Fairy Desire

Chapter 071 The past is like a dream

Meng Xiang walked into a very simple shop, and the dishes he ordered were also very simple, a plate of sauced beef, a plate of salted duck, a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks, and a pot of ordinary shochu.

While eating, Yan Shi found that Meng Xiang was a little out of his mind. He ate very little food and hardly drank any wine. From time to time, he cast his gaze across the street, and his gaze was very strange, at least he had never seen it from his eyes.

What was it that caught his eye?Yan Shi followed Meng Xiang's gaze and looked over.He quickly saw clearly, but he quickly shook his head, denying his own guess.

The place Meng Xiang looked at was a small noodle restaurant that was even simpler than the restaurant they were in.The main body of the noodle shop is only half of the house. If it is not for a shed built outside, I am afraid that there will not be enough room for two tables.

The noodle shop is not only small in size, but also very simple in staff, there is only one person inside and out, a girl about ten or twenty years old.The figure and face shape are not bad, coupled with youthful vigor, it can also attract the attention of some people.But the gods treated her unfairly, adding a birthmark to her pretty face.

The birthmark was purple and reddish, with a little bit of black. It was so big that it almost covered half of her right cheek, so she couldn't cover it with her hair.I don't know if it's because the birthmark on her cheek is too scary. There are many people passing through the narrow street, but not many people go to her place to eat noodles.

When he saw the girl with the birthmark for the first time, Yan Shi once thought that she was the one who attracted Meng Xiang's attention, because he found that Meng Xiang's eyes had been following her.But he quickly dismissed the idea.

In the more than three years in Fengshu Town, because Meng Xiang has won the No. 1 in the hunting competition in Fengshu Town and the hunting competition between villages and towns once every ten years, the beautiful girls and daughter-in-laws in the town all saw him. His eyes were shining, and his face was flushed.He believes that as long as he wants, even if he just hooks his fingers, or throws a wink as a hint, they will fuck him.

However, for more than three years, he has never seen him show even the slightest interest in any woman.Not to mention, the girl who runs the noodle shop has an ugly birthmark. Even if she doesn't have a birthmark, she may not be as beautiful as those women in Fengshu Town who admire Meng Xiang. Xiang has such a big attraction.

Soon, he noticed that Meng Xiang had withdrawn his gaze and stopped looking at the girl. He finally confirmed his guess that it wasn't the girl who attracted his attention at all, it must be something else that he hadn't noticed.But he couldn't see Meng Xiang's heart, otherwise he would be shocked.

The girl who opened the small noodle restaurant is called Zhao Xuezhu, and she was one of the two most important people to Meng Xiang in her previous life. One was the old man who rescued him from the Nulong River and raised him. He gave him life; Zhao Xuezhu, she made him understand the meaning of life.

The encounter between Meng Xiang and Zhao Xuezhu was actually quite accidental.In his previous life, because he had no identity certificate, he was made things difficult by the guards when he entered Ironwood City. A yellow-browed officer with many bones.His name is Huang Shulang.

In his previous life, he naturally didn't have the strength he has now. Let alone attacking Huang Shulang, he didn't even dare to say a word of complaint. The only thing he could do was to beg bitterly.But Huang Shulang's heart seemed to be made of iron and stone, no matter how much he begged, he would not be moved at all.

It was about half an hour later that he realized the real reason why Huang Shulang made things difficult for him. He took a fancy to the money he was carrying.At that time, he had neither a storage bracelet nor a silver ticket. Although five hundred silver was not too much, and he hid it in his clothes, he couldn't hide from the poisonous eyes of Huang Shulang, who had seen countless people.

According to the regulations, it was also to find some cheap labor to do some dirty work. People who came to Ironwood City could enter the city even if they did not have an ID card, as long as they paid a fee of ten taels of silver to enter the city.

If they can make significant contributions to Ironwood City during their lifetime, they can obtain the identity of Ironwood City and become residents of Ironwood City, enjoying the same treatment as the original residents of Ironwood City.

Of course, there are very, very few people who can make significant contributions to Ironwood City and obtain the permission of the city lord, but it is this extremely small probability that has attracted countless people to Ironwood City.

Before Meng Xiang came to Ironwood City, he did his homework. He inquired a lot about Ironwood City from the guys in the caravan he followed, so he also knew the greed of the city guards.

After knowing Huang Shulang's true intentions, although Meng Xiang was reluctant to give up, he still reluctantly took out another 50 taels of silver, hoping that he would give him a convenience.But he still underestimated Huang Shulang's greed, and was still not satisfied after getting 60 taels of silver one after another, so he just held him and refused to let him go.

