The fox has no bad intentions

Chapter 497 Ah Qing's Brass Knuckles

"Mom, did you bring my medical insurance card?"

A-Qing led the little fox to the lobby of the outpatient department. After waiting for Yu Zhenghong and Chen Peipei, the three of them went to the payment counter together and paid the inpatient medical fees.

An Sheng leaned on A Qing's shoulder, looking excitedly toward the emergency room.

Although the emergency room doors were closed, wishes were appearing on the wish list.

Because of its height, the little basket was severely injured by the Labrador's Iron Tail's lightning-fast thirteen-hit combo, and burst into tears.

Some people have bled from red bumps on their chests due to friction from their clothes while riding bicycles, and they are in so much pain that they are grimacing.

Some idiot yelled "Vitelle~" at the doctor, then ordered glucose with ice. The doctor was probably cursing him horribly.

The old fox's mood gradually improved, and his fluffy tail began to wag.

"Although."

"I also want to earn those wish points to increase my tail count by one, but unfortunately I don't have that ability. Let modern medicine handle medical matters!"

An Sheng let out a soft moan with a happy expression.

"Xiao An, your laughter is so cunning!"

Ah Qing looked at the little fox perched on her shoulder, chuckling softly, and showed a puzzled expression.

"Is that so, Mr. An?"

An Sheng had a happy expression on his face and was about to start fooling A Qing when a sticky feeling came over him, causing An Sheng to stop speaking in his throat.

A sudden premonition of good fortune welled up in my mind.

An Sheng, who had been perched on A Qing's shoulder, now had its little feet on A Qing's shoulders and its two paws on A Qing's head, gazing towards the west of Jiu Le.

The little fox's sudden action startled A-Qing, Lao Deng, and Chen Peipei, who were walking towards the parking lot.

An Sheng was also taken aback, not understanding how he had suddenly been mentioned on A Qing's head when he was speaking normally.

A slight tremor was felt in the western part of Jiule City.

The person standing on the ground suddenly felt a strange dizziness rising in their head.

It's like getting carsick on land.

The slight tremor came and went quickly.

"An earthquake?"

Yu Zhenghong was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, but didn't pay much attention to what had just happened.

Earthquakes are infrequent in the Xiadong area, but in the last ten years or so, they have occurred once or twice a year, usually with a magnitude of only 2-3. The most noticeable effect is that the tea in the cup sloshes around.

but.

On the eve of the earthquake, the fox spirit's behavior of climbing high to warn of the impending disaster amazed the whole family.

"An earthquake? Are there any earthquake zones near our Jiule City? Didn't the tremors come from the direction of Taiwan?" An Sheng asked, his face full of questions.

"It's alright, it's just an isolated incident," Ah Qing said, patting the little fox's head to comfort it.

It's normal for a one-year-old fox cub to feel scared, having never seen an earthquake before.

The earthquake came and went quickly, without disrupting the daily lives of the people of Xiadong.

But some small animals were in big trouble.

Snakes and rats hiding in their burrows sensed the approaching earthquake and ran out of their burrows onto the asphalt road.

Asphalt roads exposed to the sun can easily reach a temperature of 60 or 70 degrees Celsius to the touch.

Even a snake that has been cold-blooded its whole life can be surprisingly passionate and start breaking into a breakdance on the asphalt road.

The mice started tap dancing until they finally reached the white speed bump and breathed a sigh of relief.

The white speed bumps definitely don't burn your feet anymore.

"Go away, all of you, go back to the side of the road!"

Mr. Fuli leaned out of the car window and told all the little animals that were cosplaying as speed bumps on the road to go home.

The scolded animals had no choice but to grit their teeth and walk home along the asphalt road.

"Eee-ah—don't come any closer!"

Back at the farmers' market next to Changxi Town, a girl wearing slippers ran ahead, her face full of terror, running for her life without looking back. Behind her was a large golden retriever that had just fallen into a ditch, covered in yellowish-brown mud.

The golden retriever was beaming with joy as it frolicked with its owner.

A herd of black muntjacs strolled through the farmers' market, their faces full of foolishness and cuteness. One of them poked its head out onto a fruit stall, grabbed a piece of fruit, and started chewing.

The homeless begging team was selling rat extermination products at the farmers' market. "Changxi Town is getting more and more lively," said Master Fuli with a sigh.

