Flowers, thank you
Although the afternoon sun in Sea City Base was a bit harsh, Gao Lei, who was protected by the Yin and Yang Yuan Qi, was not afraid at all. He leaned against the stone block and narrowed his eyes, thinking about a few ways to make money quickly in a short time.
One was to do detective missions. With his innate supernatural power, the Great Art of Universe Foreseeing, there was no case that he couldn't find. However, the troublesome thing was that he didn't know where to accept the mission. He couldn't put up a small advertisement on the street, and it was also troublesome to post it on the Internet. There was no way to confirm the business information, and the commission was not guaranteed. The employer might not be interested in a lone ranger like him.
The second was to go to the red-light district in the city to be a bouncer. However, once he got involved in this road, it would not be easy to quit. He did not want to get involved with the underworld and make his father, who was not in good health, worry about something happening.
The last option was to rob. He would set up an ambush in a few underground casinos in Sea City Base and make a killing when he saw a fat customer. Although the risk was high and very dangerous, with his current ability, he was confident that he could escape unscathed by using the small magical power, Spatial Bending.
Of course, he could only do this if he had no other choice. If he could find a temporary translation job in the remaining ten days of this month, then there was no need. Although he knew that the hope was very slim, Gao Lei still wanted to work hard.
While he was thinking about something, he suddenly felt a person beside him. Gao Lei was startled. If he wasn't too focused on thinking about something, with his current senses, even a mosquito within ten meters wouldn't be able to escape his eyes and ears.
Gao Lei turned his head and saw a thin figure in a white dress with blue flowers leaning against him. He relaxed his vigilance and suddenly felt a strong sense of pity for her. He knew this girl who was as beautiful and cute as a porcelain doll but had a dull expression. She was the daughter of the lady boss of the grocery store on the first floor. Her name was White Snow. She was seven years old this year and naturally couldn't speak.
Speaking of Snowy, Gao Lei remembered the first time he came here to rent a house two years ago during the summer vacation. Snowy was bullied by a group of children in the village that day. She was alone and shivering in a corner. Gao Lei, who was passing by, saw this poor little girl who had the same experience as him when he was young. He suddenly felt infinite pity in his heart. After chasing away the children, he carried Snowy back to the place where he had just rented.
He gently bathed her, applied medicine on her, and comforted her. Even though he knew that she was a little mentally retarded, he patiently coaxed and comforted her. When Snowy's mother came to pick her up, Snowy hugged Gao Lei with tears in her eyes and refused to let go. Gao Lei had no choice but to carry her and move to their current residence. Since then, Snowy had been very clingy to him. He also loved this poor porcelain doll girl very much.
Snowy's mother, Sun Shuhui, was a descendant of a Han son-in-law in the Miao village of Xishuangbanna in Yunnan Province. She was half Miao. She was born beautiful and beautiful. When she was in her teens, she was famous for her beauty. Not only was she beautiful and kind, but she was also clever and skillful. She was a famous embroidery expert in the Miao village. Such a beautiful, kind and virtuous woman was unfortunately unlucky. When she was 20 years old, she met Bai Yugang, who was in the medicinal herbs business. Facing the handsome, elegant and versatile Bai Yugang, she said, Sun Shuhui was soon lost in love. Ignoring the opposition of her relatives, she eloped with her sweetheart.
After eloping with Bai Yugang and returning to Haicheng, the two of them formed a happy family. Bai Yugang worked hard outside while Sun Shuhui stayed at home to do housework. They lived a happy life, but it didn't last long. Their daughter was born with a congenital disability. In order to treat her daughter, the couple went to various hospitals. In the beginning, Bai Yugang was a responsible husband, but as time passed, things changed completely. He didn't like his daughter to begin with. In addition to the instigation of the family's sinister wind and ghost fire, she slowly began to show her true nature. She spent her time drinking and occasionally came back with a fierce nose and a sharp eye. She even beat Sun Shuhui and her mother. After accidentally kicking Snowy unconscious, Snowy's head was damaged and she became mentally handicapped.
In order to let her daughter have a complete family, Sun Shuhui silently endured the humiliation and gritted her teeth to maintain this family that was broken at the slightest touch. Three years ago, Bai Yugang's drug smuggling deeds were exposed and he was arrested. He was sentenced to death in the first trial. Before he could appeal, he was killed in the detention center. After Bai Yugang died, not only did Xiao Xue and her daughter not get relief, but they also lived even more miserably. Her husband's brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunties came to make trouble every now and then. He insisted on forcing Sun Shuhui to hand over the money that Bai Yu had hidden from selling drugs. If he didn't, he would hit and smash things. He even ruined Sun Shuhui's reputation on the street. His brother-in-law coveted Sun Shuhui's beauty, voluptuous sexiness, and seductive body. From time to time, he would come to harass her with a few hooligans. If it weren't for the fact that the landlord had some prestige in this area, he wouldn't have been able to survive.