After a long time, Huang Shulang saw that he was not interested, so he simply started to rob. Naturally, Meng Xiang was unwilling, because he already knew from the caravan guy that it is difficult to move an inch in Ironwood City without money.So he got entangled with Huang Shulang and his men.

Although in the three years in Maple Town, in order to hunt more and more valuable prey, he exercised hard and made his body much stronger, but it is impossible for him to be the opponent of those wolf-like defenders. Seeing that the money in the baggage was about to be robbed, things suddenly turned around.

Of course, the so-called turning point was just his thought at the time. In fact, not only was it not a turning point, but it was a pusher that pushed him further into the abyss.

Li Yaoting brought his guards to the west city gate to inspect the situation.Meng Xiang took him as hope, rushed to him, and told Huang Shulang what he had done, hoping that he could uphold justice for him.

At that time, Li Yaoting made a very fair appearance, and attracted Huang Shulang and the soldiers who did the work to inquire about the situation.However, before Huang Shulang could finish his sentence, he decided that he was the one who attacked the guarding soldiers first, and then falsely accused others.

Next, he asked Huang Shulang and others to beat him severely, and then took all the money in his bag as a so-called fine.If he hadn't hidden twenty pieces of silver in his boots, he would have been almost penniless.Fortunately, he finally entered Ironwood City and found a doctor to heal his wounds, otherwise he would have died outside Ironwood City.

It seems that Meng Xiang's misfortune is not over yet. The doctor he found was very dark-hearted, and he simply bandaged him, made him take a hard and bitter pill, and took away his last 20 taels of silver 18 of the two.

In the following time, Meng Xiang went to various places to look for job opportunities during the day, but since he did not have an identity certificate, he was required to pay a deposit in those places, ranging from a dozen or 20 taels to hundreds of taels. When it comes to two taels of silver, you can't afford the deposit at all, so naturally you can't get a job opportunity.

At night, it was even worse for him. He almost never had a good night's sleep, and sometimes he had to change several places in one night.Because he didn't starve to death in order to eat, he didn't want to spend his meager money in a hotel, and even if he was willing to stay in a hotel, people might not be willing to accept him, a person of unknown origin.

In this case, he can only find a place to sleep outside, but some good places, such as uninhabited dilapidated houses, are occupied by other homeless people, and he can't get in at all. He will be beaten severely, so he can only wander around, but wandering on the street at night is also a very dangerous thing.

The troops in charge of security in Ironwood City are called urban management, and they can be seen no matter it is day or night.The people in Ironwood City, whether they were outsiders or local residents, saw them like a mouse seeing a cat. They avoided them because they were ruthless and would easily injure or kill people in the process of enforcing the law.

When it comes to the people who are most afraid of urban management, it is the homeless people like Meng Xiang who have no status.Especially at night, once they caught them, they would beat them hard, and many people were beaten to death like this.

If they are lucky enough to survive, there is no need to be happy, because their end may not be better than those who died, and they will be thrown out of the city without mercy by the city management.But outside the city, which is full of dangers, and with serious injuries, almost the only fate is to be eaten by all kinds of ferocious and ferocious beasts looking for food.Those who were lucky enough not to die at that time generally did not survive for a long time, and the only difference was that they died sooner or later.

He lingered in panic all day long for a month and a half. Although Meng Xiang had tried his best to lower the standard of food, it was not really a standard of food, as long as he did not starve to death. The two taels of silver are still almost spent.

At this time, he had not yet found a job, and the loss of money meant that he was not far from starving to death.Meng Xiang was really desperate.It's not that he hasn't thought about leaving Ironwood City, but no one is willing to take him.With his own ability, let alone returning to Maple Town, which is two thousand miles away, he would probably be eaten by ferocious beasts if he left Ironwood City within twenty miles.

At that time, Meng Xiang only had less than ten big coins in his hand, and he couldn't even buy a steamed bun, but he hadn't eaten for five days, his eyes turned black, and his legs were shaking. If he didn't eat any more, he might have a head Fall down and never wake up again.Finally, after some observation, he entered a small noodle restaurant, which was opened by Zhao Xuezhu.

The reason why Meng Xiang chose Zhao Xuezhu's small noodle restaurant was actually not for any other reason, it was entirely because Zhao Xuezhu was the only one in the entire noodle restaurant, and he planned to eat the overlord's meal.After Zhao Xuezhu, a girl's family found that he had no money to pay the bills, even if they beat him, he would not suffer too much harm.

However, at that time, Meng Xiang didn't think that it was because of that seemingly absurd choice that he and her would form a lifelong bond.
