The next morning, the two of them, who were still asleep, were woken up by the doorbell downstairs.

"Hmmm......"

Holding Chenming's soft body that was sleeping sweetly, he bent slightly and buried his little head in the quilt.

"Ding-dong-ding-dong......"

Outside the door, however, there was still a noisy doorbell.

"Let's open the door for him. ”

Rubbing his temples helplessly, Chen Ming gently shook off the slightly frowning Shaqiluo, got up and got out of bed, "It's still early, you can sleep for a while." ”

After covering her with the quilt, Chen Ming slowly exited the room and went downstairs in a murderous spirit.

"Dear Mr. Jack, early morning disturbing dreams is not something a good neighbor would do. ”

As soon as he opened the door, Chen Ming said with a cold face, "Is there something wrong?"

"Ahaha......"

Scratching his head a little embarrassed, Jack said, "I see that you have just arrived here, and you are not familiar with the environment here, so I thought about taking you to the town for a walk......"

"Hmmm......"

Chen Ming was stunned and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, my attitude is a little bad......"

"It's okay, it's okay, and blame me for coming too early. ”

Jack waved his hand, pointed to the blue truck parked in front of the courtyard, and said, "If you don't mind, we can leave now, and we can go to the town for breakfast by the way." ”

"Forehead ......"

Chen Ming hesitated a little and said, "I need to ask my ......"

"Go ahead. ”

At this moment, the voice of Shaqiro came from the house, and the girl in a white dress was as beautiful as a mortal elf.

She came to Chenming's side and said, "I'll go too." ”

"Ah, beautiful young lady, we meet again!"

Seeing Shaqiluo, Jack became a little pretentious, which made Chen Ming's face darken, "Mr. Jack, please wait a moment, my lover and I need to wash up." ”

After saying that, he ignored the young man, who had obviously become stunned because of the blow, and pulled Shakira back into the house, and by the way, slammed the door shut.

"Lovers?"

Back in the house, Shakiro looked up, a hint of pleasure on her little face.

"I'm sorry, I just ......"

Chen Ming let go of her in embarrassment, a little flustered and wanted to explain, but the girl shook her head and said, "Aren't we?"

Chen Ming was stunned, and a smile bloomed on his face, "Who would say it's not?"

It didn't take long to wash, and the two took each other's hands and walked out of the house, and when they saw Jack who was already waiting in the car, Chen Ming smiled and said, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting." ”

The young man, who was obviously interested in Shaqiluo, had not yet come out of the crit just now, and pouted softly, "Get in the car." ”

Chen Ming didn't care, opened the door for Shaqiluo, gently picked her up, put her on the seat of the truck that was a little high, and got into the car himself.

"Click......"

With a slight roar, the truck drove off along the concrete road that ran through the grassland.

Looking at the scenery outside the window and feeling the breeze sweeping through the car window, Chen Ming opened his mouth and asked, "How long has Mr. Jack lived here?"

"If you count the time, it's been five or six years. ”

As he drove, Jack said, "I still like the air here more than the big cities." ”

"So, sir, came here from the city?"

Tatsumei smiled and said, "I heard that all the people in this country are followers of great gods, and even miracles can be seen here from time to time?"

"It's so exaggerated. ”

Having said this, the pride on Jack's face was not hidden, "It's just that the good-hearted people are favored by the gods, and they are great enough to give us a lot, and it is difficult for us to repay them." ”

"To tell you the truth, we came here for some things, and we want to go to the Holy See. ”

Chen Ming saw it in his eyes, and he spoke, "Can you recommend me a closer route?"

"The royal capital?"

Jack's eyes narrowed slightly, then opened them, and said, "What is there to do in the royal capital, and it is all occupied by nobles, and if we go to commoners, we will only be sneered at." ”

"Is it still under aristocratic feudal rule?"

Chen Ming frowned, and then smiled, "I also said just now, we are just going to run errands, and we have nothing to do with the nobles, so let's trouble Mr. to talk about it." ”

"Okay. ”

Glancing at the smiling youth, Jack said, "When we got to the town, we talked over breakfast. ”

"Good. ”

The speed of the truck was neither fast nor slow, and after about an hour, when the surrounding grassland decreased, a huge town appeared in front of Chenming's eyes.

The town's buildings are mainly white, with flat houses towering among them, and at the center of the town is a tower-shaped building at the top, with a cross bathed in sunlight at the tip.

On the roads of the town, which extends in all directions, the shouts of vendors and the laughter of pedestrians can be heard.

"It's the morning market, and it's the busiest time in town. ”

Parking the truck on the side of the road, Jack and Tatsumei got out of the car together, and the former said, "So if you want to come, take advantage of this time, if it's afternoon, it's not so lively." ”

"Very good. ”

Chen Ming nodded with a smile, lowered his head and asked Shaqiluo, who was silent along the way, "What do you think?"

