Chapter 43: Maple Leaf
At noon, busy people who remember what time it is today, and they don't even bother to get lunch done, and the existence of time has long been thrown to the back of their heads. Cars on the road are constantly flowing back and forth, coming and going, each going to its own place. From early morning to early morning, there are always vehicles coming, and the lights of the city start at night and remain until midnight. Having lived in this city for many years, who would think of another city at night.
Time is divided into four, eating, sleeping, working, and bathing. Busy people always like to look at their watches, carry their handbags, and wait for every shuttle that arrives. There is no time for entertainment, so there is no time to enjoy the cityscape.
A small story of a city, a story of a painting. Busy people always get up earlier than ordinary people, they are the first to see the sunrise in the city in the morning, and before the sun comes out, they get up to witness the beauty of the city.
"I told you, wait for my password to come out, and then you give her the flowers. Why don't you follow my method? Why did you see her like she was drunk, do you know how many people I had to get that blue enchantress? I was sent out by you guy all at once, that's my girl! Not yours! β
"How do I know that the class flower in the next class is so beautiful, and I can't control my physical impulse...... Don't blame me for that. β
"Didn't we say it beforehand? It doesn't matter if it's beautiful or not, it's all mine! You are my wingman, not my fighter! You should learn from Kong Rong and give her to me! β
"But Kong Rong let me be a pear, not a girl. Besides, I'm my brother, and you should give your sister to your brother as a younger brother! You are still young, you should focus on your studies, and your brother is old, so you can afford this kind of thing. β
"I really want to slap you in the face!"
"Ahh
The city repeats the same performance every day, and everyone is like an actor, with their own goals and their own lines. When a day passes, the curtain will come to an end, and at the beginning of the day, the curtain will be staged.
"Ten inches, it's so ordinary here, compared to the fourth plane, it's so much better here. Ordinary and ordinary, everyone does their own thing. Small cities have the benefits of small cities, and naturally there is a reason for them. β
Two young men sat in the car, dressed in ordinary casual clothes, shirts and short sleeves. They looked familiar. Taking off their shiny suits, it was difficult to tell for a while, the two of them were the young people who managed to escape in the fourth plane last time.
"Yes, it's so good to live here, every day is to eat and drink, sleep and wake up, work and study." The young man in the driver's seat laughed, he looked much younger than the young man next to him.
"By the way, Shen Qing? Is the Son of Prophecy that Uncle Lee said in this place? Ten Inch turned his head to look at Shen Qing beside him with a calm face, he looked out the window, biting his thumb in his mouth.
"It should be here, Chu Yunan in the first time and space, the son of the director of the Divine Power Bureau, and the grandson of the weapon master. It should be the child of prophecy mentioned in the book of prophecy. Shen Qing replied softly, he liked to bite his fingers to speak.
"You say...... Why should we protect an ordinary teenager? Why does the 16th Bureau of the Central Committee value him? It was also arranged for the Akali Group to stay in the first time and space. What exactly is their purpose? Ten Inch was full of doubts, and it was obvious that he cared very much about these things.
"Tsk...... I don't know their reason, and the above refuses to say. In short, the child of prophecy has something to do with the coordinates, we pave the way ahead, and let these young and promising children go on. Shen Qing still looked out the window, biting his fingernails.
"By the way, did you find the address of the Daybreak Organization? We've got to get this thing over to them as soon as possible. Shen Qing knocked on the special black box placed on his lap.
"Found it...... In the Yecheng district, the South Nut Bell Tower ...... "Ten Inches took out a crumpled little note from his coat pocket, and the handwriting on it was very sloppy.
"Okay...... It seems that there is no way to pass today, so let's find a place to rest and settle down. I'll leave early tomorrow morning. Shen Qing said.
"Okay, let's eat something first, what are you eating?" Ten inches loosen the safety belt on the body.
"Whatever, as long as you can eat enough." Shen Qing replied to him in a word.
Suddenly, at this time, the mobile phone rang, breaking the conversation between the two. Shen Qing took out his mobile phone from his pocket in a hurry and deliberately glanced at the caller ID on his phone, which read: "Ruthless and unrighteous team leader".
"Hey, team leader? What's up? Shen Qing spoke with a lazy look, with a strong northern Shaanxi accent.
"How? Did you get to the first plane? You didn't wake up? You must remember to keep the lattice! Don't damage me, you know if you don't?! The voice on the other side was restless, and there was still a bit of hoarseness in his tone. Despite this, Shen Qing still pricked up his ears impatiently to listen to him.
"It's here, it's all right." Shen Qing tugged at his vocal cords, "Team leader, if you're fine..."
