Chapter 186: The Rich in the New Era
"I didn't expect Lao Du to live in such a kennel-like place, what a Buddhist youth. Shu Hongsleeve opened the door, and a strange smell of air that had not been circulating for a long time hit her nose, making her sneeze.
After entering the house, she looked left and right, and suddenly saw Zhang Lingcui's clothes. immediately made a fuss, "Wow, this guy Lao Du is serious on the surface, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, it's actually a loli control." When you come back later, be sure to interrogate him. ”
Looking at the four treasures of the study room on the desk and the notebook written by Du Lengqiu, Shu Hongsleeve was a little surprised. In calligraphy, Shu Hongsleeve is a shallow taste, and he did not write any doorway. But she still has basic connoisseurship. In her opinion, Du Lengqiu's face and body have already obtained three of them, and she has at least eight years of hard work.
She sighed, "Lao Du, this guy looks ordinary, I didn't expect him to be quite inward-looking." ”
The warehouse that Du Lengqiu rented from Chai Lao Second-hand is not small, but the bedroom is really not big. Shu Hongsleeve looked at it for a while and felt bored. When he came to the front of the warehouse, he immediately saw the signboard of the Allure Martial Arts Pavilion, and she was surprised again, and quickly thought of the stalk that life forced her.
At this moment, three people came over with a big grin. The sound of their footsteps woke Shu Hongsleeves. When she turned around, she realized that the ingredients on the other side were very complex.
The middle one is a fat aunt with explosive combat effectiveness, commonly known as the god of Pangu. On the left is a thin middle-aged man, and on the right is a petite young girl with a few freckles on her face. Shu Hongsleeve glanced at it and was no longer interested.
"Sir, is the martial arts hall still open here?"
Shu Hongsleeves smiled, remembering that Du Lengqiu was by no means a person who opened a martial arts gym and just had bad money, so he smiled and said: "Well, I haven't been doing much business recently, maybe the boss has left Haicheng, right?"
The fat aunt's face was full of disappointment, "It turns out that Chief Nong doesn't know either." Today's world is too ridiculous, and it is still necessary to learn some kung fu to be serious. ”
The thin man pursed his lips, glanced at Shu Hong's military uniform, but couldn't help but say nothing. In his heart, isn't all bullshit kung fu all deceitful?
The girl looked at Shu Hong's upright posture and temperament, and the heroic military green uniform, and was very envious. "Sister, you're so good-looking. It's almost like the Valkyrie in the movie. ”
Shu Hongsleeve smiled and forgave the other party's ignorance. Her goal is to transcend life and death, and to live forever, but not comparable to a mere Valkyrie.
The three of them found nothing and returned in defeat. Not long after walking, a streamer flew in the air, but it was Du Lengqiu who fell. When he saw Shu Hongsleeve, he was very surprised.
"Sleeve, it seems that it took a lot of effort for you to find this place. ”
"You forgot to register your address in the Seventh Column. Speaking of which, Second Lieutenant Du, I'm your commander, and you should salute me. Shu Hongsleeve laughed.
Du Lengqiu patted his head and said distressedly: "Things have been very annoying recently, I forgot about this stubble." "For being a soldier, Du Lengqiu doesn't have much interest.
"Haha, let's go. Go to my place and sit down, and meet your sister-in-law by the way. ”
Du Lengqiu was stunned and said, "Where did my sister-in-law come from?"
Shu Hongsleeve cocked his thumb, nodded himself, and said confidently: "I am your sister, you naturally have a sister-in-law." ”
Du Lengqiu suddenly collapsed.
The banks of the Huangpu River have always been the most prosperous area of Haicheng. There is a group of villas here, known as the first product in the south of the Yangtze River. If nothing else, the price alone is the best in Jiangnan.
Nowadays, the world is changing, but there are more people living in the villa. The security guards patrolling the interior were even issued with guns, which looked like they were presentable.
When he arrived at No. 7 in the first row closest to the riverside, Shu Hongsleeve opened the door first. The lawn is still green, and it does not turn yellow because of the arrival of autumn.
In the center of the lawn is a plaster sculpture, somewhat in the style of ancient Greece. The most obvious is the straight Greek nose. Around the sculpture, there are several sprinklers that can be used to water the lawn and keep the grass bright. The appearance of the villa is a typical Western-style building, with columns and spires, which is very in line with the image of Haicheng.
All of this can be described in two words - it's so cheesy.
Du Lengqiu glanced at it twice, then smiled indifferently: "I didn't expect you to be a rich woman with your sleeves." Is it too late for me to hug my thighs?"
Shu Hongsleeve happened to stand on the snow-white steps, turned around and smiled, very feminine. "I want to hug my sister's thigh, Lao Du, your thoughts are not pure. ”
"Cut, I don't know who the Lich King is!" Du Lengqiu scolded with a smile and strode forward.
The decoration of this villa is a minimalist Nordic style, which is a little too cold for women. On the pale gray ramp, a woman was standing at this time, looking at the two of them.
Shu Hongsleeves showed a happy expression, strode forward, hugged her waist, and said with a big grin: "My eldest wife, Yu Qingqing." ”
Yu Qingqing is a very bookish and quiet woman, wearing a retro-style striped plaid skirt, smiling calmly, looking elegant and ladylike.
When Du Lengqiu came, she didn't speak, pushed away Shu Hongsleeve's hand, bowed down and smiled slightly, and walked to the kitchen.
Shu Hongsleeve looked at her back lovingly, and whispered: "Lao Du, don't blame her for being rude, Qingqing is a mute." ”
"Oh!"
