Sometimes Brother Zhang also wonders what it would be like if he were nothing, but he can only rely on guesswork for this question. Because of his uniqueness, he cannot find peers in the current multiverse. Others Whether it is Yingsha, Mouse, Jin Mei, or Zhang Yao, they can all find their corresponding counterparts in other universes. The world of high martial arts has the way of living in the world of high martial arts, and the world of low martial arts has the days of the world of low martial arts.
Brother Zhang also visited their faces in different worlds when he was bored. In the purely materialistic world, Zhang Yao was a pediatrician. She was almost thirty and was not married yet. Her family was very anxious and urged her to go on a blind date every day. , and she became a best-selling author because she wrote a book about her anecdotes about more than a hundred blind dates.
Rat was still a police uncle there, so he inherited his father's legacy. He jumped from a civilian police officer to a criminal police officer and later became an anti-narcotics police officer. He died at the age of twenty-five. Yingsha, on the other hand, opened a braised meat shop, and its main product is specially washed pig intestines.
Jin Mei is a wealthy daughter, rich, beautiful, and capable. She is surrounded by countless men every day, and she desires to play out the plot of "The Domineering Female President Falls in Love with Me" over and over again. However, she has extremely high vision, and so far no one can do it. Come into her eyes.
Pi Ye is not a vixen, she is just an ordinary female high school student. She does not have a long lifespan and will be trapped in love because of the handsome boys in her class. She often gets into trouble with her family, saying over and over again, "You don't understand me at all."
The more normal one is Xu Wei. Her peer is a simple and happy person. Her parents have not divorced, and they have not left her alone in her grandmother's house. She has a very ordinary life, with both parents, educated, and Neither poor nor rich, I went to a not-so-prestigious university, found a job that wasn't high-paying and had a part-time job, had a boyfriend who was neither handsome nor ugly, and was planning to get married.
Brother Zhang likes to watch their lives, because this is a life that he cannot experience. He has tried countless times before, but because of his own functions and personality, he is destined to be unable to become the popular crooked mouth. Dragon King, so he can only imagine what kind of state he should be in through other people's lives.
There are three modes for him to enter other worlds. One is the normal mode, which means that the body enters directly, just like time travel, and can interact with anything in it. It is no different from here. No one knows him, and he can say that he doesn't know him. anyone. The second is the observer mode. His consciousness enters another world and then cannot interact with anything. He can only observe the trends and developments inside. The other is the intervener mode, where his consciousness enters and can control everything, feeling. It's like playing a simulation game, the sims.
So they all think that Brother Zhang's daily life will be boring. In fact, this is wrong. His daily life is so colorful. He climbed Mount Everest without his abilities, drifted across the Indian Ocean alone, survived in the wild in the Amazon forest, and fought with mercenaries in the tunnels of Damascus. He never said that his life was boring from beginning to end. Everyone who felt sorry for him was just their own groundless conjecture.
He is not pitiful, how could he be pitiful? What is really pitiable are those who came home from work after 996 and 007 and could only eat a bowl of noodles to deal with them. It is those people who can only experience poetry and distance through short videos made by someone. People are those who carry a 120-pound refrigerator to the sixth floor in 40-degree weather for three meals and for their family.
But he never explained, because there is a mountain in people's hearts, and they look at each other across a mountain. Everyone stubbornly hopes that the other person will live as he imagined, and there will be slight differences. When you are angry, explanation is the weakest and useless appeal. Sometimes silence is the best explanation.
On working days in Chang'an Lane, there are no idle old men and old ladies. This place is so peaceful that it is scary. Young people go to work and go to school. Although autumn has arrived, the coolness is still early. There is a wind at noon, blowing the shade of the trees that cover the sky and swaying back and forth. The cicadas are chirping, impetuously singing that the autumn wind is still far away.
The small restaurant has ushered in its first dull season. The owner of Chang'an Lane is sitting on a chair at the door, looking at the machines that are still working on their own not far away, feeling sleepy.
Although there is obviously no need for sleep, if you don't take a nap at this time, it will somewhat delay this beautiful afternoon.
Xu Wei and Dahuang were playing with the jukebox in the back. It was their favorite toy during this period. For one dollar, they could openly share their music preferences without having to carefully guess whether others like it or not. The melodious sound of the acoustic guitar Coming from inside, there is a feeling of youth that is both incompatible with and unreasonably consistent with this old alley.
