The high-speed train traveled at high speed from Xuzhou to Dandong, passing through Tai 'an and stopping at Qinhuangdao. In this carriage, Lin Zhou sat alone by the window. His eyes were wandering. The scenery outside the window was fleeting, making it hard for people to see it clearly. However, after passing through Tianjin, the scenery actually became vast. The mountains and rivers were enough to let people experience an unusual sense of beauty.
In the row behind Lin Zhou, Xu Jiacheng was wrapped in a coat and resting with his eyes closed. If someone were to approach him, they would be able to feel a special kind of temperature. This was because Xu Jiacheng was currently treating his injuries. Previously, he had forcefully taken a punch from Su Bai. His injuries were not serious, but they were not light either. However, because this matter had happened in a hurry, he could only use all the time he had to recover from his injuries. Even on the high-speed train, he was no exception.
Behind Xu Jiacheng, Ying Yinger sat alone. She wore earphones and listened to music as if she was a lone traveler. She could only follow them to Qinhuangdao, but she was not allowed to participate in the future sailing.
On one hand, Lin Zhou did not want his daughter to take risks with him. She had to follow him to Qinhuangdao to take care of his body. This was already the limit that Lin Zhou could allow. On the other hand, Xu Jiacheng could not allow an ordinary person to go out to sea.
Finally,
The train arrived at the station.
Compared to the train stations in cities inland, Qinhuangdao's train station was indeed a bit cramped. Especially after walking out of the train station and looking back, the three large words of Qinhuangdao revealed a style of the last century.
"Let's find a place to stay for the night first," Lin Zhou suggested.
Xu Jiacheng also nodded. His injuries would more or less recover after one night. With his cautious personality, he still hoped that he would face any possible situation when he was at his peak.
The hotel was chosen to be by the sea. It was a seaside apartment hotel. From the hotel's balcony, one could see the sea outside. However, the location was not very good because there was a cargo dock next to the apartment building. Although it was not large, it did affect the mood of watching the sea to a certain extent. The good locations had long been divided up by the high-end hotels.
Lin Zhou liked peace and quiet, and so did Xu Jiacheng. Therefore, the two of them did not pursue luxury. A room in this apartment hotel usually cost a little more than 100 yuan a day. Qinhuangdao's priceless price was not very expensive.
In the evening, Lin Zhou sat on the balcony reading a book. This was an ancient logbook. It was not published in modern times. Xu Jiacheng, who had just recuperated his body, took a shower and left his room. He walked into Lin Zhou's room. When he saw that Lin Zhou was still reading this kind of book, he could not help but feel a bit uncomfortable. Tomorrow, they were going to go to Elderly Dragon Head to prepare to go out to sea, but Lin Zhou was still reading the logbook. Even if he wanted to cram for the Buddha's feet, it should not be so obvious.
The apartment hotel had its own kitchen. Ying Yinger made dinner, but it was not seafood. After all, they were from Shanghai, and Shanghai was located at the estuary of the Yangtze River. There was no shortage of seafood. Therefore, there was no need to continue to search for seafood ingredients in Qinhuangdao. Moreover, Ying Yinger did not seem to be very good at cooking, but her instant noodles were not bad.
When eating the noodles, Xu Jiacheng raised his head and looked at Lin Zhou, who did not seem to have a good appetite.
He asked, "Why do I still feel that it is not just us?"
Lin Zhou nodded and then shook his head. It seemed that he was not clear about the situation, but he still said in a very confident tone, "This time, there should be a lot of people coming. Some people want to come, so they come. Some people don't want to come, but they still come."
"What will happen to us?" Xu Jiacheng frowned, "I am not interested in anything else. What I want is the mirror that can make you forever young."
Lin Zhou laughed twice and said very seriously, "If you can control your greed, then there should be nothing to worry about. Although I don't know the specific identity of people like you, I can feel that the so-called immortality like me is not very attractive to people like you.
You don't need it, and you don't need it. The effect of this mirror is more like a kind of poison to you. At least, you should not be willing to become like me, right? "
Xu Jiacheng smiled, "I am actually very different from them."
