Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei returns from Sekiro

"Ah, what a cute baby, let Auntie hold me."

Su Xiaoyan held the baby in her arms.

"It reminds me of when Zihang was born. When I first saw him, I thought he was ugly. But after a few months, he grew into a cute and well-behaved baby."

Su Xiaoyan teased Old Tang with her fingers.

Lu Mingfei and Old Tang looked at each other. Old Tang shook his head and was pinched by Su Xiaoyan.

Constantine watched this scene nervously, as if he was afraid that the imprudent aunt would accidentally let go and throw his brother to the ground.

Lu Mingfei sighed.

He spent the whole morning walking through the places he visited yesterday, including the breakfast shop owner, uncle, aunt, little fat brother, Su Xiaoyan, Chu Zihang and their aunt.

He had seen everyone who was still in the city, but found nothing.

It is now noon, the sun shines on the surface of the artificial lake, and several koi carps are chasing each other in the clear water.

A barbecue grill was set up in the yard of the villa, and Chu Zihang and Aunt Tong drove to the farmer's market to buy ingredients.

This barbecue party was held by Su Xiaoyan on a whim because Lu Mingfei and Hui Liyi came to her house again. The weather is so good today. It feels so good to eat barbecue in the big yard while basking in the sun and drinking beer. Comfortable.

Lu Mingfei was running around and didn't even have lunch, so he agreed.

Erika was happily playing with the oil dishes and brushes. This was her first time participating in an outdoor barbecue, and she was very excited about this novel experience.

At this time, Chu Zihang drove in from the gate. After parking the car in the garage, he opened the trunk and took out several foam boxes and inflatable transparent plastic bags.

Each plastic bag contains Australian giant lobsters. They are waving their big claws lively, but little do they know that they will soon become delicacies on the grill.

Chu Zihang placed the lobster next to the grill, "Aunt Tong, go and light the fire. I will bring the other ingredients over."

"Okay, Master." Aunt Tong put down a foam box, opened the grill, picked up the bag of fruit charcoal, and dumped it inside.

Then she grabbed a handful of hay and threw it in, lit the match, and started a fire skillfully.

This family has held many barbecue banquets. As a veteran in the field of housekeeping, Aunt Tong is naturally proficient in all kinds of martial arts.

These days, if you don’t have any skills, you can’t even be a cook.

"I'll help too." Lu Mingfei went to help Chu Zihang carry the ingredients.

Each of them carried a big box and walked on the cobblestone path.

"Senior brother, what did you buy?"

"Chicken wings, oysters, scallops, prawns, pork belly, beef and vegetarian dishes are also in the refrigerator, so most of the products we buy are seafood and aquatic products, which are best eaten alive." Chu Zihang said: "They are all in I buy it at the farmer’s market in the west. The farmer’s market is a wholesale market for international trade. It’s cheaper and fresher than the ones in the mall. For star hotels like Regent Hotel, I also go to the farmer’s market early in the morning to purchase ingredients.”

Chu Zihang knew this farmer's market because his father often took him here to buy meat.

At that time, their family was poor, and buying meat and fruits here was one-third cheaper than outside.

Shopping here is of high quality and low price, and there are almost no other disadvantages except that you have to travel a little further and there are many people.

Fortunately, today is Friday, and there are not so many people on weekdays. On Saturdays and Sundays, it would be easy for cars to squeeze in, but it would be extremely difficult to squeeze out.

Chu Zihang still remembered how lively the farmer's market was during the New Year days. There were people wearing new clothes and bringing their children everywhere, and the market was full of people.

That is the memory hidden deep in Chu Zihang's mind. At that time, his parents had not divorced yet. His father borrowed a van from a colleague and took them mother and son to the market to buy new year's goods. They bought sausages, bacon, fresh fruits, and Dad’s favorite braised large intestine is a rare occasion for them to shop freely.

The little Chu Zihang was wearing new clothes bought for tens of dollars. He was holding his father in his left hand and his mother in his right hand. He was walking around in the crowded farmer's market. The crayfish seller cut off a crayfish owner. The crayfish claws were given to him as a toy, and that night, the crayfish turned into lobster meat and entered his stomach.

Chu Zihang didn't know if his mother still remembered these things. Since his parents divorced, he hadn't talked about these past events with his mother.

He silently placed the foam box on the grass. After tearing off the tape, a white mist floated into the air.

