Just leave as soon as you say it, it's a big deal to spend time with your daughter.

Of course, this was just a joke. Liao Zhong still made a clear distinction between public and private affairs. The biggest purpose of their operation had been completed, and all that was left was to clear up the work.

Liao Zhong was completely relieved to leave it to his deputy, and by the way, Hu Bayi, who was watching the excitement and acting very leisurely, arrested the strong man, and told his deputy not to force it, and the more work he could arrange for Hu Bayi, the better.

They also call it a good opportunity to train newcomers and give them a chance to learn. Otherwise, how can they graduate from anywhere smoothly?

Hu Bayi suffered an unexpected disaster:???

I've been in school for less than a year, and you want me to graduate?

After staring at Hu Xiuwu for another long time, Liao Zhongcai snorted, turned around and walked away, barely sticking to his bottom line and not using child laborers under the age of eighteen.

After Liao Zhong took care of all his official duties, he found a car and took Chen Duo, who had been waiting for him for a while, directly to the nearest market here.

It is said to be a market, but it is actually a small town at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. It was originally a very poor town, and only nearby herdsmen would come to exchange supplies.

But with the economic recovery, everyone has more spare money, and with the completion of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, more and more people are traveling to Xueyuan, a place that has been mysterious since ancient times. This small town is backed by many legends

The Kunlun Mountains have benefited from the rise of tourism and become lively.

Originally, there were only a few small shops in this town, where you could buy some hardware tools, saddles, and small farm appliances.

But as more and more tourists come to appreciate Kunlun Mountain, and more and more mountaineering enthusiasts come to challenge Kunlun Mountain, there are more shops specializing in buying specialties.

There are beef jerky, milk jerky, and special Tibetan clothing. Clothing stores are everywhere, and there are even various mountaineering supplies stores. There are also people who act as guides to lead tourists around the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

Liao Zhong parked the car and took Chen Duo with him to start visiting the market from the beginning.

When the two of them arrived, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. The busiest peak period of the market had passed. Many people were already packing their things and getting ready to go home. The snowfield was so big that it could easily cover an area of ​​a county.

It is as big as prefecture-level cities in other provinces, so traveling back and forth is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

And traveling at night in the snowfield is still a very dangerous thing. If there is an accident, it is very difficult to get rescue in the deserted and empty surroundings.

So now at the market in the town, there are only some tourists staying in hotels in the town and some hikers, who can still wander around the market and pick out some special products and equipment.

Standing at the entrance of the market where the hustle and bustle had cooled down slightly, Liao Zhong waved towards the market, like an old father doting on his daughter:

"Whatever you like, buy whatever you want, I'll pay for it today!"

What he said was very heroic, but he could not help but harbor some thoughts of fighting against Hu Xiuwu. Who asked Hu Xiuwu to give Chen Duo a jade pendant with a different meaning?

The two of them walked dryly on the streets of the market, without anyone speaking first. They were shopping for the sake of shopping, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Chen Duo was not good at talking, and Liao Zhong didn't know what to say to Chen Duo.

Liao Zhong is like a father who is busy at work. Suddenly he has time to rest, but he is shocked to find that his daughter has become taller and slimmer at some point. She is no longer the little girl who pesters him. He wants to get close to her, but he doesn't know her.

What do you like now?

Just when Liao Zhong was struggling with how to stir up a topic that Chen Duo was interested in, Chen Duo, who was originally following him, suddenly stopped, his nose twitched, and he turned a corner following the smell in the air.

, and went into a store to buy dairy products and beef jerky.

The freshly roasted meat in the shop is still soft and glutinous, and the shop is filled with the alluring aroma of meat. There is also an oven that is as tall as a person and is working.

When the store clerk saw Chen Duo coming in, he greeted her warmly, but when Liao Zhong followed Chen Duo in,

Looking at Liao Zhong, who was tall and had scars on his face, the clerk in the store was frightened. He was so frightened that he called the owner of the store in Tibetan.

A tall, thick-looking Tibetan man wearing a white apron and holding a meat cleaver in his hand opened the kitchen door curtain and rushed out of the kitchen in a hurry.

The scene was very chaotic for a while. Fortunately, the store owner and the clerk could both speak Chinese. After some explanations, the store owner finally understood that there was a misunderstanding. It was all caused by Liao Zhong's fierce face, which would cause his ID card to be checked even if he went to the train station.

.

The boss silently put down the knife, pulled the clerk and awkwardly apologized to Liao Zhong. To express his apology, he would give him a 10% discount on everything in the store today.

Liao Zhong said generously that it wouldn't bother him: "Don't worry about small things, I'm used to them."

