After the old dragon Ying Hong ascended and left for a while, the rolling sound in the sky could no longer be heard and the rain clouds seemed to be dissipating. Only then did Ji Yuan sit down on the ground with a limp body.
"Huh..."
Half lying down, rubbing his left chest and letting out a long breath, Ji Yuan was very sure that his heart would become stronger and stronger in the future.
It was not until he lay down for a long time that Ji Yuan recovered.
He stood up, patted his butt, and dusted off the front and back of him. Suddenly, a large cloud of dust was dusted off.
"Ahem... ahem... how much dust have I been stained with!"
My scalp feels a little itchy. When I scratch my head, I can feel the dandruff quickly accumulating between my nails.
"Pah~"
With a flick of the fingernail, the dirt was blown away.
"Hehe, this really looks like a sloppy master!"
He picked up the bag and put it on his back, then picked up the oil-paper umbrella in the corner and tucked it under his armpit. He kicked the stone wall and seemed to float and slide away, dragging his sleeves fluttering in the wind.
Because it had just rained heavily, the ground was extremely muddy. Ji Yuan took wide steps and a lot of mud and water still splashed on his body, but he didn't care at all.
Even if I could use a small water avoidance technique to prevent this, I would not waste my spiritual energy. Anyway, I was in a good mood and it didn't matter if I got splashed with some mud and water. Instead, I would just control my strength while jumping, just like a child playing, and compare with myself to see if I would splash less mud and water next time. I would also listen to the sound of the mud splashing.
Well, and I enjoy it.
The last time he did this was when Ji Yuan got a new pair of rain boots in the first grade of elementary school. But at that time, he was competing with his friends to see who could splash the most mud.
Actually, Ji Yuan now only has the Tian Di Hua Sheng, a righteous and basic method of cultivating immortals, and does not have the Qi Training Method in his hands. What circulates in his body is more like refined spiritual energy than magic power, which he uses to nourish his body and perform minor spells. But in terms of his state of mind and spirit, even though Ji Yuan is a layman, he feels that he understands everything at this moment, and even has a childlike heart.
Running so fast, Ji Yuan headed straight to the northeast based on his sense of direction. When the clouds in the sky completely cleared, he saw the outline of a city in the distance.
. . .
The scale of Deyuan County is much smaller than that of Ning'an County. After Ji Yuan entered the county, he clearly felt that both the flow of people and the buildings were inferior to those of Ning'an County.
But it makes sense. Although Ning'an County is not too big, its population is close to 20,000. More than 10,000 people live in the county seat alone. In addition, the county has been thriving in recent years due to the good governance of the officials.
In comparison, Deyuan County is much worse.
But after all, it is still a county town. The shouting sounds along the streets of the city are still heard one after another, and there are many pedestrians and merchants coming and going.
Ji Yuan tightened the bag on his back and followed the scent towards the restaurant which was about a hundred meters away. This time he didn't need to rely on his excellent hearing and poor eyesight to avoid pedestrians, because most people would actively avoid him.
This suddenly reminded Ji Yuan of his current state, and he subconsciously raised his hand and smelled his sleeve.
'Well, the smell shouldn't be that strong!'
Because it was almost noon at this moment, the closer we got to the area where there were many restaurants and hotels, the louder the surrounding noises became, and the crowds were also more dense compared to the crowds a hundred steps away.
"Come, come, come~~~ Dear guests, today we have freshly slaughtered lamb, carefully stewed chicken soup, and homemade rice wine. If you want to eat or drink, please come in~~~"
This restaurant called Huikelou has only two floors. Its floor area and building scale cannot be compared with the famous Miaowailou in Ning'an County. But the waiter at the door of this restaurant shouts very hard and has a loud voice. Ji Yuan thinks this is a kind of talent, otherwise ordinary people would lose their throats after shouting for so long. This person must do this every day.
Family members know their own business, so Ji Yuan did not ask for warm hospitality and followed other guests into Huike Building.
If you really can't get in, you can just find another place to take a shower.
The waiter obviously saw Ji Yuan. He stretched out his hand and opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything to drive the customer away.
After entering the store, the aroma of the food around him continued to flow to Ji Yuan's nose along with the steam. The chewing sounds were dense and crisp, making him secrete a lot of saliva.
No matter how delicious fresh dates are, their taste is still monotonous. Besides, all the dates were eaten up. Ji Yuan was very greedy for hot and delicious meals as he hadn't had them for a long time. He spotted an empty table in the blur and hurried over to occupy it.
I put my bag and umbrella on the corner of the table and waited for the waiter to come up and take my order.
At the other end of the counter, the shopkeeper was a fat middle-aged man with a moustache. He frowned at Ji Yuan's muddy and disheveled appearance. But as the saying goes, everyone who enters a store is a customer, and you can't just kick them out if they look like they are waiting to order. Otherwise, the reputation of Huikelou will be ruined.
Just look at the diners around, they all have looks of disgust on their faces, and some even turned around and left as soon as they saw Ji Yuan sitting in a prominent position in the lobby.
After thinking for a while, the shopkeeper beckoned to a shop assistant, who immediately came to the counter after seeing it.
"Go and ask that guest if he can sit in a different seat. We'll make a table for him in the corner and give him a small dish. Speak to him in a more friendly manner. Got it?"
The turbaned shop assistant looked in the direction the shopkeeper pointed, saw a few conspicuous Ji Yuan, and nodded in response.
"Oh, I see!"
After replying, the shop assistant ran to the table next to the supporting pillar a few feet away and kept wiping his hands with a towel. Before he could say anything, Ji Yuan spoke himself.
"Do you want me to move to another seat? Even a corner will do. Let's go over there quickly and order the food while we're at it. Hurry up!"
As he was speaking, Ji Yuan had already stood up, picked up his bag and umbrella, and also grabbed a pair of chopsticks that he had just taken out of the chopstick holder.
"Uh...Okay, sir, please come this way, please come this way!"
The waiter looked at Ji Yuan's dazed eyes and hurriedly led the way. In response to Ji Yuan's questions, he introduced some of his restaurant's specialties.
A moment later, at a table behind the main entrance on the front wall, the waiter was a little stunned after hearing the names of the dishes reported by Ji Yuan.
"Braised pork elbow, stewed hen, steamed rice cake, stewed three delicacies, boiled cabbage, pickled radish, stir-fried turnips, uh, sir... we can only give you one dish of stir-fried turnips... this, you..."
The shop assistant spoke in a low voice, his eyes frequently scanning Ji Yuan's body and the deflated gray cloth bundle. Perhaps only the oil-paper umbrella looked good.
"Haha, don't worry, I still have money to pay the bill, just tell the kitchen to cook."
Ji Yuan smiled and comforted her while taking out two silver coins from his pocket. He was not angry at being looked down upon. If he put himself in the other person's shoes, he thought that this was also human nature.
After the shop assistants left, Ji Yuan was the only one waiting there. He didn't feel anything at first because he was outside the city, but now that his appetite was aroused, he couldn't stand it anymore.
Holding the chopsticks in my mouth and sucking the tip of the chopsticks, taking a deep breath from time to time to smell the aroma of the food. Oh, is it really so annoying
