Chapter 16: The Celebration of Carnival
The thoughts expressed by Gofa's expression could not escape the eyes of Ye Qi and Linda - the former was a keen observation and experience, the latter was completely familiar between siblings; Especially when the door of the underground hall was not closed, the noise came from the bustle, which made the face of the former eldest lady of the Nosd family disappear completely.
As the eldest lady of the former Nosd family, it is impossible for Linda to have no good impression of the Nosd family, especially since she was once cultivated as a patriarch, and a trace of responsibility made Linda have her own hesitation; If it weren't for the fact that the old man Fletcher had done too thoroughly, Linda would never have left the Nosd family easily.
However, from now on, Linda doesn't think there's anything wrong with doing so.
The mother has a smile, and appears in the vegetable market and various delicatessens every day as an ordinary woman, far away from the social circle of those upper classes, but has an indescribable lightness; Locke, the old butler, helped his mother clean up everything in the room and yard every day, and his smile never diminished.
Her brother was even happier every day; And she......
Subconsciously, Ye Qi, who was sitting opposite and picking up the cookies he baked, was filled with the same happiness in his heart.
The Nosods were still running, and they were smiling.
That's enough.
Linda. Nosd smiled and picked up Ye Qi's cup and asked, "Compared to fruit juice, I think milk tea is better...... Do you need a drink? β
Ye Qi nodded with a smile and said, "I'm looking forward to it!" β
Linda. Nosd smiled and walked to the kitchen in the second-floor cubicle - it was just a spare kitchen, not comparable to the kitchen in the basement hall and the backyard on the first floor, but it was enough to make some simple food. Not to mention drinks like milk tea; In fact. As long as the material is sufficient. A campfire that can boil water is enough for the brewing needs of milk tea.
When the milk tea was served, Linda. Naturally, Nosd picked up everything on the table; However, from beginning to end, the young lady did not even look at the invitation with gold edges.
Everything was removed, and only a pot of milk tea was left on the table, and the invitation became more and more conspicuous. In particular, the shiny color is even more eye-catching; Anyone who sees it, however, subconsciously frowns and shakes their headsβobviously, no one here wants to go to the so-called high-society banquet, and the silence and oppression of communication is far less pleasant than a hearty meal and a space to toss around at will, especially at a festival like the Harvest Festival. To go to the banquet of the so-called high society, it is simply torture.
"Do you need me to help you?"
Will be away for nearly ten days. The chameleon, who had understood and dealt with everything that happened in the bar, walked up to Ye Qi's side and asked with a smile.
Ye Qi shook his head and said, "Although your ability is perfect, it is a fact that I am here, and it cannot be hidden...... It's better for me to put up with it, after all, it's only three or four hours! β
The chameleon nodded, but still said his opinion: "That old man Fletcher is not a stubborn person...... He will understand the pain, and, with your current prestige, the alliance between us and the Norsod family has been reversed! β
Ye Qi smiled: "I understand, that's why I'm thinking of a very suitable excuse to deal with...... Hey? β
As he was talking, Ye Qi was suddenly stunned, and then, an irrepressible look of joy appeared on his face, he glanced at the chameleon and said, "Perhaps, I don't have to think of such an excuse at all - the most suitable person is here!" β
β¦β¦
The little man, the big man and Ava walking through the streets of Landingburgh were undoubtedly very attractive, especially the height of the big man and his strong, burly figure, which made the eyes of the ladies attending the harvest festival shine with a hint of brilliance; Compared with the feminine and handsome male style that is popular in Dude and Duo Brown, strong men are more popular in the Bay Area, which is close to the sea.
The little man touched his friend with his elbow and said teasingly, "I think you need to find a lady who can accompany you for the rest of your life...... You see, how enthusiastic their gazes were, they almost melted me; If you give a positive response, I think you will definitely be the biggest harvester at the harvest festival! β
The big man scratched the back of his head, and after being stunned for a long time, he said, "I prefer the barbecue there!" β
Roast meat is an essential part of the harvest festival β not only beef and lamb, but also pork, venison and rabbit, while fish and shellfish are essential in the Bay Area; In particular, some spinless deep-sea fish are loved by quite a lot of children and the elderly; After all, at their age, it is really a bit of a struggle to pick out the fish bones.
At this moment, the big man was ignoring the inviting gaze of the ladies, and looked intently at the fires stacked on both sides of the roadβmost of the food on these fires was provided free of charge, and was roasted by the local residents themselves for the purpose of celebrating the harvest festival, and then invited neighbors and passers-by to come and taste it; Only those grilled food that is originally in front of a cafΓ© or open-air restaurant are charged.
However, the price is also very low, basically a cost price.
