Volume 1: A World Made Out of Nothing (Forty) Got on the Ship of Thieves
"Xiao Lu!" Out of the examination room, Yan Yue looked listless, "I'm afraid I'm going to have a hard time passing this time." ”
"What's wrong? Didn't you answer those questions? Yu Tianlu asked.
"Yes, yes, yes. I followed the method you gave me, and I imagined that all those topics were food-related, and I wrote a lot of them. But there are a lot of topics I can't even imagine. Yan Yue shook his head and said.
"You didn't open the skylight on those topics, did you?"
"Not really. Didn't you tell me? In any case, you can't open the skylight, even if you put a formula on it, you can let the teacher give points at his discretion. ”
"It's good if it's not empty." Yu Tianlu breathed a sigh of relief, "Anyway, I will do my best to obey the destiny of heaven!" ”
"That's right, do your best to obey the destiny of God, and everyone just wants to open it." At this time, a familiar and hearty laugh sounded from behind the two.
No need to ask, it is naturally that hot-blooded boy Wu Lianzhi.
"Why Brother Wu, it looks like you ...... in this exam" Yu Tianlu looked at Wu Lianzhi's face full of bitterness. This is very different from his high-spirited appearance before the exam.
"It's really better to count people than to be counted by heaven. The difficulty of the questions in this exam has obviously increased by more than one notch compared to the previous time. Wu Lianzhi was like a deflated ball, "In vain, Wu Lianzhi has worked hard to prepare for a year, and this time it seems that the hard work will be in vain." ”
"I didn't expect you to be able to do those questions!" Yan Yue looked at Wu Lianzhi, full of the feeling of "the same person who has fallen from the end of the world".
"Actually, you don't have to be so desperate." Yu Tianlu said at this time.
"Brother Yu, where did you start with this?" Wu Lianzhi hurriedly asked.
"Although this exam is indeed very difficult, it is the same for other candidates. I believe that compared with the score line of the previous session, this time it will definitely be lowered a lot. Yu Tianlu analyzed.
"Is that really the case?" Wu Lianzhi is still skeptical.
"You have to believe Xiao Lu, he said that the score line will be lowered, and it will definitely be lowered." Yan Yue said with an oath.
Although Wu Lianzhi was a little skeptical, the exams were over, and he could only accept it calmly.
At this moment, his eyes were once again on the two new friends.
"Okay, Brother Wu, let's say goodbye, let's see you when the list is released!" After speaking, Yu Tianlu pulled Yan Yue and prepared to leave.
"Wait, two friends!" Who knew that Wu Lianzhi hurriedly stopped in front of the two.
"Wu Lianzhi? What are you doing here? Yan Yue was a little unhappy.
At this time, he remembered that this Wu Lianzhi was the young gang leader of the "Wu Lian Gang", and maybe he still remembered the hatred before the exam!
Wu Lianzhi looked at Yan Yue's face, and also smiled: "What are you thinking about this big guy?" I mean, a few of us are very close to each other, and I do the east at night, which can be regarded as the friendship of the landlord! ”
"So you're going to have a treat!" Yan Yue was immediately overjoyed.
Yu Tianlu coughed and was just about to say something to excuse himself, but Yan Yue's stomach gurgled uncontrollably.
"Haha, it looks like you're really hungry!" Wu Lianzhi laughed.
"I'm sorry Brother Wu, my brother is really ......" Yu Tianlu was also a little embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. You two don't shirk it, come with me! Wu Lianzhi invited.
"I'm not prevaricating!" Yan Yue preemptively said, "I don't have a small appetite, be careful to eat you." ”
"Hahaha! Don't underestimate our 'Wu Lian Gang'! Wu Lianzhi said disappreciably, "Today I said to be the east, and I promise to let you fill your stomachs." ”
"That's what you said, don't regret it!" Yan Yue also smiled.
Of course, before leaving, Yu Tianlu did not forget to say hello to Shopkeeper Feng.
"Shopkeeper Feng, you can go back first. We'll be back on our own in the evening. ”
"Young Master Yu, Young Master Yan, you two be careful with yourselves!" Shopkeeper Feng hurriedly said.
Although Shopkeeper Feng was a little worried, but after seeing the combat effectiveness shown by the two of them before, he also knew that even the "Wu Lian Gang" couldn't do anything to these two underage imps.
So he followed Yu Tianlu's instructions and went back to the inn first.
"Alright, you guys come with me!" Wu Lianzhi greeted the two new acquaintances and said, "But I'm sorry, I didn't arrange someone to pick us up, so if you want to go to dinner, you need to walk a little." ”
"Let's go! As long as it fills your stomach! "As long as Yan Yue has something to eat, he has unlimited motivation.
So Wu Lianzhi led the way in front, and the two little friends followed him.
After walking for more than two hours, Yu Tianlu found that the two had been taken to a remote place by this newly made friend.
"This guy can't be trying to get revenge from the past, right?" Yu Tianlu couldn't help but be vigilant, but after thinking about it, it didn't seem to be such a possibility, "If this guy really wants revenge, he can take action against us outsiders before the exam." ”
And Yan Yue seems to be very close to Wu Lianzhi.
But after walking for such a long time, this big stomach king couldn't help but start complaining.
"I said Wu Lianzhi, where is your hotel? It's almost an hour gone! ”
"What's the matter, look at you like this big guy, can't you hold on?" Wu Lianzhi asked with a smile, "I go back and forth several times a day!" ”
"I don't have a problem, but Xiao Lu ...... him," Yan Yue said, and couldn't help but look back at Yu Tianlu.
