Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42: Forty-two Chapters: Encounter with Exotic Flowers

Not long after Lu Hao and Su Jin’s house was sold, Mr. Su and Mrs. Su’s house, as well as the houses of Su Jin’s aunt and uncle-in-law, were also sold in succession. Thus, the family decided to choose a suitable day to move to Su Jin’s maternal grandparents’ house.

These days, Lu Guanhai also frequently visited Su Jin’s maternal grandparents’ house to see Su Xiangzhe, so he had already become very familiar with the whole family.

Especially after meeting Lu Hao’s master, Nie Qing, he felt that his world had suddenly become much more colorful: for tea drinking, he had a companion; for playing chess, he had a companion; for playing Go, he had a companion; for watching TV, well, he accompanied Nie Qing; and when it came to spending money, it was all taught to him by Su Jin’s mother, Lin Tianhui.

At that time, Su Jin did not ask for Lu Guanhai’s bank card. She thought it was time for Lu Guanhai to buy some things for himself, so when Lin Tianhui, Lin Tianzhen, and Huang Yunxiang went shopping together, there was not only Nie Qing but also Lu Guanhai joining them.

Lu Guanhai felt that he had covered all the shopping for his life in these few days, but the gains were quite substantial. He bought a lot of tea he liked and several collectible sets of chess and Go.

Once penniless, Nie Qing now had some money, though it was all given by Lu Hao. He had decided to wait until Lu Hao was done with this “crazy hoarding phase” to teach him everything he knew, so taking some tuition fees in advance seemed only right.

Lu Hao did not yet know that the money he had given Nie Qing, allowing him to spend freely, was already considered as his own tuition fee.

He was now, along with Su Jin, inspecting the remaining three vehicles at Ban Xiaobo’s place.

Ban Xiaobo’s skills were indisputable, and there was nothing wrong with the remaining three vehicles. Altogether, including the four vehicles and the customizations, the total was 6 million yuan, which was a bit cheaper than what Su Jin had budgeted.

The four impressive armored vehicles parked in Ban Xiaobo’s garage made Su Jin feel more and more that the money was well spent.

The garage wasn’t very large and was outdoors. Lu Hao had inquired from Ban Xiaobo: only the repair area had surveillance, while the parking area did not.

Ban Xiaobo thought Lu Hao was worried about the safety of the vehicles parked there, but when Lu Hao asked for the keys to the four vehicles, saying he would bring people over to pick them up that night, he told Ban Xiaobo there was no need for him to keep guarding the place.

Remembering that there was a celebration party for him tonight, specially prepared by the garage owner to celebrate his big sale, Ban Xiaobo didn’t insist. Besides, he could see that Lu Hao didn’t want him to stick around, so he decided not to crowd the scene.

At nightfall, Nie Qing, treading lightly, followed Lu Hao and Su Jin into Ban Xiaobo’s garage.

“Uncle Nie, what do you think, can it work?” Su Jin whispered.

“I think it can, just be quick,” he replied.

It turned out that Lu Hao and Su Jin had already discussed this matter with Nie Qing. Since Nie Qing could apply the Blinding Method to an entire mountain, a small parking lot was certainly not a problem. Nie Qing agreed without hesitation; after freeloading on his disciple for so long, it was time he contributed.

Ban Xiaobo was right; no one stayed to watch the garage at night, but since the parking area was an open space, pedestrians occasionally passed by. Therefore, Su Jin asked Nie Qing to use the Blinding Method so that passersby wouldn’t see her placing the vehicles into “Space.”

As it turned out, Nie Qing’s Blinding Method had reached a level where neither gods nor ghosts could detect it; passersby didn’t notice anything unusual about the area.

At that moment, a Teddy dog led by its owner passed by. Normally calm, the Teddy suddenly began barking loudly towards the parking lot. The owner thought there might be a danger but turning her head and seeing two men and a woman walking out of the parking lot empty-handed, all looking quite extraordinary, she quietly scolded the Teddy and told it to stop barking.

“That was close, we were almost discovered by a dog,” Nie Qing said, patting his chest with relief.

“You did great, Uncle Nie, we’ve got it all sorted out now, thank you~” Su Jin was delighted, holding Lu Hao’s hand and swinging it jovially, Lu Hao did nothing to stop her, letting her continue…

Teasing the dog, ah~~ Nie Qing covered his face; he had learned a lot from watching TV lately, including some trendy phrases.

“Brother Lu,”

Suddenly, a crisp voice reached the ears of the trio, seemingly calling for Lu Hao.
