Chapter 104: Please Eat
Half of the non-returning knife out of the sheath was put into the sheath by Wu Hou, and the strange man made him confused, and the inexplicable words were even more puzzling, causing Wu Hou to eat absent-mindedly at a happy meal.
The rest of the people didn't make a fuss because of this little episode, and quickly forgot about it, but Wu Hou kept thinking about it, and always felt that he was going to be targeted.
There are so many people at the table, only Duanmu Shenjiu knows Wu Hou's thoughts, he saw that Wu Hou was a little depressed, so he said to his apprentice, "You will meet a lot of this kind of people in the future, don't worry, the old rivers and lakes are splendid and colorful, there will always be some martial artists hidden in the world, and the one you meet is one of them." ”
Wu Hou looked at Duanmu Shenjiu with some horror, and said uneasily, "He said that he knew the Returning Sword..."
Duanmu Shenjiu laughed silently, patted Wu Hou's shoulder, and stopped talking. The knife has its own past, why did the man say that he didn't know the knife, Duanmu Shenjiu didn't know the reason.
Mu Haisen at the dinner table discussed the future development with the big guys, thinking about how to promote his reputation, how to advertise, how to attract people, how to make money, how to...
But Mu Haisen's idea was vetoed by Duanmu Shenjiu with a word.
Duanmu Shenjiu looked at Mu Duoduo, who was eating lobster, and said to everyone, "You should practice what I taught you first, and as for the rest, just leave it to Wu Hou first." ”
Wu Houmu looked at the master and asked, "What can I do?"
The six brothers of Mu Haisen also looked at Duanmu Shenjiu curiously, and then Duanmu Shenjiu said easily, "Simple, all the martial arts halls in Hangzhou City, large and small, and all the sects in the surrounding mountains and forests, let Wu Hou visit them one by one in the name of Yizhenglian, if it doesn't work once, twice, then three times, until it makes a reputation." ”
Several people looked at each other, and Mu Haisen hesitated, "Old Ancestor, what do you mean, go and smash the field?"
"That's what it says in modern terms. Duanmu Shenjiu nodded.
Several people looked at Wu Hou with a wicked smile, and Mu Hailin said, "It's time to play now." Mu Haijiang said, "What an awesome thing!" Mu Haichuan said, "That's it, how much limelight you get, you can envy it when you think about it." ”
Mu Haimu laughed and said, "Okay, in the future, Wu Hou will be the material for us to be righteous and righteous." Mu Haiyue followed and said, "Alas, I really envy this kid, he has this errand at a young age, he can beat it, but if he can't beat it, he can come back and invite his ancestors, he has nothing to fear!"
Duanmu Shenjiu shook his head after hearing this, and denied it, "If he wants to touch a hard nail, I won't stand up for him, this is a good opportunity for training, and he needs to finish it by himself." ”
Wu Hou said depressedly, "I'm still going to find a job a year ago and make a few days of money, now let me go to the door-to-door challenge one by one, then how can I make money..."
"Don't be afraid, Master will give it to you. Duanmu Shenjiu said with a smile.
Wu Hou picked up the wine glass on the table, drank the two pots in the cup in one gulp, opened his mouth and let out a scream, shaking off the gloom in his heart, and said with his eyes like a torch, "Okay! Then I'll hit the entire Hangzhou City, haha, I'm a little excited to think about it!"
Although Hangzhou City is a modern city, there are not a few martial arts people in the city, and there are no less than 100 martial arts halls that practice modern martial arts routines. This does not include the warriors in the surrounding countryside, in the mountains, and hidden in the countryside.
Duanmu Shenjiu gave Wu Hou this errand, and he also had his own ideas. What's more, the growth of a martial artist is not enough to just practice hard, what is more needed is to improve one's own strength in actual combat again and again.
In the early rivers and lakes, most of the martial artists comprehended the Great Dao in the battle of life and death, so as to improve the spirit of their Dao heart. However, now that social order is getting better and better, the complete system of a large country has formulated countless rules and regulations, and it is a serious crime to beat and kill others, and if you go to the public security bureau, you will be sentenced to death.
Therefore, it is precisely for this reason that there are fewer and fewer people who are dedicated to martial arts, and there are fewer and fewer masters who practice martial arts, and then it has become a rare year of decline in martial arts for thousands of years.
