu is a more bold tenant (as mentioned earlier, he paid the rent for a long time at once, and there are not many such customers)
Speaking of which, Lu Wu also felt it before - as a suburban junction, public security is actually a very sensitive issue. Although the feeling of chaos still exists, there is still a clear difference between a place where people die twice in three days and a place where there has been nothing to do for many years. Lu Wu still clearly remembers what the landlord's aunt said before he rented the house, and if no one died for a year, it would be considered a good order. But Lu Wu has lived here for so long, and it seems that he has not encountered anything dangerous. It's not just about yourself, you don't even see what concerns others.
If there is, it's probably the underground casino.
Well, the underground casino before it was closed and didn't open again. But this is understandable, after all, he was killed by the evil demon and killed more than a dozen people, including the boss. According to a deep-seated prejudice among the Chinese, no one will take over the kind of place where many people have died. Until now, at least before Lu Wu set off for Kunlun Mountain, the house was still closed and there was no successor.
Maybe it's related to this incident, maybe it's just an accident, in short, it seems that since that big case, the surrounding area has been much more peaceful.
Speaking of which, it is not just a matter of the security environment. The situation of the black and smelly creek on the other side of the small building has also improved a lot. At least it doesn't stink when it's hot. The river is not as slimy as it first looked.
Of course, an improvement in the overall environment is not necessarily a good thing for tenants, as it often means that the landlord has an excuse to increase the rent.
As mentioned earlier, the first and second floors are used as warehouses, and they are now temporarily empty. There was just a few clutter inside, and maybe some chests with crystals (and maybe a small amount of crystals). However, it may be due to the dampness, and a faint musty smell can be smelled releasing from the inside when passing through the doorway. It is important to note that although it smells musty, it does not smell bad.
Although strictly speaking, Lu Wu has not lived here for a particularly long time, but he can feel an inexplicable sense of peace of mind when he smells that smell.
Even lying on the white bed of the hospital, watching the doctors and nurses in white coats go in and out, there is no such inexplicable sense of reassurance.
After entering the door, I was surprised to find that the room was quite clean. According to the time of the earth, he had been gone for several months, but perhaps because the doors of the room were closed, it did not look like the owner had been away for months, and he could not feel the dust after touching the table with his hand a few times.
It's like someone has come and cleaned it.
Of course this is not possible. Not to mention anything else, in the middle of the table, there is still a bunch of ticket tickets that Ren Jian gave him. These tickets are stacked here according to Lu Wu's memory.
Of course, according to the time of the earth, it has been nearly a hundred days since they left, and now most of these tickets have expired. At that time, I didn't feel anything special when I was carrying a ticket in my arms, after all, it was a gift ticket. But now I feel a pity. Because if you buy the relevant tickets seriously, it will cost a lot of money and effort.
I don't know why, but suddenly I feel the need to cherish everything around me.
This time I went to Kunlun Mountain, and it can be said that I experienced a real danger. Although before, especially in the other world, they have experienced some dangers. But in the face of these dangers, he has a targeted strategy. For example, when the Earth is kidnapped, at least he can use that badge to retreat to another world, get a chance to breathe and think about how to deal with it. Especially in those battles, it can even be said that many times it was Lu Wu himself who took the initiative to choose to face these dangers.
Only this time he was buried under the snow and ice, and he was really facing danger without any preparation or backup means. In fact, he has no counter-strategy other than waiting for rescue.
If Thomas had been dragged by the Tibetan antelope for a few more days (now Lu Wu also knew what Thomas was doing during this time), or if he hadn't met a few locals who were eager to help along the way (with the help of these people, Thomas found a rescue team in the shortest possible time), it is estimated that Lu Wu's life would be in danger this time.
Not only that, but for human beings, both the spirit and the body are equally important. If it weren't for the masters around him, who kept providing comfort and encouragement, Lu Wu didn't know if he could hold on. But even if you hold on, at least it won't be as easy as this time. At the very least, Zhu Hua's despair will definitely be contagious to himself.
