Qiu Tu's motto has always been to ask if you don't understand, and never keep it to yourself. So when he met a neighbor who ran away when he saw him again, Qiu Tu stepped forward and grabbed the other person's collar, "Uncle Chen. Why are you running?" Qiu Tu is also a well-known figure in Jiuxiang Street. Before the establishment of New Territory City, he led A Tai, Old Eagle and others to run rampant in several nearby streets. Although he was not very enthusiastic about these neighbors, he did not bully people like other groups. He even helped the neighbors occasionally and solved some troubles. After the establishment of New Territory City, Qiu Tu relied on the relationship with Secretary Bai to eat the emperor's food and became an unattainable big man in the eyes of these neighbors. But Qiu Tu still did not act arrogantly in the street. Instead, he used Yan Chen's tiger skin to find jobs for Old Eagle and other brothers who followed him, and helped the street to obtain benefits several times. It can be said that he was full of human touch. This style of doing things also made him have a good reputation in the street and a certain prestige. Therefore, Qiu Tu had never encountered a situation where neighbors ran away when they saw him. What surprised him even more was that after being pulled by Qiu Tu, Uncle Chen's face suddenly turned pale. He kept bowing and bowing to Qiu Tu, and kept muttering, "Qiu Tu, we have no grudges in the past and no hatred in the present."
"When you were alive, I helped you watch the door. Even if I stole two potatoes from you, I was also very hungry. Please don't take me away." Qiu Tu:? ? Qiu Tu keenly caught a key word, "When alive." He reversed it, so. These neighbors thought he was dead? Qiu Tu frowned slightly, grabbed Uncle Chen, and slapped him twice to wake him up. After being slapped, Uncle Chen was not afraid anymore, but shouted excitedly, "Qiu Tu, you are not dead? I was scared to death! I thought I met a ghost!" Qiu Tu: Looking at Uncle Chen who was talking without thinking, Qiu Tu resisted the urge to slap him again, and patiently asked about the whole story. Soon he knew everything. He walked towards his home with a dark face. Then he saw Shen Lingshuang kneeling on the ground, wearing mourning clothes, holding her black and white photo in her arms downstairs of his house. She was so small that she couldn't support the mourning clothes at all, and looked pitiful. Her big eyes were red and swollen from crying, but she still threw yellow paper into the brazier while holding Qiu Tu's black and white photo and crying non-stop. Qiu Tu was very upset when he saw this. He walked up to Shen Lingshuang and asked sinisterly, "I heard that you told people I was dead?" Hearing Qiu Tu's voice, Shen Lingshuang was stunned for a moment, and her eyes stayed on Qiu Tu's black riding boots. Then she moved up little by little until she saw Qiu Tu's handsome face clearly. Her expression changed from sadness to disbelief. After a moment, she suddenly jumped up from the ground, jumped on Qiu Tu, and then burst into tears, "Woo woo woo! Qiu Tu! Qiu Tu, you are still alive! Still alive! So good!" Qiu Tu originally wanted to teach this little girl who "cursed herself to death" a lesson, but when he saw her really sad look now, he felt a little soft-hearted for a while. He hesitated for a moment, and finally gently held the girl's delicate butt with his right hand, patted her back with his left hand, and comforted her, "Okay, okay, why are you crying? And who told you that I was dead?"
