Chapter 7: The Joy of the Heart (6)
The next day, Xia Curtain woke up until almost three o'clock in the morning, and found that Situ Lan was gone. I remembered that he said yesterday that he was going to visit the Zhexing faction today, and he probably went to do something again.
So I had to sneak out into the street again bored. The New Year is approaching, and it is a prosperous city, and all the streets and alleys are full of people setting up stalls and shouting, so it is not lively.
Xia Mu was still thinking about yesterday's clothes incident, so he trotted all the way to the ready-to-wear shop, and found that although it was still open for business, the proprietress was not the woman who received him yesterday, and he didn't see the old man who collided with him. It's as if everything yesterday was like a dream that wasn't real. I had to be like a wolf dog, squatting at the door of the store for a long time, and I didn't find anything unusual, at this time the proprietress in the business was also at a loss for her inquiry, saying that there was something at home yesterday, the store was closed and not open, and she didn't sell any pink dresses to her, and it didn't look like she was pretending.
I had to give up, thinking about it, if it was really a demon clan mixed in, how could an ordinary mortal detect it, so I continued to stroll through the crowded long street.
As he walked, he suddenly heard someone shouting beside him, "Girl, alas, girl, look here." ”
Xia Mu turned around and saw a fortune-telling stall beside him, hanging a yellow flag with the words: Random inspection of Luma. In front of its wooden table, a middle-aged man with a beard was sitting.
"Call me?" Xia Mu looked left and right, pointed to himself and asked.
"Yes, it's just you, girl. Come on, come on! "The middle-aged *** got up and beckoned.
The first reaction was to run into the gangsters who wanted to cheat money, and there were no two children on him, so he didn't want to go over to the tiger's mouth, so he shook his head and said, "Thank you, I don't count my life." ”
"Alas! Girl, I think you're going to be in a catastrophe of blood! Are you sure you don't want to listen to me? ”
I just wanted to turn around and leave, but I didn't expect this charlatan to curse himself on the street like this in broad daylight, if I didn't go up to theorize, was it because I was a bully?
Walked to the fortune-telling stall with his waist crossed and slapped the table, and said angrily: "Are you mistaken!" You want to make money, but why are you cursing me? It's about to be the New Year, can't you say something nice? ”
"Girl, you can say nice things, but they can't save your life!" The middle-aged man didn't shrink back, touched his beard and replied.
"Fart! I don't know my life. Tell me, why I'm going to die! "I have to admit that under Xia Mu's arrogant posture, I muttered a little in my heart, bad luck has always been normal for me, but it seems that I have been unlucky recently.
The man didn't answer immediately, but looked at Xia Mu more carefully and seriously, and then said seriously: "Girl, there is no way to be lucky or bad, only people recruit themselves." I see that your steps are floating, your eyes are blank, your hall is dark, and there is a cinnabar blood mole between your eyebrows, which is a bad omen. Have you encountered something or something lately? ”
"What cinnabar blood mole, how come I don't know." I touched my head with my hand, but there was nothing.
The middle-aged man said again: "If ordinary people can easily see it, then what else do you need me to do as a cultivator?" You can't see it, that's normal. ”
I have to admit that Xia Curtain is starting to feel a little weak, and the things that I have encountered recently are just the same as strange things. Just as he was thinking about what to say, the warlock spoke again: "And the girl is not from this world, and this trip must be a lot of unwarranted disasters!" ”
"What do you mean?" Xia Mu's heart 'chuckled', he could actually see that he was not a person in this world?!
"The girl should know what I mean, so why ask knowingly." The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head.
Xia Mu finally sat down and asked in a low voice across the table, "Can you see where I'm from?" How can I go back? ”
"If you come, you will be safe, why should the girl bother to go back. Maybe that's where you're supposed to be. ”
"Don't! I don't want to stay here, I'm going back! Do you know how to get back? ”
"Hmm...... Don't want to say. ”
"Huh?!" Xia Mu was stunned and didn't want to say? Then he knows. "That's that...... So how can you say that? How much does it cost? "It felt like he had seen a savior, and he knew how he could get back into his own world! That's great! No matter what conditions he offered, as long as she could go back, she was willing to do anything.
