Chapter 1 July is not far away
. There are cherry blossoms in June in Star City.
Xuan Yi looked at the cherry blossoms outside the window. The early morning light softly hit the pink petals, and the cool breeze blew through the corridor bringing bursts of floral fragrance.
The fragrance of cherry blossoms is very light. Even if you stand under a tree full of flowers and inhale deeply, you can only smell a faint floral fragrance, but Xuan Yi feels that the fragrance is just right.
He looked back at the person who was still lying on the bed, and said softly: "Then I'll leave first." The
other person didn't answer. She had worked the night shift all night, and now nothing except earthquakes and tsunamis could pull her out of bed. The existence that was dragged down was just that this was Star City, so there were naturally no earthquakes or tsunamis.
Xuan Yi looked at the mirror. In the wooden frame was a tall and thin young man dressed in simple clothes. He had black hair and dark eyes. His eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, showing no emotion.
He nodded, reached behind the mirror and took out a few rolls of banknotes, put them into his pocket, and then put his satchel on his back.
"Remember to bring back a few bottles of wine." The woman raised a hand high on the bed and said loudly.
Xuan Yi couldn't help but smile: "If there are any left."
...
...
Star City is to the east of Zhonghai. The sea breeze blows and shakes off countless cherry blossom petals, covering the road with soft and luxurious carpets. It feels as soft as butter when your feet step on it.
Xuan Yi walked out of the dilapidated hut with a shaky door number. He raised his eyes and glanced at the sky, feeling that the time was just right.
Although Star City is one of the few prosperous cities in the world, the more flowers bloom, the harder it is to live there. This is the suburb of Star City, which not only has the best sea view in Star Shou County, but also has the cheapest houses and fish.
Fish is good.
Only two miles away from the hut, Xuan Yi came to the market. It was originally just a small fish market, but as more and more residents nearby, it could not help but reluctantly serve as a daily grocery store. Most things can be found here.
But after all, I came from a fish market, so when I saw it from a distance, I could smell the fishy smell. The sewage was mixed with the blood of sea fish, and the discarded fish was entangled with human feces, causing flies to buzz and hover.
Xuan Yi smelled this smell that was completely different from the fragrance of cherry blossoms, and for some reason he felt slightly at ease.
"Brother Xuan is here?" Someone saw Xuan Yi approaching and couldn't help but open his hand to greet him: "I left two of the best fresh fish for you, can you come and have a look?"
Xuan Yi smiled and waved his hand: "No, no, Guo Uncle, please keep it for the bar. I have to go out for a trip, and fresh fish will only stink. Please leave a few salted fish and twenty kilograms of rice for me, and then give it to Uncle Da and let him deliver it to my house."
Saying this, Xuan Yi took out the banknotes he had prepared in his pocket, pressed them on the chopping board, turned around and left.
"Brother Xuan." Uncle Guo raised his hand to call Xuan Yi, but Xuan Yi turned back with a smile: "Don't worry, you can buy the extra two cents of wine, which can be considered as taking care of my sister during this period of time." Uncle Guo
stood He looked at the black-haired boy who didn't look back at the spot, grinned, and then slightly counted the amounts of the banknotes with his sticky hands, then threw them into the cash box and grabbed a piece of white powder. , lightly apply a few smears under the chopping board, and pat your hands to remove the powder stained on it.
Xuan Yi was still doing his shopping. When he walked from one end of the market to the other, in addition to the salted fish and rice from Uncle Guo, he also bought twenty kilograms of wheat noodles and ten kilograms of whole wheat bread. , two fish sausages, fifteen pounds of potatoes, ten pounds of onions, five pounds of dried mutton, a bunch of cabbage, a pound of garlic, a pound of ginger, plus half a pound of salt and three ounces of black pepper.
After all this, the banknotes on Xuan Yi's body also flowed out like water. After handing the last three taels of black pepper to Uncle Da in person, Xuan Yi touched his pocket, smiled and said to the silver-haired old man in front of him: "Uncle Da, yes. Is the wine good?"
Uncle Da was an old man with white beard and hair, but he was very energetic. He raised his head and glanced at Xuan Yi: "There is wine, and there is also good wine, but it all costs money."
Xuan Yi followed with a grimace . He took out a blue banknote from his pocket: "Where is this?"
Uncle Da smiled: "There is wine, two bottles."
Xuan covered his face, then reached into his shoulder bag and rubbed it, and finally stretched out his hand to press it Uncle Da's hand: "Where is this?"
Uncle Da's expression changed slightly, and then said: "There is good wine, one bottle."
