Douluo: Titled Sword King, Martial Soul Killing Immortal Four Swords

Chapter 23 New Year’s Eve, the little match girl

The passage of time makes it difficult to react. Li Tiangang, Xiao Feng, Dai Mubai and Oscar are training day by day, and the New Year is gradually approaching.

On New Year's Eve, the snow was flying, firecrackers were blasting, and the fireworks lit in the village lit up the entire Shrek Academy, filling the whole village with a joyful atmosphere.

Inside the cafeteria of Shrek Academy, the atmosphere is warm and lively.

Flanders, Zhao Wuji, and the other three teachers were laughing and chatting while each was busy, some handling the fresh flesh of the soul beast, and some rolling out the dough.

Xiao Feng and Oscar were tinkering with some ingredients together. One of them used bamboo skewers to skewer vegetables and lean meat, and the other grilled skewers of sausages.

As for Dai Mubai, he returned to the Star Luo Empire a few days ago.

Li Tiangang leaned against the door of the cafeteria, looking at the white snow falling in the night outside, his eyes a little dazed.

Unconsciously, it has been two years since he came to Douluo World. Everything has changed, but it seems that nothing has changed...

Not long after, an icy chill came faintly, which brought him back from his faraway thoughts. He shivered and tightened his tight clothes.

Xiao Feng placed many attractively colored and delicious meat and vegetable skewers on the table.

In the middle of the table is a large iron pot with scorching heat. The spicy oil soup in the pot is boiling sizzlingly, and many condiments exude a fragrance that tantalizes the taste buds.

Xiao Feng looked at the wandering Li Tiangang with doubtful eyes, approached him and called out softly: "Boss, we have finished the hot pot, come and eat together!"

Oscar put his sausage on the table and said with a mean smile: "Yes, Senior Li, come on, I have grilled more than 30 sausages, and the taste is excellent!"

Li Tiangang threw away the messy thoughts in his mind and said with a chuckle: "Here we come." It seemed that he had not experienced this joyful feeling for a long time.

After the children sat down, Flanders and the others also brought over the various delicacies they had prepared.

At this time, Zao Wuji grinned and poured everyone a large glass of the wine he brewed with fruit juice. For a moment, the refreshing fruity aroma lingered on everyone's noses.

Flanders pushed up his glasses and showed an incredible smile. "Old Zhao, I usually wouldn't bear to drink a small glass of this fruit wine from you, but now I can finally drink it to my satisfaction."

Li Tiangang heard that this fruit wine was a method that Zhao Wuji learned from a master winemaker. He continued to improve it, and finally brewed it for several years before getting seven or eight kilograms, so he was very concerned about it. Normally, he himself would not know how to do it. for drink.

Zhao Wuji chuckled and said: "Normally I can't taste it myself, but I'm happy today. Come on, everyone, cheers!"

Everyone at the table raised their wine glasses and cheered in unison: "Cheers!"

Li Tiangang took a sip and suddenly felt his eyes light up.

A sweet and refreshing fragrance lingers on the tip of the tongue, and two unique feelings of coolness and warmth slowly slide into the stomach, which is very different from the usual spicy and exciting wine.

Needless to say, there is still something in Lao Zhao’s brewing technology.

Seeing everyone's surprised reactions as if they had discovered something new, Zhao Wuji felt proud in his heart. "Everyone, I, Zhao, have worked hard for several years to make this fruit wine. How does it taste?"

Li Yusong and the other teachers looked at each other and praised with a smile: "It's really good!"

While everyone was chatting and laughing, Zao Wuji filled a glass for everyone again. Looking at the half-full wine jar, he shook his head. On a big day, happiness is the most important thing. The wine can be brewed again in a few days.

Fruit wine tastes good, but it is wine after all. It is not as alcoholic as fruit juice, and it is even more powerful than ordinary alcohol.

Li Tiangang, Xiao Feng, and Oscar were younger and got drunk very quickly. They all felt a little dizzy, but they did not use their soul power to expel the drunkenness.More than two hours later, everyone had almost eaten all the delicacies on the table. Zao Wuji, who was in high spirits, actually refilled the last glass of fruit wine for everyone.

The drunken Oscar didn't even think about it, and drank it all in one gulp. Then, with a clang, the wine glass flew to the side, and he lay down on the table, snoring and fell asleep.

Xiao Feng ate a few more skewers of barbecue, but as he got drunker, he began to feel dazed. He shook his head and said to the empty person behind him: "Boss, come on, eat skewers. I can control the heat well." , charred on the outside and tender on the inside...hehe..."

After scoring twice, there was a clang, and the wine glass in Xiao Feng's hand rolled to the side, his body tilted, and he also fell asleep on the table.

Li Tiangang did not drink the third glass of fruit wine. He was already seventy percent drunk and would get over it if he drank again.

He looked up and saw that although Flanders and the others were not drunk, they were talking nonsense.

Flanders hugged Zao Wou-Ki's thigh and cried, Erlong, don't leave. Zao Wou-Ki gnawed a piece of cleanly eaten bones like a chicken leg, which made a very calcium-rich look.

Li Yusong, Lu Qibin, and Shao Xin were sitting at the door together, swaying around, counting little stars, one, two, three, and four connected in a line.

Li Tiangang drank a few sips of the still hot broth before he felt less dizzy than before. After helping everyone back to the dormitory one by one, he felt that he was not very sleepy, so he walked out of Shrek Academy and came to the village. superior.

Although the night is already dark, there are many people on the street. They are happy and ready to welcome the new year.Some people set off fireworks and firecrackers, while others were laughing and playing.

Li Tiangang walked boredly on the street, letting the white snow fall on his head.

A timid female voice suddenly sounded in the night. "Excuse me...do you need matches?"

Li Tiangang turned his head to follow the sound, and couldn't help but look surprised when he saw the owner of the voice.

She is an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, thin and shivering, huddled in a dark corner of the alley with bare feet. She is wrapped in a tattered cotton coat and very thin inside. She has several boxes of workmanship in her arms. Rough matches.

This is the little match girl...

The girl's hands and feet were frozen and turned purple. She looked at Li Tiangang with an indifferent expression and cautiously asked with a little pleading: "Little brother, do you need a box of matches?"

What age is it now? No one has used matches for a long time. Soul guides similar to electric lamps are everywhere. Even ordinary people with little money can use their own kerosene lamps.

But perhaps because Jiu Jin was still there, Li Tiangang didn't refuse, "How much?"

A glimmer of hope appeared in the girl's originally dull eyes, and her voice trembled: "One copper soul coin per box..."

"Give me all ten copper soul coins."

The girl was stunned, "Thank you..." She looked at the little boy in front of her with red eyes, and handed him the match tremblingly.

Li Tiangang nodded, said nothing more, took the match and slowly turned around and left.

He was able to save the girl for a moment, but not for the rest of her life. Giving her ten copper soul coins was already the end of her kindness.

Li Tiangang wandered on the street for more than an hour. When he came back and passed the alley, there was no trace of the girl in the corner. She must have gone home.

After he returned to the dormitory of the college, he took a medicated bath for a while, washed himself before going to bed and fell asleep.
