At noon, Qin Jiandan ate some of his sister's steamed buns and went to the Servant Club before dinner in the cafeteria.
The maids took good care of Aku. They couldn't afford the 500 yuan hamsters in the inner city, so they used Aku as a substitute.
"Try this! This is called cheese. Don't call it "cheese", otherwise the president will get mad! "
"Oh, Young Master is here! Hello, Young Master, we did not abuse Aku, we had a great time chatting with her!"
The little dwarf rat man was surrounded by the maids on a soft cushion in the center of a round table, holding cheese and other snacks in his little paws.
Are you really "chatting" with Aku? It's obviously "feeding", okay? Aku's mouth has been blocked by you and he can't speak!
"Shao Zhu..." Aku wanted to say "Young Master" but couldn't speak clearly because there was something in her mouth. Qin Jiandan waved her hand and asked her to finish the food first.
"Uh-huh!"
Aku nodded vigorously. If you look carefully, you will find that there are tears in Aku's smile. Although she thinks these things are delicious, her parents and tribesmen can no longer eat them.
Qin Jiandan noticed that Aku had replaced his tattered labor protection shoes with a pair of cloth shoes that fit better.
The rags that Aku was originally wearing were replaced by a slanted buttoned garment. However, the buttons were completely decorative and were closer to a pullover dress in nature.
The cloth shoes and dress are exquisite and small. If they were not completely black, they would be like the clothes a little girl would wear to pay New Year greetings.
"This is..." Aku said loudly after swallowing the food in his mouth, "These are new clothes and shoes that Aunt He made for me by herself. My sisters also gave me a lot of delicious food. The Yelong Club is really Very good!"
The maids giggled, and Qin Jiandan thought they were more curious because "rats can talk".
Aunt He lost all her family members in the war. She probably heard about Aku's experience from Vale, and felt that Aku was also miserable, so she sympathized with him.
He happened to see Aunt He passing by, probably going to the cafeteria. Qin Jiandan stopped Aunt He and asked in a low voice:
"Why don't you use red fabric for such a good outfit? Aren't red and black as cheap?"
Most of the dyes in the outer city are extracted from phlogiston ash waste, and red and black colors without other additives are the cheapest.
Aunt He snorted:
"Aku's name is a big omen, and she refused to change it. The five elements of the word "ku" lack water, and black is water, so I wear black clothes and black shoes! "
Qin Jiandan noticed that Aunt He's left thumb was wrapped with a biochemical bandage. It might have been accidentally pricked by a needle.
"That's it." Qin Jiandan nodded pretendingly, and then gave a thumbs up:
"Aunt He is actually as familiar with the Five Elements and Bagua as my master, and knows how to transfer flowers and trees to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune! Amazing, really amazing!"
Aunt He enjoyed Qin Jiandan's flattery and left, while Qin Jiandan slandered behind her——
Is the five element analysis just now really okay? In fact, the Master's "cosmic Feng Shui" was a bit jealous, but Qin Jiandan didn't dare to talk about it in person for fear of being punched into the universe.
Fortunately, Aku himself has gray-white fur, so wearing black clothes does not look out of place, but gives him a certain sense of high-end.
Dinner was about to start in the cafeteria, and the maids followed Aunt He and left one after another. Qin Jiandan told them that he would take Aku for a stroll on the street.
"Young Master, you have to send Aku back! We will bring good food from the cafeteria for her to eat!"
"Aku, please don't run around outside. There are mutated crocodiles in the canals, and the mutated rats in the trash cans are also scary!"
The maids gradually disappeared, Qin Jiandan and A'ku looked at each other, and A'ku said:
"Are you going to see Mr. Wang's father? Boss Wang of the fried chicken restaurant still doesn't know about his son's bad news..."
The dwarf rat man's expression became sad. He was far away from the noisy atmosphere of the maid, and a deep sense of loneliness captured Aku again.
Qin Jiandan put his left hand on the table. Because the shoes under his feet were brand new, Aku did not hesitate and used his arms as a bridge to climb up, and soon stood on Qin Jiandan's shoulders.
"I discussed it with my sister about Lao Wang's son."
Qin Jiandan turned and walked towards the courtyard. Thanks to Aunt He's careful handwork, Aku stood steadier than when he was wearing protective shoes.
"My sister's name is Linlin. You have met her too." Qin Jiandan said as he walked:
"Linlin has an idea. She thinks that she should hide the news of her son's death from Boss Wang. Perhaps compared to the cruel truth, it is more kind to mistakenly believe that her son lives happily in the inner city."
"But I don't like this kind of "kind lie". There are many people who know. One day when things are exposed, it will only hurt Boss Wang even more. "
Qin Jiandan patted the breast pocket of his jacket. It was obvious that something was bulging there:
"Boss Wang is qualified and necessary to read this blood-stained diary. It also talks about you, Aku. When Boss Wang misses his son, you should also miss your friend."
Aku's round eyes were moist:
"I can't read, but-->>
[Reading updates are slow to load, there are ads, and chapters are incomplete. Please exit Reading and read again! 】
I will learn it later! In order to understand Mr. Wang’s diary! "
The rain was coming in and out, and the pitter-patter under the rainproof eaves felt like a heavy heart. Qin Jiandan took the umbrella from the guard and happened to meet Mu Yue coming from the direction of the cafeteria.
