Chapter 14: The Little Noodle Stall
Long Yuan relieved himself and found that he was already standing in the ruined temple, but the sky outside was still dyed bright red. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Yan'er, who the hell are you, why are you so sensitive to me? After Long Yuan came back, it was obvious that he felt that sentimentality was gone, he would always take Yan Er's feelings into account when facing Yan Er, but when he came back here, he never had it again.
"It seems that it is indeed as Yan'er said, one day in the underworld, but only a moment has passed in the world. Long Yuan looked at the sky outside, and it didn't seem to have changed.
"Speaking of which... I'm a little hungry..."Long Yuan has been walking and stopping on Huangquan Road for more than two days, and he has been relying on drinking potions to recover in the middle, and he hasn't eaten anything at all. After that, I want to go to the city.
"Yes, the people here are very disgusted with me, after all, their relatives are dead, and only a few of us can come back standing up... Long Yuan felt very powerless and annoyed when he thought of this, "Shadow, everything you do, you must pay the price!"
"Goo~" Long Yuan's stomach protested very facelessly, "It looks like you have to eat on the hour." ”
......
Long Yuan tidied up his clothes, and took out a set of high-grade wolf skin clothes from the demon wolf ring, the original set was stained with a thick dead air at the moment, Long Yuan could not be affected because of his special physique, but ordinary people were exposed to these dead gases, and their strength was even lower, and their life expectancy might be reduced.
"Yan'er, what the hell is it, Difu, is she just a soul?" Long Yuan thought and walked towards the city.
"Flatbread! Freshly baked flatbread!" "Ramen!" "Specialty ramen, satisfying taste!" "......"
There are only some small stalls on the side of the road, none of the larger shops are open, it seems that the siege of the demon beast has affected people's lives, so prosperous during the day, but at night, the whole Fengyun City has become very deserted, the stalls on both sides of the road keep shouting, but there are few people who can eat, most of them are ordinary people who don't know martial arts, they pass by in a hurry, it seems that something bad will happen when they go back later.
"Hey, old man, it looks like it's better to close the stall, you also saw it, no one came back. A rickety old lady said to the old man at the noodle stall on the side.
"Old woman, I also know, but we must scrape together enough money now to allow our grandson to use the teleportation array to participate in the selection held in the Divine Emperor City right away, and my grandson can't become idle just because he is in Fengyun City." The old man said with a sad face and helplessness.
"If it really doesn't work, let's go to the city lord with two old bones, the city lord is not an unreasonable person, we have also received a lot of favors over the years, it shouldn't be a problem, go back early, it's too unsafe at night" The old lady said.
"Old woman, okay, listen to you, anyway, no one will come to eat this night, and those martial artists who dare to come out also look down on our small stall, let's go" After saying that, he began to get up and pack his things.
Long Yuan heard their words and hurriedly stepped forward
"Wait a minute, old man, please help me cook a big bowl of noodles. Long Yuan hurriedly said.
The old man looked at Long Yuan, and his face was instantly filled with anger. "Get out, we don't sell to cowards, we don't sell to villains seeking glory!" the old lady bowed to Long Yuan apologetically when she heard the old man's words.
When Long Yuan heard this, his face was a little cold and said, "Old man, do you know who the people who died today? That's my brother! Although we met for the first time, we fought together, for what? In order to protect our homeland! They died, I don't feel better than you, I know that the people we came back alive were misunderstood by you, you cursed us, we don't mind, because you have lost too much... “
After speaking, Long Yuan was about to get up and leave, but when he left, he quietly put a pile of gold coins on the table.
"Young man, you... Come and eat a bowl of noodles. The old man seemed to have made a great effort to say this.
"Old man, you are still so kind" The old lady saw the old man call Long Yuan over, and a warm smile appeared on her face, "I remember the first time we met was when you bought noodles and gave a wandering warrior a bowl of noodles, and the people around you were disgusted, and said that you were stupid, and left one after another, not giving you money..."
"Although they didn't give me money, didn't God compensate me" Before the old lady could finish speaking, the old man rushed to say it. It made the old lady lower her head and cook noodles.
"Thank you, old man" Long Yuan sat down, and pushed the money he had just put down in front of the old man, the old man immediately frowned, and said, "Young man, do you think the old man and I am greedy for your money?"
"Old man, this is not just face money, just now I also heard that your second grandson is going to participate in some election, can you tell me about it, just ask me about the remuneration of the news" Long Yuan smiled, "Look at me, I am only a teenager, if it is suitable, I will also participate, this is my future, old man, you can accept it with peace of mind, even if your grandson is teleported, you still need a living expenses"
After hearing this, the old man thought about it for a while, and said to the old lady behind him, "Old woman, come, I'll cook it for this young man myself."
