Xia Xiao and Ah Candle did not go to Yugu in the south, but came to Haikou, the city they once stayed in, by mistake.

The last time I was here was two years ago. Xia Xiao took Ah Candle around to find Hei Huang's whereabouts, wanting to kill him to avenge Shu Shuang. Two years on, everything has changed. They and Hei Huang and even the forces behind her were no longer complete opposites, but slowly communicated, as if they had merged into a turbulent river from the two rivers.

After floating in the air for a long time, the firmness and heaviness of the earth became the best consolation, which made Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu step on it, although they had not moved for a long time, they were extremely happy in their hearts. The clouds in the cloud country are no different from the land, and they can still farm, but they are never the real earth, and they don't have this sense of security.

Blowing the wind with the smell of the sea, Xia Xiao took Ah Candle's soft little hand, walked on the beach, and walked towards the bright lights not far away.

At dusk, the sea is lit up, and the beach is golden and dark, quiet and beautiful. On the high platform not far away, you can hear the sound of the waves and the wind, where it is going to be noisy, and the first wave of people is about to usher in the climax, and the bosses and helpers in front of the stalls are also busy.

The heat of the charcoal fire and the splashing sparks easily drive away the cold of the evening, and the oil bubbles on the various ingredients and the smell of cumin peppers are extremely permeable, making this place very attractive. Coupled with a large amount of oil smoke, this place is still a paradise for Haikou people, and its status has not decreased for a long time.

Whether it is the fair and honest city lord in the city, or ordinary people, after the day's hard work early, they will come here to drink a few sips of wine and eat a delicious meal to treat themselves.

It is said that it is exquisite and high-end, it is not as good as a hotel in the city, there is a lot of dust, and it is noisy all around, and it is a trouble to meet a few drunk lewd men from time to time. Speaking of affordability, it is not as good as the old shops in the streets and alleys. But people come and go, what they eat is the fireworks of the world, and what they drink is the friendship of time.

The neatly arranged tables are lined up from one end to the other, and it is impossible to count them for a while. There were more and more people, Xia Xiao and Ah Candle picked a remote place and ordered a table of barbecue and fish feast. The former is a must-have for every visitor, and the latter is very few people who order, after all, the fish banquet with two words instead of a table of dishes, few big men can't eat it at all, so they are all a la carte. But there were only two guests at this table, and they were so arrogant that the boss couldn't help but lean over, bend down and ask:

"Guest officer, when the other guests come, we will serve the food, so as not to make the fish soup cold and not delicious. ”

"Just do it well. ”

Xia Xiao was actually penniless, but he was imposing enough, his fingers swinging and pointing to the wooden table, his face looking a little thin and angular in the light of the lantern overhead. The light in his eyes was a little cold for some reason, and his bearing was extraordinary, which made the boss nod again and again, and his fat body passed through the crowded tables and chairs unimpeded, looking flexible and funny.

"It's time for a full meal!"

Ever since Ah Candle pulled Xia Xiao over, he had been staring at the open-air barbecue stall on the side, where the seafood would come up before many fish. Sure enough, just half a moment, when Xia Xiao poured tea for Ah Candle and wanted to get two jars of wine, a plate of barbecue was served with hot steam, and the fragrance was fragrant.

"Eat!"

Xia Xiao sat down again, waved his big hand at Ah Candle, making him extremely excited, a handful of steaming barbecue meat in his left hand, and a large oyster in his right hand, the momentum seemed to swallow mountains and rivers, and he wanted to eat it all. This kind of look, Xia Xiao also had it when he went to eat buffet for the first time, but with Ah Candle, he always didn't care about his image, and his appetite soared.

There is everyone here, and everyone is chatting happily, focusing on the bowl in their hands and what they say to each other, just not looking around, which is a matter of politeness.

The rules of the southern country are no less than those of any other country, and they are even a little redundant, for fear of getting into trouble. But there are actually few people like Xia Xiao and Ah Candle who are immersed in hard work, so that the boss looks the same when he serves the food, and he can't help laughing, how many days has this been without eating, or is it that the young lady of the family is too strict with her family to let such a nonsense, and now she sneaks out?

The situation is unknown, the boss doesn't ask, only a word of caution when serving the fishbones, that guy will always choke people, nothing else is stinging, you can eat boldly with confidence.

Ah Candle grinned and said thank you. The boss nodded and left, which made Ah Candle scared for a while. She glanced at her boss, who seemed to be no different from usual, but it made Ah Candle's heart furious.

"We're not going to be discovered, are we?"

