Veteran

Chapter 22

District B is a wealthy district second only to District A, where government officials live in groups. Daoyi Street is a concentration of high-end hotels, including hotel chains such as Xirun and Yuelai.However, Cao Yu chose a homestay and asked the black man to open the room with a bald head. After getting the key, he brought Cheng Xiu into the house.

Cheng Xiu surveyed the terrain habitually, and then looked at Cao Yun: "One room and one living room?"

Cao Tong stared at the bald black man: "One bedroom and one living room?"

The bald black man panicked and said, "This homestay caters exclusively for couples. There must only be one room and one living room. You can't go out on your honeymoon and bring your mistress with you." After speaking, he laughed a few times thinking he was humorous.

Cao Yu looked at Cheng Xiu "sorry" and said, "I made a mistake."

Cheng Xiu said, "It's okay, I just wronged you."

An ominous foreboding.

Cheng Xiu hugged a quilt and put it on the sofa.

Cao Yu sighed: "I have a bad waist recently, so I am not suitable for sleeping on the sofa."

Cheng Xiu was very reasonable: "Then I'll sleep on the sofa."

Cao Yu was dying: "Are you sure your waist is good? The waist is very important to a man, and it should be taken care of from an early age."

Cheng Xiu sat down on the sofa: "Although I sleep on the sofa, it can't prove that my waist is fine, but it can prove that my brain is fine."

Cao Yu: "..."

Cao Yu asked the black man to come back two hours later. He and Cheng Xiu took turns taking a shower, took a nap, and went downstairs to eat the lunch provided by the hotel. Just after eating, the black man appeared with a bald head.He was very witty this time, and he pretended to wear a few pieces of red jade on his body, big and small, and the size was very suitable for Cao Yu and Cheng Xiu.

Cao Huang raised his finger and pointed at the jade stones one by one: "Fake, fake, fake, true, fake, fake."

The bald black man was pleasantly surprised: "Is it true?"

Cao Yu said: "Small materials, the market value is about two hundred."

Black bald head downcast.

Cao Yu said: "Work hard and be less distracted, and you will earn more."

Even though he is more than ten years younger than himself, what he said made people involuntarily believe him.The black man with a bald head thought, this must be a child raised by a rich family.It would be great if his own children could be like him.Thinking of this, he became more motivated to make money, and his attitude became more courteous. On the way to accompany him to the civil administration office, he kept introducing Mine Star's tourist attractions and customs vividly and vividly.

Cheng Xiu listened carefully and asked questions from time to time, and the bald black man naturally became more interested in talking.

When he arrived at the Civil Affairs Management Office, Cao Tong paid a sum of money to buy an application form, and applied for Cheng Xiu to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan.

The receptionist had a paralyzed face. He looked at the form indifferently and then at him: "Return to the place of origin of the missing persons?"

Cao Yu was about to narrate the compiled story with emotion when he was thrust with a piece of paper: "Pay the money first, then DNA verification."

The DNA verification was extremely fast, and Cheng Xiu walked in from one side, only to come out from the other side.

Cao Huang returned to the window with the DNA matching certificate and applied for a name change at the same time.The receptionist didn't talk nonsense, and after collecting another sum of money, he quickly completed the formalities and gave him an ID card.

Cheng Xiu took the ID card and turned it over and over strangely.In his previous life, he was a soldier until his death, so he always took a military card.

Cao Yu said: "Your guardian is still your cousin. I can only take over unless she makes a mistake in guardianship or gives up voluntarily."

Cheng Xiu said, "Have you forgotten how old you are?"

Cao Yu: "..."

After the dream of being the guardian of the sweetheart was shattered, Cao Yu was very silent.He took Cheng Xiu back to the homestay, and fell asleep on the sofa without saying a word.

Cheng Xiu saw how wronged he was with his legs curled up, and said, "Go to bed and sleep, I'll sleep on the sofa."

Cao Huang closed his eyes: "I'm thinking."

"Thinking about what?"

