Chapter 1067 People Who Chase Miracles
…
"Oh my god, it's really you!"
When Aoi walked down from the viewing platform carrying a heavy bag of golden dragons, a very familiar voice came to her ears.
She turned her head to look and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, "Yo, Tiger Claw!"
"Hahaha, long time no see, Aoi!" The big man hugged her and patted her back hard, "When Your Majesty announced your name, I thought it was someone with the same name. I didn't expect you to win. Passing the Chief Knight and Dawn, it really surprised me! Wait...this feeling, are you fat?"
Aoi pushed him away with a smile and punched him in the chest in response, "Fuck you, compared to before, you are just bones and skin. Is this normal?"
"No, I mean it's better to be fatter," Tiger Claw whistled, "At least you look more like a woman." He looked Aoi up and down, "But to be honest, your appearance has changed too much. It’s a little too big... I’m not sure about it when I’m on stage.”
"Really?" She shrugged, "It's just that your hair is longer and you eat more. Aren't you getting a lot stronger too?"
"I learned this by staying at the construction site every day!" The latter raised his arms proudly.
"Huchi... Huchi... Aoi, wait for me," Xiao struggled to get out of the crowd, panting, "Hey, isn't this a tiger claw!"
"Look, this guy has barely changed. He's still so thin." Tiger Claw also gave him a warm hug, "Don't tell me you ran all the way here too."
"Ahem, cough... be gentle," Xiao said with a wry smile, "I came here in the caravan owner's carriage. If Sister Kui hadn't insisted on my company, I wouldn't have wanted to take such a trip."
"Are you a businessman?"
"Just doing odd jobs." He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
"Doesn't this guy know a few words?" Kui curled his lips and said, "He also learned the elementary education class a little faster than others. After passing the exam, he was spotted by a chamber of commerce. He sat in the room every day and dealt with the account books. It’s been a very comfortable time.”
"I see. Fortunately you're here, otherwise how could we get together so coincidentally?" Tiger Claw laughed, "Let's go to the Neverwinter Zone to have a good night's drinking and just celebrate Aoi!"
"Yes, but..." Xiao looked around, "Where's Snake Ya? Didn't he sign up for the competition?"
Aoi suddenly felt her heart skip a beat.
In fact, she had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but she didn't want to be too eager. At this time, she pretended to look at Tiger Claw as if nothing had happened, "It's not like he was left too far behind by you, so he went back first." Bar?"
"He... went to the Hidden Forest to build the railway alone." Tiger Claw replied lazily, "Although the pay is good, if you are not careful, you will lose your life. What's the point of earning more like that? In the past, He has even lived in a sewer, but now he has decent housing and he is still not satisfied. He insists on pursuing a double-bedroom apartment. Sometimes I really don’t understand what he is thinking.”
Because it can provide a warm and comfortable place for the family, rather than just a shelter from the wind and rain, Aoi thought with some sadness in her heart, "Of course it's for the sake of a blank slate."
"Blank paper?" Tiger Claw said inexplicably.
"Hey, you didn't even forget the blank paper, did you?" Xiao poked him, "She is our companion."
"I know, but what does this have to do with her?" Tiger Claw asked in confusion, "Bai Zhi has now joined the Witches Alliance and lives in the castle area. He does not need us to provide a house. And the guy from Snake Fang also, She obviously saw the white paper several times, but she didn't dare to go up and say hello, and even pulled me to hide aside. As a result, she still doesn't know we are here."
"What?" Kui couldn't help but be stunned, "Is it almost more than two years and you haven't met Bai Zhi yet?"
Tiger Claw shook his head helplessly.
"Pfft - hahahahaha," Aoi grinned, "Then he is really a fool!" For some reason, she suddenly felt much more relaxed, and even her steps became brisk.
"Sister Kui, please keep your voice down," Xiao said hurriedly, "People around are looking at us."
But Aoi didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, she waved to the crowd who were traveling with her, which was rewarded with good-natured laughter.
People have undoubtedly regarded her as Miss Champion.
"It's great to be famous..." Tiger Claw sighed, "Two years ago, I never imagined that such a day would happen."
"Compared with fame, the one hundred golden dragons are the most important thing," Xiao Ze had a different view. "If it is used for business, the income will definitely be higher than work. Even if you don't know anything, you can still find a business association to invest in it. Just in case. To be able to grow big, you can basically just sit back and collect money——"
"No, I want to buy a house." Kui interrupted, "In the border area."
"Eh?" Xiao said dumbly, "But this is obviously a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If you start from scratch, do you know how long it will take to save a hundred golden dragons!"
"I know, but I've already decided," Aoi said without hesitation.
"What about your job?"
"So I want to buy a bicycle," she said following her thoughts. "You can see how easy it is to ride. If you have a bicycle, you can get back from here in one day... no, one morning. It’s Changge District. And there are also a lot of letters sent from both sides, maybe I can make more money.”
"You..." Xiao looked at her for a long time, and finally sighed as if surrendering, "It's up to you. I've never convinced you anyway."
Aoi smiled slightly, but her mind flew back to two years ago.
That parting day.
The four of them stood on the dock. She once asked Sheya, "Will you come back?", but she never got an answer.
At that time, she felt that she might never see each other again in this life.
The distance between Border Town and Changge Fortress was so far away that even if they merged into one city, in her eyes, they were still worlds apart.
You must know that the farthest place they have ever been is the garbage dump outside Changge City.
The border city is a place that is out of reach in consciousness.
It wasn't until she was tempted by the bounty from this sports meeting that Aoi set foot on the Kingdom Road for the first time. In order to cheer herself up, she even forcibly pulled Xiao on.
Unexpectedly, the distance between the two places refreshed her imagination - compared to her winning the first place, Aoi was more surprised that she and Snake Ya were not that far away. There were neither winding mountain roads nor bumpy roads. A straight black stone road connected the two places. For the first time, she had the feeling that this was a city.
In this case, why does she still wait for the other party to come back?
Isn’t it okay as long as you go there by yourself?
Just like His Majesty the King said.
The so-called "impossible" may really be a shackle to be broken - before trying, who knows whether it will be another miracle?
"Find a tavern and I'll treat you to a drink." Kui patted her money bag and said.
"Oh!" Tiger Claw clenched his fists excitedly, "It's a pity that Snake Fang guy won't be able to enjoy it."
"Remember to go to the hotel to save the money first," Xiao reminded, "it's enough to bring four or five gold dragons with you!"
"I know," Aoi smiled.
She didn't know what the end result would be, but she wanted to give it a try.
She already likes this feeling of chasing miracles.