Mu Yue has changed back into a straight police uniform. It seems that it was not dried naturally, but Cuihua dried it in the dryer on the first floor. Because Vallei tipped generously, Cuihua was happy to provide additional services to 601.
"Valley is still eating. I don't have much appetite, so I came out first."
Mu Yue held a transparent umbrella by herself. She stopped outside the rainproof eaves:
"Didn't you say you were taking me to a place at noon? After I go there, I will report directly back to the police station. Valei is still suspended for reflection, so let her stay in the Night Dragon Club to continue her mission."
Mu Yue said this with a slight sense of distance.
Qin Jiandan had noticed before that once Mu Yue puts on the police uniform, she will be restrained by the seriousness and sense of responsibility that this profession should have.
Compared with the police uniform, does Mu Yue subconsciously regard all other costumes as cosplay? No wonder she was so affectionate with me when she was wearing a cheongsam in the morning. Clothes have such a great impact on my wife’s personality!
Fortunately, Mu Yue is not wearing a police hat now.
Wearing a police uniform and a police hat is a complete form, taking off the top and only wearing a white shirt underneath is a slightly softened second form. I’m not sure whether it’s the 3rd or 2.5 form if I take off my white shirt, but it will immediately put me into combat form…
"Chief...can I call you Sheriff?" Aku on Qin Jiandan's shoulder said timidly:
"Does the Sheriff hate rats, so he has been unwilling to talk to me? If it makes you unhappy, I will get off the young master's shoulders immediately!"
Only then did Qin Jiandan realize that he had made a small mistake. He felt that Valei was suitable for participating in celebrations and not suitable for comforting people in a sad environment, so he called Mu Yue when he went to express his condolences to Lao Wang.
He ignored Mu Yue's fear of mice! Mu Yue never spoke to Aku from the beginning to the end, but Aku was a friend of Lao Wang’s son, so she had to take Aku with her when she went to see Lao Wang this time!
"No, I'm just afraid of mutant rats. I had a little psychological shadow in the past."
Mu Yue bowed her head to Aku and apologized. Several streams of water slid across the surface of the transparent umbrella, making the police chief's expression foggy:
"I'm sorry, I've never seen a dwarf rat man before, so I'm a little scared of you. I heard Vale tell you about you, and I admire your courage. If there's anything I can do to help, please feel free to tell me. !”
Sheriff Mu Yue has a sincere attitude, and Aku intuitively judges that the other party is a good person.
But why did Aunt He say Sheriff Mu Yue was a vixen... I thought the Sheriff was a well-disguised fox Furui, but it turned out not to be the case. It seems that I will have to learn more in the future. There is a lot of knowledge on the ground that the dwarf rats don't know!
Qin Jiandan held up the umbrella in his hand and walked out of the headquarters gate side by side with Sheriff Mu Yue.
Their destination was the Lao Wang Fried Chicken restaurant where they had their first "date", but their mood at the moment was completely different. Mu Yue also heard about Lao Wang's son from Valei, and her investigation was indeed verified.
The umbrella was not wide enough, so Qin Jiandan did not force himself to share an umbrella with the police chief. The closer he got to the signboard of Lao Wang Fried Chicken Restaurant, the heavier Qin Jiandan's heart became.
Lao Wang stood at the door waiting for him, and a young apprentice helped Lao Wang hold an umbrella from behind. Lao Wang looked pale.
Qin Jiandan sent a guard to deliver a message half an hour ago, asking Lao Wang to temporarily close the store. Lao Wang immediately knew that something bad had happened.
Under the miserable wind and rain, both parties gathered on both sides of the closed store door. Qin Jiandan walked towards the trembling old Wang with a gloomy face:
"Boss Wang, you asked me to investigate your missing son... I'm very sorry!"
The dignified young master of the Night Dragon Club bowed solemnly to the fried chicken master who reluctantly opened a shop. Lao Wang's ominous premonition was confirmed, and he knelt in the rain and cried bitterly.
One of the most painful things in the world is when a person with white hair sends a person with black hair. Qin Jiandan did not disturb Lao Wang. Sheriff Mu Yue paid his respects silently. Pedestrians on the street did not dare to make any noise when they saw this scene.
Not long after, a small cry came in. Aku slipped from Qin Jiandan's shoulder to the ground and ran towards Boss Wang through the rain.
It's not that she doesn't cherish the new shoes on her feet, it's just that she cares more about this old man who looks very similar to Mr. Wang. M..coM
Aku couldn't say anything to comfort her. She held Boss Wang's thumb with both hands and cried bitterly in the rain together with those who had lost their friends and their sons.
Finally, Boss Wang raised his face slumped, looking at the dwarf rat man opposite him with some confusion but more with emotion.
Qin Jiandan introduced softly:
"She is Aku. She accompanied your son in the last days and was considered a comrade who shared weal and woe. Aku's parents and clan members were all killed."
Boss Wang's eyes overflowed with tears again, and he looked Aku up and down. Even if Boss Wang kneels down on his knees, he is equivalent to a giant in front of Aku.
For the dwarf rat man, the rain no less than a flood submerged his knees, but the giant in front of him stretched out his gentle arms to him:
"Is your name Aku? From now on you are my daughter..."
