"So what are you going to do if you don't sleep? When all the shops on this street are closed in a little while, are we going to sit together and just chat?"
"It's OK to chat, play cards, or watch TV together... As long as we don't sleep, that's OK."
Ruan Qiuping was not sleepy at all, but when he heard this, he suddenly felt his eyelids droop.
Is this the body's rebellious psychology
"Oh, right, let's go see the sea!" Xiao Yuhuan's eyes sparkled. "It takes seven hours to get to the beach from here. When we get there, we'll be able to see the sunrise in time."
Ruan Qiuping became more energetic: "That's fine, we can take a nap in the car."
"We can't sleep. We have to make up those eight hours and 50 minutes." Xiao Yuhuan said seriously.
"Okay." Ruan Qiuping sighed deeply.
Then, Xiao Yuhuan took the coins and went to the public telephone booth nearby to make a call.
"I called a taxi." Xiao Yuhuan explained after coming back.
Ruan Qiuping narrowed his eyes and found a clue: "Where's your cell phone? When you came out, you said you brought your cell phone with you to report your safety to your family. Why are you using a pay phone to make a call now?"
He was a little puzzled as to why Xiao Yuhuan's family didn't even call him after he had been away for so long.
Seeing that he could no longer hide the truth, Xiao Yuhuan had to tell the truth: "Before I came out, I threw my phone into the bushes... The phone has a location sensor. With the phone, we will be found quickly and won't be able to go anywhere."
"But... but I left a message on my phone, saying that I came out to play by myself and would be back after playing, and asked them not to look for me..." Xiao Yuhuan's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end it was almost inaudible.
He grabbed Ruan Qiuping's hand, looked up at him, and said carefully: "Ruan Ruan, are you angry with me... I'm sorry... I just want to go out with you and don't want to be caught..."
Ruan Qiuping sighed. He couldn't do anything about Xiao Yuhuan. "... Don't do this again next time."
Little Yuhuan's eyes curved up with joy: "I know, Ruan Ruan!"
It seemed that it would take some time for the taxi to come. At this moment, the roulette game that was about to close nearby caught Ruan Qiuping's attention.
"Want to play, bro? It's ten dollars a time. If you're lucky enough to win the first prize, you can choose from all the things we have here."
"Do you want to play?" Xiao Yuhuan asked as he took out money from his wallet.
Ruan Qiuping waved his hands: "How dare I play this kind of game?"
Ruan Qiuping turned to look at Yu Huan and said with interest: "Come and play. Let me see what it's like for someone who is lucky enough to resist my bad luck to play this game?"
Xiao Yuhuan took a look at the turntable, and then whispered to Ruan Qiuping: "This turntable is basically rigged. It's better to play the game on the other side than to play this one."
Ruan Qiuping looked across. It was a dice-shaking game with very simple and crude rules. Each person had one chance. If they got six, they would win the grand prize. If they shook the dice three times in a row and the total number exceeded fifteen, they could choose any prize they wanted.
Xiao Yuhuan played it three times and got three sixes.
Ruan Qiuping was stunned - is this the power of the lucky god
"Ruan Ruan, let you pick the prizes." Xiao Yuhuan said with a smile.
Ruan Qiuping looked at the stall for a long time and finally picked up a ring-shaped jade artifact with leaf texture.
He just happened to be lacking a jade accessory, so if there were any big events in heaven in the future, he could wear a robe and the accessory.
"Young man, you have good taste. This jade ring is made of top-quality Hetian jade!" The stall owner put the jade into a packaging bag and handed it to Ruan Qiuping.
It’s hard to say whether it is Hetian jade, but Ruan Qiuping likes this piece of jade very much.
Moreover, Yuhuan... Yuhuan...
Ruan Qiuping felt that the jade in his hand was becoming more and more precious. He wanted to hold it carefully, but was afraid that his bad luck would cause the jade to get bumped, so he handed it to Xiao Yuhuan and said, "Hold it for me first, and give it to me when I leave."
Little Yuhuan carefully put the jade away.
Just then, the car that Xiao Yuhuan called arrived.
What Xiao Yuhuan called was not an ordinary taxi, but a super luxurious, extended version of a customized private taxi.
Xiao Yuhuan pulled Ruan Qiuping into the car and showed him the TV, snacks, and game consoles in the car: "With these things, we won't feel bored even if we play here for seven hours!"
But Ruan Qiuping only saw the long chair next to it that could be used as a bed.
Next, the two of them began to try their best to stay up late.
At 10 o'clock, the two were still in good spirits, so they turned on a movie and started watching it.
At 12 o'clock, the movie ended and both of them looked a little tired.
At 1:10 in the morning, the two-player game they were playing had reached the 16th level. The big boss was hitting them. They yawned and slowly pressed the attack button. After a while, the game characters they controlled fell in a pool of blood, and the game failed.
At 1:45 in the morning, they were still playing the same level of the game over and over again, but this time they were not killed by a monster. Instead, little Yu Huan's eyelids drooped due to sleepiness, and the character he controlled fell into the water and drowned.
At 1:56 in the morning, the game controller slipped from Xiao Yuhuan's hand. Xiao Yuhuan's head fell on the soft backrest with a click and he fell into a deep sleep.
At 2 o'clock in the morning, Ruan Qiuping held little Yuhuan in his arms, yawned, and lay down on the long chair that could be used as a bed, and fell asleep.
At 5 a.m., Ruan Qiuping and Xiao Yuhuan were woken up by the driver.
Ruan Qiuping opened his eyes with difficulty: "The beach, are we there yet?"
"When did I... fall asleep?" Little Yuhuan seemed to feel some pain in his head.
