Chapter 34: Listening to the Rain Tower

The bustling streets are full of people coming and going, dressed in different ways and representing different identities, from noble nobles to ordinary commoners, mercenaries with large swords and battle armor, and carefree children frolicking on the side. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The streets are lined with a variety of shops, and most of the people who come and go will stop at one place and then move on to the next, and the sounds of bargaining and shouting around are endless.

This kind of atmosphere of facing each other's backs, even if it is the largest trading market in Qingfeng Town, is only a fraction of it.

Xue Yi and Xiao Xuan walked slowly in the bustling streets, feeling the lively atmosphere around them, and there was a smile on the corner of their mouths, how could people who had lived in these small places in Qingfeng Town since childhood not be surprised by the prosperity of a big city.

But even so, the two of them just looked around with joy, after all, their hearts were still relatively calm, and they would not shout loudly in the crowd.

However, this kind of endless street gave Xue Yi a very good opportunity, because the people around him were shoulder to shoulder, he was also a little worried about getting lost with Xiao Xuan, so when he walked forward, he naturally held the girl's slender hand.

"Brother Xue Yi, look ahead." Xiao Xuan tugged at the corner of Xue Yi's clothes, pointed to a building not far away, and said softly.

Xue Yi looked in the direction Xiao Xuan pointed, and what caught his eye was a restaurant, and the large number of people coming in and out of the store showed its popularity.

"Lingyu Tower? It's an interesting name. Xue Yi glanced up at the signboard of the restaurant, couldn't help but smile, and turned to look at her, "What, hungry?" ”

Xiao Xuan nodded with a smile, deliberately covered her stomach, and said, "It's already noon." ”

Xue Yi looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "Before you know it, it's already noon, then let's go to the Lingyu Building to fill our stomachs." ”

The two walked towards Lingyu Tower together, the distance was not far, they only walked nearly a hundred steps, but as soon as they arrived at Lingyu Tower, Xue Yi's nervous psychological thoughts still let go of the hand he was holding.

Xiao Xuan shook the hand that was still being held just now, felt the sudden loss of warmth, and couldn't help whispering: "Stupid." ”

Xue Yi naturally didn't hear Xiao Xuan's voice, and directly found a window seat and sat down, besides, even if he heard him, how dare he say something?

As soon as the two sat down, a middle-aged man came over, put two water glasses first, poured water on each of them, and then put a menu in front of Xue Yi, and asked at the same time, "Guest officer, what do you need?" ”

Xue Yi reversed the menu, pushed it in front of Xiao Xuan, and said, "Let's see what you want to eat." ”

Xiao Xuan smiled at Xue Yi, lowered her head to open the menu in front of her, looked at the name of the dish carefully, and sometimes pursed her lips, looking like a greedy little girl at a glance.

Xue Yi crossed his hands, put his chin on it, looked at the girl who was seriously bowing her head in front of her, and suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart, as if she was in the greenery, and the clear river was murmuring in front of her, and inadvertently, she was a little drunk in it.

The middle-aged man was not nervous, he just stood quietly to the side, perhaps because this Lingyu Building was the most advanced restaurant in Los City, so the people inside were also extremely cultivated, and the people in other restaurants had already opened their mouths, so how could they be so patient.

After a while, Xiao Xuan raised her head, turned to the middle-aged man next to her, pointed to several places on the menu in a row, and said, "I want these few." ”

The middle-aged man answered, skillfully wrote down the number, and turned to leave.

Fortunately, the middle-aged man's voice was powerful, which woke Xue Yi up, and it was at this moment that Xiao Xuan turned his head to look at him and asked, "Brother Xue Yi, the dish you ordered just now is okay?" ”

Where did Xue Yi know what Xiao Xuan had ordered just now, he panicked, picked up the water cup next to him, took a sip, and took advantage of this time to buffer his thoughts, then put down the water cup, nodded with a smile, and asked, "How many dragon pattern coins do those dishes cost?" ”

"Exactly six hundred dragon coins." Xiao Xuan crossed her fingers and calculated carefully, replied with a smile, and at the same time picked up the water cup and took a sip.

"Six hundred?" Xue Yi exclaimed, his eyes suddenly widened, and then he sighed and said, "This Los City, you really can't just come in and consume it." ”

Don't blame Xue Yi's expression, in Qingfeng Town, where he grew up, the average civilian family's annual living expenses are only about 10,000 dragon pattern coins, so calculated, their living expenses are more than 20 dragon pattern coins a day, and more than 700 dragon pattern coins a month.

And the residents of the city, the annual living expenses are about 30,000 dragon pattern coins, and the gap comes out when the living standards are compared, which is why the major forces in Qingfeng Town want to gain a foothold in Los City but are also one of the reasons why they are powerless, after all, they are big forces in Qingfeng Town, but when they come to Los City, they can only be a poor family.

Therefore, although the consumption level of six hundred dragon pattern coins is high in Los Angeles City, it is not an unbearable range, but in Xue Yi's opinion, this simple meal can eat up a family's living expenses for nearly a month.

