Endless vast other world

Chapter 91

A person, even if he dies of starvation, should maintain the nobility of spirit.

but.Kongzhen at this time changed his mind.

He figured it out.

He knows it now.This kind of thinking is just an escape.

Just like children who don't want to do their homework, they will start to clean up the house without warning.

Escaping reality with reality.Fight busyness with busyness.

On weekdays, Sora despises such behavior.

He felt that this was an act of cowardice.

But this time.He made an exception for a long time.

while walking.finally.

Sora saw a booth.

To be precise, it is a mobile booth.

This stall is actually a small trolley with wheels.

In front of the trolley, two small stools were simply placed.Behind the trolley is the boss at work.

An old man in his 60s who runs that small stall.

In front of the trolley, there are two thick curtains to keep out the wind and cold.

Sora looked in through the gap in the curtain.

At this time, in front of the booth, there was only a middle-aged man eating alone.

Sora leaned forward.

before.In the middle of the night, when Kong Ma was dragging his tired body, when he came back from the small library in Beran Town, he would always see this kind of stall.

Because there is no money.On weekdays, he just looked around curiously from a distance.

But today.He was indeed about to go in.

Sora walked slowly to the side of the stall, hoping to see the price list from a distance.

In this way, you can avoid the embarrassment of not being able to pay - although this kind of small stall is generally not very expensive.

pity.Although he looked around for a while, he still couldn't see the price list.

Generally speaking, the stall owner will write the name of the dish and the corresponding price on the wood chip.Then, hang the wood chips on the dolly cart.

However, the old man didn't do that.

In fact, the old man had already noticed Sorama.

Being well-informed, he has long understood Kongzhen's situation.

It was as if he could directly see the empty wallet.

The old man who knows how to do business, took the initiative to wave to Kong Ma, beckoning Kong Ma to come over.

Sora hesitated for a few seconds, then walked over timidly.

When Sora approached the table, the middle-aged man had just finished eating.

From his tired expression and crumpled clothes, it is not difficult to see that he is a small employee who just came back from work.

What's more, he was sitting next to the stool, and there was an old business bag.

The middle-aged man wiped his mouth, thanked the stall owner, picked up his business bag and left.

Before leaving, he glanced curiously at Kong Zhen who was huddled beside him.

But then he turned his head, shrugged nonchalantly, and left.

It was the first time for Kong Ma to come to this kind of cart stall.

He was a little afraid to sit down at first.

The old man smiled and asked him what he wanted to eat.

He stood there blankly for a long time, unable to speak.

The old man took the initiative to recommend: "Today's salt-baked saury is very fresh. Try it."

Sora asked, "How much?"

"It's really delicious," said the old man.

Sora asked, "How much?"

The old man laughed all of a sudden.

After opening the shop for so many years, he must have seen many people like Sora.

"Sell it to someone else, four copper coins per strip. Sell it to you, three copper coins per strip."

Sora didn't answer.

The old man said, "How about it? Have a taste?"

Sora nodded and sat down.

The boss took out a saury that had already been gutted, and skillfully cut four times on the back of the fish.

Then, coat the whole body of saury with fine salt and sprinkle with some seasonings.

After standing for a while, put it on the grill on the iron plate.

not for a while.The scent of saury permeated through the tin foil covering the fish and reached Kongzhen's nose.

Sora couldn't help but lean forward.

Not only to smell the smell of fish, but also to keep warm by the charcoal fire.

The old man concentrated on grilling the saury.

Sora said nothing.

He was lost in thought, staring at the flames in the stove.

He saw that the flame was trapped in the furnace.

The flames jumped up and down, flickering.

It was the struggle of the flames.

How intense!How ferocious!

And how in vain!how useless!
Hollow understands from the bottom of my heart.

In fact, isn't it just this group of flames?

The appearance may be dry, but the heart is so powerful and warm!

How full is my soul!
However, what's the use?

well.No matter how the flames struggle, how they fight, how can they escape from the cage of the stove?

Even if it really leaves, can the flame still exist?

While struggling, he had no choice but to obey.

How strange.

But this is reality.

Empty.He was a human first, and a magician second.

He must first live as a human being.

And as a human being.On this cold winter night, Sora couldn't rely on eating magic to fill his stomach.

He must eat a salt-baked saury.

Although this saury would cost him two copper coins.

Thinking room.The saury has been grilled and served on the table.

What a saury for two copper coins!
This is probably the smallest saury that Sora has ever eaten in his life.

Sora raised his head and looked at the boss.

The boss pretended not to see it.

The old man lowered his head and wiped the already clean plate in his hand.Pretend to be working.

You get what you pay for.Sora smiled wryly in his heart.

Sora may be able to bear the chill in his body.

The chill in the heart made Kong Zhen really unbearable.

He picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

For a moment, in this wind and snow, there was a deathly silence.

Even the sound of chopsticks touching the plate was covered by the sound of wind and snow.

"bump!"

A loud noise startled Sorama.

Follow the reputation.

Oh, it's a dirty stray cat.

At some point, the wild cat jumped onto the table.

Before the boss could react, the wild cat swiftly rushed towards a saury.

Put it in your mouth and run away immediately.

That big saury is still alive.In the wild cat's mouth, the fish tail was still wagging, struggling.

well.Naturally, the fish's struggle was in vain.

No matter how much you wag your tail and struggle, can you escape from the cat's mouth?
The boss panicked.

He didn't even have time to untie the apron, so he swooped out and chased the stray cat.

Before leaving, there was a "bang".The old man seemed to put something on the table.

Sorama was left alone, sitting at the table.

Sora shook his head and sighed.

Just going to continue eating fish.

He saw the wooden box where the boss put the money.

Yes, a wooden box for money.

When Sora was eating fish just now, the boss was holding the money box and busy counting the money.

When the boss went to chase the cat, he just put the money box on the table.

Now.This money box was placed in front of Kong Zhen.

The money box was not locked.

There is a lot of money in the money box.

Kong Zhen only felt that his heart tightened all of a sudden.

His heart was beating "thumping".

Look at where you are now.

Sora, a poor magician.There is no money left in my pocket.
