Abyss Express

Chapter 20 Debt

After personally experiencing that underground adventure——Jiang Xueming got a long and leisurely vacation.

This cold and slender man was no longer seen in the lo-mei shop at the entrance of the Hung Hom subway.

His store manager had called him more than a dozen reminder calls, but all of them were stopped by the anti-harassment mode of the mobile phone.

Even now, he doesn't intend to go back and pick up the job he once relied on for a living.

The numbers on the bank card are like a series of pleasant spells, which gradually dissipate the sadness on people's faces on this day.

[Transfer: 3000000]

[Transfer party: Paramount Entertainment Media Co., Ltd.]

[Transfer Remarks: Happy Holidays]

[Balance: 7751550.79]

There is still a surplus of 7 million in the account, which makes him both at ease and flustered.

The reason for the peace of mind is that this amount of money can allow the two siblings to spend most of their lives in peace in any small city.

The reason for his panic was that he didn't understand the secret code behind the BOSS's big shots. Including the phrase "Happy Holidays" also made him feel that there was something in the words.

Back then on the train, Xue Ming talked to the BOSS directly about this matter.

Originally, it was for the important matter of his sister's life that he took this train bound for an unknown destination with the thought of being a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Now that Jiang Bailu is in good health and his family has no worries about food and clothing, he can't think of any reason for him to end this period of [holiday] specially approved by the station.

After he received the money transfer message at the hospital, he took his younger sister Jiang Bailu back to the new house.

Since Xue Ming had lost his job, the two siblings started staring at each other when they got home, with nothing to do. It was just Brother Qi who followed, wandering around the house.

Indeed—wandering is the most accurate word to describe it.

She is not as quiet as the two brothers and sisters, she looks familiar. He didn't change his shoes after entering the door, and Xue Ming didn't prepare slippers for Seventh Brother.

She was barefoot, pacing repeatedly in the living room and bedroom, unable to relax at all, as if she had received professional training in manners, her steps were very steady-and she put on the red dress.

In summer, the temperature in the house seemed to be dropped several degrees by this "female ghost" floating around.

Bai Lu bit her finger, looking bored. She looked at her brother.

My brother is thinking about something, so don't bother me.

She looked at the strange little sister Qi again.

Sister Xiaoqi would be in a daze at the bed in the bedroom for a while, and smirk at the paperweight on the desk for a while.

Under the paperweight is a photo of brother Xueming when he was a child, which is very cute, but sister Xiaoqi's expression is also quite scary.

——It's the same as when Bai Lu heard stories when she was a child, she said that the old woman who ate children and cats was evil.

She didn't dare to ask, but just sat obediently beside Xueming, waiting for Brother Xueming to finish thinking about things.

When the sky darkened, it was time for dinner.

Jiang Xueming just got up and was going to prepare dinner.

Seventh brother was already standing at the door of the refrigerator, she said with a smile like a hostess.

"Cooking? I'll help!"

Jiang Xueming didn't speak, but looked at Xiaoqi suspiciously.

Originally, the intention of letting Xiao Qi in was just his last bit of decency, he thought—at least this woman helped him at the station.

But now, Seventh Brother seems to be planning to live at home permanently.

There are only two beds in the room, and there is no room for Seventh Brother to sleep.

Let Bai Lu and Seventh Brother sleep together, no matter how you say Xue Ming is not at ease.

After all, this woman once made half-true jokes about poisoning and kidnapping with Bu Liuxing in front of him - it was difficult for him to understand the rules of action of these fun people with his way of thinking.

God knows what Seventh Brother will do in this family.

However, he is not such an unreasonable guy.

In just a few seconds, Xue Ming's eyes changed from being serious and vigilant to putting down his guard.

"good."

Xiaoqi: "What do you want to take?"

Jiang Xueming: "Thousands of bean curds, kale, pork bones and six corns, thank you."

Xiao Qi followed suit and followed the kitchen swiftly.

Jiang Xueming put on an apron and wiped the knife repeatedly.

He saw Xiaoqi throwing the ingredients on the kitchen counter again, with her arms outstretched, as if waiting for her lover to tie her apron, full of anticipation, "I'm ready! I'm ready! Help me put it on!"

He really wanted to throw another clean apron directly in Seventh Brother's face, but he held back.

He handed over the apron respectfully.

"Xiaoqi, you can wear it yourself."

"Well..." Seventh Brother started to feel wronged when he heard the cold words, seeing the corners of his mouth curled down, he looked unhappy.

At this moment, Jiang Bailu appeared, and she smoothed things over for this incomprehensible older brother, and helped Xiaoqi tie the apron on without any hassle.

"Don't mind! My brother has always been like this and he is allergic."

"Bailu." Jiang Xueming didn't want his sister to have anything to do with these underground guests, this meal was a farewell drink, "You go out and wait."

"Okay." Jiang Bailu furtively made a face at his brother.

Xue Ming took the kitchen door behind him, prepared the ingredients, deboned the pork bones, chopped up the corn, boiled the soup over high heat, washed the rice and cooked the rice.