The clerk hiding behind the boss nodded subconsciously and agreed with Liao Zhong's point of view.

Smelling the rich aroma of meat in the shop, Liao Zhong tasted a small piece of the sample handed over by the shop owner and asked casually: "Duo'er, when did you fall in love with this kind of thing?"

You must know that since Chen Duo had her own ideas, she has never shown a strong appetite for food. She eats whatever is given to her, imitates Liao Zhong's movements and postures, and even wants to imitate him in smoking.

Thinking of Chen Duo's cute way of using chopsticks after imitating his movements, Liao Zhong couldn't help but show a warm smile, but Chen Duo's next words directly put his good mood down.

Gu Ping

Chen Duo said: "I'm not interested in these things, but Xiuwu likes these snacks. When we were in Qiuci, he kept talking to me about the mutton in Sijiucheng."

"I don't know what flavor he likes. I'll ask him using Pisces later."

Liao Zhong covered his chest, feeling a little pain in his heart, and slapped himself hard from the bottom of his heart.

I told you to talk too much, what questions did you ask?

Although the shop owner didn't know who 'Xiu Wu' was, looking at Liao Zhong's stinky face, he could tell that there was a leak in Liao Zhong's little cotton-padded jacket. He patted Liao Zhong on the shoulder sympathetically and laughed in Chinese with a slight accent.

road:

"Haha, my daughter has a sweetheart. I know how she feels. I can't wait to whip that boy with a riding crop."

Liao Zhong did not correct his boss, but just sighed: "My daughter is too old to be managed."

On the other side, Chen Duo was communicating with Hu Xiuwu while choosing the flavor of beef jerky.

And since we didn’t know each other before, Liao Zhong was chatting with the shop owner.

The boss imparted his experience to Liao Zhong and boasted to Liao Zhong about how he used his superb archery skills to scare away the young people who harassed his daughter. He even pushed down a calf in front of his prospective son-in-law so that he could let him go.

He knows the consequences of bullying his daughter.

The boss became more and more enthusiastic as he chatted, completely unaware of Liao Zhong's increasingly stiff face.

Brother, your method is very good, but there is a small problem. I can't beat Hu Xiuwu.

Liao Zhong thought helplessly in his heart.

He could already predict that when he threatened Hu Xiuwu, Hu Xiuwu would use a harmless expression and split the ground with his backhand to threaten him.

Liao Zhong felt helpless. He lowered his head and saw Chen Duo who had come to him at some point. He interrupted the boss and asked Chen Duo: "Duo'er, have you finished buying everything?"

Chen Duo nodded slightly and raised the two full cowhide bags in his hands.

"Then let's go, brother, and we'll talk again when we have the chance."

After leaving the store, Chen Duo took the initiative to hand his hand to Liao Zhong, and Liao Zhong said in confusion:

"What are you doing."

Chen Duo raised his hands, raised his head and said to Liao Zhong: "I see that fathers and daughters on the street go shopping like this."

Liao Zhong looked stunned: "What did you call me?"

Chen Duo continued: "You brought me to this world, just like a father, right? I know that Uncle Liao has paid a lot for me, and I have always known that."

"In the last mission, the isolation suit was damaged and I suppressed the poison. It was not because I was worried that others would be harmed. I was just worried that you, Uncle Liao, would be harmed."

"I am not a stone. I also have feelings. I know who is good to me, so Uncle Liao and Xiu Wu are both important to me."

"What I want is not to go shopping with you, Uncle Liao, but for you to recognize my choice."

What he said made Liao Zhong feel confused, and he was shocked to find that no matter how powerful and special Chen Duo was, she was still a delicate little girl after all.

She is not the ignorant Gu body saint child of the Yaoxian Society, she is the little girl, Chen Duo, who Liao Zhong witnessed with his own eyes, uttered the first cry in her life, and was brought to the world by him.

Liao Zhong touched his face with his left hand, not wanting to let Chen Duo see his sentimental side, and then took Chen Duo's hand, as if he was holding his precious pearl:

"I always felt that it was my fault that I brought you into this bad world, but failed to let people live like normal people, so I always wanted to protect you."

"But you ignored your own feelings. Don't worry, Duo'er, I will respect your choice in the future."

The two were holding hands, just like a real father and daughter. The daughter complained to her father that he didn't understand her, and the crappy father explained to his daughter how much he loved her.

The two were enjoying a rare moment of tenderness on the streets of the snowy field,

"By the way, Duo'er, that jade pendant around your neck is a bit ugly. I'll buy you a new one, one that looks better."

"····,No."