"Don't look at me, I can hold on." Yu Tianlu hurriedly said.
"Don't worry, it'll be here soon." Wu Lianzhi pointed to a tall tower not far away, "Do you see that watchtower?" ”
"So there it was!"
"No, when you get there, walk five miles to the east, and four miles to the west."
"Ahh It's going to take so long! At this moment, Yan Yue's stomach was already beating loudly, "Why didn't you tell us in advance that you have to walk so much!" I knew that at least when I passed by the roadside stall over there, I would have bought a snack or two to cushion it! ”
"Haha! Would you like to come with me if you knew you were going to go so far? Wu Lianzhi smiled slyly.
"You guy!" Yan Yue said angrily.
"Alright, alright. Don't be angry! I'll be sure to give you a good meal when the time comes. And did you know that when people are tired, things taste extra delicious! Wu Lianzhi said with a smile.
There is no turning back when the bow is opened, and now let the two of them turn back, even the simple-minded Yan Yue knows that the gains outweigh the losses.
It was not so easy to go down when they got on the thief ship, so the two of them could only follow Wu Lianzhi and continue to walk.
But it's okay, this time Wu Lianzhi didn't pit them again, and after walking this Mao Shili Road, they finally arrived at the destination of this trip, a somewhat dilapidated hotel.
"Alright, we're here!" Wu Lianzhi pointed to the signboard at the entrance of the store and introduced it to the two, "This is the most famous restaurant under our 'Wu Lianbang', 'Wu Lian Canteen'." ”
Yu Tianlu looked up and saw that the walls of this hotel looked very old, and even the paint loss of the signboard hanging at the door was very serious.
It is located in the most remote corner of the northwest corner of the provincial capital, and the surrounding residential areas are very old. However, there are quite a few people here, and they come and go to decorate the neighborhood very lively.
Located in the center of the neighborhood, "Wulian Canteen" is much larger than other shops, making it stand out.
It's just that across the street from the hotel is a large transport company, and the shirtless porters seem to be very busy coming in and out.
Yu Tianlu also noticed that the signboard of the transportation company also had the word "Wu Lian", so he asked, "This transportation company is also yours, right?" ”
"Brother Yu's observation is good!" Wu Lianzhi said with a smile, "This street here is covered by our 'Wu Lianbang'!" ”
"Your 'Wulian Gang' is quite powerful!" Yan Yue muttered.
"Xiao Zhi is back!" At this time, a chubby aunt came up and said to Wu Lianzhi, "How did you do in this entrance exam?" ”
"It turned out to be Aunt Yu!" Seeing this, Wu Lianzhi hurriedly greeted, "Don't worry, there is absolutely no problem this time." I would definitely be the first on the block to enter the Royal Academy. ”
"That's a good dare, go back and add more good dishes to dinner." Aunt Yu said with a smile.
"Aunt Yu, I'm not alone this time." Wu Lianzhi pointed to Yu Tianlu and Yan Yue beside him, "This is a friend I just met in the examination room, and I may be classmates in the future." Don't forget to get them some good food! ”
"Wrapped up in Auntie, Xiaozhi's friend is our friend in the canteen. I'm going to get ready, and I'm going to prepare some more hard dishes for your children. Aunt Yu said as she twisted her fat body and walked quickly into the dining hall.
"Your name is Xiaozhi?" Yan Yue looked at Wu Lianzhi with strange eyes.
"What? Who doesn't have a nickname! Wu Lianzhi glanced at Yan Yue.
"This is ...... for Auntie"
"Aunt Yu is the proprietress of this canteen, don't look at her so fat now, she used to be a famous beauty in this neighborhood! Twenty years ago, you went to inquire and talked about Yu Xiaoya's name, which is the goal pursued by many men! Wu Lianzhi said very seriously.
"You said this fat aunt's name is Yu Xiaoya......" Yan Yue held back a smile.
"Ah Yue, we are here to be guests, don't be so rude!"
Yu Tianlu's eyes widened, and Yan Yue hurriedly closed his voice.
"Xiaozhi, it's early to come back today!" At this time, a lame old man also walked to Wu Lianzhi's side.
"The exam ended early, so I brought my friends over early!" Wu Lianzhi hurriedly said, "Uncle Yao, haven't you seen you for a while?" ”
"My leg is not angry these days! Lay in bed for days. Uncle Yao shook his head and said, "It's been a little unfavorable in the past two days." Thanks to your father's medicine, I'm able to walk now! Xiaozhi, go back and thank you dad for me! ”
"Uncle Yao, it's just a gesture. I'll bring it back. Wu Lianzhi said, "Uncle Yao, be careful when you go back!" ”
"Don't worry! I'm still holding up on this old bone, and I'll live a few more years to see the day you become an elephant chemist! Uncle Yao touched Wu Lianzhi's head, and then limped away.
"This is ......," Yu Tianlu looked at Uncle Yao's back and couldn't help asking.
"His name is Yao Junqi, he broke a leg during the Great Patriotic War, he was alone, and he didn't have any children to take care of him." Wu Lianzhi sighed, "He watched me grow up, and he taught me a lot of things when I was a child!" ”
The next neighborhoods that the three of them walked through actually greeted Wu Lianzhi. It seems that the little K of this "Wu Lian Gang" is very popular in this neighborhood, which makes Yu Tianlu feel a little surprised.
"I didn't expect this Wu Lianzhi to look a little different from the young masters of other gangs." Yu Tianlu said in his heart, "These people don't have any awe when they look at Wu Lianzhi, but they are all like old friends. ”
Thinking of Wu Qingyi's domineering appearance before, Yu Tianlu couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
