Chapter 16: Silly Melon
Fifteen years have passed since the city in the sky was lifted off in the blink of an eye.
The place where Xuyao Village was originally located, a huge deep pit left behind, always reminding the people of Mocheng of this strange past, has become a topic of conversation after dinner.
During this period, in the past fifteen years, there have been some strange people or young people who have gone to explore whether there are still important clues and valuable things left by the heavenly craftsmen in this huge deep pit.
But they all left with nothing, and then the number of people who came to explore became smaller and smaller, until the place became a place where no one cared.
In a busy street southwest of Meaux, a small restaurant with a "Niche Restaurant" sign has been located here for more than 20 years.
With the good dishes and clean hygiene that the owner and chef copied, he also survived in this fiercely competitive Mo City.
Outside the restaurant, a storyteller is facing a group of passers-by who have gathered here, telling the story of the castle in the sky.
I saw this old storyteller, spitting in his mouth, telling who built the Sky City back then, why it flew into the sky and disappeared, and where it went.
Speaking eloquently, without the slightest pause, people who don't know still think that there is such a thing, and believe it.
The man and woman sitting in this niche restaurant only thought it was funny.
At this time, a pretty girl wearing a burgundy dress walked over and asked the two men and women.
"Two guest officers, I wonder what you want to eat?"
The girl is the daughter of the restaurant's owner, Wu Dechang, named Wu Qian.
Because the restaurant is small, it is a small business, if you want to survive in the prosperous Mo City, it is natural to save money, and Wu Qian helped in the restaurant when she was young.
At this time, the two men and women turned their faces to look at Wu Qian, and Wu Qian only felt that these two men and women really looked like dragons and phoenixes among people.
Both of them are gorgeously dressed, the man's eyebrows are picturesque, and his facial features are upright.
The woman's long hair is tied in a bun, combed with falling cloud makeup, her long hair on the temples is falling, her cheeks are blushing and her skin is white, quiet and elegant.
Standing in front of Wu Qian at this moment actually made her feel ashamed of herself.
It's just that the woman's expression is cold, and there seems to be a trace of sadness on her face all the time.
No matter how much the man laughed, he couldn't get the woman to smile.
However, the man was also accustomed to this and didn't care, as if the woman was usually so cold.
"Qingyun, what do you want to eat?"
The man asked softly to the woman in front of him.
"Not only are the restaurants here very interesting, but the food is also very good. ”
When he heard the man call the cold-looking woman as Qingyun, a twenty-one-twelve-year-old young man in the kitchen who looked very ordinary shook his body.
But then he continued to wash the greens, but from time to time he glanced at this side out of the corner of his eye.
"Brother Mo, just order it. ”
The woman who was called Qingyun said to the man, and then turned her face to look at the old man who was telling the story outside the window, as if she was very interested in the original Sky City.
This man's name is Mo Qingyang, the son of Mo Shu, the lord of Mo City, and he also has a younger sister who has just turned eighteen.
He grew up with a noble status and a golden key since he was a child, but he didn't become an arrogant playboy because of this.
It is humble and polite, and it is extremely rare to be arrogant without the slightest arrogance.
But even though he has lived without worrying about food and clothing since he was a child, and he has been offered with both hands immediately if he wants anything, he has always liked the woman in front of him, Qingyun, who defected to the city of Mocheng fifteen years ago.
Even after more than ten years, the woman is still not interested in him, and he still chooses to continue to work hard to please the beautiful woman.
"Good. ”
Mo Qingyang smiled elegantly and said to Wu Qian, who had been waiting.
"Girl, please help me serve your signature dish here, steamed sea bass, braised pig's trotters and drunken goose. ”
"Okay, you two, please wait a minute. ”
Wu Qian politely smiled at the two, walked into the kitchen quickly, rolled up the curtain, leaned out and said to the young man who was washing vegetables.
"Hey, idiot, the guests over there want to eat steamed sea bass, braised pig's trotters and drunken goose, you can quickly wash the dishes and cook them for my father." ”
I don't know if the boy was thinking about something, where he sat a little distracted, washing vegetables in a daze.
The greens were about to be washed and peeled off for him, and he didn't realize it, let alone Wu Qian's words just now.
Wu Qian saw that he shouldn't, so he raised his voice and shouted stupidly, and he came back to his senses and looked at her blankly, obviously she didn't listen to a word of what she said just now.
"Oh, you're such a dumbfounder, what are you doing during working hours?"
Wu Qian's little hand knocked on the shell of her head that had a headache, and repeated the words just now.
"I said, just now the guests over there want to eat steamed sea bass, braised pig's trotters and drunken goose, you quickly wash the dishes and cook them for my father." ”
said that he went out to the counter and knocked melon seeds.
At the same time, he was muttering, "What is this stupid melon thinking about all day?"
After Wu Qian went out, the young man realized that the vegetables he had cleaned in his hands were going to be washed into vegetable residues.
At that moment, he hurriedly scooped it up and put it away, and got up to prepare the ingredients for the dish that Wu Qian said just now.
This seemingly dull young man was Lin Yu in Xuyao Village back then, and Lin Yu, who was swept into Tan Di by the huge waves and thought he was going to die, survived unexpectedly.
Originally, the mouth of the pond designed by the craftsmen of the day, the water of the pond flowed from Xuyao Lake, and the deep pool was designed with a drainage outlet to circulate to the outside world.
In the drainage channel that extends in all directions deep under the underground of the underground palace, Lin Yu can be said to be extremely lucky, rushing around in which drainage pipe, it happens to rush to a pipe that connects to the outside world.
Therefore, before the sky city rose to the sky, it fell through the mouth of the pipe and fell into the jungle outside.
When Lin Yu wakes up in the evening after a day, where can there be the shadow of Xuyao Lake and Xuyao Village?
Lin Yu, whose memory only stayed in the underground palace, saw the huge pit scene in front of him, cried loudly, and fainted again when he was filled with grief.
Fortunately, Wu Qian's father and daughter happened to pass by when they were looking for game ingredients that day, and the kind father and daughter rescued and took in Lin Yu and asked him to help with chores in his shop.
The father and daughter live alone, and they have treated Lin Yu quite well over the years, although they are not biological, they also regard Lin Yu as a family.
Wu Qian is about the same age as Lin Yu, lively and active, seeing that Lin Yu usually looks at the sky in a daze in his spare time, he is dumbfounded, so he gave Lin Yu the title of "stupid melon".
Wu's father didn't listen to the discipline, and Lin Yu didn't care what Wu Qian called him, so he let her call after a long time.
Just now, when Lin Yu heard Mo Qingyang outside call the woman Qingyun, Lin Yu's mind came to the beautiful and lovely little girl of his age when he came to Mo Yuncheng with his father.
The little girl's name is also Qingyun, and Lin Yu fell into a daze when she thought about it.
"I guess there's someone with the same name. ”
Lin Yu laughed at himself, only saying that it had been so long since then, and when he looked back, he was afraid that he would not be able to recognize him for a long time, not to mention that he only met in Pingshui back then?
