Chapter 2 Departure
Huaguo, Canglan Province in the central hinterland, Donghai City.
In this evening, Xia Jie appeared in his rental house again a second after disappearing from wearing a pair of underwear, the difference is that he has a bunch of strange things in his hands.
As soon as I returned to the room, a hot air instantly enveloped me, unlike the autumn and winter seasons in the killing city, it was still summer, and there was only one floor fan running in the room, and the wind blowing out did not have the slightest coolness.
"Haha, it's really possible." Xia Jie put the things in his hand on the side of the bed and smiled happily.
This pile of things clearly tells him that from today on, his fate will be turned upside down, the miserable life of the past will be gone forever, as long as he completes more rescue tasks, he will get more, and one day, he will stand at the top of this world!
"Tomorrow I'm going to buy a new phone, then I'm going to leave the city and rent a house in that little town where I want to stay." Xia Jie looked at the simple room, and felt more and more that this place was too narrow and cramped!
"I shouldn't be dragged down by going to work, making money, and having a house. Just like in Kill City, I should train early and dedicate myself to the rescue mission! ”
"As long as the strength is strong enough, what I want to have, there will be after all!"
Xia Jie stroked the reinforcement suit, black knife, X pistol, and muttered to himself.
He originally thought that with a strong protective suit, he would have a superhuman physique, and it would not be a matter of effort to earn some money or make some money? But now his mentality has long been very different.
Strong protective clothing is strong, but it is also limited.
And life and the future are unlimited!
There is really no need for him to expose himself and risk himself for the sake of money and material things. These things are external, and only the power of becoming stronger, and the mission of salvation full of strangeness, are eternal.
After a night without words, Xia Jie slowly fell asleep holding this pile of things.
Early the next morning, he used a backpack to carry his reinforcement clothes and other things with him, and then went to a mobile phone store on the street to buy a new mobile phone, a full-screen bezel-less 4.7-inch space black mobile phone, worth 2399 Yanhuang coins Huaguo Fengshen T9.
He plugged in his signal card and saw that the number on it was still kept, and then he dialed the phone number named Brother Liu.
"Hello? Xia Jie, hey? What are you doing turtles, I can't get through after five or six phone calls to you in the morning! Come on, I didn't count you as absenteeism! ”
An authentic Shu accent came through T9's headset, Xia Jie smiled when he heard this, didn't he count as absenteeism? It's going to be two or three hours old, okay?
Brother Liu is still very enthusiastic, including Lao Litou, they also take great care of him on weekdays, so he is ready to leave today, and he also wants to invite them to have a meal before leaving.
"No, Brother Liu, my phone was broken yesterday, what, I won't be here in Xiyue Huafu, I'm going to go out and have a look, find a place to settle down." Kindness? Girlfriend? yes, yes, no, I'm not too young. That's okay, you can settle the salary and call me, and call Lao Li Tou out to get together later, right? Well, okay, it's the restaurant we usually go to. ”
Xia Jie and the other end of the phone said a word, but in less than half a minute, the call ended, under Brother Liu's own brain, he thought that Xia Jie, this kid was Sichun, and wanted to go out to find his daughter-in-law, so he laughed and didn't ask more.
As for why you have to go out to find your daughter-in-law, why don't you just look for it in the East China Sea?
This is because Huaguo's unique development structure is destined to be different, and since the last century, Huaguo's industrial center of gravity has been developing in the mainland.
Because of its large population and vast resources, China is self-sufficient in everything from cutting-edge technology to ordinary livelihood technology, and it is like a self-circulating world-class economy, so the coastal city is just a port that intersects with foreign countries, and belongs to the cities outside the third tier.
Donghai City, Canglan Province, is located in the hinterland of China, is the center of gravity of the country, where there are many people and projects, and housing prices are extremely high.
There are 17 first-tier cities in the entire Huaguo Super League, and there are nearly 100 first-tier cities, and Hanyu City, where Xia Jie has always wanted to settle down, is located in the southwest and is a city with a strong sense of identity in his heart. It is located in the second line, belongs to the basin, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the life is quiet.
In the second- to third-tier secondary cities of China, housing prices are very cheap, so it is normal for Brother Liu to only think that Xia Jie wants to take advantage of his youth and want to work hard to build his own home.
Not long after, after Xia Jie finished the call, he bought a high-speed rail ticket on his mobile phone that runs through the entire Huaguo, and at 2:01 in the afternoon, the train will stop in Donghai City and arrive in Hanyu at 7 o'clock in the evening.
Immediately, he rushed back to the rental house and cleaned up some change of clothes, as for the cotton wool, quilt covers, electric fans, etc., they were all from the landlord, and he also wiped them out. Other than that, he had nothing left to take with him.
After packing everything, carrying a backpack and a large plastic bag in his hand, Xia Jie left here without looking back, went straight to the agreed restaurant, ordered three meats, two vegetables and one soup, and sat and waited for five catties of self-brewed sorghum wine.
