Chapter 16 New York City Armed Riots
Peter was a good boy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhao Yu instilled in him the concept and told him that cultivation is not a shameful thing. Although there is no need to show off your strength in public. But when you cultivate, there is no need to hide it from those close to you.
Therefore, more than ten days ago, when he had just followed Zhao Yu to cultivate, Peter honestly explained this matter to his uncle and aunt.
After all, if you go to the farm for three hours every day after school, you don't tell your aunt and uncle that they're worried.
At first, Ben and May thought that Peter was just exercising, just like karate and taekwondo. They were happy to see that Peter was too thin.
But as time passed, Peter's cultivation deepened, and some unusual places began to show.
Ben had already found out, so he made a special acquaintance with Peter.
It was then that he learned that Peter had taken an extraordinary path. He even knew that what Peter had now was just a very basic thing.
Breaking a big tree with one punch is just a trivial matter.
Although Peter doesn't quite understand what his future path is, by Zhao Yu's side, he is always fooled, fragmentary, and knows what to open the world and destroy the world.
Of course, he didn't dare to mention these to his uncles and aunts. It's incredible.
He didn't quite believe it himself.
Just tell my uncle and aunt that the path he is on now is a path of perseverance and great achievement.
Ben was relieved when he learned that this path would require little bit of effort. He felt that things that could be obtained without effort were unreliable, and that things that required a lot of effort to get were normal.
And he believed in what he taught Peter, and in the goodness of the child.
Before dawn the next day, Peter got up, practiced in the courtyard outside the house for two hours, had breakfast, said goodbye to his uncle and aunt, put on the backpack he had prepared the previous night, rode his bicycle, and headed for the school.
Arriving at the school gate, Harry's sports car arrived in a short time.
Looking at Mary, who had gotten out of the car with Harry, Peter guessed that they must have been together last night, but there was not a trace of turmoil in his heart. He's put it down.
"Hey man, you're so early. Harry punched Peter and gave him a hug.
The three of them chatted casually.
There was nothing embarrassing about Peter, and neither was Harry. Just Mary's words, less.
Not long after, Jessica and others also arrived one after another.
Three cars, eight people, went straight to the city.
"What's going to be done today?"
Peter and Jessica sat in the back seat, with Harry and Mary in front.
"Are we going to the city now?"
Harry nodded: "I'll take you to visit the Osborne Building first, then have a good meal, and in the afternoon we will go to the Hudson River for a picnic, spend a wonderful night in the wilderness, and go back tomorrow." β
"GOOD, VERY WELL ARRANGED. Peter laughed.
In the car, the rhythmic rock sounded, and the teenagers and girls hummed songs, chatted casually, and went straight to the city.
Jessica's gaze was always on Peter.
Mary saw all this in the rearview mirror and always felt a little strange in her heart. It's as if a toy that should have belonged to you is about to change hands, which is a strange feeling.
Every now and then, Harry remarked, picking up a number of topics that distracted her.
In the back seat, Jessica chatted with Peter.
She was close to him, almost leaning on Peter, making Peter feel a little excited, but still a little uncomfortable. At the end of the day, the kid was a little virgin.
"Peter," Jessica looked sideways at Peter, her eyes fluttering, "Your change is like a turn, we don't seem to have time to react... Blake went to the hospital for two days, although nothing went wrong... I'm curious, what is the reason for this?"
"Uh... Did he go to the hospital for a check-up... I'm measured, I won't hurt him, well, you know, he's actually just a kid..."Peter scratched at his hair.
"Kid?" Jessica laughed as she covered her mouth, "I don't think you're older than him." β
"It's just... Just a way of saying it. Peter gestured: "I think he is very naΓ―ve, and he uses bullying the weak to show his strength, just like a child." β
"Oh... That's right, too. Jessica agreed, complaining, "When I used to see him bullying, I was scared that he would come to me for trouble... Well, now he's like a wolf with a tail between his legs. But Peter, you haven't told me what caused you to change like this. I was very curious. β
She felt a mystery about Peter, and she was eager to find out.
These words also attracted Harry and Mary in the front row.
Harry said, "I'm curious, too. β
Peter thought about it for a moment, and felt that there was nothing bad to say, so he said, "Do you remember that day? Seventeen days ago, yes seventeen days ago." Let me tell you, I saw an extraordinary man who punched a big tree with one punch!"
"I think about it," Harry thought for a moment, "you said it was in the woods outside the school, but we didn't believe it. β
"Yes, you don't believe it. Thought I was grandstanding. Peter shrugged: "But that's the truth. In order to convince everyone, the next day, I took my camera and hid in the woods early in the morning. β
"What if that person doesn't come?"
