Luo Xing set up two tables to celebrate Duan Tieniu's official appointment at the Nanya Special Investigation Division. Although Nanya was not allowed to drink alcohol, he still restrained himself at noon, after all, he had to be on duty in the afternoon.
After the banquet, he returned to Nanya. Luo Xing rested for a while, then went to the forging workshop and spent the entire afternoon there.
Forging technology can only grow through proficiency.
If Luo Xing wants to build a sword by himself, he must follow this objective rule without any tricks.
Of course, Huo Shanzi's requirements for him were also very strict. After all, Huo Shanzi almost regarded Luo Xing as his successor at this time.
Although there is hope for his hands to recover, any "surgery" is risky. Even if there is a 70% certainty, what about the remaining 30%?
Therefore, Huo Shanzi also hopes that his skills can be passed down, even if this inheritance is not so pure.
…
Returning home from work in the evening, Luo Xing saw Wen Zhaoping and knew that this guy had something to report to him.
So, we followed the previous agreement.
We met in a private room of a tavern.
"Captain Luo, the warm-up for the Queen of Flowers Conference has begun. Today we have added a check-in section because there are a lot of women participating in the Queen of Flowers Conference today. In previous years, there were only about three or four thousand people, but this year there may be more than 10,000, so
After the primary election, there will be a re-election, the purpose is to filter out two-thirds of the people, and there are so many outstanding talents this year. Tuberose has teamed up with the major gourmet places in the capital to establish a "Flower List", and those who will be on the list
There are a hundred people in total, updated from time to time..."
"Wen Zhaoping, do you think I asked you to monitor and investigate Miss Yumei just for these tidbits?" Luo Xing asked with an unhappy expression.
"Isn't Nanya just collecting relevant information?" Wen Zhaoping was stunned. Could it be that he understood it wrong?
"Do I need you to investigate these things secretly?" Luo Xing scolded, "What I want is the details of this Yumei girl. Do you understand the details?"
"Captain Luo, what are you suspecting? You have to give me a direction. Otherwise, we three brothers and sisters will be like headless flies, not knowing what the point is?" Wen Zhaoping also spread his hands and felt helpless.
When we talk about checking the girl with "Yumei", what exactly are we checking on her?
"First, Yu Mei's true identity, and second, her past and present social relationships, who she associates with, all details, am I clear enough?"
"The real identity, we can't say for the time being. After all, we can only know it from the outside. At present, we have not found that she has a disguised identity, so there is no need for Ye Laixiang to forge an identity for her. This society you are talking about
"Relationship, after our observation in the past few days, she, the girl Yumei, hardly goes out. On weekdays, she only asks people to send some snacks and so on. This is the store and type of snacks she ordered." After saying that, Wen Zhaoping handed over the snacks.
A list.
There are three shops recorded on it, one is for making pastries, Yueshengzhai, Luojing Famous Shop, one is selling preserved fruits and roasted seeds and nuts, and the other is a famous restaurant nearby.
Not only does it have the date, but also the time and specific quantity.
"Everything is delivered to the door and asked to be delivered by the door. No clerk is allowed in." Wen Zhaoping explained.
"Then how does he sell these things?"
"The man will go out every morning to do some shopping. Some things will be brought back directly, while others need to be made fresh. Once they are ready, they will be sent over."
"You weren't discovered, were you?"
"No, Wu Jianfeng and I have also temporarily applied for jobs as nursing homes. This will make it easier to complete the tasks assigned by Captain Luo." Wen Zhaoping said.
"Don't you dislike this job?"
"That's different. We don't do this work for survival, but for the mission, and this is just temporary."
"Have you checked the man named Ding Mohan?"
"He came here twice in total, each time for a short time. He came to see Miss Yumei. We are trying to find a way to let Mengyao pretend to be that kind of woman and move in. It seems that there is an empty room in there that has not been rented out...
"
"There's no way to solve the identity problem, right?"
"Yes, we have no way of doing this unless we forge our identity, but if we find out, we will be in trouble."
"Will you check?"
"Yes, people from the Inspection Department will come to check from time to time. It's okay if they don't find it. But if they find it, it will be troublesome. So we don't dare to act rashly, so we came to Captain Luo to discuss this matter." Wen
Zhaoping Road.
"How is Miss Mengyao's dancing skills?"
"It's okay, but the vocal performance is much worse."
"You bring her to me tomorrow and I will help her change her image so that at least no one can recognize her as Yuan Mengyao. Students from the Zhenwu Academy are also frequent visitors here, as you know."
Wen Zhaoping's face turned slightly red. He had indeed met many acquaintances in the past few days. If he hadn't been on a mission and couldn't speak to others, he would have been laughed to death by those classmates while working here.
"I know, but once Mengyao is listed, she has to accept customers, otherwise she will be suspected?"
"Don't worry about this, I'm just a ready-made customer, aren't I?" Luo Xing chuckled, "Of course, don't worry, I don't have any blasphemous thoughts towards Miss Mengyao. The purpose of doing this is to spy on Miss Yumei.
Condition."
"clear."
"Go out in a moment and go through the back door. Our relationship cannot be exposed." Luo Xing warned, "You have participated in Nanya's written examination for new recruits. If someone asks, do you know what to say?"
"I know, we were not hired, so we have no choice but to come here to work in Hualiu Lane.
"What about Miss Mengyao?"
"Meng Yao has something to do at home, so she's going home first." Wen Zhaoping was stunned for a moment, then thought of an excuse and said.
