As the crowd grew, Lin Mo didn’t want to linger any longer. If traffic police were to come, it would be troublesome. He pulled out 200 yuan from the driver’s hand, “This should be enough to buy some bruise ointment. You can go on your way. I’m really okay, it was just a fall.”

The driver thanked Lin Mo profusely, got back into his truck, started it, and drove off.

Once the spectacle was over, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Lin Mo found a bag and began picking up the duck eggs scattered about, salvaging those that weren’t too badly damaged and re-packing them.

He didn’t bother with the ones that had smashed open.

It would be a shame to waste the eggs that cost several dozen yuan per jin.

This was a saving habit left over from the past.

After collecting the duck eggs, he also picked up the little girl’s toy and returned it to her. Crouching down, he asked, “Little sister, what’s your name? Where do you live? Where are your parents?”

“My name is Wang Qianqian.” The little girl didn’t seem too scared, “Both my mom and dad went to work… I sneaked out when my grandmother wasn’t paying attention…”

Lin Mo was curious, “Then why did you sneak out?”

“My grandmother is sick, and I came out to buy her medicine.”

“What about your mom and dad?”

“Mom and dad are both very busy… they are police officers who catch bad guys…”

Police?

Lin Mo nodded and saw a traffic police officer on duty not far ahead. “Qianqian, look, over there is one of your parents’ colleagues. Maybe they know your mom and dad. Shall we go ask them?”

“Yes!” The little girl nodded her head.

Lin Mo walked over with the girl, explained what had happened, and handed her over to the traffic police, declining their suggestion to leave his contact information.

He still needed to catch a plane and obviously couldn’t take the little girl home himself.

“Goodbye, uncle!”

As Lin Mo departed, the little girl waved at him politely.

“Goodbye!”

Lin Mo waved back at the little girl.

This little girl looked to be only four or five years old, yet she was surprisingly brave.

Most kids would probably be crying their eyes out by now.

Maybe it had something to do with her parents being police officers.

After saying goodbye to the little girl, Lin Mo, carrying the duck eggs, found the most popular breakfast joint on the street and began to queue up.

The line was long, and it seemed he would have to wait a while. The store next to it had no line at all.

But that’s the way it is with the food industry: the more people there are, the more people follow, and vice versa.

Just as Lin Mo was about to make a call to see if his parents were up and what they wanted for breakfast, he suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice behind him.

“Young man, I didn’t expect to see you again. How did your clothes get torn?”

When Lin Mo turned around, he saw it was the old man he had just encountered. His clothes were torn because a truck had grazed him, creating a few rips.

Lin Mo explained, “Yes, grandpa, oh, about the clothes, it’s nothing. I wasn’t paying attention while walking and scraped them. Are you also here to buy breakfast?”

“Did you get hurt at all? I have some alcohol with me; here, take it and use it to disinfect.” Chen Shanhe reached into his shoulder bag, took out a bottle of medical alcohol, and offered it enthusiastically, “I just ran into your father and had a great chat with him.”

Ah?

Father?

Which father?

Lin Mo didn’t ask further, and simply waved his hand, “It’s okay, grandpa, I’m not injured, just seems like I might have twisted my waist a bit.”

“Twisted your waist? That’s no small matter.” Chen Shanhe reached out and pressed on Lin Mo’s waist without asking and inquired, “Does it hurt here?”

Hisss…

At that touch, Lin Mo almost broke out in cold sweat and quickly dodged. He honestly admitted, “It hurts… like a stabbing pain.”

Chen Shanhe said very enthusiastically, “Then it looks like you’ve got quite a serious twist. It’s best to go and get some acupuncture. I have all these things at home. Why don’t you come back with me after a while?”

“That won’t be necessary; I’ll just spray some Yunnan Baiyao on it.” Lin Mo politely declined Chen Shanhe’s offer and asked curiously, “Grandpa, are you an old Chinese medicine doctor? You don’t look like it.”

Chen Shanhe laughed, “What do you think I look like then?”

The line was long and moving slowly.

Lin Mo looked Chen Shanhe up and down and ventured, “You… look like an official, and a high-ranking one at that. Your demeanor is clearly different from us ordinary folks.”

“Haha…” Chen Shanhe couldn’t help but laugh and nodded, “Well, you and your father have a sharp eye, but old man me, I’m not any high official, just an ordinary retired old man.”

“And what about you, young man? What do you do for work?”

When abroad, one’s identity is what one makes it.

Lin Mo casually made up a job, “I’m a programmer.”

That was, in fact, the job he had always wanted to do. Sitting in an office sheltered from wind and rain, just tapping on a keyboard to make money.

Chen Shanhe smiled and shook his head: “You don’t look like a programmer to me, your hair is too thick.”

Lin Mo didn’t expect the old man to be so up to date, even aware of this stereotype, “Hey, it’s not like there’s a rule saying all programmers must be bald. Of course, it could also be that my skills just aren’t there yet.”

Chen Shanhe asked again out of curiosity, “Since you’re a programmer, why not go to a big city to develop? Northern Sea doesn’t seem to have any tech parks, being a tourist city and all.”

Lin Mo shrugged helplessly, “I tried my luck in the big city before, but the games there were too deep for me. So, I headed back to the countryside, only to find it wasn’t so peaceful there either. That’s why I thought I’d look for opportunities in the city.”