Shen Lingshuang said with a wronged look, "No one told me." "I guessed it myself." Two question marks appeared on Qiu Tu's head:? ? Shen Lingshuang explained with sobs, "When I woke up, I found that my house was in a mess, the door was broken, the roof was broken, and things were in a mess. I felt very uneasy and suspected that the worst possibility had happened." "After that, I looked for you everywhere, but I couldn't find any trace." "I asked Sister Xin, and Sister Xin said that you were fine, just out busy." "Although I didn't believe it, I still waited for you at home with the last bit of hope. Waiting for you." "As a result, I waited for a whole night and a morning, but I didn't see you come back. I was completely panicked." "Then I went out to find Laoying to ask about your true situation. I asked many people and finally found the Jiuxiang Street Security Office." "I asked someone to send a message in, and Laoying came out." "He saw me and said you were fine. I asked him to call you and let you know he was safe." "He said he didn't have a communicator and you were probably busy. He told me not to disturb you. He told me to go home and wait." "Maybe because I've been through too many disappointments since last night, and you didn't come back all night and for a day. I suspected that something really happened to you, and he and Sister Xin were worried that I would be sad, so they teamed up to deceive me." At this point, Shen Lingshuang's tears came down again, and she choked and said, "I've seen too many things." Maybe because she thought that the disaster awakening was a secret, she was vague for a moment, "I've seen too many things happen." "I'm really too sad, too sad." At this point, she lay on Qiu Tu and cried again. After listening to Shen Lingshuang's story, Qiu Tu really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He felt that it was no wonder that Shen Lingshuang thought too much. The disaster awakening was originally a very low probability event, but after he awakened, he ran out and didn't come back all night and didn't come back for another day. If he was Shen Lingshuang, he would probably think about it too much. He couldn't help but blame himself a little. I've been slacking off all day today, how come I forgot to come back and report that I'm safe? Thinking of this, his heart softened. He hugged Shen Lingshuang and patted her gently, and then his mood was a little complicated. Originally, when he knew that Shen Lingshuang was wearing mourning clothes and burning yellow paper for him downstairs, he thought Shen Lingshuang was playing there, or cursing him. After all, it was normal for a young lady to suddenly get upset. As a result, he didn't expect Shen Lingshuang to be really worried about him. This silly girl. He and she have only known each other for a few days, and it is worth her being so sad. "Swish--" Just when Qiu Tu was thinking about this, a whistle suddenly came from upstairs. Qiu Tu looked up.
He saw that on the window of the corridor upstairs, A Tai, Old Eagle, A Kun and others were smiling and looking downstairs, clearly watching the fun. Qiu Tu pointed at them helplessly, feeling that he really met a group of bad friends. Maybe she was tired of crying. After crying for a while, Shen Lingshuang fell asleep in Qiu Tu's arms like a koala. The girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old and thin, and Qiu Tu was a Cataclysm, so his body was greatly strengthened, and he could hardly feel her weight. So, Qiu Tu did not disturb her, just kicked the brazier and black and white photos aside, and then carried the girl upstairs. When they came upstairs, several brothers were waiting there, looking at the two of them with a joking look on their faces, with a smirk on their faces. Qiu Tu glared at them, carried Shen Lingshuang back to the room, and gently put her on his bed. Old Eagle was still very reliable. The door that was originally broken by Qiu Tu had been replaced with a new one. And it was an iron door. After closing the iron door and coming to the corridor, Old Eagle and several others leaned against the window. Seeing Qiu Tu coming out, Old Eagle handed Qiu Tu a cigarette and whispered, "That's a good girl." "She wore mourning and burned paper for you this afternoon as your wife." Qiu Tu held the cigarette in his mouth, paused for a moment, and then struck the match again. "Crack~" The flame burned, Qiu Tu lit the cigarette in his mouth, and then said lightly, "Don't think too much. She thinks that if something happens to me, it means she killed me and should be responsible for me." "Plus the trauma in her heart, she is so sensitive about this matter." Hearing the conversation between the two, the big guy Atai poked his head out from behind and interrupted, "What kind of reason is this. Brother Tu, I bet my father's life that the girl likes you 100%." Qiu Tu didn't say anything and continued to smoke quietly. Old Eagle looked up at Qiu Tu and smiled. Even Atai, who is a stubborn person, can see it, Qiu Tu can't fail to see it, obviously just being stubborn. But Qiu Tu is the eldest brother of several people after all. If he doesn't want to express his opinion, it means he has his own ideas, so Old Eagle also changed the topic at the right time. He looked at Atai and asked, "Brother Tai, how have you been doing in the Special Service Department these two days?" Hearing what Old Eagle said, Atai was immediately excited. He waved his two strong arms and said, "Needless to say?! Where is my A-Tai not the first?" "Old Eagle, I tell you, none of those agents in the training team can match me!" "I think, in a few days, I will be promoted. Then I can help Brother Tu do more things." Qiu Tu looked at A-Tai and felt that it was a bit fake. He looked at Old Eagle and A-Kun and got the same answer. But they knew A-Tai's character well, so they didn't question it. After all, A-Tai is the most face-conscious person. I remember that once A-Tai was bragging when he was drinking, saying that he caught a chicken with his bare hands in an alley that day. Old Eagle was also drunk at that time and questioned his bragging. New Territories City is so poor that even a fallen bird can be eaten by people, so how could there be a living chicken.