Xuan Yi couldn't help but smile: "So you still have such good wine."
Uncle Da Nodding: "Because few people can afford it."
Xuan Yi smiled, put the blue banknotes in his hand on the table and patted them: "Two bottles of wine, give them to my sister in two batches."
Then he pointed. Pointing to Uncle Da's right hand: "Here, good wine. Give it to me when I come back. Make a reservation first."
Uncle Da looked at the young man with a deep look: "What if you can't come back?"
Xuan Yi touched his nose. He smiled and said: "Well, don't waste it on my sister. You can build a monument for me with this money and pour half a bottle of wine on me. I have a good nose. I can smell even a drop of it if you pour it on me." Uncle
Da He nodded, and then asked: "What is written on the monument?"
Xuan Yi laughed: "You can just write Tomb of Idiots."
With that said, the young man turned and walked towards the direction of Star City. Uncle Da grabbed the tablet on the table. He put the banknotes in his arms, looked at the boy's back, and then opened his palms.
A bright yellow coin rested in the old man's palm. The old man held it between two fingers and placed it in the sun, just covering the young man's back. He looked at the beautiful girl wearing a crown on the gold coin and couldn't help but reveal his brilliant expression. smile.
"May Yongyao Supreme bless you, my child."
... When Xuan Yi left the market, there were only three coins left on his body, but they were not only not gold, nor silver, nor even copper
.
no.
The young man took out a coin, clasped it on his thumbnail, and bounced it high as he walked, until it was more than ten meters in the air. Then he let it fall freely in the air, and grabbed it when it was spinning rapidly in front of his eyes. Stay, as nimble as a well-trained ape. The young man gently opened his palm to reveal the face of the Qingjun man, then smiled slightly and threw the coin.
Repeatedly, by the time Xuan Yi reached the stop sign, he had tossed the coin forty-two times.
And the number of times he got heads was also forty-two.
Xuanyi paid two coins and boarded the shuttle bus to Star City. However, there were no seats left early. The young man expressionlessly grabbed the hanging ring hanging from the height and followed the swaying car body with everyone in the car. Together, we looked at the scenery outside the window and headed towards the huge city that looked like a giant beast.
City of Stars.
There are no horses in front of the shuttle, not even any beasts of burden pulling the cart. It only has four wheels, but those wheels can rotate on their own. Almost everyone on the shuttle is accustomed to this kind of steel giant that can move out of thin air, except for Xuan. I don’t think so. On the contrary, although he has ridden on this instrument countless times, he has never been shocked by its exquisite creation.
The shuttle bus drove past rivers, villages and wheat fields. Along the way, there were countless curious faces looking at the bus. Xuan Yi looked at the boundless sea in front of him, with an indifferent expression on his face.
Finally, the shuttle drove into the unreachable city wall, entered the mouth of the giant beast, and then stopped.
Xuan got off the bus together with the other passengers, holding the only remaining coin in his hand, and looked up at the sky. Unfortunately, the sky that was originally washed like jade outside the city was now fragmented bit by bit by tall buildings, and from time to time there were large black The bird slid over the top of the building, but never landed again.
Xuan Yi walked skillfully through the streets and finally entered a dilapidated bathhouse. After handing over the coin, he obtained a key with a small wooden sign. The young man walked into the bathhouse and took off all his clothes. Then he stood up after soaking in hot water for a long time. Although his whole body was clean enough, the boy still scrubbed very seriously, as if every particle of dirt removed could be exchanged for an equal weight of gold.
When Xuan Yi finally confirmed that he was really clean and smellless, he walked out of the bathhouse and opened another small door with the key in his hand.
Inside was a black uniform neatly stacked there, a silver wig, a pair of silver contact lenses, and a pair of fine leather shoes. Next to the leather shoes were two black cards.
When Xuan Yi walked out of the bathhouse, he had become a completely different person. He was no longer the shy and rustic country boy before. His hair color and eyes were covered up. His face was cold and his eyes were as bright as fire. There were even very few pedestrians on the road. There was someone who dared to look him in the eye.
Because now he is the executive commissioner of the ANBU of Hoshishou County.
...
...
"No one recognizes me on the road." The old man in white clothes and silver hair asked as he rubbed his hands.
"Your skills are good." Xuan said concisely.
The uncle's appearance at this time is similar to that of Xuan Yi after his disguise. Both have white and silver hair and eyes, but this is not caused by old age, nor is it a disguise.
But it is born this way.
