Chapter 61, The Human Heart
The wind in the early morning of spring is always a little cool, like a pair of young girl's hands, gently revealing the hustle and bustle of the city.
The streets were full of people, and most of them looked hurried, as if they had something urgent to do.
In the crowd of people, people from other countries can sometimes be seen, such as the merchants of the Great Qin Empire, the mercenaries of Tutara, the strong and tall orc warriors, as well as the handsome elves and the solemn and sacred missionaries of the Theros Empire.
In the slightly crowded flow of people, there will occasionally be luxuriously decorated carriages passing by, and ordinary people can only hurriedly avoid the cars of these big people!
Ivan rode a horse and took Wang Mu to walk in the hustle and bustle of the crowd, he smoked a cigarette and hummed an unknown song, looking very free.
Wang Mu sat behind Ivan, looking at the passers-by who were hurrying by, as well as the dizzying shops on both sides of the street, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Ivan, where are you going to eat?"
"It's just ahead, it's almost there. Ivan rode his horse leisurely, spat out a smoke ring very angrily, and replied casually.
Hearing this, Wang Mu couldn't help but laugh, "You just said that." ”
Ivan raised his eyebrows, turned around and said, "What are you anxious about, I'm not in a hurry!"
Wang Mu was amused by Ivan's appearance, although he had known Ivan for a long time, but he still couldn't understand Ivan's character, this guy was sometimes out of tune, sometimes extra serious, it was really incomprehensible!
On the lively street, there are many small stalls on both sides of the roadside, some of these small stalls are selling leather armor weapons, some are delicious and attractive roadside snacks, and some are just selling some daily necessities, these people are old and young, men and women, but without exception, they are all shouting very hard.
"Fish balls, fresh fish balls just out of the pot......" A pale and emaciated white-haired old man, dressed plainly to shabby, with a slightly sloppy body, stood busy in front of the stall.
The old man was a one-armed man, and the years had left many marks on his face, and he boiled the fish balls with great effort with only one thin arm.
Despite this, he still had a strong smile on his face, his thin cheeks were dark, and under his already white eyebrows were a pair of charitable eyes.
Beside the old man, there was also a same old, the same scarred old dog, the old dog was dirty, and it was impossible to tell whether it was yellow or black, so it silently accompanied the old man, occasionally raised its head, and looked at the busy figure of the owner with the only remaining eye.
Wang Mu looked at them curiously, pulled Ivan's clothes, and said, "Brother Ivan, look!"
Hearing this, Ivan glanced back lightly, threw away the cigarette butt casually, he didn't speak, just calmly continued to ride forward.
He has seen a lot of people and things like this......
Thinking of the scene he saw just now, Wang Mu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "That grandfather just now was so pitiful!"
Ivan didn't speak, he didn't know what he was thinking in his deep eyes. Soon, the noisy flow of people on the street drowned out the silence between the two.
The tall and mighty horse quietly carried the two of them through the noisy crowd, "To be honest, sometimes a person is really not as good as a dog." Ivan broke the silence and said suddenly.
Wang Mu could hear the clouds and mountains and fog, and he didn't understand what Ivan was talking about! He asked with a puzzled expression: "Brother Ivan, what do you mean by this?"
Ivan didn't look back, so Wang Mu couldn't see the expression on his face, but just heard him say lightly: "You give the dog a meal, it will remember you for the rest of your life, you help people once, he may forget it in three days!"
Hearing this, Wang Mu frowned, and then fell silent, he was puzzled in his heart, how could Ivan say this?
Not caring about Wang Mu's sudden silence, Ivan continued, "Life is a big wave of sand, what was very confusing before, after a period of time, now I think about it is really nothing!"
"Brother Ivan, you're so strange today!" Wang Mu said with a frown.
Hearing this, Ivan was surprised: "Is it strange?"
Wang Mu nodded heavily, "En!"
The reins tightened in his hand, "Perhaps!" Ivan's tone was a little self-deprecating.
The two continued to walk on horseback, looking at Ivan's back, Wang Mu couldn't help but say, "Brother Ivan, I didn't understand a word of what you said. ”
Ivan sighed rarely, "If you don't understand it now, you will understand it later, because this is the human heart." ”
Just as he wanted to open his mouth to say something again, Wang Mu's words came to his mouth, but he was interrupted.
"It's here!" said Ivan, and then rode to a halt at an alley by the side of the road.
Wang Mu looked intently, the alley in front of him was narrow and dilapidated, and there was a pile of rubble at the mouth of the alley, and a broken wooden sign was poured on the rubble, which was vaguely written - often come to the street.
Seeing this name, Wang Mu couldn't help but feel funny, this broken place is also called 'street'? He looked inside with a curious face, only to see that there were also many sundries in the alley, which made the already narrow alleyway even more crowded.
"Right here?" Wang Mu asked with a frown of brows and disbelief.
Ivan jumped off his horse and said, "Yes! ”
I really didn't expect that Ivan, who loves cleanliness very much on weekdays, actually likes to eat in this kind of place, Wang Mu suddenly felt a big head, "Then you go in and eat! I don't want to go." ”
"You guy, don't talk nonsense and hurry down. Seeing this, Ivan said with a smile in his eyes.
Wang Mu was reluctant in his heart, but he couldn't resist Ivan after all, and under the latter's coercion and temptation, he reluctantly got off the horse slowly.
Ivan found a random place at the entrance of the alley to tie the horse, glanced back at Wang Mu, and teased: "I'm not old, and there are a lot of things!"
Wang Mu was angry for a while, he really wanted to rush over and beat Ivan, but seeing that handsome and underbeaten face, Wang Mu finally held back, after all, there is this indisputable fact between the two, that is, he can't beat Ivan......
Talking and talking, fighting and fighting, Wang Mu had no choice but to give up resistance, followed Ivan, bypassed the stone piles stacked at the mouth of the alley, and walked into the narrow and messy alley in front of him.
Walking into the alley, Wang Mu originally thought that there must be stinky and disgusting garbage thrown everywhere, but what he didn't expect was that although the alley was a little messy and crowded, it was exceptionally clean and tidy.
"How's it going? Isn't it unexpected!" said Ivan, turning his head smugly.
Wang Mu pursed his lips, "That's it!"
Ivan was amused by Wang Mu's appearance, "Hey, you guy, when did you learn badly?"
Rolling his eyes, Wang Muxin said, "It's not the ...... you taught."
