Chapter 413 Familiar taste and unacceptable reality (two chapters in one)
“Da da da…”
The horse’s hooves stepped on the road paved with bluestones, making a series of crisp sounds. There are many construction sites under construction on both sides of the street.
On a scorching afternoon, the construction workers who had had lunch were busy sweating under the sun under the urging of their foreman.
“Xu.”
The coachman pulled the reins in his hand, and the running horse stopped with understanding.
"Sir, we've arrived."
Lin Li got off the carriage, took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket, took out two and handed them to the driver.
The coachman who received the fare smiled, stuffed the fare into his pocket, and drove the carriage away.
Lin Li took his eyes away from the departing carriage and turned to look at the construction site under construction across the street.
Not seen for a few days, the villas being built at the construction site across the street are almost topping out.
From this point of view, the construction efficiency of these construction workers in Dongwu City is no lower than that of those construction workers with professional construction equipment on Blue Star.
As time goes by, the area where Lin Li is located has been planned by the Dongwu City government to build a villa-style residential area that has become very popular in recent years. More and more houses will be completed.
After the residence is completed and more residents move in, various subsequent infrastructure facilities will follow.
At that time, this area, which becomes very deserted after the sun goes down, will become more and more lively.
According to the experience of another world, when this place becomes lively, the price of houses will also rise.
“According to the current development trend, the value of the villa I bought will soon appreciate.
If the owner who is selling the house is not in a hurry to use money, at that price, I would There's no way I can get a house in this area. , not to mention that the house also comes with interior decoration and various furniture."
Lin Li looked at the villa that was about to be completed across the street, his thoughts wandering until a few birds passed over his head and made a harsh sound. The sound of chirping brought him back to his senses.
“The calls of these birds are really harsh!” Lin Li muttered as he looked up at the unknown birds flying away.
Then, he turned around and came to the door of his villa. With a thought in his mind, a bunch of keys appeared out of thin air in his hand.
"Click."
Open the door of the villa, enter the courtyard, step on the cobblestone path, and walk straight to the quiet villa in the distance.
Walking on the cobblestone path, Lin Li glanced around. There was a clothes drying pole on the grass next to the villa, and some brightly colored things caught his eye.
“Beltband?!!!”
There were some clothes hanging on the clothes drying pole, and one piece of bright red clothes was particularly conspicuous, swaying gently with the occasional wind.
This kind of clothing, which was extremely rare on Blue Star, made Lin Li stunned for a moment and stopped subconsciously.
"Um..."
You don't need to think about it to know that the clothes hanging on the clothes drying pole belong to Qin Muqing. Although I took a few more glances out of curiosity, it will inevitably give people a look. It feels like staring at someone else's underwear hanging out to dry.
Lin Li quickly looked away, muttering in his mouth, "The embroidery looks like mandarin ducks", while continuing to move forward.
"Click."
The solid wood door at the entrance made a noise. Lin Li opened the door and walked into the room. He closed the door and took a bunch of keys back to the mysterious island.
The house was quiet without any noise. Lin Li went to the living room on the first floor and looked around. No one was seen, so he shouted, "Qin Muqing."
The voice was in The room echoed, but no one responded to Lin Li's call.
"Isn't he at home? Or is he in the bedroom on the second floor and didn't hear me."
If Lin Li hadn't seen those clothes on the clothes drying pole just now, he might have wondered if Qin Muqing had left.
Just as he was about to go to Qin Muqing's bedroom on the second floor to see if anyone was in the room, there was a noise at the entrance.
The sound of opening the door sounded, and Lin Li left the living room and walked towards the entrance.
Her hair was tied up high and she was wearing a simple light gray dress.
The style of skirt is a very common one on the street. Coupled with the ordinary appearance, when Qin Muqing walks on the street, basically no one will pay attention to him.
Well... I can't say that no one would pay attention to her.
Although Qin Muqing's appearance at the moment is unremarkable and not attractive at all, she has a very good figure. Even if the light gray dress she is wearing is very loose, it still cannot cover her distinct body curves. .
