Nine Star Burden

Alliance leader plus 210

* * *

The temperatures in the northern river in late November are already low.

At 10: 50 p.m., the cold wind rolled down the leaves, making a rubbing noise of the ground in the alley.

In a pitch-black alley, in a small, dilapidated shop, it's warm as spring.

Slightly older glass doors show indoor and outdoor temperatures with a layer of fog.

One big, one small, two figures stood in front of the door and looked at this small shop with no sign.

“Here?” Jiang Xiao looked up at the second tail.

“Mmm.” At the end of the step, push the door in.

Jiang Xiao followed him in. Compared to the worn out outside, the interior, though brief and small, was unusually clean and tidy.

Aside from the invisible backchef, there are only more than 20 square meters, with six small tables, empty, which should be closed.

An old aunt over half a century old, slightly fat, short haired and curly, sitting behind a wooden bar, counting her income for the day.

The little bell on the door made a crisp noise as the store door opened. The aunt raised her head and gave a friendly smile: “We are closed..."

Auntie's face was stiff and looked at the tall figure. The smile on her face grew more sincere. Her eyes seemed slightly cloudy. “Son, are you on vacation? ”

The second tail nodded gently, and a smile appeared on that cold face: “Aunt Yu. ”

That's... a warm smile.

Jiang Xiaobing knew that the woman around him was angry, but he had never seen her smile so warm.

As if her cold breath had been dispersed by this old, warm little shop.

Her temperament keeps anybody out of three points and doesn't allow anybody to draw her on par with a normal person.

But here, Jiang Xiao saw an ordinary young woman with a human colour.

“Older than the boss, got to work.” Auntie hurried back to the cook, whispering in her mouth, "Is there any cod in the house? Here comes the red one. ”

“You come here every vacation?” Jiang Xiao asked.

“Mmm.” The tail took off the dark red trench coat and hung it on the hanger.

Just after the simple action, an uncle with slightly white hair walked over with an induction cooker and a tummy pan and put them on a small table of their choice.

“Come on, come on, come on.” Uncle chuckled and squatted down with a plug.

“I'll do it." Jiang Xiao took the plug and looked at himself.

“Pretty good, huh?” Uncle looked at the tail and wiped his hands back and forth on the apron in front of him.

“Okay.” The two tails slightly raised their heads and smiled. The narrow Dan Phoenix's eyes bent into two lunar teeth.

“That's good, that's good, open it. Wait, I'll be right there.” Uncle hurried and said, turning to the back chef.

A few minutes later, the stomach pan was steaming hot air, making a grunting noise.

A plate of salted peanuts, an old vinegar egg, and a plate of nutty spinach on the table.

The second tail looked at Jiang Xiao and said: "Wine. ”

Jiang Xiao picked up the peanuts with one hand and seemed infected with her style. "Car. ”

The second tail nodded and no longer responded, just turning the stomach in the pan.

Since entering the old and warm cabin, Jiang Xiao had no intention of opening the subject, and he did not want to disturb the rare state of the second tail.

“You're going to the arsenal the day after tomorrow.” Second tail said.

“Yeah, the province seemed unsatisfied with the students' achievements in the National League, which made the experience more difficult.” Jiang Xiao ate a peanut.

“Oh.” The second tail laughed with disdain, putting it aside.

“Come on, kid, what do you want to drink?” Auntie brought two glasses, one empty, one full of alcohol, and put it in front of Jiang Xiao, and said to him, "Homemade burnt, are you... young? ”

Jiang Xiaolian shook his hand. “Just white water is fine. ”

“Good boy, you have to drink less.” Auntie whispered and turned to get the kettle.

The second tail picked up the glass in front of him and took a shallow sip, spicy liquid scattered between his lips and tongues, burning like a fire all the way down his throat into his chest.

The second tail slowly lowered the glass and felt the flame in his chest, slowly exhaling the chills: “The star tricks carried by the alien creatures in the arsenal are not for you. ”

“Not bad.” Jiang Xiao casually said, "I analyzed it carefully, some of the star tricks are quite interesting. ”

The second tail looked at Jiang Xiao silently and said: “You only have 9 star slots, you shouldn't waste empty slots on those star moves. ”

“Are you offering me advice? What do you care what my groove is?” Jiang Xiao asked with a smile.

The second tail nodded: "Yes, I will participate in every step of your future growth. ”

Jiang Xiaoxin panicked and quickly changed the subject: “That ‘hate’ is still good. ”

Second tail: “Brass, useless. ”

Jiang Xiao picked up a string of bellies and said: “That ‘love’ is not bad either. ”

The second tail shook his head: “Silver, the halo range is too small and the effect is too low. ”

Yeah,

Jiang Xiaoqiao whispered,

That's tough, man.

Looking at Jiang Xiao's appearance, Er Tail Sha muted: “Don't expect to cover low-star skills and improve quality with high-star beads in the future. No one in the world will love you as much as they do, regardless of life or death. ”

Jiang Xiaoqing stunned for a moment, uh... it seems that she and Haitianqing have discussed it, and that their thoughts are the same.

