Chapter 69: This Long Day Has Finally Passed (Part 1)(1/2)
Ouyang stood silently in the field.
Then he took out Xue Lian's portrait and handed it to Kujo, who decided to make peace with him.
"Take someone back to have a rest, and then lead someone to help me find Xue Lian."
After saying that, he turned to Yidou and gave him a look, signaling him to stop talking.
But thinking of the other party's magical brain circuit, Ouyang felt that it would be better to explain everything clearly.
"It's not a big deal. I'll treat you to a meal of ramen later. Let's just let it go."
"Ramen?" Yidou noticed the elements instantly. He patted his chest and said, "I happen to know a good shop nearby. I'll take you there."
"Well, wait a minute." After Ouyang finished speaking, he turned to Kujo who was still standing and asked, "Let's just go over there. What do you think?"
"...Okay." Kujo Sanluo looked at Ouyang and agreed.
After today's regular meeting with Daozhu, everyone has their own ideas about Ouyang's identity.
Although Kujo Sora was absolutely loyal to General Raiden, it was precisely because of this.
After knowing General Thunder's position, she became more tolerant of Ouyang's attitude.
Otherwise, based on the previous situation, she would not let an outsider interfere in her affairs.
After saying that, he led the people to continue patrolling.
Finally, it ended like this.
After the onlookers dispersed, Kujo continued to patrol with his men.
Ouyang came to Shen He and gave her a pointed look, indicating that he would go back and take care of her.
Under the leadership of Yidou, the three of them came to a restaurant.
Ouyang looked up and followed Yidou into the store.
This is an ordinary restaurant in Inazuma. Apart from the appearance, it doesn't look as new as the surrounding shops, but it is still clean.
And the strange thing is that this restaurant has no name sign.
The spot that was originally used to hang the signboard is a piece of faded cloth.
It looked like a random graffiti with dye, but Ouyang couldn't understand it anyway.
Entering the store, Yi Dou greeted an old woman behind the counter enthusiastically.
"Grandma Arai, I'm here again!"
The old woman looks to be over sixty years old, but judging from her actions, she should be in good health.
After hearing Yidou's greeting, he cursed angrily: "How dare you come here, you little brat? Have you found a job? Are you prepared to compensate me for the money you spent on knocking over my bowl last time?"
"
As he spoke, the rolling pin in his hand banged on the counter "duang, duang". In Ouyang's opinion, the opponent's current aura and appearance of age were completely inconsistent.
Idou didn't expect that the other party would mention this matter as soon as he came up. He rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment and said with some embarrassment: "Uh... Granny Arai, I brought my friends with me..."
oh?
Only then did the old woman find Ouyang and Shen He following Yi Dou.
After squinting his eyes for a while, he immediately changed his face and said kindly: "Welcome, welcome, do you still have a friend? Sit down, sit down."
The old woman entertained Ouyang and Ouyang warmly, and pointed to the menu hanging on the counter and said, "What do you two want to eat? Since we are good friends, I will treat you to a good meal today."
Looking at the enthusiastic old woman, Ouyang and Shen He looked at each other, and both felt that the current situation was inexplicable.
The shop owner and Yidou seemed to be familiar with each other, but their relationship didn't seem to be very good. How could they turn around and be willing to treat themselves to food?
Ouyang pulled Shen He to sit down. He looked up at the menu and found that it was all ordinary food, so he casually ordered ramen.
"Old lady, just give us a bowl of animal bone ramen."
"Hehehe, okay, okay, please wait a moment." The old woman nodded with a smile after hearing this, and started working behind the counter without even asking.
Seeing the shopkeeper turn around and go to work, Ouyang looked at Yidou who was sitting down and asked curiously: "Do you know this shopkeeper?"
"Yes, I know you. Grandma Arai watched me grow up!"
As he spoke, Yidou said proudly: "Let me tell you, even if this store is not very good, Granny Arai's craftsmanship is very good! And she will give me an extra piece of animal meat every time!"
"So, after I grow up, as a reward, I will also include this store in my Arataki faction's residence! Hahahahahahaha..."
