A swift man who shuttles through the streets. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Is that calm and agile figure chasing something, or hiding from something, is it the passing years, is it the howling cold wind? or...... The pursuit of the chengguan?
As a fight-and-run freelancer and a professional freelancer, Jones has the vision of an eagle, the speed of a leopard, and the physical strength of a bear!
Jones's escape at this moment was not for nothing. As for the reason...... A few minutes ago, after learning that the town had rules for hunting down heterosexuality, Jones was cheated by some force majeure factor from Neve.
With the latter's gloating gaze and a deep breath, Jones bent down to make sure that his shoelaces were not loose, and before the town's chengguan arrived, Jones began the opening scene.
Perhaps the heavens were also moved and sympathetic to Jones's pit situation, but when Jones crossed three streets and found that he couldn't get rid of the chengguan and was troubled, a crisp girl's voice like a bird's cry came from Jones's side.
"Here!" Jones felt his hand grabbed.
"......" Because there was no way to escape, Jones let the other party lead him.
Under the traction of the other party, Jones was pulled into an alley, and at the same time, Jones, who turned around, also saw the appearance of the guy pulling him.
This is a young girl with short orange hair full of vigor and enthusiasm, wearing the sacrificial robes that every priest of the Holy See wears, and she is holding Jones's hand through this hidden alley...... It is not difficult to see that the local seems to be familiar with the nearby terrain.
Finally, after continuing to make N turns, the orange-haired girl stopped and let go of Jones' hand. In front of the Maiden and Jones is a small stream at the back of the town surrounded by sparse trees.
"When you get here, you're safe. The girl smiled in a refreshing voice.
"Thank you for the rescue. Finally relieved, sitting on the ground, Jones naturally began to thank him.
"You seem to be an outsider?" Sitting on the ground like Jones, the girl began to chat curiously. "My name is Angela, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
"Jones. Jones also introduced himself and answered the girl's questions. "I'm really an outsider. ”
"No wonder you're being chased by them, it seems you don't understand the rules here. Angela is sorry for what happened to Jones.
"I didn't expect the rules to be weird here. Jones sighed helplessly. However, it is precisely because of the strangeness that there is a value in spreading such a civilization. Immediately, there was an interesting mention.
"Sir, you seem to be special?!" Angela was curious when she heard Jones's answer. "Are you an adventurer?"
"I'm a freelance journalist,!!" the old rule, and at the mention of this, Jones immediately raised his eyebrows and said confidently, and handed over his business card.
"Freelance journalist?" Angela didn't seem to understand the word well. "Can I hear your story, sir?" Angela's face glistened with expectation, fingers playing with the ends of her hair.
"Of course. "For this kind of thing, Jones is happy. "But before we get there, we must first understand that as a freelance journalist, a messenger of truth," he said.
Of course, when telling your own story of seeking the truth, it is inevitable to embellish it...... Therefore, under Jones's language, his life is like a knight's novel, full of all kinds of thrilling deeds, which caused the next Angela, who had lived in a mountain village since she was a child, and had no opportunity to go out, which made the little knowledge exclaim.
In this kind of birdsong and flowers, cicadas chirp. In the poetic woods, the young man's proud narration from time to time brought the girl's silver bell-like laughter, and in a joyful atmosphere, time always passed quickly, and immediately, as the sun gradually sank from the sky, the sky darkened, and the two finally realized that it was time to say goodbye.
"I had a great time today, Mr. Journalist. Angela crossed her hands and reminisced endlessly about Jones's story.
"I'm sorry I can't tell you everything I've seen. Knowing his bosom friend's emotion, Jones also regretted the rapid passage of time.
"Well, if you can, can you listen to your story here tomorrow?" However, Angela's face turned a little crimson at this time.
Tired from sitting all afternoon, Jones, who stood up, stretched and was about to say goodbye. However, hearing Angela's words, Jones was slightly stunned, a little surprised and then incredulous...... However, the other party's appearance can't be wrong! This is flag?!
"It's my pleasure!"
...
.........
After Angela's help and successfully returned to the hotel chartered by Alice and Neve, Jones and Angela waved goodbye and returned to the hotel in a good mood.
It just so happened that in the courtyard of the hotel, Jones ran into Alice.
At this time, Alice was sitting on a chair in the courtyard quietly looking at the villain book in her hand, and on the stone table next to her was Neve's afternoon tea.
"Miss Alice, I'm going to correct the mistake in your previous words!" Jones sat down across from Alice and said directly.
However, Jones's seriousness doesn't seem to be well conveyed to the other party. Alice turned the pages of the villain book in her hand. "Looks like you're in a good mood at this time...... Finally got the money?"
"Although I don't care about my previous words, I don't know what you're referring to...... As a way to pass the time, I'll listen to it. He picked up the refreshments on the side.
From beginning to end, the silver-haired girl's head was not raised...... Maybe it's better than Jones's story, or the content in the villain's book?
For Alice's disrespectful behavior, Jones is not the first time to come into contact with people, and he has long been immune. Referring to this, Jones's expression was a little smug: "Miss mentioned before, about the definition of girlfriend, not all women are like this, and there are many pure existences. (If you don't understand this sentence, please look for Chapter 11 - The Romance of Freelancers)
"So...... What do you want to mean? Alice finally looked away from the villain book and looked at the freelance reporter in front of her, who was in a good mood.
"I ...... Soon, I'm going to get rid of the title of single Wang!" Jones said with a sigh.
In other words, you are still a single dog, and the future is uncertain, where did you have the courage and confidence to say this. "Alice teaches you how to hit others in a fancy way.
The words of "......" left Jones speechless.
"And, I can assure you. Eyes retracted, re-placed on the plot of the villain book in his hand, and the silver-haired girl's smile deepened: "I don't understand whether the girl who can take a fancy to you has a burned brain or some kind of force majeure, if nothing else, at least in this town, I'm sure you will never have a girlfriend." ”
“...... Is this a curse?" Jones snapped.