The second tail swept Jiang Xiao's cold glance, and the voice still didn't have any repression: “You only have 6 star slots left, your few star moves beyond quality are enough for your early growth, wait until after your star river period, choose from the Golden Star moves. ”

“You're a little overbearing.” Jiang Xiao was helpless.

Second tail picked up the glass, looked at Jiang Xiao, and took a shallow sip.

“Linen, lamb skewers, and your favorite roasted cod.” Auntie came over with a plate and as she said, she put the teapot at Jiang Xiao's table.

Without receiving a response from the tail, the aunt did not speak again. She looked at the tail of the drink and looked at Jiang Xiao, who had picked peanuts, and she quietly left.

The boiling belly pan smells of white mist.

Through the fog, Jiang Xiao looked at the two tails of Dan Feng's eyes, determined and courageous, "I don't want to join the army, I want to go to school. ”

The eyes at the end of the day rose sharply, looking at Jiang Xiao, silent.

Jiang Xiao pulled down his hoodie collar, his body was hot and his heart was cold.

In this warm little shop, this more human tail adds a little courage to Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiaoqiang calmed down: “I want to be with my sister. Last time I saw the real danger in the snow, I knew what kind of battle she would be involved in as an excellent awakener. I wanted to be with her as much as possible. ”

His eyes darkened at the tail, picked up the glass he had just dropped and slowly placed it on his lips.

The small shop that was closed was empty. Although the white light was bright, it was only Jiang Xiao's table.

No hustle, just the ticking sound of the clock on the wall.

No noise, just the boiling noise in the belly pan.

Finally, the second tail broke the silence, the dull voice said, “Well... eat. ”

“Don't eat it.” Jiang Xiao was anxious to get up, "she said.“ There are classes tomorrow. She's waiting for me to come back. It's too late, she'll be worried. ”

The second tail was silent, nodded gently, raised his hand, took out a rolled map in the trench coat pocket hanging on the wall and handed it to Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiaoqi asked curiously: "What is this? ”

The sound of the second tail was dull and the motion was a little stiff: “Take it. ”

Jiang Xiao looked at the drawings in front of her and looked at the tail, but found that her eyes were dropping low, and her eyes were no longer any aggressive.

Jiang Xiao was not mesmerized by this look. He saw her stiff motion and thought about it again. Jiang Xiao still took the map and said softly: “Go home early. ”

Jiang Xiao turned around and walked out of this warm and bright shop, pushing open the foggy glass door, a cold wind came, he raised his jacket collar and turned to look inside.

Two tails sat alone behind the table, and the vaporized fog in the pot on the table covered her face.

I could just see her picking up the glass again and pouring it up her head.

By the time I put the glass down again, there was only half a cup left.

Jiang Xiao shook his head and closed the door, revealing a slightly dark alley quietly.

Look out, there are lights between the tall buildings and the warm lights.

He remembered Haitianqing's orders, maybe she wasn't as radical as Haitianqing said.

Alternatively, this particular environment increases Jiang Xiao's survival rate.

Jiang Xiao walked out of this dark alley and saw the pitch-black sedan parked at the entrance of the alley.

He held his forehead helplessly and held his hand in his pocket, and the car keys were still with him.

Whatever the character of the second tail, Jiang Xiao doesn't think it would be the right option to return the car keys.

I don't know how to be good Jiang Xiao, one ass sat on the stairs and left the keys on the tire? Or go back and put it in front of the store? Why don't you knock on the door? Normally, the aunt will come out, right?

Jiang Xiao, sitting on the stone steps thinking, held the map in his left hand, the key in his right hand, a little upset, through the dim street lamp, he turned on the map.

This is...

A topographic map of the arsenal?

Hand-painted?

It has all kinds of terrain, symbolic markings, restricted areas, monster distribution, supply points, guards, night watchmen...

Tight and numb, to the point of detail.

The text marked above, in one stroke, looks like you can see the sword shadow.

Swallow tail, iron painting silver hook.

Just like her people, they speak poorly and speak sharply; they are careless and rigid.

Originally this heartwarming gesture, this full of care and love, became hegemonic and tough, even clumsy.

Jiang Xiao looked at the detailed map of the hand in his hand, and in his mind, the cold look of the second tail also became silent and stubborn.

When she remembered the dark appearance of her fog, Jiang Xiao couldn't help but stand up.

“Hey...” Jiang Xiao deeply sighed, turning and walking back.

Bell bell.

The door rang with a bell.

Auntie's voice came from the indoor bar: “We turn it off...”

Auntie's voice stopped, Jiang Xiaomie walked in and came to the table.

Saw a bowl of chopsticks in front of her that had never been moved, and that empty glass.

“You're back. ”

In her dull voice,

Finally brought a little emotional ups and downs.

Through the vaporized fog, Jiang Xiao seemed to see a hint of surprise on her cold face.

Perhaps,

He must be mistaken.
