There is still some time before most of the workers get off work, so there are still not many people on the road. The three of them were wandering on the street, Mu Haisen wanted to see if there were any other intermediaries, and he also found a few, but they were all closed, so he had no choice but to give up.

Walking and walking, he saw a barbecue stall on the side of the road, Mu Haisen screamed in his stomach, probably hungry, so he said, "Why don't we eat and go back?"

Wu Hou and Duanmu Shenjiu were also a little hungry, so they nodded in response. So the three of them walked into the barbecue stall, ordered some meat skewers and vegetables, and estimated that they were almost full after finishing these skewers.

In the hospitality of the boss, the three of them sat at a table in the middle, Mu Haisen asked for a barrel of draft beer, Wu Hou reminded him not to drink and drive, and he grinned and said I know which road there is no traffic police. Wu Hou was speechless, thinking that this is really a one-size-fits-all approach.

One person drank a glass of draft beer, and the food he ordered was not served, Wu Hou was a little anxious, so he looked at the barbecue grill on the side of the road. The meat skewers ordered by the three of them were roasting on the shelf, and the boss was very skillful in flipping the meat skewers back and forth with one hand, and the charcoal in the shelf kept fanning with a puff fan in the other.

The fat seeped out of the surface of the meat, covering the meat skewers with a very appetizing crystal, Wu Hou stared at the fragrant meat skewers, and on the side of the road in front of the barbecue grill, there were also people staring at the meat skewers.

Wu Hou saw this person, it was the young man he had just met in the intermediary. Wasn't he sent to a nightclub by the intermediary boss? Why is he here? Wu Hou was curious, and glanced at Mu Haisen and Duanmu Shenjiu, and motioned for them to look at the side of the road.

The young man still carried the big bow wrapped in strips of cloth and the tattered bag of fertilizer in his hand. At this time, he was intently looking at the meat skewers on the barbecue grill, which was about to be cooked, and his throat moved slightly, probably swallowing saliva. Penniless, he has a thirst for food on his face and the helplessness of not having money to fill his stomach.

Wu Hou opened his mouth and called him, "Hey, come and sit here." ”

Mu Haisen was displeased, and muttered: "What are you calling him for!"

Wu Hou smiled and didn't speak. The young man was in front of the barbecue grill, heard the shouting, and also saw Wu Hou. He hesitated, not knowing whether to come over or not, but seeing Wu Hou waving repeatedly, he strode in and came to the table of the three.

Duanmu Shenjiu held the wine glass expressionlessly, Mu Haisen glared at him with disgust, only Wu Hou, who felt pity for him in his heart, and said softly: "Sit here, eat some together." ”

With a hesitant face, the young man said, "I don't have any money." ”

"It's okay, I don't want your money. By the way, why didn't you go there to work?"

The young man replied, "You are right, even if you starve to death, there are some things that cannot be done. ”

"Hey, yes, that's right. Wu Hou smiled and said, "I'm very hungry, aren't you? ”

Young people are in their early twenties, probably the most important age in a man's life. As the saying goes, a gentleman doesn't eat what he eats, but this world is like this, a rich man is difficult, and a man without money is difficult. After struggling for a while, the young man put his bag on the edge of the stool and sat down with a red face.

But after sitting down, he was obviously very embarrassed, his hands were not on the table, nor was he put down, so he had to pick up the bag from the ground again and hold it in his arms, so as to relieve his embarrassment a little.

Wu Hou saw his crampedness and comforted: "Don't be nervous, it's okay." ”

At this time, the boss brought the grilled meat skewers and vegetables, and the food on three plates was full, and it looked delicious at a glance. The young man looked at the meat skewers, the aroma was tangy, his throat couldn't help but move, and his stomach rumbled twice.

Wu Hou picked up two skewers of meat, handed them to him, and said, "Come, eat." ”

The young man looked at Wu Hou and shook his head.

"What's wrong?" Wu Hou wondered.

"I'll just eat a staple food. "The young man is colorful.

Mu Haisen snorted angrily, and his tone sounded like he was saying, you still pick it, and you won't eat the meat.