"No, it was Miss Mengyao who saw how depraved you were now, so she had a quarrel with you and then parted ways." Luo Xing said, "Do you understand?"
Wen Zhaoping thought for a while, then nodded and said: "I understand, Lieutenant Luo."
"Go ahead."
…
Since Yan Fang personally gave the task, Song Yi really wanted to go and meet him for a while.
Returning to Pingkangfang's home, after taking a hot shower, I found Xue Qingqing coming. In Xue Shangxiang's room, mother and daughter were talking about themselves.
The loneliest person at this time was Hong Ying. She was wearing a fox fur and holding a hand-warming copper stove, standing in the yard like this.
A person, alone, looks very distressed.
For more than ten years, she thought she had found support, and even wanted to give her life for it, but all of this became a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water.
"Hongying, it's too cold outside. You haven't fully recovered yet, so you should go back to the house." Luo Xing opened the door and walked out, sighing.
"Yes, seventh brother."
Luo Xing saw a trace of moisture in the corner of Hongying's eyes. He rarely saw Hongying shed tears in his memory. It seemed that although she had received training since childhood, it did not turn her into such a cold and heartless person.
He felt a little distressed. Although he had done some excessive things for the mission, now that he was facing it, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
I always want to do something for her.
"I know that you really want to find your master and ask him why he gave up on you, so if you want to go back to Xirong, I won't stop you."
"Brother Qi, I feel that I have lost the meaning of living in this world."
"What is the meaning of living? Have you seriously considered it?" Luo Xing asked, "Before this, what were you doing every day?"
"I……"
"Actually, the meaning of living is to live. It's that simple. There are not so many answers I want to find. If I have to add one word, it is to live with dignity." Luo Xing said.
"But I don't know what to do?"
"What are you doing? I see if you like this. You can go out to travel around the mountains and rivers and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the world. You can do business and expand your business territory to places where everyone can go. You can also open an orphanage, adopt orphans, and teach them how to behave.
Zi Xiwu will give them a different life..."
Hearing this, Hongying couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
She is an orphan, and she understands very well the situation and dangers faced by orphans. Those who are lucky enough to be adopted will be trafficked, or even starve to death or be eaten by wild beasts.
She had personally seen a child about her age being bitten and devoured by a pack of wild wolves. That scene often appeared in her mind, and it was her childhood nightmare.
"Brother Qi, I want to open an orphanage, is it okay?" Hongying said.
"Have you thought about it?" Luo Xing was surprised. He just said it casually, why Hongying was so touched.
"I am also an orphan. I want to give these children without a father or a mother a place to live and a shelter. I will do my best to do my best."
"Then you definitely can't do it alone. You have to find some like-minded people."
"Find someone?"
"Yes, to open an orphanage, you need space and people. If there are a few children, you can still take care of them. What if there are more children? You can't handle it alone. Luojing has a lot of money, and orphans
The hospital can choose a remote place, but the place must not be small..."
"Ah?" Hongying simply wanted to open an orphanage, but she didn't expect that there would be so many things involved, involving all aspects.
"Hongying, if you have made up your mind, Brother Qi will help you." Luo Xing also had an impulse. His original body was that of an orphan, and if his previous life is included, then so be it.
A person who earns so much money and has such high power will eventually return to dust, and only his reputation will remain.
This is also the spiritual pursuit of human beings.
"But I don't have that much money?"
"You don't, but Seventh Brother does. It's too easy for Seventh Brother to make money, so you don't have to worry about it." Luo Xing chuckled, "When you recover from your injury, we will start planning this matter, how about it?"
"Okay." Hongying nodded.
Luo Xing also felt a stone fall in his heart. Hong Ying's mental state was not very good, but if she could find something to do and give her a place to rest her mind, she would stop thinking wildly. This would undoubtedly be the best for her.
.
Opening an orphanage may not be a fresh start in life for her.
As for what to use the orphanage for, Luo Xing really hasn't thought about it.
…
Hong Ying went back to his room, and Luo Xing stood in the yard for a while. He was about to go back to his room to rest. When he turned around, he suddenly saw Xue Qingqing standing behind him.
"Aunt Xue, don't you make any sound when you walk?" Luo Xing was really distracted just now and didn't notice Xue Qingqing.
"Ji Yu'er", this enchantress also deliberately didn't remind him.
This is a joke waiting to be seen by him.
"I heard what you said to this Hongying girl just now, Luo Xiaoqi, I didn't expect you to have such an idea." Xue Qingqing said.
"I am also an orphan. I was sent to a secret camp since I was a child. I was lucky enough to survive. I feel the same way."
"It's really difficult for a person to grow up in such an environment and still maintain his original intention and innocence. No wonder Lao Meng would accept you as his apprentice." Xue Qingqing nodded.
"Aunt Xue was very complimentary."
"I originally wanted to take Xiang'er away when she gets better, but now I think it's better for her to stay with you," Xue Qingqing said.
"Thank you Aunt Xue for your trust. I will treat Shang Xiang like my own sister."
"I believe this."
"I know you are also a student of medicine. Aunt Xue has nothing to give you. This is the fragment of the "Qing Sang Handbook" from Yaowang Valley, as well as some of Aunt Xue's experience in bone setting and disembowelment.
I'll give it to you." Xue Qingqing handed Luo Xing two brochures.
Luo Xing was not short of money, and it was too tacky to give money away, but Xue Qingqing could only think of these ways to express gratitude.
