"Although he is stubborn in his mouth, he is very honest in his stomach." Miao Zhen smiled and grabbed Xu Shuo's arm, "Come with me, Brother Xu Shuo, please eat, but it's not a good thing, don't look forward to it too much." ”

"Wait...... I said no, let the children invite me to dinner, like something. ”

Seeing that Xu Shuo still wanted to refuse, Miao Zhen puffed out his mouth and looked at Xu Shuo pretending to be angry.

"What, Brother Xu Shuo looks down on me because I'm a child?"

Xu Shuo hurriedly denied: "No, this is not ......"

"Let's go, then." Miao Zhen said.

couldn't resist Miao Zhen, Xu Shuo had to obediently follow this kind little girl.

Miao Zhen took Xu Shuo back to the tavern where she lived (although she lived in an underground warehouse), which was bustling with activity, with many workers in turbans gathered around the dining table to talk and laugh loudly, and scruffily dressed drunks lying on the table singing. The bald boss was serving the food himself, and the place behind the bar was replaced by a middle-aged woman who was talking and laughing with the guests while pouring drinks.

Miao Zhen pulled Xu Shuo to sit down at a wooden table, and then beckoned to the bald boss.

"Boss, boss!" Miao Zhen shouted at the bald boss: "I want a bowl of noodle broth!" And my dinner too! ”

"Noodles in broth?" The bald boss turned his head with a somewhat surprised expression, but when he saw Xu Shuo sitting next to Miao Zhen, his expression changed from surprise to displeasure.

Xu Shuo noticed this, but he pretended not to see it, and lowered his head not to look at the terrible eyes of his boss.

"Brother Xu Shuo, tell me, how did you join the Bounty Hunters Guild?" Miao Zhen looked excited.

"Huh? Well...... this."

Xu Shuo told the content of the test and how he judged Mei's direction of movement and then slapped Mei's thigh, but he didn't say that he used skills, only that he passed the test by relying on his own reflexes.

Miao Zhen said "so powerful" as he listened, his eyes shining with adoration.

“…… Later, when I registered, the president found out that I was Lv1 and said that I was supposed to be the lowest level among all the members. Xu Shuo said as he spoke, and suddenly felt that he was really awesome, and he laughed.

"Really? Brother Xu Shuo, have you only passed the test with Lv1? Miao Zhen looked envious, "It's good, I also want to join the guild, I heard that doing guild tasks can make a lot of money." ”

"It should be, when I make money, I'll pay you a meal." Xu Shuo said with a smile.

Xu Shuo suddenly had a wonderful feeling, he hadn't chatted with someone like this at the dinner table for a long time, he didn't have any friends when he was a student, and after graduation, he even ate takeout to spend his days, and he couldn't even remember who he had dinner with last time.

(Uncle, maybe.) ）

Thinking of his uncle, Xu Shuo's mood couldn't help but go down. His mother died in childbirth because of childbirth, his father fled because of gambling debts, and has not returned home, he was raised by his uncle's family, but his uncle's family thought he was a burden, and did not give him a good look, in that family he has been cautious, he saved some money part-time, and moved out of his uncle's house at the age of seventeen. Later, I accidentally discovered that I could make money playing games, so I began to make a living by playing games. As a result, he died suddenly because of intemperate playing, which is really declining enough.

Xu Shuo smiled and smiled, and the smile on his face turned into a wry smile.

Just then, the bald boss walked to the table with a plate, and then placed a plate of sliced bread, a glass of water, and a bowl of noodles on the table. The bowl of noodles looked really bumpy enough, the soup was crystal clear, and there were only two rotten vegetable leaves floating on it.

Before Xu Shuo could complain, Miao Zhen spoke first.

"It's a clear soup noodle noodle soup, right? Boss, I want noodle broth. Miao Zhen said to the boss.

"Noodles in broth, are you eating?" The bald boss asked.

"No, I ordered it for Brother Xu Shuo." Miao Zhen pointed to Xu Shuo, who was sitting across the table.

"Is he in for a treat?" The bald boss asked again.

"I please...... Boss, why do you say this? Miao was a little unhappy.