"And! Do you know that the son of prophecy is the son of the director of the Divine Power Bureau, named Chu Yunan, do you know? Are you listening? Shen Qing couldn't stand the other party's chatter anymore, "If something goes wrong, you can't afford it, I'll tell you." β
"I know, I know, I heard, Xu Yu has already told me." Shen Qing sighed, and his sleepy appearance was obviously perfunctory.
"What! Xu Yu told you? The other party's mood fluctuated, and Shen Qing had no patience to continue to talk about love with the team leader, even ten inches.
"Do you think I'm the team leader? Wait until you come back and I'll clean you up......"
"Hey, hey, team leader, I'm going to hang up, the people from the 16th Central Bureau are here, I'm hanging up first, and the ten inches have been hung up. I'm sorry, team leader, I'll talk next time I have time. Shen Qing dragged the phone far away, and then hung up the phone without hesitation, and all the nagging sounds disappeared in an instant. There is a troublesome team leader, and he still accepts the influence of his temper every day, and sooner or later he will go crazy.
"Go buy something to eat and come back, I'm dying of hunger." Shen Qing looked at ten inches.
"Okay, I'll be right back." Ten inches dropped a sentence, opened the car door, pulled his coat and ran away.
Shen Qing leaned on the passenger seat, his legs in front of him, his hands on the back of his head, and his head resting on the pillow tied to the seat. The car was leaning against a street, and the crowd did not pay attention to them. He chewed gum in his mouth, and every now and then blew bubbles, then exploded. He wondered, what kind of person was the so-called child of prophecy? What does he have to do with coordinates? He blows the bubbles, then pops, and chews again.
The lattice he had in hand now was the best-preserved, most complete and perfect energy crystal in storage. As long as the core part of it is not broken, it is equivalent to the existence of almost endless energy.
South District, Abandoned Area.
The fat man and Xiao Wu walked in with a lot of things, and Black Flag sat on a small stool, holding his mobile phone to receive the red envelope sent by the instructor, and he was very excited and happy in his heart. Then he looked at the fat man and they came over, he licked his lips and prepared to enjoy some family fun, feeling that he could finally feast on it. Tu Lin sat aside, holding a red pen and didn't know what to cross out in the notebook.
"Come on, come on, eat!" The fat man put his things lightly on the table, and Xiao Wu also put the things in his hand on them. All three of them had smiles on their faces, but Tu Lin still had an iceberg face.
"Hurry up, hurry up, the instructor gave us a big red envelope, 100,000 yuan!" Black Flag took the mobile phone and turned around to show the fat man, the smile on his face still flying. This is as if the reward for returning from each mission is less than 100,000 yuan. As soon as he opened his mouth, the fat man and Xiao Wu immediately took out their mobile phones to look at the network and clicked into the red envelope, but the amount of the red envelope scared them a lot.
"Wow, it's really 100,000 yuan, and the instructor sent me an extra five yuan." Xiao Wu smiled and showed the phone to the fat man and the black flag.
"Wowhahahaha, mine is 200,000, hahahahahaha. Instructions are too good for me, Nesnais! The smile on the fat man's face was even brighter than a sunflower enjoying the sun.
Black Flag looked at them with a bewildered expression, his smile fading.
"Why are you all more than me? Yesterday, I was obviously the hardest-working, Xiao Wu, you stood aside all afternoon yesterday and didn't move, why are you five more than me? Watt? That's not fair, isn't it? Black Flag put his phone on the table, with a bitter gourd face on his face, he was indeed unwilling.
Xiao Wu held his mobile phone and shouted in front of the black flag, "Today I have five more yuan than you~ Tomorrow I will have ten more yuan than you~"
"!" Black Flag glanced at Xiao Wu, "Eat, eat, eat." β
"Eat, eat, eat." The fat man sat down, then looked at Tu Lin, "Boss, it's time to eat." β
Tu Lin answered him, he put the notebook and pen on hand aside, and then his eyes fell on the food on the table. The table was so low, as were the stools, that an adult would squat down taller than they were sitting now.
As soon as the fat man opened the food in the bag, all four of them were stunned, a lot of brown sugar water, brown sugar tea. He flicked his eyebrows, and seriously doubted that he was missing something, so he picked up the receipt in the bag and looked at it, and sure enough, there was something missing, and he was really a conscientious businessman, and he had learned to be lazy!
"You... Have a period too? Tu Lin looked at the brown sugar package on the table, and her iceberg face gradually became cold as if she was close to Antarctica.
