Chapter 268 38: Yutou Town
Restaurant private room.
The little fox buried his head in eating the lamb chops, beef and snacks in front of him.
“Eat, just eat, if it’s enough, I’ll ask someone to add more if it’s not enough.” Jennifer said to the side a little embarrassed.
The fox's ears twitched, and he carefully raised his green eyes slightly, but he was still a little scared and did not dare to look at her. He only dared to look at Ye Jie on the other side.
"She is sister Jennifer. You don't have to be afraid of her. It was just a misunderstanding before. Besides, she didn't do anything to you." Ye Jie comforted her softly.
Jennifer smiled with a guilty conscience. She really hadn’t done anything yet, mainly because she didn’t have time.
She discovered this little fox when she revisited her old hometown in Bacheng. She visited all the places Bai Shihang took her to before, and then she accidentally met this girl on the street and displayed her extraordinary powers. With his strength, he stopped a car that lost control and hit passers-by.
Originally, the little fox was very cautious and did not stop after rescuing people. She quickly ran away, but she had no choice but to be targeted by Jennifer. The fox with only strange strength and rigid body was no opponent, so she was naturally caught. .
Because she was exposed to save people, even if it was later revealed that she was not a human being, Jennifer did not want to use excessive means to ask her origins.
The purpose of calling Ye Jie back was to see if she had any milder methods.
Unexpectedly, the two of them were old friends, which was a huge departure.
“I, I still want to eat steamed buns.” The fox said coquettishly, “The ones stuffed with coriander!”
What the hell? Jennifer blinked twice and looked at Ye Jie inexplicably.
Ye Jie seemed to remember something and smiled: "That was originally used by the teacher as a punishment, but I didn't expect that Hu Liu liked to eat it so much, so he never did it again."
"I tried making it myself, but I couldn't make it taste the way the teacher gave me." Speaking of his favorite food, the fox's tail waggled.
Okay, Jennifer used her privilege and called the Holy See.
"Okay, I understand, Lady Saint, the buns stuffed with coriander, right? I'll arrange for someone to prepare them."
Hung up the phone, this outsider seemed to have a high position. The cardinal immediately put down what he was doing and hurriedly contacted chefs all over the city.
With one phone call, more than a dozen senior chefs were thrown into a frenzy of busyness. Soon, the freshly baked buns would be delivered to Bacheng on a special plane.
"After Sister Ye Jie left, the teacher continued to teach us about human life and culture for a period of time. Finally, he left a sum of money and left without leaving any orders. We thought that sister, you were performing some task for the teacher, so Even though I knew you were in Mocheng, I didn't bother you." After eating until he was full, Hu Liu started to talk about his experiences in the past few years.
“Hu Yi wanted to stay with the teacher, so he started looking for teachers all over the world.”
“Hu Er and Hu San felt that we were never from this world. Humans or extraordinary people have discovered the existence, and they may be used for research, so based on the teacher's words, they only wanted to find suitable treasures and return to the original world. Later, Fox Four also joined them and became mysterious. , and gradually lost contact.”
“Fox Wu, like me, feels that there is nothing wrong with living here. Anyway, he didn’t have a good life in the original world, and he didn’t leave any good memories. "It's better to start a new life here. After all, we have the mask left by the teacher. If we are careful, we should still be able to avoid being discovered." As he said that, Hu Liu looked at Jennifer silently.
Jennifer, who listened with rapt attention, was helpless: "I bumped into you by chance. If you encounter something like this in the future, try not to act so obviously. Even if you push a passerby aside, I won't doubt you. But you just lifted the car, it’s hard for me not to doubt you.”
Hearing this, Hu Liu also blushed.
Ye Jie found that there was someone missing from Hu Liu's mouth.
"Hu Qi? I don't know." Hu Liu shook his head, "This guy has always been heartless. Three days after the teacher left, she left a note saying that the world is very big and she wanted to see it. He ran away. I heard that Hu Yi met her once in South America. She has always been the most powerful and cunning one among the seven of us. Sister, you don’t have to worry about her."
Strictly speaking. , Ye Jie is the eighth experimental subject in that batch, she should be the younger sister, but because of her human identity, Bai Shihang did not give her the number of the eight foxes, but a name, a few unknown foxes Just call her sister.
Ye Jie was a little disappointed when he didn't get the latest news from his teacher, but it was already a surprise to meet his old friend again.
"The coriander buns are here, I'll go get them." After answering the phone, Jennifer walked out.
Soon, she came back with several exquisite wooden boxes, which contained drawers of coriander buns.
Hu Liu tasted one, and his eyes lit up. Before he could swallow it completely, he said impatiently: "It's a little worse than the teacher's, but it's much more delicious than what I made! Sister wants it Want to try it?”
