Chapter Thirty-Eight: There Is No Way Under Heaven
When the new sun rises, the city of Yongan seems to be returning to its former prosperity.
The deaths of Zhong Yi and Luo Wenxing did not stir up waves among the people, and not many people even paid attention to them, after all, the focus of people's lives is on three meals a day and other entertainment.
As for whether anyone died, as long as it wasn't themselves, they didn't care if Changwen had a new council leader, and they didn't care if Yongan lost a debt collector.
But someone cares.
Cicada doesn't greet guests at the door these days, she sullenly cleans upstairs and downstairs all day long, she doesn't want to let herself be idle, otherwise she will feel uncomfortable.
But I still remember it.
So in the past few days, she broke three vases when she lost her mind, and even knocked over the teapots and teacups of several guys who ran the hall.
In the end, Mei Xiaoyu had no choice but to let her stay in the house to calm down for a few days.
She couldn't calm down, stayed in the house for a day, ran out when it was dark, and ran to Qinghuan mutton shop alone.
Because communication has not yet been restored, smart Yongan people have discovered the business opportunities, and some people have begun to work part-time to find people and talk to others.
Finding a corner to sit down, Cicada called for two errands, gave the two of them two addresses, and asked them to find two people to come over.
The first one to come was a knife.
Xiaodao was going to travel far away in the past two days, and when he learned that Cicada was looking for him, he knew in his heart that it was probably for Chu Huan's business, so he rushed over quickly without hesitation.
Fresh-cut mutton, coriander lamb meatballs, sheep's eye ...... Xiaodao didn't know that these were Chu Huan's favorite dishes, he sat down and saw that the cicada didn't adjust the ingredients, and knew that the cicada probably didn't have the heart to eat.
"What's the matter, Cicada, Chu Huan still has no news at all?"
He has also been checking Chu Huan's traces in the past few days, but Chu Huan is like evaporating from the world, and there is no news.
Cicada shook her head, picked up a chip and handed it over: "Brother Dao, this is my and Xi'er's savings for so many years, probably less than two thousand gold coins, you take it." ”
"What are you doing here?" The knife was stunned: "If you want to find Chu Huan, you can take this money." ”
"Don't worry, Chu Huan is now my major shareholder, I will take care of it, as for you and Xi'er's money, I don't need it."
"You can't go up and down when you're looking for someone." Cicada smiled a little reluctantly: "I feel uncomfortable if I don't do something." ”
Xiaodao lowered his head and was silent, but he thought in his heart that Chu Huan, this kid was really okay, so many people were concerned about him.
"If Chu Huan comes back in the future and knows that I have taken away your and Xi'er's savings, do you think he will beat me to death?"
Xiaodao still refused, two thousand gold coins was not a small amount, he had only saved more than two thousand gold coins after working hard in the black market for so many years.
"That's it, Brother Dao, this money is not used to find Chu Huan." Saying that, Cicada got up and came to the knife's side, grabbed the knife's arm and put the chip in his hand: "This money, I will buy shares!" ”
Seeing Xiaodao's face of surprise, the cicada said Don't be too little.
Xiaodao said how could it be, he thought about it and nodded heavily: "Don't worry, as long as I don't die, this money won't be wasted." ”
Cicada returned to her seat: "I just wanted to do something with him." ”
"Brother Dao, eat some when you're hungry, and you'll have friends coming over later."
"I won't eat it." Xiaodao got up: "You take care of your body, and I'll look for you when I finish this batch of goods." ”
Cicada said yes, and after Xiaodao left, she felt a little better in her heart.
Jiang Xiaoling came relatively late, and she was studying Yong'an's legal code these days.
She was accompanied by Liu Ruyun.
"Why don't you eat it?" Looking at the cicada who didn't move her chopsticks, she comforted: "Don't think about it anymore, Chu Huan definitely doesn't want to see you like this if he is here." ”
Liu Ruyun on the side ate mutton silently and did not say a word.
