It started to rain in the morning, and towards noon, the rain became slightly lighter, but it did not stop.
At the entrance of Wanjiahu Middle School in JN District, Jinling City, half of the street has entered traffic control, and traffic police are patrolling at intersections on both sides. Ambulances and fire trucks are also parked at the school gate. Two police cars are also parked across the road.
On both sides of the school gate, among the dark crowds, were faces full of expectations and tension and anxiety.
Some people were still holding umbrellas, some were wearing raincoats, and some simply took off their raincoats and carried them in their hands because they were anxious and saw the rain was getting lighter.
What's rare is that with so many people gathered on both sides of the school gate, miraculously, no one made any noise.
Occasionally, someone in the crowd talks in a low voice, and if the voice is slightly louder, someone next to them will immediately remind them.
The person who was reminded also admitted his mistake, nodded cautiously, and lowered his voice.
A huge signboard hangs on the wall at the school entrance.
"In this important place for the college entrance examination, making noise is strictly prohibited!"
There are slogans similar to encouraging slogans hanging in the buildings above the school gate.
·
When the bell rang, the crowd waiting outside the door quickly erupted into an uproar, which quickly evolved from whispers to intense commotion.
Soon, the isolation tape was removed, and the school gate was opened. It was full, and scattered candidates began to appear inside...and then more and more.
Parents are already crowded at the school gate, densely packed and looking forward to it. The crowd is carefully and anxiously looking for their children.
Thousands of words turned into one question in the end: "How was your exam?"
Some children are proud and contented with their ambitions. Some children are upset, anxious and fearful.
As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad.

When the ** student squeezed out of the examination room, he was at the end and was dragging his feet. Soon he was found by Zhang's father and pulled to the side.
A thermos cup wrapped in a plastic bag was unscrewed and stuffed into his hand. Zhang's father's face was full of hope and a bit of a pleaser. This rich man was wearing work clothes and his cuffs were still stained. He always cleaned them.
The man with the indelible traces of engine oil was actually very clumsy. He swallowed hard for a few times, but he could only say "drink some water quickly".
**'s father, Zhang Tiejun, is forty-three years old this year. His name is very characteristic of people of his era.
**Sheng took the cup, he was actually a little confused, but he drank it in a big gulp.
The thermos cup actually leaked a little, and the water was no longer hot, leaving only a trace of residual warmth.
"The test... was okay, not bad." The student whispered to his father.
Zhang Tiejun seemed to take a long breath, as if a huge burden in his heart was relieved, and a smile appeared on his face: "Okay! That's good!"
Actually... I did really well on the exam.
There were two questions that I got right during the surprise review.
Although the results were not good, I should have performed a little above my level in the morning exam.
The student silently returned the water glass to his father.
Zhang Tiejun muttered and was still thinking about whether he could be admitted to the target school. The Zhang family did not have high requirements for Brother Haonan. The target was a mechanical and electrical engineering college. As soon as he heard the name, he knew it was not a good school.
.
But for Brother Haonan, being able to pass the exam is already Amitabha.
Can……
The student looked at his father's expectant face and struggled in his heart for a long time. Finally, he suppressed the words in his heart and did not say them out.
What he actually wants to say is...
"Dad, I don't miss you anymore."

South Pacific, British Lonehill Island.
Local time, it's about seven o'clock in the evening.
Under the cover of night, a fishing boat slowly docked on the pier. The dark-skinned boatman jumped ashore quickly, and then pulled the heavy cable and started working.
Boxes of fish were brought up.
Behind the cabin, at the foot of the deck, a young man wearing a hoodie slowly stood up, straightened the backpack behind him, tightened his clothes, and stretched hard.
The captain is a simple-looking guy, but he is actually very shrewd and cunning.
When the boy got off the boat, he handed over a small roll of banknotes tied with a rubber rope.
Green, M money.
The captain collected it and handed the boy a note.
"Go to old Pierre's tavern and tell me my name, and he will take care of you."
The young man curled his lips, made a face, and then quickly jumped off the boat.
Everything on the pier was full of fishy smell, and the sea breeze brought with it a light salty smell.
The sky was already like a mirror studded with bright gems, covering the top of the head.
