Volume 2: A Thousand Miles of Escape Chapter 207: In a different world, this is family
Cheng Liang was overjoyed watching from the sidelines, and finally turned over to be the master, and he had a solid pocket, and said on the side: "It's okay, you can buy it if you like, don't be afraid of Vermilion Bird, silver is enough!"
As soon as he finished saying this, the shopkeeper on the side, a bell-and-whistle proprietress who was dressed up in bells and whistles, volunteered to come to Cheng Liang's side, and looked at Cheng Liang's eyes as if she was looking at her own golden beetle son-in-law.
"Oh, this young master brought two ladies to buy jewelry, then you really came to the right place, our store is a household name in this Nai An City, I guarantee your satisfaction!"
The words of the two ladies were stunned by Cheng Liang on the spot, and before he could come up with a reasonable explanation in embarrassment, the proprietress happily pasted it to the side of Jörmungandr and Suzaku.
"Oh, ladies and gentlemen, please choose at will, you can rest assured, our store has the most complete styles in the city of Nai'an, the most well-made, and you can definitely find jewelry that will satisfy your heart." ”
Jörmungard was also stunned, and subconsciously replied, "Madam?"
The proprietress looked at Cheng Liang on the side, and said with a smile: "This son is not only handsome, but also blessed, with two such beautiful ladies as companions, the jewelry in our store, you can choose at will, it is definitely the most in line with your temperament." ”
This proprietress is really not exactly touting, she originally looked at the three people in this line from a distance, and she didn't take it too seriously.
Take a closer look, these two women are all graceful, shy of flowers, can take such a beauty, or take two of them out shopping at a time, they are definitely big families with a lot of money, absolutely can't be wrong!
"Huh? ahaha......"
Ye Menga's face was slightly red in a daze, and he couldn't say anything.
But I didn't refuse, but I started to listen to the boss's introduction and suggestions very carefully and carefully.
Suzaku didn't say a word on the side.
But I didn't go far, and listened on the sidelines.
'Master, I see you're enjoying it. ’
‘...... Nonsense, any man will enjoy it. ’
'Then which of the two ladies are you going to make the big and the small?'
‘...... I don't understand!'
......
"Guest officer, the dishes you ordered are all ready, please use the son and the two ladies slowly. ”
After an afternoon of traveling, the three of them finally finished their shopping trip, found an elegant wine shop in the city, asked for a quiet private room, and ordered a full table of dazzling dishes.
Running for your life and running your brain is tense, and this material enjoyment is not difficult to fulfill?
Jörmungård looked at the table of delicacies, counting the things she had bought the most in an afternoon, and now her sparkling eyes were once again shining brightly.
All of them are very novel in her eyes, that is, she really doesn't know how to use the so-called chopsticks, and she is clumsily trying to learn.
"Master, why do you use this thing called chopsticks, Miss Ben doesn't use her hands, she can use knives and forks. ”
"Hahaha, follow the customs, there is really no such thing as knives and forks here. ”
"Okay. ”
And beside her, Suzaku was sitting quietly, with his head down, looking at the dark green jade pendant in his hand.
This is the only thing she bought today, and Cheng Liang felt that she was embarrassed to open her mouth and took the initiative to buy it for her.
The jade pendant was mediocre, but the word 'Yi' was engraved on it, but she felt that she liked it unusually, and she couldn't understand the reason.
She put away the jade pendant with her hand, as if unintentionally, and said casually and lightly: "Master, why do they all call me and Jörmungad your wives?"
Cheng Liang and Ye Mengjiade, who were about to feast, instantly stopped what they were doing.
Jörmungad scolded in his heart: This kind of thing that can only be understood and cannot be spoken, why are you stupid firebird saying it!
Speaking of which, as time went by this afternoon, almost door-to-door helped the two of them become Cheng Liang's wife, causing them to get used to it, so they accepted it generously.
Cheng Liang scratched his head with a smile, "Hahaha, maybe I think we are talented men and women, and we look the same age, so we think we are husband and wife." ”
But Suzaku doesn't seem to be satisfied with this one question.
She asked, "Master, why is the so-called intermarriage between men and women of the human race?"
She looked at Cheng Liang fixedly, with a real question in her eyes.
It seems that on Wutong Mountain, after Cheng Liang played with Casey and other demon army warriors about husband and wife, Suzaku was particularly sensitive to this kind of word.
The successive questions caught Cheng Liang off guard, and he replied without thinking about it: "This...... Isn't this the need for the Terrans to be passed on to the next generation......"
Suzaku shook his head, "Then you don't need a marriage match between men and women?"
Cheng Liang looked at Suzaku's serious watch and knew that the other party was really thinking about this issue seriously.