The meal was almost finished, Duanmu Shenjiu and Wu Hou said, "Wu Hou, you don't have to go to the river to practice the knife in the future, if you can't find a way, you can run along the river every night, practice the knife technique while running, the burden on your legs is the lock, insist on practicing every day, and when you take off this lock, your strength will be a little stronger." ”
Wu Hou agreed, but in his heart, he thought in his heart that he was used to practicing with the tide now, and suddenly there was no resistance from the water, and he was afraid that he would be very uncomfortable. So he decided in his heart that although he had completed the goal set by his master to split the river as a road, he still chose to continue to practice in the river.
The six brothers of the Mu family seemed to be in a hurry, and they couldn't wait, so as soon as they finished eating, they urged Duanmu Shenjiu to go back early, wanting the old ancestor to pass on the martial arts as soon as possible. During this period, Mu Haisen also came up with an idea, saying that he would print some small advertisements and send them out in the surrounding areas, more or less to Yizhenglian to publicize them.
Duanmu Shenjiu naturally acquiesced, and handed over the responsibility of sending this small advertisement to the little girl Mu Duoduo. The little girl cheered and was very happy, and she attached great importance to the things that the little grandfather handed over to her.
After they were full of wine and food, everyone got up and left the restaurant, Mu Haisen went to the bar to pay the bill, and the rest of the people left the house and walked outside. The weather was overcast and it looked like it was going to rain and, if you were lucky, maybe a snowfall.
Now the snow scene in Hangzhou is not very common, compared with the winter of Lin'an City when it snowed many years ago, there has been a lot less beauty, many local old people, but also just remember that they were young, rare snow, and then many years, with more and more high-rise buildings, the asphalt road is getting wider and wider, and I have not seen it again.
I don't know if it will snow today, Duanmu Shenjiu looked at the sky and thought to himself, before I leave, I must always leave some brilliant ones. He looked back at the brothers and Mu Duoduo who were standing together, as well as Mu Haisen, who had just walked out of the door after settling the bill, and finally his eyes fell on Wu Hou.
"That's what I want to leave behind. Duanmu Shenjiu muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear.
Mu Haisen walked out of the door, still holding a few bottles of drinks in his arms, and he said to everyone with a happy face, "Look, this boss can be a man, the per capita consumption is less than a hundred, and he sends so much water, hehe, come here next time!"
Several people smiled helplessly, Mu Haisen is like this, he has been used to it for many years.
Everyone was about to go back, Wu Hou looked at everyone, and said, "Go back, I'll go find someone." ”
Duanmu Shenjiu knew that Wu Hou was going to invite others to dinner, so he nodded slightly, and then Wu Hou separated from a few people and walked in another direction.
In the gloomy half of the afternoon, the cold wind blew on the street, a young man carried a big knife, swayed and walked, not feeling cold at all, he walked for a while, he shook his feet, and the anklets made of hairpins on his feet were no longer as bulky as before.
I have to say that compared with a few months ago, Wu Hou's body has undergone qualitative changes. The vehicles speeding on the asphalt road slowed down in his eyes, and the birds in the sky flew overhead, Wu Hou raised his head as if he could see the trajectory of the birds flying, and even the whispers of passers-by dozens of meters away, he could hear them.
These subtle changes were the only ones that could comfort Wu Hou in the past few months, they were the fruits of his hard work, and each of them was very beneficial to him.
When Wu Hou was eating, the reason why he asked Duanmu Shenjiu for money was because a few months ago, when he entered the police station, he met Guan Qingyao by chance. At the time of separation, Wu Hou said that he had time to invite Guan Qingyao to dinner to show his gratitude, but he didn't expect Guan Qingyao to agree generously, and also wrote down his mobile phone number on Wu Hou's hand. Today, Wu Hou was going to invite Guan Qingyao to dinner, so he opened his mouth to ask Duanmu Shenjiu for money. This is really the first time that he took the initiative to ask the master for money, and it has always been Duanmu Shenjiu who took the initiative to give Wu Hou some living expenses.
The appearance of the master and apprentice is not only a master and apprentice, but also like a father and son, and the two of them have been more or less moved by this in their daily lives.