"Call your father." The driver, wearing a mask on his head, handed the phone to Xiao Yuhuan and said fiercely, "Tell your father that if you can't bring 50 million by tomorrow, I will chop off your head and send it back to him."
Ruan Qiuping:
Ruan Qiuping looked around and suddenly found that the abandoned factory they were in seemed familiar. After taking another look, he realized that this place was exactly the same as the abandoned factory where he met Xiao Yuhuan when he first came to the earth.
Ruan Qiuping took another look at the kidnapper driver in front of him who was sloppily wearing a black plastic bag "hood".
When they got in the car, there was a partition inside the car, so they couldn't see the driver's appearance clearly. Now looking at him closely, he found that the eyes of the kidnapper driver that were exposed outside the black plastic bag looked very much like the butcher from the illegal slaughterhouse who chased them that day.
"Hurry up and tell me your father's phone number!" the kidnapper said impatiently.
Xiao Yuhuan said a string of numbers.
The kidnapper lost his patience after listening on the phone for a while and yelled, "Are you fucking lying to me?! Why can't I get through on this phone?!"
Xiao Yuhuan lowered his eyes and said, "He's a little busy. Just call a few more times and he'll get through."
The kidnapper paced back and forth and began to replay the call impatiently.
When the kidnapper walked away, Ruan Qiuping whispered to Xiao Yuhuan: "I think this kidnapper looks familiar. I think we have seen him before. Do you have any impression of him?"
"It was him, the boss and butcher of the illegal slaughterhouse." Yu Huan paused, then said, "I reported him by real name at the time. He threatened me before he went to jail. I didn't expect to meet him again when I took a taxi."
Ruan Qiuping could almost imagine the whole story.
After being reported, the boss of the illegal slaughterhouse was facing bankruptcy and imprisonment. He always hated the Yu family who reported him. After being released from prison, he changed his career to become a luxury car driver. Unexpectedly, he received an order from his enemy. He immediately became daring and found a black plastic bag, dug a few holes in it, put it on his head and started to be a kidnapper.
This whole thing from beginning to end is just a coincidence.
If they weren't extremely unlucky, how could they have encountered such a ridiculous thing? !
Why…
Ruan Qiuping let out a long sigh.
He was originally thinking that his money had not been stolen, his car had not broken down, his pirate ship had not capsized, and the Ferris wheel had not fallen from the sky... he had not encountered any bad luck, and was still happy in his heart. Unexpectedly, all of this was accumulated here.
The former butcher who turned into a kidnapper had been trying to get through on the phone for over half an hour but failed. Ruan Qiuping felt anxious for him.
Finally, the kidnapper had an idea and took a few photos of Xiao Yuhuan with his mobile phone and sent them to that number.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the kidnapper's phone rang.
The kidnapper agreed with the person on the phone on the time, place and money of the transaction, then he came over with the phone, kicked Xiao Yuhuan's leg, and said with a smile: "Come on, cry a few times for your dad to hear, your dad still thinks I lied to him!"
When Xiao Yuhuan waited for the phone to get close, he slammed the phone to the ground with his face and shouted, "It's at the illegal slaughterhouse that was reported! Changping District, Lulin Road, No. 305!"
The kidnapper hurriedly picked up the phone on the ground and hung up the call, then roared: "You damn bastard, you want to die! Even if I get caught, I will beat you to death!"
While cursing, he lifted up the wooden table next to him and smashed it down on Xiao Yuhuan's head.
"Bang!"
Xiao Yuhuan was so frightened that his whole body trembled. He opened his eyes tremblingly, and saw Ruan Qiuping holding his hands in front of him, his shoulders slumped. He was covered in dirt, and bright red blood flowed from his gray temples, just landing on the broken table legs on the ground.
Ruan Qiuping smiled. Even if his magic power was weak, he could still break the rope that tied him.
However, his actions angered the kidnapper behind him. The kidnapper threw away the table leg in his hand, turned around and picked up the axe not far away.
"Xiao Yuhuan, close your eyes." Ruan Qiuping said softly.
“…You…you are hurt…” Little Yuhuan opened his eyes very wide, tears fell continuously, and even his lips were trembling.
Ruan Qiuping wiped his face with his hand, glanced at the blood on his hand, put his hand behind his back, then looked at Xiao Yuhuan and spoke again:
"Be good, listen and close your eyes."
Xiao Yuhuan gritted his teeth, trembling all over and closed his eyes.
Ruan Qiuping breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the man running towards him with an axe and quickly pressed the invisibility button on his bracelet.
The kidnapper was so frightened that he was stunned. He watched such a large living person suddenly disappear in front of his eyes, and he almost wondered if he was dreaming.
The kidnapper turned around in a circle, his eyes were dazed, he held the axe tightly in both hands, raised it in front of himself, his heart was shaking, but he still shouted loudly: "You... come... out! Don't play tricks on me! Come out!"
"You're not coming out, are you? Then I'll kill this little..."
"Bang!" A sharp pain came from the back of the head, the kidnapper's eyes went dark and he fainted.
Ruan Qiuping threw away the stick in his hand and pressed the button to cancel the invisible state.
He walked step by step to Xiao Yuhuan, half squatted on the ground, and while untying Xiao Yuhuan's rope, he said gently: "Xiao Yuhuan, you can open your eyes now."
Xiao Yuhuan's eyelashes trembled, and just as he was about to open his eyes, his whole body went limp and he fell down.
Ruan Qiuping was stunned.
What's going on
Just then, the sound of footsteps became clearer and clearer.
Ruan Qiuping looked up and saw assistant teacher Qi Yue slowly walking towards him.
Qi Yue had no expression on her face, she just said:
"Ruan Qiuping, you violated the rules."
