Chapter 174 Return
Chang Ba took Chen Chuan to the station and said goodbye to him. Before getting on the train, Chen Chuan found a roadside telephone booth and called Cheng Zitong.
After the call was connected, Cheng Zitong asked, "Xiaochuan, is everything going well?"
Chen Chuanshuo said, "It went very smoothly, Teacher. I'm at the train station and will be back soon."
"That's good. Didn't you say a few days ago that the medicine was almost gone? I've been thinking about it these past two days. It's easy for me to get the medicine, but if it goes against the Mutual Aid Association, they will definitely come to check the whereabouts of the medicine and judge your progress in cultivation.
If I go in more often, I might be able to find some clues from the medicine you've consumed. You're coming back soon, so why not stop by a place to get some medicine? As for the money, you can owe it to me."
"Do you owe it?" Chen Chuan asked.
Cheng Zitong smiled and said meaningfully, "It's better to owe it for now. You can write an IOU first and settle it after this period is over."
Chen Chuan understood and said, "Okay, Teacher, where can I get it?"
Cheng Zitong said, "When you get to Shangbu City, look for a man named Lao Ou at a pharmacy called Fengji Pharmacy on Shufeng Street in the north of the city. I've already told him. When you get there, you can give me another call and I'll have him arrange for you. Grab your things and you can leave. Yeah, remember this place. If you need medicine in the future, you can come here to get it."
Chen Chuan said: "Okay, teacher."
He understood what Cheng Zitong meant. Once the mutual aid association started taking action, it would be difficult to predict how many things would develop. The drugs also involved his future training, so it was right to prepare in advance. In case he really had to hide outside, he would also have a channel.
After hanging up the phone, he entered the train station, waited for the train to arrive, and then boarded the train directly. After riding for two days, he got off in Shangbu City.
According to the address given by Cheng Zitong, he found the Fengji Pharmacy not far from the train station. After calling Cheng Zitong, he successfully got the medicine from the store. The man named Lao Ou was very enthusiastic and packed the medicine for him in a big box.
He estimated the amount and thought that even for himself, it would take two to three months, while for an ordinary person, it would take about one to two years.
At the end, Lao Ou asked if he wanted someone to take him home. He thanked him and declined, then carried the item in one hand and left easily.
This time it took less than an hour to go in and out. After he came back, he bought a bus ticket and got on the bus after waiting for less than half an hour.
He looked at the time. It was not yet ten o'clock in the morning, so he would be able to return to Yangzhi City around three or four in the afternoon.
This intensive training took almost a month, but the gains were huge.
Although I didn't encounter any strong opponents during the whole process, the dangers I encountered during training were actually something I had never experienced before. If some places were not handled properly, it would be very likely to cause death, so this also gave me a great stimulation.
Especially the last burst of exhilarating swimming made the second me resonate with myself for a long time. According to his calculations along the way, the overlapping time increased by at least three hours at a time, reaching a total of about eight hours, which brought him much closer to his goal of 24 hours of overlap.
He looked forward, watching the scenery on both sides rapidly receding.
I thought to myself, it’s almost there.
More than five hours later, the bus stopped at the passenger station in Yangzhi City. He took down his luggage, put on the Xuejun Knife and got off the bus. However, when he came out of the station, he saw a team of armed patrolmen from the police station guarding the exit and checking the people coming and going. The atmosphere seemed very serious.
He was a little surprised. Usually, stations only had their own security personnel, so it was rare to have patrol officers from the police station stationed there.
During the inspection, he showed his weapon license. The patrolman in charge saw his name, looked at him for a few seconds, and asked politely, "Mr. Chen, are you Captain Nian's nephew?"
Chen Chuan said: "Yes, it's me."
The patrolman immediately became much more polite and greeted him with a smile, "I'm Xu Gui, the patrolman for the Quanzhou District. Brother Chen, I'm here to check on you. I can't help it, so please bear with me."
Chen Chuan said, "Brother Xu, what are you talking about? It's my duty, I understand. Has anything happened recently?"
Xu Gui looked around and gestured for two patrolmen to check in his place. He then led Chen Chuan out of the checkpoint and walked aside, saying, "Brother Chen, do you know about the conflict between the Blood Scar Gang and the Iron Chain Gang a few days ago?"
Chen Chuan nodded to show that he understood.
Xu Gui tilted his hat up and continued, "Three more leaders of the Blood Scar Gang died last month. Tsk tsk, they've lost their minds. They've also had several strongholds destroyed, and their businesses have been repeatedly attacked. How can they not cause trouble now? They used to only fight at night, but now they're making noises during the day, forcing our patrol bureau to deploy more personnel.
But just at this moment, the resistance organization has also come out to join in the fun. The railway line that was just repaired last month was bombed again, and the station was also attacked. They are afraid that there will be problems here, so the higher-ups sent us here to watch over it."
Chen Chuan finally understood. It seemed that the fight between the two gangs did not stop during the time he was away. Instead, it became more and more intense. It seemed that the person behind this matter was still exerting his strength.
