Chapter 13: Tranquility
Before dawn, the roaring wind of thousands of horses has stopped, the pouring rain seems to be the water put down by God, the passion has passed, to the end, trembling, sparsely dripping a few drops, still unfinished.
The thick and pungent smell of blood has long since dissipated, and the heart-rending screams are as if they never appeared, and the whole city is peaceful and peaceful.
Xiao Ming quietly pushed open the door, used his true qi, blocked the sparse rain, and walked towards the city gate without hurrying.
The road was unsurprisingly smooth, and when I walked to the city gate, the city gate that should have been closed was wide open, and several guards were hiding under the eaves with their arms in their arms, and when they saw Xiao Ming, they didn't stretch out their hands to stop them, until Xiao Ming walked out of the city gate, and one of the guards spat on Xiao Ming's back, muttering, "Damn!" ”
Xiao Ming was stunned.
Behind him, the city gate slowly closed, and finally there was a loud "bang", a little dull, clearly audible in the silent night.
Unexpectedly, there was neither the sound of a dog barking nor the crying of a child, as if everyone had slept very soundly this night.
The whole city is peaceful and peaceful.
————
The road that had just been drenched in the rain was a little muddy, and the four-legged horses had to slip when they walked up, let alone the two-legged people, but on this road, there was a young man who was about twenty years old and looked ordinary, walking like a fly, and the steps were unusually smooth.
If you look closely, you can see that this footstep is actually on the ground, like a dragonfly dotting water, walking forward step by step.
This scene, if anyone saw it, they must have exclaimed a few times, but it was a little unfortunate, a few miles away, the silence was a little excessive, almost to the point where the needle could be heard, let alone anyone.
Xiao Ming seemed to have expected it, there was no panic on his face, he took a steady step and walked forward silently.
The dawn rises, the morning sun rises, and the darkness recedes like a tide.
In the distance came the sound of a rooster crowing, followed by a fierce dog barking, and the world seemed to come to life, and the cries of children, the roars of men, and the scolding of women, mixed together, drifted in all directions.
So, the loud shouts, the shouts of threes and twos, and the bold and rough laughter also sounded, and the world finally showed a smiling face to the people under this world.
I don't know when it was also followed by the sound of insects, Xiao Ming was relieved of his burden, slightly loosened his body that had been tense, and the steps of the dragonfly finally fell to the ground, but he slipped and almost fell to the ground.
At this time, it was far away from Suzaku City, and a nearby town was already in sight.
Xiao Ming exhaled, the true qi in his body has been somewhat depleted, along the way, he has walked quite hard, not that he is afraid that the people of Qinglong or Suzaku will suddenly come out and give himself a knife, the downpour of blood last night has not dried up, so Qinglong will definitely not know Suzaku's intention to exile him, and in Suzaku City, obedient, disobedient, too obedient, too disobedient, I am afraid that they will all die cleanly, and naturally no one will suddenly jump out to find trouble for themselves.
It's just that in a too quiet environment, in the whole world, it seems that there is only one breath left, and that kind of taste makes people straighten up unconsciously. No matter how bold a person is, I am afraid that he will be suspicious and frightened, not to mention his own mediocre guts.
Walking into the town, I found a tavern, ordered a pot of wine, ordered a few plates of side dishes, and didn't catch my breath until I drank a glass of wine.
Not sleepy, just extra tired, but also expected. How easy is it to toss and turn between two behemoths and steal life in the cracks?
It's just that, this time, I seem to be ...... It's on the cusp again.
Myself...... What's so special about it? When two big people who are not merciful see themselves, they want to smile?
In other words, what is the use of himself to these two big people who are competing in the world?
I lowered my head and thought about it, but I suddenly remembered what Suzaku told me with a smile as if he was careless, too smart, but not good.
Fortunately, no matter how thick-skinned he is, no matter how he calculates, he can't be considered too smart.
Then I don't think about it at all.
After making this decision, Xiao Ming suddenly felt a sense of relaxation all over his body, as if he was doing a multiple-choice question while studying, and he chose all C in one go.
Xiao Ming, who was in a good mood, ordered another beef, a few signature dishes, and a pot of wine, and sat on a chair and enjoyed the delicious food slowly.
Since I have cultivated the Liuyun Mind Method, no, it should be that since I entered "The Great Future", I don't seem to feel hungry much, three meals a day nailed to the iron plate on weekdays, I only need to pick a fruit casually in a day, hit a game, and deal with it twice casually to be full, even more so after cultivation, the true qi in my body is endless, let alone eating, I don't even feel like sleeping, therefore, this delicious meal in front of me is very rare for me.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ming couldn't help but want to jump his feet, he knew that he was so good to live in "Big Future", why didn't he want to enter the game in the first place, and ran around the streets all day long with a helmet on his back? It's a hospital and a psychiatric hospital, and it's all about making a fuss.
The steaming signature dish was brought up by Xiao Erma, a boiled fish, a steamed chicken with wine, and a dish being made in the back.
Xiao Ming took a piece of fish meat with anticipation and put it in his mouth. Although it does not melt in the mouth, it is also unusually fat.
Xiao Ming ate the two dishes cleanly after three or two clicks, but he didn't feel anything in his stomach, neither the hunger and the urgency to have another plate, nor the happiness and satisfaction of being filled with food. Inevitably, there are some regrets.
It's no wonder that taverns and restaurants are often deserted and have no business, but in "The Big Future", eating and sleeping has become a feeling, which makes people feel helpless. But thinking about this heaven and earth, there are giant beasts and true qi, and green dragons and vermilion birds, but it is not good to force a crime that is not true enough.
Xiao Ming was not noisy or noisy, with big sparkling eyes, quietly waiting for his last signature dish.
Perhaps moved by Xiao Ming's attitude, the shopkeeper shouted inside, and the last signature dish was served in a timely manner.
This signature dish is a bit like pig's trotters in sauce, but it's not pig's trotters, but something I haven't eaten before, and it smells extraordinarily fragrant.
Xiao Ming struggled to pick up a piece of meat, but it was always in vain, and the hooves that had been steamed for a while were still a little too detached.
Looking around, the tavern was deserted, the shopkeeper went upstairs, Xiao Er leaned lazily on the door, I don't know if I saw someone I knew each other, standing together and greeting. Xiao Ming simply held his hooves and gnawed it.
The taste is unexpectedly delicious, but it seems that the heat is not enough, so it is a little strong, and it is very laborious to bite.
A hoof gnawed down, a mouth full of oil, suddenly, there was a strange movement in the dantian, and the next moment, the abnormal movement was even more violent, like a pot of boiling water, constantly tumbling and galloping in the body.
Xiao Ming was stunned, this is the rhythm to break through?
