Chapter 428 Welcome to the Real World, Dad
“Ave Maria grazia ricevuta per la mia famiglia,
Con risentito con un'amorevole divino amen.”
The Maybach sped along the empty elevated road, causing a splash of water half as tall as a man.
Chu Tianjiao looked at the empty road with no cars and water, and there was a little confusion in his eyes. No one was walking on such a spacious road. Could it be that "Please detour due to construction on the road ahead"?
“Grazie chiedo a te o signore divino,
In questo giorno di grazia prego per te.”
Low chanting came from the speakers. Chu Zihang was proficient in English, but he still couldn't understand the lyrics.
Because this is Italian.
The high-pitched female voice that followed seemed to turn on a memory switch, reminding him of the information related to this song.
If I remember correctly, Master Xia’s cell phone ringtone seems to be this.
Seeing through the rearview mirror that his son's iceberg face was showing signs of melting, Chu Tianjiao struck while the iron was hot: "How does it feel? The young people who trained with me said that this is Zhang Shenzhuan, and that singer named Zhou is very popular among young people. , I heard it’s about motherly love and fatherly love.”
Hearing a certain word that had been missing for many years, Chu Zihang's eyes moved slightly: "My classmates in school like to hear it very much."
"The cool morning dew wets the black dress
The stone road is foggy, my father is complaining
The helpless realization can only become more cruel
Everything is for the road to the church..."
The fusion of retro piano and Italian opera, supplemented by out-of-the-box tunes and rap style, gives people a refreshing feeling. With Chu Tianjiao's music appreciation ability, he can naturally hear the good and bad as well as the cross-era innovations, but at this moment he still has to Pretending not to understand:
"This song sounds weird, like I'm attending a funeral."
Chu Zihang's eyes were always staring at the increasingly dark night outside the window, and his silence seemed to freeze the space he was in.
He had read some experts' interpretation of the song on the Internet, about giving up freedom and ideas in order to become a master, leaving only loneliness behind the glory, and the happy and innocent days of the past no longer exist and cannot be repeated.
It looks very similar to the driver in front of me.
And when the other party played this song in this situation, he probably had some deep meaning.
The song continued, and the discussion about "father" continued, but the father and son in the car fell into silent silence again.
"What a ghost song, it doesn't make any sense to listen to it. It gave me goosebumps so late at night!" After the first chorus, the female voice murmured plaintively, Chu Tianjiao couldn't help but complain, but Still didn't turn off the music that gave him goosebumps.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Five gunshots seemed to break the oppressive atmosphere in the carriage.
"Is the air conditioner in the back seat hot enough?" Chu Tianjiao felt a chill for no reason. He pressed his hand on the temperature control button of the air conditioner, waiting for the boy in the back to give the order.
Chu Zihang finally moved his gaze from the window to the front, looked at the man who peeked at him from time to time in the rearview mirror, and shook his head slightly:
"I won't be a driver anymore. I need to change my speaking habits."
After joining a state-owned enterprise, with Master Xia's relationship, he no longer had to pretend to be so groveling.
Whether he was pretending or was really bent by the unknown secret, Chu Zihang still hoped that he could face everyone with his head held high.
Because once upon a time, this man was also an unparalleled hero second only to the Monkey King in his mind.
"Haha, don't worry, I will definitely change." Chu Tianjiao subconsciously raised his hand and scratched his head, sneering like a father who is perfunctory with his children.
When Chu Zihang saw his appearance, for some reason he thought of the scene when he patted his chest and promised that he would take him and his mother home, and a fog-like ambiguity flashed in his eyes.
The conversation was interrupted again, leaving only plaintive tunes and low singing.
"Loneliness began to ferment, and it kept laughing at me. The memories gradually faded away. The once innocent pictures appeared cruelly and tenderly. The fragile time is up..."
The music and lyrics that match the occasion are like a key, opening the memories sealed in the hearts of the father and son.
In that small shabby house of more than ten square meters, a simple and happy picture of a family of three was recorded.
"How's your mom doing?"
It was still Chu Tianjiao who was the first to break the silence.
"I recently bought a cat. I spend time with the cat in the morning, go shopping with a few aunties in the afternoon, and read books and watch TV shows or video chat with Xia Mi in the evening."
"Didn't you go to the bar to drink with her best friends?" Chu Tianjiao was curious. He knew that Su Xiaoyan had a drinking habit after the divorce and had not been able to change it.
"Very little. Hei Tan, Sheriff and Xiao Youzi hate the smell of alcohol. They usually only drink when they go out to attend my wife's party."
Speaking of his mother's recent changes, Chu Zihang finally had a smile in his eyes.
He has known that drinking alcohol is a bad habit a long time ago, but his mother is too lonely alone, and his stepfather is busy socializing every day and has no time to spend with her. He is happy to let her enjoy herself like this. Anyway, the family has money and no matter whether she is ill or not. It doesn't matter.
