Chapter 342, Xin'o
Located in the northwest corner of the Grells map, the city of Cin'o is one of the largest cities closest to the border in the region. From here, to the north, another great power, Frantic, and to the west, through the Plains of the Westerly Winds, into the Karakum Desert.
Xin'ao was much more commercial than the surrounding area, radiating with its own prosperity, anchoring it like a nail to stabilize the territory in the corner of Graylls.
Although the population here is not as dense as that of Brilliant City, it is almost the same level as Jiaping City in the west. Ding Xiu's car entered the city, Zhang Hongyi first took the two to a hotel to settle down, and then agreed to come back to be their guide after finishing the business.
The hotel is called "Golden Sunset", which is a slightly exotic dΓ©cor and has some guests who look different from the dark-haired, yellow-skinned Grellians.
"Uncle, they look so weird, why is their hair blonde...... Wow, and the black ones! β
Xiaomi's eyes widened as she looked at some foreigners sitting in the lounge area of the lobby with a look of surprise on her face.
"Those are foreigners." Ding Xiu followed her gaze and said, "Xin'ao is a big city, and the distance from the border is not far, if people from other countries come from the northwest, they will pass through here to go to the hinterland of Grells. β
"Uncle, you know so much." Xiaomi's tone is very admirable.
She followed Ding Xiu to check in, and then the two of them took some important luggage to the room and put it away, and then returned to the hall and rested and waited there.
The little girl sat on the sofa a little bored, and her eyes unconsciously glanced at the strange-looking foreigners. Especially a few dreadlocked sunspots, she stared at their faces and looked at them.
The blacks were sitting at a table not far away, and a stout man facing Millet saw that Millet was looking at him, perhaps a little displeased, he glared back, and Millet shrank in fright and quickly turned his head.
"What's wrong?" Ding Xiu asked.
Xiaomi shook her head, and quietly stretched out her finger and pointed to her right side, "That person doesn't seem to like me staring at him." β
"Who?" Ding Xiu turned his head sideways, just in time to meet the stout black man's gaze. The other party showed fierce intent, and Ding Xiu's eyes instantly turned cold. "Uncle." Millet grabbed his hand and shook it, "I don't look at him anymore, don't look at him either, he's so fierce." β
"Okay." In Xin'ao, who was not familiar with the place, Ding Xiu was too lazy to cause trouble, smiled and said: "It's okay not to look at him, ugly people will get dirty eyes if they stare at him too much." β
Ding Xiu's words made Xiaomi laugh out loud.
"Want something?" Ding Xiu was waiting for Zhang Hongyi here, so he planned to order a drink to pass the time.
"Water." Millet has never had a drink, and she has no concept of a drink.
Ding Xiu beckoned to the waiter and motioned for the other party to bring the list.
"Why don't you drink this?" He pointed to the dragon juice on the list and suggested, "This one tastes pretty good." β
"What is dragon fruit?" It's the first time Millet has heard the name, "Is it a fruit eaten by a fire-breathing dragon?" Will we be able to breathe fire if we eat it? β
The little girl's series of questions made Ding Xiu cry and laugh, and Ding Xiu could only patiently explain to her that there was no fire-breathing dragon in the world, and that dragon fruit was just the name of a fruit.
"Then dragon juice." Millet nodded.
The waiter made the juice, and when he was serving it, he was suddenly stopped by the black man who had scared Xiaomi with his gaze earlier. The black man snatched the plate from her hand, smiled [ www.biqugetv.xyz] good-naturedly, and said, "I'll bring it for you." β
Before the waiter could react, the plate with the juice was out of her hand, she was stunned, and the figure of the black man had already arrived next to Ding Xiu.
"Hey, sissy, here's the juice you ordered." The black man paused the plate on the table with a "pop", and the sound of the plate hitting the table startled Millet, and some of the purple juice in the cup also splashed out.
Ding Xiu turned his head with some surprise.
The black man thought that Ding Xiu was frightened, and said to Xiaomi with a smug face: "Your mother doesn't seem to be very polite like you, I brought you juice, but I can't hear a thank you." β
The black man first used the word "sissy" to humiliate Ding Xiu, and then deliberately said that Ding Xiu was Xiaomi's mother, and the provocation was already overflowing.
Ding Xiu looked at him coldly, his eyes were quite disdainful: "Are you looking for me?" Or are you looking for death? β
"Looking for death? Ha ha. The black man's Grells was a little stiff, but the pronunciation was generally standard, and he laughed, "It's up to you ......"
The word "you" seems to be only halfway pronounced, and the rest of the sound stops abruptly. I saw a large hand pressed on the black man's face, the palm of the hand covered his mouth, and then the palm of the palm pushed his head to the side with a slight force.
"Don't get in the way of Lao Tzu."
Zhang Hongyi's voice and figure appeared in front of Ding Xiu together, and the black man was pushed by his face, and after stabilizing his heels, his face was full of anger and wanted to rush up to find the field.
Seeing that his companion had suffered a small loss, several black people at the nearby table stood up one after another, wanting to come over to help.
"Get out!" Zhang Hongyi glared at them.
"What are you arrogant about, you cripple?" The black man who was pushed by Zhang Hongyi rushed over and raised his fist to swing it at his face. The black man saw that Zhang Hongyi's left hand only had two fingers, and he already had a little contempt for him in his heart. In addition, he made himself embarrassed in front of his companions, so he really wanted to use his hands to save face.
The black man's fist had just been raised, and Zhang Hongyi's left hand had already completed the downward bend, then raised, and then swung forward a few times.
The black man's body seemed to stiffen suddenly, his fists stopped in mid-air, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
A sharp tomahawk rested in front of his neck, the blade of which was no more than two or three centimeters from the artery in his throat.
"Right...... I'm sorry! The black man's voice trembled a little.
Zhang Hongyi withdrew the axe, hung it on his waist, and then pulled a chair at the table and sat down.
The black man quietly took a few steps back, and after confirming that Zhang Hongyi's attention was not on him, he hurriedly fled with his companion.
"I've kept you waiting." Zhang Hongyi said.
"Would I like to order you a drink?" Ding Xiu looked at him with a depressed expression, thinking that he was in a bad mood by the guy just now, "It's just a few 'bedbugs', don't affect your mood." β
"Not because of them." Zhang Hongyi shook his head: "I was fired." β
"Opened?" Ding Xiu was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.
"I was fired." Zhang Hongyi sighed, his expression was very melancholy, "This hunting operation failed, the losses were great, and my team is gone, so that adult should think that I am worthless......"