"Hey, you are the only low-blooded member of our department, so you are wronged." The uncle sighed and said, "When will those high-ranking guys be willing to lower their heads and look at us." Xuan Yi did not speak
.
The uncle is a good person, but he doesn't want to cause trouble to him. Moreover, the uncle is wrong about one thing.
In fact, he is not the only untouchable commissioner of the Anbu Enforcement Department.
It’s just that everyone else died.
The uncle finally reacted and looked at Xuan Yi: "Equipment?"
Xuan Yi handed over the black card and said: "A pair of flame pistols, equipped with forty-five tungsten bullets, five lava burst bullets, frost slow Five warheads."
"One standard level 4 alloy single sword, and one level 5 alloy dagger." "
Also, five flame heart grenades and two frost grenades."
Xuan Yi did not hesitate at all. Obviously he had these equipments. I have thought about it again and again.
The uncle nodded to record, then raised his head and asked: "Aren't you bringing the latest molten core warhead? And the thunder pulse grenade?"
Xuan Yi shook his head: "I don't want to test new products, and."
The boy pointed at the black card in the uncle's hand : "They are too expensive, and I have no money."
The uncle nodded, and then lowered his voice unwillingly: "If it doesn't work, I can lend you some first?"
Xuan Yi smiled, this was the first time he had changed his clothes. He showed a smile for the first time: "I understand, but if I don't come back, your tigress won't tear you apart." The uncle
wanted to say something else, but he heard a tiger roar in his ear, and couldn't help but He shuddered, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Xuan Yi looking at him with a half-smile, and then shrugged: "Ka will stay with you as a souvenir for now, and you will send the equipment to the old place." He said this
. With that, Xuan Yi walked deeper into the building and came to another counter. The style here was different from the previous one. From the ceiling to the counter and even the merchandise on display, it was all white.
In front of the counter was an attractive woman in her twenties, wearing a white nurse's uniform. Seeing Xuan Yi coming over, a rare smile appeared on her cold face.
Xuan Yi didn't smile.
He handed over a second black card.
"Five days of standard rations and drinking water, hemostatic medicine, bandages and three inula anesthetics." The
woman nodded, then touched the black card with her hand, with a reluctant expression on her face: "There is still something inside There are a lot."
Xuan nodded: "Exchange the rest for me into spiritual liquid."
The woman suddenly looked at him, not sure.
Xuan Yi confirmed again: "Exchange them all into spiritual liquid."
The woman nodded.
...
...
When Xuan Yi walked into the closed compartment, Jiu San seemed to have been waiting there for a long time.
It was a girl with a cold face but a very beautiful girl. Unlike Xuan Yi, she had extremely pure silver hair and silver eyes.
Seeing each other, Xuan Yi raised his eyebrows in a rare way: "I thought you were dead."
Jiu San's expression was colder than Xuan Yi's: "I'm also surprised."
The two only said this sentence in a cursory manner, and then Silence fell again, leaving only the muted sound of the carriage moving slowly.
After a while, Jiu San reached out and picked up a silver box the size of a shoe box beside him, and handed it to Xuan Yi calmly: "It's for you." When
Xuan Yi saw the silver box, his expression was a little exciting: "No, right."
Jiu San San nodded: "Yes."
Xuan Yi swallowed: "How many rounds?"
Jiu San shook his head: "I didn't open it."
Xuan Yi sighed: "Do we have a master?"
Jiu San Nodding: "Probably."
Xuan Yi smiled bitterly: "That's really unhappy."
Jiu San nodded at the box next to him: "I thought you would be happy."
Xuan Yi did not speak, but Jiu San was The carriage stood up.
She started to strip.
Xuan Yi looked at the other party's movements, shook his head, stood up and slowly took off his uniform.
The young man and woman undressed face to face, but never looked at each other.
They just took off their straight black uniforms and put on the tight-fitting combat uniforms hanging on the wall of the carriage. When they sat there again, it was as if nothing had happened.
Xuan Yi leaned back in his chair and reached out to pick up the newspaper next to him.
On the front page of the newspaper, the blue-haired girl on the newspaper was smiling brightly at him.
"The Ninth Princess has confirmed that she will visit the City of Stars next month to attend the celebration ceremony for the thousandth anniversary of the birth of Empress Chang'an."
Xuan Yi looked at the girl opposite: "Next month is July, right."
Jiu San nodded silently. Click your chin.
Xuan Yi raised the newspaper to the sky and finally showed a faint smile.
July is not far away.
It is not easy to write a book, and it is even more difficult to write a new book. Please collect and recommend it, practice it and cherish it.
