Chapter 107: Career
Outside the door of a store, a delicate-looking and fashionably dressed girl was holding the hands of two friends in fright, and kept shouting: "I, my bag~" Her two friends were also at a loss, just kept pulling the backpack with red flowers on a white background that the girl was carrying behind - the backpack was cut by a blade and a short gap, and her wallet was taken away from here by the young man. The three of them were panicked and didn't know how to deal with such a situation.
"Well, three rookies! The bag was stolen, the first time to find the security guard, the second time to find the police! Alas, if it weren't for my clever ears and eyes to find out about the matter here and arrive in time, you delayed the best time to catch the thief, this wallet would not be recovered!"
Lin Xiao shook his head and sighed in a tone that was already similar to the bald fat man and his group, which was the kind of lazy, hanging, and almost a bit ruffian.
He walked up to the girl, threw the wallet in front of her, and said with a bright smile: "Miss, is this your wallet? Well, this wallet is very delicate and beautiful, and it matches you very well! ”
Casually stuffed the wallet into the girl's hand, Lin Xiao rubbed his nose with his thumb, and laughed softly: "In today's world, there will always be some discordant people and things, little girl when she goes out, it's better to be careful." ”
The girl hurriedly grabbed her purse, looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly a smile appeared on her frightened face. She raised her head and was about to say something to Lin Xiao, when Lin Xiao turned around very chicly, strode to the nearest electric escalator, and then walked to the top floor. The girl was stunned, turned her hand and grabbed her backpack that had broken a big slit, and suddenly spread her feet and chased after Lin Xiao. Her friend didn't catch her, so he had to follow.
Lin Xiao walked back and forth on the highest floor of the mall with his hands behind his back. His ears were raised high, listening to everything going on in the mall. He hummed in a low voice an old song he had learned from the fat bald man's computer, as if he were not working, but in the countryside.
He used a knife and other methods taught by a few drinking friends who were born in the military and police, and looked at the tourists around him with the corner of his eye, guessing their origins and occupations according to their clothing and demeanor, and guessing what kind of relationship they had with each other, what their identities were, and whether they came here purely for lounging or for a purpose.
Earth and monasticism are two extremes. The earth's worldliness has reached the extreme, but the monastic world has reached the extreme.
In just two or three months on earth, what Lin Xiao saw, heard, and encountered was a hundred times more complicated than before. He observes the state of people's hearts from the perspective of a bystander, in fact, he is using these people's hearts and these things as a carving knife to slowly carve his own heart. He hadn't forgotten the karmic entanglement of the cultivation world because of the vast red dust of the earth, but he was no longer the same person he used to be.
There was a sudden tightening of his arm, and a delicate voice shouted, "What about the thief who stole my bag?"
Lin Xiao turned around, and the delicate-looking girl grabbed his arm angrily, jumped to his feet and shouted at him. Lin Xiao smiled slightly, and a big piece of lies flew out of his mouth: "Hmm, he ran too fast, I couldn't catch up with him, I just snatched the wallet from him, and he ran away without a shadow." Well, this young lady, do you have any questions?"
"Huh?" the girl was dumbfounded, and she asked hesitantly, "You, can't catch up with him?"
Lin Xiao nodded vigorously and said seriously: "Yes, people are dressed in a full set of sportswear, and I am wearing a tight uniform, how can I catch up with him?"
"This~" The girl hesitated, nodded lightly, and said in a low voice: "It's reasonable! I thought you deliberately let him go." ”
"How is it possible!" Lin Xiao pointed hard at the Baowan seal on his sleeve, and said with a smile: "How can I say that I am also a people's security guard, although I am not a people's public security, but the obligation to fight crime and maintain social order is the same, how can I deliberately let them go? Miss, it is a very lucky thing to be able to get your wallet back! Your backpack is scratched, just take it as a lesson! Where do you little girls go out in the future, then you have to be more careful." Well, don't get stolen anymore. ”
Lin Xiao's smile has an indescribable charm that makes people trust, the girl glanced at Lin Xiao, couldn't help but blush for a while, nodded hurriedly, replied to Lin Xiao in a hurry, turned around, grabbed the two friends and ran away.
Lin Xiao smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Little girl, even if I catch that little thief, can you beat him or what?" Hehe, the knife is right, these little women, you have to coax and deceive, otherwise, you will be entangled." Well, lying isn't a big deal!"
