The Return of the King Volume 110 The Poorest President
Ping An and Laura walked into the village, and the excitement in the village and the desolation at the entrance of the village formed a sharp contrast. In the lively town, a group of people are singing and dancing, and the streets are crowded with people selling goods of all colors. There are those who sell snacks, there are those who sell clothing, there are those who sell accessories, everything is interesting. Ping An and Laura were also infected by the atmosphere. Ping An bought a local flower headdress in the shape of a very distinctive "rice" for Laura, and put it on Laura's head with her own hands, and as a gift in return, Laura bought a red bamboo bracelet for Ping An.
But play is play, and both of them know what this trip is here for. Near noon, Ping An and Laura find a small restaurant on the corner and prepare to eat something and see if they can get something out of someone's mouth.
The two of them sat down at a windowed table near the street and ordered some of the famous local snacks. From the waiter's mouth, the two knew that today was the annual "Hella Festival" in the local area. The two sat there waiting for the food to be served, looking around for a target to find out what they wanted to know. At this moment, a very old and shabby yellow Beetle car stopped at the door of the restaurant, and an old man wearing a black plaid suit and a white beard stepped out of the car, and he was led by a black and white Dalmatian dog with only three legs. Because this old man's dress was so eye-catching, it attracted the attention of many people at once, and even Ping An and Laura couldn't help but stare at him without blinking.
The old man walked into the restaurant, looked around, walked to a table across from Ping An and Laura, nodded politely to Ping An and Laura, and sat down.
"A big beer!" The old man said to the waiter, and then ordered a few more snacks.
After a while, the old man's food and wine were ready, and the old man carried the puppy to the table and said to it, "Manu, be hungry, let's eat, let's eat, we have to hurry after eating!" The puppy barked twice as if he understood, and then lowered his head and began to eat. The old man only drank and didn't eat anything, and when he saw the puppy eating happily, he also showed a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.
When Ping An saw such a loving scene, he forgot to eat and inquire about the news, and stared at the old man with interest. At this moment, the waiter came over and said to the old man, "I'm sorry sir, pets are not allowed in our restaurant. ”
"Oh, and this rule, I've been to so many restaurants, and I didn't say that you can't bring dogs to eat?" The old man was obviously dissatisfied with the waiter's request, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I won't eat." ”
"Well, sir, please settle the bill, it's 70 spei!" said the waiter, holding the bill.
"Got it!" the old man said and reached into the inner pocket of his clothes to take out the money, and after a long time, he didn't take it out, and he took it out again from top to bottom, but he still didn't take it out.
Seeing the old man like this, the waiter pursed his lips, with a look of contempt, and his tone became rude: "Hey, old man, you don't want to eat white food, do you?
"This, this. The old man suddenly became embarrassed, and he was a little embarrassed in the face of the waiter.
At this moment, Ping'an walked over, and he saw the scene just now, and he was very disgusted by the waiter's practice of disliking the poor and loving the rich, and watching people put down dishes. If only before, the timid and cowardly peace would not have cared about such idle things. However, today's Ping An has experienced many battles of life and death, and his own experience and strength have also given him more courage and a sense of justice.
"I'll pay for this old man's food. Ping An walked up to the waiter and said.
As soon as he heard that someone was paying the old man, the waiter looked back and saw that it was a young man, about sixteen or seventeen, of medium to upper stature, with black curly hair, and his appearance was not good, but there was an indescribable heroic air all over his body.
"What do you say, his food?" asked the waiter.
"I'll pay for it. Ping An replied in the affirmative.
"All right, sir. The waiter nodded politely to Ping'an, and glanced back at the old man: "You're lucky!" After speaking, he walked back to the bar and whispered to the person next to him: "Keep an eye on that kid for me!"
"Thank you, young man!" said the old man politely to Ping'an.
"It's just a meal, it's nothing. Ping An smiled. "Why don't you go together?"
"It's not good. The old man was embarrassed.
"It's nothing, just come over for dinner and have a chat. Laura also invited the old man to a table, in fact, she wanted to see if she could ask something from the old man.
"Young man, look at your dress, you're not from here, are you?" The old man asked, and as he spoke, he put a plate of vegetables at his feet and let his dog eat under the table.
"Yes, we came here from far away. "Peace is an honest man who never lies.
"What are you doing here?" the old man took a sip of his wine.
"Find someone. Before Laura could speak, Ping An blurted out the purpose, and Laura pulled the corner of Ping An's clothes from under the table, meaning to tell Ping An not to say everything, so as not to be suspected.
"Oh, someone who has come so far to find someone here, that person must be very important to you, right?" asked the old man again.
