Chapter 335: Lufik
Time finally spanned the last day of the empire's nine hundred and sixty-two years.
On this night, in the dìdū, in the shop owned by Duke Tulip's estate, Du Wei's invention of "fireworks" became the best-selling thing. Even the palace came to purchase several large cars.
In addition, Du Wei also ordered a batch of small fireworks suitable for civilian use to be produced in the factory to be sold to the civilians of Dìdū.
Taking advantage of the joyful season at the end of the year, a large number of gold coins once again flowed into Du Wei's pocket. As for Xiao Zack, the number one business CEO under Du Wei, he is smiling.
On this night, the sky above dìdū, brilliant ceremonial flowers shimmered throughout the night, illuminating the sky above dìdū as if it were day. In the square of the palace, a special control order was issued, and the largest fireworks from Duvit to the royal family were set off here. This thing is much more majestic than the "Dawning Goddess Forgiveness" that Du Wei made out to celebrate his mother's birthday.
Looking at the sky blooming one by one, Du Wei did not go to the square to watch the ceremony at the moment, even though countless wealthy nobles went to the square in front of the palace to see the ceremony tonight, but Du Wei said that he was sick and rested at home.
He sat alone on the roof of the highest building in the Duke's Palace, his legs hunched over the eaves, and a bottle of fine wine beside him. Even though the night was very cold, Du Wei seemed to be very comfortable.
"Another year...... I'm alone again. Du Wei sighed, touched the bottle and took a sip, then laughed at the starry sky in the distance. Say loudly: "Happy New Year!"
A sense of loneliness suddenly arose in his heart - Du Wei had been in this world for many years, although he felt that he had gradually adapted to it. Even has dissolved into this world, and even sometimes, he has become accustomed to calling himself a "Rolander". But the old Chinese saying is great: think of your relatives every festive season.
It is only in this kind of festival time that everyone celebrates, and the loneliness of the heart flashes like a ghost. Always remind myself: I am different from the people in this world.
In fact. Thinking about it now, Du Wei can't help but feel a little ridiculous with such feelings.
Originally, he thought that he was a pure person who had crossed over from the original world. But now I know that I have actually lived in this world for several lifetimes! Du Wei 1 ...... Hum.
If you count it like this, you will spend your days in this other world. Even more than in previous lives on Earth.
"Zhuang Zhou dreams of butterflies, which is the butterfly. Who is me?" said Du Wei smirked self-deprecatingly.
Far away. There was a lively hustle and bustle in the streets. And in the distance in the sky. One by one, the ceremonial flowers bloomed in the roar. The festive atmosphere on the street seemed to be smelled from afar.
That's when it happened. There was a sudden silence in Du Weidi's heart...... Now integrated. Why do you have such a childish sour mentality?
Looking at the street in the distance...... Presumably now. Let's all be in a happy atmosphere.
Today. Even the servants of the Duke's Mansion were dressed in new clothes.
Think about it here. Du Wei suddenly had an impulse in his heart...... Looking at the street in the distance, there was a faint glow of the fireworks.
"Actually. How many people know. I didn't make this firework to make money. Du Wei whispered to himself: "I just want to take this world." Try to make it more like the world I used to be. ”
When a person is getting more and more lonely. In fact, my heart is more and more yearning for those lively occasions. If you can't think of the local people, this kind of time. will lock himself up alone.
Ke Du Wei ...... After he had taken his last sip of wine, he suddenly threw the bottle off the roof. Flicked the clothes. Laughing: "Stupid, stupid!"
Then he flew off the roof of the building and landed on the ground. Strode outside.
When they came to the antechamber of the Duke's Palace, the servants saw their master. Immediately they all stood at a distance and gave salutes.
Du Wei smiled faintly. Walk through quickly. I walked to the door and listened to the sound of fireworks and firecrackers coming from outside in the distance. The impulse in Du Wei's heart was even more vigorous.
Waved casually to let a few guards retreat: "I'll go out for a walk alone, don't follow me...... Hmmm......"
When he said this, he suddenly saw that he was honest. Even a young man who was standing in the corner of the wall in the distance with a timid look, Du Wei smiled and hooked his fingers: "Lufik, you go out for a walk with me." ”
This Lu Fik is naturally the "future king of the South Seas" from Nanyang, but at this moment he has to be by Du Weidi's side, and he has endured the fear of Du Weidi, and even became a groom from other places.
Looking at the frightened expression on Lufik's face, Du Wei's attitude today was particularly kind: "Okay, boy, don't talk nonsense, follow me out." ”
After speaking, he strode out of the Duke's Palace, and Lufik did not dare to delay, so he could only follow obediently.
The fear of Du Wei has been deeply imprinted in his heart, and the more Du Wei smiles at himself at this moment, the more awe he is in Lu Fik's heart.
The two of them went one after the other, and after turning two streets, they came to the bustling place of dìdū.
Lufik followed quietly, and Du Wei glanced back at him rarely, and smiled: "Are you afraid of me?"
Lufik** shrank back, the undisguised fear in the young man's eyes made Du Wei smile, he stretched out his hand and patted the young man's shoulder: "Very good, I am very satisfied with your performance." You remember one thing: it's normal and not surprising that you're afraid of me.
In fact, as long as you don't disobey me in the future, I won't punish you. And I don't want you to be cowardly because of this, remember, you are the one who could be king in the future. “
As he spoke, he gently nudged the young man, and then actually pulled the young man to walk side by side with him.
