Chapter 210: It's up to you

The tsundere boy turned his head and first lazily looked at the pedestrians passing by on the street for a while. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Then he turned his gaze to the group of people gathered beneath the sign.

It was a moment before his gaze fell back on my face.

Later, he replied in a low voice: "Xiaoling, you come with me for a walk around the town first!" ”

What does he want to see?

The tsundere boy didn't answer me directly.

I guessed in my mind that he was planning to walk around town and go where he was going.

"But I ......"

I stopped talking, and looked up at the boy with hesitant eyes.

"I know, you don't want to go, don't worry, I won't let you walk a lot," a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he slowed his tone, "It's just that this is not the place I want to go in town, let's go over and have a look." ”

"Xiaoling, how's it going?" He asked me.

"Okay, young master, it's up to you."

I lowered my eyelids and thought about it, and then reminded him, "But we have to talk about it first!" ”

The boy glanced at me and asked, "What's the matter?" You said. ”

"Young Master, when we get to the restaurant, I want to have a delicious meal."

"Yes." The teenager responded extremely cheerfully!

In addition to agreeing with him what I wanted to do next, I also had a reason to want to walk around town.

I'd like to walk around and find out, and his proposal is actually good.

...... I stopped, looked at him with wide eyes and asked, "Young Master, isn't the right way we're going?" ”

If you want to say that I'm a road idiot, I can see it, why didn't the tsundere boy go in the direction of the town center?!

As mentioned earlier, the roads in this town are fairly regular.

Therefore...... Even for newcomers like me, the direction is relatively easy to identify.

He seemed to be walking around the neighborhood with me, not too far from the entrance into town.

As we walked down the street, I casually looked at the shops near the street.

When I saw the people drinking tea in the tea shop, I thought that most of the topics of those people at the moment were also related to conscription.

I didn't concentrate much, but after a walk, I realized that something was wrong, and the young man was going to a ......

The young man turned his head to look at me, his gaze stayed on my face for a moment and said, "Xiaoling, take you to dinner first." ”

Didn't you say meet first?

The eldest young master is going to meet with the people below, why did he change his hexagram again?

I doubt I heard it wrong! What does tsundere mean?!

"Xiaoling, isn't it good to take you to dinner?"

The boy's tone was nonchalant.

He took two steps back and grabbed my arm through the crowd at the head of the bridge.

I could feel his gaze as if it was focused somewhere.

But soon he took it back and dragged me away as fast as he could.

We passed through the crowd and then into a small alley that ran north and south.

There are many alleys like this in front of you.

Some are connected to the street on both sides, and the street is the only way out, while others are dead ends, with exits in one direction.

The boy led me on, tearing off the cloth around my head.

Anyway, I can't get used to seeing myself dressed as a mountain man, but I think it's a little strange that he really ripped it off.

The tsundere boy quietly found a place to throw away the piece of cloth.

I had more questions in my mind, and I couldn't help but look at him in surprise, and was about to ask, when the boy reached out and grabbed my shoulder.

I had a bad feeling, and the next moment I reacted suddenly, and quickly pushed him away and said, "What are you doing?" ”

The young man stood still, glanced at me intently, and said in a soft tone: "Xiaoling, take off this cumbersome coat!" ”

That's right, the clothes I wore were also halfway from the mountain people.

It was too cold in winter, and there was no suitable place to change clothes, so I simply covered the clothes I was wearing.

But the boy's sudden move still startled me.

"Young Master, you've got it in mind...... You won't say a word to me, but all of a sudden! ”

It's not like I'm carrying something, and I can't get my hands free and need his help!

The boy frowned and looked down at his own hand, his eyes a little complicated.

After a while, he muttered softly: "Xiaoling, look at you are really weaker than girls, these thin arms and shoulders, you can't use any strength!" ”

Hey, I've been told by him again, how many times have I said it along the way!

I didn't say much, and quickly tore off the cloak I was wearing.

The boy snatched it from my hand, and was going to throw it away, just like before.

