"You're not coming? Hey, what do you mean! You're so late for not telling me that you're telling me now?"
Roland couldn't help turning his head away from the roar from the phone. Even through the loudspeaker, he could feel Garcia's anger.
"Suddenly there is a guest at home, and it's still the kind that has to be received." Taking advantage of the other party's gasp, he quickly explained, "I can't help it, you know that besides me, there is only one fourteen left in the room. Year-old kid, you can't let her entertain guests, can you?"
"You live in 0825, right, I'll come and talk to you!"
"Uh, I'm not in the tube building now..." When he said this, Roland narrowed his eyes and was ready for the sonic attack.
Sure enough, Garcia raised his voice again, "Did you know that I made an appointment with the seniors of the association? I thought you finally took on the responsibility you were supposed to take, so what's the point of escaping! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, give it to you now I'm back!"
What the hell is taking responsibility... This is easy to misunderstand, okay
When he saw the taxi driver's expression of "good boy, there's a trick, I understand your difficulties", Roland knew that the explanation might not work.
"Hey, what are you talking about? It seems that the signal is not good. I'm entering Dongfang Road. Hey, are you still listening? Hey... Hey?" , and turned off the power of the phone.
This time, I am afraid that this martial arts star has been completely offended.
He didn't expect Garcia to be so concerned about his agreement to join the Martial Daoist Association, and the other party's reaction once again made him confirm that the cold attitude is just her appearance towards strangers, once she becomes the awakening of the power of nature that she recognizes Only then will his true nature be revealed.
"The old trick," Zero snorted coldly, sitting behind her, "Do you think we're staying in the deep mountains and old forests? How could we encounter signal problems if we didn't leave the city."
"You talk too much," Roland glanced at the back seat, and saw that Phyllis was leaning against the window, staring at everything outside the window in a stunned manner, her posture hadn't changed since getting in the car. No wonder she was surprised, high-rise buildings, dense traffic, huge billboards, wall-mounted screens, these things can cause such a shock to an ancient person, just think about it. In fact, the changes of the times caused by the progress of productive forces are getting faster and faster. A city may undergo earth-shaking transformation in just 20 years. Even the people living in the city may not be able to accept it, let alone the tower. Qiraji witches too.
For this trip, Roland replaced her tattered robe (according to her, it was a Taquila uniform) with his own. The short sleeves and sweatpants are very neutral, and there is nothing wrong with Phyllis wearing them. , On the contrary, the clothes from the stalls are obviously very cheap, but she wears a casual and comfortable fashion sense on her. It has to be said that the appearance is indeed a magical thing. The only trouble was wrapping the chest. In the end, I had to ask Zero to take action and solve this problem with wrapping cloth.
Therefore, the purpose of shopping this time is very clear. In addition to eating and drinking with the Witch of God's Punishment, the rest is to buy her a suit in case she can enter the dream again? You can't just walk around in his men's clothes, wrapped in strips of cloth.
"Here, Cuigu Park," the driver pressed down the meter, "Twenty-five yuan."
This park is not far from Tongzilou. It is also a high-quality green space that Roland discovered when he was exploring the city. Not many people come here to hang out. There is a commodity street around, and the most important thing is that there are chain stores with Kaifeng cuisine and Lanlan Road.
That's right, this is Roland's first choice restaurant. The roadside shop's environment is too outdated, and the taste is not standard. After all, the purpose of this trip is to bring a wonderful experience to the visitors from another world. Naturally, it has both taste and environment. It is the most basic requirement, and at the same time, it can also meet the condition of "letting the other party eat enough". Those star-rated stores are obviously better, but if you eat with an open stomach... Roland felt that his wallet might not be able to support such consumption.
Therefore, the fast food restaurant that is not up and down has obviously become the most suitable choice.
Moreover, Zero also clamored to eat this doll toy that came with the children's meal for a long time, which was very attractive to the little ghosts.
Walking into the Kaifeng restaurant with the two, Roland found a seat by the window and sat down. Roland came to the counter and ordered two family buckets and a children's set meal.
"Why did you buy so much!" Zero was surprised when she saw Roland holding a large plate of food stacked on the table, "Uncle, even if you have a job, don't waste it."
"Since it's rare to meet me when I'm generous, why don't you just eat it obediently?"
"Oh!" After the little girl took the set toy in her hand, her pouting mouth finally calmed down a lot.
"You can eat it too, don't tell me if it's not enough," Roland handed a piece of fried chicken in front of her. The chicken skin, which was fried at high temperature and pressure, showed an attractive golden color, and the smell alone made the index finger move. The chicken cooked by modern methods not only maintains its own tender and smooth taste, but also completely penetrates the deliciousness of black pepper, thyme, garlic salt and other seasonings into the meat fibers, and the effect is completely incomparable to the white plate meat of that era.
Fast food is often criticized for its high calorie and cookie-cutter taste, but in ancient times when there was a lack of food and seasonings, it was undoubtedly the best in the world, not to mention Phyllis hadn't tasted it for hundreds of years.
Along the way, she perfectly carried out Roland's entrustment, no matter how novel she encountered, she never asked, and did her best to imitate other people's actions. But at this moment, she could no longer control herself when she took the bite of the fried chicken, and two lines of tears came out of her eyes and couldn't help flowing down.
"Sister, this is..." Zero couldn't help being stunned.
"Uh, it's nothing, she just hasn't filled her stomach for a long time. Phyllis's family is not good to her... They always wanted a boy, but never got it... Anyway, you don't understand if you talk too much, as long as Just know that she had a hard time there."
"Is that so..." The little girl's expression softened instantly, probably feeling sympathy.
Roland didn't care about why Zero called Phyllis her sister, but called herself an uncle. He watched the scene of the ancient witch crying and gulps of fast food, and a trace of sigh appeared in his heart.
In his eyes, a very ordinary enjoyment, for them, it has become a dream that is willing to give everything to pursue. The huge difference between these will inevitably make people feel sad, but fortunately, Phyllis has finally touched the edge of her dream now, although she does not know if there will be another time.
And all he can do is to meet her request as much as possible in this short day.