"Mr. Lin!!!" The slim Qin Muqing, holding a vegetable basket in her hand, greeted Lin Li in surprise.
"Have you gone out to buy vegetables?" Lin Li looked at the vegetable basket Qin Muqing was carrying. There were vegetables, eggs, and meat.
“Well, Sister Zhang, who sells box lunches, told me that a new vegetable shop has opened at the intersection not far from our home.
A new store has opened, and there are discounts if you go to the store to buy food these days. I thought there wasn’t much food left at home, so I went to buy some. "Qin Muqing said happily.
The reason why she is so happy is because the vegetable market nearby has not been built yet.
Before, you had to walk a long way to buy vegetables, but now a food market has opened at the intersection It's a small vegetable shop. If she wants to buy vegetables in the future, she won't have to go far, which will be much more convenient.
Lin Li nodded, Qin Mu. The small vegetable shop Qing mentioned was one he passed by on his way back by carriage. The shop was a two-story bungalow, covering an area of more than 60 square meters. There were many customers buying vegetables in the shop.
He was still thinking that he had only been away for a few days, and there was such a prosperous shop near his home.
There should be more and more small shops like this opening in the future. At that time, Qin Muqing was buying vegetables in the store.
"Take this." Lin Li raised his right hand, and a small paper bag appeared in his hand out of thin air, and then he said to Qin Muqing.
"What is this?" Qin Muqing took the small paper bag handed over by Lin Li and asked curiously.
When Lin Li was riding in the carriage before, he packed up a large bag of pastries given by Zhu Xinru, "It's pastries. I went to a friend's house in the morning and she gave me some pastries made by the pastry chef at home. The taste is It's very good. You can try it later."
"It's a pastry!" Qin Muqing's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.
In the past, when she was at home, she would eat cakes and drink tea alone in the pavilion in the garden in the afternoon, enjoying her own leisure time.
Since I left home, I have encountered many unfortunate things along the way. Of course, I have never eaten cakes or anything else.
No matter what world they are from, girls all like sweet pastries... Lin Li thought to himself when he saw Qin Muqing's eyes shining brightly.
"Mr. Lin, let's eat together! I'll make a pot of tea..." Qin Muqing said. She couldn't wait to taste the pastries given by Lin Li.
"I've already eaten, go ahead and eat...I'm going upstairs to take a lunch break. If you have nothing to do, don't disturb me," Lin Li said.
Tonight he is going to find trouble with the Red Blood Gang. Before taking action, he must take a good rest, recuperate his energy, and use his best condition to give the other party a more important blow than before. blow, striving to completely destroy their confidence this time.
"Okay." Qin Muqing nodded.
When Lin Li went upstairs, she quickly carried the vegetable basket to the kitchen. After a while, she came to the living room with a pot of brewed tea.
Sit down on the sofa, take a teacup from the tea tray, pour yourself a cup of tea, and then open the small paper bag Lin Li gave her.
"Huh?!!!"
Qin Muqing opened the small paper bag and looked at the exquisite pastries in the bag, with a surprised expression on her plain face.
He reached out and took out a piece of pastry from the small paper bag and looked at the exquisite patterns on it. It would take a lot of effort for ordinary people to make such patterns on the pastry.
For ordinary pastry chefs, taste is the most important thing. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive to make the surface pattern, and the gain outweighs the gain. There is no need to do such a thing, as long as it looks passable.
However, if the pastry chef is employed by a wealthy family and exclusively serves the owner, this is another matter. The appearance and taste of the pastry made by the pastry chef must satisfy the owner.
Qin Muqing opened her red lips slightly, biting down a small piece of pastry with her white teeth, savoring it carefully. The sweet taste made her narrow her eyes in happiness.
"The pastry chef who made this pastry must have learned the art at the 'Thyme Pastry Shop' in the capital.
And this pastry chef probably awakened some kind of supernatural power. He can only make pastries. Only by using supernatural powers in the process can the patterns on the cakes be made so beautiful, and the patterns on each piece of cake are exactly the same..."
Qin Muqing took a bite of the cakes given by Lin Li, and a familiar taste immediately came over her. Come to mind.
