Chapter Twenty-Five: Something Happened
Wang Li was very happy this night, and also talked a lot with his mother Jiang Hui.
For example, he told Jiang Hui that he has been very appreciated by his teachers recently, and he has performed well in several jobs, and now he has been promoted to partner exceptionally.
Jiang Hui was a little worried at that time...... How unreliable is this 'boss' who casually promoted a nineteen-year-old boy?
Is it still the kind of small self-employed?
She shook her head, anyway, her son works there very well, and the progress in personality is very gratifying, which is enough.
It's just that Wang Li still minds one thing, that is, Jiang Hui slept late that day, and she seemed to have been checking the information......
Wang Li knew what she was doing, and she was planning a trip.
Even the destination is known to be on the side of the mountains of the Northwest Plateau, and it is like a road trip.
Jiang Hui has been doing strategies all the time, and I don't know who to go with......
Wang Xuan secretly had some expectations inside.
He's been in the city since he was eight years old, and he's never been anywhere!
……
The next morning, he got up early, and after breakfast, he went to Lao Ma's grocery store as usual.
Lately, this work has fallen on his head.
At the same time, he was also a little worried, Lao Ma's body was obviously not as good as before after the last fever and heavy bleeding, and he was worried that his teacher would lie in the trash can all night......
Fortunately, the picture he saw when he arrived today was positive.
In the early morning sun, a truck stopped in front of Lao Ma's grocery store, and Lao Ma was carrying goods with the little brother who was transporting the goods in the truck.
It's amazing that this grocery store is actually stocked!
Wang Li's mood also became happy, and he stepped forward to help carry the goods together.
And in the process, Lao Ma handed him a bank card and said: "Here you go, this is my bank card in your name, and the password is your birthday." ”
"Yesterday's 60,000 dragon coins have all been deposited."
Wang Li asked in surprise, "Is this ...... Is there a bank that opened so early? ”
Lao Ma said angrily: "Weren't you in a hurry to go home and have dinner with your mother last night?" ”
"I went to the council branch to do a business...... Any business over there can have a special channel, understand? ”
Wang Li nodded as he worked, not paying much attention to it.
A while ago, the shelves of the Laoma grocery store were really not abundant, and there were too many things to replenish.
Not only is he busy, but even Hotaru and Scythe are busy.
Just listen to a 'tap, tap' sound.
The scythe moved quickly on all fours, and Hotaru stood on top of it, as if it were stepping on a 'mobility car'.
Good guy, where is this 'younger brother', he is simply regarded as a 'mount'!
The point is that the scythe is still happy, and it runs back and forth with Hotaru as fast as it goes, while Hotaru carries various goods to the shelves.
And she's too short to meet taller shelves...... I saw that the scythe struggled to straighten its four legs, so that it could lift up smoothly like a lift, so that its 'sister' could carry the goods higher.
Super perfect fit!
It's just that Lao Ma looked a little sad, and only felt that his former spiritual servant had become a 'self-propelled work car' that could lift and fall in Wang Li's hands, which was too desolate.
Wang Li saw that his two spiritual servants liked to work so much, so he simply found a stool and sat down.
Of course, he is not an idler like Lao Ma, he is a 'charging pile'.
When the two spirit attendants are tired, they will run to him to 'recharge', and soon they will be busy again with full energy, don't be too happy.
The old horse looked at it and shook his head again and again, whenever he saw this kind of picture, he would be extremely emotional, regretting why he didn't think earlier that he could let the spirit attendant serve people?
But it's not bad to think about it now, doing some safe 'housekeeping services', with a little cleaning expert Firefly, and a 'gardening master' flying sickle, their income from the master and apprentice can take off.
It's much more reliable than risking your life to face that kind of evil spirit.
Just when Lao Ma sighed about life, and Wang Li continued to train his mental power to perceive his body...... The old horse grocery store has an unexpected customer.
It was Li Baisheng and Mr. Li, he came, and his expression was very messy.
He came to the grocery store, looked at the cheap liquor sold on the wine cabinet, and without being polite, he just picked up a bottle and poured himself a big sip.
The old horse was very surprised, and then said, "Okay, this bottle is for you." ”
Mr. Li, a big customer, always have some preferential treatment.
But Mr. Li was obviously in a wrong mood, and he took two big sips of throat-burning liquor before he came back to his senses from his state of shock.
Wang Li was a little worried, could it be that Mrs. Li, the social cattle, had a problem?
I always feel a little worried.
And Mr. Li's next sentence was to shock both the master and apprentice:
"William is dead!"
Wang Li and the old horse were in a trance for a moment.
They never expected to hear the news.
You must know that this William was still coming to them for help a day ago, and they did point the way.
