Abyss Express

There are still three days until the Lantern Festival.

Xueming rushed back to Bu Liuxing's old house as scheduled, and had to leave before he could speak a few words with Aunt Mei, coming and going in a hurry without stopping for a moment.

the reason is simple--

——Auntie Mei is a wealthy family, and before and after the Spring Festival, the convoys of the mansion can be lined up at the intersection of Chima Avenue.

In addition, Xueming made an appointment with Xiaoqi to go to Shanwei's hometown halfway on the way back home for the festival to meet Bai Zijin's father.

The two are not engaged, nor can they be regarded as serious boyfriend and girlfriend. Xue Ming has no intention of resisting the matter of visiting his uncle. On the contrary, Xiao Qi starts to get nervous. Meeting parents is like an exam. Fortunately, the teacher is blind.

This teacher is talking about her father.

Saying goodbye to Aunt Mei and Meteor, Xueming and Xiaoqi drove to West Kowloon, preparing to take the high-speed train home.

Maybe you want to ask, where did Bai Lu go——

——She is moving bricks and building buildings to exercise at JoeStar, and she can't be idle for a moment.

Xueming hopes that her younger sister can grow up quickly. Hengyin's hometown no longer has anyone she knows well, so it's not home.

Moreover, the situation is different today. Jiang Xueming is not some unknown person, but the speaker of the [Anonymous] school appointed by the BOSS. This leading stick came into his own hands, and the BOSS did not intend to take it back—in the eyes of other passengers, Jiang Xueming It can be regarded as the [big man] in the abyss railway.

If Bai Lu returns to the surface, she will probably encounter much more trouble than underground.

So Xueming left his sister at the station to celebrate the New Year with [JoeRank]'s uncles.

After boarding the return high-speed train, Xue Ming has been on the phone——

——Call the lobby manager to order materials to make weapons and equipment.

——Called Ms. Fenxing to order gas masks and anti-corrosion materials for clothing.

——He called Wen Bucai and asked about his sister's physical and mental health.

——Called my sister and asked if there was something wrong with Uncle Jack.

——Bring Xiaoqi's mobile phone, call the King Hunter, and ask the boss about the properties of the red mountain stone life talisman over and over again.

An hour and a half later, when the high-speed train departed from West Kowloon, Xue Ming didn't say anything to Xiao Qi at all.

Oh no, borrowing the phone counts.

Until he thanked the Hunter King repeatedly, interrupted the communication, took out the cat bell to examine it carefully, took out the wool wheel and electric pen from the tool bag, and started polishing.

Xiao Qi is almost asleep——

——She originally thought that this period of time should belong to the two of them, at least it was a sweet date and sightseeing.

Unexpectedly, the employer is also like a workaholic during the holidays. He never means to take a break. When he has nothing to do, he has to open the reader and stare at "Everything Cracks" and continue to suck.

Not that it's bad—

——Xiao Qi is already a very straightforward and straightforward girl. She doesn't care about her employer's behavior of neglecting others. After all, when he treats people well, he is very, very, very good.

It's just that there is a loss in my heart, a sense of loss.

This sense of loss gradually became stronger, and she was driven by a sense of competitiveness in her heart, wanting to cause some trouble to her employer.

So Bai Qingqing hugged Xue Ming's arm, and suddenly leaned into her employer's ear and whispered.

"If you suddenly sneezed."

Xueming's eyes swept over the characters in the book record, and he replied casually, "That must be what I'm thinking about you."

Xiaoqi was so happy that she couldn't close her legs immediately, and kept turning the pages of the employer's e-book, fearing that the employer would waste too much time on this book, and asked Xueming to read it early.

Xue Ming didn't care, he had already read this part of the content, and there was no obstacle in reading it by suddenly jumping to a few chapters.

Xiaoqi leaned into Xueming's ear: "If you are woken up by your mobile phone in the middle of the night"

Xue Ming: "You must be losing your mind."

Xiaoqi immediately laughed and made the sound of cleaning the glass, and saw Xue Ming raised his hand to wipe the window of the high-speed train, trying to cover up the waiter's embarrassment with the real glass-cleaning movement.

Every time Seventh Brother laughed out a syllable, Xue Ming's fingers followed the rhythm.

So Seventh Brother laughed even happier——

——Before the madness index of the eldest girl exceeded A+, Xue Ming decided to use a kiss attack.

He hugged Xiaoqi's head and put his mouth on her forehead.

Immediately afterwards, she changed from the state of cleaning the glass to the state of "hee hee hee hee".

Xiaoqi knew that this was Xueming asking her to be quiet, and it was inappropriate for others to see her.

But she doesn't care--

— she doesn't care at all.

The phone suddenly lit up, and it was Jason Megan's call.

Xue Ming put down the e-reader, and immediately fingered Xiao Qi, asking Xiao Qi to be quiet.

Immediately afterwards, he answered the call and said seriously.

"Jason?"

"Happy New Year, Jiang Xueming."

"Rare."

"I should say I'm sorry. I've been making up lessons in the air crew a while ago. Later, you asked me to do intelligence work. I never thought about the Spring Festival in China. This time, I wish you a good old age. I hope you don't care too much."

