Papa Paladin

  Chapter 88 Uninvited Guest

"dad."

  When Bao'er woke up from her nap, she opened her eyes and saw Zuo Yi sitting by the bed.

"Ok."

  Zuo Yi put aside the laptop he was playing on, and asked with a smile, "Baby, you're awake."

  The little girl yawned lazily, and stretched out her hands to Zuo Yi: "Daddy hug."

  Zuo Yi smiled and picked her up, put her to sit on the edge of the bed, and asked, "Where do you want to go this afternoon?"

  During this time, Zuo Yi went to the Budokan to instruct Sun Qiang and Wang Jiaojiao in the morning, and stayed with Baoer at home in the afternoon, but in a few days, a large number of new students will come, so I'm afraid it won't be so leisurely by then.

  So cherish the time in front of you.

"Ok…"

  The little girl tilted her head and thought hard, and said, "Dad, I still want to pick wild vegetables."

  Picking wild vegetables is very fun, and the wild vegetables picked are also quite delicious.

   Then let’s do it again.

"Can."

  Zuo Yi reached out and tapped her little nose, and said, "Let's go pick wild vegetables and touch some snails, what do you think?"

   "Touch the snail?"

   Baoer was pleasantly surprised: "Is it a snail in a small river? I have seen it in books."

"almost."

  Zuo Yi explained: "The ones we touched grew in the creek."

  Boa clapped her hands: "Okay, okay."

  Tek crawled out from under the bed barking, and Pippi flew around and shouted, "Touch the snails, touch the snails!"

   Every time we hang out, these two guys are the most excited.

  So Zuo Yi took Bao'er, Tike and Pipi, as well as a bamboo basket, a small bucket and a straw hat.

  These items are all left over from the past. Although the history is quite long, they are still usable.

   Last time when Zuo Yi cleaned up the basement, he cleaned up a lot of garbage, but there were also many things left.

  Even if the things left behind are not worth much.

  Because these things carry countless good memories belonging to the past.

  Now he wants to share with Boa.

   It's still the field trail, and it's still the gurgling stream.

  Zuo Yi and the little girl first collected a basket of fresh and tender wild amaranth, then he rolled up his trouser legs, took off his shoes, and carried a small bucket into the cool stream.

  The afternoon sun shines on the stream, with thousands of golden scales appearing, winding down like an overflowing golden belt.

  Zuo Yi bent down and reached into the water, crushing the golden scales while turning his head to look at the little girl.

  Bo'er didn't dare to go into the water. She was squatting by the stream with Taike, watching her father touch the snails curiously with wide eyes.

  She is wearing an embroidered straw hat.

   This is the straw hat Zuo Qingyun once used.

   Back then, Zuo Qingyun wore a straw hat and rolled up her skirt and squatted by the stream, watching Zuo Yi tossing and turning in the stream with a smile.

  Time flies, the years are gone, the past is only left to recall!

   Staring at Bao'er's innocent face, Zuo Yi smiled slightly, and groped with his hands on the stones in the water.

   Crack Crack!

  He took out the brook snails one by one and threw them into the small bucket, hitting the bottom of the bucket with a crisp sound.

  Bao'er stretched her neck involuntarily, and asked, "Dad, have you caught a lot of snails?"

"Not in a hurry."

  Zuo Yi smiled and said, "Let Dad catch some more and fry them for you at night."

  The stream snails he touched were different from ordinary snails. Their conical shells were black, and they only grew in clean and unpolluted mountain streams. They didn't have any earthy smell, and the taste was much stronger than ordinary snails.

  When Zuo Yi was a child, he found snails in this stream, and then Zuo Qingyun took them home and fried them with perilla for him to eat.

  That smell, he still can't forget it!

   You don’t need to buy perilla, as it grows nearby, and a few handfuls are enough.

  Why Zuo Yi would rather die poor than sell the land, not only because this is the resting place of Zuo Qingyun, but also because there are too many memories of him and his mother.

  Now I want to add the one with the little girl.

  Zuo Yi hopes that when Bao'er grows up in the future, he can come back here at any time to re-experience the happiness and happiness at this time!

   "Look."

  Because I haven't caught it for a long time, there are a lot of snails in this creek. After a while, Zuo Yi caught quite a few, and handed the small bucket to Bao'er to see if it was fresh.

"Wow!"

  The little girl held the bucket with both hands, and looked at the bottom of the bucket full of brook snails, she couldn't help but let out a sound of admiration.

   "Dad is amazing!"

  Wow!

  Tek leaned over with his buttocks upside down, laying his front paws on the mouth of the bucket, stretched his head and looked inside: Wang wanted to see too.

