Chapter 17 Gift (Thanks to the leader of Yuxian Qitian)
When I opened my eyes, what I saw was not a strange ceiling.
Instead, the youngest of the Lu family had a snotty smile on his face, grinning, and turned back to shout, "Mom, my second brother is awake, awake!"
The familiar smell of disinfectant wafted through the air, and the corridor was filled with noise.
Ji Jue looked around blankly and found that this was a ward. On the bedside table next to him, the third child was still doing his homework with tears in his eyes and had no time to cry.
Then, I saw Lu Ma’s anxious face, as if she had been up all night without any rest.
Ji Jue tried to recall how he was sent in here, and then he found that his head was aching, not only because of the lack of spiritual essence, but more importantly, because of drinking.
God knows how much he drank last night.
Now recalling that crazy night yesterday, it seems a bit vague, the only thing I remember is that someone at the table patted me on the shoulder and laughed while I was vomiting:
"This Ji Ji is just lame."
"Come on, come one more, I'll teach you how to be a dua~"
"You can still breathe, it's okay, as long as you're not dead you can still drink, come on, show off!"
Coming back to his senses, Ji Jue couldn't help but be stunned.
So the criminals failed to kill him, but instead the security bureau sent him to the hospital?
Is there still justice? Is there still law?
"Ji Jue, tell me the truth."
Mother Lu looked gloomy. She pulled his ear and asked coldly, "What did you do last night? I told you to think it over carefully before you go. The puppy has already told you everything."
"what?!"
Ji Jue was dumbfounded. He looked at Lu Feng, whose face was bruised and swollen and covered with iodine, and tried to be tough: "Uh, well, it seems I drank a little too much. I'll remember it later...hiss, Lu Ma, I was wrong, I was wrong, be gentle, be gentle!"
"How dare you lie!!!"
Mother Lu roared like a lion, deafening, and slapped him directly on the back of the head: "Officer Wen told me everything! That bastard Xiao Gou took you to drink and fight!!
If it wasn't considered a heroic act, I would have gone to the police station today to kowtow and ask them to write a letter of apology! And you're still covering for him!"
"Ah? Oh! It seems to be like that!"
Ji Jue looked at Lu Feng who was making faces and couldn't help wiping his sweat: I thought you knew that Brother Feng was alone in someone else's nightclub yesterday and killed all the criminal organizations.
"Yes, that's right, it was all done by Brother Feng!"
He burst into tears and began to blame others: "I am innocent, Aunt Lu, you can't blame me!"
All the people were killed by Lu Feng, and all the heads were collected by that bastard Lu Feng. At most, I helped to wipe the surveillance records and stepped on the accelerator of the truck twice. Apart from that, the snake that was killed did not seem to be a protected animal.
Rounding off means it’s none of your business!
After all, Lu's mother was soft-hearted, especially towards the "good boy" Ji Jue. She couldn't use the rolling pin, mop stick and broom that she usually used to deal with the "puppy". Even the two slaps on the back of the head were mostly on the base of the neck, and were weak. There was no trace of the fierceness and domineering of crushing a tire with bare hands.
Seeing that Ji Jue knew he could correct his mistakes and promised not to make them again, his attitude softened a lot. After scolding him harshly, he slowly said, "The doctor said that you need to stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation. You stay here honestly these few days and don't go anywhere, understand?"
"Ah?" Ji Jue was dumbfounded: "I'm fine now. Look, I'm alive and kicking. Wait, Aunt Lu, wait a moment."
No matter how much he objects, it is useless. There is a kind of illness in the world called your mother thinks you are sick. Lu's mother is also a mother. When she is stubborn, she is more terrible than her mother. She did not let Ji Jue pay for the hospitalization and examination. Not only that, she also went home to kill a chicken and cook it for Ji Jue to nourish him. As for the 'puppy' next to him who was drooling... the rebellious son only had chicken bones!
“It’s quite lively.”
There was a tall figure leaning against the door, knocking on the ward door with his fingers, looking in with a smile, and seeing the familiar motorcycle jacket and cycling clothes, Ji Jue couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling again.
Wen Wen!
"Excuse me for interrupting you." She said with a smile, "I'll just make up a note. It will be done soon."
Mother Lu held the man's hand and thanked him profusely. After everyone else left, she slowly dragged a chair over, crossed her legs and sat down. Like a magician, she took out a can of beer and handed it over:
"A hangover cure?"
Seeing Ji Jue's face turn pale and he looked like he was about to vomit, she shook her head helplessly, unscrewed the bottle and drank half of it herself, burped and said with emotion: "Little Ji, your alcohol tolerance is not very good, you still need to practice."
