Chapter 32
When Mang Ming pushed his fish out of the airport, the stone sculpture that was as long as a forearm in Bei Fan's hand had already been gnawed bald by him, and there was not even a single corner of the beautiful purple crystal embedded in it. , I only saw a bare stone, which no longer has a little collection value.
So before walking out of the airport, under the guidance of Mang Ming, Bei Fan threw the stone parabola into the trash can. Because of the large error of the aim, not only failed to throw it into the trash can, but smashed the iron bucket out. made a concave.The destruction immediately scared the fish back, and Bei Fan showed the uneasiness of having done something wrong, carefully looking around for fear of being seen.
"It's okay," Mang Ming looked at his little expression, and patted his head fondly, "I can't buy you a basketball hoop in the future, we practice shooting every day, and one day we will improve. It’s not littering everywhere. Although the accuracy is checked a little this time, the strength is a little stronger, but the focus is on practice, and everyone will forgive you.”
After the human's explanation, Bei Fan finally felt relieved. He rubbed his stomach after eating several hamburgers and replenishing the crystal stone full of aura, feeling somewhat satisfied.
At the same time, just after Mang Ming and Bei Fan walked out of the terminal, the people who met the two at the airport just now, and had a conversation with them, found it strange that when trying to recall the appearance of the two of them... But some can't remember.
It is very strange that he clearly remembered what he said and did with them just now, but he suddenly forgot what their faces looked like. It's vague and unimpressive.
People who are also from the Taoist sect have higher sensitivity. After thinking about it after realizing something is wrong, they can probably guess that it is the disguise made by Mang Ming.Obviously his behavior is so high-profile, but he is not allowed to be remembered by others.
This is really a kind of high-end low-key with a different approach, and it can be regarded as a veritable shameless in another sense, which extremely effectively reduces the sense of presence in the crowd.
The ghostly flight encountered at Jiangcheng Airport delayed Man Ming's journey home with the fish. When they left the airport smoothly, it was almost eleven o'clock. Chuanshi, it will be at least four o'clock in the morning when we get there.
Mang Ming was afraid that his father would stay up late and wait for a long time, so he quickly called his family and told them that there was an accident at the airport here, don't wait for him to spend the holiday together, go to bed early.
Since they couldn't return to Huchuan City by plane, the fastest way they could choose was to drive back at high speed.However, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, when family members are reunited, not many drivers work outside, and even fewer are willing to go to Linshi.
So Mang Ming found out his driver's license, and planned to rent a car and drive back by himself.Fortunately, Jiangcheng's airport was designed to be very friendly and convenient to the people. He pushed the wheelchair with Yu and took the shuttle bus to the car rental center at the airport. He quickly rented out a car and prepared to drive back to Huchuan City himself.
Bevan is still not very familiar with vehicles as a means of transportation for humans, but as long as he doesn't need to crawl on the ground by himself, he is fine.Mang Ming carried him to the co-pilot, and carefully fastened his seat belt. After thinking about it, he grabbed all the snacks from the wheelchair drawer and put them on Bevan's blanket.
Mang Ming boarded the car on the other side of the car, and said to Bei Fan who was already eating with his paws: "We have to drive for more than four hours, and when we arrive... I am afraid it will be tomorrow."
He glanced at the time and thoughtfully said, "Baby, if you're sleepy, go to sleep first."
As Mang Ming ignited and started the engine, the car drove on the road and merged into the passing vehicles. While eating, Bei Fan pressed his face to the cold and transparent car window.
"I won't be sleepy," Bei Fan is still unfamiliar with human cities. He stared at the colorful urban night scene outside with surprise on his face, and patted his chest and vowed, "Hey, do you underestimate me? I used to be in the lake Sometimes, I often catch fish in the water without sleeping all night, and this small matter of staying up late is not a problem for me at all.”
Thirty-ten minutes later, Yu, who was sleeping swayingly from the co-pilot, used his waist to wrap the seat belt that he didn't understand, and then turned across his body and lay down on Mang Ming's lap.
Thanks to the fact that the car that Mang Ming rented is an automatic transmission, the shift position is not the usual pusher type, but a new button-type shifter in the shape of a large bottle cap, so Bei Fan's body lying on it, I won't feel sick.
If you rented a push-rod car, it might make this fish sleepless, but it's hard to say.Mang Ming glanced at the fish's overly soft waist, knowing that he would use all kinds of strange postures to stuff his body through corners that were difficult to pass.
It coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, and most of the people on the road have either gone home for the festival or are on their way home for the festival. There are far fewer cars on the road than in the past.Mang Ming drove on the road, and the houses on both sides gradually became scarce. Except for a row of street lights on the road, there were dark crop fields and tree shadows beside him, and there was only the sound of the wind around.
