When it started to get dark, the classic car site was lit up with a mess of lights and candlelight.
Not every shack here has electricity, and the messy wires are connected to many old generators. Just maintaining water and electricity in the entire camp costs a lot of money.
This night was lively and lively, with crowds of people on the dirt streets. In front of the butcher shop, people shared a large pot of hot soup made from whole pigs. Those who drank the soup tsk-tsk, and those who didn't drink it shouted.
On those darkened faces, smiles revealed rotten teeth, as well as teeth filled with brass, alloys and other materials.
Gu He, Lorna and Pandora were watching the excitement from a distance. The bad doorman was drinking a bowl of soup and came over to ask them if they wanted to drink too. Laojia Che told them to give them as much as they wanted.
But I'm a bit worried about the rotten doorknob. These three people look like they have big stomachs.
"Uh, no need..." Gu He didn't want to drink the hot soup which was definitely not clean and hygienic.
"It's a bad doorknob. We drink and eat in Kabukicho every day, and we don't care about you." Lorna was not interested either.
They didn't want to drink, no one cared anyway, and they wished they didn't drink, so the broken doorknob breathed a sigh of relief.
Staying overnight in a mud pond is really not a good experience. Everything here is too dirty.
It is not easy to make friends with the people here. Unlike the enthusiasm and unrestrained freedom of the wilderness people, these garbage guys have many annoying aspects. The people here are not very knowledgeable, but they are not simple.
But who made them do this?
Pandora had no intention of making friends. Gu He and Lorna chatted with a few young scavengers, and gradually started chatting with Lu Qi, the Eastern cultivator.
I have been busy during the day, but I have never met him formally. Now that I have some free time, I have become acquainted.
The two of them arrived at Lu Qi's residence as guests. It was a small and old iron shack. When they entered the doorway, there was a living room and bedroom. Lu Qi said it was a "humble room", which was not modest at all.
The room was quite tidy and clean, and there was a bookshelf that was incompatible with the muddy pond, with several stacks of books on it.
Lu Qi came from Dongtu Street and was a disciple of a bookstore called "Wenhe Pavilion" there.
The so-called guohua masters, whether it is the concepts they pursue or the methods of program improvement, are all guohua - walking through a place, influencing others with their own words, deeds, and practical deeds to educate others.
His Q-level program "Excessive changes preserve the spirit", and only those who feel the effects of it will be effective, and therefore respond to his program.
Gu He thought that it sounded so simple, but it was somewhat similar to Elizabeth's heroic redemption process.
"In this city, what place is more in need of a translator than the rotten mud pond?" Lu Qi said.
That's why Lu Qi is here.
But it is difficult to do anything here. He finally got a breakthrough today and can raise pigs.
Lu Qi’s idea is to build his own pig pen and prove to everyone here through his own pig raising behavior that pig raising is economically beneficial and feasible. This will make the classic car site better.
However, the problem with raising pigs with swill is that pigs are prone to getting sick, and they have to add some antibacterial drugs into the swill.
"I think your efforts will be in vain." Lorna said while looking at the titles of the books on the bookshelf: "I won't talk about whether swill will feed pigs to death, I don't know.
“But how long does it take for a sow to go from pregnancy to giving birth to piglets and then to piglets growing up?
"It's hard to say whether the classic car site will still be there by then. How many of these people who are drinking soup and eating meat tonight can wait. Even if there is no problem with swilling, what about the pig thieves? Is there really an environment for raising pigs here? Anyway, I think it is very
Disaster."
"I'm stupid." Lu Qi sighed after hearing this, "I can only do my best."
Gu He pulled Lorna and whispered to her softly: "Lu Qi raises pigs in the muddy pond, engages in red rain balls with Elizabeth, and engages in bone and blood sports with your father. There is no difference."
Lorna was silent and had no more thoughts of burying Tai Lu Qi.
"Raise it, raise it, don't you have something called an idiom in Dongtu dialect?" She turned around and said, "Maybe in a few years, there will be a whole 'Lu Qi Raising Pigs', just like that Foolish Old Man who moved mountains."
"Come to think of it, Lu Qi, it's like this..." Gu He decided to teach him everything he had, "I happen to know a little bit about sow breeding techniques, calf care, and postpartum care. I'll tell you later.
