Chapter 18 Return to Qingcheng and see the old man
"You...... Level 3? ”
"Well, thanks to you!"
"How old are you?"
"Twenty years old."
"It doesn't look like it...... Talent is S-rank? ”
"That's right."
“……”
Chen Mu didn't expect that the girl in front of her, who was looking at her with gratitude in her eyes, turned out to be an out-and-out little genius!
S-level talent, it should be a minority in her fire organization.
"I'm a blessing in disguise this time, thank you so much!"
Su Qiao thanked again, she was extremely excited at this time, her face was a little ruddy, and her chest was a little undulating.
"Hey, it's okay, I've always liked to do good deeds without leaving a name."
Chen Mu waved his hand and pretended to be magnificent, he didn't squint, his face was full of indifference, and then he looked down at Su Qiao and asked:
"So we're going to go back now?"
"Well, I've just been promoted now, I've basically recovered from my internal injuries, and I'm in the best state of my body, so I'm going back."
Su Qiao nodded and said.
In addition to the external injuries, she also had different degrees of damage to the internal organs in her body, but now she has basically recovered and has been strengthened.
"Then let's go now." Chen Mu said decisively.
There is no need to hesitate, although there may still be people searching for them outside, but they must go back.
Both of them have a very clean and neat style, never dragging their feet, and set off even after making a decision.
Emerging through the narrow doorway, the hanging whiskers and branches of the old tree were lifted, revealing the vast world outside.
It is still the ruins full of gloomy and decaying atmosphere, with ancient trees towering to the sky, and the branches that stretch outward are like pavilions, covering the sky and the sun, covering most of the dilapidated high-rise buildings;
Sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, forming a funnel-shaped faint beam of light, in which the dust rises and falls, surging with the wind;
The entire ruins look like the Twilight Zone.
Chen Mu and Su Qiao cautiously shuttled through the jungle, cautiously checking to see if there were still people patrolling them, and at the same time running around the road farther away from the road towards Qingcheng.
Although they will be much faster on the road, they will certainly not be able to run on the road, which will easily be exposed.
They could only grope carefully in the jungle and slowly approach Qingcheng.
Fortunately, Chen Mu and Su Qiao seemed to be very lucky, and when they were almost about to arrive in Qingcheng, they didn't meet anyone searching for them.
"Maybe those two people directly said that I was dead in order to invite merit, so there will be no more searches in the future." Su Qiao guessed.
This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, those people are selfish people, and it is normal to do this kind of thing.
"It should be."
Chen Mu nodded, and a relaxed smile gradually appeared on his face.
At least, it wouldn't be dangerous.
Sure enough, until they slowly groped their way into the city, they still didn't meet the searcher.
It was as if they had only been forgotten for a few days.
In an old low alley, next to the red bricks and green tiles, the two stopped, Su Qiao turned his head and said:
"Then we'll separate here, and we'll contact you then."
"Okay."
Chen Mu nodded.
Su Qiao also nodded, and after confirming his eyes, he walked quickly to the left.
She was wearing Chen Mu's white shirt and black casual pants, which were suitable for both men and women, so there was no sense of disobedience and would not attract strange eyes.
And Chen Mu looked at her departing back, and then turned his head and walked in another direction.
He's not going home, he's going to a place his dad told him to go.
Go meet someone.
……
It is a classical garden-style courtyard, but the courtyard is small and there is only one attic for living.
The green tiles and white walls, the cornices and arches, the pink and white gray walls are hung with cyan vines, and the vermilion wooden doors are a little old and have been drilled out of some wormholes.
Chen Mu stepped over the gray stone steps, walked to the wooden door, picked up the rusty door buckle and knocked on it.
"Bell Bell Bell ......"
A murky sound sounded, but no sound of response was heard in the courtyard.
But in an instant, the wooden door opened automatically, as if he had already known that he would come and was ready.
Chen Mu was suddenly shocked.
The high-ranking people, the people who live in it must be the high-ranking people!
Chen Mu was inevitably a little nervous, and with anticipation, he raised his legs and walked into the courtyard.
"Bang."
The vermilion gate behind him closed automatically.
Chen Mu paused, sighed helplessly, and then looked at the layout in the courtyard.
Somewhat unexpectedly, the yard is simply furnished.
The cobblestone path divides the yard in two, with unknown trees planted on both sides, accompanied by a few strange stones to decorate;
On the left, near the attic, there is a small wooden pavilion with a stone table and three stone benches.
There was a purple teacup and teapot on the stone table, and a middle-aged man in black was sitting on the stone bench.
The middle-aged man was holding a teacup and sipping tea, but did not glance in the direction of Chen Mu, as if he didn't know that he was coming or was quietly waiting for him.
Chen Mu looked at the middle-aged man's naturally serious Chinese face, and only felt a little familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
Thinking about it, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I remembered it.
When he was six or seven years old when he was a child, he saw this middle-aged man, and he was in his house, and this middle-aged man even hugged him!
"It's Uncle Fan mentioned in my father's letter, and he didn't run away."
Even though Chen Mudang confirmed the identity of the middle-aged man, he hurriedly quickened his pace and walked to the pavilion.
"Uncle Fan is good." He shouted respectfully.
At this time, the middle-aged man looked up at him, his serious face seemed to have a faint smile, and a deep voice rolled out of his throat:
"Sit."
"Uncle Xie Fan."
Chen Mu sat down and drank all the tea prepared for him in front of him, just to quench his thirst.
Uncle Fan looked at Chen Mu's vulgar behavior, his left eyelid jumped, but he didn't say anything, picked up the teapot and added a cup to Chen Mu.
Chen Mu drank another full cup of tea, and pretended to taste it, smiling.
Uncle Fan's left eyelid jumped vigorously, and he said expressionlessly:
"If you're really thirsty, there's mountain spring water nearby, you can go and drink enough first."
"Ahh No more, enough is enough. ”
Chen Mu looked stunned, and then said with a smile that was not ashamed at all:
"It's not that Uncle Fan's tea is too good, and my nephew is so sweet that he can't hold back for a while before he is greedy for a cup!"
As he spoke, he took the initiative to pick up the teapot to add tea to Uncle Fan and toast the tea.
"Hmph, I didn't see you learn, but your dad's hippie smile is a good one."
Uncle Fan snorted in displeasure, but his hand naturally accepted Chen Mu's tea.
"Hey, doesn't that just need Uncle Fan to teach his nephew well."
Chen Mu opened his mouth without face and skin, and then said:
"My dad asked me to come to you Uncle Fan, and I didn't say what it was......
