In a small forest behind Naduo Village, the panting Ma Tao finally caught up with his father.
"Dad...you...how did you know the chassis of my chariot..."
Ma Tao, who was running out of breath, saw that his father finally stopped, and hurriedly panted and ran to a place one or two meters behind his father and stopped to ask.
"What's the girl's name?"
Dad didn't answer his question, but asked a question.
"ah???"
Ma Tao bowed his waist and supported his almost overstretched body with both hands. He was stunned by his father's meaningless question. After thinking about it, since he asked, he would simply tell him, so he said, " Her name is Su Lanxi"
The father looked back at his son and said nothing.
"Dad, you haven't told me how you know the chassis of my car."
The short rest allowed Ma Tao to relax a lot, and he no longer struggled to speak.
"Do you want to know?"
Dad's eyes flickered a little, but when Ma Tao saw clearly, he realized that they were actually tears!
How can this be!
In Matao, no! In Xiao V's memory, although the somewhat buried middle-aged man in front of him has no ability or ability, he is definitely a competent father and a man, because this man has never shed tears again, but today, Ma Tao could say with certainty that he actually saw this man crying.
"you…
After returning home, the two girls had already finished their meal and were trying on the newly bought clothes in the back bedroom. They didn't wait for Ma Tao, and Ma Tao didn't care about it. He came to the dining table to eat by himself.
"Lan Xi! Come to school with me later? Shall we go see the children?" Ma Tao called Su Lanxi in the room while eating.
"Okay, wait for me." Su Lanxi's voice responded from the bedroom.
"Go to school. I'll go with you later. It'll be fine if you don't stay." The girl Yue'er also responded.
Ma Tao acquiesced. After dinner, the two girls had changed their clothes and appeared in front of Ma Tao.
Both Yue'er and Su Lanxi were experienced in human affairs, especially Su Lanxi. She was no longer a little girl, but she now showed a special kind of maturity and beauty.
"Aren't you going to change clothes?" Su Lanxi asked, looking at Ma Tao still wearing the combat uniform.
"I won't change it. This is good." Ma Tao chuckled.
"That won't work, your clothes are smelly..." Su Lanxi disagreed and dragged Ma Tao to change into clean casual clothes.
Yue'er locked the door, and Su Lanxi and she walked in front hand in hand. These days, they have almost walked all over Seoul, and the way to school has been memorized in their hearts.
Someone was leading the way, and Ma Tao was happy to be at ease. He followed the two women with his hands behind his back and followed their footsteps.
Half an hour later, the three of them arrived at Seoul Elementary School.
It's still the same here, with two bungalows built with cement tiles and a small playground, but there are a few more children than last time. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Ma Tao and the others left not long ago, besides, there are so many children left behind. Not much money either.
After entering the school, the three of them came to the classroom again.
The students are in class, and they are all looking at the questions on the display screen carefully.
It was Teacher Liu who was teaching on the podium, that is, the middle-aged woman. At this moment, she was writing a topic on the screen with a touch screen pen. When she finished writing, she turned around and saw Ma Tao and three people standing at the door of the classroom.
"You should study by yourself first and think about how to solve this question." Teacher Liu recognized Ma Tao and Su Lanxi at a glance, especially Su Lanxi's stunning face. He definitely remembered them deeply and walked directly towards them. Come over.
Teacher Liu received them warmly. Ma Tao and the others had nothing else to do. They explained the reason, looked at the additional children, and donated 500G to the school. Unexpectedly, Yue'er who came with them also donated. In her words, she had received so much favor from Ma Tao. Since she couldn't repay him, she would help more people in need.
When Teacher Liu heard this, he was flattered. This was a full 800G. Including what Ma Tao and the others donated last time, it was definitely a huge amount. At that time, he didn't know how to thank Ma Tao for his kindness, and even his words were a little incoherent.
Since it was a donation, Ma Tao never thought about repaying it. The three of them smiled and declined all the kindness of Teacher Liu and left Seoul Primary School together.
In the days that followed, Ma Tao lived a very leisurely life. He even asked Su Lanxi if it was a good life. Su Lanxi didn't even want to tell him that if you are willing, we can also buy a house. The same After living here, Ma Tao disappeared.
After turning off the communication watch, Xiao Jinzi tried to contact Su Lanxi, but Su Lanxi said nothing. After that, he chose to remain silent and did not reply. As time went by, Xiao Jinzi stopped contacting her.
When he is really free, Ma Tao has nothing to do. He only eats and sleeps every day. The life of the rich that Ma Tao once envied the most, turned out to be so boring after staying there for a long time. If he hadn't often gone to the Warrior Bar to find money. Tai and Ma Tao were almost going crazy at home.
