Two stupid postmodern life

Xuanji 342 spring

The Xiangxiang Restaurant in Tianshui Lane is full of guests and guests.

Although it is the restaurant with the largest area in Shi Ke, with nearly a hundred tables upstairs and downstairs, there is always a long queue at noon.

For this reason, the shop owner had to find a part-time job, and at noon every day, he was responsible for distributing number plates to people queuing up.

The newcomers looked at the queue like a long queue and asked their companions, how delicious the food is, but there is still a queue. There are so many restaurants in Shi Ke, so why?

Really!

In the whole history, there is only Xiangxiang Restaurant, which sells fast food, high-quality dishes, and desserts and cakes.

Locals in Shike know that Xiangxiang Restaurant was originally just a fast food truck. Later, they took over a shop and opened Xiangxiang Cake Shop. Later, the boss bought several shops around, expanded and rebuilt , is today's Xiangxiang Restaurant.

The outsider said "oh", looking at the three-storey high-rise building with blue tiles in Gaoliang with complicated decoration: "then eating must not be cheap, right?"

The companion smiled mysteriously: "That's the reason for the queue. The food inside is delicious. The other point is that as long as the queue time is long enough, you can get a discount coupon for food. Many people want to eat good food but not so much." If you have a lot of money, come here and line up, the longer you wait, the happier you are, like us, haha.”

I've never heard that you can make money by queuing. If you have a good relationship, you can wait for as long as you want.

In the shop, Wu Wei, a part-time clerk, wandered between the tables like flowers and leaves, serving dishes to the guests from time to time, with smooth movements and no hesitation.

"Guest officer, here is the fish head pancake you ordered. Due to the large number of customers, the wait is a bit long. This is a side dish from the shop. Please take it slowly."

The guests clasped their fists together to express their thanks, and the surrounding diners were already familiar with the surprise. They exchanged glasses and talked freely, and one of them said, "Do you know that King Semu passed away, and the new emperor came to the throne, the former prince."

"Which year is this an old story, and now you still have the face to say it, did you eat too much wine?"

The companion ridiculed: "Although Semu is closed to the country, but such a big matter, we still have to announce it. Now the world knows it. If you come up with it, what's the point?"

"Don't worry, wait for me to talk about it slowly." The former looked mysterious: "What I want to say is that their new emperor, at the age of 27, has never married, so the courtiers are playing every day to invite the queen, the new emperor It’s just that they don’t allow it, but they were forced into a hurry and disappeared. Now their eyes are being controlled by the regent’s fourth prince.”

The latter looked at the former with suspicion on his face: "Brother, you are so perverted, where did you get the news? Don't you just make up a storybook for me here?"

"Semu is closed to the country, and we are not closed. Shi Ke has many people from Semu to do business. This news is not a secret in Semu. It is spread all over the street."

Although the volume of the two people's voices was not loud, but they were close to the counter, and Li Tiezhu, who was sitting behind the table, heard it and couldn't help thinking.

What happened three years ago, now that he thinks about it, he still feels like he is dreaming.

If it wasn't a dream, how could he lose his two most important family members in just one breath.

Ersha, Jichang, where are you?

Is it true that as Xian Yi said, Jichang is from the royal family of Semu, Ersha was taken to Semu by Jichang.

Then why did you leave him and Jade?

Could it be that in Jichang's eyes, he and Fei Cui are people who can be left behind at will?

It's a pity that Semu is closed to the country, otherwise he must go to Semu and ask Jichang what he thinks.

Regarding these questions, Zhuzi once asked Jade, he was too young to understand, maybe Jade could know?

That day, Fei Cui said a lot, but Zhu Zi only remembered the last sentence. He said, Er Sha will come back, so they have to wait for him here, Xiang Xiang.

In the elegant garden, because the owner has been away from the mansion for a long time, everywhere is a bit depressed, but the vegetable garden is bustling with people, as if all the people in the mansion are concentrated here.

Under the command of Green Bamboo, people loosened the soil and planted potatoes.

Originally, this was Ye Wang's work, but since Er Sha left, Xuan Ye was not in the mansion all the time. Before he left, he said that if he didn't come back when the seeds were planted, Green Bamboo would complete the work for him.

Apart from potatoes and sweet potatoes, no other vegetables are grown in the field now, and the cellar is full of potatoes and sweet potatoes harvested a few years ago. The Night King said, they are all saved, and Ersha will eat them when he comes back.

Lu Zhu really wanted to ask Xuan Ye, when will Ersha come back?But looking at Xuan Ye's indifferent eyes, he was a little afraid to ask again.

To this day, Lu Zhu still remembers Xuan Ye's expression when he came back that day.

Faint, quiet, a bit like clouds in the sky, if you don't pay attention for a while, you don't know where it will go.

The last time I saw this expression was when Xuan Ye returned to the Royal City alone after Xian Kong's battle.

