Chapter 20: Choices and Pitfalls

Old man Mu is over seventy years old, but his blue eyes are full of light that can see the soul of a person, a high nose bridge, and broad lips, although he is now full of silver hair and wrinkles on his face, but these set off the temperament of Old Man Mu's upper class. Probably living the life of a high-ranking person in China all the year round, Old Man Mu took out a set of tea sets from the bookshelf and put them on the table, and took out a set of small tandoor and mineral water to boil the water by himself. Old man Mu's tea art seems to be infected all year round, and every step is very exquisite.

"Come and try the tea I made, this is the best Huangshan Maofeng sent by a friend before. Old man Mu made a cup of tea for Situ Shize, pushed it in front of him, and then said to himself: "With the Maofeng of Huangshan Mountain, its appearance is delicate and slightly curly, the buds are fat and strong, even, and there are sharp hao, the shape is a bit like a bird's tongue, and it is also golden yellow. Old man Mu finished speaking as if showing off, took a sip of tea, and then said: "Looking at the tea again, the water is clear, apricot yellow, bright, mellow and sweet." Just like life, to use your old Chinese saying, bitterness comes to an end. ”

"Mr. Mu knows a lot about Chinese culture?" Situ Shize took a sip of the Huangshan Maofeng in the cup and said lightly.

"I don't know about it, I have lived in China for more than 30 years, and when I was young, I was very yearning for Chinese civilization and wanted to come to China one day. Later, I got my wish and went to Shanghai, and then I was assigned to Guangling to preside over the Catholic Church here. Time flies!" Old Man Mu sighed.

"Isn't Mr. Mu homesick?"

As a servant of God, guiding the lost Lamb is more important than life. Old man Mu replied speciously.

"I want to get you in exchange for a car and enough gas, as well as some clothing and food. The old gentleman made a price, right?" Situ Shize didn't want to talk to the old man in front of him, it was okay at first, but gradually he found out that Old Man Mu was using spiritual law abilities against him, if it weren't for the fact that the law creator had been helping Situ Shize to abide by his heart, it is estimated that Situ Shize would have fallen a long time ago.

"Don't you want to enter the arms of the Father, O lost lamb?" said Old Man Mu in a deep voice with a frown.

"Cut! Your so-called father is in my brain to help me!" Situ Shize thought, but when he thought about it, he didn't dare to say it, he was afraid that once he said that, the people in the whole gathering area would sieve him and chop him into mashed meat. "Thank you, Mr. Mu, for your concern, but I have a reason to leave, please allow me to exchange for the necessary supplies in your team. ”

It seems that he found that his ability has little effect on Situ Shize, but he is unwilling to let go of the combat power in front of him so much, and the information he got from Yorkshire shows that this person in front of him is even more powerful than Yorkshire. "I don't find anything you can trade with us for supplies, your guns are good, but we don't need them. Old man Mu took a sip of tea, and then said: "There are only two ways to get supplies from me, the first way is to join the search team, it is very dangerous, but the reward is very high, and a mission is enough for a family of three to eat for two days." The second way is to go to church, listen to the teachings of God the Father, and then each person can receive two food rations, of course, the rations received can only guarantee that they will not starve, after all, there are too many people, and God the Father loves every lamb who believes in Him. After speaking, Old Man Mu stopped talking, and he did not urge Situ Shize to make a choice, but waited quietly.

After listening to Old Man Mu's method, how could Situ Shize not know that the other party was playing a trick on him, the first method was very profitable, but it was very slow for him, and it was easy to be killed outside by the search team. But the second method is even more unworkable, he does not dare to guarantee that one day the old man will not be able to protect himself, and the second method is further away from his goal.

"I choose the first method, but I want to know how many missions I have to go out to get the supplies I need?" Situ Shize frowned and asked, there was no way, there were pits on the left and right, and he could only jump to the shallowest one. He asked on the way back before, Guangling has been divided into several areas by several large teams, cross-border search or small teams and individuals who want to search for materials in a certain area must be approved by the large team, and most of the proceeds must be tributed, otherwise once found, they will be surrounded and suppressed by the large team, which is already an unwritten rule in Guangling.

"There are a lot of vehicles, but there is not enough gasoline, plus other materials, just follow ten missions, and I will deduct some of the income from each mission, leaving you alone for two days, okay?" Now the old man Mu seems to have taken off the disguise of a priest and become a businessman.

"Ten times, ten days? Yes, then I will thank Mr. Mu for the supplies first. After Situ Shize finished speaking, he got up and left, he was fed up with the attacks that were eroding his spiritual laws all the time, if there was no old man protecting him, it was estimated that now the other party would let him kneel and lick him, and he would do it like a dog.

After Situ Shize walked out of the door, Old Man Mu sat on a chair and quietly thought about why his spiritual attack didn't work against Situ Shize, even the leaders of several other survivor teams in Guangling would be hit unknowingly, why couldn't he. Old Man Mu slowly stood up and moved a few books on the bookshelf, and then the bookshelf opened like a revolving door.

Inside is a secret room, although it is a small secret room, but the walls and floor are inlaid with gold bars, and there are various gems and diamonds on it, and there is a bed made of gold bricks in the secret room. At this time, there was a blonde girl about twenty years old on the bed leaning on the bedside reading a book, and the girl saw the old man Mu walking into the room, got up and asked, "Are you done talking?"

"Master, when the conversation is over, the man is strange and not affected by me. When Old Man Mu faced the girl, he lost the posture of the previous superior, and bent down and said respectfully.

"Well, I can't feel Ma Yue's presence, she should be dead, I just don't know if her mission has been completed?

"It should be soon, it's not safe to go this way, but they are all elite assassins, and it should be no problem to spy on some information. Old man Mu said respectfully.

"Keep trying to control that newcomer, I think he's interesting, and if your attacks don't work for him in a week's time then replace me. But when the time comes," the girl's words stopped before she finished speaking, but the meaning of the words couldn't be understood by Old Man Mu. Looking at the girl who continued to read, Old Man Mu wiped the sweat from his forehead and respectfully exited the secret room.

As the door of the secret room closed, the girl put down the book in her hand and came to a table in the corner, on which were placed a crystal ball and a set of tarot cards, and the girl said to herself: "Why can't I see through you?