The old people in Chang'an Lane happily shared their travels with the group. Due to the weather, the first stop was changed from England to Greece. The Aegean Sea style allowed these old romantics to enjoy the scenery they had not experienced for a long time. The carefree and unrestrained, sun, beach and seafood stew can heal the withered heart of everyone regardless of age.
"Brother, you said they were all former mages and swordsmen. Why can they still live like ordinary people here?"
Xu Wei moved a stool to the door. The rhubarb climbed along her clothes to her shoulders, with a piece of dried yuyu in her mouth.
"Because when ideals are put into reality, everyone has to accept its trivialities. Everyone dreams of wandering around the world, but the question is whether you can bear the trivialities in the middle of the wanderings. Eating, drinking, sleeping, food, clothing, housing and transportation, all problems will not matter Follow your imagination when you set out, and they will either pop out one by one or come out all at once. Those travelers will only tell you how beautiful the scenery is along the way, but few people will tell you about the journey. How tiring.”
Brother Zhang picked up the teapot next to him and took a sip. He stared blankly ahead and said, "So only those who have traveled all over the world know how happy it is to have a home."
After speaking, he reached out and touched the rhubarb: "Right."
"Don't touch me." Dahuang turned his head away, then jumped onto Xu Wei's lap and climbed down: "Whoever likes to wander can go, I won't go."
At this time, Moon God Xiao Hei came over crying, and Brother Zhang looked at her a few times: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Hei picked up his phone and pointed at the pictures shared by old men and ladies: "I miss home..."
"What kind of family do you want? Your family sold you!" Dahuang scolded with a pout, "You white-skinned pigs don't have a single good thing."
Xiao Hei cried even harder...
"Don't make her angry." Xu Wei hit Dahuang: "It has nothing to do with her."
"Bah, what do you think she can be? Back then, Bai Pi's plan was to destroy all ancient civilizations, and this guy was one of the main forces. If it weren't for the awesomeness here, now this place would be no different from the one in India! You have to know that these idiots destroyed six civilization systems!"
Brother Zhang smiled and shook his head, but didn't say anything, because it was understandable that Dahuang was angry. After all, as one of the civilized wanderers who was killed, the hatred in his stomach was really endless. Period, if we want to say who hates white-skinned pigs the most, to be honest, the people in this place are not among the top three. They have to be Egypt, India, Babylon, and India. The plan to subjugate the country and genocide has been completed. Now this place Basically, the local culture has to be supplemented by Hollywood. To say it is sad, this is a very sad thing.
So Dahuang went up and planned to destroy the world directly with the Scarab, and its attitude towards Xiao Hei was so bad. This is actually the reason. But now, who would have thought that the purest Egyptian civilization would actually take root in the East? The little Jackal Death is now acting as a daughter to an older brother who is in his twenties.
In the evening, the small restaurant finally became lively, but it soon became deserted. After dinner, there were only a few regulars left here chatting and drinking, as well as a few foreign tourists who came here to visit. After staying for a while, the original excitement flew to the Aegean Sea with the old guys.
Zhang Yao didn't show up during this period. I heard that Nian Nian said that she was in retreat for research. Most of the others were busy with their own affairs. At twelve o'clock, which was originally a busy time, only Xu Wei, Xiao Zhang and Xiao were left in the room. Black trio.
"Come for a late night snack."
Brother Zhang sorted out the remaining ingredients today and made a pot of Mediterranean mixed seafood rice, seafood and vegetable salad, a kind of meat skewers called souvlaki and fried cuttlefish rings.
Xiao Hei looked at the food on the table in disbelief, and then burst into tears after just one bite. Xu Wei smiled and glanced at Brother Zhang, just because Xiao Hei said he missed home at noon, he I made a table of delicacies that only belong there. I’m afraid no one can resist such tenderness.
"Brother, have you ever thought about experiencing another kind of life?"
While eating, Xu Wei curiously asked Brother Zhang: "Let's try a different life."
Brother Zhang shook his head, picked up a bottle of Mediterranean-style whole wheat dark beer and handed it to Xiao Hei, then placed a slice of cheese on the seafood fried rice and melted it with a spray gun, then he smiled and said: "Enjoy your life It's enough. I've tried it before, but I didn't feel comfortable."
