Chapter 40: Changes in the Lion City
It took about four hours, until Ji Zi Jianche was sleepy, and finally arrived at the destination.
"Brother, it's on the ground, a thousand yuan. The young driver said, "Thank you!"
"Hmph," Li Xue snorted coldly.
Ji Zijian had no choice but to take out the 1,000 yuan prepared in advance from his pocket and give it to the driver, and got out of the car with Li Xue. The office building that used to be in the center of the city is now crooked and dangerous.
In some houses not far away, there are still a few clothes drying on some balconies, and it seems that there are still people living there. However, the plane trees that used to grow next to the road are long and majestic, towering into the sky.
Fortune and misfortune are impermanent, two years ago, everyone only cared about how the United States dominated the world, who would have thought that the world would be what it is now two years later?
Ji Zijian walked to the familiar sycamore tree in front of him, and gently attached his hand to Mosuo, touching it, as if the rough bark had become Chen Xiaoxiao's white hands, occasionally touched, silky, and fresh.
"Tut-tut, the bark has been worn off by you. ”
Ji Zijian came back to his senses, looked around vigilantly, turned his head to look at Li Xue, who was sullen because he didn't help her because of an awkward quarrel with the driver, turned around and said: "Okay, okay, it's me who is wrong, in this way, I know that there is a pedestrian street here, and we will find a place to live and rest for a while, and I will take you to the pedestrian street for a good walk, and all the expenses will be borne by me, okay?"
"Hmph, just don't be seen by your goddess. Li Xue muttered and walked in front with her head down.
Ji Zijian smiled, glanced at the direction of a big tree in the southeast behind him, and followed.
Speaking of which, Ji Zijian's unit is very close to Li Xue's school, so both of them are familiar with this place. There was originally a foot-washing city on the east side of the unit, which seemed to be completely ruined, so I could only go west for a distance and find a two-story Homeinn chain hotel, which was also collapsed and had been repaired and renovated.
When he entered the hotel, the front desk was dozing off, and Ji Zijian did not call the waiter, but politely called the boss, which was the sequelae of being a dog leg after working hard in the workplace for several years.
Mistakenly calling the waiter the boss, that is called the test paper that could have passed the test, accidentally taking the test with 99 points, mistakenly calling the boss as the waiter, that is called the test paper that could have scored 99 points, and forgetting to write the name when handing in the paper.
The front desk was a middle-aged woman with a very ordinary appearance, and she didn't respond for a long time, Ji Zijian was about to get started, but was grabbed by Li Xue and made a gesture. Ji Zijian looked at the middle-aged woman sitting there with her cheeks closed in surprise, is this practicing?
The two of them happened to be tired enough, and they sat on the sofa next to them and chatted for a while, and then fell asleep in a daze with the afternoon sun.
Until the two were woken up, Ji Zijian glanced out the window, it was almost dusk.
"I'm sorry for the two of you, there have been few customers in the small shop recently, and I have delayed the two of you to rest by practicing. The middle-aged woman said embarrassedly with a smile in her native dialect.
"Your exercises are really special, sleep and practice. It's a lot like a friend of mine. ”
"Oh, yes, I don't know what kind of master your friend is?"
"This, the master can't talk about it, I only saw that his practice is very similar to yours, I haven't heard what sect he is, I don't know what sect you are?"
"We call it three dreams, three dreams of life, one dream of life, one dream of regeneration, and one dream of eternity. ”
Ji Zijian turned his head and glanced at Li Xue who was smiling reproachfully, who hurriedly straightened his demeanor and coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.
"Boss, your practice sounds a bit profound, my friend doesn't have any wisdom roots, and I don't think I'm blessed to be the same as you. ”
"Hey, don't say that, I know you guys laugh at us for being pompous, but we do get a lot of benefits from it. The master of the young sect also said on the video, the exercises of our three dreams, practiced to the end, is the understanding of time, imagine if we can dream for a thousand years, then after we wake up, won't it be a thousand years later?"
Ji Zijian, who took the key and was about to say goodbye, thought to himself that modern people are only afraid that no one believes in such a thing as a dream for a thousand years more than himself. Li Xue beside her also put away the slightly contemptuous smile before. She has always been Bing Xue smart, almost a Dao fetus, which makes her understanding of metaphysics twice as effective with half the effort.
"Boss, your sect's exercises are very knowledgeable. ”
"Hehe, see laugh, see laugh, I'm just an amateur health care, I can't talk about exercises. ”
......
Of course, Ji Zijian and Li Xue opened two rooms, door to door. After a little washing, he carefully shaved his beard, which was usually only cut with a knife, and lay on the bed beautifully, Ji Zijian thought that when he went to the street, he must buy a complete set of daily necessities to solve the many inconveniences of re-entering the life of the deep mountains and old forests.
Ji Zijian lay on the spring bed and shook a few times. suddenly jumped up from the bed, put on a pair of hotel shorts and went out, and knocked on the door of Li Xue's room on the other side.
didn't hear a reaction for nearly ten seconds, Ji Zijian was so anxious that he kicked the door open. Just in time to catch up with Li Xue, who was happily wrapped in a bathrobe and humming a small song, came over and was about to open the door.
"Hulk, what are you doing?"
"We've been followed. ”
"You're a fucking pervert, do you have something else in mind?"
"I didn't! I suspect it's the Taiyi Sect. ”
"Then you've been staring at my chest for so long, can you tell who's following me?"
