"Please let me guard the island. I was born on that island. I can hold my breath for one minute since I was three years old. I am very good at guarding the island..."
"Mom and Dad said that this island is very important. It will definitely become a mainland in the future. As long as our He family is still there, we must guard this island. Please let me guard this island..."
I closed my eyes and felt so painful that I couldn't breathe. It took me a long time to recover.
"You...go...be careful. If anything happens, just call this number."
The girl said: "The salary..."
I said loudly: "Give me your mother's card number. Tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon..."
I put down the red phone and sat down on the chair, my mind went blank.
I don’t know this girl named He Xin, nor their parents, but I know a spirit.
Fangzhou’s spirit!
The next day when I took over my shift, I told Ge Li about this behind the back of the surveillance camera.
Ge Li was very calm, as if he had heard this kind of thing so much that he was numb.
Fangzhou not only has island guards, but also mountain guards, library guards, forest guards, night watchmen, tomb guards, and others I don’t know about.
The problem I was most worried about about girls going to work, Ge Li made me feel relieved with just one word.
The succession system is an unwritten custom in Fangzhou.
Then I asked about salary.
Ge Li said nothing.
When I asked, Ge Li impatiently said one word!
"boil!"
After coming out of the second hospital, he pushed his bicycle and ran out of the gate quickly. He found the nearest bank and transferred two thousand yuan to He Xin's mother's card.
When the teller was about to withdraw money, I stopped him and stuffed another thousand yuan in.
The teller was very unhappy. He rolled his eyes at me several times, cursed me, finished the business, and then asked me to throw out the receipt.
Now I only have a few dollars left in my hand, but I have no regrets.
This little money is nothing to me.
But for He Xin, this money represents fire, inheritance and hope! .
In just ten days, I got to know Fangzhou initially, and I integrated into Fangzhou subtly, unconsciously, and involuntarily.
It's just that I didn't even notice it myself.
After the holiday, Yandu was not like other tourist cities that were left with nothing but chicken feathers. Instead, she transformed from a young and immature new daughter-in-law overnight into a charming woman with all kinds of charms.
The red leaves of Xiangshan dyed half of the frost forest red, the sycamore trees on the Long Beach began to shed yellow leaves, and the annual golden flutter of ginkgo trees in the Summer Palace also arrived as scheduled.
Finally, I no longer prepare for war and my life is back on track.
Tu Laoliang walked into Fangzhou's warehouse with his head filled with hatred and resentment, and then walked away under his disdainful and vigilant eyes.
Ever since the bald Lao Liang was punished by me for leaking the secret, the old guy had an inexplicable fear of me.
Although you hate me again, you only dare to show it superficially.
The daily jokes still call me a stupid brat, but they no longer touch my bottom line!
The desks and chairs in Fangzhou's warehouse are about the same age as me, and they are bulky and heavy. No wonder Ma Zhongchao didn't use the warehouse.
Even the rag collectors dislike these firewood.
The safe was nowhere to be found, so two heavy iron cabinets were barely usable.
The only good thing I found in the warehouse was an old wall clock from the 1930s.
The old wall clock was hidden very deep. When I pulled it out, Bald Laoliang, who was staring at me like a thief, was really surprised.
He took out the old wall clock and placed it outside the back room, wiping away the thick dust. The brilliant yellow pendulum glowed with the most brilliant golden color, blinding half of Bald Laoliang's one eye.
This thing...
very nice!
The moment I squinted and saw the wall clock sign, I was a little surprised that such a high-end product was hidden in the warehouse next door.
This is a gold-plated wall clock from the Hemmler family of the Hans Kingdom. It looks like a small house as a whole. It is made of the best European black walnut at the time. The dial, pendulum, decorations, and hands are all gold-plated.
In the Republic of China, it would definitely be a symbol of status and wealth.
Tu Laoliang looked at the clean wall clock and started a stand-up comedy again.
"This clock is older than me, and the inside has long been rusted into iron slag. It can be used as a decoration in your office."
Then I actually slapped him in the face.
When he opened the wall clock in front of Tu Laoliang, the shining copper inside made Tu Laoliang shut up instantly.
Soon after, Tu Laoliang saw that I had been tinkering for a long time without making any move, and he started to feel itchy and mouthbroken again.
"Come on. This thing has been broken for I don't know how many years. Don't mess around with it."
Then, I took two minutes and slapped him again.
After taking off the pendulum, after a while of poking and buckling, the hands of the wall clock magically started to rotate.
Bald Laoliang immediately turned his head away in embarrassment.
Within half a minute, the hands stopped spinning, and Tu Laoliang suddenly became energetic and started shouting loudly.
"The iron spring is definitely broken. This spring is not easy to fix. It turns out that Haiye has one at home, and I tried many people but couldn't fix it."
"Don't bother. I bet if someone fixes this thing, I'll be riding my bicycle home upside down."
Next, Tu Laoliang witnessed a miracle.
In front of him, he took off the dial, took off the hands, turned it over and dug out the movement.
First, press the ratchet, turn the hook, grab the clockwork key and slowly release the clockwork chain.
After unscrewing the screws of the pressure plate, he turned his head to one side without looking at the movement. In the blink of an eye, there was a pile of scattered gears on the ground.
Take your time and clean the gear, then quickly reset it with tweezers. Up the platen, up the hands, up the pendulum. Turn the clockwork.
The melodious clang sounded, and Bald Laoliang was stunned on the spot, his soybean-sized eyes bulging and bulging, his shiny head clasped with both hands, and he went crazy.
"Hey, let me tell you, that thing of yours has been repaired. Is it on time?"
I pointed in the air without looking back. Tu Laoliang looked around and saw only the surveillance camera facing him.
"What does this guy mean?"
After scratching his head and thinking for a while, Tu Laoliang suddenly slapped his thigh: "You brat, tell me to stand on my head and ride my bicycle home."
"Fuckin' tricked again."
"I'll strangle you!"
After half a morning's work, a lot of old furniture was added to the empty office, and with the addition of old wall clocks, it finally looked like an office.
Gao Suier's mouth was just right, and I finished flipping through the newspaper Tu Laoliang had just thrown in.
I looked up and saw that it was only ten fifty, which was still early before get off work. I opened my backpack and took out the crappy compass.
This thing is a bit evil. I tried to dismantle him several times, but was interrupted and delayed.
Today, you can give it a try.
Fresh newspapers were just laid out on the table, and the moment I picked up the tweezers, a burst of laughter interrupted my actions again.
"This way, please, this way..."