Things are different now. After the release of "Legend of the Japanese Dragon Slayer", Master Xia packaged and released the follow-up films of "Return to the Cat" at once. While restoring his reputation, he also got his mother's promise to teach Xia Mi and Eri. Three girls, Yi and Nuonuo, danced.
Mom who has something to do can live a fulfilling life every day. The dream world fills the spiritual void, and there is no need to get drunk to spend empty nights.
"Very good." When Chu Tianjiao heard this, he didn't know how he felt, but he still smiled and warned: "Take good care of your mother, and don't forget her hot milk every night."
"..." Chu Zihang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he said nothing and just nodded lightly.
"By the way, what is that guy Xia Di doing recently? I haven't seen him for a while, and I always feel like I'm holding back something bad."
"..." Chu Zihang looked at the dark rainy night outside the window, and a group of particularly strange auras appeared in his perception. He then looked at the unaware man in front of him and said in a calm tone:
"He went abroad to find inspiration and material for a new book."
"This guy hasn't even finished writing Gui Chuu Deng and The Prince yet. He's really in a hurry." Driver Chu complained, raising his hand to turn off the increasingly weird music.
But what surprised him and even horrified him was that after the sound was turned off, there was still a sound. It was no longer the unique screams and chants in Italian, but a sneer as deep as a bell.
The laughter seemed to go straight to the depths of his soul, stirring up the dragon's blood in his body, and the sense of crisis was frantically warning him.
His eyes quickly glanced at the deserted viaduct, and he took out his mobile phone and took a look. The signal was zero, and the car stereo was tuned to the radio, but the deep laughter was still there.
Veins popped out in the big hands that grabbed the steering wheel, and green veins jumped like thin snakes in the corners of his eyes. Chu Tianjiao's face, which had always been three-pointed contemptuous, three-pointed uninhibited and four-pointed heartless, suddenly became solemn. It can drip water.
In the back seat, Chu Zihang clearly saw the change in his good-for-nothing father's face through the rearview mirror, and felt a little novelty in his heart. This was the first time he caught an emotion called fear in a man's eyes.
You know, even when he had a fever and almost burned out his brain when he was a child, the good-for-nothing dad had never been so scared.
"Ah haha, there seems to be something wrong with the stereo." Chu Tianjiao raised his hand and took out a pen from the storage compartment. He inserted it directly into the stereo and used physical means to forcefully pause the increasingly weird BGM.
However, before he could make the next move, there was another movement outside the car window.
"Knock knock——"
Chu Tianjiao turned around and saw that Maybach had been surrounded by a black shadow.
The car window glass was full of water droplets, and only some blurry outlines could be seen, but he was sure that those black shadows had absolutely nothing to do with people!
The height of those black figures is already more than three meters, and the extraordinarily protruding heads and necks, the eyes like red-gold lanterns, and the clatter of hooves like horses when running wildly all indicate that these things are most likely to be someone's. An unknown, extremely dangerous dragon-blooded creature!
Damn it, it is indeed a country of the dead!
What does Xia Di do for food? He doesn’t even know if there is a Nibelung hidden in the base camp!
No, is this what I'm looking for? !
Damn it, why is it at this time? !
Chu Tianjiao's face was extremely ugly. He pressed the steering wheel with one hand and locked the door lock, then turned around and tried to pull Chu Zihang behind him into the passenger seat.
But just as he turned his head, he was surprised to find that the expression on his Bingshan son's face was a little strange.
It was not like the panic of encountering a supernatural event, but more like the surprise when something went beyond one's expectations.
For example, in a home with security measures comparable to those of the Pentagon, a thief with dyed yellow hair was found using wire to pry open the safe.
Could it be that guy Xia Di did it again?
Seeing his calm look and having fastened his seat belt early, Chu Tianjiao temporarily gave up the idea of pulling him to the front row and turned his attention to the front again. He stepped on the accelerator and the Maybach roared forward. go.
"Son, do you know what these are?"
The speed of the things outside the car window was too terrifying. At this time, the speed of 230 kilometers per hour was unable to get rid of them, and they were still following the Maybach.
Before confirming what these things were or who sent them, Chu Tianjiao did not dare to let down his guard and loudly asked Chu Zihang behind him.
When he saw "Legend of the Japanese Dragon", he knew that his son was taken away by that guy Xia Di to do something great. But after all, the movie was not reality and had elements of artistic processing. He didn't know about his little iceberg. How high is your participation in Operation Dragon Slaying?
Although he is a dragon-slaying warrior fighting on the front line, Chu Tianjiao has an extraordinary intuition. He can judge whether the opponent is strong or not, whether he has seen blood, and whether he is a butcher who kills without blinking an eye...
