Everyone went back to the restaurant and had another meal.
The northwest is barren, as it has been since ancient times, and there is really nothing new about food. The scholar's set of words about never getting tired of food and fine food is completely a joke here. The so-called clever woman can't make a meal without rice. If you don't have everything, naturally it won't be that good. Be very particular.
Grabbing meat with your hands, grabbing rice with your hands... The only staple food that is being tossed over and over is meat. It is no wonder that most of the people here are strong and strong, and they still have a smell of odor in their bodies. They eat like this all the time, and everyone else has to do this.
It's not bad to try something new once in a while, but if you eat these two meals in a row, I'm afraid no one in Zhongyuan can bear it.
Among the team members, Li Qiang was the best performer. He still ate with gusto and could eat so much meat and staple food at one time. Even Qi Zhen looked a little scared.
At noon, four people watched two people pushing cups and changing cups, and at night, four people watched one person wolfing down the food. At noon, the person was Qi Zhen, and at night, the person was Li Qiang. No matter which person it was, the few people who were watching were all in their hearts. All are incomprehensible.
Meng Ran looked at Li Qiang chewing, his face a little unnatural, he couldn't help it, and raised his doubts, Captain, how can you still eat?
Li Qiang put down the greasy mutton chops in his hand, wiped his mouth casually, and said slowly: "When I was in the army, the food was far worse than this. Not only was the food not good, but the key was to be fast, otherwise we would not be able to continue. There was no chance to return the bowl. At that time, the comrades were rushing to eat. No one wanted to go hungry. After all, there were training tasks after the meal, so no one cared about whether the food was good or not. Later, after arriving here, I was always hungry. It is possible to die in the game. Physical strength is everything. It is common to be hungry after a meal, so when you can eat, you have to eat with your life, because you can’t tell when you will be able to eat the next meal. I understand. Bar?"
Meng Ran nodded, indicating that he understood.
Whether you understand or not is one thing, but whether you can eat it is another. For example, Yu Liang and Jiang Yan have actually known this habit of Li Qiang for a long time, but they still feel a little scary every time they watch Li Qiang eat.
In fact, Qi Zhen could understand Li Qiang's thoughts after thinking about it for a moment.
But again, it’s one thing to understand the truth. Whether you can handle it with such a big belly depends on your actual situation.
Qi Zhen and Yu Liang ate some, but compared to Li Qiang, they were nothing compared to Li Qiang. As for Meng Ran and Jiang Yan, they probably politely picked up their chopsticks and stopped moving.
Several people watched the food show for half an hour, but they didn't feel any desire or urge to eat, so they ate the meal very quickly. When Li Qiang completely fed himself, the meal was over.
Everyone agreed to start taking action after the sun went down, and then went back to their houses to rest.
Qi Zhen specifically asked everyone not to forget to change their clothes, and cover their appearance and facial features when they should be covered. It is so conspicuous when there are many people, but if a few Central Plains people suddenly appear on the street in the dead of night, they are seen by others. It's definitely nothing good.
There is really no need to make matters worse.
Qi Zhen returned to the house and opened the window, looking at the majestic scenery of the desert with smoke and the sun setting over the long river. For a moment, it felt like she was in another world.
A few months ago, he was still at home in Beijing, thinking about how to fight the boss in the game. In the past few months, he had seen the large European-style house with the open-air lawn and swimming pool, and prepared the dazzling high-tech in the hall. , I have seen the gentleness and elegance of Suzhou and Hangzhou, the underwater world of Chaohu Lake, the dangerous peaks of Shushan Mountain, and now, I have even seen the desert style of the Western Regions.
It would be a lie to say that she has no emotions. Qi Zhen believes that her teammates will have the same feelings as herself when they see a certain scene.
Somewhat homesick.
Being a stranger in a foreign land, I miss my family even more during the festive season.
Being independent is not considered independent, but whether it is for each game or for the games world itself, people like myself are completely different and strangers, so I never have to encounter any festivals, but I have experienced these in a short period of time. Players who have gone through many life and death tests miss their relatives, homes, and homes all the time.
Going home is the ultimate driving force for everyone in the team to persist here.
Qi Zhen doesn't need to rest. The mental recovery speed brought by Sharingan is very scary. Although she has never tried it, Qi Zhen feels that she doesn't need to sleep for a long time. I'm afraid it won't be long.
He just looked out the window quietly, watching the dazzling sun slowly descending until it disappeared on the horizon. During this process, Qi Zhen didn't even change her posture. It seemed that there was some treasure on the sun. Keep him so focused.