"I..."
At this moment, in a VIP room on the second floor, the front desk lady was holding a middle-aged man in a black suit.
"Shao Dong, this is the person who follows our guests and tries to do wrong. ”
On the leather sofa, a young man with a tiger's back and a shaved waist was dressed in a black T-shirt with a large skull pattern in front of the T-shirt, a string of thick exaggerated gold chains around his neck, and a glittering golden axe on the floor beside him.
The young man does not turn on the lights in the dim VIP room, but wears sunglasses, showing his unique taste.
"Oh, the guests weren't frightened, were they?"
"The guests were a man and a woman, and they seemed to be very skilled. Not affected. ”
"Oh Kai, what's going on with this guy?"
"He seems to be a member of the Taiyi Sect. ”
"Taiyi Sect?" the young man touched his nose, "Since there is nothing to lose, let him go, I just owe Taiyi a favor to Xiao Yi some time ago, Sister Yuan, although they are not good people, but what the master said is good, the world thinks that the good is good, and the bad is bad, which in itself, hey, is not right." He doesn't care if it's good or bad, since he exists, hey, he has a reason for his existence. Do nothing, we have to do nothing, hey, this is the first key to this door. Don't keep causing trouble for yourself. Eat and drink well and sleep well. Hey, in order to achieve great success as soon as possible!"
"Yes, yes, I know, thank you Shao Dong. The eldest sister surnamed Yuan, listening to the young owner's tone and frustration, from time to time using the word "hey" as a pause to strengthen the tone of the teaching, felt that she was one step closer to becoming an immortal.
When he went out, he put the Taiyi Sect back and went to "sleep". The king of the remaining × in the room took off his eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief at the ceiling tiredly, expressing his misanthropic attitude.
The honest and exaggerated face is Li Sansan, the brother who worshiped Ji Zijian.
The world is changeable, if Ji Zijian knew that his former little brother was sitting on the leather sofa above his head at the moment and pretending to be ×, he would have rushed up and punched and kicked him.
It took a whole hour of hard work to finally convince Li Xue to forgive herself, at the cost of going shopping for a while and buying her a mobile phone. Ji Zijian agreed, secretly complaining in his heart. If it goes on like this, let alone four or five hundred thousand, even four or five million will not be spent!
In the south of the old Lion City, there is a pedestrian street, Ji Zijian rarely went shopping before, if there is any need, it is through the omnipotent treasure, because every time I go to the physical store to see others in and out of the pair, it is easy to feel unbalanced.
Now I have a female companion who is traveling with me, not to mention that I don't have a mobile phone now, so I have no way to shop online. took Li Xue into a specialty store, and Ji Zijian, who was suddenly a little inflated, looked at the boss's strategic disdainful gaze, and ruthlessly spent nearly 15,000 to buy two mobile phones of the same model.
The scientific and technological materials after the mutation are relatively scarce, and this type of product has an increase of about forty percent, which makes Ji Zijian feel a pain again after hearing the news. I got two cards, but I still had a serial number, and one rushed to 200 yuan for the phone bill.
Li Xue, who followed behind, complained, blaming Ji Zijian for being stingy. Ji Zijian smiled magnificently and didn't speak, thinking about changing to his former self, thirty or fifty yuan a month, rubbing other people's nets everywhere, and now one hundred yuan a month rent unlimited traffic, Ji Zijian laughed with satisfaction.
The gravitational force of the new world has changed, and because the ground is constantly changing, the gravitational force has not stabilized, so today's flow and signals are only regional, supported by a large number of signal towers, and to achieve the previous global communication, I am afraid that I have to overcome a big scientific obstacle.
There is no way to contact the family, Ji Zijian originally wanted to try to call Chen Xiaoxiao, but Li Xue unceremoniously squeezed him, but he was still embarrassed and held back.
"Why don't you give your home a call?"
"How can my family fight in the south?"
"Then you will live alone in the future, you can't let me send you back to your hometown!"
"If you wanted to, I wouldn't object. Li Xue was in a good mood, suddenly turned around, looked at Ji Zijian with a smile and quipped.
"Sister, what are you kidding, your family was originally nearly three or four thousand miles here, and now it is conservatively calculated according to fifty times the distance, it is already 150,000 or 60,000 miles, and it used to be only a long distance around the world. Ji Zijian sighed, in fact, the expansion and contraction of various places are different, and some places have expanded and contracted more than a hundred times, so the real distance is farther than he calculated.
Looking at Li Xue with her head down and her pitiful appearance with tears in her eyes, Ji Zijian waved her hand: "Oh, forget it, can't I be considered unlucky, in this way, you will follow me first, but okay, I have no money, you have to keep accounts for all your expenses, and when I go home in the future, the money must be returned to me, and my money will be kept for my daughter-in-law, but I don't want to invest in other people's daughters-in-law." ”
"Tut-tut, Hulk, look at your stinginess, I'm just kidding you. Don't worry, I'll figure out a way to deal with money, let's go, let's go buy a few clothes first, I think that street seems to be a few new shops, the world has changed so much, maybe there is something fun?"
Ji Zijian touched his forehead, thinking to himself what you said lightly, let's not talk about whether you have so much money, even if you do, can I spend your money? Following Li Xue, who was looking back and jumping happily from time to time, Ji Zijian frowned and thought about this question seriously, thinking that if she is really rich, what is wrong with spending some money on her to eat soft rice? Hehehehe!
