Chapter 11: The Orange (Part II)
The town is backed by the far north, where it snows almost all year round, and there is no other scenery than a white expanse of snow.
The buildings and floors in the town are covered with a thin layer of snow, and if it weren't for the smell of fireworks, you wouldn't have noticed that there was a town here from above.
Xu Lanqing walked on the streets of the town, it was already dark, but the streets were still lively, the lights were bright, and many people were coming in and out on both sides.
Most of them are soul masters, and some of them are like him, who came here to obtain soul rings.
As for others, they have whimsical dreams, go to the far north to explore, thinking that they are walking on the road and suddenly fall into the snow valley, which is full of natural treasures, as well as legendary soul bones, and has soared into the sky ever since.
Of course, all you can bring back is a handful of snow, which may still be ashes.
A flash of golden light flashed across the sky, and the next moment, almost everyone turned their heads and looked at the golden sun in the sky, dispelling the cold, dazzling and warm.
"What's that?"
Xu Lanqing asked.
"There should be a powerful soul master fighting."
Jing Hongchen and Zheng Zhan's faces had a solemn look, that majesty, so far apart, still gave them a feeling of palpitations, it was hard to imagine how powerful that person was.
"Your Highness, the old man has already asked people to check it, so there is no need to worry." In my mind was Ye Yulin's voice.
Also, these things are too far away from him, so let's care about my situation first.
I'm going to get the soul ring tomorrow, and I don't know what kind of soul skills I'll get, and the group of evil soul masters who have been ghosting all the time, it's really unpleasant.
Thinking about miscellaneous things in my head, I walked back to the hotel in a distracted way.
Suddenly, Xu Lanqing's vision swept past a shop, his heart moved, his footsteps turned, and he walked over.
Orange barbecue.
The name of the shop was this, well, he was just a little curious about why the barbecue restaurant was called Tangerine.
Jing Hongchen and Zheng Zhengxian followed behind suspiciously, didn't His Highness just eat enough, why did he go to the barbecue restaurant again.
The business in the store was obviously good, most of the seats were full, just after looking at it, men accounted for the majority, but when he saw the people barbecing meat in the store, it was instantly clear.
The delicate long black hair is draped over the shoulders, and the white goose egg face is slightly feminine, which makes people love and pity, and she is indeed a beautiful woman.
The middle-aged beauty wearing an apron keeps turning the barbecue in her hand, the barbecue makes a sizzling sound, and drops of hot oil slowly slide down the lines of the plump meat, exuding a strong fragrance that is intoxicating.
Next to her was a little girl about eight or nine years old who was helping, and as soon as the meat was passed, she gave it to the guests.
After ordering a few random barbecues from the waiter, Xu Lanqing found a place with few people to sit down.
"The Soul King of the Five Rings is also a master in this small place." Jing Hongchen glanced at it and said casually.
No wonder the people here look quite honest, it turns out that they can't beat it.
Xu Lanqing is a little strange, what kind of barbecue restaurant does a soul king open here, and doing something casually is not more profitable than this.
But it's nothing, everyone has their own ambitions, maybe people like this.
The barbecue was soon ready, and it was the little girl who brought it over, and there was only a beautiful woman and her in this shop, except for a waiter, and her father was nowhere to be seen.
"Hello, your barbecue is ready."
A crisp and melodious voice like a silver bell came out of her mouth.
"Well, thank you."
Xu Lanqing nodded, he looked at the girl carved in pink, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was really cute.
The white and greasy skin is pink and moist, as if the water can be pinched out with a gentle pinch, a pair of big eyes are clear and pure, a slightly upturned little nose, and two small red lips, everything is just right.
The girl turned around, her hair tied into a ponytail and dangling at the back of her head.
Xu Lanqing retracted his gaze, picked up the barbecue in front of him and tasted it.
The barbecue melts in your mouth, and the explosive beauty spreads in your mouth, although the ingredients used are ordinary meats, and they have their own characteristics compared to the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the palace.