After he was silent for a moment, he seemed to think about it carefully, and then replied with a smile: "Although I have never talked about marriage and children in my two lives, I have never even talked about love, but in my heart, or what I hope, the reason for marriage between men and women is to hope that the other half of the relationship will form a family that belongs to them. ”
Suzaku listened and thought for a moment.
"So, those people helped us to be a couple on a trip because we looked like a family?"
Family?
Cheng Liang looked at Suzaku and Ye Menggarde in front of him, and smiled with relief and satisfaction.
Yes, how can it be so complicated, the two of them and each of the divine beasts summoned by Cheng Liang are indeed like family members now.
In this other world, aren't they the people Cheng Liang can rely on the most?
Cheng Liang nodded, "Yes, we are a family." ”
It seemed that this answer was what Suzaku wanted to hear, and she nodded slightly.
"Hmm. ”
There was a smile in her eyes, which made Jörmungade next to her stunned.
As long as this firebird is a little normal, it is still very beautiful......
"Don't eat or say anything if you have any questions, Miss Ben is just trying it. ”
Cheng Liang stroked his palms and laughed, and also started to move, "Come on, come on, let's eat!"
The wine table was filled with the laughter of Jörmungård and Cheng Liang for a while, Cheng Liang had never mentioned the modern world he lived in to Jörmungandr, and now he was telling it, which made Jörmungård feel extremely novel.
"Well, isn't that plane faster than Miss Ben?"
"Fighting is all about guns, and Miss Ben still thinks it's more enjoyable to fight. ”
"Cosmetics are more useful than rouge gouache just now......? Miss Ben still wants to see it......"
Suzaku listened quietly on the side, and then interjected two sentences from time to time, and for a while it was extremely warm, really like a family rarely traveling to sit at the same table and enjoy the food.
Cheng Liang was not a little stunned.
It would be nice if I could really live like this forever......
"Knock knock. ”
"Guest officer. ”
Suddenly, the voice of the shopkeeper sounded outside the door of the private room.
"Come in. ”
The shopkeeper who opened the door and came in was holding a pot of warm wine.
Cheng Liang was about to leave Nai'an City because he finished eating, and he remembered that he didn't order any wine.
"Is that a mistake? We didn't ask for wine. ”
The shopkeeper shook his head with a smile, "No mistake, no mistake, today coincides with the Longan Festival, this is specially given to you by the shopkeeper of our store." ”
That's not bad, "Well, that's really thanks to the shopkeeper." ”
"Okay, guest officer, you use it slowly, and the small one won't bother you. ”
"Wait a minute. ”
Cheng Liang stopped the shopkeeper who was about to leave.
"What else does the guest officer command?"
"This ...... We are strangers, and we are not very familiar with the customs and festivals here, so what is this longan festival and tell us about it?"
The shopkeeper was obviously stunned for a moment, I was afraid that I really didn't expect that someone had never even heard of the Longan Festival.
He really didn't know that country, but this festival ......
But he glanced at the other side of the table, and the two beauties he didn't even look at twice, and the hair color was rare, and he thought that the other might really be from some place he had never heard of.
"This longan festival is ......"
After the shopkeeper told the story, Cheng Liang knew that this longan festival was equivalent to the Lantern Festival he had had, which meant family reunion.
It is said that thousands of years ago, the human race had a vast country, ruling more than half of the land of the human race, and the national flower of the country, is the osmanthus, the country's royal family to the autumn osmanthus blooming in autumn, defined as the National Day, every year on this day the people of the country can go home and family reunion celebration.
Although the country has been divided and died out over the years, the custom has been preserved and continues to this day.
Cheng Liang felt that it was still in line with the situation.
Cheng Liang: "The shopkeeper said that the streets will be more noisy at night, and there may be some performances or something, do you want to stay and have a look?"
Suzaku shook his head and signaled that he had no opinion.
Of course, Jörmungad nodded in agreement, "No problem!"
"Alright, then we'll stay in this city of Nai An for a few more hours. ”
noisy, full of curiosity, and has a positive attitude towards everything, which is really different from Cheng Liang's cognition, the earthly python that has been hovering alone and lonely underground in Norse mythology......
"Come on, then drink this wine too! Xiaomeng, can you drink?"
"Ahh......h You can try everything!"
Then Jörmungard poured a full cup and drank it as if it were water.
Cheng Liang hurriedly stopped: "Wait! Don't be in such a hurry, slow down." ”
As a result, Jörmungandr had drunk nearly half of the cup.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
A flush instantly appeared on her white and tender face.
"What is this...... It's so spicy ......."
Cheng Liang was amused by her appearance, "Hahaha, don't worry, no one can drink so violently." ”
As a result, as soon as his words fell, Suzaku on the side poured a cup for himself, and took a sip lightly, his face did not change.
Jörmungadīd looked at where he was, and suddenly became competitive.
"It's okay! I'm used to it!"
The open and secret battles between the two of them are staged all the time......