"If you think it's good, that's good. ”

As always, there were few words, and Shakiro said, "Let's go." ”

Chen Ming was helpless, looked at Jack, and the three of them walked into the crowded street together.

The vendors on the side of the street were obviously familiar with Jack, and when they saw the young man coming, they greeted the sunny young man one after another.

"I can't see it, this annoying guy is quite popular. ”

Thinking like this in his heart, Chen Ming said, "Why don't we find a place to eat breakfast first?"

That's exactly what I mean. ”

Jack smiled and walked out of the center of the town with Chenming and the others.

The three of them came to a small breakfast room, and Jack said, "This is it, the place I often visit, and it tastes good." ”

"Good. ”

Waiting for Chenming to nod, Jack stepped inside.

"Boss, get three cups of hot milk and help me serve bread for three!"

Sitting at the table by the door, Jack yelled at the busy boss.

"Yes, Mr. Jack. ”

Maybe it's a real regular, the boss also smiled and said, "It doesn't seem like today is the day for delivery, how can Mr. Jack be free to come here?"

"Oh, two of my friends just arrived, and I thought I'd take them around. ”

"If you need help with anything, you don't have to wait until the delivery date, just call me anytime." ”

"Good Mr. Jack, may the glory of the gods shine upon you. ”

Holding three cups of heated milk, the shopkeeper smiled, "Thanks to your help all these years." so as not to close the door. ”

Glancing around. Jack said, "Your life is one of the best in the town. ”

"Thank you, gods. ”

The shopkeeper smiled slightly, "You bring two guests here today, and I will invite you for a meal." ”

"Okay, thank you, boss!"

Instead of being polite, Jack accepted the boss's kindness as a matter of course.

After a while, the hot bread was placed in front of them by the shopkeeper, "Two beautiful guests, enjoy the breakfast that the gods have bestowed." ”

"Boss, if you weren't so old-fashioned, your business should be better than it is now. ”

Jack laughed and said to Chenming and Shakiro, "Eat it while it's hot." ”

Chen Ming first took a piece for Shaqiluo and put it on the plate, then took a piece for himself and ate it elegantly.

The taste of the bread is extremely fluffy, and the faint milky aroma fills Chenming's mouth, and the moderate sweetness makes him not feel greasy if he doesn't like sweets, and he can bake bread himself, but he is sure that the food he makes himself is definitely not as delicious as the shopkeeper.

It's just that the girl sitting next to him, after only taking a small bite, put it there and stopped moving, even her favorite milk, only took a sip.

Chen Ming asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Shaqiro shook her head and said lightly, "It's not as delicious as what you make." ”

Although helpless, but very warm, Chen Ming smiled, "Then let's eat at home from now on." ”

"Hey, isn't it? I'm eating bread, and you're going to feed me dog food?"

Jack on the side couldn't stand it and complained, "Can you still have a good time?"

"I'm sorry. ”

Although saying this, Chen Ming didn't feel embarrassed at all, "Her mouth was raised by me a little bit." ”

"Forget it. ”

Pouting helplessly, Jack said, "I really don't know what good you have, such a beautiful girl, can actually take a fancy to you?"

Shakiro looked up and said seriously and affirmatively, "He is ten thousand times better than you...... No, countless times!"

"Uh......"

Jack's face stiffened, as if he had received some big blow, and even the delicious bread in his hand was instantly unfragrant.

"Well deserved. ”

With a smug smile in his heart, Chen Ming opened the topic in a round-style manner, "By the way, Mr. Jack, you haven't told me how to get to the royal capital." ”

"It's definitely not on foot anyway. ”

Jack said, "Don't look at the country on the map, but if you really want to walk, it's still quite far, and if you want to go to the royal capital from here, you still have to take a train or plane to get there relatively quickly." ”

Nibbling on the bread, Jack continued, "But there is no station or airport in town, and if you want to go, you will have to take the province of Jones, which is two hundred kilometers away from here, and if you are not in a hurry, I will be going there in three days, and you can accompany you." ”

"Then thank you, sir. ”

Chen Ming sincerely thanks, in fact, if he really wants to hurry, he can use magic to reach faster, but in this mysterious country, he needs to do everything step by step, after all, there is still the existence of Shaqiluo by his side.

"No, I don't. ”

Jack waved his hand casually and said, "Helping each other is engraved in the bones of the people of Hestifo, and if anyone is in trouble in front of you in the future, I hope you can lend a helping hand to them." ”

"Instead of believing in the heavenly God, it is better to fear the God ...... in your heart"

Some people believe in the gods of heaven, but they do selfish things and do not harm others, which is their greatest reward to God.

And some people do not worship God in their mouths, but they engrave God in their hearts, and what they do and say is nothing more than preaching to God.

Compared to the former, it is obvious that the latter is more worthy of respect, and Chen Ming does not hate such a person, because he was, too, such a person.

The breakfast wasn't long, and after a little chat, the food on the table was swept away, most of course, by Jack.

When leaving, Jack secretly put the money on the table, and then left with Tatsu Ming and Shakiro without saying hello.

