"Oh, this is really... spectacular." Jiang Yan looked at the street in front of him in disbelief, unable to close his mouth for a moment.
He had never seen the night view of Longmen. It should be said that after coming to Terra, this was the first time he faced the night of Terra's modern city: there is no eternal day of darkness, and people use technology to drive away the night.
...It was like returning to the earth. Jiang Shaoran: When he was in Victoria, he didn't have much chance to enjoy life, and he didn't even see the subway. Only when he saw the noisy crowds and dazzling neon lights did he remember that this and him
Life on Earth is no different.
Are you homesick...forget it, it's useless. I don't know if I can go back anyway.
I think of the wolf girl hiding in the forest again. I wonder how she is doing. Speaking of which, why does Hong keep hiding in the forest? Is it because she doesn’t like the city...
"...This is it." A voice came from the front, interrupting Jiang Yan's thoughts.
After receiving the instruction that he was allowed to skip work, Jiang Yan regretted that he had to change into work clothes after only wearing them for less than half an hour, while he quickly packed up the goods that Li Duan had brought him and closed the store.
A group of three people started from Wuming Bar, led by Zie through the slum alleys, and slowly entered the city. After experiencing neon lights, crowds and other mixed and dizzying atmospheres, they arrived at
A secluded park that is rare in urban areas.
A few dining carts that could be easily pushed and several sets of low tables and chairs formed the main part of the picture, dotted with smoke and the aroma of various dishes in the pot. Jiang Yan swallowed his saliva - his stomach almost growled in dissatisfaction.
He came to a dining car in a familiar way and said to the elderly stall owner: "Uncle Dong, three portions of fish balls."
"What?" The old man stood up from behind the dining car, raised his face to the young man and was surprised: "Three portions? You have a huge appetite..."
The child seemed to be protesting: "...I'm bringing people here today." He turned to look at Jiang Shao and Li Dan, and said, "Let's go look for what we want to eat first. Eat more...I'll treat you."
"Go to the road!" Li Duan slapped his thigh, looking impatient, hooked Jiang Yan's shoulder and ran towards the other stalls. Uncle Dong looked at the two young people running away, thoughtfully.
"I have a memory of that short-haired boy. If I remember correctly, his surname should be Li, from Afa's side. The other guy... I haven't seen him before." Uncle Dong started working with his hands, looking down at the pot, as if he had inadvertently asked
Jie asked:
"you know?"
Zie Wei nodded: "The one I just met today should be considered a member of Afa, working for him."
"Really? You look so unfamiliar, why do you just let your guard down like that?"
"...He does have the ability, but he should be a good person." Jie shrugged, treating the old man as easily as if he was getting along with his father. He recalled that Jiang Yan could still maintain that posture when he saw himself deliberately exposing the murder weapon, plus some of his intuition
, firmed up his opinion: "I know it in my heart."
"Good man? It's a bit unusual to hear it from your mouth." Uncle Dong picked up the fish balls with his hands and feet neatly and placed them in three small bowls.
"Just know it yourself." Uncle Dong took out another pot and put it on the stove: "Tell your new friends to order less food. I'll fry some noodles for you guys and treat it as a rare treat for you."
My friend picked up the wind."
The child was stunned for a moment. It was unusual for Uncle Dong to be so active in cooking for strangers.
I remembered what he had just said about "friends" and was about to refute, but hesitated. He just nodded "Yeah" and turned to Li Duan and Man Man, who were quite "powerful" even though they were only one person ordering.
Jiang Yan walked over with a troubled face.
——But I forgot to ask why Uncle Dong said such words as "take the wind".
"Do you have the ability..." Uncle Dong turned on the gas stove and thought about the unfamiliar-faced young man and the few words of his description.
The boy said very little, but what he said was very accurate - maybe because he was closer to the instinct of a beast, and he knew better how to look at people. Are they good people? But he still can't take it too lightly.
While heating the oil, he took out a mobile phone with huge buttons and dialed a number without any notes.
Paying attention to the actions of the young people, he said into the phone:
"Hey, Lin. Ah, yes, I'm running a stall. I want to ask for news..."
——————————
"Oh my God, these fish balls are so chewy!"
Li Duan burst into tears and couldn't stop holding the chopsticks in his hands. He didn't know how he solved the problem of heat dissipation while eating. Jiang Yan was picking up the freshly cooked fried noodles in his hands, and really hoped that he would have a can of beer by now.
——
"Here." Jie found the box from under the cart, took out two cans of beer, and handed them to Jiang Shao and Li Dan respectively. Before Li Dan had time to grab them, the cold beer in front of him was handed back to Jie by Jiang Shao.
"He's not old enough, Brother Fa asked me not to give him alcohol." As he said that, Jiang Shao opened the ring quickly, drank half the bottle in one breath, and let out a sigh of relief - this is called life: fuck him.
Connor, screw your mission, having a good time is the most important thing right now.
"Really?" Hearing this, Jie put the beer back into the box. Li Duan was so angry that he noticed: "What's going on? Didn't you even mix the wine for me that day!"
Jiang Yan rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you don't know what alcohol tastes like, don't talk nonsense. Are you afraid that others won't know that you are underage?" After that, he drank the beer and started to enjoy it again.
"What do you mean?" Li Duan looked confused: "Doesn't that mean I drank too much that day?"
"Hiccup, ah, comfortable." Jiang Yan smiled with satisfaction, put down the lunch box and fast food chopsticks in his hands, and greeted Uncle Dong: "Boss Dong's cooking is really great - this is the best food I have ever eaten.
Fish balls and fried noodles, thank you for your hospitality.”
"Haha, I got the prize, little friend." Uncle Dong smiled happily: "If someone likes it, it is the best reward for me. Do you want to eat anything more?"
"No, I'm not hungry anymore."
Jiang Yan silently sighed for his wallet after working odd jobs for several days (although he didn't have a wallet at all now), which showed no signs of getting angry. For the sake of rent, it's better to restrain his food intake now. As long as he doesn't need to strengthen it, he can usually
The diet is sufficient.
"Really?" Uncle Dong came from the dining car. Jiang Yan found that he was a little lame, as if he had an injury on his leg. Uncle Dong pulled up a small stool and sat down: "I envy you young people... I am now
I can't drink. You look like a stranger to me, where did you come from?"
"...People from the Yan Kingdom," Jiang Yan said, "come to Longmen to experience life."
"Do you want to experience life? Not bad. You should go out more often when you are young. Are you short of money? Do you have any plans to work?"
Jiang Yan recalled the tragedy that happened to the Shen sisters in the afternoon, and shook his head in embarrassment: "Uh, forget it, I'm not suitable for cooking."
"Ha, it's not that I want to recruit people - I'm enough on my own." Uncle Dong smiled, but he had a plan in his heart:
"I know you have to work at night, it's a day job. I have a friend who owns a candy store and is looking for someone who can do some heavy work for the elderly."