Although Snowy was a little delirious, she was afraid of strange things and lacked fatherly love since she was young, so she was very close to Gao Lei. As long as Gao Lei was in the street, she would find him no matter where he was, as if there was an invisible line connecting them to each other.
Gao Lei picked up the thin and weak Xiao Xue. Looking at her dirty little face, he gently helped her wipe the dirt. Looking at her big, lifeless eyes, he felt sad. If his cultivation was higher, he might have a way to cure her. Unfortunately, he could not do anything now. He sighed softly, hugged her small body, and looked at the sea silently.
At this time, a silver-white Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly drove up from the exit of the small street. It stopped not far from the dock. An extremely tall and burly middle-aged man in a white shirt and red tie came out of the driver's seat. He quickly went to the back and respectfully opened the door.
An old man with white hair and a youthful face came out of the car. He was in high spirits, and his eyes were sometimes sharp and sometimes cloudy. His entire body emitted a unique and majestic aura. The old man was not tall, but he was strong and sturdy. He did not look old at all. He wore a blue short-sleeved Tang suit with white peony patterns and white loose training pants. His entire temperament and appearance were really the style of a true cultivator and an expert.
" Third Master, there's a small fish. Do you want it?" The burly man was stopped by the old man before he could finish speaking.
The old man took the fishing rod, fishing basket, and folding stool from the burly man's hands and looked at the burly man and said," You guys, don't shout and kill all day long. This won't become a big deal. This place isn't ours, so why can't they come? I'm here to fish, not to kill people. It's really disappointing."”
The old man scolded him harshly, but the burly man was not angry. Instead, he bowed even more respectfully to receive the lecture.
"All of you can go back. Tell Miss that the old man has invited a few old fellows for a drink today and won't be going back tonight.”After saying that, the old man carried his equipment and walked leisurely to the dock.
Knowing the old man's temper, the burly man helplessly got into the car and drove to the side street.
The old man walked to the dock and set up a big umbrella in front of Gao Lei. He placed a folding stool, put down his backpack, set up the fishing gear and bait, and began to set up the bait nest. After setting up the fishing rod, he didn't care anymore. He picked up the white jade wine pot beside him and sipped the Bejewelled Nectar. While drinking, he sized up the two of them from the corner of his eye.
The little girl didn't seem to mind. Although she was beautiful and cute, she didn't matter to the old man at all. Instead, the young man who didn't care about his surroundings and had a casual and natural temperament piqued the old man's interest. Just now, when the big man said something unkind, the old man suddenly felt the mountain-like pressure from this ordinary-looking young man. The pressure that was mixed with the endless aura of death only flashed for a moment. However, the old man felt as if he had walked through the netherworld. That bone-chilling chill was so cold that even his firm will, which had experienced countless bloody storms, was terrified at that moment. He knew that he had encountered an expert, so he felt that he had stopped the burly man's wild behavior.
What a joke. Gao Lei had inherited his imposing manner from the God of the Underworld, who was so powerful even in the Divinity. With Gao Lei's current state of mind, he could even intimidate a Golden Core Qi Refinement Warrior, let alone a mortal. Originally, Gao Lei did not want to cause trouble and kept a low profile. However, he was not afraid of trouble.
In such a quiet and weird atmosphere, Snowy's stomach started to rumble when she smelled the aroma of the old man. The old man burst out laughing and tore off a large piece of beef and handed it to her." You must be hungry. Come, have a taste of grandpa's special sauce beef. You can't get this good food outside."”
Snowy shrank into Gao Lei's arms in fear. Her little head was buried in Gao Lei's chest, and her little body was trembling. Her little appearance was so pitiful.
Gao Lei patted Snowy's little head lovingly and smiled apologetically to the old man." Old man, please don't mind her. This child was injured when she was young. She's a little confused and is afraid of strangers.”
"It's okay, it's okay. Little brother, don't be sad. This is all fate.”The old man laughed heartily.
"Yeah, this is fate." Gao Lei sighed. It was unknown whether he was sighing at himself or the poor little thing in his arms.
Looking at Gao Lei's unintentionally revealed ancient aura and the deep look of nostalgia in his eyes, the old man's heart shook even more, and the reverence in his heart increased a little. He suddenly recalled the magical old Taoist priest he met when he was young. That aura and strength of character were as mysterious as facing the world, and they were so similar to the young man in front of him. He couldn't help but become excited and fanatical.
Feeling the subtle changes and rapid breathing of the old man, Gao Lei said lightly,"Old man, the fish has taken the bait."”
The old man was stunned. He turned around and saw that even the fishing rod had been pulled into the sea. However, how could he still have the heart to fish now? His heart, which had been fluctuating for a long time, was now as fanatical as a volcanic eruption.