"I'm worried, too. Peter laughed, "It's okay, he's here." I thought I was well hidden, but he found me when he went into the woods. Maybe... Maybe you knew I was in it before you even walked into the woods. He called me out. β
"How did he find you?" the other three were curious.
"I don't know, it's a feeling. I probably feel that way now, though not strongly. But if there are certain dangers or special attention, it will make me alert. That's how I found out about that, I think. β
"Tie rich?"
"Yes, I'm apprenticed. Similar to a teacher, but further than a teacher, Ji Fu said that he is also a teacher and a father, and a teacher, and a father, anyway, I don't quite understand. But he was very nice to me, although he often slapped me on the back of the head..."
Several people laughed.
"I thought about it for two days and went to him. He lives on a farm not far from the school, which is his, and he is the only one in it. He walked very fast, and I could see him walking like us, but I couldn't keep up with him. He took me to his villa and then taught me a boxing technique. β
"As you can see, the changes I have made now are directly related to the department. I guess it's my luck. If I hadn't met Ji Fu, I might still be that little thin man with low self-esteem and cowardice. β
Listening to Peter's narration, several people had their own thoughts, but they were all excited.
Harry couldn't help but say, "Peter, do you think we can apprentice? It's interesting, isn't it? It's become so unusual..."
"I don't know. Peter spread his hands and said, "Master said that practicing boxing requires talent. He said I had talent, but I don't know if you have one. Master can see that I can't. β
"You can try it. Jessica interjected, "Peter, if you can, can you take us there?"
Peter was a little embarrassed and thought for a while: "Okay, Master will give me two days off, the day after tomorrow, after school in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, I will take you there." β
...
"I love the exuberance. β
Mary looked at the steel jungle lined with high-rise buildings and said passionately: "I am tired of everything in the suburbs, I want to be the brightest star in this city!"
Mary's dream is to become a big star. She prefers the bustle of high-rise buildings and has a natural instinct for the countryside in the suburbs.
The other three had nothing to say about it.
Harry didn't care, with his background, it wasn't difficult to make his girlfriend a big star.
Peter, on the other hand, didn't know what to say. He thinks that the suburbs and countryside are actually not bad.
Jessica had no opinion.
"It's here. Harry said suddenly.
Through the car window, a hundred-story building shimmered in the sunlight - the Osborne Building.
Mary looked fortunate - it was the property of her boyfriend's family, and at this moment, it seemed to belong to her.
Not to mention how to visit the Osborne Building, when they came out of the building, even Peter looked very satisfied. For Peter, especially some high-tech labs, he was very interested.
Harry then took them to a hotel in the downtown area, known for its delicious food.
Young people always like to be lively, and they are in the restaurant on the ground floor and enjoy delicious food.
The transparent glass windows look out onto the bustling street, and the inside is quiet, and in the lyrical music, no one speaks out loud - a kind of forced 'cultivation'.
It makes young people feel a little uncomfortable.
They prefer to show themselves and fly youthful.
While he was eating, suddenly Peter, who was sitting across the street, stood up!
The other classmates who were chatting while eating were stunned by him: "What's the matter, Peter?"
"There's a commotion outside!" Peter frowned.
Everyone looked back, and sure enough, there was a commotion on the street outside. If it weren't for the soundproof glass, maybe you could have heard a scream and a noise here.
Many cars were forced to stop, countless pedestrians fled in all directions, and on the streets, seventy or eighty people each held some baseball bats, iron rods, and the like, like a tide, smashing the glass of cars everywhere they passed.
Some pedestrians who ran slowly were also affected by the pond fish, and many people were beaten to the ground with blood flowing and wailing!
"Armed parade?"
Harry couldn't help but ask.
The commotion outside caught everyone's attention, and someone called the lobby manager to inquire, but the manager was sweating profusely and didn't know what was going on.
Peter pondered for a moment and said, "Wait here for a while, and I'll go out and have a look." β
"Don't!"
Jessica stopped him: "It's a police thing..."
Peter shook his head: "Those people are hurt, they need help!"
He looked at Jessica seriously, broke free from her hand, and with a few dodges, he went out.
"Oh God..."Jessica couldn't take it anymore, "he broke away from me... It's so dangerous out there, so many people..."
Harry was the most poised: "Peter is different from us now, he has the ability to help others. Guys, I think we should do what we can. β
He stood up: "Those who are injured must be treated and protected. Mary, you call the emergency number immediately, the others come with me, we will send the injured inside to protect them first, it's too chaotic outside!"
"Hmm!"
Watching her classmates walk out under Harry's leadership, Jessica was at a loss.
I had to follow.