"Alas, it's not early today, I should close the stall and go home for dinner." The middle-aged man actually stood up and began to close the stall.
"No! You can't go, you haven't told me yet! Xia Mu pressed the table, but then thought about it, people are also in business, and they didn't give a penny, why did they ask him to tell themselves, and quickly changed his flattering smile and said, "This uncle, uh...... No, big brother. If you have something to say, you can talk about it! How can you just go. ”
"I've been setting up my stall since the morning, and I haven't even eaten lunch, and I'm hungry." The warlock said as he closed his stall, completely ignoring it.
"Don't, don't, I'll invite you to dinner, okay?"
“…… You're going to invite me to dinner? Sure enough, he stopped.
"yes, let's talk while we eat."
"Yes, yes, but I don't want to eat out."
"Then where do you want to eat?"
"Burn it for me."
Nani! With a confused face, he asked, "Where am I going to burn it for you?" ”
"Go to my house." The warlock suddenly laughed.
laughed so much that Xia Mu had goosebumps, a man who had never been masked, invited himself to his house to cook? What the hell is this logic! I decisively want to refuse. But I wanted to know the answer in my heart, so I was stuck in place and didn't make a sound for a long time.
The warlock saw that she did not move, nor did he force her, and began to pack up her things again and prepare to leave.
"Hey! Wait, where is your home? "No, if you can know how to go back, what are you afraid of when you cook a meal.
"Not far away, in the courtyard of this street."
“…… Good! Then I'll go to your house to cook, and we'll talk while eating. "Follow your heart sideways.
After entering the door, Xia Mu realized that he seemed to be thinking too much along the way. The warlock seemed to have a strange personality, but he didn't have any bad ideas about himself, his house was in a very ordinary small courtyard, and the stove was all open-air, and it seemed that he didn't plan to invite himself into the inner room, but pointed to the open-air kitchen and said, "Then there is Miss Lao." ”
If nothing else, this earthen stove has successfully opened the memories of the summer curtain. In fact, when I was a child, I also had the experience of being adopted in a welfare home, and one of the families who adopted her was such a kitchen, and the rural couple had no children, so they really cared for her in every way after taking her back, and pampered her in the palm of her hand. They were poor, and they didn't have anything better to give to themselves, but they often took the summer curtain with them, and they took them with them to go to the fields and cook food. Although it was only less than half a year, the husband and wife died in an accident, and Xia Mu had to be sent back to the welfare home, but the beautiful memories of being treated well have always been in my mind.
"Well, I'll see what I'm doing." Xia Mu stood in front of the earthen stove with his waist crossed, and began to think about it, cooking and eating is indeed one of his hobbies, but this is the first time to cook with this thing.
Unexpectedly, the warlock patted the hem of his clothes and said, "I want to eat chicken wings." ”
Yo ho! I can also order food. Xia Mu has rolled his eyes 10,000 times in his heart, but when he thinks about it, he also loves to eat, braised chicken wings, cola chicken wings, barbecue chicken wings, etc., but he didn't expect this stinky fortune teller to be quite similar to his own taste. But it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, where will she get chicken wings this time.
Before she could speak, the warlock seemed to know what she was thinking, and when he entered the house and came out, he brought out a plate of raw chicken wings, as well as some other vegetables and fruits.
Xia Muden was dumbfounded, did he know he was coming? Or did he bring out all the ingredients for the New Year's dinner he prepared for himself? Swallowed and took it.
"It's delicious to cook at my own house, but I haven't used this equipment in your house, but I'll do my best to try not to waste your ingredients." It will inevitably make a joke for a while, but it is still necessary to get a preventive shot in advance.