Wu Hou smiled, put down the meat skewers helplessly, and opened his mouth to ask, "What staple food do you want to eat?"

The young man touched his stomach and said embarrassedly, "Just eat a bowl of noodles." ”

Wu Hou nodded and asked the boss for another bowl of noodles. Mu Haisen had already picked up the meat skewers and ate them, smacking his mouth while eating, making a sound, and intermittently saying, "It's so fragrant." ”

Duanmu Shenjiu was much more elegant, holding a meat skewer in one hand, for fear that the oil would drip on his body, he bowed slightly to the side, took a bite, his mouth moved slightly, and he didn't even make a sound. Wu Hou also picked up the meat skewers, and he handed it to the young man again, but the young man still refused, and Wu Hou had to eat it himself.

Eating meat skewers and drinking wine, Mu Haisen feasted, ignoring the young man on the side. Since sitting here just now, Mu Haisen has expressed his dislike more than once, in fact, others are not bad, but he just felt that he was a little unhappy at the door of the intermediary just now, letting this young man go in first.

The young man could feel Mu Haisen's disgust, and his head lowered more and more until he buried it in the fertilizer bag in his arms. Duanmu Shenjiu was expressionless from beginning to end, but in the end he glared at Mu Haisen, and Mu Haisen's attitude was better.

The noodles were served, and Wu Hou asked the boss to put them directly in front of the young man, and said, "Eat it, be careful of scalding." Put the bag on the ground and no one will take your stuff. ”

The young man nodded, put the bag in his arms on the ground, took the chopsticks handed over by Wu Hou, and devoured them, looking not afraid of being hot at all. This noodle had just come up from the pot, and the temperature could be imagined, but seeing that the young man in front of him was still eating it in large gulps, Wu Hou and Mu Haisen were shocked.

Mu Haisen looked like a starving ghost, and said, "Oh, slow down, slow down, you fucking hell, burn yourself to death again." ”

The young man ignored Mu Haisen's words at all, and still buried his head in his chopsticks and kept plucking noodles into his mouth. He ate a large bowl of steaming noodles in a few minutes, and even the rest of the noodle soup was drunk.

"Another bowl?" Wu Hou asked as he looked at the young man who wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

The young man shook his head.

Wu Hou poured a glass of wine and handed it over, "Have a drink, so as not to be thirsty." ”

The young man looked at Wu Hou gratefully, nodded, took the wine glass, and drank all the wine in the cup in one sip.

Wu Hou had almost eaten, and he didn't continue to eat, he saw that the young man had drunk all the wine, so he poured him another glass, and asked, "Where is my hometown?"

The second glass of wine, which was rejected by the young man. He replied to Wu Hou: "Henan's." ”

"Are you looking for a job here?"

"Well, there is no one at home, so you have to make money to support yourself. ”

"You haven't eaten in a few days?" Wu Hou asked again, looking at the bowl that the young man had drunk even the soup.

The young man thought for a moment and said, "It's been three days after tonight, but if you treat me to a bowl of noodles, that's two days." ”

Wu Hou smiled and put the second glass of wine in his hand, which was rejected by the young man, in front of him. "Don't you have any friends here?"

The young man nodded, and then asked Wu Hou, "You are a college student, right?"

"Hmm. Wu Hou snorted.

After eating enough and gaining strength, the young man talked more.

He said enviously: "It's good to go to school." ”

"Haven't you read?" Wu Hou asked him.

"When I was a child, I studied in the village for two years, and then my parents died, and my grandfather took me by himself, but because I had no money, I didn't go back to school. ”

Wu Hou glanced at him sympathetically, thinking that the young man said that there was no one at home just now, so he said, "What about your grandfather now?"

"He also passed away. ”

"You're pathetic. Wu Hou didn't know how to say it, so he said this.

The young man smiled dismally, and then suddenly said, "It's all fate." ”

The simple four words, Wu Hou didn't know what they meant, but Mu Haisen and Duanmu Shenjiu glanced at the young man together. In his early twenties, who can sincerely say this sentence full of seeing through the heat and coldness of the world.