Long Yuan was confused, the old man walked away without saying whether he would accept his money or not, and the old lady came over to chat with Long Yuan.
"Young man, the election in God Emperor City that you want to know is actually jointly held by the four academies in God Emperor City and the major sect academies, if you want to get ahead in the South Heaven Domain, you basically have to participate in that selection, and be selected and cultivated by the big forces, if you are selected, then you will have a backer in this life" The old lady explained patiently.
"Well, that sounds like a selection of the big forces to recruit blood, it seems to be interesting. "Long Yuan is obviously very interested in this selection.
The old lady looked at Long Yuan as if she was thinking about something, and suddenly asked, "Young man, how old are you?" What happened outside the city today, why are so many people going out and only you are coming back?" In her opinion, Long Yuan is just a half-mature little boy, and it is estimated that today's fight has also had an impact on Long Yuan.
"Old man, I don't know how old I am, today... It's me who is too weak, blame me for being too weak!" Long Yuan's tone was strong, but his head could not look directly at the old lady. "If I was strong enough, they wouldn't have been killed by that beast, and if I was strong enough, I would be able to avenge them with my own hands!"
"Revenge, the brute hasn't been killed yet?" asked the old lady eagerly.
"No, the wolf king was forced to death by us, but they don't have to die, it's just to blame... Long Yuan was hesitant to say it, if the true image was revealed, it would definitely greatly reduce the image of the old man to the city lord.
The old lady seemed to see what Long Yuan was thinking, and said, "Don't worry, child, there's nothing you can't get by."
"It was a man in the city lord's mansion, the city lord's guard, called Shadow, who ordered us not to enter the city, which led to our death with the wolf king, and in the end, those brothers were not talented... Speaking of this, Long Yuan listened.
"Well, son, you have been wronged. The old lady said, Long Yuan heard this, tears flowed out very angrily, "It's all my fault! If it's not that I'm not strong enough, they don't have to die, they can all come back alive, they can all drink and eat together with their families in peace, and live with their beloved, blame me!"
The source of the dragon has been buried, and his tears fell on Zhuo Zai one by one, making a sound of "tick ~ tick".
"Hey, kid, you've done a good job, don't think about it so much, their sacrifice is in exchange for the stability of the people of our city" The old lady comforted Long Yuan
Long Yuan never raised his head, and tears kept falling.
"Bump!"
Suddenly, there was a loud bang in front of him, and the old man put the noodles in front of Long Yuan at once, "Come, your noodles, eat the noodles and you can leave, your money is mine!"
The old man's voice came from Long Yuan's ears, which seemed to be full of impatience, as if he was very unhappy with Long Yuan's crying.
Long Yuan was just an otaku before he crossed over, even if he had suffered a lot by himself before, but this time the brother who worked hard with him was killed, he was misunderstood, and he blamed himself for not having enough strength, if he hadn't met Yan Er, maybe he would have taken another extreme road.
Long Yuan slowly raised his head, and what caught his eye was a bowl of noodles, no, it should be said that it was a pot of noodles, there was a very thick layer of meat on the noodles, the green onion and coriander on the meat were flushed out by the heat below and a very fragrant taste, the noodles were freshly kneaded, not at all the kind of dry and soft noodles sold by the old man, it can be seen that this bowl of noodles has put a lot of effort.
"Let's go after eating!" The old man smoked a dry cigarette on the other side, and the old lady smiled at Long Yuan, "Eat it while it's hot" and walked away, she sat down next to the old man, and held the old man's hand with one hand.
Long Yuan's tears couldn't be suppressed, he buried his head and ate noodles, tears kept falling on the noodles, very warm, delicious, this was the first time Long Yuan had eaten such delicious noodles.
.......
"Thank you two" Long Yuan finished eating noodles, his eyes were still red, his nose was also red, but the two old men on the opposite side didn't turn their heads, Long Yuan slowly turned around, walked away gently, with his back to the two old men, in the moonlight, walked farther and farther, slowly, Long Yuan turned around, at this time he could only see two vague figures cleaning up the noodle stall.
"Old man, this is the best noodle I've ever tasted, thank you, old lady, thank you for the news, thank you two!" Long Yuan took a hard breath and roared loudly. But the figure that cleaned up didn't seem to hear it, and didn't reflect at all.
Long Yuan smiled, sorted out his mood, and turned around and walked in the direction of the broken temple.
"Madame, this kid is not a bad person," the old man who hooked his body slowly said to the old lady.
"Old man, you actually know very well, he would not be a bad person in the first place, otherwise he would have gone with our son to defend the homeland" The old lady held the old man's hand again.
"Hey, it's a pity that our son didn't come back with him. The old man sighed and let go of his hand, only to see that what he and the old lady were holding together was a piece of paper with the words "Daddy, Mom, the child will definitely come back......."
