Chapter 55: Farewell, Glasses Man

  I chatted with the old man for half a day and still didn't get to the point, so I randomly changed the subject and said: "Have you been watching the news lately?"

  The old man said: "Are you referring to Jinlv Yuyi?"

  I suddenly became interested: "What's your take on this?"

  The old man said: "That little devil is too hateful, it can be understood for the sake of eating, but he shouldn't have his mind on national treasures, and that old man with the surname Ma is also quite innocent."

  I smiled and said, "I think so too." With the old man's words, I can also use chicken feathers as a token of authority. In the future, if someone asks about Erzi, I can say that this is the old master's instructions from behind the scenes.

  The old man looked at me sideways and said, "You came all the way here so early just to tell me this nonsense?"

  "Aren't you leaving in another month? I just came to make a pre-visit, see if you have any high-level plans, so I can prepare."

  The old man laughed and scolded: "Nonsense again - if you have something serious to say, hurry up and say it, otherwise get out of here."

  I stood up and smiled: "Then I'll leave, let's meet again next month for a drink."

  The old man muttered: "You really have nothing better to do?"

  I smiled: "Nothing's wrong."

  The old man pointed outside the door and said, "Get out for real." The old man rarely made a joke.

  As I went out of the door, I saw Su Jing standing with his hands behind him, looking up at the sky listlessly.

  "What are you looking at?"

  Su Jingdao said: "The walls of this prison are too low, an ordinary swordsman can jump out."

  At this time, Xiao Wang also came over and led us out. I asked him in a low voice, "What if someone tries to escape by jumping directly from the wall?"

  Xiao Wang's expression turned serious and he said: "This joke can't be taken too far!"

  I'm delighted.

  As we got out of the prison gate and back on the bus, it was almost noon. The No. 24 bus was moving slowly in the traffic flow, struggling to make progress. This time was when the traffic volume was the largest, our public transportation didn't have a dedicated lane, so it could only move forward with difficulty, together with various private cars. Finally, we encountered a traffic jam at an intersection. The cause was that a Hyundai tried to turn left during the green light, but apparently, the taxi on the opposite side also wanted to take advantage of this brief moment to pass through. Two cars originally going in opposite directions stopped at the road junction, the Hyundai wanting to turn left, and the taxi insisting on passing first from its front. The two cars jammed together, blocking the already narrow intersection. Cars on adjacent lanes saw that it was a green light and joined in, small cars managed to squeeze through with difficulty, while larger SUVs and buses could only stop behind the two cars and honk their horns frantically. Within three minutes, the entire road was congested...

  There is no traffic police at this intersection, drivers don't give way to each other, and they take advantage of every opportunity to squeeze in, as a result, whether it's the red line or the green line, neither can move forward, and a big jam forms in the middle of the road.

  The driver of our car started to move forward slowly, and when he saw that it was really congested, he turned off the engine and leaned on the steering wheel to watch the commotion. Some passengers began to complain: "Master, think of a solution."

  "What can I do? Don't you see that everything is blocked?"

  Some people said: "Can't we just give way to each other and go?" But this kind of talk is useless, besides, it's hard for modern cars and taxis to give way.

  It's been stuck for nearly 10 minutes, and the situation hasn't improved at all. On the contrary, even the cars behind are stuck now.

  At this time, a man in the car squeezed to the front of the car door and shouted: "Open the door!"

  The driver hesitated for a moment before opening the rear door and saying, "Those who are getting off, hurry up. It won't take less than an hour to get through." The crowd immediately erupted in another wave of complaints.

  The man who shouted for the driver to open the door got off the car but didn't leave, he went straight to the intersection and tapped on the hood of the two cars that were about to collide, saying: "You both stop arguing, listen to me!"

  The drivers of both the modern car and the taxi stuck their heads out and asked: "What are you doing?"

  "This man rolled up his sleeves and said: 'Do you still want to leave or not?'"

  The two drivers didn't say anything anymore.

  "This man pointed to the rental car lane: 'You move over a bit and let him go ahead.'"

  "Come on, I'm telling you where I want to go, just let me drive forward, or I'll be late getting home!"

  He said: "Why don't you just turn around at the next intersection?"

  Modern discontent: "I'm almost home, shall I take a detour?"

  That man also said loudly: "You're not heartbroken about those two yuan of gasoline, are you? Taking a detour can bankrupt you!"

  "Alright, alright, can't you hear me?" The taxi driver cautiously drove through the narrow gap that had been left open for him, while the other man waved his arm and directed the cars behind: "Go, go, go." Then he turned to the eager taxi and said, "You wait."

  "All green lights, why should I wait?" said the taxi driver.

  "Can you leave?" he glared at him.

  The taxi driver saw him blowing his mustache and staring, but didn't know what he was capable of, so he could only swallow his anger. The traffic finally started to pick up under this man's command, and when our car was finally able to move, he ran back on board in three strides, the driver deliberately waiting for him and admiringly said: "You really have a way with you, are you a traffic cop?"

