Chapter 41: Leisure Time
Rick walked into the cabin, a large bed, and some wooden furniture such as cupboards and hangers. Although the space is small, the layout is simple and exquisite.
He slowly took off his upper clothes, and Rick looked in the mirror and saw that he was almost covered in bruises from his face to his waist.
It doesn't hurt the tendons, it doesn't move the bones, but it can make yourself die of pain and make your whole body numb.
Carefully picked up the wound medicine bottle that Jessica had given him earlier, because the mouth of the bottle was tightly sealed, and he couldn't help but exert a little force on his arm when he twisted it, and the meridians pulled to the injured surface muscles, bringing a tingling pain, making Rick gasp.
Ric poured a brown viscous liquid from the medicine bottle, carefully wiping his body with both hands, and as the wound medicine touched his skin, a cool sensation came from the place where the wound was smeared, completely covering the original pinprick-like pain.
After tidying up a bit, Rick closed the door to the hut and said silently, "Return." ”
Consciousness was clear again, his body was surrounded by a soft bed, and his body was warm and normal, but Rick still felt a wave of exhaustion.
Although it is a physical injury in the game world, the sense of urgency caused by the battle and the pain caused by the injured body cannot be eliminated for a moment after returning to reality.
Rick raised his hand to turn off the light, and drifted into a deep sleep in the darkness.
Noon on the second day
A family of four walked out of the villa with a smile and walked towards the small courtyard of the villa's garden.
On the way, Harvey called Rick to go with him to prepare and carry some barbecue tools.
A few moments later, Harvey and Rick removed the barbecue grill from the warehouse, the liquefied gas gun, and a bag of charcoal. And Elana has prepared a variety of barbecue food.
Pieces of bright red steak, squid skewers, chicken wings, chicken thighs, and a variety of greens and fruit platters.
Harvey lit the charcoal and said, "When I was younger, I used to barbecue with my friends, and at that time there were not such abundant ingredients and barbecue sauces, but the food I baked made my friends praise every time. ”
Elana and Rick were both talking and laughing while listening to Harvey's boasting, and Elanna pointed at Will, who was playing on the grass in the distance, with her gloved finger, and said to Rick, "Rick, go and tell your cousin, don't let him play on the ground, wash your hands and get ready to eat barbecue." ”
"Okay." Rick stopped the vegetables he was washing, then took off his gloves, washed his hands, and walked over to Will.
Will happily plucked the grass on the grass, clutching dirt and scattering it.
Rick walked over to Will, and after seeing that Harvey and Elana were not looking at the situation, he reached out and grabbed the collar of Will's shirt at the back of his neck and lifted him directly from the ground.
"Rick, what are you doing, let me down!"
Will, who was hanging in the air with his collar in his arms, was dancing in the air, especially a pair of small short legs that wanted to kick Rick.
"Wash your hands well, and get ready to come over and eat."
Rick lowered Will from the sky to the ground, and when he let go, Will did not put it away, but walked into Rick's side with his calves, and asked quietly, "Rick, do you have any money?" Lend me some money and I'll pay you back later. And it can give you back more money. ”
Well, Rick was a little curious when he heard Will's question, "What do you want money for?" What about the pocket money you usually earn by folding quilts and cleaning up dishes at home? ”
"I'm telling you, Rick, it's not as simple as money, I'm going to be the new hero, and if you lend me some money, I'll consider letting you share in my honor."
Will said with his head tilted proudly.
"I'll lend it to you, tell me what it is."
Will glanced at his parents and said, "I got a live message on my tablet, you know?" Rick, Captain America is not dead. ”
Rick was a little surprised when he heard Will's words, and then what Will said made him want to laugh a little out loud.
"He's just stuck in Germany, and now he needs $500 to get back to the U.S., and he'll thank me personally when he gets back to the U.S."
"Well, it's really a big deal, I won't lend you money, you need to tell your parents Harvey and Elana about this, and they will support you." Rick Ninja smiled and nodded approvingly.
Following Will, watching him finish washing his hands, he trotted all the way to Elena, who was washing the ingredients, and said, "Mom, I need money, I'm going to be a hero." ”
After listening to Will in confusion, Elana darkened her face, pointed to the chaise longue next to her and said, "You secretly play with the tablet again, you are not allowed to sit alone when you go there,"
Will was stunned when he heard this, two tears rolled in his eyes, and he walked away with a sobbing face.
Harvey on the side had already lit the charcoal in the grill, and the smoke was no longer coming out, and when Rick saw it, he moved the deck chairs and installed the sun umbrellas, and walked over to Harvey to help with the barbecue.
A whole steak is spread out on the barbecue grill, and the aroma is overflowing with the charcoal, and a drop of oil makes a sizzling sound on the red charcoal.
As the steak gradually cooked, Will on the side also sniffed the aroma and quietly got up from the chaise longue and walked to the grill.
"Be careful, don't burn." Rick reached out and stopped Will.
"Haha, do you smell the aroma, it's okay right away, wait a minute." Harvey laughed as he brushed the grilled steak with the barbecue sauce on his brush.
The four of them sat around eating all kinds of roasted meat and vegetables, Harvey forked a piece of meat and handed it to Rick and said: "Tomorrow is the start of high school, your transfer materials are ready, if you have any questions, you can also find the vice principal in the school, that is, your Uncle Mike." ”
"I just took leave in the past two days, I will accompany you today, and report with Rick tomorrow, and then I will be very busy with work and may not have time to go home, so I will stay in the company."
"Why are you so busy, or you should quit your job and go to the university to apply for a job and become a teacher again." Elana complained as she listened.
"Uncle Harvey, do you work for the Osborne Enterprise?" Rick asked tentatively, thinking for a moment.
Harvey was shocked when he heard this, and the fork in his hand couldn't help but tremble, he calmed down and said, "How do you know that I am serving Osborne Enterprises?" ”
"The last time I moved, I saw a car marked with Osborne helping to move things. If you add a well-known bio company in Queens, you will be Osben. Rick snorted and explained.
Harvey didn't think much about it after hearing this, and let go of the doubts in his heart: "Yes, do some biological research." Now is the moment of truth, so you need to be on the lookout at all times. I'll be living in the company for a while. You and Will are going to start school, and your Aunt Elana is going to teach at school. Rick usually helps your Aunt Elanna a lot, and also disciplines your cousin Will. ”
Hearing his name, Will stopped chewing, wiped his face with his oily little hands, and said, "I don't need Rick to take care of me." ”
Everyone laughed and resumed their meal comfortably under the umbrella.
