Chapter 151 A Café Suitable for Storytelling

Three hours passed quickly. Tang Xian woke up Tang Jifei and fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up the next day, the weather was gloomy.But Tang Xian looked at the sky and was sure it was just cloudy and it wasn't going to rain.

This is a good day to go out and explore.

So Dongran, Li Xiaoyu, Qiao Shanshan and Akas teamed up.They are responsible for searching the periphery to see if they can find valuable intelligence.

Qing Jiuyu and Tang Xian teamed up to search along the city center to see if they could find some other props that could be used, or found valuable information.

Li Xiaoyu was very dissatisfied with this arrangement, but Tang Xian seemed to have the demeanor of the head of the family, so this matter was settled by him.

As for Tang Suowe, Tang Xiaojiu and Tang Feifei, Tang Xian counted them as the children's group.

Because all three of them chose to run to play in the toy mall in the opposite department store.

Tang Feifei could never forget that there were still a bunch of Rubik's cubes waiting for him to solve.

It's okay to bring two stupid children, Tang Xian and the cunning humans don't have to follow, the treasure can only be monopolized by yourself!
……

……

Outside the East City District.

With the assistance of Akas, the girls didn't feel any uneasiness.

The surrounding scene shocked several people. Just like Tang Xian mentioned at dinner, the surrounding area was like a city wall made up of plants.

These crazy camphor trees surrounded the city.

Tang Xian described it as like a fence.

But when seeing this scene, Li Xiaoyu had another feeling.

Whether it is a fence or a city wall, the most important thing is, is the reason why these crazy plants stop growing suddenly, is it just to enclose human beings, or is there another reason?
Many vehicles lined up on the edge of the tree wall didn't look like they stopped here in a hurry.

Compared with the exit in the eastern suburbs, these vehicles are basically horizontal.

Women's thinking is more emotional than men's.

Although Li Xiaoyu does not have such characteristics.

But Dongran once again put forward a statement of value 1.2 winter beyond his own setting:

"Second Miss, are these plants protecting us?"

Li Xiaoyu was taken aback.

Qiao Shanshan also nodded, and said: "These vehicles are also, it looks like they want to block somewhere."

Li Xiaoyu thought about it along with the two of them, and found that this possibility is really possible.

The growth of the plants stopped abruptly. If these camphor trees continued to grow inside, the entire city would probably be covered with intertwined roots.

But they only grow along the edge, and after they gradually become dense, they are like a line of defense, and then stop growing.

"Let's go look in these vehicles, maybe there will be some clues."

Dongran and Qiao Shanshan nodded.

After Li Xiaoyu heard Dongran's words, he became more and more convinced that there must be some clues to be found here.

Arcas is in charge of patrolling the neighborhood.

There was nothing in this world that made him feel dangerous, but it had become a habit to be vigilant.

……

……

city ​​center.

On the way to the city center, Tang Xian found that there were basically no vehicles, as if all the vehicles had stopped at the edge of the city.

The road looked empty.Occasionally, some mice can be seen by the trash can.

But it also revolves around the dead bodies of some animals.

As for the garbage, after hundreds of years, there is nothing in the garbage that is worth the patronage of these "gold diggers".

Qing Jiuyu looked at the human world and was very interested in the distribution and style of buildings on these streets.

"Humans do enjoy it."

"Yes. The race that knows how to have fun and kills the most is us humans."

"seek death?"

"It's a frenzied exploration on the verge of death."

"Will you do the same?"

"Knowing you and Bai Mansheng, and even most of my experiences in the mining area, are experiences of dying."

Qing Jiuyu didn't speak, thinking carefully about the meaning of these words.

At this time, Tang Xian found a coffee shop.The signboard of this coffee shop can no longer see the artistic font on it.

But judging from the shape of the neon lights, it should be called a freshness cafe.

Tang Xian went in to have a look. The grinder could be used again after it was cleaned.If possible, he intends to take one along.

In the pyramid, coffee and tea are very expensive things.Even if you are looking for a trade route, it is difficult to get cocoa powder.

Because the Chinese Academy of Sciences is the only place to cultivate plants, and it also bears the burden of selling fruits and various plants in the entire Federation every year.

A catty of cocoa powder can buy a few temporary workers at the price of the fourth floor.

