Chapter 138 The Dust Settles
"It's me, open the door."
Lu Xiaoxiao heard the familiar voice of Zhang Xu coming from outside the door, so she immediately opened the door. When she saw Zhang Xu standing at the door looking tired, she hurriedly invited him to come in and rest for a while.
When Lu Xiaoxiao waited for Zhang Xu to come in and sit on a chair, she poured him a glass of water and handed him the braised pork and steamed buns she had packed for lunch, saying, "Eat these first. I know you're very busy and I'm afraid you won't have time to eat, so I packed them for you."
Zhang Xu was really hungry at this moment. He had not had time to eat today because of that matter, so when the little girl handed him the food, he did not act pretentiously. He said thank you and took it and ate it.
After Zhang Xu finished eating everything, he looked at the little girl and said, "We arrested that group of people while they were trading with overseas people at around 8 o'clock tonight. However, since this matter involves a lot of things, I won't tell you who is behind it. Anyway, from now on, just forget about this matter and pretend that you don't know anything about it."
"I see, but you said this matter is very involved. Will it cause you any trouble?"
"The little girl will worry about her brother's safety."
"You are not my brother. I called him that this morning as a temporary measure. Don't take it seriously."
Zhang Xu saw the little girl's angry expression. He chuckled helplessly before saying, "Don't worry, I don't care about those people."
Although Lu Xiaoxiao was unhappy to hear Zhang Xu's arrogant words, she was glad to know that it did not bring him any trouble or danger. As for that brother, she could just ignore it.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Xiaoxiao asked, "Are you going to go out to do some work or just get a room here to rest?"
"Everything is settled. I'll go down and get a room to rest. I'll go back to the village with you tomorrow."
Lu Xiaoxiao thought that she had finished her business in the city and would be going back to the village tomorrow, so she nodded and said, "Okay."
After Lu Xiaoxiao sent Zhang Xu out of the room, she went back into the house, cleaned the table and entered the space. She suddenly thought of having to take the bus again tomorrow and felt that the future was dark.
Lu Xiaoxiao once heard someone say that if you get carsick, you can relieve it by applying wind oil on your temples, or by holding a piece of ginger in your mouth. She will try these two methods tomorrow, and she hopes they are really useful.
At eight o'clock the next morning, Zhang Xu came and knocked on the door and asked the little girl if they could leave. She had nothing to pack, so when she heard Zhang Xu's question, she just opened the door and went downstairs with Zhang Xu to check out.
Because the shuttle bus was scheduled to leave at 9:30 in the morning, it was still early so Zhang Xu took her to the state-owned restaurant for breakfast. Then he took her to the department store to buy two cans of malted milk, some canned fruit and canned meat. If the bus was not about to leave, he would probably have continued buying.
After Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the station and got on the bus, the smell wafted in again, so she quickly took out the wind oil and applied it on her temples, then took out a piece of ginger that she had cut and put in her bag and put it in her mouth, and finally put on the mask.
After doing this series of things, Lu Xiaoxiao felt much more comfortable, so she asked Zhang Xu if he wanted to do the same.
When Zhang Xu saw the little girl's actions at first, he was confused, but from the things she prepared, he understood that she did this because she hated the smell in the car. He thought it was funny that she was such a pampered little girl.
However, when she heard the little girl asking him if he wanted to do the same as her, she shook her head. He didn't care about the smell. You know, they had experienced worse smells than the one in the car during training.