When people face an inextricable predicament materially and fall into despair spiritually, what will happen after that, such as Lu Wu, a person who once aimed at being an "explorer", is of course very clear. This is completely different from taking the initiative to charge into battle on the battlefield. Even if you judge the exact same difficulties from an objective point of view, the latter will make you indomitable and courageous, while the former can only make you slowly wither and die in fear and fear.
For example, in the same steep mountain, if you are a refugee who has been displaced by an airplane accident, there is a high chance that you will not be able to escape, but if you come with the purpose of climbing, you have a high chance of climbing out. Active and passive face even if it is the same danger, because of the difference in mental state, the difference is so big.
It can be said that this time in distress, life and death are not under your control.
But it is precisely because of this danger that we can further feel the beauty of life.
Although I had hoped to be an explorer in the past, I didn't know anything about the feelings of those explorers in history. The reason why he wanted to pursue this profession was entirely because of an instinctive, inexplicable desire.
But now, Lu Wu felt that he had understood something.
Leaving the safety and comfort of life and venturing into the wilderness – while it is often thought that such adventures are for wealth and fame, the reality is that many of these unknown adventurers will go on their quests again after they have achieved fame. This is not something that can be explained by profit drive.
There is no way to experience this feeling without experiencing the danger of being truly helpless. If you haven't experienced the test of death, you won't feel the beauty of your life so truly.
"Lu Wu, what's wrong with you?" Amber reminded behind her. In her opinion, Lu Wu just came to the table, picked up the stack of ticket tickets and stayed there.
"It's okay......" Lu Wu quickly replied. He casually looked at the tickets in his hand, wanting to throw away the useless things that had expired.
Almost all of these tickets were sent by Ren Jian. Ren Jian himself said that it was given by someone else - open the door to do business, especially investment trading, often encounter this kind of thing. But maybe Ren Jian really sponsored some activities, because some of the tickets sent were limited in time and number of shows, which means that if no one patronizes at that time, it means that you voluntarily give up. However, there are also some that are much more lenient in the time and show restrictions, that is, the kind of high-end tickets or special invitation tickets that do not "expire at once".
Lu Wu had a ticket to a concert in his hand. A big show by a major orchestra in the city of W. The show lasts for a month, and is performed every evening (according to the custom of the locals of W City, it is exactly after dinner). VIP ticket holders can attend any of the sessions at any time, as many times as they want.
Usually, these tickets are not for sale, but are given as gifts. Even if the distinguished guest does not come, the corresponding position must be reserved at the scene.
Coincidentally, today is the last day of the show.
Although there is a lot of work in the future, according to a habit of earthlings, Lu Wu is idle today. Lu Wu is not the kind of person who supervises his plans for the future all the time. In fact, if he were this kind of person, he probably wouldn't have had that much interest in exploring or anything.
"Amber, here are two tickets for the concert. Lu Wu drew out the ticket. There was plenty of time today for the two of them to go to dinner and then a concert.
Although in this day and age, young people have a lot of entertainment to do, and concerts are rarely on their agenda. But it's not so much because people don't like concerts, it's because of people's subconscious, it's an elegant pastime. And the twin brother of "Elegant" is "High Price". When you have two free tickets in your hand, the mind becomes a little different.
Amber hesitated slightly, but although she deliberately avoided talking to Lu Wu, she didn't want to refuse Lu Wu's kindness. After all, deliberately keeping a distance from Lu Wu—though it wasn't all that easy—was still within the limits of his ability for a First Lawrcer who had been trained since he was a child and knew that his core mission would be to explore the Aether Sea.
At least for now.
The W City Theater is a brand new building that has only been built for three or four years. It is located on the side of the city park and it has to be said that it is a fantastic location. Although many W City locals feel that the entire urban construction plan is a mess, at least the Grand Theater is an exception. When night falls, standing in the park, you can see such a brightly lit building, like a beast studded with jewels, lying quietly on its side near the park. It's a picture that's perfect enough to satisfy even the most discerning person. Not to mention that in this era, most Chinese are far less critical than others think.
Of course, the Grand Theater is not only beautiful on the outside, but also excellent on the inside. After all, it has not been built for a long time, regardless of the interior design and decoration, even in the country, it is a first-class place. For touring plays, songs, dances, concerts, etc., almost all of them will consider the big theater as a performance venue first.
It's the same tonight.
