Volume 1 Taiping Mountain Enmity Chapter 0068 High-speed rail encounters a scam
The next day, Hou Feibai returned to the studio of the night antique shop after sending Lin Sulan, and the daily schedule was very tight.
In the morning, I first practiced the Lotus Yao Palm Method in the Jedi Passage, and then practiced the Taiyi Innate Skill, which was basically around ten o'clock in the morning.
Then I went to see the squirrel strong chicken fir fungus, and by the way, I was beaten, and I returned to Suocheng Street before half past eleven, went to Guanzhong Noodle Restaurant to eat a bowl of knife-cut noodles, and then brought one back to Sui Jidao.
After that, he began to draw demon master training.
Completing a finishing painting in one day depletes the few spiritual energy reserves in his body.
As long as you don't go back to school, your life is extremely regular.
As for Zhang Xi, in addition to eating and sleeping, he is all practicing martial arts in the Jedi Passage, in his words, this is simply a paradise for practicing martial arts!
……
Yuzhou.
Chunfengdu Community.
It's been two days since Lin Sulan came back.
Hou Yu and Hou Mai had recovered from the shock they had seen Lin Sulan at first.
After eating at noon, Lin Sulan cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, and Hou Mai mysteriously ran into the kitchen and rummaged in the refrigerator.
"What, haven't you eaten enough?" Lin Sulan turned her head and asked.
Hou Mai took out a can of Tianfu Coke from the refrigerator, snapped open the lid of the can, took a sip of it, and then said, "Eh, Mom, why is there less Coke in the refrigerator?" ”
"You've been drinking a lot every day. You, drink less of that carbonated drink, don't you know if you corrode your teeth? I heard that it is easy to become obese. Lin Sulan stopped washing the dishes and counted down Hou Mai.
"Mom, I don't drink it every day." Hou Mai said with a smile, "But there were eight cans before you came back, and now there are four cans left, either you drank it or Dad drank it." ”
"I don't drink it, your dad, how can your dad drink your Coke at that age." Lin Sulan didn't care and continued to brush the bowl.
Hou Mai muttered: "Hmph, I will definitely catch someone stealing Coke." ”
In the afternoon of the same day.
Hou Mai came back from school, opened the refrigerator, and went upstairs to find Lin Sulan with a smile.
Usually at this time, Lin Sulan usually reads upstairs.
This time was no exception.
"Mom, Dad hasn't come back yet, has he?" Hou Mai hugged Lin Sulan's shoulders from behind and asked in a coquettish voice.
"No, you have something to look for him?" Lin Sulan put the book in her hand on the desk, turned her head, and looked at her little daughter.
"Then we don't have any guests in our house, do we?" Hou Mai continued to ask.
"No, you kid, what's wrong today? Naughty at school? Lin Sulan pulled Hou Mai's arm and pulled her to her, "You, ...... at school"
"Mom, it's not." Hou Mai smiled mysteriously, "I know who stole the Coke." ”
"Aren't you really naughty?"
Lin Sulan will be skeptical.
Hou Mai shook his head firmly.
"Then our little Sherlock Holmes, tell me who stole Coke?"
Since the child didn't cause trouble outside, Lin Sulan was relieved, she pinched Hou Mai's nose and asked.
"It's you."
Hou Maijiao smiled, "Don't think I'm still young, I counted four cans left before school at noon, but now there is one can left." Dad hasn't come back yet, and there are no guests at home, so of course you're drinking. ”
Hou Mai said it rightly.
Lin Sulan was stunned for a moment and said, "No, I went out to find Aunt Li in the afternoon, and I've been reading upstairs since then." ”
Lin Sulan said and stood up and walked downstairs.
Hou Mai followed behind her, and said as she walked: "Mom, it's just coke, you can drink it if you like it, what's the big deal, you have to deny it." ”
Lin Sulan ignored Hou Mai, went straight to the kitchen, and opened the refrigerator door.
Sure enough, there was only one can of Coke left inside.
……
Fengtai City, Suocheng Street.
Nocturnal antique shop.
"I once dreamed of going to the end of the world with a sword......"
Hou Feibai was indulging in today's eye-catching paintings, but the phone rang at this moment.
He glanced at it and quickly picked up the phone: "Hello, Sister Lan." ”
On the other end of the phone, it was Hou Yu who spoke: "Xiaofei, we plan to install a smart camera at home, do you know what brand is good?" ”
"Huh? Lao Hou, why do you suddenly want to install a camera? Is there a burglar in the house? Hou Feibai asked in surprise.
"I don't know if it counts. Wheat said that she didn't have the right number of Cokes, three cans missing for the first time, and three cans less this afternoon, and none of us drank them, which is really inexplicable. I'm worried if someone has come into the house. ”
Hou Yu's words made Hou Feibai's heart tighten, twice in a row, don't be targeted by thieves, and hurriedly said: "Then didn't you look for the property to adjust the monitoring?" ”
"I adjusted it, but I didn't see anything, so I thought about installing a camera myself, so that you Sister Lan would be scared at home." Hou Yu said.
"Then I'll have to call the police." Hou Feibai frowned, "This kind of thing, it's useless to install a camera alone, you have to seek help from the police." ”
"In the afternoon, the police came, asked briefly, made a record, and said that there was news to inform us, and I only thought about a few cans of Coke, but it did not meet the standard for filing a case, and it was estimated that it would be ......."
Hou Yu didn't say what he said later, Hou Feibai generally understood what he meant, but in this way, he was even more nervous.
A few days ago, he had a grudge with the Zhao family, and in the blink of an eye, this kind of thing happened in his family, making it difficult for him not to wonder if this was the Zhao family's handiwork.
