Using the MC system to pretend spiritual revival

Chapter 43 Zhang's Noodle House
Two police cars were driving one after the other on the road leading to the old town on the outskirts of the city.

The mud and gravel in the potholes on the road splashed onto the license plate as the wheels rolled.

In the open back seat of the car, Li Qingfeng's messy sideburns had been trimmed, and he had changed into a suit and shirt, the same style as a police officer's office.

It loses some of its simplicity and adds a touch of sophistication.

At this moment, he was fiddling with a mobile phone with his head down. This was bought for him by Tang Guodong before he left, to be used for communication when necessary.

He had just called Lao Tang, and the problem had been solved, and he even got a lot of discounts.

At the same time, he has also brought his wife and daughter back home, and the family is having a dinner at the hotel to celebrate.

Finally, he invited Li Qingfeng to celebrate together, but he declined on the grounds that he was currently busy.

I put down my phone out of boredom and felt that this world is really strange. Troublesome things can become simple, and simple things can become troublesome.

It all depends on one’s thoughts.

I watched the scenery outside the car window fly by. From the bright lights and neon lights everywhere, it turned into a dead silence and dilapidated ruins. It felt like the car had been driving for a long time.

"Officer Li, how long do we have to go? It feels like the surroundings are getting more and more dilapidated, just like they were more than a decade ago."

The police officer who was called turned his head from the front passenger seat.

It was Xiao Li who had received him together with the old policeman Zhou Zhi.

"Master Li, there's no need to be so formal. Just call me Little Li. Um...according to the timetable, we should be there in about ten minutes. The roads around here are difficult to navigate, so we have to take a detour, so it will be a bit slow."

"This area was like this 20 years ago, but due to the shift in development, it's gone from being in the city to being a suburb. Not many people live here anymore, just the elderly and the homeless."

As he said this, the young police officer sighed with a look of regret.

"I remember going to school nearby when I was little. Back then, this place was a proper city center. But now it's deserted, and naturally, there are no businesses operating. It's getting worse day by day..."

Hearing Xiao Li's sigh, Li Qingfeng felt a little touched.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar low-rise buildings outside the car window, he couldn't help but recall his childhood.

I was here before, and it seemed much more prosperous then.

The rest of the journey was spent in casual chat between him and Xiao Li.

Soon, two police cars drove into a large residential area.

The community as a whole looks like a Chinese character "口" spread out on the ground, with an entrance for cars on each of the north-south sides.

After driving into the community, there are some small squares and warehouses in the center, which also look messy and lack repair.

Li Qingfeng turned his head and looked at the buildings surrounding him, feeling very novel.

Xiao Li standing by also sighed.

"This type of building, which resembles a tube-shaped building, is rare nowadays, but it was quite popular 10 or 20 years ago."

The first and second floors of the buildings in the entire community are all shops, and there are stairs extending outside the walls.

The stairs lead directly to the terrace, where the residence is located.

At this time, due to the detour, we spent a lot of time on the road, and it was already noon.

The sun was high overhead, and the aroma of food was already wafting from some food shops on the first floor of the community.

Xiao Li, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but sniff and felt his saliva was a little overflowing.

"Master Li, it's noon already. Are you hungry? This smells delicious. I'll go buy you some food."

Hearing him say this, Li Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he seemed to have not eaten for several days.

Thinking of the master's teachings before going down the mountain, he was about to nod, but shook his head again.

"Forget it, that's not necessary. Call the others and let's go in and eat together."

Afterwards, Li Qingfeng was the first to get out of the car, and the people in the other police car also came to the door of the restaurant at Li's invitation.

Before entering the door, I looked up at the iron sign, and a few large words written in black oil paint jumped out at me.

Zhang's Noodle House

When everyone arrived, a group of seven people walked into the noodle shop in a large group.

Looking around, the furnishings in the store looked old, but surprisingly clean.

The interior of the store is antique and looks quite elegant.

The sudden arrival of this group of people also scared the old man who came out of the kitchen because of the noise.

He had mottled white hair, a hunched body and a face full of wrinkles.

Seeing a group of people in police uniforms walking into the store, she quickly wiped her hands on her floral apron and stumbled around the counter to greet them.

At this time, everyone who entered the store had already found a seat and sat down. Seeing the old woman walking over with a panicked look on her face, Xiao Li, who was the talkative one, hurriedly greeted her.

"Don't be nervous, old man. We are just hungry and came in to have a meal. We will leave soon after the meal. We have tasks to do."

The old man stopped when he heard this, and looked at the young man in front of him with a smile that did not seem fake, and he felt relieved a little.

A kind and gentle smile appeared on his old face again, and he asked in a slightly hoarse voice.

"Comrades, what would you like to eat? My shop has plain noodles, hand-rolled noodles, and freshly made dumplings."

The few people here also communicated with each other and quickly ordered the food they wanted.

The old man wrote down the ordered items in a small notebook, then turned around and went back to the kitchen to get busy.

It was very boring while waiting, and Xiao Li, who was sitting next to Li Qingfeng, couldn't help but start a conversation.

"Master Li, what do you think we should do with this operation? I read in the information that those families causing trouble are quite troublesome, and... there are quite a few of them..."

Hearing the distress in his words, Li Qingfeng didn't say anything. He just raised his half-closed eyes and looked at him.

"If you can't convince them, then take them back to the police station. If there are a lot of people, we can go to each family one by one. There's nothing to worry about."

Xiao Li, who was thinking about what to do on the opposite side, was choked by his words. He couldn't utter a word for a long time, and finally said something weakly.

"...Master Li...isn't this against the rules?"

Seeing his hesitation and reluctance, Li Qingfeng snorted coldly.

"Isn't it your duty to protect the people? What's wrong with upholding justice and eradicating evil?"

Seeing that his few words had left him speechless and he didn't know how to refute, he ignored him and closed his eyes to concentrate on feeling the "spiritual energy" in his body.

After being taught a lesson, Xiao Li didn't bother himself any more and could only take out his cell phone and keep flipping through it.

Just like that, more than ten minutes passed.

A strong aroma wafted from the back kitchen in the inner room, perking up the bored crowd.

"The noodles are coming~ be careful~"

The old man came out from the kitchen with a smile on his face, carrying the food ordered by everyone.
