Chapter 31 Intentions
Covertly touching the reward money in his arms, Cheng Jingling was a little embarrassed for a while.
Originally, he thought that the person who came to run errands and deliver the letter was an ordinary cloth guard, so he prepared twenty copper coins and sealed them in a red envelope as a reward to thank the other party for his trip.
I didn't expect it to be a king snake.
Not to mention that the king snake is from the silver team, he specially came to send him a notice, purely because of favors. Let's just talk about the identity of the king snake, the iron-clad detective, or the strongest one in the iron-clad detective, and he can't take out the twenty copper coins!
I had the intention of finding an excuse to go back to the house to seal the two silver coins, but before Cheng Jingling could make a move, I saw Wang Snake take out a red envelope from the placket of his chest, put it on the table, and lazily raised his chin and said, "Oh, this is a congratulatory gift for you, and the package is also full of your things, open it and take a look." ”
"This ......"
Seeing this, Cheng Jingling hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "No, no, Brother Snake, you are too polite, how can you let me give me a red envelope." Please make a special trip for me, I should have given you a red envelope. I didn't know it was you who came to deliver the letter, and I couldn't get the little money prepared in the red envelope, so I wanted to change it......"
Wang Snake stretched out his hand in front of Cheng Jingling, "Bring it." ”
"Huh?" Cheng Jingling didn't react to what the king snake meant.
"I said bring me the red envelope I had prepared." King Snake explained in a flat tone.
Cheng Jingling took out a red envelope containing twenty copper coins from his arms with some hesitation, and said with an embarrassed expression: "Brother Snake, this red envelope is too small, wait for me to wrap you a bigger ......"
"That's it."
Brother Snake directly took the red envelope from Cheng Jingling's hand and put it in the placket of his clothes.
Then he took the opportunity to push the gift money he put on the table in the direction of Cheng Jingling, "I accept yours, you also accept mine, this is called a gift exchange, do you understand?" In the future, you will enter the anti-military guard, and we will still get along for a long time, so I don't care about this time or twice. And how big can you wrap me a big one? Do you know what my net worth is? The meaning is there. You've just broken away from Liu's Mansion, and there's a lot of money to use. ”
"Okay...... Then thank you Brother Snake. ”
Seeing Brother Snake say this, Cheng Jingling could only accept the red envelope given by Brother Snake quite embarrassed.
"Let's open it and take a look." Brother Snake nodded on the table again and motioned for Cheng Jingling to open the package on the table.
Cheng Jingling actually couldn't wait for a long time in his heart, and when he saw Brother Snake urging, he took the opportunity to open the package, revealing the objects inside.
At the bottom of the package was a set of gray-white cloth clothes, and Cheng Jingling recognized at a glance that this was the poor clothes of the cloth guards in the anti-military guards, and there was also a bronze medal and a paper on the clothes.
The bronze medal is dark blue throughout, and the front is a big "Wu" word, and there are eight small characters written below the word Wu: "Zhengwu Pingbei, Dingguo Anbang".
On the back of the bronze medal, there is information about the holders of "Yulan Prefecture Juma City, Cloth Clothes Guarding Cheng Jingling" and so on.
The text is a booklet style, I don't know what material it is made of, it looks like paper, wood and leather, and it feels quite tough to the touch.
After opening, it is divided into two pages, one on the left and one on the right, and you can see that there is a portrait of Cheng Jingling painted on the left, and the appearance is almost seventy or eighty percent.
On the right, Cheng Jingling's name, gender, place of origin, address, identity, ministry and other information are written.
The bronze medal is the identity card of the anti-military guard, that is, the "work card".
When walking the rivers and lakes, as long as you show the waist card of the anti-martial guard, whether it is a high-ranking faction or an outlaw, you must give a few thin faces, because this waist card represents the anti-military guard, but also represents the hegemony of the Tianyuan Empire.
Many people in the rivers and lakes have been bullied by the anti-military guards holding waist cards, so behind their backs, they all gritted their teeth and called it "dog tagging".
And the document is a person, that is, an "ID card", and the importance of the ID card is needless to say.
Many times, in many places, they don't recognize people. Without a photo, you can't prove that you are you!
Holding the waist card in his left hand and holding the photo card in his right hand, Cheng Jingling couldn't put it down and watched it several times, especially the word "civilian" behind the identity column of the photo body, which made Cheng Jingling both happy and at ease.
After more than ten years of private slave status, he was finally broken, and now he is also an innocent commoner!
For a while, Cheng Jingling couldn't help but have red eyes and tears.
The king snake lying in the rocking chair watched quietly without disturbing.
