He doesn't want Shen Yan to go to the border to join the army.
When the two met today, he also asked Shen Yan not to tell Hai Lan.
This made him feel quite uneasy.
Walking on the road, he began to think about his next career choice.
In fact, if given the chance, he very much hopes to become a professional soldier.
Young man, I have the honor to serve my country and live up to my youth!
This is Shen Yan's ambition since childhood.
The Kingdom of God is the last pure land of mankind.
"Humanity in this world will destroy itself sooner or later, and by then, the world outside the Kingdom of God will become hell."
Back then... Li Ruochu and his wife had known about this future for a long time, so they made a deal with "her" to create the last piece of pure land for mankind in hell.
Today's Kingdom of God covers an area of about 500 square kilometers. But the outer areas are constantly being transformed into hell. In recent years, some people in the border army have begun to listen to the demagoguery of the Blood Hell Church, and defections have occurred frequently. At the border, The power of the Kingdom of God will be greatly weakened.
And outside... According to the Blood Hell Church, the hell cave is constantly expanding. Sooner or later, all the entrances to hell will be opened in the present world. At that time, the present world will be divided into independent alien spaces.
Today, the parliament of the Kingdom of God is basically a conservative faction, and the military, headed by General Hai, is a hardliner. Major military decisions require resolutions passed by the parliament.
For Shen Yan, the most terrifying thing is...maybe the land under his feet will one day completely transform into a part of hell.
At this time, on the road, an old lady was crossing the road. A group of people immediately rushed up to her, scrambling to help her.
"Old lady, please be careful when you walk..."
"Get out of the way, I saw the old lady first!"
"It's obviously me first!"
Scenes like this are not uncommon in the Kingdom of God.
Those who do good deeds can receive rewards from angels, which are often the things they need most.
This is the most fundamental basis of production relations in the Kingdom of God.
If you look up, you will find a huge billboard: "Kindness is the primary productive force in the Kingdom of God" and "Justice is the last word."
At this moment, the old lady was suddenly pushed to the ground by the people around her who were rushing to help her without paying attention!
And because of the delay of this group of people, a car happened to drive over from the front!
This group of people immediately dispersed!
The old lady who fell to the ground couldn't stand up for a while! And the car didn't even brake!
Shen Yan no longer hesitated, rushed forward and helped the old lady up, but when the car was about to hit him, he could only push the old lady aside!
The car hit Shen Yan hard!
…
"Ruochu."
"Um?"
Li Ruochu only felt that he had a severe headache. When he opened his eyes, he saw an extremely beautiful woman wearing a black kimono.
"I?"
"What's wrong?" the woman in black kimono asked.
"I seemed to have had a dream just now. I dreamed that I was going to save an old lady and was hit by a car."
He was lying in an antique room, and inside the room, a stick of incense was being lit.
He remembered.
I am Li Ruochu, a guest of the Bai family.
"You should get up quickly." The woman in kimono said, "Miss Mei is here early."
"Come early?"
"Um."
"ok, I get it."
Li Ruochu was about to stand up when he suddenly asked: "That..."
The woman in black kimono looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
"This year is...the twenty-first year of the Republic of China, right?"
"If you are joking with me..." the woman in black kimono said, "I don't think it's funny. If you don't like the chronology of the Republic of China, you can also tell me the year of my hometown. This year counts as the seventh year of the Showa era."
"Yes...I'm sorry, I have remembered everything now."
Li Ruochu smiled, indeed, this was indeed the character of Ninety Nine Green in his memory.
"I have informed you, and I will go to the doll room next." After saying this, Jiujiurei left.
So, Li Ruochu got up and started to wash up.
Although he is said to be a guest, he is actually engaged in the duties of a housekeeper.
The responsibility is... to manage the Bai family's business for "her".
Miss Mei can be said to be a big customer recently. The Mei family has trade relations with the National Government and even foreigners. The key to this business is to build connections.
For Li Ruochu, nothing else is important, the key is the agreement between him and "her".
"Sooner or later, Japan will invade the south. Warlords are fighting endlessly at home. This country will be divided up by the big powers, and sooner or later it will perish."
Li Ruochu saw this very clearly.
This world... has no retribution.
Good people are bullied and oppressed by others, and those who gain power...are all a bunch of dressed-up beasts.
This world shouldn't be like this.
He pinned all his hopes on "her". After meeting the transaction conditions...
He put on his Chinese tunic suit and walked out of the room.
…
Seeing Meimi again, Li Ruochu found that she was now dressed in a more Western style, and standing next to Li Ruochu, who was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, seemed somewhat incongruous.
"We meet again, Mr. Li."
Meimi seemed to smile a little more than when he met in Songhu half a year ago.
"Hello, Miss Mei, please follow me. You are a distinguished guest, and I will personally take you to see 'her'."
"I understand, Mr. Li."
"Besides...you can just call me Ruochu."
Along the way, Meimi looked at the servants walking around and asked Li Ruochu: "Um...are they all the same as you?"
"What did Miss Mei say?"
"Just like that time, the Japanese soldiers clearly shot you, and I thought you were dead. But after taking you to the hospital, your wounds were completely healed!"
"They are different from me."
"Is it true that... you won't die? And you won't grow old?"
"As long as 'she' is still here, then I am indeed immortal."
Li Ruochu still remembered Meimi's surprised expression. It was no wonder that it was unbelievable for anyone to remain unscathed after being shot.
"Do you all call Mrs. Bai 'she'?"
"You'd better call me that."
…
Li Ruochu took Meimi through the long corridors and came to...
"Her" residence.
All transactions of the Bai family are conducted here.
When I opened the door, a faint scent of incense hit my face.
In front of the huge room is a screen as tall as one person.
Li Ruochu asked Meimi to sit down.
"I brought Miss Mei."
After Li Ruochu finished speaking, a voice came from the other side of the screen: "Miss Mei, are all the items needed for the transaction ready?"
"Well, I also wasted a lot of effort. This is a British countess who donated the body to the hospital. I cleared a lot of connections before bringing the body out. In addition, I already know the relevant price.
, I brought all the money.”
"Very good. Then, Miss Mei, please tell me your request in detail."
Across the screen, it was obvious that Meimi was a little unhappy. But then, she still said: "I want to be like Ruochu, who can... never grow old! Never die!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Ruochu was slightly surprised.
"Yes." "She" on the other side of the screen replied: "If you want to realize this wish, you only need to pay 50,000 oceans."
"Fifty thousand... ocean?" The price still frightened Meimi: "I didn't bring that much cash?"
Li Ruochu immediately explained: "The current situation is different, and prices are naturally extraordinary. If the Japanese continue to go south in the future, we may not be able to use the currency of the National Government. What's more, your wish is... to live forever."
"Can I pay in installments?"
"I'm sorry." Li Ruochu said without hesitation: "Of course, you can trade in the items. We have a master craftsman specially invited from the old pawn shop in Peking to do the valuation."
"I did bring some jewelry, but 50,000 yuan is too expensive. I can only pay 20,000 yuan at most." After thinking about it, she asked again: "Can't I just..."
"Yes." Unexpectedly, "she" actually agreed: "But you have to pay the corresponding risks."
"risk?"
"If you're willing to take the risk, I can reduce the price to twenty thousand oceans."
"What... risk?"
"I can't tell you this. If you are not willing to take risks, the price cannot be lowered."
After thinking for a while, Meimi finally gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! I promise! As agreed, I will never grow old or die! I will keep my youthful and beautiful face forever, and will never age or become ugly!"
