Chapter 67 Warm Harbor
A black sedan was parked in the open space outside the forest. It was the special car that the Beast Tamer Association provided to Li Qingzhou.
Xing Fangzhou and other professional beast tamers stayed in the forest to deal with the follow-up matters. Chen Xiaoyun and Li Qingzhou returned to the Beast Tamer Association together.
As soon as Li Qingzhou walked out of the forest, the black sedan started, slowly moved forward, and stopped in front of Li Qingzhou.
Zhou Dasheng got out of the car quickly and opened the back door with a set of smooth movements.
"Mr. Li, please get in the car. I will take you back to the Beast Tamer Association." Zhou Dasheng said politely.
"Thank you." Li Qingzhou smiled and nodded, and got into the car.
Chen Xiaoyun also opened the door and sat in the front passenger seat.
The car roared, drove away from the Lingshi Forest, and headed towards the city.
The sun gradually set, and the night slowly fell.
Ping An lay on Li Qingzhou's legs, yawning.
Li Qingzhou stared at the darkness outside and thought of that rainy night and that man again.
This world is not as peaceful as it seems. Something is stirring in the darkness.
"Become stronger! Become stronger than anyone else."
He stroked Ping An and murmured to himself, his voice ethereal.
The car sped all the way and soon arrived at the Beast Tamer Association.
As a distinguished member of the association, after completing the task, the cumbersome process of submitting tasks and receiving rewards can be omitted. You only need to inform the special business contactor of the task situation, and they will complete the next series of processes.
Li Qingzhou handed the props of this task and the task target Mu Linger to Chen Xiaoyun.
Chen Xiaoyun took the items with a smile and said, "Okay, Mr. Li, I will submit the task and deposit the corresponding task reward into the card. This is your bank card."
She handed Li Qingzhou a silver card.
"This is a bank card that the Beast Tamer Association has specially issued for distinguished members. The rewards for completing tasks will be deposited into this card. Just wait patiently for the rewards to arrive."
"Thank you." Li Qingzhou took the bank card and once again felt that the treatment of distinguished members was really extraordinary, and even had a dedicated bank card.
"I will handle the next process. I won't bother you for now. You can contact me at any time if you need it." Chen Xiaoyun showed a professional smile on his face, bowed slightly, and then left.
Chen Xiaoyun will handle the process of handing in tasks. Li Qingzhou had nothing else to do in the Beast Tamer Association, so he turned around, left the association, and took a taxi home.
When Li Qingzhou arrived at the door of his house, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening.
In the house, Li's father and mother were arguing about something.
"You said that Qingzhou would not have any problems, right? Why didn't he come back so late? No, I have to go find him." Li's mother's voice came out, her tone full of anxiety.
"Mother, don't worry. Qingzhou is an adult. He knows his limits. Nothing will happen to him. He must have been playing at a classmate's house and forgot the time." Father Li comforted him, but his tone was not calm, and he could hear his worry.
"I called several times, but no one answered! How can I not worry?" Mother Li raised her voice, and there was a hint of sobbing in her tone.
"Don't worry, I'll call their teacher and ask him to help ask." Father Li said.
A warm current surged in Li Qingzhou's heart. He took out his mobile phone, which showed 6 missed calls, all from his mother.
When he found something unusual in the Lingshi Forest, he muted his phone, fearing that the sound of the phone would alarm something in the forest.
Unexpectedly, this also made his parents so worried.
"Huh"
Li Qingzhou exhaled a long breath, then stretched out his hand to open the door.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back." Li Qingzhou said with a smile.
"Where have you been, kid? Why didn't you answer the phone?" Li's mother complained, but a smile appeared on her face.
"If you come home late in the future, tell your family first, don't make your mother worry." Li's father hung up the phone he was about to dial and said.
"I'm learning about beast control knowledge at the Beast Control Association. I was so engrossed in learning that I didn't pay attention to the time." Li Qingzhou said embarrassedly.
He lied. He didn't want to worry his parents, so he didn't mention going to Lingshi Forest to do the mission.
His parents are ordinary people. In their eyes, the wild forest is a dangerous place full of dangers. There are many reports on TV on weekdays about casualties in wild exploration.
Let them live in a quiet and peaceful world. The ferocious beasts in the forest and the madness of Skywalker should not interfere with their lives. All of this should stay in that forest!
White lies are sometimes necessary!
White lies are not malicious deceptions. Their starting point is to consider the other party, not for their own interests.
"I told you it's okay! You're still worrying about it." Father Li said to Mother Li, and the worry on his face disappeared.
"You're talking about me, but you're also in a hurry to call the head teacher." Mother Li retorted, rolled her eyes at Father Li, and then looked at Li Qingzhou with a smile, "You haven't eaten yet, I'll go heat up the food."
After saying that, she turned and went into the kitchen.
Soon, the sound of cooking and kitchen utensils colliding came from the kitchen.
Father Li was relieved, he sat on the sofa, picked up the remote control, turned on the TV, and watched the TV program.
Familiar voices came from the TV, it was a popular TV series.
The dim light illuminated the whole room, the sound of the TV, the collision of kitchen utensils, the roar of cars outside the window, and the noisy sounds converged.
A smile appeared on Li Qingzhou's face. He had never felt that these sounds were so pleasant and so reassuring. Home is a warm harbor where you can put down all your guard and burdens, rest and live peacefully.
The lights of thousands of homes make up this vibrant world.
They will not let their peaceful and calm lives be taken away! He will protect this world to the end.
He will not allow any madness and pollution to happen!
Become stronger, stronger than anyone else!
Li Qingzhou's thoughts diverged, and his expression was peaceful and peaceful, just like bathing in the spring sunshine.
Soon, the hot meals were served on the table.
Mother Li wiped her hands on her apron and said with a smile: "Eat quickly, you must be hungry."
Li Qingzhou nodded, then picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.
After a tiring day, he was really hungry. He didn't feel hungry at the Beast Tamer Association, but when he smelled the aroma of the food, his stomach couldn't help but growl. He ate the rice in big mouthfuls and gobbled it up.
"Eat slowly, there's still a lot." Mother Li looked at Li Qingzhou with a smile, her eyes full of kindness.
After dinner, the three of them sat on the sofa and watched the TV series together.
They chatted about family matters while watching the joys and sorrows of the characters in the TV series.
The lights flickered, casting the shadows of the family of three on the wall, warm and cozy.