"Yes!" replied Ping An. Laura patted her head on the side, looking helpless.
"So our purpose is the same!" said the old man.
"Oh, aren't you from here either?" asked Ping'an in surprise when he heard the old man say this.
"Of course I'm from here, but I haven't been back for a long time, I've traveled all over the country, and it's better to return to my roots. The old man's eyes looked out the window, and he could clearly hear that there was something in the words, and there was something else hidden.
"Are you looking for someone too?" asked Laura.
"Actually, I came back to my relatives, my daughter is in Fenghuang Village, she came here a few years ago, she stayed, and sent me a message to tell me that she settled here. Now that I'm retired, I've decided to come here to reunite with her and live with her. The old man said with a smile.
"I've been to this village before, and I know better than you about the situation in this village, if you don't dislike it, come with me, and I'll take you into the village to find someone." After the old man finished speaking, he drank all the beer in his hand, put the glass on the table, and shouted, "Good wine!"
After the meal, Ping An settled the bill, and at the invitation of the old man, he came to the old man's old Beetle car.
"This car should be considered an antique, right?" Ping An looked at the old broken car, and thought in his heart that someone was still driving such an old and obsolete model in the 30th century.
"Get in the car! I'll take you into the village to find someone. The old man greeted Ping An and Laura warmly.
Seeing that Ping An and Laura were hesitant, the old man laughed: "Don't worry, although this car is a bit old, it is quite good to drive." As he spoke, he slapped the wagon on the wheels of the car, trying to prove that the car was fine, but the front sign of the car was knocked down with a bang. Ping An and Laura looked at each other, dumbfounded.
"Hahaha, nothing, nothing!" the old man laughed as he put the fallen sign on. Ping An and Laura almost forgot how the two of them were persuaded by the old man to get into the car, and sat in a daze. The old man started the engine, and a puff of black smoke came out from the back of the car, and it drove ahead with a "beep" sound.
"Old man, what did you do before?" Ping'an sat in the bumpy car and asked the old man, wondering what the hell was the origin of this strange old man.
"I'm hahahaha, I used to be the president of this country!" the old man laughed heartily as he drove.
"President, no, this president is too poor!" Ping An shouted in his heart, saying that he didn't believe his words.
"Who the hell is this old man?" Laura's heart put a question mark on him, and she couldn't help but be wary.
。。。。。。
The car drove up, bumped, and finally stopped. As soon as the old man and Ping'an waited for the car to stop, they both ran out of the car and vomited in unison, saying in unison: "It's too bumpy!"
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion not far ahead, and everyone looked up, and it turned out that there was a tall church not far ahead, and at the door of the church, there were many strong men dressed in non-mainstream clothes and with fierce faces, blocking the door of the church, holding weapons in their hands, shouting and shouting, looking like picking quarrels and provoking trouble. Many children poured out of the church, also armed with sticks and pickaxes, as if they were confronting these strong men.
"What's going on, what's going on up ahead?" Zhu Ping'an raised his head, put his hand on the pergola, and wanted to look ahead.
"Isn't that my daughter's church?" the old man recognized at once, hugged his dog, ran a few steps, and galloped over, followed by Ping An and Laura.
The three of them ran close and saw several strong men brandishing knives to hurt the children, and the children were forced to retreat step by step, all gathered together.
"Hmph, you villains, you're here to make trouble again, and when Teacher Light comes back, I won't spare you. One of the older children in the lead said, turned back to the other children and shouted: "Don't be afraid, Teacher Guang and the adults have gone to buy food, and they will be back soon, and until they come back, we must guard our home no matter what, and we must not let this group of villains destroy it!"
"Yes!" shouted the other children in unison.
"Haha, stinky little ghost, without the protection of that weirdo, killing you is as easy as stepping on ants, and, most importantly, we who kill you will definitely not be sanctioned by the government. A guy with Moxican's hair who looked like the leader of these villains yelled. After speaking, he danced the meteor hammer in his hand vigorously, and shouted in his mouth: "Die, stinky little ghost!"
"Stop!" the old man, who was with Ping An, shouted behind him to stop his evil deeds.
Mohican turned around and saw that it was an old man with a white beard, dressed in a plaid suit, his appearance was not good, and he was holding a three-legged dog in his hand. He glanced at the old man, felt very familiar, but couldn't remember who it was for a while, raised his hand and pointed at the old man and asked, "Where did the stinky old man come from, he dared to meddle with Lao Tzu's affairs!"
"I told you to stop!" the old man shouted at him, and there was no trace of fear in his eyes.