Talk about it."
Lorna looked at him doubtfully, her eyes clearly asking: How do you understand this?
Whether they are children in ruins, children in basements or children in caves, most people will not understand.
"I have read books on this before." Gu He could only spread his hands, "I like reading books, so I read them if I have them."
"Thank you! If there are three of us, I will be my teacher. Please teach me all the pig-raising techniques, Brother Gu."
Lu Qi was very happy about this, "I had heard about your charitable deeds in Kabukicho when I went shopping in the walled city before, and Miss Elizabeth Sterling's Red Rain House. Lu thought it was a matter of enlightenment.
.”
"She played earlier than you, and she's a little older than you," Lorna said. "Call her red-haired Lizzie, she likes it that way."
Gu He heard this and thought about it, Lu Qi is also a street friend that Hongyu Group can win over.
Especially there are not many friends active in Lundi Pond, where else can you find them?
Think about it, if Lu Qi continues to work here at Lao Xiacha and does it well, Lao Xiachu and the others will all become friends of Hongyu Tuan, a point in the rotten mud pond.
"We are quite familiar with red-haired Liz," he said. "With her personality, she will be very happy to get to know you."
"That's Lu's honor." Lu Qi said happily, "I wonder if she can fund some charity here?"
Gu He stopped immediately, opened the lid of the thermos cup in his hand, and took a sip of wolfberry water.
The big cup has been thoroughly cleaned inside and out. He will definitely have to use it to drink water in the future. He gritted his teeth and took the first sip, but it was not difficult after that, although it was not very clean and hygienic in terms of senses.
Charity? He thought, Goose himself is short of money...
But if it was him who introduced him, she would probably give it to him. She was already very sad the last time she came to Langni Pond, and she has been blaming herself for doing too little recently. If Lu Qi is busy here, she will also be happy.
"Maybe." Gu He couldn't finish his words, "But Hongyu House has limited funds, so it definitely won't be too much."
"Lu is not looking for money," Lu Qi said, "but he is just looking for dedication."
They settled on this, and Gu He turned around to introduce him.
"We want to go shopping on Dongtu Street in a few days." Lorna asked, "Do you have any good tour guides to recommend?"
"Wouldn't it be great to have friends from far away?" Lu Qi immediately recited another sage's words happily, "You are welcome to visit Wenhe Pavilion, but I want to stay here and cannot greet you..."
Lu Qi thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Most of the nine disciples of our sect are wandering around in the world, but the younger brother Lu Jiu has not yet left the army. When you go to Dongtu Street to play, you can ask him to greet you."
Lu Jiu? Lorna sounded a little curious, "So your names are Lu Yi to Lu Jiu?"
"No, these are our generations." Lu Qi went to the locker and rummaged around, "Most of us were born as street orphans. We were adopted by Master Wei Fuzi, who gave us enlightenment and wisdom, and we are now where we are today."
Lu Qi took out a business card and gave it to them. It was a token. He took it with him to the Wenhe Pavilion and there was someone to receive him.
Of course Gu He accepted it. He and Lorna were worried about not having the relationship with them on Dongtu Street.
Lao Fan, the food and fat man, obviously has many old friends and perhaps old acquaintances, but he is not very willing to help.
I heard that the forces on Dongtu Street are complex, and the network of Duowenheguan is also good.
Meeting Lu Qi was an unexpected surprise.
At this time, heavy footsteps came from outside the shack, and people on the street shouted respectfully: "Classic car!"
"Lu Qi, are these two guests here with you?" The strange hissing sound of the old car came in.
"Exactly, classic car, please come in." Lu Qi walked to the door to greet him as a sign of respect.
Gu He had heard him say before that the old car was a man he respected, so he chose to live here.
It is not easy to create such a well-regulated territory in this place and maintain it for many years.
The figure with a complicated casing of a classic car walked into the shed. The mechanical armor all over his body had countless small indicator lights flashing, and his eyes were covered even by the fully-obstructed helmet.
"Two distinguished guests." The old car looked at Gu He and Lorna, "The alien species has been preliminarily processed. We found that its claws are very hard and are rare materials. We would like to give you a copy."
