Chapter 776 The lead aircraft retreats, with wingmen providing cover.

"Hehehe————"

The hand on Ziqiao's shoulder applied only a little force, yet it made him break out in a cold sweat.

He turned his head shakily, his face already plastered with a fawning smile.

Then----

Ziqiao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister Youyou."

Curry Sauce, pushing a cart, stood behind Ziqiao and muttered, "You three really walked too fast, leaving me all alone pushing a cart full of stuff and squeezing through the crowd of elderly people."

"Someone just said that there were limited free meal vouchers being given out. I finally managed to squeeze in, but there wasn't a single voucher, not even a hair."

"By the way, I just heard a group of ladies shouting that they wanted to turn Lu Xiaobu into pan-fried dumplings. Did Brother Ziqiao cause trouble again?"

As she spoke, she looked up at the familiar cartoon God of Wealth costume in front of her, and suddenly realized that something seemed off.

"Sister Youyou, you seem to have grown taller?"

Curry Sauce gripped the cart tightly with both hands and asked as she backed away.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Ziqiao looked around warily, and seeing that he was safe for the time being, he lowered his voice and said, "Curry Sauce, it's me."

"Brother Ziqiao?!"

Curry Sauce paused for a moment, then exclaimed in realization, "Oh—I see, this is that, that...whatever."

"Doraemon swaps princes!"

She thought for a moment, then clapped her hands confidently and said.

Ziqiao muttered angrily, "Idiot, it's a case of switching the prince for a cat!"

"oh."

Curry Sauce nodded, then asked curiously, "Brother Ziqiao, what's going on today?"

"They're chasing you across a thousand miles on New Year's Eve? They're not even celebrating the New Year before they come to catch you?"

"God knows what's going on, these people are like they've got a tracking device on me today!"

Ziqiao felt that he had really had bad luck this New Year's Eve: "The previous waves were all rabble, but this time it was a group of elite troops who had been professionally trained."

"I, Lü Xiaobu, have been in the underworld for so many years, and I've never been this pathetic when I was hiding from debt collectors!"

"Hehehe————"

Curry Sauce grinned widely and said bluntly, "Serves you right."

"hiss----"

Ziqiao tapped Curry Sauce on the head with displeasure: "What do you know, you little brat? This is all the trouble I caused in the past, and now I'm not allowed to turn over a new leaf?"

"I know everything!"

Curry rubbed his head: "A prodigal son returns? 'Returning' means turning around and seriously examining the mistakes you've made. Right now, you've at most turned around and wiggled your butt, and you almost got yourself covered in shit."

"you!"

Ziqiao paused, a sudden feeling of loneliness welling up inside him.

He waved his hand, then quietly pointed to two pairs of ex-girlfriends at the supermarket exit, pulling Curry Sauce along: "Enough nonsense, Curry, you have to do me a favor."

"See those pretty girls at the supermarket exit? I'll hide behind you and block their view for me."

"When we get close to them, try to distract them, and I'll slip away."

"Did you understand?"

Curry nodded and honestly said, "I understand what you've said, but there might be problems in actual practice."

"fine."

Ziqiao took a deep breath and said, "It's always better to have someone help than no one at a time like this. Besides, your IQ is about the same as Meijia's. There's no reason why you can't do what she can do."

Curry Sauce hesitated upon hearing this, wanting to tell Zi Qiao not to have too high expectations of herself, since she was even more destructive than Mei Jia when she was down on her luck.

Besides, although the two of them are about the same intelligence, Meijia has far more experience in the ways of the world than I do.

However, given the current situation, Curry Sauce couldn't possibly watch Zi Qiao be captured by his ex-girlfriends during the Lunar New Year.

She nodded and said, "Then let's go."

As Curry Sauce spoke, she pushed her shopping cart toward the checkout.

"Why are you still pushing a cart at a time like this?"

Ziqiao urged, "Didn't you see the checkout line is almost a long queue? We don't have time to wait in line."

"Let's get out of here quickly, let's get away first."

"But this contains everything I need for New Year's Eve: ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner, decorations for the living room—and my snacks."

Curry Sauce looked down at the car full of stuff with a pained expression. She had risked her life to save it from the elderly people along the way.

These days, older folks are really crazy. They'll buy anything that's cheap or on sale, and they'll even reach into other people's shopping carts if they see something they like.

If they had known the supermarket would be like this today, they should have brought Zhang Wei along.

With Zhang Wei's fighting spirit during big sales, he could act like a crab, rampaging from one end of the supermarket to the other.

Ziqiao, wearing a heavy hood, looked around and said urgently, "Don't worry, Wanyu and Yumo have bought everything we need for New Year's Eve. They're queuing to pay now. If you pay later, you'll have bought the same thing twice."

"As for the food, I'll pay for it for you later, okay?"

