Chapter 178 Life-saving Things
Gu Wanxing has been very busy these days, dealing with the new store and the store in town.
The town had signed a two-year contract, so if I want to leave now, I have to sublet the house.
But it is really difficult to sublet.
I can only leave it temporarily empty until she is done with her work and see what else I can do.
The new store had been installed, and after paying the workers, she took her sister and Zhang Xiumei to the store.
It is already quite cold in the morning and evening, so you need to wear long sleeves, so all the clothes hanging are autumn clothes, long-sleeved shirts and long pants.
The summer clothes were almost cleaned up, so I set up a shelf at the door and piled them all together.
On the evening of September 24th, after Gu Wanxing finished his work, he drove to Bayuquan.
I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch up tomorrow morning.
If you drive yourself, it should take four or five hours to get there.
As expected, we set off at ten o'clock in the evening, and arrived at the pier at less than two o'clock.
The dock was brightly lit. There was no export trade in Bayuquan, and the cargo transported was bulk cargo, mainly coal. Later, on the basis of coal loading and unloading, steel and ore were also loaded and unloaded.
So there are people working at night, and the people working on this dock are undoubtedly hard laborers.
When she was little, Gu Tianming seemed to have come here.
Gu Wanxing parked the car in the open space at the dock entrance, so that it would not hinder the movement of large trucks or other people.
Lock the car, fold down the back seat, and enter the space.
I slept in the space until five in the morning, and when the alarm clock rang, I washed up and left the space.
Although he only slept for three hours, after drinking well water and resting in the space, his overall condition has recovered to the best.
As the sun rose, several cargo ships left and arrived at the dock.
Every time a ship came, she would focus her attention on it, fearing that Fu Zheng had gotten off that ship.
But she kept watching until evening, but there was no sign of Fu Zheng on either the cargo ship or the cruise ship at the dock.
This made her feel a little depressed.
Just as she came out of the space again, she habitually glanced at the dock and found that the stevedores had been replaced by the same group from last night.
However, there was an inconspicuous small cruise ship parked next to the big freighter.
The proportion is similar to that of a large passenger plane and a helicopter.
She took a bite of her potato wrap and thought, if he didn't come tonight, then she would go back.
You can't just keep waiting here, maybe their plans have changed.
As she was thinking this, she ate half of the potato pancake, and the tall figure she had been thinking about finally appeared on the dock.
The man was wearing a blue work suit that was so washed that it looked pale.
And there was another person following behind him, also wearing the same clothes.
Don’t ask why you can see so clearly. The answer is probably because you took a magic pill.
She quickly put the uneaten cake in her hand into the space and got out of the car to greet him.
But just as she was about to run into the dock, she was stopped by an old man who jumped out from the side and was not allowed to enter.
"Hello—I'm here—"
Gu Wanxing shouted towards the figure walking out of the darkness.
Fu Zheng looked in the direction of the sound and saw two people pulling each other under the light over there. He hurriedly said something to the person behind him and immediately ran over.
"I'm wondering what's wrong with you guys? Why are you yelling so late at night? If you have something to say, why don't you go home and tell me? Why do you have to come to me while I'm working? Don't you know that people are not allowed to enter the dock casually?"
The old man glared at Gu Wanxing and scolded him.
What I hate most are women who come to look for men in the middle of the night. Every payday, there will be a few of them who come to ask for money.
It was at this time that Gu Wanxing discovered that there was a small iron house behind the iron frame, which should be where the old man who watched over the dock lived.
She spent the whole day there without even seeing the house.
Fortunately, Fu Zheng came out.
The pier is quite far from here, and it took me three minutes to run over.
Only when Fu Zheng came over did the old man take back his hand that was blocking Gu Wanxing.
"Hurry up, don't delay the work." The old man said to Fu Zheng, and walked into his hut with his hands behind his back.
"When did you arrive?" Fu Zheng's black eyes were bright. Even though the light here was dim, Gu Wanxing could see the surprise in his eyes.
"I arrived last night. Come here."
Gu Wanxing didn't care about anything else and could only pull him towards the car. She wanted to try something incredible. If she failed, she would have to leave with only the small jade bottle.
Yes, she wanted Fu Zheng to recognize the jade pendant as her owner by dripping blood, saying that it was a Sumeru mustard seed. Isn’t that a storage space? She hoped it was what she thought.
And that’s what the ancient books say too. Until now, the jade pendant has been restless and keeps jumping around.
After Fu Zheng followed Gu Wanxing into the car, he realized belatedly that the young woman had driven the car by herself.
Thinking of this possibility, a layer of white sweat suddenly broke out on his back.
"You, drove here by yourself?" His tone couldn't help but rise. Looking at her sitting in the driver's seat, looking very proper, his heart suddenly rose to his throat.
Gu Wanxing didn't have time to pay attention to this now, and just responded indifferently: "Yeah."
She has 30 years of driving experience, so driving is no piece of cake for her.
Looking at the jade pendant that was still trembling slightly in his hand, Gu Wanxing mustered up his courage.
I was about to mention this, but when I turned around, I was met with a pair of angry eyes.
"What's wrong with you?" she asked, confused.
"When did you learn to drive?"
Fu Zheng gritted his teeth.
"It's been a long time, what's wrong? Is there a problem?" Gu Wanxing saw that his expression was very fierce, as if he was really angry, and she didn't dare to say that it was Lin Shan who did it for her.
I can only make up nonsense.
Fu Zheng met her flickering eyes and knew she was lying: "You are so bold. Do you know how dangerous it is to drive alone at night?"
He wouldn't even let her ride a motorcycle, but she had given him such a big 'surprise'.
"Surprised? Unexpected? I drove here by myself." Gu Wanxing laughed dryly and joked, trying her best to coax him not to get angry.
Fu Zheng pursed his lips and said nothing, turning his gaze out the window and ignoring everyone.
"These are secondary. I didn't come to see you to argue with you. I came to tell you something important."
Gu Wanxing said seriously.
Hearing this, Fu Zheng turned his head again, but his face was still gloomy.
"You know I'm a bit of a weirdo. I'm worried about you risking your life out there, so I thought of giving you something to save your life."
Fu Zheng: ...
He knew it was pills. That thing was so good, how could there be so many of them? He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
Seeing that his face was still dark, Gu Wanxing sighed and said, "This jade pendant is a good thing. Prick your finger with it. I need some blood. Hurry up."
Fu Zheng thought she was being superstitious and was about to refuse when he saw she had already prepared the needle.
"Go ahead. If you can't do it yourself, I'll do it."
As she said this, she was about to prick his finger.
Fu Zheng just let her do whatever she wanted, but seeing how serious she was, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth in the dark.
Fu Zheng didn't even frown when he saw the smallest needle. Gu Wanxing squeezed the blood from her index finger onto the jade pendant.
The jade pendant vibrated violently at first, like a fish that had been thirsty for a long time and then returned to the water.
It was not until she squeezed for the third time that the jade pendant stopped responding. However, a flash of white light suddenly burst out from the dark carriage, instantly illuminating the entire cab.
Although it was only a moment, Gu Wanxing still saw the shock in Fu Zheng's eyes.
