Chapter 107: Return to Calendar City(1/2)

None of the three people sitting in the car spoke, Macchiato drove, Buti was thinking about things, while Lake supported her chin with her hands and looked out the window boredly.

To be honest, there is nothing good about the scenery outside the car window, it is nothing more than trees, grass, and bushes of shrubs, and a large green area, forming a green belt leading to the city.

It is said to be a road, but it is actually a repaired dirt road without any paving. The surface of the dirt road is relatively rugged, bumpy, and high and low.

It is because there are a lot of people and vehicles entering and leaving the Lifa City, and the repeated trips are caused by the untreated road surface being damaged and trampled.

Lake looked at the scenery for a while and felt that it was not very big. He closed the window and leaned his head against the car window for a long time. It was not until a violent brake that he realized that they had returned to the place where civilization existed, and they once again came to the whistle that had been reviewed before.

He did not see Liszt who had let them go before, probably because he changed a group of people on duty. The law enforcement officers at the whistle simply screened their cars, confirmed that there was no problem with the temporary pass presented by Macchiato, and then let them go with confidence. He did not ask about the dust-filled charging gun on the co-pilot Macchiato.

"Where are you going to get off the bus?"

As soon as Macchiato drove the car into Dongcheng District, he asked this question.

"Just go to the door of your law enforcement bureau, let's walk back by ourselves."

Buti's tone was also very plain.

It is obvious that after the previous questioning, Macchiato and Buti were in a good mood, and the team that was originally temporarily formed immediately fell apart.

With a squeak, the car stopped opposite the Dongcheng District Law Enforcement Bureau. The old and the young got out of the car. The older one wanted to leave after getting off the car, but the young one shook his head, walked to the cab in the front seat of the car and said a few more words to the driver before leaving the car.

Buti and Macchiato had some conflicts, but Lake did not take this seriously and still expressed gratitude to Macchiato in accordance with the etiquette taught by Doka.

Butty didn't stop him, and stood under the street tree and watched Lake walk towards the cab and talk to Macchiato.

He is not a slim person, but it is not convenient for him to talk to Macchiato about this matter. Besides, they only have such a short time to spend together, there is no need to be so familiar with it, and there is no need to care too much about Macchiato's attitude.

"Dad, who did you help us before? Do you know them? Can you tell me?"

After saying goodbye to Macchiato, Lake and Buti walked to the sidewalk side by side, and he was also very curious about who the two people were before.

However, he was still very tactful and did not ask Macchiato in front of Macchiato in the car. After all, my father's attitude was very obvious. He just didn't want to tell Macchiato, who was a member of the Law Enforcement Bureau's special service, that naturally he could not destroy his father's platform.

"Um……"

Butty hesitated for a moment, thinking about whether to tell Lake that the two were the objects he had yelled in front of the law enforcement bureau before.

“Is it inconvenient to say?”

Lake heard Buti's hesitation and thought he was unwilling to say it.

"It can be said that, but I'm just struggling with whether to tell you."

Buti made a puzzle, which made Lake say a little confused.

"Ah? If you don't want to say it, just don't say it."

Fortunately, Lake was a little concerned, and it was not necessary to know that it was impossible. After hearing that Buti was hesitant, he gave up this idea.

"Let's do this. If you have a chance next time, I'll introduce it to you."

That said, but he felt a little embarrassed to say that, and promised Lake that he would meet him then.

"Let's talk about it then, Dad. We have to leave now quickly. If we slow down, we might not be able to catch up with dinner."

Lake replied perfunctorily, and now he should return to his grandfather's house as soon as possible, otherwise they would have to go out to find food by then.

"We have food in the past, and they don't know if we are back now."

Butty suddenly thought that when Thomson left in the morning, he had never told them when he would come back, so he quickly grabbed Lake's arm, almost causing Lake to fall.

"No, Dad, just talk, don't pull me."

Lake rubbed his arms because Butty's sudden attack just now seemed to have been strained.

"Sorry, sorry."

Butty immediately let go of the left hand that grabbed Lake's arm.

"What should we do? I don't have money on me, and I will have to ask Dad, you pay me."

After so many days of getting along, Lake has become quite thick-skinned. He can't do such a blatant request to others to treat him in the past. But now, he still dares to say something about his father.

"You kid, are you afraid you won't be able to eat after following your dad?" Buti smiled and patted Lake on the shoulder, "Let's go? There should be some restaurant food stalls around here, right?"

"I haven't visited much, I don't know much about it, but I seem to know that there is a night market nearby, which only starts operating in the evening, and then until midnight. It's a situation that can only be seen in Calendar City?"

Lake clicked his temple with his finger.