However, Ma Tao met Qian Santai once in the past two days. It happened that Qian Santai was transporting a batch of PAG80 to the bar. Several of his gangsters almost started a fight with Ma Tao.
The reason was because Ma Tao peeked at them, but those gangsters were no match for Ma Tao. It was okay to scare ordinary people, but they were not qualified to treat Ma Tao, who had gone through several life and death tests. After all, they belonged to Qian Santai. His subordinates, Ma Tao, did not kill them, and did not even use the steel knife behind his back. He directly dislocated several of them and lay on the ground wailing.
Immediately afterwards, Qian Santai rushed out with a group of people. When he saw Ma Tao, he scolded the gangsters on the ground and gave them some money. The gangsters looked at each other. At one glance, he left in despair.
"Brother, where have you been these two days? Ever since the waiter told me that you have been here, I can't find you anywhere." Qian Santai gave Ma Tao a warm hug when he saw him.
"I haven't gone anywhere, I'm just hiding in a corner of Seoul, hiding away." Ma Tao thought to himself, he hasn't left the house in the past few days, it's weird for others to see me.
"Then my brother's hiding is really extraordinary." Qian Santai smiled and then said, "Sit in the room?"
"No." Ma Tao thanked Boss Qian and looked at the PAG80s on the ground.
"Boss Qian is very capable. Most of the prices in Seoul are 40, but you can actually get 80." Ma Tao looked at it roughly and saw that it was about 80 or 90 cents.
"It's just a joke. It's just a businessman relationship. These things were eliminated from those powerful bounty hunter tanks. I thought they were useful, so I kept them. I didn't expect that they would actually be used today." Qian Santai was a little embarrassed. The fat face smiled, making his eyes appear smaller.
Not to mention the gap between 80 and 40, Ma Tao's tank has more than 400 armor pieces, which is enough, and the jeep is about the same. PAG80 estimates that the eight or nine armor pieces on the ground are enough.
"Boss Qian is preparing for a rainy day." Ma Tao stopped looking at the simple armor pieces on the ground and raised his head to talk face to face with Boss Qian.
"Is this all for a better future? It's nothing. Does your tank have a fax device?" Qian Santai suddenly asked this.
"Thank you for reminding me. One of them has been installed before, and the other one is planned to be installed soon." After his reminder, Ma Tao mentioned this.
"It is indeed the Glory Warrior. You are so thoughtful. If you guessed correctly, the one without the fax should be my new chariot, right?" Qian Santai said, followed by a hearty laugh. The eyes are almost like a line.
"The fax device can return to town from the journey in an instant. For Boss Qian, this thing should be the basis for life-saving and the key to this cooperation." Ma Tao also smiled.
Boss Qian must have chosen to cooperate with him. The role of this fax device is the bottom line for his life-saving. After all, if he can't be defeated, he can just evacuate the battlefield and still run away, which is also a safe way to save his life.
"Hehehe, cooperation, cooperation, come here! Give Brother Ma the PAG and send it to the chariot!" Waving his hand, Qian Santai directed several of his men to carry a PAG80.
"Thank you, Boss Qian. I'll just send it to the supply point at the chariot accessories store. I can do it myself." Ma Tao doesn't want anyone to be able to get on his chariot, so it's better to leave it there and do it bit by bit. .
Qian Santai nodded and agreed to the proposal. His men carried the PAG80 and went straight to the tank accessories store.
"I still have some trivial matters, so I won't keep you here today." Because Qian Santai had other matters, he explained them and the two said goodbye.
Ma Tao made a small circle and came to Daniu's supply point again. There was nothing going on in the store today, and it was rare to see Daniu have time to sit among the cannonballs and drink water.
Originally, Ma Tao planned to drive a jeep tank to the tank equipment store to install the fax, but upon hearing this, the honest Daniel directly told Ma Tao that it was not so troublesome and that they could install it here.
Thinking about it carefully, as the saying goes, no businessman can make money without profit. Installing a fax device is a big price, and it is reasonable for someone to install it at home. As soon as Ma Tao thought about it, he directly put the money into Daniel 's store.
I remember that the last installation was 350G. Daniel didn’t ask for much, so he just accepted these and gave them to me, and sent Ma Tao away.
In the remaining days, Ma Tao just rested and recharged his energy. He became a beautiful lady, never leaving the front door or entering the second door. He was accompanied by beautiful women every day, and he was a perfect otaku.
Time passed very quickly, and half a month passed by in a hurry.
On the morning of the fifteenth day, Ma Tao put on the new combat uniform Su Lanxi bought in Seoul, put on the leather armor, put on a leather hat and leather gloves, and glanced at another identical combat uniform next to him. Su Lanxi bought it for Xiao Jinzi.