"Did you watch the news? Three ships had an accident in the East China Sea that night. ”
Obviously, Cicada and Liu Ruyun didn't care about this, they were both at a loss.
"Two cargo ships and a passenger ship were robbed by pirates." Jiang Xiaoling said this, hesitated for a moment and said: "The last place where Chu Huan appeared was in the East China Sea, do you think he will be on the boat?" ”
"Chu Huanji people have their own natural appearance, and nothing will happen." Seeing that Cicada'er's face was a little ugly, Jiang Xiaoling said again.
If Chu Huan is on the boat...... Robbed by pirates...... The cicada didn't dare to think about it, so she hurriedly changed the topic and said:
"Don't mention him." After speaking, she looked at Liu Ruyun on the side: "Are you going back to Lingyun in the next two days?" ”
Liu Ruyun put down his chopsticks: "Yes, I thought that I couldn't do it if there was such a big broadcast accident this time, but I didn't expect that the station only deducted my bonus for half a year." ”
"That's a good thing." The cicadas are finally happier; "Then I'll give you this meal!"
After speaking, she called the guy who ran to the hall and ordered a bottle of liquor: "I haven't drunk it for a long time, let's drink some?" ”
"I'm afraid one bottle is not enough." Liu Ruyun also wanted to drink some, although she didn't know why Chu Huan disappeared, but the disappearance of Chu Huan made her a little upset.
Liu Ruyun turned his head to look at Jiang Xiaoling: "How about not getting drunk and returning today?" ”
"Okay, you can't drink as much as you want." She was also a little depressed.
"Then get another bottle." Greeting the guy again, Cicada looked at Jiang Xiaoling: "What about you, how are you doing these days?" ”
Jiang Xiaoling nodded: "I have already resigned." ”
"Really." Cicada was a little surprised, in her opinion, a girl like Jiang Xiaoling was already the pride of the sky, and she didn't know what to keep tossing, but as a friend, she supported Jiang Xiaoling's approach.
"I told Sister Mei about you, and Sister Mei said that the votes for Cailian River will be yours in the future."
Jiang Xiaoling wanted to participate in politics, and Cicada said to Mei Xiaoyu that Du Huaili happened to be there at that time, and Luo Wenxing's death caused no one to compete with Li Qianfan for the director of Yong'an's chamber, seeing that Li Qianfan was about to become the leader of Yong'an, he was a little bored when he didn't deal with Li Qianfan, so he thought that he would not give Li Qianfan a random vote.
Mei Xiaoyu said that he knew Du Huaili's thoughts, so he suggested that Cailian River was a woman's world, and he simply voted for a woman.
Du Huaili nodded in agreement, he didn't know that his unintentional move had brought the biggest variable to Yong'an's political circles.
The ballot of the Cailian River...... Jiang Xiaoling raised his wine glass, and the three of them touched it and drank it all: "I will definitely go to Wenxianglou to thank Sister Mei when I go back." ”
"How many votes does Cailian River have in Yong'an?" Liu Ruyun asked on the side.
"About a twelve."
"So which party are you going to join? Democratic or conservative? ”
"Not even that." As soon as Jiang Xiaoling's words came out, Cicada and Liu Ruyun were taken aback.
"I'm going to be a Republican."
Republican? The once largest party has now fallen into the Republican Party, which is almost unpopular?
This......
"Okay." Liu Ruyun didn't know how to persuade Jiang Xiaoling, she was a little opposed to girls participating in politics, but now Jiang Xiaoling's path is still the most difficult one, giving people a feeling that the sword is on the sidelines.
Cicada too, although she doesn't care about political affairs, she still knows about the declining republic.
Jiang Xiaoling's expressions were in full view, she didn't care at all, but raised her glass a little excitedly: "There is no road in the world, there are more people who walk, there is a road, and things are man-made!" ”
Cicada and Liu Ruyun glanced at each other, and the two raised their glasses together:
"Come, let's toast to the future party whip!"
