This is the suburb of Aomori City. Zhao Xin used the guidance of the road signs and spent a long time to identify his location.
He carefully observed the features of the surrounding scenery so that he would not find it the next time he came back.
Two days later, he returned to his home in China.
I took the high-speed train non-stop from Aomori, then caught a flight, and then took a taxi home. Zhao Xin walked in and put down his luggage, fell on the bed and slept until midnight.
After spending two days leisurely at home, Zhao Xin felt that he had recovered, and then he remembered buying clothes, so he went out to the largest clothing wholesale market in the city.
Many people have had the experience of wearing military coats in winter when they were children. In fact, the green military cotton coat is very good. Not only is it warm, but it’s also knee-length, so it can be used as a quilt when you lie down to sleep.
Zhao Xin found a store selling labor protection clothing and bought a thousand pieces of labor protection cotton coats, including old green ones and new black ones. He also bought a thousand pairs of labor protection shoes, which are stab-proof and smash-proof. In fact, these shoes are welding shoes. Zhao Xin wanted a high-top style with velvet, which is very warm. It also comes with thermal underwear, socks, overalls, etc.
He paid half of the payment, left his address, and made an appointment with the store to deliver the goods to his home the next day.
After doing this, he looked at the time and saw that it was only four in the afternoon. I searched on my phone and took a taxi to the southwest of the city. There is a physical store selling handicraft swords here, which is quite famous among domestic sword lovers.
Fortunately, when Zhao Xin arrived, there were still 10 minutes before the store closed.
Zhao Xin didn't understand anything about swords. In addition to looking at the appearance, he just selected ten Iai swords and ten wakizashi according to the classification of the products in the store and based on the principle that they are easy to use and do not have AC installed.
By the way, there is actually something wrong with the name Iaido sword. In fact, as long as you think it can be used when practicing in Iai, you can call it an Iai sword. Most people are afraid that swinging the sword will be too tiring, so they will choose a sword with a lighter weight and a heavier center of gravity to make the Iai sword. The only difference is that the Iai sword will definitely open a blood groove. Of course, some swords will also open a blood groove, but most of them will not.
The Iai swords he bought were all forged from T10 high-carbon steel; as for the wakizashi, they were forged using patterned steel covered with soil and a burnt edge process. The scabbards of these knives are made of hardwood wrapping.
When I calculated it during the checkout, the total amount of this knife was more than 20,000 yuan. Well, after paying the full payment and leaving the address, Zhao Xin put his hands in his pockets and left with a MMP feeling in his heart after the store owner gave it away with a smile on his face!
"Hello, Comrade Liu?"
"Zhao Xin, why did you remember to call me? I called you when I got off the ship a few days ago, but you still turned off your phone."
On the phone, the other party's tone was dull and he didn't sound very interested.
The man who answered the phone was Liu Sheng, Zhao Xin's middle school classmate. Liu Sheng joined the army right after graduating from high school, and went to the Marine Corps.
It is said that after Liu Sheng was discharged from the army, he was introduced to the big boss Yiwanwan as a driver and bodyguard. One time when I went back to Wanwan with my big boss, I encountered the police checking my identity. Liu Sheng looked down on the policemen and soldiers in Wanwan at all, and he was a bit crazy when he spoke. When the Wanwan policeman saw what you, a mainland boy, were doing on my territory, they choked on each other's words. Liu Sheng was not yet thirty years old at the time. The young man had a bad temper and pushed the police several times during the verbal conflict.
The result was not that I, the heroic retired special forces soldier, beat up the Bayan police as I imagined, but that the Bayan police pulled out a gun and pointed it at me. Only then did Liu Sheng realize that his bad temper had caused trouble again. So he had no choice but to be taken back to the police station, where he was beaten so hard that he almost lost hearing in his left ear.
After this incident, Liu Sheng became disheartened, so he resigned from his boss and refused to stay, and finally became a sailor and ran a ship. Now he has become the second mate on the ship.
"I'm sorry. My phone broke a few days ago, and I couldn't fix it after struggling all day, so I just replaced it with a new one. By the way, where are you?"
"At home. Is something wrong?"
"I miss you."
"It's so disgusting."
"hey-hey."
In a noisy stew restaurant, Zhao Xin was sitting in the corner talking nonsense.
"Three liang. Who wants three liang? Come and get it!"
The landlady a few meters away shouted at the top of her lungs.
"People are here, people are here."
Zhao Xin shouted hurriedly, and hurriedly went to the front to cook his own braised food.
"Hey, did you just eat?"
"That's right. I ran out for a long time and didn't eat at lunch. I just made up for two bites. Anyway, I'm the only one going home."
"With your conditions, it won't be difficult to find a girl, right?"
"Why are you in a hurry? It's good to be single at the moment. I'm going back and forth in and out of the country, so I don't have time."
Zhao Xin was chatting away while eating braised pork.
Several people at the front table overheard Zhao Xin's words and looked at each other with smiles, their eyes conveying: "Did you see that? Another nonsense."
