Chapter 118: The Third Story
"Hello!" An emaciated young man stood at the door of the bookstore, and he knocked on the door: "Your takeout is ready!" ”
Ling Ping'an immediately stood up and took a takeaway lunch box handed by the other party.
The smell of squid inside comes to my nose.
When he opened the takeaway box, he saw finger-thick squid whiskers, grilled golden brown and crispy, the skin sprinkled with fragrant chili powder, and the fat wrapped almost every part of the squid.
He immediately couldn't wait to take a bite: "It's delicious!" Delicious! ”
"Your praise is my honor!" The young man at the door was very satisfied, and he bowed slightly: "You are welcome to order takeaway from the small shop next time!" ”
"A must!" Ling Ping'an said happily.
For him, there are few things in the world that can keep him engaged other than playing and writing.
This delicacy is probably one of them.
"By the way......" The young man suddenly reminded: "Guest, in addition to squid whiskers, the shop will also regularly provide some deep-sea delicacies, and this time, the shop will give you a deep-sea fish liver ......."
Ling Ping'an listened, opened the takeaway lunch box, and sure enough, he found a very tender roasted fish liver wrapped in tin foil inside.
This cod liver is about the size of a fist, and the surface is grilled so crispy that the fat soaks out of the meat, giving it the same fragrance as juice.
"What kind of fish is this?" Ling Ping'an asked.
"This is the ......cod liver of a deep-sea fish caught from the deepest part of the Luzon Trench," the young man said with a smile, "absolutely natural and pollution-free!" ”
Ling Ping'an tasted it, and felt that his taste buds were occupied by the extreme umami, and he couldn't wait to eat it all in one bite.
"Great!" He said, "I'll order your supper again next time!" ”
"My pleasure!" The young man bowed again, then turned to leave.
Ling Ping'an held this takeaway and sat down at the counter, ready to eat.
Meow!
Kitten Best jumped in front of him.
"You want to eat too?" Ling Ping'an asked.
Meow!
He laughed and gave it a few squid whiskers, and a small half of the liver.
"Children can't eat too much fat!" He found a reasonable excuse for himself to occupy most of the cod liver: "Otherwise, you will get fat!" ”
After eating supper, Ling Ping'an burped, and then looked at the time, it was already twelve o'clock in the night.
"Watch the news and go to sleep!" He said, turning on the TV.
Soon the news broadcast appeared on the TV screen.
"Let's pay attention to global warming!" The host said very seriously, and at the same time, the picture of perennial frozen Antarctica was cut out on the screen.
One glacier after another, one after another.
However, between glaciers and glaciers, lakes appeared.
"Global warming is continuing to intensify ......"
"The melting rate of Antarctic glaciers is accelerating every year......
"Since the year 2820, the rate of melting of the Antarctic ice sheet has tripled!"
"Climate scholars and environmentalists are worried about the impact of sudden climate change on the global environment!"
Ling Ping'an looked at it, nodded, and said, "Hmm...... The weather has been really problematic lately......"
"Dense fog often occurs in the middle of the night......"
The young bookstore owner watched with concern as the glacier melted on the television screen.
Concerned for many of the affected island Gentilities.
It's not unheard of glaciers melting and rising sea levels to inundate an island nation.
When Ling Ping'an was a child, he saw a small country swallowed up by the sea.
Images of countless helpless and grieving people, forced to evacuate their ancestral homeland aboard an amphibious warship of the Imperial Navy.
It was a shocking moment.
Today, the rate of glacier melt is accelerating.
So, does it mean that the people of the island countries are going to lose their homes?
Thinking of this, Ling Ping'an was worried about the island for a second in his heart.
However, Ling Ping knew that it was useless for him to worry about such things.
He is just an ordinary person, and the only thing he can do is probably donate money to the Federal Imperial Natural Fund.
But he only donated 500 yuan in the first half of the year.
So......
"Donate again next year!" He said.
This is also the limit of what he can do as an ordinary person.
At a very young age, the Spiritual Peace knew the principle of doing everything according to one's ability.

Zhang Hui looked at the card in his hand.
The card is written in regular script, an ancient story, from Zhuangzi's "Emperor Ying".
The emperor of the south is critical, the emperor of the north is sudden, and the emperor of the center is chaos. When you meet in the land of chaos, chaos treats you very well......
This is a story that the little children of the Federal Empire know.
It tells the story of two ancient gods who wanted to repay the kindness of another god, so that this god without eyes, nose, ears, and mouth chiseled out the seven orifices, and finally died in chaos.
This story, which has been taught by elementary school teachers, tells people to go with the flow and not force it.
But......
"Ancestor of the Ling Clan, why are you leaving this story here?!"
"Is there an objective connection between it and the owner of the bookstore?!"
Zhang Hui didn't know, but vaguely, he knew that there might be some kind of connection.
He took the card, turned it over, and on the back of the card, there was a line of words.
"Everyone is afraid of death! Even the gods are no exception! ”
Zhang Hui's brows furrowed tightly.

Chu opened his eyes slightly and found himself sleeping on the bed with his clothes closed.
Now, it's dawn.
The sunlight outside the window falls straight down from the windowsill.
She put on her slippers and walked to the window to look at the bustling streets of Xin'an Province under the sun.
Her phone ticked, she picked it up and saw the text message on it: Weiwei, hurry down, let's go to the shops in Xin'an Province together and buy some souvenirs to go back!
She put down her phone, and her little face finally smiled.
"I'm useless though!" "But at least, I protected people like the captain......
Her captain is a heartless and natural optimist.
Anyway, after knowing each other for so long, Chu Weiwei has never seen what she is afraid of.
Moreover, there has always been a legend among the Black Guards that this captain of hers is a natural lucky star who can turn evil into good fortune no matter what problems he encounters.
Therefore, when there was an accident in the Northern Zhou Dynasty this time, the superiors specially sent this black-clothed guard, who had just been promoted to captain, to lead the team here.
Sure enough, within a few days, the epidemic in Northern Zhou was resolved.
This further deepened the perception of her above, and some people have even started calling her koi.
Even Chu Weiwei's parents specially told her that she must have a good relationship with the captain, and it is best to be a girlfriend or something.
After all, no one can refuse a lucky person on their side.
And in today's revival of aura, the attribute of luck is even more precious.
Only Chu Weiwei knows: All this is not because of the captain's luck, but because the seniors are paying silently.
