Chapter 716 Pretend to deliver a baby

Lao Liu officially retired and quietly came to the eastern part of Decheng, took a hand card, and entered the bathing center.

After he came in, he saw the head of the Mayi Sect, who was wearing only a pair of shorts and selling products to customers.

“Scrub it with a towel, it won’t hurt. Look at the options here, pedicure, cupping, milk, sulfur, salt, pick any three of them with the scrub and you’ll get a free bath ticket.”

The guest seemed unable to accept it. He lay there and was being scrubbed. Chen Tao looked around and lowered his voice.

“If you just want to scrub your body, you can try it. I won’t remember it for you. Twenty-eight, just transfer it to me.”

Hearing this, the customer’s expression changed slightly. He then looked at the price list hanging on the wall and saw that a bath was 58 yuan, so he nodded.

Chen Tao smiled happily and immediately started to scrub the man’s back seriously, massaging all the bones in his body.

After finishing, Chen Tao also gave him some sulfur, applied it on his body, and then tapped his back.

“It’s a gift. Don’t worry. Don’t remember it. If you think it’s ok, you can try it again next time. Steam it for a while and then rinse it.”

Chen Tao happily saw off the very satisfied guest, and Lao Liu walked over with a speechless look on his face.

“You are the boss yourself, why are you still doing this?”

“I haven’t massaged my bones for two days, and my hands are itching. I used to see those bathing masters doing this, but I didn’t dare to cheat the boss of his money. It’s pure idiocy to create karma for that little money.

Now that I am my own boss, it’s no problem for me to satisfy my cravings.

What? Lao Liu, do you want to have a bath?”

“Yeah.” Old Liu nodded.

“Oh, you dare to ask me to give you a bath?” Chen Tao laughed.

“I’m retired.” Old Liu lay on the bathing bed very familiarly. Now, he didn’t care about being touched by Chen Tao.

Chen Tao nodded, said nothing more, and continued to scrub the boy’s back seriously.

Lao Liu spoke only after he finished scrubbing his head.

“I won’t rent this place to you anymore. From now on, it won’t be counted as rent. I’ll just convert it into shares here. How about that?”

Chen Tao remained silent and did not rush to answer.

He touched Lao Liu’s bones, and the feeling this time was indeed different from the previous rough result of fortune-telling.

He knew what Lao Liu wanted, which was to live a stable life after retirement.

But he was still unsure whether to accept it.

He actually doesn’t really care whether the money is a lot or a little. After all, every apprentice he takes in is a ghost, so there isn’t much room for spending money.

Seeing that Chen Tao didn’t say anything, Old Liu continued.

“Twenty percent. If you think it’s okay, you can sign the contract today.”

He roughly calculated that the bath center opened by Chen Tao could barely make a little profit because of the low rent, low water and electricity costs, and low labor costs. In fact, it was not profitable.

If he used the rent here to invest in the company, 20% at most would be his profit. However, if he used the venue directly as investment, the price of the venue would be higher than the profit Chen Tao made from working hard here for ten years.

Asking for 20% is basically the same as paying Chen Tao to do something.

Chen Tao thought about it and didn’t agree directly. He was a little confused now. After touching the bones and reading the face, he was still a little unsure.

If he has any friends in the underworld who want to live a peaceful life without any major problems or taboos, he would be happy to help.

But the other party offered such a high price right away, and he couldn’t see the situation clearly, so he didn’t dare to accept it easily.

According to Chen Tao’s experience, if someone is standing in the territory of Decheng and he cannot see clearly, there is at least an 80% to 90% chance that he has some complicated relationship with Wen Yan.

But whether this relationship is good or bad is not necessarily the case.

This is easy to solve. Please ask Wen Yan to help prepare the case later. We just need to meet once.

When this thought came to mind, Chen Tao said.

“You are an alien after all. I will ask someone to register you. After the registration, there will be no problem. If you are willing to be a scapegoat, I will not stop you.”

“Okay.” Old Liu nodded, feeling a little disappointed.

But this was also within his expectations, and he had a plan in mind.

He had a lot of information in his hands before, and this information had nothing to do with his boss, so he had prepared it long ago.

I had originally planned to give it to Wen Yan after I retired, in exchange for an opportunity to retire and enjoy my old age here.

Lao Liu went to the sauna, and Chen Tao followed him in, took a towel, covered his face, and lay there.

“Old Liu, I know you are the kind of person who knows what’s going on. Considering that the rent you offer is so cheap and you are not interfering, I’ll tell you something. If you hesitate, you will fail.”

“Thank you.”

Old Liu’s heart moved and he nodded, taking these words to heart.