"Uh..." Gu He asked Lorna. It seemed nice to receive a gift. The classic car was also a sign of goodwill.
"Okay, we want it." Lorna is not polite. She is not being polite to some trash guys. Besides, it is what they worked hard to get. It is normal to share a portion.
When she thought of something, she asked: "Old car, our off-road vehicle is a bit damaged. Do you think you can use this material and add some other things to repair and modify it according to my wishes?"
Classic Car Site not only sells cars, but also specializes in the business of modifying such vehicles.
In this city, there is no place where it is cheaper to modify a vehicle than here, and it is definitely full of weird things. The scavengers have everything available to meet almost all requirements, and they often bring surprises.
Many people from the wilderness will come here to modify their cars.
"No problem." The old car's voice was still hoarse and calm, "But we have never modified a exotic vehicle. This is our first attempt, so we cannot guarantee the effect."
"Let's try it first." Lorna couldn't tell, because she wasn't even familiar with that off-road vehicle, the Daniu Niu.
Gu He felt a little frightened when he thought of Da Niu Niu.
He has already told Lorna that you have to teach the big bull a lesson, otherwise it will not hit people, nor will it hit flowers and plants.
Lorna said, first take care of your own big cup and don't flick it around.
Suddenly, the big cup in Gu He's hand emitted a flashlight's strong light, which illuminated the chest of the upper body of the classic car. It seemed to be scanning with X-rays and seeing everything clearly.
Before he could throw the thermos cup out in time, it already made a sound: "Small cup, small cup!"
The atmosphere in the shack condensed, and the three people and the old car fell silent.
Gu He felt absolutely horrified. Is it crazy? It said such words to a man who should be middle-aged and elderly...
But this really makes him a little strange. Dabeibei is a very picky thing. It only reacts when faced with those beautiful women with good figures. If it is a relatively flat one like Pandora, it will ignore it.
.
As for men... Da Bei Bei never reacts, even when faced with a rich man like Lao Fan.
What's going on now? A thought couldn't help but arise in Gu He's mind. Could it be that the old car is a woman?
"Classic car, I'm sorry..." he hesitated, "this thermos cup is broken, and I will say some incomprehensible things all day long."
Over at the door of the shack, the master stood there, motionless.
"I'm not talking nonsense." Da Bei Cup protested with a sound of knocking steel. "Da Bei Cup can be seen through a telescope. It's really Xiao Bei Cup, not Lao Bei Cup. It's a woman. I want to eat women, eat them."
Once I have a woman, I am a human being."
"..." Gu He really didn't know how to explain it. He must study how to turn off its voice function when he goes back.
Luo Na raised her eyebrows when she heard this. Lu Qi didn't know, but she also knew Da Bei Bei's temperament...
She also said jokingly: "The person wearing the mask is probably a girl."
"Classic car, you're not a girl, are you?" Lorna looked at the facial position of the classic car helmet, "This thermos cup of ours is actually quite discerning."
The old car still said nothing, looking at them as if thinking about something.
At this moment, Matong's heart was twisted into a ball, full of tension and confusion, they knew!
How would they know, they probably knew all along.
I know that there is a woman inside the casing of the classic car, a girl who may not be 17 or 18 years old...
This is a play, they are singing a double act with the thermos cup, using the mouth of the thermos cup to give her this hint.
But why now? If they already knew, then before fighting the alien species, they could use this to threaten her and find what they want...
And during the day, this thermos cup also saw her. Why didn't he say anything at that time?
Why now?
Many thoughts flashed through Matong's mind. The mud pond is a dangerous place, and you need to be careful when doing business with others. She has been trying to be a classic car this year, and she has already suffered several embarrassing losses.
Did they come here just to find the resurrection species, or did they change their minds and want to swallow the corpse of the resurrection species?
Or... Matong looked at Lu Qi, what were they talking about with Lu Qi just now? Is Lu Qi the one who already knew and just told them the secret.
In order to hide the truth, she would not take off her body shell except in the old car shed where no one was allowed to enter.
But even so, she couldn't be sure that the secret had never been revealed.
Especially until today, I have never really seen the extraordinary strength of this educator...
Ma Tong felt as if there was a dragnet surrounding her, all the joy was dissipating, and some were panicked.