However, the technique of grinding coffee has been lost, and the taste of coffee has never been as smooth as described in ancient books.

Approached the coffee shop and scanned.Tang Xian unexpectedly discovered the wish wall.

It's what those customers left behind.

But the wishes and blessings written in the wish list can no longer be read clearly.

But everything in the store still made Tang Xian feel novel.

There may also be various contradictions in the way of life of ancient people.

But it is definitely not as clear-cut as a pyramid.

Tang Xian quickly found the machine.In the 2000 billion Weibo given by Luo Liuyan, Tang Xian couldn't remember a lot of information.

Even if you watch it for decades, it is impossible to finish reading it with 2000 billion readings.

Therefore, Tang Xian checked subconsciously, searching according to some professional keywords.

Such as cooking, cooking, clothing, architecture, photography, creation and so on.

There is also a search by popularity.

But most of the things searched by popularity are spam.

For example, a certain celebrity cheated, suffered domestic violence, took drugs, caught a cold, and was forced to fight.

all kinds of things.

The more useful information, the lower the search interest, and the more boring information, the higher the search interest.

This also gave Tang Xian a general understanding of that era, an era in which he could entertain himself until he was full.

In short, happy times.

Of course happiness is relative.Maybe people in that era will also feel pain because of 996 and poverty.

But for the people in the pyramid, everything looks so beautiful.

Because there is hope in life.

After finding the machine, he didn't stop searching. Tang Xian rummaged through the boxes to see if there were any other clues.

Qing Jiuyu said at this time:

"When are you going to play with this group of humans?"

Tang Xian didn't stop what he was doing, but asked:

"When will you play what?"

"They are human beings, aren't you gluttonous? I think these people are at most your servants, or spoils of war. They also listen to you."

Qing Jiuyu smiled lightly and said:

"I used to raise a few people, but then I found it boring and let them fend for themselves. I don't know if it's my illusion, but you seem to care about these people."

Tang Xian knew that bringing Qing Jiuyu to this world, or in other words, the friendship with Qing Jiuyu was getting deeper and deeper. During this process, many things must be said.

Tang Xian didn't intend to hide it, and said:

"I do care about these people."

"Why? They have pretty skins? You seem to be too partial to that human named Li Xiaoyu. Of course, it's not just her, but everyone else too."

Qing Jiuyu's tone was always lustful, but the suspicion in the voice could be clearly expressed.

This is just pure questioning, without any jealousy, it is purely from the hatred between species.

Tang Xian found a photo album from the cabinet, which surprised him.

Because the photo album can be kept for a long time as long as it is sealed properly.

"Xiao Jiu also likes these humans very much, why don't you ask her this question, I think she will definitely answer it for you."

Tang Xian opened the photo album.

Qing Jiuyu said:
"It's understandable that she likes humans, but you like humans, I can't understand, you are obviously not human."

"This question is very troublesome, and it takes a lot of effort to explain, but I am different from you. I don't hate humans, and I don't play with them. If you want to ask why, because I was actually raised by humans."

Tang Xian's tone was very flat, these words could not be said to Qing Jiuyu earlier, it's just that the time has come, and to say them is to push the boat along the way.

Qing Jiuyu was startled:
"Are you raised by humans?"

"Whether I am a human being or not remains to be verified, but I did grow up in an environment full of human beings. I lied to you before that the human world is dangerous, but in fact it was just to protect human beings."

"Now you're not lying?"

"No need to lie anymore."

"why?"

"Because we are friends, whether it's good for you or Bai Mansheng, I should be more honest. Friends will not do things that make things difficult for friends."

The three young people in the photo album seem to be the common owners of this coffee shop.

Most of the photos are the daily life of the cafe, with various guests.

He flipped through the pages. Although he was pleasantly surprised to find traces of human history, it was a pity that the contents of this photo album could not explain the catastrophe.

Qing Jiuyu sneered and said:

"This makes sense. You really look like a human being to me. But just because you and I are friends doesn't mean your friend is also my friend."

"Even if Xiao Jiu had no friends since she was a child, and finally found someone who cares about her, you still want to be hostile to these people?"

Tang Xian closed the album.Put it in the prop bag.

Qing Jiuyu said disdainfully:

"The best thing this race can do is to betray. But it's all hypocrisy."