"Haha...... It's okay, I'm sure the food you cook will be delicious. The warlock laughed.
Xia Mu had to sigh in his heart, and he didn't know where he got his confidence in himself, so he didn't say much, lowered his head and started to make a fire to cook.
During this period, he occasionally looked up at the fortune teller, but he sat in the courtyard, staring at himself with his chin propped up, not shying away at all, was he afraid that he would burn down his kitchen?
Don't bother to care about him, the challenge of this earthen stove is still very big, so when Xia Mu puts three dishes and one soup on the table, the sense of accomplishment can be quite ah, but it's a pity that there is no mobile phone to send to Moments.
"Taste it!" She urges that someone is desperate to share her joy with at this time.
The fortune teller looked at a table of dishes and said with a happy face: "There is still something missing." ”
"What?"
He didn't answer, and when he entered the house, he actually brought out a jar of wine.
Xia Mu had already set up the two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, sat down and asked, "Do you want to drink?" ”
The warlock sat down as a matter of course, and said, "Don't you want to drink the most as soon as you go out?" ”
"What?" Xia Mu looked confused, when did he like to drink as soon as he went out.
"I mean, the girl will have a drink with me."
"Uh...... All right. "Xia Mu is not particularly good wine, but it is impossible to mix in the entertainment industry without a little alcohol, so I boldly agreed.
The sorcerer filled each of them with a bowl and began to eat.
"How? What do you think? He asked impatiently, tilting his head.
The warlock nodded while chewing and said, "Hmm~~ It's delicious, it tastes great." It's better than the taste of the oak building in the east of the city! ”
"Yes! Hehe...... "Although I know that he must be a little flattering, Xia Mu feels that his vanity is greatly satisfied at this moment, and he also eats a mouthful of wine and meat, I am really a great genius!" After coming here, whether it is sleeping in the wind or sleeping in the restaurant, or the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the restaurant, there is no aroma of this self-made meal. As a result, even what he was doing was thrown out of the clouds all at once.
It wasn't until the second bowl of wine that Xia Mu suddenly remembered and asked, "Sir, if you know that I am not from this world, then you must know how I want to go back, right?" ”
"Why go back?"
"What, why? My house is there! "Xia Mu frowned, shouldn't he go home?
"Have you really figured out where your home is? Here, another bowl. ”
was pressed and had to pour another bowl of belly, Xia Mu wiped his mouth, burped and said, "Nonsense! Can I not know about my family? Although the house is rented, I have lived there for three years and my whole net worth is there! I've been fighting for so many years, it's easy! ”
"It is not easy to be alone in the world. Come! Drink! ”
This sentence hit the softest place for some reason, and he quickly picked up the wine bowl and drank it again, trying to let the wine suppress the inexplicable sadness in his heart. Oh, yes! It's really not easy for her to go alone for more than 20 years, who doesn't want to have a home?
"I didn't expect you...... You're the first to know I'm not easy. Hehe...... "The vision has begun to be a little foggy, I don't know if it's because of the strength of the wine, or the tears that can't be suppressed, I picked it up and drank it again.
"It's okay, you're back."
"Where are you going? I...... What I want is to go back! Fast! Hurry up and tell me how to get back! With the strength of the wine, Xia Mu slapped the table, staggered to his feet, grabbed the collar of the fortune teller and asked.
"Drunk so soon? When did the amount of alcohol get so bad? Gently hold her hand.
"Get out! Don't say hello...... You know me very well, even if you're a little ...... With a little ability, I can calculate that I am not a person in this world, so what? "My tongue is already chattering.
"Well, my temperament hasn't changed."
"Don't ...... Don't talk nonsense, tell me quickly, what's ...... How to get home! "No, why are my legs weak, my eyes are getting blurry and blurry, I pushed away the stinky fortune teller and fell back into the seat.
"This is your home."
“…… What the? Finally fell headlong on the table.
