Chapter 3: Brother and Sister
"Go, go, three meters away. www.biquge.info"Seeing his sister open her arms and asking for a hug, the young city lord looked like she was facing a great enemy, hiding from aside, squinting her eyes and saying, "You guy didn't feel good every time he put on this posture, and I won't be fooled again this time." β
"Hey, it's boring. The doll-like girl's well-behaved and cute expression immediately disappeared, and she pouted and complained, "Brother is not fun at all." β
"Thank you, brother wasn't meant to play. The young city lord rolled his eyes, pulled the chair next to the little girl and said, "Okay, don't make trouble, eat breakfast honestly, there are still a lot of things to do after eating." β
"Know~Dao~. Finding that her brother was still sitting next to her, the little girl had a sunny smile on her face, and a pair of small feet wearing red leather shoes swayed on the chair, and said in a happy long voice, "Knowing that my brother is busy and my brother can accompany me to breakfast, I am already very happy." β
"The person I'm talking about with a bunch of things to do is you. The young city lord didn't seem to be able to roll his eyes enough in front of his sister, "Don't pretend to be stupid for me, you guy, it's not a good habit to escape from reality." β
"Ahh The little girl whimpered, hung her head in a big blow, and launched a fierce attack on the food on the table like a vent of anger, as if facing an enemy of life and death, the nine maids stood quietly behind the two, snickering at the brother and sister bickering, only when needed, they came to the table to serve the two.
In fact, although the city lord is the owner and manager of the city's resources, it is just a breakfast, which is essentially no different from ordinary people, the only difference is that the food here is more refined and the taste is more delicious than ordinary people. The main dish is a big bowl of hot soup, the soup that has been boiled for more than 12 hours on low heat is milky white, exuding a rich chicken aroma, but there is no fat on the surface, there will never be a greasy feeling when drinking, in the milky white soup, a thin tofu shreds are like silver filaments, the silver filaments are very open, and there is no entanglement at all to make a mess, between the silver filaments, dark red ham slices, white tender bamboo shoots, black seaweed, and green cabbage leaves are dotted among them, which not only makes the soup taste more delicious, but also can give people a sense of enjoyment just visuallyγ In addition to the hot soup, there are staple foods, the yellow egg skin is wrapped in a thin chicken paste steamed into siu mai, the white dough is as thin as cicada wings, wrapped in a whole shrimp meat steamed into shrimp dumplings, the dough mixed with brown sugar is kneaded into a small animal shape, the baked half-cooked is slowly fried over low heat, and it will only feel sweet and crispy when put into the mouth, and there are all kinds of delicate side dishes, red, red, green and green are of different colors, the taste is sour and spicy, and you can wake up the stomach that has slept all night after eating a bite.
Of course, it is no different from ordinary people, in fact, there is still a big difference, in the chaotic era of 332 years after the disaster, although ordinary people in small cities can also eat these exquisite meat, but it is unknown how many times a year can be eaten, and only urban aristocrats, or those rich people in big cities or even super cities, can live such a life every day.
"Whew, it's hot. The young city lord put down the soup bowl, took the towel handed by Sister Yue behind him and wiped the sweat on his face, feeling that flames were erupting from his throat, but this bowl of silver silk soup was just to be drunk hot like this to be enjoyable. Spit out a mouthful of hot air with the fresh aroma of chicken, leaned back on the chair with satisfaction, and when I looked up, I found that my sister was holding her cheeks with her hands, staring straight at herself, and what was hidden in her eyes was a strong attachment. The young city lord sighed deeply in his heart, but his appearance seemed to be unnoticed, and he said with a comfortable expression, "Girl, did you also incense the old man for me today?"
"Well, I've already incensed my uncle. Hearing that my brother was very inappropriate or very timely to mention his uncle who died a few months ago, knowing that the moment of warmth between brother and sister was over, he subconsciously frowned, and found that it seemed impolite to the deceased like this, so he quickly changed his expression and said, "I guess my brother didn't have time to go to incense today, so I lit a pillar for you." β
"That's good. When the young city lord mentioned his dead father, it seemed as if he was talking about a stranger, and he said without a little sadness, "So I don't have to go over today, after all, today is a very busy day, and it is estimated that I will come back very late." β
"Huh?" said the little girl reluctantly, with wide eyes, "Brother won't come to dinner today?"
"Yes. The young city lord avoided the little girl's gaze, nodded and said, "There are guests today." β
"Guest?" said the little girl, whose eyes slowly became dangerous, full of suspicion, "It's not like I'm going to see that, that or that again." β
"Ahem, cough, how come, didn't I promise not to see them?" said the young city lord with a wandering gaze, "If you don't see them, you won't see them." β
"Is that to see the other?" the little girl asked after her, "how many are there?"
