After Tian Zongyu and Lan Lan repelled the people in the Ghost Realm, the people who were driven out of the restaurant and the people around the restaurant began to come back one after another. The deserted streets slowly returned to their usual liveliness.
Tian Zongyu and Lan Lan were about to enter the restaurant for dinner again, but the chubby shopkeeper blocked the two people outside the door with an embarrassed look on his face, and said sheepishly: "Two guests, I'm really sorry.
They are the ones being chased by the Ghost Realm. I can’t afford to offend them. I don’t dare to let the two heroes enter the store. I ask for your forgiveness.”
After hearing this, Lan Lan's pink face was instantly covered with red clouds, and she said angrily: "Shopkeeper, what do you mean, the ghost realm, is it just in this Xinyuan City that I can only cover the sky with one hand? I'm just
I'm not afraid of them. Today, I still have to have a meal at your restaurant. Don't worry, you won't lose a cent of the food. Moreover, I will compensate you double for what you just damaged."
The fat shopkeeper is certainly not stupid. He saw more than thirty disciples of the Ghost Realm, and they were no match for the two young men in front of him. Their strength was obviously greater, but this Ghost Realm, after all, was also the Xinyuan City.
The two local snakes in front of me, although they are strong dragons, are just passers-by. If they offend them, they will be scolded or beaten severely at best. If they offend the people of the Xinyuan branch of Ghost Ghost Zai, then I can
He just couldn't finish eating and walked away. Looking at Lan Lan's stubborn look, he could only smile and said: "Girl, it's not that I won't keep you two, it's just that this person from the ghost land, our shop is really not an offender."
I hope you two will be accommodating."
Lan Lan was extremely angry and snorted coldly: "What are you saying when you open a hotel and don't allow people to eat? I just want to eat today." Lan Lan was so angry that she couldn't help but lose her temper.
What a gangster the fat shopkeeper is. From the moment the two young men walked into the restaurant, they knew that the girl in front of them was very obedient to this ordinary boy. They couldn't help but turn their eyes and looked at Tian Zongyu and begged: "Sir, please,
I really don’t dare to offend the people in the Ghost Realm. Please forgive me. Otherwise, I will give you two fifty taels of silver. How about you two find another place and order a sumptuous lunch?
?”
Tian Zongyu looked at the fat shopkeeper's troubled expression, and the warmth and anger in his heart had long since disappeared. He looked at Lan Lan who was angry and said: "Lan Lan, why don't we find another shop so that we don't put the shopkeeper in trouble, okay?"
Lan Lan glanced at Tian Zongyu a little aggrievedly, nodded with a pout, and said somewhat unwillingly: "Okay then! It's just too cheap for those hateful guys."
The fat shopkeeper couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that Lan Lan was relieved. He hurriedly took out a fifty-tael silver ingot from his arms and handed it to Tian Zongyu: "Master, thank you for your consideration. This is a small gesture from me."
, It’s not a sign of respect, but I hope you’ll accept it.”
Lan Lan was still angry when she saw the fat shopkeeper took out the silver, stretched out his right hand and slapped the silver from his hand, and said bitterly: "Who cares about your silver?" After saying that, he turned around and looked.
Tian Zongyu said: "Zongyu, let's go and ignore him." After saying that, he went ahead.
Tian Zongyu apologized to the fat shopkeeper who looked embarrassed, and hurriedly caught up with Lan Lan who was very angry.
The two of them wandered around Xinyuan City for most of the day. Every time they wanted to go to a restaurant or hotel to dine, they were politely rejected. Tian Zongyu was okay and looked indifferent, but Lan Lan was different. Her lungs were about to explode.
Extremely angry, he hurried out of the west gate of Xinyuan City and left this sad place where he couldn't even eat. Tian Zongyu had no choice but to follow Lan Lan closely, constantly comforting her.
After walking out of Xinyuan City, Lan Lan turned her head angrily and looked at Xinyuan City, her eyes filled with hatred. Tian Zongyu, who followed closely behind, was startled by her expression, and his heart was beating wildly.
Be prepared to accept Lan Lan's complaints.
"Hmph, one day, I will definitely conquer the Ghost Realm to avenge this young lady's hunger today." Lan Lan glared at Xinyuan City and said angrily.
When she saw Tian Zongyu with a frightened look on his face, looking at her a little aggrievedly, Lan Lan suddenly found it interesting, burst into laughter, and the gloomy look on his face disappeared. She looked at Tian Zongyu with a smile and said, "What are you doing?"
Already?"
Tian Zongyu giggled and said: "Haha, seeing you looking angry, I thought you were going to get mad at me!"
"Go, you didn't offend me. But in the future, when I want to conquer the ghost realm, you must help me."
Tian Zongyu nodded immediately: "Of course, when the time comes, I will be your follower."
After hearing this, Lan Lan couldn't help but blush, rolled her eyes at Tian Zongyu, and said coquettishly: "I don't want you to be my follower!" After saying that, she turned around and looked at the endless dense forest outside the city.
, said: "Zong Yu, I'm so hungry. How about we find some wild fruits to satisfy our hunger first?"
"Yes." Tian Zongyu agreed and walked side by side into the dense forest with Lan Lan.
Along the dense forest path, there are indeed many wild fruits along the way. Whenever Tian Zongyu sees these, he will first jump on the branches, pick a few wild fruits, then jump down and share them with Lanlan.
, the two tasted it together, but they also enjoyed it.
Some of these wild fruits are sour and sweet, some are astringent, and some are spicy. When the two of them eat them, they sometimes exclaim with relief, sometimes their faces turn bitter, and sometimes they vomit. Although they have various expressions, they look at each other.
With such expressions on their faces, both of them couldn't help laughing, but they were also enjoying themselves in the midst of suffering and were extremely happy.
In this way, I don’t know how long they have been walking, but inadvertently, they have reached the depths of the dense forest that covers the sky and the sun. Just when the two of them were having fun, suddenly, a woman came from the dense forest in front of them.
The two of them could not help but be shocked by the sudden and sad cry.
The two looked at each other, stopped fighting, nodded to each other, and walked quietly towards the place where the tragic cries came from.
"Ru'er, wake up, don't scare your mother! Ru'er..." As we walked forward, the cries became clearer and clearer, and from time to time the woman's sad calls could be heard amidst the choking sounds.
Soon, Tian Zongyu and Lan Lan came to the place where the sad cries were heard. Under the thick shade, they saw a woman with messy hair, wearing a patched gray cloth, sitting slumped on the ground, her face full of vicissitudes of life.
He was holding a ragged boy about three meters tall in his arms, with his eyes closed tightly, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. Both of their faces had high cheekbones and a sallow complexion, showing a picture of malnutrition and poverty.
His unique thinness makes people feel pity for him when he sees him.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Lan Lan approached the woman and asked worriedly.
The woman raised her head, her skinny face was full of tears, and she choked and said: "Girl, my son and I fled here and haven't eaten for several days. Today he finally couldn't stand it anymore and passed out." After that,
, couldn't help but burst into tears again.
"Ah, that's it! It's a pity that we didn't prepare anything to eat." At this point, Lan Lan seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly turned to look at Tian Zongyu: "Zongyu, hurry up, go pick some wild fruits.
Let them satisfy their hunger first, and then we will send them to Xinyuan City ahead, give them some silver coins, and let them go into the city to eat by themselves."
Tian Zongyu agreed without hesitation, and hurriedly went to the woods on the left and right to look for wild fruits. Lan Lan looked at the poor mother and son, walked to them, squatted down, and looked at the woman pitifully.
The child in his arms kept comforting the weeping woman.
