Chapter 194: Back on Track
Although Xu Lao is talkative, I am not from the Secret Service and the fat man. Therefore, he is very well measured, and when it comes to some so-called confidential content, the old man is vague and very unpleasant to listen to.
He tells us that any religion has a purpose, and the Beveled Organization is no exception. On this basis, all the deceit, faith, regular movements, and irregular contingencies are cloaks.
Seeing the essence through external phenomena is the core of the occult.
Time flies, and as we enter May, it took less than a month for the fat man and my injuries to heal before and after.
It is said that it takes 100 days to break the muscles and bones, and the reason why we get better so quickly is because of the glutinous rice dumplings.
Because of the second senior sister's "Miaolu", the little stinky fart has also recovered. She didn't seem to like the atmosphere of the sanatorium, always saying that it was like a prison and clamoring to get out.
It's not easy to get in to the Hero's Sanatorium, and it's even harder to get out. Nie Yang was busy with business and didn't have time to accompany us, so he entrusted Xiao Peng with carte blanche to help us go through the discharge procedures.
After she was busy for two days, and the fat man and I signed a confidentiality agreement dozens of pages thick, the cumbersome formalities were finally completed. Of course, the prize of 200,000 yuan is also in hand.
We wanted to visit the homes of the two fallen soldiers, but we were told that the home addresses of the Secret Service officers were confidential and could not be disclosed to the outside world.
There is no way, after discussing with the fat man, I took out half of the 200,000 bonus this time and divided it into two parts, and asked Xiao Peng to transfer it to the families of the two sacrificed Secret Service soldiers, which can be regarded as expressing gratitude.
After everything was done, Xiao Peng accompanied us, and we got into a van that looked ordinary on the outside, but had a hole in the inside.
The windows of this car are black, and they feel less like glass than metal, and you can't see the scenery outside the window from the inside, so I don't know if it's a high-tech bulletproof material.
After driving for about two hours, we finally saw the familiar Wendong Road and the store again, and we hadn't seen it for a month, and we felt like we were in a different world.
We said goodbye to Xiao Peng and thanked her and Nie Yang again for their help during this time. Xiao Peng shook hands with me and the fat man with a smile, saying that we are both revolutionary comrades, you are welcome, if she has difficulties in the future, we must also be duty-bound.
The sun shone on the shoulders of the female assistant of the Secret Service, and her neat short hair fluttered in the afternoon breeze.
Spring City was dry in the spring, and the store door was opened, but in just one month, a thick layer of ash had already fallen on the Bogu shelves and tables and the ground in the store.
A fat bird like a fat hen is flapping its wings in the air, and its mouth is noisy: "I'll roast!" Fourth, where did you go to wave with the fat man? I'm going to starve to death in the next few days, so why don't I go buy roast chicken to serve! ”
Lord Bai was also there, she was lazily lying on the sofa, glancing at me, and seemed to be a little puzzled: "Su Bai, are you injured?" ”
The little stinky fart flew out of the treacherous card on my chest with a whoosh, and collapsed on the sofa with a big thorn, crossed Erlang's legs, and there was no ladylike image at all: "Whew...... It's better to go home, suffocate me in prison......"
The glutinous rice dumplings also flew out of the food trick card, jumping up and down to the little stinky fart on the sofa, chirping in their mouths, full of flattery.
The little stinky fart frowned, pulled the glutinous rice dumplings over, and pinched them in her hand like plasticine, and I was really worried that she would pinch this little guy and explode.
The fat bird saw the little stinky fart, and instantly forgot about the chicken, he waved his wings, and held the little girl's stinky feet with a shy face: "What's the matter?" Who bullied my little wife? My lord, I'm going to kill him! ”
Lord Bai laughed and said Su Bai, you are such a big leader, are you the master or she is the boss?
I threw my hands up in surrender, saying she was the boss and we all had to listen to her!
As the family officially gathered, the atmosphere instantly became joyful.
I told Master Bai and Lao Bi about our adventure in detail, and asked them where they had gone these days.
Lord Bai said that the reason why Lao Bi became the fat hen-like cowardly appearance he is now is because he has a seal on his body. She researched again and again, and found that this seal was very strange, and she was not sure of breaking it with her own ability.
Therefore, she took Lao Bi out this time, mainly to visit an old friend, but unfortunately she didn't find it, so she could only return disappointed.
Regarding the strong enemy we encountered, the Lama and the Corpse Boy, Lord Bai said that she was not familiar with these oblique organizations in the human world, and could not give any constructive advice.
For the corpse boy who has become a demon, Lord Bai explained it like this, saying that the demon is a kind of demonic thing at the bottom, although they can enter the demon world, their identity is more like a low-level animal and plant in the world, and they are very fragile.
In line with the statement of glutinous rice dumplings, Lord Bai told me that if you want to fully use the strength of glutinous rice dumplings, the only way is through continuous training.
In addition, she also said that the environment where my store is located is too poor, and it is not in the downtown area of the city, so I can only play the idea of the old community and construction site nearby, and the flow of people and business that can be attracted are limited.
If you want to continuously improve your level and cultivation, it is best to open a store in a prosperous place, or change to a higher platform.
This kind of exercise is necessary, not only can enhance one's own cultivation, but also helps the strength of the little stinky fart and glutinous rice dumplings, which are complementary to each other.
Actually, I'm not an ambitious person, and I'm even a little bit wealthy.
After going through so many hardships, now that life is finally back on track, I just want to live in peace and security in my own small shop.
But what Lord Bai said is not unreasonable, life is a boat against the current, and there will be many emergencies and unwarranted disasters. Especially in the circle of cultivators, it's not like you can sit back and relax if you want to keep to yourself.
If you don't have the ability to resist risks, just like this time when you faced the corpse boy and the Lama of the Frontier and almost wiped out the whole army, the ending of losing your life and ending up "dead" is not a joke.
But it's so easy to open a store in a busy area!
Although the current income level of the fat man and I is not bad, the commercial bustling area of Quancheng is every inch of land, and we can't even see a splash of our hundreds of thousands of funds. This money was earned by the two of us with all our lives, and it was distressing to spend it.
If it were a better platform, Nie Yang had invited us to join the Secret Service several times.
But first, we don't have a decent record, and we don't need help from others. Second, once you enter this kind of official unit, you can only obey and cannot act according to your own will.
This does not include the workplace logic, intrigue, etc., I was born with no talent in this area, and I have a straight temperament, so I can't hold other people's stinky feet at all.
Alas...... It's annoying to think about.
