"Hello!" A thin young man stood at the door of the bookstore. He knocked on the door: "Your takeaway is ready!"
Lingpingan immediately stood up and took a takeaway lunch box from the other party.
The smell of squid inside is astounding to your nostrils.
He opened the takeout box and saw squid tentacles as thick as his fingers, grilled to a golden crisp, with fragrant chili powder sprinkled on the skin, and almost every part of the squid was covered in oil.
He couldn't wait to take a bite immediately: "It's delicious! It's delicious!"
"Your praise is my honor!" The young man at the door was very satisfied. He bowed slightly: "You are welcome to order takeout from the store next time!"
"A must!" Lingpingan said happily.
For him, there are few things in the world that he can devote himself to other than gaming and writing novels.
This delicious food is probably one of them.
"By the way..." the young man suddenly reminded: "Guest, in addition to squid tentacles, the shop also regularly provides some deep-sea delicacies. This time, the shop will give you a special gift of deep-sea fish liver..."
Lingpingan listened, opened the takeout box, and sure enough found a very tender grilled fish liver wrapped in tin foil.
This cod liver is about the size of a fist, and the surface is grilled to an extremely crispy texture. The fat leaches out from the meat, exuding a fragrant fragrance like juice.
"What kind of fish is this?" Lingpingan asked.
"This is the liver of a deep-sea fish caught from the deepest part of the Luzon Trench..." the young man said with a smile, "Absolutely natural and pollution-free!"
Lingpingan took a bite and felt that his taste buds were occupied by the ultimate umami flavor, and he wanted to eat it all in one bite.
"That's great!" he said, "I will order your midnight snack again next time!"
"My pleasure!" The young man bowed again, then turned and left.
Lingpingan held the takeaway and sat at the counter, preparing to eat.
Meow!
Kitten Best jumped in front of him.
"You want to eat too?" Lingpingan asked.
Meow!
He immediately laughed and gave it a few squid tentacles and a small half of the cod liver.
"Children can't eat too much fat!" He found a reasonable excuse for occupying most of the cod liver: "Otherwise, you will gain weight!"
After finishing his midnight snack, Lingpingan burped and then looked at the time. It was already midnight.
"Watch the news and go to bed!" he said, turning on the TV.
Soon a news broadcast appeared on the TV screen.
"Let's pay attention to global climate warming together!" the host said seriously, and at the same time, the screen cut out a picture of Antarctica, which is frozen all year round.
Glaciers unfold one after another.
However, between glaciers and glaciers, lakes appeared.
"Global warming is continuing to intensify..."
"The rate of melting of Antarctic glaciers is accelerating every year..."
"Since the year 2820 of the Republic Era, the rate of ice loss in Antarctica has tripled!"
"Climate scholars and environmental scholars are all worried about the impact of sudden changes in climate on the global environment!"
Lingpingan looked at it, nodded, and said: "Well... the recent weather is indeed very problematic..."
"Dense fog often appears in the middle of the night..."
The young bookstore owner looked worriedly at the melting glaciers on the TV screen.
Worried about the many affected island nations.
It is not unheard of for glaciers to melt and sea levels to rise, submerging an island country.
When Lingpingan was a child, he saw a small country being swallowed by the sea.
Pictures of countless helpless and sad people being forced to board amphibious battleships of the Federation Imperial Navy to evacuate their ancestral homeland.
It was a powerful moment.
Today, the melting rate of glaciers is accelerating.
So, does this mean that people in island countries are likely to lose their homes again
Thinking of this, Lingpingan worried about the island for a second.
However, Lingpingan knew that it was useless for him to worry about this kind of thing.
He is just an ordinary person, and the only thing he can do is probably donate to the Federal Empire Nature Foundation.
But he only donated five hundred yuan in the first half of the year.
so…
"I will donate again next year!" he said.
This is also the limit that an ordinary person can do.
When he was very young, Lingpingan understood the principle of doing everything according to his ability.
…
Zhang Hui looked at the card in his hand.
The card was written in regular script with a story, an ancient story, from Zhuangzi's "Ying Diwang".
The emperor of the south is You, the emperor of the north is Hu, and the emperor of the center is Chaos. You and Hushi met in the land of Chaos, and Chaos treated them very kindly...
This is a story that all children in the Federation Empire know.
It tells the story of two ancient gods who, in order to repay the kindness of another god, came up with the idea of letting the god without eyes, nose, ears, and mouth dig out seven orifices, and finally died of chaos after having seven orifices.
This story has been taught by primary school teachers. It tells people to let nature take its course and not to force it.
but…
"Ancestor of the Ling family, why do you want to keep this story here?!"
"Is there an objective connection between it and the owner of the bookstore?!"
Zhang Hui didn't know, but he vaguely knew that there might be some kind of connection.
He took the card and turned it over. On the back of the card, there was a line of words.
"Everyone fears death! Even the gods!"
Zhang Hui's brows furrowed tightly.
…
Chu opened his eyes slightly and found that he was sleeping in bed with his clothes on.
Now, it's daybreak.
The sunlight outside the window fell straight from the windowsill.
She put on her slippers, walked to the window, and looked at the bustling streets of Xin'an Mansion under the high sun.
Her phone beeped, she picked it up and saw the text message on it: Weiwei, come down quickly, let’s go to the shops in Xin’an Mansion and buy some souvenirs!
She put down her phone, and a smile finally appeared on her face.
"Although I'm useless!" she said, "but at least I protected people like the captain..."
Her captain is a heartless and born optimist.
Anyway, after knowing her for so long, Chu Weiwei has never seen her afraid of anything.
Moreover, there has always been a legend among the Black Guards that her captain is a born lucky star, and no matter what problems he encounters, he can turn them into good fortune.
Therefore, when something happened in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the superiors specially sent this black-clad guard who had just been promoted to captain to lead the team here.
Sure enough, the epidemic in the Northern Zhou Dynasty was resolved within a few days.
This further deepened the opinion above, and some people even started calling her Koi.
Even Chu Weiwei's parents specially told her to have a good relationship with the captain, preferably as best friends or something.
After all, no one can refuse someone with good luck on their side.
Today, with the revival of spiritual energy, the attribute of luck is even more precious.
Only Chu Weiwei knows: all this is not because of the captain's luck, but because of the silent efforts of the senior masters.
