Disaster Is Coming: Sequence Detective

Minglun Street, street entrance.

After Xu Nian watched Zuo Qiuyue drive away, he looked at the busy street alone, feeling inexplicably like he was in another world.

In fact, not long had passed since he accepted Zhao Qiang's commission, but what happened to him was nothing short of magical.

Zuo Qiuyue opened the door to a new world for him, and also brought an unimaginable impact to his mind.

Is it the theory of equality that respects the pricelessness of life, or the theory of realism that measures life by value? In short, he feels that his heart is very heavy now.

I thought that being a real man and supporting my own small family would be enough, but now it seems that in the era of disaster, being ordinary is such a luxury.

Perhaps as Zuo Qiuyue said, this may be life.

Life is unpredictable, and his life trajectory has changed since he became a pioneer with a serial number.

The so-called era without Xu Nian, there is only Xu Nian in the era, nothing more than that.

Xu Nian looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky, with a relieved expression on his face, and walked towards his shop.

On the way, he met Sister Wang who was sitting in front of her noodle shop peeling garlic. Sister Wang smiled and said hello: "Xu Nian, I haven't seen you for a while. Where have you been to be cool?"

Xu Nian chuckled and said in surprise as he walked: "I haven't seen you for so many days, why have you lost weight again, Sister Wang? I think Brother Liu must be lazy again these days."

Sister Wang said happily: "Really? Do you think I have lost weight?"

Xu Nian looked at the other party's chubby, slightly worked-up face, nodded seriously and said, "Really, I'm at least a little thinner than last time."

But I added in my heart: "It's a pity that I didn't lose weight."

"Haha, you're the only one with a sweet mouth. You're not like Liu Bucheng, who calls me fat every day and makes me mad."

Sister Wang's name is Wang Yu. She was still young when the disaster struck, so she suffered a lot, but she was lucky enough to meet her elder brother Liu Bucheng who retired from the army due to injury, so she was able to settle down within the city wall.

Because her mother opened a rice noodle shop in the south when she was a child, so she is now back to her old business.

As for her husband, Brother Liu Bucheng, maybe he was injured and retired too early, so he has always been a little depressed. He can't wait to return to that battlefield and fight with those terrifying monsters for hundreds more rounds.

Xu Nian smiled slightly, and a little boy eating candied haws ran over and said happily: "Brother Nian, you are back. I still want to play that ring on your computer."

"It's the old headband."

"Yes, that's it."

"Zhou Qi, why are you pestering your brother Nian again?"

At this time, a young woman in an apron who looked to be no more than thirty years old ran over. She tapped her son's head reproachfully and said to Xu Nian with some embarrassment: "Xu Nian, I'm sorry that Zhou Qi bothered me again." I'm sorry for you, go and get busy and ignore him."

After saying that, she patted Zhou Qi on the shoulder reproachfully and scolded: "Go back and do your homework, your brother Nian still has to work."

Zhou Qi looked reluctant, but he stuck out his tongue obediently and ran away quickly.

The young woman looked at the smiling Xu Nian, a blush appeared on her face, and whispered: "Xu Nian, you haven't been back for a long time. The neighbors miss you very much. I made braised pork for lunch, let's eat together. ?”

A trace of warmth appeared in Xu Nian's heart, and she smiled and said: "Shuwan, there's no need to go to so much trouble. Besides, I have something to do when I come back this time. I'm afraid I have to go out later."

The young woman's name is Fang Shuwan, a pretty girl who is only three years older than Xu Nian, oh no, she is a woman.

Because her husband Zhou Yun died in an accident, it was not easy for her to take care of an orphan and widowed mother alone. So when he learned that she and Zhou Yun's eldest brother were in a lawsuit over family property, he chose to help.

After doing this for a second time, the two of them became familiar.

"That's it!"

A trace of disappointment flashed in Fang Shuwan's eyes, but she still smiled and said: "Then remember to take care of your body. If you need anything, just come to me."

"good."

Xu Nian nodded, said goodbye to Fang Shuwan, and returned to his detective agency.

Many neighbors on the road greeted him when they saw him coming back, and he responded one by one. Although it was tedious, it was very warm.

It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. As a fatherless and motherless person, apart from his wife and son, the only people he gets along with the most are these neighbors.

On weekdays, the neighbors also take good care of him. Of course, when the neighbors are in trouble, he, the "all-powerful" detective in the eyes of the neighbors, naturally has to contribute.

He opened the abnormal detective agency with the money left to him by his father-in-law. Originally he didn't want to use it, but thinking that it was the "enemy's" money, plus the need to survive and find the bodies of his wife and son, he decided As a last resort, I could only use the money temporarily.

Of course, in return, he stored the other party's ashes in the martyr's cemetery according to the suicide note prepared by his father-in-law in advance.

This is the principle of his life. Even if the other person is the person he hates the most, if he accepts the other person's favor, he will definitely return the favor.

Fortunately, after buying the store, my father-in-law still had a lot of money left. Otherwise, with his meager income, he would never be able to pay the first year's rent of 20,000 yuan.

Looking at the plaque above his head with complicated eyes again, he took out the key from his pocket and opened the door, and a puff of dust came to his face.

He covered his face with his hands and waved a few times. After opening the door for a while to ventilate, he began the tedious cleaning work.

It took nearly an hour.

During this period, Fang Shuwan still brought a piece of braised pork and rice, and after seeing Xu Nian cleaning the house, she started to help without saying a word. Xu Nian tried to dissuade her again and again, but the other party just kept her head down while working and refused to leave. .

The other party even wiped all the tables, chairs and windows in the store with a rag.

Clean and translucent.

Xu Nian was naturally very grateful and wanted to find a time to treat the other party to a meal to express his gratitude, but the other party left immediately after finishing the work and just asked him to eat something quickly and have a good rest.

Xu Nian was naturally helpless about this. He looked at the fragrant braised pork on the table, but his stomach screamed in protest.

He could only give in, wash his hands and start eating.

Not to mention, the braised pork cooked by Fang Shuwan was particularly fragrant. The lean and fat meat was soaked in soup and melted in the mouth. It was much more delicious than any meat he had eaten before.

He had never eaten such delicious braised pork. He could no longer resist the call of his taste buds and swallowed it in big mouthfuls.

At this moment, a pretty middle-aged woman wearing a cheongsam walked in with a small bag on her arm.

Xu Nian subconsciously looked up and said in surprise: "Hello, what can I do for you?"