But now, this customer is dead?
"Yes...... That carpet! Wang Li gave an obvious answer.
Li Baisheng sighed: "I'm just a little afraid, if it weren't for the fact that we met the two of us early, if it wasn't for the two of us to be cautious enough to deal with the problem, I'm afraid Zhou Ling and I would ......."
He covered his mouth and didn't want to continue.
He obviously felt the fear, and he was even reluctant to talk about some bad things at this time, for fear that it would really work.
Lao Ma and Wang Li were a little speechless, they could see that Li Baisheng was not much sad, maybe William could only be regarded as a nodding friend in the business field...... Li Baisheng's real emotions are fear and happiness, and I believe that he will be able to adjust himself soon.
Sure enough, he casually took the snacks on the shelves in this grocery store and chatted with Lao Ma about some things and drank all the bottles of Lao Baigan.
Then he patted his clothes and got up: "Thank you two for listening to me nagging here...... I really don't want to bring these emotions home. ”
Hearing this, Lao Ma's expression fluctuated and said, "You are a good husband...... Go back quickly, you should be with your family more at this time. ”
Li Baisheng nodded in thanks.
Wang Li also hurriedly said: "If Mr. Li has any trouble in the future, he can come to us, you know the phone." ”
Li Baisheng smiled at him, and then stepped into the car waiting on the side of the street.
This time he brought a driver.
After Li Baisheng left, Lao Ma hurriedly got up and said, "Close the door and leave A." ”
Wang Li wondered: "Where are we going?" ”
Lao Ma said, "Of course, I went to the council branch...... It is not a trivial matter that William has already turned to the council for help but still dies. ”
"Let's go to the council and find out."
Wang Li didn't say a word, he just couldn't understand that his teacher was so gossipy?
However, the old horse could see at a glance what was going on in his head.
"Don't think I'm just curious, I have to confirm the information!"
"This is not a trivial matter, if it is really escaped by some powerful evil spirit, then there will be a period of tension in this city next."
Only then did Wang Li understand Lao Ma's intentions, and he was also surprised by his previous malicious speculation.
It was a serious matter, and they packed up the grocery store, closed down, and drove to the council branch to find out what was going on.
They entered the underground garage and found that the second floor of the normally empty garage had already parked a lot of cars at this time.
"Everybody's here to find out."
Lao Ma said a word, emphasizing the correctness of his decision.
Wang Li and Lao Ma walked quickly into the council together.
I saw that there were already a lot of demon hunters gathered in this huge underground space.
These are all people who stay quietly in their own area on weekdays, and suddenly come out to watch and inquire when they hear the wind.
Lao Ma has been a witcher for decades, and he is quite familiar with these people.
As a result, when these people saw Lao Ma, they all looked like 'please mourn', as if something had happened to someone Lao Ma cared about very much.
Wang Li asked, "Teacher, why does this matter seem to be related to you?" ”
The corner of Lao Ma's mouth twitched and said, "Impossible, I don't have any relatives now, and the only close person is your kid...... Who else could I have a relationship with? ”
They walked up to it in confusion and saw a set of incredible information on the large screen above the office hall.
The first is a photograph of the carpet that William had shown earlier, and the blood stains on it are clearly visible.
Immediately afterward, the screen switches to a dried corpse with gold-rimmed glasses...... The corpse looked like a decent man in a suit and leather shoes, but now every drop of bodily fluids had been drained.
The text next to it explains the origin of the corpse...... It's William!
No wonder Li Baisheng was shocked before, he must have also seen this picture.
And then there's the synopsis of the incident......
At the beginning, William did follow what Lao Ma said and came to the council to report the case.
It was true that there was a witcher who took the case.
But the problem is that, according to the Council's requirements, the first wave of witchers to go mainly to probe the situation.
The witcher who sent to investigate was more confident, thinking that he would be able to solve the situation.
The deceased William was also a big personal addict, and he wanted to watch the whole process because he was a rich man......
As a result, the evil spirit in the carpet woke up, and William, who was a soy sauce party, died tragically directly, and even the witchers who went on a mission were seriously injured and slightly injured.
Today, they are all recuperating in the medical department of the Council.
As for why everyone made 'mourning' expressions to the old horse along the way?
Look at the information of the witcher with one serious injury and one minor injury above: three-star demon hunter Wen Qin, minor injury (traumatic wound); Five-star demon hunter Lu Youdao, seriously injured (soul servant collapse, leg disability, organ damage) ......
Lao Ma's face suddenly became ugly, and then he immediately separated from the people in front of him and walked towards the medical department.
Wang Li followed, and he could see that the old horse's hanging hand was trembling nervously.
Back then, they must have been very good friends.
