I, Zhongli, Wander the World

No matter how chaotic the world is, the lives of ordinary people in Yokohama must go on.

Although the Yokohama Commercial Street has inevitably declined under the influence of the war, there are still several shops stubbornly opening their doors to support the daily needs of ordinary residents living in Yokohama.

Zhongyuan Zhongya, who was nine years old, stood with Zhong Li in front of a shop selling tea sets.

Zhong Li held a teacup in each of his left and right hands, and said slowly: "This white porcelain cup is soft and delicate to the touch, with almost no flaws in its shape, and the patterns on the wall of the cup are like heaven, so it is obviously a rare quality product; and this celadon cup Although it is not as delicate as the former, the design and performance of the pattern are better, and it can also be called precious."

With a smile on his face, the owner said attentively: "Guest, you are really unique. These two sets of tea sets are from the hands of masters across the sea. They are rare and excellent products in our shop. What do you want? set?"

Zhong Li thought for a while, "I want all of it..."

"No, you don't want it." Zhongyuan Zhong also cut off Zhong Li's words with honorifics, "please wrap the white porcelain suit, thank you."

"this…"

The shopkeeper looked at Zhongli hesitantly, but Zhongli himself was very calm, and returned both tea cups to the shopkeeper, "Just do as he said, trouble."

The owner took the tea set and turned around and went into the store to make the packaging. Zhongyuan Zhong also puffed out his cheeks and said, "Sir, you are like this again. I have told you many times that our family does not have much savings. These teas have a set of usable tea sets. Enough."

In fact, according to his concept, a set of glasses is enough to drink water, but his guardians seem to insist on cultivating his style and literacy, so they will appear in the shop that sells tea sets.

Central Plains, who learned to be diligent and thrifty at a young age, is also very hardworking.

"I'm sorry, I'm not used to it yet." Zhongli apologized calmly, no matter how insincere he heard it.

However, he didn't lie to the children. It is true that the habits of thousands of years cannot be reversed by ordinary people's life in just a few years.

"You... Forget it." Knowing that his husband is such a calm character, Zhongyuan Zhong also gave up his persuasion. He scratched his hair helplessly and muttered in a low voice, "I really want to know how rich you were before..."

At this time, the owner came out of the backstage with the wrapped tea set, handed the package to Zhong Li, and said, "Thank you for 12,000 yen, sincere."

Zhongli stood still.

Under the suspicious gaze of the shopkeeper, the little boy on the side took out a small wallet from the trousers pocket of his overalls, and said while taking out the money, "Really, I knew you must have forgotten to bring your wallet again!"

Zhong Li: "Sorry, I'm not used to this."

The shopkeeper's look at Zhongli has changed from the admiration of the connoisseur to the worry of Ying Nian's dementia.

Zhong Li calmly ignored the shopkeeper's gaze, and when Zhongyuan Zhong had paid the payment, he picked up the shopping bag with the tea set in one hand, "Let's go, I'm not going to eat the dim sum from that shop."

The nine-year-old Zhongyuan Zhong also immediately forgot the helplessness before, and happily responded: "Oh!"

It's a sunny Sunday.

Zhongyuan Zhong also walked in the forefront happily, his ochre hair that became brighter and brighter in the sun rose and fell as he walked, humming the music he heard at the door of the shop he passed by before.

It's like every normal nine-year-old child who can't see the slightest bit of being unable to walk and talk normally after leaving the laboratory a year ago.

The battle in the inner world has stopped a little recently, and there are a little more shops open on the street. Looking at the back of Zhongyuan Zhong who is also jumping and walking in the distance, Zhongli recalled the time when Tiaoye Caiju came to chat with him a few days ago. said words.

"You probably don't know why the world is so peaceful during this period of time." The blind young man said with a smile, "I heard that the leader of the port mafia had some kind of strange disease, and now the entire port mafia is strictly guarding against it. Let a little bit of information leak out, other organizations are watching, and naturally it will be much quieter."

The calm before the storm.

Zhong Li is very aware of the current state of the leader. It seems to be the influence of the world consciousness. The one-time contract punishment that should have taken effect quickly has been stretched. The leader has a strange disease that keeps growing stones in his internal organs. It's just that he hasn't checked it out yet. Once the leader determines that this is an incurable terminal illness, he will definitely vent his pain on the city of Yokohama.

Yokohama at that time will face the real **** horror, followed by Nirvana rebirth.

"Sir, here we are."

Zhongyuan Zhong's brisk voice interrupted Zhong Li's thoughts. As soon as he looked up, he saw the boy's impatient expression and the sweet and lovely dessert shop behind him.

In Japan, it is often a shameful thing for an adult male to enter a dessert shop. Even if he has children around, he is still uncomfortable most of the time. Zhongli naturally doesn't care about this, but the girls in the shop occasionally throw in The strange vision still exists.

