But as the so-called praying mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind, just when Li looked at Jiang Lin who was picking peanuts with chopsticks and was about to ask the girl what happened before she came to this painting.
An uninvited guest came to the table where the three were sitting. "There is still one person missing at the square table."
"I wonder if I can sit at the same table with you?"
Jiang Lin looked up, and a middle-aged frail scholar wearing round-frame glasses appeared in front of her eyes. Isn't this Xi?
Why pretend like this? And it seems that she has been paying attention to her before, otherwise it is impossible to come here all at once.
Li, on the other hand, could not help sighing softly after seeing the storyteller: "Huo Xike." "Do you recognize me?" Xi's red pupils glanced at him.
"The owner of Zhuoyuan, Mr. Cooking Umbrella, who doesn't know this Poshan Town? You, a storyteller, inherited the garden of that big businessman, and you are the god of Poshan Town." Li said, his voice sounded A bit sarcastic.
Xi:""
Xi sat down, put her right hand on the table with her long sleeves folded, and looked at Jiang Lin who was full of pity. "This girl seems to be a new face, a rare visitor."
"This Poshan town has not been entered by outsiders for several years."
Seeing Xi, who was pretending to be a middle-aged storyteller, talking nonsense to her seriously, Jiang Lin almost laughed out loud
"Yes, I came to this town recently."
"I don't know who is Mr.?" Since she didn't know what Xi was planning, Jiang Lin had no choice but to act with her.Of course, the real situation is that Xi didn't even know that Jiang Lin knew that she was a middle-aged storyteller.
"It's just an unsatisfactory scholar here who makes a living by storytelling." Xi Chao Jiang Lin cupped her hands, her posture was extremely serious.
"Although it's a bit shameless, girls can call me 'Umbrella Boiler', and of course you can also call me a storyteller."
But as soon as the words fell, Li's sarcasm appeared again.
"Mr. is self-effacing. On weekdays, Mr. tells stories to amuse everyone, and only charges everyone a symbolic tea money. The townspeople in Poshan Town admire him very much."
"It's just that the gentleman hasn't appeared in the town for more than a month. I don't know what happened?" "Ahem" Xi held the teacup with his right hand, raised his hand to drink tea, and at the same time concealed it.
"In the past few days, I have been plagued by illness, so I have been recuperating at home." "It was my fault for not letting the servant tell everyone, which made everyone worry." "Really?" Li raised his eyebrows.
"I didn't expect, sir, that you would get sick and catch a cold like ordinary people. It's really strange."
"What's more, normally speaking, after being sick for a month, the complexion on the husband's face is very rosy, and there is no sign of illness on his face."
After Li said this, he closed his mouth, giving people a meaningful feeling.
And Jiang Lin, who heard this, was also carefully typing Xi, who was pretending to be a storyteller, so that Xi kept holding the teacup to her lips and never left.
Xi, who couldn't bear Jiang Lin's eyes, finally put down the teacup. "Little girl, why do you keep staring at the old man's face?" Xi Man said seriously.
Jiang Lin couldn't help but burst out laughing. She never expected that Xi, who is straightforward and cold, has such a cute personality in private.
"Because, I always feel that Mr. is very similar to someone I know." "Oh?" Xi asked curiously.
"Like who?"
"Mr. Mister's eyes are red, and he has pointed ears. He always looks like one of my older sisters." Jiang Lin said with a smile.
"Sister?" Xi pretended to be surprised, but her heart had already been turned upside down.Could it be that Xiaolin has seen through who she is?
"Miss, you are joking. I am already in my thirties, and I am a man. How can I compare with your sister?"
"Really?" Jiang Lin said deliberately.
She continued to stare at Xi's face with a smile on her face, until the other party couldn't bear it any longer, and the waiter who was carrying the food finally came.
And Jiang Lin also looked away, and Xi also took out a handkerchief from the inside of her clothes and wiped her forehead, and at the same time said to everyone with a smile:
"I'm getting older, my body can't stand the heat, and I sweat a lot." "I hope you girls don't mind, please forgive me."
Jiang Lin couldn't help but rolled her eyes when she heard it, and at the same time was a little speechless at how quickly the waiter served the food.Old duck soup, stewed raw chicken, roasted square crispy meat, lamb square Tibetan fish, aquatic dish hoof, stewed crab meat and lion head, etc., how can these dishes be served in less than 10 minutes!
However, neither Saga nor Li seemed to take it seriously, and picked up chopsticks and bowls to eat.
It seems that the two have gotten used to the rules here.
Saga ate very quickly, and in just a short while, two big bowls of rice entered her stomach.
Seeing that Jiang Lin ate very little, she thought that the other party was the treat, so she couldn't help asking.Although the words that should have been asked, as soon as they were said, they became other words.
"Benefactor Jiang, where are you from outside?"
"Huh?" Jiang Lin, holding the chopsticks, took a look at Saga.
"That's right." Saga continued after eating a few grains of rice off his face. "Since I came to this world, I haven't left for three or four years." "I don't know what's going on outside recently, so I want to ask the benefactor." "Oh." Jiang Lin replied, and Li also looked at it. He touched her and seemed very curious too. "Where is Master Saga from? Dongguo?" she asked.
"Yes, I am a wandering monk from the Eastern Kingdom, who has also been to Dayan, and it is in the territory of Dayan that he accidentally entered this world." Suo E replied.
"Dongguo and Dayan!" Jiang Lin rubbed her head, showing a helpless expression.