"What's the matter, Brother Xue Yi?" Xiao Xuan looked at Xue Yi's changing expression suspiciously.

Xue Yi shook his head and smiled: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect it to be so expensive." ”

"Is it expensive? Xiao Xuan will pay attention to it in the future. Xiao Xuan blinked her eyes and said softly with apologies.

Xue Yi heard the vague apology, reached out and knocked Xiao Xuan's head, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, what are you doing to apologize, we have only come out to play once in a long time, the most important thing is to be happy, what is the money." ”

Xiao Xuan smiled with relief and said, "Brother Xue Yi is the best." ”

"When have I been bad with you?" Xue Yi asked rhetorically.

Xiao Xuan snorted lightly, but did not answer, supported her head with her hands, looked at the street outside the window, and said as if to herself: "This Los City is really lively......

After a while, the middle-aged man brought the food.

Before the dishes could be put down in a hurry, Xiao Xuan hurriedly asked, "Uncle, why is this place called Lingyu Building?" ”

"Oh? Lingyu Building, in fact, the origin of this Lingyu Building is not a romantic thing. The middle-aged man put the dishes in place, and explained with a smile: "When the city lord came here to dine, it happened to rain outside, and the raindrops hit the windowsill, ticking and ticking, and the son of the city lord happened to get married the day before, and as soon as he was in a good mood, he gave us the name Lingyu Tower." ”

"I see, such a beautiful name is just the origin of this." Xiao Xuan couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment.

The middle-aged man smiled, he didn't feel much, obviously Xiao Xuan was not the first person to ask the origin and then be disappointed, picked up the plate of dishes, and said: "Thanks to the name given by this city lord, otherwise how could our Lingyu Building become the highest restaurant in this Los City." ”

"It turns out that this is the most exclusive restaurant in Los Angeles City, no wonder the consumption level is so high." Xue Yi smacked his lips in surprise and said helplessly.

"High level of consumption? Looks like the two aren't from Loes City, right? The middle-aged man said in surprise.

Xue Yi nodded and said, "We are from Qingfeng Town, and it is the first time we have come to Los City." ”

"Oh, that's the case, it's no wonder, it's the first time I've come, so I have to take a good look, we have a jewelry seller here, it's called Decoration Accord, it's a good place, and the things in it are quite good." The middle-aged man said again.

Xiao Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had a great interest in this decoration, but Xue Yi just smiled faintly and said, "Thank you." ”

Xue Yi understood that if he continued to talk like this, it would be endless, so he could only give an answer that he couldn't answer, and the middle-aged man didn't care, he nodded with a smile and turned to leave, he knew in his heart that he couldn't keep chatting like this, after all, the guests also had to eat with peace of mind.

"Brother Xue Yi, as Accord." Xiao Xuan said with a grin.

Xue Yi pretended to despise her, but he couldn't help but show a smile on his lips, and said, "Well, eat quickly, I'll go and see it later, I really don't know why you little girls like jewelry so much." ”

Xiao Xuan smiled lightly, didn't answer, took a piece of meat and put it in her mouth, chewed it twice, and said with excitement on her little face: "Brother Xue Yi, try it, it's so delicious." ”

Xue Yi looked at Xiaoxuan with a smile on her face, she was in a good mood, and she tasted a piece of meat, which was really good, and it was almost comparable to what her mother did.

"Hey, do you know that this city of Los Angeles has recently come to an old fairy, who knows the past and the future, just pinch your fingers and count, that's accurate."

Halfway through the meal, the voices of several people at the table next to Xue Yi came over.

"I don't believe that there is such a god."

"Hey, you can't help but don't believe it, this is my own experience, the old fairy pinched his fingers and said that I would have a bloody disaster within five days, no, yesterday was the fourth day, I was wiping my sword at home, and my hand was cut inexplicably." As he spoke, the man shook his hand, and sure enough, there was a piece of gauze wrapped in it, and a little red came out.

"Who knows if it's your psychological effect."

The man sighed, but said no more.

When the other man heard this, this curiosity came and asked, "Where is the old fairy now?" ”

"I don't know this, he walks everywhere, saying that he only tells fortunes for people who are destined, by the way, there are four words tattooed on his belt, which is 'pointing out the maze', and I also found out after a careful look."

"Then do you know what the old fairy is called?"

"What's it called? It seems to be called ...... Bacchus, yes, he calls himself the god of wine, you don't ask me I forgot, look for him to calculate the hexagram, no matter how many dragon coins are given, it can only be regarded as an ordinary hexagram, if it is for wine, it can be counted in more detail, and the better the wine, the more you can ask. ”

A few people around laughed, it sounded like this person was really a little strange, dragon pattern coins can buy wine, but no matter how much you give, it can't compare to giving wine directly, which is really unheard of.

"Bacchus? Do you believe it, Brother Xue Yi. Xiao Xuan swallowed a small green vegetable and asked with a smile.

Xue Yi shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "I don't know, this kind of thing really happened to me." ”

"Let's go when we're done." Seeing that the dishes on the plate were basically gone, Xue Yi said again.
