C378 Arriving at the Capital
During the Mortal World, Que De once told Shen Lang about his childhood experiences after he got drunk.
That year, the nine year old Que De was searching for edible things in the trash in the alleyway. An old man who came to pick up trash suddenly fell on the ground and fainted.
Que De ran over and called for the old man. He didn't wake him up and didn't know what to do. He didn't have the idea of calling an ambulance to take him to the hospital, so he just sat on the side and waited.
After waiting for a few minutes, the grandpa woke up and muttered about his thirst. Que De quickly poured the half bottle of beverage into the grandpa's mouth bit by bit.
Then he gritted his teeth and crushed the biscuits he had picked up for the grandpa to eat. Later, Que De found out that he fainted due to hypoglycemia.
The old man's name was Luo Fu, and he was a bachelor. His only property was a crappy van that had the skills to repair cars. However, he was too old and blind. He didn't need him in the garage. Usually, he would stop his car by the roadside to pick up some random jobs to earn a living. When there were no jobs, he would go to the garbage heap to pick up some junk to sell.
Later, when Luo Fu found out that Que De was wandering alone, he took him in.
The old man and the young man lived together in a crappy van with only the driver and the copilot in the passenger seat. The back seat was torn apart, separated by a plank that separated it from the upper and lower levels, with bedding and clothes on the plank and a couple of messy plastic boxes hanging from the roof. Underneath the plank was the space for sundries, utensils, and car repair tools.
The car had been driving for more than twenty years, and it was very run-down. It stopped at the edge of an abandoned quarry and used a few stones to squeeze through the wheels. There was no way of knowing if it could start again. However, to Que De, this was a good place to shelter from the wind and rain. At that time, Que De had not lived in a safe place for a long time.
The two of them spent their days together. They repaired cars by the roadside during the day and went out at night to pick up trash. Instead, they earned more money than Luo Fu, and occasionally even bought some meat to eat. However, Luo Fu was still saving as much money as he could, saying that he would let Que De go to school, so he couldn't pick up trash anymore.
All of Rover's money, handfuls of change, was hidden under the passenger seat, in a dirty glass can with layers of rags wrapped around it. He had already told Que De where to hide the money. He was afraid that if he suddenly died, Que De wouldn't have enough money and would end up wandering around.
Less than half a year had passed since Que De's peaceful days. One night, the van suddenly suffered a violent collision. Before Que De could react in his sleep, he was thrown out of the van by Luo Fu and fell onto the ground.
However, the van rolled into the quarry and fell to the bottom of the pit more than ten meters deep. The entire car was deformed.
Luo Fu was killed on the spot. The driver who caused the accident was a young man named Matt who had gotten drunk. He was also scared silly and didn't even know that the police car had arrived.
Later on, the young man's parents were very reasonable and were willing to compensate Que De with a sum of money and bury Luo Fu's body in private. Que De never saw that money before. The van at the bottom of the quarry was dragged up. The old man was badly mutilated and was taken away by the crematorium to be cremated.
The car had been sold to a junkyard by someone, the money had gone into someone's pocket, and Que De didn't see a single bit of compensation from the parents of the youth that caused the accident.
Que De only had enough time to pull out the bedding in the car and secretly take out the can bottle that Luo Fu saved up, before being chased away by a few people.
For a long time, Que De stayed there, picking up some branches and building a dilapidated shed, covering it with a few pieces of plastic cloth. After that, he also picked up long branches, bamboo sticks and plastic cloth every day, setting up layers of sheds, and covering them with plastic cloth.
Once again, the two of them had a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Que De had lived there for nearly a year, spending all the money in the canned bottles, and the cemetery was in the wilderness, so there wasn't much garbage to pick up for living. Que De had no choice, he knelt in front of Luo Fu's grave for a long time, hugged a blanket and left, then continued living in the garbage heap.
It was also because of Que De's unfortunate childhood experiences that made his personality more extreme and vicious. Last time, Source Alliance had swallowed the close to six hundred billion dollars that they had taken from Black Star Source Bandit Regiment, and when Source Alliance was secretly operated, he reshuffled their Source Alliance and chased away the original four honorary guild leaders and three high ranking directors.
Que De didn't say it, but Shen Lang knew very well that the Blood-red Desert couldn't be removed from the four honorary guild leaders and the three high ranking directors. With Que De's personality, he would definitely exterminate them.
"Let's go. To the imperial capital." Que De pinched a cigarette, got in the car and started the engine, "Shen Lang, you should go to the back to get some sleep, we can change shifts later in the night. Tomorrow morning, we'll almost be there. "
"Alright, then I'll go to sleep first." Shen Lang didn't refuse. He rolled over to the back seat, spread out the seat, took off his shoes and lay down to rest.
A few minutes after the car drove away, Tao Lee, who had already left, walked out from the shadows. He looked at the direction the car left in, took out his phone, directly pressed the dial button, and said in a low voice: "Reporting, Sir, everything is done. Sikong Family Clan, you will receive this news tomorrow morning. "
There was no response from the other end of the phone. A dozen seconds later, Tao Lee hung up and slowly went back into the shadows.
Around 8 in the morning on the second day, Shen Lang drove into the outer city area of Yanhua City. The soundproofing of this car was indeed not inferior to the one they had driven for over a million years.
However, the soundproofing effect of this car was very good, and the corresponding sound absorption effect was also very good. Que De's snores were all heard by Shen Lang, making him want to throw Que De out.
Shen Lang found a restaurant, stopped the car by the side of the road and woke Que De up.
The two of them washed up in the car briefly, then got out of the car and went into the restaurant, ordering some food.
"We were followed before we even entered the Yanhua City." Shen Lang lowered his head as he drank the hot milk and said without raising his head, "We started at around 6 in the morning and changed 7 cars on the road. It's the yellow taxi outside that's following us now. "