"How can I increase the age on my ID card by three years?"

Cheng Xiu suggested: "Draw two beards?"

"..."

Not knowing if his body affected his mind, Cheng Xiu suddenly became curious about Cao Yu's long beard.There is no way, the year he left, Cao Yu was only 35 years old, in his prime, not to mention beard, not even creases.He found a fountain pen from the room, and Cao Yu was still lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, so he tiptoed over, pulled out the cap of the pen, and slowly moved his hand towards it.

Seeing that the tip of the pen was about to touch her face, Cheng Xiu suddenly jumped up, flipped over the sofa and landed on the ground.

Like every worrying parent, Cao Huang sat up worriedly, but saw the little naughty ghost holding a pen, smiling and showing half of his head from behind the sofa.

Cao Yu waved at him and said softly, "Come here, I'll let you draw."

"..." Hearing this tone, Cheng Xiu felt that she had shrunk by another three or four years.He said angrily: "The fun of smearing others is that 'you are showing me and I am hiding'. You disarm and surrender too quickly, and there is no pleasure at all."

Cao Yu's face was strange: "If you haven't tried it, how do you know that I disarm quickly?"

……

Thomas's!

Acting like a hooligan!

Cheng Xiu pointed at Cao Yu and was speechless for a while.Who among them is the one who struggled in the army and was tempered by countless dirty jokes!No matter how rotten a politician's heart is, at least he should maintain his speech and demeanor.

Cao Yu seemed to know what he was thinking, and smiled brightly: "Love can change people."

Cheng Xiu said: "It used to be inhuman, but now it is shameless. If this continues, you will have nothing sooner or later."

Cao Yu smiled and said, "That's why I have to hold on to you. With you, I have the whole world."

Cheng Xiu: "..."

When Cheng Xiu was thinking about throwing a chair or a table, there was a sudden knock on the door.Cao Huang opened the door, and there were two policemen and a middle-aged woman standing outside.

The woman's obscene eyes quickly fell from Cao Yu's face to Cheng Xiu's body, and she burst into tears: "Ah, Lele! Auntie finally found you! You have been lost for a while, and I am so anxious to eat tomorrow." I can't eat, and I can't sleep, but luckily your uncle kept giving me dreams, saying that you would definitely come back, otherwise, I would have gone with you a long time ago!"

Cheng Xiu watched her perform, and only moved aside when she tried to get close.

After Biao Aunt tried a few times but was flashed by him, he was surprised and angry: "Lele, don't you know Biao Aunt?"

Seeing that she never doubted Cheng Xiu's identity from beginning to end, Cao Yu was secretly relieved.

Standing behind the sofa, Cheng Xiu poked out half of her head: "You are a cousin, not an aunt. I remember yours and how you sold me."

My aunt's face turned pale, and she pointed at his nose and yelled curses until the two policemen couldn't stand it anymore, and didn't stop until one policeman warned her to sue her for child abuse.

Another policeman asked Cheng Xiu if he wanted to sue.

Cheng Xiu said: "No, I won't sue her, she raised me. However, I can't live with her anymore, I'm afraid she will sell me again."

Cheng Xiu has a good appearance, even if he doesn't say anything, with a stern face, he still has the cuteness of a milk doll, let alone crying with big teary eyes.

Even Cao Yu, who knew he was acting, felt distressed.

The police coaxed him: "Then do you have any other relatives who can be guardians?"

Cheng Xiu lowered her head, fiddling with the hem of her clothes nervously with her small hands.

Cao Yu finally came on stage to tell the story.

It's not all fake either.At least the part about the Jiaolong Arena was true, but it didn't say how well Cheng Xiu was in the water, and focused on the fact that he was going to play at a young age. As for before, it was vaguely imprisoned by an illegal organization.

It is also the story of seven or eight-year-old children struggling to survive in the arena is so fascinating that neither policeman noticed the previous details.The younger one even wiped away tears: "Why don't you let Mr. Cao be your guardian."

