"If I say I'm not, can I go have lunch first?" Bai Xingwen watched the whole world become as gorgeous as a kaleidoscope, and suddenly felt that if it was possible, he also wanted to learn this enchantment-like technique. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"In this way, if you can't find a bathroom when you go out in the future, just open a mirror space, and then close it again, it's really a convenient trick!" Bai Xingwen thought silently.
"Of course, it's not impossible, if you return the jackdaw totem to us, you can naturally leave. One of the black-robed people should be the leader of several people, and after taking a step towards Bai Xingwen, he said: "We are not unreasonable people, and the things you did before have nothing to do with us very much, we are just the ones responsible for recovering this knowledge that should not exist." ”
"Okay!" Bai Xingwen said as he took out the stack of pocket towels on the chest of his suit.
"......" The black-robed man didn't expect Bai Xingwen to hand over the jackdaw totem so happily, and silently stepped forward to take the tulle-like totem in the shape of a pocket towel and put it into his arms.
"By the way, excuse me, does it matter if I've seen it?" Thinking that these guys might be able to find it back, Bai Xingwen asked in advance.
"Of course, no problem, some knowledge is not something that can be understood once you look at it. There was a slight mocking tone, and the black-robed people didn't explain anything. The leader raised his hands, one hand kept turning in the air to draw a circle, and a circle of light appeared in front of him. Inside the aperture is another world, a scene of ice and snow.
Then several black-robed people quickly jumped into the aperture, and the last black-robed man waved his hands at Bai Xingwen, and then also entered the aperture, and the aperture dissipated.
Bai Xingwen also returned to Malibu Beach.
Because of the politeness of the first salute and then the soldiers, Bai Xingwen was also polite, and then the scene just now happened inexplicably. Bai Xingwen thought about it, but there was nothing to lose anyway, so he decided to hurry back to the hotel to find little Elizabeth.
"Today is also a day of peace and tranquility. ”

"Goran, don't you have to do anything to that Aven?" one of the black-robed men asked the leader.
"After all, this totem was snatched from the hands of the fire crow, so there is no need to add more trouble. The team leader turned around and explained, "And, you know that one of the Serpent Faction's bases has been destroyed, and you don't want to go back." ”
"The base of the Snake Sect? What's so great about those ordinary people. The black-robed man said disdainfully.
"It's true that it's an ordinary person, but if you go to see the scene, you don't think so. It's really razed to the ground, not the ruins. ”

Bai Xingwen happily drove back to the hotel in an SUV, there were still a few days before he returned the car, and he could still use it for a while, and after a few days, he sent a new identity certificate, and then went to buy a new car.
Bai Xingwen walked back to the room and found that the little girl had already gotten up. When Elizabeth heard the door open and found that it was Bai Xingwen, she pounced quickly.
"Well, okay, okay, haha, little one, let's go out to dinner! ”
"Hmm!" Elizabeth didn't let Bai Xingwen see the corners of her moist eyes, although Bai Xingwen said that he would be back before noon, but who knows if he was a liar? Elizabeth, who was just about to have a new family, was a little troubled.
Bai Xingwen took Elizabeth to the nearest Sichuan restaurant, after all, the hot and spicy stimulation can make Bai Xingwen feel like eating Chinese food again.
"Hmm, mapo tofu, fish-flavored shredded pork, boiled pork slices, and a kung pao chicken. Bai Xingwen looked at the familiar menu and said in Chinese.
"Okay, haha, sir, your Chinese is really good. "The waiters are Chinese, but most of them may not speak Chinese very well, and a large number of Chinese speak Cantonese.
"That's right, I'm a Hua Guotong, haha. Bai Xingwen, who doesn't look like a Chinese person now, can only helplessly pretend to be a foreigner who likes Chinese culture.
"Delicious!" Elizabeth said in Chinese, but the tone was a little problematic to foreigners.
"Haha, this young lady is also very good. The waiter smiled at the lovely Elizabeth and went to tell the kitchen to cook.
Bai Xingwen looked at Elizabeth's smug expression, and was very happy in his heart, the little girl who was originally shy and a little withdrawn is now more and more like a normal sunny child, around the age of 11 is a good period for education, so Bai Xingwen also hopes that Elizabeth can have a good childhood, and will not be mentally abnormal like the Scarlet Witch because of the past of the orphanage.
However, there is no chaos magic in this world, and the source of Scarlet Witch's power is not innate. Bai Xingwen was looking forward to his little Elizabeth beating the Scarlet Witch who didn't know where she was in the future.
"I didn't know my little Elizabeth was so good, where did you learn it?"
"Once there was a Chinese chef in the orphanage, and he made a delicious meal, and then handed us this sentence!" Elizabeth praised me with a quick expression, and Bai Xingwen praised the little girl as she wished.
The waiter quickly brought a few dishes, and also brought two bowls of rice, seeing that Bai Xingwen spoke Chinese so fluently, he didn't give them knives and forks.
"Well, I think it's delicious when I smell it, so let's try it. Bai Xingwen smiled and picked up the chopsticks, skillfully took a piece of beef soaked in chili oil and put it in his mouth, and then looked at Elizabeth like a joke.
Not to be outdone, Elizabeth poked around with two small wooden sticks, but she couldn't hold a single peanut.