   But it was quickly disappointed: ah, what's so good about this, and there is no steak!

  Zuo Yi continued to touch, and suddenly his expression changed.

  Accompanied by the sound of water, he fished out a slender brook fish and threw it into the bucket.

   "Ah!"

  Bo'er was startled and almost dropped the bucket.

"what!"

  The next moment, she called out: "Dad, you caught a fish!"

  The brook fish was thrashing desperately in the bucket.

  Bao'er was surprised and happy at first, but soon her expression became unhappy, and she said, "Dad, this fish looks so pitiful, let's let it go."

  Zuo Yi smiled and said: "Okay, then let it go."

"Ok!"

  The little girl immediately put her hands into the bucket, trying to catch the brook fish and release it.

  But how can she catch a fish that is alive and kicking.

  Fortunately, Bao'er was very smart. After a few failed attempts, she slowly lowered the bucket so that the mouth of the bucket faced the stream.

  The stream fish in the bucket continued to flop a few times before successfully jumping into the water.

   Run away quickly.

"go Go."

  Bo'er erected the bucket again, and said with a smile: "Fish, fish, don't be caught by daddy again."

  Zuo Yi: "..."

  Okay, let’s continue to touch the snails!

  Snail: I don't know if I should say something or not.

   Almost touched half a barrel, enough for a plate of dinner, before Zuo Yi stopped.

  Back to the shore, he suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the old house.

   Brows are slightly frowned.

  Zuo Yi has just received a spiritual message from a gargoyle, and an unexpected visitor is coming to visit!

  The old house of the Zuo family is located in the leading place outside Linjiang Town. The location is very remote. Usually there are very few visitors. Those who come here by chance are often those curious tourists.

  The gargoyle's intelligence is very high, and it has integrated the spiritual seeds he bestowed, so it is unlikely to make false reports.

   After thinking for a while, he said to Bao'er: "Honey, let's go home."

  Boa has no objection: "Okay."

  Carrying buckets and bamboo baskets, Zuo Yi returned home with Bao'er.

  As soon as he entered the villa through the back door, he heard a knock on the door from the front yard.

  Zuo Yi put the things in the kitchen, and said to Bao'er: "You can play by yourself, Dad, go out and see who is coming."

  See who the unexpected guest is.

  Bo'er is sensible: "Then Artest and I will go upstairs to play."

  Zuo Yi nodded: "Go."

  He came to the front yard from the living room and opened the gate to the yard.

  I saw a young woman standing in front of the door. She looked like she was in her early twenties, with a pretty face and a petite figure. She looked quite pure with a student's hair cut, which made people feel good at first sight.

   And there was a silver-gray coupe parked on the side of the road. A tall and thin man was leaning in front of the car door. He was chewing gum and looked foolish, with a hint of arrogance on his handsome face.

  Zuo Yi didn't know anyone, so he asked, "Who are you looking for?"

  Seeing Zuo Yi, the innocent woman immediately showed a sweet smile: "Hello, are you Mr. Zuo Yi?"

  Zuo Yi nodded: "I am Zuo Yi, are you?"

  The pure woman introduced herself: "Mr. Zuo, hello, I am Qin Qin, the chief secretary of the Super Large City Comprehensive Administration of Jiangnan Province, and this is my business card."

   "Super large city comprehensive management?"

  Zuo Yi was a little confused when he heard the name: "Is it the Urban Management Bureau?"

  He took the business card handed over by the other party, and the name of the unit was clearly printed on it.

"No."

  Qin Qin smiled and said: "It's the Super Management Bureau. We also have another internal name called the Supernatural Affairs Management Bureau!"

"I see."

   Zuo Yi suddenly realized, turned sideways and said, "Then come in and talk about it."

  Qin Qin stepped over the threshold and asked curiously: "Mr. Zuo, have you heard of our super management bureau before?"

  She saw that Zuo Yi didn't look surprised at all, and felt very surprised.

"No."

  Zuo Yi shook his head and said, "But now I know."

  Zuo Yi knew very well that the other party must have come because of what happened last night—isn't Cheng Yuan a superhuman?

  Superior Authority? interesting!

  The second update is here.

PS: After reading some chapters of this book today, I was surprised to find that many readers had doubts about the mobile phone number of the protagonist and thought it was a bug. I have to explain here. Of course it’s still the original one, why the account was not canceled, that’s because the account will not be canceled as long as there is enough balance in the account, the protagonist is a little local tyrant who often goes out to travel, it’s useless for three years and only deducting some monthly rent is afraid Can't afford it? I thought it was common sense, but I didn't expect so many people to misunderstand it, so I had to add an explanation in Chapter 4, sweating.