Everyone had their own obsession, and the audience was no exception. And Xu Jiacheng's obsession was his aunt. It was this incestuous relationship that had been brewing since he was young. In the secular world, it was called incest. Lin Zhou did not say anything. He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
Outside the window,
Moonrise Tide
…
A bowl of light noodles. Gongzi Hai sat at the table alone and did not move his chopsticks. The night the lychee disappeared in front of him, he had already left. He was not much faster than Xu Jiacheng and Lin Zhou. Therefore, he planned to spend the night in the city and go to Laolongtou tomorrow.
Laolongtou Scenic Area was not in the city. It was a distance away from the city. It was not too far, but not too close either. Moreover, it was meaningless to go there at night. If he wanted to go there, he had to wait in the daytime. Gongzi Hai, who had always cherished his body, was not willing to go there early and wait for the whole night in the salty sea breeze. It would be harmful to his skin.
However, this bowl of noodles was really bad.
The development of Qinhuangdao was different from other tourist cities. Because of its special geography and history, it didn't look like a pure tourist city, nor did it look like an industrial city. It had the atmosphere of a new city, but it also had the appearance of an old era. In short, it was a very interesting city.
However, these tastes could not be reflected in the bowl of noodles in front of Gongzi Hai.
After struggling with this bowl of noodles for about 15 minutes and eating three times, Gongzi Hai could not stand it anymore. He paid the bill and left the noodle house. He planned to go back to the hotel to apply a facial mask and adjust his state for tomorrow's event.
…
"This is the list of the new brothers and sisters who joined this month."
"The number of people is increasing rapidly."
"This is because the replacement of low-level listeners is very fast. I don't know how many people in this list will be left after next month."
"The bigger the net, the more fish there will be. The difficulty and cost of developing senior listeners is too high. We should have tried it in Shanghai, but it angered a big shot. Because of the intervention of senior listeners, we lost a few people. This directly caused the work in Shanghai to be in a semi-stagnant state."
"It's very difficult for the people below to solve these problems. Perhaps it's time for us to go over there and suppress the situation."
"Don't worry, don't worry."
The back door of an inconspicuous bar in downtown Qinhuangdao was pushed open, and two men in coats came out.
"Now we can put the things in Shanghai aside and take care of the things at home first. After all, this is our base camp."
"What happened? Why don't I know? "
"You don't need to know. By the way, wait for me here tomorrow morning. I want you to go with me to Elderly Dragon. Don't always immerse yourself in the development of your brothers and sisters. Although we are using MLM methods, our purpose is not MLM for MLM's sake."
In the darkness of the night, the shadows of the two people became longer and longer.
…
There were not many cars on the road in the middle of the night, but there was always a car that was very common, and that was a taxi.
At this time, a taxi stopped on the side of the road. The driver turned off the radio, opened the window, lowered the chair, and half reclined in the car. It seemed that he was too tired at night, so he stopped on the side of the road to sleep for a while.
This was a very dangerous thing to do. After all, if he slept like this at night, if he encountered someone with ulterior motives, it would be very easy for some accidents to happen. Logically speaking, taxi drivers were very vigilant and experienced in this aspect, so it was unlikely that they would make such a low-level mistake.
Not far away, two people walked over. They were obviously not tourists, because they did not bring suitcases or satchels. They walked on the road empty-handed, a bit like unemployed people.
They also noticed the taxi. The two people walked straight over, opened the back door without hesitation, and sat in.
"No wonder I felt that something was wrong since this morning, but I still didn't expect that you would come," the driver still had his eyes closed, but as if he had already expected it, he spoke very calmly.
"I was also puzzled. Suddenly, as if he had gone crazy, he pulled me and rushed over. It was so torturous," the person behind echoed.
"I have something urgent, something very, very urgent."
"Oh, okay. Where do you want to go? I will give you a ride, but I have to check the time." Qin Yang raised his seat and started the car.
"Elderly Dragon," Su Bai said these three words.
"Going to a scenic spot in the middle of the night? How elegant," Qin Yang said with a smile.
"If you don't mind, you can experience it with us," Su Bai said.
"It's okay. The locals have been to these two scenic spots countless times. I won't join in the fun. It's nothing more than a brick city wall, waves, and mud figurines. It's not that interesting. I will send you there safely. I will take the money, and when you arrive, I will go home. My wife and children are still waiting for me at home."
Qin Yang said as he handed a cigarette to Su Bai and Fatso.