The hand wearing black leather gloves gently touched the combat uniform. For half a month, Ma Tao followed the agreement and did not contact Xiao Jinzi. He did not even turn on the watch. Now he turned on the communication watch again. Seeing that the dialog box representing Xiao Jinzi turned gray, Ma Tao knew that he had not turned on the phone, and felt a little regretful about his original decision.
"Are you regretting it?" Su Lanxi was wearing the same style of female combat uniform, carrying a musket and leaning against the door. She must have been observing Ma Tao for a long time.
"There is nothing I don't regret later. I respect everyone's choice," Ma Tao took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
"But you didn't even tell him the meeting time and place," Su Lanxi said with a wink.
"This can be considered a test for him. Let him solve it by himself..." Ma Tao said.
"What if he doesn't come? Or if he misses the meeting time, do I need to wait for him?" Su Lanxi's question directly touched Ma Tao's heart.
If you say wait, when will you wait? It would be a pity if we didn't wait and really passed by. This is exactly what Ma Tao is worried about now.
"No wait!" Ma Tao opened his eyes, looked at the combat uniform in his hand and said resolutely.
"In contrast, you still prefer Xiao Jinzi to stay. Don't believe what I say, because you have already made your choice. Although you don't want to lose Xiao Jinzi as a teammate, now you are waiting to see how Xiao Jinzi chooses. "Su Lanxi looked at Ma Tao helplessly.
"Go and get ready. We will go get the chariot later. I want to be alone for a while..." Ma Tao said, took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath.
"It's all done. I'm just waiting for you. Yue'er insists on seeing us off..." Su Lanxi looked at Ma Tao smoking there and turned to leave.
After smoking the cigarette, Ma Tao looked at the combat uniform in his hand and the watch that still displayed the small gold gray frame. Ma Tao decided to put the suit into his backpack.
When they went out again, Su Lanxi and Yue'er were already waiting at the door. Yue'er also carried an extra bag for Su Lanxi. Ma Tao didn't care about the extra backpack.
"Let's go!" Ma Tao picked up the steel knife at the door and put it on his back, and was the first to walk out.
The three of them first went to Qian Santai's Warrior Bar. This slightly fat middle-aged man was already waiting at the bar.
Unexpectedly, this human spirit actually bought a suit of leather armor, and also wore a leather hat and leather gloves. He wrapped himself up tightly and carried a rather large backpack, but he was smart enough not to carry a weapon.
There are some of his subordinates and friends beside him, as well as two women and children, who should all be his wives. In this world, as long as you have the ability and strength, as long as you can afford it, no one will care what you have. A few wives and children, because it means you are successful.
"What? Are you planning to go in a group?" Ma Tao looked at Qian Santai, who was dragging his family with him.
"I misunderstood, they are all here to see me off," Qian Santai said, stroking the two children beside his legs.
"I don't understand why you have a family and a job," Ma Tao asked Qian Santai in a low voice.
"Just because I have a family and a job." Qian Santai looked at Ma Tao and thought for a while before answering.
Ma Tao was stunned by what he said, and suddenly understood something.
Yes, the more stressed people are, the more they move forward bravely. This is a wise saying.
"Why isn't the young master from the Jin family here?" Qian Santai looked around and found that someone was missing.
"My chariot is in the parts store." Ma Tao said without answering him, turned around and left.
Qian Santai looked at Su Lanxi again and saw that she also shook her head without saying a word. She frowned and didn't know what she was thinking. However, seeing that Ma Tao had already walked twenty or thirty meters away, he gritted his teeth and followed The wife and children behind him said goodbye and followed.
The big man at the tank supply point has put all the PAG80s in the two tanks, as if waiting for Ma Tao.
When Ma Tao and the others appeared at the door of the chariot parts store, Daniel went directly to greet them.
"The fax device has been installed for you. It's in the back seat of the jeep. You've got so many armor pieces. Are you planning to make any big move?" Daniel said.
"That's right. We plan to go north." Ma Tao looked at him and had no intention of hiding it.
"It turns out what that kid said was true..."
"Who are you talking about?"
Daniel muttered something in a low voice, but Ma Tao, who had good ears, heard him.
"Little boy, he came to my shop a few days ago. He stayed here for two days and checked and maintained your tank." Daniel would not lie. After what he said, Ma Tao originally The somewhat depressed mood suddenly lifted.
"Then where is he now?" Su Lanxi asked quickly.
"I don't know. One day, the little boy's parents came with a lot of people and took him back. He was never seen again after that." Daniel shook his head and answered Su Lanxi's words.
"Xiao Jinzi's parents cheated! They didn't say they would forcibly detain Xiao Jinzi at the beginning!" Su Lanxi looked at Ma Tao angrily upon hearing this.
Although Yue'er beside her was also dissatisfied, since she decided to stay in Seoul, she didn't say anything about it. Everything had to wait for Ma Tao to make his own decision.
