Chapter 75 I am their retribution!
Even takeout can’t be delivered into Si Cang’s neighborhood, let alone strangers. The security guard waited for Duan Anluo’s call before letting Qi You in.
On the way to Si Cang's house, we happened to come across the sunflower field. Two gray-haired and energetic old men were cutting sunflowers.
There weren't many people living in this neighborhood, and they were all members of the guild, and they were all people who made great contributions. On weekdays, they were either doing tasks or working in the guild, so it was rare to see children. The old man smiled and stuffed several large flower plates into Qi You's mouth, asking him to take them home to eat.
I don't know how the old man grows them, but the flower heads are over 50 centimeters long, the seeds are plump and sweet. This is a public area, and they can't eat all the food they grow, so they plan to distribute it to each household. If they can't distribute all the food, they will send it to the welfare home.
Qi You couldn't refuse and could only carry the child back. When he saw Duan Anluo, his face turned red as if he had done something wrong.
After Duan Anluo understood the whole story, he smiled and asked, "Have you said thank you to the two grandfathers?"
"Yes."
"That's fine, keep it and eat it. If neighbors are kind and offer small, inexpensive gifts, you can just accept them and return them later. If you still feel bad about it, go and help them with their work."
Qi You finally smiled and said, "I'll pack up and help them load the truck."
"Go ahead." Duan Anluo ate his breakfast and went to sleep. His spiritual energy was completely depleted and his mind was empty. He was too lazy to meditate, so he thought sleeping would make up for it.
In his dream, Assistant Fang was chasing him with a knife. After waking up, he looked at his phone and hesitated for a long time, but still did not dare to remove his dining partner from the blacklist. He put the phone away and continued to sleep.
The two old men were stunned when they learned that Qi You was Si Cang's child. They asked again and again, "The one with the largest courtyard in the northeast corner?"
"He's quite tall and handsome, but he has a cold face and doesn't like to talk. He's the fierce guy?"
Qi You nodded and shook his head. His master's wife was not mean at all, he just didn't know how to express it. He would buy him buns and give him apprenticeship gifts. When he was with his master, he was not mean at all and would even smile.
The two old men looked at each other, still not quite believing what Qi You said, and suspected that the child had remembered it wrong.
When Qi You returned home, they specially sent Qi You back. When they saw him enter the house, they couldn't believe their eyes.
After Duan Anluo transformed Si Cang's home with spiritual energy, the atmosphere softened considerably. Within a few days, birds began preening their feathers in the nearby trees. The magnetic field was so different that even small flowers sprouted from the lawn.
The old man sighed: "Oh my God, who has such great ability to make Si Cang look like a normal person?"
"God has opened his eyes. Do those old antiques in the Si family know about this?"
"What does it matter whether they know or not? Do they dare to speak? We should not interfere in the affairs of young people. Hurry and send these things over. There are still beans that have not been picked. Tell me too, why do you plant so many beans?"
"I heard people say it grows fast, but I didn't know it could grow this fast..."
Duan Anluo spent the whole day in anxiety. At noon the next day, Qi You, who was out getting takeout, saw Si Cang's car from afar and said happily, "Master, Uncle Si is back. I saw his car."
Duan Anluo stood on the balcony by the window and saw that Si Cang's car was parked downstairs. Duan Anluo waved with a smile and said, "The dirty bun has been washed and it's still available."
Si Cang opened the car door and looked up, and saw the bright and dazzling smile on Duan Anluo's face. Si Cang's mouth curled up slightly, and Qi You saw it, see, Master's wife can smile.
Bai Ziyue got out of the car, put on his bag, and waved to Duan Anluo, "I'll come and play with you guys another day."
Si Cang said, "You don't have to come."
Bai Ziyue heard it but pretended not to hear it, "Oh, I'll come tomorrow."
Duan Anluo called from upstairs, "Come in and eat. I bought lunch, and there's a portion for you."
Bai Ziyue said happily: "Then I'll go back and change my clothes and be right back!"
Si Cang frowned. This guy was like a piece of dog-skin plaster that couldn't be thrown away. If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have dug him out of the coffin in the first place. In Si Cang's eyes, there was nothing but disgust.
Duan Anluo went downstairs and met Si Cang at the stairs. Before he could say anything, Si Cang hugged him.