He had to ask, "What's the next plan?"

Xiaoqi watched from the side, helping Xueming wash the vegetables.

"It's nothing, I just want to spend time with you."

Jiang Xueming then asked, "Don't you need to work?"

Xiao Qiyi soaked his hands in water, drained the vegetables, and dropped the unwanted leftovers into the trash can: "There are very few new customers at the station. My leader knows what I'm doing, so he approved my leave."

The minced meat on the bones was divided into two parts, one lean and the other fat, and put it on the other side of the cutting board. Jiang Xueming then asked, "And then? Stay at my house? Are you going to leave?"

"Is it okay?!" Xiao Qi's eyes lit up, and his heart became flustered, throwing both good and bad dishes into the trash can.

Before the picked vegetable stalks fell to the ground, Jiang Xueming grabbed them firmly and carried them back into the dustpan.

Xueming said succinctly: "No. I have no plans to share the rent."

"Are you afraid that I will bring the bad things from the ground to your house?" Xiao Qi's expression changed, she glanced at the door behind her, "Are you afraid that I will harm your sister?"

The hot oil falls into the bottom of the pot, and the fat meat is cooked with the ginger and spring onion base to make it delicious.

Xue Ming turned the spatula, waited for the oil residue to turn golden brown, and then put the lean meat and the thousand pieces of skin together.

The sound of the crackling pan and the roar of the range hood covered the voice of the two of them.

Jiang Bailu hid outside the door, with her ears pressed against the door, unable to hear anything.

Disappointed, she slipped back to the sofa and began rubbing her phone glass with her head down, wondering when her brother would bring back a beautiful and rich sister-in-law.

Only at this time did Jiang Xueming answer.

"You might as well ask me what I plan to do next."

Xiaoqi finished her busy work and had nothing to do at hand. She stared blankly at Xueming's side and asked, "Then what are your plans for next?"

"Please finish this meal."

"Then what?"

"Then you drive home and I'm going to move and change places."

"Then what?"

"Change the environment, preferably near Bailu School, and settle her down."

"Well, I can take her to school."

"You don't need to pick her up. I'm free now. I can see her off in person."

Xiaoqi: "Let's send it together!"

Jiang Xueming ignored this sentence, and continued to say——

"—I want to go back to my hometown."

"Do you want me to go back to meet the parents together? I'm good at it!" Xiaoqi said enthusiastically, "Then what, what type do the elders like? The purer ones or the gaudy ones? I heard A Xing say that your family In the countryside, it is a traditional family, do you want something to pad your buttocks? It looks so good."

Jiang Xueming covered his face, and suddenly felt that it was a bit impossible to talk this day: "When you said this, it was like a rented girlfriend who went home for the New Year. Can we have a sense of distance?"

"Sense of distance?" Xiao Qi smacked her lips, pondered for a while, and then hid in the shower, "Is that what you mean?"

"No." Jiang Xueming felt powerless, "I mean, we've only known each other for a few days, aren't we very familiar?"

Xiao Qiyi turned her head and came back again, the girl rubbed her temples, a bit confused about what Xue Ming said.

After such an explanation, she remembered what Sister Yangchun said to her, don't be too impatient to find a man, and finally understood.

Jiang Xueming explained his upcoming itinerary, "I want to go back to my hometown, specifically, to pay off my debts."

Xiao Qi also began to worry about Xue Ming: "What debt do you owe? Have you borrowed money before? Usury?"

Jiang Xueming shook his head, and fished thousands of pieces of shredded pork out of the pot: "It's not usury, it's a bit tricky. My parents were going to sell Bai Lu for a bride price, but I ran out with her—like a missing person notice and a gangster's warrant. They said that they would break the legs of Bai Lu and me, and we would never be able to run again."

Pass the plate to Seventh Brother.

Xueming continued to make vegetables.

"It's this bone debt that I owe, and now I'm going to settle it."

"Oh." Seventh Brother sniffed the aroma of the dishes, but didn't react for a while, and asked again: "It sounds really tricky."

"Don't worry." Jiang Xueming finished talking about the itinerary, and then mentioned the specific reasons: "Bailu still has many places to go, and I will definitely take care of this matter."

Xiaoqi kindly reminded: "Xueming! Speaking of this! There is one more thing I want to remind you!"

Jiang Xueming: "I would like to hear the details."

Seeing that the vegetables were about to come out of the pot, Xiao Qi prepared another plate early.

She went on to say: "You are a passenger in the underground world. When you board the train, you are already inseparable from the underground world."

Jiang Xueming's eyes changed dramatically.

"What's the meaning?"

"If you plan to act alone, you'd better bring something that can defend yourself." Xiao Qi continued, speaking very slowly, for fear that Jiang Xueming would miss it: "Because you and I are originally people with extraordinary [inspiration]——

——Back to the mortal world from the underground, this place is not controlled by BOSS, and there are not so comprehensive armed personnel to protect you. "

Jiang Xueming quickly asked, "Will I be in danger?"