Zhongyuan Zhong also glared at the girls with round eyes, but it only caused them to scream vaguely, and sighs such as "so cute" floating over.

A nine-year-old who considers himself a man was turned into a pufferfish by anger.

The waitress in a maid outfit walked up coyly and asked in the envious eyes of her colleagues, "Sir, what do you need?"

As if unaware of the waiter's thoughts, Zhong Li looked at the menu and said, "A strawberry cake, a glass of mint sparkling water."

Zhongyuan Zhong also pointed to the menu, "Sir, there is a red wine cake that was only served on Monday, I want this!"

"No. Young people are forbidden to touch alcohol."

"Hey!"

The waiter watched the interaction between the big and the small with red cheeks, until the big one asked her aloud, "Girl?"

"Yes... yes!" The waiter almost straightened his body like stress.

"The straps on your cuffs are a little loose." Zhong Li motioned to the waiter to pay attention to his cuffs, "If you want to tie the silk knots beautifully and tightly, you have to do this..."

The eighteen-year-old girl waiter was dizzy, and when she put on the two bow ties that she had tied herself to submit the order, there was no such worldly desire in her mind.

Her colleague said enviously, "Yumi, that handsome guy taught you to tie a bow, don't you try it?"

"No." The expression on Yumi's face was aloof, "I think he looks like my dad now."

In the booth, Zhongyuan Zhong also looked at Zhong Li strangely, "Sir, can you even tie a bow?"

He always thought that only girls would study this.

The erudite Mr. Zhong Li: "I only know a little bit."

"...It's not surprising that you would say that."

The strawberry cake in the store happened to be sold out, and the fresh desserts will take a while to be made. Zhongyuan Zhong was also lying on the table in a bored manner, his eyes fell aimlessly glanced outside the window.

Office workers in a hurry, underworld members with bulging armpits, teenagers arguing with the dessert shop manager...

Ok?

Zhongyuan Zhong also sat up straight, tilted his head and looked at the situation over there curiously.

The young man dressed up as a postman, with messy black hair, and his slightly squinted dangling eyes seemed to be smiling at any time, but the expression on his face was full of anger and puzzlement, and he was arguing loudly with the female store manager.

Through the thick glass, Zhongyuan Zhong could only vaguely hear their voices. In order to hear them clearly, he involuntarily leaned towards the glass, which naturally caused Zhong Li, who was reading the free newspapers in the store opposite him. attention.

He followed the line of sight of Zhongyuan Zhongyao, and naturally he saw the boy who was arguing.

That is…

At this moment, the young man just happened to cast an unconscious glance into the window, and happened to meet Zhong Li who was looking at him. The young man was slightly startled, and he said something to the store manager before heading towards the store door. walked over.

As soon as he entered the store, the young man walked to Zhongli's table with a clear goal, and said loudly, "This gentleman can definitely testify for me!"

The store manager behind him hurried over and kept apologizing: "Sorry, customer, I didn't expect this kid to rush in like this. I'm sorry to disturb you. I'll take him away right away..." I just wanted to grab the boy's wrist.

The young man was not happy. He nimbly avoided the store manager's hand and said angrily, "It's obviously the store manager, and you have been pretending that you don't know the contents of the letter! Do you even have to refuse someone who is absolutely fair and just?"

"What are you talking about, kid!" The store manager was also very angry when he mentioned this, "You threw away my letters and said that they were all junk letters. Did you open them and read them? No? Saying that you have thrown away important letters, and opening other people's letters without permission to peek at it is simply a disqualification for you as a postman!"

The teenager was very aggrieved, "I didn't take it apart! Why take it apart for something that can be seen at a glance? Isn't it a good thing to save time? Why do you adults always pretend you don't know?"

"What nonsense are you talking about..."

"So far."

Zhong Li put down the newspapers and magazines in his hand, and stopped the two people from arguing endlessly: "I have already understood the general situation. Boy, as you said, I will uphold justice for you. It's really indecent to argue in front of so many customers in the store."

The store manager was stunned for a moment, only to realize that his dispute with the teenager had attracted a lot of attention. The customers in the store were looking at her openly or secretly, while the clerk standing at the front desk was gesturing frantically at her. .

"No, I'm very sorry!" After all, he was a social person, and the store manager immediately adjusted his attitude to apologize to the customers, "I'll take this child to discuss in the room, and disturb everyone..."

The customers watching the excitement gradually dispersed, and the store manager breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and wanted to say something, but was pulled aside by the waiter who hurried over and whispered a few words in a low voice.

The voice was low enough, but the closest people still vaguely heard the words "dead".

The store manager didn't care to continue arguing with the teenager, and immediately ran back to the inner room through the staff passage next to the counter.

Zhongyuan Zhong also stood up solemnly and looked at Zhong Li subconsciously, but saw that Zhong Li was focusing his attention on the young man.

"Why are you looking at me like this!" The boy frowned in dissatisfaction, "It's not because of me, you know it!"