The weather is excellent. Before disembarking, the captain said that the weather will be good in the next few days.
·
His feet stepped on the hard ground, and the feeling made Chen Nuo feel a little dazed in his heart for a moment.
Walk along the pier all the way up the hillside in front, and come to a hillside halfway up.
A rock is exposed on the side of the road.
Chen Nuo walked over, stepped on it lightly with his feet, then raised his eyes and looked around.
From this location, you can see the pier on the seaside down the hillside.
Not far away is a small shop with several sheds next to it...
After the young man stared for a moment, the corners of his mouth slowly blossomed into a smile.
"I...I'm back."
Um.
This is the place where Lord Yama finally fell in his "previous life".
It was on this rock at my feet that I smoked my last cigarette, exchanged insults with the President of Country M on the phone, and then reached the final deal.
It was in this position that I toasted with the CIA guy and drank champagne.
It was at this position that I breathed my last.
Chen Nuo stood next to the rock for ten full minutes.
Then, the young man laughed again.
Smiling so happily!
In this life, all this will never happen again!
no way!
·
After walking along the hillside road for a few minutes, we came to an intersection with two pickup trucks parked on the side of the road.
Chen Nuo walked over and talked with a driver for a while.
His English had a strong local accent, which made the driver very strange...he was obviously a new face.
After a few minutes, the two agreed on the price. Chen Nuo handed over a roll of U.S. dollars, then jumped into the cargo bay at the back of the pickup truck with his backpack and patted the roof of the car hard.
The pickup truck drove away along the road.
Along the mountain road, going uphill, downhill, turning, and passing through an open area.
The island is very big, and soon we entered a small town on a small basin.
The town was founded during the British colonial era.
In the center is a church with a steeple, and the cross on the top of the church can be seen from a distance.
In fact, there are not many indigenous residents on the island anymore... There were not many in the first place. During the colonial era, several groups of colonists killed them too ruthlessly.
Today, most of the residents on the island are white, many are descendants of the colonial era, and many come from South America.
The town only has a population of one or two thousand.
Chen Nuo got off the car at the entrance of the town, and then walked into the town relying on his memories from his previous life.
Nothing has changed.
On the left side of the church is a hardware tool store, and then a small shop that makes marine engine parts - the owners of these two shops are two brothers.
The west entrance of the town is the only tavern in the town. The owner is a man of Gallic descent named Pierre. He has a big aquiline nose in his memory.
Behind the tavern is a leather goods shop.
There are no hotels, but there are a few rooms in the tavern. You can rent them at a negotiated price.
However, when Chen Nuo walked into the tavern, he had no intention of staying. He just walked to the counter and first looked at Pierre who was standing behind the counter.
In 2001, this guy's head was not too bald, and there was still a thin layer of hair on the top of his head.
The wrinkles on the face are not that deep either.
Well, the hooked nose is still so big.
"A glass of tequila." Chen Nuo threw his backpack at his feet and sat casually on the high stool.
Pierre glanced at this strange young man, picked up the wine glass and pushed it over, then took out the wine bottle and filled it up. He picked up the salt shaker on the table and spread a layer of fine salt grains on the edge of the wine glass, and then
He quickly cut a piece of lemon and stuck it on the wine glass.
Chen Nuo picked it up, licked the salt grains on the edge of the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, then took a long breath and took a sip of lemon.
"Phew! Feel good! Have another drink!" Chen Nuo smiled.
Pierre smiled.
·
After three cups.
"Coming from out of town?" Pierre chatted casually.
"Yeah. Travel."
"Tourism? What are you doing here? There is nothing interesting on this island."
"Really?"
"Of course! This is not Hawaii. There are no hula dancers and no sexy girls." Pierre shrugged.
The business in the store is average - in fact, it has never been too good, always tepid.
In the corner is an old-fashioned jukebox, but it's a new thing on this island.
Chen Nuo and Old Pierre exchanged coins, walked to the jukebox, inserted the coins, and casually ordered an old Elvis Presley song.
Amid the sonorous and powerful rhythm, the young man looked at the ceiling fan above his head, and then at the heavy wooden tables and chairs in the tavern.
