Looking at the unfamiliar number displayed on the phone.
Fang Cheng hesitated for a moment and chose to press the answer button.
"Hey, A Cheng, it's me!"
A slightly unruly voice soon came out of the microphone.
"Uncle?"
Fang Cheng raised his eyebrows and said immediately, "Where are you now and why did you change your number?"
"I'm busy with business outside and accompanying clients."
Li Dingjian answered vaguely, and then asked, "Is grandpa Surgery ready? How is his condition?"
Fang Cheng then relayed the general situation and the doctor's words to him.
"Hey--"
Li Dingjian sighed heavily after hearing this, and then cursed:
"Originally I was able to get back to Eastern Capital in time, but something unexpected happened and I was delayed by a few bastards..."
At this point, he paused for a moment, and then said with a bit of joy:
"Don't talk about me for now. You and sister have worked hard these days. I will be back in a few days, and then uncle will give you a big surprise!"
Surprise?
Fang Cheng shook his head and smiled, just hoping that his uncle would come back safely.
The two continued to chat for a few words and then hung up the phone.
Look at your phone to show the time.
Today is the 27th, the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, and there are only ten days left until the Chinese New Year.
I have been busy exercising and improving my skills recently, so it seems I need to take some time to buy new year's goods.
For example, buy a new dress for Mom and prepare a gift for Wen Xin.
Thinking of this, Fang Cheng raised his eyes and looked at the bustling crowds and dazzling display windows on a pedestrian street in front of him.
Today is the weekend, and this is Jiangdong District's well-known commercial center.
There were so many people shopping, each with their children pushing shopping carts, it was quite a crowded scene.
Many shopping malls and stores have taken the opportunity to launch promotions to welcome the New Year.
Since none of the fitness equipment looks satisfactory, let's buy some New Year's goods to take home.
Listening to the song "Congratulations on getting rich" floating in his ears, Fang Cheng followed the crowd and walked into a large and bustling supermarket nearby.
An afternoon passed in the blink of an eye.
The setting sun dyed the sky red, and the street lights and signboards on both sides of Street gradually lit up, adding a bit of a festive atmosphere.
The number of people shopping around did not decrease, but became more and more noisy.
Fang Cheng walked out of the mall carrying two large packaging bags.
I had a shopping addiction today, and the trunk of Taxi was almost filled with the things I bought.
Basically they are clothing, snacks, daily necessities, etc.
This is not over yet.
Fang Cheng Return to the previous sports goods store.
I re-ordered ten Barbell tablets and agreed to deliver them to my door tomorrow.
Barbell tablets can actually be used as weight-bearing objects for Squats, Leg Raises, and Pull-Ups training.
As for other fitness equipment with special needs, Fang Cheng decided to find a familiar processing workshop on Old Factory Street to customize it.
Seeing Fang Cheng acting like this, the driver spoke to Taxi while driving:
"Little brother, are you ready to learn fitness?"
Fang Cheng is sitting in the back seat, nodding yes.
The driver was fat and had a short beard. He seemed like a talkative person and kept talking along the topic:
"It's good to keep fit. Build some muscles. If you meet a bad guy, show off your biceps and they won't dare to attack you."
"You know, the public security in Eastern Capital is not very good now. In the past two months, there are always Organized Crime showing off and killing people in the Jiangbei area..."
Fang Cheng smiled when he heard this and said nothing.
The driver was a little bored after the conversation and returned his attention to the road conditions.
At this time, the melody of the radio song coming out of the car radio suddenly paused and turned into a human voice:
"Now here is a piece of news. Recently, Eastern Capital strange diseases of unknown origin have appeared in many areas. So far, hundreds of people have been infected. The symptoms are intermittent mania, white pupils, slow reaction, extremely powerful, and a tendency to violent attacks..."
"Health Department is initially identified as an extremely rare infectious disease, which may be related to the mad cow disease that occurred in a certain country. Air droplet and water transmission routes can be ruled out, so the risk of a large-scale epidemic is low."
"Currently, the police have implemented blockades and investigation measures in places with a high number of cases. The general public is advised to stay away from the following places unless necessary..."
"At the same time, please rest assured and do not spread rumors. If you have similar symptoms around you, you can call the police in time or call the dedicated hotline..."
The driver glanced at the rearview mirror and found that Fang Cheng, who was sitting in the back seat, was distracted by the news.
I thought I had found a topic, so I started talking again:
"Little brother, you don't know, this afternoon when I was soliciting customers at Xiguan, I met a crazy man. Fortunately, I know kung fu and am agile, so I acted bravely and decisively subdued him Joint Lock before the police arrived."
"Master Do you know kung fu?"
Fang Cheng couldn't help but look surprised when he heard this and looked at the fat and strong driver brother.
There is no mistake, every song is published and every content is read one by one!
"Of course, how else would I dare to drive the night bus?"
The driver laughed and said slightly proudly:
"Let me tell you, the Kung Fu I learned is the famous Great Sage Pi Gua Fist. This Fist Technique is most about long bridges and big horses, defeating the enemy with one move..."
Amid the driver's endless barrage of words, Taxi was also driving smoothly and quickly.
As night fell, we finally arrived at Old Factory Street.
Fang Cheng got off the car, the driver was still babbling:
"Little brother, I got along very well with you. If we meet again next time, I'll teach you how to speak well. If you have skill, you won't be a coward..."
Fang Cheng's ears were buzzing and he was quite speechless. He could only smile and nod.
I feel like this guy is even more talkative than Pan Wendi.
Fortunately, after I mastered Meditation Entering Samadhi, my Willpower power has improved, and my resistance to various noises has also been significantly enhanced.
Otherwise, along the way, I am afraid that I will eventually be unable to help but take action to shut him up.
Seeing Taxi turn around and leave, Fang Cheng then picked up two large bags and walked upstairs.
"A Cheng, did you buy so many old products?"
"Yes, Uncle Chen."
It is now the evening rush hour after get off work, and battery cars are coming one after another and parked in the corridor downstairs.
Many neighbors will greet each other and chat a few words when they meet.
Fang Cheng responded while walking upstairs.
Arriving on the 9th floor, I glanced at Iron Gate who passed by the Zhou Family who revealed the lighting.
Seeing that there were only two people in the room, Zhou Xiumei and grandma were sitting at the dining table, eating dinner in silence.
It is estimated that Police Department had a lot of cases during this period, and Uncle Zhou rarely went home when he was busy.
As for Auntie He, she still has not returned from her parents' home with her son.
It was almost the Chinese New Year, but one family seemed unusually deserted.
Fang Cheng sighed slightly.
Relatively speaking, everything is going well for my family. I hope my grandpa can be discharged from the hospital before Chinese New Year's Eve and the family can be reunited.
Click.
Fang Cheng took out the key and opened the door.
I was about to put down two packages of New Year's goods and put on my slippers.
But suddenly his eyes narrowed, and he caught a glimpse of a brand new Postcard lying on the floor at the entrance.
In the darkness, the Postcard flashed a cold luster.
When I saw a string of strange and weird text symbols written above.
Fang Cheng locked his eyes and took a deep breath.
