The biography of Hu Liena of Douluo

As night falls, Dicheng's commercial district becomes even more noisy than during the day.

Roadside stalls selling food can be seen everywhere. Some sell street food, some sell handicrafts; some sell soul beasts and cub soul beast eggs, some sell "exotic treasures" and "antiques"; Something strange went in.

There are wine shops and teahouses with lanterns hanging high and colorful flags flying, clubs, hotels, pawn shops, gambling houses, treasure appreciation pavilions and auction houses. They are all there. The streets were bustling with people, and laughter, cheers, curses and harmonies could be heard all the time.

Dicheng, a newly born city, is not yet full of power networks. It is now a paradise for the rich. Being in Dicheng at this moment is completely a kind of experience of being in a hinterland capital, enjoying life and getting rich, and you don't feel the tension and chill at the border at all.

"Nana, look, this monkey is really good at playing with a stick." Following Zhu Rong's line of sight, Hu Liena saw a monkey playing with a stick in a decent manner. The monkey's quills exploded in its mouth, and the onlookers cheered.

"Wow, this chicken is so awesome. It can also shoot balls." Looking again, I saw a chicken-shaped soul beast about a person's height, flapping an orange leather ball back and forth with its wings. The ball was swatted in a decent manner, and finally the chicken beast swatted the ball into the crowd, and the onlookers cheered.

"Look, it's so awesome." Zhu Rong pulled Hu Liena's sleeves and exclaimed from time to time. Perhaps for a child from a big family like her who has been receiving soul master education since she was a child, a night market like Dicheng is also very novel.

Suddenly Zhu Rong stopped speaking, but Hu Liena was a little uncomfortable with it. "What's wrong?" Hu Liena, who was commenting on the couplet on the other side that said "Be prepared for danger in times of peace, is purely mediocre; enjoying yourself in time, isn't it happy and carefree", turned around and asked Zhu Rong.

Zhu Rong lay down and whispered in Hu Liena's ear, "That person looks at me so disgustingly, it feels like he is looking at a pet."

Hu Liena followed Zhu Rong's vague instructions and saw a teahouse boy in brocade clothes with his back to them facing away.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with that tea shop boy?" Hu Liena asked doubtfully.

"It's not him, it's the ugly short fat guy opposite him." Zhu Rong continued to point secretly.

Hu Liena continued to look over, only to hear the young man in Jinyi yelling in a high tone, "Thank you, Second Master, for your welcome. Welcome, Deng, your Majesty, please come."

Then, an ugly dwarf fat man with a fat head, holding out his big belly as if he was pregnant with Liujia, walked out of the tea shop with a trembling step.

The dwarf fat man went out and grinned at Hu Liena and Zhu Rong, revealing his mouth full of big gold teeth. Then he patted the clothes behind his butt gracefully, walked towards the intersection not far away, turned right and disappeared.

Hu Liena clearly felt Zhu Rong, and shuddered subconsciously when the fat dwarf grinned. It wasn't until the fat man disappeared for a long time that Zhu Rong came back to his senses.

That's right, the fat dwarf that Hu Liena and Zhu Rong met by chance at the night market was the one who killed the cub of the heart-devouring fox in the Star Dou Forest a few days ago. Although Hu Liena and the others do not know this short fat man now, they still have to say that fate is wonderful.

"Let's go." Hu Liena pulled Zhu Rong and ran all the way, and finally caught up with Sun Chuan and the other five at the entrance of a restaurant.

Following Sun Chuan into the restaurant, the group of people went up to the second floor under the guidance of the waiter. Sun Chuan chose a private room with an exterior window at the end of the corridor and led everyone inside.

Sun Chuan glanced at the menu handed over by the waiter, and gently pushed it in front of the two girls. "You choose first," Sun Chuan said with a smile, and the others did not express any objection.

Looking at the menu in her hand, which was as thick as the "Xinhua Dictionary" in her previous life, and the dazzling array of dishes on it, Hu Liena, who had difficulty choosing, felt dizzy. He flipped through it casually and pointed to the dish in the middle on the left, "Then I'll choose this one."

The waiter silently wrote down Hu Liena's choice of dish "Yi Zhu Lie Horse Hoof" on the paper. Then Hu Liena handed the menu to Zhu Rong. Zhu Rong, like Hu Liena, randomly selected a dessert called "Acacia Zemao Jelly".

Then the menu was passed to Feng Qingyang and others, and everyone chose a dish at random.

Finally, the menu was passed to Sun Chuan, who chose four dishes at once, "Braised Snake Soup", "Steamed Tiger Head", "Braised Golden Chicken" and "Spicy Black Turtle Soup". After gathering together ten dishes, he returned the menu to the waiter.

As expected of a big restaurant, the efficiency is extraordinary. It took less than three-quarters of an hour from the time the waiter left the house to the time all ten dishes they ordered were served.

After the dishes were served, when everyone looked at each other and refused to use the first chopsticks, Mr. Li laughed and picked up a "fierce horse's hoof" for himself first, breaking the awkwardness. Then everyone stopped being reserved and started feasting one after another to reward themselves after working hard for several days in the Star Dou.

After enjoying the meal, Sun Chuan suddenly frowned. He called the waiter and ordered two jars of fine wine and a pot of fragrant tea. So the adults drank wine and the children drank tea. For a while, they drank and drank together, and the guests had a great time.

An hour later, Hu Liena and others were full of wine and food. Leaving the table full of cups and plates in a mess, the group stood up and walked out of the private room door.

Looking at Mr. Sun Chuan, who had a face as red as gauze and was holding on to Mr. Li who was also walking erratically, Feng Qingyang couldn't help but shake his head and went to the front desk to pay the bill.

After leaving the restaurant, the cold wind blew, and Sun Chuan and Mr. Li's drunkenness eased a little. It was almost midnight, and many of the crowds on the streets of Dicheng had dispersed, but they were still bustling.

Feng Qingyang opened the way, and behind the Pojun Palace, Hu Yanshan supported two teachers who were walking a little crookedly. Zhu Rong and Hu Liena held hands and followed Feng Qingyang. The group slowly returned to their accommodation.

"Nana, that disgusting feeling has appeared again." When they reached an intersection, Zhu Rong suddenly squeezed Hu Liena's hand, "But this time it feels a little strange. I can't explain why."

Hearing Zhu Rong's whisper, Hu Liena quietly observed her surroundings, but found nothing. This is true after several consecutive observations.

"Don't be too nervous. Everyone, especially Teacher Li, is here, so you don't have to worry too much." Hu Liena grabbed Zhu Rong's hand with both hands and comforted her in a low voice. Not finding the strange person who made Zhu Rong feel something, Hu Liena could only attribute the reason to Zhu Rong being too nervous.

"Yes." Zhu Rong looked at ease and nodded obediently. The strength of grabbing Hu Liena's hand was even stronger without realizing it.

The bright moonlight in the sky reflects the bright lights in the world, illuminating almost every place visible in Dicheng.

Darkness seems to have no place in this prosperous new city where there is light day and night.

Until the few of them returned to the hotel where they were staying, the journey was uneventful. It seemed that Zhu Rong's worries were indeed unnecessary.

In broad daylight, the world is clear. How come there are so many shady things? Zhu Rong is still a little too sensitive.

Hu Liena was lying on the bed, one hand held tightly by Zhu Rong, looking at the same pure white ceiling with the white moonlight coming in from the window, and thinking silently.