Duan Anluo's heart tightened, and he quickly tried to push him away, but he was held tighter. Si Cang pressed his face against Duan Anluo's hair, sucking in his scent greedily. His heart, which had been anxious to see him all the way, was finally calmed at this moment.
Duan Anluo pushed and pushed but it didn't move. He said with disdain: "You are not going to rub your sweat on me again, are you?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but the mention of it reminded Si Cang of how Duan Anluo had made him dirty, and how he had turned around and looked down on him for being a dirty bastard. Si Cang, as if in a fit of anger, deliberately rubbed his face against Duan Anluo's. Since he thought he was dirty, then let's get dirty together.
As he rubbed against him, Si Cang discovered that even the bones of Duan Anluo's body were soft. This unfamiliar touch made him feel novel, and he didn't want to let go after holding him.
Duan Anluo couldn't break free, and patted Si Cang's back helplessly: "You've worked hard, go change your clothes quickly, eat and have a good sleep after dinner."
"Hold me for a little longer." Si Cang's deep voice rang in his ears, "I finally got you."
These words made Duan Anluo feel like he had been electrocuted. His whole body tensed up, his heart felt numb, and his face flushed. "What kind of lewd words are these! What are you thinking about?"
The big hand on his back was scorching hot, hugging him tightly. They were so close that they could hear each other's heartbeats. Duan Anluo twisted Si Cang's waist in annoyance and said, "Let go. Don't let Qi You see."
Si Cang then let go of Duan Anluo and rubbed his head. The feeling was as good as he imagined.
Duan Anluo covered his head, confused. Why did he become so physical after coming back this time?
Duan Anluo ordered a large table of dishes. When Bai Ziyue arrived, he exclaimed, "It's different when Brother Duan comes. There's food to eat as soon as he comes back."
Qi You asked: "Uncle Bai, do you like tea or water?"
Bai Ziyue was startled by the word "uncle". At his age, he was already an uncle? This... he couldn't not act like an uncle! Bai Ziyue cleared his throat, stood up straight, and excitedly felt in his pocket. What should he give as a gift?
After searching around, Bai Ziyue didn't find anything worth mentioning. He quickly said, "After dinner, come with me. I have some interesting things. Take your pick."
Duan Anluo raised an eyebrow. Did Bai Ziyue also have a treasure vault? Was he going to bring Qi You back to choose?
Qi You blinked, "Uncle Bai, let me ask you, do you like tea or water?"
"Anything is fine. I drink anything. I'm not picky." Bai Ziyue smiled and pinched the hair on Qi You's head. It was his first time being an uncle, and it was quite fun.
Bai Ziyue was really hungry. After Duan Anluo and Si Cang sat down, he picked up the bowl and started eating. After he was full, he took Qi You and left.
"This child belongs to me. I will send him back tomorrow." As he said this, he winked at Si Cang, "Look at me, I'm so sensible. I took the little light bulb away."
Si Cang warned him: "Don't take him to dangerous places."
Bai Ziyue patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Qi You opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he was taken away.
Duan Anluo was not too reassured, "Can he make it?"
Si Cang was also a little worried, "It should be okay."
After hearing what he said, Duan Anluo quickly sent a message to Qi You: "Just play at your Uncle Bai's house, don't go out with him."
After dinner, Duan Anlu disinfected Si Cang's wound and applied medicine. He didn't even need to bandage it. Si Cang's recovery speed was much faster than that of an ordinary person. Last time, the burn healed in a few days. Duan Anlu looked at the injured area on his arm. There was only a shallow mark left, not even a scar. What kind of magical physique is this?
Si Cang noticed that he was distracted, "What's wrong?"
Duan Anluo shook his head. "I was thinking about you praising me for my 10,000-word essay. Have you finished it?"
Si Cang raised his hand and hugged Duan Anluo's waist. He could wrap his arm around him with just one arm, and it became more and more convenient for him to hug him.
Duan Anluo poked Si Cang's arm and said, "Let's talk about serious matters. Have you written it?"
Si Cang said seriously: "You are more powerful than I thought."
"How many words are there?" Duan Anluo counted. "10?"
Si Cang picked up his phone and started transferring money.
Ten thousand transfers at a time soon filled up Duan Anluo's phone screen.
He is not good at speaking and can't do it. Duan Anluo likes money, so he transfers money to him.
There are not ten thousand words, but the red envelopes of ten thousand can be given out continuously.
Duan Anluo heard the reminder on his phone, opened it and said speechlessly, "Don't think you can get away with it just like that."
