Volume 1: The Origin of the Floating Dragon Chapter 20: Turning Point
The undercurrent was surging, and in those places that Li Qing couldn't see, the hidden reefs were slowly surging.
Li Qing's original plan was to find Qin Yanghao to settle the promised reward for translating the bronze book last time, and then use the rest of the time to go to Houhai No. 6 and listen to Zhou Qimei's adventurer story to relax and treat his tired soul.
But after such an experience, Li Qing suddenly lost any mood, and he couldn't care about any three-day appointment with Jimei, so he packed up his mood and hurried back.
Life is really fickle, last moment, Li Qing was the most beautiful boy in the postal hall, and now, he is just a worried passerby on the street.
In fact, after the initial moment of panic, Li Qing had already calmed down, otherwise he would not have been able to make the correct reaction to hide in the shadows of the building, he could be sure that the hook-nosed man had not been able to find himself, which showed that the extraordinary ability he had awakened was not at a disadvantage compared to other transcendentals, and even slightly unique.
"Those rats hiding in the shadows are nothing more than the likes of the transcendent, and now I also have extraordinary power, and if I really want to fight, I don't know who loses and who wins...... The transcendent world is still too foreign to me, I know too little, I don't know too little, and I am afraid because I don't know. ”
Li Qing was thinking about things, and suddenly, he only felt that there seemed to be a gaze firmly locked on him behind him.
"Someone is stalking me?" In addition to being vigilant, Li Qing did not panic, his steps were not chaotic, his heart gradually calmed down, and the five senses far above the ordinary transcendent allowed him to follow this feeling to try to counter the tracks of the stalker.
"Is it in the left rear? About forty or fifty meters away, he is not an extraordinary person. ”
Li Qing seemed to have opened his eyes, and his control of his breath was so keen that even he was a little surprised.
After learning that the other party was not an extraordinary person, Li Qing's heart was undoubtedly a little more relaxed, which at least showed that the person who was following him was not in the same group as the hook-nosed man, and he would not even belong to any otherworldly organization.
Compared with mortals, transcendents are not only stronger than mortals in supernatural abilities, but also have more acute five senses, and it is impossible for a hook-nosed man who is a transcendent person not to know this, so as long as he has a normal mind, he will not send a mortal to track down himself with unknown transcendent abilities, which will not have any effect, but will startle the snake and be useless.
Li Qing didn't even need to take advantage of the blind spot, he directly found a shady place on the street with a corridor in front of the door, and took the opportunity to escape into the shadows.
A moment later, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man dressed in single clothes with a thin face stood at the place where Li Qing had "disappeared", and he looked around suspiciously, wondering why the target he was following suddenly disappeared here.
"Hello, are you looking for me?"
Li Qing's figure emerged, he stood under the eaves, half of his body was light, and half of his body was shadow.
The young man's eyes widened, his mouth opened, and with amazing self-control, he swallowed back the screams in his throat, and tried to speak, "Yes, Mr. Li?" ”
Let him try his best to hide it, because he was frightened
"You've been following me, what's the matter?"
The smell of soft bread floated in the air, and Li Qing smiled, which was a disguised affirmative answer to the young man's question.
Presumably smelling the tempting smell of baked flour mixed with cream, the young man's throat rolled, but he didn't forget to get down to business, and replied: "My name is Xu Xiaoke, it's Qin Yang Good Boss Qin who asked me to wait for you here, he hasn't been at home for the past few days, and said that if there is something urgent, you can go to this place to find him." ”
As he spoke, Xu Xiaoke took out a folded note from his trouser pocket and handed it over.
There is not a trace of stain on the note, which is very disproportionate with Xu Xiaoke's dirty body, it seems that Xu Xiaoke protects this note very well.
Li Qing took it, rubbing his fingers against the smooth paper, and was not in a hurry to open it for a look, but asked directly, "Where can I find him?" ”
Xu Xiaoke said: "The location has been written on paper, Mr. Li can open it himself if he needs it." ”
"Okay," Li Qing nodded, took out five yuan and handed it to Xu Xiaoke, "Help me run an errand too?" Go to Houhai No. 6, find a girl named Zhou Qimei, give her three yuan, tell her that this is the cost of renewal, and the rest of the money is the errand fee I paid, you can take it to buy a bread, or buy some warm clothes. ”
Without any hesitation, Xu Xiaoke took over the business, Li Qing's generosity surprised him, he thanked him several times in a row, took the money, and happily walked into the bakery behind Li Qing.
Li Qing didn't feel how generous he was, and the reason why Xu Xiaoke felt so was just because he didn't understand the danger behind this, and he didn't know what kind of whirlpool he had been involved in unintentionally.