"Uh... Yes? Yes, yes, that's what we did. "The fat man was embarrassed to put the receipt back in the bag, and he continued to salvage the embarrassing situation," he ...... Actually, this is a brown sugar set meal specially prepared for you, I'm afraid that you won't be used to eating junk food outside, so I'll ......"
The fat man doesn't know what he's talking about, and the brown sugar package, if there is really such a package, then it won't be that boys all over the country will break up inexplicably, what is the reason? Because you don't love her at all, there is no brown sugar, only hot water, and magma from the Cleveland volcano, which is enough for her to drink for a lifetime.
"But... Then you don't need to prepare so much, right? Tu Lin pointed to the pile of brown sugar on the table, and she wondered, "Do they still buy one and get one free?" Two more copies of menstrual leave? β
"Which of you has a girlfriend?" Tu Lin glanced at the three of them, their hands trembling one by one, each of them acting like thieves, and put the phone back in his trouser pocket. The three of them looked at each other, and the three of them looked into each other's eyes.
"It's fat! The fat man has a girlfriend and is also a rich woman. Xiao Wu pointed at the fat man without hesitation, and the fat man's eyes stared at him with huge eyes, as if to refute...... It's not the same as it was said.
"Hmm!" The fat man held back a word, and his face was full of grievances.
"Well, let's get a little bit for each person. Two copies of the black flag, two copies of the little five, three copies of the fat man, and one copy of the I'll be OK. Tu Lin carved up the world and gave the brown sugar water on the table to the three of them, although the two of them were wronged, they were not as serious as the grievances on the fat man's face.
"Boss, you don't want to eat more. Brown sugar is good for the body, if you eat it once, your relatives won't use it next time. The fat man held the brown sugar water and trembled slightly.
"Every one of you must finish eating, and none of you can waste it." Tu Lin picked up the beef rice in Xiao Wu's hand, and didn't even let go of the spoon in his hand.
"Hey, hey, boss, this is what I just eat...... That's it, you have to grab ...... with me" Xiao Wu's expression instantly eclipsed, full of unhappiness.
Tu Lin brought a bowl of brown sugar water in front of Xiao Wu, just like her sister telling her younger brother, "Drink more brown sugar water, maybe your relatives will come uninvited next time." β
"This..."Xiao Wu looked at the brown sugar water in front of him, and it smelled a little sweet.
"Eat, eat, eat." Tu Lin took a bite of the beef rice, and didn't seem to mind Xiao Wu's saliva, after all, people from an organization have been together for so long. The three of them watched Tu Lin eat beef rice bowls, and swallowed saliva from time to time. Black Flag also glared at the fat man, who looked at them innocently.
"It's all your fault, are you okay to order so much brown sugar?" Black Flag wiped out the brown sugar water in his hand.
"It's all your fault." The same is true for Xiao Wu, the fat man's face suddenly turned into a flying face, and then Xiao Wu smiled bitterly, "It's okay, the brown sugar water is delicious." β
The fat man no longer has any scruples, he cares about him, and he just takes a sip of brown sugar water. Shangliangshan, respect the heroes, brown sugar water can also be drunk, and drinking more is good for health. The three of you are fighting for me, and you are addicted to drinking brown sugar water. There is no scum left in it, and it is all drunk.
"Boss, how much is the red envelope that the instructor sent you? Hundreds of thousands or millions? The fat man asked Tu Lin, Tu Lin lowered her head to eat, she held the pen and didn't know what to draw in the notebook.
"I don't know, I didn't see it." Tu Lin said lightly.
"I estimate at least seven figures." Xiao Wu hiccuped, like a roar from Nagasakapo.
"Will I give you the share codenamed 'Seven'?" Black Flag suckles with brown sugar water in both hands.
"There is no need to guess this kind of thing, there must be more than us." The fat man said.
"Hahahaha, I'm going to take this money and go to the red light district." Black Flag smiled, his cheap expression revealing that he had been a lot of wanderers in the red light district.
"Brother Black! Take me with you! Xiao Wu raised his hand to apply to join, and he picked up the brown sugar water on the table.
"And my fat man!" The fat man also picked up the brown sugar water, and the three of them fought hard together.
"It's done! For the sake of happiness! Shangliang Mountain, respect the heroes! Don't go shopping, not men! The three bowls collided together, and the three people smiled obscenely.
"Cut! Are you guys all that? Tu Lin glanced at them, "When you come back, I'll prepare some brown sugar water for you to replenish." β
"Especially you, fatty. You must come out of it alive, don't come out after the whole person becomes exhausted. Tu Lin picked up the pen and turned it between his fingers, when he said this, the fat man was a little confused, what is exhaustion?
