Chapter 263: Behind the Celebration
The sun rises and the moon sets, and soon another day passes, and just after dawn, the residents of Green Town got out of the bed, got up earlier than ever, and after a while, Green Town, which had been silent all night, came to life completely.
One by one, the residents of Green Town dressed in brand new clothes, or a couple, or a pair of confidants, or a large family, opened their doors and met on the streets, all smiling and happily celebrating the festival, ready to welcome the arrival of the new year.
Green Town was originally a town with a high degree of greening, every street and alley is planted with uniform green trees, and the outer walls of each building are covered with vegetation and flowers.
The streets and alleys are full of people, jugglers and hawkers pushing fragrant carts, selling all kinds of snacks on the roadside.
The faces of the residents of the town were filled with happy smiles, and the whole town was immersed in joy.
As an outsider, Gong Bing doesn't have much feeling for the traditional festivals of this world, not to mention that he has only been here for a year, so it is not so easy to integrate into it.
And this kind of atmosphere of family reunion and family reunion aroused Gong Bing's homesickness that he usually hides in his heart, so that Xiang Xiang, who thinks he is strong, will inevitably be depressed.
However, Gong Bing didn't have much time to secretly feel sad, because he was pulled out of the bed early that morning, and the original plan to rarely want to sleep was also ruined.
Gong Bing, who was walking on the street, was sleepy-eyed, with his hands in his pockets, and his mouth with a cigarette closed one by one, and the smoke was filled.
"Gabriel, haven't you eaten breakfast yet? Come, try this chicken skewer, it smells so good. Bailey Garnett, with curly brown hair, appeared in front of Gong Bing, and handed over two skewers as he spoke, while he was holding an empty bamboo skewer in his other hand, and his mouth was full of oil, apparently having eaten a lot.
"I don't think it's a good idea to eat something so greasy early in the morning." Gong Bing leaned back and said with a frown.
"But this chicken is really well roasted, golden in color, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and a layer of sweet honey is poured on the surface, if you don't eat it, you will regret it." Bailey did not give up and continued to persuade Gong Bing.
"Forget it, I'm not used to eating breakfast so greasy, it's too unhealthy." Gong Bing waved his hand and declined, then walked around him and continued to walk forward.
The street is bustling with people and lined with trolleys selling a variety of foods, wooden and iron, decorated with festive flags, attracting every passing resident to stop and choose their favorite food.
"What is unhealthy, smoking early in the morning is the most unhealthy..."Bailey pouted and turned to follow, took a bite of chicken beside Gong Bing, and muttered in a low voice.
Gong Bing didn't pay attention to him, he was still the same, swallowing clouds and spitting fog as he walked, but he didn't take a few steps and was stopped by someone.
"Master, Master, Master, look at you, this thing looks really interesting." Fias's voice began to come from afar.
She came to Gong Bing, raised her head, padded her feet, and held a loaf of bread with a large head and a small body with a strange human face painted on the front, while her mouth was still chattering.
"Master, Master, I heard from the big sister who sells this bun that the filling in the head and body are different."
"Master, Master, if you like it, I'll buy it for you every day."
"Master, Master, hurry up and take it, you can taste it quickly."
"Buy it every day, where did you get so much money from this chick?" Looking at Fias's smiling face, Gong Bing rubbed her dark purple hair indulgently, then took the bread and bit off the head of the bread in one bite.
"Hey, hey, Gabriel, you're treating it differently, why don't you want what I give, little Fias gives it, you eat it without blinking." Bailey swallowed a bite of chicken and grumbled beside him.
"Because I'm Master's apprentice!" Fias held her head high, smiling and proud, as if announcing something terrible.
"Okay, okay, I know, I know, you have a good master~~" Bailey pursed his mouth and looked at Gong Bing with a grudge: "Gabriel, let me tell you, the boat of our friendship is in danger." ”
Gong Bing just rolled his eyes back.
As soon as it was dawn today, Bailey rang the doorbell of Gong Bing's house, dragged Gong Bing out of the bed, and then excitedly urged him to dress and change his pants, brush his teeth and wash his face, and he couldn't wait to go outside and have a good time.
Because this was something that had been agreed on a long time ago, although he was a little unhappy, Gong Bing still got up from the bed, after all, if he didn't agree, Bailey's small girl-like body couldn't move him.
Then, just as Gong Bing was brushing his teeth and washing his face, Fias also followed him to his house, and the purpose coincided with Bailey.
Fias had been staying at home in the suburbs since the last time she was brought home by Lake from Miranda's house, and had not entered the city again, because she was worried about her safety, so Lake kept an eye on her very closely.
In addition to not letting her run around casually, it is more important to supervise Fias's academic problems.
Who made her not even take the final exam, Lake, as a teacher, was naturally very angry when he found out about this, and then without saying a word, he often lived in her home and became a tutor for her.
Although Lake teaches geography at school, she is a top student who graduated from a prestigious school, and reviewing her homework for Fias is not a problem at all.
Of course, Lake did all this with good intentions, but it made the twelve-year-old Fias miserable, and she called Gong Bing every day and cried non-stop, each time vowing to run away the next day and go to the town to find the master.
But every time it ended in nothing, I could only obediently stay in front of the desk to review my homework.
However, to Gong Bing's relief, even so, Fias did not pull down the basic skills of daily martial arts.
She took every word of Professor Gong Bing to heart, and every day after studying, she would meticulously insist on completing the basic exercises.
Gong Bing can easily see that Fias's every move at this time has the shadow of basic skills, which is the effect of long-term and persistent training.
The basics had begun to be integrated into her body.
Although this set of basic skills is not a powerful move, nor does it have great power, it can allow Fias to lay a solid foundation, promote physical growth and prepare for future martial arts practice.
"Master, Master, what are you doing in a daze?" Fias was not far ahead, waving her arms and shouting at Gong Bing.
"yes, Gabriel, keep up, there seems to be a fun show ahead." Bailey, who was standing next to Fias, turned around and said as if he looked at Gong Bing.
These two guys had never met before, but they were able to hit it off at first sight, and this morning was the first time they had seen each other, but now they were like old friends for many years.
Because Bailey is petite and has young teeth, even though his real age is older than Fias, the two stand together without the slightest sense of disobedience.
Gong Bing, who came back to his senses, nodded to the two of them, and opened his legs to continue walking.
At this time, Gong Bing suddenly stopped, turned his head to look to the left, between the two back-to-back buildings closely adjacent, there was a cramped and narrow passage, above which were dense air conditioning outdoor units and randomly overlapped wires, even in broad daylight, it was difficult for light to project in, and the passage was obscure.
Gong Bing's nose twitched slightly, his brows furrowed, and his eyes were fixed on the depths of the passage.
"Gabriel, what's wrong with you?" Bailey walked over, tightened his scarf and asked suspiciously.
"Yes, Master, is there anything strange in there?" Fias also came to Gong Bing's side and looked in the direction of the passage.
Gong Bing turned his head, retracted his gaze, and shook his head secretly.
"Nothing, let's keep shopping."
After that, Gong Bingtou walked away without looking back.
Bailey and Fias looked at each other without doubting him, and also stepped forward and chased after Gong Bing.
The figures of the three quickly faded away, and finally disappeared into the crowd.
At this moment, in the depths of the passage just now, in a dark corner, a dark-colored liquid was slowly flowing out.