This time, though, he didn't throw it on the ground.

When we walked through the courtyard of a small alley, the tsundere boy saw a rack for drying clothes in the courtyard.

There were about five or six garments hanging on it, and he glanced over and reached out and threw it onto the shelf.

"Xiaoling, continue to follow me."

The boy let go of his hand, glanced at me with the corners of his mouth raised, and then walked up to me.

He's fast, and I'll have to concentrate and increase my speed to catch up with him.

When we came out of the alley, the boy turned his head and glanced deeper into the alley he had just walked.

"Big young master, is it possible that someone in the town is following us?"

I glanced sideways to observe his movements.

In an instant, I couldn't help but be a little stunned when I thought of something, stared at him and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"Xiaoling, don't worry, wait and see."

I thought to myself what I was anxious about, I just wanted to know the reason for his strange behavior.

The boy still didn't answer me directly, but stood on the street and made a look.

I saw his expression as if he was trying to remember somewhere.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for my idea to be confirmed.

"Xiaoling, I remember that there is an old shop in this area, and the food and wine in it are good," the young man said after groaning.

"Xiaoling, you come with me, don't lose it."

"Eldest young master, didn't you meet someone in the town? Listen to you, it looks like you're still in a restaurant? ”

I finally couldn't hold back, but I asked, and reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes.

I think it's a little strange, why are the locations on both sides set, can't we wait until we get over there for dinner? Do you want to find a place first?

The young man turned his head to look at me, and said in a calm tone: "The location is the largest restaurant in town. ”

The tsundere boy threw down an inexplicable sentence and walked forward.

What he meant...... A look of confusion flashed in my eyes, and I stared at him for a moment, then shook my head to myself.

This guy seems to have been a little quirky since he got close to the town, but I can't figure out what exactly he was going to do?

Anyway, he left everything behind, so I had to follow him to see it first.

I'll have to wait and see what the outcome will be.

As for the opportunity I really want to find, I can't judge whether I can find it smoothly or not!

...... Passing through the streets, I kept looking at the shops on both sides of the town's streets.

Occasionally, I would look at the passers-by, and I would observe how their clothes differed from Nanhua Town.

Walking around, the deepest impression is that the shop business in this area is more prosperous than Nanhua Town.

This hasn't been to the center of town yet, and I think business is even more prosperous in that area.

Think about the entrance where we almost came in before, that is the place where the most people enter and exit the town, and I heard the mountain people brother I met in the middle of the road talk about it, and the notice was also posted nearby.

...... The tsundere boy and I turned around and crossed a street, and saw a narrow alley under a big tree not far ahead.

The roads in the town are not difficult to find, but to find these shops hidden in the alleys, you have to know the terrain and people who are familiar with the local area!

I lowered my head and thought about it, saying that the tsundere boy had lived in Suzhou for a longer time except for Xilanan.

This store shouldn't have been a place he'd been to on his way to the Northland before, right?

As I walked in with him, I had this on my mind all the time.

...... The shop is hidden deep in the alley, and when you walk in, you can see about a dozen small square tables in the courtyard.

There are not many guests sitting in the courtyard eating and drinking, and there are only about a dozen of them.

This means that most of the tables are empty.

When I walked into the alley, I felt that my surroundings were suddenly quiet, and the noise of the street outside was cut off.

Now in the courtyard, I can't help but look at them a few more times when I hear the voices of the diners.

Two of the guests sat alone at the table against the wall.

One has his back to me, and the other I can see!

The man's appearance was distinctly alien.

Coincidentally, they all found this place to eat.

I was suddenly surprised to see a stranger here, still hidden in a deep alley.

The young man's gaze swept over the two, the corners of his lips pursed, and his expression did not seem to be very happy.

I glanced at him puzzled, and felt a little strange when I saw the young man's expression.

"Master, it looks like the food in this house tastes good?"

I looked at the aliens, then turned my head to look at the boy suspiciously.

I can't think of a reason...... Otherwise, how could he take me around and walk in such a deserted alley?

