Chapter 31: Money
In fact, for those rich people in Xiangjiang, the loss of a helicopter at home is not a big deal.
Among them, some of them regard helicopters as a display of wealth, and some want to use helicopters as the most convenient means of transportation, and they dare not use them often. After all, if something happens in the sky, there is no place to escape.
The key problem is that the helicopter has disappeared too grotesquely. Come to think of it, moving such a large behemoth without leaving any traces, except for the Xuanmen, there is really nothing to explain.
Therefore, as soon as they heard that Li Zhenhua, who was sitting in the capital, had returned to Xiangjiang, whether they had lost their helicopters or not, and even the wealthy people in Xiangjiang who had not bought helicopters at all, they rushed to Li's house one after another.
Li Zhenhua spent a day receiving these rich people. His energy was getting weaker and weaker. At night, when Li Xing came to him, he had already closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Li Xing had to wait quietly. He knew that his father's sleep was short. Unfortunately, he didn't know that his father's sleep frequency had been increasing recently, and his body was declining at an accelerated pace.
Finally, Li Zhenhua opened his eyes.
"Father," Li Xing hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and put on his coat.
"You're here!" After Li Zhenhua got dressed, he stood up, took the wet wipes handed by his son, and wiped his face and hands.
"These people see the wind and rain," Li Xing helped his father sit down again. "The slightest wind blows, and I am terrified."
"Don't blame them," Li Zhenhua waved his hand. "In recent years, there have been countless wonders in the world. Not to mention them, even I am a little afraid of 'the mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings'. ”
Li Feng didn't say anything more, and motioned for Uncle Zhen to bring the food.
"Listen to Uncle Zhen, do you think the disappearance of the airport oil depot and helicopter was committed by one person?" Li Zhenhua only ate a few bites of food, and then he couldn't eat anymore. He didn't want his son to worry, so he came up with the topic.
"Yes, father," Li Xing was of course worried about his father's health. If he hadn't heard Ning Xiao say that his father had resisted his life and there was no cure, he wouldn't have found out that his father's illness had reached such a serious point until now.
He showed the ring on his little finger and explained, "I went to see it too." Father, I can tell you unequivocally that no one has the ability to make these things disappear in such a short period of time, leaving no trace, except for space shifting! ”
"Oh," Li Zhenhua's eyes lit up. "Although I heard Uncle Zhen talk about the magic of this ring, and I heard you describe the size of the space on the phone, I haven't really seen it yet. When you have time, you can show it to your father! ”
"Yes!" Li Xing responded. With a few waves of his hand, all the furniture in the room vanished, including the table they were occupying with tea.
However, Li Zhenhua did not show a shocked expression, but slowly drank the remaining tea in his hand. When he was about to put down the teacup, Li Xing waved his hand again to return all the furniture to its original position.
After half a ring, Li Zhenhua spoke: "In this way, your analysis is correct. So, could the disappearance of the airport oil depot and helicopter be the work of the same Miss Ning who gave you the ring? ”
"No, father," Li Xing's tone was firm. "This kind of spatial relocation is quite difficult to implement at a long distance."
"I remember that when Miss Ning first came to us, she still climbed over the courtyard gate to see the strange rocks. Now, traces of her crossing can still be found above the courtyard gate. ”
"Oh, oh!" Li Zhenhua quickly captured the strangeness of Li Xing's speech. "In this way, it seems that you still have a good impression of that Miss Ning."
"Yes," Li Xing didn't want to hide his father, who was not in good health. "She has the most virtuous character of a Chinese girl, which cannot be found in Xiangjiang girls......"
"But, Xing'er!" In the face of Li Xing's gushing narration, Li Zhenhua interrupted him. "She is an outsider, and she may disappear from this world at any time. Then you will never find her. Is there still little record of this similar event in ancient books? ”
"Father, I still think she is no different from a normal girl, she has a family, relatives, and ......" So, Li Xing told Miao Ruyu again. In fact, she has left many clues enough for us to find her. ”
"Xing'er," looked at Li Xing's eyes as he spoke, revealing the joy and joy. Li Zhenhua couldn't help but close his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, his clear eyes revealed shrewdness and helplessness. "You've probably heard of possession!"
