Chapter 3: The Glowing Girl
These steam locomotives were purchased by the first mayor of the town shortly after the completion of the town, and were originally intended to be used for the convenience of residents to and from nearby cities, but unfortunately due to the contradiction between the mayor and the residents of the town, these steam locomotives, which were the best on the market at the time, had to be sealed in a dimly glazed warehouse due to high maintenance costs. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Therefore, these well-preserved stupid big black coarse people can still be used today decades later.
"Hey, I haven't gotten in the car yet. Xia Zhe, who had just left the gate of the town, shouted at the steam locomotives that had been started, but these locomotives had no intention of stopping at all, so they disappeared in front of his eyes under Xia Zhe's attention, leaving behind bursts of black smoke.
"Eh, have you forgotten, but don't you have to go to Aunt Susan now? At least I can have a good night's sleep tonight. Xia Zhe thought about it for a moment and muttered slightly.
In fact, in the past few years, Uncle Jim's family's care for Xia Zhe has comforted Xia Zhe who is wandering alone. This makes Xia Zhe enjoy the life of reaching out for food and opening his mouth now, although sometimes this kind of life is full of "fear", such as some special circumstances and distorted aesthetics of Aunt Susan, which makes her fall into the devil to help Xia Zhe find those objects that are like evil spirits, so Xia Zhe is very afraid of meeting his aunt, and often hides in the gloomy wooden house to escape from his aunt's claws. And the reinforced door was a masterpiece to prevent the able-bodied aunt from breaking into the door with violence.
The one who should be "thanked" the most is Uncle Jim, if it weren't for his bread, Xia Zhe might have starved to death after hiding in the wooden house for so long. Of course, these breads have naturally become the things that Xia Zhe hates and fears the most now and in the future.
"I hope Uncle Jim can come back in full force, even if Uncle can't get me on the locomotive, I believe Auntie shouldn't be too aggressive. Xia Zhe silently prayed for Uncle Jim.
Looking back, Xia Zhe felt that since he could only stay, the first task now was to go back and settle dinner. After all, after so many days of bread feasts, he almost forgot what meat tasted like.
As the night deepened, the town, which should have been quiet at this time, heard the sound of pots and pans colliding. Xia Zhe, who soon came out of Uncle Jim's house, stared at the somewhat deformed pot in his hand and sighed: "I knew that Aunt Susan must have used this thing to educate Uncle again, it must have been quite tragic at that time." ”
Dragging a whole giant beaked bird in front of him to the small square, Xia Zhe decided to do an outdoor barbecue meeting today. Even if he couldn't eat so many things, today he decided to deeply understand the evil "corrupt" style of those capitalists.
Xia Zhe, who was entertaining himself, smiled heartlessly with the pot: "Ho ho ho ho ~ hahahaha!"
At night, the town, where there is only one person left, seems to be more popular at this time.
......
Outside the dark town, a figure with a faint light was attracted by the smell of meat emanating from here.
"I'm so hungry!
......
Looking at the crooked barbecue grill that had been set up temporarily, Xia Zhe casually added some firewood to the lit bonfire, and finally saved the crumbling flames.
After hurriedly setting up the giant beaked bird, in order not to make the only meat become scorched, Xia Zhe, who painted the scoop according to the gourd, tried to recall the various barbecue techniques in his memory, and kept turning the ingredients on the top of the bonfire.
Soon, the barbecue in front of him gradually became golden, and smelling the long-lost fragrance, Xia Zhe's saliva kept flowing down.
Suddenly, there was a sound of cold metal colliding behind him, and at the same time, a serious-sounding greeting came from behind him: "Hello, although I am very embarrassed, can I buy your barbecue?"
A blonde girl in shiny silver armor appeared behind him from the entrance to the town. An aqua blue sleeveless robe hung over the outside of her armor, and the placket of the robe was embroidered with a shield with a two-headed griffon. The hem of the gown reached to the knees, and even though the robe covered most of the body, you could clearly feel the light of the girl in the dark night. At this time, Xia Zhe felt that this soft light actually had a sense of sacredness.
Xia Zhe was frightened by the sudden appearance of the large light bulb, in the face of the sudden appearance of the luminous body, the two people who met for the first time confronted each other silently, the girl waited intently for Xia Zhe's reply, and Xia Zhe was also thinking about why a woman suddenly appeared in the big night.
At this time, the whole town, except for the "crackling" sound of the bonfire on the side from time to time, only a strange silence remained.
The two sides stared at each other for a long time, and with the light emitted by the other party and the bonfire at the same time, Xia Zhe was able to see the girl on the other side clearly.
The girl didn't look very old, with long soft blonde hair, tied in a neat high ponytail, and the rest of the hair that fell on the back of her head was slightly curled up to her shoulders, looking down along the sea, a pair of big amber eyes, as pure and indifferent as jewels in the dim night, just staring at these eyes as if the whole person was about to be purified. And her fair skin, healthy and full of sunshine, matched the glowing armor on her body. What makes people care the most is that the slightly serious expression is matched with the handful of dull hair swaying in the wind on the top of the head, and a feeling of unreliability arises spontaneously.