"You're welcome, but the money still has to be paid, after all, in this world, no one owes anyone, isn't it?"

Back in the car, Jack said, "The townspeople are very simple, and we can't use that simplicity to achieve our goals. ”

"I like people who are strong in their beliefs. ”

Tatsu smiled and said, "Mr. Jack, I think we're going to be good friends." ”

"We're now, aren't we?"

With a roar, the truck turned around and returned the way it came.

When we arrived at the lodgings, it was almost noon, and it was the hottest time, so I stopped the car and said, "After lunch, I will drive the sheep to the river to drink, do you want to join us?"

"Okay. ”

Out of the desire to hunt, Chen Ming agreed.

After separating from Jack, Tatsunaru watched the truck leave and said with a smile, "He's a nice guy." ”

"Not bad?"

Shaqiluo's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said, "Why do I think he is a little annoying?"

"What's wrong?"

Chen Ming was puzzled and said, "If you find it annoying, I can not associate with him." ”

"Not really. ”

Shakiro shook her head, turned around and walked into the house, "It's just a deep friendship, so it's not necessary." ”

......

The grassland stars in the middle of the night filled the whole sky very undisciplinedly.

"The starry sky here is also beautiful. ”

Two figures, one tall and one short, snuggled up to each other at the door, Chen Ming looked at the starry sky, and Shaqiluo hid in his arms and slept soundly.

"I can put hell ...... Become what you like......"

Without opening her eyes, Shakiro murmured in a low voice, like a dream.

Chen Ming gently stroked the ends of her blood-like hair and said affectionately, "No, I like Hell now." ”

Maybe once, I liked the world, but now, I like hell for no other reason than you.

......

Time is always imperceptible, and after they get used to the night, they usher in the dawn of surprise.

At Jack's invitation, Tatsumei and Shakira arrive at his residence, which is a wooden house with a courtyard.

Under the sunshine, the dew drops of the distant grassland that had not yet evaporated emitted a faint shimmer.

"The house is basic, don't mind. ”

Welcoming the two into the wooden house, Jack smiled a little embarrassedly, "Living alone, there is no need to go so carefully decorated." ”

"The house, you just like it, Mr. doesn't need to care about us. ”

Looking at the somewhat empty wooden house, Chen Ming smiled, "Sir's life seems very simple. ”

"I'll tell you the truth. ”

Pouring a cup of tea for the two of them, Jack said, "I don't often live at home, and my usual work is to follow the sheep wherever they go, and it doesn't make much difference if I am alone or not." ”

"I feel the same way, and I used to be like that. ”

Tatsumei smiled, then asked, "What about Sir's family?"

"My parents are in the royal capital, and I have younger siblings who also go to school there. ”

Jack laughed, "I'm used to being free, so I found a random excuse and sneaked out of there and settled here." ”

"I haven't been back for five or six years?"

Chen Ming frowned slightly and asked, "Looking at your expression, it shouldn't look like you're emotionally estranged from your family, right?

"As you said, my family and I have a good relationship, but it's good that their way of life is not what I want. ”

"I think of them from time to time, but that doesn't make me give up here, the air, the land, all hold me back." ”

"Sir's choice, though incomprehensible, makes me respect it. ”

Chen Ming smiled slightly and said, "What is that gentleman looking for me to come to me today?"

"Ah, yes, I almost forgot about business. ”

Jack patted his head and chuckled softly, "I'd like to discuss with you, can you postpone your trip for a few days?"

"Hold off for a few days?"

Chen Ming frowned and asked, "Why?"

"That's right. ”

Jack said, "There are five days left, which is Hestifoe's Thanksgiving Day, as a believer in God, we will hold a grand meeting on this day, thank the gods for their protection, coincidentally, I was elected as the chief commander of the event, I need to deal with everything, Jones is a long way to go, it will take about three days to come and go, it must be too late in time, so I want to discuss with you, can we wait until the event is over, I will send you away, and I can also appreciate our customs." ”

"This ......"

Chen Ming hesitated slightly, looked down at the girl who was leaning on him as if she was sleeping, and the girl's little lips closed one by one, "If you want to stay, just stay." ”

Chenming nodded, and returned his gaze to Jack, "We can wait until you're done before we leave." ”

"Thank you!"

Jack excitedly said, "I don't think you'll regret it!"

Chen Ming shook his head and said, "Then since there is nothing to do, we will stop bothering and go back first." ”

So saying, he picked up Shakira and left the hut.

And on the next third day, at the door of Chenming's house, there was another indiscriminate bombardment of doorbells.

Shocked by Jack's sudden attack, Chen Ming came downstairs with a dark face, and looked at the sneering young man in front of him, "Mr. Jack, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, be prepared to bear the wrath of hell!"

"Ahem......"

Jack coughed awkwardly, his eyes dodging, "Here's the thing, there are a lot of preparations on the eve of the event, and we don't have enough manpower, so ......"

"Get out!"
