Chapter 33: Video call with family back home.
Thump~
Kom fell heavily three meters away, covering his nose and eyes, groaning in pain.
Upon closer inspection, a dent had appeared in his cheek, and blood was flowing out as if it were free.
The remaining Black men were both shocked and furious.
"Oh no, this guy hurt Como."
"Brothers, kill him!"
Several burly black men angrily rushed towards Bai Chen, one of them even pulling out a dagger.
Just at this time.
bang~
A crisp sound rang out.
The black men froze instantly, raising their hands with practiced ease.
"Go ahead and kill me!"
Bai Chen held a pistol in his hand, pointed it at several black men, and asked them calmly.
Although with his strength, he could easily kill these black people without even needing to rob them.
However, this isn't a TV drama. People with guns don't have to show off by throwing punches, or even filming a cool fight scene that lasts for ten minutes or more.
"No, brother, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."
Regardless of nationality, when pointed at by the "equalizer of all beings," the rhetoric used to beg for mercy is pretty much the same.
The remaining Black men looked terrified, raising their hands and begging for mercy.
"Kneel down!"
Bai Chen gave a low shout.
Thump~
Several black men immediately knelt down in a row, bowed their heads and raised their hands to beg for mercy.
Upon seeing this.
Bai Chen nodded in satisfaction, then stepped forward, raised his right foot, and kicked each of the black men.
Thump~ thump~
Several black men were kicked in the face, and they flew backward in a kneeling position.
After falling to the ground, they all covered their faces and cried out in pain.
When they recovered and looked up again, Bai Chen was no longer in the square.
.....
Here.
Bai Chen has returned to his rented room.
He sat cross-legged on the bed, practicing the static stance of the health-preserving standing meditation, breathing rhythmically.
Just now in the square, he almost lost control and shot those black men.
After careful consideration, he abandoned his plan to kill.
Although gunfights happen every day in the United States, they almost always occur at night.
Even during the day, and in a public square with surveillance cameras, if a murder occurs, the police in the United States will still investigate.
Bai Chen didn't want to have to run away again right after moving in.
So in the end, they decided to kick each of those black men once, breaking their noses, and that would be the end of it.
...
The following days.
Every day during the day, Bai Chen goes to Fies Park to practice the dynamic stance of the health-preserving stance exercise.
Before dark, I would return to my rented room to practice meditation.
With the help of the Nine Dragons Beast Medicine, his progress in the Flesh Refining Realm was as rapid as a rocket.
This efficiency is even several times faster than when I was practicing the Skin Realm.
Ten days at most.
Bai Chen was confident that he could cultivate the Flesh Refining Realm to perfection, and then travel back to the Martial Refining Continent to have Xuanqing Daoist teach him the Bone Refining Realm.
.....
That day.
After Bai Chen finished his cultivation, his phone rang.
Ring ring~
I picked up my phone and saw that the caller ID was my uncle.
Hmm? Could it be that something's happened back home again?
Bai Chen's heart tightened, and he quickly answered the phone, only to hear his uncle speak on the other end.
"Ah Chen, Mu Yan's application for a private hospital room has been approved."
The uncle on the other end of the phone sounded very happy.
It turns out it's good news!
Bai Chen breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face. He said, "It's good that it passed. Now that we have a private room, it's much more convenient, isn't it?"
"Of course, there's a separate toilet here, so when Mu Yan takes a bath, she won't have to be rushed and can take her time."
The old man on the other end of the phone said with emotion, "The nurses' service has improved so much; they always ask how I am doing."
"Oh right, your brother Tianling came back from his job and got me a smartphone. He also downloaded some international...yes, the international version of Xunlei, saying that way I can video chat with you..."
"Dad, let me teach you how to do it. First, you need to add Ah Chen..."
The sound coming from the phone was sometimes loud and sometimes soft, and it was accompanied by the voice of a middle-aged man.
People who frequently talk to the elderly know that this is caused by speaking on speakerphone while fiddling with the phone and talking at the same time.
A short while later.
Bai Chen's phone rang, indicating that someone had added him as a WeChat friend.
The username is 【宁静致远...】 and the profile picture is an old man taking a selfie with his phone.
After passing.
The messaging software then beeped with a video chat notification.
"Uncle, I'll hang up now and we can video chat." Bai Chen hung up the phone and then connected to the video call.
After a slight pause, a huge old man took up the entire screen.
"Hey, hey, hey, it's connected! I can see Ah Chen!" The eldest brother laughed, his face crinkling with wrinkles.
Then.
The uncle quickly handed over the phone, "Muyan, quick, check on your father."
However, Bai Chen didn't see his son; he could only see a hospital bed and the floor at one end of the ward.
"Dad, you need to point the camera at Mu Yan, yes, right here..." Bai Tianling's voice rang out.
...
I watched as Tianling and his uncle fiddled with their phones on the screen.
Bai Chen had a smile on his face.
He grew up in his uncle's house. His uncle's family had two children: a son named Bai Tianling and a daughter named Bai Wanting.
It's worth mentioning that Bai Chen's family doesn't have a family tree, so they don't distinguish between generations. When naming someone, they just choose whatever sounds nice.
When Bai Chen was at his uncle's house, both his cousin Bai Tianling and his cousin Bai Wanting treated the three of them very well.
There's a saying that goes, "A bad kid is always a bad kid because of a bad parent."
on the contrary.
Given the kindness of his uncle's family, it's natural that the two children also have kind hearts.
Bai Chen still remembers being bullied by other children at school because his parents had both passed away.
It was Tianling who, along with a few friends, beat up the kid who was bullying him.
The only downside was that Tianling insisted on making Bai Chen urinate on the bully.
Bai Chen was too timid to do it at the time, and then he was beaten up by Tianling.
Of course, even though he was beaten up by Tianling, he didn't hate Tianling. Instead, he was grateful to him.
Because of Tianling's personality at the time, he was the kind of person who thought, "Only I can bully my younger brother, but no one else can bully him."
"Daddy~"
Just as Bai Chen was lost in his memories, a clear and childlike voice rang out from the phone screen.
The camera panned down to the hospital bed.
A pale-faced child with shaved head appeared on the phone screen.
Although she is only four or five years old, she looks a bit old because of long-term dialysis and the torment of illness.
"Mu Yan!"
Looking at his son's appearance, Bai Chen couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart and softly called out to him.
