Chapter 21 First Meeting 2
After Huo Yanshen said the word "believe", even he himself found it unbelievable, and doubts kept echoing in his mind: Why was he so bewildered that he chose to believe the words of a girl whom he regarded as a charlatan?
Forget it, if you don’t understand, just don’t think about it. Why bother yourself?
"Let's go! Let's eat first." Huo Yanshen tried to put these inexplicable thoughts behind him and said in a light tone.
"Okay! Let's go." Yang Mian responded enthusiastically, and the excitement seemed to be overflowing.
The two walked side by side on the street, and the street lights made their shadows sometimes long and sometimes distorted.
Ten minutes passed in a flash, and they arrived at a barbecue stall.
The air was filled with the rich and mellow aroma of barbecue, which was the tempting aroma created by the collision of charcoal fire and ingredients. Yang Mian was instantly attracted by the aroma and stopped naturally.
"Boss, order some food." Yang Mian shouted crisply, his voice full of anticipation for the delicious food.
"Okay, I'll be right there." The boss responded enthusiastically, wiped his hands deftly, and quickly came to Yang Mian.
"What would you like to eat, guys?" The boss took out the menu and handed it to them with a simple smile on his face.
Yang Mian took the menu, scanned it quickly, muttered to himself, and thought carefully. After a while, she raised her head and said clearly: "Four strings of leeks, four chicken wings, two eggplants, one serving of chicken cartilage, another serving of fried snails, and two bottles of Coke." After she finished speaking, she paused slightly, a sly look flashed in her eyes, and she added with a smile: "Exactly one hundred yuan, he will pay."
When Yang Mian was ordering food, he was silently calculating the prices in his mind.
She was a principled person. Once she agreed to pay a hundred yuan, she would never take a penny more, even if the person in front of her was the wealthy Huo Yanshen.
Huo Yanshen paid using the QR code.
Paid 200 yuan.
"Order another one like hers."
The boss responded, "Okay, wait a moment."
Other people's voices came from the side: "Come on, come on, drink, drink."
In the lively and noisy atmosphere of the barbecue stall, the charcoal fire burned fiercely, making crackling sounds and splashing sparks from time to time.
The group of people drinking at the next table were in high spirits and their noise was getting louder and louder.
One of them was a fat, red-faced man, obviously drunk. He staggered and staggered towards Yang Mian and Huo Yanshen.
"Hey!" The big man yelled in a hoarse voice, his tongue tied, "You two... are really fun to watch, come have a drink together!"
Yang Mian was looking forward to the delicious food that was about to be served, and was startled by the sudden shouting.
However, as a master of metaphysics and martial arts, she did not show any fear at all. Her eyes instantly became as sharp as a knife and she looked coldly at the big man.
Huo Yanshen also noticed something strange and subconsciously stepped in front of Yang Mian. However, before he could open his mouth, Yang Mian had already taken a step sideways and easily avoided his move.
"No need, we are not interested." Yang Mian's voice was clear and cold, like an icy spike in the cold night, "Go back to your table quickly."
The big man seemed to be paralyzed by alcohol. He didn't take Yang Mian's warning seriously at all. He grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellowed teeth, and continued to argue: "Don't be so disrespectful..." Before he could finish his words, his foot slipped, and the whole person rushed towards Yang Mian uncontrollably.
There was a flash of displeasure in Yang Mian's eyes. He snorted coldly, and his body moved as agile as a ghost. He grabbed the big man's arm effortlessly and threw him over his shoulder beautifully.
The big man's huge body fell heavily to the ground with a dull sound. He screamed in pain, "Ouch, ouch!" and the drunkenness dissipated in an instant.
This sudden change happened too suddenly. The originally noisy barbecue stall became quiet in an instant, and everyone's eyes were focused on their table.
Seeing this, the big man's companions became furious. They stood up and shouted, and surrounded him aggressively.
One of the young men with dyed yellow hair had a ferocious face and shouted viciously, "You dare to touch our big brother? No one will leave alive today!"
Huo Yanshen's eyes flashed, and he was about to take action, but he saw Yang Mian raised his hand to stop him gently.
"You stay here obediently, I will take care of these minions." Yang Mian turned to look at Huo Yanshen, his eyes full of confidence and domineering, and the corners of his mouth raised, outlining a hint of contempt.
I haven't exercised for a long time, so it's a good time to practice.
After saying that, Yang Mian moved his wrist calmly, and the aura around him suddenly changed.
Before those people could react, she had already rushed into the crowd like a tiger descending from a mountain.
Her body was erratic, her punches were powerful, her kicks were sharp and swift, and every time she attacked, she hit the opponent's vital points accurately.
In the blink of an eye, the people who rushed up were like fallen dominoes, falling to this and that, rolling on the ground wailing in pain.
The blond young man was so frightened that his face turned pale as paper, his legs became weak, and he wanted to run but couldn't move. Yang Mian walked slowly up to him, looking down at him with a chill in his eyes.
"You...don't come over here!" The yellow-haired young man's voice trembled, almost crying.
Yang Mian smiled coldly and was about to speak when the owner of the barbecue stall ran over in a panic, holding a skewer clip in his hand. He pleaded in a trembling voice: "Everyone, please talk nicely if you have anything to say. Don't make trouble here. Everyone calm down..."
Yang Mian looked at the boss, then at the people lying on the ground in such a state of disgrace, frowned slightly, and snorted, "I'll let you go this time, but if it happens again, I won't let you off easily."
As if they had been granted amnesty, the crowd scrambled to help the big man up and fled in disgrace.
Upon seeing this, the diners at the barbecue stall cast their gazes in awe and amazement. Then, the noise started again, but this time, everyone's topic revolved around Yang Mian.
The boss quickly brought the grilled food to the table, and even served an extra plate of grilled potato chips, smiling apologetically: "You two, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble today. This is my treat."
Huo Yanshen looked at Yang Mian, his eyes full of admiration and curiosity: "I didn't expect that you not only know how to read faces, but also have such powerful kung fu."
Yang Mian winked playfully, picked up a piece of chicken wing and took a bite, squinting his eyes in satisfaction: "Mm, it's delicious! It's just fancy moves."
Yang Mian said modestly.
The two enjoyed the food and had a pleasant conversation.
Huo Yanshen's eyes were full of curiosity, and unknowingly, he found himself becoming more and more attracted to this special girl.
As the night progressed, the number of customers at the barbecue stall gradually decreased and the owner began to clean up the tables and chairs.
Huo Yanshen and Yang Mian were also preparing to leave.