Lu Zhu had seen his expression before, so when he saw it, he felt a little flustered: "Master, didn't you go to Ersha's house? Why..."

Xuan Ye walked around him as if he didn't see or hear him.

That was the only time Xuan Ye lost his mind since Er Sha left.

Afterwards, apart from the frankincense that never came out of the kitchen, there seemed to be no difference in Yayuan.

Xuan Ye has resumed retirement life again, the difference is that the time he is away from Yayuan gradually increases, and Lu Zhu knows that he is now a real border guard.

This time, it has been almost half a year since Xuan Ye left. I don't know where he is now and what he is doing?

Camel bells jingle, huqin iambic, and yellow sand Momo, you can see the golden yellow that can't be seen.

At first glance, I thought it would be a great view.

But what if you keep walking, keep walking... without end?

Here is the place where Shike borders Semu, Jishiya Desert.

How long has it been since a group of people walked in Jishiya Yuyu?

Ten days...or fifteen?

Time here, doesn't make sense at all.

Because there is nothing but sand in front of you.

Sand sand sand sand sand sand sand... sand that drives people crazy.

Although he walked several times, Sama still couldn't stand it. Every time he returned to Tonglan, he would swear that he would never walk this way again, but every time, due to various reasons, he would go back to Tonglan again. coming.

Because, the shortest way from Shi Ke to Tong Lan is through this desert.

As long as you can persevere during this journey, you can reach Tonglan in the shortest time. It takes a month or two for Bihai sports, which saves a lot of time and money.

Therefore, many small caravans like to go this way.

Sama is the owner of this caravan, and he does some miscellaneous business. He travels between the two countries all the year round, bringing Semu's special products to Xuanji, and reselling Xuanji's special products to Semu to earn some price difference. , to live.

Although the road is difficult, but when I think of the rich rewards after returning to Semu, as well as the smiling faces of my wife and daughter, I can persevere no matter how difficult the road is.

As long as you don't encounter sandstorms and sand bandits.

But this time, it seems that there is no such good luck.

Seeing the long-legged, skinny horse running ahead and the masked bandits ready to go, Sama felt her legs trembling.

But rich experience supported him again: "My lords, but money is tight, you can take whatever you want here, we just want to save our lives."

A hoarse voice came: "What if we keep money and life?"

"Then... I'm not talented, so I can only fight desperately." Sama said, pulling out the scimitar on the hunchback: "Mahan, go!"

Before the words were finished, several people had already stepped forward with scimitars in their hands, but the other caravan members retreated while taking out their bows and arrows, and shot at the opponent's horse's belly.

Some horses were shot and knelt down, and the Bandit on the horse rolled to the ground and was cut by the man holding the machete, and the blood spattered on the spot instantly.Although some horses were not hit, they lost their positions and swayed from side to side. The sand bandits on horseback were unstable, and it was difficult to launch an offensive.

The bandit leader didn't expect that the merchant on the opposite side was still begging for mercy one second, and started to do it with a machete the next second. He didn't react for a while, and was taken advantage of, and lost several people.

But after all, he is a habitual bandit, he calmed down after a while, and shouted: "Don't mess up, beware of their arrows, and charge forward!"

As long as you can get close to them, killing these businessmen is not as easy as cutting vegetables and killing chickens.

But he ignored one thing. At that moment just now, the Mahans who were the pioneers had already rushed to them.

"Travel them to death!" the Sand Bandit leader ordered.

The bandits immediately tightened the reins, the horse's hooves were raised, and when they fell, it was the time when these people were bloody.

Everyone in the caravan couldn't bear to look any longer. Although these people were only hired with money and they didn't communicate much along the way, none of them had the courage to watch the living being trampled to death.

The sounds of broken bones and wailing did not appear in the imagination, replaced by the neighing of horses and the sound of blades splitting bones. The moment those people stepped on the hooves, they suddenly rolled on the spot. Get off the horse's hind legs.

After a few operations, dozens of horses were cut down, and the bandit on horseback fell to the ground. Before he could howl a few times, he was cut with a machete and ended his life.

Encountering a hard stubble, the bandit leader whistled, summoned the rest of the troops, and retreated.

A life-and-death battle, as if gracefully turning around the gate of hell, ended so easily?

Sama felt a little confused.

When did the Mahans become so powerful?

Although he was puzzled, Sama still walked forward and bowed to the leader Mahan who stood up and was cleaning up the blood: "Thank you, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. With you, no sand bandits will be able to succeed." gone."

The young leader turned around, wiped the blood on his face, and returned the salute: "It's the right way to receive money, no need to thank you."

The blood was cleaned up, and the plain chin and pale face were gradually revealed. The leader's long and narrow eyes swept over the corpses of horses and humans, and then at the vultures circling in the sky, and asked lightly: "Are we coming soon?" Tong Lan?"

That face was Xuan Ye.