"Don't make a fuss, it's a serious day today. The young city lord said embarrassedly, "Don't forget that the beast tide is coming, and there is likely to be a demon invasion that will follow, and the slightest mistake will destroy the city, for the sake of safety, I invited two reinforcements, and I will receive them tonight." β
"Are reinforcements really so dangerous this time?" the little girl asked, "can't we handle it with our own city guards?"
"Be prepared. The young city lord sighed and said, "And maybe it really can't be done." β
"In other words, you're going to receive reinforcements tonight. The little girl asked tentatively, "Really not to accompany those?"
"Of course not. The young city lord said with an innocent face, "You have to believe me, do you think I look like such a lascivious and casual person?"
"Heh, heh, heh, are you? Brother, I just have a question for you. The little girl suddenly laughed, approached the young city lord with a gentle face, and asked softly, "Xiaoyan told me in the morning that she was missing a piece of underwear hanging in the yard yesterday morning, brother, do you know where to go?"
"It's not me, it's really not me. The young city lord jumped to the side like a rabbit with an arrow, shook his hands vigorously and said, "I, I, I really didn't take it, I'm innocent, I won't do such a dirty thing, at most, I dig a hole in the bathroom wall and steal it...... No, no, no, I didn't say anything. β
"Bastard brother, you actually dug that hole, you big pervert. The little girl finally revealed her fierce nature, gritted her teeth and showed a fierce light, brushed the skirt of the maid next to her, took off a miniature submachine gun from the outside of her thigh, and pulled the trigger on her brother, "**Brother, you go to die." β
"I'm x. Even if he knew that the bullet was ineffective against himself, the young city lord didn't want to stand here stupidly as a live target, so before the gunshots rang out, he let out an exclamation, his arms shook, and the person floated up like a leaf, and rushed into the courtyard through the open window, leaving only the lingering voice, "I'll come back late at night, don't wait for me." β
"Brother bastard, don't come back at night if you have the ability. After the little girl finished firing a magazine, after the young city lord disappeared into the courtyard, the fierce expression on her face slowly faded, she threw the submachine gun on the table weakly, fell on the chair with a depressed face, covered her face with both hands, and was silent for a long time before she groaned and said, "Sister Yue, my heart hurts, this kind of warm atmosphere of brother and sister harmony, I can't pretend anymore, whew, I can't hold it anymore." β
The mature maid bit her lip lightly and looked at the girl in front of her with pity, but she could only smile helplessly.
"Sister Yue, can you hug me?" The little girl let go of the hand covering her face, looked at the mature maid weakly, and pleaded, "I know, you are absolutely loyal to your brother, but the changes in the past few months have made me really tired, I really want you to hug me like you did when you were a child, even if it's just the last time, let me feel the last warmth, okay, don't let me leave regrets before leaving." β
"Miss, no. Sister Yue sighed lightly, stepped forward and gently hugged the little girl's thin body, patted her back and comforted, "The young master has not changed, he will definitely take care of everything." β
"Oh, brother...... He can't fully represent himself and act according to his own ideas, and besides, the changes he has made in the past few months are like ...... Alas, everything is not quite normal. The little girl buried her face in the maid's arms and said in a muffled voice, "Whew, Sister Yue's arms are still so comfortable......"
Pushing open the door of the City Lord's Mansion, the young city lord walked out of his home, and at the moment of closing the door, the smile on his face when facing his relatives quickly faded, and he turned his back to his home and let out a whisper of unknown meaning: "Hehe, sister, my dear sister, tsk." β
After whispering, the young city lord had a flirtatious and casual smile on his face, and walked towards the street without looking back, and whispered while taking a step, "Okay, Xiao Wu, let's go, today will be a very busy day, no, not only today, I'm afraid the next few days will be very busy, well, very, very busy." β
A woman whose whole body was wrapped in purple tight-fitting clothes, and even her face was covered under a purple masked cloth, appeared behind the young city lord without warning like a wisp of green smoke, lowered her head without saying a word, and followed his footsteps closely.
For her appearance, the young city lord was naturally not surprised, he didn't even look at her, he carried his hands without stopping, continued to move forward with a leisurely posture, looked up at the sky, and said softly: "Today is a good weather, in every sense of the word." β
The purple-clothed girl followed and looked up at the sky, the gray sky was overcast, and it was depressed in a low voice.
