Night’s Nomenclature - Chapter 31
[31. Li’s Consortium]
When night falls, Qingchen skipping class seems to have become a habit.
It stands to reason that after skipping classes so many times, it is long overdue to call the parents.
But the key is that his head teacher, Du Yihong, has been taking leave. From the time-travel incident to the present, the other party has not shown a single face, and other classroom teachers will not pay attention to Qingchen.
So, skip class when you can, don’t hesitate.
After get off work hours, the narrow Xingshu Road is already lively, and there are stalls selling roasted sweet potatoes, watermelons, and cold dishes on both sides of the road.
When his mother, Zhang Wanfang, returned to her parents’ house, her father would take him to the street to eat a bowl of rice noodles that cost 1 yuan and 50 cents.
At that time, Qingchen felt that his father was too perfunctory, but looking back now, maybe that was the best time of his childhood.
At that time, his father didn’t gamble, his parents didn’t divorce, and his grandparents didn’t dislike him.
The rice noodles that were 15 cents at the time are now 15 yuan, and everything seems to be irreversible.
After he entered the No. 4 courtyard, he suddenly found two men squatting on the side of the road smoking a cigarette.
The sky was getting darker, Qing Chen couldn’t see the face of the other party, only the red spark of the cigarette butt was flickering.
Originally Qingchen thought that this was a mysterious organization to follow him to find him, because the other party’s expression was not normal, so he looked around from time to time.
But later he found that the other party didn’t respond at all when he passed by.
When Qingchen walked into the corridor, he smelled the fragrance from upstairs. Li Tongyun waited at his door early: “Brother, my mother is about to finish the meal. She asked me to wait for you here.”
“What if I’m studying in the evening, you don’t have to wait for me,” Qingchen touched Li Tongyun’s little head.
“You haven’t gone to the evening self-study these days,” Li Tongyun said and pulled up his sleeves and walked upstairs.
As soon as the door was opened, Qingchen saw that the furniture that had been smashed before was gone, and the house had changed from the decadent scene of the past, as if many things had been replaced with new ones.
Jiang Xue was busy wearing an apron in the kitchen, and said without turning her head when she heard the door open: “Is Qingchen here? Hurry up and sit down, there’s only one soup left.”
Qingchen looked at the table, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried yellow beef, minced sour beans, and hot and sour shredded potatoes, all of which looked delicious.
Compared to the bland meals in Prison 18, this is a real improvement.
“Aunt Jiang Xue, what are you celebrating?” Qingchen wondered.
Jiang Xue came out with the soup pot and said happily, “I told you before that a robotic limb clinic was opened in Li World.”
“Well, I heard you mentioned,” Qing Chen got up to help take the soup pot and put it on the table.
Jiang Xue returned to the kitchen to put rice and chopsticks: “I was worried about this clinic before, because I don’t inherit my memory when I traveled through the past, so people came to me and asked me to modify my mechanical limbs, and I didn’t know how to do it. ”
Qing Chen listened silently.
But I heard Jiang Xue continue: “Those who come to modify the mechanical limbs, all of them look fierce, and the security of No. 18 city is particularly poor at night, and it is not safe to walk on the street after 8 o’clock, so I have been still I’m quite worried.”
This is why Jiang Xue wanted to temporarily entrust Li Tongyun to Qingchen, because she herself didn’t know whether she could come back after crossing.
“But it’s alright now,” Jiang Xue said with a smile. “I don’t know what happened. People from Li’s consortium suddenly found my small clinic and said they wanted to buy shares.”
“Miss Li…” Qing Chen muttered to himself.
“I also told you that the consortium on the other side of the world is heaven. As long as it is an industry that the consortium has invested in, all those criminals will go around,” Jiang Xue sat happily at the dining table: “They not only gave me a The money, and I got a holographic neon sign with Lee’s logo, so I’m much safer in the world now.”
Qingchen laughed: “With the help of the Li Consortium,
That should really be celebrated.
”
“You don’t need to bother you now, and Xiaoyun’s grandparents don’t have to leave their hometown.” Jiang Xue was very satisfied with the current situation, she even said to Qingchen with a smile: “Didn’t you envy the transmigrators before, if One day you really cross over and come to the 18th city to find me, Aunt Jiang Xue may not be able to do anything else, but it is still possible to protect you.”
Qingchen sighed in his heart, he was really in City 18, but unfortunately he was in a situation that ordinary people couldn’t really help.
The dispute over the shadows of the Qing clan, and the inheritance of the knight organization, these two things have long gone beyond the cognition of ordinary traversers.
“By the way, Aunt Jiang Xue,” Qingchen asked, “Have those black-clothed men ever looked for you again?”
“They didn’t find me. I found them,” Jiang Xue said. “After entrusting Xiaoyun to you before, I thought about getting in touch to see if I could get their help in the inner world.”
Jiang Xue continued: “It’s just that they said that the organization has just been established, and it is difficult to play a role in the world, so they can’t help.”
After the meal, Jiang Xue went to wash the dishes, leaving Qingchen and Li Tongyun to sit at the table.
At this moment, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com Qing Chen suddenly asked, “You are also a transmigrator.”
Li Tongyun blinked and asked, “Brother Qingchen, what are you talking about?”
“Last time, you specifically asked your mother’s clinic name, but this time, the Li’s consortium invested in her clinic and protected her so intimately,” Qingchen said, “You can deny it, but I can also take these Clue to your mother.”
Li Tongyun was stunned in an instant: “Don’t tell mom!”
Qing Chen breathed a sigh of relief, he guessed correctly.
Before returning yesterday, he reviewed all his recent memories, and found something strange.
When Li Tongyun learned that her mother opened the clinic, her first reaction was not curiosity about the world, but asked her mother’s clinic name first, which was obviously intentional.
Therefore, he only used the opportunity of a transaction yesterday, and asked Li Shutong to come to the list of members of the Li Consortium.
It does have the name Li Tongyun in it.
Traveling between two worlds, name and body are their own, this is not wrong.
Qingchen asked in a low voice, “Why didn’t you tell your mother?”
“There are not many people in the world who dare to control me, but if I let my mother know, she will definitely control me on both sides,” Li Tongyun said cowardly: “Don’t tell my mother, I can give you money, I have a lot of pocket money in the world.”
Qing Chen said without hesitation: “I’m not a traveler, why do I need the money over there.”
Seeing what he said so simply, Li Tongyun wondered, “Aren’t you a transmigrator?”
“Of course not,” Qing Chen denied: “That…how much pocket money do you have in the world?”
Li Tongyun was stunned for a moment: “You want to cheat children’s money too!?”
Qing Chen: “…”
