When Yu Peng heard the voice on the phone, he was surprised and confused for a while, and then quickly asked
"Bring me a cake? What are you doing?"
Li Xiaoyu's somewhat urgent voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Didn't you say that none of your family members are here? It's your birthday. Of course you have a birthday cake and birthday wishes, so I'm here! Come and pick me up quickly. Why is it so cold here? My hands It’s all freezing.”
Yu Peng didn't know what she meant or what her purpose was, but once she came, she would be in peace. When the soldiers came, they would block the water and cover them with earth. We would talk about it when we met.
After confirming Li Xiaoyu's location, Yu Peng changed into a set of clean clothes and went out to pick her up.
When Li Xiaoyu and Yu Peng met in Bashang Grassland, they once mentioned the general location of where they lived. Although they did not mention the specific place, Li Xiaoyu obviously still remembered that he came straight to this place, which was just a short distance away from Yu Peng's home. Only about a few hundred meters
Yu Peng didn't know where the KFC she was talking about was at first. After all, four years ago, there was no KFC store here. Later, when she asked about the name of another familiar store, Yu Peng found her.
Far away, Yu Peng saw a tall girl standing under the sign of an old store, wearing a windbreaker and a hat on her head. She breathed on her hands to keep warm from time to time.
On a public chair next to it, there is a black box
In a small place like Chengde, the winter in December is very cold. Although it has not snowed in the past few days, the cold wind that blows from time to time is still not something these girls can bear.
Yu Peng took two quick steps, greeted Li Xiaoyu's wave, and arrived in front of her.
The two of them didn't exchange a few words. Li Xiaoyu was just surprised by Hei's height. He was about 1.75 meters tall, which was a little taller than him, but he didn't say much.
It was so cold that she doubted her life
After living in Beijing for so many years, it was my first time to go to Chengde, which is an hour away by high-speed rail. I didn’t expect that the temperature difference could be so big.
Li Xiaoyu followed Yu Peng to the bottom store, and watched Yu Peng lose all his energy for a long time before unlocking the door.
I sighed again, this place in Chengde is really amazing. Yu Peng had only been out for a few minutes before the lock froze and couldn't be opened.
ox!
After Yipeng brought Li Xiaoyu into the living room on the first floor of the basement store, from the cold outside to an environment with a suitable temperature, Li Xiaoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although this room is not that warm, compared to the outside, it is still a different world.
Yu Peng didn't talk to Li Xiaoyu either. He didn't know what to say. Besides, there was a pile of seafood waiting to be packed in the kitchen. He said hello to Li Xiaoyu and went to the kitchen to pack things.
Li Xiaoyu sat on the sofa, calmed down for a while, and finally recovered from the low temperature. Feeling that the temperature in Yu Peng's house was very comfortable, he simply took off his windbreaker and went to the kitchen door to see what Yu Peng was doing.
Looking at the seafood, lobsters, king crabs, and sea cucumbers in the kitchen, Li Xiaoyu really started to be surprised and said to Yu Peng who was busy
"Haha, no wonder you were so indifferent when you answered my call. I thought you were unhappy and in a low mood because there was no one to celebrate your birthday with you. I didn't expect that, I didn't expect that you were doing it yourself. What a feast!”
"Holy crap, is that a king crab, or a whole one? No, where did you get it from? I've never eaten a whole one in Beijing."
"No way? Shouldn't there be more seafood like this in Beijing?"
Yu Peng didn't even raise his head and responded to Li Xiaoyu's question casually.
"Hey, of course there is, but I wouldn't be willing to buy it because it's too expensive."
"You still have money"
Li Xiaoyu didn't know what he thought of, and finally added:
Yu Peng kept picking up the seafood without stopping. With Li Xiaoyu around, Yu Peng couldn't use psychic weapons to pick up the seafood, so the speed was naturally much slower. But this slowness was only what Yu Peng understood.
In Li Xiaoyu's eyes, Yu Peng's speed of cleaning up the seafood was even faster than those of famous chefs. With a few flicks of her wrists, she only saw the flash of light from a few kitchen knives, and the lobster was packed away. Put it on the plate on the platform next to it
Then Yu Peng quickly took out other seafood products and continued to dance with his wrists. Within a few minutes, all the seafood was put away.
Then he turned on the pot and lit the fire. He watched Yu Peng light the fire in two pots at the same time, pour oil for cooking, stew one and stir-fry over high heat. From time to time, he would switch between the two pots and put in the seasonings so that there was no conflict.