It is not without people who make money at the harvest festival, but if you start with baked food, you will be strongly pushed back and resisted by local residents, and even some jealousy; The merchants who had tried to make a fortune from their food at the harvest festival were eventually 'denied' not from Landingburgh, but from the whole of the Bay Area, after all, the proprietors of even the most stingy of Saas Ports today would be generous, though pretending to be amiable.
"I feel that the barbecue here is very fragrant!"
After staring at the barbecue on the side of the road for a long time, the big man said such words, and Ling Zheng looked at his little man teasingly. The figure staggered. Almost fell to the ground.
"Did you do it on purpose? I'll talk to you about women again! A woman among men and women. Do you understand? The little man, with a sense of hatred for iron and steel, yelled at his friend: "You guy, do you plan to live with barbecue for the rest of your life?" β
The big man nodded and said, "Well, barbecue is food, and it must be a lifetime ......"
The little man didn't wait for the big man to finish speaking, and then he pretended to be unable to hold on to Ava's shoulder, and moaned in a low voice: "It's over, it's over." Darlan is destined to be lonely for the rest of his life...... He's so pitiful, and as his friend, I can't do anything about it, I'm so incompetent! β
The silent Ava, at this time, nodded with the corners of his mouth upturned, looking like he completely agreed with the little man's point of view.
The big man was flushed, and he was silent for a long time before he said in a low voice: "I, I...... There are people who like it! β
"What?"
The little man and Ava exclaimed almost at the same time, especially the little one. He stammered and asked, "You, you, do you have someone you like?" β
Ava's eyes were also round, and he said incredulously, "Impossible." We are basically together every day, and it is impossible not to know the truth! β
The big man's face became more and more red, just like a boiled crab, he lowered his head, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Yes, when I was a child!" β
The little man and Ava were stunned for a moment, and after the two looked at each other, the little man asked, "You don't mean that when you were very young, very young, when you still had snot, when you played with one of the girls, right?" β
The big man nodded.
"Oh my God!"
The little man threw up his hand and slapped himself on the forehead; Ava, on the other hand, was completely shocked, as if he had met his friend for the first time, and he looked his friend up and down, and after a while, he asked, "Have you still been in contact with the little girl you like?" β
The little man nodded again and again, and asked, "That's right, that's right, have you still contacted it now?" β
The big man shook his head in frustration and said, "No...... Their family suddenly moved away from Dude, and I didn't have time to leave an address to contact them; But, but ......."
The little man anxiously asked, "But what?" Hurry up! I'm going to be killed! β
The big man replied weakly, "However, the day before she moved away, she promised me that I would come back to me...... As long as I still like her! β
"Oh my God, do you believe that?"
The little man almost groaned, and after seeing the big man nodding very seriously, the little man directly covered his face, looking like he couldn't bear to look at it directly, and Ava, a man who has been habitually silent all year round, also had a strange expression on his face, he opened his mouth, wanted to ask anything but didn't ask anything, and in the end, he could only pat his friend on the shoulder.
The little man, on the other hand, yelled and shouted, "Didn't you look for her afterwards?" Haven't you asked Master Blanc or Master Hessel? It's impossible for Shak to hide things from these two adults! β
The big man was stunned, and he asked blankly, "It's not good to do this...... She said to make me wait, I'll just wait, if I look for it, isn't it ......"
Syllable!
This time, not only did the little man cover his face, but Ava also stood there weakly covering his face, and his eyes showed a look of admiration for his friend.
"I don't think I'm missing out on something fun?"
Just as the little man and Ava were speechless, a voice came; The three of them immediately looked up at the place where the voice came from - in the crowd, Ye Qi, who was wearing a Solar Apostle trench coat and a long knife at his waist, seemed to stand there as if he stood out from the crowd, but the people around him seemed to not see Ye Qi at all, as if it was a reef lying under the sea, which obviously existed, but it could not be discovered at all.
If it weren't for Ye Qi to speak, it would be as if this person didn't exist here at all.
Such a special state stunned the big man, the little man, and Ava, but then they rushed towards Ye Qi and shouted, "Ye! β
And Ye Qi, who was standing there, said with a smile on his face: "Datong, Darlan, Ava, welcome back!" β
Hugs for each other, regardless of each other's grins. Slap the opponent's back hard. loud laughter; Almost instantaneously. The four of them became the center of attention on the street, especially with the little man's occasional 'Stop shooting, my ribs are going to break!' The shouts are even more eye-catching.
However, in a festival like the Harvest Festival, such a bad performance caused some trouble, and on the contrary, people cast a good-natured smile.
"Nice, nice, nice!"
