flower and big devil

Leaving the Dark Duke's garden, Luo Xiu didn't know where the so-called "shoemaker" was, he just walked aimlessly along the cobblestone path that was laid all the way under his feet - it was a cobblestone path It was a small path that could accommodate the next person, and the weeds on both sides of the path made a rustling sound and a slight itching on his exposed calf.

When a group of white hamsters in briefs were chasing and running past Luo Xiu's feet with their short legs, they stepped on the puddles on the side of the road and made the sound of "baji baji", which made the hamsters who had been hiding from the beginning The meat ball under the skirt of the black-haired young man stuck out his head curiously. The little guy, who was as tender as a pig, looked around for a while. When the breeze blew, it seemed to feel that they were already in the Outdoors, it let out a long breath, wrapped its long little devil tail around Luo Xiu's arm and climbed all the way up, finally sat down on the shoulder of the black-haired young man, opened its small Mouth, humming and chirping, he seemed to be in a good mood and sang a song.

Luo Xiu stretched out his hand and poked the meatball on his shoulder: "You seem a little overexcited today, what's so happy about it?"

The meat dumpling let out a chuff, and it made its owner drool all over his face.

Luo Xiu: "..."

Wiping the drool on his chin and face, Luo Xiu had already come to the end of a bush.A bush full of purple berries in front of him blocked his way. This plant looked no different from the berry plants that had been planted in the Dark Duke's garden before. The black-haired young man picked a bunch of fruits and stuffed them into his mouth. In the mouth, the purple, sweet syrup burst open in the mouth, and the whole taste buds seemed to be dancing because of this pleasant taste... They want to eat like milk on the tree, and the outside is covered with a layer of Thin, crunchy blueberry peel.

He raised his eyebrows and threw the remaining half into the mouth of the meatball on his shoulder. When this foodie who probably didn't need to lose weight made a happy chirping sound, the black-haired young man stretched out his hand to push the bushes away, accompanied by With this movement of his, he felt as if he had pushed through a magical barrier instead of a bush—

The sound of the crowd talking and laughing came to his ears, as well as the familiar voice of small vendors hawking, accompanied by the strange calls of various animals... Standing on the hillside, the black-haired young man looked around and saw A bustling street appeared just like this under his feet. From a distance, it looked like any street in the real world. Two rows of shops stood facing each other along the stone road winding all the way down. Decorated with colorful lights, many big red lanterns were hung, and the strangely shaped residents were walking back and forth on the street...

Luo Xiu went down the small slope. When he first came to this lively market, he was a little worried that the strange combination of himself and the meat dumpling would attract the attention of others. However, he soon realized that he really It’s just overthinking—the people on the street didn’t show any bad reaction to his strange combination of “cute boy in a skirt” and “a meatball squatting on his shoulder”—oh, In fact they are strange enough in their own right.

When Luo Xiu stepped on the street paved with bluestone bricks and walked deeper step by step with bare feet, he saw that he was walking slowly, and whenever someone passed by, he would suddenly retract himself. A tortoise wearing a tie in its shell; there is also a woman with big breasts and big buttocks wearing a revealing veil who is standing in front of a shop with flamboyant and luxurious decoration, laughing high-profilely at people, and her hair is as long as a waterfall. At that time, Luo Xiu could easily see that her face was covered with cat-like white fur; many rabbits and pigeons in vests ran past Luo Xiu, but none of them were the one he knew. ——When he was looking around, he saw Mr. Caterpillar standing in the middle of the busiest crowd, smoking a hookah and distributing pamphlets. Just when Luo Xiu was hesitating whether this guy was the one he knew , In order to cooperate with the motherland to crack down on whether he needs to avoid suspicion and detour, Mr. Caterpillar has already taken his shisha from his mouth, knocked on the small chair under his buttocks, and a handful of fireworks fell. It enthusiastically stopped Luo Xiu, and then thrust the booklet in his hand to it under the eyes of everyone: "Take it, Alice, today's is a no-book, if you don't take it, you won't take it."