"No, father," Hearing this, Li Xing suddenly felt a basin of cold water running from his head to his feet. "Her behavior and mannerisms, and how she gets along with her own brother...... None of them showed anything abnormal, and they all matched her age and origin. ”
"Xing'er," Seeing Li Xing's excited appearance, Li Zhenhua interrupted his argument very harshly. However, she asked for a lot of seeds from Xiangjiang to return to China. I'm sure you've seen her hands. Would you believe it was a pair of farming hands? ”
"Father!" After a long time, Li Xing finally had to cover his face with his hands. "She's really a good girl. She is generous and decent, humble and forbearing, and I feel very comfortable with her. I wanted your permission to pursue her......"
"Alright, alright, everything will pass." Li Zhenhua had to comfort Li Xing like this.
In the end, he stared at his son very seriously and said, "Xing'er, for the first time, in order to save you, I will risk my own life." If he wants to save you again the second time, you say, what will your father take to counter it? ”
"Father!" This made Li Xing a little unbearable.
He could only sob, lamenting the death of his fruitless admiration.
Ning Xiao, who didn't know that he had been unrequited by someone, was facing the chickens and dogs at home this time.
In order to appease the doubts of the parents about their children who have not returned for a long time after returning home, the five sisters and brothers discussed it and decided to take out 30 million from the remaining 80 million, saying that they won 50 million in Bomen Casino, but the casino did not give money.
In the end, they had to help the relevant departments in Huaxia. After several negotiations, the casino finally gave 30 million.
I didn't think about it, but after listening to their explanation, and looking at the money in the five backpacks, the father immediately picked up the stick and beat the quadruplets severely. Mothers criticize their daughters harshly.
This made Ning Xiao and the quadruplets stupid: why should they be trained and beaten when they came back with so much money?
However, after punishing their children, when Ning Zongnan and Ma Xiuyun faced the pile of Huaxia coins again, their ecstasy could no longer be hidden, they sang and danced, and went crazy all night.
Let Ning Xiao and the quadruplets be stupid again: this only took out 30 million, and they were happy like this. If they take out 50 million next time, will they be happily sent to a psychiatric hospital?
Finally, a family of seven was able to sit down together for a family meeting.
"Ahem, ahem!" Ning Zongnan cleared his throat. "Mom and Dad punished you because you went to the casino to gamble. You must know that gambling is extremely dangerous, and it is still a trivial matter to go bankrupt, and the most feared thing is to lose your life there. ”
"Dad," Ning Boxiao immediately retorted. "We didn't go to the casino to gamble. Our family is poor, we don't even have pocket money, how can we go to the casino to gamble? We just happened to visit the casino. Inadvertently, the slot machine was drawn, and the more you win, the more you win. ”
"Smack! Smack! Ning Zongnan suddenly slapped the table. You're the boss, and it's not right to lead your three younger brothers into the casino. Do you think I'm beating you less? ”
"Dad," Uncle Ning Xiao also spoke. "Otherwise, we'll return the 30 million to the casino. It just so happens that they don't like us too much! ”
"Excuse me," Ning Zongnan slapped the table again. "You're embarrassed to say that. My sister and brother were detained, so you don't know how to call your parents first! Maybe Dad will come back for more......"
"Dad, Dad," Ning Zhongxiao felt that discussing gambling would be endless. He had to get the family meeting back to its purpose. "You said 30 million, what should we do?"
"What can I do?" Ning Zongnan had no choice but to stop slapping the table. "If the 30 million is a lottery win, you take it home, and we still have the face to tell the next door about where the money came from."
"But you make money from gambling, what do you tell us to say? I can't say that I, Ning Zongnan, am a big gambler, leading you little gamblers to Bomen and winning a lot of money back, right? What a bad reputation! ”
The five siblings couldn't help but glance at each other: yes, why didn't they find this reason to win the lottery in the first place?
"Mom, Mom," the youngest Ning Jixiao has always been very pampered in front of his parents. "Then I won't live here. We went elsewhere to buy a new house to live in. ”
"Oh, that's right," Jing Ning Jixiao said, and Ma Xiuyun remembered something. She said to Ning Xiao: "Xiao'er, the house has been mortgaged, do you know about this?" I remember that the title deed was placed with you. ”
"Uh-huh," Ning Xiao glanced at the quadruplets. "Mom, the real estate deed is here for me. As for the house being mortgaged, I can't tell for a while......"
At this moment, the quadruplets are constantly shrinking their necks: Sister, sister, don't throw this black pot to me, I can't catch it!