Mang Ming knew very well that before 24:00 tonight, he would not be able to rush home to celebrate with his family. The arrangements were well planned, but they were interrupted by an accident, and he missed the day of reunion with his family. Regrettably.
There was no family around him, and it was supposed to be a very lonely night, but he only felt peaceful and happy, without a trace of loneliness.
Because there was a fish head lying on his lap, he slept like a dead dog. Even when he stepped on the brakes to cross the curve when turning, and then changed his foot and continued to step on the accelerator, he couldn't wake up the fish at all.
So the night became warmer, and people would no longer be lonely. Under the quiet moonlight, one person and one fish embarked on their way home.
By the time they entered Huchuan City and drove back to Mang Ming's house, it was already past four o'clock in the morning.Mang Ming was very busy before to pick up the big-tailed fish, and he didn't get enough sleep. After a toss at Jiangcheng Airport, he stayed up all night and drove all night. No matter how energetic he was, he felt tired at this time.
He put his hand under Bei Fan's waist, quietly put the parking gear on, and unbuckled Bei Fan's seat belt, quietly looked at Bei Fan who was using his leg as a pillow, and fell asleep unconsciously.
And his own home is still lighting up for him, obviously someone is waiting, he doesn't want to wake up Bevan, he takes off his suit jacket and folds it into a pillow, and puts it on Bevan's pillow instead of his own leg, puts him down lightly, alone got out of the car.
Wen's mansion is a mountain villa surrounded by mountains and rivers. Fengshui is very good at gathering energy to support people. On weekdays, Mang Ming's father lives here. The villa has always prepared rooms for Mang Ming and his compatriot brother Wen Ling. On holidays and when the brothers are not busy, they will come back to live for a few days on average every week to accompany their father who is alone at home.
When Mang Ming walked into the entrance, he found that his brother Wen Ling hadn't slept the whole time, sitting on the sofa in the living room with his sleeves rolled up, concentrating on the business on the computer.
The headlights were not turned on in the living room, so Mang Ming said unexpectedly: "Brother, are you awake, or have you stayed up all night?"
"I drank some wine with my dad last night, and then I took care of business. I didn't save any, and it was already dawn." Wen Ling glanced at the time, and finally put away the computer, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is over, you A big man is long overdue."
"It's true that there was a breakdown at Jiangcheng Airport, and all flights for that night were temporarily canceled."
Mang Ming briefly explained the reason, and changed the subject, "You have several jobs, and you forget the time when you are working. You should be more careful in the future, after all, staying up late will hurt your health."
The relationship between the two of them has eased recently, and it is rare to have such a calm and peaceful conversation like now. After receiving Mang Ming's initiative to show his favor, Wen Ling couldn't help but keep his face sullen, and softened his expression, "Since you know I'm busy, You should go back to the company to help. The company at home will always have a part of you, so what kind of ancient Chinese is it?
Mang Ming put on his slippers, straightened his body, and looked at the car outside the window without any trace, and saw that Bei Fan inside seemed to be still asleep, and there was no movement, which made him feel relieved. "Brother, I still have half a year to graduate, let's talk about it later."
He seemed to mention it unintentionally: "By the way, does Uncle Ying really want the residential planning contractor in the new area of Jiangcheng?"
Wen Ling nodded, "In the past two years, Ying's Real Estate has not taken over any successful projects. The company's profit report is not satisfactory, and the stock price has dropped a lot. I have been paying attention to this project. If I can get it The Jiangcheng government's new area bidding, such good news, will definitely make the market value of Ying's real estate rebound."
Mang Ming also nodded, "Yes, during the years when Brother Xiao Li was away, the heavy business operations of Ying's Real Estate have returned to the two elders, and their health is not good. They have been a little tired these years... I can understand Brother, you will help them when they are too busy, but you are not a winner after all, and it is indeed a bit unfair to do so, and people outside are talking about it."
"...Based on the relationship between me and Xiao Li, what's wrong with my reputation?"
Contrary to Mang Ming's expectation, Wen Ling's expression turned cold with just this one sentence, "Mang Ming, whatever outsiders say is not worth my attention, but I didn't expect that even you have such an attitude. "
Mang Ming sighed in his heart, Brother Xiao Li had been gone for almost three years, but Wen Ling still looked like he hadn't come out of the past, everyone said that time heals everything, but no one knew how long it would take.
As Mang Ming walked into the living room, under the dim light, Wen Ling finally saw clearly the appearance of his own brother.
The suit jacket was lost somewhere, and the white trousers were so wrinkled that it was impossible to see. A conspicuous scratch on Mang Ming's neck could be seen inside the collar of Mang Ming's casually opened shirt.
Wen Ling immediately looked very disgusted, and frowned tightly.