The northwest is different from the Central Plains. It gets dark very late. Qi Zhen remembered that she had learned before that there was a difference of about three time zones. Therefore, when the sun finally reluctantly set below the horizon, it dyed the western sky with a touch of orange. By that time, I believe it was completely dark in the Central Plains.
Qi Zhen's thoughts gradually came back from memories, and it was almost time.
He changed his clothes and called his teammates in the two rooms on the left and right to gather at his place.
Unlike Qi Zhen, several people had all slept for a while, so they were still a little drowsy.
After Xingxing woke up, Qi Zhen talked about the plans and arrangements for a while, and then everyone got up and headed to the north of the town.
Without an outsider like Hu Jinqiu, the team naturally didn't have to hide their speed and strength, so it only took less than half the time in the afternoon for everyone to arrive in front of the ordinary-looking mud house again.
The surprising thing is that when everyone came in the afternoon, the door of the house opened naturally without waiting for Hu Jinqiu to knock. When he came here after dark, the door was not closed at all.
It seems that he is waiting for the arrival of everyone in the team.
Qi Zhen nodded towards Yu Liang. Yu Liang took the lead and stepped into the house without any more nonsense.
Qi Zhen was in the middle, and Li Qiang was at the back, entering one after another.
As Li Qiang stepped into the house with his last foot, the door made a crisp sound and was completely closed.
The sudden sound in the silence can easily startle people if they are not prepared for it, but no one in the team showed any signs of surprise, presumably because they were fully prepared for such a thing.
"What are you afraid of?" Yu Liang suddenly said this without any end.
Everyone naturally understood what he meant.
The starry sky is still the same, but the houses under my feet are not the same as when I came in the afternoon.
Originally walking in from the door, only about a dozen steps away, you would come to the light pink gauze curtain, which should be the room where the goddess was.
However, this time when they entered the house, the originally clean bricks and stones under their feet turned into gravel, and the room was far from the size before. What appeared in front of everyone turned into a vast Gobi Desert.
"Boundary?" Meng Ran asked.
Qi Zhen's Sharingan had already opened the moment he discovered the situation here. At this time, he shook his head with a slightly solemn expression and said softly: "No, it's just a simple blindfold."
There is an absolute difference between blinding and enchantment. Blinding only deceives people's eyes, while enchantment actually creates a real space. There is an essential difference between the two.
In other words, this house is still so big and has not undergone any formal changes. It is just that in the eyes of everyone, it seems to have become a Gobi Desert. If ordinary people come here, they will definitely be regarded as gods. There are no traces, but under the observation of Qi Zhen's Sharingan, the real situation here is impossible to hide.
Fortunately, no matter how strong this goddess is, her strength is limited. If this is really a barrier, then Qi Zhen will have to re-evaluate the difficulty of this task. After all, everyone in the team can't even connect to Zhoushan. I haven’t seen the shadow yet.
"Mother-in-law, please come out. We have something to ask you," Qi Zhen said.
"Jie Jie Jie, no one from the Central Plains has been here for many years. What do you little kids from Shushan want to do with me, an old woman here?"
Unexpectedly, the goddess Hu Jinqiu spoke of actually appeared in front of everyone speaking fluent Central Plains Mandarin.
It is not accurate to say that she is in front of everyone. Her figure is about three to five hundred steps away from the team. Although the other party's facial features can be clearly seen in the team's eyes, this voice seems to be in the ear, but the body is far away. It was very far away, but it still gave the team a very awkward feeling.
The goddess looks to be at least eighty or ninety years old, with wrinkles on her face, and her silver-white hair combed into a long braid on the back of her head. Whether it is her clothing or headgear, there is no doubt that this goddess is He is an extremely traditional local, and I don’t know where he learned this standard Mandarin.
Is it necessary for the plot?
Qi Zhen was thinking in her head, clasped her hands in a salute, and said, "We have no intention of disturbing my mother-in-law's rest, but we do have important matters to rush to Buzhou Mountain. Please ask my mother-in-law to tell us what obstacles and difficulties there are. What preparations should be made?”
"Okay, do you want to know? Then beat me first." A dry and hoarse voice sounded, and the figure of the goddess appeared within a hundred steps of the team in an instant.
"Old lady, you are so old. Don't look back and hurt you. We would be very embarrassed," Yu Liang said.
Snapped!
Yu Liang's head seemed to have been hit hard, and he was instantly knocked to the ground. There was a close contact between his head and the ground, and there was a muffled sound!