Lin Xiao, who didn't realize that he had been imperceptibly transformed into more and more 'evil' by a group of 'bad friends', whistled smugly, slowly paced along the circular aisle with his hands behind his back.
He walked past a café, and a beautiful girl at the door of the café was slapping a young man in the face, and after scolding loudly, the girl threw away the bag in her hand, turned around and walked away quickly. The young man stayed for a long time, and then he hurriedly picked up his bag and chased after him with a shout.
Tourists don't seem to see what is happening here, they are still talking and laughing, leisurely browsing through the shops.
Lin Xiao smiled, he looked at the young man's back, and laughed in a low voice: "Alas, let me guess, did he hook up with a beautiful woman outside and was discovered by his girlfriend, or~ is he simply a love with the same surname? Tsk, really, why is the stuff in the minds of those guys so messy? Well, or, this little girl is a lily, and her boyfriend can't accept this fact, so the little girl is angry because of her true love with 'her'?"
Fingers scratched his chin slightly, Lin Xiao squinted his eyes and smiled strangely: "No~ Hurry up and save some money and leave from these bastards!Otherwise, I will be completely ruined by them! Ahhh As he was talking to himself, a second-hand mobile phone pinned to Lin Xiao's belt suddenly rang a strange ringtone, which was the sound of a well-fed pig humming.
His face was slightly red, Lin Xiao hurriedly took out his mobile phone and connected the phone: "Hey, you said that you are not allowed to call my mobile phone when I am at work! This ringtone, how will you tell me to meet people in the future! You bastards, if you don't teach me how to change the ringtone, don't blame me for being too ruthless! I will really strip you and throw you to the Huangpu River!"
"What? There will be dinner again in the evening? How many people are there? Seven or eight people are initially expected, and twenty or thirty people are planned for the long term, as long as I don't pay for it, how many people do you toss?"
"Cheng, isn't it just drinking? I haven't been drunk in Lin Xiao's life, who am I afraid of?"
"However, I guess I'll have to run later today. I've got something going on here, I'm going to have to finish it, right?"
"What's the matter? Alas, it's a trivial matter, I caught a thief here, slapped him in the face and let him go, I'll see if he will wait a while and pull someone to beat me. Am I not ready to be beaten? You see, I am so professional, I have left work, and I have also given the work unit the obligation to solve the hidden dangers of public security in the future. ”
"What? I'm too evil? Pig head~ Who taught me these methods?"
"It's done, no nonsense, I'm at work!"
Closing the phone, Lin Xiao thought about it, simply took out the battery of the phone, then nodded with a smile and continued to stroll around the mall.
Lin Xiao was on duty from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. When the person who had to replace him arrived, Lin Xiao went to the staff locker room of the mall, took a boiling shower, changed into the clothes he usually wore, said hello to a few security guards on duty, and walked out of the mall with a small bag.
In the small bag, there was a little bit of supplies that Lin Xiao brought to the fat man - since Lin Xiao started to work, the fat man who originally went out to buy supplies once every half a month simply curled up in the rented house. Except for calling friends to eat and drink, the fat man didn't bother to go downstairs at all, and all the supplies and the food and beer he usually needed were brought to him every day when Lin Xiao got off work.
This fat man lives a very lazy life, but he is also very pure - it is a very pure, very pure laziness.
And his mentality that the sky has nothing to do with him when the sky falls, Lin Xiao actually feels that this mentality is somewhat similar to his cultivators.
This is a funny fat man, a fat man who gives people a headache but also thinks it is cute.
Shaking the 'small bag' in his hand, which included two towels, twelve toothbrushes, eight toothpaste, four bottles of shampoo, five bottles of shower gel, and twenty-four pairs of underwear, Lin Xiao noticed several malicious glances across the road. With a slight smile, Lin Xiao turned around and entered a small fork in the road next to the mall.
This fork is the gap between the shopping mall and another building, no more than 1.5 meters wide, but more than 200 meters long, the light in the fork is dim, there is a lot of dust, it is a good place to clap bricks and smash stuffy sticks.
The young thief, whose cheeks were still swollen, rushed into the fork in the road with four fierce companions. They had just chased forward two or three steps, and they were stunned to see that Lin Xiao was leaning against the wall for a long time, throwing a wink at them very enthusiastically. "The knife said that when you are in a good mood, you will coax your wife to play, and when you are in a bad mood, you will find the kind of person who is not beaten to play!"
