Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 364: True and False Life

Dugu Han is actually a very interesting person. This tomboy is not aloof at all, she just looks aloof. She is even less aloof than Pingyang and Tang Baoer.

After all, she is a person who started writing after reading a few novels. It would be impossible for her to do such a thing if she did not have rich inner thoughts. And the reason why people think that this girl is aloof is simply because she comes from a top wealthy family, the kind that even Princess Pingyang... no, it should be the kind of wealthy family that even the crown prince of the current dynasty would give some face to. In addition, she was born with a cold face, which gives people the feeling that she is aloof.

Of course, this is also related to her weird temper. Her obsessive-compulsive disorder absolutely cannot be touched by anyone. Who wouldn't shake their head when seeing this?

"The next round of investment in the medical school is still huge. You can't always let Dr. Sun take the lead. He is over 70 years old. It's about time for you to start taking charge of the work."

That morning, on his way to work, Xia Lin met Dong Niang who was about to go out shopping, and he just happened to educate her there.

"Give me money, I have no money."

Obviously, Xia Lin's teaching was ineffective: "How much do you want? I don't have much. I was fined a year's salary for committing adultery in a nunnery. Now I am living a tight life."

It was really hard for Dong Niang not to laugh when she heard him talk. Even though she had a dead face, she couldn't help but say, "You deserve it."

"It's not a question of whether you deserve it or not. You're still young and don't understand." Xia Lin took out a bag of loose change and said, "I'm really out of money. I only have twenty taels left. I'll give it all to you."

"Okay, go to the town entrance and beg for food. You should be able to get a lot."

"I can sell you to a brothel and get a lot of money." Xia Lin patted Dong Niang on the buttocks: "Go, remember to help Dr. Sun share some of the burden."

Xia Lin now had only three copper coins left on him, which he won playing poker with the kids yesterday evening. It seemed that he would have to eat and drink for free in the town for a while.

"Give me five steamed buns and a bowl of rice porridge." Xia Lin sat down in a shop and shook off the rain. "Business is not good today."

The boss of the bun shop sighed, "It's raining, it's always like this when Qingming Festival is approaching. Are you full today? I'll give you two more buns."

"Let me make it clear first, I'm out of money."

"Okay, okay, sir, you are just slapping me in the face by saying this." The bun shop owner served Xia Lin buns and porridge: "Please enjoy, sir."

"You haven't been back to your hometown to take a look in all these years?"

This boss is a victim of the locust plague who came from Henan Province. He has never left in these years. Instead, he has settled down here. It seems that his son even got married last year. Now he is making pottery in a porcelain factory. His life is pretty good.

"Why go back? My brothers and sisters are all gone, and I don't know whether they are dead or alive. It's better to run a small stall here and make more money while I can still move. My grandson will grow up and need to go to school."

"Well, if it doesn't work, just let him learn carpentry. Good carpenters are in short supply now. Even 20 taels of silver a month won't hire a master carpenter." Xia Lin sighed, "Just studying and thinking of becoming a superior person, times have changed, old man."

Just as he was sitting there chatting with the owner of the steamed bun shop, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a group of people walking in a hurry. The way they walked was very stylish, just like the way the Jinyiwei in the movies walked.

Judging from their attire, these people should be servants of some wealthy family. This made Xia Lin stand up straight and take a closer look. Then he finished the porridge in a few gulps, stuffed the remaining bun into his mouth, and followed the group of people from a distance.

Reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance are Lord Xia's forte. He easily saw where this group of people were going, and it was none other than the villa where Dugu Han lived.

"My goodness, why are you calling so many well-dressed men to your house so early in the morning? Are you from Dongjiao?"

Xia Lin muttered to himself for a while, then turned back to the government office. As soon as he entered the gate, he shouted, "Luo Shixin, come quickly."

"I'm coming." Luo Shixin walked out quickly: "Master, are you calling me?"

"Come."

After saying that, Xia Lin brought Luo Shixin to the outside of Dugu Han's house, pointed inside and said, "Have you selected all the people under your command?"

"That's about it. There are eighteen of them in total. They are all very smart, sir."

"Okay." Xia Lin nodded: "Keep a close eye on the people from this family. Tell me immediately if they make any moves."

"It's a small matter, but this is very troublesome. How about I rush in and turn the world upside down?"

"Get lost." Xia Lin cursed, "You BYD only know how to fight and kill. What is the name I asked you to establish? You can name it yourself."

"The Special Agents Department."

"Okay, as long as you know it." Xia Lin nodded: "Remember, your job is to collect intelligence and counter-collect intelligence. Put away your murderous knife. If you really can't help it, you will have to kill someone in the future."

“Hehe…Okay!”

"By the way, when will your fifth brother come?"

"Fifth brother said that his wife has been ill these days and may not make it anymore. He will come with his son after sending his wife away."

