Chapter 254 Mummy
Chapter 254 Mummy
After being thoroughly misled by Hei Xiazi, Zhang Tata finally succumbed to temptation and signed her name on the paper that was written as an 'employment contract' but read as a 'contract of servitude'.
Hei Xiazi even went so far as to take out a box of inkpads and grab the other person's only remaining fingerprint finger to make a signature.
Now everyone has a clear understanding of how easily this person can be fooled; he really is very easy to fool!
………………
Hidden deep in the mountains, the clear lake is like a mirror set in the emerald green. A gentle breeze blows, and the lake surface ripples. Under the sunlight, it sparkles and shimmers, like a dream.
A delicate little boat drifted gently in the center of the lake, wisps of warm, sweet-smelling steam rising slowly into the air.
On the lakeshore, several workers moved with practiced ease, and every step of setting up the tents was done in an orderly manner. Before long, the tents were firmly erected.
Two men were left to pack up the tools, while the others began to refine the details of the tent, striving to make the master and the other gentlemen comfortable and at ease.
Just then, several short-haired big cats, each carrying bloody prey in their mouths, suddenly leaped out of the forest and gracefully strolled toward this direction.
Behind these lynxes, which resemble large cats, is a humanoid creature wrapped in gauze, looking like a mummy.
Clearly, these humanoid creatures resembling rice dumplings are more likely to instill fear in people than wild beasts attacking the camp.
However, the two men who remained behind had lost their fear and even waved to the newcomer, even though the other party only gave them a cold look.
Several lynxes placed their prey at the feet of the two companions, then continued to stroll along with their owners toward the lake.
He found a flat rock to sit on, and several lynxes obediently squatted down around him. The man and the animals quietly watched the small boat on the lake.
A gentle breeze blew by, lifting his... gauze hair. He felt the breeze through the gauze and surprisingly found this kind of life quite pleasant.
He was lost in thought for an unknown amount of time, so long that he didn't even notice the small boat docking, until a warm, sweet scent wafted from his nose.
The boy with a bright smile, his ponytail swaying, handed him a cup of warm milk tea.
Seeing that he was stiff and didn't seem inclined to take it, Su Li tilted her head and thought for a moment. Looking at his mouth, which was wrapped in gauze with only a small opening for eating and breathing, she magically produced a straw and inserted it into the cup.
Faced with the milk tea offered to her again, Zhang Tata hesitated before reaching out to take it, nodding to Su Li as a thank you, and then taking a small sip through the thin straw.
The rich, warm liquid filled my mouth, and with a slight warmth, it slid down my esophagus towards my stomach, making me feel so comfortable that I wanted to let out a sigh.
The lynxes that had been sitting around him had somehow changed positions and were now surrounding the refined and handsome young man, each one seemingly vying for his favor, offering their heads and fragile necks to him.
Wu Xie enjoyed this sweet burden, his eyes crinkling with a smile as he petted each of the big cats, then picked one up and carried it to Zhang Qiling's arms. (To be honest, the more I look at Xiao Tianzhen's skill, the more it reminds me of Nangong Wenya. Nangong Wenya, whoever she touches becomes a fool...)
Surrounded by a group of whimpering cats, Zhang Qiling gently stroked the large cats, a slight smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips.
After delivering the warmth, Su Li saw the two 'chief surgeons' come over to check on the patient's recovery. She patted her bottom, turned around, and went to find her own beauty flower to apply.
The wound, still pinkish-red from the recent removal of the polyp and in the healing process, resembled a tiny worm crawling on the skin. He decided against challenging his nerves.
Xie Yuchen was sitting in front of several monitors, fiddling with a few books on basic guqin explanations. When he saw Su Li coming over, he slightly turned his body to make room for him.
Su Li didn't disturb Xie Yuchen's studies; instead, she focused on looking at the tiny dots in completely different positions on the two monitors.
Looking at the location notes on the monitor's map, and seeing the movement trajectory of the green dot, it seemed that old man Jude Kao wasn't planning to take the normal route, but instead intended to enter the country through his smuggling route for cultural relics and firearms.
"Isn't that perfect? We can just secretly arrest them and save the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from having to argue with the other side."
Even if the top officials of both countries are aware of the situation, there are no official records of the other party's entry and exit. If you, an illegal immigrant, get lost, you can't blame us.
If you're really going to use this as a reason to cause us trouble, then don't blame us for having to provide you with a list of illegal immigrants here.
Su Li looked at Hei Xiazi, who had moved closer to her. "You finished the examination so quickly?"
"Of course, you can tell if someone's got skills as soon as they make a move." Black Bear proudly adjusted his glasses, revealing a set of perfectly white teeth.
"It is said that the Zhang family, the mute man, has a really abnormal constitution."
Fatty and I cut away all the polyps left by the corrosion all over the kid's body, and we spent a lot of effort on both shoulders.
"A normal person might need two or three months to recover, but this kid is amazing. It's only been a few days, and he's already bouncing around and leading us into the mountains."
Although the skin and flesh have not fully healed, and the shoulder still needs a long period of rest, the recovery ability is already quite good compared to the average person.
A family with Qilin blood is truly extraordinary.
After sighing, Hei Xiazi looked at Zhang Qiling, who was petting the cat with Wu Xie.
In comparison, the mute man's physical condition had deteriorated to a certain extent a few years ago. At that time, the recovery ability shown by him, the patriarch with the strongest bloodline in the family, was not even as strong as that of Zhang Tata, who was from his maternal family.
Thinking this, Su Li and Hei Xiazi exchanged a glance, their hands itching. They missed a certain guy who was holed up in the New Moon Hotel, eating and waiting to die. They wondered how well that guy's body had recovered and whether he could withstand their warm greetings.
Zhang Rishan: Don't come any closer!!!
Fatty Wang re-bandaged Zhang Tata's shoulder, which had just been dressed, took out a small pill he had made himself, looked at its size, then at the 'cherry lips' wrapped in gauze, and casually tossed it into the milk tea cup that Zhang Tata had placed aside.
Zhang Tata: ? ? ? ? ?
The black medicine dissolved in the brown milk tea, and the sweet aroma of the milk tea combined with the bitter aroma of the medicine to give off a strange smell that wasn't unpleasant.
Although I haven't had much contact with the outside world for many years, is this way of eating really reasonable?
I've been to school too, so don't try to fool me!