"Since you want to wade through this troubled water, I'll teach you a good lesson. Mo Xi said with a dry hair, and threw the meteor hammer in his hand at the old man, who stared at the meteor hammer with his eyes, righteous and awe-inspiring, and did not dodge at all.
A crisp sound of "popping" was heard in the ear chakra, which frightened the children and quickly closed their eyes. Everyone thought that the old man was finished, but who knew that when they opened their eyes, they saw that the meteor hammer held in the head of Mohican was smashed in an instant, and for some reason, it was crushed, leaving a bare iron handle in the hands of the head of Mohican.
Before the Moxican could figure out what was going on, a figure flew at him, kicked him out for several meters, and slammed him to the ground like, giving him a, and his eyes were full of stars.
"Who is it? What bastard?" said Mohican, flicking his head and barely getting up from the ground.
"It's me!" a voice like a silver bell came from beside him.
When Moxican looked closely, it turned out to be a young woman in a black close-fitting leather coat, tall and beautiful, it was none other than the black widow - Laura Mister.
"Why are you bullying these kids?" Laura's memory is full of hatred for bullying the weak.
"Another nosy idiot!" Moxie said, looking at Laura.
"They are gangsters hired by the government to destroy our churches. The kid in the lead told Laura.
"What?" the old man was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward, pointed to Moxican's head and asked, "Is it true?"
"So what?" Moxigan has the government to support him, so he is naturally very arrogant: "The government has taken a fancy to the diamond veins under this church, and wants to requisition land and demolish this church, no matter what price is offered, they are not unified, and they dare to resist, they really don't know whether they live or die, don't they know that their arms can't twist their thighs?"
"I see, the family of soldiers and bandits, the collusion of officials and businessmen, for the sake of diamonds, for the sake of resources, did not hesitate to hurt a group of poor orphans left behind in the war, it seems that what my daughter said to me is true!" The old man lowered his head sadly after listening to Moxican's words, "It's all my fault, this country has today's structure, and my sins are unforgivable!"
When Ping An heard the old man's words, he was very puzzled, and he really didn't understand why the old man said this.
"Know who my back stage is, if you dare to cause trouble, don't blame Lao Tzu for making a move, my nickname for the knife-headed ghost is not called in vain!" Mo Xigan shouted, so crazy that he waved his hand at his subordinates: "Give it to me, who dares to stop it, don't show mercy to my subordinates!"
"Knife-headed ghosts?" Ping'an walked up to Moxigan, looked at him and said, "So, have you ever seen a real ghost?"
"Stinky boy, such a stinky fart, who are you?" Seeing Ping'an stopping in front of him, the knife-headed ghost was stunned for a moment, and then asked disdainfully.
"Chasing Ghosts!" Ping'an said, sending out a wave of white qi from all over his body, surging around, blowing the knife-headed ghost and his men all around.
At this moment, Zhu Ping'an suddenly felt a powerful energy rushing towards him behind him, and hurriedly turned around, only to see a man with blond hair who had appeared in the air behind him at some point, falling from the air, and kicking at Zhu Ping'an.
Ping An was startled, hurriedly made a move, and blocked it with his arm, "bang", the blonde man's feet were pressing on Ping An's arm, and the powerful impact force actually pressed Ping An's feet into the ground for more than ten centimeters, and at the same time, there was a violent burning sensation on Ping An's arm.
"Suzaku-sama!" Laura, who saw this scene on the side, recognized at a glance that the person who came was none other than Suzaku - Xuanguang, one of the four spirit generals who had been lost for a long time.
Hearing Laura's shout, Suzaku Xuanguang hurriedly jumped back, retreated to make space, and looked back to see Laura, his blue eyes were wide open, and his face was full of surprise: "Are you, Laura?"
At this moment, the sound of cars running from behind them came, and everyone looked back, only to see a large group of soldiers of the World Government fully armed and had already driven to the front, and a person who seemed to be their commander walked in front, looking at these people in front of him, he said as he walked: " You fellows dare to gather and fight here, it is a serious violation of the laws and regulations of the United Government of Germany and the world, as the supreme magistrate of the locality, I, Felton, on behalf of the government, formally approve the arrest of you, if you dare to resist, you are enemies of the world government, and you are sinners of treason!" As soon as he came up, he put a big hat on these people, and it was obvious that today's incident was planned by him and was completely premeditated.
"What are you talking about, Felton, how can you jump to conclusions so easily before the matter has been fully investigated, or are you prepared?" the old man stepped out of the crowd and stood in front of Felton.
Felton was surprised when he saw the old man in front of him, but he quickly calmed down, he looked at the old man, and said with a sneer: "I thought it was who, it turned out to be the sinner of your country, former President Jose!"
