Chapter 11 Queue
"Oops!"
Listening to the screeching sound of the heavy door of the warehouse slowly closing, Su Yu'er and the others suddenly changed their faces, this is not the abandoned house in Tianhua Town, and they can't escape it once the door is closed.
The three of them waited for a moment, until there was no sound outside, and then they struggled to crawl out of the large black box.
"No... Alright, hungry... I can't walk..."
Erhei almost sat down after crawling out of the box, shaking his head and saying silently.
"Who... No... Ahh
Lao Jiu rolled his eyes, but still reached out to help him get up from the ground.
The three of them supported each other and slowly walked towards the gate.
"No... No locks?"
Surprisingly, Lao Jiu just gently pushed the seemingly heavy door, and actually pushed it open!
"Difficult... Road... Is there a fraud?"
Su Yu'er frowned and said.
"Tube... What about him, I'm going to... Get out... Eat!"
Erhei shook his head, his eyes were black from hunger now, and he pushed open the door and walked out.
"No... No one..."
Erhei looked up and looked around, and found that there was no one.
"Quick... Let's go..."
When Lao Jiu heard this, he pulled Su Yu'er and walked out, he was also hungry.
"Wait... Wait a minute... You guys... First... Let's go, I'm a horse... Come up..."
Su Yu'er glanced at the big black box behind her, and suddenly shook her head and said.
As the capital of Xuanwu Kingdom, Tianxuan City has no city to compare with its prosperity in the whole country, and the streets of all sizes are full of traffic and people, and all kinds of vendors come and go, which makes people dazzled.
"Boss, one more bowl, no, three bowls!"
In an inconspicuous ramen stall, because it is not a meal, there are only a few diners sitting here and there, and at this moment they are looking at the three teenagers in the corner in amazement.
There were about a dozen noodle bowls on the wooden table in front of the boys, and all of them were clean, not even a drop of noodle soup remained.
The noodle stall owner looked speechlessly at the three teenagers with chopsticks in their hands and staring at his cauldron expectantly.
When the stall just opened today, he was humming a little song to pull ramen, and when he was singing to the fullest, he suddenly felt a chill behind him.
He hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see three young men with green eyes staring at the noodles he had just thrown into the pot with drooling, so frightened that he hurriedly picked up the wooden stick on the side, for fear that his small business would be robbed by these three people.
But fortunately, the three of them were quite sane, and after ordering the ramen, they sat in the corner and waited, although their eyes kept looking at the noodle bowls on the tables of the diners around them, but fortunately they didn't do anything.
"Three little brothers, this is already eighteen bowls, and you haven't eaten enough?"
The boss looked at the shabby clothes of the three people, and although he was a little worried that they would not be able to pay for the noodles, he still patiently served the noodles.
"I'm almost not that hungry, so let's get down to business first, shall we?"
Su Yu'er touched her bulging belly, worried that her stomach would explode if she ate it again.
"Finish this bowl, finish this bowl!"
Erhei opened his mouth and swallowed his bowl of noodles in two or three bites, snatched the bowl in front of Su Yu'er and hugged it and ate it.
"Xiao Yu'er, with so many bowls of noodles, do we have enough money?"
Lao Jiu looked at the noodle bowls that were almost piled up into a hill in front of him, and asked Su Yu'er with some concern.
"This meal is definitely enough, but the next meal may not be..."
Su Yu'er smiled bitterly and shook his head, the three of them were all hungry before, and they just wanted to fill their stomachs quickly, and after some gobbling up, they found that they had eaten so much.
"Boss, check out. ”
Su Yuer beckoned to the boss, for fear that Erhei would have to serve a few more bowls, then he would really go bankrupt.
"Okay, three little brothers, a bowl of noodles is three yuan, and eighteen bowls of noodles are a total of fifty-eight copper plates, seeing that you are all children, fifty yuan is counted. ”
The noodle stall owner rubbed his hands together and said with a smile.
"Fifty copper coins?"
Erhei almost didn't spit out the noodles that were sucking in his mouth when he heard this, and his pocket money for the New Year was only five cents, and it had been ten years since he ate noodles!
"Thank you boss. ”
Su Yu'er sighed, and with a reluctant face, she took out a handful of copper coins from the small wooden box and counted them on the table one by one.