"Is this the reason why you can't go home on time for the holidays?" Wen Ling's face was full of unexpected anger, "You're so busy fooling around with people that you don't even have time to spend the holidays with Dad?"
Mang Ming, who was scolded by his brother, was a little dumbfounded. He suddenly remembered what was on his neck—it was the paw that Befan gave him when he was upset when he was washing the fish's tail in the bathtub.
Especially after the toss at Jiangcheng Airport, his suit was already in a mess, especially his pants were rolled by a fish for a long time just now, and they were so wrinkled that they couldn't be seen.
During the three years after Yingli's death, Mang Ming could hardly understand his brother's all kinds of wickedness towards him, but now he was so wronged, and he felt angry in his heart, and said coldly: "I didn't talk to anyone. fool around."
"Dad said that he saw you having a room with someone with his own eyes. Isn't this called fooling around?"
Mang Ming was speechless.He felt that his brother was as unreasonable as if he had taken gunpowder today.
Does staying up late really make people angry?
He did open a room, but he took a room with a fish. He had no criminal intent but no criminal facts.Even the species are different, even if he thinks about it, he doesn't know where to start, let alone raising fish now, with the same meticulous maintenance as raising a son, and the same dedication as serving his ancestors, how can he succeed in committing a crime?
Wen Ling had already got up, picked up his coat and walked out, looking like he was unwilling to say a word to his brother, his expression was different, and he sneered extremely meanly: "I really admire you, I want to seduce someone When you get tired of playing, you will throw it away without any psychological burden, and you will move forward in life without any burden or conscience."
Hearing this, Mang Ming also became angry, and he frowned, "Be reasonable, when will I seduce... What are you talking about?"
"You are so heartless, sometimes I really envy you." Wen Ling sneered, and the irony in his tone pierced people's heart, "Sometimes thinking about it, I really feel worthless for..."
Wen Ling, who was vague, strode away from Wen's villa, and went straight to the parking space outside to get his sports car.
He passed by the car Bevan was in, and Mang Ming, who was scolded by his brother in a daze, suddenly became nervous.
He was really afraid that Bei Fan would suddenly protrude a fish tail from inside and show it to Wen Ling outside, then he really didn't know how to explain it.
But fortunately, the sleeping fish was unsteady, and it didn't feel a person passing by outside the car at all. I felt like the sky was falling and I continued to sleep. Anyway, I felt safe with Mang Ming on top.
Wen Ling, who happened to pass by the car, didn't look into the car window either, so in the dim sunlight, he didn't find the fish in charge who was brought by his younger brother to "fool around in the house" close at hand.
Wen Ling got on his sports car. The engine of the million-level luxury car started quite powerfully. He kicked the accelerator and the speed increased. After just a few seconds, the car disappeared from his field of vision.
Mang Ming was scolded for no reason. He didn't know what medicine his brother had taken wrongly. He rubbed his temple that was aching because of staying up all night. When he turned his head, he saw his own father looking at him on the stairs. How long have you been eavesdropping there.
Seeing the younger son's inquisitive gaze, Mang Ming's father pretended to be deaf and blind and didn't know anything, completely ignoring the turmoil between the two sons, and only asked kindly: "I heard about the situation at Jiangcheng Airport. There was an accident, and you didn't look well, did you stay up late and drive back?"
"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, we're the ones who just woke up Dad?" Mang Ming asked with a wry smile.
"No, it's almost five o'clock. When I usually get up, you know I always get up early." Mang Ming's father said in a calm tone, as if he meant something else, "There is no hurdle that cannot be overcome between brothers. I never care about things. Damn it, go back to the room and get some sleep, and then find a chance to have a good chat with your brother later, and everything will be fine if you talk about it. "
Mang Ming knew this was the truth, but he couldn't stay at home to sleep today, he couldn't take a fish out of the car in front of his father.
YouQi had just finished arguing with his brother, and they were still talking about such a topic. He always felt that if he hugged Befan out now, with a beauty in his arms who looked like he couldn't walk, he would be completely convinced that he was a flamboyant scumbag rumor.
"Because there is no traffic jam in the urban area, I have to go back to see my mentor later. It is safer to drive there earlier. I won't disturb Dad's rest today, and I will come to see you another day."
After chatting briefly with his father, when Mang Ming walked out of the mansion, he could already see the sky was getting brighter.
He returned to the car, quickly picked up the fish's head, sat down and put it on his lap, waved goodbye to his father pretending to be nonchalant, and drove away.
The author has something to say:
Yesterday's message, in the discussion of "can you afford it or not" and "steal this fish", one outstanding little clever ghost very confidently left a message: You should be sneaky, anyway, take a Mang Ming card Brush, not afraid at all.
Man Ming's reaction after hearing this: (╯'-╯︵┻━┻Bring back my fish!
