Chapter 5 Caotai Team
dinner is ready.
It’s morning now, and it’s still a little early for dinner, but it’s early. In order to celebrate the “Lord”’s awakening, there’s no problem in starting the meal earlier.
The eating place is in the backyard, which is next to the room where Zheng Fan woke up.
A round table,
Seven people were sitting.
In the front position is Zheng Fan, on the left is Feng Siniang, and on the right is the blind man.
This blind man is a comic character written by A Qiu. A Qiu’s father was a public official and died in the line of duty. She has not told everyone the specific situation. It is estimated that only her boyfriend Liang Cheng knows about it. a little.
But the character "Bei" created by Aqiu in the comic "Blind Man" has an extremely bloody law enforcement model, setting up private courts to punish prisoners without any regard for humanity. The methods are also extremely cruel, and you can do whatever you want to do to vent your anger.
But in reality, the person "Bei" gives people a very peaceful and cheerful feeling, smiling and having no temper.
The seating arrangement is naturally very particular. Feng Siniang and Bei sit on either side of Zheng Fan, which at least makes the atmosphere at the dinner table less tense.
Vampire A Ming and zombie Liang Cheng were naturally sitting across from each other. According to Feng Siniang's opinion, it would be best for them to eat by squatting at the door with their rice bowls in hand. Who could show them their cold faces?
As for Xue San, he is not allowed to go on the table because he is too close to the master for fear of affecting his appetite;
Fan Li is too dull and always wants to talk to someone about cutting people's sticks. In her experience, Feng Siniang did not dare to let him get too close to her master before she was sure whether he had resistance to heavy flavors.
“Come, raise a glass and celebrate the Lord’s awakening. From today on, we have a backbone!”
Feng Siniang took the lead,
Everyone also stood up and raised their glasses,
The rest of the people followed.
After the toast, it’s time to eat.
Zheng Fan is hungry. After all, he is a person who has the courage to "end" himself. After getting through the initial shock and confusion, he now has an appetite for the food in front of him.
At the dinner table,
Fan Li was holding an extra-large rice bowl and didn't eat much. The grilled rice was delicious;
Xue San was holding a chicken drumstick and gnawing happily.
A Ming was specifically dealing with the pot of sheep blood in front of him, while Liang Cheng was chewing on the sheep bones.
Bei eats slowly and leisurely. He is the most elegant eating person among all the people.
Taking this opportunity, Feng Siniang began to introduce the situation here to Zheng Fan.
First of all,
it is naturally everyone’s appearance.
That was half a year ago.
One day half a year ago, a total of eight people appeared together on the edge of a desert.
There is naturally Zheng Fan here.
But the others were all awake, except Zheng Fan who was still in a coma.
We carried the unconscious Zheng Fan and slowly explored the surrounding area. Later, we chose this small town on the edge of the desert as our foothold.
The place where everyone is now can be regarded as an inn, but this inn has many entertainment projects. It is a bit like a modern entertainment club, where you can eat, drink, play, and sleep.
Feng Siniang is naturally in the business. Among these people, she is actually the only one with business acumen.
In this inn, Feng Siniang has a dozen girls who are specially used to receive guests.
The stage was used for performances. Xue San was responsible for dressing up as a clown, or telling stories, while Liang Cheng performed some acrobatics, crushing boulders on his chest or holding a spear against his throat.
A Ming is responsible for making wine, and the wine he makes is very famous in this small town.
Xianzi Bei set up a fortune-telling stall in front of the inn, and he could fool everyone.
As for Fan Li, he is responsible for chopping wood and doing a lot of hard work.
Therefore, the business of this inn has always been good, and in this small town, it is already considered prosperous.
Next, Feng Siniang started to scold her. She scolded that although Fan Li had to work a lot and could support three people by himself, he could eat as much as five people by himself!
Hearing this, the honest and dull Fan Li raised his head and smiled naively. He seemed a little embarrassed, but immediately lowered his head and continued to eat.
Feng Siniang started scolding Blind Bei again. In the beginning, he was able to defraud many fat sheep. The start-up capital for the business in this shop was obtained by Blind Bei's cheating. But in recent months, his customers There are fewer and fewer, but he is not in a hurry. He goes out on time all day long. He does not greet customers or think about business transformation to attract customers. He just sits leisurely at the door to bask in the sun, and then comes in on time to eat at meal time. .
Hearing this, Blind Bei smiled helplessly and said:
"Hutou City only has such a small area, only such a few people, and only two or three fat sheep. There is nothing I can do about it."
Feng Siniang glared at Blind Bei.
