Zhou Jinru's eyes were cold: "This is wrong. The person who did this should be Wei Yanwu, not you and me."
"Mr. Fourth is unaware of something. Very few people know that Princess Wenyue is in Longmen. It is precisely because of this that we need more protection."
Xiaolin Zongxin's request was not particularly difficult, and Zhou Jinru did not want to refuse. After all, Mrs. Wenyue twenty years later could take care of her husband, which was a good thing for Rhode Island...
"Xiao Lin, you really trust me."
"You're kidding, monsters like us cherish every human connection."
The man from Dongguo was not worried about being rejected at all. After he finished speaking, he was about to stand up and leave, but Zhou Jinru still had one doubt that he had not solved yet.
"Back then, after you left Sargon, you went to the Sami Icefield. What was the result?"
"As you can see now, we are still monsters. Astar and High Priest Candice disappeared into the wind and snow, and no one can find them."
Zhou Jinru thought for a while and felt that there was no need for Xiaolin to lie to him. His rhetoric was the same as that of Silver Fox. It seemed that the foursome really did not find the stone.
Kobayashi Sonobu saw his doubts and explained: "Astar was called the Tears of God in that distant era. Its greatest effect is to dispel the fear of death. Resurrecting the dead is just some of the more evil ways. Usage, and according to our later investigation, the so-called resurrection is not a resurrection in the true sense. Astar only resurrects the spirit, but the body is dead. It binds the spirit in the body, and this is the result."
"So that's it."
Zhou Jinru breathed out a heavy breath. When he heard such detailed news many years later, he couldn't help but sigh because so much time had passed.
"No need to send me off, I will come find you tomorrow morning, and we will go to see Princess Wenyue together."
Xiao Lin Zongxin stood up and left, walking very gracefully, with a straight back, as if he was still carrying a long knife on his waist.
It wasn't until long after he left that Murata Shigeru walked cautiously from the next door, with a face full of shock: "Mr. Fourth, I didn't expect you to know my maternal uncle. Could it be that you were invited here by him?"
"Did you hear our conversation?"
The thin young man shook his head quickly: "I only saw the scene when you met. My uncle is very scary when he is serious. I am too stupid to dare to listen to your conversation. If I am discovered, I will definitely be scolded by him!"
Without saying anything, Zhou Jinru thought that he didn't have the guts either.
"You guessed wrong. My encounter with your uncle was just an accident. I didn't know he would come here."
"Then, you must have known each other for a long time, right?"
Zhou Jinru smiled slightly and said, "Yes, we met many years ago. At that time, he still had long hair."
A night of silence.
In the early morning of this day, all the servants who rented here were busy going to work. Seeing that Xiao Lin hadn't come yet, Zhou Jinru looked for a place to eat downstairs.
"Fried dough sticks, soy milk wontons, sesame dumplings, steamed buns and noodles."
The name of the product was crookedly written on an old wooden board. Behind it was a steaming cauldron. A pair of thick and long chopsticks reached into it and took out a ball of noodles and put it in the bowl. The soup was thick and emitted. A scent that tempts gluttons.
Sitting in the middle of the bench, Zhou Jinru stirred the noodles in the bowl with chopsticks and glanced across the first floor. It was getting late yesterday and he couldn't see clearly. Only then did he realize that the three-story building connected together formed a "mouth" shape. The first floor There are very few residents, most of them are functional shops, morning tea shops, dental clinics, tailor shops, etc., but there is no nursery.
"Our sparrow is small but has all the internal organs. Young man, are you from outside?"
Zhou Jinru looked over when he heard the sound, and saw a greasy middle-aged man in silk pajamas looking at him. He picked up the sea bowl in front of him and took a sip. He made a gurgling sound in his throat and raised his neck to drink.
There was a faint smell of alcohol in the air. Zhou Jinru exhaled through his nose to dispel the smell and said lightly: "This is my first time here. It's very interesting. This place can be regarded as a small community."
"Are you a new tenant? Why haven't I seen you before..."
"I arrived yesterday evening."
"Oh, I wasn't at home last night. Don't worry, our place is pretty good, much better than that in Kowloon."
The greasy man stood up unsteadily and walked past Zhou Jinru carrying a bag of breakfast. He was tipsy and didn't care if he bumped into someone.
The owner of the morning tea shop came over with a bowl of hot soup and said with a smile: "That's the charterer. He's a nice person. They are a nice family."
Before he finished speaking, the landlord's roar was like a lion's roar, breathtaking: "Where did the lipstick mark on your collar come from?!"
Zhou Jinru stared at the soup bowl in front of him, with ripples of hot soup in the bowl.
"This Dragon Gate has hidden dragons and crouching tigers..."
…
Xiao Lin Zongxin arrived late. When he found Zhou Jinru, he found him holding on to the railing and looking down.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Zhou Jinru shook his head slightly: "There are too many masters in this place. It is indeed a mobile city that even the people of Ursus are afraid of. I doubt that the old lady sweeping the floor downstairs can breathe fire."
Xiao Lin Zongxin was startled and couldn't help but laugh: "This has always been the case in the Yan Kingdom. Most capable people and strangers hid in the busy streets. If you go to a teahouse to listen to books, the storytellers behind the screen are probably masters who have retired from the world. There is no need to commit suicide. Huan, come with me quickly."
The two walked out of the small community. There was already a car waiting on the road. When he opened the door, Zhou Jinru noticed that there was another person inside.
"Ms. Linlang, long time no see."
Xiao Lin from behind pushed him: "If you want to be a co-pilot, you are not allowed to sit next to Linlang."
Linlang smiled: "Lin told me yesterday that he met an old friend. I thought it was who it was, but it turned out to be Mr. Four. So where is Kelsey?"
The Walper woman deliberately looked around and exaggerated: "Oh, your old sweetheart is not here~"
Zhou Jinru sat in the passenger seat and sighed: "Is this a show of force?"
"You all pretend to be the same and make us look like you."
Through the rearview mirror, Zhou Jinru looked at Linlang sitting in the back row. She was also very different from back then. First, her long hair was cut short, making her look extra capable. Second, her long skirt was replaced by a lady's formal dress. The look of a professional woman.
"Then, should I call you Principal Linlang?"
Linlang leaned forward, supporting the back of the front seat with her arms, pointing at her husband who was about to drive and said, "Lin is the principal. I can only help him at most."
The ranger has traveled such a long way, and finally he has to stop and do some work.
Zhou Jinru suddenly remembered that he had also set up a school curriculum in Rhode Island. Do the operators also want to call him principal?
"How is Princess Wenyue?"
"Fortunately, even if I want to see her, I have difficulty. Fortunately, someone from the academy came, otherwise Wei Yanwu wouldn't even want to see her."
