Chapter 27: A Wider Way
"Alright, it's time to go home." The dean of the house said. Everyone from the academy followed him to the door, and Qi Qingrui was the first to speak: "Dean of the academy, I'll go and park the carriage first." "Well, you go get busy, let's go back first." It seems that the head of the academy still remembers the little follower who followed him, lowered his head and looked at Chen Chen gently, and said, "Child, we have to go back first, do you see if you follow us or wait for him to leave?" ”
Chen Chen looked at Qi Qingrui on the side, then at the dean and the others behind him, put on a self-righteous expression, and said with clear eyes: "I'd better follow Brother Qi Qingrui." "Look at the faces of the people behind you, all of them look bitter and hateful, and those who walk on the street and don't know think they are abducting children.
As a result, Qi Qingrui and the other group of people left one after another, and Chen Chen was the only one left in front of this spiritual building.
"So it's the outside world, and it's no different." Chenchen stepped on the steps with one foot, surveying the world around him. There are no two suns in the sky, and no pedestrians on the road have long teeth. Except for the crowd he felt when he first arrived, when he looked closely, everyone on the road was in a hurry, and even if he entered the nearby shops, he didn't come out for more than a quarter of an hour, and although he tried his best to discern what the nearest stores were selling.
"Hey!" Chen Chen tried to stop a passer-by casually, but the person still walked with his head down and walked frivolously, completely ignoring his appearance, "Your thing has dropped!" Feed! As a result, even if Chen Chen lied to him, he didn't react at all. Could it be that all the people in the capital are deaf? (Isn't it, aren't you afraid of being beaten up if you do this?) But when he studied the physiology of the people here, Qi Qingrui returned.
"How's it going, are you still a little dazed, a little scared, and a little overwhelmed when you first come to the city? It's okay, it's all normal, and when you stay here you'll find it wonderful. On the way to the college, Qi Qingrui still chatted like this. Who knew that Chen Chen didn't buy it at all, he just tilted his still slightly immature face and asked, "Are all the people in the city deaf, why do they ignore me when I talk to them?" ”
This question was asked Qi Qingrui all at once, originally he was boasting triumphantly about the advantages of the city with Chen Chen, and his expression at this moment was also frozen on his face like a sculpture. He tugged at the corners of his stiff mouth and diverted the topic: "By the way, do you know how the 'Wantong Summoning Machine' works?" Oops, it's the same machine that tested your spiritual endowment just now! Yes, it works by simulating almost all of the psionic powers, seeing if you have any particular reaction to the corresponding psionic abilities, and then writing them down on paper. Don't underestimate these words, these words are all compressed with pure spiritual energy, and they are guaranteed to never fade! That machine is even more powerful, the only one in the country! It's not that I don't want to build it, it's that I don't have the ability (you know, right?) This machine alone will cost a lot of manpower and material resources...... Hey, you slow down, wait for me! ”
"Goo......" A strange voice came.
"What sound?" Qi Qingrui pricked up his ears and listened attentively with his face sideways.
"It's my belly." Chen Chen pointed to his stomach and said.
"No......" Qi Qingrui was obviously a little skeptical.
"Coo......" There was another loud bang. But it doesn't seem to be like Chen Chen's words, the sound is coming from his stomach, but it's like-
"No, it came out of your mouth!"
Even if this situation is debunked, he naturally can't admit it, Chen Chen shook his rattle-like head and said, "No, it's definitely not that Chen Chen is hungry, and it's not time to eat yet." ”
How could Qi Qingrui not understand Chen Chen's retort, looked up at the sun in the middle of it, and said, "It seems that it's time for lunch, let's go, I'll invite this meal." Chen Chen thought to himself: Shouldn't this be?
"Wow, it's noodles!" Qi Qingrui took Chen Chen to sit down at a roadside stall, and when the food was served, Chen Chen said in a tone of no surprise. (The child is growing and you let him eat this?) "So the people in the city eat this, too? Chen Chen snorted while taking the time to speak, his mouth full of mockery.
"That's not it, even if there are rich people in this world, they still eat whole grains and drink mountain dew spring water." Qi Qingrui blurted out before his brain could react. After saying that, I tasted it in my mouth a few times, and then I felt that I was really literate. "That makes sense......" he muttered.
Chen Chen didn't care about his narcissistic appearance, for him, the bowl in front of him was much more important than listening to the nonsense of the person opposite.
Seeing that Chen Chen didn't react, Qi Qingrui changed the topic again: "Xiaoyou, you don't know, I brought you to this store for a reason." I'll tell you, this shop is ......."
Chen Chen, who sensed what he was going to say, shouted badly, and quickly opened his mouth to divert the topic: "By the way, you said that there are beautiful women in the city, and I didn't see a single one when I stood on the street for a long time while I was waiting for you, could it be that they all went home to escape the summer?" ”
Qi Qingrui, who could ask at this moment, was speechless, so he had to laugh: "It may be that you didn't go to the corresponding place, and when you got there, the handsome men and beauties grabbed a handful, believe me." ”
After this experience, Chen Chen finally had time to eat noodles quietly, because Qi Qingrui used more tongues elsewhere, he still had a lot left when Chen Chen turned the bowl in front of him into an empty bowl.
"What's wrong?" There was a sporadic sound from behind, like the sound of a strong wind suddenly rolling up objects around it and falling heavily. However, Qi Qingrui knew that it was sunny in broad daylight, how could a strong wind suddenly roll up.
"No, you're talking about eating whole grains." Chen Chen raised his chin and pointed at Qi Qingrui's back.
I saw that on the street, a group of "red people" surrounded a middle-aged man with a small appearance and a big belly. The middle-aged man was wearing a purple robe, and the belt tied around his waist had a delicate and gorgeous pattern, and he looked like he was either rich or expensive from the moment he wore it. A "red man" in front threw a hawker from the stall to the ground, and it seemed that this was the voice just now.
"Shhhh That is the city lord of this Yunyang City, Fan Zuolin. Be careful not to mess with him, or we'll not be able to eat and walk around. Qi Qingrui whispered.
"Get out of the way, the important treasures in the city lord's house have been stolen, and those who dare to obstruct our investigation will be dealt with as accomplices to the thieves!"
"It's really majestic......" Chen Chen muttered quietly, so frightened that Qi Qingrui hurriedly covered his mouth.
A "red man" walked up to them and looked at them with strange eyes, as if he was puzzled by their movements.
"You please, you please." Qi Qingrui nodded again and again.
The city lord and his subordinates gradually walked away, and the words in their ears were "Look at it, I'll say that this store is ......", and the city lord was far away in his eyes, and Chen Chen was thoughtful.