"This friend of Mr. Lin's family has a pastry chef who studied at the Thyme Pastry Shop in Beijing. At least he belongs to a wealthy family..."
While Qin Muqing was eating cakes with a happy expression on her face, Lin Li was already lying down on the bed in the bedroom on the third floor.
He was thinking about which direction to attack the Red Blood Gang from tonight, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.
While he was sleeping, in another world, due to his influence, someone stepped into the dangerous wilderness.
…………
Blue Star.
Heading from the bustling city center to the inaccessible wilderness, the further away from the human life area, the more lush the vegetation on the road becomes, and at the same time, the chirping of cicadas becomes more and more intensive.
“I see, I see, I see…”
“Huh…”
The noisy chirping of cicadas stopped due to a sudden strong wind. , this strong wind was like a big hand, covering their mouths.
But after the wind passed, the cicadas that had been quiet for a while immediately started chirping again and again.
Wang Hao drove the car to the boundary between the safe zone for human activities and the wilderness.
“Click.”
After the car stopped, he unbuckled his seat belt, opened the door and got out of the car.
I looked around and saw no one. If it weren't for the constant chirping of cicadas on the trees, this place would definitely be quiet and scary.
Take out your mobile phone from your pocket, open the coordinate positioning software, and follow the prompts of the software on your mobile phone to follow the straight ahead to reach your destination.
It is quite dangerous to enter the wilderness alone, but Wang Hao's personal strength is quite strong, so he does not dare to enter the wilderness alone.
And the location of the signal sent by Liu Menglong's mobile phone is not very far from the safe zone. With his strength, as long as he does not go deep into the wilderness, his life will basically not be in danger.
In order to find out the whereabouts of his friend as soon as possible, Wang Hao did not hesitate too much. He stepped forward and crossed the boundary between the safe zone and the wilderness.
"Rust, rustle..."
Pushing aside the thick grass that was as tall as one person in front of him, Wang Hao walked in, walked forward quickly, and started running, branches and leaves colliding with his body, in the thick grass There were bursts of sparse sounds.
The sky is clear, the sun is not blocked, and the hot sunlight shines fiercely on the earth.
The vegetation, which was a little listless due to the scorching sun, survived tenaciously. If they were conscious, they would definitely hope that the sun would set earlier.
Because there were two people with second-level peak cultivation who fought in this area before, all the alien beasts living in this area fled.
For a period of time, the escaped alien beasts did not dare to return to this area to live, so Wang Hao did not encounter any harassment from the alien beasts along the way.
Although it was a good thing that we were not disturbed by strange animals along the way, but for Wang Hao, who has extensive experience in wild survival, he felt that this was not a good thing.
"Strange? Why didn't I encounter a single strange beast along the way, not even the first-stage strange beast?!!!"
Because the journey was smooth, the king who entered the wilderness Howe arrived at his destination earlier than he expected.
"It's in this area." Wang Hao looked at the software on his phone showing that he had arrived at his destination, so he put his phone away and began to search the area in front of him.
Not far ahead is a large swamp, and the surrounding terrain is very flat. Such a place is often a drinking spot for many strange animals in the wilderness.
For humans, drinking places for alien animals are very dangerous. Under normal circumstances, such places are designated as areas not to be approached.
Of course, if your own strength is strong enough, you can also break into this kind of watering place for strange animals that is relatively close to the safe zone.
However, the Alien Hunters Guild has given a clear warning, and there is no need to take this risk.
Wang Hao searched carefully next to the swamp for more than twenty minutes, but still found nothing.
His temper was already very irritable, and with the weather so hot now, he couldn't help but curse.
And just when his patience was about to be worn out, he saw a flash of white appearing in the distance.
The vegetation in the wilderness is lush and lush. At first glance, it is all green. Now suddenly a touch of white appears. In such an environment, it is difficult not to attract attention.
"Tap, step, step..."
Wang Hao stepped forward quickly. When he came to the white thing and saw clearly the appearance of the thing in front of him, the look on his face His expressions all froze, and he muttered to himself.
“No, it’s impossible, this, this is definitely not him...”
