When I saw the driver get out of the car, I felt a little worried.
That's a big guy, he's definitely not someone to mess with!
However, the person in the car didn't seem very strong; he even looked like a frail middle-aged man.
How come he's all muscle as soon as he gets out of the car!
Is this what the physical fitness of a shallow taxi driver is like?
The man simply swung his arm, took two steps toward us, then stopped, and instead put on a smile that I found hard to believe.
"This one is a special case! Absolutely!"
The driver stroked his beard and pointed to the dew-covered branch in Yiyi's hand.
Damn it, I thought they were going to fight us.
Unexpectedly, this guy came to remind us.
Then why did you adopt a fighting stance?
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that the dew-covered branch in Yiyi's hand was indeed a special thing!
I already knew this much while I was in the car.
If this rare Dew-Gathering Branch is considered an ordinary item, then there's probably nothing rare in this shallow layer!
I wonder how much energy is gathered inside!
Thinking about this, I feel both fortunate and troubled.
Fortunately, this thing always attracts attention and makes people look at us with more respect, which makes things easier for us.
Although the branches covered in dew were already somewhat withered.
The problem is that what we need to remember is not this at all!
"Thank you... but we don't send these."
Yiyi's voice trembled slightly, but she showed no fear.
They were probably also a bit confused by the contrast in this guy's personality.
Weren't they preparing for a fight? At this point, Lei Jijian was basically ready, but this person suddenly stopped and started telling us a story.
And I had the same somewhat awkward expression.
"Oh, not that. It's alright, you can try it out and see how efficient the people inside are..."
The driver didn't say much, just gave a somewhat mysterious smile, and then turned around and walked back on his own.
He even strolled around leisurely.
"So flexible, so incredibly flexible..."
He was muttering to himself in short, incoherent sentences.
Yiyi and I exchanged a glance, and we both showed a helpless expression almost simultaneously.
How does this work?
It means that they opened their hearts to us at this time.
However, I am indeed in a bit of a dilemma now.
"Do you deliver to the post office?"
Yi Yi's words carried a hint of uncertainty, while her big eyes blinked repeatedly.
After thinking for a moment, I had a brief exchange with Lei Jijian.
"Master, you absolutely cannot go there!"
Lei Jijian's attitude was very tough.
I was a little puzzled. Why couldn't I go?
As the driver already said, the people inside are quite flexible in their behavior and logic.
At least it's not like someone who's stubbornly inflexible.
To be honest, what annoys me most when I'm traveling is those stubborn staff members who are inflexible and never listen to anything I say.
We're all just trying to make a living, so why is it so hard to help each other out and make things convenient for one another?
That makes him seem like he's in management!
In my imagination, the staff here must all be people who take bribes.
After all, as that driver just said, one shouldn't accept something for nothing.
Along with this, there's another saying: "He who takes a man's money is bound to him; he who eats another man's food is bound to him."
"You should understand such a simple principle, right?"
I tapped the Thunder Strike Sword; perhaps he wasn't yet quite adept at using the trick of asking for help.
However, I'm an old hand at this.
"Master, are we going to sacrifice the Dew-Gathering Branch? Isn't that what we came here for?!"
There was a hint of surprise in Lei Jijian's voice, and I gave him a negative answer.
Why did Ningluzhi send me here?
Besides the dew-covered branches, there's nothing else there!
Furthermore, I estimate that with the power of this dew-condensing branch, those few people will let us pass as soon as they see it!
If they insist on taking it, then we'll show them that the Dew-Gathering Branch has already lost its vitality.
Without sea marrow, no one can extract it.
Lei Jijian remained silent, which was also his way of expressing his agreement with this approach.
I glanced at Yiyi and slowly began to speak.
We have to go!
I briefly explained the pros and cons to Yiyi, and the girl had similar thoughts in mind.
In her view, if we chose to give up, then the only thing we could do was hand over the weapon in Blue Armor's hand to the innkeeper.
If that's the case, then it's very likely that the hotel owner won't trust you.
In that case, we would have made a completely wasted trip.
"Brother, that guy in blue armor instructed us before he left that it would be best to have us go to this post office! That should be safer."
I nodded slightly in agreement, and without thinking, I pushed open the glass door of the post office.
Before closing the door, I glanced back. The driver had just finished his last puff of cigarette and expertly tossed it on the ground and stomped on it.
He then walked around the car, got in, closed the door, and dozed off inside.
The moment I pushed open the post office door, a slightly stronger fishy smell wafted out.
There's also a strange taste.
I took a closer look and it smelled of moisture and paper mixed together, with some of it already damp.
This smell is the complete opposite of the oxygen-rich smell of the concrete streets outside.
There's a sense of unease here.
I looked around the hall and realized that the pale light that had been shining in from outside was coming from the overhead lights.
And this lamp was an intensely white one.
The light was evenly distributed on the smooth marble floor; the post office here was not much different from those on land.
Such a large lamp failed to illuminate any corner of the room; as far as the eye could see, it was pitch black.
In the very center of the hall stood several counters that looked like they hadn't been used for a long time, covered with a thin layer of dust.
The computer screen is black.
I looked around carefully and saw only the digital clock on the wall, ticking mechanically as if it were tolling a death knell.
Rather, it must be because of the excessive height that the clock, under the illumination of the main light, also emitted a cold, white light!
"Why is nobody here?"
At this moment, Yiyi also gripped my wrist, her voice a little tense.
At that moment, I felt a sense of ease.
I glanced around and saw that the empty waiting area had chairs arranged very neatly.
Could this driver have taken us to the wrong place?!
