After Liu Ben started putting on the sack, he found some fun in it.
It's cool to just charge in head-on and chop the melons and vegetables, but holding your breath, hiding yourself from anyone other than the target, and then putting the target in a sack and taking him away also has its own little thrill.
Sometimes he hides behind a door, sometimes he squats in the shadows, sometimes he pretends to be a bodyguard, sometimes he disguises himself as a bull-head statue... No matter what outrageous method he uses, Liu Ben always manages to miraculously avoid being discovered. Maybe he has a unique talent.
You Ying commented in the space: "Very good, you are already a successful assassin."
Seeing another person being dragged away in a sack, beaten up and thrown into the trash can, the system nodded in satisfaction and didn't mind that Liu Ben used the system space as a place to store "sack people".
Once, Liu Ben followed a sneaky man and actually found an illegal organ trading house. There were many people locked up in it, mostly children. Those children were too timid and were scared to run around when they saw Liu Ben's bull head. So Liu Ben really used the small sacks he had prepared.
The children running around the room were like little chicks. Liu Ben picked them up one by one and quickly packed them up. Soon, there were a lot of colorful and moving small sacks on the ground. One of the little girls was put in a pink lace sack.
The older ones were more cautious and would squat in the corner carefully so as not to affect Liu Ben.
The captured children were naturally a little scared, but their fear didn't last long. Liu Ben dealt with the villains and brought the little sacks out of this dangerous and cruel place. Then he found a crowded place, took the little sacks out of the space, opened the sacks, shook out the bunch of children inside, and finally put the sacks away, and released all the children again. Complete.
The child who was released was a little dazed at first, but when he saw the crowd around him, he soon started crying and rushed towards those passers-by who looked kind, chattering for their help.
People were extremely surprised, but Liu Ben didn't care. He was already the "Bull-Headed God" anyway, so it was normal for him to have the magical power of "The Great Shift of the Universe", right?
After that, Liu Ben continued to fight crime without any scruples, and there were more legends about him in the outside world.
However, whether it was a surprise attack or a head-on confrontation, the two of them couldn't stay together for long. Liu Ben definitely couldn't bring his phone when he was doing something. The phone was always placed in the space with You Ying, so there would inevitably be no signal. The claim that you were traveling to a place with no signal could be fooled for a few days, but if it continued for too long, your family would definitely worry.
Liu Ben had a great time here, and then went home hand in hand with You Ying. Most of the traces were wiped out by the system, leaving only the increasingly popular legend of the Bull-Headed God.
"Hahahahahaha!" Liu Ben laughed so hard that he fell down.
You Ying looked at the bronze statue in front of him, feeling a little amused and helpless.
Before the two left, the Minotaur cult had spread from the border to new cities, and related items were sold everywhere, not just statues and portraits, but also amulets, necklaces, bracelets, and other more practical items. Many people believed that wearing Minotaur-style accessories would gain the Minotaur's attention and protection. In such a chaotic place, this was the best comfort.
But... the new statue is different.
There is an extra image of the bull-headed god in all the portraits and statues.
There is a big bull-headed god, and next to it is another slightly smaller bull-headed god. The big and the small are close to each other, and you can tell at a glance that they are a pair.
The cheering crowd that day apparently took Liu Ben's words, "I have darling! I love him!" to heart, and somehow came to believe there were two Bull-Headed Gods, a same-sex couple. Furthermore, You Ying had heard from a local merchant who spoke some common foreign language that the two gods were one fierce and one kind. The fierce one would come forward to slay those who did evil, while the kind one would remain unseen, granting people health and happiness.
In the rescued cities, many people would buy things with traces of the Minotaur to keep at home or on their bodies. Those who were a little richer would buy elaborate statues and portraits, while those who were poor would buy simple small bracelets in the shape of a bull head made in bulk by small vendors, and so on. In short, there would always be some.
It was already dark when the two came back, so they simply went to You Ying's house and stayed there for one night.
When he entered, Liu Ben was a little surprised by a piece of news told by the security guard.
"The family in front of Mr. You is reselling their house."
The security guard probably knew something about the relationship between You Ying and Liu Ben. Both of them were now well-known and influential figures in the outside world. Knowing that Liu Ben had a grudge against the Gou family, he was happy to curry favor and told the two of them about this in advance.
Liu Ben was quite surprised by this, but You Ying was not too surprised.
They were only away for a few days, but the market for Gold Smith during this period was not exactly a complete drastic change or a sharp downturn, but it was definitely going downhill at a steep pace, getting lower day by day.
The head office was having a hard time staying afloat, and the subsidiary closest to Aben Agricultural Products was in even greater trouble. Not long after Liu Ben and his team left, the GoldS.mith subsidiary, with Gou Qi as its nominal boss, announced its closure and withdrawal from the city.
Gou Qi and Gou Er lost their jobs directly. Even before that, the company had not paid wages for a long time. When employees came to ask for their wages, Gou Qi applied to the head office for a long time and finally paid the wages to the employees. Gou Wen did not hesitate to spend the money so as not to cause himself unnecessary trouble.
But this is really just an ordinary salary. There will not be any extra funds that were previously allocated to Gou Qi's family for free use. Gou Qi complained a little, but when he thought about how busy the head office was, he could only hold it in.
But they did not really think that the head office would collapse just like that. Gou Qi, Zhu Qian and Gou Er all held on to the illusion that this was just a minor setback and that a powerful company like Gold Smith would surely be able to survive the crisis and the subsidiary would be opened immediately.