"Okay, fine." Xia Lin pointed at the door and said, "Keep an eye on it!"

"Yes!" At this moment in the house, Dugu Han was sitting in the seat of honor, assigning tasks in a cold voice. Didn't she discover before that Xia Lin's huge income was unaccounted for? If he secretly invested without her, she didn't know how much she would lose.

So this group of people came here to secretly investigate how many of Xia Lin’s industries are hidden underwater.

After assigning the tasks, she sent everyone away, then returned to her room, picked up a pen and began writing her first novel.

As she was writing, she couldn't write anymore and was stuck.

And what was her writer's block? In fact, she was a little confused about the word "power" that she wanted to describe. She didn't know how to express this word and what method to use to describe it.

She knew that she actually had power, and she also knew the specific forms of the emperor's power, but when it came to refining it in the book, she couldn't do it.

It is very painful to be stuck in a writer's block. Those who have never experienced it don't know. It is really painful to write a title for a whole day with a cup of tea and a pack of cigarettes. No matter how awesome Dugu Han is, she is only a human being. She doesn't have a cell phone on her, so she has no place to copy even if she wants to.

So she set out to find Princess Pingyang when it was almost noon, and asked her how the power should be described. Princess Pingyang's answer was to stretch out her hand and thousands of troops would come out in response.

But Dugu Han felt that this explanation was not bad, but it seemed to be a little off. So she went to find the third prince again. The third prince was drinking at the moment and said dizzily: "Power, the power of life and death, the country and the beauty, isn't this all about power?"

There was nothing wrong with the answer, but Dugu Han still felt it was too simple. She finally stopped outside the county government office with her hands behind her back. After hesitating for a long time, she cleared her throat and walked forward, but was stopped by the guards at the door: "Sorry, it's lunch break, the government office is not seeing guests."

"I'm here to look for Xia Daosheng, the county magistrate of Xia. Just say that the Patriarch of the Dugu family wants to see you."

"You'd better wait even if you are the king of heaven. The master is taking a lunch break."

Dugu Han sneered: "Great, great, great, great authority."

After saying that, she walked back angrily, but just as she passed an alley, she heard a voice in her ear: "Don't play chess, old man. You are old, and you are playing a game of five copper coins and you still steal the pieces?"

Dugu Han followed the sound and saw a big banyan tree behind the yamen. There was a shed under the banyan tree. Inside the shed were some people sitting in groups of three or five. Some of them were playing chess and some were playing cards. Even the rain could not dampen their enthusiasm.

One of the people squatting on the wet stool was Xia Lin. He was playing chess with the old man. There were hundreds of dollars piled in front of him. Opposite him, there were old men lined up, some of them were dejected and some were eager to try.

"General, General, Lao Li, you can't do it. Change it. Save some money to buy some wine, you lousy chess player."

Dugu Han walked over and looked behind the crowd for a while, and found that this regional hegemon was defrauding the old man of his pension money. This guy...

"Sir Xia, isn't he taking a lunch break? How come you are so energetic?"

No one dared to play with Xia Lin at this moment, and he was about to close his stall and go back to take a nap. He was collecting coins when he heard someone tickling him.

When he looked up, he saw Dugu Han standing there holding an umbrella, looking at him with a half-smile: "Master Xia is so elegant."

"Hey, Xiaoqiu is here." Xia Lin put the copper coins into his pocket: "Wait a minute, I'll come over after I collect the money."

The call of "Xiao Qiu" made Dugu Han frown. It would be better if you called me Mu Qiu. Why did you call me Xiao Qiu? It's disgusting.

After a while, Xia Lin came to Dugu Han with a bag of copper coins. "Brother Muqiu came to visit suddenly. What's the matter? Do you want to fight with me? Then I have to open the nightmare robot."

Dugu Han didn't understand what the nightmare robot meant. He just felt that this person was very jumpy and not calm at all. He didn't know how such a person could become one of the most outstanding heroes in the world.

"Are you robbing those old people of their money?"

"Look at how harsh your words are. You should admit defeat. I will come here today to challenge them. Five cents a round!"

Five cents...

What does five cents mean? It means that when Dugu Han saw her on the road, he was unwilling to bend down to pick up the money, because she had already earned five taels of silver by just bending down.

This guy is really a rare gem in the world, brave enough to cheat an old man in the rain for five cents.

"I came here to ask you something."

"Go on, please go on. If Brother Muqiu asks for your advice, I will certainly tell you everything I know."

"Don't call me brother, I'm the same age as you."

"Mine is December, what about you?"

Xia Lin's words choked Dugu Han to death, because she was born in August, but Xia Lin was obviously not born in December. His birthday is February 2nd. He was just talking nonsense.

"Forget it, you can call me whatever you want." Dugu Han pursed his lips, then raised his head and asked, "I just want to ask you, if you want to describe the word 'power' in a concise and powerful way, how would it be?"