Ah Candle wanted to explain, she had paid attention before, but it was a conditioned reflex just now, but Xia Xiao said that it was okay, he kept paying attention, and he saw every look of these guys. The eyes are the most betrayal, and Xia Xiao, who has the strength of the three rounds of fruit, has a strong perception of the qi of living beings, so that he can detect any subtle movements. But soon, the corners of Xia Xiao's mouth lifted and he put away his vitality.

"Would you like to have a drink tonight?"

"Drink! Celebrate our escape. ”

Eat happily today, you don't have to pay attention to health like those high-ranking officials and old people, you can't eat this, you can't touch that. You don't have to count the money in your heart when you order food like a poor person, for fear of spending too much.

Xia Xiao and Ah Candle stuffed it into their mouths as much as they could, and whatever was delicious they had again, there was nothing bad about it, these things were rare in their eyes. In the underground cave of Yunguo, they had only eaten meat twice, because Ah Zhu said that no matter what kind of family has difficulties, they should take some vegetables and rice, not meat.

Xia Xiao felt that it made sense, but she didn't expect Ah Candle to really hold back, every time it was cabbage and potatoes, no matter how fragrant the porridge was, it didn't taste good, but she still pretended to be delicious. The current look is not pretending, every dish is extremely fragrant, which makes him comfortable and praises the boss's craftsmanship again and again.

When the guests at the next table heard this, they couldn't help but glance at them, these two nurseries are really hardworking, in order to attract guests to eat like this, they are not afraid of breaking their bellies?

At first, when you look at the lanterns from the beach, they are quite bright, but when you get used to it, it becomes dark. The light became dim, flickering and dimming, and all the scenes in it became strange, as if they were constantly twisting and moving, long and short, and in different shapes.

The four weeks were paused, but Xia Xiao didn't find out. After a few glasses of wine, it was clear that he was not drunk, but there was a light in his eyes that time paused. He didn't care, and continued to party with Ah Candle, because he knew the reason.

This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, but after being drunk, Ah Candle is radiant and energetic, and his radiant appearance attracts Xia Xiao more than anything. Ah Candle is more beautiful than ever, with bright teeth and red lips, short hair, chestnut sunshine, and fair skin, like a goddess who lives in the heavens in mythology.

Once you get drunk and don't want to stop, it's natural to drink afterwards. He seems to be persuaded by a hundred people that the dishes are just a coordinate, and they must be drunk, otherwise they will not give face, which is the most old-fashioned and practical words on the wine table.

Xia Xiao was just persuaded by his own heart and pushed into the abyss by his own drunkenness. He had to get drunk a little more, and simply getting drunk wasn't decent enough. Xia Xiao didn't know how long he had been drinking, but anyway, he had a jar of wine when he beckoned. One jar of wine, but three bowls of wine, should be drunk six sips.

When Xia Xiao drank all the time, the wine jug in front of him was blurry before he stopped. He held his cheek and looked at Ah Candle, and suddenly he was in a trance, how could she be so beautiful? flawless, like a delicate piece of jade, incomparably warm, without any flaws. At this time, such an excellent being turned his head and looked at Xia Xiao, looking at him.

Ah Candle lifted the corners of his mouth, smiled sweetly, his eyes blinked, and he felt a little silly. She felt that Xia Xiao was a little strange, how did he become two? When she turned her head and looked at Xia Xiao from different angles, he took the paper, stepped forward, became a sunny and handsome young man, and wiped the oil stains from the corners of Ah Candle's mouth.

Ah Candle sneered, pouted and kissed Xia Xiao with a ruddy little mouth, and the weight was placed on him. Xia Xiao grabbed it, like hugging a chubby pig.

Ah Candle lay in Xia Xiao's arms and asked shyly:

"Do you love me?"

"Ah Candle, I know you still think I like Shushuang, but I know who is more important now. I used to be inseparable from Shu Shuang, I think her every move is perfect, I am obsessed with her, she is the ideal of the world, her appearance is overwhelming, her figure is good, her personality is gentle, rational and smart, and she can help me solve everything. But she's gone, out of my lack of ability, so I must protect you. ”

"Do you love me, then?"

Xia Xiao stammered for a long time, but Ah Candle didn't listen to a few words, but just asked again.

"Love. ”

Xia Xiao hugged her tightly, that real feeling warmed her heart, and her cheeks, which were already flushed with drunkenness, were even more rosy, like a glass of precious red wine, which made Xia Xiao intoxicated when he smelled the breath, and couldn't extricate himself.

The space is changing, and it is beginning to distort again. Outsiders came and went, and many of them left without a few glasses of wine. Wine is not a good thing in the eyes of many people, it makes people lose their temperament and politeness. It is very embarrassing to be full of wine and talk badly, and even fall under the table, or sit on the street, lying on the road. But there are still people who get drunk, no need for a reason.