He was in a hurry to retire this time, and even retired immediately when Lu Xingwei did not give a clear answer of “remember”. In fact, he felt that his boss was beginning to hesitate.

In addition, he was asked to deal with Lu Xingwei, so he knew that if he didn’t retire now, he would never be able to retire again.

Who is he? Ask him to deal with Lu Xingwei?
Doesn’t he know that Lu Xingwei came out of the Yellow River?
No matter whether Lu Xingwei has an ID card or not, based on his experiences over the past twenty years, the moment he came out of the Yellow River, he could no longer be the same Lu Xingwei.

Hearing Chen Tao’s words at this moment, Lao Liu’s heart moved and two words flashed through his mind.

All in.

He spoke without any hesitation.

“If it’s convenient, could you introduce Wen Yan to me for reference? I have some information that he will definitely be interested in.”

Chen Tao took off the towel covering his face, smiled, and nodded happily.

He is willing to rent Lao Liu’s house and chat with Lao Liu, just because he likes Lao Liu’s ability to know what’s going on and listen to advice.

“I’ll go out and contact Wen Yan later. It would be better if you could bring it now.”

Old Liu pondered for a moment and decisively decided to reveal some explosive information to ensure that Wen Yan would definitely come.

“Tell him that the life or death of the River God’s wife is not important, the life or death of Mr. Lu is important.”

Chen Tao raised his eyebrows and thought, hey, he came prepared. If Wen Yan heard this, he would definitely come. After he came, whether he would come to chat or arrest someone is not certain.

After Chen Tao came out, he took out his cell phone and called Wen Yan, but was told that the call could not be connected at the moment. Then, another prompt tone sounded, telling him that he could leave a message.

Chen Tao just said that he had something important to discuss with him, and when he saw the message, he came to the bath center.

After finishing the call, Chen Tao came back and looked at Lao Liu again. He saw that Lao Liu’s face was flushed and steam was coming out of his body.

Chen Tao was amazed. The red light from external force actually changed his facial features a little, even if it was only temporary.

……

At the same time, in Shanghai, a middle-aged man sat on a chair, looking at the bustling crowd outside the window. Old Liu had retired, and he was still not used to it.

In the small display case on the side of the table, a green plastic soldier suddenly moved.

The little man carrying a gun walked to the edge of the display case, looked at the middle-aged man, and made a strange tone.

“Liu, we have found clues to the immortal tree. Are you interested in coming with us? As usual, we will split all the gains equally, and after we are done, we can trade our gains with each other.”

“Not interested.” The middle-aged man refused without changing his expression.

“Don’t be so hasty to refuse. The clues we got this time are related to water, and fresh water. They are also related to the years of death. Are you sure you are not interested?”

The middle-aged man’s eyes changed slightly, he hesitated for a moment, and continued to ask. “I need more specifics.”

“You are called Past Dreams, right? Right there. According to the inscription we translated, the entrance is right there. We need your power to open the entrance.”

Seeing that the middle-aged man remained silent, the little green plastic man began to increase the bet.

“Okay, I can still make the decision and make you a member of the protection of the Divine Law, but how far you can go in the future depends on you.”

The middle-aged man continued in silence.

“Okay, okay, time is running out. According to our translation results, there is only a three-day window.

After this time, you will have to wait another sixty years.

As long as you come to help open the door, we can give you one of the dream artifacts.”

This time, the middle-aged man spoke.

“Where is the location?”

“In Shaohai of your Shenzhou.” The little plastic man replied, and then asked casually: “Liu, I still don’t know why you want Europa’s dream artifact. Why don’t you tell us what you want to do? We can do our best to help you. You know, I have a friend who has raised many nightmares.”

“No need.”

The middle-aged man took a look at his mobile phone and looked at some messages on it. He sighed secretly. He was originally planning to find an opportunity to travel to the south, but now more important things have come up.

He hasn’t had a nosebleed for two days, so he should be back in good health. But Wen Yan hasn’t come back yet. He must be lost and may take another two days to come back.

Maybe Wen Yan was delayed because he was taking care of Luo Shen.

He believed that Wen Yan would definitely not be completely lost in his old dream. There was no doubt that he had a brilliant record.

His opinion is different from others. He doesn’t think Wen Yan will rely on Luo Shen. It’s more likely that Luo Shen will rely on Wen Yan.

Half a day later.

“Sister, this is the situation, do you want to go over and take a look?
I can’t tell which person it is, maybe he’s the one I’m looking for.

But if I continue like this, there is a chance that the person who sees me not eating will think that I look down on them.

But in her eyes, the food served was the best thing that could be served to guests.

But I really can’t bring myself to eat it.”

