Adventurer of the Elven World

Chapter 138 Meeting
"What's wrong?"

The man's voice brought Xiu back to reality, he raised his head and smiled and waved his hands.

"It's okay, I just remembered something."

Xiu glanced at the little girl out of the corner of his eye, but she no longer had the feeling she had just now, she was just an ordinary person.

Seeing Xiu's distraught look, the man let out a low sigh, and then said some strange words.

"Hey~ life will always encounter some ups and downs, don't give up, you are still young, there is always hope if you work hard."

The woman on the side also echoed: "Yes, there is nothing you can't get through, don't give up easily, it was very difficult for us at the beginning, but in the end we all made it through."

Xiu felt a little strange when he heard this, and was a little stunned before he realized it.

No wonder the family called me over just now, and brought water and snacks. It turned out that they had a misunderstanding when they saw him like that just now.

After Xiu figured it out, he couldn't laugh or cry for a while. He wanted to explain but was afraid that the words would become more confusing, so he had to acquiesce, and then said:

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine, I'm just a little homesick."

The two of them smiled and nodded when they heard Xiu's words, and then the man took the initiative to change the topic.

"That's right, when I drove to Hollywood alone..."

After chatting for a while, Xiu suddenly felt thirsty, and only then remembered the bottle of water in his hand.

It's just that after such a long time, it has already become normal temperature and lost the coldness at the beginning.

Xiu didn't mind, he unscrewed it and took a sip, then looked around.

Only then did I realize that most of the sun in the sky had set, and most of the people around had left, leaving only a few here and there.

The man also seemed to have reacted, turned around and glanced around, then smiled and said:

"Haha~ I didn't expect you to know everything. It's been a long time since we talked so happily."

"Xiu knows a lot. I will try the method you mentioned next time. It looks delicious."

The woman on the side looked eager to try, as if she was looking forward to the taste of the snacks made according to Xiu's method.

During the conversation just now, everyone exchanged names, and Xiu also knew that the man's name was Jono, the woman's name was Meiyao, and the little girl's name was Qianyang.

After hearing this, Xiu didn't say much, and took out two cans of candied fruit from his backpack and handed them over.

"This is a snack I made myself, you can try it."

"Oh! Let's try it." Cheng Ye was not polite, opened it and ate a little, then passed the preserved fruit to his wife, and said with a little surprise: "It's really delicious."

"Hmm~ sweet and sour, what is this made of?"

"Lanju." Xiu couldn't forget the strange feeling just now, looked at Qianyang, pushed the other one in front of her, and said tentatively: "This one is sweet, children should like it."

Qian Yang's gaze followed his words to the preserved fruit in front of him, but he still didn't speak.

Seeing this, Mei Yao picked up the can of preserved fruit and opened it, and ate a piece by herself before putting the can in her daughter's hands.

Xiu watched as Qianyang picked it up slowly and began to eat, but because the other party lowered his head, he couldn't see anything.

But Xiu didn't want to spend too much time on this kind of thing, anyway, it was almost done, so he got up and said to their family:
"It's getting late, I'm going back to the city, bye."

"We're almost back, let's go together, I'll take you back by car." Cheng Ye pointed to the car not far away, "It will take a long time to walk back."

Xiu paused for a few seconds before agreeing.

He still has business to do later, so there's no need to waste time on the road.

The vehicle drove into a remote street and then stopped slowly.

Cheng Ye turned to look at Xiu and said, "It's the place."

"Thank you."

Xiu wants to open the door to go out, here Shiro added another sentence.

"The celebration starts tomorrow, have fun."

Xiu smiled, then nodded slightly, and said casually: "Yes, you guys have fun too."

After finishing speaking, he got out of the car and waved his hands towards them before walking into the dark and narrow old street.

Xiu didn't go back directly to the elf center, but instead got into the messy old buildings.

This is the oldest place in the old city, and it is also the most chaotic place in Tokiwa City.

The reason lies in the design and planning at that time... There was no design and planning at that time, and the land was tight, so the buildings were in a mess, most of the streets were narrow, and some could only accommodate one person.

And there are no street lights here, only some key intersections have some dim street lights that have been used for many years.

When walking to such a place at night, the word 'chaotic' stands out.

What's even more frightening is that pairs of prying eyes appear from time to time in the corner.

It's just that Xiu walked in it skillfully as if he had been here many times, and those eyes also avoided after he walked by.

Could it be that he really thought that he was free to spend half a day wandering around the old town during the day, right?

After going around and going around, Xiu walked through the most outrageous section of the road, and came to the door of a three-story building instead.

The main body is a brick wall structure, but the outer wall has peeled off in large parts, exposing the red bricks inside.

The roof is reinforced with iron sheets to prevent leaks, but the blue iron sheet has faded, and there are still a few spots of rust scattered on it.

In fact, it can be seen from the rental notice posted outside that this is a rental house, and it seems to have a history~
"It's right here~"

Xiu glanced at the empty stairway, and walked up the stairs on the side.

…………

There was the sound of a key being inserted outside the door, and a figure walked towards the house with the dim light in the corridor.

The figure closed the door casually, and the whole house fell into darkness again, but soon the sound of the switch sounded, and the next second the orange light filled the room.

It's just that the person who came in couldn't help but tremble at the moment when the light came on, and let out a horrified cry.

"what!"

Because there was one more person in the room that was supposed to be empty, what frightened him even more was that person's strange attire.

The man was wearing a black casual coat, and the hat he brought up hid his face in the shadows. He just sat leisurely on the holed sofa, giving off an extremely weird feeling.

The man's immediate reaction was to turn around and want to open the door and run away, but when he really wanted to turn around, he heard such a sentence.

"Kurokawa! The company is very dissatisfied with you~"

The man's steps suddenly stopped, and he stopped in place. At the same time, he looked up at the person who came, and said tentatively:
"who are you?"

"It's not good for you to know too much..." The voice from under the hood was still the same, "You just need to know that I'm here to deal with the bookstore~"