After a while, Yu Qingqing took out a full set of tea sets, boiled water, cooked tea, and showed elegance in his gestures.
Du Lengqiu does not have half a bone on his body, and he has always been insensitive to drinking tea. However, for the sake of Shu Hongsleeve's face, he still pretended to be a gentleman.
Yu Qingqing left after cooking tea.
"Sleeves, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, so it must be something to invite me to come so kindly. Du Lengqiu smiled on his face, but he was clear in his heart.
Shu Hongsleeve sighed and said, "I can't hide it from you, Lao Du." I have something to ask you to help me with. She was silent for a while, as if embarrassed, "I took advantage of you last time and haven't returned this favor, and now I really can't open my mouth, but I'm desperate, so I have to be cheeky." ”
"We are friends who live and die together, no matter what, you just have to speak. ”
"I want more credit. The colonel can't guarantee my current life, this time to solve the sea city fog beast, with this little thing as a foundation, the credit will be half of mine, enough for me to be promoted to colonel. But the colonel is still not enough, and I need to be promoted to major general with the credit of pouring the sky. ”
As she spoke, she took out a bright silver ring and threw it on the ground, and with a clanging sound, the fog beast came out of the ring, chirping, glancing at Shu Hongsleeve, as if she had received some instructions, and ran straight upstairs.
Du Lengqiu had a puzzled expression on his face, "Sleeve, isn't what my generation is pursuing is to return the great power to oneself and be eternal immortal in heaven and earth?
Shu Hongsleeve's expression was gloomy, "People are not free in the world. Although I have turned against my family on the surface, I have broken ties with each other. For example, this villa can I not afford to buy it myself. Therefore, it is inevitable to make enough contributions to the family to redeem my freedom, and the major general has enough weight. ”
Du Lengqiu sighed and said, "This matter is simple, you can make a plan with your sleeves." The two of us joined forces, and there were few opponents who couldn't take it. ”
She perked up and said with a smile: "I already have a goal." Huguang has always been the granary of the country, but now there is a monster hidden in Dongting Lake, and the millions of acres of fertile land next to it have been hurt by it, let's go and kill it. ”
"It's a small matter, you can arrange the sleeves, just notify me. Du Lengqiu stood up and was about to leave, he came here to clean up the residence in Qingpu District, although it was a trivial matter, it was not good to fake his hands to others.
Shu Hongsleeve sent him to the door and said cautiously: "Lao Du." I have an immature suggestion for you to think about for yourself. ”
"Oh"
"When I advanced to the Divine Power Secret Realm, I was in the outer realm, and after returning to the earth, I felt a little estranged from heaven and earth, and I felt a little sluggish when I used my mana. According to my guess, it is best to choose the Earth when you want to advance, after all, this is where we are rooted. ”
Du Lengqiu was stunned, Shu Hongsleeve would definitely not lie about this kind of big thing. But on the earth, advanced supernatural powers, I'm afraid it's not so easy. After a moment's thought, he nodded slowly, "Let me think about it." ”
Rejecting Shu Hongsleeve's car, he walked alone. The Huangpu River is turbid, but the cold breeze blows from the river, reminding people that the footsteps of golden autumn are coming to an end, and the midwinter is coming.
Without the fog, Haicheng is once again prosperous. The streets and alleys are very lively, but observing people's helpless expressions in their coldness and hardness, we can still find the impact of the sudden change in the world on people.
Haicheng has a lot of import and export business, but due to the gradual increase of mutant beasts on the ocean, the shipping industry has been devastated. A large number of import and export companies have closed their doors. And that's just the tip of the iceberg of social change.
Walking in the commercial area, you can find that one-third of the shops on both sides of the street are closed, and the banners of "Wang Shop Sublease" and "Shop for Rent" can be seen every three or five times. Even if there are no closed shops, business is deserted.
Du Lengqiu put his hand into the pocket of his windbreaker and walked through the street expressionlessly.
After returning to his residence in Qingpu District, he looked at the pots and pans, bed sheets, quilt covers and other daily necessities he had purchased, and destroyed the corpses in one go, leaving only the four treasures of the study.
He spread out the rice paper, tightened his grip on the brush, and immediately regained his composure. He wrote a dragon and snake, and a chivalrous line was soon freshly baked. When he finished, he took two steps back, looked at the handwriting and shook his head.
He went downstairs and removed the signboard of the Allure Martial Arts Gym, thought about it, and suddenly thought of an idea, so he left with a smile. Soon after, he appeared on the edge of Haicheng, and beyond that was the province of Sioux.
It has been said that living in a city for a long time will inevitably be dull to the seasons. This is the case with Du Lengqiu, when he leaves the concrete forest, the first thing he sees is the lush and towering forest. The vegetation of the south of the Yangtze River is not affected by the seasons in the slightest, stretching its branches and leaves wantonly, robbing it of the limited sunlight.
Du Lengqiu took off his shoes and put his feet in the wet soil. The wet and cool touch of the grass made him sigh in surprise. Measuring the earth with his feet, this trick, he learned from a certain pervert. To be honest, this is very unlucky, that guy is a ruthless person who gave away his wife.
With a long sigh, Du Lengqiu walked towards the southwest.
Eight hundred miles of Dongting Lake, there are countless moving legends, Du Lengqiu has been longing for a long time, and now it is time to visit. As for the monster, he didn't pay any attention to it. In his home world, Du Lengqiu is not the slightest fear.
