I slept until noon when I was woken up by the sound of frantic knocking on the door on the ninth day of the lunar month.
"Guo Guo, I'm so hungry. I haven't even eaten breakfast. Huh? Your waist? Guo Guo, have you changed from a boy to a man?"
After opening the door, Chujiu saw me limping while holding on to my waist. He happened to see Zhang Xuan putting on makeup and called me sister-in-law with a wicked smile on her face.
Zhang Xuan came over and took my arm, looking at me with a tender look on her face. She was also hungry.
Looking at the look in Chujiu's eyes, I really can't explain it now.
When I passed by the hotel bar, the boss looked at my appearance, waved his hand and asked me to pay the room fee for the next day, and whispered to me that he had some health pills here.
On the ninth day of the lunar month, I wanted to continue eating Sichuan food, but Zhang Xuan firmly disagreed. Finally, I saw a noodle shop in Shaanxi, and of course I wanted to eat noodles. It turned out that Zhang Xuan was also from Shanxi, and I was an authentic fellow villager.
"It's better to buy a plaster, this pain is too uncomfortable."
I passed by a drugstore and after much deliberation I decided to buy a plaster to put on it. Zhang Xuan reminded me to buy the one made by Yunnan Baiyao. This product is very effective and they used to use it frequently.
Chujiu looked at the obvious footprints on my waist and poked me again with his finger in surprise. The pain made me grin.
"Guo Guo, I'm afraid I won't be able to master this kick in less than ten years."
Chu Jiu gloated and asked me what was going on. I casually told him that I didn't believe Zhang Xuan could protect us, so I made some gestures.
"How many rounds did you last?"
What a waste of a round, the battle is over with just one kick!
Chujiu glanced at Zhang Xuan, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. As expected, a girl who looked so gentle and beautiful could have such terrifying lethality.
"Guo Guo, help me get my backpack."
When Chujiu handed me my backpack, he slapped the plaster on my waist. The pain made me break out in a cold sweat.
"Fortunately, luckily I didn't hurt any muscles or bones."
Chujiu clicked her lips, apparently showing mercy.
I'm sorry, I kicked it with bare feet. If I had worn shoes, I would probably have to go to the hospital.
Zhang Xuan was glared at by me, and she said with some embarrassment that she would be gentle from today on, never use violence against me, and be a good girlfriend.
"Chujiu, what's in your backpack? Why is it so heavy? You never carry a backpack when you go out."
I returned the backpack in my hand to Chujiu. Chujiu made a gun gesture with his thumb and index finger. It was not safe to leave it in the hotel, so he just threw it in the bag and took it with him.
"Chujiu, you know how to drive, right? I will leave the driving task to you from now on."
Zhang Xuan took out a car key from his pocket and threw it to Chujiu. Chujiu curled his lips. Wan Li was the only one who had the right to say that he drove an average car.
After getting in the car, Chujiu murmured that it was cool to see Wanli wearing a gun when he went on missions before.
Now that I carry one with me, I feel like it is a burden, and I am afraid that it will be lost accidentally. Wan Li said that if he loses it, he will go to jail.
"Wanli will also go to jail, so what are you afraid of? It's all registered in Wanli's name. Don't worry, don't feel any pressure."
It seemed that Zhang Xuan still held grudges against Wan Li for snatching her title of King of Soldiers, and wished that someone would teach her to clean up Wan Li. Zhang Xuan reminded her to call her Yiyi when going out on the ninth day of the lunar month.
"Sister-in-law Yiyi, can I keep this for myself?"
Chujiu pointed at his backpack. Zhang Xuan rolled his eyes at Chujiu. It's a waste of dreams. It's better to ask the commander-in-chief for this kind of thing. The deputy commander only has authorization to use it, but the dagger is fine.
Chu Jiu casually asked where we were going, muttering that if he saw Mr. Xu another day, he would ask if he could give us a gun to play with.
"Do you think it's fun to play with your big round head?"
Zhang Xuan told Chujiu about the qualifications for carrying guns. They need to have certain qualifications and identities, and also need to apply for a gun license. Standard weapons are even more troublesome. They are reviewed by relevant departments every year, and each bullet fired must be written with specific information.
Report description purpose.
Chujiu heard Zhang Xuan explain a series of procedures. He lowered his head and decided to forget it. No one would care about how he played with the shotguns in his village.
"Oh, you really have a talent. You can remember the route you took once."
Chujiu didn't even look at the traffic map on the car, and just relied on his own memory to drive to the city center.
"Thank you sister-in-law Yiyi for the compliment."
Zhang Xuanzheng was scolding me for being a grown man who couldn't even drive. On the ninth day of the month, he even described the incident when I drove two kilometers back to the village and almost scared him out of his wits.
"I heard Wan Li talking about you."
When Wan Li handed over the mission to Zhang Xuan, he casually said that Chu Jiu was very talented and would definitely become the king of soldiers if he was in the army.
Zhang Xuan thought to herself at that time, if you become the King of Soldiers, you can grab a handful of cabbage in the vegetable field? Knowing that when she met Chujiu this time, she had a vague feeling that this child was extremely talented and was the material for the King of Soldiers.
"Hey, sister-in-law Yiyi, actually my strongest talent is bargaining. I'll let you see it in a moment."
Knowing that we were out buying clothes for Zhang Xuan, Chujiu was as happy as if she had new clothes to wear.
"You still have talent for bargaining? It's just a matter of saying a few words."
Zhang Xuan glanced at me and realized that my younger brother is quite talented in comedy.
Chujiu felt that she was being looked down upon and winked at me, meaning that she would ask Zhang Xuan to pick out her own clothes when we arrived at the mall.
Perhaps because of her military status, most of the clothes Zhang Xuan looked at were sportswear. Such clothes would not affect her actions even if she was fighting.
Zhang Xuan entered a sportswear store. Chujiu and I pretended to look at men's clothing, deliberately keeping some distance from her.
About ten minutes later, Zhang Xuan walked to the boss carrying a set of sportswear. Chujiu and I looked at each other and smiled, and walked silently not far from her.
After much hard work, Zhang Xuan negotiated with the boss for two hundred yuan on a set of sportswear priced at two hundred and forty yuan. Chujiu shook her head as she listened.
"Brother, I like this deal, come over and pay."
Zhang Xuan held up the sportswear in her hand and waved at me, "Holy shit, you're a soldier and you actually asked me to pay you, so you forgot about jumping me away."
Chujiu and I put down the men's clothes and walked to the cashier. Chujiu took the sportswear from Zhang Xuan, glanced at it and threw it on the bar.
"How much does this cost?"
The boss smiled and replied that it originally cost two hundred and forty yuan, but now it only costs two hundred yuan because of his fate with this beautiful girl.
"What? My sister and I just bought the same set the day before yesterday. You only paid sixty yuan, and now it costs two hundred? Do you really think I haven't bought any clothes?"
Chujiu pretended to be angry. The boss was stunned for a long time, pointed to a piece of white paper at the door, and weakly said that his store was closed the day before yesterday and was not open at all.
"Hammer, you didn't buy it in this store. We went to the wrong place. Let's go out and look for it again."
Chu Jiu threw down his clothes, pulled Zhang Xuan and I and walked out the door. I suppressed my smile for a long time and finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hey, wait a minute, little brother, don't go out looking for it, I can get it here for sixty."