"Thank you, you are happy too."

"I didn't sleep last night, I kept thinking about Red Star Mountain, I hope you don't interfere with this matter. After all, you just pupated, and I have already begun to emerge, and I am about to become a butterfly-I have been stuck in this state for a long, long time .”

"Well, you are better than me."

"No, that's not what I mean. I'm not comparing with you. I'm serious this time. You can go to another place to get a mission, and then come back safely. You and 9527 are a pair of wall people, Chinese Is the idiom called [Zhulianbihe] right? Is that the right way to say it?"

"Um."

"I learned about your past from the Hunter King, I think——you should have a new home soon, and probably in two years, I will be able to teach your children to speak the Dacian dialect, so I thought"

"What are you thinking about?"

"I"

"What do you think?"

"I envy you very much, Jiang Xueming, all these are so beautiful, they cannot be destroyed because of me, because of my own selfish desires."

"It's okay, I'll hang up first."

"Hello! Hello?! Are you listening?"

Xue Ming frowned and glared, shouting into the phone.

"I can't hear you! I can't hear you! It seems that you are saying that you really want Wendy and go to Red Star Mountain, but you have no power!~ You are too weak! Let's go together!"

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Xueming severely cut off the communication, and blocked Jason's phone number by the way.

Xiao Qi came over shaking his head.

"What's the matter?"

Jiang Xueming's expression was flamboyant, startled and frightened: "I have all the materials ready! The semi-finished products have been sent to the construction site! The captain said that the activity is over, is this possible? I wasted so much time and painstakingly researched the myths of Eastern and Western giants, this broken book I read it over and over six times, exactly six times!"

Xiaoqi immediately put her arms around Xueming's neck: "Okay, baby, don't get angry."

Xue Ming was still very aggrieved: "Can he speak like this? He still wants to teach our children to learn the Dacian dialect? Where does he have the face? What's the use of learning that thing?"

Xiao Qi smiled smirking while secretly enjoying himself.

Xue Ming finally returned to normal: "To be serious, I'm quite angry."

Xiaoqi: "Why?"

Xue Ming explained with gestures: "I feel looked down upon, this is the first time, I am very unconvinced - no matter how Jason Megan mocked me, taunted me, and attacked me personally, I would also At most, give him a painless slap in the face."

Xiaoqi: "Which time did you say that?"

Xue Ming: "That time he called me a hot girl."

Xiao Qi: "His face is swollen by you, is it still painful or not?"

Xue Ming: "I have a very high ATK, and being able to cause that attack effect is already enough to keep my strength to the end."

Xiao Qi: "Oh good, you can continue."

Xueming: "But this time, this time I was really angry, I fought with him, and Katyusha repeatedly told him [warriors are not alone] - but he still felt that there was a superstition to rely on, There is an element of self-movement. It seems that as long as he leaves me in a safe place, he is a hero who can carry the whole world on his shoulders."

Xiaoqi: "Twisting people are like this!~"

Xueming: "But."

The voice has not yet fallen——

——The phone lights up again, and Xue Ming answers the call.

Robert Downing said, "Mr. Xueming, Mr. Jason asked me to call."

Xueming replied: "Don't call him, let him write me an apology! Otherwise, you will be blocked together!"

He turned off the phone screen again, and Xiaoqi continued talking.

"I'm going to ruthlessly dispel the superstitions in his heart. This man has a lot of problems. Throwing him into [JoeStar's] kitchen will give me nightmares at night."

Xiao Qi laughed wildly, she knew that her employer was joking, but that serious look was really cute.

Immediately afterwards, the phone lit up, and it was Bai Lu calling.

Xueming: "Hello?"

Bai Lu: "Brother! Uncle Jason Megan wants me to ask you, where is the letter sent? Do you want it written in black and white?"

Xueming: "It's enough if you have the heart."

Bai Lu: "When are you coming back, brother?"

Xueming: "Come back after the Lantern Festival."

Bai Lu: "Do I have to go when I come back?"

Xueming: "Yes."

Bai Lu: "Can I be with you?"

Xue Ming: "You are too weak. If you are strong, please let me hug your thigh."

Bai Lu: "Hey hey hey! Definitely!"

Xueming: "Stop talking, I should get out of the car."

Bai Lu: "Go to sister-in-law's house?"

Xueming glanced at Xiao Qi.

When Xiaoqi heard the name [sister-in-law], she was used to it naturally, and it was not awkward at all. The same is called meteors.

Xueming responded immediately: "Yes, go and see Uncle."

"Then you have to take good care of yourself! Brother, buy some brand-name bags, leather shoes and suits. Then give people cigarettes and wine—I" Bai Lu suddenly slapped her head when she said this: "Ah! I am It's been too long since I've been with you, brother, you know these things better than me, sorry, I'm the one talking too much."

"Take good care of yourself, Bai Lu." Jiang Xueming talked about his schedule for the past few days: "I went to see my uncle, and then I went back to Hengyin to gather with my old friends, and then I will come back immediately."

Bai Lu: "Hmm! Is it Brother Ye Bei?"

Jiang Xueming: "Yes."