However, the most troublesome thing at the moment is that the family thought they would be rich in the future, so they had no idea how to spend money.
Gou Qi certainly didn't have much money at first, but he had a lot of company event expenses given to him by Gou Wen. Gou Qi thought it was paid out every month anyway, and no one was counting it, so he just used it himself. It wasn't his own money, so he didn't feel bad about it. The family spent the money lavishly, buying anything they wanted that wasn't necessary, and even spending dozens of times more than the value of something, they didn't feel bad at all.
But later, when the subsidiary was closed down, the company's existing expenses had to be calculated. Gou Qi felt guilty, so he quickly used the money from his and Zhu Qian's salary cards that had earned over the years to make up for the shortfall in the account. He did make up for it, but he didn't have much money left.
Although they had no income, the three members of the Gou family had not yet adapted to the situation. They had nothing to do and continued to spend money lavishly. They only realized something was wrong when their money was quickly used up.
Even if the subsidiary were to reopen, it wouldn't be that soon. The property management fees where they lived were very expensive, and the annual payment was coming up soon. So, if they couldn't afford to support their family and pay the fees before then, it would be embarrassing. The people living here were all well-off, and their family had some pride to maintain. If everyone knew they couldn't even afford the property management fees, it would be incredibly embarrassing.
If you don't want to be embarrassed, you can't live here.
Gou Qi and his family were reluctant to leave the house they had lived in for several years. After all, it was such a luxurious house and they might never live in such a good house again in their lifetime. However, the current situation was like this and they had to leave.
Gou Qi found the property management office and told them that he wanted to sell the house, and they rented an ordinary two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment outside.
Gou Qi also thought about whether he could ask Gou Wen for money. After all, Gou Wen was his father. Isn't it natural for a father to take care of his son?
He doesn't think it's outrageous that he still needs me to support him since he's already old.
But it was useless for him to think about it. Gou Wen was too busy to care about him, so he just said perfunctorily to let him solve it himself and talk about it later. If Gou Qi continued to pester him, Gou Wen would hang up the phone impatiently.
Gou Qi had no choice but to sell the house first. At least after selling this big house, he would have some money to make ends meet.
"Houses here are still very popular, and they should be sold soon." The security guard said respectfully: "The owner has already moved."
Liu Ben: "It's better to leave early. Seeing them outside is really annoying."
Although You Ying and Liu Ben live in Liuwu Village almost every day, they will come back occasionally.
You Ying nodded: "If they run out of money in the future, they might find you and ask you to pay alimony."
"Anyway, Gou Qi is not yet of the legal age to ask for alimony." Liu Ben shrugged. Even if he reached that age, he would talk to a lawyer and have a good talk with him. Alimony is allowed, but the less the better. He would definitely not let Gou Qi take advantage of him in the slightest.
When they arrived at You Ying's house, Liu Ben carefully placed the new statues next to the previous one, one on the left and one on the right, which looked quite nice.
Although You Ying didn't really have a bull's head, it was a commemoration of their good relationship.
You Ying asked Liu Ben, "Do you want the house in front? If you do, I can buy it for you."
Liu Ben hesitated for a moment, but soon refused firmly.
"No need. We didn't live there very long. My mother later fell ill, and we didn't buy anything else related to us," Liu Ben sighed. "Actually, what I miss most is the house my grandmother bought us. But the original things in that house were thrown away or sold when we moved. I took the things that were left back with me."
So when the house was rented out, Liu Ben didn't feel anything.
The most numerous of them are various notebooks written by Liu Shuangyue, among which the most records are the contact numbers of old customers and suppliers, supply-related details, the content of the transactions, and other goods left by Liu Shuangyue when she did business with Gou Qi.
Liu Ben also told his grandmother that his mother used to care about Gou Qi's business, but Gou Qi himself might not have paid much attention to it. Liu Ben remembered that Gou Qi would often come directly to Liu Shuangyue to ask questions when he encountered problems. After asking and solving the problems, he would leave in a hurry. He was always busy, leaving Liu Shuangyue alone with her head down to organize her notebook.
Liu Ben thought about that, put his hands behind his head, leaned back on the sofa and sighed: "Alas...it was all in vain after all."
You Ying didn’t know much about Liu Shuangyue, but he understood Liu Ben and could understand what Liu Ben was sighing about. He put his arm around Liu Ben’s shoulders and patted him twice.
The things of the past are already in the past, but Liu Ben and You Ying, two present-day people, will only get better and better.
"What are your future plans?"
"Farming."
"Too ordinary, isn't it?"
"What about you, what's your plan?"
"Play games."
"How dare you talk about me? Watch this!" Liu Ben pretended to give You Ying a Thousand Years of Death.
You Ying quickly dodged: "Hahahaha, I can't let you do that! You're too childish! I didn't play this in elementary school!"
"Then just treat me like an elementary school student."
"How can there be such a strong elementary school student!"
Liu Ben held his chin in his hand and thought: "Hmm..."
You Ying was still on guard, but couldn't help asking, "What?"
"You know, I told you that half-bull orcs grow very fast."
"so?"
Liu Ben: "I was already 1.9 meters tall when I was eight years old."
You Ying: "What?"
Liu Ben: "I will grow taller and taller in the future, until I am too tall for your house to fit in my orc form."
You Ying: !!
My mother's knowledge increased again, which shocked me.