"I'm fat and battle-hardened, what scene haven't I seen?" The fat man slapped the bowl on the table.
"Tut-tut, I'm afraid that your arrogant soldiers will be defeated~" Tu Lin's iceberg face gradually melted.
"Boss...... What are you doing? Xiao Wu saw the notebook on Tu Lin's left hand, which she crossed with a red pen and a crossbar.
Tu Lin stroked his forehead and sighed, put down the pen and spoke, "Looking for a house, otherwise we will always live here?" β
"Then when you are looking for a house, you must find the kind of four-hall one-room, I don't want to sleep in the same bed with them." Black Flag sat upright on a small stool.
"Hey, hey, what do you mean? As if we would love to sleep with you. You like to talk in your dreams when you sleep, what's the matter, do you still want to sing? The fat man pointed at him, the fat man likes to dig through old accounts and teach people.
"You, you, you, you still have ADHD, in terms of your size, the location of a bed, you take up more than half of it. Xiao Wu and I could only sleep next to each other. The black flag pointed at the fat man and retorted to him.
"What's the matter, what's wrong with my big body, don't sleep with me in winter when you don't hold me." The fat man's expression was very cheap.
"I... You're amazing, you're you, I'll let you know your mistakes, I'll tell you, I'm a big deal to buy a little sun. Black Flag was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly.
Tu Lin looked at the two of them, sighed and continued to delete useless houses in the notebook.
Dusk is approaching, and the sun is setting.
The orange eggs that dive down, surrounded by golden light, cover the ground, reflecting the other side of the rest and setting off the dim silence of the park. The maple leaves fall to the ground, almost blending in with the sunset sun. In a toy shop, four men and one woman are wandering in front of the door, and one of the boys is molesting the proprietress inside, who is really shameless and filthy.
"Ah Po, we are some of the regular customers in your store, can we be cheaper?" Chu Yunan leaned against the table and bargained in the most shameless way. Huang Tian and Zhong Yu Youhui stood behind him, while Chen Yunhan sat on the bench in front of the door, glancing at a few of them, the three neuropaths ran here as soon as they got out of school, sneakily thinking that they were running to the Internet, it seemed that they overestimated their interests and hobbies.
"Consult, one breath, one hundred and four! Do you want? If you don't, I'll close the stall? "The old grandmother took the alternative Gundam that Chu Yunan particularly fancied, and found such a good Gundam among a bunch of ordinary and featureless Gundams, so she couldn't let it go.
Chu Yunan's eyes stared at the Gundam, although the packaging box was a little old, and it was still a little wrinkled. But in any case, both in terms of quality and assembly, that Gundam is definitely a first-class one.
"One hundred and one!" Chu Yunan said.
The old grandmother shook her head, and without thinking about it, she denied the price Chu Yunan wanted.
"One hundred and two!" Chu Yunan continued to bargain, Chen Yunhan shook his head helplessly outside, watching him struggle inside for a toy, cutting the price for a long time, wouldn't it be okay to buy it at a fixed price?
The old woman's face remained unchanged, and her ruthlessness threw away all the prices below hers.
"One hundred and three!" Chu Yunan looked at the old grandmother and didn't shake her head, as if she had a little hope, and his hands trembled. Huang Tian watched from the sidelines with great trepidation, and slowly swallowed his saliva to calm down.
"Still no, a fixed price, one hundred and fourteen! This kind of thing is not bargaining. The old grandmother's tone was very cold and ruthless, which instantly broke the hope in Chu Yunan's heart.
Chu Yunan held the old grandmother's hands, and the frightened old grandmother was taken aback, and Huang Tian stood in place stunned, so that a toy would not be so impulsive.
"Grandma, ahhh Sister Ga! Chu Yunan even changed the other party's name, it seems that he really likes this Gundam.
"What do you want to do? I tell you that coercion is useless? Just one price! One hundred and forty-one points is indispensable! The old grandmother gritted her teeth and did not seem to regress at any price.
"Sister Ga! My ability is limited, so it's really the last price! Chu Yunan pleaded with the old grandmother, her expression was open, I don't know where the fake tears came from, they looked a little fake.
"Is it really so ruthless and unjust?" Chu Yunan suddenly stood up with a serious face, before he was lying on the table crying and pleading.