The old policeman looked at Cao Yu: "How old are you?"

Cao Yu depressedly handed out his ID card.

……

Also a minor.

The old policeman thought for a while and said, "I'll go back and find out who else is in your family, and see who is willing to take care of you."

Cao Yu said, "What will happen if you can't find anyone?"

The old policeman said, "Then it can only be sent to an orphanage."

Cao Yu said: "If my father is willing to be the guardian..."

The old policeman said: "Now the government does not accept adoptions. You and him have shared adversity, and I have to fight for the special case. Your father has nothing to do with it. It is estimated that the special case will not be approved. You can only go to his relatives. Look for it." I probably saw that Cao Yu's family background is extraordinary, and he really loves Cheng Xiu, so he mentioned it veiledly, "It doesn't matter if you are far away, just nod your head and go through the procedure. Children always have to go to school, Going to farther places, the role of guardians is also very limited."

Cao Yu asked: "Could you give me a list, let us choose. Xiaoxiu was injured once, and I don't want to make a mistake again." He can get it himself, but it is better to go through the Ming Road.

The old policeman thought about it and nodded.

Aunt Biao had a gloomy face from the beginning to the end, partly because she was afraid that the police would really sue her, and partly because she was annoyed that "Sang Le" was out of control.When the policeman left, he put down his cruel words: "I want to see, who else would want you if you are such a broom star!"

As soon as the door was closed, Cheng Xiu said eccentrically, "Xiaoxiu?"

Cao Huang said, "I don't mind if you call me Xiaohong."

Cheng Xiu said, "Do you usually call it that in your government?"

Cao Yu said, "Yes. My father is Da Cao, I am Xiao Cao, my grandfather is Lao Cao, and my uncle is Lao Cao."

Cheng Xiu said: "When you and your dad were together, did everyone complain about (TWO Cao)?"

Cao Yu said: "No, when the king and the king are together, everyone is afraid of Wang Zha."

Cheng Xiu: "..." This shame is really a fight.

Cao Huang turned on the computer and found a list, next to which was noted their age, occupation, personality, income, family status, etc., in great detail.

Cheng Xiu is not surprised, even Sang Le's DNA data at birth can be easily replaced, so it is easy to get a kinship relationship.

As he watched, Cao Yu analyzed.

"This is a drunkard, his family is poor, and you will suffer if you follow him."

"..."

"This person is not bad, but his wife is fierce and stingy. If you live in it, you will definitely get supercilious."

"..."

"It's not conducive to establishing your correct view of love if you're married and still make boyfriends outside."

"..."

"This one……"

"Wait." Cheng Xiu asked, "You plan to keep me here?"

Cao Yu said, "Of course not."

Cheng Xiu asked: "Is the guardian's background information that important?" If Sang Le was not killed indirectly by his cousin, he didn't want Sang Lequan to be uneasy, and he didn't even mind that his guardian was a little hysterical.

Cao Yu looked at him with gentle eyes: "You deserve the best."

Cheng Xiu sat on the sofa, shook her upturned feet and said, "That can only be narcissistic."

Cao Yu: "..."

Since Cheng Xiu was fine, Cao Yu quickly decided on the guardian - the alcoholic.The reason is simple, his family relationship is the simplest, and the factors influenced by other people are the lowest.

When the police sent the list, he took Cheng Xiu to visit.

The tour guide is still black and bald.Before he left yesterday, Cao Yu settled the day's expenses, and appeared today wearing a new suit, with a completely different spirit.

Cheng Xiu said: "A man depends on his clothes."

The bald-headed black man giggled and said, "This is packaged with money, or how can I say it, money has the world."

Cao Yu asked, "Who said that?"

The bald black man said, "This is a famous saying in our local area."

Cao Yu whispered to Cheng Xiu, "Obviously there is a world because of you."

I knew it would happen, thanks to my wit.

Cheng Xiu pulled off the blindfold on her head and went to sleep.

