Following Tian Cuifang, I walked into a small restaurant and saw three tables in the hall, but only one of them was occupied.
"Let's sit down." Tian Cuifang took Su Jinyue to a table and sat down, placing the dishes on the ground. "The owner of this restaurant has a very strange temper. He never keeps a menu. When customers come in to eat, they can only eat the dishes he specifies. But the food here is delicious. I came in here by chance last time and fell in love with it after trying it once. It's not expensive and has unique characteristics."
"It has a unique feature, but business isn't very good," Su Jinyue said, looking away. It was lunchtime, but the shop was still deserted.
Tian Cuifang nodded in agreement. "That's right! I suggested to the boss last time that his food is so delicious, and adding a few more tables in the hall would definitely boost business, but he just doesn't care." She couldn't understand. Isn't the point of opening a shop to make money? Why open a shop if not for the purpose of making money?
Su Jinyue smiled as she saw a young man with long hair and delicate features walk out. He exuded an extraordinary aura. A cultivator!
When the other party saw Su Jinyue, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He walked forward, put the food in his hand on the table, and greeted Tian Cuifang, "Auntie Tian, it's been a long time since you came." He thought that he was the only cultivator on Earth. After all, he had been on Earth for more than a hundred years, and this was the first time he had met a cultivator.
He was from Tianxi Continent. After failing to survive his tribulation, his soul came to Earth and was reborn in his current body. For the past hundred years, he has been searching for a way to return to Tianxi Continent, but after so many years of searching, he has been fruitless.
"It's too cold today so you're afraid to go out. Xiao Su, he is Ouyang, the owner of this store, and Ouyang, she is Xiao Su." Tian Cuifang introduced the two parties.
"Hello!" Ouyang extended his hand towards Su Jinyue. He could tell that Su Jinyue was young, but her cultivation was no less advanced than his. How did she cultivate? After all, this Earth was short of spiritual energy, and cultivating was no easy task. He had been cultivating for over a hundred years and had only just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. This was due to his good aptitude and several opportunities.
"Hello!" Su Jinyue extended her hand and shook Ouyang's. He must have originally been cultivating on Earth. Any cultivator from other realms would be suppressed by the spatial laws of Earth.
"Do you have time to chat?" Ouyang Qi asked. He really wanted to know if Su Jinyue was from Earth and how she cultivated.
"Let's do it another time," Su Jinyue said. She also wanted to know who Ouyang Qi was, but today wasn't a good time. Although she knew Aunt Wang wouldn't gossip, there was no such thing as a wall without a crack. Not only in this era, but even in the future, relationships between men and women would be taken very seriously. She didn't want to be gossiped about over something so baseless.
"Ouyang, don't underestimate Xiao Su's youth; she's already married," Tian Cuifang said with a smile. Xiao Su was so beautiful, Ouyang must have fallen for her. If she weren't married, she'd be willing to act as a matchmaker, but that wasn't possible now. Disrupting a military marriage is a crime. Besides, Zhan Yihan was far superior to Ouyang. He'd become a regimental commander at just 24, something few in China could achieve.
A hint of surprise flashed in Ouyang Qi's eyes, "Are you married?" He actually wanted to ask whether Su Jinyue's husband was an ordinary person or a cultivator.
Su Jinyue smiled and nodded, "I'll introduce you to each other when I have time."
Ouyang Qi nodded and said, "Enjoy your meal, I'll go in first." He had a lot of things he wanted to ask Su Jinyue, but he also knew that now was not the right time.
"Xiao Su, have you and Ouyang met before?" Tian Cuifang asked after Ouyang Qi came in. She looked at the two of them and it didn't seem like this was their first meeting.
"First time meeting you," Su Jinyue said. It was only because they were all cultivators that it didn't feel so unfamiliar.
"You two look so familiar, I thought you had met before." Tian Cuifang said with a smile.
Su Jinyue smiled, picked up a piece of vegetable with chopsticks and put it in her mouth, "The food is delicious."
"I told you, once you try it once, you'll want to try it a second time," Tian Cuifang said with a smile.
"Yes." Su Jinyue agreed with a smile.
Ouyang Qi came out with a pot of tea and placed it on the table. "This is the tea I just picked. Please try it."
Su Jinyue saw the tea and smiled faintly. It was also Frostleaf Grass Tea.
Tian Cuifang picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said in surprise, "Xiao Su, this tea is the same as the one you gave me yesterday."
"Really? That's quite a coincidence," Ouyang Qi said with a smile. He had collected quite a few goodies on Earth over the years, but no matter how many goodies he had, he couldn't return to Tianxi Continent. Thinking of his wife back in Tianxi Continent, his heart ached. He wondered how heartbroken she would be upon hearing the news of his death. He truly wanted to see her.
When Su Jinyue and Tian Cuifang arrived at the bus stop, the entire platform was full of people.
"Why are there more people here than when we came? How do we get up there?" Tian Cuifang frowned.
"Aunt Wang, Sister-in-law Zhan, where have you been?" Fang Meijing saw the two approaching. They'd been separated after entering the market, and they'd thought they'd see them at the dumpling shop, but they'd waited and waited, but they hadn't come. They'd always eat lunch at the dumpling shop, rest for a while, and then come out just in time for the bus.
"We walked around." Tian Cuifang said with a smile.
"Have you eaten yet? I still have two pancakes here." Fang Meijing pulled out two large pancakes from her pocket. She had made them this morning. She knew that food outside was expensive and tasted bad. If it weren't for the unbearable cold outside, she wouldn't have gone into the dumpling shop. Fortunately, there were a lot of them, so buying a couple of dumplings wouldn't cost much.
"We've eaten, the bus is here, let's get on." Tian Cuifang saw the bus coming and quickly squeezed to the front. If they couldn't get on, they wouldn't be able to go home that day.
But no matter how fast she was, the people in front of her were even faster, pushing Tian Cuifang and Su Jinyue to the back.
Looking at the packed bus, Su Jinyue really didn't want to get on it, "Aunt Wang, let's think of other ways." There weren't so many people when they came here, and it felt like they couldn't breathe in the car. Now there are more people than when they came, and it's really hard to breathe when they squeeze in.
"So what should we do?" Tian Cuifang watched the bus drive away, feeling a little regretful. If it were closer to the military area, they could walk back, but this was so far away, the bus would take several hours, and walking back would probably take until tomorrow.
