Volume 1 Storm Chapter 060 Eight Thousand Gold Coins (3)
There are some people, even if you are far away from them, or even if you have no contact with them at all, but you only need to look at them to know if they will become friends.
But there are some people, even if they stand in front of you, smile sincerely at you, and say a bunch of things that seem to be heartfelt, however, your judgment seems to be instantly unconfident, and you can't tell whether he is friend or foe.
Nangong Siyuan is the latter.
"Won't tell?"
Lao Xu was extremely worried, he couldn't help but move half a step back, unloaded the hand on his shoulder, and then looked at Nangong Siyuan repeatedly with a suspicious face, as if he had fallen into a whirlpool of suspicion.
"This Nangong kid is not as simple as it seems on the surface, is he playing tricks on me? Or do you really want to keep it a secret for us? Ouch, I'm ...... Should you trust him or not? ”
Just when Lao Xu was uncertain, three knocks on the door suddenly sounded behind him, Lao Xu and Nangong Siyuan looked back at the same time, and saw an extraordinarily tall and burly person standing outside the door of the ward, and the top of the door only happened to be past his ribs. He wore a light and loose sportswear and held a bamboo basket in his hand, but instead of fruit, the basket contained some dry food stored in the inn's warehouse.
"Annoyed!" Lao Xu exclaimed in surprise and joy.
Ah Fu turned sideways nearly ninety degrees before he finally showed his face and looked radiant.
"Mr. Xu, I've come to see you. Yikes! Sir Nangong, you are also here! Ah Fu smiled at the two of them, then twisted the bamboo basket, and finally got through the door of the ward.
Seeing that Ah Annoy's demeanor was no different from the past, as if he had not been affected in the slightest by being stunned, Lao Xu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Ah Annoy, why do you look like nothing at all!" No wonder I've been walking around the hospital so much in the past two days, and I haven't seen any trace of you, where have you been? ”
Ah Fu lightly placed the bamboo basket on the cabinet, just pressed the fifteen-page payment slip, and luckily avoided the shocking line of text.
"This ......" Ah annoyed hunched over and smiled bitterly.
Nangong Siyuan smiled lightly and said in a deep voice: "Not long after he was sent to the hospital, the examination has not yet started, and the person has already woken up. ”
Ah Fu nodded, followed Nangong Siyuan's words, and said with a smile: "Yes...... I've always had a strong body, and I've been able to recover in a blink of an eye from my injuries, except for the last time...... When the nurses saw that I woke up so soon and that I had nothing to earn from my medical expenses, they drove me back to the middle floor...... Mr. Xu, you may not know that it is not easy to visit you! I waited for the approval notice for two days, no, as soon as I got the approval today, I came over immediately...... By the way, those dry foods are all prepared by Yun Yi for you, and he is afraid that you will feel hungry if you don't eat or drink here......"
Lao Xu glanced at the dry food, including biscuits, bread and steamed buns, each of which was difficult to swallow. However, as soon as Lao Xu thought of the huge amount of food and drink on the payment bill, and then thought about himself who had eaten and drunk in the past two days, for a while, he just wanted to slap himself twice, and scolded secretly: "Look at this greedy mouth!" Why don't you know how to endure it for two days! For just two days, people starved to death! Alas, ahh Those 8,000 gold coins can save at least half! ”
When Lao Xu came to his senses, he was surprised to find that Ah Fu had come to him, and he saw Ah Fu probing left and right to make sure that there was no nurse near the ward, and then hurried out of his trouser pocket
took out two bottles of drinking water, one bottle was handed to Nangong Siyuan, and the other bottle was handed to Lao Xu.
"Chief Nangong, Mr. Xu, you drink."
Nangong Siyuan was stunned for a moment, pushed away the water bottle with a serious face, and said coldly: "I don't need it." ”
And Lao Xu didn't think about prevarication, and the dryness in his throat didn't allow him to refuse. Therefore, he could only snatch the water bottle with one hand, quickly unscrew the cap, choked up, and then drank the bottle of water in the blink of an eye.
The moment the water slid down his throat, Lao Xu's mind went blank, and he shook his head in a trance, as if he was drunk. It wasn't until the water molecules completely moistened his thirsty body, and after he couldn't help but burp loudly, that his spirit was put back together piece by piece, as if reborn.
Nangong Siyuan saw that Lao Xu drank water so freely, and couldn't help but feel envious. After all, it had been a long time since he had been able to drink water so happily, and as a Silver Ring security officer, he had to face hundreds of townspeople every day who died of water shortages because they couldn't afford it.
From the initial heartache to the current relief, Nangong Siyuan still hates himself for not being able to save even a single life. If he happens to have a bottle of water in his hand, he would rather give it to those who are short of water than have it for himself.
Although Nangong Siyuan refused very seriously, Ah Fu still saw through his heart's desire at a glance.