"You're carrying a bow, aren't you?" Wu Hou asked, looking at the young man's back.

The young man nodded and replied, "My grandfather passed me the bow." ”

"Relics?"

The young man shook his head again, "No. ”

Wu Hou asked again for no reason: "Are you a person who practices martial arts?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, looked at Wu Hou in surprise, and his eyes became vigilant.

Duanmu Shenjiu smiled at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't make a sound. Mu Haisen listened to Wu Hou's words, and then looked at the young man's abnormal appearance, and immediately stared, a little surprised.

Wu Hou smiled, "Don't be nervous. As he spoke, he stretched out a hand and held the young man's hand, and a true qi seeped out from the palm of his hand and spread to the young man's palm.

The young man's eyes changed from wariness to surprise, and he smiled, "You too." ”

Wu Hou nodded.

"Haha, what a coincidence. "The young man looked happy.

"How many years have you been practicing?" asked Wu Hou.

"I never went to school, so I practiced with my grandfather. ”

Duanmu Shenjiu asked at this time, "Only practice bows?"

"Hmm. The young man glanced at Duanmu Shenjiu.

Mu Haisen looked at the bow on the young man's back, then looked at the fertilizer bag on the ground, leaned over and asked, "I see you, you only have a bow, no arrows, right?"

The young man grinned and said, "It can be taken anywhere, and it can be made of gas." ”

"Yo, that's pretty powerful. Mu Haisen glared and said, "Come and open my eyes and open this bow to see." ”

The young man hesitated for a moment, but seeing that Wu Hou and Duanmu Shenjiu were both looking at him, he took the bow off his back and unwrapped the cloth again.

A bow with a dark red body appeared in front of the three of them. The bow body is very large, and there is a surplus of one meter, and the bowstring can not see the material, but at this moment of nightfall, there is a faint light, and the two ends of the bow are carved with two delicate crested heads, one at one end.

When Duanmu Shenjiu saw this bow, he couldn't help but praise and said, "Good bow." ”

Hearing the compliment, the young man smiled. Mu Haisen then said: "It's really beautiful, it's like a work of art, come and shoot an arrow." ”

"Shoot an arrow?" the young man grimaced.

Mu Haisen saw that he was embarrassed, so he said, "What? Didn't you say that arrows are available everywhere?"

The young man seemed to struggle for a while, but seeing that Wu Hou was also looking at him with a look of hope, he agreed.

Then he reached out to the table, picked up one of the chopsticks he had just eaten noodles, and casually placed it on the bowstring. He aimed at a paulownia tree behind the barbecue stand, but he didn't see much force, the bowstring was just pulled out of a small arc, and then he let go of his hand, and the chopsticks left the string, so fast that it was smacking.

Then, several people saw that the chopsticks that shot out got into the body of the paulownia tree until it was completely submerged.

Seeing this scene, Mu Haisen didn't dislike him anymore, and said appreciatively: "Good girl, you didn't pull the strings much, just so vigorous?"

The young man frowned, looking a little sad, but still said, "My arrows are very powerful, and my grandfather said that they are stronger than his arrows." If I had made it any bigger, the tree would have broken at the waist. But now the tree will not live, and it will wither in a few days. ”

"So powerful?" Mu Haisen looked at the bow in the young man's hand enviously.

"Well, my arrow, as long as it hits the target, it can destroy the breath of life, and if the vitality is not strong enough, it will die. The young man replied earnestly.

"Good fellow, awesome. Mu Haisen then asked, "Does this bow have a name?"

The young man replied honestly, "Yes, it's called Feifeng." ”

Wu Hou looked at the two ends of the bow, the two lifelike crested heads, and said with a smile: "It's worthy of the name." ”

The young man smiled, "It's not because there is a crested head that it's called a flying phoenix, it means that if you shoot a powerful arrow, the arrow can turn into a fire phoenix and fly, so it's called a flying phoenix." ”

"Hey, I see. Wu Hou smiled and said: "I also have good weapons and swords, but I still don't use them well." ”

The young man shook his head and said, "I'm not a weapon, it's a natal weapon." ”
