Al and Freeman strolled through the Snow Fortress City, and Freeman, who was bored in the barracks learning marksmanship from Murat, refused to come out, but was deceived by Al on the grounds of "one article and one martial arts, and a relaxed way". Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Actually, it's because Freeman has the sense of elemental penetration after many battles, and his strength has skyrocketed. The Snow Fortress has neither any experimental equipment nor a primordial stone for El to exercise, and although he has experienced two battles, except for a few magic skills that he is more proficient in, El has not improved his strength at all. Expressing envy, jealousy and hatred for Freeman, a martial arts genius, Al, in line with the fine principle of sharing happiness and hardship among brothers, he tricked Freeman out and changed into civilian clothes to accompany him shopping.

The snow fortress city was bustling with activity, originally because of the war in the city imposed martial law, but now that the battle has been won, martial law has been lifted, and people have taken to the streets to breathe and brag. Spring in the western region is naturally not warm to speak of, and it is not spring flowers that report spring here, but snakes, frogs or rats that wake up from hibernation. The loud shouting on the roadside is incessant, sometimes mixed with the sound of bargaining and scolding. The scolding of the border people is naturally vulgar and unpleasant, especially those middle-aged women who rolled up their sleeves with one hand on their waists, and pointed up and down with one hand, and the round and thick fingers were eager to poke the person in front of them to death with one finger, and the mouth was like a cannon scolding so that people couldn't interject into the words, and the spit sprayed so much that several big men couldn't raise their heads, and Al looked quite ridiculous next to him. The small wine stall opened in broad daylight, and a few idlers were drinking and laughing inside, and their voices were so loud that they could be heard hundreds of meters away. Al walked the streets in high spirits, although they belonged to the western border, and the people of Snow Fortress were more fierce than those of Thorn Castle, and the road was full of sturdy men wearing broadswords or long swords, and many of them were carrying large bows, and the quivers were full of arrowheads, and those who did not know thought that they were not in the city but in the barracks. As the saying goes, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and rely on the water to eat the water. There are many wild beasts here, and there are many natural hunters, and they greet each other as they walk:

"What did you hunt?"

"If you were unlucky, you shot two rabbits, what about my brother?"

"Hey, at this time, there are demonic beasts outside the city, and ordinary beasts are either eaten or run away, and the harvest is not good. ”

"yes, yes. The other man sympatheticly agreed, and after a while the two of them were hooking up and discussing where to go for a drink.

Halfway down the road, I heard two big men arguing loudly on the side of the road, and only one man boasted: "My neighbor's eldest cousin is on an errand in the barracks, and I heard that the battle was fierce that day, and I have heard that Master Victor is not, the captain of the hoplites! The big man danced and gestured as he spoke, as if he was gesturing how big the python was, "It wasn't enough for Master Victor to cut down the python, and he killed hundreds of winter wolves like a black whirlwind." The big man shook his head as he spoke, as if he was feeling sorry for the hundreds of winter wolves, and then squeezed out an expression of fear and excitement on his face, "It is said that Master Victor cut it to the xing place and directly broke a winter wolf into two pieces with his bare hands and ate it raw!" Listening to his tone, he seemed to have broken a green onion and dipped it in sauce, and listened to the surrounding inhalations and surprises, and shyly his stomach triumphantly, as if he was at the scene that day.

"Phew!" the other big man spat out, "didn't you hear that loud noise that day? He stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs up, "But can Master Victor make such a big move?" I heard that there is a mysterious mage in the army, and it is said that no one has ever seen what he looks like, and he wears a hood all day long, and he doesn't know what he is talking about. That day, good fellow!" The man raised his voice sharply: "That mage went down with a spell, and all the demonic beasts were blown up, didn't you see that the black city walls were blown white?"

The two of them went on talking nonsense like this, my neighbor, my cousin, and my seventh uncle and grandfather, and the more they shouted, the more excited they became, and their faces were hideous, as if they themselves believed it to be true, and the people around them surrounded and coaxed, shouting hello, urging the two to continue talking.

Al listened to the stunned expression, seeing that these two men had noses and eyes, and they heard it from somewhere. Laughing, he pulled Freeman around the crowd and walked on.

"Master, where are we going?" Freeman, a little dazed.

"Take you to a nice place. ", Al replied mysteriously.

After walking a little further, Al led Freeman into a small shop on the side of the road.