Then he saw Si Cang put down his phone, but the screen was still spinning, it was spinning automatically! Every time it was 10,000!
The screen was filled with red envelopes, with no beginning or end in sight. This was a small feature Si Cang had the company develop overnight. He set the recipient and the amount, and as long as he didn't press stop, the red envelopes would continue to be transferred.
Duan Anluo was dazzled by the red envelopes. His fingers were sore from tapping, but he still couldn't reach the end. "Alright, alright, that's enough. I already feel your sincerity."
Si Cang looked at his eyes that were already curved with satisfaction, and raised the corners of his mouth, "Do I still need to write?"
"No need to write," Duan Anluo said without looking up, still counting the red envelopes. "You gave me this on your own initiative. I didn't borrow it from you. I won't return it."
"You don't have to pay it back, it's a gift for you." Si Cang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Duan Anluo liked money and could be coaxed with money.
Duan Anluo said happily: "Rest today and come home with me tomorrow."
He opened the shopping app and started shopping.
After Si Cang lay down, he put his head on Duan Anluo's arm and fell asleep in a short while.
Duan Anluo touched Si Cang's head. It was neither soft nor hard, and the touch was quite good. When he closed his eyes, his aura softened a lot. He wondered if he would be angry if he braided his hair into a small braid.
Si Cang opened his eyes helplessly. Duan Anluo took his hand away expressionlessly, suppressed this dangerous idea, and then went shopping frantically with an innocent look on his face.
After buying enough, Duan Anluo walked out of the bedroom, went to another room, and then pulled Assistant Fang off the blacklist. The message exploded instantly.
Duan Anluo couldn't finish reading it. He had already left him alone for a day and a half, and he couldn't keep going like this, so Duan Anluo took the initiative to call: "Just tell me, did I ask you? I asked you twice, and the second time I solemnly confirmed with you, and you said it was okay. These are all minor issues. Just bring Si Cang back safely."
Assistant Fang Nailong roared: "Can a normal person tear down mountains and roads and make so many people lose their souls?"
Duan Anluo asked back, "Isn't this normal practice? Why are you people nowadays so pedantic? Cutting the grass without removing the root will only leave trouble for future generations."
You also know my true identity. Since God sent me here, there must be a reason. The purpose of sending me here is to kill them.
Each of them exudes a murderous aura, having killed someone. If they don't die, who will? Do innocent people deserve to die? You reap what you sow. I am their retribution.
The evil they have committed is so severe that even Heaven cannot bear to see it through. Otherwise, why didn’t Heaven strike me to death with thunder? Did it strike me? No, whoever disagrees can ask Heaven for their opinion~”
Assistant Fang was stunned by what he said. It made sense, and he agreed with Duan Anluo's statement. But... it wasn't right! He had been deceived! He took the blame himself, and his six-month bonus had been deducted! Even if he supported Duan Anluo's idea, he couldn't let himself down!
"Oh my god! You're killing me!" Assistant Fang didn't know any esoteric arts; he was able to be the president's assistant only because of his brains. Where could he ask for advice from heaven?
Duan Anluo changed the subject: "Actually, I didn't do anything. It was all Si Cang who did it. If you suspect me, you must have evidence. Otherwise... why don't you fire Si Cang? I wouldn't do this job no matter how much money I'm offered."
"I fire him?!" Assistant Fang was so angry that he almost fainted. "Do you know Captain Si's true identity? You really like him as a person, and don't care about his family background at all, right?"
What kind of status does the Si family hold? Several hidden families have been passed down for thousands of years, guarding the Chinese dragon veins and important sealed areas. The Si family guards the most dangerous gate to the underworld!
This guild was jointly established by several families in order to protect the peace of Daxia. It is supported by the country and protected by the national destiny. A quarter of the senior management are from the Si family!
Si Cang does quests when he's happy, and doesn't when he's unhappy. The guild can't do anything about him. Why? That's the Si family's patriarch!
He earned this status through his own ability. All the disobedient members of the Si family were sent to the mountains to farm. They did it purely by hand, carrying manure up the mountain. After two years of farming, they came back as obedient as his grandsons.
There is also the Si family's business, which has many branches and involves various industries. Its business network spreads all over the world. Whether it can be done depends entirely on Si Cang's words!
He came to the guild to help with the mission because he didn't want to see so many people die in vain. He was given a transfer order, which sounded like "asking" him to save people, but in fact it was just a way for Si Cang to save his life!