He looked at the familiar Pierre behind the counter.
It really feels like returning to the past.
In fact, when the young man came to the tavern, he had nothing to do here.
only……
perhaps……
Just for the little bit of [nostalgia] hidden in my heart that cannot be described to outsiders.
Down the fifth glass of tequila.
Pierre started to do business: "Do you need a room to stay? There is one upstairs. You can choose one by yourself. The sheets are clean and there is hot bath water. A free breakfast is also provided."
Chen Nuo smiled.
The young man smiled happily.
This profiteer... is still the same as in his last life.
The rooms are cramped and damp, and the sheets look clean, but they may not be washed once a month.
As for hot bath water, hot is hot, but it is often not enough after half a bath.
As for the free breakfast…
Just boiled potatoes and some fish sauce.
"No need." Chen Nuo smiled, then pointed to a place on the wine cabinet on the counter: "Bring that to me."
That's a bottle of whiskey.
To be precise, it is the best bottle in Pierre's tavern.
In fact, it may not be very expensive...but after all, this is just a small town on an island, so it seems rare.
Chen Nuo threw down a small roll of US dollars, took the bottle with him, put it into his backpack, then waved to Pierre and walked away.
"There's no other place to live in the town at night, kid! If you want to leave the town and stay at the dock, you won't have a car until dawn."
Chen Nuo pretended not to hear anything and walked out of the tavern with a smile.
Taking a deep breath of air, the trace of drunkenness in the young man's eyes quickly disappeared.
Touched my pocket...
Well, the money has been spent.
Now, Chen Nuo can't even take out one M dollar note from his pocket.
The money he just spent on buying wine was his last possession.
·
Let's put it this way.
More than half a month ago, before leaving Jinling City, Star Queen Lu Xixin came to goalkeeper Chen Nuo and beat her up.
In addition to behaving violently against Lord Yama, the Queen also did one more thing.
She transferred all the account balances in the [Heart Arsonist] account on the Octopus Monster website!
Chen Nuo returned home the next day and when he checked his account, he found that the Queen only left him one hundred dollars!
That is Chen Yanluo’s entire property!!
He robbed so many people, protected Jiang Yingzi, killed so many killers, and robbed money several times...
Millions of dollars...
Return to before liberation overnight!
Chen Nuo couldn't hold back and sent a private message to the Queen of the Starry Sky on Octopus Monster's website, condemning this bad behavior of beating and robbing people.
But the Star Queen replied.
"Husband, aren't you allowed to give it to the family?"
Uh...home use?
Okay, there's nothing wrong with that.
·
If the few gold bars hidden in the bedroom were not still there and not taken away by the Queen, I am afraid that Chen Nuo would have been so poor that he could not even afford the air tickets and travel expenses for this trip abroad.
but……
It doesn't matter.
·
Chen Nuo walked out of the west end of the town.
After leaving the town and walking into the wilderness, the boy's pace began to quicken...
A moment later, his figure was fully unfolded, flying through the air like the wind!
·
The west coast of the island, about two miles from the town.
On a hillside, walls and iron fences were built as the only access roads.
There is a "Private Property" sign on it.
There is a signboard next to it.
【Greystone Mountain Manor】.
Chen Nuo stood outside the iron gate and stared at the sign of this private property for a long time.
Then I looked at the camera on the wall next to me.
When he came to a place where the bell was ringing, Chen Nuo pressed it gently a few times.
Soon the angle of the camera on the wall moved a few times, and then it was accurately pointed at Chen Nuo.
[Benefits for Book Friends] You can get cash or coins by reading books, and iPhone12 and Switch are waiting for you! Follow the vx official account [Book Friends Base Camp] to get it!
Chen Nuo breathed out, waved and smiled at the camera.
"Hello~~Tell Mr. Captain that a debt collector is coming!"
·
[Grey Rock Mountain Manor], in fact, there is another real identity here that is unknown to the public.
The... headquarters of the Abyss Organization!
·
A minute later, from a building on the hillside, several heavily armed people rushed out quickly!
Chen Nuo watched quietly, then walked to the door with a smile, stretched out his hand and patted it.
With a bang, the iron door burst apart and collapsed!