The pickup truck was parked in front of the old house, and Yu Zhengxi, Yu Zhengwen, Yu Jingwen, the three little ones and the corgi all poked their heads out to look out.

"It's okay."

Seeing Ah Qing return alive and kicking, Yu Zhengxi breathed a sigh of relief, while glaring fiercely at Li Qiuxia.

Li Qiuxia looked helpless.

In the city of Kuroku, a major law enforcement operation took place at night, resulting in the detention of over a thousand people.

There are no absolute secrets in the world, and it is necessary to have the necessary emergency plans and safeguards.

Who knows if innocent bystanders will be affected? In case of any unexpected event, we can evacuate quickly.

…………

Upon returning home from the hospital, A-Qing immediately picked up the little fox and took him to the bathroom to wash him clean. Then she took a shower herself before heading out.

As A-Qing was preparing to go on her appointment with Qiu Lingling to tour the float celebration, Yu Zhengxi called her back.

"Hmm? Second Uncle, what's wrong?" Ah Qing looked at Yu Zhengxi and Li Qiuxia with a puzzled expression.

The two were neatly dressed and dragging suitcases, as if they were preparing to travel far away.

“We’re getting ready to go back to the capital. We couldn’t get plane tickets before, so we had to drive back.” Yu Zhengxi said, taking out a red envelope from his pocket and handing it to A Qing with a smile, “My second uncle is quite busy with work, and I don’t know if he’ll have any holidays to come back for the Chinese New Year this year, so I’m giving you this red envelope in advance.”

"You must study hard. When you do your internship at the Imperial Capital campus next year, your second uncle will give you a big surprise."

When her second uncle handed her the red envelope, the weight of it made Ah Qing's eyes widen, and she stared blankly at him.

"I'm leaving. Don't tell your dad about the red envelope. That old bastard's so broke lately he's practically wearing holes in his underwear." Yu Zhengxi waved his hand, not giving A Qing a chance to speak, and walked straight out the door.

The red envelope that Yu Zhengxi took out of his suit pocket was not a red envelope in the ordinary sense, but a box wrapped in red paper.

Its thickness is comparable to that of a brick, and it is surprisingly heavy.

"what?"

An Sheng jumped up, grabbed A Qing's arm, and looked at her second uncle's red envelope with a face full of curiosity.

"I don't know! This is the first time I've ever seen my second uncle give out such a red envelope. He usually gives out three thousand in cash."

A-Qing was a little curious. She looked around and secretly ran to a corner of the courtyard to open the red envelope.

The first thing you see is an exquisite wooden box, with the words "Peace Buckle" outlined in gold paint in the lower right corner.

"Well?"

A-Qing opened the wooden box with some doubt. Inside was a stack of cash, about ten thousand yuan. At the bottom was a rectangular object wrapped in silk.

A-Qing opened the silk package.

A brass with a blackish-iron luster, a smooth surface, and inlaid with mother-of-pearl appeared before Ah Qing's eyes.

The words "Make good use of" are written on the knuckle duster.

"This"

Ah Qing, with a look of both laughter and tears, said, "This thing, if you wear it on your finger, is indeed quite safe."

"Second Uncle really does like sending back strange and unusual toys. But, like the Xia Dong lacquerware, the mother-of-pearl inlay on it is so shiny."

"?"

When An Sheng saw the brass knuckles, he froze, opened his mouth and bit down on them, biting down with a little force.

But the tiger-shaped object didn't budge; instead, it made Master Fuli's teeth ache.

An Sheng's eyes widened as he watched A Qing pull back the brass knuckles from her hand, and a "Holy crap" escaped his lips.

Such a hard metal product, I have seen the same one in An Sheng's life story, that is Spirit Particle Metal!

But Ah Qing's brass knuckle duster is very exquisite.

This completely contradicts the common sense that spirit particles can only be synthesized and roughly processed.

"You wicked fox!"

Ah Qing withdrew the brass knuckles and pinched the little fox's nose as punishment: "You can't eat this. If you eat it, I'll cut your belly open."

"Is this a question of whether or not to eat? Your second uncle is clearly the one with the problem, isn't he?" An Sheng complained, glancing sideways at the road outside the courtyard.

While they were opening the red envelopes, Yu Zhengxi and Li Qiuxia had already driven away and were nowhere to be seen on the road.
