Chapter 8 The suburbs, snowy nights, children playing football
After a night of cultivation after awakening, Chu Lin slowly opened his eyes, because of the cultivation of the Fire Spirit Pupil, his eyesight had increased, his eyes were clearer than usual, and his senses had also improved greatly after awakening, as if he could feel the breath of every pore in his body, and he also seemed to be able to hear the sound of falling snow outside the window. Although he didn't sleep all night, Chu Lin found that his spirit was unusually full, and the interference caused by the evil "Li Xugang" was also swept away. Standing up lightly, he suddenly felt that his whole body was full of strength, and an unprecedented sense of muscle explosion filled every inch of his skin, and the cold in winter almost had no effect on Chu Lin, who was shirtless at this time.
Reciting the magic in his mouth silently, his right hand suddenly poked out, and a strange flame suddenly arose between his index finger and middle finger, and the red flame flickered on his fingertips, and seeing this phenomenon, Chu Lin closed his palms with satisfaction. Silently recalling his life over the years: from childhood to the poverty of his family, without the warmth of his parents' care, he has long learned to live alone, he is used to loneliness and is tired of sadness, and he shouts to leave his parents every day and night, but the funny thing is that he doesn't even know what the names of his biological parents are. I also don't know why my grandfather and grandmother are so shy about telling the truth of everything.
Could it be that in this world, have parents ever offended some people who can't be provoked? Or did they fall on the way to slay demons, so grandma didn't want to let herself embark on this road of no return, for fear that she would repeat the mistakes of the past? Or maybe her parents were high-level mysterious people at a certain level, and it was inconvenient to disclose them? Thinking of this, Chu Lin suddenly remembered his grandfather, and then picked up his mobile phone and dialed his grandfather's phone, and the phone beeped over there. An old and slightly majestic voice rang out: "Hey, Chu Lin. ”
This is what his grandfather has always called Chu Lin, and he has never called him any affectionate title. Hearing his grandfather's voice, Chu Lin's heart felt a rare warmth, and he asked timidly: "Grandpa, I have now opened that package and inherited the family inheritance, can you tell me the news about my parents?"
It's no wonder that Chu Lin is resistant, after all, after asking so many times, none of them got what he wanted. Chu Lin's grandfather was silent for a while, and a slightly deep voice came: "Chu Lin, neither your grandmother nor I want you to step into this world, but you are finally here, since you have your own choice, we will not interfere anymore, and practicing the exercises well is enough to protect yourself." Remember not to conflict with other immortal cultivators, as for the news of your parents, even if I die, I won't tell you, so you can rest assured. ”
The sound of each word echoed in Chu Lin's mind, and he only felt that his mind was a little dizzy by these words put together. In jerky words, he replied with a squeak: "Okay, grandpa, grandson has written it down, I wish you good health".
"When you reach the Zhuyuan period, come and contact me again," Grandpa left such a sentence and hung up the phone directly.
Listening to the sound of the disconnection prompt over there, Chu Lin's heart was already blank, why, why is this happening, even if he has stepped into the door of Huo Qi cultivation now, he has no right to know the news of his parents.
In the midst of pain, Chu Lin clenched his hands and made a crisp sound. Raising his eyes in an instant, crimson fire flickered in his pupils, and the scorching flames filled every part of his body. "Since you don't tell me the answer, then let me unravel the mystery myself," he said, spreading his right hand, a demonic flame burning in his hand, and then clenching his fist, the flame was extinguished. Chu Lin's eyes looked into the distance, and his heart was suddenly full of pride.
A good man and three gangs, Chu Lin immediately dialed the fat man's phone. Still blindly lazy voice came: "Hey, Brother Lin, you haven't been killed by a ghost yet, I'm so happy." ”
Chu Lin didn't get angry when he heard this kind of "greeting" that he was not beaten, although his grandmother said that his cultivation was not enough for outsiders, but Chu Lin had never treated a fat man as an outsider since he was a child, and said straight to the point: "Fat man, if I say that I am an immortal cultivator now, can you believe it?"
The fat man over there laughed when he heard this: "Brother Lin, you are making the ghost scared, it's okay, it's okay, I'll quit my job next week and go over there to accompany you, there is a fat man, let him be a demon and a monster can't help you."
"I guess you won't believe it, your words are unfounded, and when you come over next week, my brother will show you your hands." Chu Lin, who had already guessed the result, didn't want to talk to the fat man, so he said indifferently.