At dawn, Wen Yan politely declined Liu Feipeng’s wife’s invitation to have dinner together and hurried to find Luo Shen.

He had tried his best and treated the Big Dream Snake Mother as Liu Feipeng’s wife and an ordinary person. However, the things she took out were like freshly cut raw meat, still bleeding. How could he eat them?

Luo Shen stood on the top of the mountain, looking at Liujia Village from afar, which was still seven or eight mountains away from Liujia Village. There was no movement for a long time.

“Speaking of which, sister, you know that I am not well educated and I don’t understand many things.

So, can I ask, this time we came in to investigate those rivers… to investigate those female water ghosts.

How did you end up in a place like this?
Could it be that this is actually the source of what we want to investigate?”

Luo Shen glanced at Wen Yan and didn’t answer.

But Wen Yan understood her expression.

You already know the answer and have spoken it out loud, so why are you asking such a stupid question?

Luo Shen did not answer Wen Yan’s question, but pointed into the distance.

“I can’t go over there. If I go over there, I’ll wake her up from her dream, and there will only be two possible outcomes.

One is a complete collapse, the other is a fresh start.

Either way, the result is that we will be lost here.

Then slowly, I was assimilated by this place, or other old dreams, bit by bit, and could no longer leave.

Our consciousness will also be erased bit by bit, and we will forget that we are still dreaming. “

“Sister, how about we go first? I know a small path.” Wen Yan decisively gave up the operation that might wake others up from their sweet dreams.

A ruthless character who could do such a thing in the Dharma-Ending Age, he felt that he should be polite and it was immoral to wake up others without permission.

“She is about to give birth.” Luo Shen suddenly spoke.

Wen Yan decisively prepared to run away.

“It’s too late. We have to start all over again here.” Luo Shen had just finished saying this when he saw Wen Yan stop.

His thought suddenly changed.

“Let’s go. We’re about to start over again, so why not take a closer look and then run away.”

Wen Yan flicked his wrist, and the gray cloth flew out, directly pulling Luo Shen with him. The speed soared to the extreme, and he rushed directly back to Liujia Village.

He saw that the network of flesh and blood membranes on the road in Liujia Village were beating frequently, and the huge ball of flesh behind Liu Feipeng’s house was beating faster and faster.

As for why the baby was still a few months away from being born yesterday, but the due date suddenly arrived today, Wen Yan didn’t want to ask more.

He rushed to Liu Feipeng’s door and saw Liu Feipeng rushing out.

Liu Feipeng looked at the skeleton man with flames burning in his eye sockets in front of him, and his fear disappeared. He took the initiative to rush forward and grabbed Wen Yan’s arm. Black ash kept falling from his body due to the burns, but he did not let go.

His face showed anxiety, pleading, and a sense of helplessness and confusion.

“Doctor Wen, my wife is about to give birth. Please help me.”

“Well, I’ll go take a look.”

Wen Yan followed Liu Feipeng inside and saw the big dream snake mother lying on the kang. Her thick tail was shaking restlessly, and the thick umbilical cord on her body was also expanding and contracting at an increasingly faster frequency.

She let out a suppressed and painful wail, and when she saw Liu Feipeng coming in, she grabbed Liu Feipeng’s arm.

Wen Yan watched this scene, raised his head, and saw the huge mass of flesh and blood that looked like a small hill. How could he help with the delivery?

At the same time, in the present world, at the junction of the Haihe River, half of the water is yellow and half of the water is blue, with a clear boundary in the middle.

The middle-aged man came here by boat like an ordinary tourist.

The boat sailed to the boundary line and sailed a short distance along it. He took a deep breath, stretched out a hand and touched the boundary line.

In an instant, the surrounding environment seemed to become unreal.

At the same time, in the old dream, the Big Dream Snake Mother let out a shrill scream, and the huge mountain of flesh and blood split in the middle, like a mountain torrent, and a large amount of yellow water rushed down with a rumbling sound.

When the mountain of blood and flesh collapsed completely and the mountain torrent slowly dissipated, a naked child was washed into the yard.

Wen Yan took a clean blanket, controlled the water flow, washed the kid clean, carried the kid into the room, and placed him next to Liu Feipeng’s wife.

“It’s a son.”

On the other side, the middle-aged man touched the boundary line of Haihe River. When everything around him became more and more blurred, he dived directly into the water.

The moment he entered, he was startled.

At that moment, he seemed to see Wen Yan’s face, which was particularly large and filled his sight. Wen Yan frowned, and there was scrutiny and weirdness in his eyes.

In just a moment, the picture disappeared.

Then he touched his nose and it started bleeding again.