"Uh..." Gu He could see something was wrong. The old car wouldn't suddenly become angry and have a stroke.
What the fuck? Lorna looked at the old car and was speechless. Why did she feel like she was right?
"Whatever you want to say, just say it." The old car finally spoke with a hoarse voice: "No need to beat around the bush."
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." Gu He didn't want to cause trouble, but he didn't know what the classic car had misunderstood.
"I'm stupid..." Lu Qigen couldn't interrupt, "I don't understand the current situation."
"Daughter of flesh and blood, come with me and I'll talk to you," said the old car.
Lorna shrugged and followed the old car out of the shack. Gu He also followed, watching Lorna and the old car go away in the dark night, and stood talking next to an empty garbage dump.
Both figures looked hazy.
"Big cup, it's all because of your incompetence." He blamed the thermos cup in his hand.
After a while, Lorna turned around and walked back, while the classic car walked slowly in the other direction.
Gu He went up to meet her and saw Lorna with a funny look on her face and a cigarette in her mouth.
"What's wrong?" he asked confused.
"Connect, connect, small cup, big secret." Lorna tilted her head at him.
Gu He immediately released his blood thread to connect with her, and suddenly he heard her laughing loudly in his mind: "Laojia is really a girl, about the same age as Angel Sterling, there really are such people!"
"What? How is it possible?" Gu He was stunned, and the soul of Bagua burned fiercely.
Didn't it mean that classic cars have been entrenched in the muddy pond for many years? It is impossible to become such a boss at such a young age. The star boy is so precocious that he can join Mike's entire thermos gang at most.
Lorna happily told the secret she had just learned, that "classic cars" are a legacy, and that girl's name is Zhentong.
"Ah..." Gu He understood now that he was also a master of classic cars, "Why did she tell you everything?"
"Da Bei Bei frightened her." Lorna was still laughing. "She thought we were plotting against her. I didn't even have to say anything, she just shook it out on her own. She was just a little butt girl, and she was acting like a bitch."
Classic car.”
Lorna took a puff of her cigarette, smiled and then stopped, but then she remembered that she had been the same before.
"Forget it if you and I know, don't tell anyone else, Pandora, Hua Qing, don't tell anyone, that's it.
"We will leave in two days, but Classic Cars still has to run this place."
She looked at the dark, starless night sky and blew out a cloud of smoke.
"Yes, I understand." Gu He looked at the old car slowly walking away over there, it was really hard to tell.
It really echoed what Lorna said just now, the person wearing a helmet, mask, and veil is probably a girl.
"Then how did you tell Ma Tong? Ma Tong, right?" he asked.
"Just say it like that, so that she doesn't have to worry. We are indeed here to dig through the garbage. It is true that the thermos cup is talking nonsense. Also, if she doesn't want to hang around in the muddy pond anymore, I will introduce her to become a mercenary." Lorna said.
.
Gu He looked at the busy camp streets in the distance and had a feeling, "She won't leave."
"I also think that she is the kind of person who will die in a muddy pond. I just want to tell her... that she is not alone."
Lorna looked up at the night sky with a slight smile on her face, "Actually, it's good for her to wear it secretly like this.
"If you are not known to exist or understood by anyone in the world, sometimes you will be very annoyed. If you are known to exist and understood by others, you will want to live even more." She said aloud.
.
"Stop smoking that cigarette, it's very uncomfortable..." Gu He couldn't help but cough, and his head was about to feel dizzy.
Lorna rolled her eyes, threw away the remaining cigarette and stamped it out, and then actively disconnected the empathy connection.
"Don't feel uncomfortable anymore," she said. "You go and teach Lu Qi how to raise pigs. I'll go to the bar to find a drink."
Suddenly, both of them were startled when they saw a heavily equipped off-road vehicle passing by on the road over there.
"Da Niu Niu, Da Niu Niu!" Gu He shouted quickly, but the cat ignored him.
All its windows are open and the wind is blowing. You can see that there is no one in the car, and you can also hear it playing rock music and blaring the car horn as if singing together: "Bang bang, bang bang bang -"
Lorna immediately took steps and walked quickly, "What the hell, my car wants to run away!"