After a while, I felt that Cheng Jingling's emotions had calmed down a little, and then he encouraged: "Although the cloth guards are in the official establishment of the anti-military guards, their identities can only be regarded as civilians, and they are not included in the ranks. Later, when he was promoted to an ironclad officer, he would have an official body. Work hard, I believe that this day will not be too far away for you. ”
Wang Snake is very optimistic about Cheng Jingling.
can learn martial arts as a private slave who has been raised by the family since he was a child, become a martial artist, break free from the identity of a private slave and become a military guard, such a mind and such talent, the king snake has only seen such a process in his life.
Now that he has taken the most difficult step, with a wider road and a brighter future, Wang Snake is convinced that Cheng Jingling's future will definitely not be ordinary!
"I'm already very satisfied with civilians." Cheng Jingling raised his sleeve and wiped the tears on his face, and smiled embarrassedly: "I was a little out of shape when I was excited, which made you laugh, Brother Snake." ”
King Snake shook his head and chuckled, "Normal." I can't relate to you, but I can understand your feelings. People have to learn to look forward, the past will let him pass, heroes don't ask where they come from, with your talents, the future is bright. ”
"Thank you, Brother Snake."
"By the way, you haven't received the Cloud Chopping Knife yet, this is our standard equipment, you need to take the waist card to the Wubei Hall to receive it yourself, I can't get it on your behalf, don't forget to go when you are free."
"Got it."
"It should take three or two days for the Silver Seventh Team to come back from outside the city to rest, your entry notice has been sent, they will come to you, you can join the team again then."
"Yes."
The king snake held his head in his hand, lightly tapped his head with his fingers, made a thinking gesture, and muttered to himself, "Is there anything else...... It seems like nothing is going on. ”
As he spoke, Wang Snake glanced at the waist card and the body plate in Cheng Jingling's hand, and then suddenly said, "Oh, yes! And don't forget to ask Wutang for a trip, thank you old bones. This time, thanks to the old bones, your body disc and waist card can come down. The Liu family has found someone in the government and our anti-military guards, and they want to prevent you from joining the company. I don't know who I'm looking for at the other side of the mansion, let's arrest Wuwei He is looking for Zhu Laosan...... Well, it's the silver investigation of the silver third team. I only found out about this later, and when I knew, the old bones had already come forward to settle it for you. Thanks to him this time, otherwise you would have received a wanted warrant instead of a waist card and a body disk. ”
It's an ancient predecessor again......
Cheng Jingling's heart warmed, then nodded heavily, and said seriously: "I know Brother Snake." ”
"Okay, it should be okay this time, then I'll go!" After all the things that should be explained were given, the king snake did not stay any longer, got up from the rocking chair and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Cheng Jingling hurriedly stopped: "Don't, Brother Snake, you're here, let's eat before leaving?" It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet, so let's have a meal. ”
Wang Snake hesitated, nodded and said, "That's okay, eat at home?" How's your meal going? It won't be too unpleasant! ”
"Uh......"
Cheng Jingling's expression froze when he heard this.
His skills are not bad, but in the past few days, he has been cultivating in the gap of time and space, and he has energy to replenish his body's consumption at all times, and he doesn't need to eat, so he doesn't prepare anything in the stove room.
I'm only going out to buy groceries now, and it's too late to come back and cook again.
Scratching his head, Cheng Jingling smiled embarrassedly: "There is no food at home, I didn't know you were coming in advance, and I didn't prepare anything." Brother Snake, why don't we go out for a bite today, I'll prepare it for the next two days, and then invite you to come to my house with the ancient seniors, and then try my craftsmanship again! ”
"Okay!" The king snake just said it casually, but he didn't pick it.
The two went out together, preparing to find a restaurant on West Eighth Street outside.
Cheng Jingling has just moved here a few days ago, and he is not very familiar with the information of the nearby stores. However, Wang Snake was familiar with the road, and led Cheng Jingling directly to a restaurant called Liuxiangfang.
The little guy in the restaurant obviously knew the king snake, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and made a gesture of please, and said with a smile on his face: "Master Snake, are you here?" But I haven't seen you for a long time, and I'll take you upstairs to sit in a private room? There was also a good spot upstairs! ”
Wang Snake waved his hand and refused: "No, just find me a random place on the first floor, just me and my brother." ”
In the end, the little servant led the two of them to find a better location on the first floor and sit down by the window.
Wang Snake casually introduced Cheng Jingling: "His taste is good, stir-fried yellow beef and stuffy green bamboo shoots are a must!" In the past, when the old bones were still living in your yard, they often brought me and Brother Sheng'er to eat here, and every time I gave Brother Sheng'er a drunk, because of this incident, the old bones were not less counted by Sister Qianqian. By the way, can you have a drink? Let's have a pot of his spring wave wine? It's a good wine, we used to drink it a lot. ”
"I can do it, you can eat and drink whatever you want, Brother Snake, I don't have anything to taboo." Cheng Jingling said casually.