"Let's not talk about it for now. Let's make an appointment another day and I'll treat you to dinner."
The next day, Zhao Xin woke up early and went to the morning market outside the community to buy two kilograms of chicken livers. He boiled them in plain water at home without adding any salt. After cooking, take out the chicken liver and let it cool, then cut it into small dices and put it in a small plastic bag.
After finishing all this, he took a plastic bag, took a taxi, and went straight to the park.
The park he went to was a famous gathering place for stray cats in the city. Well, Zhao Xin's curiosity sparked again, and he wanted to do an experiment first.
When we arrived in the woods deep in the park, we could already see several stray cats wandering around.
Zhao Xin opened the plastic bag with a smile, took out a few pieces of chicken liver, and screamed "Mmmmmmmmm", waiting for the test product to come to the door.
Not long after, a shiny, fat, yellow-haired tabby cat came over...
Zhao Xin took out the plastic bag with a smile on his face, greeted the cat, and reached out to the jade pendant in his arms with his other hand...
Two hours later, Zhao Xin was at home.
The big tabby cat looked around at the unfamiliar environment, turning back to Zhao Xin from time to time, and gave a very dissatisfied "meow".
Two hours of imprisonment made it develop a deep malice and fear towards the human being in front of it.
"Okay, are you thirsty?"
Zhao Xin hurriedly went to the kitchen to get a bowl of cold water for the tabby cat and put it on the floor.
"Meow" the tabby cat ignored it.
Well, Zhao Xin took out the plastic bag from his jacket pocket again, opened it and placed it on the ground.
A strong smell of chicken liver floats in the house...
The tabby cat was defeated and quickly began to eat. After eating and drinking, it came to Zhao Xin's feet and rubbed its big fat head against Zhao Xin's feet.
"It seems that there will be no problem within two hours. How about extending the time?"
Zhao Xin squatted on the ground and rubbed the head of the tabby cat lying at his feet with his hands, and evil thoughts came to him again.
The tabby cat seemed to have sensed Zhao Xin's malice. It stood up, shook its head, and then jumped onto the table.
"Meow~~!"
"Still running?"
Zhao Xin grabbed the tabby cat by the neck and slipped it back.
In the eyes of the tabby cat, this evil human took out the stone he had seen before and moved it infinitely closer to his head...
Three hours later, the tabby cat looked angrily at the boxes in the room.
Humans are so evil! I really want to go back to the park~~
Not only did they shut me down in my little dark room, but they also occupied my territory.
Dong Dong, someone knocked on the door.
"Let's go play." Zhao Xin waved his hand and sent the cat into the kitchen.
The clothes, shoes, bedding, etc. ordered by Zhao Xin had all been delivered, but before they were all delivered, the handicraft samurai sword he purchased arrived again. His 80-square-meter room was filled with messy boxes, and even The bedrooms are full.
Inspect the goods and pay, close the door, and put the things into the jade pendant. After finishing all this work and looking at his room, Zhao Xin decided to find a warehouse another day. Such a large number of things can only be seen in and out. If a caring neighbor notices this, things will be complicated.
It was already getting late and the light in the house was dim. When Zhao Xin was thinking about where to go for dinner, the phone rang.
"Brother, what are you doing?" This is Zhao Xin's cousin, the child of his aunt's family.
"It's okay, I'm just getting ready to eat."
"Well, I'll come to you and have a few sips together."
"Drink all you want. Come here quickly. The Sichuan restaurant outside my neighborhood is waiting for you." Zhao Xin put down the phone and shook his head helplessly.
Zhao Xin doesn't like drinking very much. He is the kind of person who just drinks a little for fun once in a while. Many people say that Moutai tastes delicious, but Zhao Xin really doesn't like it, and he doesn't even like giving it away for free.
Sometimes, Zhao Xin would buy some red wine, whiskey, rum and the like to keep at home, but he never remembered to drink them. Occasionally, a friend comes to the house and wants to drink, Zhao Xin will open it and treat the friend to a drink.
He thought this was good. He wasn't good at drinking either, so at least he wouldn't get into trouble because of drinking.
Zhao Xin prepared chicken liver and water for the tabby cat lying in the kitchen, and said to the tabby cat, "Be good, or I will put you in solitary confinement." Then he went out.
When he arrived at the Sichuan restaurant, he ordered three cold, two hot and five dishes. Zhao Xin used his mobile phone to search for warehouse information. He was going to check it out tomorrow.
Half an hour later, my cousin came in a hurry.
Zhao Xin asked the waiter to serve the food, while his cousin ordered a bottle of Red Star Erguotou.
"Drink some with me."
"Okay, I'll only drink one or two, and the rest is yours."
"How boring this is."
"Ask me, I have something to do early tomorrow morning."
My cousin gave up reluctantly, but as soon as the cold dishes came, he drank two glasses of white wine. This cup should cost eight cents.