The box contained ice cubes for freezing and preservation. The ice cubes melted a lot on the way. In the ice-water mixture, there were oysters, scallops and shrimps. They were all very large and had been specially selected by Chu Zihang and Aunt Tong.

Another box contained frozen chicken wings. Aunt Tong brought a large basin and asked other aunts to process the ingredients together.

They brought iron picks, took out the freshly prepared minced garlic from the kitchen, and washed the ingredients at the tap.

Skewers of beef, pork belly, potato slices, and green pepper and pork ribs were placed on the plate. The aunts built several wooden shelves and put the prepared skewers on them.

Chu Zihang stood in front of the grill like a chef, picking up the oil brush and brushing oil while grilling the meat.

The pork belly is sizzling and oily, and the aroma of cumin and meat wafts into the air, making you want to eat it.

Hui Liyi also picked up a bunch of pork ribs in a decent manner and carefully brushed the oil. Lu Mingfei assisted her at the side, helping her get the seasoning bottle and sprinkle green onions.

Although Constantin also wanted to join the barbecue team, his attention was entirely on his brother. Su Xiaoyan hugged Old Tang and kept kissing Old Tang on the face. It seemed that she really I like babies very much.

After reaching this age, people's love for cubs will always increase to a higher level.

This is the so-called intergenerational marriage. Su Xiaoyan feels that Chu Zihang should really find a wife. His son is not at home, and his husband is not at home either. How can I describe this kind of life?

Although she has several good friends to drink with, watch football games with, and go shopping with, it is inevitable that she will be lonely when she is alone. It would be nice if she had a grandson or granddaughter to take care of her.

She likes to be lively and play, just like now, the yard is lively and lively, how nice it is.

Su Xiaoyan looked at her son and said in her heart that she must work hard to make a match when she goes to Annie's house tomorrow. She knew the eldest daughter of Annie's family thoroughly. The child had not been in love yet. He was also handsome, had a simple personality, and could not find any faults. Her family, Zi Hang, is considered a perfect match, and the two families are still good friends. When this thing is done, they are even closer to each other.

Chu Zihang had no idea that his mother was already thinking about what his grandson would be called. He concentrated on grilling meat and put the grilled meat skewers on the plate.

Eri Yi held up the green pepper grilled ribs in her hand like a show off, and Lu Mingfei sprinkled on the seasonings. Each of them took a bite, you fed me, I fed you, it was so satisfying.

Aunt Tong put the oysters and scallops covered with garlic paste on the grill, and the aroma of garlic wafted to the tip of Su Xiaoyan's nose.

She giggled, sat down on her seat, and waved the golden, oily and fragrant grilled pork belly in front of Old Tang.

Old Tang's dark eyes seemed to have turned into magnets, following the direction of the iron skewers on the skewers, turning and turning. He couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and grab it with his little hands.

"No, you have to wait until you grow up and your teeth grow before you can eat meat." Su Xiaoyan bit off a piece of barbecue in one bite, making Old Tang envious.

Only Constantine felt sorry for him and brought him a bottle of prepared milk powder.

He sighed slightly, with a look of vicissitudes of life on his face that didn't match his appearance. He hugged the bottle helplessly and sucked it one bite at a time.

Meanwhile, the capital.

Xia Mi wore casual clothes and bought a bowl of cold noodles on the street.

The high ponytail came out of the opening at the back of the baseball cap and fell on her shoulders. She was carrying a schoolbag and disposable chopsticks, sitting on a small bench and eating sweet and sour cold noodles.

The guest at the next table was holding a barbecue sausage in his hand, wearing the latest Bluetooth headset, a mouthful of cold noodles and a mouthful of sausage. There was a new iPhone on the table, and the latest episode of One Piece was playing on the screen.

Xia Mi looked up and said hello: "Boss, add root sausage."

"Okay." The boss took a bamboo skewer and skewered a sausage from the sausage-making machine and handed it to her.

She took a hard bite, as if to express her inner depression.

This was her lunch today. After eating, she walked along the road to the mall and came to the snack area.

"A pack of potato chips costs six, so let's buy twenty packs first."

Xia Mi stopped in the potato chip section and glanced at the potato chips in different packages.

"Is this enough for my brother to eat for a day?"

Xia Mi sighed, took out his frog wallet and opened it to see that there were a lot of banknotes inside.

She thought for a moment, took out four red bills, hesitated for a few seconds, and stuffed one back.