"But----"

Ziqiao silently held up two fingers: "I'll buy double!"

"All done!"

Curry Sauce's expression changed instantly. She straightened her back and strode confidently toward the supermarket exit.

"Wait for me."

Ziqiao hunched over, curling his tall frame behind Curry Sauce.

It's just that Curry Sauce is tall enough; if it were any of the other girls in the apartment, they really wouldn't be able to stop a tall man like Zi Qiao who's over 1.8 meters tall.

"Oh right, I almost forgot about this!"

As if she had thought of something, she suddenly turned around and hurriedly walked towards her cart.

This startled Ziqiao, and his voice became sharper: "What are you doing?"

"I'll come back for this."

Curry Sauce rummaged through the cart and found a large, gleaming gold ingot. Without a word, she stuffed it into Zi Qiao's arms: "This ingot matches this outfit. Sister Youyou accidentally knocked it off when she was squeezing in, so I picked it up."

Ziqiao twitched the corner of his mouth: "It's really kind of you to think about this in addition to food."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Curry Sauce, head held high once more, strode forward: "Stop dawdling, speed is of the essence in war, don't you understand?"

Ziqiao was speechless upon hearing this.

No, this—

He pointed to himself in astonishment: "I'm dawdling?"

Who was dawdling just now?!

"hurry up!"

Curry Sauce urged him on, and seeing this, Ziqiao could only take a deep breath, hunch over again, and tiptoe behind her.

And so, the two of them walked one after the other, turning back every few steps as they headed towards the supermarket exit.

Gradually, they got closer and closer to their goal, and the two even saw Wanyu and Yumo queuing to pay in the long line.

Yu Mo exclaimed in surprise, "Curry? What's that behind you—"

"Shh!"

Curry and Ziqiao simultaneously raised an index finger to their lips and looked at Yu Mo.

"oh----"

Yu Mo and Wan Yu immediately understood.

They waved, signaling Curry Sauce to take Ziqiao and leave quickly.

This supermarket is already chaotic enough; if Ziqiao gets caught now, who knows what will happen.

"Oh, right."

Suddenly, Wan Yu had a flash of inspiration. She lowered her voice and whispered to Yu Mo, "Yu Mo, do you think Youyou paid for this outfit?"

"Forehead----"

Before Yu Mo could give a proper answer, the supermarket's buzzing alarm and the long-legged staff rushing towards Zi Qiao had already given the two the answer.

"Hello, it seems you haven't paid for your clothes yet."

"I----"

Seeing that the alarm was attracting the curious glances of his ex-girlfriends at the exit, Ziqiao's heart sank.

Seeing that everyone around them was staring at them like spotlights, Curry Sauce panicked: "What should we do now?"

"What else can we do?"

Seeing his ex-girlfriends approaching him with unfriendly expressions and ferocious faces, Ziqiao gritted his teeth, hardened his heart, and dragged Curry Sauce out.

"Yu Mo! Remember to pay for me!!!"

Ziqiao, who was dragging Curry Sauce around recklessly, shouted loudly.

Yu Mo felt extremely ashamed and covered her face: "I really don't want to admit that I know him."

Even so, seeing that the supermarket staff were about to chase after Ziqiao, she and Wanyu quickly waved to the staff.

"Don't chase him anymore, he's with us, we'll pay for it."

The staff stopped when they heard this, but Zi Qiao's ex-girlfriends still relentlessly chased after them.

At the same time, Ziqiao, who was dragging Curry Sauce and running towards the exit, saw that his six ex-girlfriends who were guarding the exit were also surrounding him. He suddenly asked Curry Sauce a question.

"Curry, have you ever heard the idiom 'sacrifice the pawn to save the king'?"

Upon hearing this, Curry Sauce instantly understood Ziqiao's meaning. Veins throbbed on her forehead: "I've only ever heard of desertion! Cowardice! Ingratitude—"

"I'll buy you five times the amount of the snacks I promised you!"

"Righteousness—it is our duty!"

Curry Sauce's expression immediately turned serious: "My lord, run! Dian Wei will cover your retreat!"

"Take care, E'lai!"

Ziqiao gritted his teeth, shoved the curry sauce at his ex-girlfriend who was flanking him, and then slipped away as fast as he could.

Since ancient times, the principle of the lead aircraft retreating while the wingman provides cover has always been an unchanging truth.

This is the final strategy in Lüshi Chunqiu: the gecko sheds its tail, the cicada sheds its shell!

The ex-girlfriends, having regained their footing, wanted to pursue him again, but Curry Sauce, that ancient evil spirit, came and blocked them with outstretched arms.

Hello, sisters.

Curry Sauce grinned widely, looking at the group of girls as if she were looking at her snacks for the next month.

【I'm protecting Ziqiao today, even God can't take him away!】

I said it!