  He adjusted his glasses and said, "No, I'm using stupid methods. The main reason is that people nowadays are too selfish."

  From start to finish, I felt that this person looked familiar, but couldn't quite put my finger on where I had seen him before. It wasn't until he adjusted his glasses that I was shocked: "How could it be him?" This person's glasses were very distinctive - a gold-rimmed pair that you don't often see these days. And then it hit me - this was the same person who, when I got struck by lightning, had stolen my wallet and didn't even dare to make a sound!

  I didn't think of him at first because I didn't have a deep impression of him, and the main reason is that he is now completely different from when I first met him! When I first saw him, this little glasses was timid and cowardly, I helped him find his wallet and he didn't even fart, being scolded by the thin man and not daring to tell the truth. But now, Glasses brother still wears the same glasses and dresses in the same way, but with sleeves rolled up and buttons undone, especially when he gave orders just now, he had a dignified and majestic demeanor, which is absolutely impossible for someone with his personality to do. If it weren't for the fact that they looked exactly the same, I wouldn't have believed it was the same person.

  I stared blankly at Su Jing, pointing at the golden-rimmed glasses and stuttering: "That person..."

  Su Jingping calmly said: "Just now I discovered it, that person's body also carried your Three Successions Sword Aura."

  I slapped my thigh: "No wonder!" Then I asked her again, "Will the sword energy change a person's personality?"

  Su Jingdao said: "It shouldn't be like this, why are you asking?"

  I smiled wryly and said, "You haven't seen what he was like before. When others took his things, he didn't even dare to fart."

  Su Jingdao said: "But I can feel that he has your sword aura on him, but that sword aura is only dormant in his body and hasn't been truly utilized by him. What's going on?"

  I was even more at a loss, and could only casually make something up: "It's probably the same principle as how liquor can give courage to a coward, my sword energy he may not be able to use, but the side effect is that it changed him into a different person."

  Su Jingdao said: "Don't just talk, ask him where he lives."

  I suddenly came to my senses and squeezed through the crowd to his side, saying: "Brother, you're doing a great job!"

  "There's nothing much, it's convenient for both others and ourselves." The glasses turned back to look at me with a bit of confusion, saying: "Haven't we met before?"

  I reminded him: "Last time was also on No. 24 bus, your wallet almost got lost..."

  "Glasses suddenly said: 'So it's you.' He said as he patted me heavily on the chest, 'I was thinking of finding you.'"

  "What do you want from me?"

  His eyes revealed a complex expression: "Thanks, I've been thinking about that last time and the more I think about it, the more I feel like losing face. That thing was really not done by a man. Since then, I've always wanted to find two people, one is you, and the other is that little thief who stole my wallet. If I meet him again this time, I'll definitely fight with him!"

  Generally, people who turn back and say such things when something happens are just boasting, but I understand that Glasses is probably telling the truth. I didn't expect Glasses to actually admit everything from last time without fear of losing face, which shows that he has a broad mind too. Unfortunately, if it weren't for knowing why he became like this, I would really want to be friends with someone like him.

  "Ah, it's so easy to run into you, you can't just leave like that. Come home with me at noon and let my wife cook a couple of dishes for us to have a drink."

  I hesitated: "Is this convenient?"

  "If there's anything inconvenient, from now on you're my own brother. Oh, next stop we should get off the bus."

  Su Jingchong nodded slightly, I knew what she was thinking, after finding the glasses at their house, they would come to collect the debt, so I had no choice but to say: "Okay, it's just too embarrassing."

  After getting off the car, I was thinking of buying some fruits as a gift, but Yanzhu pulled me away: "Don't bother with those trivial things, Brother isn't an outsider."

  I secretly sighed with emotion, this same person, temperament is like heaven and earth, if put on the previous glasses it's really unthinkable.

  We walked along the road for a short distance and entered a beautiful neighborhood, it seems that the family of glasses is not bad. After entering the unit door and going upstairs, glasses opened the door and shouted: "Aihua, come and see my brother."

  A plump middle-aged woman with a round face and a hint of obesity walked out of the kitchen, wiping her hands on her apron: "Welcome, welcome."

  The glasses opened the shoe cabinet and arranged slippers for us: "Change if you want to change, don't change if you don't want to, I'm afraid you're not comfortable."

  "Come yourself, come yourself."

  His wife smiled at us and said to him, "This is still your first time bringing someone home for dinner, introduce them properly."

  "Oh, I completely forgot about this!" The glasses-wearing guy put his hand on my shoulder and said enthusiastically: "This is..." At this point, he suddenly remembered that we had actually only met twice. He scratched his head and said, "Right, brother, what's your name?"

  The bespectacled wife looked at us with a puzzled expression...

  Division line

  Think about it, is there a friend around you who changes his personality suddenly? That feeling is quite interesting.