"This is really bad. I have been traveling to and from Usas, Casimir and Victoria some time ago, but I have never been to Dayan and Dongguo."
"So it's not clear what's going on there."
"That's it." Cua Gougou couldn't hide the disappointment on her face, but only after a while, the expression on her face became active again.
"Speaking of which, benefactor Jiang will not look much older than the little monk next year." Saga said with a smile on his face.
"I didn't expect to have been to so many countries and seen so many scenery in other countries. I have to say, Xiao
The monk is really envious.
"What is there to be envious of? In fact, all countries in the world are the same. A paradise for the rich and a paradise for the poor.
hell. "
Jiang Lin told Saga, Li and Xi about what she had seen and heard in Ursas, Syracuse, and the countries of Letania
Xi didn't say a word, Li sighed softly, but Saga's eyes widened angrily.
But immediately after, Saga's expression became lost.
"Well, it turns out that not only Dongguo and Dayan, but also other countries outside are no different.""
"What's the matter, master?" Jiang Lin asked, her tone full of concern.
Ji Dexi couldn't help but look sideways at her, thinking how could you be so obsessed with someone you met for the first time?
"The face looks so lonely, if you feel depressed in your heart, you can tell me." Jiang Lin said,
While stroking Saga's shoulder.
This made Cuogougou's affection for her greatly increased, so that the middle-aged storyteller's complexion seemed a little pale.
"Thank you Jiang benefactor for your comfort." Saga was in a better mood, so he continued.
"Also please Jiang benefactor don't call me master, I don't deserve this title."
Sakugo smiled and touched his head, and Akita-style ears moved.
Seeing Jiang Lin's heart itching, she couldn't help masturbating with her hands.
"Benefactor Jiang?"
All the dogs that were licking were blushing a little, and the face of the storyteller was even uglier——
Suddenly, there was a knocking sound on the table, which was made by the storyteller with a fan.
"I don't know, why did Master Saga say that he doesn't deserve this title?" The storyteller asked with a stiff face.
And Jiang Lin reluctantly let go of her hand.
"Because the little monk is not a real monk, he was just adopted by the monastery." After the numbness in his ears disappeared
, Saga's face also returned to normal.
"Well, just like the situation of the Western countries that Jiang benefactor said, in fact, Dayan and Dongguo can be much better." Saga sighed.
"After leaving the temple, the little monk realized that the world is so rough."
"The little monk was also filled with righteous indignation, and he took action to clean up a few thieves who took people's money, and also got rid of some village bullies who oppressed the villagers."
"However, the world is so unpredictable. It is obvious that the little monk punished the bullies who oppressed them for those villagers, but the villagers not only did not thank the little monk, but cursed the little monk for killing them."
"Many times, the little monk doesn't even know what to do when he swings the knife." At this point, the dog lowered his head, and the cute dog ears were pulled down, which is really cute.
Seeing Jiang Lin wanted to help again.
"Young monk often has no clue and doesn't understand the anger of those villagers." "It's not like here." Saga looked up and looked around.
"This place is not disturbed by natural disasters. Creatures from all walks of life follow their own rules and form a circle of their own. It's wonderful. The little monk stays here, so it's not for the sake of peace of mind."
"But the moon in the water is just the moon in the water after all." The pawn shop proprietress Li Tiaoyan said.
"But I didn't expect the master to have such a past. If my family and I could meet someone like the master who is willing to help the poor."
"Oh?" Jiang Lin looked at Li with some surprise.
Unexpectedly, the proprietress is also a person with a story. "I don't know, what's the boss's business?"
Li looked at Xi who was expressionless, and continued:
"I lived in a small village in the southeast of Dayan when I was a child."
"There are no weird mobile plots in the village. The farmland and tile houses grow wantonly, and they are built wherever they are, like rapeseed flowers."
"Although the family is poor, life is still simple and happy." "However, one day, this small village suffered a natural disaster." "The natural disaster did not destroy the town, but it polluted the water here."
"The adults want to rescue the nearby city-states, but only the rich in the town have the tools to leave the town and go to the wilderness."
"Those people left the town, but there is no news of them all." Saga's expression changed: "Are you abandoned?"
"That's right." Li smiled helplessly.
"Those people, and the officials of the city-state, have deserted us."
"Everyone has nothing to eat. The once intimate neighbors have become taciturn. Brothers and sisters who played together beat each other with sharp stones for half a piece of moldy sesame seed cake, and even killed them."
"In order to survive, I have worked hard, looking for berries, looking for small animals, and catching scale animals in the river." Consciousness..." "Until one day, maybe my close relatives suddenly realize that the last use of this skinny little girl is to save some rations for them"
Li stopped talking, but Saga was filled with righteous indignation.Xi Ze remained silent.
"This is the way of the world, this is the way of the world!" Saga roared loudly, but his voice gradually became quieter. "You can't see through this world, you can't stop cutting it."
Seeing the frustrated Saga, Jiang Lin spoke up. "Master, it looks like you are very confused?" "Yes..." Saga said distressedly.
"I have too many doubts in my heart, but I at least understand a little bit. Some answers must be found by myself, and some thoughts must be understood by myself."
"But that's the case, how to search for it, how to figure it out, I really can't do anything." "I'm confused." Jiang Lin also sighed softly, feeling a little emotional for a while.
"For the ups and downs in the world, mature people will say, you should learn to reconcile, understand that you can't solve everything, and then do what you can."
