Chapter 29 It’s a new day
It started to rain lightly in the sky. Gu An stood in the room of the Old Baker Hotel and watched the raindrops falling outside the window. After a while, he withdrew his gaze and looked at the room where he had lived for a few days.
It had not been long, but now I felt a strange feeling. Sitting by the bed and looking at the thick quilt, Gu An thought about what had happened in the past few days.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and then Old Baker's hoarse voice said: "Yan Shuangying, you came out for dinner, I made some broth."
"Okay, I'll be out right away."
Gu An responded, stood up from the bed, glanced at the brown cowboy hat placed on the table, and didn't even think about it. Instead, he casually grabbed his hair with his hands and walked out of the room.
Climbing the wooden stairs downstairs, he walked to the dining table and sat at his seat. Gu An looked at the bowl of thick soup in front of him, which was obviously filled with more slices of meat.
Gu An smiled with some emotion. He took out a small bag of coins from his pocket and handed it to Old Baker, "Uncle Baker, please accept this money."
"Yan Shuangying, what are you doing?" Seeing Gu An take out the money bag, Old Baker not only did not accept it, but also looked at Gu An with dissatisfaction.
"Who do you think I am, Old Baker? Do I look like a money-grubber? Not only did you save my granddaughter this time, you also saved me. I couldn't thank you enough, so how could I still accept your money?"
!”
Bethea, who was sitting on the side, holding a small bowl, also looked at Gu An with a very strange look.
"Forehead……"
Being looked at by Old Baker and Bethea like this, Gu An was speechless, but he had already decided to listen to Hank's words and head south.
Before leaving, Gu An decided to repay Old Baker and Old Sheriff White's money first. However, Hank's money was not returned. However, when Gu An left the small clinic in Perfume Town, he exchanged a lot of special medicines for Hank.
As compensation.
"Public is public, private is private, Uncle Baker, if it weren't for me, you and Bethea wouldn't have encountered anyone from the Sigolan family.
You don’t blame me, I’m already very grateful, and we agreed at the beginning that we would pay it back when I have money, so you can’t let me become a person who breaks my word, right?”
Gu An looked at Old Baker sincerely, and after finishing speaking, he placed the bag of coins on the table in front of Old Baker, then lowered his head and drank the broth.
Old Baker looked at Gu An, who was eating soup seriously, with a complex expression, and then looked at the money bag in front of him. He thought about it, but in the end he laughed angrily at Gu An's inexplicable stubbornness, and reluctantly accepted the money.
Come down.
Bethea saw Old Baker smiling. Although she didn't know what happened, she also smiled and started to lower her head and continue to drink the broth from her small bowl.
After dinner, Gu An walked out of the door of the small hotel. The light rain outside had stopped, and there was a hint of coolness in the air. Gu An carefully stepped across the muddy road and walked towards the police station.
Pedestrians along the way looked surprised when they saw Gu An's black hair not covered by a cowboy hat and his handsome oriental face. They pointed at Gu An and whispered to their friends beside them.
The destruction of the Xi Gelan family is the big news recently, and Gu An, who works alone, has become the talk of everyone.
Gu An didn't pay attention to the gazes of these people, and he didn't really like the feeling of being noticed.
In the police station, Old Sergeant White was sitting down at his desk and immersed in reading the newspaper, when the door suddenly opened with a bang.
The old sheriff thought it was Hank here again, but when he raised his head, what he saw was Gu An's smiling face.
The old police chief frowned slightly, looked at Gu An and said in a deep voice: "It's you, I still remember your name, Yan Shuangying, why did you come to the police station? Surrender yourself?"
"Oh, look at what you said, Chief White, you really know how to joke. I didn't do anything bad, so why am I surrendering?" Gu An chuckled, quite a bit like Hank's original debauchery.
Look.
When the old police chief saw Gu An's appearance, he was stunned for a moment. He was thinking about how this Yan Shuangying, who was originally a little nervous when seeing him, became a little like that guy Hank?
Before the old police chief could figure it out, he saw Gu An take out a money bag from his pocket and hand it over. The old police chief looked up and saw that this money bag was exactly what he used to hold the money when he gave him the copper coins.
bag.
"You really came to pay back the money."
As he spoke, the old police chief took the money bag, shook it, opened the bag and took another look. He looked up at the smiling Gu An strangely and asked:
"I remember I gave you more than fifty copper coins. You have almost a hundred copper coins in your bag. Why do you pay me back so much?"
"Oh, Chief White has such a good memory." Gu An praised, and then said: "Although you only gave me more than fifty copper coins in the purse, you also gave me a thick coat and moccasin boots.
.”
"Oh." The old police chief responded, but he still shook his head and said, "Those are old and not worth a few copper coins at all. You'd better take back the extra money."
"You can't say that." Gu An looked at Old Sheriff White sincerely and said: "To you, it may be old clothes and shoes, but to me, it is the warmth that makes me feel like I can survive.
.”
Hearing Gu An's words, the old police chief was stunned for a moment. He nodded, opened the drawer of the table and put the bag of copper coins in. After closing the drawer, he stood up and walked to Gu An, looked at Gu An and said.
"Yan Shuangying, actually I know everything you have been through these past few days. I don't think you are a bad person, so I want to seriously warn you not to lose yourself because of temporary gains and losses."
After saying this, the old police chief patted Gu An on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead and do your own thing. Don't be an eyesore to me."
Gu An nodded, pushed open the door of the police station, waved to the old police chief, then turned and left.
On the way back to the inn, Gu An thought for a moment before opening the system's task panel and starting to check his daily tasks and random tasks.
"Daily tasks (completion of any task is completion of daily tasks):
Task 1: Do a good deed without leaving a name,
Task 2: Do a bad thing and leave a name,
Task 3: Do nothing and spend the day peacefully."
Gu An looked at the three tasks on the light screen and was silent in his heart. As long as the system is a little bit pursuing, it will not issue such tasks, right?
Especially this mission three, what the hell is it?