"What? Mr. Jin is not going?" Qian Santai didn't know what was going on here, but he just saw that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
"This has nothing to do with you. I have to go to the north. If you feel something is wrong, you can leave now." Ma Tao glanced at Qian Santai and said.
"I don't mean anything else...just asking...asking." Qian Santai blushed, but people like him obviously understood current affairs, so he didn't say anything.
"What should we do?" Su Lanxi continued to ask when Ma Tao didn't answer.
"What should I do? Get out of the city! Go and drive a jeep! Let Boss Qian be my car." Ma Tao directly ordered to set off.
He tightened his backpack tightly and took out another pack of cigarettes and threw it to Daniel. The latter was about to refuse, but looked at Ma Tao's determined eyes and accepted it.
Su Lanxi knew that Ma Tao was sulking. In fact, he also understood that Xiao Jinzi's parents did this for Xiao Jinzi's benefit. There was really no good way for others who were not close relatives to get involved too much.
"Let's go, I'm staying with you." The girl Yue'er also noticed that Ma Tao was in a bad mood, so she ignored Su Lanxi and quickly tugged on her sleeve, and the two got into the jeep.
The light main battle tank that had been sleeping for fifteen days roared again and woke up.
This was the first time Qian Santai entered a real tank. Sitting in the co-pilot, he was so excited. He held both sides of the seat with his hands and stared at the dazzling control screen with his small eyes. He looked to the left. He looked to the right, but Ma Tao, who was driving the chariot, was frowning because of Xiao Jinzi and was driving with his head down. Although Qian Santai had many things to say, judging from his appearance, he didn't say anything in the end.
Ma Tao's chariot drove out of the chariot accessories store, and the jeep driven by Su Lanxi followed him out.
Ma Tao did not drive quickly because he was afraid that Su Lanxi's driving skills were not good. However, the chariot parts store was not far from the city gate. Ten minutes later, the exit of Seoul was already in sight. Ma Tao's brows were furrowed. The reason is becoming more and more serious.
Could it be that Xiao Jinzi was really under house arrest by his parents?
Ma Tao thought so.
I don’t know why, but there were so many teams leaving the city today. When they were still dozens of meters away from the city gate, Ma Tao and his team had to start moving at a very fast pace.
"Ma Tao, Yue'er needs to get off the car!" Su Lanxi's voice reminded Ma Tao from the watch.
If she hadn't spoken, Ma Tao would have really forgotten about Yue'er and was thinking about Xiao Jinzi.
The two tanks stopped, Ma Tao climbed out of the tank, and Qian Santai followed suit.
The door of the jeep opened, and the girl Yue'er and Su Lanxi also got out of the chariot.
"As the old saying goes, you have to say goodbye after a long journey. I look forward to your triumphant return. I won't say more. Others are still queuing up behind the motorcade." Yue'er got out of the car and hugged Ma Tao directly, stretched her neck and kissed Ma Tao gently. Tao slapped his cheek and left playfully.
Ma Tao nodded and smiled, and glanced at Su Lanxi secretly. Seeing that she didn't have any dissatisfied expression, he felt relieved. He thought to himself, Yue'er dared to trick me before leaving.
"Boss Qian, although Yue'er believes that you have a lot of abilities in Seoul, outside, you'd better listen to Ma Tao, because Ma Tao gave Yue'er her life. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'd have fed wild animals today." "I'm a dog!" Yue'er looked at Boss Qian, and since she didn't understand him well, she just bowed lightly.
"Uh... of course. Please rest assured, Miss Yue'er. If you need anything or encounter any difficulties in Seoul, just go to the Warrior Bar and just say what I said." Qian Santai listened to Yue'er's words and smiled slightly.
"Let's go." The girl Yue'er took a few steps back and waved to everyone. Su Lanxi's eyes turned red, and she hugged Yue'er again before leaving reluctantly.
Ma Tao sighed, glanced at Qian Santai beside him, and was about to return to the chariot.
"Hey!! Who are you!!" Su Lanxi had just opened the door of the jeep's cab, and found a faceless person in the car who was dressed in black and wearing a hood. Without thinking, he pulled it out. P1911 on his lap pointed at his head.
"Who are you?" Ma Tao rushed over as soon as he heard Su Lanxi's exclamation. His hand had already grasped the handle of the titanium alloy steel knife behind his back. He was even saying goodbye to Yue'er, who was saying goodbye to Ma Tao and the others. They all ran over.
"Sister Lanxi moves so fast, she looks more and more like a bounty hunter." The man sitting in the jeep gently pushed Su Lanxi's gun away, reached out and slowly took off his hood, revealing a playful smile. face.
"Little gold!!"
"I knew it was you just by the sound of the voice!!"
The man in the jeep was none other than Jin Bao