As a result, in those days, whenever A-Tai saw Old Eagle, he would drag him to that alley to take a look. Qiu Tu didn't ask how the matter was finally resolved, but he knew that the two seemed a little weak during that period. So, after hearing what A Tai said, several people quickly responded, "Ah, yes, yes. My brother Tai is the best in the world." "Yes, how could those little Karas in the Special Service Department be a match for Brother Tai." "A Tai is really good." Seeing that the three people were praising him, A Tai grinned immediately. After talking about Atai's recent situation, Qiu Tu turned to look at Lao Ying and A Kun, and asked, "Don't just talk about Atai. Lao Ying, A Kun, how are you two doing now?" "Have you passed the screening of the political department?" Lao Ying nodded, and A Kun also said, "Brother Tu, don't worry. Brother Ying and I have passed the written test and interview." "The political department has notified us to report tomorrow." "But I don't know which department we will be assigned to." Qiu Tu smoked his last cigarette, nodded slightly, then he lowered his head to put out the cigarette butt and said, "I will meet with the people from the security department tonight." "They promised that they could arrange two people for me to join the military department." "When I have time tomorrow, I will get the brothers together and see who is suitable." Hearing Qiu Tu's words, the three were a little surprised. Young people who grew up together in troubled times knew from childhood that in this era of cannibalism, the power of individuals is too small, and only by sticking together can they survive. This truth flows in every drop of their blood even though they are adults now. Therefore, the stronger the small groups are, the safer they are and the better they can live in this era. "Let's do something big together!" Qiu Tu flicked away the extinguished cigarette butt and took the lead in extending his hand. A Tai, Eagle, and Kun also put their hands up one by one, "Let's do something big!" The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the four people, golden, as if foreshadowing the golden age they were about to create together... [Eagle loyalty +1, now loyalty: 91] [A Tai loyalty +1, now loyalty: 96] [Kun loyalty +2, now loyalty: 87] Shen Lingshuang stayed up late and was frightened all night, maybe she was really tired. So, she slept until more than 9 o'clock before she got up in a daze. The first thing she did when she got up from the bed was to look for Qiu Tu's figure. At this time, Qiu Tu had sent A Tai, Eagle, and Kun away. And exchanged all the guns and communicators back, completely eliminating the hidden dangers of last night. So, she was sitting by the bed quietly thinking about the next plan.
Hearing Shen Lingshuang getting up, Qiu Tu came back to his senses, turned his head to look at her, and asked softly, "Are you awake? Are you hungry?" Seeing Qiu Tu by her side, Shen Lingshuang was obviously relieved. She regained her original ladylike temperament, lay down on the bed, then pouted and said proudly, "I'm not hungry." Qiu Tu smiled at this and didn't get angry with the little girl. He went to the living room to bring the food back. Of course the food was cold, but no one cared so much in troubled times. Although Shen Lingshuang's mouth was hard, her brain was not bad. Seeing Qiu Tu bring the food, she immediately said with a smile, "You begged me to eat this." Since she sat up from the bed, picked up the chopsticks and started to eat heartily. Seeing her cute appearance, Qiu Tu smiled and sat aside to watch her eat quietly. The little girl must have suffered a lot during this period, so she ate the food voraciously, and her cheeks were bulging like a hamster. Qiu Tu went to get her a glass of water and comforted her to eat slowly. It was not until she was almost full and slowed down that Qiu Tu slowly spoke, "Ling Shuang, when I asked you to refine the [Disaster Potion], I had a verbal agreement with you."