Li Xiaoyu was amazed when he saw it
Under Li Xiaoyu's gaze, Yu Peng could only choose the most normal way to cook. Although it was a bit slow, it was still quite easy. In just over 20 minutes, Yu Peng had cooked the food. The square table that fills the living room
Li Xiaoyu was not polite at all. He helped Yu Cheng clean up the dishes. After everything was done, he sat directly on the sofa and asked Yu Cheng to sit on the chair opposite. He was ready to start the meal.
There was no TV in this room from beginning to end, so it seemed a bit quiet. Before the official start, Li Xiaoyu sang a very simple birthday song to Yu Peng.
What made Yu Peng particularly embarrassed was not because he was alone in the same room with Li Xiaoyu, but because he was listening to others singing happy birthday to him. Yu Peng's goosebumps almost fell to the ground.
After that, the only sound left was the sound of eating
Yu Peng was very quiet. He didn't really want to talk. He just wanted to quietly savor the taste of the food.
Li Xiaoyu didn't say anything because the food cooked by Yu Peng was so delicious that she didn't have the mood or time to talk. She always felt that saying anything more would be disrespectful to these delicious foods.
Anyway, she didn't need to pretend to be a lady in front of Yu Peng. The more casual the better, so she ate openly without treating Yu Peng as an outsider.
After eating for almost half an hour, Li Xiaoyu was so stuffed that he couldn't eat any more. He reluctantly looked at the remaining food on the table, hating his own appetite for being too small. He could only watch Yu Peng continue to fight and clean up. endgame
Li Xiaoyu actually didn't eat much, only a quarter, and the rest went into Yu Peng's stomach. Although he was only half full, that's it.
After eating the rice and the dishes, feeling that the atmosphere was almost complete, Yu Peng finally asked the question
"What brings you here?"
"What can I do to celebrate your birthday? Why, I can't celebrate your birthday anymore? Are you so heartless?"
Li Xiaoyu replied simply and neatly, but she was a little unsure. The more she said the words that followed, her pitch got higher and higher, and she felt like she was acting like a rogue or a coquettish person.
Just looking at Yu Peng's serious and formal expression, Li Xiaoyu was quickly defeated under his sharp eyes.
"Oh, then I told you not to be angry. It's your birthday, so it's not good to be angry."
"It's okay, you say it first"
"hey-hey"
Li Xiaoyu chuckled and held it in for a long time before finally speaking.
"You still remember the knife you gave me, right? It was the time we played on the dam."
"Yeah, remember"
"Later I went back to Beijing, it was also because of my lack of hands. I showed off once in front of my grandfather, and then I was targeted. I didn't expect that the knife could cause such a big sensation, involving a lot of relatives and other connections. People came to me one by one and asked where this knife came from, especially the elders in my family. Later, I really couldn’t bear it, so I gave it to you.”
Speaking of this, Li Xiaoyu glanced at Yu Peng with a guilty look. Seeing that he still had no reaction or emotional change, he had no choice but to continue.
"Later, they asked me to find a way to find you and invite you to Beijing. They wanted to meet you, but I didn't expect that you just didn't answer the phone at first, and then you just turned off your phone and disappeared."
"That was at the beginning, more than a month ago. Then they still couldn't find you, so they used their connections to investigate, but still couldn't find any trace of you. I heard that they found your family, but not long after, Your family members have also disappeared, and they have been disappearing like this for four years."
"I actually didn't tell them the truth. At least I didn't tell them your birthday. So every year after your birthday, I would keep calling you to see if I could find you. Then, I suddenly contacted you today. "
"Then what?"
"Then I came here just to apologize to you."
Li Xiaoyu said it very simply, but Yu Peng still felt from her words the relationships and background behind her, and how much trouble and complicated operations she had gone through in the process.
Apologize? Haha, I'm afraid that apology is just a pretext for words. In the end, I still have to go to Beijing, right?
This is why Yu Peng dislikes dealing with others the most.
No one knows whether their unintentional actions will have many complicated consequences.
The social relations in this world are far simpler and more complex than many people imagine.
The crime of having a jade
What Yu Peng casually gave to Li Xiaoyu has a status in some fields that is beyond ordinary people's understanding.
Because that knife does not represent its function, but rather the level of forging, the height of financial and material resources, and the potential value of this person that are inadvertently displayed outside of its function.
The density of spiritual energy in this world has always been subject to tidal fluctuations, like a roller coaster. It suddenly becomes very dense in certain years. The speed of ordinary people's cultivation can be so fast that it makes people confused. Various geniuses and people who have achieved success in cultivation, everywhere
But in some years, the density of spiritual energy will be as low as the bottom. Let alone ordinary people practicing, even some clan members will find it difficult to make breakthroughs in spiritual energy cultivation.