"I really want to see you pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger." Xu Wei giggled loudly. However, after she took a bite of the salad, she covered her mouth in surprise: "This! This is so delicious. How to make it?" Yes, teach me, teach me!”
Brother Zhang took some salad with tongs and took two bites, then nodded and said: "As for the salad, there is actually no special method, it is just lobster meat, crab roe, crab claw meat, shrimp, etc. I just added some extra Tuna and garlic crisps, this way the taste will be richer and the aroma will be stronger. If you like it, you can add a little lime juice after adding the white wine vinegar, and the taste will be very complex. By the way, it’s okay. Add a little fresh perilla leaf. Food doesn’t have to be prepared in a fixed way, it can be varied.”
Xu Wei nodded hurriedly, and she quickly picked up a pen and wrote it down.
Don't look at these simple dishes, but after you take a bite and close your eyes, you can feel like you can hear the sound of waves. No matter how picky your taste buds are, you can't fault it.
"Brother, someone called us this afternoon and asked if we would like to be certified by Michelin."
Brother Zhang just shook his head, then waved his hands and said, "No need, we are just a small shop doing neighborhood business."
At this moment, the door outside was pushed open, and then a stranger walked in. She looked back and forth, and then walked to Brother Zhang: "Excuse me... is there anything to eat?"
Brother Zhang raised his head and looked her around, and found that this woman was about twenty-four or five years old, her eyes were a little red and swollen, she had no shoes on her feet, her hair was a little messy, but the clothes on her body looked valuable.
"Do you need help? Call the police?"
"No... I just wanted to have something to eat. I happened to see that there was still light here, so I came in. If there is no light, forget it. I'll go look elsewhere."
Brother Zhang pointed to the things on the table: "The store is overpriced, but there are many more here. If you don't mind, you can eat some together for free."
The woman hesitated for a while, but her stomach was growling, so she could only sit down awkwardly. Xiao Hei quickly went to get her a bowl, and she was also very surprised by Xiao Hei's face. , it was hard for her to imagine that such a beautiful woman would be serving dishes here...
However, the deliciousness of the food quickly dispelled her doubts. She had tasted it before, but the food in front of her had a taste that she could not describe. It could be said to be top-notch delicious, even those from abroad. Even top chefs may not be able to create such a taste.
During the meal, Brother Zhang didn't ask anything. It was as if there was no such person. They chatted about their days and ate their food. They didn't feel any difference because there was one more person.
And this woman obviously did not come from an ordinary family. Her eating manners showed that she was well-educated, chewing slowly and looking intently.
"Brother, I'm very curious. Even if you are basically not profitable, why would you want to open a restaurant?"
Brother Zhang laughed when he heard this question. He leaned on his chair and was silent for a while before saying, "Because I think food is one of the few things that can calm emotions at a very low cost, no matter the cooking process. It is still a process of tasting. Especially when you see others expressing their approval of the meals you have made, it is actually very fulfilling. Many times we don’t know what we want, so when we are confused, it is better to taste it first. Bowl of soup.”
"Really!" Xu Wei said excitedly: "My braised pork is particularly popular. The more they like it, the happier I am."
Ranwen
The woman next to her chewed carefully while listening to their conversation, but she didn't interrupt, she just ate silently, and started crying while eating.
Brother Zhang turned his head and glanced at her, then handed over a few tissues: "People who can eat while crying can usually walk a long way."
One sentence made the girl burst into tears and burst into laughter: "I'm sorry...for affecting you."
"It's okay." Brother Zhang shook his head and said, "Just eat."
But at this moment, a man rushed in from outside. After looking around, he came straight in this direction. He pointed at the woman who was eating: "You have the nerve to run away? You have done something that I'm sorry for and you still have the face." cry?"
After saying that, he raised his hand and tried to knock the bowl off the woman's hand, but Xu Wei caught his hand before it fell. He struggled a few times but couldn't break free from Xu Wei's hand, so he shouted angrily. Get up: "It has nothing to do with you, let me go!"
Xu Wei frowned: "You still want to hit someone, right? Believe it or not, I called the police!"
But the woman put down the bowl in a hurry, stood up and said to Brother Zhang and the others: "Thank you..."
After saying that, she was about to go out with the man, but Xu Wei reached out and stopped her: "You don't have to leave, I'll see what he can do to you today!"
