As night falls, Qingchen seems to have become a habit of skipping classes.
Logically speaking, if you skipped class so many times, you should have called your parents a long time ago.
But the key is that his class teacher, Du Yihong, has been asking for leave. From the beginning of the time-travel incident to now, he has not shown his face once, and other teachers will not pay attention to Qingchen.
So, skip classes as soon as you can, don’t hesitate.
After get off work hours, the narrow Administrative Road has become lively, and stalls selling roasted sweet potatoes, watermelons, and cold vegetables have been set up on both sides of the road.
When his mother Zhang Wanfang returned to her parents' home when he was a child, his father would take him out to eat a bowl of rice noodles that cost one yuan and five cents.
At that time, Qingchen felt that his father was too perfunctory, but looking back now, maybe that was the best time in his childhood.
At that time, his father had not yet gambled, his parents had not divorced, and his grandparents did not dislike him.
The rice noodles that cost one dollar and fifty cents at that time are now fifteen dollars, and everything seems to be irreversible.
After he entered Courtyard No. 4, he suddenly found two men squatting on the roadside smoking.
The sky was getting dark, and Qingchen couldn't see the other party's face clearly. Only the red sparks from the cigarette butt were flickering.
Originally, Qingchen thought that this was a mysterious organization that was looking for him, because the other party's expression was not normal and he would look around from time to time.
But later he discovered that the other party didn’t react at all when he passed by.
Qingchen walked into the corridor and smelled the fragrance coming from upstairs. Li Tongyun had been waiting at the door of his house early: "Brother, mom will prepare the meal soon. She asked me to wait for you here. ."
"What if I study in the evening? You don't have to wait for me," Qingchen touched Li Tongyun's little head.
"You haven't been studying at night these past few days," Li Tongyun said, pulling up his sleeves and walking upstairs.
As soon as he opened the door, Qingchen saw that all the broken furniture in the house was gone, and the house had changed from its previous decadent scene, as if many things had been replaced with new ones.
Jiang Xue was busy working in the kitchen wearing an apron. When she heard the door open, she said without looking back: "Is Qingchen here? Come sit down quickly, we are just one soup away."
Qingchen looked at the dining table. Sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried yellow beef, sour beans and minced meat, and spicy and sour potato shreds all looked very good.
Compared with the neither salty nor bland food in Prison No. 18, this is the real improvement of the food.
"Aunt Jiang Xue, what are you celebrating?" Qingchen asked in confusion.
Jiang Xue came out with the soup pot and said with joy: "I told you before that a mechanical limb clinic was opened in the other world."
"Well, I heard you mentioned it, "Qingchen stood up and helped to take the soup pot and put it on the table.
Jiang Xue returned to the kitchen to serve rice and get chopsticks: "I was really worried about this clinic before, because you can't inherit memories when you travel to the past, so people came to ask me to modify the mechanical limbs.Body, I simply don't know what to do. "
Qingchen listened silently.
But Jiang Xue continued: "Those who came to modify the mechanical limbs, all of them looked fierce, and No. 18 Public security in the city is particularly bad at night. It is not safe to walk on the street after 8 o'clock, so I have always been worried. "
This is the reason why Jiang Xue wanted to temporarily entrust Li Tongyun to Qingchen before, because she herself didn't know whether she could come back after time travel.
"But it's good now "Jiang Xue said with a smile: "I don't know what happened, but people from the Li Group suddenly found my small clinic and said they wanted to invest in it. "
"Li..." Qingchen muttered secretly.
"I also told you that in the other world, the consortium is the king, as long as it is an industry in which the consortium has a stake , all those criminals will go around." Jiang Xue sat at the dining table happily: "Not only did they give me a sum of money, but they also replaced me with a holographic neon sign with the Li logo. Now I am here The world would be a much safer place. ”
Qingchen laughed: “With the help of Li’s consortium, we should indeed celebrate.” "
"I don't need to trouble you now, and Xiaoyun's grandparents don't have to leave their hometown." Jiang Xue was very satisfied with the current situation. She even said to Qingchen with a smile: "You were Aren’t you envious of time travellers? If one day you really travel through time, come to City 18 to find me. Aunt Jiang Xue may not be able to do anything else, but she can still protect you. ”
Qingchen sighed in his heart. He was really in City No. 18, but it was a pity that ordinary people couldn’t help him in his situation.
The Qing family’s shadow battle, the inheritance of the knight organization, these two This matter has long gone beyond the scope of ordinary time travellers.
“By the way, Aunt Jiang Xue,” Qingchen asked, “Have those men in black looked for you again before? "
"They didn't look for me, I looked for them," Jiang Xue said: "After I entrusted Xiaoyun to you, I wanted to contact you to see if I could get them in the other world. help. "
Jiang Xue continued: "It's just that they said that the organization has just been established and it is difficult to play any role in the outside world, so they can't help. "
After dinner, Jiang Xue went to wash the dishes, leaving Qingchen and Li Tongyun sitting at the table.
At this moment, Qingchen suddenly asked: "You He is also a time traveler. ”
Li Tongyun blinked and asked, “Brother Qingchen, what are you talking about?” ”
“Last time, you specifically asked about the name of your mother’s clinic. As a result, this time the Li Group bought shares in her clinic and protected it so caringly,” Qingchen said, “You can’t Admit it, but I can also give these clues to your mother. ”
Li Tongyun was instantly frightened: “Don’t tell mom!” ”
Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief, his guess was correct.
Before returning yesterday, he reviewed all his recent memories and discovered aWeirdness.
After Li Tongyun learned that his mother had opened a clinic, his first reaction was not curiosity about the other world. Instead, he asked his mother the name of the clinic. This was obviously a deliberate question.
So, he used a trading opportunity yesterday and asked Li Shutong for the list of members of the Li Group.
The name Li Tongyun does appear in it.
Traveling between two worlds, your name and body are your own, you can’t go wrong with this.
Qingchen asked in a low voice: "Why didn't you tell your mother?"
"Not many people in the world dare to take care of me, but if my mother knew, she would definitely You have to take care of me on both sides," Li Tongyun said cowardly: "Don't tell my mother, I can give you money, I have a lot of pocket money in this world."
Qingchen has no idea. He said hesitantly: "I'm not a time traveler. Why do I need the money over there?"
Li Tongyun was confused when he saw how straightforward he said it: "Aren't you a time traveler?"
"Of course not," Qingchen denied: "Um...how much pocket money do you have in the outside world?"
Li Tongyun was stunned for a moment: "You also want to defraud children of their money! ?"
Qingchen: "..."