After thanking Xu Gui, he left the station and went back to his aunt's house. This time he had gone out of town and brought back some local specialties, such as dried mutton and preserved fruits, and the amount was not small.
Yu Wan liked this very much. After all, both the patrol officers and their families rarely had the opportunity to leave Yangzhi City and had little contact with the outside world. This kind of local specialties from other places were rarely seen.
Chen Chuan took out two more packs of cigarettes and handed them to Nian Fuli. "Uncle, these are the cigarettes I brought from the northwest. They are said to be good local cigarettes and were recommended by a friend. I don't smoke either, so I don't know if they are good."
"Yo, Red Camel!"
Nian Fuli immediately perked up. "I heard this cigarette has a mellow flavor and can help with addiction. I have to try it." He was ready to try it, but before he could even reach out, Yu Wan grabbed the cigarette away and glared at him. "One pack a day isn't enough for you. I'll keep it for you."
Nian Fuli said dissatisfiedly: "This is Xiaochuan's gift to me, you..."
Chen Chuan smiled and didn't get involved in the conversation. He walked over and handed a few toys and picture books to his cousin, then went to his room.
After putting his things down, he went to take a quick shower and came back to tidy up. He planned to stay here for the night and return to the training center tomorrow. After all, he needed to train regularly and it would be inconvenient to stay at home. At this moment, a phone call came from the living room. My aunt's voice came: "Xiao Chuan, your call seems to be from your teacher."
After hearing this, Chen Chuan stood up and walked out.
At the same time, in a private club in the south of the city, Wei Jun swam out of the artificial lake in front of the club.
After coming up, he stretched his muscles and shook off the water droplets. He took the cloth handed to him by the servant and wiped it. He put on a pair of sunglasses and sat on the recliner, but his face was still calm.
He came back five days ago because he received accurate information that the assessment time had been postponed because the criminals had not been caught. Now it is certain that the Class C certificate assessment will be delayed to the end of August.
According to convention, it would take another ten days to obtain the Class C certificate after passing it. So even if he was still on the recommendation list for going to the Central City this year, he would definitely not be able to go to the Central City through the college channel because he lacked a key defense certificate.
For this reason, the family had to discuss and negotiate with other interest groups again, hoping to free up a spot from the next term, but things have not been finalized yet, so he is also trying to find a solution here.
The butler walked up to him and said, "Master, the person has arrived."
Wei Jun sat up and saw Jiang Wei, Shao Xiaobie, and another beautiful female student with a fit body walking in from outside.
He waited for the three to come over, asked them to sit down, then looked at Jiang Wei and the female student and said, "You know why I called you here this time, Qiao Rong, Jiang Wei, one of you must give up a spot this time."
Qiao Rong chuckled. "Senior Wei, you haven't figured it out yourself, yet you're asking us for a spot. Isn't that a bit too much?"
Jiang Wei smiled and said, "I understand what you mean, senior. I've also reviewed the situation, but what kind of compensation can make up for our losses? As long as you can explain it clearly, I'm willing to give up my spot."
Qiao Rong glanced at Jiang Wei. If the two of them joined forces to resist, Wei Jun would have no way to deal with them. However, Jiang Wei didn't seem to have that intention, so it was pointless. She began to look at her newly painted nail polish.
Shao Xiaobie crossed his legs. This matter had little to do with him. Although he was also in the third grade, he knew that his fighting skills were far inferior to those of the people present. However, as long as the connections of the Mutual Aid Association were there, he could also go to the central city in another way.
Wei Jun said, "If you want to discuss interests, the company and the family are discussing it. I don't have much to say, but we can talk about other things today."
He took off his sunglasses, leaned forward, and stared at the two people, "You should know that I have the best relationship with Senior Zhao who is in Central City.
Central City Hospital isn't easy to get into. You've probably heard a lot about the fierce competition. Without someone to help you, how can you possibly survive? Without me to help you, Senior Zhao would at best look after you out of courtesy. He waved his finger, "Don't expect him to be too kind to you."
Qiao Rong frowned unconsciously. After hearing this, she immediately lost interest in looking at her nails.
Jiang Wei still kept smiling. He said, "I have considered what Senior Wei said, but that is after entering the Central City. Compared with the quota for entering the Central City, I still feel that it is not enough."
Wei Jun slowly sat up straight again and said, "Okay, if you want to hear something else, then I'll say something more direct. If others don't let me have an easy life, I won't let them have an easy life either. If I don't go to the main hospital, I can also go to the central city. You should understand what I mean."
His teacher, Tan Wang, was from the Secret Snake Sect, which was the sect in the Central City. Even if he didn't go through the main hospital, he could still get to the Central City through other means. It's just that there were many conditions that he didn't like, so he didn't want to take this path. But if there was really no other way, he wouldn't mind trying.
At that time, he would not let those who made him unhappy be happy.
Just as he was waiting for the two men to reply, the butler came over and said to him, "Master, there's something you should pay attention to." He leaned over and whispered a few words in Wei Jun's ear. Wei Jun didn't pay much attention at first, but after listening, he suddenly turned his head and looked at him, "Where is the person?"
The housekeeper said respectfully, "Just wait outside."