Under his self-regulation, the tyrannical state in the killing city is also well hidden in the depths of his heart, except for the slightly stronger body, he is no different from before, and he is wearing a loose short-sleeved shorts outside, and his figure is even more invisible.
So after Liu Hu and Lao Li Tou came, they didn't find anything strange about Xia Jie.
After Brother Liu took his seat, he picked up the wine glass that had been poured and went straight to the point.
"Come, Xiaojie, Brother Liu will drink with you first, Lao Li, you will accompany you, this kid finally remembered to go to his daughter-in-law, this should be happy, it is a happy event!"
Brother Liu's real name is Liu Hu, a middle-aged man with a big belly, with a relationship of more than ten years in society, he has been the head of a small engineering team, with more than a dozen people under his hands, often traveling to various construction sites, Xia Jie is also one of them.
Although Lao Li is called Lao Li, he is actually not a few years older than Liu Hu, but he likes prostitution very much, and his body has always been thin, and he can only mix a bite of food with a skill, and he is also the master who took Xia Jie at the beginning, and taught him a lot of things.
"Ah, it's good for you kid to find a daughter-in-law, after trying it, you will know how beautiful it tastes, and then you will know that Lao Tzu said every day that I invite you to wash your feet and massage together, which is really good for you."
Lao Li Tou also picked up a glass of sorghum wine, smiled and touched glasses with the two.
Xia Jie smiled dumbly, when he first came, Lao Li encouraged him a lot, although he sincerely invited him to play, and he didn't have to pay for it, but Xia Jie couldn't get over that hurdle himself, he bypassed the topic and said: "Haha, seriously, I really want to thank the two brothers for taking care of me here, I'm here to toast you!" ”
"Don't mention anything disrespectful, do it!"
"!"
The meal lasted less than an hour, and Liu Hu went to the toilet halfway and wanted to secretly go to check out, but was told that Xia Jie had already paid for the meal, so he had no choice but to give up.
After drinking, the two simply stopped going to work in the afternoon, and pulled Xia Jie to wash up the afternoon.
"Let's go, I have to let you do anything today, don't find a daughter-in-law to make jokes when the time comes."
Lao Li Tou was naturally a serious persuasion, Xia Jie smiled and raised his bag: "Brother, I really don't want to go, I have to catch a car, the high-speed rail at two o'clock is direct." I'll ask you to wash it, and I'll sit with you for a while. ”
Liu Hu is not a person with a brain on the brain, he patted Xia Jie's shoulder and smiled: "Then forget it, if you have this heart, let you invite us to play the mother-in-law?" I don't have that to say! Okay, you're too lazy to rush, it's not too early at this time, you go directly to the station, and we'll meet again when we have time later. ”
Xia Jie nodded, promising that there would definitely be opportunities in the future, and the three of them chatted on the street for a while, and then said goodbye.
A few big men didn't say goodbye, life is supposed to come and go, it's normal, and the engineering team is even more so.
There are three high-speed rail stations in Donghai City, Xia Jie took Metro Line 7 directly to the station where he bought a ticket, which is densely populated in spring, summer, autumn and winter, but he easily inserted into the crowd with his pimple meat, and took the ticket into the station in one go.
And the reinforced suit X pistol and the like in his backpack were swept by the security equipment, and there was nothing abnormal, and the staff directly let him go, because it was not a prohibited item at all.
In the perspective panel of the instrument, the Reinforcement Suit was a bizarre costume at best, while the X-pistol and black hilt were like toys when not activated.
Without gunpowder, without flammable and explosive chemical components, how could two iron lumps be dangerous? Moreover, the technology of the black ball does not belong to this world, and its standard equipment can be screened out by a high-speed rail security inspection instrument in China.
As for the adrenaline injection ring, Xia Jie wore it directly on his wrist as an ornament.
At 2:01, the high-speed train entered the station on time, and Xia Jie, who had been waiting for nearly half an hour, followed the squirming crowd and submerged into the wide carriage.
In the sparse voice in the carriage, Xia Jie embedded the headphones that come with the new mobile phone, casually flipped through the software he re-downloaded, and watched movies on it with traffic, which is not just entertainment, but a very important process of information collection.
In the world of regrets, what he looked for was all regrettable movies with a lot of reviews, and movies with comedies and good endings were not in his range of choices.
In the past ten or twenty years, with the collision of the East and the West, the soft culture war has already begun, China is exporting its thousand-year-old culture to the world, and the West is also counter-dumping their wild fantasies.
It can be said that in just one century, in the course of human civilization, the spiritual food produced has surpassed the sum of thousands of years before.
Xia Jie kept looking at his phone, and he was dazzled by the colorful pictures, and soon he was slightly sleepy under the influence of the wine, so he simply took off the headphones and put the phone in his pocket, squinting and resting.