"Taste it, it's delicious."
Xu Lanqing felt that his stomach was a little hungry again.
Jing Hongchen and Zheng Zhan each took a bite and couldn't help but nod.
……
Dead.
The customers in the store are almost gone.
Xu Lanqing looked at the girl who was cleaning up, and couldn't help asking, "I see that your store is quite busy, why didn't you recruit a few more people?" ”
The girl replied with a smile, very cheerful: "The store will be closed in a few days, so there is no need to recruit." ”
"Oh, why?"
"Mom said that she would take me to the best soul master academy in Mingdu, and I am now a second-ring soul master."
The girl raised her head, but she did not shy away from it, and said anything outside.
It may be the first time I have seen a rich young master like Xu Lanqing, who is richly dressed and handsome, and has a good impression, after all, people like beautiful things.
Xu Lanqing looked at the girl with a little nostalgia in her eyes: "Are you reluctant to be here?" ”
"Of course, this is the store that Dad left behind, and Dad was taken away by the war, leaving only this shop......
The girl's big smart eyes became dim at this time, her eyes were slightly red, her cute little nose twitched slightly, and her lips pursed.
Seeing the girl's uncomfortable appearance, Xu Lanqing opened her mouth, and she didn't know what to say for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold.
"Sorry......"
After only a few moments, the girl was back to normal, with a lively and lovely smile on her face again, as if nothing had happened just now.
"Okay, I'm going to pack my things, and I'm almost forgetting to talk to you."
Xu Lanqing smiled, and finally asked, "I don't know your name yet, my name is Xu Lanqing, what is your name?" ”
"My name is Tangerine, and it's the same as the name of the store." The girl's big smart eyes blinked.
"Coincidentally, my favorite food is oranges." Unexpectedly, Xu Lanqing's eyes shook and he subconsciously spoke.
"Hmph."
The corners of Tangerine's mouth pursed, ignored him, and turned away with the plate.
Shaking his head with a smile, Xu Lanqing also left the store.
Zheng Zhan stood in place, his eyes were a little confused, he always felt that something was wrong.
As for Jing Hongchen, he reached out and rubbed his chin, as if he had found something......
Turning his head to look at Zheng Zhan, a single dog for decades, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let's go, don't think about it, I can't figure it out if I think about you." ”
Zheng Zhan scratched his head, inexplicably.
The other side.
Tangerine walked into the kitchen, put down the plate in his hand, and his mood was inevitably sluggish.
"What's the matter, baby daughter, who upset you, mother go clean up on him!" The beautiful woman raised her eyebrows, and her eyes were as sharp as a sword.
"No, I just remembered my dad." The orange's long eyelashes fluttered, and her voice was glutinous and soft.
The beautiful woman's momentum froze, she reached out and hugged the orange, and comforted: "Be happy, you also hope that he will see a happy orange." ”
"Hmm." The muffled voice of an orange sounded in his arms.
"Tangerines are so good."
The beautiful woman sighed in her heart, it was good to leave, every time she saw the orange sad and sad, she was also distressed.
……
Simple white room.
Tangerine was lying on the bed, holding a portrait of a middle-aged man in her hand, staring blankly, like a delicate doll.
Crystal tears fell from the corners of her eyes and crossed the corners of her mouth, and she licked them, salty and bitter, and her mood was even worse.
Somehow, she remembered the good-looking little boy from before.
I don't know why I talked to him so much today, because he's good-looking?
Phew, she's not a person who judges people by their appearance.
He shook his head irritably, and his heart became even more annoyed.
"Ahhh
"Little boy, you like to eat oranges, don't you, the next time you meet me, I'll hit you with oranges, stuff them in your mouth, and let you eat enough!"
As soon as the light flashed, an orange-red, bright and full orange appeared on her hand, and with a strong flick, it smashed directly on the wall inside, and an orange-red orange mark suddenly appeared on the wall.
vented for a while, imagining the scene of the little boy being smashed by her with an orange, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile, and he felt a little better.