Ye Qi let go of the little man. Looking at the three friends, he nodded again and again - in his blind perception of the fight, the fluctuations of the three friends have all undergone qualitative changes, among which the big man and Ava have almost covered the entire Landing Castle and affected the fluctuations of others, which is undoubtedly only available to the legendary powerhouse, and although the small man does not have such a fluctuation range, his fluctuations are with a creepy sense of tranquility.
And judging from the breath, the little man seemed to be the most ferocious poisonous Jiao that was winding and hovering in the depths of the quagmire, compared to the huge aura brought by Ava's whole person blending into nature. Very weak, even inconspicuous. But Ye Qi was sure that once he fought, when the lurking poisonous Jiao leaped out, it would definitely surprise everyone.
As for the big guys?
Ye Qi was only surprised in his heart, the feeling of standing in front of him, as if he was standing in front of a big mountain, was really a little incomprehensible, Yuan Pavilion Yue Zhi, Wan Qian Jian Wall, but there was a slight difference, as if a greater amount of strength was still brewing.
Soon, though, Ye Qi gave up thinking; After all, such a change is a very good change, and the person with such a good change is his friend, so what else does he need to worry about?
"What's good, you've all left me behind!"
The little man immediately shouted; However, in the face of such a shout, Ye Qi shrugged his shoulders and said, "Datong, you know, my perception is very keen...... Well, it's a bit bad to say that, but do you think you can hide it from me? What is called leaving a big section, at most it is only a step away! β
The big man and Ava were stunned, and the big man asked a little incomprehensibly, "What do you mean?" β
Before Ye Qi could answer, the little man shouted: "Ye, don't say it, don't say it, I haven't been mentally prepared yet, you know that this is a very important matter...... We need to think carefully and carefully...... Hey, Darlan, what are you doing holding me back? β
The little man said something inexplicable that he didn't even know what the road was, and he retreated in the direction of the bar, but after only two steps back, he hit a 'wall', and looked up at the big man who lowered his head, and the little man looked puzzled, and Ava, who had just instructed the big man to block the way, said very quickly: "Darlan has caught it!" β
Sure enough, the little man who had just shown a puzzled expression quickly turned around and was about to flee; However, the big man who had been reminded blocked the way again; The big man, with a dexterity that did not match his body at all, turned around and blocked in front of the little man, and at the same time, two huge palms grabbed his shoulders like iron hoops.
Ye Qi looked at the little man with a smile and asked, "Did you say it?" Or do I say? β
The little man wept and mourned: "I said, I confess, I have found my own wayβbut it was only when we hurried back that I found it...... Before, I was really just at the pinnacle of the Solar class; Believe me! β
Ava asked slowly, "So, why didn't you tell us earlier?" Don't you know that Darlan and I have been thinking about how to explain and comfort you every day? β
The little man rubbed his hands embarrassedly, and said with a hippie smile: "This, this, isn't it too good to be cared for, I don't want to enjoy two more days of care...... Hey, what are you doing? Do? β
Before the little man's words fell, the big man's huge backpack behind his back was placed directly in his hand, and the bag, which was a head taller than him, directly blocked the little man's sight; Ava also took off his rucksack, looked at it, and chose the little man's neck to hang on.
"Ahem, ahem, Ava, you bastard, do you want to strangle me?"
The little man protested loudly, but Ava only shrugged his shoulders and said, "As a punishment for not reporting your knowledge, you are responsible for this section of the road, our salute!" β
"Wait!"
Ye Qi picked up the big man's bag when Ava's words just fell, and the little man who had gained light again in front of him said without emotion: "Hello Ye, unlike these two guys, they don't talk about it at all...... Hey, what do you want to do? β
After Ye Qi put Ava's backpack on the little man's shoulder, he said with a smile: "Hmm, can I trouble you to open your mouth?" β
The little man who didn't know why, in order to win over his only ally, subconsciously opened his mouth and asked, "What are you going to do?" β
"Bite it!"
With Ye Qi's soft drink, a golden light flashed in front of his eyes in an instant, and the little man instinctively closed his mouth, and immediately, the invitation card with the golden mermaid badge appeared in his mouth; And before the little man could react, the salute that had just been taken away was piled up in his hands again, and it was dark in front of him.
"As punishment, the banquet of the Nosd family, you will go on my behalf! After all, you've been there more than once, so you should be familiar with it...... Darlan, Ava, let's go, today's harvest festival, there is still a barbecue grill at the door of the bar, otherwise, we will be complained by the neighbors! β
"Well, is there any meat?"
"Do you have any fresh fruit?"
Ye Qi's voices became farther and farther away.
And the little man who stayed where he was, biting the invitation, and being blocked by his bag, let out a burst of miserable whimpering: "Woo woo...... Woowoowoo......"
Like a cuckoo dripping blood, it smells sad and looks at it with tears - well, maybe you can't see it, after all, it's in the way of salutation.