Tang Xian raised his head and looked at Qing Jiuyu.

Qing Jiuyu's expression was still the same, no anger could be seen, but because of this, Tang Xian found it difficult to deal with.

This means that she has engraved certain views in her bones.

"You haven't mentioned Xiao Jiu's life experience. Are we considered friends?"

"Of course, if it weren't for your face, these people would have died in Tianque Plain that day. As for Xiaoni's life experience——"

Qing Jiuyu paused, smiled helplessly, and said:

"There is nothing to say about her life experience."

Tang Xian nodded and said:

"Xiao Jiu is half human, right?"

Qing Jiuyu's expression froze.

"You see it?"

"Well, in fact, I was just guessing. I thought her parents were the creatures of the fox clan at first, but for some reason, they were expelled by the fox clan. It's okay to say that she is not likable."

Tang Xian continued:

"But then I discovered that Xiao Jiu can sing human songs. The memory of humans is different from that of animals. Most humans don't remember things from their mother's womb, but animals are different."

"Xiao Jiu's mother should be a fox creature, and his father should be a human?"

"Yes." Qing Jiuyu didn't hide from Tang Xian anymore.

Tang Xian said: "Bai Mansheng doesn't hate humans. From this point of view, your dislike is not the confrontation between humans and beasts, but has something to do with Xiao Jiu."

Qing Jiuyu said charmingly, "Maybe I'm naturally cruel and cruel?"

Tang Xian nodded:
"Well, it's also possible that a femme fatale is also in line with your personality. But your love for Tang Xiaojiu makes your theory untenable. Why don't you tell me?"

"what?"

"The coffee shop is a place full of stories. It has been dead for hundreds of years. Maybe you can tell me about Xiao Jiu's life experience. I believe this is a story that is not very interesting, but it will make you think about it for a long time."

"I said, there's nothing to talk about, it's just that the humans and the fox tribe had a child, leaving behind a species that the tribe hates." Qing Jiuyu's tone was a little cold.

Tang Xian stared straight at Qing Jiuyu, and said:

"Xiao Jiu will be very sad when she hears what you said. Don't say such things again."

Qing Jiuyu was a little surprised, she laughed at herself and said:
"I won't let her know about her parents and background. When she becomes full-fledged and has the true power of the Nine-Tailed Fox, the tribe will eventually accept her return. Those unbearable pasts and humiliating backgrounds will also disappear. .”

Tang Xian walked up to Qing Jiuyu, frowned and said:
"People have two attitudes towards misfortune, one is pessimistic and falls in misfortune, and the other is optimism to fight against misfortune. Everyone is like this, but do you know what is the source of this difference?"

Qing Jiuyu didn't know why Tang Xian said this suddenly.

She shook her head.

Tang Xian said:

"Because of childhood, there are two kinds of people in this world. One kind of people heals their whole life with the luck of childhood. The other kind of people spends their whole life to heal the misfortune of childhood."

"You are my friend, I don't want to change your view. But you don't want to change Xiao Jiu's view of the world. You should be glad that she met Dong Ran, Qiao Shanshan, Tang Suoye, etc., because she has a relationship with these people. Get along with each other. In the future, she will recall the past so that she will not be swallowed up by desperate loneliness."

Qing Jiuyu noticed that Tang Xian's eyes were a little scary.

Every time this man saw him in the past, no matter how calm he was, or how eloquently he talked, he always had an aura of forbearance.

But when it came to Tang Xiaojiu and those humans, he was a different person.

There was a warning in that look.

"Really, for a child, are you guilty of being so cruel to me? I thought our relationship would be good,"

Qing Jiuyu's smile can always make any atmosphere instantly ambiguous.

Tang Xian nodded and said:

"You are indeed my friend. If not, I would not have brought you into this world. You must also understand that people like Li Xiaoyu and Dongran belong to this world. I hope Tang Xiaojiu can also integrate into this world in the future. this world."

Qing Jiuyu looked at Tang Xian with a complicated expression, and said:
"Your reaction today is different from what I imagined."

"Don't kill a boatload of people with one pole. There are many scum and villains among human beings. Our souls are ugly, but we also have the kindness that can heal others."

Tang Xian said: "Talk to me? I'm curious, before me, is there any human being who can have such a close relationship with all beasts."
