When Ah Zhi came back with vegetables, he saw a group of gray-haired old people gathered in front of Grandma Shuzhi's stall, making a lot of noise and not knowing what they were doing.
When she walked forward, she saw Old Uncle Liu and Grandma Shuzhi, who usually looked down upon each other, standing happily together. In the middle stood a little guy with a smile as if his plot had succeeded.
"Uncle Zhang, Uncle Liu and Grandma Shuzhi, what's going on?"
"It's Azhi, Lao Liu finally confessed to Shuzhi today! Of the two of them, one is stubborn and insists on waiting, and the other is weak and dare not take the initiative to confess. In the past few decades, we old guys have been
I look anxious in my eyes but feel anxious in my heart, now it’s finally over. All thanks to that little girl. They say children’s words are unbridled, and children’s words are unbridled! Hahaha.”
"Uncle Zhang, are you saying that it's all because of Xiaomo that this happened?"
"So that child's name is Xiaomo? Your child?"
Ah Zhi showed a speechless expression.
"Uncle Zhang, how did a young man like me get such a big kid?"
"That's right, forget it, I met a big happy event today, so I should be happy. Ah Zhi, I didn't tell you what, you are already a grown-up."
Seeing Uncle Zhang's elders' offensive that seemed to be about to begin, A Li immediately shouted: "Uncle Zhang! I have to leave quickly! The restaurant is still waiting for my food!"
"Hey, this kid doesn't have time to listen to a few old people's words."
Azhi put the pole on the ground, carefully avoided the onlookers of old people, and came to the front of the three people.
"Ah! It's Sister Azhi! You're back!"
"Yes, yes, my sister just left for a while, and you made such a big noise."
Zhong Mo stuck out his tongue in embarrassment and said in a malicious and cute way: "Hey."
"You kid, what do you mean hey?"
Grandma Shuzhi on the side also said at this time: "Haha, you can't blame this child. If it weren't for her, I don't know how long it would take for this piece of wood to wake up!"
Old Uncle Liu also echoed: "Yes, if it weren't for this child, I wouldn't have had the courage to confess to Sister Shuzhi."
Grandma Shuzhi rolled her eyes at him: "How old are you, and you still call me sister? You're not ashamed."
"Yes, yes, old woman. But think about it, it doesn't matter if you scream. After all, you are half-body and buried in the earth. Why should you care about the worldly things."
"Eh." Ah Zhi shuddered. As a single, she couldn't bear to be treated like shit by an old man of several decades, so she quickly said to Xiao Mo.
"I feel like it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, Xiaomo, let's go without disturbing these two old people. It's getting late."
"Well, listen to Sister Azhi!"
"Are you leaving now? Zhi, why don't you sit down for a while?"
"No, Grandma Shuzhi, Ben is not at the inn today. There are a lot of things to be busy with at the inn, so I have to go back early."
"Well, work is important, so go back and remember to come and see us old men and women more often."
Ah Zhi nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will bring Ah Ben to the village to accompany you as soon as the inn is relaxed."
After bidding farewell to Grandma Shuzhi and old Uncle Liu, Azhi picked up the pole on the ground and walked towards the outside of the market, while Zhong Mo followed her to push the cart.
"No need for the cart, Xiaomo. We don't have many things this time. Let's leave the cart at Grandma Shuzhi's place and use it next time we come."
After leaving the market, Zhong Mo suddenly stopped at a fork in the road. Seeing her stop, Ah Zhi also stopped, looked at her and said, "What's wrong? Xiao Mo? Are you tired?"
Zhong Mo shook his head and said nothing, just silently holding Manman in his arms.
Azhi was silent for a moment, and then said: "You are leaving, right?"
Zhong Mo nodded and took a step back.
"Sister, I know, you can go, I can just go back alone."
At this time, Zhong Mo finally spoke, but his words lacked the immaturity he had in front of the two old men. Instead, they revealed the maturity and stability that a traveler should have.
"Sister Azhi, thank you. Xiaomo had a great time playing with you."
"Sister and Xiaomo are also very happy together, but Xiaomo, you still want to continue your [downhill experience], right? Sister won't keep you."
"Well, goodbye, Sister Azhi, Xiaomo will come to play with you later."
Then Zhong Mo hugged Manman in his arms, turned around, and walked up the other road.
Looking at her back, Azhi picked up the pole on the ground again and walked towards the inn.
This may be the most recent intersection between these two people in this life.
"Goodbye, little one. I hope that next time we meet, you will have become a famous [chivalrous person]."
After separating from Azhi, Zhong Mo walked alone on the road to Liyue Port. After walking for a while, Zhong Mo saw a stone statue standing on the roadside. The statue was wearing a hood and holding a cube in its hand.
, I don’t know why Zhong Mo always feels that this statue looks familiar, but he can’t tell where he has seen it.
As we walked along the huge valley formed by Tianheng Mountain, we could only see a line in the sky when we raised our heads, with towering mountain walls on both sides.
According to legend, Tianheng Mountain was erected by the rock god Morax to block the sea water.
Tianheng Mountain, which has stood for thousands of years and is still majestic, seems to be telling passers-by about the vast power of the rock gods in the past.
Passing through the Grand Canyon, the sight suddenly opens up, and what comes into view is a large expanse of blue, the endless sea, and occupying half of the sight is the bustling seaside city not far away: Liyue Port.
Although Liyue Port is called a port, it is actually composed of a city built on the mountain and a dock near the sea. It is not just a port.
Looking at the majestic Liyue Port in front of him, Zhong Mo felt very happy in his heart.
I met Boss Zhu, who obviously had a huge fortune, but left the prosperous Liyue Port just to open an inn in the wild mountains of Huangshan just for a bit of peace and quiet.
Azhi, who had a princess dream in her teenage years, gradually became stable and dull in life.
A Ben, a former delinquent who was fierce and aggressive when he was young, eventually followed Boss Zhu to the wilderness to work as a stable boy to save money.
An arrogant old woman who is too arrogant and insists on dying and almost misses out on love; an old man who clearly loves someone but is afraid of hurting her and dare not confess her love.
This was just an ordinary small place, but Zhong Mo had met so many interesting people. At this moment, she put away the childish look on her face and looked at the prosperous Liyue Port in front of her with twinkling eyes.
"So as the most prosperous big city in Liyue, what kind of people can I meet? What kind of life do they have?"
With such expectation, Zhong Mo raised his feet and walked along the road in front of him towards Liyue Port.