Seeing the very proud Arataki fighting, Ouyang wanted to ask him if he knew what it meant to repay kindness with hatred.
For a guy like Yi Dou who has a magical brain circuit, I think there must be a story behind coming to this store - I hope it's not an accident.
While waiting for the ramen, Ouyang asked what happened just now.
"How come you are facing off against Kujo Sora?"
"Hmph, that evil bitch is very bad. She bumped into me and refused to apologize. If you hadn't stopped me, my benefactor, I would have had a fight with her."
As for that?
Ouyang asked strangely: "When did you become so stingy?"
"What? How can I, the best in the world, Arataki, be a stingy person?" Ito, who was sitting on the stool, was dissatisfied and retorted, "My benefactor, you don't know how hateful that evil woman from the Kujo family is.
"
Speaking of this, Yidou gritted his teeth and said: "She, she...did you know she cheated when she competed with others?!"
"Oh? Competition? What are you competing against?"
"It's an arm wrestling match." Arataki Yidou replied matter-of-factly.
"Because of the Eye Hunting Order, that evil woman found me and wanted to take away my God's Eye."
"Of course I wouldn't agree, so I proposed an arm wrestling match. If she wins, she will take away my Eye of God. If she loses, she will leave."
"The result...ahem...Although I lost, it was because that evil woman was acting rogue. She suddenly used her strength to win the arm wrestling while I wasn't paying attention, and used despicable methods to take away my God's Eye.
.”
"Do you think she is a bad guy?!"
Well...
Ouyang said that he had listened. He could not understand such an important thing as the Eye of God. Why could an arm wrestling decide whether to stay or not?!
However, this seems to explain why Yidou was so unrelenting today.
At this moment, the old woman had already prepared ramen, and she brought a bowl of animal bone ramen full of animal meat to Idou with a stern face.
winter--
The big bowl hit the counter with a dull sound.
Under Yi Dou's surprised eyes, the old woman said disgustedly: "Little bastard, hurry up and eat! After you finish eating, go and work hard! Pay back the money you owe me as soon as possible!"
"The Sword Comes"
"Okay, Granny Arai! I'm starting!"
Looking at the people who were engrossed in eating, the old woman turned her head and enthusiastically served two bowls of animal bone ramen to Ouyang and Shen He.
"Come on, come on, try my skills. I'm not bragging. I've been making ramen for more than thirty years, and my skills should be pretty good in Inazuma."
"Well, okay, thank you."
After taking the big bowl, you can clearly see that the two of you are not receiving preferential treatment in the bowl.
But Ouyang didn't mind, mainly because he had just finished eating at noon, and judging from the interaction between the old woman and Yidou, the two seemed to have some stories, so he didn't care about this different treatment.
While a bunch of people were sitting and eating noodles, the old woman leaned behind the counter, wiped her hands with a towel and asked Ouyang with a smile.
"Young man, looking at your attire, it seems that you are not a rice wife, right?"
"Oh, yes, my wife and I are both from Liyue."
"Liyue people? Are they also like those adventurers who come to Daozi for adventure?"
"No, I'm a businessman." Ouyang didn't want to cause any trouble later, so he directly talked about a more popular profession.
But I don't know what the old woman thought of. After hearing that Ouyang was a businessman, her face became obviously more enthusiastic.
She smiled and took out a plate of barbecue from behind the counter, and said enthusiastically: "Come on, come on, try the barbecue I made. This skill is not very good. You just happened to help me taste the dishes, and I don't count you Mora."
"
Looking at the old woman with a kind smile, and then at the barbecue on the plate in front of him, Ouyang suddenly felt a little funny in his heart.
He didn't know what the old lady was thinking, but it was obvious that the other party might have misunderstood something.
Therefore, Ouyang said with a smile: "Grandma Arai, if you have something to say, you'd better just tell me directly. I'm not used to this."
The smile on the old woman's face faded as she saw through it.
But he still looks very kind.
She placed the barbecue on the plate in front of Ouyang and Shen He, looked at Yidou who was eating noodles with loving eyes and looked indifferent to the outside world, and said slowly: "I have watched this child grow up since he was a child.