Xiaoqi thinks carefully: "Because your [inspiration] is outstanding, on the one hand, you will be involved in strange incidents, and on the other hand, you have done things for the station."

"Talk about things one by one, in more detail." Jiang Xueming finished the rest of the kitchen work, took Xiao Qi's arm and went back to the living room.

When they arrived at the dinner table, Xiao Qi's eyes met, he glanced at Bai Lu, and pouted at Jiang Xueming.

Jiang Xueming served the two girls a meal: "It's okay, don't shy away from it."

"I mentioned it to you just now. One of the things is related to the [inspiration] of the passengers in the underground station." Holding the bowl and chopsticks, Xiao Qi patiently explained: "When we were young, there would be more or less a period of time, I once opened [inspiration]—all kinds of urban legends, including the ghost of A Piao! Including any supernatural powers, it may actually exist.”

At the dinner table, Jiang Xueming was not idle either. He turned on his mobile phone to enter the working state and began to write notes.

Xiao Qi continued.

"As we get older, the frequency of our brain waves changes, our hearing deteriorates, and there are many things that we can't see—in metaphysical terms it's called [hell].

Mr. Xueming, one of the things is that you may see some strange [spiritual bodies] in the mortal world—including the ticket we issued to you before, which is also something that can only be seen if the [inspiration] exceeds the pass line. "

Jiang Xueming: "Will it be dangerous?"

Xiao Qi explained: "There will definitely be. If you deliberately stare at passers-by in the street with unworthy eyes, they will come up and give you a bad mouth, let alone a spirit body?"

Jiang Xueming probably understood the meaning here.

As long as the passengers who have been to the Nine Realms Station, when they return to the ordinary world, they basically say goodbye to normal life.

——In the future, when I go downstairs to buy vegetables, I have to worry about whether the vegetable seller who sells chicken legs is a real person.

"As for the second thing." Xiao Qi said while eating food in his mouth: "In the history of the station, there are also passengers like you who are only willing to take a bus and do a job once——

——After the BOSS pays the reward, these people also want to return to the mortal world and live the lives of ordinary people like you.

But among the other old passengers, there are a very small number of stupid and bad people. Will return to the mortal world and try to loot or kill these new passengers. "

"Why?" Jiang Xueming couldn't understand: "The reward given by the BOSS is very generous, they should not be short of money. Could it be a panacea?"

He finally remembered that the BOSS delivered the panacea to him in front of everyone in the Council of Five Kings. This detail made him sweat all over.

"The card of the polarizing sextant is designed in braille to prevent peeping, just to prevent these ghosts. The security check equipment for newcomers is set up separately on the second floor, also to protect newcomers - if you let others know your identity Which level does the mental state and combat skills belong to, these rats will have evil thoughts." Xiaoqi added: "Not only is the panacea, but more importantly, your passenger logs, you know, the BOSS is willing to pay for these logs The remuneration shows how important the information inside is."

Jiang Xueming frowned and said nothing.

Xiao Qi shook his chopsticks, his eyes sharp.

"We call these notorious insiders who killed passengers armadillo hunters, because armadillos and humans have only one characteristic in common-both carry the leprosy bacteria, which everyone hates.

Some of them may have finally embarked on this evil path for the panacea, but there are also many disaster stars who are purely killing people for fun.

They search for you in the mundane world, catch you, threaten you with your relatives and friends, and will try their best to dig out all the information you know, then kill you, use your information, and go to the underground world for profit.

BOSS also said that it will not let anyone with a mental state go back to the mortal world, but there will always be fish who slip through the net who are good at disguising. BOSS assigns a separate waiter to each passenger, just to prevent passengers from Accidents happen in the mundane world. "

Jiang Xueming asked: "Do you know how to deal with these people? Seventh brother? You said. The waiters assigned to us by BOSS are all insurance arrangements for newcomers?"

Xiao Qi smiled: "What did you call me just now?"

"Brother Seven, oh no." Jiang Xueming changed his words: "Xiao Qi."

After eating, Xiaoqi put the bowls and chopsticks back on the table neatly, not a single grain of rice wasted.

She produced a summons bell from under the bodice of her gown.

"At first, I thought, if you don't go back to the underground, it's useless to the boss. I will see you for the last time. Sister Yangchun and I have agreed that she will arrange another passenger for me next month. Anyway, the boss I will also arrange other armed personnel to come to your side to protect you, just think about it, but I’m sure I can’t beat you, our waiters have very strict entrance exams——

——But if you are so out of touch, I don't think it's convenient, and you don't have to force it. Isn't the twisted melon sweet, let's go first! ~ If you need me for anything, just ring the bell, and I will be there as soon as I hear the bell. "

"Wait. Wait a minute, friend!" Jiang Xueming called Xiao Qi: "Let's talk about what happened before?!"

Xiaoqi asked: "What matter?"

Jiang Xueming worked hard and smiled.

"About what you should wear when you go home to your parents."

Jiang Bailu listened for a long time, but did not understand the encrypted calls of his brothers and sisters.

He only understood the last sentence, and thought in his heart that his brother had indeed found a partner.

"Great!"
