Chapter 414: Once dreamed of walking the world with a sword to make up for yesterday
Chapter 414: I once dreamed of traveling to the end of the world with my sword (Updated from yesterday)
In Zhao Cheng's opinion, the country's clothing is very distinctive, similar to the attire of western cowboys in the 19th century, but more refined.
The pace of life here is very slow. The large amount of wealth brought by ocean trade means that one person in a family can support the whole family by going to sea. This reduces the pressure of life, and the natural pace slows down, and at the same time there is more life.
"Wow, this fits so well. The characters in those stories probably looked like you, sir, when they were young."
The proprietress of a ready-made clothing store exclaimed in local dialect when she saw Zhao Cheng walking out of the fitting room.
"Haha, I thought so too."
Zhao Cheng also spoke the local dialect. In just ten minutes after landing, he had already learned the language through observation and listening.
At this moment, he was like a young boy who was just starting out, choosing the right clothes for the legendary career he was about to begin.
Faced with the praise from the landlady, Zhao Cheng did not show any stage fright and paid the bill readily.
One thing worth mentioning is that the boss lady was probably so handsome that she took the initiative to offer a discount.
In fact, even he himself doesn't know where he will go next. He does not have a fixed destination, he just simply does whatever he wants to do.
He once thought about conquering the ocean, so he went there. He once thought about becoming a traveler and traveling around, so he came.
Many people are obsessed with who I am, where I am going, and what I am going to do. Zhao Cheng does not think about it that much.
"Brother, are you the kind of adventurer in the story who goes on adventures?!"
At this time, the eight-year-old son of the proprietress of the clothing store looked at Zhao Cheng with bright eyes, as if he expected that he would be so handsome in the future.
In fact, the clothes Zhao Cheng wears are very common, but when worn together, it gives a sense of freedom and adventure on Zhao Cheng.
That's why the landlady would exclaim. Zhao Cheng is not the first person to match up like this, but no one has ever had Zhao Cheng's temperament.
This was born from the heart. Zhao Cheng's heart is now full of free and adventurous thoughts, and he has shown such an aura and temperament.
"That's right."
Zhao Cheng smiled.
"Do you also dream of adventure?!"
In this boy, Zhao Cheng undoubtedly saw the shadow of his own past, or in other words, the epitome of all boys with dreams.
"Yes, I have already planned it. When I grow up and finish my studies, I will work and travel at the same time. Then I can accept commissions to make money. I told you, this is super cool."
"Then at night, in the pub, I order a large glass of beer and tell stories about my adventures in a rough voice. It's so fun."
The boy immediately spoke loudly, his eyes almost shining as he spoke.
"That was a really fun adventure."
Zhao Cheng smiled.
"Here, reach out and give this to you. Consider it as a witness to your dream."
"This is a souvenir I got during an expedition. It was lying in a big shipwreck at the bottom of the sea."
Zhao Cheng put the gold coin in the boy's hand.
The boy looked at the gold coins in his hand and immediately blushed. But he was not shy, but excited. He was excited that Zhao Cheng recognized his dream, instead of saying that he was fanciful like some of his friends.
"Sir, this is too expensive."
But the lady boss knows the goods well, so she can tell that this gold coin is not fake.
"It's okay, his dream is much more valuable than this."
While he was talking, Zhao Cheng had already walked out of the shop. After that, the proprietress was able to catch up, but she found that Zhao Cheng was no longer visible.
…
On the other side, Zhao Cheng walked into a car dealership, swiped his card directly, and bought the most handsome and coolest motorcycle in the store.
The pure black motorcycle is like a black beast, full of power.
Then, after buying a car and going out, Zhao Chengcai remembered that he didn't seem to have a driver's license.
But, it doesn’t matter!
The engine roared, and then Zhao Cheng and his car turned into a bolt of black lightning.
The owner of the car dealership looked at Zhao Cheng's back with twinkling eyes. It was not because he had made a huge profit. In fact, he took the initiative to give Zhao Cheng a discount, so this amount was just a loss.
The reason for this was that he saw the shadow of his own youth in Zhao Cheng.
At that time, I dreamed that I could drive on the wilderness road alone and in a car, pass through cities, meet countless interesting people, and get to know a few girls who also like adventure, and then many things would happen.
Many stories.
But at that time, he was just an apprentice car repairman, working with engine oil every day, calculating when he would have his own shelter from the wind and rain.
Fast forward a few decades, and he became a small boss with some property and savings, but he was already old, no longer as energetic as he was when he was young, and could no longer walk.
It's just that occasionally when I dream back at midnight, I think of my earliest dreams.
However, I can no longer achieve it.
Until just now, when he saw Zhao Cheng, he bluntly said that he bought a car to complete an adventure. At that moment, he seemed to see himself when he was a teenager. His tone, demeanor, and momentum were exactly the same.
The only thing that is different is that it is the self I once imagined.
"Old man, why are you reluctant to part with your store's treasure?!"
Next to him, the old lady boss looked at her old man and said with a smile.
"No, no, no, I'm just too willing to give up!"
The boss came back to his senses and smiled.
Looking at his wife who has been with him for so many years, he feels that his life is actually not bad.
Although I don't live the way I want to live, I have a good wife and my children are up to par.
During the most difficult period, he met his wife, who stayed with him all the way. At that time, he was a car repair apprentice, and his wife was just a clerk in a bakery. Both of them were worried about the future, but at the same time they gave each other warmth.
, used this to get through the most difficult years.
As for Zhao Cheng, the roar of the locomotive beneath him was far slower than his full sprint, but feeling the vibration and roar of the locomotive and the roaring wind in his ears, Zhao Cheng felt waves of unspeakable emotions in his heart.
sense of satisfaction.
The windbreaker Xunxun was dancing wildly in the wind, and Zhao Cheng's heart was freer than ever before, as if his whole body was about to fly to the sky.
At the same time, his temperament also changed subtly in the process. Day after day, when he passed through one city after another, although his body was a little more weathered, the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