District F, where the alcoholic lives, has the lowest housing prices, the worst public security, the most primitive infrastructure, and the lowest cost of living among the six districts of Mining Star.

The bald blacks took their car to the spaceship and then to the taxi, and it took them more than six hours to get there.They were not relieved to see their destination. The dark and damp alley seemed to lead to a garbage dump, full of mess and stench.

Cao Yu asked the bald black man to take Cheng Xiu to find a place to sit, and then went alone.

The black bald man was very moved by his trust, and promised again and again that he would take good care of the children.

Seeing Cao Yu's figure disappear into the alley, Cheng Xiu urged the bald black man to follow.

The bald black man coaxed him: "Your brother asked me to take you to buy ice cream."

Cheng Xiu glanced at him coldly, and strode towards the alley, the bald black man subconsciously grabbed him, but he didn't catch him, and hurriedly chased after him, and as soon as he started running, Cheng Xiu started to run after him.No matter how fast his short legs swung, he couldn't beat the bald black man, so he could only dodge by relying on his agility.

The bald black man lost his temper, stopped and surrendered: "Okay, okay, you win, I will take you to find your brother."

Cheng Xiu said, "You're lying."

"I'm serious." The bald black man tried to open his eyes wide to show his sincerity.

Cheng Xiu said coldly: "If you lie to me, you will break the little dick."

The bald black man subconsciously put his legs together.

Cheng Xiu strode forward with her hands behind her back.

The bald black man stretched out his hand to grab it, and Cheng Xiu turned around and kicked in a roundabout, which hit him in an indescribable place, making his face distorted beyond description.

Cheng Xiu watched him get lower little by little to be at the same level as her, and said slowly: "I persuaded you."

The black man's bald face was flushed, and he waved his hands in the direction of his departure: "You, wait."

Cheng Xiu didn't turn her head back: "Are you addicted?"

"Do you know... where to go?" The bald black man squatted and jumped a few times, and slowly lay on the ground.

Cheng Xiu's feet slowly appeared beside his face, and lightly kicked his shoulder: "Hey, lead the way."

The bald black man remained motionless.

Cheng Xiu said, "Don't pretend to be dead, I didn't kick hard enough."

The bald black man raised his head with tears in his eyes: "I'm broken, I can't have children..."

"Pfft!" Cheng Xiu held back her laughter, and heard familiar footsteps, and when she turned her head, she saw Cao Yu's upright figure slowly approaching, followed by a dangling shadow.Closer, there was a smell of alcohol.

Cao Yu bent down and picked up Cheng Xiu, without even looking at the bald black man on the ground: "Go back."

……

The bald black man got up silently, looked at the stumbling alcoholic with distaste, and followed.

What happened next went very smoothly.Since the adoption relationship has been banned, the guardian is a thankless job. If he is raised well, he may not be brought to his death. If he is not raised, the police will come to check the water meter, so the procedure is very smooth.The drunkard signed the guardian transfer letter, and Cheng Xiu officially transferred to his name.

The bald-headed black man sent the drunkard home, and Cheng Xiu and Cao Tong went home together.

Cheng Xiu asked Cao Yu, "How much is a month?"

Cao Yu said, "No money."

Cheng Xiu said: "Don't say that he was shocked when he saw you, and he will worship you under your suit pants from then on, like a dog and a horse."

Cao Yu said: "...can you come out of Jinjiang?"

"It has nothing to do with Jinjiang this time, it's entirely my analysis of your role."

Cao Yu pursed his lips, but still couldn't hold back, and said with a smile, "Is this your impression of me?"

"Didn't I mention my impression of you last time?"

"A gray suit with a silk shirt?"

Cheng Xiu said: "Well, the face is easy to remember, I'm very relieved to hand over the documents to him."

Cao Yu smiled: "How easy is the face to remember?" Paused, before Cheng Xiu could speak, he cut it off quickly, "Forget it, I'm very happy to hear 'face is easy to remember', so I don't want to listen to it. Next sentence." The contented person is always happy, so that the next sentence will not distort this sentence.