"I'm in a bad mood right now! very bad! very bad!"
"You have to understand! A person was thrown into a big pit from the fairyland, smelling stench, drinking stinky water every day, and even the sunlight is the color of ultraviolet rays, my mood is very aggrieved!"
"What makes me even more aggrieved is that my friends don't know what it's like anymore. Although I believe that they will not be in danger, I still remember them very much! But I am so concerned about them, but I can't find a way to go back! This makes my mood even worse!"
"What annoys me the most is that I, Lin Xiao, have been taught strictly since I was a child, and the people I meet are all upright men and gentlemen. But now I'm going to hang out with a bunch of ruffians, bastards, and scoundrels! What a kind and simple person I was, but I was spoiled by them, and they led me to drink, smoke, beat people, and lie to coax little girls! I watched myself become half a ruffian, can you understand this feeling?"
"Of course, there is one thing that annoys me more than the most annoying thing -- my salary is too low! Although it is that I can eat and drink with those guys now, but how can I, Lin Xiao, owe such a big favor to others? If my storage ring is still there, it is extremely easy to repay them this favor. It's just that I don't have a single grass on my body now, I owe this favor, and I will have a magic barrier in my heart in the future~ Although I have a purple thunder heavenly fire protection body, ordinary magic barriers don't work for me, but I feel uncomfortable in my heart!"
"But if I don't eat and drink with them, how long will I have to save for my little salary to be enough for me to visit famous mountains and rivers and visit high-ranking hermits? ”
Lin Xiao finished the long series of words at a very fast pace, and before the thief and his accomplices could say a word, Lin Xiao had a tiger down the mountain and pounced on them. The army fighting technique learned from the knife was waved out by Lin Xiao lightly, and several young people snorted miserably, and the joints of their arms and legs were twisted and dislocated by him, and they fell to the ground in pain and struggled desperately and convulsed.
Lin Xiao stood beside them, exhaled heavily, and said to himself: "The self-psychological adjustment method they said is really effective~ Although it is a little more violent and less humane, but the Neiva Convention can't control me, right? Compared to the knife they find a woman to comfort themselves, and the bald head he desperately gets drunk to pass the boring time, I beat people, it's still a very healthy exercise!"
Jumping lightly, Lin Xiao laughed a few times at a few young people, and said loudly: "It's not a few steps away from the avenue here, when I leave, you can shout for help, and someone will come to save you soon." However, don't think about telling the police uncle that I beat you, and I won't pay you for medical expenses~"
Turning around, he walked away with a small package, and several young people howled there with sad faces: "You are the uncle, we won't say it to the strip~ You fucking go away~"
Lin Xiao walked out of the fork in the road with a brisk pace, and then, an earth-shattering howl sounded in the fork: "Help~ Kill someone~ Help~"
Gently flicking a little dust on his sleeve, Lin Xiao smiled back and quickly rushed to the bus stop a hundred meters away. He hurriedly took two coins out of his pocket and rushed to a bus that had just entered the station.
Sure enough, they were right. When I can survive in Shanghai with ease, what is the point of that setback in the monastic world?"
"If it comes to people's hearts, people in the cultivation realm, even if they are simple bad people like the Blood God Ancestor, are a hundred times simpler than people's hearts on earth!"
"When I can get used to the people here, what else can I not accept?"
Throwing the coin into the coin box of the bus, Lin Xiao squeezed a few steps into the carriage.
'Smack', a heavy slap slapped Lin Xiao's face. A woman with a waist circumference similar to that of the bald fat man pointed at Lin Xiao and scolded: "Pervert ~ hooligan ~ You deliberately rubbed against your aunt and grandmother, do you want to take advantage of your aunt and grandmother?"
Lin Xiao, who had a numb expression, looked at the woman blankly, and looked at the roof of the carriage with his eyes rolling.
"That's right, they're right, as long as I can adapt to everything strange here, that little thing in the cultivation world is really simple enough. ”
"It's terrible, the recognition on the earth, in just ten or twenty years, their hearts and surnames can grow into more complex and changeable than the thousands of years old old-timers in the cultivation world~ Earthlings, what kind of monsters are they?"
Lin Xiao wandered out of the world, ignoring the woman's accusations against him, he just felt that his state of mind cultivation had greatly improved.
