Chapter 4: Existential Crisis
"I always felt that that jade pendant was extremely important to me. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "Xiao Tianming had a strong feeling in his heart.
It was just dawning outside, and after Xiao Tianming opened his eyes, the first thing he remembered was the strange man in the outhouse.
He rolled over and got out of bed, and suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, and a "cooing" sound came from his stomach, but he hadn't eaten dinner yesterday, and now he was dizzy from hunger.
"Damn, we have to find something to eat first. Xiao Tianming said secretly.
He walked out of the inner room, but found that the strange man was not in the outhouse, "Is it in the yard?" Xiao Tianming hurriedly walked out of the house, but found that there was no strange person in the yard.
"Are you leaving?"
Xiao Tianming felt a sense of loss in his heart: he originally wanted to help him make a wooden bed!
But soon he cleared his frustration, and now the most important thing was the whereabouts of breakfast, he hadn't eaten breakfast yet!
Xiao Tianming didn't like to eat breakfast when he was a child, and he liked to sleep lazy, but unfortunately after being beaten to death by Uncle Lei once, he finally understood a truth.
"Eating breakfast is good for your health!"
This is a bloody lesson, because if you don't eat breakfast, Uncle Lei will beat Xiao Tianming with a fist the size of a sand bowl.
He walked along the village path, most of the houses were closed, only one was open, and he wanted to go up and buy two steamed buns to eat, but he remembered that he didn't have any money with him, so he forgot it.
And those who sell breakfast know Xiao Tianming, know that he was kicked out of the house yesterday, and wanted to give him two buns, but after being refused, they were no longer reluctant.
"Tut, the child of Lei Laohu's family has the same temper as Lei Laohu, and they are so strong that they are going to die!" Aunt Zhang, who sold steamed buns, scolded with a smile and continued to tinker with her steamer.
After walking a little further, another breakfast shop appeared, but Xiao Tianming couldn't care about the fragrant beef noodles anymore, because he saw a person.
A tall, ragged and unkempt weirdo!
That green-eyed weirdo!
The strange man was sitting on a rock not far from the beef noodle shop, staring at the customer who was sitting at the noodle stall eating noodles.
However, the owner of the noodle stall Kang has been staring at him cautiously, afraid that he will suddenly rush over and disturb his noodle stall business.
"It's dawn! You haven't eaten breakfast today, have you? Come on, Uncle Kang will give you a bowl of noodles to eat. Uncle Kang, whose beard was already snow-white, put a bowl of noodles on a small table in the noodle stall outside, and beckoned Xiao Tianming to come and eat.
At this time, it immediately caused other diners to be extremely dissatisfied.
"I said Lao Kang, aren't you working in vain, don't you know what virtues the child taught by Lei Laohu? Even if he starves to death, he won't eat your bowl of noodles. ”
"You didn't want to add two more slices of beef just now, and now you add a lot of beef to his bowl!
Boss Kang suddenly sneered: "That bowl of noodles is not for sale, I am happy to add more and less, if you have the ability, don't come to my store to eat beef noodles, every time you shout for me to add meat, you are not annoying, I am annoying." ”
The attitude of a noodle shop owner who runs a small business is so arrogant that it stands to reason that it will cause other diners to besiege him at this time, but the surrounding diners look like they don't care about themselves, and they are eating noodles in a leisurely manner.
Obviously, Boss Kang does have something to rely on, Xiao Tianming knows that that is his face!
The noodles he made were said to have been tasted by the city lord of Yunshan City, and the city lord of Yunshan City finally invited him to go to Yunshan City to open a luxurious restaurant for him, but Boss Kang refused without thinking about it.
Yunshan City is a big city, with a population of one million and a developed mining industry, which is famous in the entire Tianhua Dynasty, which can make the city lord come to this remote mountain village, which shows how delicious the noodles of this boss Kang are.
"You always talk and laugh, blame me, blame me. The diner, who complained at first, immediately scolded himself, and then honestly bowed his head and ate his noodles.
Xiao Tianming really didn't go to eat noodles, but someone moved.
The strange man walked over and sat on the wooden bench next to the small table, originally thinking that he would go to eat the bowl of noodles for Xiao Tianming, but he didn't eat it, just stared straight at Boss Kang.
Boss Kang was suddenly upset, and said loudly: "Look at what!"
"Give it to him, give it to me. The weirdo burst out four words.
Other people may not understand what the strange man said, but Boss Kang, who has lived for such a long time, suddenly understood what the strange man wanted to express.
"You give him a bowl of noodles, and you give me a bowl of noodles. ”
Xiao Tianming immediately knew that although this strange man could understand what others said, he obviously couldn't understand the deeper meaning.
"Give him ......" Boss Kang pointed at Xiao Tianming, and then said in a strange tone, "...... Not for you!"
"If you want to eat, give money!" Boss Kang seemed to be addicted to learning.
The strange man suddenly left his seat and honestly continued to sit on the stone not far away, Xiao Tianming saw this scene and immediately sighed.
He walked to the strange man, and when he saw the strange man looking at him, Xiao Tianming said, "Follow me and take you to eat." ”
The strange man really stood up and followed behind Xiao Tianming.
An eight-year-old boy and a strange man twice as tall as a little boy, the strange duo went out of the village together.
From beginning to end, neither of them looked at the beef noodles on the small table.
Coming to the periphery of the Lingyun Mountain Range again, Xiao Tianming was not as nervous as he was at dusk yesterday, now that the sun has come out, the sun is shining all over the mountains and forests, not only driving away the fog in the forest, but also allowing some snakes, insects, rats and ants to hide in the shade as the gradually rising temperature.
In the mountains and forests, sometimes these small animals and insects are more terrifying, because tigers and leopards are always huge and eye-catching, and these snakes and insects may come out of a corner and bite you, and you don't know how to die.
For Xiao Tianming, there is little chance that mountain and forest beasts like tigers and leopards will come to the populated Lingyun Village, but are there poisonous snakes, hehe, even in the village, not to mention the periphery of the Lingyun Mountain Range?
The fruit from the last few fruit trees you passed has disappeared, which is normal, and the trail is often frequented by people, and these fruits are also rare to the name of the village, and it is only natural that they will be picked.
Xiao Tianming was helpless and continued to move along the mountain road, he didn't dare to jump into the dense forests on the left and right, especially with a strange person by his side.
"Huh!" Xiao Tianming suddenly smelled a sour fragrance.