"Okay! Then you're welcome. Come, little guy, bring me a plate of stir-fried yellow beef and a steamed green bamboo shoot...... Another pot of spring wave wine! ”
King Snake didn't look at the menu, and opened his mouth to order a few dishes and a pot of wine.
After the little servant took down the dishes and walked away, Wang Snake sighed again: "Since Brother Sheng'er left, the old bones moved into Wenwutang to live, and I only came here occasionally to have a meal when I came to see Sister Qianqian." I haven't drunk his Chunbo wine for a long time. ”
"If you want to drink, let's drink more today, let's get drunk today!" Cheng Jingling said cheerfully.
"Haha, listening to your tone, the amount of alcohol is not small?" King Snake quipped.
Cheng Jingling shook his head: "I drink an average amount of alcohol, but if Brother Snake wants to drink, I will accompany you." ”
"Good! Just have your words! King Snake laughed heartily.
I don't know if it's because the food is really fast in this shop, or if it's the priority for the two of them, and it won't take long for the wine and food to be served.
Cheng Jingling took the wine jug and took the initiative to pour the wine, and after pouring the wine, he first toasted the king snake.
Cheng Jingling raised his glass and thanked him: "Brother Snake, thank you for making a special trip to send me clothes, waist tags and body photos." To tell you the truth, I was really guessed correctly by the ancient predecessors, and I waited for a day without a letter, so I was in a hurry. If it hadn't been delivered to me tonight, I probably wouldn't have been able to sleep for the rest of the night. ”
"Hahaha! You don't have to be polite, Xiao Cheng, if you need help in the future, you will squeak, and the big brother will cover you! The king snake patted his chest.
After the two of them drank and ate, the relationship between them became a lot closer again.
Suddenly, Wang Snake asked, "Have you seen Sister Qianqian?" It's your neighbor, who lives on the seventh. ”
"I've seen it." Cheng Jingling nodded and responded: "I met it the day I first moved here, and we chatted a few words." Sister Qianqian...... No, she asked me to call her Aunt Bai. Aunt Bai also asked me to deliver a message to the ancient seniors, hoping that the ancient seniors could come back and take a look. Later, when I went to visit the old seniors, I brought a message to the past, and the old seniors also told me everything about him and Sheng'er brother before. ”
"Aunt Bai...... Hahaha! Wang Snake didn't hold back his laughter, he almost squirted out a sip of wine, and after laughing, he thought about it, and nodded again: "It's no problem." You are not a few years old from me, and I am not a few years old with Sister Qianqian, but you are much worse than Sister Qianqian, and it is okay to call Aunt Bai. Alas, time flies, in a blink of an eye, Sister Qianqian has become an aunt, and Brother Sheng'er has been gone for eight years. ”
"The reaction of the ancient predecessors is similar to yours, and even the words are similar." Cheng Jingling smiled.
"Him?" King Snake raised an eyebrow, "He should have a bigger reaction than me, right?" Sister Qianqian has become an aunt in a blink of an eye, but I'm still a brother, he's already a bad old man! Hahaha, it's really an old bone! ”
Hearing this, Cheng Jingling could only chuckle and did not answer. There are things that the king snake can say, but he can't.
Raising their glasses, the two drank another glass of wine.
Wang Snake continued: "Brother Sheng'er is a good person, it's a pity...... But in fact, this incident is not to blame the old bones, it was a complete accident, if someone else came at the beginning, it would be the same result, it can only be said that Brother Sheng'er's life is not good. Enter this door, don't complain about life and death, these eight big characters are written on the stone screen at the door of the guard! Our guards look majestic when they go out, but in fact, they also pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers, and they may be gone when there is an accident. Brother Sheng'er's sacrifice, no one blames the old bones, including Sister Qianqian. It's just that the old bones can't get out by themselves, and they trap themselves in the martial arts hall, drawing the ground as a prison, and they don't want to come out......"
Cheng Jingling nodded when he heard this.
In fact, he had an idea a few days ago, and today after learning that it was Gu Jinlai who secretly worked hard to help him win the identity of the anti-military guard and take care of himself, this idea was even stronger.
That is, in the Heavens and Ten Thousand Worlds Simulator, he was looking for an exercise suitable for ancient and modern cultivation, which could help him restore his body and restore his strength.
You must know that in the heavens and all the worlds, the most valuable thing is all kinds of cultivation techniques and martial arts.
Even if it's a heaven-level exercise, it doesn't need too many tokens, so he can choose at his disposal!
There must be exercises that can regenerate severed limbs and repair broken and crippled bodies!
And after the login was updated yesterday, with the token exchange center, it was easier to help Gu and Jin to repair their bodies, because Cheng Jingling could directly exchange them for the treasure medicine that repaired his body.
But he won't do that anytime soon.
Even if he wants to repay the help of the past and the present, Cheng Jingling will wait for his strength to be strong and have a certain status in the future, and then find a good excuse and a good time to do it.