"Are you rich? I don't charge you rent, so you have money to spend, don't you? I'm telling you, don't be fooled by unknown people. The bald boss said, glancing at Xu Shuo meaningfully, "You can tell the difference between well-nourished people and malnourished people by looking at their faces, and the eldest young master who has been raised white and tender will come to a place like ours, and he must have other intentions." ”

"Young Master?" Xu Shuo pointed at himself with a confused expression, "Boss, do you have any misunderstanding about me?" Homeless people like me are all young masters, and those who sleep on the street outside can be regarded as masters. ”

"Brother Xu Shuo is my friend, boss, don't be like this." Miao Zhen raised his head and said to the boss.

"Miao Zhen, you can't trust anything these days, don't you ......" The bald boss was halfway through his words, suddenly frowned, pointed to Miao Zhen's face and asked, "What's wrong with your face?" ”

Xu Shuo looked at Miao Zhen's face, and suddenly found that one side of Miao Zhen's face was a little purple and a little swollen, obviously he had been beaten. Before, because Miao Zhen's hair was blocked, he didn't notice it, but now because Miao Zhen raised his head to talk to the boss, he showed his purple cheeks.

Xu Shuo remembered that Miao Zhen's face was not like this when they separated today, what happened in the hours after he and Miao Zhen separated?

Before he could ask, the bald boss suddenly grabbed Xu Shuo's collar and lifted the latter up from the chair.

"Bastard, did you do it?!" The boss's spittle flew Xu Shuo's face.

"Hey, hey, it's not me, you're mistaken!" Xu Shuo hurriedly said.

"Miao Zhenming is with you today, you said it wasn't you?!"

The boss raised his fist, as if he was ready to teach Xu Shuo a lesson.

Seeing this scene, Miao Zhen screamed loudly: "Don't do this!! ”

The boss was stunned, and the entire tavern fell silent, and people looked at the show.

"It's none of Brother Xu Shuo's business, Brother Xu Shuo is a good person. Please, boss, I'm fine, don't shame me! Miao Zhen said loudly, and there was a trace of crying in the end, "I will give the money for the noodles, and I will pay the rent every month in the future!" So please, don't do that! ”

The boss was yelled at like this, and he completely lost the momentum just now.

"I, I didn't mean that......" The boss let go of Xu Shuo and looked at Miao Zhen apologetically, "I'm sorry, Miao Zhen, it seems that I was too impulsive." ”

Miao Zhen lowered his head and shook it gently.

The boss glanced at Xu Shuo, then at Miao Zhen, picked up the clear soup noodles on the table, and said, "I know, I'll change the broth noodles for you." He turned and shouted to the spectators, "Look, drink your wine!" ”

After saying that, the boss took the clear soup noodles to the back kitchen, and after a while, he came over with a new bowl of noodles and put it on the table. This time, the soup is golden brown, and although the meat foam on the noodles is negligible, it looks at least much better than the clear soup noodles.

"I made a mistake just now, this bowl of noodles is my atonement, and I don't have to pay for it." The boss said.

"No, how can you eat without giving money." Miao Zhen said, looked around left and right, then she took off her shoes, poured out more than a dozen steel hammers from it, sniffed, counted the number of steel hammers, held it in her hand and handed it to the boss, "There is one more, I will give it to you tomorrow." ”

The boss opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he only let out a silent sigh, took the money from Miao Zhen's hand, and then turned around and left, he glanced at Xu Shuo before leaving, and he didn't know what he thought in his heart.

After the boss left, Miao Zhen looked at Xu Shuo and said, "I'm sorry, the boss is just worried, that's why he's like this, but in fact, he is a very good person, can you not be angry with him?" ”

"Uh, yes." Xu Shuo nodded, and after hesitating for a while, he pointed to the injury on Miao Zhen's face and asked, "That, what is the injury on your face......

Miao Zhen touched his face and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the boss of the rock sugar factory today knows that I have destroyed important goods, so he is a little angry......"

"That's not your fault, it's a bit too much, isn't it?" Xu Shuo said.

Miao Zhen shook his head and said, "That boss didn't let me lose money, which is already good, it's okay, although it's a pity that I lost the job I finally found...... Don't talk about that. ”

"Let's eat noodles, the broth noodles made by the boss are delicious." A smile reappeared on Miao Zhen's face.

"Uh-oh."

Xu Shuo picked up his chopsticks, looked at the noodle broth in front of him, and swallowed his saliva.

(It's so heavy, this noodle is too heavy, hey!) How do you eat such heavy noodles! ）