As a demon hunter family, if the Zhao family does it to ordinary people, they will definitely be able to do it without knowing it.
The more he thought about it, the more panicked Hou Feibai became, if something happened to his family, even if the Zhao family was allowed to pay for their lives, it would be more than worth the loss.
Hou Feibai stabilized his mind and said, "Old Hou, don't worry, I'll see if there are any tickets tonight, and I'll talk about it when I go back." ”
After saying that, he hung up the phone, stopped drawing, cleaned the scorpion tail bone pen, and put it away without regrets, and then went to the quiet room to find Sui Jidao.
"Do you suspect that the Zhao family is messing with your family in Yuzhou?" Sui Jidao stopped the boxing practice in his hand, shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, according to tradition, whether it is the Night Xingsi or the Demon Hunter Family, they will not make a move on ordinary people, otherwise it will be against the established rules." ”
The five internal organs are indeed miraculous, and Sui Jidao's injuries have already healed.
"But there's still a casual practice." Hou Feibai said, "Even if the Zhao family is restricted by convention, what if there are casual cultivators who want to cling to the Zhao family and take action instead of them?" ”
"Loose cultivator......s," Sui Jidao pondered for a moment, "There were indeed a lot of casual cultivators in the Jedi Passage that day, but they all knew that you were a member of the Night Walk Division, and you wanted to sell good to the Zhao family by harming your family, I'm afraid few of them had that guts." ”
"But there are no absolutes, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case. Some of them are loose cultivators......" Sui Jidao glanced at Hou Feibai and said, "Don't panic, I'll go to Yuzhou with you." ”
"Not really." Hou Feibai hurriedly refused, "Your injury is not good, it is enough for me to go back alone, can't my strength deal with a few loose cultivators?" ”
Sui Jidao stared at Hou Feibai for a while, indeed, this kid is now a nine-rank martial artist, and he also has an eight-rank painting demon, and he will also apply demon talismans to enhance his combat power, even if he encounters a seven-rank martial artist, he can probably escape.
"You're right, you go and prepare first, Ge Zhenshou over there, I'll tell him, it's best to find someone for you to go with, and the two of you can take care of it."
Sui Jidao patted Hou Feibai on the shoulder and sighed, "You little monkey, I didn't expect to grow up so quickly." ”
"Team Hou, where are you going?"
As he was talking, Zhang Xie poked his head in at the door, "I saw that the door was not closed, and I happened to hear it when I passed by."
When Sui Jidao saw Zhang Xi, his eyes lit up, and he beckoned: "You came just in time, come in and talk." ”
Zhang Wei stepped into the quiet room, "Team Sui, please command." ”
In the Night Division, Zhang Wei put his posture very low, after all, he was a loose cultivator, and he was still in the assessment stage of joining the Night Division, facing Sui Jidao, who was one of the three major Beacon Jedi Battalions, no, now one of the four giants, he was very polite.
Sui Jidao ignored him, turned his head to Hou Feibai and said, "Lao Zhang used to be a casual cultivator, and he knows a lot about the methods of casual cultivation, so he is the most suitable person to go with you." ”
When Zhang Xie heard this, he hurriedly patted his chest and said, "No problem, the Hou team needs it, and I can go to the soup at any time." ”
Hou Feibai was puzzled: "Can ...... It's a family affair. ”
Sui Jidao smiled and said: "This is also a family matter of the Night Division, I don't believe it, who dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head, you take him with you, just in case." ”
Zhang Xie hurriedly said: "Please organize a test of my Lao Zhang, and ask the Hou team to trust my Lao Zhang." ”
Hou Feibai pondered for a moment and agreed to Sui Jidao's proposal.
……
On the high-speed train to Yuzhou.
There was only one ticket left for the flight to Yuzhou that night, and in the end, Hou Feibai and Zhang Xie still took the high-speed train, and the time on the road was only nearly three hours slower than taking the plane.
"Little brother, the journey is boring, have fun?"
A middle-aged man sitting next to Hou Feibai said with a smile.
Hou Feibai glanced at him with strange eyes and ignored him.
"Little brother, don't get me wrong." The man said, pulling out a deck of playing cards, "Play poker." ”
Hou Feibai waved his hand and refused.
"It's simple. You see. ”
The man pulls a card from the poker, squeezes it between his index finger and thumb, and hovers the card above his left hand.
I saw that as soon as he let go of his hand, the moment the playing card fell, the index finger and thumb of his left hand firmly pinched the playing card.
"Did you see that? It's as simple as that. I hold the playing cards, and when I let go, as long as you can hold the cards, I will give you a hundred dollars, and if you can't hold them, you give me a hundred dollars. ”
The man looked at Hou Feibai with a smile.
Hou Feibai leaned his head on the headrest, slowly closed his eyes, and ignored him.
This kind of old deception, there are still people who take the high-speed rail to play, and they are not afraid that the police will arrest him.
"Huh? What are you doing? Zhang Xi, who was sitting on the other side of Hou Feibai, leaned over and shouted, "Don't disturb my boss's rest." ”
"Ouch, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Perhaps because of the fierce look on his face, the man apologized again and again, and instead went to talk to an old gentleman on the other side of the aisle.
It's still the same routine.
When the old gentleman heard that there was such a good thing, he immediately agreed, but he lost five or six times in a row, and his forehead was sweating rapidly.
"Sir, why don't we play a big one. If you win, I will give you the same amount in addition to the money you lost, and if you lose, you will give me another five hundred. What do you think? ”
The middle-aged man pretended to be kind and said, "I think you were almost lucky, old man, and you were about to win just now." ”
The old gentleman took out his wallet, looked at the only five hundred yuan left in it, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and gritted his teeth to take out the money.
"Wait."
Hou Feibai spoke up.