Unfortunately, the era that Yu Peng lives in happens to be the period when spiritual energy is at its lowest point.
Except for Yu Peng, he has no influence on this issue at all
Therefore, at this time, the person who can create such a superb spiritual weapon, or the family behind it, will naturally become the focus of everyone's attention.
The wages of avarice is death
In the Beijing circle, with Li Xiaoyu as the starting point, all the relationships spread out have a very strong interest in Peng.
Even at the risk of offending someone, after failing to find Yu Peng, he launched various connections to find his family, and carried out various tentative harassments.
If it weren't for Luo Zhen and Gu Ze, they would have really succeeded.
The two spirits were a little annoyed at missing Yu Peng. At this time, many people suddenly appeared to search and disturb the life of Yu Peng's parents. Especially on two occasions, the other party came for the purpose of kidnapping. The two spirits also have fire energy
Directly killing eight waves of teams and personnel organizations that came to test, no matter whether they were kindly helping or maliciously harassing Yu Peng's parents, they showed no mercy.
And after that, Yu Peng's parents and sister moved away to allow these people to stop.
Then, four years later, another phone call from Li Xiaoyu broke the deadlock and returned Yu Peng to everyone's attention.
Looking at Li Xiaoyu in front of him, Yu Peng was a little upset, but there was nothing he could do about it.
I'm afraid the news of Li Xiaoyu's arrival has already spread in that circle
In fact, maybe after Li Xiaoyu dialed his phone number, the news had already spread throughout the world.
Whether Li Xiaoyu comes here or not will not prevent those people from getting the news.
Therefore, Li Xiaoyu turned off his mobile phone after seeing him. I am afraid he also understood the relationship between this matter.
Blame her?
It doesn't seem to be the case. After all, it's all my fault. If I didn't agree to be picked up by their motorcade, if I didn't leave when I arrived at the hotel, if I didn't talk so much with Li Xiaoyu, if I didn't give away the knife.
Maybe none of this will happen
But the last thing in this world that should be thought of is if at that time
There are no ifs, what happens, just happens, what is in the past is in the past
Instead of thinking so much, it’s better to spend more time and thought on what to do next.
Yu Peng looked at the girl in front of him, his mind had already jumped to other places, but he still wanted to understand what Li Xiaoyu was here for.
"Then what are you going to do when you come here?"
Li Xiaoyu looked at Yu Peng, and he didn't seem to be angry. He didn't know whether Yu Peng was really not angry, or he didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.
She then spoke and said
"This afternoon and on the way here, I have thought about it. When I come here, I will explain the situation to you, and then find a way to send you away to the south. There are friends over there who will help you out. The further away, the better. I have prepared the money. My parents and I asked for it, and I also borrowed it from my friends. There are more than five million in this card. I borrowed it to the best of my ability. You can take it. Hua, don’t worry, the account name on this card is not mine, and they can’t find it. You can avoid these people first, and I’ll figure out a way for the rest.”
Looking at Li Xiaoyu, he took out a bank card from his pocket. There was a note on the card with six numbers, which were obviously the bank card password.
Yu Peng didn't speak, but deep down, he still felt a little relaxed.
No matter what, Li Xiaoyu can still be treated as a friend.
This gives Yu Peng a little more hope for the people in this world.
Yu Peng is not afraid of trouble. What he is afraid of is that he is constantly being plotted by other people's cleverness. This will make Yu Peng feel very annoyed.
In the past four years in Juyu, except for the ancestral elder Bohule, everyone Yu Peng came into contact with, no matter how good their words were or how perfect they cooperated on the battlefield, in fact they all had their own agenda.
In the past four years, Yu Peng has never trusted anyone.
Including his ancestors, he was kept in the dark. I am afraid he will not know until his death that all his actions and even all his thoughts were clearly understood by the little boy. Even many links were The hole dug by the little boy
The little boy is the least trustworthy. What he does is something Yu Peng would not be able to figure out even if he stayed in the Absolute Realm for hundreds or thousands of years.
As for everyone else…
hehe
Seeing that Yu Peng didn't respond, Li Xiaoyu thought that he was not sincere enough, so he quickly explained:
"Don't worry about the money. I'm remembering the card number. When I get the money later, I'll transfer it to you at any time. Since I'm the one who caused it, don't worry, I won't run away. I'm not that kind of people"
