Chapter 334: Horseshoe Street
Chapter 334: Horseshoe Street
A few days later, Shen Shi and Xu Xueying traveled south along the avenue, and finally saw the walls of Xilu City, and of course, with it, the majestic Tianyin Mountain Range on the edge of Xilu City, and the sky that seemed to be so gloomy forever.
After these days of rest and recuperation, coupled with the effect of the elixir, Xu Xueying's injury has really improved, although it is not completely healed, and the bandages on his abdomen have not been completely removed, but now he is very comfortable walking on the road. However, although Xu Xueying felt good, Shen Shi still did not take it lightly, of course, there was also this Xilu City, which was originally the sphere of influence of Xuan/Yin/Gate, if it was only Shen Shi himself, maybe he wouldn't care, but with a Xu Xueying who had just been seriously injured, he really didn't want to stay in this dangerous place for a long time.
So although Xu Xueying was very curious, but at Shen Shi's insistence, the two of them still didn't stay in this city where Shen Shi grew up for a long time, and after Shen Shi went to the city to buy some daily necessities, food, and water, they took Xu Xueying to prepare to leave here. In the middle of this, he didn't even allow Xu Xueying to show up, only letting her sit in the carriage, including the fox.
Xu Xueying was naturally a little depressed, but she also understood in her heart that Shen Shi was doing all this for her own good, and then thinking about it, the most important thing now was to go to Woniu City as soon as possible to take the teleportation array, and return to the family of Haizhou Liuyun City as soon as possible, so she didn't say anything. However, when Shen Shi drove the carriage and prepared to pass through the city, Xu Xueying begged him in the carriage for a while, but Shen Shi finally couldn't resist her, so he agreed to take the carriage back on the horseshoe street where he grew up, so that the curious girl could see with her own eyes the first floor of the sky where he grew up.
Xilu City is still prosperous, and the streets are full of pedestrians, especially on the most lively horseshoe street in the city. When this scene was reflected in the eyes of Shen Shi, who walked on this street, it made him feel a little embarrassed and emotional, everything seemed to be exactly the same as his childhood memory.
It seems that nothing has changed.
The long street is still the same long street, and the shops on the side of the street are still those shops, and maybe only people have changed.
Xu Xueying sat in the carriage, secretly lifted the curtain and looked out, looking curiously at this lively and noisy long street, after a while, suddenly she heard Shen Shi, who was sitting in front of the carriage across the curtain, say lightly, "That's the first floor of the sky." ”
Xu Xueying was taken aback, and hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, after a while, he saw a building on the side of the street in front of him, the building was tall and majestic, and the appearance was richly decorated. And at the gate, on the huge plaque, there are three big characters "Tianyi Floor".
Xu Xueying's beautiful eyes blinked, looked at it carefully for a while, then lowered her voice and said, "Brother Shen, is this your former home?"
"Well, I grew up in this building from birth until I was twelve. ”
"That's it......" Xu Xueying sighed softly, and suddenly sighed inexplicably in her heart, this Yinzhou is thousands of miles away from Xilu City, and she has never heard of this Xilu City before, and even she feels that if it weren't for this incident, she might never come here in her life, let alone see the place where Brother Shen lived since childhood.
But why did two people who are thousands of miles apart and seem to have no intersection between two worlds at all? And they came to this city inexplicably, so is this a kind of fate?
Thinking so in her heart, suddenly a faint flush flashed on her snow-white cheeks, and her head rested on the wall on the side of the carriage, looking at the first floor of the sky, stunned. And the fox, who was squatting in the other corner of the carriage, also turned his head to look at the girl at this time, and suddenly screamed, looking confused that he didn't quite understand.
Xu Xueying was startled by the fox's cry, and suddenly came back to her senses, glanced back at the fox, her cheeks turned even redder, but she immediately sat up straight, as if nothing had happened. At this time, she suddenly heard Shen Shi in front of her as if she had discovered something, and suddenly opened her mouth "Huh", as if she was a little surprised.
Xu Xueying's heart suddenly became a little weak, her heartbeat accelerated, and she said softly, "Brother Shen, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Shi looked ahead, but didn't look at her, and only said after a while: "The business in that building, it seems that it will be better than the immortals opposite." ”
Xu Xueying was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then breathed a sigh of relief, but soon became curious, lifted the curtain and looked out again, and sure enough, she saw that there was a branch of the Immortal Society opposite the first floor of the sky. However, after looking at it for a while, she found that the flow of people coming and going in front of these two shops was about the same, and she couldn't help but be surprised:
"Brother Shen, I don't see anything, isn't it that everyone is almost the same?"
Shen Shi smiled and said lightly: "No, you have to look at the expressions of those people." ”
"Looks?"
Shen Shi said: "There are some things that ordinary people can't notice, do you look at the guests who came out of the first floor of Tianyi, is there any difference between them and the people in front of the Immortal Society?"
Xu Xueying looked left and right for a long time, frowned, and said, "I feel the same?"
Shen Shi shook his head and said, "No, it's different. Most of the customers who came in and out on the first floor of the day were expressionless and steady, and occasionally you could see a few frowning guests, which was roughly the case, and half of the customers on the side of the Immortal Club did not change their expressions, but if you looked closely, you would find that one or two of the ten people would have a smile on their faces when they walked out of the store. ”
Xu Xueying was stunned for a moment and said, "You see it so closely...... But what does that mean?"
Shen Shi suddenly sighed, his expression seemed a little gloomy, and he said softly: "This shows that most of the guests here can do business with the Immortal Society, and in the past ten years, Tianyi Floor has been completely suppressed by the Immortal Society." ”
Xu Xueying was silent, at this time, she also remembered that Shen Shi had told her that their father and son had worked the first floor of the day, and she could somehow understand Shen Shi's mood at the moment, for some reason, she looked up at the man's hardness at the moment, and suddenly felt some pity in her heart.
Obviously, he is much stronger than herself, and his temperament is also tenacious, and he has never shown any weakness, but she suddenly felt inexplicably that this man must also have pain in his heart.
When I was so young, I left my hometown, traveled thousands of miles, and parted with my parents and relatives...... She gritted her teeth slightly, turned her head away, and rubbed the corners of her eyes with her hands.
Shen Shi didn't notice the strangeness of the girl behind the curtain behind him, his mind was still immersed in these familiar streets and buildings at the moment, walking on this horseshoe street, making him feel like he had suddenly returned to his childhood in a trance.
But at this time, suddenly from outside the first floor that day, there was a commotion, which was mixed with a bit of scolding and noise, and the sound was not small. Shen Shi was taken aback, turned his head to look outside the first floor that day, and saw a group of people standing at the gate of the first floor that day, surrounded by each other, as if they were arguing fiercely about something.
