An Lawer took a cab from the airport back to the bookstore. Tongcheng Airport was well-located; a cab from the airport went straight onto the elevated road, and after a few turns after getting off, he arrived at South Street in twenty minutes.

Holding Gengchen in his arms, he strolled along South Street.

These days,

first, they'd dodged pursuers together,

then they teamed up to venture into the Northeast.

One had learned how to hold a baby,

and the other had learned how to be held more comfortably.

The two who had initially been at odds and looked down on each other,

now presented such a harmonious picture.

An Lawyer was truly homesick. He hadn't felt anything before, but after really leaving the bookstore, he had the feeling of a traveler far from home.

Pushing open the door of the bookstore,

it was afternoon.

Old Xu was slaughtering a chicken at the kitchen door.

Old Zhang was back. He hadn't been eating well lately, so after returning, he specifically asked Xu Qinglang to make him braised chicken, saying it went well with rice.

He had taken a cab straight from the train station with the little loli after buying a live chicken at the market.

Originally, Xu Qinglang didn't want to bother with him. He felt like he was taking meals for granted, but seeing Old Zhang still clutching his chest and saying "ouch";

Fine,

he'd slaughter a chicken to nourish him.

After all, he was politically correct in the bookstore,

and needed to be taken care of carefully.

Pushing open the door of the bookstore,

An Lawyer took another deep breath,

that familiar salty smell,

this,

was the taste of home!

Xu Qinglang looked up,

glanced at An Lawyer,

somewhat surprised,

"Yo, you're back."

"Ah, I'm back!"

An Lawyer was in a great mood, tossed Gengchen onto the sofa, and walked up to Xu Qinglang.

When he was in a good mood,

everything seemed beautiful.

An Lawyer even pointed at the chicken that Xu Qinglang had just force-fed with white wine and was about to butcher, and said:

"Chicken, you're so beautiful."

"............" Xu Qinglang.

Did he break his brain on the trip?

An Lawyer coughed to cover up his embarrassment,

and said to Xu Qinglang:

"Xu, you're the most beautiful."

Xu Qinglang was long immune to this kind of praise.

Often, when friends interact, those who are eager for others to say they are "handsome," don't they have any self-awareness about what they actually look like?

On the contrary, this kind of indifference is true confidence.

"Killing a chicken?"

"Yeah."

"Gonna eat chicken?"

"Yeah."

"Braised or soup?"

Xu Qinglang silently picked up the kitchen knife.

"Ah, you keep busy, keep busy. I'll go say hello. By the way, Old Xu, do you know, this time I went all the way to the Northeast escaping, and I really didn't see anyone better than you..."

"Poof!"

The chicken's neck was cut,

and blood began to spurt.

An Lawyer swallowed hard,

"Better than you at cooking."

An Lawyer got up,

his gaze fell on the white fox lying in the corner.

"Oh my, my fox spirit, I missed you so much."

Saying that,

An Lawyer took the initiative to go over,

and held the white fox in his arms.

Honestly,

Gengchen was indeed cute in his current form. Many people on the train had asked, "Your child is so cute."

But he was a boy, after all,

and a female felt more comfortable to hold.

An Lawyer reached out and stroked the white fox,

who only opened her eyes and glanced at An Lawyer when he returned, then continued to close them.

Perhaps, the drunken crab a few days ago was her last bit of debauchery recently.

Now, she really had a sense of transcendence, as if everything in the world were floating clouds.

"Hey, I'm saying, just petting like this isn't satisfying, how about you exert yourself a little and turn into a human so I can keep petting and you can keep sleeping?"

The white fox ignored him.

"Sigh, to be honest, without the flirtatiousness, there's not much meaning anymore.

You know, this time I met a super demon in the Northeast. People still eat, sleep, and get angry as they please. That's living a down-to-earth life."

At this moment,

the little boy and the little loli came down the stairs.

The scarf that had been wrapped around the little boy's neck was now around the little loli's.

The Garfield cat was used to this kind of behavior of being treated as a mascot,

fortunately, the one he was following now was a love saint, and he only needed to please this one.

"A'Fa!"

An Lawyer shouted!

The little boy waved in surprise,

and said:

"You're back."

"I'm back, I'm going to take a shower right away. You see, these days I haven't even had a good..."

"Lin Ke and I are going to visit the Wangs. Lin Ke has been away from home for a while, so we need to go back and report that she's safe. I won't be back for dinner.

If Uncle Wang keeps me, I'll sleep there tonight."

Saying that,

the little boy walked out of the bookstore with Lin Ke.

An Lawyer sighed,

radiating a clear sense of loss.

"Got that feeling of 'the chick is too big for its mother'?"

The white fox added a stab at this time.

An Lawyer ignored it and just said:

"Where's Old Dao? I haven't seen him. Did he go out for tea again?"

Together,

they could flatter and drink tea together,

it was a great thing.

In this world, the greatest happiness is when your leader and your hobbies are the same!

"Next door."

"Heh, is he inspecting the battery packs again?"

"He's about to start generating electricity himself."

The white fox said calmly.

"What's wrong with Old Dao?"

"Why don't you go see for yourself? It was just this afternoon, the boss sent him back, and he's unconscious."