When Zhao Xin saw that something was wrong, something must have happened, and he quickly asked: "What's wrong?"
"separated."
"What divorce?" Zhao Xin didn't react for a moment.
"Follow her."
"When did this happen?"
"Going through the formalities today."
"You are so damn fast." Zhao Xin was speechless.
Zhao Xin's cousin's surname is Cheng, and his name is Cheng Wei. Under the age of twenty-seven, including this time, I have been divorced twice.
Cheng Wei is also a weirdo. Every time he finds a wife, he is three years older than him. Zhao Xinchang secretly slandered that this boy must have an Oedipus complex.
Based on Cheng Wei's conditions, he was a pretty good guy. He had an imperial household registration, graduated from a college, was 1.82 meters tall, drove for a big boss of a state-owned enterprise, and had a very stable income.
But this kid is so weak in life that he doesn't live an honest life even after getting married. He goes out to drink and go to karaoke bars with a group of colleagues and friends all day long.
Zhao Xin told him many times that if you like drinking and going to karaoke bars, why did you get married? But Cheng Wei just didn't listen. As a result, both marriages broke up within a year, and they had no children.
"How is work?" Zhao Xin decided to change the topic.
"Quit."
"Ah?! What do you mean?"
"The boss was caught for corruption. The new boss who was sent here brought his own driver."
"When did this happen?"
"Just last month. I called you and you still turned off your phone." Cheng Wen said, taking another sip.
"Brother, I plan to have sex with you. I also told my mother, and my mother agreed."
"What are you doing with me?"
"Don't you provide medical services?"
"Don't mention that. I'm going to close the company."
"..." Cheng Wei was stunned.
"What should we do?"
Zhao Xin took a look and thought, yes, we still need to help. He thought about it carefully and then said: "I plan to do other business. But you can keep your words. You can do it with me, but there are two conditions you must agree to first."
"Say it." Cheng Wei didn't care.
Zhao Xin looked at Cheng Wei seriously: "First, we must stop drinking. We can't drink like this anymore."
"I've never missed work before when I drank."
"Your father died of stomach cancer because of drinking. You have this gene, so you have to quit. Is that okay?"
"Okay, okay. I promise I'll only drink a little occasionally from now on."
"Second, you go to the other side of the ocean for a few months."
"What are you doing there?"
"Participate in a shooting training camp for two months." Zhao Xin thought to himself that it was just idle time. What if it comes in use in the future?
He had seen a video of a Chinese man on the Internet before. This man was a gun shop owner who was very good at firearms and shooting. He also opened a "shooting training camp" for enthusiasts to train.
Just as he said, Zhao Xin took out his mobile phone, first found the video of the Chinese man, and then sent a private message to the other party asking for his contact number.
"Brother, why do you want me to learn this? It's not allowed in the country, even toy guns are strictly controlled."
"Don't worry about it for now. In addition to room and board, I will give you a monthly salary of 1,500 US dollars. When you come back, I will decide whether to increase or decrease it based on your level. Are you going?"
Is this a good thing? Cheng Wei said "ha" and became happy: "I'll go."
"Don't tell your mother when you go home that you want to learn how to shoot. Just say that I asked you to go to the other side of the ocean to inspect medical projects."
"Brother, are you going? It would be so much fun for us two."
"Well, I have to go to the island country first, and then I'll find you. Tomorrow you'll be responsible for finding the visa agent. Remember, it needs to be a multiple-entry visa, at least for one year."
"knew."
"Do you still have money?"
"Running out."
Zhao Xin was speechless, and then transferred 20,000 yuan to Cheng Wei through his mobile phone.
At this time, his phone received a notification that the Chinese man had replied to him. Zhao Xin opened it and saw that the person had actually left him an email address and contact number.
Zhao Xin immediately made a call. It was morning on the other side of the ocean, so the call went through as soon as he called.
After a polite exchange between the two parties, he carefully inquired about the cost and start time of the training camp, and asked the other party to send a detailed introduction to the training camp to his email; Zhao Xin explained that in order to make his cousin understand, he specially stated that he should is the Chinese version.
After dinner, Cheng Wei chatted with Zhao Xin for a long time before leaving. When Zhao Xin returned home, the tabby cat had eaten all the chicken liver and drank the water.
Good guy, what if you poop and pee in the house in the middle of the night?
Yes, I have to go downstairs. He carried the cat downstairs again, put the cat down in the garden of the community, and waited for it to solve its personal hygiene problems.
Light a cigarette and take a deep breath. In the dark night, Zhao Xin looked at the big tabby cat and sighed: "Okay, if you don't run away, I will give you a name and keep it."
What's it called? Ah Hua, this is too unpleasant; Ah Fei, the sense of discrimination is too strong.
Zhao Xin suddenly had an idea: "Just call me Duofu."
Duofu, who was sniffing around on the grass in the dark, seemed to be aware of it and gave a "meow" to Zhao Xin.
"Haha, agreed." Zhao Xin smiled.