Wu Hou chose to run, he walked towards the police station in his memory, held the knife in his hand, and strode over, if someone was around, he might see that when Wu Hou's foot fell to the ground, the asphalt on the ground would sink slightly, and it would return to its original state after his footsteps were removed, and it was not easy to detect.
-------------------------------------
It was about to get off work, Guan Qingyao was still busy answering the phone, and there was no time to spare. Since the last time she dealt with a drug-related case, she has insisted on continuing to trace the source of the goods, but the strange director suddenly told her one day that she should answer the phone honestly in the office, and no longer have to run out because of some small cases, and no longer have to insist on investigating drugs. As for the other cases, just let the male policeman go, she is the only female policeman in the office, just stay in the office,
With Guan Qingyao's character, how can she stop after half of the investigation, although the director did not let her continue to investigate, but she still secretly wanted to follow the vine, but unfortunately, after being known by the director, she was severely reprimanded, and after that, Guan Qingyao stayed in the office honestly during work hours, and never went out to find trouble.
There are a lot of calls received every day, but most of them are trivial things in the lives of ordinary people, such as the child's head stuck in the railing, the two owners in the community have a quarrel because of the parking space, and the marriage of individual couples has cracks, one of them cheats, and is caught and raped in bed by the other party, etc.
There were also some inexplicable phone calls, and when she called for the first time, Guan Qingyao answered them in a proper manner, but the other party hung up without speaking. Later, he called every once in a while, and he didn't say anything about calling the police or anything, he had a nonsense with Guan Qingyao, Guan Qingyao warned him many times, but the other party didn't listen to the admonition, and he still kept calling again and again to chat with Guan Qingyao. Even if you talk about a sentence or two, you have to call, it seems that the phone call, and you can be very content to listen to Guan Qingyao say "Hey". Due to her duties, every time Guan Qingyao saw that this number was calling, although she didn't want to answer it, she could only answer the phone according to the process every time.
Guan Qingyao felt that the other party might be a pervert, thinking that everyone in the institute would be there one day, and if he had time, when he called again, he would lock the location of the phone number and take someone over to find him directly. But the person who called seemed to know Guan Qingyao's thoughts, and since then when he called again, he changed it to a public phone, one at a time, and the location was different. In this way, Guan Qingyao can be angry, but he can't make a big fuss, he holds a breath in his chest, and he wants to slap it when he sees the phone all day long.
When it was time to get off work, after hanging up the last phone call of the day, Guan Qingyao leaned back in her chair, rubbed her temples painfully, and made a helpless and impatient voice. She rubbed her temples and shouted angrily in the room where she was alone, "When will it be finished, who likes to pick it up!"
The door was not closed, and a man walked in from the outside, because he had already left work, his uniform was changed to casual clothes, a decent casual suit, very slim, and the man who set off was slender and masculine.
As soon as he entered the door, he looked at Guan Qingyao with a smile and said gently, "Yaoyao, are you complaining again?"
Guan Qingyao looked at the man dissatisfied, watching him walk over who thought he was very chic, crossed his hands to his chest, leaned his shoulders against the wall on the side, and smiled charmingly at himself.
"I answer the phone every day, I'm annoyed!" Guan Qingyao patted the table angrily.
This man is the same man who interrogated Wu Hou last time, and Guan Qingyao also stepped on him in the director's office.
Guan Qingyao looked at the man who was leaning against the wall and smiling at him, and asked again, "Master Zhao, if you don't go back after work, why are you here with me?"
The man known as Zhao Dagongzi, named Zhao Jianqi, is a celebrity in this police station, he is young, and he has been promoted to the position of deputy director last month.
Zhao Jianqi smiled mysteriously, leaned over and said to Guan Qingyao, "Let's have a meal together in the evening?" I have two movie tickets here, let's go to the movies together after eating, okay?"
But Guan Qingyao, who is not gentle, didn't eat this, laughed disdainfully, and said, "What's the matter? You just broke up with your girlfriend who works in the bank, and you turned your head and wanted to soak me?"
Zhao Jianqi's face was embarrassed for a while, she leaned on her shoulder against the wall and stood up straight, and said, "Yaoyao, how can you say that, I like you from the bottom of my heart, you know, I like girls younger than me." ”
"So you broke up with your sister who works in the bank?" asked Guan Qingyao with a smile.