You need to practice, otherwise who can compare to you, this wine jar spirit?
Ji Jue was secretly complaining in his heart, observing his expression, and tentatively greeted him: "Wen...Manager?"
"Why are you being so polite? It's not convenient to make the position of the Security Bureau public. Just call me Sister Wen. There are no so many rules."
Wen Wen leaned back in her chair and waved her hand nonchalantly: "Don't worry, I know what young people like you are worried about. The on-site report and investigation have already come out, and you two have nothing to do with it. The Security Bureau has taken care of it, you two brothers should just pretend that nothing happened and live your lives in peace."
"Oh, thank you so much!"
Ji Jue was overjoyed when he heard that, and he wanted to get up and kowtow to his elder sister. His elder sister was broad-minded and would definitely not care about his little complaint just now.
only……
After hesitating for a long time, he couldn't help but ask, "Um, that is, those people...what's going on? Are they vampires or..."
"Hemiciritis, in a hospital, um, in a certain hospital, it's a plague virus ranked 109th in terms of social threat. Well, if I tell you about the Nine Good and Evils right now, you'll definitely be confused, so just think of it as an infectious disease of zombies and vampires."
Wen Wen said calmly: "Someone is secretly spreading this virus in Yacheng to cause trouble. The people who attack you are basically infected with it.
Most people will go to the doctor when they are sick, some will hide in fear, and some... will think that this is a blessing from God and even want to use it to do something. You have seen the result. They have become beasts, ugly and unaware. When they are alive, they are puppets of others. After death, they don’t even have a complete body, but become sacrifices. "
Ji Jue swallowed and felt goosebumps all over.
Not to mention why such a weird thing is only ranked 109th, and whether there are 108 more weird things before it, the fact that the blood thirst disease was spread artificially in Yacheng is enough to make him want to urge Lu Ma and the others to move away immediately.
"Don't worry, just wait for your discharge from the hospital peacefully, go to school and work, and live your life as usual."
Wen Wen grinned and smiled: "Although the progress of the investigation cannot be disclosed to the public, the bastards of the Dragon Festival Society can't hide for long. In the next few days, I will grind the bastards to dust."
At this point, her smile became meaningful: "Of course, if you are worried and want to participate in it yourself, I don't mind."
"No, no, no, you're such a loser! You're powerless and your participation will only cost the Security Bureau money. I won't bother you anymore." Ji Jue shook his head frantically, like a rattle.
"Really? That's a shame."
Although she said it was a pity, Wen Wen actually didn't seem to care. She didn't even delve into the abilities and weirdness he displayed last night. She just patted him on the shoulder.
"Since you are sick, take a good rest... By the way, this is for you, just keep it as a souvenir."
As she spoke, she took out a sealed bag from her pocket and casually threw it on the head of Ji Jue's bed. There was a crisp click, which made Ji Jue's eyelids twitch.
He took a look, was stunned, rubbed his eyes, and looked again, but no matter how he looked, it seemed that the transparent sealed bag contained a ladies' watch.
Moreover, it seems, as if, as if, maybe it is... the 'Red Wing' that Zhu Hong wore on her wrist last night?
Five million one hundred thousand?!
The moment this transaction number appeared in his mind, Ji Jue felt like he had received an electric shock, and his ears were buzzing: "Is this, this, this...appropriate?"
He looked at Wen Wen dully, and began to wonder if this woman would covet his beauty? Or was he mentally ill?
But this is 5.1 million...
That much money! Enough for a hundred Ji Jues to grow up from orphans, enough for seven Ji Jues to pay off the student loans of Tianmen University in one go, enough for one Ji Jue to sell it and buy a large sea view flat in the city, and buy a Mustang that he used to only clean. No, not a car, use the money to buy a storefront to rent out, and he can become a noble upper-class person in the city.
Then...is it too late for me to bow down and pledge my love to you, and work like a slave for you?
He was silent, his eyes felt glued to the spot for a long time, and he just wanted to slap himself twice, retract his gaze, and wave his hand, "I can't accept this, really."
Take it away now, I will really regret it.
do not talk.
Wen Wen was not surprised by this, nor did she care.
This was the 'custom' and 'filial gift' given up by the police after they cleaned up the scene. Of course, there was more than just this little bit, and they even gave a lot away. They hoped that she would show mercy and not implicate too many people.
I don't know what kind of murderer the outside world has spread about her, but she doesn't intend to let go of any chicken that deserves to be killed. As for the monkeys who are not involved in this matter, if they can learn their lesson, she will naturally not kill other people's families again.
Don’t touch what you shouldn’t touch. It’s best if you can learn this principle.