"It is only in such a developed technological region. I have been to the capital of the country and the capitals of other provinces. However, cities like the calendar are as glorious as the nights. Ordinary families just go to bed at night, so there is no extra money to find happiness."

Buti couldn't help but sigh after hearing Lake say there was a night market nearby.

"Indeed, every time I come from the calendar, I compare it with the city where we live. I often sigh that it is just a few dozen kilometers apart, so how can the gap be so big."

Lake nodded and echoed.

"Time flies so fast. I often feel that I am still the young man in my twenties or thirties before. Not long after I left the army, it was too fast. This time passed, and in the blink of an eye, I became an old man."

Buti didn't know what he remembered, but suddenly sighed that time flew.

"Yes, the level of technology is changing so fast now. A new technology was invented some time ago, and it turned into a prop product in a blink of an eye."

Lake couldn't figure out what he said, which touched his father's thoughts, so he had to follow his words.

"What are you saying, a young man! How old are you? What do you know?"

Buti looked at Lake, and said with some amusement.

"We should have arrived! The street that turned the corner should be."

Lake suddenly stopped, saw the street sign in front of him, hesitated for a moment, nodded, and confirmed that the street sign he saw was the destination they were looking for.

"Are you sure? I think there are not many people here?"

Butti walked over quickly, turned around, and did not see the expected lively scene.

There are no roads on the streets that have been regularized by magic, only sidewalks paved with gravel bricks. There are not many people. Pedestrians in groups of three or three stroll on the streets slowly, and there are not many vendors in the bustling night market.

Only a few shops were built on both sides of the road near the edge of the stone wall, as if proving that Lake's words were made that this place was indeed a market.

"It's only the hour now. Did the late-food bell ring when we just came back not long?"

Lake walked to Buti and saw the scene on the street, but he was not panicked. He poked Buti's waist and pointed to the already dark sky under Budi's puzzled eyes.

"Dad, you have to wait until it's completely dark, and this place will be the beginning, otherwise it's called the night market, just called the evening market."

"What is the name of the evening market? It's not easy at all."

Buti looked up at the sky. It was indeed as Lake said. The sky was not completely dark yet, and he could still find some yellow in the sky.

"What if he doesn't matter, but we came a little early. So what do we say? Have a walk around? Or can we just go find a restaurant to eat?"

Lake rubbed his stomach and felt a little hungry, so he planned to ask Buti for advice to pay later.

"Whatever you want, I'm fine anyway, why? Are you hungry?"

Buti smiled sly.

"It's a bit. I vomited cleanly when I was at the Walnut Farm before, and there was nothing in my stomach to digest."

Originally, Lake didn't feel hungry when he was on the road, but when he arrived at this place, he smelled the smell of barbecue from the air and suddenly became hungry. His stomach was "gurgling", which made him feel a little embarrassed.

"Okay, let's just go to find a restaurant. When you are still growing, you have to eat more when you can."

Buti expressed his comments on Lake's physical development problems and expressed his strong support for Lake's development.

"I'm sixteen years old! I'm considered an adult, but I still have a body?"

Lake looked like "I read less, don't lie to me." He was not disgusted with others saying that he had not grown up, but he didn't really believe that his body could still grow? After all, his height has not grown for several years, and it seems like he is fixed.

"That's right, I've seen a girl in her twenties grow taller."

When Butty heard that Lake didn't believe what he said, he brought out the actual cases he had seen to explain to Lake.

"I haven't seen it before!"

But Lake ignored it. After all, he had never read this kind of knowledge. Of course, this has something to do with his dislike of reading books about biology knowledge.

"Then do you say you're hungry?"

Butty saw that he and Lake could not continue talking, so he turned over the table and stopped playing.

"Hungry."

As the person who doesn't bring a wallet, Lake still needs to respect the payer.

"Then stop talking, lead the way, let's go to dinner, and then go to your grandpa's house."

The rich financial owner Buti made important instructions.

"Then I can ask, why do we still have to go to my grandfather's house? Wouldn't it be better if we go directly to my uncle tomorrow?"

Lake actually doesn't want to go so many roads. After all the troubles today, he is a little exhausted physically and mentally.

"Your grandpa sent us there, so we must not say anything to others when we come back? Besides, that's your grandpa, not my grandpa! Wouldn't it be good to take you to see more? If you want to see him again in the future, I don't know when it will be."

Buti said with a stare, whispering beard.

After hearing Buti say "I don't know when I will be able to come back", Lake was suddenly poked by Buti, and the sadness that was inexplicably surging was filled with his brain. His uncontrollable emotions made his eyes accumulate tears and he looked at him waterily.

"Hey, don't cry, I just said I don't know when, and I didn't say I couldn't come back."