"I'll go take a look. By the way, where's the boss?"

"Upstairs."

"I'll go see Old Dao first."

An Lawyer hurried out of the bookstore and went to the pharmacy next door.

In his eyes,

Old Dao was not his superior, but he was the guarantee that he could truly wear the seal of power and reach the peak of his life in the future!

Nothing could happen to Old Dao.

An Lawyer walked into the pharmacy. Fangfang was sitting there, continuing to watch beauty bloggers recommend whitening mask products.

There was nothing wrong with Old Dao. As the boss had said, he was just on an IV drip of saline.

In previous years, when management wasn't so strict, many hospitals would put you on a saline drip regardless of whether you had a major or minor illness. Anyway, nothing would happen if you hung one of those.

"Yo, Fangfang, long time no see, you've gotten whiter."

"You too, An Lawyer, you've gotten a lot more handsome."

An Lawyer snapped his fingers at Fangfang,

and Fangfang responded with a flirtatious wink.

"I'll go in and take a look."

"Okay."

Fangfang continued to watch the video,

anyway, the people from the bookstore were familiar with the pharmacy. They were all under the same boss, and everyone was essentially the same.

An Lawyer opened the door to the ward,

and was stunned.

Wow,

four beds, fully occupied,

three small and one large.

When An Lawyer saw that "Qing" was also lying here,

he was so scared that he closed the ward door directly.

Holy crap,

this was too much,

this wasn't a battery,

it was really aiming for a nuclear power plant.

Opening the door to the second ward,

Old Dao was lying inside, on an IV drip.

He hadn't woken up yet, and the ward was very quiet.

In fact,

no matter how strong and energetic a person is,

when they lie on a hospital bed,

you will suddenly feel that they have become thin and haggard.

Old An walked closer,

looked at the motionless Old Dao with his eyes closed,

and felt a little uncomfortable.

Usually, Old Dao had always been very healthy and rarely got sick. No matter what happened or what frights he encountered, Old Dao would continue to appear in front of you, alive and kicking, the next day.

Moreover, he didn't know why,

even though it was just a small matter,

just a brief coma,

An Lawyer actually felt a sense of imminent farewell.

Everyone has their own sixth sense. An Lawyer, after all, was someone who often mixed in both the yin and yang worlds, so he was naturally very sensitive to matters of life and death.

At this moment, the ward door was pushed open, and it was Dr. Xiao Lü from the pharmacy who came in.

Dr. Xiao Lü had been studying medical papers on "suspended animation" recently, and had been looking at various documents all night long. The deep panda eyes had already explained everything.

"Oh, I was planning to go to the bookstore. Since you're here, just pass this on for me."

Dr. Xiao Lü handed a file bag to An Lawyer.

An Lawyer picked up the bag and asked curiously:

"What's wrong?"

"The patient's condition isn't good, it's already spread here."

Saying that,

Dr. Xiao Lü reached out and poked his forehead.

"What kind of disease is it that spreads?"

"Cancer."

"............" Equality King An.

...

An Lawyer rushed back to the bookstore in a hurry,

went straight into the kitchen,

and shouted to Old Xu, who was cooking:

"Old Dao has cancer?"

Xu Qinglang paused in stirring the vegetables,

nodded,

"Yes."

"Does the boss know?"

"He knows."

"That's good then."

Hearing this, An Lawyer was slightly relieved. Cancer was a problem that modern medicine had difficulty solving, but for them, they couldn't solve it, but it wasn't a big problem to continue life.

"I say, there's a lot of dishes today. Did you know I was coming back, so you prepared in advance?"

Xu Qinglang replied expressionlessly:

"Yes."

"Hehe, although I know you're lying, it sounds really comfortable."

"An Lawyer, your coffee."

Yingying handed over An Lawyer's exclusive super-sized cup, and at the same time instructed:

"Next time you go out, let's take the coffee with us."

Too much has accumulated, and it's hard to deal with it. It's hard to trick people into drinking it every day, and Yingying is also very distressed.

"Hey, what's the point of going out next time? I'm exhausted.

I can go out, but I will never go to the Northeast again. Whoever makes me go to the Northeast again, I'll go up and smash their head. You don't know what I encountered in the Northeast, I almost didn't come back."

Just then,

Boss Zhou, who had just finished a meeting with Ying Gou upstairs, hurried downstairs,

and shouted:

"Yingying, check the plane tickets to Hegang, Heilongjiang for the next two days.

Everyone, prepare yourselves, we'll leave as soon as possible. The matter is urgent and cannot be delayed."

"Boss!"

An Lawyer walked out of the kitchen door.

Seeing An Lawyer, Zhou Ze's eyes lit up immediately,

The days without An Lawyer,

he really missed him!

It was like Qianlong couldn't live without He Shen.

"Boss, are we going to the Northeast?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I just came back, and I'm very familiar with that place. Don't worry, I'm here, Boss. I just feel that our bookstore has a connection with the Northeast. I specifically went to scout the route before.

See, it's coming in handy now!

Everyone, move quickly and strive to set off as soon as possible!

Boss, let me tell you, the Northeast is really a good place..."