After practicing hard in the dormitory every day for a few days, Chu Lin's work-related injury leave was finally completed. In the early morning, the sun was shining and the air was exceptionally fresh, but the snow outside showed no signs of melting. Chu Lin woke up from meditation, and in the past few days, he had not really slept in the sense, but had been in cultivation. To Chu Lin's surprise, although there was no phenomenon of Bigu in the legend, Jue didn't have to sleep anymore. Since he practiced the Huo Qi Gong Method after awakening, Chu Lin's physical condition has become stronger and stronger. Although he still looks like a weak scholar, he is now better than an athlete among ordinary people, and the wonder of the exercises can be seen in just one week's effort. It's also strange to say, since Chu Lin cultivated, he had never heard the chewing sound of eating human flesh next door.
packed up everything and walked into the strange and familiar factory, because the renovation of the old factory had not yet been completed, Chu Lin was temporarily "borrowed" by Su Tingting to the general management department to do chores.
At this time, Chu Lin's walking speed still did not change, neither slow nor fast, but there was already a lot of confidence in his steps. Yes, although he still has no longevity, he is no longer the Chu Lin he used to be.
came to the director's office to report, and the enthusiastic Su Tingting came to shake hands with Chu Lin in person. But Chu Lin just politely shook the slender and tender hand, and immediately left the delicate gentleness.
"Little handsome guy, sit down, there is no other work, staying in this old factory is really a little stuffy, your main job today is to chat with me" Su Tingting said with a smile.
"Well, Sister Tingting, since you have come to a new job, you should arrange a job for me that I can," Chu Lin responded embarrassedly.
"For the time being, there is really nothing you need to do, speaking of which, the two of us can be regarded as sharing weal and woe, people always have to be true to their word, I told you before, how about I invite you to dinner tonight?" Su Tingting leaned in front of Chu Lin and pursed her lips and smiled.
A fragrance came to his face, and Chu Lin smiled: "Since Sister Tingting has a heart, then the little brother is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." For the request that the leader has already put forward twice, Chu Lin naturally will not refuse, besides, having dinner with a beauty is also a thing to look forward to.
"Then it's decided, wait for me after work tonight," Su Tingting said with raised eyebrows.
Next, in the casual chat, Chu Lin also had a general understanding of Su Tingting's situation. 27 years old this year, rich second generation, didn't want to do things in the family business before coming to this old factory, unmarried, because of his high eyes, he has never talked about his boyfriend and has been so single. When a woman's condition is impeccable, there will be fewer and fewer men who can control her. This created a group of white rich and beautiful people called "single aristocrats".
A day's work was spent in such "chores", and when it was time to get off work in the evening, Su Tingting told Chu Lin to wait for her for a while, and she went to calculate the materials for this month.
Chu Lin agreed, and then sat honestly in the office and waited. Walking to the window, it was half past five in the afternoon, but it was already dark in the north. Outside, it was pouring light snow, and against the dim street lamps in the factory, everything seemed so peaceful. It has been more than 4 years since I came to this city, and what I have gained is not only growth, but now I have more heavy responsibilities on my shoulders. He will protect the creatures of this world from the ravages of that fate. What should be left needs to be left, and what should not be left behind must not be left behind.
Thinking of this, because Chu Lin's eyesight power had already been too ordinary because he had cultivated the Fire Spirit Pupil. He suddenly found that in the darkness beyond the reach of the lights, he suddenly ran over to a child who seemed to be 12~13 years old, holding a football in his hand.
"Huh, in this old factory in the suburbs, it's still after work time, how can there be children running by? It's winter, and you're still playing football?"
The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, Chu Lin quickly ran downstairs to the dim place of the light in the distance. The speed is so fast that ordinary athletes can't achieve it. In the factory area running under the street lamp, the cold wind is still raging, but for Chu Lin now, this cold is completely negligible.
Running in that direction, Chu Lin found that it was an old warehouse, which had not been used for a long time, and often piled up some waste scraps and factory garbage that had no use value. As far as the eye can see, the periphery of the warehouse has been piled up into a hill, and the door of the warehouse is open, and with Chu Lin's current eyesight, he can only see that there are all kinds of waste products piled up inside, mostly waste paper shells and old wooden shelves. "It's gone around the outside. Will it be hidden behind the scrap in this warehouse. Thinking of this, Chu Lin walked towards the entrance of the warehouse step by step.