Zhao Jianqi was embarrassed again, and replied: "Look at you, don't mention her, okay, I only have you in my heart now." ”
Hearing this, Guan Qingyao felt numb for a while, and goosebumps all over her body, she stood up with a strange scream, and said in disgust, "Don't be like this, don't be like this, don't be like this, I can't stand it, the flesh is numb." ”
"Jingle bells, jingle bells. "The phone rang.
Guan Qingyao was furious, "Why are you still calling when you get off work!"
Zhao Jianqi pointed to a mobile phone next to the landline, and reminded with a smile, "It's your phone ringing." ”
Guan Qingyao looked at it, oh, it turned out that it was really her mobile phone ringing, it seemed that she was answering the phone all day long, and she was a little nervous when she answered it, and when she heard the sound of the jingling bell, she thought it was the phone in the office.
Guan Qingyao picked up her mobile phone on the table and pressed the answer button.
"Hey, hello. ”
Zhao Jianqi heard a man's voice coming from Guan Qingyao's mobile phone, but couldn't hear what he was saying.
Immediately afterwards, Guan Qingyao said happily, "Really? ”
After saying a few more words on the phone, Zhao Jianqi leaned over to listen, but as soon as Guan Qingyao turned around with the phone, he couldn't hear it at all.
"Where are you?" Guan Qingyao said excitedly, "Ah, at the door, okay, I'll come out immediately." ”
Hanging up the phone, Guan Qingyao looked at Zhao Jianqi with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, I have an appointment." ”
Zhao Jianqi was a little unhappy, but tried her best to maintain a demeanor that matched her appearance, squeezed out a smiling face and said, "Okay, then we'll make an appointment another day." ”
Guan Qingyao wanted to say don't change the day, I won't go to the movies with you, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back. After all, Zhao Jianqi is the deputy director, and he usually doesn't respect him very much, but now he can't say so ugly, but his father reminded himself that he should live a little bit.
So Guan Qingyao nodded, put her big padded jacket on the outside of her uniform, and said, "Well, let's do it another day." ”
"Well, okay. Zhao Jianqi's tone was still very gentle.
Guan Qingyao left the room quickly, walked towards the toilet, and after a while, she tidied up her hair in front of the mirror of the sink, and felt that it was not good-looking, so she spread out the braids again, and her black hair was draped over her shoulders. She also took out a pink lipstick from her padded jacket and painted her lips with color, then took out the makeup case she carried with her, and applied a light layer of rouge gouache to her face, then looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction, and turned to walk out.
After walking out of the toilet, Guan Qingyao went straight to the parking shed and rode her own motorcycle, and at this time she saw Zhao Jianqi again, who was sitting in the car and looked at herself in surprise. Guan Qingyao glanced at him, didn't speak, lowered his head and rode a small motorcycle to the gate. Zhao Jianqi, who was sitting in the car, looked more and more ugly, thinking who was going to see her, and she wore light makeup.
At the gate, Wu Hou, who was hanging Erlangdang, squatted on the fire hydrant with his legs open, holding the knife of no return, looking left and right, waiting for Guan Qingyao.
Seeing Guan Qingyao riding a motorcycle out of it, Wu Houcai got down from the fire hydrant and beckoned with a smile. Guan Qingyao also saw Wu Hou, rode the motorcycle in front of Wu Hou, and laughed.
"Good boy, you said okay to invite me to dinner, it's been a few months, and if you don't invite guests, you will have to wait for next year. Guan Qingyao was in a good mood and joked with Wu Hou.
Wu Hou raised his head and snorted, and replied, "Isn't this coming, anyway, why are you more beautiful today than before? What's going on with your mouth, it's pink, it's weird and good-looking." ”
Guan Qingyao pursed her lips like a girl, shook her head and said, "That's it, my mother has always been so good-looking." ”
Wu Hou pursed his lips, "Eldest sister, I'm not as narcissistic as you." ”
"Hey, hey. Guan Qingyao laughed a few times.
Another car drove out of the yard, and honked the horn when he went out, which attracted the attention of the two, Guan Qingyao looked back, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Zhao Jianqi, a bastard, drove the car and came this way! Guan Qingyao scolded in her heart.
