Alliance leader plus 2/10

***

The temperature in Bac Giang in late November is already very low,

At 10:50 p.m., the cold wind swept the fallen leaves, making a rustling sound in the alley rubbing against the ground.

In the dark alley, the warmth of spring is in a small, dilapidated storefront.

The slightly old glass doors are covered with layers of fog, indicating the temperature inside and outside.

Two figures, one large and one small, stood in front of the door, looking at the small shop without a signboard.

"Here?" Jiang Xiao looked up at Erwei.

"Hmm." Futao stepped forward and pushed the door in.

Jiang Xiao followed and walked in, compared to the dilapidated outside, although the interior was simple and narrow, it was unusually clean and tidy.

Aside from the back kitchen that you can't see, there are only more than 20 square meters here, with six small tables, empty, and it should be closed.

An old aunt over half a hundred years old, slightly chubby, with short hair and curly hair, was sitting behind a wooden bar, counting the day's income.

The small bell on the door made a crisp sound as the store door opened, and the aunt raised her head and showed a kind smile: "We have closed ......"

Auntie's face froze, looking at the tall figure, the smile on her face became more and more sincere, and her slightly cloudy eyes seemed to have some brilliance: "Child, is it a holiday?" ”

The second tail nodded lightly, and a smile appeared on his cold face: "Aunt Yu." ”

Is that... Warm smile.

Jiang Xiao had long known that the woman beside him was moody, but he had never seen her smile so warmly.

It was as if her cold aura had been dispelled by this old and warm little shop.

Her temperament will make anyone avoid three points, and no one will equate her with ordinary people.

But here, Jiang Xiao saw an ordinary, humane young woman.

"Old man, work." The aunt hurriedly walked to the back kitchen, babbling, "Do you still have cod at home?" Here comes the red tassel. ”

"You come here every time you have a holiday?" Jiang Xiao asked.

"Hmm." Futao took off his crimson trench coat and hung it on a hanger.

As soon as the simple action was completed, an uncle with slightly gray hair walked over with an induction cooker and a shabu-shabu pot and put them on the small table chosen by the two.

"It's good, it's good." The uncle smiled innocently and squatted down with the plug.

"I'll come." Jiang Xiao took the plug and leaned down.

"That's good." The uncle looked at Futao, wiping his hands back and forth on the apron in front of him.

"Okay." The second tail raised his head slightly and smiled, and his narrow Danfeng eyes were bent into two crescents.

"That's good, that's good, open it quickly, wait a minute, and come right away." The uncle hurriedly said, turned around and walked to the back kitchen.

Ten minutes later, the shabu-shabu pot was steaming hot, making a gurgling sound.

A plate of salted peanuts, a plate of old vinegar preserved eggs, and a plate of nuts and spinach were placed on the table.

Erwei looked at Jiang Xiao and said, "Wine." ”

Jiang Xiao held the peanut in one hand, as if infected by her style, and replied: "Car." ”

Futao nodded, didn't respond again, just flipped the belly in the pot.

Since entering the old and warm hut, Jiang Xiao had no intention of opening the topic, he didn't want to disturb the rare state of the second tail.

"You're going to the armory the day after tomorrow." Futao said.

"Yes, the province seems to be not satisfied with the results achieved by the students in the national league, which has increased the difficulty of the experience." Jiang Xiao ate a peanut.

"Huh." Futaio smiled disdainfully, noncommittal.

"Come on, kid, what do you drink?" Auntie brought over two cups, one empty and one full of wine, put them in front of Erwei, and said to Jiang Xiao, "Home-brewed Xiaoyao, you... You're still young, right? ”

Jiang Xiao waved his hand again and again and said, "Just white water." ”

"Good boy, you have to drink less." The aunt babbled and turned to get the kettle.

Futao picked up the glass in front of him and took a shallow sip, the spicy liquid filling his lips and tongue, all the way to the fire, down his throat and straight into his chest.

Niwei slowly put down the wine glass, felt the flame in his chest, and slowly exhaled a cold breath: "The star skills carried by the creatures of another dimension in the arsenal are not suitable for you. ”

"It's okay." Jiang Xiao said casually, "I analyzed it carefully, some star skills are quite interesting. ”

Erwei looked at Jiang Xiao silently and said, "You only have 9 star slots, you shouldn't waste empty slots on those star skills." ”

"You're giving me advice? What do you care about my star slot? Jiang Xiao asked with a smile.

Futaio nodded and said, "Yes, I will participate in every step of your future growth." ”

Jiang Xiao panicked in his heart, and hurriedly changed the topic: "That 'hate' is still good." ”

Two-tailed: "Brass, useless." ”

Jiang Xiao picked up a shabu-shabu skewer and said, "That 'attachment' is not bad." ”

Futaio shook his head: "Silver, the aura range is too small, and the effect is too low." ”

Yikes,

Jiang Xiao pursed his mouth,

That's going to be a bad thing, man.

Looking at Jiang Xiao's appearance, Erwei said hoarsely: "Don't hope that in the future, you will use high-grade star beads to cover low-level star skills and improve your quality, no one in this world will love you like them, regardless of life and death." ”

Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment, uh... It seems that she and Hai Tianqing have discussed it, and their thoughts are the same.