Just like when he met Fingel for the first time, he noticed the other person's extraordinary character at a glance and accurately deduced that he was from Kassel College.
But when it comes to his own son, this skill doesn't seem to be very effective. I don't know how that guy Xia Di taught him. His son, who was originally a bit sharp, actually learned to hide the sword in the sheath early. He couldn't tell the difference at all. .
Chu Zihang, who was in the back seat, had one hand in his pocket and the other hand holding the seat belt. There was no panic on his face. His eyes met those reflected in the rearview mirror and he said in a calm tone:
"The thing outside is called Deadpool, a thing without human rights."
Facing Chu Tianjiao's true gaze, the iceberg boy continued: "Although those things are not human and are not protected by the law, I still recommend that you drive normally and don't try to knock them away. The road is too slippery on rainy days. Once the tire If it skids and rolls over, we will be eaten without even our bones.”
"Who told you this?!" Chu Tianjiao raised his speed to the extreme. The roar of the Maybach engine at a speed of 275 kilometers per hour was deafening, like a black beast smashing through the torrential rain curtain.
This should have been a very shocking scene, but being chased by countless black shadows, it looked a little embarrassed, like a seriously injured black panther trying to escape pursuit.
"I've seen this kind of thing in Japan." Chu Zihang's eyes flashed with memories, as if the adventure four months ago was still vivid in his mind: "We were fishing at the beach, and suddenly a bunch of people with human bodies and snake tails rushed up from the sea. Monsters, they are as tall as a story and so strong that they can lift cars parked on the roadside."
"Then how do you deal with them?" Chu Tianjiao controlled the steering wheel with one hand to ensure that the car was traveling in the right direction, and grabbed the dark umbrella inserted in the door with the other hand.
He had some suspicion that this was Xia Di's conspiracy to force him to reveal his most important secret.
But he has no evidence.
He could only wait for Chu Zihang to give him an answer.
If Chu Zihang's answer is to solve it himself, then he will take action without hesitation. If it is to call Xia Di to come out to save the situation, then he will persist a little longer to see if Xia Di is secretly observing.
Although the idea is good, the reality is cruel.
The moment he spoke, the Maybach's two-ton body suddenly shook. Chu Tianjiao grabbed the steering wheel with both hands and pulled the car back from the edge of losing control.
"Damn it, these guys aren't going to stay alive?!" Chu Tianjiao cursed in a low voice. Chu Tianjiao tried his best to stabilize the car. Things outside had already started to crash into the car. Although it was not a classic American stop, this kind of bull collision was It is more likely to cause the wheels to slip and roll over.
It can't be delayed any longer!
Chu Tianjiao's eyes flashed with a fierce look, he reached out and grabbed the handle of the umbrella on the car door and pulled it to the right, pulling out a sharp blade as white as moonlight.
"Sorry son, I still got you involved."
The man in the driver's seat licked his lips, and a look of fanaticism appeared on his handsome and slightly weathered face: "Although Dad, I have never been like a man, I am like a useless loser. , but in fact, many times I want to..."
Perhaps it was because the character had been engraved into his bones. In such a life-and-death situation, Chu Tianjiao still couldn't help but want to say something to calm himself or his son's emotions.
But while the driver was a talker, the passenger in the back seat was a taciturn activist.
Without even waiting for the good-for-nothing old man to finish his words, Chu Zihang ripped open the seat belt that bound his chest, took out his hand from his pocket, and brought up a white streak that was like a thunderbolt.
With a sound of "Tsk--", the silver-white blade penetrated the Maybach's door easily. The blade stuck out of the car and stabbed the black shadow clinging to the right side of the car.
Then, he pressed the window glass with his left hand, and the suffocatingly rich fire elements gathered in his palm. The terrifying high temperature melted a big hole in the Maybach's specially made window glass in an instant.
The howling cold wind and icy rain tried to penetrate through the holes in the car window, but they melted into hot steam when they came into contact with the flaming palm.
"When it's so dangerous, don't talk nonsense."
In Chu Zihang's eyes, golden pupils that were as bright as the bright sun ignited, and the Jun Yan in his hand that was ready to go suddenly exploded, and the violent explosion enveloped all the black shadows surrounding him.
Amid the miserable wail, the heavy Maybach couldn't help but sway.
Chu Tianjiao stared at the rearview mirror in amazement. The wild gesture with a knife in one hand and an explosion in the other was beyond description.
Why the hell is he more handsome than he imagined? !
If he weren't running wildly on the viaduct now, Chu Tianjiao would have wanted to rub his eyes to see if he was having hallucinations/spiritual vision.
rear,
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the man's astonished expression, and Chu Zihang couldn't help but curl his lips:
"Welcome to the real world, Dad."
