Chapter 961 Mysterious Badge
I kept talking to my mother until the ambulance came, and then I ended the call.
Putting down his cell phone and picking up the brass badge, Chen Feng couldn't help but think of the telepathy he suddenly had just now. If he had this ability because he absorbed the strange energy contained in it, Then this thing is really a treasure.
The energy contained in this treasure is very powerful and sufficient. Chen Feng absorbed it for about half an hour before, but now he still cannot sense how long he can absorb it. In short, it is very sufficient, even It vaguely felt that it was more abundant than the oracle bones that Chen Feng had absorbed before.
This made Chen Feng feel very strange. After all, the oracle bones have a history of thousands of years, and this badge is only a hundred or two hundred years old at most.
In terms of historical value and commemorative value, this brass badge is completely incomparable to the tortoise shell of the Oracle.
However, Chen Feng thought about it carefully and realized that it might have been too long and the energy contained in the oracle bone script had been lost more. On the contrary, the bald eagle badge had a short history and the energy lost was much less.
“Are you still looking at this badge?”
After taking a bath, Brina came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe.
After Chen Feng glanced at her, he nodded and said, "Yes, I am very curious about the origin of this badge. I plan to check it out."
With that said, Chen Feng picked up his phone and planned to use the search engine's photo recognition function to search for it, but the results found were only similar items, and there were no search results for such badges.
I changed several search engines but the same thing happened, so I had no choice but to give up.
“Can’t you recognize it?” Brina came over and asked.
After Chen Feng nodded, she said, "I'll take a few photos and I'll go to school to check them for you on Monday."
Of course Chen Feng didn't refuse and asked her to take her phone and look at this The badge took a few photos.
Next, Chen Feng put away the badge for the time being. After chatting with Brina for a while, he waited for her to change clothes and went downstairs to the hotel restaurant for dinner.
After dinner, Chen Feng rejected Brina's suggestion to go shopping and took her directly back to the hotel room.
After a silent night, the next morning, Chen Feng and Brina came out of the hotel with their luggage bags.
He has already checked out and decided to go back to San Diego today.
Originally, Brina was going to drive him there in person, but she had classes tomorrow morning on Monday, so it was really a hassle to go back and forth.
Therefore, Chen Feng booked an online car-hailing service last night.
The two of them were waiting on the side of the road in front of the hotel for the online taxi to come over. Brina asked with a look of reluctance: "Are you sure you will still be in San Diego next weekend?"
"It should still be there. Anyway, let's talk about it then. Aren't there still a few days?"
Chen Feng has answered this question several times, but she still asked again, and Chen Feng could only ask again. answer.
Brina wanted to say something else, but the online car-hailing car had already arrived at the agreed time and stopped in front of them. The driver was a middle-aged white man with a beard.
After putting the luggage in the trunk, he walked to the back seat door and was about to open the door when Brina suddenly came over and hugged him tightly. Without saying a word, she just buried her head in his arms.
Chen Feng felt helpless when he saw her like this. Of course he could tell that Brina was truly attracted to him, and he didn't know where his charm came from.
Originally, the two of them made an appointment just for fun, but once they touched it, they were both inseparable, especially for Brynna.
When she was in Xiuzhou, she made an agreement with Chen Feng that the special relationship between the two would end after she left Xiuzhou.
The result is that until now, in the past few months, even though they have crossed the ocean, the special relationship between the two has still not been broken. The relationship gets closer, especially for Brynna.
Of course she also knew that Chen Feng had a girlfriend, and she was very romantic. She never thought about having a relationship with Chen Feng at first.
But humans are such complicated animals. The more you think about something, the result is often the opposite. She unknowingly appreciates Chen Feng more and more, and then likes him more and more, and now she They all felt that they were falling in love with him.
She didn't deliberately suppress her feelings. After all, Chen Feng wasn't married yet, and it was our choice. Why should she suppress her love for him?
"Okay, we should be able to meet in a few days. There is no need to be so reluctant to leave."
Chen Feng patted her back gently and pushed away. Got her.
The online ride-hailing driver also shouted from inside: "Sir, can you leave?"
Chen Feng responded: "Okay, let's go now."
Brina saw this It was no longer easy to stop Chen Feng, so he could only stand on tiptoe and kiss him quickly, then waved to him and said, "Call me when you get there."
