While Liu Yu was hailing a taxi, Zhuang Moxing took advantage of the opportunity to walk towards the rest area with Lingbao in his arms.
In the rest area, the old lady who helped Lingbao was very busy. Seeing the shoes and socks hanging out to dry, she simply checked the specialties she brought with her in bags to see if they were damaged or lost.
This was her first time in S City, and she came here to bring some local specialties for her newly married son and daughter-in-law. She brought a lot of specialties, but only one pair of shoes. Now she can only leave after the shoes are dry.
But the old lady was in a good mood and took this opportunity to check the goods.
The old lady was counting the local specialties when the sunlight in front of her eyes was suddenly blocked. She looked up and saw a young man with a distinctive appearance standing in front of her, holding a familiar baby in his arms.
"Oh, the little kid has found his parents, so grandma is relieved. Here, does the little kid's father want to eat dried bamboo shoots?" The old woman enthusiastically grabbed a handful of salty, spicy and fragrant dried bamboo shoots from a pile of local specialties with shaking hands.
Zhuang Moxing politely declined, and Lingbao felt even more guilty and didn't dare to accept it.
During the brief exchange, Zhuang Moxing thanked the old lady, but ignored Lingbao's special physique in the conversation.
The old woman waved her hands and laughed cheerfully, "It's nothing, you're welcome!"
Zhuang Moxing held the magic treasure and pondered for a moment. Then, under the old woman's puzzled eyes, he took out a talisman and said seriously, "Old woman, if you keep this talisman on you, it can ward off two disasters. This is my reward for you."
The old woman immediately put away her smile and solemnly reached out to take the yellow talisman. She was surprised that this little kid's father was so kind! He actually gave such a valuable gift.
A boy who looked like a college student was also taking a break. He was shocked to see that such a handsome guy was actually a feudal superstitious liar. He immediately shook his head and felt sorry for him. He felt sorry for how this guy with such good temperament could end up being a liar.
If he had this figure and temperament, let alone becoming a big star, he would at least be an internet celebrity earning a million a month.
But when he saw that the old lady didn't give him any money, he just complained in his heart but didn't meddle in her business and stepped forward to stop her.
The old woman opened her side pocket and carefully placed the talisman paper close to her body, muttering to herself, "This is a good thing. I'll hide it for now. I'll give it to my son and daughter-in-law when they come. I'm old now, and my life is not worth money."
Zhuang Moxing glanced at the old man's careful and meticulous movements, frowned slightly, and took out two talismans from the cloth bag he carried with him.
"You don't have to save them. These two are for your son and daughter-in-law."
Not to mention how the old man's son and daughter-in-law later despised this "feudal and outdated custom", Zhuang Moxing had already fulfilled his responsibility.
Liu Yu stopped a car over there and urged Zhuang Moxing to come over. Zhuang Moxing said nothing more, said goodbye to the old lady and got into the taxi.
Seeing Zhuang Moxing handing something to an old man, Liu Yu couldn't help but wonder, "What did you give that old man? He looked very happy. So you know someone in S City?"
Zhuang Moxing stared ahead with a cold, sharp look in his eyes, and replied succinctly, "To end a good deed."
The middle-aged driver in front stole a glance at the rearview mirror, wondering why young people nowadays talk in such a weird way.
Lingbao saw that his senior brother had been saying these few words for a long time, confusing his sister. He stretched out his little hand, took out a drawn talisman from his senior brother's bag, and showed it to Liu Yu like offering a treasure.
"My senior brother gave this to the old lady!"
On a thin piece of yellow paper were written red characters with smooth lines, as if written with iron strokes and silver hooks, like a dragon's pen moving like a snake. Although one could not understand the meaning, one could feel its power from the font.
But this is different from the one she got originally? The talisman she got originally had great effects, but the lines were ugly and the font was distorted.
Could this be a fake that’s all show and no substance?
I was confused. Could it be that the end of the world hasn't come yet and Zhuang Moxing hasn't acquired that ability yet?
Seeing Liu Yu staring at the talisman intently, Lingbao thought she liked it very much. She twisted her body anxiously in Zhuang Moxing's arms, rummaged through her cloth bag, and hurriedly took out the talisman she had drawn.
Her face was slightly red, and she held up a small stack of yellow talismans with red characters on them in a flattering manner, "Sister, look, Lingbao can also write. Sister, look at Lingbao's."
The taxi shook as it ran over a speed bump. Liu Yu's gaze shifted to the talisman Ling Bao had just taken out, and his eyes froze in a daze.
A long square symbol with ugly lines and distorted fonts.
Although the talisman paper was much smaller, the other details were exactly the same as the talisman that she once treasured!
Liu Yu suddenly realized something and vomited blood. It turned out that the trump card she had cherished so much was actually created by a three-year-old child...
She said that how could the extremely rare Zhuang Moxing talisman fall into her hands by chance? It turned out that Lingbao was using it for practice.