Some drunks got into a big fight, were blasted out of the night market by the boss, and reported to the officials to detain them, and when they came to their senses, they had to compensate for all the losses, and no one was missing. Who can't get along with money when doing business?

In fact, Xia Xiao felt that wine did not take away people's reason, but only paralyzed people's nerves and aroused some animal nature. But spitting out the truth after drinking is definitely a lie, because there are more polite words. Even if Xia Xiao is drunk, he knows what he is talking about, and he will probably be able to remember it tomorrow.

However, many people express their emotions through alcohol, which can also be said to be exaggerated. Just like the elegant man in Xia Xiao's eyes, holding the hand of the man next to him, even if the latter looked indifferent, the words in his mouth were not far from the words "digging out his heart", in fact, how could he dare to dig it out? There was only ridicule in it, and what he said at this time was just some kind words.

I don't usually drink alcohol, but I can say some normal things, and I don't dare to say a lot of things when I can't say them. But as soon as you get drunk, three points can be said to be nine points, which makes people cry, but in fact, they are just taking this opportunity. Just like a poet, he clearly has only two meanings, and when he holds the pen and ink, he will say that people may sigh or be shocked, and his heart is complicated.

In the extremely chaotic thoughts, Xia Xiao's guests changed many batches. It's just that there are only two of him at this table, and the remaining mouthful of fish soup has already solidified.

The weather was already cold, Ah Candle fell asleep in his arms, Xia Xiao couldn't help pinching his soft little face, and when he pulled his palm, it was a quilt made of warm wind, covering her.

Ah Candle didn't move, Xia Xiao looked at it and smiled, staring aimlessly ahead. He seemed to have woken up from sleep, waiting for the Master to arrive. The only one who can play with space like this is Master, and he has already guessed it.

Perhaps in order to make himself happy, Master shielded himself from others. In the eyes of outsiders, they should be talking and laughing, but they have long been drunk and unadultly, and they have slept loudly. It's funny to think about it, Ah Candle's snoring after being drunk was like a scalper, although it was only two, but it scared Xia Xiao just now.

Xia Xiao also has that habit, after getting drunk, every time he gets drunk, he exhales extremely heavily, and his nose and snot have to be squirted out. Now Ah Candle is in his arms, and if he does that, Ah Candle will have to beat himself when he wakes up. Thinking of Ah Candle's angry appearance, Xia Xiao smiled a little, and continued to rub her soft little face with her big hand.

The long wait didn't cost Xia Xiao much attention, he just sits. When the lantern above his head dimmed, he heard the sound of vegetables outside, either slapping a cucumber, adding a plate of vinegared peanuts, and shouting to settle the bill. This is when men are at their most energetic, but when they bargain, they don't have that kind of magnanimity.

The boss said everywhere that he was okay, and he couldn't stop running in eight places. When he ran twice from Xia Xiao's table, on the opposite side of the table, an old man with crane hair and white beard appeared.

The old man is a fairy, with very few wrinkles on his face and an extraordinary bearing. This kind of temperament cannot be imitated by a hypocrite like Wang Jinlong of Yunguo. He looked at Xia Xiao and smiled, the look in his eyes seemed to be praising him, such a stinky boy who can jump is also lucky, he ran to the cloud country and came back.

"Master. ”

Xia Xiao was inconvenient to get up, because there was a candle in his arms, but as soon as he closed his hands, he made a salute.

Qing Xunzi didn't care about this, he waved his hand, his eyes were always on Xia Xiao, and he didn't stay on these food scraps for even a second.

His arrival made Xia Xiao feel a little entangled in his heart, he shouldn't ask a tentative word, not a word. But it's not good to do nothing, so Xia Xiao decided to say everything directly. When he recounted his experience and hoped that Master would show his attitude, he first said:

"You can be regarded as poking a big hole in the Cloud Country, Wang Jinlong came down from the Cloud Country a few days ago, and we held a huge meeting specifically for you. ”

"You want to catch me?"

"Clever, but I can't catch you for the time being. You have killed so many people, but you have to pay attention to the penetration of the power of the demonic path, and don't let it enter your heart, lest you lose control and increase your desire to slaughter. ”

"Master, I will be careful not to let my guard down just because I have the relics of my predecessors. But for a reason, they arrested Ah Candle and tried to turn her into a fertility tool. ”

"I know, he said, although he disguised his shamelessness with the god-making plan, we can all see that the accusation will not be put on your head in vain. ”

Qing Xunzi, as always, stood in Xia Xiao's position when he spoke, which made his heart extremely warm. But when you raise your eyebrows, you seem to have something good to say.