In short, this is a girl who looks almost perfect at first glance.
At this time, Xia Zhe stood up involuntarily and stretched out his hand to touch the legendary "stupid hair". The blonde girl seemed to feel something, she tilted her head slightly, took two steps back in confusion, and asked again: "Hello, can I buy your barbecue?"
It's just that Xia Zhe once again ignored the other party's question, because when he stood up, he found that he actually had to raise his head to intersect with the other party's eyes.
A strong sense of frustration was born, and Xia Zhe, who unconsciously put on a posture of "frustrated body bending forward", roared at the sky with a loveless look: "One meter seven is not a third-class disability!"
In the remnant thoughts, Xia Zhe suddenly felt a cold iron lump rubbing back and forth on the top of his head, and a wave of kindness from the blonde girl reached Xia Zhe's heart, he raised his head, and a handful of dull hair kept swinging in front of him.
Just when the two were silently communicating in this teasing pet posture, a faint smell of burnt paste wafted in front of them, and the blonde woman moved her nose, and then there was a not very loud, but unusually crisp voice that came into Xia Zhe's ears "Coo~Coo".
The girl's face was slightly flushed with a lovely crimson, which was not very obvious in the night if you did not pay close attention. She withdrew the hand that was stroking Xia Zhe's head, covered her stomach unnaturally and said, "I'm sorry, it's rude, I haven't eaten all day." I've also eaten all the food I carried, so I'm grateful if I can eat just a little bit of it. After speaking, the girl, who seemed to have forgotten something important, added: "Excuse me, what do you call it?"
"Just call me Xia Zhe. What's your name?, why did you get here so late, I heard that there might be a calamity passing through here. Sitting back at the campfire, Xia Zhe replied curiously.
Alvin Cordelia, a hero of the Hero Society, was ordered to come to fight against the White Trace, but in order to prevent the Calamity from going in the predicted direction, he and Lord Reggie, who came with him, decided to split up in order not to miss the path of the Calamity. Due to the nightmare level or above, it has not occurred in several years. As a result, the main resistance forces were too dispersed, allowing the Scourge to take advantage of the opportunity to cause massive losses and civilian casualties. The girl said with a sad face, "At the same time, in order to reduce the burden on the lower part and conserve the physical strength, Lord Reggie will temporarily keep the luggage in the lower parts, so the lower can come here as quickly as possible." It's just that the amount of emergency food that I carry with me is not enough. ”
"It turns out that you are a hero of the Hero Association, but the Association sent the two of you to show that you are very strong. Xia Zhe replied with some excitement, but he didn't wait for an affirmative answer.
I saw the girl who finished speaking, and her eyes never took off the barbecue above the bonfire. Looking at her eyes that had turned into barbecue, Xia Zhe was sure that if it was him on the grill at this time, this guy would not hesitate to coat him with a fragrant secret sauce.
Alwin unconsciously approached the barbecue, and seeing this, Xia Zhe took the initiative to hand over the sauce in his hand to the girl.
At this point, Alwyn no longer had anything in his eyes other than food. She was already eating a lot of food, but she was hungry for a whole day. She hadn't had a cooked meal since she entered the forest, and now she had a rare opportunity to eat a full meal, so in her mind, such an opportunity could not be spoiled by anyone.
Alwyn kept brushing the sauce she received, and she had already entered a strange state, forgetting the original owner of the barbecue.
Looking at the barbecue that had turned black, Xia Zhe had to cautiously approach the girl who had entered a strange state, telling her that the sauce was too much, and that the meat was almost ready to eat. But his words didn't seem to have any effect.
Eventually, perhaps too hungry to resist, Arwin removed the half-golden-browned and half-blackened roast from the grill.
Seeing her fold her hands on the grease-dripping roast meat, Alwin silently read something. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xia Zhe, who felt that something was missing, hurried to his uncle's house.
"You eat first, I'll be back right away. ”
However, by the time he returned with two bottles of Uncle Jim's treasured home-brewed brewery and a few bottles of fresh milk, there was less than half of the beaked bird left. It took a while for Xia Zhe, who was dumbfounded, to understand the meaning of "there is not enough emergency food". With her amount of food, it is estimated that no amount of emergency food should be enough for her to eat in one meal.
Xia Zhe shook his head and sat down opposite Alvin, while handing the milk in his hand to the girl who was immersed in the "struggle". Listening to her vague thanks, Xia Zhe, who was depressed, muttered: "Aren't you afraid that there is a problem with this food and drink, this guy's heart is really big." ”
Looking at the only remaining barbecue, sitting in the deserted town square, Xia Zhe thought, "I can finally sit down and have a good dinner with meat." ”