"Aunt Teresa, bring us two fried meatloafs, two roast lamb shanks, two bowls of spicy soup, and pickled radish, and ask for a large portion. Upon entering the door, Al shouted familiarly. Finding a place to sit down, Al introduced Freeman, "I've visited the whole Snow Fortress, and the fried meatloaf here is really good, cheap and delicious. ”

Freeman looked around, although the little shop was small, there were a lot of decorations, and from time to time there were big men who walked in or got up to pay the bill, these men ate viciously, and the meatloaf with a large basin was eaten in a few bites, and then gulped down the spicy soup, and ate heartily, and was addicted.

In a few moments, Aunt Teresa served all the dishes. This aunt looks like a typical woman in the West, the cold wind and the hard life have long taken away the beauty on her body, replaced by rough palms and a bucket-like thick waistline, although her family background is not good, her face has always been full of smiles, and she is a lady who is easy to get close.

The leg of lamb is grilled until it is crispy and soft, and the heat is very good. The pancakes are as Al said, extremely delicious, juicy meat filling is very generous, the rich aroma bursts in the mouth, you can smell the onion in one mouth, chew and swallow, a sense of satisfaction arises. After drinking the spicy soup again, the cold in the body was driven out at once. Just when my mouth was too spicy to stand it, I ate a pickled radish, which was salty, sweet, crisp and icy after being buried in snow, and a chill came to my heart.

Al and Freeman were eating feverishly, when they saw another group of people in the shop, and the first strong man was a man with a fleshy face and a fierce look, and although the weather was still very cold, he was shirtless and tattooed on his body, for fear that others would not know that he was a good man. A few younger brothers followed behind him were also angry, and they didn't look like good people.

Al frowned, is he here to collect protection money? was about to help, but saw Aunt Teresa rushing over with a feather duster, slashing her head and covering her face, and scolded while beating: "You bastard, a dead star, a loser, you don't study well, you dare to bring someone to the door." ”

The strong man was beaten but didn't dare to fight back, so he could only cover his face with his hand: "Mother, don't fight, today is your birthday, I just want to lead someone to celebrate your birthday and make you have a long face." ”

"Whatever life you celebrate, you will be angry to death. If you still have a long face, my face will be lost by you. ”

The strong man lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, the younger brothers behind laughed and persuaded the eldest mother, there was a burst of laughter in the small shop, and a loud voice shouted: "Charlie, hurry up and find a wife, the old man in the province was beaten, and Ming'er was beaten by the old lady to go home and beat his wife, if he can't even beat his wife, he will have a son and beat his son." There was another burst of laughter in the store.

The strong man turned his head and glared at him, and scolded: "Lao Tzu is looking for his wife to do your bird business, and I want you to be nosy." Then there was another feather duster on the head.

"Let you swear, let you scold the guests. ”

The strong man had to tighten his neck with a bitter face and be beaten, and the two round eyes widened and stared fiercely at the people in the store to see who dared to look at him and laugh. It's just that the big men in this store are afraid of him, and they laugh even louder.

Al smiled at the lively scene in front of him, and couldn't help but think of the Thorn Fortress, where the men were so wanton, the women were so vulgar, and even the content of the scolding was the same. The laughter and scolding in the store, the loud shouting and scolding of women, the sound of men snoring and eating and drinking, the bustling crowd outside the store, the sound of people talking and arguing, the sound of chatting and greeting, all kinds of voices reminded Al of the time before he traveled back in time, when he was in college.

Go to an Internet café with the boys you sleep with, skip class to play basketball together, and go to the night market with the wall. How lively the night market of the earth is, with bright lights, busy traffic, and people coming and going.

The earth is different and the same as this world.

Different costumes, different languages, different lives, different civilizations.

But it's the same, the same wanton, the same joy, the same smile, the same lively, the same freshness, the same ordinary, the same hope, the same beauty.

Al felt a burst of emotion in his heart, he remembered a sentence he saw on the earth: In this world, I have lived for so long, and I have experienced some difficult setbacks that I think I have, and sometimes although I want to cry, I have never given up my persistence in the goodness of human nature, so every time, after being sad and sad, I meet some beautiful people, and wash away the hostility of others in my heart, and naturally think that this world is a world where you can live an ordinary life with warmth, so it is not a big deal.

"That's good. Al muttered to himself.

"What did you say, young master?" Freeman didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing, it's so good, isn't it?"