Cheng Xiu didn't force it either: "You promised to give wine to the alcoholic?"

"Once a day, reduce appropriately until he slowly wakes up."

Cheng Xiu was a little surprised.Cao Yu is not a nosy person, he was probably born in a political family, and he has heard a lot of news about poverty and suffering in various places since he was a child.

Cao Yu said, "He is your guardian."

Cheng Xiu said, "Then he should really thank me. When are we leaving?"

Cao Yu said, "Wait a little longer."

"Wait for what?"

"Clean up the troubles."

Cheng Xiu didn't understand what he meant at first, until they sneaked into his aunt's house.

Cao Yu said: "Although I changed Sang Le's DNA data kept in the civil affairs management office, he may have left traces after staying in this home for a period of time, which must be cleaned up."

Cheng Xiu said, "You think that in the future, someone will search for the root of my origins."

Cao Yu said, "Song Yu is still alive."

Cheng Xiu stopped talking.

Not bad.

Song Yu knew his details, and might have evidence of his resurrection.As long as Song Yu is alive, he will face the danger of his identity being exposed at any time.What is waiting for him will never be joyous celebrations from all over the country for his survival, and he may even be euthanized by using illegal experiments.

Cao Yu took his hand and rubbed the back of it lightly: "Don't worry. He is also a member of the laboratory, and he will not want to die with you unless it is absolutely necessary."

While talking, he dug out a pile of baby products from the cabinet, and also dug out a children's pillow and quilt from the closet.

Cheng Xiu watched in amazement as he put more and more things into the box: "Are you going to take the things away? Won't she call the police?"

"Certainly call the police."

Not long after finishing speaking, Cao Yu destroyed the fire prevention device and set the house on fire.

Cheng Xiu was stunned.

When the fever was almost over, he calmly called the police.

Cao Yu said, "Don't affect your neighbors."

Cheng Xiu: "..."

Afterwards, Cao Yu did not leave, but went to another house to look for things.

Cheng Xiu said, "This family also took in Sang Le?"

"When Sang Le's parents were alive, they hired her as a nanny." Cao Tong explained, "Some nanny like children, and they will collect things they used, such as..." He took out a box of pacifiers.

Cheng Xiu: "..."

Cao Huang searched around, took the things away, and left a wad of money.

Cheng Xiu jokingly said, "Money is not fireproof."

Coming out of this house, Cheng Xiu asked, "Are you going to the hospital next?"

Cao Huang said: "I have changed all the information about the hospital. Their sheets and quilts are cleaned at high temperature every time, and they are changed once a year. There should be no problem."

Cheng Xiu said, "Then can we go?"

Cao Yu thought for a while and said, "There is another place."

This time it was a bit unsatisfactory. When they went, the people in this family had just returned home.

Cao Yu and Cheng Xiu had no choice but to wait outside. After waiting for a while, the man hurried out again with a camera on his back, heading towards his cousin's aunt's house.

Cao Yu said: "He is a photographer."

Cheng Xiu said: "You suspect that he took a picture of Sang Le? So what? We look alike."

Cao Yu said: "Sang Le has a mole on his arm. Although it is not obvious, anyone who is interested can still see it."

Cheng Xiu: "..."

Immediately afterwards, Cao Tong successfully found the photographer's photo collection room, and turned to the photos from that year, and there really was an album named "Sang Le".

Cao Yu turned over one by one.Most of Sang Le in the photos are wearing clothes, and occasionally a few of them show their arms, and just missed the location of the mole, so this album is safe and sound.

The two put the photo album back to its original place, and returned to the hotel quietly.

Cao Yu poured a cup of tea, sat on the rocking chair and closed his eyes in thought.

Cheng Xiu counted with her fingers: "Nanny, photographer... who else?" This kind of meticulous work is really not his forte.

Cao Yu went through Sang Le's life trajectory from childhood to adulthood in his mind, and suddenly opened his eyes: "There is another person."