Because he felt uncomfortable, he didn't want to get involved in these trivial matters, but he also didn't want to see so many lives lost and so many innocent people die, so the guild supported him and begged him to go.
He fired Si Cang? How shameless of him!
Duan Anluo really didn't care about Si Cang's background at all. He never paid attention to the other party's identity.
In the past, everyone in the world was subject to the emperor, so who cares about your status? In today's terms, we are all successors to communism. He also received a red flower when he was a child.
What he likes is Si Cang as a person. If family members can get along, then they can get along. If they can't, then they don't have to meet. He doesn't care anyway.
Duan Anluo was still adding fuel to the fire: "Please, fire Si Cang."
"When you have time, arrest Captain Si and give him a thorough interrogation! Ask him what his family does!" Assistant Fang was so angry that he didn't want to pay any attention to him and hung up the phone.
"Hello? Hello? Why did you hang up?!" Duan Anluo knew that Assistant Fang had no authority to fire Si Cang, but he didn't expect that he would run away before the conversation even lasted two minutes?
Fang Fang is still not good enough, she lacks magnanimity.
The so-called magnanimity means being able to get angry more often and not show it no matter how angry you are. Once you have practiced it, Fang Fang is still not angry enough.
Duan Anluo started giving red envelopes to Assistant Fang, just like Si Cang, giving out ten thousand at a time.
After sending three, Duan Anluo sent him a voice message to comfort him: "Okay, don't be angry, isn't it just that your bonus was deducted? I'll make it up to you."
Then he sent three more, "Fang Fang baby, is that enough? Are you still angry?"
Then three more messages followed, "Fang Fang, baby, is this enough for half a year's bonus? Are you still angry?"
Assistant Fang was so shocked that he cursed: "Fuck!"
Then he explained seriously: "I'm talking about a plant."
Duan Anluo then sent out three more red envelopes, "Fang Fang baby, are you still angry?"
Assistant Fang: "...Don't do this again. I'm going to get busy."
Duan Anluo narrowed his eyes. Using Si Cang's money to support others, this feeling... was a bit good.
Si Cang hadn't slept well recently. He didn't get up to eat at night and slept until the next morning. He got up before dawn to run and bought breakfast. When he got home, Duan Anluo was still asleep.
Si Cang finished his breakfast, turned on his computer, and began to read the report summaries that had been sent to him over the past few days. Before he had even finished more than a dozen pages, he received a call from the security guard, "Let them in."
Soon, a car drove downstairs and several workers carried a large box and placed it in the living room.
Duan Anluo got up when he heard the noise. He watched them unpack the boxes and asked, "What's inside?"
Si Cang said, "The puppet that can sing opera has been modified."
Duan Anluo suddenly felt less sleepy. "Can it really sing? Can it be controlled by voice? Can it dance?"
"It will! It has all the functions you want." Seeing the gleam in Duan Anluo's eyes, Si Cang said, "I've already had the robot you want customized. I'll send it to you once it's finished. What shape do you want? Or a little penguin?"
"No need to do it, it's too much trouble. I only have this opera puppet, I can't play with more." Duan Anluo waved his hands quickly. He was really embarrassed to accept Si Cang's kindness again. He had just given him so much money yesterday, and today he wanted to give him this, and tomorrow he wanted to give him that... and he hadn't given him anything before. He felt really embarrassed.
"If you're not in a hurry, I'll send it to you when it's in mass production."
"No need, really." Duan Anluo's mind was completely on the doll.
The puppet had been painted in the likeness of his favorite actress, and walked out in costume. The staff member in charge of debugging handed Duan Anluo a remote control: "There are two ways to use it. Once it's turned on, you can control it with voice commands or with the remote control. It will recharge itself when it runs out of power."
The staff also thoughtfully brought a box of clothes and several replaceable doll heads. They thought that the person who liked this kind of large doll was a girl. Girls like to play dress-up, so they brought a lot of beautiful clothes, including modern, ancient costumes, and opera costumes.
After seeing Duan Anluo, they realized that they were wrong, but it didn’t matter, they could keep them all and throw them away if the boss didn’t like them, as long as the boss was happy.
Duan Anluo learned how to use the puppet under the technician's guidance and immediately had it sing a section of "Farewell My Concubine." The synthesized electronic voice had a broad range, even better than a real person singing. Duan Anluo circled the puppet with satisfaction, thinking he would definitely give it a special seat when he returned home!