A slightly cold voice came from my ear: "In the past half month, the talismans painted by Lingbao have begun to show their effectiveness. Currently, one talisman can ward off one disaster. If the talismans in your bag are not enough to offset bad luck, these can also be used to prevent any shortages."
Liu Yu reached into his side pocket and found a folded talisman inside, which was obviously made by Zhuang Moxing.
The talisman had such an effect back then, so wouldn't Zhuang Moxing's real talisman be twice as effective? Liu Yu held the talisman tightly and reached out to take the stack of 10 "newbie talismans" handed over by Lingbao.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, let alone "god meat".
"Thank you Lingbao, I'll take it."
After being delayed along the way, the three of them finally arrived at the entrance of the alley at their destination two hours later.
Liu Yu got out of the car with his things, stood on the side of the road, and looked around at this place that was both familiar and unfamiliar, with mixed feelings.
Zhuang Moxing held Lingbao in his left hand and the luggage he had just taken off the car in his right hand, and said goodbye to Liu Yu: "Thank you for bringing us here. It's easy to find here. We'll say goodbye now."
Liu Yu waved her hand and refused. Fate had come to this point. If she let go, would the thigh she had in her hands fly away?
"Just call me Liu Yu. You don't have to be so polite. It's hard to find your magic treasure and your belongings. I'll help you look after your belongings and the magic treasure. Once you find the right door, come back. It will make up for the time you took a detour to the law firm to get my house key."
Zhuang Moxing looked at her quietly for two seconds, his eyes seemed to be able to see through all her tricks. Liu Yu looked normal, as if this "good intention" had no flaws at all.
"Then, thank you very much."
Liu Yu calmly took Lingbao's hand and watched the man walk into the alley.
It has to be said that Zhuang Moxing is a very cautious person. It takes a lot of effort to gain his trust. However, when Liu Yu felt the solid stack of talismans in his pocket, he smiled slyly and thought it was worth it.
The "little country bumpkin" Lingbao broke away from Senior Brother Bingshan's control, took Liu Yu's hand, and looked at the children's playground on the right side of the road with surprise.
This green belt is a public outdoor amusement park in the district, which contains many outdoor amusement facilities. In the eyes of the public, these things are common facilities, but in Lingbao's eyes, they are all new things.
Noticing Lingbao's eager eyes, Liu Yu let go of his little hand.
"Lingbao wants to play?"
Lingbao stood there with eyes full of anticipation, nodding vigorously.
"Then go ahead, but don't go too far. Stay within my sister's sight."
Lingbao jumped happily on the spot and quickly ran into the amusement area.
Liu Yu had stayed here for a few days in his previous life and knew that this small park was built by the government. It was not big, but big enough for the children nearby to play. He had not heard of any incidents before the end of the world, so the environment was relatively safe.
She could just take advantage of this time to call and reserve a warehouse. To quietly transfer the materials into the space, she needed a private warehouse, and a warehouse close to her residence was essential.
While Liu Yu was searching for a suitable warehouse on the Internet, Lingbao rushed into the amusement area and looked at the large toys that he had never seen before in a daze. There were many older brothers and sisters playing on each of them, and they looked very happy.
He rushed to a comprehensive slide excitedly, wanting to imitate the sister in front of him and climb up. Just as he took a short step, two boys who looked a few years older than him rushed out from the side, squeezed Lingbao down with their buttocks.
Lingbao has been staying in the temple with his senior brothers and master since he was a child. The old people who come to the temple also know his physical condition and only talk to him and never play with him.
So Lingbao, who had never come into contact with other children, had no idea what competition was. When he saw his brother rushing to go up, he just stepped aside.
As a result, after several attempts at different rides, Lingbao was unable to successfully ride on any of them and was completely unable to get on.
Lingbao didn't want to give in, and watched for an opportunity to try again. When he turned around, he saw several brothers who were taller than him playing something under a big tree, and they made surprised sounds from time to time.
He tilted his head curiously, ran over and mustered up the courage to greet him, "Brother, what are you playing?"
Lingbao has a cute little face that adults like. Although it's a little dark, her eyes are big and round, and her two deep dimples when she smiles can melt people's hearts. But this face that pleases adults may not be liked by children.
Several boys turned around to look at him and yelled at him fiercely, "We don't play with kids, go away!"
Just when the children turned sideways, Lingbao's clever detective stretched his neck and saw clearly what they were playing.
A dying little yellow dog was lying in the middle of the group of children. Its mouth was tied with a rope, and its burnt yellow hair was uneven, as if it had been burned by fire or cut by scissors.
The dog's fur was stained with bright red blood. A fat boy, taller than Lingbao, was squatting on the ground, poking the yellow dog with a sharpened wooden stick. Every time he poked the stick, a bloody hole appeared, and blood was oozing out.