"That's right! You get what you pay for, it's one hundred and fourteen! The old grandmother affirmed what she said, she put the box on the table, knocked on the box, "Think about it carefully, or I will close the stall." β
At this moment, Chu Yunan found that the so-called money was hard-won, it was earned by hard work, sweat, and hard work. But here, I want to dedicate this money to this ruthless and unrighteous grandmother, who has no human touch at all, and refuses to cut a penny. He sighed, the world is so difficult, the hard-earned money is so hard to earn, the human heart is so difficult to guess, he is thinking nonsense with his eyes closed.
"She won't bargain, we can't help it, why don't we raise money to buy one?" Chu Yunan turned around and asked Huang Tian for their opinion, Chen Yunhan felt that he really admired Chu Yunan's approach. I knew why I didn't say it earlier, it took so long. Waste her time, and she still has to watch "The Adventures of the Flying Pig" at night.
"You guy, you said it earlier, it really is." Huang Tian dug into his pocket, and suddenly his face was a little wrong.
"Now, I'm only fifty!" Zhong Yu handed Chu Yunan a green Grandpa Mao banknote.
"I love you so much, Young Master Zhong, let's have a chance to go and pay a farewell, you will be the eldest brother, and I will be the second brother." Chu Yunan's mouth was full of gibberish, and Zhong Yu smiled awkwardly.
"I'm only thirty, you take it, remember to give me a leg part!" Hui Hui took out thirty yuan from his pocket and handed it to Chu Yunan.
"It's no problem to give you two legs." Chu Yunan took the money for the return.
Chu Yunan walked in front of Huang Tian's eyes, seeing that he didn't respond for a long time with his trouser pocket, was his pocket money eaten up?
"What about you, Huang Tian?" Chu Yunan asked him.
Huang Tian smiled embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I only have ten yuan, do you want it?" β
"Ten...... Ten bucks? Chu Yunan really couldn't believe how he survived in school, hey, wait...... It seems that they used to blackmail him.
"Ten dollars is ten dollars, and a penny is also power." Chu Yunan took the only ten yuan that was trembling in Huang Tian's hand.
The old grandmother stood at the front desk, and to be honest, she was embarrassed to accept the money raised by the children, although one hundred and four was not very large, nor was it very small. But it is not easy to rely on four people to raise funds.
"Give me a hand." Chu Yunan said to the return beside him, he raised his left leg, and everyone around him looked at him, Chen Yunhan, who was sitting outside, watched the guy take off his shoes, could it be that he wanted to take out the money from inside?
It's really true, the easiest way for every man to hide money is in his shoes, and it is estimated that after taking out the money, the money will already stink.
Chu Yunan took out fifty yuan from his shoes, a crumpled green banknote, compared to Zhong Yu's green banknote, Chu Yunan's green banknote was really wrinkled, and it was a little smelly.
He stacked the money and handed it to the grandmother, "Now! One hundred and fourteen! Do you want to do the math? Mother-in-law? Chu Yunan's face was full of trembling, and he kept shaking his legs. This made Huang Tian's side of him a bystander, and he really had nothing to say.
The old grandmother took the money from Chu Yunan's hand, and she really didn't know what to say about that young man. The old grandmother didn't count much money, after all, she witnessed the process of raising one hundred and four with her own eyes on the sidelines.
"Take it!" The old grandmother said softly.
Chu Yunan took Gundam, first kissed Gundam with his Eros kiss, then his face became triumphant, and he took one last look at the old grandmother, and finally shouted towards the exit, "Let's go!" β
Speaking of robbery, there is no robbery at all. said bargaining, and there was no bargaining. I just don't know why, I always feel that guy is cheap, and I want to squash his impulse. The grandmother immediately put away the money, immediately closed the door of the store, closed the stall early, and finished the work early.
"Zhong Yu and I have a lot of money, so! Zhong Yu has two arms, and returns to two legs, while I, as for me, is in good health, plus a head. Chu Yunan opened the box, poured out all the parts, and split them one by one.
"What about me?" Huang Tian spoke on the side.
"You...... You're in charge of assembling weapons! Chu Yunan took out the parts of the weapon from a pile of parts and handed them to Huang Tian.
"Huh? Soldier...... What is there to fight for weapons? Huang Tian looked at Chu Yunan.
"Hey, don't say that, if it weren't for your weapons, we wouldn't be a particularly strong Gundam. Therefore, we are indispensable, and no one can do without one. Not a leg, not a hand, except for you," Chu Yunan was very skilled in weaving lies, and he also raised his eyebrows and instigated Huang Tian to accept the weapon parts.
"Come on, come on, divide the parts. Remember to grab your own stickers. Come to the park early tomorrow morning and bring the parts you have put together. Chen Yunhan looked at the three of them, like three-year-old children, very naΓ―ve. But it's inexplicably cute, it should be childlike.