"Forty-nine... Fifty, whoa, the boss gives it to you. ”
Su Yu'er handed the counted fifty copper coins to the noodle stall owner, glanced at the small wooden box that was much empty, and sighed silently.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered Tianxuan City, most of the money on their bodies was gone, and only the last thirty-three cents were left, and they didn't know if they could hold on for a few days in this prosperous city.
"Okay, walk slowly, three, remember to come often in the future!"
The owner of the noodle stall took the money and smiled at the three 'big customers' who had not gone far.
The bustling Tianxuan City, any street is several times more lively than the assembly in Tianhua Town, the gorgeous buildings on the side of the road make the three teenagers grow their mouths all the way, and all kinds of bizarre gadgets on the stalls make the three of them playful, and soon leave the lack of money behind, no longer worry about tomorrow's food and clothing, and walk around the streets with each other's shoulders.
"Wow, sugar gourd! Look, it's a sugar gourd, it's bigger than ours!"
Erhei looked at a vendor selling sugar gourds not far away, dancing and gesturing.
"Speaking of which, I haven't eaten sugar gourd for a long time, boss, let's try it on three strings!"
Erhei pulled Su Yu'er and Lao Jiu to run to the vendor, stretched out three fingers and smiled.
"It's six cents in total. ”
The vendor took down three strings of sugar gourds and said to the three of them.
"Foodie! I haven't filled your stomach after eating so much!"
Lao Jiu glared at Erhei, Erhei wanted everything he saw along the way, and they only had nine copper plates left after eating and playing.
"Forget Lao Jiu, I can't do anything with this money anyway, so let's have fun today. ”
Su Yu'er shook his head helplessly, he could be regarded as seeing it, took out six copper coins from the small wooden box and handed it to the vendor, and then took the sugar gourd handed by Erhei and took a big bite of it.
Hmmm! Delicious!
Su Yu'er is satisfied, chirp, chirp, chirp.
"Hehe, Xiao Yu'er is so good! It's not like Lao Jiu, slam the door!"
Erhei laughed and touched Su Yu'er's shoulder, and didn't forget to glance at Lao Jiu.
"I'm too lazy to tell you, foodie!"
Lao Jiu glanced at Erhei, snatched a string of sugar gourds in his hand and stuffed them into his mouth.
"You still say that I am a foodie, you don't eat more than me?"
Erhei clutched his stomach and laughed.
The three teenagers continued to wander forward with a sugar gourd, I don't know how long they walked, after they turned into an alley, the noise around them suddenly disappeared cleanly, and a long queue appeared in front of the three of them, those people lined up quietly, and the team crossed dozens of alleys of all sizes and sizes, so long that they couldn't see the beginning at all.
"What are they doing here?"
Erhei looked at the long queue curiously, and strode towards one of the people in the team, intending to ask, but was unexpectedly blocked by a black-robed old man who came out of nowhere.
"If the three of you want to take the entrance exam of my Xuanwu Hall, then let's honestly go to the back and line up!"
The old man glanced at the three cloth-clothed young men not far away, and said coldly.
"The most annoying thing in the old man's life is those villains in the fish and meat town, if the three of you want to cut the line, your qualifications to take the exam, the old man will be directly eliminated!"
"Xuanwu Hall's entrance exam? are all these people here to take the exam?"
Su Yu'er's eyes lit up, and she looked at the black-robed old man with a look of surprise.
"The old gentleman misunderstood, we didn't mean to cut the line, let alone some villains in the fish and meat town, it was purely a mistake to appear here, please don't be angry, let's go to the back and line up." ”
Lao Jiu reacted the fastest, and when he saw that the black-robed old man's face was not good, he hurriedly explained.
"You know each other. ”
The black-robed old man nodded when he heard this, and his face improved slightly.
"Where's the end of this team?"
Su Yu'er glanced at the endless team and couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
"Go back from this alley, cross three streets and turn north into an alley, where you are now at the end of the line. ”
The old man said lightly.
"Isn't it? How many people are there going to be?
The three of them looked at each other when they heard this.
"There's no way, it's like this every year, the last time the team was discharged from Tianxuan City, and this year's candidates are already the fewest candidates!"
The old man shrugged, looking not surprised.