Erwei glanced at Jiang Xiao coldly, and his voice still didn't have any inflection: "You only have 6 star slots left, and your few star skills that transcend quality are enough for your early growth, and after your star river stage, you can choose from the golden star skills." ”

"You're a little too domineering." Jiang Xiao said helplessly.

Erwei picked up the wine glass, looked at Jiang Xiao, and took a shallow sip.

"Mochi steaks, lamb kebabs, and your favorite grilled cod." The aunt came over with a plate, and as she spoke, she put the teapot in front of Jiang Xiao's table.

didn't get a response from Erwei, the aunt didn't speak again, she looked at Erwei who was drinking, and then looked at Jiang Xiao who was picking peanuts, and she left quietly.

The boiling shabu-shabu pot is bubbling with a white mist.

Through the mist, Jiang Xiao looked at Erwei's pair of Danfeng eyes, made up his mind, mustered up courage, and said, "I don't want to join the army, I want to go to school." ”

Erwei's eyes sharpened, looking at Jiang Xiao and silent.

Jiang Xiao pulled down the collar of his hoodie, his body was very hot and his heart was very cold.

In this warm little shop, this more humane Erwei added a touch of courage to Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiaoqiang calmed down: "I want to be by my sister's side, last time in the snowfield, I saw the real danger, and I knew what kind of battles she would participate in in the future as an excellent awakened person, and I wanted to guard her as much as possible." ”

Futai's eyes darkened, and he picked up the wine glass he had just put down, and slowly put it to his lips.

The small shop that was already closed was empty, although the white light was bright, but there was only Jiang Xiao's table.

There was no hustle and bustle, just the ticking of the clock on the wall.

There was no noise, just the boiling sound in the shabu-shabu pot.

Finally, Futaio broke the silence, hoarsely voiced, and said, "Then... Eat it. ”

"Don't eat it." Jiang Xiao hurriedly stood up and said, "There is still class tomorrow, and she is also waiting for me to go back, it is too late, she will be worried." ”

Erwei was silent, nodded lightly, raised his hand, took out a rolled-up map from the pocket of his windbreaker hanging on the wall, and handed it to Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao asked curiously, "What is this?" ”

The second tail's voice was hoarse, and his movements were a little stiff: "Take it." ”

Jiang Xiao looked at the drawings in front of her, and then looked at Erwei, only to find that she lowered her eyes, and her eyes were no longer aggressive.

Jiang Xiao was not confused by such a look, he saw her stiff movements, and after thinking about it, Jiang Xiao still took the map and said softly: "Go home early." ”

With that, Jiang Xiao turned around and walked out of this warm and bright shop, pushed open the glass door filled with mist, a cold wind hit, he lifted his collar upward, and turned his head to look inside.

Futao sat alone behind the small table, the steaming mist of the small pot on the table obscuring her face.

I just could see her pick up the glass again, tilt her head and take a sip.

When I put the glass down again, there was only half a glass left.

Jiang Xiao shook his head, closed the door, and the slightly dark alley was quiet.

Looking into the distance, the lights of thousands of homes between high-rise buildings are lit up with a warm light.

He remembered Hai Tianqing's instructions, perhaps, she was not as radical as Hai Tianqing said.

Or, this special environment increased Jiang Xiao's survival rate.

Jiang Xiao walked out of the dim alley and saw the pitch-black car parked at the door of the alley.

He helplessly held his forehead, held his pocket in one hand, and sure enough, the car keys were still with him.

Regardless of Futai's personality, Jiang Xiao didn't think that going back to deliver the car keys would be the right option.

Jiang Xiao, who didn't know what to do, sat on the steps and put the key on the tire? Or do you want to go back and put it at the door of the store? If you don't knock on the door, under normal circumstances, the store aunt will come out, right?

Jiang Xiao, who was sitting on the stone steps and thinking, holding the map in his left hand and the key in his right hand, was a little upset, and with the help of the dim street lamp, he opened the map.

This is......

Topographic map of the armory?

Hand?

There are a variety of terrains, symbols, forbidden areas, monster distributions, supply points, guards, night watchmen, and ......

dense, detailed and detailed.

The text marked above, in the stroke by stroke, seems to be able to see the sword light and sword shadow.

Knife head swallowtail, iron painting silver hook.

As with her people, he is not good at talking, and his words are sharp; Poor caring, stiff movements.

This heart-warming gesture, full of care and love, has become domineering and tough, and even clumsy.

Jiang Xiao looked at the detailed hand-drawn map in his hand, and in his mind, the cold appearance of the second tail also turned into silence and stubbornness.

Thinking of her gloomy appearance after the fog, Jiang Xiao couldn't help but stand up.

"Hey......" Jiang Xiao sighed deeply, turned around and walked back.

Bell bell bell.

The sound of the door was accompanied by the ringing of the bell.

Auntie's voice came from the bar in the house: "Let's close ......"

Auntie's voice stopped abruptly, and Jiang Xiao stepped in and came to the small table.

She saw the untouched dishes and plates in front of her, and the empty wine glass.

"You're back."

In her hoarse voice,

Finally with a hint of emotional ups and downs.

Through the steaming mist, in the haze, Jiang Xiao seemed to see a hint of surprise on her cold face.

Maybe

He was mistaken.
