Chapter 137 Disappointing Local Delicacies
"I suppose so, but, sir, how did you know we don't seem to have a Beijing accent?"
The old man pointed to the front of the RV: "Look, that's your license plate. I just checked, it's Beijing A. But speaking of which, you've gone pretty far!"
Baili Pangpang muttered to himself, "~~~! You're such a fool!"
After saying that, Baili Pangpang looked at Wang Teng and Lin Qiye with admiration.
"You guys really know how to have fun!"
Wang Teng gave Baili Pangpang a disapproving look, then took out two glasses of milk and handed them to the old man and the little girl.
"Grandpa, what are you doing in Anta County?"
“The child hadn’t seen her father for a long time, so I took her to stay with him for a few days.”
Wang Teng realized that this little girl was probably Li Deyang's daughter, Li Tingting!
"What a coincidence! We heard there's a forest north of Anta County that hasn't been developed yet. Let's go for a stroll in the primeval forest for a few days!"
Looking at the luxurious interior decorations and the obviously expensive drinks, the old man assumed that Wang Teng and his friends were rich young men looking for thrills. He immediately advised, "Young man, don't go into any primeval forest in the dead of winter. It's cold, and after the snow, there are bears. If you recklessly rush in, you could easily lose your life!"
"Thank you, sir, we understand. When we get to Anta County, we'll find a local guide and ask for their advice. After all, we're already here."
Shen Qingzhu took a piece of chocolate out of her pocket and handed it to the little girl: "Here, have some chocolate. We'll be at our destination soon."
"Thank you, Uncle!"
Shen Qingzhu smiled and looked at Li Tingting with a doting expression.
Looking at this arrogant guy, Wang Teng felt a sense of comfort.
Zhai Ge is that kind of arrogant guy, aloof but kind to everyone else, otherwise why would so many people be willing to follow him?
However, ever since the incident involving his first love, the arrogant guy has not recovered.
Seeing that Zhai Ge was smiling now, Wang Teng felt a little better.
The arrogant guy is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Looking at him now, he's actually quite good with kids. I never expected that the usually haughty guy would be so good at taking care of children.
Two hours later, Lin Qiye drove Li Tingting and her grandson to the Forestry Bureau, and then prepared to leave.
"Young men, thank you so much! Come in, have a seat, and have some hot tea before you leave!"
Wang Teng shook his head: "No, sir, we still need to find a guide first, so we won't disturb your family reunion. Qi Ye, drive!"
The house slowly drove away, and the old man said to Li Tingting, "These young men are really nice!"
Inside the RV,
Lin Qiye glanced at the rearview mirror, somewhat puzzled, and said, "Old Wang, you forgot what the file said about the Forestry Bureau..."
"I know the old man came looking for someone. Let's let them reunite tonight and call him again tomorrow morning. What are you thinking, Brother Zhai?"
“Oh (⊙o⊙)…, if Xiaoyun had accepted my advances back then, our child would probably be this big by now.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Qingzhu realized she had spoken out of turn and slapped her head in regret.
Wang Teng looked at Shen Qingzhu with a horrified expression, then tentatively asked, "Brother Zhai, if I remember correctly, you were a minor when you first wrote a love letter, right?"
Love knows no age!
“But the law is different, bro. If you dared to do that, believe me, you'd be living in a fasting camp by now. But, bro…”
Wang Teng wanted to offer some advice, but he didn't know how.
After all, one should not advise others to be kind if one has not experienced their suffering; only oneself can truly empathize.
Shen Qingzhu laughed heartily: "Alright, I've long since come to terms with this. Look at me now, I'm full of energy!"
Seeing the bitterness in Shen Qingzhu's eyes, Wang Teng said nothing more and said, "Alright, let's have a good meal of stir-fried potatoes, eggplant, and green peppers here today, and then set off on our mission tomorrow."
at the dinner table,
The Sky-Covering Squad stared silently at the Three Delicacies of the Earth on the table.
Wang Teng pointed at the boss: "No, boss, your 'Three Treasures of the Earth' dish has such a big name, but it's just eggplant, green beans, and potatoes. I thought it was some kind of specialty dish!"
"The original 'Three Treasures of the Earth' used tiger, deer, and bear as ingredients, and the dish truly lived up to its name. But now..."
The boss twitched his lips and said, "The country has enacted relevant laws, so eating here would be illegal. We can only use the best ingredients available in this corner, so just make do with what you have. If it's really too much, we'll make a big stew of goose in an iron pot and add some flatbread. That should definitely make you feel good."
the next day,
A middle-aged man with a stubble beard arrived at the hotel where Wang Teng was staying and began to introduce himself: "Night Watchman, Li Deyang, reporting for duty. We've been waiting for you!"
Wang Teng looked at Li Deyang with a smile: "Captain Li, the old man and your daughter came to see you yesterday. Aren't you happy?"
"So happy! Hmm~?"
"We ran into them on the road yesterday and brought them over. We figured your family was reunited yesterday, so we didn't call you. Could you please tell me the details of this mission?"
"Some people reported seeing giant ants, about one or two meters long, in the primeval forest. My team and I went to investigate and found them deep in the jungle, but there were too many of them, and they were quite powerful. My team and I couldn't do anything about it, so we reported it to the Night Watch headquarters."
Wang Teng nodded: "Alright, veteran, you're conscripted. Come with us to the north of the primeval forest to eliminate this mysterious ant species, okay?"
Li Deyang nodded: "Okay, but I need 10 minutes to contact my family and me."
"can!"
Ten minutes later, Li Deyang nodded to Wang Teng and the others: "Alright, that's enough, let's go now!"
Everyone looked at Lin Qiye, who tossed a luxury RV out in front of Li Deyang.
Li Deyang: "..."
Rubbing his eyes in disbelief, Li Deyang looked at Wang Teng and the others: "Did you see that? In a flash, the car appeared."
Wang Teng patted Li Deyang on the shoulder: "Alright, it's just an ordinary spatial forbidden zone, no need to make a fuss. Let's talk as we go."
Sitting in the RV, Li Deyang touched the seat: "Your special team has such good benefits!"
Wang Teng pointed to the chubby boy next to him: "No, no, no, these things were donated by kind people! Come, Captain Li, let me introduce you to this gentleman. This is the young master of the Baili family, known as the 'Forbidden Ruins Museum.' He is one of our team members, which is why our lives are a little happier."