She couldn't count the rest of them. The wine brewed by the vampire A Ming has always been selling well. Some of the carriages and horses traveling here sometimes come here to buy wine. Xue San also works hard in his performances and storytelling. Even though Liang Cheng was unwilling, you asked him to perform acrobatics to attract guests, and he did so.
As for herself, she is manipulating everything inside and out, and the group of girls under her are a source of wealth that guarantees harvests despite droughts and floods.
Of course, Feng Siniang is also unhappy. This is probably the most miserable brothel she has ever opened in all her series. The girls under her hands are not so delicate that they can play the piano. There are no chess, calligraphy and painting people, most of them are about the same age as her, and some of them, she even calls them sister.
There is no way, Hutou City is close to the desert, a bitter cold land, the consumption level of the people here is limited, many of them come here specially for the horse teams, and there is no need for the kiln sisters to know how to play, play and sing.
For Feng Siniang, this is equivalent to asking a Michelin chef to go to a roadside stall to cook barbecue... Career happiness is simply appallingly low.
However,
when he heard this,
Zheng Fan, who had already filled up a lot of food, had to put down his chopsticks,
There was one thing that
made him extremely confused.
Looking around the entire table,
Vampire A Ming, Blind Bei, Fan Li, Xue San, Liang Cheng, plus This Feng Siniang, logically speaking, should be a demon-like figure. Why are they all now living in this small town and making a living as ordinary people?
This seems to be extremely inconsistent with their character design and style of painting.
So, Zheng Fan asked:
"Have you been here for the past six months, making money and living?"
Hearing this,
Fan Li stopped picking up Rice,
Xue San bit the chicken leg,
A Ming put down his chopsticks,
Liang Cheng frowned and looked at the bones,
Feng Siniang also stopped talking,
Finally,
It was Blind Bei who gave out a bitter smile,
Said:
"Lord, since the first day we woke up, we have discovered something..."
"What is it?"
"Then That is, we have all become ordinary people."
"..." Zheng Fan.
Ordinary...ordinary people?
This answer and this reality were completely unexpected by Zheng Fan.
However, after calming down and thinking about it, I suddenly felt that it was so reasonable.
Vampire A Ming is already eating blood, zombie Liang Cheng is gnawing on bones, a bunch of demons are actually living together in this small town to make money to support their families...
How could they accept this life if they hadn't lost their power?
Even if you are experiencing life, you can’t experience it for half a year, right?
There is good news, that is, after hearing them say that he had become an ordinary person, Zheng Fan's inner pressure was actually a lot less.
Although a toothless tiger can still slap itself to death, it is at least less scary than before, right?
Moreover, although I don’t know why, they all call themselves “Lord”, which seems to consider themselves the master, but if they really want to control these demons in their heyday, they may still be able to control them. I'm really not that brave.
It seemed that this topic was a bit revealing, and the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly dropped a lot.
Zheng Fan took a deep breath and then looked at Feng Siniang sitting next to him. There was something he had wanted to ask for a long time but had been holding back until now.
"Magic Pill, where is it?"
"Magic Pill" is the protagonist in Zheng Fan's own comics, a ferocious baby boy with an innate power Strong resentment.
To put it bluntly, when it comes to characterization, horror atmosphere, and plot excitement, no one else in the studio can really compete with me. It can also be said that "Magic Pill" This comic is the most extreme of all the comics produced by the studio.
Also with the character of Magic Pill, he is also the most terrifying one among the seven demon kings.
But no matter what, the magic pill was drawn by myself after all.
The six people here, although I have added several paintings to their stories in the previous three years, after all, they are other people's stories and other people's characters.
Only the magic pill is your own.
Creators often have a sense of immediateness about their works, similar to watching a child. It is really not an exaggeration at all to say that Magic Pill is Zheng Fan's son.
If the magic pill was here, Zheng Fan would feel much more at ease.
It's like an ancient general fighting a war. If you don't have direct descendants under your command, how can you be safe?
However,
this question made Feng Siniang a little embarrassed, as if she didn’t know how to answer.
Next to him, A Ming, who was sitting there, stood up, left his seat and entered the room. Soon, he walked in with a box in his arms.
Putting the box on the table in front of Zheng Fan, A Ming said coldly:
"He's inside."
"Huh?"
Zheng Fan stretched out his hand in surprise and opened the box.
Originally, Zheng Fan thought that something had happened to the magic pill and that it contained his head because he was a baby. Although the box was a bit small, it seemed to be enough to hold his head.
But after opening the box,
It was found that there was just a black stone in the box.
“This is... the magic pill?”
Feng Siniang glanced at the stones in the box jealously and said:
“My lord, he said he There is no physical body, no need to eat, no need to drink water, so no need to work, so I sealed myself in this stone." (End of Chapter)
