Chapter 77: Little Sparrow
The set layout in the Floating Island Inn is basically the same as in Backlight City, simple and simple, the gray tables and chairs look like old antiques, and there are a lot of dried chili peppers and garlic hanging on the walls, which is even more rustic.
Looking up at the opposite side, the decoration of the grocery store with the open door is very exquisite. Not to mention the other more luxurious shops that Han Leng has seen along the way.
"What are you looking at? Have some tea. Li Youcai put down some pastries in his hand, lifted the teapot and poured a bowl of hot tea for Han Leng.
"You guys are so shabby here, why don't you decorate it well?" Han Leng asked what he was thinking, "The rent of the shops in Junzi City shouldn't be cheap!" β
Li Youcai looked at Han Leng a little strangely: "Who told you that this is the Gentleman's City?" β
Han Leng looked at him suspiciously, not understanding what he meant.
"This is the city of backlight." Li Youcai said.
"How is that possible? I was in the Gentleman's City before. Han Leng said, "And isn't the City of Backlight in the Twelve Continents on the Clouds?" Could it be that you can reach the twelve continents on the clouds without passing through the world fragments? β
Li Youcai paused, as if sorting out his language.
Han Leng continued to ask: "Also, why was I still pulled here even though I didn't encounter any shadows?" β
Li Youcai shook his head and said, "Then I don't know." β
"You really don't know? Still don't want to say? Han Leng looked at Li Youcai with some disbelief.
"If you can come here, it proves that you have encountered the 'shadow', but I really don't know how you encountered the shadow."
As he spoke, Li Youcai pointed outside.
"It's all shadows outside."
He gestured to the other diners in the room and lowered his voice.
"These are shadows, too, but because this is a special place, they can act like normal people. But when they leave this door, they will become the slaves of that man again......"
Seeing what Han Leng wanted to ask, Li Youcai hurriedly said, "Don't ask me, ask me, I can't reveal too much." Anyway, when the time comes, you'll know. β
"In that case, send me out. I still have a lot of things to do. β
Seeing that Li Youcai looked like he would never speak, Han Leng didn't want to waste time here, after all, the study task was heavy now, and there was not much time to come up, so he had to rush to test the feasibility of the swamp boat race now.
Li Youcai nodded and grabbed Han Leng's shoulder.
In front of him, darkness descended in an instant, and then disappeared in an instant.
Han Leng found himself lying in a dark corner.
I was about to stand up, but I felt a little dizzy.
On closer inspection, it turned out that he was in a drunken state.
"You have to be more careful in the future, the Floating Island Inn doesn't happen to be open every time."
Li Youcai's advice came from the side, but Han Leng didn't hear it too clearly, so he nodded involuntarily.
After a while, the drunkenness became a little lighter, Han Leng staggered to his feet, found a pharmacy, and bought antidote pills to take.
In reality, Han Leng has never been drunk, because now you need to hold an ID card to buy tobacco and alcohol, and you have to be an adult. I heard that it wasn't so strict before, but as society has become more and more progressive, the rules have become stricter.
However, according to the book, tobacco and alcohol will indeed affect people's growth and development to a certain extent, so it is better to use it sparingly.
Fortunately, the sensory experience in the game is simulated, so it doesn't actually cause any damage to the human body in reality.
It's just that there will still be a reminder in the game to avoid drinking addiction.
The night is dark and dangerous, and it seems that we will have to wait until dawn tomorrow to return to Lijia Village.
Walking through the crowded street, Han Leng came to the small courtyard called 'Shuqin Embroidery Workshop'.
Because he was not invited, Han Leng, as a player, could not go in directly, so he could only lean against the wall by the courtyard gate and wait.
With the swamp ship in mind, time passed quickly.
The lights in the city faded and the sky rose.
A burst of laughter among women interrupted Han Leng's thoughts.
Then, a woman with a big shoulder and a thick waist crossed the threshold of the courtyard gate, carrying two large bamboo baskets in her hands, twisting her head and talking to the people behind her.
Behind the stout woman was a group of women, both old and young, laughing around a girl with some freckles on her face, and the freckled girl blushed and argued.
Because the stout woman just blocked Han Leng after being discharged from the hospital, a group of people walked past Han Leng like this, and no one noticed Han Leng leaning against the wall behind the stout woman.
Han Leng was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to call out to the freckled girl.
But thinking that the opening of Gentleman's City is only temporary, after that, you will either wait for the next opening, or wait for level fifty. It's unpredictable.
Adhering to the idea of solving the problem as soon as possible, Han Leng spoke up.
"Girls, wait!"
The women turned their heads at the sound.
"Alas... Hey... Isn't this the boy our little finch longs for! The stout woman recognized Han Leng at a glance, who had entrusted her to deliver something, and said with a smile.
As soon as she said this, it made Han Leng a little embarrassed.
"Eldest sister, don't talk nonsense. Someone else has a fiancΓ©e. The freckled girl hurriedly tugged at the sleeve of the stout woman's coat and said busily.
"Isn't that what you imagined?" Another woman laughed.
The freckled girl panicked and hurriedly covered her mouth.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it. By the way, Outside Boy, is there something you called us to stop? The stout woman asked Han Leng.
"I'm actually here for this girl." Han Leng looked at the freckled girl.
Although he knew that saying this would cause misunderstanding, Han Leng had no choice but to solve it quickly.
Sure enough, a group of women began to laugh, constantly looking at Han Leng and the freckled girl.
The freckled girl's face was flushed with joy, and she pushed the other women to leave first, and she caught up with herself.
Seeing the stout woman leaving with a group of women fighting, Han Leng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Do you have anything to do with me?" The freckled girl asked.
Han Leng looked at the coarse linen clothes on her body and asked, "Did you encounter anything strange last night?" β
Hearing the sound, the freckled girl's face turned red again, and she said in a panic: "No... Nope! β
"Then after we met on the street last night, have you seen any strange people, just the kind of people who can't see clearly, and the shadows are dark or something?" Han Leng asked.
Hearing Han Leng's words, the freckled girl's eyes widened, and she pointed at Han Leng in disbelief: "You... Could it be that you, you also had that strange dream? β
Dream!
Han Leng was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What dream?" We didn't meet on the street last night, I first patted you on the shoulder and stopped you, I remember you were dressed in pink and white. β
"No, I didn't go out last night." The freckled girl wondered, "After a tiring day, after bathing, I fell asleep, and then I ......"
As she spoke, she looked up at Han Leng secretly, her face flushed. Seeing Han Leng's gaze falling, she hurriedly lowered her head and unconsciously twisted the corners of the cloth with her fingers.
Han Leng thought about it for a while, was it really a dream before the heart path? But when did you fall asleep? Could it be that dark corner where you got drunk?