I'll have to prepare a separate room for it when I get home, and put all the clothes and heads in it! It's worth it!
Duan Anluo thought that his house was no longer spacious, so he set his sights on the house next door. He wondered if the owner would sell it.
There are only five households on that street. Currently, only Xuanmen is occupied, and the other four are empty.
Duan Anluo estimated that the origins of those houses should be the same as that of Xuanmen. They were all given by the country because they had made contributions to the country in the past.
He had checked his fortune and thought that his descendants must have become successful and disliked this place and moved away. Fortunately, it had not been moved away for long and was not yet abandoned. He could buy it back and do some minor repairs to make it habitable.
Duan Anluo sent a message to Assistant Fang, asking him to check who owned the houses next door and whether they could be bought.
Not long after, Assistant Fang replied, "Those houses now belong to the guild. The owner has passed away, so the apprentice used the houses and points to exchange for a dojo elsewhere."
Duan Anluo asked, "Will the guild sell it? How much?"
Assistant Fang: "Not for sale, but for points. You can exchange points for houses by completing tasks. They're very cheap, 100 points for one. But that place is too remote, are you sure you want to exchange it for that?"
"Isn't that place nice? There are commercial streets and snack streets nearby, which are enough for doing some small business. The whole street is connected to five houses, and they will all be mine in the future." The more Duan Anluo thought about it, the better it seemed. When his apprentices became rich, he would let them earn money to rebuild a small house, and they could live there when they were old.
"I want those four houses, 400 points, right?"
"Yes, it doesn't cost money, it requires points. You can ask Captain Si, he probably has a lot of unused points. You can even get a discount by asking him to exchange them, as he's at a high level."
Duan Anluo smiled and said, "This... isn't good, right?"
"What's wrong with that? He's all yours, and his points are yours too. If you don't let him spend them all, someone else will. Why would he keep them? He's not going to have kids? Let me tell you, don't be fooled by his cold face every day. There are a lot of people who like him. The guild has his fan base, and there are more than one! You have to be strict with him. Men can't be spoiled. If he needs to slam the table, slam it. If he needs to be beaten, beat him. If that doesn't work, make him kneel!"
Assistant Fang's words hinted at his resentment towards Si Cang. Duan Anluo didn't know the rules, but how could Captain Si not know? He actually watched Duan Anluo act up and didn't stop him. Even pampering your wife has its limits!
He didn't dare to say this to Si Cang, but it was too uncomfortable to keep it in his heart. He could only secretly tell Si Cang about it behind his back, asking Duan Anluo to deal with him. He definitely didn't lie, he was telling the truth, and he had also sneaked into the group. He would look through the chat history and take screenshots to show Duan Anluo, ha!
Duan Anluo was silent for a moment, "Fang Fang, you are a ruthless person."
After hanging up the phone, Duan Anluo walked over to Si Cang's desk and slammed it, "Where are your points? Give them out to me!"
Si Cang sat up straight subconsciously.
Duan Anluo couldn't hold it in any longer and chuckled, "Use your points to help me exchange for those four empty houses on the street. I'll pay you back when I earn points."
Don't worry about too much debt, don't be afraid of too many lice, just take the house first, what if the price goes up in the future? He will return it to Si Cang after earning points. After all, Si Cang is not an outsider, but an insider!
Si Cang couldn't help laughing, "Is that all?"
"Ah, four hundred points." Duan Anluo had seen this before when he accepted a task. If it wasn't for money, but only points, each task would still cost around ten points. It would take him a long time to earn four hundred points. By then, the house might have been redeemed by someone else. He wanted that street, not a single house.
Si Cang took out the tablet, logged in and handed it to Duan Anluo, "Whatever you want, redeem it yourself."
Duan Anluo took it and his mind went blank. "Why are you so nice to me? Aren't you afraid that I might cheat on you?"
There should be a limit to liking someone. How can you be unreserved, without bottom line, and without defense?
Si Cang said seriously: "I'm afraid you'll hit me, so make me kneel down."
Duan Anluo: “…”
Si Cang’s hearing is bad, Fang Fang is in trouble again.
Si Cang reminded him: "Hurry up and exchange it, then go out and buy something. Didn't we say we would go to your house tonight?"
Duan Anluo's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, he had forgotten about this!
