Chapter 110 Xu Wenchu, who has gone mad
"Hai Zi, remember to give me this MP4 tomorrow!" Xu Wenchu was also looking at the MP4 in Zhao Hai's hand with some lingering interest.
That's it! Xu the charlatan is completely beyond saving now! Judging from his current state, he'll probably be hopelessly addicted to novels from now on!
"Okay!" Zhao Hai nodded and then returned to his car.
Deng Qiwen was driving, and Zhao Hai was watching the MP4 that he had confiscated in the back seat.
It has to be said that high school students of every era are the same; they download popular novels to MP4 players, and not only popular novels, but also many novels of the same genre.
Zhao Hai had read most of these novels!
In the apocalypse, you have a cell phone, but there's no signal. Unless you download it, you can't read novels at all.
Now Zhao Hai has an MP4 player, so he can read novels whenever he's bored on the bus.
Time flies. Zhao Hai had only read a little over a hundred chapters of the novel, and a whole morning had already passed. It has to be said that reading novels is indeed the best way to pass the time.
Xu Wenchu is truly pitiful. If he weren't a guide, he could have been like Zhao Hai, hiring someone to drive him, then comfortably lying in the back seat, leisurely reading novels. His life would have been incredibly pleasant!
At noon, while Deng Qiwen was cooking, Xu Wenchu came over.
"Xu the Charlatan, what brings you here?" Zhao Hai also put away his MP4 player.
"Fine! So that's why you were keeping this MP4 for me, you wanted to watch it yourself! How could you be so kind!" Xu Wenchu felt a surge of anger as he saw Zhao Hai leisurely reading a novel on his MP4.
"Xu the Charlatan, what are you saying? Why can't I read it? I have the MP4 player, what's wrong with me reading a novel! And why are you in such a hurry? Next time we'll get a cell phone and download the novel from the MP4 player to the phone, that way it'll be even more enjoyable to read!" Zhao Hai also chimed in.
The phone that Zhao Hai traded with Lin Yuhan last time was disassembled by Zhao Hai, who took out the magnet from it! Zhao Hai never expected that someone in the convoy would have an MP4 player.
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have taken apart those two phones.
"Is this what I'm talking about? I'm talking about how you used the excuse of keeping my MP4 safe to secretly use it to read novels!" Xu Wenchu said angrily.
"Xu the charlatan, let me correct you. I didn't secretly look at it; I looked at it openly and honestly! Besides, I was using your MP4 to read novels, so what's there to be angry about?" Zhao Hai said nonchalantly.
"Putting everything else aside, you have to lead the convoy to avoid the supernatural during the day, where would you find the time to read novels? You're not like me, I have someone driving for me during the day, so what's wrong with reading novels to relieve boredom? That MP4 is just a waste of your time during the day, why not let me listen to music and read novels at the same time!" Zhao Hai continued.
"Well, what you said does make some sense! Then I won't lead the convoy on the road tonight, and you have to give me back my MP4 tonight!" Xu Wenchu thought about it and realized that what Zhao Hai said was indeed correct!
"Xu the charlatan, are you obsessed with reading novels? You stayed up all night reading novels last night. If you stay up all night reading novels again today, even if you are a sequence transcendent, your energy won't be able to hold up! Don't let us really lead you to the weird lair tomorrow. In that case, the whole convoy will be destroyed by your hand!" Zhao Hai looked at Xu Wenchu as if he were an idiot.
"No way, you have to give me this MP4 tonight!" Xu Wenchu didn't care about anything else.
"Are you stupid? Even if I gave you the MP4, would Aunt Zhou let you keep staying up all night reading novels? Xu the charlatan, you're usually a pretty smart person, how come you didn't think of something so simple?" Zhao Hai was also speechless.
"This..." After Zhao Hai's reminder, Xu Wenchu also thought of this point.
"Here's what we'll do! Mr. Xu, you get a good night's sleep today. When you take a break with the convoy tomorrow, I'll give you this MP4 player right away. If you continue leading the convoy on the road, you can give me the MP4 player back, okay?"
When Zhao Hai said these words, he felt as if he had returned to the wonderful time of high school.
Back then, he and his high school classmates did the same thing, trying every means to use the MP4 player at off-peak times in order to gain the right to use it.
"Okay! That works too! It's settled then!" Xu Wenchu nodded in agreement.
"Okay!" Zhao Hai nodded.
"Hai Zi, Deng Qiwen's rice smells so good! It even smells better than my wife's!" Xu Wenchu said, smelling the aroma of rice coming from not far away.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai thought to himself, "This is bad!"
Of course it's delicious! He had Deng Qiwen put over a dozen slices of cured meat in this dish! How could it not be fragrant!
Zhao Hai was a little annoyed. He had just been talking to that old charlatan Xu Wenchu about MP4s and had completely forgotten about this!
Xu Wenchu's nose twitched a few more times, and his eyes involuntarily turned to the fragrant aroma wafting from Deng Qiwen's direction.
"Wait a minute..." Xu Wenchu also sensed something was wrong, his brows furrowing. "This tastes off, and it's not just the rice."
Zhao Hai's heart tightened, but he pretended to be nonchalant: "Maybe Deng Qiwen is a good cook; he can cook simple rice so well!"
"Since you've said so, Hai Zi, then I'd better stay and try Deng Qiwen's cooking. How come I never discovered he had this skill before!" Xu Wenchu murmured.
"Get out! Aunt Zhou has already prepared the meal, and you still want to come here to freeload!" Upon hearing that Xu Wenchu wanted to stay for a free meal, Zhao Hai immediately told him to get rid of him.
Just kidding! If Xu Wenchu really stayed to freeload, he wouldn't be able to enjoy the cured meat and duck all by himself! He couldn't let Xu Wenchu ruin his wonderful life.
"No, Hai Zi, you're being way too stingy! You've come here to freeload countless times! Now you won't even welcome me when I come to mooch a bowl of rice? Hai Zi, is that something a human being would do?" Hearing Zhao Hai's tone, which sounded like he was about to kick him out, Xu Wenchu immediately became unhappy.
"Captain Xu, it's not that I don't welcome you, but Deng Qiwen only cooked for the two of us. You want to come here for a free meal without even giving me a heads-up! Deng Qiwen works so hard as my driver and does so many chores for me. I can't possibly not even give him lunch, can I?" Zhao Hai rolled his eyes at Xu Wenchu.
"You're right! Let's skip it this time! Tomorrow, I'll definitely come back and have a good taste of Deng Qiwen's cooking!" Xu Wenchu said.