"Chief Nangong, you don't have to be polite to me." Saying that, Ah Fu unscrewed the cap of the bottle without assertion, and then sent it to Nangong Siyuan with both hands, and said in a particularly sincere tone, "If it weren't for your help, Miss Xu would ...... It's not as simple as staying in the amethyst mine. ”
As soon as the words fell, Lao Xu coughed violently twice, driving his stomach to churn violently, and he couldn't control it for a while, like a watering can, spraying water all over the bed, and the scene was extremely disgusting. After relieving for a while, Lao Xu reluctantly relented, covered his chest with one hand, glanced at Ah Fu on the left, and Nangong Siyuan on the right.
"What?! Annoyance, do you know what's going on? Nangong boy, what the hell are you ...... Ouch! You two must make it clear to me! What the hell is going on?! ”
Ah Fu smiled bitterly, and quickly explained: "Mr. Xu, you may not know that when I woke up in the hospital, there were security officers all over the floor, and they were all like wolves, and there was only Miss Xu in their eyes. However, they didn't see Miss Xu's figure, and they came to ask Chief Nangong in a hurry, thinking that he was greedy for a bounty and hid Miss Xu. Moreover, even a team of security officers arrived, and each of them had a weapon, and many parties almost clashed and demolished this floor! Anyone who sees that scene is terrified! ”
"Later, I learned that Chief Nangong expected that such a situation would happen, so when he came to the hospital, he deliberately divided us and Miss Xu into two groups. Not long after, the news came that Miss Xu had been sent to the amethyst mine, and the guards saw that there was no chance to take advantage of it, so they left the hospital in dismay. In retrospect, Chief Nangong, you are really clever, if it weren't for you, Miss Xu would have been captured by those 'beasts'. ”
Nangong Siyuan frowned, and after taking a sip of water, he looked back at the flowing white clouds outside the window, and couldn't help but sigh.
And Lao Xu was stunned when he heard this, touched his chin, and hesitated: "Really...... Is it really that scary? ”
Ah Fu nodded, "Mr. Xu."
, I always have a question I want to ask you, who is that Qiu Qiong? Is there anything you've been hiding from me? ”
Lao Xu was shocked, blinked quickly, and said nervously: "She, she...... She's just a very ordinary little girl...... It seems harmless to humans and animals, and sometimes it is silly...... Annoying, don't think too much, Qiu Qiong has always stayed in Lazy Town, and she doesn't take a step out of the gate on weekdays, and it is impossible to come to Greedy Town! I vouch for my life, she has absolutely nothing to do with Greedy Town! ”
At this time, Nangong Siyuan glanced at Lao Xu sideways, as if exclaiming: "Oh my God, how can someone tell a lie as if it were true!" ”
"Ordinary?" Ah Fu was dumbfounded for a moment and scratched his head, "A few days ago, didn't Miss Xu say that Qiu Qiong was the hero of Lazy Town, who would fly to the sky and be omnipotent?" How can that be ordinary? ”
Lao Xu was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, but he didn't expect that Qiu Qiong's inadvertent words would become the biggest loophole in his lie.
"I have suffered it, how should I answer! If it is said that she flew away by nano clothes, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling him clearly that Nana is Qiu Qiong! Oh, Lao Xu, use your brains quickly! ”
Just when Ah Fu's expression became more and more confused and alert, Nangong Siyuan suddenly turned around, raised his right hand, and replied with a light smile: "It's very simple, the most powerful thing in their lazy town is not the intelligent machine!" With the help of intelligent machines, I think flying away from the sky is just a common thing. Mr. Xu, am I right? ”
Lao Xu's eyes suddenly lit up, thinking, yes! She is not the only one in Lazy Town who can go to heaven and earth! If you have a smart machine to build a foundation, say it directly, what's the problem!
"Yes, yes, yes! Flying away in our town is not uncommon at all! Lao Xu nodded his head five times and explained, "Our town experienced a civil strife not long ago, and Qiu Qiong is just the one who performs slightly better among the many people who can go to heaven and earth and can do anything!" Alas, it's a pity that I had something very important at that time, otherwise I would have been able to go to heaven and earth! ”
"And the reason why I say that she is a very ordinary little girl is that she is without the assistance of intelligent machines! Annoying, think about it, Nana doesn't have the help of a smart machine, so she still kicks you unconscious! But what can Qiu Qiong do, without the help of intelligent machines, she can't do anything......"
Lao Xu chuckled in his heart, his brows were instantly unraveled, and suddenly, his face was unusually solemn and frozen.
"Can't do anything......"
At this moment, Lao Xu couldn't tell whether what he was saying was a lie or the truth.
Ah Fu touched his stomach, as if he could still feel pain, and after a while, he suddenly nodded and said with a smile: "I see!" No wonder Miss Xu looked unhappy when she said that, it turned out that it was because she was obviously better than that Qiu Qiong, but the limelight was all robbed! ”
Nangong Siyuan squinted his eyes, and couldn't help but snort coldly, he really didn't expect that Ah Fu was completely convinced, and his thinking was so strange.
"By the way, I have one more question. Sir Nangong, why are you helping us? ”
Suddenly, Nangong Siyuan took a long breath, raised his hand in a panic, looked straight ahead with a slightly empty gaze, and after a sigh, replied: "I know you are very confused, you must be suspicious, what is the purpose of my help you?" But frankly, I don't know...... It's a strange feeling......"