On the bustling street, there are many young children jumping up and down with fireworks, and it seems that Du Wei has come up with this new gadget, which is very popular with people.
"Lord. ...... hosts"
Lufik hesitated suddenly. Timid opening. Although he was afraid of Du Wei in his heart, he was still a teenager after all, looking at the prosperity on the road, as well as the fireworks in the hands of those children, he couldn't help but show a look of yearning: "You, you are ...... today"
"Why are you so gentle today?" Du Wei smiled faintly, and then he whispered: "Lufik, you are not from Roland, your hometown is in Nanyang, that is." You are a stranger. ”
Then he whispered something that only he could hear: "And I...... Also a stranger. ”
Du Wei suddenly walked to the side of the road and grabbed the two children who were preparing to set off fireworks. Then two fingers took a gold coin from his pocket and smiled: "I'll exchange this for something in your hand." Okay, okay?"
Although the two children are very playful, they are old enough to tell how much money there is. glanced at Du Wei, couldn't help but have a light in his eyes, and nodded busily. Without waiting for Du Wei to speak, he quickly threw the fireworks in his hand on the ground. Then he took Du Wei's gold coin, turned around and ran away.
"Wow. Take it. These are your land, and you want to play in a moment. Just have fun. ”
Du Wei sighed and actually touched Lufik's head: "Child, after all, it's just a child." ”
Lufik's eyes darkened. Suddenly, there was a flash of something other than fear, and there was a faint hint of emotion.
Walked to the intersection of the street, watched Xiao Lu Fik happily lit a firework, in the firelight, a brilliant spark erupted, Lu Fik's immature face was full of excitement and joy, Du Wei sighed in his heart, couldn't help but think: Am I too strict with him?
With this in mind, during the next shopping trip, Du Wei even bought a bag of candy for Lufik. The master and servant actually held candy in their hands and ate all the way.
Gradually, under the lively atmosphere of the street, the indifference in Du Wei's eyes finally faded little by little, and he seemed to really integrate into this atmosphere. Lufik finally raised his head unconsciously, no longer cowering - of course, whenever he faced Du Wei, he was still full of awe.
When the two walked to the end of the street, they turned a corner, and the next road was not so prosperous, and Du Wei suddenly saw that there was a tavern open on the side of the road, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
It's New Year's night at the moment, and every family probably won't run out to eat and drink, and it's almost late at night, so a tavern is still open for business, where will there be any business?
With a hint of curiosity, Du Wei casually walked into the door of this house. After walking in, I found that this tavern did not look very prosperous, the hall seemed very narrow and low, and from the perspective of environment and decoration, it was also a little old, which was a little out of place with the atmosphere outside.
Even in order to save money, even the lamps were only lit twice.
At this moment, in the empty hall, there is not even a single guest except himself.
A young man who looked to be only a teenager, dressed as a waiter, saw Du Wei come in and quickly greeted him warmly. And behind the counter, a woman in her thirties also hurried out.
Du Wei withdrew his looking eyes and found a random chair to sit down.
"Honorable guest, what do you need?" the young man squirmed, but his speech was a little unclear, as if he was saying this extremely jerky, and he seemed to be a novice.
Du Wei smiled, took out a gold coin from his arms and put it on the table: "Just get some food and drink, it's cold enough this day, make a brazier next to me." ”
When the waiter saw this gold coin, his eyes immediately widened, but the person who looked like the female boss next to him hurriedly walked over, looked embarrassed, and said respectfully to Du Wei: "Guest...... You, we don't have anything worth the price here......"
Du Wei saw the other party's embarrassment: "It's okay, you can get a little bit of what you have here, and the extra should be a tip for the waiter." ”
He could see from the contours of the faces of the waiter and the female boss that these two were either ** or sister and brother.
Soon, the food was delivered. The landlady was very honest and did not lie, there was really nothing good here, and the food served was nothing more than a bowl of stuffed meat, and a plate of beans boiled in salted water, and the wine that was sent, Du Wei took a sip, and it was all relatively bad cracked wine - fortunately, it was strong enough.
The landlady looked a little frightened: "There are only these things left in the store, and we really don't dare to take a gold coin of yours...... Please also ......"
Du Wei smiled slightly: "It's nothing, since I have rewarded this child, there is no reason to take it back." ”
Lu Fik next to him, who followed Du Wei for a night today, saw that Du Wei was a little bolder to himself and Yan Yue, coughed, stood behind Du Wei, and said to the female boss: "What our master rewarded, you can accept it." Our master is noble, and what he took out, where is the reason to take it back?"
After asking the boss and the waiter to step down, Du Wei pointed to the chair next to him: "Lufic, sit down and drink with me." ”
The young man was stunned and looked at Du Wei in disbelief.
"Look at what? Afraid I'll eat you? Sit down, I'll let you drink with me." Du Wei said lightly, and Lufik quickly sat down.
After eating something, Du Wei was very satisfied with the food, and the boiled beans in salt water were very delicious. And the meat is also very stuffy and fragrant. It seems that the owner here has a good craft.
As for Lufik, he only carefully touched the edge of the chair with his butt, but he didn't dare reach out to eat. Du Wei smiled, he didn't know why, tonight suddenly felt a little pity for this young man - probably sympathy.