Chen Feng gestured OK to her After making a gesture, he opened the door and got in.
The car started immediately. Through the car window, Chen Feng saw Brina standing on the side of the road waving goodbye. He also waved to her again, and then the car turned around. After accelerating, she could no longer be seen. .
After the car drove for more than ten minutes, neither Chen Feng nor the online ride-hailing driver spoke.
It wasn’t until the car drove out of the city that the online taxi driver took the initiative to say: “Sir, you and your couple have a really good relationship. She seems really reluctant to let you go. She is your daughter. Friend or wife?"
Chen Feng didn't want to respond, but seeing that he was really envious, he replied: "Girlfriend."
"It's really good. Your girlfriend is very good. Beautiful.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
Probably the online ride-hailing driver also saw that Chen Feng didn't want to talk, so after saying a few simple words, he stopped talking.
This is not much different from that in China. After all, it is an online car-hailing service, not a taxi. The service attitude is much better, for fear of negative reviews from customers.
So, for the next nearly an hour of travel, the car remained quiet.
Until the driver received a call, he answered it using Bluetooth and said to Chen Feng with some embarrassment: "Sir, I'm sorry, I have a friend whose friend is in a small town ahead, and he happens to be there too. I’m going to San Diego. Can I give her a ride?”
According to the regulations of online ride-hailing, Chen Feng, as the only passenger, has the right to refuse the driver from adding another person during the ride. .
Chen Feng just didn't want to carpool with others, so he specifically chose an online car-hailing service for just one person last night.
As for what the other party said about being a friend of a friend, he definitely didn’t believe it. It was nothing more than an excuse to make extra money along the way.
"Since I have prepaid for one person's exclusive service, you should only carry me as a passenger as agreed."
Chen Feng's words were clearly a rejection.
The driver said helplessly: "How about I refund half of the money to you privately? This is a request from a very good friend of mine, who is also her good friend."
When Chen Feng heard that it was "she" instead of "he", he somewhat understood.
And seeing that the other party was actually willing to refund half of the money to him, it didn’t look like he was making extra money.
So, this time Chen Feng did not refuse. He just said, "We'll talk about it when we get to the place and see the person." "Okay, sir, she is a lady and she is traveling long distance. She is traveling with her. , it should be more lively, you can talk to her about travel and local scenery, she has been to many places."
"Okay, if what you said is true, add it. It doesn’t matter to her, and you don’t need to refund the money.”
"Thank you so much, everything I said is true."
Ten minutes later, the car arrived outside a small town. A tall woman with chestnut hair stood on the side of the road. After a while, I saw clearly that this woman was wearing a peaked cap, a high-collared jacket, jeans, and a large backpack at her feet.
He is about thirty years old, not bad looking, with wheat-colored skin and brown eyes.
One look at her somewhat travel-worn appearance, and you can tell that she is a genuine backpacker.
"Is it Molly?"
The driver stopped the car in front of the female backpacker, lowered the window and shouted to her.
“Yes, are you White?” the female backpacker responded, bending over.
“Yes, I’m glad to see you. I’ve often heard Valina talk about you before, but I’ve never seen you.”
“Me too, haha, I’m glad to see you. I'm sorry to bother you this time. I've been waiting here for more than half an hour and I haven't even seen a car taking me to San Diego, so I sent this message. I complained on the post, but Valina saw it, and then she contacted me and said that you were going to San Diego.”
“Yes, it was a coincidence that I posted it more than an hour ago. A message said that I am sending guests to San Diego today. Okay, you can get in the car first. I will help you carry your luggage.”
The driver, White, got out of the car enthusiastically and went over to carry the big backpack for her.
"Okay, I'll trouble you." Molly didn't refuse.
The big backpack looked very heavy. Even White, a middle-aged man, found it difficult to lift it. The weight was obviously beyond his expectation. He couldn't help but ask: "You What’s in it? It’s pretty heavy.”< br>
Molly answered: "There are two stones that I happened to find on the mountain here. They are very beautiful and I like them very much, so I put them in my backpack."
"It's no wonder. "White murmured softly and put the backpack in the trunk.
At this time, Molly opened the rear door and sat in. She greeted Chen Feng with a natural smile: "Hello, my name is Molly. I'm sorry to trouble you this time. Thank you for agreeing to give me a ride."