Ye Jie politely refused, she knew what this thing tasted like.
Jennifer was a little curious and tasted one: "It's not bad!"
"Really?! Really?!" Hu Liu was quite excited about meeting a close friend. The previous unhappiness suddenly became a thing of the past, and he began to talk to Jennifer about his ambitious plan to grow coriander all over the world.
When the two of them were almost finished eating, Ye Jie took the initiative to invite: "Hu Liu, I will go to Tokyo next. If there is nothing else, why don't you come with me? You can also call Hu Wu. "
"That's it, okay, I haven't been to Tokyo yet, but Fox Five only comes out for a few months a year. At this time, he is probably living in some deep mountains and old forests with few human traces. I can't contact him." Hu Liu explained, shaking his head.
Ye Jie is not too pushy. It is good to have Hu Liu as a companion. As for the other partners, he can only wait for fate. At least he has not heard any bad news about them.
“Let’s take a day off and leave for Tokyo the day after tomorrow. Although the Supreme Saint didn’t urge her, I think she should be almost ready. I just don’t know what serious thing happened. , so many forces need to gather together to hold the third anti-demon joint meeting." Jennifer stretched, and the surge made Hu Liu, who was still eating, a little sluggish.
"Hopefully, things won't be too bad."
"It seems that things have reached the worst point."
Northern Territory of South Australia.
It is winter, but since it is located north of the Tropic of Cancer and close to the equator, according to common sense, it will not be that cold even in winter.
But it’s not common sense now, especially in recent years.
A broken-down car that had been handed over by unknown owners completely stalled in the sudden snowstorm, and no matter how hard the driver tried, he couldn't get it to start again.
As the heating disappeared, the cold quickly penetrated into the interior of the car, causing the young couple in the car to collapse and cry.
Terry gave up the plan of continuing to start, looked at his girlfriend beside him with a stiff smile, and spoke cautiously.
"Anna, I have good news and bad news."
"I'm not blind. The bad news is that the car is completely totaled, right? God, I shouldn't have agreed to this. A road trip! This car is older than me! What should I do now? Hell, there’s no signal. You said it won’t snow here! ”
Anna, who was extremely anxious, fired a burst of firepower, leaving Terry speechless.
"Damn it, why doesn't there seem to be a passing car here? What road did you choose?" Anna couldn't stop complaining.
“I just saw a road sign showing that you can go to Newland Bay, although it’s not on the map. But it’s very close to the coast, and there’s a town there. Maybe we can go over there and see if anyone can. Repairing the car?”
Terry was looking for the nearest residential area on the offline map he had downloaded before, and finally found one.
"It's very close, how close?" Anna dug out her and Terry's thick clothes and quickly put them on, "I also brought five sets of bikinis, and I probably won't need them now."
"Less than twenty kilometers."
When Anna heard this, she kept her eyes open, took a deep breath slowly, and looked around through the car window.
This is a savanna climate, with some weeds that she can't name scattered here and there. Just because there is no human habitation, not even a road billboard, it makes people feel extremely desolate. Now It was even buried by the gradually covering snowflakes. It was really a hell of a tropical place, and a blizzard was coming. "I can't even see a kangaroo, so it seems to be quite remote." Anna is not a fool. She has already vented her emotions just now. It will not be easy for anyone if she continues to complain like this, so she can only sigh, "Twenty kilometers away we can't We can’t walk through. In this weather, it’s better to stay here and wait to see if there are any passing cars or anything.”
Terry was silent for a while, and he also felt that this wind and snow It probably wouldn't last long. They were still in the car, which was a kind of shelter.
It's just that the snowstorm was completely beyond their expectations. After more than two hours, not only did it not get smaller, but it became more violent. Some gravel flew around and cracked the car glass. It didn't seem to take long. It will be broken directly, and then the cold wind will pour in, and the two of them really won't be able to hold on for long.
"No way, the car can't stay, we have to leave right away." Terry packed up his things nervously.
Anna shut her mouth, did not hold back, and helped pack some important items.
Opening the car door and getting used to the cold, Terry determined the direction according to the compass, held his girlfriend's hand tightly, and the two of them walked with difficulty on the snowy road.
The wind was howling, and Terry took out his mobile phone from time to time to observe the signal as he walked.
"Hoho. Terry, how far have we gone?"
"Well it should be five kilometers already."
"Only five kilometers!!"
Anna A moment of dizziness.
“Dear, if I can’t go out, remember to have my ashes painted into a portrait, and then hang me in front of your bed. I will make you fuck with others every time. You will always think of me when you visit.”
"."
Beep beep!