Because of ignorance, we are fearless.
Opened the note and glanced at it, remembering the location written on it in his mind, Li Qing tore the note to shredd, found a random trash can along the road and threw it in.
When he learned the meeting place, he did not rush to the appointment, but rushed all the way back to Lao Hutong Street according to his original idea.
"Yuan Ji Groceries", which has always been known for its diligence, closed its doors early, thinking that it was for Yuan Ye's business, and Yuan Qiongzi's family was busy moving around and had no intention of operating at all.
"I wonder if Yuan Qiongzi's girl found out the letter she left?"
These days, it seems that everything in the family is troublesome.
It was almost twilight, and the twilight of Sihe made Li Qing feel an inexplicable peace of mind, and an idea appeared in his heart for no reason: Wearing darkness and walking in the twilight may be the destination of their group.
As for who "this group of people" is, this is a matter that needs to be carefully discussed, and it is not something that can be photographed by patting the head.
At this time, it happened to be the stall where people came out for a walk after dinner, and there were many people sitting under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the old alley, all of whom were neighbors.
"I heard that Aunt Dong is sick?" Li Qing asked with a smile.
The more bad the news, the faster it spreads, you say which son was admitted to college, which family made a fortune, it may take several days to spread, but if any family is stolen, which son commits a crime and enters the bureau, within a day, every family must know about the safekeeping.
The incident of the woman surnamed Dong fainting on the street belongs to the latter, and because of its mysterious color, it spreads extremely fast, but it takes half a day to become well-known in the old Hutong Street.
"You know everything? I heard that you were stunned? An aunt with green flower sleeves jokingly said that most of the people are watching these things.
Li Qing shook his head and didn't say anything.
"I heard that a doctor happened to pass by, and somehow he pressed a few times on her chest, and she was rescued." The aunt with the green flower sleeve said mysteriously, "I also heard that the doctor is a man, and the few times he pressed his chest, she was seen by her man, and she reasoned with the male doctor very much, and almost beat someone." ”
"That's also unreasonable, someone else saved your wife's life, you don't thank you, forget it, and quarrel with someone, it's not like words."
"I can't see ......"
Soon, the topic shifted to whether the male doctor's chest action was necessary, whether there was a suspicion of indecent assault, and whether the husband of the woman surnamed Dong did it right.
After learning the news that the woman surnamed Dong would not die, Li Qing did not stay uselessly any longer.
Back in the old house, Li Qing rushed back to the bedroom as soon as possible, and after seeing that the bronze book was still in its original position unharmed, the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
"It seems that those people haven't found this place yet, or they haven't taken me into consideration."
Although it was confirmed that the bronze book was intact, Li Qing's face did not show any joy, he knew that it was a matter of time, and those transcendents who broke into Qinyang's good residence would notice him sooner or later, whether it was for this bronze book or for the man in the peaked hat who died in his own awakening trial realm.
Li Qing laid the bronze book flat on the desk, took out a long card from his trouser pocket, and sandwiched it in the copper book.
It was a six-point red and six-point black sky card, and the middle section of the long card was painted by Section Chief Peng wearing the work clothes of the ancient 427.
This is the eighty-fifth card, and he followed Li Qing from the Realm of Trials to reality, Li Qing used to think that this thing should be carried with him, but now he has changed his mind and thinks that it is more appropriate to put it with the Bronze Book.
"I hope Xiao Jin can reply to the letter soon, now it's not just a matter of that half month's salary." Sitting at the desk, Li Qing thought as if laughing at himself.
He thought about it carefully just now, but he found helplessly that he didn't know anything, and it was precisely because of this that he couldn't do anything.
Knowledge is power, and for the first time in his life, Li Qing felt that this slogan posted on the wall of the primary education school was very reasonable.
This feeling of passive waiting is really uncomfortable, confused, uneasy, anxious...... All kinds of emotions were like ant colonies pouring out of the nest, gnawing at Li Qing's restless heart, until night completely fell and the bedroom without candles completely sank into darkness, and Li Qing's anxiety was relieved.
In the dark night, in the shadows, Li Qing can not only have stronger strength and faster speed, but also have a calmer and more helpful heart for thinking.
"Let's go to bed first, I'm too tired, according to Xiao Jin, those who return from the trial realm need a good rest, otherwise there is likely to be a problem with their mental state."
Calming down made Li Qing make the right choice, he lay down on the bed, cleared his thoughts, and sank into sleep.
What Li Qing didn't know was that when he was wandering in his dreamland, a faint crimson light appeared in the palm of his right hand.
It was a waning moon, gradually turning from lack to fullness.