"Haha, Elizabeth, peanuts can only be added up using chopsticks and black belt levels, you better try this beef, it's not spicy." ”
Elizabeth looked at Bai Xingwen's hateful appearance, picked up the spoon on the side, scooped up a large spoonful of diced chicken, put it on the rice, and ate it.
"Uh. I didn't expect the little girl to be so witty, Bai Xingwen was a little speechless at this time.
In the laughter and bickering of the two people, the lunch ended.
After the meal, Bai Xingwen decided to take the little girl to buy a few different sets of clothes, after all, no matter how young a girl is, she is still a girl, and he is different from him, an old driver who has a set of clothes for ten thousand years.
checked the mobile phone, it is said that Rodeo Avenue in the city is very good, there are many high-end brands, but Bai Xingwen is a man after all, and some of the clothes bought for girls are not very suitable for him to appear.
Bai Xingwen had no choice but to take Elizabeth to sit in a café first, order a dessert for the little girl who had eaten a lot of chili peppers and her face was flushed, and drank a latte by herself to think about where to find a woman to help.
At this time, Bai Xingwen realized that although it had been almost half a month since he came here, he was basically a simple person with a clear purpose, and he didn't know a few outsiders at all, except for the necessary ones such as the bar counter and the director of the orphanage, the only woman he had normal contact with was Pepper.
"It seems that not only does Elizabeth need to go to school and make more friends, but I also need to know more people, otherwise it would be embarrassing not to even have an acquaintance. Bai Xingwen thought helplessly.
In the end, he couldn't drive to Malibu Beach to find Little Pepper who didn't know if he was still there, so Bai Xingwen could only return to the hotel with Elizabeth and hire a professional female tour guide from the hotel.
"Hello Mr. White, your daughter is so cute!" Listening to the tour guide praise Elizabeth, Bai Xingwen didn't bother to emphasize that Elizabeth was not his daughter. Anyway, from the moment they adopted Elizabeth, the two of them were father and daughter.
Bai Xingwen, who was hit by a sentence of "daughter", threw out the "ghost father" or something that he had played before, looked at the tour guide lady when he came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "Thank you, you are also very beautiful." Excuse me?"
"Oh, forget to introduce yourself, just call me Dana, the tour guide is only part-time, I'm a student at the University of Los Angeles, so I'm still familiar with Los Angeles. Don't worry, do you want to take a stroll along Rodeo Drive and dress up this cute little princess by the way. Miss Dana, the tour guide, looked at little Elizabeth's cute dress and asked what the little girl's name was.
"My name is Elizabeth, and I'm going to be 12 years old soon!" Elizabeth looked up at Dana, who was much taller than her, and was not very happy, "These people all need to look up, only Evan will crouch down and talk to me, hum!"
Holding the unhappy Elizabeth's hand, he took Dana and drove the recently weathered SUV to Rodeo Avenue.
Dana led Bai Xingwen and Elizabeth to buy a lot of clothes suitable for little girls in different stores, although Elizabeth did not develop much because of malnutrition in the orphanage before, but she was born very suitable for all kinds of beautiful clothes, Bai Xingwen was also happy to pay in cash, although the store was also a little strange why a large amount of cash was used, but who couldn't get along with money?
In the end, he bought a beautiful little black dress for the little girl at CHANEL, and bought a few bottles of perfume that was said to be new this year, Bai Xingwen felt that he had been buried by the items he bought.
With a large pile of clothes and accessories, etc., Bai Xingwen laboriously put them all in the wide trunk of the SUV. was taken by the energetic Dana to buy him a few good suits, and by the way, he ordered a suit for Bai Xingwen in Armani. And Dana herself bought a few clothes, from this it seems that she is really a part-time tour guide, it should be a girl with a good family to do some life experience during the holidays.
When he returned to the hotel where Bai Xingwen lived, it was already dark, and Bai Xingwen gave Dana the tour guide's fee, and Dana generously accepted it.
"So, Dana, it's dinner time, so why don't you come with us to dinner?" ”
"Yes, Sister Dana. After an afternoon of shopping, the little girl has become acquainted with Dana, and sure enough, the friendship between women is so sudden.
"Thank you, Mr. White, for your kindness, but I have an appointment tonight, so I won't bother much. Dana politely declined the invitation to dine together, and it seemed that there was something really going on.
"Okay, thank you then, we'll be in Los Angeles for a long time, and we'll be in touch if needed. Bai Xingwen looked at the business card in his hand, but he didn't expect Dana, who was a part-time worker, to be very professional, and he actually printed a few business cards, on which were also very simple to write the Los Angeles tour guide translation, Dana's name and phone number.
"No problem, right, little Elizabeth!" replied Dana happily, looking at little Elizabeth and smiling.
Parking the car in front of the hotel, Dana left with the clothes she bought for herself today, and Bai Xingwen and Elizabeth returned all the "loot" in the car to the room. Although Bai Xingwen was a little tired, he thought of the hot pot he had talked to Elizabeth in the afternoon, so he had to take the little girl who was still full of energy after strolling around all afternoon to find a hot pot restaurant.
With Elizabeth, Bai Xingwen found a hot pot restaurant that looked very fashionable in decoration, but he didn't expect that there was also a little sheep in Los Angeles.
Looking at Elizabeth, who was rusty and used chopsticks to fish meat from the hot pot to eat, Bai Xingwen suddenly hoped that this world was not Marvel.
Quiet and peaceful has never been a theme of Marvel, and Bai Xingwen and Elizabeth are destined to face a lot of things in the future.
