Chapter 185: Slowly Expanding Outward
After leaving the courtyard, everyone said goodbye to each other and then dispersed.
Chu Tiannan and Chen Pujia walked side by side on the old streets of the old city.
It was dusk when I came out of the courtyard. The sun sets in the west, and the sun sets in the west. The sparrows were in the treetops and telephone poles beside the sidewalk, tilting their heads from side to side to look at the strange man and woman, chattering to each other as if they were talking about something.
At this time, Yelu Feiguang drove in front of them.
The two got into the car and left the old town. As the car drove through the magic city, the sky was already overcast, and the whole city began to become bright, with bustling streets and brightly lit Bund. Chu Tiannan sat in the car and looked at the night view of the city, with a lot of thoughts.
Chen Pujia looked at him and began to say, "Do you remember the little yang fried house that we used to eat when we were children?"
Chu Tiannan withdrew his thoughts and smiled, "Is that shop still open?" I remember that the shop is on the Bund, and now that place should be every inch of money." ”
"A century-old brand, where is it so easy to close. ”
"Let's go, I just haven't eaten, and my sister will take you to eat raw frying. ”
As the car drove to the Bund in the center of the city, the street trees on the side of the road gradually turned into French plane trees, which became more green.
A small and inconspicuous shop opened in the middle of those ornately decorated shops, and after parking the car, the two walked into the store.
Chen Pujia picked up the menu and ordered a cage of raw fried food on the menu, Chu Tiannan tilted his head and said suspiciously: "Is this finished?"
"You two big men, can you still fry you in a few cages?"
"I'll eat one cage, and you can eat the rest!"
It's just half an hour, and the raw fried is served, fresh meat is fried, shrimp is fried, crab roe is fried, scallops are fried, and leeks are fried....
More than a dozen cages of raw fried fried rice filled their tables, and the aroma was overflowing.
The meals were neatly arranged, and one person was served with a plate of ginger sauce and secret garlic vinegar.
Chu Tiannan sandwiched a crab roe and fried it, and when he bit into it, the soup immediately burst out of his mouth, and the two of them immediately feasted on it.
After a storm, Chu Tiannan sat on the chair and patted his stomach and said, "This thing is so delicious, the taste is really changing, why don't you have this thing in Suzhou and the north." ”
Chen Pujia looked at Yelu Feiguang's appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "If it's not enough, just order two more cages, your northern territory is sparsely populated, except for those who are soldiers, you are still soldiers, where are these snacks." ”
"I just arrived at the Bund, and I'll take you to visit the night market in the magic city later. ”
The two walked out of the store after settling the account, there was a cruise ship on the Huangpu River at night, the lights were bright, the night market on the Bund was not closed, and the bustle of the night market would last all night from the evening, and it would not disperse until the early morning of the next day. Not long after dinner, the streets of the Bund were crowded with people.
Tourists and citizens like to take a walk here, people walk on the streets, people come and go in the streets and alleys, and the Bund Road is the most prosperous street in this area. Hawkers shout loudly, and independent musicians who talk about guitars, drums and sing perform here, and the melodious singing is matched with the bright moonlight, and people come and go, and it is very lively.
The city has been known as the city that never sleeps since the last century, and the Bund is the most lively central area. It's just that this is not the busiest time, the night market is not until 12 o'clock in the evening, when young people drinking in nearby bars and working people who work overtime will come here to have a supper and a glass of cold drink.
As the night darkens, the atmosphere of the city becomes more and more lively. Chu Tiannan and Chen Pujia walked among them, feeling the liveliness of the city, and the wind gradually rose on the seaside.
The two walked to a viewing platform, Chen Pujia and Chu Tiannan leaned on the railing together, and the sea breeze blew her hair.
She looked sideways at him, and began to ask, "The matter on the side of the Demon Capital is almost settled, what are you going to do next?"
Chu Tiannan looked ahead with his eyes and said, "When the affairs of the Demon Capital are all taken care of, go home first." ”
"What about when you get home?"
"I don't know yet..."
Chen Pujia had just been keenly aware of the conversation in the courtyard, she had grown up with Chu Tiannan since she was a child, and she knew his heart quite well.
She stopped, lowered her head, pursed her lips, and clasped her thumb on the first joint of her index finger.
Chu Tiannan took two steps and turned around to find Chen Pujia's strange appearance. He turned back to her and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Chen Pujia lowered her head and applied to be depressed, as if she hadn't heard his words.
She choked up and said, "Can you please not go..."
Without warning, tears began to fall to the ground one by one, and then Chen Pujia's cry slowly became louder and louder from a small sob.
If anyone knew that the woman who was sobbing was Zhu Yeqing from the Demon Capital, I am afraid that their jaws would fall in shock.
After a while, her mood gradually calmed down, and said, "I originally thought that you wouldn't go back after you came back this time, but when I heard those words in the old man's yard just now, I understood it in my heart. I hadn't been on the battlefield, but I could hear it. ”
"What the old man just said means is that there is going to be a war. I grew up with you, I know what kind of person you are in your bones, although you said so to the old man, but as soon as the fight starts, you will definitely have to go back to the north..."
She paused, and then said, "Didn't the old man say that this time it might be a national war, if you go..."
At this time, Chu Tiannan smiled and comforted her: "I am recognized as the God of War, do you know how powerful the God of War is? Do you know that I fought eight God of War by myself in the northern realm? Hahaha... Don't worry..."
"Who is the thing about the battlefield.... Exactly, I know a little bit..."Chen Pujia sobbed and said intermittently.
"A person like you is a man who will do everything, and if there is a war... Are you sure..."
"I'm selfish. ”
Saying that, Chen Pujia leaned on Chu Tiannan's shoulder, with tears on her eyes, and said: "I know you will go, and I can't stop you, but don't go to the battlefield to fight hard, you remember this in your heart..."
Chu Tiannan patted her on the back gently, and said with a smile: "I promise you, my escape skills are amazing, you remember when we were in trouble when we were children, every time I ran in one place, you can rest assured." ”
"Besides, isn't it that we haven't gone yet? You calm down for a while, and then you'll become a cat if you cry. ”
Chen Pujia stopped sobbing, walked away from his shoulder, and looked pitiful when standing in front of Chu Tiannan. From time to time, pedestrians passed by in a hurry, but no one had the leisure to pay attention to them.
Chen Pujia pursed her lips and said, "I know you have to do these things, I'm just a little out of shape..."
Chu Tiannan rubbed his head and quipped: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, didn't the old man say that just now?"
"Besides, it's my turn, and I can't hide from it. ”
Chen Pujia sniffed, looked at him, and said with an extremely serious expression: "You have to come back alive." ”
Chu Tiannan smiled and said, "I must come back alive, next time you will take me to eat Xiao Yang's fried food." ”
On the Bund, countless crowds of people surged, and the cries of vendors and the noise of the crowd drowned out the sound of their conversations, and no one paid attention to them. Even though in the eyes of the world he is the daunting throne of the North, she is now the first person to talk to in the Demon Capital. At this moment, they are just a drop in the ocean, no different from all living beings.