"Relax, if you don't want it, those losers will sell it for money anyway, so it's better to give it to you.
Just think of it as... compensation to the victim. Besides, didn't you also bravely fight against evil forces?"
Wen Wen patted his shoulder and smiled strangely: "Especially that famous quote, it's really thought-provoking. My colleagues all expressed their admiration after hearing it."
"Stop it, please, stop it."
Ji Jue just wanted to hold his head with both hands, dig a hole through the bed and crawl down, preferably into the center of the earth, and scream in despair: "I was possessed, that wasn't me, really! I'm not usually a middle school student!"
"It doesn't matter whether it's chuunibyou or not, but I really like what you said."
Wen Wen's expression gradually became serious, "Ji Jue - these days, it is very rare to find someone who can awaken on their own without the help of secret rituals and be chosen by heaven, and there are even fewer people like you.
But apart from you, I have seen too many Chosen Ones who are arrogant. "
“Some people are full of energy and feel that they are powerful and omnipotent at first, but after suffering setbacks, they gradually become radicalized, and finally say that they have no choice, that they are doing it for the sake of others, everyone, and the future, and then they walk into a dark and dead end.
There are also people who rush towards death from the very beginning. They live a good life themselves, but they don't allow others to live.
In the end, it will hurt others and yourself, and the disasters will be endless..."
Wen Wen told him word by word: "So, they are all dead."
"..."
Ji Jue hesitated to speak and wanted to ask some detailed questions, but looking at her calm and almost indifferent expression, it seemed that many questions seemed to have answers.
No need to ask again.
"Don't forget what you said, Ji Jue, and don't rely on your abilities to do bad things."
Wen Wen raised her hand, shook her exquisite fist at him, and told him: "Don't be like them."
In silence, Ji Jue looked at her fair palm, slender fingers, and the "little fist" that seemed to have no killing power at all, and swallowed dryly.
Nodding like crazy, as obedient as a chicken.
"Very good, then my trip won't be in vain."
Wen Wen pushed the chair away and waved goodbye to him: "Goodbye, classmate Ji Jue, I hope you can become someone who can make a difference."
Ji Jue subconsciously wanted to get up and see her off, but after hearing her last words, he froze in his place, nodded seriously, and told her: "I will."
So Wen Wen started laughing.
Turn around and leave.
For a moment, Ji Jue was the only one left in the empty ward, and there was a ticking sound coming from the table.
In the sealed bag, the gifts, which had already been cleaned and packed neatly by someone, were still moving slowly and smoothly as usual.
Waiting for the mercy and care of the new owner.
But when Ji Jue held it in his hand, he couldn't help but start to have a headache despite his joy.
More than five million! More than five million!
He had never seen so much money in his life. Now, as long as he put it in his pocket and went to the black market, he could have everything... Well, it was impossible for him to have it. Without the purchase records and the matching packaging, he would definitely be ripped off by the middlemen. It would be a blessing if he could sell it for one-third of the money.
If you are not careful, you might not only not get to eat the meat but also be targeted by thieves, which will cause endless trouble.
You wouldn't keep it for yourself, would you?
Wait, I already have one, if I wear another one, won’t my cousin be jealous? Besides, I’m such a poor jerk, even if I wear one, people will think it’s a knockoff and no one will take it seriously.
Wait… maybe this isn’t so bad?
He subconsciously raised his head and looked outside the door, in the direction where the heavy footsteps came from.
A burly woman was walking towards the ward, carrying a full thermos in one hand and a large bag of snacks and supplements in the other.
Even though she had a bandage on her head, she always had a smile on her face, as if no hardship could defeat her.
"Mother Lu?"
Ji Jue also laughed and raised his hand: "Brother Feng and I saved up money to buy you a small gift... Oh, it's not worth the money. Look, it's fancy and very cheap. Just wear it. Try it on."
"Okay, you finally know how to please me?"
Mother Lu put the things down, pinched Ji Jue's face unhappily, and took it casually, "Don't think that you'll be alright if you act nice, you still have to stay in the hospital... Don't always mess around with these things, it's a waste of money."
He was still mumbling to himself, but when he put his hand on his wrist to gesture, he couldn't help but smile.
He put it on the most slender part of his sturdy wrist. After moving it around for a few times, he felt that such a delicate thing didn't suit him. "Do you think it fits?"
"Of course it fits."
Ji Jue leaned on the bed, looking at her smiling face and happy appearance.
"More suitable than anyone else."
Ahhhh, writer's block. Seeing the few drafts I have in reserve rapidly decreasing, I can't write a single word. I have the urge to grab some dog food from Duoduo. Updating is so scary, wu ...