Chen Feng had a good impression of the female backpacker. He nodded slightly and said, "It's just a matter of convenience. Thank you."
"Anyway, excuse me, this is a small gift from me. I hope you can accept it."
As she said this, she took out two pieces of brass from her pocket. The metal badges are of the same size and style, with a human face and sun symbol about ten centimeters in diameter.
What surprised Chen Feng a little was that these two badges actually contained the kind of life energy that Chen Feng needed. Although it was relatively small, it was only enough for him to suck for about ten minutes, but to Chen Feng it was still Something magical.
Chen Feng easily took one of the pieces that was handed over to him, and of course handed the other piece to the driver White who had just got into the car.
"This is a handicraft I bought in Mexico. It's not valuable. You all should accept it." Molly explained briefly.
"Thank you then." White accepted it unceremoniously.
As for Chen Feng, of course, he was no exception. After saying thank you, he accepted it.
The car restarted, and White began to chat with Molly all over the place.
Molly has indeed been to many places. She talks about the customs and customs of some places very clearly, and her speaking voice is nice and funny. At least she often makes the driver White laugh out loud. Chen Feng is worried that he laughs too much and turns the car over. Drive down the cliff.
So, for his own safety, Chen Feng also joined the chat and deliberately brought the topic to the Dragon Kingdom.
Not to mention, this female backpacker has actually been to the Dragon Kingdom, not only the capital and the magical capital, but also Xiuzhou.
Then, Chen Feng said that he now lives in Xiuzhou.
Molly immediately said happily: "Then I really envy you. I have been to three cities in Longguo, but the one that impressed me the most was Xiuzhou, with its very unique climate and scenery. It’s great and very suitable for living. Last year, I stayed there for half a month and didn’t want to leave. I almost put my global travel plans on hold.”
"You are discerning. Xiuzhou can be said to be the most livable city in our country."
......
The two chatted about Xiuzhou for a long time. The driver White He couldn't speak at all, because he had never been to Longguo and knew nothing about Xiuzhou.
Of course, as an online ride-hailing driver, he cannot interrupt the conversation between the two of them, so he can only concentrate on driving.
This is the result Chen Feng wants.
I have to admit that it is a great pleasure to chat with a well-informed and cultured woman like Molly. The more Chen Feng chatted with her, the more speculative he became. Later, they talked about badges. First, the Mexican Sun badge she just gave her. She said it was Purchased from a sun temple in Mexico, it is a building from the Mayan civilization era.
Then, she told Chen Feng some history of the Mayan civilization.
After that, Chen Feng took out the brass badge he just bought yesterday, handed it to her, and asked: "I went to the flea market yesterday and bought a badge. You go to many places. , can you tell its origin?”
Molly took the badge. Zhang, looked at it carefully for a while, and then thought about it for a while, then said: "I seem to have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while."
Chen Feng didn't agree with this. He wasn't too disappointed. After all, he just wanted to give it a try and didn't have high hopes.
"Forget it if you can't remember."
Chen Feng reached out to take back the badge, but Molly retracted her hand, immediately picked it up again and looked at it, and said: "I'll take a closer look. Maybe I can remember it."
Seeing this, Chen Feng asked her to look again.
Molly fell silent while holding the badge. After a while, the driver White couldn't help but ask: "What kind of badge? Maybe I can recognize it."
< br>As soon as she finished speaking, Molly suddenly raised her voice and said, "I remembered, I I seem to have seen it in a historical monograph a long time ago. It was a historical research book about the Westward Expansion Movement. I didn't read it very carefully at the time. This badge seemed to appear in a certain chapter. It seems to be a medal issued to bounty hunters by a certain local government.”
"Bounty hunter's medal?" Chen Feng was very surprised.
He really didn't expect that this medal was actually related to a bounty hunter, and it was a bounty hunter during the Westward Expansion Movement. This was too biased.
However, Chen Feng also learned some American history and knew that the bounty hunter system was established during the Westward Expansion Movement to hunt down fugitives.
The so-called fugitives are not only criminals wanted by the police and local governments, but also black slaves who escaped.
Bounty hunters of that period often played the role of robbers and escorts.
I’m not saying there aren’t any good people in there, but there are definitely very few.
So, the original recipient of this medal was most likely a murderer.