Even if you have money, you can't spend it carelessly. She has earned all the money through hard work.

In high school, she would work part-time at a milk tea shop or KFC on weekends or after school. Occasionally, she would go to a bar to work as an atmosphere team to make money. She used the money to pay for the tuition of Shilan High School and maintain daily necessities.

Although there are faster ways to make money, she has long been aware of the existence of those "monitors". If she uses special abilities to make money, it is difficult to say that she will not be noticed, even if the probability of being discovered is extremely low. , she didn’t dare to take the risk.

Over the years, she has been disguising herself as a normal girl. All the money in her hands has proven origins and is all earned through sweat and hard work.

If this world had a title system, she would definitely have a shining golden legendary title "Working Emperor" on her head.

Counting carefully, she has done quite a lot of work.

Bar atmosphere team, bartender, waiter, milk tea girl, KFC front desk, flyer delivery person, home delivery.

Relying on these jobs, she integrated into human society.

In addition to working, she also collects intelligence.

During her two years at Shilan High School, she had figured out the organization behind those "monitors": Cassel.

The emblem of this group of people is the half-wilted World Tree, and they are an organization formed by hybrids.

Times have changed, and the emergence of the Internet has made the exchange of information extremely easy.

An arrow pierces the clouds, and thousands of troops come to meet each other. This saying is very applicable in the information age.

If her whole body is affected, her strength is far from being restored. Let alone Cassel, even if there are several fully armed hybrids, she may not be able to guarantee a 100% victory solo.

So she chose to follow her heart and never use her abilities except when necessary.

After waking up, she used her abilities only a handful of times. At most, it was just mental hypnosis. For example, when she enrolled in Shilan High School, she hypnotized the person in charge of the teaching office and made him think that she was a new student and was on the student list. Added his name.

Recently, she planned to sneak into Cassel's preparatory class at BJ. She had already found out clearly that Cassel recruits mixed-race students from all over the world every year. Many of these students don't know about dragons. Will be told the truth.

The students in the preparatory class are different. Most of them come from mixed-race families. They know where they will go very early. There are only two ways to enter the preparatory class. One is family recommendation, and the other is the upcoming interview.

To participate in this interview, you must have a household registration in the capital, which means you have a clean background. After passing, you can become a transfer student and enter the preparatory class to learn relevant knowledge about Kassel in advance.

Xia Mi had been staying in another city for the past few years, and she moved to this city only after her brother woke up.

If you want to participate in the interview, you have to forge a household registration, and you can't let Cassel find out the problem. This is a very difficult technical job, and there are many places where money is needed.

Xia Mi touched his wallet and sighed again.

The money is not yet warm in the bag, but it is about to be spent again.

After throwing twenty bags of potato chips into the shopping cart, she went to buy a box of yogurt and a Coke.

When you come to the front desk, the cashier swipes the barcodes on the products one by one.

"Do you have a membership card?"

"some."

Xia Mi took out an old but well-maintained white magnetic card.

"The total is 287 yuan and 50 cents. After membership discount, it is 263 yuan. Do I need to use points to offset it?"

"Put a zero on it, I don't want a plastic bag." Xia Mi threw down three 100-denomination bills.

"Okay, thank you for your business." The cashier gave her forty yuan in change.

She unzipped her schoolbag, took out the folded plastic bag, unfolded it, and put the potato chips in one by one. If she couldn't fit them, she put them in her schoolbag.

A plastic bag in a big supermarket costs 50 cents. Although it is not expensive, when shopping outside, plastic bags are given as free gifts, and she does not want to waste such money.

So she walked to the subway station with a Coke in her left hand, yogurt and a bag of potato chips in her right hand, and a bulging schoolbag on her back.

With so many things burdened on her, it seemed effortless at all, and soon she entered the platform.

During the security check, the staff checked and found that her yogurt and Coke had not been opened, and they did not embarrass her. There was also a kind sister who was afraid that she could not carry it and helped her to carry it.

Although the detection of liquids on the subway is very strict, as long as they are not dangerous and are not flammable, explosive or corrosive, you can bring them to the subway station.

Milk and Coke are allowed to be brought in, but they cannot be opened and drank after entering the subway station, because eating and drinking is prohibited in the subway.

Xia Mi boarded the subway with ease, and the train moved along Line 4.

She got off the bus and transferred to another train. No one noticed that the girl stepped onto the transfer stairs and never came out again.
