Songhai City.

Located in the neighboring province of Ningjiang, this city has a long history, in ancient times there were one or two great poets who were able to spread their works to Chinese textbooks, and a few decades ago, in the tide of heavy industry, Songhai City established many factories, and the whole city was often shrouded in smoke from chimneys, and the city expanded for a time, swallowing up many nearby county seats.

But later, with the rise of light industry and the serious problem of heavy industry pollution, a large number of factories in Songhai City either closed down due to poor management or were shut down because of pollution violations, coupled with the impact of the Internet era, the whole city suddenly declined.

To this day, in Songhai, you can still see the huge shadows of the towering chimneys of those abandoned factories hanging down in the sunset, the mottled walls and the production slogans full of the era under the staggered and chaotic pipes.

In the past, a factory supported thousands of people, and there were many schools and shops around the factory, and until now, most of the schools in Songhai still have the words "workers' school" on them.

From the moment Xu Rui arrived at the train station, he felt the decay of the city.

First of all, Songhai City has not yet opened a high-speed railway, Xu Rui bought a green ticket, and it took about ten hours to travel from Ningjiang to Songhai.

The train station was bustling with no people, only a few hawkers symbolically shouting, and passing through the platform with a sense of age, Xu Rui saw the gray sky.

The reason why Xu Rui came to Songhai City was not for the roast chicken in Zheng Weijie's mouth, but to find inspiration for his new work.

After the second season of "Music Girl" is broadcast in October, Phantom Animation will have three months of leisure, and after the theatrical version of "Music Girl" is broadcast at the end of the year, it will not be broadcast until April of the following year, when the third season of "Music Girl" will be broadcast, which is the content of the college chapter.

This is mainly due to the content limitation of the original work.,The current space is not enough to make too much content.,You need to wait for Mr. Shuhai to complete a certain amount of creation.,Then make it.,Strive for perfection.。

During this period, in addition to the production of "Your Name" and an original animation in the preparation of martial arts, the magic animation as a whole will become very leisurely, so Xu Rui is ready to make a twelve-episode short animation to keep working.

He had many options in mind, but after hearing what Zheng Weijie said about the declining Songhai City, Xu Rui gradually gathered his thoughts into a range.

"It's really deserted, I remember when I was a kid I used Songhai soap, but I didn't expect it to be like this now."

August is the scorching heat, the gray sky of Songhai City is a slightly dim sun, the city's greening is not very good, so the streets always seem to be extremely hot, and the producer Cheng Ke, who is traveling with Xu Rui, raised his hand to block the sun, and said with emotion.

The two hailed a taxi at the gate of the train station and came to the hotel they had booked.

During this period, Xu Rui and Cheng Kewei had a conversation with the driver and had a general understanding of the overall situation in Songhai City.

"This is really strange, it is the first time in the past few years that I have met someone who has come to Songhai for tourism, and most of them are either relatives or here to discuss business."

The driver also found it strange.

"I heard that there is a famous roast chicken in Songhai?"

Xu Rui asked again.

"Huh? I didn't expect that there would still be people who could inquire about the roast chicken of the 16th factory, alas, thinking about it this way, I haven't eaten his roast chicken for a long time. ”

The driver said as if he was nostalgic.

"The sixteenth factory was a steel factory before, the owner of the roast chicken restaurant was surnamed Feng, we all called him Lao Feng, he was a worker in the sixteenth factory, and he was laid off after the sixteenth factory closed down, and he started the roast chicken, but I didn't expect to do it better and better, and when it was the hottest, the people in Songhai had to line up to eat at night."

"So powerful?"

Cheng Ke didn't quite believe it.

"That's not it, Lao Feng's roast chicken, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, rich in juice, with a special sauce, fifteen yuan a whole, that fragrant, oops, I drooled when I said it."

The driver said intently as he looked intently at the road ahead.

There are not many cars on the street, which makes Cheng Ke, who is used to traffic jams in the evening, feel a little surprised.

"But later, Songhai became more and more dilapidated, young people went out to work, and those who stayed were old people and children, not only the roast chicken of the old Feng family, but the whole Songhai felt lifeless."

The city of Songhai has shrunk a lot, and the factories that were pioneered in the past have been abandoned, and no one has taken over, forming a spectacular abandoned industrial complex, and these towering buildings are covered with moss, and at first glance, they look like they are after the end of the world.

The taxi quickly arrived at the destination, which is the only two chain hotels in Songhai City, Xu Rui and when they checked in, the whole hotel was deserted, and there were no outsiders in sight.

The hotel is relatively close to the 16th factory, and after cleaning up a little, Xu Rui and Cheng Ke took a taxi to the vicinity of the 16th factory.

The steel mill is always very large, and at night, the dark buildings are like a monster, lurking in invisible places, only a few shops are still lit, but the lights are flickering, and it seems that they will go out at any moment.

Soon, the two found the location of Feng Ji's roast chicken,

There are a few people in the store, wearing disposable gloves, nibbling on the roast chicken in front of them.

Xu Rui and Cheng Ke asked for one first, and just sat down, ready to chat with the gray-haired boss, when the roar of the engine came from outside.

It was like the sound of a motorcycle's engine, but the subtleties were different, and Xu Rui couldn't hear the doorway.

The next moment, the door of the store was opened, and several people in leather clothes and colorful hair walked into the store.

Xu Rui glanced at it curiously and found that these motorcycle rioters were all girls.

They are dressed in a non-mainstream atmosphere at the junction of urban and rural areas, their hair is exploded, they are colorful, their eyes are smoky makeup, their faces are pale, and there are six or seven when they come in, and there is a tendency to smash the whole store.

"Isn't it......"

Cheng Ke was in suspense, shouldn't he meet gangsters to make trouble?

The girl at the head swaggered into the store, glanced at the other customers by the way, and then came to the counter and stood in front of Lao Feng.

"Seven roast chickens."

“...... Burst. ”

Cheng Ke almost laughed, no one expected that these unruly and unruly rampant girls would sit together so obediently, waiting for Lao Feng's roast chicken.

The roast chicken was served after a while, and they were noisy and shouting, dividing the roast chicken, chatting about where to drag race tonight and where to sing KTV tomorrow, sounding like students on summer vacation.

"What are you looking at?"

Out of curiosity, Xu Rui and Cheng Ke glanced at these rampaging girls from time to time, but they were discovered by the leader, she stuffed the chicken leg in her hand into her mouth, swallowed it quickly, and then stood up and walked towards the two.

For a while, the tension was tense, and Xu Rui and Cheng Ke were surrounded by the rampaging girls.