Luo Xiu didn't know what an unsubstantiated book was, but seeing the enthusiasm of everyone scrambling to get a copy even if they had nothing to do, he still reached out and took the book.

Before Luo Xiu lowered his head to see the cover of the book clearly, he heard an alien hellokitty girl beside him with a cat head, human hands and a monkey body with a bow tie on her head, saying sharply, "Oh, I said Maomao Mr. Worm, why is Sippy not the Dodo and the Duke of Darkness this time? Last time you told us that you would love this Sippy forever, and it is because of this that we didn’t kill Dodo because of you. BE hangs on your wall, it’s fine now, but you just changed me to a prickly bastard!"

The girl's female companion immediately took up the scolding and continued: "Mr. Caterpillar, what about your morals? You can go to any circle that is popular in Xipi, and I can see through you! You are shameless!"

After the two girls finished speaking, they "hummed" neatly and loudly, then squeezed the booklet in their hands and walked away with their buttocks twisting.

After Luo Xiu stared at them (the butts) wistfully for a while, he lowered his head and looked at the booklet in his hand——

First of all, he found the lewd young man with black hair in a maid outfit on the cover familiar.

Then, he opened the booklet, and the first sentence he saw was: The Duke of Darkness smiled charmingly and said, "Are you still satisfied with what you saw?" In the young man's cunt, whisper in his ear "ah so tight you seductive little goblin".

Luo Xiu: “………………………………………………………”

Stretching out his hands to cover the "eyes" of the meat balls on his shoulders, the black-haired young man silently closed the booklet, grabbed the kerosene lamp that Mr. Caterpillar hung next to the booth expressionlessly, and lit the booklet. In the booklet, amidst the jumping flames, he heard Mr. Caterpillar say beside him: "Why are you so angry? This is a novel, and the characters must of course be properly processed artistically."

Luo Xiu: "Oh, hehe."

Mr. Caterpillar: "This time there is no material, I am confident that you and the Duke of Darkness will be popular, you have to thank me, you will be a celebrity in no time—although you are quite famous now, Mrs. Alice .”

Luo Xiu: "Say one more word, I've ruined your business."

Mr. Caterpillar closed his mouth, and the black-haired young man let out a "hum", inhaled and lifted his hips, and walked away along the exit route of the mutated hellokitty sisters amidst the ashes flying in the sky.

After leaving Mr. Caterpillar's booth, Luo Xiu's mind was still filled with a series of discordant and obscene words such as "big", "meat hole", "little fairy".At this time, he passed by a stall that was probably selling candied haws. The stall owner was a middle-aged man with a crane's head but a human body. His stall was full of prepared candied haws. , when Luo Xiu passed by him, he was holding a bunch of candied haws in his hand, shaking his head and said, "Candied haws, candied haws, Boss Xianhe's time-honored brand Tongsou Wuyou candied haws——this young man, do you want a bunch of candied haws? "

After just receiving a round of mental attacks, Luo Xiu was relieved to see this kind of thing that was linked to his childhood. He leaned over with interest to see the difference between the "candied haws" he sold and the ones in the real world. I saw fish eyes wrapped in icing……………

Luo Xiu: "... What is this?"

"Salmon fisheye and sugar are the perfect combination, little girl, don't you want to try it?" the boss asked with a smile.

Luo Xiu abruptly moved his paralyzed face away from the weird dark dish, and said seriously, "I'm not a little girl."

"The ones who wear skirts are all little girls." The boss with the head of a crane said stubbornly, "Maybe you have other reasons to try to convince me that you are a boy, but you can't, I have my own way Standard—you see, I used to think I was an ordinary human or something similar to a human, but after a while I realized that I was a crane."

"..."

Luo Xiu felt that he probably forgot to look at the stone tablet at the entrance of this street when he walked into this street. Maybe it said "Madman gathering place, normal people wait No entry" reminder—this... is barely his fault.

Luo Xiu wiped his face, knowing that he should leave now, but he couldn't walk as if his feet had taken root on the ground, not only that, he also retorted almost uncontrollably: "You know you How big is the difference in appearance from the crane? In fact, I think you were right, you are a human being, but you don’t know why you have a crane’s head, that’s all.”