Since I'm here for a meal, I shouldn't be disappointed!

I suddenly remembered the scene in Suzhou City, where Yuan Bao took me to forage for food, and it was also a shop in the alley I chose at that time.

It is definitely not the liveliest and most frequented restaurant on the street.

I suppressed the thought in my mind and glanced at the tsundere boy again, only to catch up with him.

"Xiaoling, the dishes will come up later, and you'll know when you taste it!"

The boy replied in a low voice.

We looked left and right, and when we had chosen a table in the corner of the courtyard and sat down, soon the shopkeeper came running to greet us.

The boy was talking to the shopkeeper and asking about the dishes in the store today.

This kind of small shop is no better than the restaurant on the street.

The restaurant serves many guests, and the ingredients prepared every day are considerable.

Small shops like this tucked away in the alley have much less ingredients on stock.

Maybe there will be no more if you order two tables of a dish, so you have to ask before ordering.

From time to time, my head looked toward the table where the aliens were sitting.

There are a few tables in the middle between us and them.

From the angle from which I was sitting, I couldn't see the face of the person with my back to me.

for he bowed his head and drank wine, and did not turn his head to look at us.

After ordering the food, waiting for the shopkeeper to walk away, I turned my head to look at the tsundere boy and whispered: "Young master, in such a deserted and remote place, there are actually people of different races who know about it, isn't it quite rare?" ”

The young man's face sank, and then he looked at me and said, "Xiaoling, it's just because of the timing of our coming...... It's just not a meal. ”

I was stunned for a moment, looked up at him, lowered my head and took a sip of tea from the teacup handed by the shopkeeper.

"The liveliest crowd has left," he paused, and then continued, "so the dishes I wanted to order were gone!" ”

The young man's tone sounded a little unhappy, and I shook my head and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter, young master, let's eat again next time we have a chance." ”

He followed my gaze toward where the two aliens were sitting, and continued, "As for them, they must be just like you. ”

"Where's the same?" I was stunned, they were aliens!

The young man seemed to be thinking about what to say, and then he concluded: "Xiaoling, they are similar to you, they all like to eat, and those who like to eat are willing to look everywhere!" ”

"The shop hidden in the corner may not be known to the general public."

"They may have inquired with regular customers living in the town, and after hearing about it, they came to try it."

...... I waited patiently at the table, waiting for the boy to order.

Not long after, the shopkeeper himself came over, and he looked at us with a little apology in his eyes.

The shopkeeper said in a gentle tone: "The fish kitchen you ordered is gone." ”

"You didn't mention it when you ordered it just now."

The boy frowned, and his tone was succinct.

"Well, that's right, I didn't make it clear to you before, the guests inside were one step ahead of you, and there was only one fish left for them to order!"

The shopkeeper stretched out his hand and pointed to the room opposite the small courtyard, and there was a faint sound of talking, but it was very low, and he couldn't hear how many people there were.

I paused for a moment, retracted my gaze and looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "According to what you said, it seems that it is not only the people who eat in the courtyard...... Is there anyone else in the house? ”

The shopkeeper looked at me, smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's a few of my friends who are here to eat today." ”

Hearing this, I exchanged glances with the tsundere boy.

"That's it, I'll ask the cook to cook two more dishes later, which can be regarded as a gift."

The shopkeeper immediately came up with a compromise.

After he finished speaking, he looked at us with a little inquiry in his eyes, especially the tsundere boy.

It seems that the shopkeeper is very discerning.

I looked at both of the tsundere boy and him, and saw that this uncle was the one who paid the money, and he had to have the final say.

Unexpectedly, the tsundere boy immediately threw the question at me.

"Xiaoling, this meal is what you want to eat, and it's up to you to decide how to do it!"

The young man rarely used a particularly gentle tone, and deliberately moved closer to me as he spoke.

I hurriedly moved, not looking at his face, and said to the shopkeeper: "Just do what you say." (To be continued.) )