"Is it my imagination? It seems like my hearse is urging me up."
"Hey!! Help! Help! We need help!"
Special Li turned back as if he had seen something incredible, and waved to the back like crazy. This action made the dazed Anna suddenly wake up, and realized that she had encountered a passing car, and she started shouting and waving randomly.
Behind them, a minivan slowly slowed down and was even equipped with a snow shovel. It scooped up a pile of snow and stopped in front of them.
The two hurried to the cab and saw a middle-aged man with a sinister face sticking his head out of the car window. Suddenly, a strong smell of fish mixed with the smell of tobacco wafted out. , even the cold wind couldn't blow away at once.
"That car just now belonged to you?" Spewing out a puff of smoke, the man pointed to the back and spoke proactively.
"Yes, uncle, our car broke down, and the snow and wind kept coming. I saw there was a small town nearby, so I wanted to go there to see if anyone could repair the car, and to get away. This damn weather." Terry managed to maintain his composure, shuddering and alert while dealing.
"You are talking about Yutou Town, I am from that town. There are people who know how to repair cars, but they may not have the parts." The man's eyes flickered between the two of them, "If you are not afraid of me , I can take you to Yutou Town.”
"Thank you very much." After thinking for a few seconds, Terry agreed. Now they had no choice at all. They just hoped that the driver was not the murderous maniac in those terrible Ami movies.
The car may also take people on board, so it is so crowded that it can seat four people including the driver.
"Uncle, is your car for delivery?" After getting in the car, there was a heater in the car, and Anna suddenly became more energetic, but she felt a little uncomfortable smelling the pungent fishy smell.
Throwing away the cigarette, the man drank most of the bottle of water without looking back: "Well, I am a fisherman in the town, and I also do some business by the way. I sell the fish in the town to nearby towns that are not close to the sea. . ”
“You guys look like adults.”
"Uh, we are"
After some conversation, the two introduced that they came all the way from Queensland.
“You shouldn’t take this road. We locals are walking here. If you follow the road to the end, you will find an abandoned gold mining town. In my memory , there should be no one living inside, but there have been rumors that it is haunted, maybe it is occupied by a group of criminals. "
Although the man has a rough face, you can tell it when you talk. He is still quite talkative, giving people the impression that he is easy to get along with, without any harshness.
The two slowly let down their guard and learned that the man was called Hyman and some interesting local facts.
Suddenly, Heyman's expression became serious and he slowly stopped the car. Except for the faint wind and snow, the surroundings were unusually quiet.
"Uncle Heyman, what are you doing?" Terry asked carefully.
"Haha, didn't I say that the gold mining town may have been occupied by some gangs, and now they are planning on me? You guys wait in the car, don't get out of the car, I Go get something from the back and teach those reckless guys a lesson. "
Heyman smiled disdainfully, gave them a few words, and got out of the car neatly, leaving the two of them looking at each other.
"How did he see it?" Anna subconsciously lowered her voice and asked curiously, even though it was difficult to see the road outside.
Terry shook his head, feeling something was weird.
There was a sound of opening the cargo box behind the car. It should have been opened by Heiman.
Soon, after a silent shaking, the car returned to silence.
It wasn't until a few minutes passed that they could faintly hear strange sounds under the wind and snow.
It looks like an explosion and the cry of whales and dolphins. It is too messy to distinguish.
Six or seven minutes passed, and there were waves of shaking in the car again. Then, with the two of them in fear, the driver's door was suddenly opened, and a rather embarrassed Heyman appeared in front of them.
"Ahem, it's okay, everything has been resolved. If you dare to attack our Yutou Town, you are simply desperate." Heyman got into the car, closed the door, opened the water bottle, and took a few sips of water.
"Uncle Heyman, are you okay? I have some bandages here." Terry asked a little worriedly, looking at Heyman's tattered clothes and the charred patches of skin.
"It's okay, just a flesh wound." Heyman waved his hand, and Terry could only hold back his words.
The truck continued to drive, and I don’t know how Heiman relied on to know the way.
"Sit tight."
Driving to a certain section of the road, Heyman suddenly spoke, then turned the steering wheel, and the truck drove out of the dilapidated road and entered a road that may have been formed by long-term crushing. The dirt road was a little bumpy.
The smell was already unpleasant, and the car was still shaking. Anna quickly covered her mouth, for fear that she would not be able to hold back and squirt out.
"Uncle Heyman, did something fall over in your container?" Terry seemed to hear something coming from behind.
Hayman said without changing his expression: "It's just some empty baskets. They may not have been put away just now, so it won't be a problem."
After a while, they finally saw the outline of a small town.
Yutou Town has arrived.