Bai Lu: "Say hello to brother Ye Bei for me too. Although I don't know him very well, according to my brother, he is our benefactor."

Jiang Xueming: "Okay."

Didn't say goodbye--

—The call ends here.

The two rented a car in early spring and drove to Taohe Town, Xiaoqi's hometown.

It is far away from the city center. Next to Fuxingtang, there is a Dongsheng foam factory, which is the workplace where Bai Zijin's father worked when he was young.

Xiao Qi grew up in the family building area of ​​the foam factory. When he came back here again, Xiao Qi seemed to be a different person. The Cantonese dialect he used to greet neighbors and folks sounded very unfamiliar. Even the dialect has different slang words , Xueming couldn't understand it at all.

I saw a few women and aunts in the health center of the town basking in the sun, and when they saw Xiao Qi, they immediately yelled.

Xiao Qi answered a few words casually, and finally her face flushed with shame, and her dialect changed to Mandarin.

"No, auntie, no, not pregnant—I'm fat."

Then she took Xue Ming's hand and ran all the way to the old house.

Arriving at the bottom of the old building, next to the row building called Building No. 36 in Taohe Street, in front of the thriving small supermarket in Furong, looking up, the second floor is Xiaoqi's old house.

She raised her finger: "My dad lives here!"

Xueming: "Didn't you move?"

Xiao Qi explained: "He misses the past and doesn't like it. Didn't I earn a lot of money? I told my dad that I want to buy him a big villa, a car, and a lot of amazing things, but he doesn't want it."

Xueming: "Why?"

Xiaoqi thought for a while, thinking whether to explain clearly, clearly.

In the end she confessed—

"——Dad is not a man with big ambitions. He wants to stay here for the rest of his life. The neighbors are all old friends from the foam factory. When he goes to the city center, he wants to make new friends. There are many people in the car, but it is very difficult. He doesn't like being lonely, and I'm often not by his side, so I have my own life."

Xue Ming: "That's why you care so much about your aunt"

The [aunt] here refers to Bai Zijin's biological mother.

Xiaoqi: "Yes, Dad is a very dedicated person. He thinks that being able to know his mother is the luckiest thing in his life. It would be great if he could go from the beginning to the end. But he is very useless. If his mother leaves, he will never stay. .”

Thinking of this, Xiao Qi began to frown and feel aggrieved.

"I'm not like this! Xueming! What I like must be in my hands! Even if it's not mine, I will grab it! This is called absorbing the experience and lessons of the previous generation!"

Xueming: "I can tell."

After finishing speaking, Xue Ming went to the small supermarket.

He went to chat with the boss at the shelf, asked what kind of cigarettes the locals like to smoke, and prepared to bring it to his uncle.

Xiao Qi immediately said, "My father doesn't smoke."

He went to ask about the drinks again.

Xiao Qi immediately said: "My father doesn't drink alcohol."

He finally asked Xiao Qi: "Where's the milk? I can't walk in empty-handed."

Xiaoqi finally said.

"You want to bring him a gift, why don't you bring some Wangzai."

Xueming was surprised: "Wangzai milk?"

"Yes!" Xiaoqi nodded fiercely: "He likes to drink Wangzai milk and sweets very much! Also, he likes guns very much."

Xue Ming was even more surprised: "Huh?"

Xiao Qi quickly said: "Motorcycles and guns, he likes everything boys like, even though he is fifty-five years old this year, he still likes it very much. I bought him a lot of toy guns, and electric motorcycles. , he took me to class on a motorcycle.”

Xue Ming thought for a long time, and brought something from the nearby fruit stand.

Then he went upstairs and knocked on the door--

—But it is very strange.

The brand-new door was unlocked, and it opened by itself with just a few taps.

Seventh brother rushed in the door, shouting all the time.

"Dad! Dad! I'm home! Dad?"

With sharp eyes, Xueming saw that in the refurbished house, there were spiritual tablets and black and white photos on the altar next to the TV.

"Little Seven."

He wasn't quite sure that the elderly man in the photo was Bai Zijin's father.

The tributes in front of the coffin were also rotten and smelly, as if they hadn't been taken care of for a long time.

"Xiaoqi."

Xueming called Bai Zijin, asking her to take a good look at this spiritual position.

"Xiaoqi, you can see clearly."

On the other side, the originally cheerful girl came in and put down her things, and she was looking for her father everywhere. She didn't want to listen to Xue Ming's words, and kept rummaging through boxes and cabinets, her face getting more and more ugly.

Jiang Xueming asked tentatively: "Xiaoqi? This spirit seat"

"Found it!" Bai Zijin pulled out a vigorous uncle from under the bed in the bedroom. "dad!"

"Ouch, I've been caught, I can't fool you!" The uncle was caught by his daughter's ear, smiling, "Go home!"

Bai Zijin: "Yes! Dad! I will take my boy."

She turned the corner immediately in the middle of speaking.

"The male client is brought back!"

The father of the Bai family looked at his daughter.

He looked at Xueming again.

I looked at my daughter again.

"You have money, but you can't make a fool of yourself. Tell me honestly, which club does he belong to?"