"But I eat fish." The boss said seriously.

"Humans also eat fish." Luo Xiu also said very seriously, even though he knew that seriously arguing with psychopaths was the first step for him to join this group with honor.

"Really? But I still insist that I'm a bird. Although I can't fly and I don't have feathers, my wife doesn't lay eggs...but I haven't seen me as a human being for a long time—yes, a long, long time It’s been so long that I’ve almost forgotten what I looked like.” The owner of the candied haws seller touched his sharp beak and said thoughtfully, “It’s like the owner of the goose in the stationery store next door or the snake on the street. Girl, we all once doubted that we were human beings, but there is no doubt that Mr. Shoemaker is right, as human beings we have died, and what we have today is another life."

Luo Xiu: "..."

He knew that he was standing here talking to the lunatic not because he was also crazy but because the plot needed to develop.

Look, this one mentions "Shoemaker", the main storyline NPC.

"I noticed you mentioned a man, the shoemaker."

"Yes," said Mr. Xianhe, "that's just a title. In fact, he is good at many crafts. Have you seen my head? I once destroyed my wife and children because of a disaster. Mr. Shoemaker made it for me. Wearing this mask allowed me to regain the confidence to be a man."

"...a mask?" Luo Xiu said, "but it looks real."

"Because people often say that if you wear a mask for a long time, you can't take it off."

The painting style jumped from the men's hospital to martial arts novels without warning. Luo Xiu expressed that he was a little uncomfortable with HOLD, so the black-haired young man narrowed his eyes slightly: "I happen to have something to find him, can you tell me where he is?" ?”

"No."

"..."

"Unless you buy my candied haws."

"..."

The dark-haired young man fumbled in his pockets silently, of course there was no money - now he finally figured out where everything seemed so wrong and finally started: for example, the Dark Duke sent him out to buy shoes as an employee benefit But he didn't give him a penny.

"I have no money." Luo Xiu took his hand out of his pocket.

"The conversation is over." Boss Xianhe took out his candied haws, "Candied haws, candied haws, Boss Xianhe's time-honored Tongsou Wuyu candied haws—this little Sao Nian, would you like a bunch of candied haws?"

Luo Xiu moved his lips, and was about to say something, when at this moment he heard the fleshy dumpling squatting on his shoulder suddenly "poof, chee chee, chee chee" a long string of things, and at the same time he used his little tail to Hooked his neck and dragged him to the side. Although he couldn't understand what it was saying, Luo Xiu guessed that it should be asking him to ask others.

The black-haired young man narrowed his eyes slightly, but he didn't intend to move his feet at all. He tapped on the counter of Xianhe Boss lightly with his fingers: "Did you hear that?"

"Candied haws, candied haws, Boss Xianhe's time-honored brand—what did you hear?" Boss Xianhe turned his head and asked.

Luo Xiu pointed to the meatball on his shoulder: "My weapon is roaring angrily."

Routuanzi: "..."

Boss Xianhe: "..."

Luo Xiu: "Crane blood or something, it's already hungry and thirsty."

Routuanzi: "..."

Boss Xianhe: "Girl, you're not following the script..."

The word "evil smile" suddenly flashed in my mind, and the black-haired young man raised the corners of his lips: "Shoemaker."

"Go straight ahead for eight shops, turn left, go forward for three stalls, and go in to the antique shop on the right. Ask the second shopkeeper who is working for a password, 'the most beautiful thing is not a rainy day', and he will answer you, 'it is the eaves that have escaped the rain with you. '——Ah, little girl, don't go, little girl, I said you have no arms or legs, why do you go to a shoemaker? You can't even afford candied haws, let alone what's wrong, he can't even strands of his own hair For you to see—"

……

"Little girl? Little girl—Xiao Sao Nian?"

……

"Forget it, if you don't hit the south wall, you won't die, so why bother to hang the southeast branch yourself, do evil, do evil—candied haws, candied haws, Boss Xianhe's time-honored Tongshou Wuyu candied haws—this sister, would you like a bunch of candied haws?"
